Ignasi Miquel has shown he has the potential to be a top-level player, according to Arsène Wenger.
The Arsenal manager handed the 18-year-old centre back his first-team debut at Leyton Orient on Sunday and Miquel made an excellent impression with a composed display in the FA Cup tie.
Wenger will turn to his more experienced defender for Wednesday night's visit of Stoke City but he expects Miquel to make the grade.
"He is not yet ready [for Premier League or Champions League] but he did enough to show that he will play in the Premier League and the Champions League," Wenger told Arsenal.com. "I feel that is the most important thing.
"He has some aspects of his game that he has to work on, a bit more committed in the challenges, better in the air. But overall he has shown that he has the potential to play in there."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

This is a very good product. I have noticed dramatic difference to my skin and nails after having taken it for a month. I am using it together with Hyaluronic Acid.

I think the price is reasonable and the capsule size is not big, easy to swallow. I tried this for 2 weeks, unfortunately it made it me break out not only on my back and chest but also on my neck as well. I stopped taking it, have gone back to Neocell Super C. It seems to have great reviews so I guess it's just my finicky skin.
Better than Neocell Super C type 1 & 3

Having been taking 3 weeks, I found my skin is firmer & bounding! Yet both Dr Best and Neocell Super C collagen type 1 & 3 brought me the size effects of stomach bloatedness (i alr added vit c to help for digestion) and lose appetite. However, I prefer Dr Best than Neocell, though DB's result may be slightly slower than Neocell, yet still saw my skin better. Neocell's, u may see the result within few days YET it made me very ill, fatigued n weak after taking 2 weeks - I got serious headache, fat face, hard to breath,..etc.. (u may see my review on Neocell) until I was very scared, I stopped it at once and threw away 2 bottles of Neocell (another bottle for my sis) I am not against Neocell's! why I tried Neocell first becos I read many good reviews abt this brand, however, it didn't work on me and caused me to fear, I believe it's the "sulfite" in their collagen that's caused me all these scary side effects! Now I m still on Dr Best, I only felt stomach upset n lose appetite, but as long aa it is disgusted (aft 30-45mins), my stomach will be back to normal. As for skin, yes, saw improvement. I will update more aft finished one bottle. However, I may go back to Japanese fish collagen which gave me no side effects. You may surprise the most obvious result that i saw n experienced my skin improvement is not collagen but Phytoceramides. (u may see my review on this).
So far so good!

I have been taking this product for my knee - I have osteoarthritis, but after two weeks at half the dose (2 pills twice a day) only my fine lines have improved. Almost completely filled in. I plan to try a full dose regimen of 4 pills twice a day soon. I want to build up just in case it interacts with my prescription medications. But I am happy that it is making skin look more youthful.

Re: Old Glory, slightly moldy. What to do?
The flag may be laundered or drycleaned appropriately for the fabric. Some drycleaners will do so for free. The flag may be trimmed slightly to get rid of tatters and may be sewn or stitched as necessary as long as the proper ratio in not altered.

Respect and honor the flag as you should the country that it represents. You don't have to. That's the most wonderfull part. But you should.

Re: Old Glory, slightly moldy. What to do?
We generally try not to air such grievances in the public forum, but here we are.
You most certainly did not simply say 'burn the flag'.. your comments were a highly politically polarized viewpoint (you yourself posted a warning to that effect) and they were removed for that reason - there is another, less closely moderated forum here for that type of discussion. If I gave you the impression that it was only because it was otherwise non responsive to the topic, I apologize.
To be fair I've removed the offending word in TCCs response. Most members here have no trouble discerning the appropriate forums for various discussions and viewpoints.
So lets move on..
Re: Old Glory, slightly moldy. What to do?
I don't really mind having my post removed, it's their website, they can do whatever they wish. I was simply instructed to veiw the "Registration terms and use" to see why... funny thing was I had to REALLLLLYYYY stretch to find a rule I had broken, and I'm still not sure i've broken a rule.... and the rule(s) they claim I have broken doesn't seem to exist as of 6:00AM CST 23 September 2013.
I can follow rules, but when they just make one up AFTER THE FACT, it makes it kinda tough to know when i'm walking in a "grey area..."
I have never caused any problems here and will accept them not allowing my post, but as of now, NO ONE knows exactly what rule(s) I broke since the rule(s) they stated DOESN'T/DON'T EXIST!
understand my "quandry?" and if "off topic" is against the rules, there are now about 7 posts on this thread (incuding yours and Mark's) that need to be be removed... just sayin'
your post was unsigned and I didn't realize your "handle" was a "play" on your name, therefor, I used "sir" out of respect. and yes, I do think tearing the "made in China" tag off the flag is disrespectful since it damages the integrity of the flag's manufacture. If someone was to have the stiches removed, then remove the "made in China tag," then re-sew the affected area, I would think that was "respectful." but remeber, THAT is just MY opinion... it's your flag do whatever you wish to it... but do try to remember, there is a little bit of MY blood in those "red" stripes, ok? as well as 2 grandfathers and 3 great grandfathers, and a couple of great uncles (one still burried in France)...

So for those saying burning is not the proper way, I suggest you let your finners do the walking thru the internet!
Flying a soiled, stained or equal flag, would be a disrespectful of the flag.
Anyways, I will try Woolite, and if that fails, OxyClean. Thanks

Re: Old Glory, slightly moldy. What to do?
Pounding on the people that make the rules here is kinda futile. Particularly when you pay nothing for it.
Further, this is an international forum. Thinking politics is limited to US D vs. R is failing to recognize the point.
There are flag etiquette rules. If one chooses to follow them, have at it. If not, no on is going to press charges unless you are trying to make a political statement in disrespect of the flag/country. Can't really make new etiquette rules, however. They are what they are.

