With concern in the West mounting over Iran's nuclear ambitions, some lawmakers and policy advocates see sanctions as the best option to halt Tehran's uranium enrichment program. Since 2010, the United States and international partners have ratcheted up sanctions as reports surfaced of the country's progress on potential nuclear weapons capability, although the regime regularly denies such a goal. An International Atomic Energy Agency report in November 2011 issued the agency's strongest indications to date that Iran is seeking a nuclear weapon. In response, the United States imposed new sanctions tightening the screws on Iran's petrochemical and oil and gas sectors. The United States also designated Iran's entire financial sector--including its central bank--as a "primary money laundering concern" under the Patriot Act and could strengthen existing sanctions in the late summer of 2012. Meanwhile, the EU also has imposed sanctions on oil purchases from Iran, with all contracts terminating on July 1, 2012 (AP).
Opposition from China and Russia has watered down international sanctions in the past. Both nations, which maintain strong economic ties to Iran, have also opposed unilateral measures by Washington, claiming they will hurt diplomatic attempts to engage Iran by circumventing UN authority. A debate over the efficacy of sanctions has ensued since Iran has continued to pursue its nuclear program, but the latest round seems to have brought Iran back to the negotiating table, which some say indicates they are working.
Washington's Approach
The long list of U.S. economic and political sanctions against Iran has its root in the 1979 Tehran hostage crisis. On November 14, 1979, President Jimmy Carter declared an emergency and ordered a freeze on all Iranian assets "which are or become subject to the jurisdiction of the United States." Additional sanctions were imposed when, in January 1984, Iran was implicated in the bombing of the U.S. Marine base in Beirut, Lebanon. The United States added Iran to its list of countries that support terrorism (in this case, the Lebanon-based militant group Hezbollah), banning U.S. foreign aid to Tehran, and imposing export controls on dual-use items.
Concern over Iran's nuclear program surfaced later, and the following areas are targeted by significant U.S. sanctions:
- Weapons development. The Iran-Iraq Arms Nonproliferation Act (October 23, 1992) calls for sanctioning any person or entity that assists Tehran in weapons development or acquisition of "chemical, biological, nuclear, or destabilizing numbers and types of advanced conventional weapons." Subsequent nonproliferation orders include the Iran-Syria-North Korea Non-Proliferation Act, and Executive Order 13382 (PDF), signed by President Bush in June 2005.
- Trade and investment. On April 30, 1995, President Bill Clinton announced a comprehensive ban on U.S. trade and investment in Iran, a move codified by Executive Order 12959 (PDF). In March 2010, U.S. President Barack Obama, like George W. Bush, renewed Clinton's executive order banning U.S. trade and investment with Iran. The U.S. Congress also is poised to enact new penalties on entities (AP) insuring or investing in the Iran oil and gas sector, and expand sanctions to a number of new businesses. It also requires businesses that trade on the U.S. Stock Exchange to disclose any Iran-related business. On July 31, 2012, the Obama administration announced yet another round of sanctions (TheHill), placing penalties on the purchase of Iranian petrochemical products and entities that attempt to circumvent sanctions.
- Nuclear materials. The Iran and Libya Sanctions Act of 1996 (ISA) was aimed at denying Iran access to materials to further its nuclear program by sanctioning non-U.S. business investment in Iran's energy sector. While the act has been seen as a blueprint for possible actions aimed at foreign support of Iranian weapons development, in practice the measure has proven largely symbolic. Kenneth Katzman, an Iran analyst at the Congressional Research Service, writes (PDF) that "no projects have actually been sanctioned under ISA, and numerous investment agreements with Iran since its enactment have helped Iran slow deterioration of its energy export sector."
- Financial dealings. The U.S. Treasury Department administers a vast array of financial sanctions against Iran, from bans on the importation of gifts over $100 to laws barring financial dealings with Iranian entities. Efforts to ban Iranian banks from accessing the U.S. financial system have also increased in recent years. In November 2011, the United States designated the entire Iranian banking regime as potentially aiding and abetting terrorist activities, but the measure fell short of sanctioning the country's central bank. President Obama also issued an executive order in November 2011 targeting Iran's oil revenue by stopping foreign financial institutions from conducting oil transactions (Reuters) with Iran's central bank, which handles most of the country's oil payments. In March 2012, in a move required by Congress to implement the new sanctions (NYT), the president certified that the global oil market was strong enough to support the loss of Iranian oil. The new measures will put pressure on heavy importers of Iranian oil (BBC) such as South Korea, India, Turkey, China, and South Africa. Japan and several EU countries have been given exemptions.
- Assets. Following the terrorist attacks in New York and Washington, President Bush authored Executive Order 13224 (PDF), freezing the assets of entities determined to be supporting international terrorism. This list includes dozens of individuals, organizations, and financial institutions in Iran. Over the years, Washington has sanctioned dozens more individuals and Iranian institutions, including banks, defense contractors, and the Revolutionary Guard Corps. In October 2011, the Treasury Department added five Iranians, including four senior officers of the IRGC's elite paramilitary Quds Force, to this list for plotting the assassination of the Saudi ambassador to the United States. It also added Iranian commercial airline Mahan Air for providing financial, material, and technological support to the IRGC and Quds Force. The IRGC-Quds Force was also listed in Executive Order 13572 of April 2011 aimed at blocking properties of individuals and entities for supporting the Syrian regime's human rights abuses and suppression of anti-government protests.
