I don't know what to make of this dispute. The records as well as many living memories from 1982-1983 suggest that both Ms. Jenkins and Mr. Dunn, though disagreeing with one another, are also both mistaken. On the one hand, extensive evidence shows that as late as 1910 or so a Masonic lodge for African Americans did exist at Rosewood, though it may have been in disuse by 1923--the community attacked in 1923 had sharply declined.

Truck Driver Duo Deliver Baby Boy
ALEXANDRIA, VI — On Nov. 30, 2013, two professional truck drivers helped deliver a baby at a Denny's restaurant, likely saving the boy's life.
"I'm so humbled by this experience, and so grateful that God chose me to help bring a new life into this world. It happened so fast… there was no possible way an ambulance could have gotten there in time," says Fredrick Robatcek, a truck driver for OK-based FTC Transportation.
It was a little after 5:00 a.m. when Peter Holland, from Waterdown ON stopped at a Denny's in Texas for a coffee. The Challenger Motor Freight driver was on his way to Mexico and was preparing his morning cup o' Joe before hitting the road again when a pregnant woman and her sister walked in.
A little while away, Robatcek of Sauk Rapids, MN was eating breakfast.
Everything changed when the woman, who was two weeks overdue, in labor and on her way to the hospital screamed in agony.
Robatcek and Holland rushed over just in time to see that the baby was already on its way.
They laid the woman down onto the carpet and as the baby moved a bit more, realized the umbilical cord was wrapped around the baby's neck.
Robatcek was on the phone with 911. Meanwhile, Holland unwrapped the umbilical cord from the baby's neck so he could breathe. The baby boy was born at 10 lb. 4 oz. in Denny's. He was cleaned off by the two professional truck drivers and paramedics cut the umbilical cord when they arrived at the scene.
"Thanks for being there, and not leaving one minute before or one minute after," the mother told a local newspaper. "Thank you for saving my baby's life."
Holland recalls how the baby took a big gasp as he came out and then grabbed Holland's little finger.
"It wasn't until I got back in my truck and was headed toward Mexico that I realized… I just helped someone through a very difficult situation and delivered a healthy baby boy—and all before breakfast," he says.
It's a day neither of them will likely forget.
The Truckload Carriers Association named Robatcek and Holland Highway Angels and gave them Highway Angel lapel pins, certificates, and patches. FTC Transportation, Inc., and Challenger Motor Freight, of Cambridge, ON also received certificates acknowledging that their two drivers are Highway Angels.
Since the program started in August 1997, hundreds of drivers have been recognized as Highway Angels for the unusual kindness, courtesy, and courage they have shown others while on the job.
To nominate a driver or learn more about the program and its honorees, visit the Highway Angel web page or Facebook page. For additional information, contact TCA at (703) 838-1950 or email@example.com.

I love the beautiful patterns, high quality fabric and durability; my daughter loves that it's comfy. The relaxed fit and stretchy cuffs and collar help extend the wear period for a growing girl, too. Adorable plain or with a cardigan and leggings in colder temps.

My daughter wears a size 7. A few of her size 6 still fit and a few 7s are pretty big. Should we order size 6 or 8? Thanks.
My suggestion would be an 8. The Garnett hill clothing tends to run small and my daughter is very petite, but I have to order up a size.

The size 02 is 21 inches and the 04 is 23.5 inches long.

If you're wondering "how do I become a graphic designer?" you definitely are not alone. The area of graphic design is a thriving industry, and many people want to get involved in it in one way or another. Here are the basics of what you need to know about becoming a graphic designer.
What's it Like to Be a Graphic Designer?
Once you become a graphic designer, you will be able to express yourself creatively, and help people at the same time. Many graphic designers work in design studios for advertising agencies. Some are self-employed and work for their own clients. You'll spend a lot of time talking to clients about what they need, and then coming up with images and visuals. You may spend a great deal of time working on the computer with design programs. You may also have to revise graphics according to the specifics of the client.
Education Requirements
In order to become a graphic designer, you are going to need to meet the proper educational requirements along the way. Although it is not necessarily required to have a degree to become a graphic designer, it can definitely help. Getting a bachelors degree in graphic design or even a master's degree could help you get a job. Some other related degrees may also be helpful such as art or Web design. If you don't have a degree, there are also some technical programs that can show you the basics of graphic design.
Besides striving to get a degree, you should also consider taking some other courses that could help. For example, taking some business administration courses, marketing, and writing can be helpful for most graphic designers. You'll need to be able to market your services and work with customers to be successful in the industry.
In some cases, it can be difficult to get into a prestigious graphic design degree program. You may have to take basic art and general education classes for the first year until you can be admitted. This may require you to submit some sketches or designs so that you can be considered.
Getting Into the Field
After you have the education of the way, you can move on to become a graphic designer. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the average graphic designer makes about $49,000 per year. There are a lot of different types of design jobs that you could choose to get involved with, depending on your talents. For example, you could specialize in web design, focus on print media campaigns, business logo creation, or something more specific like creating the credits for movies.
The potential for graphic designers is good with an expectation of an increase of 13 percent in the industry through 2020. There are a lot of job openings out there for people who are qualified, and know how to work with others well.
If you want to become a graphic designer, you should apply with multiple agencies. You may also want to enter some design contests online to show off your abilities. Creating your own portfolio website is also a good idea, so that others can see what you can do. Keep your eyes open, and the right opportunity may fall into your lap.