Using OxyClean or "machine washing" was, formerly, my opinion of "DISrespect for the flag." You can feel free to wipe mud from your shoes with the flag if you wish (as long as the flag you use is one you own - with or without a "made in China" tag)...
For me, now, I just choose to ignore it... how one chooses to repect the flag is one's own choice. TBH, I would no more desicrate a USA flag than I would a UK flag... it is just disrespectful to those who love it.
In those days, I would have found throwing "old glory" in the Kenmore a little disrespectful, but If you don't think it's disrepectful, then I would say, "use cold water and wash with like colors on the gentle cycle."
Re: Old Glory, slightly moldy. What to do?
I have no ax to grind with you. You are free to love me or hate me - I don't care. i bare you no malace or anger; I do think you are misguided in your analysis of my statements, but that is YOUR opinion, and I'm ok with that!
Do you know why I'm ok with your differing opinion? becasue I believe in "freedom." so long as you don't violate my person or property, you are free to have whatever opinion you wish - just allow me the same courtesy...
I hand you an olive branch, my friend.
Re: Old Glory, slightly moldy. What to do?
Here is my rebuttal:
My post was NOT deleted for "political content" mine was deleted for being "off topic"..
I was encouraged to read the Registration Terms and Conditions of Service"
Guess what? I DID!!
As a matter of fact, I find NO RULE in the "Registration Terms and Conditions of Service" that say ANY response must be about the subject being discussed!!! NOR do I find any rule disallowing political discussion/conversation. THOSE ARE THE RULES YOU POSTED AND I FOLLOWED THEM – based on the current accusations you are making, I wish MY post re-posted!
So, the way I see it (via YOUR rules), neither MY comment or TTC's can be removed, under the rules, for being "off topic" or "political."
As far as "on topic:" My post stated the proper method of flag disposal. TTC's offers no information pertinent to the original question. TTC could have recited a passage from "Little Women" or "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" and been JUST AS "ON TOPIC!" as what he actually posted. The Moderators should be fine with that, though, as being "off topic" is not a violation of the "Registration Terms and Conditions of Service."
By TTC calling my statement "drivel" would definitely be a violation of Paragraph 13 of your own "Registration and terms of Service," which states:
"You may not post messages that are objectionable and meant to offend or incite conflict " TTC's comment has OBVIOUSLY "incite[d] conflict" and is definately "meant to offend." His post should be removed.
MY post should NOT have offended anyone, it was merely a suggestion of what someone MIGHT WANT TO DO to replace a flag - I was not promoting "boarding vessels" and ripping down flags and replacing them while the skipper is under duress of cannon fire! I say fly whatever flag you want to fly!
Also, TTC violated Rule 16 which states: "You may not use this forum to post messages that are meant to embarrass other members in an attempt to settle personal disputes."
TTC's aforementioned response was DEFINATELY meant to embarrass me by using the insulting word "drivel." By calling my statements "drivel" he obviously had "disputes" about my content. He could have simply sent a message to a moderator to have my comment removed. In regards to this, TTC's post should be removed.
Remember, I have NOT, yet, asked mine post to be re-instated; I am requesting you remove TTC's for violation of Rule 13 and 16. I would also like the reason mine was redacted to state the TRUE reason - Violation of rule 13 in that it contained "objectionable material." (Since "objectionable" is subjective, I will confess to it, but the flag one flies is a matter of "taste," like the paint color of the boat would be. Demanding that someone fly the USA ensign is "objectionable" to me – as it would be to a Briton, an Aussie, a Brazilian, etc.)
To say it is "Political" is simply a fallacy as I accused "the last 3 administrations" of violating the Constitution (Clinton, Bush and Obama) making it politically neutral. I referenced 4 federals laws only as logical support for MY reasoning to NOT replace MY sailing ensign with the flag of the USA.
That is my case AS YOU HAVE ASKED me to present. Now YOU need to remove the insulting post calling my post "drivel," or RE-POST my original content.
If YOU are going to allow SOME people to break rules (TTC), then YOU must allow all people to break rules.
The question is will you hide your own embarrassment by deleting this post or will you do what's right and delete TTC's post and re-instate mine. Why should his opinion count for more than mine (unless he is an owner of sailnet to which he has the full right to post/delete whatever he wishes)?
Thank you,

Zoos are responding to species decline and are leading the way in preserving animal populations. Conservation breeding of threatened and endangered animals is conducted through Species Survival Plans (SSP), cooperative breeding programs coordinated through the Association of Zoos & Aquariums. Woodland Park Zoo participates in 72 Species Survival Plans, from tiny invertebrates to big cats.
See a list of endangered species at the zoo
Led by experts in husbandry, nutrition, veterinary care, behavior, conservation and genetics, AZA-accredited institutions manage each species as one population in North America to maximize genetic diversity, with the goal of ensuring the long-term survival of the population and the health of individual animals. SSPs also involve a variety of other collaborative conservation activities such as research, public education, planned reintroduction and field projects.
Some species are reared at the zoo for release back into protected wild habitats, including the western pond turtle, Oregon spotted frog and Oregon silverspot butterfly.
Accredited zoos today play an irreplaceable role in the species survival equation. Scientific research being conducted in zoos on species' health, social behavior and reproduction are major contributions to the knowledge base on which field conservation relies. In fact, many successful conservation technologies used in the wild have been developed in partnership with zoos, as have advances in wildlife medicine. These approaches integrate the best of zoo- and field-based skills and practices.

Semi-Automatic Espresso Machines
Be your own barista! Semi-automatic espresso machines offer just the right amount of control over how your espresso is made at home. While they may look different, the basic functionality of a semi-automatic espresso machine includes a boiler, a portafilter and a switch or lever to perform the extraction. You'll still grind and tamp your espresso (or insert an espresso pod), start the extraction and then steam or froth your milk as necessary. Semi-automatic espresso machines fall into two different types:
- Manual Control: On these semi-automatic espresso machines, the shot is initiated and you stop it once you decide the extraction is complete, usually in 20-30 seconds. This offers real-time control over the length of your extractions
- Programmable Doses: These semi-automatic espresso machines allow you to program the extraction to stop after a specific amount of time.