- Refined gasoline. In July 2010, President Obama signed into law a measure aimed at penalizing domestic and foreign companies for selling refined gasoline to Iran, or for supplying equipment in Iran's bid to increase its refining capacity. In signing the measure, Obama declared the act, H.R. 2194, "a powerful tool against Iran's development of nuclear weapons and support of terrorism. China (WSJ) and Russia (CSMonitor) quickly opposed the unilateral U.S. measure on grounds that the move--aimed at closing loopholes in the UN sanctions regime--could hurt their business interests while undermining diplomatic overtures to Tehran.
Some experts are skeptical of sanctions on gasoline, saying they often inadvertently target the wrong entities. "They are sanctions against our allies, and the people that we need to get on board with us, to help us deal with Iran," says Kimberly Ann Elliott, a senior fellow at the Center for Global Development who has studied sanctions policy. Iran imports gasoline from a number of important U.S. allies (PDF), including India, France, the Netherlands, and a host of Gulf States. "Putting sanctions on their companies is not very likely to encourage them to be cooperative" on other issues of regional importance, Elliott says.
International Efforts
The EU has imposed a number of tough sanctions. In January 2012, the EU agreed to begin embargoing exports of oil from Iran on July 1. According to the EU's trade commission in July 2012, Iran exported $19 billion worth of goods to EU countries in 2010, 90 percent of which were energy-related. In June 2010, the European Union enacted measures similar to those approved by the U.S. Congress that ban investment and assistance (BBC) to Iran's energy sector, and a series of prohibitions were placed on European firms doing business in the country. The EU also added to its list (PDF) of designated individuals, companies, banks, and organizations targeted for asset freezes. Many analysts believe the moves, taken together, will place increased strain on the Iranian economy, given the EU's position as Iran's largest trading partner. In response to the IAEA report in November 2011, the UK and Canada also imposed new sanctions similar to U.S. restrictions on the activities of Iran's central bank.
The UN Security Council has wrestled with imposing sanctions on Iran since 2006 due to Iran's failures to comply with International Atomic Energy Agency requirements and its continuing uranium-enrichment activities. In December of that year, the council approved the first of four binding resolutions authorizing bans on exports of nuclear, missile, and dual-use technologies; limiting travel by dozens of Iranian officials; and freezing the assets of forty individuals and entities, including Bank Sepah and various front companies. The measures also call on states to refrain from business with Iran, and authorize the inspection of cargo carried by Iranian shippers. In June of 2010, the Security Council issued a fourth round of sanctions under Resolution 1929--putting the squeeze on Iran's Revolutionary Guards-owned businesses, its shipping industry, and the country's commercial and financial service sector. Efforts to push through a fourth round of economic noose-tightening at the UN, while successful, were nonetheless complicated by resistance from Russia and China, which are linked to Iran by important economic and political interests.
Yet despite opposition from the two permanent Security Council members, international efforts to squeeze Iran economically are solidifying. In July 2010, Canada banned new investment (AP) in Iran's oil and gas industries. European allies have also implemented their own sanctions, and although historically these states have had less of an appetite for punitive measures, recent actions have been tougher. For much of the 1990s, while Washington imposed unilateral sanctions, EU countries maintained a policy of "critical dialogue" with Iran. But as Iran grew increasingly defiant on the nuclear front, European partners turned up the heat (PDF), Katzman of the Congressional Research Service notes. In June 2008, the EU froze the assets of nearly forty individuals and entities doing business with Bank Melli, Iran's largest bank; Western officials have accused Bank Melli of supporting Iran's nuclear and missile programs. Japan and the EU have also placed restrictions on international lending to Iran, which, Katzman writes, "represents a narrowing of past differences between the United States and its allies on this issue."
Navigating the Road Ahead
Experts are divided on the effectiveness of sanctions as a tool to force rogue states to abandon their weapons programs. In the cases of Libya and Iraq, many analysts note the role economic sanctions had in inhibiting the development of weapons programs (though in the case of Iraq, the full extent of their effectiveness was not known until after the U.S.-led invasion of 2003).
Washington hopes that squeezing Iran's economy will pressure the country's leadership to alter course on its nuclear program. U.S. officials in early 2012 said sanctions targeting financial transactions (Reuters) were beginning to have an economic effect. News reports show that the cost of doing business with Iran has become so onerous that many firms are dropping their transactions (Bloomberg) entirely. Iranian officials have continued to dismiss sanctions (FNA) as ineffective, but some have also said lifting them should be a major point of new talks. In April and May 2012, Iran met with the permanent members of the UN Security Council and Germany (P5+1) to discuss its nuclear program. However, those talks have yielded little movement on either side.
Whether these sanctions will deter the nuclear program remains up for debate. "After decades of struggling under punitive financial measures, Iran has persisted with its objectionable policies ranging from terrorism to proliferation of weapons of mass destruction," write CFR's Ray Takeyh and Suzanne Maloney of the Brookings Institution. "All this suggests that ideological regimes that put a premium on their political priorities and which are seemingly insensitive to the mounting costs of their belligerence may not be suitable candidates for the type of cost-benefit analysis that sanctions diplomacy invites."
The Bipartisan Policy Center recommends a multi-pronged approach, including diplomacy, sanctions, and visible preparation of a "military option of last resort." Still, Takeyh notes in an April 2012 interview that both ending economic sanctions and forestalling a military strike were part of the reason for resuming negotiations.