Education, District Consolidation Discussions Planned For Town Meeting
02/28/11 7:34AM By Susan Keese
| Download MP3
(Host) Hard economic times, shrinking student populations and rising costs have put pressure on school districts to merge and consolidate.
Only one district actually has merger on the ballot.
But as VPR's Susan Keese reports, the prospect of restructuring education will be a topic of discussion at many town meetings.
(Keese) The five towns in the Addison Northwest Supervisory Union have been talking since 2003 about turning their separate school districts into one.
Tom O'Brien is the Addison Northwest Superintendent. He thinks the merger could help save the area's small local schools.
(O'Brien) "What it does is reduce the number of times we do any given thing like payroll or audits or budgets."
(Keese) But the issue has been emotional, and O'Brien says he wouldn't be surprised to see another recall vote this year, which happened last year. That's despite the fact that the Legislature added a new incentive last year to encourage such economies of scale - a four-year reduction in homestead taxes.
The law will also assure that merger possibilities are discussed in many towns this year. It required all 60 supervisory unions to consider the benefits and challenges of mergers and report to the state whether they wanted to go forward.
Winton Goodrich is with the Vermont State School Boards Association. He says half of the state's supervisory unions have opted to seriously study the issue.
(Goodrich) "It's purely a voluntary merger legislation. The decision gets left to local voters. That's what's different from what I've heard over the past decade."
(Keese) The law also promises districts that restructure that no local schools will be closed for at least four years after a merger agreement is signed.
But some schools are feeling pressure from the state. When the tiny Battenkill Valley Supervisory Union in Arlington and Sandgate lost its superintendent last year, Education Commissioner Armando Vilaseca exercised a little-used option.
He allowed the union to hire an interim superintendent and gave the schools a spring 2011 deadline to decide between merging with larger supervisory unions to the north or to the south.
Todd Wilkens chairs the Arlington School Board.
(Wilkins) "In our opinion that's an extremely unfair time frame to give us to do a study. And also to us he's limited our choices because he hasn't done a study himself to say that those are our best options."
(Keese) Two other supervisory unions, Rutland Windsor and Washington South, are in similar situations.
For VPR News, I'm Susan Keese.

French flair: Peugeot's version of the van trio is called the Traveller and it might end up in Australian showrooms.
11 February 2016
By TIM NICHOLSON
PSA Peugeot Citroen has detailed its van project that was co-developed with
Toyota ahead of its official debut at the Geneva motor show this month, and the
load-lugger is under consideration for the Australian market.
In Europe, the trio will be sold as a Peugeot Traveller, Citroen Spacetourer
and a Toyota Proace from the first half of 2016, shortly after their Geneva
While Toyota Australia has ruled out introducing the Proace Down Under, saying
they have "no plans to augment our already broad van line-up in Australia",
Peugeot and Citroen distributor Sime Darby Motors Group said that both versions
"are currently being studied for potential Australian introduction".
So far the three car-makers have shown images of the passenger van version, but
there will also be light-commercial vehicle, shuttle and 'combi' variants down
the track.
Early last year Sime Darby announced it had discontinued sales of its Peugeot
commercial van range that included the Partner light van and the Expert
mid-sizer, leaving Citroen with the sole offering in the form of its Berlingo.
At the time, the company said the focus of the Peugeot brand and its network
was more on retail and less on commercial vehicle customers, which would
require significant investment to implement at a dealer level.
It is unclear if Sime Darby would introduce both models or choose one, but if
the focus has shifted away from commercial vans under Peugeot, then it could
arrive wearing Citroen badges.
It is not the first time the French firm has teamed up with the Japanese
automotive giant. In 2014 the three brands launched their own versions of the
same tiny city car that was marketed in Europe as the Citroen C1, Peugeot 108
and the Toyota Aygo.
European-spec vans from the three brands will share powertrains, of which there
are five diesel BlueHDi units ranging in power from 70kW to 132kW.
It is built on a version of the EMP2 platform that underpins the Peugeot 308
and Citroen Grand C4 Picasso and will be available in standard or
long-wheelbase guise, with three choices for overall length including the XS
(4600mm), M (4950mm) and XL (5300mm).
Depending on the variant, luggage space ranges from 1978 litres to 1932L with
five seats in place and upright.
Inside there is seating for up to nine people and a number of storage
compartments, while new tech to the segment includes hands-free side door
opening with a wave of the foot under the corner of the rear bumper. The
sliding side doors are motorised and the rear window opens for easy access.
Depending on specification levels, the vans will feature a 7.0-inch tablet,
housing multimedia functions, Apple CarPlay and MirrorLink connectivity, a
head-up display, park assist, a smart beam headlight function and a 3D Connect
Nav system.
Available active safety kit includes lane-departure warning, blind-spot
monitoring, road-sign recognition, driver fatigue alert, active cruise control
and a collision alert system.
PSA Peugeot Citroen head of programme and strategy Patrice Lucas said the
co-development with Toyota has helped create a competitive offering in the van
"We are delighted to present today these three new vehicles, the result of the
co-operation with Toyota Motor Europe," he said. "This agreement has enabled us
to develop a new and efficient vehicle platform, offering our customers around
the world modern products which are particularly competitive in their segment."
All three versions will be built at PSA Peugeot Citroen's plant of Sevelnord,
in Valenciennes, France.

Eric Pickles
Henry Lancaster
Permitted Development Right
Commercial Property Use
The coalition government is looking to relax planning restrictions that govern the conversion of offices into buildings which will eventually have a residential purpose, according to Henry Lancaster, a senior investment analyst at Coutts.Eric Pickles, the communities secretary, made the proposals as part of the government's plan to get the economy back on track through a myriad of ways. Mr Pickles is looking to develop the law surrounding Permitted Development Rights, which will make it easier for commercial property to be developed.The significance here is that it will be easier for such projects to receive the green light without the need for planning permission from local authorities, which can be a protracted affair.Mr Lancaster said that that the benefit to the commercial property market would be notable, as it would boost the supply of housing. Equally, there will be greater market liquidity through the "conversion of redundant offices to profitable use"."Real rents (adjusted for inflation) on residential property have gone up 80 per cent in the past 25 years, while commercial property rents have only kept pace with inflation over that same time period," he told Bdaily when discussing the importance of such conversions."Residential property prices have also outpaced commercial property over the past 50 years, yet planning restrictions mean that there are persistently higher levels of vacancies in commercial than residential property. If conversions to residential use were to absorb surplus commercial property, then the long underperformance of commercial property could reverse."The main challenge facing further conversion of such buildings is the fact that following the financial crash of 2008, there is still a "dearth of capital", Mr Lancaster was keen to point out. Appetite for new investment therefore, is restrained to say the least.However, the outlook looks relatively positive. For example, his comments come on the back of news property consultants D&P Holt, which stated that the recovery of the UK manufacturing sector has been well received by the commercial property sector.