The first thing that comes to mind when a business says they sell on Amazon is that they list their products on Amazon and when someone orders one of their products, they pack and ship the item to the customer. This is a very common assumption since it's how an online marketplace function. But Amazon has a special program for sellers. It is called Fulfillment by Amazon (FBA).
And that's what we do.
StuffKeithBought is an FBA seller.
This means that we scout and source products to sell and list them on Amazon like a regular merchant would. But instead of keeping inventory in our warehouse, we ship our items to Amazon warehouses all over the country.
So, when a customer orders one of our products, Amazon packs and ships that item for us. Amazon also provides customer service (including refund requests) to the customer.
This system allows us to leverage Amazon's extensive reach in terms of shipping and customer service so we can focus more on getting more products listed for sale.
BusinessIsInTheDetails, LLC was established in 2008 and is a registered business entity in the State of Alabama.
Our current product lines include tools, baby essentials, spa products, toys, and camping materials. If you wish to check out our storefront to see all the products we are selling, please click here. We are not limited to these products alone.
In fact, in the next few months and for many, many months after that, we plan on expanding this business so we need more suppliers and wholesalers we can source our inventory from.
If you have a product line that you think would interest us, please send us an email at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Discussion in 'Great Skate Debate' started by Sugar, Nov 21, 2012.
It says I have to become a something plus member to read the article? Ugh.
Hersh says the real goal is Sochi and he doesn't need to rush back from his groin injury which requires a lot of rest so it's just shutting the door on this season maybe he's not even sure he is speculating.
He also talks about Wagner going to Sochi gpf being a mixed bag because of it's location.
Hope Evan's well.
Phil also mentioned Yuna Kims appearance at the Senior B in Germany will overshadow the Grand Prix Final the same weekend.
I'm sorry Jenny Kirk isn't still doing weekly reports.
At times Phil Hersh writes about skating with such contempt, you'd think he was doing it at gun point. (Having met a few seasoned journalists at skating events, he wouldn't be the only one, unfortunately)
The link worked for me.
From the article:
``Lysacek withdrew from Skate America in October and decided not to go to Croatia for a Dec. 13-16 competition that would have allowed him to get his blades wet before nationals. So why did he skate in a made-for-TV cancer charity show in North Carolina last week?
Lysacek's agent, Shep Goldberg, told me that even if the skater was feeling ready to compete, the lengthy trip to Croatia could have affected the injury. Goldberg said Lysacek was committed to the Carolina event on a personal level, since his father, Don, is a cancer survivor. And Lysacek did not push himself in the exhibition, doing only two jumps.``
You`d think Phil would have learned by now that there might be really good reasons why skaters cancel out of events, and would quit snarking at them because of it. It`s like they are only allowed to withdraw from something if he approves it in advance
I heard a rumor that Lysacek was coming to Golden Spin of Zagreb.
I guess the source actually knew something, but it is over now.
Get well Even!
I don't think it would be a surprise, either. Between his health issues and the rapidly increasing standard in men's skating, there's no point in pushing himself if it's not to compete at the highest level internationally.
That said, skaters who don't just announce a comeback and are actually able to follow through deserve a great deal of credit (e.g. Plushenko, Johnny Weir, Shen & Zhao, presumably Yu-Na). It's not at all easy.
As Hersh articles go, this was quite mild.
It would be hard to do axels with a groin injury. Any move that involves swinging your leg up and forward - even scratch spins would be painful and just make it worse. That is the first muscle to hurt when I come back to skating after taking time off.
Evan would put himself in a unnecessary situation if he skips Nationals. I believe that it would give credit to OOT ego claims if he really believes that it would be in his best interest to not compete until next season. Hell; I think skipping the season in general is a poor decision. I dont know if i believe that he's really hurt. Plus if he is it just looks bad considering that earlier he wouldnt compete because of $$$ reasons. If he's well, he should get his butt out there for his own sake
Not that I'm a huge fan of his, but I don't understand any part of this post. He should skate at Nationals even though he's injured because you have a hunch from your earlier magic 8 ball session that he's not actually injured? Because you're worried about fan backlash from claims of overego? Backlash which is, of course, much more worrisome than some groin injury?!? Why not just let him call the shots as he needs to and trust that he knows best what is good for him. I don't understand the need for a conspiracy theory.
Usually an athlete can gradually return to his sport within one to two weeks after a groin injury. Didn't this injury occur even before Skate America?
Link required signing up for something in order to read. Signed up for too many things already. lol
I'd kinda like to meet the person who would have been surprised if he didn't show up for nationals before this article. No, actually, skip that, I wouldn't...
Gradually return to training, or start competing again within 2 weeks?
Depends on the specific injury as well as the sport.
Tell it to Alexei Urmanov, who withdrew from Worlds in March 1997 with a groin injury and was unable to compete again until July 1998.
Hope Evan will rest well and recover fully. He may still have a chance to skate in Sochi 2014 if physically fit soon. Gee... looks like it's common for 'returning athletes' to get injured. Will see how the other returning athletes fare?
Phil Hersh just tweeted about Evan having surgery:
Evan has undergone heria operation and will be off ice for six weeks. With Nationals from Jan 20 - 27th, this would only allow him 3 weeks at most to train his programs to compete.
I see him withdrawing and no return this season.
Lysacek undergoes successful surgery to repair sports hernia - Source, U.S. Figure Skating
Evan Lysacek's plans for a comeback to competitive figure skating this season have been further compromised by a sports hernia.
The latest setback, which required surgery Tuesday, all but ends Lysacek's hopes to compete at January's U.S. Championships.
I feel this is an ongoing trend.... skaters trying to come back after not competing, become injured with career-threatening injuries. Are skaters coming back because there is a lack of a pro circuit as in the days after 1994?? If so, maybe there needs to be some intervention on life after skating and how to be successful in other areas of life?
Michelle Kwan could offer seminars.
I'll honestly be surprised if Evan ever does come back to eligible competition. It would be nice if he did, but yeah, I'll be surprised.
Of course it wouldnt be, just like it would be no shock, actually no surprise whatsoever, if he never competes again. This isnt news to anyone.
if you are a fan of Evan I am not sure why you think it would be nice. I am not an Evan fan, but if I were, I wouldnt want to see a guy who was World and Olympic Champion when he last competed come back and have no chance at any better than say 6th at Worlds, and that is if everything went right.
Boy, aren't you a ray of sunshine. Maybe Evan enjoys competing and pushing himself to the limit. Lots and lots of athletes compete (in fact the vast majority compete) without any hope of actually winning. There is only one winner. Good thing those who aren't sure they'll win keep competing or we wouldn't have competitions to watch.
...and Urmanov was never the same skater after that groin injury. He did not even make the Russian Olympic team, which would have given him a chance to defend his OGM
Well, the reason he didn't make the 1998 Olympic team was that he was still too injured to try.
But in the 1999 season he couldn't beat Yagudin at all and lost to 16-yr-old Plushenko more often than not.
Latest Hersh post: Evan has a sports hernia
Sorry about Nationals. Get well soon, Evan.
That is why I said he was never the same skater again. He never regained his jumps. He was still young enough to develop them, but the injury made it impossible.
I'm sorry there is no longer a professional competitive circuit where skaters like Lysacek, Weir, Kwan and others could flourish.
Instead, skaters who have been away from competition for several years return to the grind of training against a new generation with bigger tricks. The risk of injury (as demonstrated with Evan and Johnny) is a blow to the body as well as the ego.
I agree. It is an injustice to these skaters there is no longer a professional circuit. Well in Kwan's case I am not sure she would have been interested anyway, she seemed to love competing and wanting a wholew new life after that, but people like Evan and Johnny and many others seems to be wondering around not sure what to do when their amateur primes are over.