Learn healthy ways to color and care for your hair.
Dear Ouidad:
I love to color my hair and normally do a permanent color and a rinse once a year. I have noticed however that my hair is dry at times and seems to be shedding/breaking (I don't know the difference) when I twist it at night. Can you advise me of ways to (a) get my hair back to a more healthier state, and (b) color my hair in a more healthy way?.
Try these hair coloring tips for healthy hair. Use semi- or demi-color instead of permanent. Also use a Deep Treatment 3 days before coloring and 10 days after coloring to protect and nourish your curls.
For coloring services, make sure your stylist is using a gentle coloring system and following with an in-salon Deep Treatment to seal in color (makes it last longer!) and condition your curls after the processing.
Finally, try not to twist your hair because it causes breakage. Instead, gently put your curls on top of your head in a loose ponytail (with soft strip of cloth or scrunchie) so that there's less stress on your curls.

CORTLAND, N.Y. -- Gang Green has been in Cortland for training camp for about a week and Saturday night, fans get a chance to see them do more than just drills.
The Jets are holding their annual green and white scrimmage and fans packed the stadium well before the game to get their first look at the team in game action. And with all the talk about the team having two quarterbacks, fans are certainly buzzing about Mark Sanchez and Tim Tebow
One fan we spoke with says he hopes Mark Sanchez can prove that he should continue to be the starting quarterback.
"I'm expecting more from Sanchez. He's been slacking the last two seasons, I mean, he's been getting better, but we need more from him. We need more playoffs. We need more rings. Hopefully he wants his starter position and he'll fight to keep that," Brandon Moza said.
The Jets play their first preseason game Friday against the Cincinnati Bengals.

Getting There
Driving is a breeze on this island, and roads are well signposted. If you want to hire a car, Smith cardholders get a ten per cent discount at Hertz, who have a branch at Palma airport (+34 971 789670). Go to www.hertz.co.uk for more details, and quote '635230' when reserving.
Palma airport (+34 971 789099) is 10km south of the capital city - the drive to the centre shouldn't take more than 15 minutes. Monarch (www.monarch.co.uk) flies to Palma three times a week from London Gatwick and Manchester.
There are two railway lines from Palma, one heads north-east to Inca, and the other heads north to Sóller. If you take the vintage electric train from Palma to Sóller, then you can enjoy the scenic route from there to Port de Sóller by tram.
Local Knowledge

Do go / Don't Go
The temperature rarely dips below 30ºC in summer, when the island gets very busy. Autumn is less hectic and the water is at its warmest. In winter and spring, Mallorca is mild, sunny and peaceful.
Snack on pa amb oli, the Mallorquin take on bruschetta. Other specialities include lubina a la sal (salt-baked sea bass), slow-roast lamb, and frito Mallorquin - deep-fried offal and vegetables. If you want to get hands-on, Tyrone Power offers weekend cookery courses (+34 971 875395) in Sineu.
Cabs are cheap and easy to find in Palma itself, but you're better off hiring a car if you plan to do any longer journeys around the island.