FLORENCE, S.C. – Francis Marion University will open its 2011 softball season this weekend with four games at the Early Bird Tournament in Aiken at Citizens Park.
On Saturday (Feb. 5), the Patriots will play Chowan University at noon and Erskine College at 2 p.m. FMU will also play twice on Sunday (Feb. 6) against Barton College at noon and the University of Charleston (WV) at 2 p.m.
The Patriots will play their home opener on Feb. 13 against Lenoir-Rhyne University at 1 p.m. on the FMU Softball Field. The Patriots' 52-game schedule includes nine home doubleheaders and the annual Patriot Invitational Tournament and the Peach Belt Conference Tournament, both to be hosted at the Freedom Florence Softball Complex.
Seventh-year FMU head coach Stacey Vallee welcomes back nine letterwinners, including five position starters, and one starting pitcher, from the 2010 squad that finished 36-16 and earned the program's second NCAA Division II National Tournament invitation in three seasons. The Patriots advanced to the championship game of both the Peach Belt Conference Tournament and the NCAA Dahlonega Southeast Regional.
Leading the returnees is All-Region outfielder Chelle Phillips (.349, 47 runs, 2 HRs, 31 RBI), All-Conference second baseman Ashley Jaramillo (.323, 5 HRs, 43 RBI), and All-PBC centerfielder Destinea Schneider (.350, 11-15 SBs). Phillips was also recently named to the preseason All-PBC squad.
Senior right-hander Cea Knox returns on the mound. In 23 contests last season, Knox was 14-6 with a 3.33 earned run average. Sophomore lefty Murphy McConnell, who appeared in four games last season, also returns from last year's pitching staff.
However, the Patriots must replace career record-setting lefty pitcher and designated hitter Michaela Wolf and four-year standouts Jessica Birchmeier (LF) and Kat Beauvais (3B). Wolf, a four-time 20-game winner, left owning nearly every Patriot pitching mark. Vallee knows that filling that void will not be easy.
"No one player is going to replace Michaela. What we must do as team is replace her numbers. That includes wins and innings on the mound and key hits at the plate. And, this means every spot in the line-up. We return a good core of starters and several newcomers who will step in and contribute immediately."
Shortstop Jessica Hogan is back for her senior season after starting 50 of 52 games in 2010. Sophomore Olivia Ferguson returns behind the plate after a productive freshman campaign that saw her bat .260 with a .367 on-base percentage while starting all but one contest. Sophomore outfielder Tristan Faile returns, but will likely move to the infield – possibly third base. Faile's freshman year – during which she hit .286 – was cut short by an injury after 15 games.
Phillips, who ranked 89th nationally in runs scored per game (0.90) last year, will likely move from right to left field. Sophomore Ashleigh Sammut, a transfer from the University of Mobile that attended FMU last season but sat out, will patrol right field.
Sammut is one of 12 newcomers, a group that consists of nine freshmen and three transfers.
Junior Megann Sallinger, a transfer from Gulf Coast Community College, will be the probable starter at first base, while local product Carson Summersett (West Florence High School) may open the year at the designated hitter position.
Among the other newcomers most likely to contribute to the Patriot attack early this season are freshmen outfielders Brooke Barnhill (Mauldin, SC) and Olivia Zielinski (Greenville, SC) and freshmen infielders Lindsey Brown (Concord, NC) and Sara Broderick (Sunrise, FL).
Vallee hinted that either Knox or junior righty Kayla Ellingsen would start on the mound for Saturday's season opener. Ellingsen recorded a 19-8 mark with a 2.30 ERA last season at the State College of Florida, while also logging an impressive 210 innings.
"We are anxious to get the season started," Vallee said. We are ready to face someone else's pitcher instead of playing amongst ourselves. It will be exciting to see how this incoming class can mesh with the returnees and form a cohesive group that we hope will battle for the Peach Belt title and a berth in the NCAA Tournament."
Knox, Ferguson, and Faile were among six players from last year's squad to earn NFCA All-America Scholar-Athlete recognition in 2010, and the Patriots received an NFCA All-Academic Team award for 2010, the fifth consecutive year FMU has earned that honor (and seventh time in the past 11 years).
Francis Marion has won at least 30 games in 12 of the last 14 season.

I want my King-Sized Snickers!
On Monday I sauntered over to the grocery store. In the midst of picking up the usual necessities for the week, I also caught a pretty heavy sweet tooth. I found myself confused in the candy aisle, however, when I didn't see the king-sized versions of my favorite chocolate bars. Interestingly enough, Reason published a relevant article today by Greg Beato:
In 1998, a Colorado handyman was snowmobiling in the mountains outside of Steamboat Springs when he got swept up in an avalanche that buried his vehicle and left him stranded in a blizzard. Provisioned with nothing more than two butane lighters and a Snickers bar, the man endured 40 mph winds and near-zero temperatures for five days and four nights as rescue teams struggled to locate him. Luckily, the Snickers bar he'd carried was the king-sized version. Every one of its 510 calories helped him persevere through the course of his ordeal.
In the future, anyone caught in similar circumstances better hope for a faster search and rescue team. Mars Inc., the manufacturer of Snickers and many other convenience store treats, has decided to phase out chocolate products that exceed 250 calories per portion. By the end of 2013, consumers will no longer be able to purchase king-sized Snickers bars. Instead, they'll have to make do with a product that Mars introduced in 2009, Snickers 2 To Go, which features two 220-calorie bars in a single "resealable" wrapper. In addition, Mars will also need to reduce the size of a standard Snickers bar. It currently contains 280 calories and thus exceeds the new calorie cap by 12 percent.
Mars is implementing the 250-calorie threshold as part of an agreement with Partnership for a Healthier America (PHA), a non-profit organization that aims to "broker meaningful commitments" from commercial food manufacturers like Mars to "end childhood obesity." PHA was founded in 2010 in conjunction with the Let's Move! program, First Lady Michelle Obama's federally funded government initiative that aims to shape up the nation's tubby youth through a vigorous regimen of legislation, regulation, and mass jumping jacks. Mrs. Obama serves as PHA's honorary chair, and according to its website, PHA's mandate is to "monitor and publicly report on the progress" of its private-sector partners like Mars, and, more generally, to "make the healthy choice the easy choice."
This is ridiculous on so many levels. My main beef with this paternalist approach is that market demand will bring about change much more effectively and efficiently than the government.
Just look at the all-natural/organic food market. You don't have to patron Whole Foods or any other incumbent organic grocer to avoid artificial ingredients in your diet anymore. But why? People started demanding 'real food' in increasing numbers, and businesses like Publix, Kroger, Target, Wal-Mart, and Costco met the demands of their customers. The end results are greater supply, choice, and variety that bring about cost-effective pricing mechanisms. It's a pretty simple concept – one that benefits us all.
As far as the candy bars are concerned, consumers still have options. Buy less candy, don't eat the entire king-sized bar in one sitting (hey, the freezer is there for a reason!), try a piece of fruit, etc. When consumers alter their behavior in the market place, those on the supply side will inevitably adapt to meet the demands of their customers. If they don't adjust to the new landscape, competitors will step in and seize their market share. It's all about incentives.
Just to put the icing on my grocery store cake, the cashier asked for my ID because I had lighters amongst my purchases. No booze, no smokes, just a pack of lighters.