What is measured?
The Observation Survey includes six literacy tasks, all of which are necessary for describing a young child's emerging reading and writing behaviors:
Clay's Observation Survey
Planned observations can capture evidence of early progress.
-- Marie M. Clay
The measurement of early literacy behaviors is complex and requires a commitment to careful and systematic observation. An Observation Survey of Early Literacy Achievement (Clay, 2002, 2005) provides a systematic way of capturing early reading and writing behaviors and is the primary assessment tool used in Reading Recovery. All of the tasks were developed in research studies to assess emergent literacy in young children.
The Observation Survey is also widely used by classroom teachers and researchers. The Observation Survey is a teacher-administered standardized assessment that adheres to characteristics of sound measurement instruments: standard tasks, standard administration, real-world tasks to establish validity, and ways of knowing about reliability of observations.
Reading Recovery teachers receive extensive training in the administration, scoring, and interpretation of the Observation Survey. Exit testing is conducted by a teacher other than the one who worked with the student.
How is the Observation Survey used in the evaluation of Reading Recovery?
What other assessment tools are used in Reading Recovery?
NCRTI documents validity and reliability
The Observation Survey of Early Literacy Achievement was reviewed and rated as a screening tool by the National Center for Response to Intervention (NCRTI) using a composite score for all six tasks. NCRTI assigned the highest possible rating -- Convincing Evidence -- in all categories: classification accuracy, generalizability, reliability, validity, and disaggregated data for diverse populations. With approval by the NCRTI Technical Review Committee, the Observation Survey can be used by school psychologists, special educators, and others as an evidence-based screening instrument to identify children at risk for literacy failure.
We ensure that children who struggle in learning to read and write gain the skills for a literate and productive future.

Hello was just wondering if anyone has come across the vest or neck seal material at a Jo-Ann Fabric store, or anything close,
thanks Jay
A very close match for the material was found a few months ago by one of the moderators. However, the material had to be bought in bulk (at least $500 worth), and was only produced twice a year. So alot of TDHers were able to send in enough fundage to cover the cost and get the "TDH-approved" fabric at that time.
As for Jo-Ann's, you might be able to find something similar. I've used the inside (wrong-side) fabric of a light-grey satin, called Casa Collection something-or-other. It works well, but it may be a color shade or two off.
I believe the mods will try another fabric run in the near future. Keep checking the board!
I bought my vest material at Jo-Ann's Fabrics here in Massachusetts. I used it inside out like LisaFett described in her tutorial. Worked well for me but its a bit too dark.
There are at least several different shades of gray satin commonly available.
I just found some really good polyester stuff that I think is perfect. It's washable, it's fairly tough, it has a very slight sheen, and it's a really pale gray. I'm using it to make hoods now, but I'll probably save enough for at least one vest. I found it at JoAnn's, but the trouble is that it's one of those things where they order a big box of "assorted bulk" fabric. Nobody knows what this stuff is, and I've never seen it before.
Oh well thanks the input evryone, but i just broke down and ordered a vest and neck seal from Richies Armor, since they do awesome work. can't go wrong there
thanks Jay

The year 2017 marks the 60th anniversary of the European Social Fund (ESF), Europe's oldest and main instrument to invest in people.
The Commission proposal for a Social Pillar is about modernising the current acquis. It's about supporting upward convergence through better education, skills and fair working conditions. About guaranteeing a European social model that is fair and sustainable. Economic policy is social policy. And social policy is economic policy. You cannot disentangle the two - and we need action on both at the same time.

The stress of the semester left me chomping at the bit for it to be summer break, and now that it's here, I've been crafting up a storm. I have a humongous list of things to do this summer: painting the living room, hanging shelves, getting rid of books I don't need, knitting like the wind, crocheting, organizing, and crafting.
This means I have also been hunting down crafty sites for inspiration, and I've decided that Ucreate is worthy of being shared with all of you. I stumbled upon it looking for neat ideas for cupcake toppers for a graduation party I was going to.
The site is setup blog style, so it's easy to navigate. The most recent posts are at the top of the page and you can scroll down for older ones. On the right side of the page you'll find links to posts by categories, and at the top of the page you can choose to browse the categories on the navigation strip (Kids Crafts, Parties, Reviews and Giveways, etc.).
The Kids Crafts section offers fun and interesting craft ideas to turn your children into busy little bees, and the Parties sections offers great ideas for decorations and treats to serve at a party.
I love the cheery atmosphere of this site, and I hope you will too!

Just realized that I never posted up in here. My hame is JW and from a small town outside Pittsburgh, Pa. I am a recent Cadet in Garrison Carida and am working on Jodo Kast.
I have been a Star Wars fan since seeing ANH on HBO when it first debuted and was hooked from day one. I have 3 young sons and a daughter who now share my love of the Galaxy Far, Far, Away. I quickly became enthralled with Boba Fett after seeing ESB at the local drive in when I was a kid...and years later when the Twin Engines of Destruction comic came out I was introduced to Jodo Kast and again wanted to know more about this false Fett. When I dicovered about 5 years ago there were guys (and ladies) who actually built these costumes I knew right away what I had to do...wait till i had the means to build and join the Garrison. So at first I wanted a Fett, but then realised there was only on true Fett...so I would have to become a fals Fett and thus decided on my Jodo Kast.
I am very early in my build and want to take my time and do it right. So I am happy to squire events and learn my way around as I build and welcome all the advice I can get.

Articulation agreements are formal, written documents agreed upon by two or more institutions. They provide a value-added component to a traditional transfer program by allowing additional transfer credits, enhancing the number and quality of learning options or by providing unique student-centered options (preferred admission, student support, financial assistance, etc.). The agreements, while maintaining the integrity of the separate programs at both institutions, will include:
- Program requirements
- Transfer policies and procedures
- Admission requirements
- Advising of LCC students
- Communication and marketing
- Length of the agreement
- Termination provisions
- Review and modification provisions
Benefits for Students
- Save money on tuition, fees, and books
- Accelerate academic progress
- Reduce duplication of courses, credits
- Provide additional educational enhancements
Transfer Guides
Transfer Guides provide the student with a list of LCC courses that meet specific course requirements at the transfer college/university. A transfer guide will be available for all programs associated with an articulation agreement. Students should meet with an advisor to discuss the specific transfer guide requirements. See Transfer Guides for additional information.

Rhineland arms
My first choice is a k98 replacement in .308/7.62x51 from Coles Distributing. I really want a .308 barrel with the military contours. Barring them, im looking at midway for a .308 replacement.