Worth Doing
The imposing Gothic cathedral, Sa Seu, dominates Palma's skyline. For modern-day eye candy, the Es Baluard museum, on Plaça Porta de Santa Catalina, has exhibitions showcasing works by Picasso and Dalí (www.esbaluard.org). There's also a great gallery and sculpture trail on an estate in Malpas, near Alcudia (www.fundacionjakober.org).
There are abundant coves for snorkelling near Palma: Estellencs is an especially good diving spot. There aren't any great sandy beaches near the capital, though, so you might want to combine a city break in Palma with a few days at a rural retreat. The three-mile stretch of Platja de Palma offers cafés and bars, or you can head to Peguera and moor at the marina there. For quieter shores, find your own rocky cliff on the islets in the western part of Palma Bay.
In Palma, a browse of the chic Chocolat Factory on Plaça d'es Mercat (www.chocolatfactory.com) is worth it just for the samples. Don't miss Corner on Paseo del Borne, and Custo on Calle San Miguel, which stock a wide range of designer brands. Fleamarket lovers should visit Rastrillo on Avenida Gabriel Alomar I Villalonga, where a market is held on Saturday mornings, 08h-14h.

Jena, Germany / Jupiter, FL, USA , 24.04.2012
Setting new standards for thermographic accuracy and precision, the new VarioCAM® HD is the worldwide first uncooled, handheld thermography camera offering 3.1 Megapixel infrared resolution and featuring a laser rangefinder for distance correction.
Jenoptik is pushing thermal imaging quality one more step further towards photorealistic image quality. The new VarioCAM® HD records radiometric images and images sequences of 1024 x 768 pixel resolution at a frame rate of up to 30 Hz. Additionally, Jenoptik's opto-mechanical Resolution Enhancement (RE) technology boosts the XGA resolution to a maximum real-time resolution of 3.1 megapixel – which is unique for thermography cameras. In this effect, Jenoptik continues the success story of the proven VarioCAM® high resolution, predecessor of the VarioCAM® HD series.
As a world debut for thermography, VarioCAM® HD features an eye-safe Jenoptik laser rangefinder for object distance measurement. The distance information is used for thermal image correction – thus increasing measurement accuracy – and also supports the camera's integrated auto-focus function. A GPS module enables tagging of geo-information to image data. Additional VIS still-image or video data is acquired by an integrated 8 Megapixel CMOS camera.
What you see is what you get: VarioCAM® HD features an extra-large and tough 5.6'' TFT display and tiltable LCoS viewfinder for image display and camera control. The bright display with 1280 x 800 pixel resolution is suitable for use under daylight conditions and allows for on-site temperature analysis either in real-time live-view or of recorded thermograms. Despite of its IP54 proof tough industrial quality housing, the camera is handy and allows for easy, ergonomic one-hand operation.
For easy and reliable remote camera control and image transfer a variety of industrial standard interfaces are available, including GigE-Vision and wireless interfaces such as WLAN or Bluetooth.
Matching a broad variety of thermal imaging applications, a great choice of high quality infrared optics is available, ranging from wide angle to telephoto lenses. Designed and manufactured by Jenoptik's Optical Systems division, the lenses are perfectly adapted to the new VarioCAM® HD.
Typical applications for the versatile VarioCAM® HD encompass high end industrial and scientific research & development, predictive & preventive maintenance or building inspection.
The new VarioCAM® HD is launched in public for the first time:

Children displaced by Tropical Storm Washi draw with UNICEF-provided supplies at a child-friendly space in Iligan, Philippines. |
By Rudina Vojvoda
NEW YORK, USA, 1 March 2012 – More than one billion children live in urban areas according to UNICEF's flagship report, 'The State of the World's Children 2012: Children in an Urban World'.
AUDIO: Listen now
On the whole, children in urban areas typically have better educational opportunities than those in rural areas. But for many urban children from marginalized groups – including the children of migrants and children living in slums or on the streets – education remains inaccessible. Many fail to meet registration requirements to enrol in urban schools and others can't afford education-related costs, such as uniforms, books and supplies.
To discuss how urbanization has impacted education, UNICEF's podcast moderator Femi Oke spoke with two guests: Dr. Pamela Wridt, Co-Director of Children's Environments Research Group (CERG) , and Carlos Vasquez, a UNICEF Education Specialist.
Making cities child-friendly
Children of migrants often face an inhospitable welcome when they move to urban areas, said Mr. Vasquez. "The children move from rural areas to the urban settings, but they remain in the peripheries because the cities are not designed or prepared to receive the millions of people that are migrating. Because of this, children are denied the basic human rights as they arrive in these settings," he said.
Since 1996, the Child Friendly City Initiative has guided cities and local governments to include children's rights as a key component of their agenda. Dr. Wridt believes that the initiative has had a positive impact around the globe. "We have seen improved services and new programs for children that are designed by children, such as the clubs in Sudan, where children of different tribes are getting to know one another through peace education and reconciliation programs," she said.
She also spoke of France and Turkey, where many cities are going through the process of becoming certified as child-friendly. "One of the things they did to become certified was to create children's councils … that regularly advise the mayor or other decision-makers on matters that concern children," she said.
Empowering communities
According to Mr. Vasquez, the success of coping with rapid urbanization depends on ensuring that communities are empowered to find their own solutions.
"If the communities are not involved, most likely the outcome will not be as effective as we wish it to be. Haiti is a perfect example of that. Communities have been left out of the process of rebuilding and putting back their life together. It is crucial that whatever we do, we involve children and communities – not only in the planning but also in the reconstruction aspect of their lives moving forward," Mr. Vasquez concluded.