C20 vs LG 50PA5500 simplink/CEC issue
Hi All,
Please help me the following issue. I don't wanna open a TAC case for this...
So Our Customer has a Cisco C20 (tc5.1.3) with 2 LG 50PA5500. The problem is that the codec could not switch off the television after you goes stand by, you just only get the blank screen for 3 seconds and after get the "no signal" LG magic cube or what :-)
After 10 or 15 minutes i don't know exactly the TV goes switch off. I think this is a factory settings and I could not modify this time setting :-(
Codec/TV settings:
I set the HDMI CEC: on both outputs in the codec.
I set the simplink ON in the TVs.
The switch on is works correctly, If you switch off the TV manually with remote control the Cisco is able to wake up the TV. So this way is works correctly but the switch off is no.
The question is that will be any solution in the next tc release (6.0) for this LG issue or not?
Please advise,
An other good point to search is the bug toolkit:
I briefly looked but did not find something which would fit your issue.
Neither in the TC5 release notes I did not find anything corresponding to this issue.
But what did LG say besides "try a new firmware".
I had red things about monitors where the pc port or disabled overscan disabled cec, ...
With integration issues its always the trouble even to find out who is the misbehaving one.
Is the C20 the only connected system? I would disconnect everything else and try a different
input port.
Unless you get a better answer I would recommend is to escalate this case
as a service request towards Cisco TAC.
Balázs: Please rate the answers!

Sadly it all depends on what happened beyond the bearing failure. The pistons could've scratched the cylinder walls, the rods could be "blued" (it looks more purple than blue on my personal experience), and the crank could be damaged. So, like previously mentioned. You won't know whats broke and needs fixed until its opened up and pulled apart.
As far as what is the most simple to put back in. That would be the same engine. Unless you want to modify some bits to make them work or putting some of the engines in that you listed would be a lot of electrical changes and a ECU swap.
Okay...What about the transmission,would I need to change it if am going for an Ej255?
Thanks alot by the way
The EJ205 uses a 16-bit ECU and a DBC system and a bunch of other fundamental differences in control compared to the EJ255/EJ257. The most common engine upgrade for the EJ205 powered cars is to make a "hybrid" motor by taking the 2.5L shortblock and re-using the EJ205 heads entirely. The ECU can be retuned to account for the change in displacement and the stock EJ205 heads actually flow pretty well. This is far FAR less painful than trying to shoehorn in a different motor. Not that it can't be done, but it usually requires a standalone EM solution and someone who really understands that particular wiring harness intimately. There are numerous folks who swap in JDM EJ207 engines of various types. That's technically more complicated than the hybrid setup.
No...there is no reason to change your transmission unless you're looking to add big power and tq after its running. Even then you can just upgrade the 5 spd gears to handle the extra power.
Sadly, after opening it up you'll likely come to the conclusion that you need a new engine anyways. If there are gold flakes in your oil. Which I'd assume there is if you truely spun a bearing. Then you should consider a new oil pan, pump, and oil assembly. Unless you want to either: clean out the old with a very fine tooth comb (meaning get it very very very clean) and hope you don't run bearing shavings through your new engine and your current turbo or just swap out the oil system to know its clean. Which also brings up the fact that it wouldn't hurt to get your turbo and your heads inspected on the current engine. Unless you're getting a new longblock engine. See how big of a pain in the arse this can get?
It really hurts by the way when something goes wrong in the engine as a fault not due to missuse.I guess am going for a new long block engine and keeping the old one for spare parts but am kind of considering a hybrid but I need to gather more info to do right and proper.
Okay,does a hybrid engine have any drawbacks?
Does it require a lot of work to Change he block or is it complicated?
And can you explain "The ECU can be retuned to account for the change in displacement and the stock EJ205 heads actually flow pretty well." further?

I have personally changed my oil pan gasket about two weeks ago.
It is a pain in the butt but i figured where it was leaking oil. It was from the oil filter flange gasket which is on the driver side. I took me about 3 days because i had school and also because it was such a tidious work. The engine has to be lifted thats for sure and you might want to take out your rack and pinon out to have some space under there..In the end i think i had done wise decision because the rubber on the gasket was real stiff and was about to go out the door already. Tell me what you need to know ill guide you.

A different font size for each line in PlotLabel
Does anyone know how to use two fonts in a PlotLabel, where the title
spans two lines. For example:
BarChart[{1, 2, 3}, PlotLabel -> "Title" <> "\n" <> "Subtitle"]
The above produces a graph where the Title and Subtitle are on
different lines and are the same FontSize.
I would like "Title" to be FontSize -> 20 and "Subtitle" to be
FontSize -> 10 (and to remain on different lines).
If I use the below I get an error because "Title" is no longer a
BarChart[{1, 2, 3}, PlotLabel -> StyleForm["Title", FontSize -> 20] <>
"\n" <> "Subtitle"]
But then if I use ToString, the FontSize goes back to default size:
BarChart[{1, 2, 3}, PlotLabel -> ToString[StyleForm["Title", FontSize -
> 20]] <> "\n" <> "Subtitle"]
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Ozarks leaps into top tier; third best value
Release Date: 8/20/1999
CLARKSVILLE, Ark. --- The University of the Ozarks moved into the top tier of Best Regional Liberal Arts Colleges in the South and was named the third best value among Regional Liberal Arts Colleges in the South by U.S. News & World Report in its year 2000 guide to colleges and universities.
In its annual America's Best Colleges edition, which is scheduled to hit the newsstands on Monday, U.S. News & World Report ranked more than 1,400 schools based on such criteria as academic reputation, graduation and retention rates, faculty resources, student selectivity, financial resources and alumni giving.
In the Best Regional Liberal Arts Colleges category, Ozarks was tied for 21st with Flagler College in Florida and Mississippi University for Women in the 32-school top tier. Ozarks was in the second tier in last year's rankings.
In the Best Values category, Ozarks ranked third in the south behind Lyon College in Batesville, Ark., and Claflin College in South Carolina. The value rankings relate the cost of attending a college or university to its quality, according to the magazine's ranking system. Ozarks' 1999-2000 tuition cost of $4,145 per semester is almost one-half of the national average for a private, liberal arts university.
"This ranking places us in the top tier of liberal arts universities in the south, and we appreciate the recognition," said Ozarks President Dr. Rick Niece. "We are among the best in the quality of education we offer students and, as the oldest university in Arkansas, we offer that education in the best tradition. U.S. News & World Report also ranks University of the Ozarks as number three in best values in the southern region. Our quality and value are hard to beat."
Ozarks was the recipient of a $39.5 million challenge gift --- the largest ever given to a private university in Arkansas --- in October from the Walton Family Charitable Support Foundation. The gift kicked off a five-year, $55-million campaign to strengthen academic programs, student services and facilities at the four-year, liberal arts school.
According to a news release faxed by U.S. News & World Report, Ozarks was one of four Arkansas private colleges ranked in the top tier of Best Regional Liberal Arts Colleges, joining Lyon College, John Brown University and Ouachita Baptist University.
"Four private schools in Arkansas are ranked as top tier regional institutions and those rankings say a great deal about the merits of private university education in the state," Niece said. "We are providing an exceptional education, and our extremely high graduation rates and student retention rates reflect our students' success and satisfaction."