Alumna Barbara-Ann Yates attributes Lesley University with having a transformational influence on both her personal and professional success.
Barbara-Ann is an accomplished woman whose career spans education, business and government consulting, as well as public and community service. She is also a proud member and active participant in the University Alumni Council. Barbara-Ann graciously gives back through her alumni service and her philanthropy, and is a member of the Edith Lesley Wolfard Society, having designated Lesley as a beneficiary in her estate plan.
As a young, single mother reaching for a better life, Barbara-Ann first turned to Lesley for the professional opportunities that a college degree would provide.
"Little did I know that at Lesley I would find a warm, welcoming place with excellent faculty where I could breathe, study, and grow," she notes. "The professors and staff created a climate of support and of understanding that permeated every aspect of my Lesley experience. Sometimes, the smallest kindness has the most impact. Lesley afforded me the flexibility and support to nurture and spend time raising my son while continuing my education and preparing for a career. Those years are some of my most enduring and fondest memories. This environment is part of the Lesley magic."
Early in her career, Barbara-Ann worked as a special educator providing services to high school students with special needs. "The 'head and heart' strategy that I learned at Lesley and used with my students earned me the moniker of 'Ma' instead of 'Ms'," she warmly recalls.
After leaving teaching when jobs became scarce, Barbara-Ann pursued a master's degree and moved on to an impressive career in business. Now as a consultant specializing in enterprise-wide security programs in the financial and government sectors, Barbara-Ann feels that her Lesley experience paved the way for her professional success as a teacher and in business. "With both students and clients, my strategic vision helped me to identify innovative and unique near-and-long-term strategies," says Barbara-Ann, who is currently consulting for the United States Air Force in the area of information protection.
Barbara-Ann hasn't limited her impact to professional success. True to Lesley's educational mission, her life has been focused on service to others and the greater community. She was an adult facilitator with the Hugh O'Brian Youth Leadership organization, taught a self-defense class to women at a local community center and provides pro-bono consulting to a nonprofit that offers low-income, fully-accessible housing for physically handicapped adults.
Barbara-Ann also served on the Town Council in Durham, New Hampshire, was a gubernatorial-appointee to the Judicial Council of New Hampshire, and was the assistant chair to the New Hampshire Republican Party. She also has served as a committee contributor to the New Hampshire Board of Education.
With all of these commitments, Lesley University remains at the top of Barbara-Ann's priority list. She is a member of the Benefits Committee of the Lesley University Alumni Council. She says of her work on the Council, "I appreciate this opportunity to give back to the Lesley community and I encourage everyone to get involved with the great work that Lesley is doing today through alumni programming."
As a member of the Edith Lesley Wolfard Society, Barbara-Ann is making sure that future generations of Lesley students receive the same benefits from their education that she did. Barbara-Ann's planned gift and her annual giving to the Fund for Lesley are a tribute to her education and Lesley's mission. "I respect and value all that my Lesley years have brought and wish to honor that through my philanthropy."
Barbara-Ann wants all alumni to know that they can make an impact by contributing to Lesley. "Just as no kindness is too small to have an impact, no contribution is too small," says Barbara-Ann, who is just beginning to think about retirement but has already remembered Lesley in her estate plan. "It may be easy to become intimidated by large bequests and to feel that a small donation by comparison may not really matter. But at Lesley, every gift matters. Lesley is changing the world by supporting and educating one student at time. I want to be a part of that – one dollar at a time – now and in the future.Fall 2012

Elizabeth Warren: "There is nobody in this country who got rich on his own"
posted at 11:58 am on September 22, 2011 by Howard Portnoy
Elizabeth Warren, who was passed over by Barack Obama for the job as head of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, has announced she is running for the Senate in 2012. She will vie for the seat from Massachusetts long occupied by the late Ted Kennedy and currently held by Republican Scott Brown.
No sooner had Warren formally declared her candidacy than she jumped into the political fray with a disquisition on class warfare, which she views as mythical (h/t The Blaze):
I hear all this, you know, 'Well, this is class warfare, this is whatever.' No. There is nobody in this country who got rich on his own—nobody.
You built a factory out there? Good for you. But I want to be clear. You moved your goods to market on the roads the rest of us paid for. You hired workers the rest of us paid to educate. You were safe in your factory because of police forces and fire forces [sic] that the rest of us paid for. You didn't have to worry that marauding bands would come and seize everything at your factory—and hire someone to protect against this—because of the work the rest of us did.
Now look, you built a factory and it turned into something terrific, or a great idea. God bless—keep a big hunk of it. But part of the underlying social contract is, you take a hunk of that and pay forward for the next kid who comes along.
Short version: No rich man is an island.
The statement is a gift to Scott Brown, who can now use it as the centerpiece of his re-election campaign, which might go something like this: Who do you want representing your interests in Congress—me or the moron who said this? [Cut to video].
Of all the dunderheaded comments to issue from the lips of an Obama appointee or staffer (and there have been some doozies), this one stands above the others in its crass stupidity.
Government-provided services are universal: They are enjoyed equally by all citizens of the United States. Some, including the protection and security afforded by a well-regulated militia (aka police force), are guaranteed by the Constitution. Others, such as the establishment of a "fire force" (!), are unspoken covenants entered into by citizens of a municipality and their local authorities.
These services, regardless of the provider, no more determine the success of a rich entrepreneur than they do the poverty currently hobbling 1 in 6 Americans (a percentage, n.b., that has risen dramatically under President Obama's assault on the rich).