PHNOM PENH, Cambodia — President Barack Obama dispatched Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton to the Middle East on Tuesday as the U.S. urgently seeks to contain the bloody conflict between Israel and Hamas.
Clinton hastily departed for the region from Cambodia, where she had joined Obama for summit meetings with Asian leaders. The White House said she would make three stops, meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Jerusalem, Palestinian officials in Ramallah, in the West Bank, and Egyptian leaders in Cairo. Clinton was expected to arrive in Israel on Tuesday night and return to Washington late Wednesday or very early Thursday after making all three stops.
Clinton's trip marks the Obama administration's most forceful engagement in the weeklong conflict that has killed more than 100 Palestinians and three Israelis, with hundreds more wounded. While the U.S. has backed Israel's right to defend itself against rocket fire from Gaza, the Obama administration has warned its ally against pursuing a ground assault that would further escalate the violence and could dramatically increase casualties on both sides.
State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland said Clinton "will emphasize the United States' interest in a peaceful outcome that protects and enhances Israel's security and regional stability; that can lead to improved conditions for the civilian residents of Gaza; and that can reopen the path to fulfill the aspirations of Palestinians and Israelis for two states living in peace and security."
Still, Obama's deputy national security adviser Ben Rhodes said the U.S. believes "Israel will make its own decisions about the military operations and decisions that it undertakes."
"At the same time, we believe that Israel, like the United States, like other countries, would prefer to see their interests met diplomatically and peacefully," Rhodes said. "It's in nobody's interest to see an escalation of the military conflict."
Obama and Clinton have consulted about the widening crisis throughout their three-day tour of Southeast Asia, their final joint trip before Clinton leaves her post as the top U.S. diplomat. They spoke again about the situation Tuesday morning, aides said, and made the decision for her to travel to the region.
Still, it was unclear what impact Clinton's presence would have on the spiraling violence or whether she was heading to the Mideast with any specific overtures from the U.S.
Rhodes said "there are a number of ideas that are in play," but offered no further details. And he insisted the ramped up U.S. involvement was "a matter of what's in everybody's best interests", not a matter of "leverage."
Obama and Clinton each have held multiple telephone calls with their counterparts in Israel and Egypt, which is at the center of negotiations to quell the violence. Because the U.S. considers Hamas a terrorist organization and prohibits contact between its members and American officials, it is relying on Egypt, as well as Turkey and Qatar, to deliver its message to the Hamas leadership in Gaza. Continued...
Israel and Hamas say they are open to diplomatic mediation efforts being led by Egypt, but they are far apart in their demands.
Hamas wants Israel to halt all attacks on Gaza and lift tight restrictions on trade and movement in and out of the territory that have been in place since Hamas seized Gaza by force in 2007. Israel demands an end to rocket fire from Gaza and a halt to weapons smuggling into Gaza through tunnels under the border with Egypt.
The widening conflict has threatened to overshadow Obama's three-country tour of Southeast Asia, his first overseas trip after winning re-election. The president, after a marathon day that took him from Thailand to Myanmar to Cambodia, worked the phones with Mideast leaders into the early hours of Tuesday morning, aides said.
The White House said Obama would stay in contact with the key players in the conflict while Clinton was on the ground. The president is scheduled to depart Cambodia later Tuesday, arriving back in Washington before dawn Wednesday.