Students to present research and creative work during 10th Annual Undergraduate Research Symposium
Posted by Judy Korn on Friday, Apr. 9, 2010
University of Minnesota, Morris students will present their research and creative work during the 10th annual Undergraduate Research Symposium (URS) on Friday, April 23, 2010, on the Morris campus. The event celebrates student scholarship and informs the campus and the community about the diversity and the quality of student research and creative work in every discipline. The event is free and open to the public.
"The URS publicly celebrates the scholarship and creativity of UMM students," states Gordon McIntosh, professor of physics and 2010 URS Committee chair. "I consider the individual research and creative activities carried out by our students to be one of the highest achievements of their undergraduate careers."
An opening ceremony in the Humanities Fine Arts Recital Hall begins at 1 p.m. with an improv performance by the Unusual Suspects student organization. Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs and Dean Cheryl Contant will give welcome remarks at 1:30 p.m., and the featured presentation, A Prairie Cantata, begins at 1:50 p.m.
Composed by music major Mitch Grussing '10, Morris, A Prairie Cantata, is a multi-movement piece for a mixed, four-part choir and wind ensemble. "In collegiate music ensembles, compositions with environmental themes are seldom encountered, especially music and lyrics by local and regional artists," says Grussing. "Since UMM has devoted itself to providing a renewable and sustainable education, it now has a stronger connection to the surrounding environment than ever before, and this connection needs to be explored artistically as well as scientifically."
After opening activities, oral presentations by students will begin at 2:30 p.m. in Imholte Hall, and the poster session will be held from 5 until 7 p.m. in the Science Atrium.
Manjari Govada '12, Shakopee, a triple major in economics, math, and management, serves on the URS Committee and will present on the Truckers and Turnover research project. "This will be my second year presenting at the URS, and it's a great time!" shares Govada. "It presents me with a great opportunity to showcase my work to not only the faculty and staff, but also to my peers and friends. It provides real world experience of talking about my research and presenting it to people who are not familiar with the project. I believe that experiences such as the URS are what define a Morris education—by going above and beyond the classroom we are better prepared for our future endeavors."
Refreshments will be provided throughout the event. Visit the Web site for more information.

Léon Suys
Léon-Pierre Suys (French pronunciation: [leɔ̃ sɥis]; Dutch: [ˈsœys]; (14 June 1823, in Amsterdam – 5 May 1887, in Brussels-Ixelles), was a Belgian architect.
Suys's father Tilman-François Suys was the architect of King Leopold I, and the cofounder of the Belgian Royal Commission of Sites and Monuments, of which his friend François-Joseph Navez was also a member. Navez often used the young Léon as a model for his paintings, including Jeune garçon songeur (1831) and Léon Suys et ses deux sœurs.
Léon Suys was the author, in 1865, of the plans to cover and divert the Senne (Zenne) river in Brussels, a defining event in the history of the city. As part of this, he designed the modern courses of Brussels' central boulevards, and several monumental public buildings related to the project, including the Brussels Stock Exchange, the Great Central Halls (demolished in 1956), and the reconstruction of the Greater Sluice Gate at the south of the city.
He also designed the buildings of the thermal baths in Spa, Belgium, built between 1862 and 1868.
Suys is buried in Laeken Cemetery.

This week's episode features a shadowy UI Designer by the name of Jamis Charles, from a secretive organization located somewhere in Texas. Honestly, that's all we know about him. Cloak and daggers aside, he brought an intriguing challenge to the show.
Jamis, if that is his real name, asked,
Should link treatments vary for different methods of displaying content to the user? For example, on a single page I have several links. The first one takes me to another page when I click. The second shows a hidden layer with more content if I click. The third shows more content if I hover.
If these links should be styled differently, should the treatments be organized by type of content, or by the user interaction method?
Tune in to see how our hosts answer this challenge while our guest and his project maintain their anonymity. And to hear Robert wax nostalgic for a steak he once ate in Texas.
Have a serious UX question? Send it in and Jared Spool and Robert Hoekman, Jr. will answer it with a healthy dose of levity. Please send your deep, vexing questions to us at email@example.com. We'd love to feature you on the show! Till then, if your're in a situation like Jamis, let us know how you would handle it in the comments!Tweet

Kenya Details
Kenya has quite a range of enticements for its visitors. Safaris, beaches, mountains and a number of cultural attractions make this African country very alluring. This park delights visitors as they gaze upon wild animals such as giraffes, buffalos and cheetahs. Nature lovers will also want to take a short drive out of town to see the Thika waterfalls that are better known as Fourteen Falls. For the beach lovers, the island of Mombasa is often seen as paradise. Visitors can swim in the warm waters of the Indian Ocean and then take a rest on the white sand beaches that will inspire peace and relaxation. Golf lovers will appreciate the Vipingo Ridge Golf Resort. This area is known for its abundance of flamingo birds and is also a National Park. Many people also catch sight of leopards, zebras and lions while in this region, which is about a two hour trip from Nairobi.