"These are exciting times for the University of St. Thomas to emerge and be recognized for its many great programs, people and accomplishments," David Harvey, chair of the University of St. Thomas Capital Campaign, said. "Great things are happening at the University, and we are privileged to be a part of it."
As CEO and Chairman of D.E. Harvey Builders, David Harvey understands the value of building a solid foundation. His family company has built homes that have strengthened families and communities in Houston for more than 50 years. Harvey also recognizes that strong schools provide the foundations for strong communities.
As a marathon runner, Harvey has learned how to stay focused on the road ahead. His runner's mindset has influenced his philanthropic vision, so he invests his time and support in organizations of faith and education, which ultimately yield the greatest benefits. That's why Harvey has chosen to lend his time and support to lead the University of St. Thomas capital campaign.
Harvey's commitment to his faith and the advancement of education is evident in his community involvement. He joined the St. Thomas Board of Directors in 2007 and currently serves as vice chair. Harvey's generous contributions enabled the University to introduce the Gulf Region Academy for Catholic Education (GRACE), which enables students to earn a Master of Education while living in community and teaching in Archdiocesan Catholic schools.
He is a current board member of Catholic Charities, Houston Architectural Foundation and Cristo Rey High School. He serves on the Strake Jesuit College Preparatory Task Force Committee and is a founding/charter member of Legatus Houston.
He joined the family company in 1977 after attending Notre Dame where he studied architecture, and the University of Colorado where he received a bachelor's degree in architectural engineering. He assumed the presidency of the company in 1986. Under his leadership, D.E. Harvey Builders was named No. 1 General Contractor in the Houston Business Journal in 2001 and from 2006 to 2009.
"Houston needs the University of St. Thomas," Harvey said. "We are educating our future: future employees, nurses, teachers and business leaders. St. Thomas students are educated with the specific skill sets for their professions/careers, but they also receive a well-rounded, liberal arts education that educates all aspects of the student. This unique brand of education produces individuals of faith and character."
Harvey said his roots in the community make him ideally suited to lead the capital campaign.
"I can be particularly effective in fundraising because of my connection to the Houston community as a local," Harvey said. "I grew up here; I run a business here; I am raising my family here, and I am highly engaged."
Stan Marek, president and CEO of Marek Family Companies, one of the largest interior contractor companies in the Southwest, is one of Harvey's life-long friends.
"I have known David since he was a six-year-old boy following his dad around the fishing ponds at what is now the Circle Lake Retreat Center," Marek said. "I've watched David grow within his company and in this community. I can assure you, he has worked hard and ethically in every endeavor he undertakes – and nothing came easy. David has met every challenge with determination and faith."
Marek gives high praise for Harvey's leadership and outstanding dedication to his family, employees and community.
"David is methodical, considerate and passionate when it comes to the projects his firm builds. His employees know him as a man that expects the best of every team member," Marek said. "And they know he cares about them personally as well as their role in the company. How David finds the time to be involved in all of his non-profit activities is beyond me."
"When it comes to family, I've never seen anyone more devoted," Marek said. "He was a wonderful support to his dad, in life and during his illness. His mom enjoys his consistent attention and looks on his accomplishments with great pride. His many brothers and sisters are very close and enjoy David's support and leadership. And last but not least, his wife, Mikki, and five children are the greatest joy in his life."
Jeffrey Hildebrand, founder, chair and CEO of Hilcorp Energy Corporation, has known Harvey since high school, and they serve together on the Catholic Charities board. He pointed out Harvey's numerous qualities which exemplify a leader of faith and character.
"Over the years, David has been a man of faith, intellect and focus in his personal and business endeavors," Hildebrand said. "He is a great family man. His generosity with both time and resources is admirable. David has made Houston a better place. His accomplishments will shape our city for many generations to come."

Hi folks!
As a newbie, I can't tell you how much I appreciate this resource and the really great advice you folks give.
I have a few sintra questions for you that I haven't found the answers to in other threads (even though I'm sure they're here somewhere):
If you're able to find it at Lowe's or Home Depot, what department is it usually in?
After you've cut it, warmed it and shaped it, is there anything else that needs to be done to it before priming and painting? I've read somewhere that some folks then fiberglas it. Is that necessary?
Does a regular utility knife really cut through the 3mm thick boards? Anyone use a RotoZip to cut with?
What silver spray paint works best to replicate Jango's metal armor.
Thanks for your time. I can't wait to start crackin'!

i have recently had a problem with fueling too . long story but will tell you what i experienced and what i did. some people will tell you to do all sorts, returen lines etc. up to you but if i was you i would start with the basics and logic then face the problems if and when they come.
i have 2x 600 holleys on top of my supercharger , i was running a mech hi volume elderbrock fuel pump. i change it as i liked the idea of adjusting the carbs to 100% float levels and checking for leaks etc before the engine was running . so im with you on the electic fuel pump , secoundly depending on how old your carb is i had problems with my needle valves not shutting off. even when i put in new ones they are still a bit sticky, after more use they are starting to work alot better , may be a idea to be a rebuild kit and clean it up and change the bits.
i incorrectly bought a bosch electric fuel pump and it sent the fuel pressure up to 12 psi and i soon realised i had bought the wrong pump off of ebay and it was a type that required a retun line and something i didnt need, and i dont think you need .
so as i always had a regulator i rang "real steel " a good american auto shop over here in the uk and they reccomended a holley red top pump . it is the more quieter pump and doesnt require a return pipe .
have fitted it and its great . i had a problem that i couldnt fit it under the car and by the fuel tank. so i had to bleed it to get it pumping as i fitted near the engine bay but on the other side of the inner wing .
i would reccomend you purchace a holley regulator and a holley electric pump. the regulator will come factory set at around 6 psi and is fine for holley carbs. ( most holley carbs will take alot more then 6.5psi as reccomended as their max pressure. most will take up to 8 psi, - speak to any good carb specialist )
house the holley pump as near to the fuel tank as you can but personally i dont like them under the car for obvious reasons. keep away from heat , mine works well under the front wheel arch at the front of the car. but i still need to see how it performs in wot , however i dont feel you will have a fuel delivery issue even if you house it away from the tank. i may have to move it further back, these pump are better at pushing than pulling fuel.
finally if you want to save money and want to work with what you have then simperly put a tee piece at your carb inlet and then say 12" away ( say near the friewall ) place a pressure relase valve set @ 6.1 psi then just a simple rubber return pipe ' the outlet into the TOP of the fuel tank . same as the fuel goes in when you fill up. DO NOT put it under the fuel level as this causes all sorts of problems which will take too long to go into. pressure issues. flow. wrong fuel readings. etc. etc.
however i would prefer the option i have done, depends on what budget you have. both are easy to do but the cheaper option is a return pipe. but you only require it as you have the wrong pump. so i feel you are fixing a problem due to the wrong pump. i would buy the correct pump personally as i dont like the idea of a return pipe. another risk in my opinion. one fuel line is bad enough . oh and a 3/8 fuel line will be fine for what you need. and remember its not fuel pressure you should be hugly concerned about as you mainly need fuel flow @ wot as a lean mixture due to lack of flow is not good . no point having great pressure but no flow when you need it the most.
hope that helps somewhat.
good luck bud
electric fuel pumps on carburetors
Check out the different electric fuel pumps Holley has. http://www.holley.com/data/products/...lPumpchart.pdf. Me personally, I wouldn't use nothing under a 12-150 with -8an fuel supply line. I have the pump and regulator and -8an supply line installed but thinking of installing a return line to the tank. I also have one of these Billet pumps that I won from an online contest Holley was having. I don't have the regulator or filters for it. http://www.holley.com/data/Products/...R10569rev4.pdf
|Experiment!! Your carb might like less.
|ok thanking you lots should i set it at 6psi for the regulator or lower?
|On second thought. First try a good regulator then if needed tie in a return line. Use a stee tubing line though if you do.
|if it hasnt got a return line already there how would i go about making one? does it have to be steel lines or could i just buy a long fuel hose and use that?
|Put a regulator on it with a return to the tank. Your carb would like 6 lbs. maximum for pressure.
electric fuel pumps on carburator?
is it ok to use electric fuel pumps on a carburator? i have a 9psi electric fuel pump which runs when the keys on, but my carb drips petrol when sitting is it because the fuel pump is constantly pushing fuel into the carby even when its full and theres no return line for the excess fuel.
is it better to get a mechanical fuel pump and disconnect the electric one or not?
its a ford 460 with a 750holley carburator in an xj6 jaguar
could someone give me some ideas on what to do or if its fine as it is? car runs fine jst not sure if its bad for me to have an electrical fuel pump