As soon as that image was posted I went to the Nintendo.co.jp website and checked out the calendar. It said Mario Party 9. I didn't post immediately because I knew it was just a joke.
Lets drop it.
I'm quite sad today.
I scheduled a PR email from Nintendo last night about sales data.
I'd been waiting all week.
The mail server failed at 11pm... so pissed.
Was hoping to catch people out with it...
Also I didn't edit the Nintendo site. I've replicated it ... well a small part of it anyway. I'm a developer I use code not firebug .. . Lol.
So shame on you presumptious He edited it with firebug GAF. Hence why I didn't post the address bar. I'm pissed as I actually posted the wrong screen
. The one I should of posted I actually translated the words after Entertainment System and put the Japanese in. Damn me.
I did say I was gonna try stuff.... and I have collected email addresses for about twenty different games companies. . . Ill have fun with those... especially as this poor attempt got this far.
So yeah. No firebug, no Java, no editing the Nintendo site, no Photoshop, technically all correct

Papa Smurf, Hello Kitty and the Elf On The Shelf took to the skies near the Meadowlands Racetrack in East Rutherford, N.J. on Saturday for their first outdoor test flights ahead of the 86th annual Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade.
The brand-new balloons were flown under the direction of Macy's flight management team and monitored for their aerial capabilities.
"To put them through their paces outside, to give them one last check, all the lines, all of the inflation, how they go around making turns and so forth," said John Piper, the creative director of Macy's Parade Studio. "Gives us one chance for adjustments before we get ready for parade."
"This has been a very, very tough month for everybody here in and around New York. We see it as our obligation to do the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade," said Amy Kule, the parade's executive producer. "The whole country celebrates Thanksgiving, and the parade has always been this beacon of hope and rejuvenation."
The parade will travel a new route this year, trailing down Sixth Avenue after heading down Central Park West and across Central Park South.
Organizers say the route will allow more people to get a look at the festivities.

GRAND FORKS, N.D. – University of North Dakota head baseball coach Jeff Dodson announced the addition of Luis Calvo to his 2012-13 recruiting class on Friday. Salvo signed a National Letter of Intent earlier this week to play his college baseball for UND.
"We are excited to add Luis to this year's recruiting class," Dodson said. "He is still developing physically, but the sky is the limit for what we think he can accomplish here. He is a slick fielding middle infielder with really good range and is developing some pop at the plate. Luis has played at a very high level of baseball in both high school and summer ball and that should make an easier transition for him into the college ranks."
Calvo prepped at Brooks-DeBartolo Collegiate High School in Tampa, Fla., where he was a three-year starter in the middle infield and named Team MVP as a senior. The six-foot, 185-pounder was also the team captain during both his junior and senior campaigns.
"I wanted to come to UND to explore new opportunities," Calvo said. "The program and the coaches seemed like a good fit and I have a good friend up there that I have played with before. All of those things factored into my decision."
Calvo, who hit nearly .300 and belted four home runs as a senior, is the second recruit from Florida to sign with UND in the past two seasons as both he and former Tampa Dawg Pound teammate Jeff Campbell (Clearwater, Fla.) hail from the Sunshine State. The Florida duo played their summer baseball together under the guidance of former Major Leaguer Reggie Williams.
"We've built a good relationship down in Florida with Reggie and his academy over the past couple of years," Dodson said. "And, we all saw the type of year Jeff had for us this past season, so we know what type of players he is producing down there."
Calvo will enroll at UND in the fall and be eligible to play during the 2013 season.

Good...but doesn't look like the picture
I agree that these fit true to size. I ordered the same size that I am in Nike running shoes and they fit perfect and are very comfy. The only thing is, the color of mine look nothing like this picture! The toes on mine are almost black and the front and back keep flopping over which is kind of annoying. I think I will keep them because they are so comfy but def. not my fave boot I've bought. The color I received still looks nice...just not like the pic.

Great boots, but not for me
These are great boots: very on-trend and "rocker"-looking. The color is a perfect neutral, going well with blacks, browns, grays and blue jeans. The slouchy style would look great with jeggings, leggings and skinny jeans. They would even work well with a frilly dress. However, with the floppy top, they were too "pirate-y" looking for me, so I returned them.

Great Boot
Great boot for the value. I have gotten a lot of compliments on these boots. They are also very conformable. The straps move around and sometimes the belts slip so can look more slouchy than pictured, but overall, very happy with these,

ehh, it's ok
First off, way more dark gray in person. But that was still ok. Like most reviewers, I have no idea how they got that boot to look like the photo. I walked down my hallway in them and the back portion of the shaft kept folding in. Speaking of the shaft the quality of the suede on the shaft, it's a little poor. It's very thin, which is probably why it flops around so much. Having said all of that, they are still kinda cool. But I'm still returning them and might reconsider them if they went on sale.