Are You Really Prepared for the Upcoming Youth Sports Season?
Summer is almost over for most schools around the country with school sports and open amateur sports programs beginning across the United States. New sports season can often mean new coaches, supporting staff and new teammates.
As every parent prepares their young athlete for the new sports season, they get all the right equipment and make sure their children have everything they need to be successful for training and competition. Parents purchase the new team gear and may stock up on the latest trend in "energy" products to keep young athletes refreshed and hydrated in the field of play. Parents do as much as they can to ensure their children have whatever they needs to make the team, be successful at training and are in the best position they can be to win their races or contests.
As parent engage in this preparation, seldom do they consider the dark side of sports -- sexual abuse, bullying and harassment. If asked about the issue, most parents believe these are things they don't happen in their school or their children's youth sport program. At best, parents might say they've watched the latest educational video and know what to look for.
Even when parents have watched that video and feel educated about sexual abuse, bullying and harassment, when that behavior is right in front of them, they are at a loss with regard to what they should do, Without policies and procedures in place to address these issues, individuals who abuse our children continue operating in the sports system simply because there aren't mechanisms established to confront and penalize misconduct and ultimately to ban such individuals from continuing to work with our children.
When did the System Fail Kelley Davies Currin and the Rest of Us?
Today Rick Curl was sentenced for 7 years for the sexual abuse of Kelley Currin that happen almost 30 years ago. Rick has been a free man and participating in life like the rest of us for the past 30 years without any consequence for his actions of sexually abusing this minor swimmer at the time in question.
Why didn't something happen sooner? Something did happen. The family settled a confidential case with an undisclosed amount and a gag order was imposed to prevent anyone from discussing the case. Life was meant to go on as normal and all is good. After all Rick Curl was a good coach. He produced Olympians and successful swimmers throughout the collegiate system.
Is it Safer to Compete in Sports
This week the Cal Ripken Sr Foundation came together with NCMEC (National Center for Missing and Exploited Children) to discuss Safe to Compete and address sexual abuse in Sports.
What did we learn that would make sports a better place and a safe and positive environment for all athletes?
The highlight of the conference was that there seems to be a general consensus in the room; to unify background checks. There is a need to the fill the gaps to expose the abuser that continually beats the system and fall through the cracks because of inconsistencies across agencies that maintain felony files. Another issue that was raised is the ability to flag coaches/volunteers that had a sexual abuse charge dismissed that pertained to a minor. If a system can be put in place to install a more meaningful database that all people can draw from so we have a better chance of identifying abusers who have left organizations before suspension, termination or completion of investigations.
Another highlight was data around gender equity in sports leadership. In sports where the board of directors is 50/50 there is significantly less sexual abuse.
The low lights of the conference were the lack of knowledge about and sensitivity to sexual abuse in competitive sports. There seems to have been a misconception about the number of unprotected athletes that we are talking about-- there are 60 million young athletes in open amateur sport community-based multisport organizations.
What wasn't touched on or insufficiently addressed is the multiple levels of abuse that an athlete experiences, many of which are often justified in the guise of "sport" – abuse like physical punishment and verbal and emotional abuse. The problem became bigger as we realized that we don't understand why these commonly acceptable sport behaviors constitute abuse. With the growing number of women now in sports, this demographic is even more susceptible to all aspects of abuse especially sexual abuse and harassment. A study that came out of Japanese Olympic Committee found that 12% of Judo athlete complained about some sort of abuse or sexual harassment according to the BBC Sports. This number doesn't account for those don't feel safe to speak up or ones that don't know want abuse is.
In closing, on another low light is the imbalance of women in leadership roles as sports coaches as well as on the boards of leagues and associations.
We can make a difference today by adopting effective and thorough policies already available atSafe4Athletes.org/4-clubs . We need to know that the culture of abuse in sports will not be addressed through the court system which will handle only the most egregious cases. Each of us at the local program level must be protectors. This means we must educate our coaches, athletes and parents and we must adopt and enforce policies. We cannot wait for someone else to act.
Breaking Down Sexual Abuse in Sports
Since the Sandusky case we have all been made aware that sexual abuse of a young child by a coach is possible. Yet, more attention to the subject and types of sexual abuse in sports needs to be committed to addressing this topic and to developing an infrastructure that supports the needs of the athletes for a safe and positive environment in sports.
The world of sports is complex in regards to the coach-athlete relationship. Although a large proportion of US children participate in youth sport (40 Million), we do not give appropriate attention to analysis of the four differing types of sexual abuse in sports; pedophilia, sexual harassment, sexual abuse and athlete domestic violence.
$60 Million Later and We're Still Vulnerable
By Katherine Starr
The NCAA levied a $60 million sanction against Penn State University after reviewing the outcome of the Freeh report which identified the failures of the institution to protect the victims and putting the institution's needs above the law. Penn State was obligated to comply with child welfare laws and Title IX; it failed. Laws were in place. In the case of Title IX, the institution had required policies and procedures in place. The institution did all of the things it was supposed to do on paper and ultimately, but ultimately this was no more than "lip service" to its legal and ethical obligations. The lesson to be learned from Penn State is a pretty simple one. The organization reflects the values and ethics of its leadership. When a law like Title IX gets passed, whether it is the sexual harassment provisions of the law or its athletics participation requirements, if the institution does not embraces its purpose, educate its staff and make certain that all employees clearly understand their obligations – then Sandusky happens. No one in the formal leadership – presidents and senior administrators – or in the informal power club – Paterno, made it clear that compliance with the law was an expected zero tolerance obligation.
Safe4Athletes Appeal for Change
by Katherine Starr
Unlike athletes and students in schools and colleges who are protected by Title IX's sexual harassment and abuse provisions, athletes in open amateur sports are currently unprotected from coach or sport leader misconduct except by criminal law. While the United States Olympic Committee (USOC) has promulgated recommended policies, it does not require its national sport governing bodies (NGBs) nor the local organizations and coaches who are members of these championship conducting entities, to have such protections in place. Thus, children and adult participants in non-school youth sports programs nationwide are vulnerable to pedophiles and unethical coaches who use parent and athlete respect for their positions to manipulate their athletes to engage in inappropriate relationships and sexual exploitation.
Athlete/Parent Short Cuts Lead to Athlete Suffering in the Long Run
Training to be an elite athlete requires discipline and focus beyond what any of us can imagine if we haven't had such experience ourselves. Parents must bring that same discipline and focus to child/athlete protection and be committed to ensuring a safe and positive environment sports environment.
Taking short cuts is intentionally skipping a responsibility in the hope that no one will notice or someone else will do it. An athlete knows that skipping a work-out or eliminating ten more repetitions at practice is the difference between winning and losing. When the well being of our children is at stake, short-cuts simply cannot be acceptable.
Taking short cuts in practice is often frowned upon by teammates. If team members have to do an entire workout to the best of their ability, then every team member commits to achieving this goal. The pressure around teams to be individually accountable is so strong it's at the heart of the sport and the basis of the sport work ethic. As long this pressure on each other stays within safe and positive and doesn't extend it's self into bullying (more on that issue at www.safe4athletes.org), the result is impressive. Similarly, parents need to pressure each other to be concerned about issues of athlete welfare.