You tried downloading the drivers for it? (Slackware Drivers if OS-Specific)
And then installing them? Some hardware needs to be manually installed.
Same with nVidia drivers, even though there already is one, installing the
latest Linux driver will make it work somehow better if you are using it to
f.ex. play games on.
(yeah i play Battlefield on my BackTrack ocasionally xD )

text: I'm in need of advice on a perplexing (for me anyway) problem. I have a lightly used older model m60 and on occasion when the cylinder is closed it will spin clockwise freely as if the hammer were half back and will not lock up. if spun counterclockwise it locks up immediately. Firing of the weapon seems to be normal and once the cylinder is turned counterclockwise it locks up normally and functions properly. An individual on another forum indicated this was normal but i have owned many S&W revolvers and have never observed this before. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|Yeah, I have read that one start to finish, just thought he meant there was yet another one. My old Snap On stuff is great, but some of the newer stuff is not worth the price, IMHO.
cheap tools or high buck
The problem that I have is, I thought the tools I had would last, but now I'm starting to out live them. They were not used for my main job, but they made me money or happy, working at home, I still go to the shop everyday, all day, most of the time. Now I have more than one of every size socket or wrench but if one wears out I sure don't want to replace it, old age , bummer
Here's the link to the thread...
6 pages worth so far.....
|Since I have said so much about Snap-On in this post and others I think I should make it clear that I have no experience with Snap-On tools less than 10 years old and most are much older than that. As much as I like Snap-On and the things I have seen them do and survive I can't help but wonder about the wisdom of sinking that kind of money in them today. As the old saying goes "where there is smoke there must be fire" Snap-On quality seems like maybe it has slipped a bit and the kind of service, or lack of, that we keep hearing about was never a problem years ago. As good as they are/were I would not buy them if there was a question about getting a replacement because like anything else they will break and wear out if used and/or abused enough.
cheap tools vs high buck
cheap tools vs high buck
I would have to look for it I think it was posted as I hate snap-on tools Or why I won't buy snap-on tools. It should not be that hard to find I don't think there were a few pages on it. A lot of it I think were guys that had bought snap-on and like you said they try to replace broken or damaged tools they can't get a hold of the dealer and they call the main co. and are told that it's up to the dealer weather they get replaced or not . They also were complaining that when they did get the dealer to replace it , it would take days and when they got it , it would be one that was rebuilt , and not a new one. The way it sounded snap-on was not the only truck salesman that were doing this. If you used a lot of snap-on tools, it sounds like you know what I mean. I have a few but not many, but then again I did not make aliving off those type of tools , as I ran a machine shop. I did, in my opinion have the best mics and measuring tools money could buy, but when you are a grade one shop and working with .0002 on every part you have to have good tools. I have your name I will look for the post.
Hey, 35, can you post a link to that discussion? I would be interested to read it. I have used Snap On tools for years, but have many brands in my box. For some items, there is no substitute for the Snap On. However, on others, what Snap On wants for their product is ridiculous. The quality and finish on some of their tools has deteriorated over the years, but the price has not fallen accordingly. When I spend $50 on a 9/16" combination wrench, and it breaks in any fashion, it had better be replaced. NQA.
Also, warrenty replacement has become way mor difficult. I used to be able to exchange a wrench/socket if the finish had peeled off (did this more than once, as those chrome shards will carve the crap out of your hands!). Now, no such luck.
cheap tools vs highbuck
I was trying to give the short version, but I guess it will take the longer one.
!st off we broke a total of 6 sockets, I started by saying I was buying craftsman because I lived it the country and never saw a snap-on guy or any-one else that sold tools so that is what I had Good or bad. I also was 12 years old and I don't know of a lot of kids that tools are at the top of their wish list at 12, I was also working in a junk yard that was back in the woods, my job, cutting up what could have been future street rods, the year was 1956.
I was 15 or16 can't remember and don't care, a friend of mine called me up on a Sunday and told me to bring some tools mainly my socket set, he told me he needed the half inch drive, well I didn't have a lot of those sockets, I didn't have a lot of money and I couldn't afford a whole set at once so I got what I needed. He needed the one for the nut on the wishbone, I get over to his house and ask him where his socket was. Now this kid had more money than the 5 or 6 of us that hung around together had combined. He had all snap-on tools, he would get them at a gas station where the salesman stopped by his house, ( and for you younger guys they used to be service stations.) anyhow he told me he had broke it trying to get that nut loose, well we went on to break mine and two others that we got from sears, they ran out or we might have broke more, plus we broke the snap-on breaker bar.
Monday he got a new socket and breaker bar, broke that one and one other.
Now you have to remember 15 years old, yes it was a great misuse of tools but at 15 that does not come into play, it is the last thing you would think of, it between you and that nut now, you could care less about the breaking of sockets, breaker bars or anything else, we are going to get her off. We would of kept it up until one of the older guys stopped by and said have you tried heating it up, what do you know it came loose (with a snap-on socket only because the sears store hadn't got any in yet).
Out where I am now it's a long way to any tool store and over the last 54 years I have gotten tools from about every maker except the real cheap ones. in those years I have turned two ratchets in for replacement just in the last couple of years both snap-on and they are not the ones I use most of the time, and the one they would only give me a rebuilt one not a new one. No I don't think snap-on are the best except in cost. There is a forum running now on what people think of snap-on but don't go there if you have a weak heart.