Feeling Funky Boots
I love boots, and I love these. The only reason why I gave the boots four instead of five stars is the color isn't gray. It's a sort of brownish, grayish, khaki color. I'm partial to gray but these are growing on me because I like the fact they look "lived" in. I've had lots of compliments on them. There my go to boots for the season.
Sizing: True to Size / As Expected

Great boot to dress up or down. Wear with skinny jeans, leggings or tights. They fit true to size and are comfortable enough to walk around in or go out in. I don't mind spending $400+ on a pair of boots that I'll wear a lot, but for $200 it's even better.
Sizing: True to Size / As Expected

Give Me The Boot
Great color. Great design. Different from the...well, 20-something other bootsw I own. They make a biker chic statement without owning the look. The color and distress is perfectly off. Goes with any jeans, leather pants, and skirts you want to funk up. Very cool with opaque tights- sexy/tough. I would highly recommend these boots. My only issue was the size- big. I have exchanged them for a half size down. Sure hope they'll fit, because I don't want to go without them!
Sizing: Larger than Expected

Fabulously styled boot
Everything about this boot is appealing. The color and finish of the leather, height, heel position all great. No one else has come close to duplicating it. Unfortunately the fit was not there. My foot is narrow, Trying to make it work I tried several sizes at stores and online. Before I gave up I purchased special inner soles in order to create comfort and wear ability. A friend of mine who is smaller/long legs also purchased. They looked great on my height (5'7") Regretfully had to return them.
The look is great for the skinny jeans, very unhappy.