let's see where this thread goes..........
This is a discussion on pulled over last night, strange action on officers part, within the Concealed Carry Issues & Discussions forums, part of the Defensive Carry Discussions category; so i was leaving a friends house and noticed a headlight was out, sure enough as soon as i hit the highway a Sheriffs deputy ...
so i was leaving a friends house and noticed a headlight was out, sure enough as soon as i hit the highway a Sheriffs deputy lights me up, i pull over, roll the window down, turn the dome light on, hands on the wheel, the whole nine yards, he approaches the car and asks for my DL, i hand it to him with my CCW and he asked where it was, it was on the passenger seat next to me in a "notebook" holster, he requested i hand it to him and i did, he then sets it on top of my car and walks back to his cruiser and comes back with two warnings, expired tag and the headlight. he was super nice and thanked me for informing him about the CCW. I thought it was odd the he just set my pistol on my roof and left it there out in the open while he was doing his thing back at his car.

The officer, deputy whatever proceeded as he/she felt safe to conduct the traffic stop. Not everyone does the same in any given situation. Even officers from the same dept may not proceed the same way.

Not clear whether you handed him a holstered or unholstered gun.
Whatever doesn't kill you postpones the inevitable.
it was in a "HIDDEN AGENDA"
That's what I thought. Seems like putting it on the top of the car was a relatively safe way to go about the stop. He was able to keep you and the weapon in view throughout the stop. Worst case would be that you drove off with it still on top.
Whatever doesn't kill you postpones the inevitable.
To me the officer involved removed the weapon from your reach without makeing an issue of it or strictly speaking taking it into custody . Not necessarly what i would do but a good compromise anyway . Glad it all worked out for you in any event.

I guess he felt better leaving it on the roof where he could see it. Maybe he didn't want to take it into his possession for fear of any accusations.
I stated in the other thread I do not disarm leagally armed citizens. Unless ofcourse the individual gave me reason to believe that he would cause me harm.
Well at least you got off with just warnings.

It is better to have your gun and not need it, than to need it and not have it!
You cannot choose the conditions for a gunfight, so train in all conditions!
Two things I don't like.
First, I don't ever want to touch a weapon with a LEO present. Just seems like a bad idea, and an easy way for people to get confused.
Second, I would hate to forget about the gun and drive off with it on the roof. You said that almost happened, so it sounds as if the deputy forgot about it as well. I would much rather him take the weapon back to the car with him than to leave it on top of the car.

text: Again, refer to my post in the Stats lab to show how much better Bynum is when Drummond is on the court. He had the highest eFG of all the guards on the team last year. He may not be a great defender, but with that front line it may not be a huge issue.


text:
At the beginning of this new year, the BBC gave us The End of Time. Unfortunately David Tennant's swansong as the Doctor epitomised everything that was wrong with Russell T. Davies' tenure as head writer of Doctor Who. It was a poorly plotted, overstuffed, nonsensical mess. Thankfully the reign of Moffat begins soon and he knows how not to write a Russell T. Davies script.
First, don't use the 'Doctor as Messiah' theme. It was bad when Davies used it as a deus ex machina to solve the inextricable problem he'd written in for the end of Season 3. This time it went much too far: a church built to worship the 'blue box', the universe singing the Tenth Doctor to sleep. The character has more pathos when his good deeds go unrewarded, when he is a silent protector doing what is right for no personal gain. The Doctor is a great character without being the lord and saviour of the cosmos.
Second, less is more. A story can be epic without throwing everything you have into it. Davies' season finales invariably involved the Earth being in peril on a planetary scale. Surely the population is used to it by now. This time the script contained a planet full of The Master, Gallifrey returning, green alien people and their spaceship, a cult devoted to The Master, a convenient billionaire with a convenient private army, a regeneration, and coincidences that would make Dickens cringe. Increasing the danger does not necessarily increase the drama. Put a single character in danger. Tell a small, personal story. Just because the BBC gives you a massive special effects budget doesn't mean you need to use every penny.
The two previous points were demonstrated during the regeneration. It was far too heavily laden and melodramatic. It took twenty minutes for it to happen and the emphasis on the character 'dying' took away all the continuity between this incarnation and the next. By making this regeneration such a big deal, Davies insulted all the previous actors who took the role: no prior incarnation had the universe sing him to sleep, no prior incarnation blew up the Tardis. A more subtle regeneration would have been to have Ten enter the giant nuclear plot device, free Wilf, get filled with radiation, cower in a ball with some special effects light, and then to emerge as floppy-haired Matt Smith.
Third, leave characters alone. Rose didn't need a cameo. Martha didn't need a cameo. Jessica Hynes certainly didn't need a cameo. As much as I enjoyed Bernard Cribbins, Wilf didn't need to be the companion. Any stranger would have sufficed for that role: when the Doctor angrily says that Wilf isn't "remotely important" would have made more sense if, during the previous episode, Wilf hadn't been continually told that he "was important".
Finally, write plots that make sense. Davies' previous scripts seem logical compared to the nonsense in The End of Time. What does The Master gain from becoming everyone on the planet? If all the other Masters were the same as the original, the planet would descend into an unending war for supremacy. Why does the Doctor want to stop the Time Lords returning when he has spent four seasons of character development moping about being the last of his species? What happened to The Master in the end? Why did the Doctor keep flipping the gun from Simm to Dalton like an indecisive merry-go-round?
David Tennant will be missed: he was good in the role and brought energy to scripts that resembled Harrison Ford's famous remark to George Lucas – "You can type this shit, George, but you sure can't say it." Russell T. Davies deserves credit for bringing back the show (and for writing that brilliant Torchwood mini-series last year). But it's good that Doctor Who will now be getting a writer who understands time travel. You'd think that to be the absolute minimum to be expected from a head writer on a show about time travel.