|As I have said before it is not how good a warranty is it is how often you need it that counts. Craftsman may be very good about replacing a tool but that don't mean squat if you are trying to make a living with them, there are not many jobs that will let you just stop what you are doing and trot down to the local Sears for a replacement! THAT'S what matters and if you break a half dozen Sears sockets and they replace all of them with no complaint that's fine but they STILL broke so what do you do until you can get a replacement? I know a Snap-On socket will break if abused enough but you will break a bucket full of Craftsman to every one Snap-On, I have seen it tried. The new guys would seem to always go to Sears to get started but when they found themselves trying to barrow a tool to finish a job it did not take long for them to see the light. Sure Snap-On will fail under the right circumstances but they will take abuse that Craftsman would never survive. Like I said that "good warranty" don't mean squat when you are out in the field and need to get that thing going and trying to explain to the job supervisor just what the hold up is, I know I have been there!
cheap tools vs high buck
Well I guess you didn't read my post very well, I was 12 when that happened, and yes we had cars back then at 12, the law said you couldn't drive them on a public road, not that you couldn't own them. I didn't live in town , and I worked in a junk yard. When I was 12 anew car was a 1956 whatever. At 12 if they said I could get a new tool if something went wrong with it, or at 66 years old and I got some thing 30 years ago, with the understanding that if something goes wrong or it breaks and nothing was said about miss use your dam right I will trade it for a new one. That store or company never felt bad when they took my money and gave me the warranty, so why should I feel bad about trading one in for a new one. I'm not the dumb one here I didn't make up the warranty to start with they did, and they must have known that they were going to be misused to start with.
That was suppose to be a joke anyhow, since turning in those sockets and finding out a nut will come loose with a little heat first, in the last 54 years I have turned in two ratchets.
As far as cars and there warranties, they are just a selling tool, you know as well as I do, if you go out and buy a GT mustang or HEMI. challenger 99'9% of the people that buy one are going to put their foot in it sooner or later. I really don't think turning tools in or breaking cars by misuse are causing the Co. to use cheaper material, they would rather send them off shore so they can get them made cheaper, bring them back and sell them for the same, and put more money in their pockets.
They are having a forum right now on this site about tools and how they can't get them replaced when they just go bad ,and I'm talking snap-on and the high buck tools. So I guess if you can say you have never since the age of 12, misused anything you are in the top .1% and more than likely own one of the stores or companies that sell some thing that has a warranty.

I've had to abuse a few tools,but they for the most part held up,now i wouldn't take a 10# sledge hammer and hit a ratchet to try and break something loose with it,but i HAVE had my foot on a few wrenches and ratchets trying to break something loose though.
As far as companies loosing their arse on people returning them?..bull...you know how much it actualy costs a manufacture to make one wrench or ratchet?...in the pennies,not the dollars...
If someone returned a 20 year old tool that broke,then that tool done great,but thats what he paid that extra money for wasn;t it?..the no questions asked LIFETIME warranty.
The problem is these "over the pond" cheap slave labor are producing pretty decent tools for the little price,not the customers returning on a gaurantee they paid for a high quality tool.
So the problem lies in the company taking shortcuts and using less quality materials and processes to try and keep their cost down to compete with slave labor over seas..NOT because i returned that craftsmen ratchet i bought 30+ years ago when i was a teenager.
That's another subject that gets me hot headed,all these companies are having their products made over seas where even little kids are slaved,beaten if they don't perform,or worse yet are murdered...to me thats like we are supporting communizim.....
I don't care WHAT higher quality tool you buy now a days,the quality of them now are what those same companies 20 years ago would of NEVER let that tool leave the building for sales..it would of been scrap......
Think of your tools as your car, sure you have a 10 year 100000 thousand mile warranty on the power train. It should be replaced if it fails right? but if your winding out that little neon to 8k rpm and pop a piston through the side of a block, is it chryslers obligation that that they should replace it?
People have to remeber companys still have to make money, and its getting to the point where people are inheriting tool sets from grandparents, or buying them from yard sales more than they are getting them from the company. Then when that person breaks the tool and gets it replaced under the life time warranty, isnt that company losing that much money on a 20 some od year old tool? I believe this is one of the many reasons why most companys are making cheap tools more expensive and more expensive tools out of cheaper materials. They need to make up the slack from somewhere because everyones starting to cash in their second hand freeby tools for a brand new replacement.
I would not be surprised if in the near future tool companys required an original owner reciept to get a tool repaired or replaced if they want to stay in buisness.
high buck tools vs cheap tools
I have never had to use tools for a living, that is I never needed large amounts of tools at work. I was in a machine shop and all I needed was a pencil at first, then computers. But I had the best you could buy as far as Mics. went. But I did have a lot at home for my hobby cars, body tools, air tools, mech. tools, and tools for wiring , strippers, crimper's, wire tie guns, some of the wire ing tools would cost a couple hundred or more. A lot of the wrenches I had were craftsman which I first started buying when I was 12. I never had any problem with anyone of them, except one socket, every time we tried to loosen the wishbone nut we would break the socket, we would run over to sears and they would replace it, sometimes we would break 3 or 4 in one day we used breaker bar boy those nuts were tight. I often wondered if it was the ten foot pipe we put on the breaker bar?

I live in Salt Lake City UT USA and have been producing music for about 10 years now. Its my life's passion and I'm very grateful to be able to make money with it.
A little shameless vanity: My music has been played on ABC, MTV, TLC, HBO, TNT, OWN and other networks, as well as used by hundreds of corporations, commercials and trailers.
VideoHive Artists! Your free to use any of my tracks, just let me know and I'll paste a link to the video you use it in.
Again thank you so much for stopping by, your the reason I get to do what I love!...even if you don't use anything today, hopefully you'll be back

Over the past fifteen years, Internet technology has significantly changed the landscape of public health surveillance and epidemic intelligence gathering. Disease and outbreak data is disseminated not only through formal online announcements by government agencies, but also through informal channels such as social networking sites, blogs, chat rooms, Web searches, local news media and crowdsourcing platforms. Dr. Brownstein discusses the current capabilities and future directions in the use of the non-traditional data sources for the purposes of public health surveillance and rapid detection of emerging infectious diseases.

Happy Birthday, GNU/Linux
Sixteen years ago today, Linus Torvalds uploaded the Linux kernel 0.0.1 to the internet. He made the source code freely available to anyone interested in improving on it.
In some states, GNU/Linux is old enough to drive. In some Southern states, it's old enough to marry its cousin.
To say that it has grown up quickly would be an understatement.
Getnix.com has created a place where you can personally thank Linus Torvalds, or Richard Stallman, or all of the Linux kernel developers for bringing GNU/Linux to the point where it is today. More importantly, you can also take the time to share with the world how and why you started using your Linux based OS.
On this day — Sept. 17 — every year, Getnix.com will be challenging you to take Linux with you into your everyday life. Wear a shirt, slap a sticker on something, wear a hat or button. Hand out Live CDs with your favorite flavor of Linux on top.
And make sure that all the candles are blown out.