Including Mathematica notebooks in LaTeX
I want to include a Mathematica notebook in a LaTeX document (my
thesis). Mathematica notebooks can supposedly be exported to TeX, but
when I tried to do that it didn't even get close to working properly.
My current solution is totally lame. I have 14 blank pages in my LaTeX
document, and when it prints them out, I will feed those pages through
the printer again while printing out the Mathematica notebook (sans
page numbers, headers, and footers). Is there a better solution?
Thanks in advance for any help.

psychology & Human faculty
Dr. Rochelle Sechooler, Department Chairperson
I received my B.A., M.A., and Ph.D. from UCLA
I teach Biological Psychology (PSY 2), Stress Management (PSY 60), Critical Thinking (PSY 66), and Beginning, Intermediate, and Advanced Field Work (PSY 81-86)
Department Chair:
I have been Department Chair since 1994. When thinking about my role as Department Chair, I often feel like the scientist Jonas Salk, M.D. who said when reflecting on his work, It's a calling, if you like, rather than a job. I feel impelled to do [and to try to] keep things moving in positive, creative, and constructive ways.
Why Psychology?
I think psychology seeks to answer the most profound questions in the world. The author, Leo Tolstoy said, There are a limitless number of different sciences, but without one basic science that is, what is the meaning of life and what is good for the people, all other forms of knowledge and art become idle and harmful entertainment. I have found the topics in psychology from the influence of the gene on love and aggression to the influence of group dynamics in the President's cabinet on war and peace not only important but also intensely interesting. I fell in love with psychology as a college freshman in the general psychology course and have continued to love psychology in all its many forms and expressions until today.
Why teach?
After 20 years, I still can't believe that I have been privileged to have this wonderful opportunity to share knowledge that I find so meaningful with the most wonderful community of students and colleagues.
I am inspired by listening to audio books on my long commute to the college, poetry, keeping a journal, going to the movies, nature, swimming, and yoga.
Dr. Jeffrey Blum
I am a full-time faculty member of the Los Angeles City College Psychology Department.
Jeffrey S. Blum, Ph.D.
Blythe Daniel
I am a graduate of Los Angeles City College and have many fond memories of being a student here on campus. I received my Master's degree from Cal State Dominguez Hills and I am a full time faculty member of the Psychology Department. In addition to teaching a number of core courses I hold the position of Director of Fieldwork for the Human Services Certificate Program. I am also the founder of We The Children Foundation which is a non-profit organization committed to gaining rights for children. As your Professor, I pledge to kindle within you a love of learning and I will help you use the principles of Psychology so you may become a more aware, self-actualized individual. My goal: to make sure that you don't just go through life but instead, grow through life.
Kiomars (Eric) Fiazi
I was born on the other side of the globe, a very long time ago. From childhood I have had a desire to pursue art, literature, and psychology, as well as, a strong hope to come the the US. In 1960 this wish took shape- I came to the US and I began pursuing psychology. In 1966 I received my BA from UCLA and MS from USC in 1970.
My teaching career started in 1970 at Los Angeles City College. Almost from the beginning in my teaching career my goal was to develop a method where I could blend art, music, literature, and psychology together meaningfully. I envisioned that to help students expand their horizons, to be educated, be happy and productive members of society, it was necessary for me to blend in the multiple subjects that focused on the "human growth", especially scientific and critical thinking. I "use" psychology to teach these ideas. I believe my students understand my method and my goal, and they have been responding with appreciation.
Amy Sweetman
Amy Sweetman received her B.A. at the University of South Florida and her M.A. at CSULA with specialization in the area of Biological Psychology. She has been teaching General Psychology, Group Dynamics, Psychology of Sexuality and Computers for Human Service Majors since the early 1990's.
As a faculty member at Los Angeles City College, she has been involved in many different projects such as helping to develop the New Faculty Academy, the Emeriti lecture series and the Book Program. She created the Los Angeles Brain Bee which is a High School competition on Neuroscience that supports a partnership with both UCLA and USC. She has been involved in numerous teaching seminars that have been presented throughout the Los Angeles area. Additionally, in 2007 she created the faculty resource Intropsychresources.com that is used by professors throughout the nation.
Dr. April Pavlik
My name is April L. Pavlik, PsyD. I have been teaching classes here at LACC since 2003. I was hired as full time staff in January of 2010. I graduated from the University of Arkansas with a BA in Psychology. I then matriculated to John F Kennedy University in Northern California where I went on to achieve a Masters in Sports Psychology and a Doctorate in Clinical Psychology. I moved to Los Angeles when I was accepted to complete my internship and post doctoral training at City of Hope National Medical Center where I was a psychologist working with cancer patients and their families from diagnosis through survivorship. I also worked with those who were approaching the end of their lives. I have taught General, Personality, Abnormal, Lifespan, and Group Process Psychology. I am also involved in Academic Senate and am actively involved on campus to help students at LACC achieve their goals.
David Sedghi
I received my Master's degree in Clinical Psychology with an Emphasis in Marriage and Family Therapy from Pepperdine University's Graduate School of Education and Psychology. My undergraduate Bachelor's degree is also in Psychology from the University of California, Berkeley. I have worked, studied, and lived in California for over 25 years and I am incredibly proud to be a full time faculty member of the Psychology Department at Los Angeles City College. I teach an array of courses at LACC from Introductory Psychology to more advanced courses.
Beyond my work as a Professor, I also work as a Marriage and Family Therapist and Clinical Supervisor at a nonprofit mental health clinic in the City of Los Angeles. I work primarily with children, families, and young adults dealing with an array of mental health issues. I have nearly 10 years of experience working in the field of mental health.
Most importantly I am incredibly passionate about teaching and finding innovative ways to enhance the learning environment in my classroom. I try to incorporate emerging technologies into my classes and find creative solutions for merging old and new forms of instruction. I approach every day with the same enthusiasm, energy, and drive as I did the first day I started teaching. I hope this is a legacy I can leave behind here at Los Angeles City College when my career is all said and done.