I have been left somewhat drained of inspiration in Second Life recently by continual catastrophe and general malaise, and I have been thinking of alternative Models for Industry, as I am of course in constant need of funds, as are we all. Caledon is not free, you know.
Despite my general antipathy towards the production of custom builds, I was thinking that I might offer a service whereby a customer would suggest a specific model of firearm, and I would endeavour to create a replica. I have stated before that I find such things quite relaxing, though it can be quite a bit of work. I would wish to be able to sell the finished product to other customers afterwards, unless a great deal of money was forthcoming, but on the other hand, the purchaser would be able to say "it was I who gave Ordinal the idea for this device, it is special to me" - and they would receive a personally customised version which was not for general sale.
I would be obliged if any readers with Opinions would comment on the matter, and particularly as concerns the matter of price. I would be charging more than the standard for such a service, perhaps twice the subsequent sale price, or more for something that might not sell? It would depend on the difficulty of the thing.
Incidentally, yes, I have noticed the possibility of Restrictions regarding Scripting for certain Members of Society that have been proposed, and whilst I have been commenting on the matter on certain Aethernet Forums I consider that it would be somewhat premature to make a definitive statement, seeing as how the announcement was of such a speculative nature. Idle speculation is the Devil's Playground. If firmer proposals are made I will certainly be making my feelings known. Incidentally it is interesting to see that the Linden "Blog" is at First Place in the rankings of its current publisher, wordpress.com. Apparently there are many curious residents out there demanding immediate information, and good luck to them, say I!
If the demand is commensurate with your willingness to accomodate it, I say forge ahead on custom work. My only caveat is from personal experience. Ensure that you and the customer both have a clear understanding of how much you're willing to change direction midstream if your understanding of the specifications is somehow different from the customer's.
Regarding price, I imagine that would scale with dependency on several factors:
-- likelihood of strong demand for the custom device beyond the original purchaser. If the item has not yet been fabricated and requires custom attention, how likely is it to have widespread appeal?
-- the balance of labor as divided between modeling scripting and texturing. Are you more at home with one versus the others? How relaxing will a custom project be that emphasizes that with which you are less a past master? That was a convoluted sentence, just now. I had better stop here.
I consider this a capital idea, Madam, and, should you implement it, it will be a boon to firearms enthusiasts throughout the Grid. As a purely un-scientific guess, I would think that anywhere from double to triple the price of the eventual item as placed for public sale would be an appropriate figure for the commission, perhaps more if it required exceptionally intensive modeling and/or scripting for whatever reason. You, of course, have such faithfully-replicated pieces as the Webley revolver and Shanxi pistol to act as your "calling cards" for this endeavour, so I anticipate there will be customers willing to meet your price. (Of course, I am not a market analyst by trade, so, should this prediction not pan out, please refrain from having your solicitor pursue me...)
Another possibility is to make the content for a Caledon sim in the future!
Generally this involves some sort of constructive project that defines the character of the sim, and other structures / homes / whatnot that I give 'free' to people who first sign in. Of course, I foot the bill for the first ones and you retain full selling rights after.
If you are making things throughout the course of your Second Life anyway, you might find such a proposal interesting.
I've already worked with Jessica, Charlene, Serra, and now Chrystin in such endeavours, and have spoken about further content development with a number of others.
I do this by invitation only; consider yourself invited and all that matters afterward is to decide upon a sim-specific theme and when we can proceed (takes some time for me to save up for sims, &c).
I would be interested in custom firearms and the possibility of somewhere to use them without greifing. Two that come immediately to mind are the Martini-Henry rifle, a big hard kicking thing that really bruises your shoulder up from firing it. It is the rifle used in many classic colonial campaigns, the most of famous of which would be the Zulu War of 1879.
Another useful firearm to have commonly available would be a sporting shotgun of some sort. This could be combined with some scripted pheasants left around Caledon so that folks could wander about and try to pot them. Perhaps the gun could keep a running total of birds hit so that sportsmen could have contests and the like.
Anyway, ideas are far cheaper than the work to produce them, and I am as yet far too unskilled for this sort of work, so I would happily pay a good fair market value for either of the above.
Hm, the Martini-Henry is a good point - I have already done the Webley if we are considering things in the Imperial military theme, and it is certainly another iconic firearm of the period. That would certainly go on my list. I may contact you regarding it at some point.
As for shotguns, the ducks around Caledon can be shot down with the shotguns which are freely available from dispensers around the place - I'm not sure how many sims the ducks breed in, but they are lousy around Caledon, always bumping into my lighthouse.
I am in the process of developing an open damage system, which would be available for both objects and people, enabling the scoring of hits without having to put oneself into a damage zone, which is not always convenient. The emphasis is less on security than on ease of implementation for all; it would not be suitable for a detailed tournament game, though individuals would be able to pick their own specific channel to use.
Thank you all for your comments by the way, I take each and every one into account. I usually sell weapons for L$300-400, and I would imagine that a commissioned work would be double that for something relatively generic, or around L$1,000 for careful fitting to an avatar, repeated iterations of testing animations and so on. It is something that I shall think upon and announce herein.
Hi Ordinal,
I'll second a long-lever Martini Henry, especially since Alex Chadbourne has period uniforms avaialble. And as I have mentioned before, it really would be nice to have a working Maxim gun--everybody used a form of Maxim it seems, and it's the sort of thing that could go either on a tripod or wheeled mount (depending on what nationality you want to make it) or if you put it on some sort of pintle mount they would make nice secondary armament for airships and patrol boats.
The other thing that would be nice would be a common form of earlier bolt action rifle--someone made a No.4 Enfield that's pretty good, but that of course is a WWII era piece. Maybe a 71/84 or a 93 Mauser?
It all reminds me of the problems involved with animating a bolt- or lever-action rifle, which I had previously encountered. However, as we all know, "there are no problems, only challenges" (and other motivational phrases). And the emplaced weapon at my lighthouse has been some experience which may help with a Maxim gun. I shall see on the matter.
A SMLE would be a good thing to produce as well, and it would *just* fit into the period I think.
Hadn't noticed what you have at the lighthouse..I shall have to check it out--there other thing about a maxim (along with how they are in use for a very long time, and that alsmot everybody except the French use them), is that its a pretty simple series of forms to make the gun itself. A large cylinder for the water jacket, small one for the part of the barrel that shows, big rectangle for the receiver, hollowed square for the feed block and a couple of angled bits for the grips. The complex shapes are fuzee spring cover and the cocking handled. The real adventure will be the mount depending on which kind you want to try.
I llke the thought about doing the SMLE, such a distinctive piece and it would make the Caledon Militia happy. I was just thinking something like a Mauser that could represent the multiple models that are basically in the configuration of a '93 are very simple and elegant, and showed up under different nomenclatures in lots of places like Spain, Sweden, Turkey, Orange Free State, etc. And for that matter, a plain straight stock bolt gun like that could pass for a number of things ("Looks good from 20 meters on a galloping horse" rule). covercnhuses them
I cast a vote in favour of your undertaking custom builds. By sheer coincidence, I am in the market for a Gatling gun system (gun, ammunition, wheeled carriage with separate caisson and horses, aerial (framework) mount).
A version that shoots bees (as ammo, not targets)? Even *better*.
Go figure. :-)
I would love to see some period pieces from across the pond, such as the very modern Winchester Model 1894 repeating rifle, or the Colt Single Action Army. Say what you will about those Yanks, they certainly have ingenuity when it comes to putting holes in things.
I would think that upwards of L$2-3000 would not be unreasonable for custom work, particularly if you have any doubts about being able to recoup expenses for time spent by sale of the item to others. I am often appalled at how little people ask for custom work in Second Life, particularly when you take into account the value of the Linden dollar with respect to that of the United States. Though there is something to be said for the reward of pride in one's own craft, and the intangible aspects like the relaxation that can come of building something.

ok so i finally realized my job sucks and i need to go to school as soon as possible so i can be done as soon as possible. i want to become an lpn ( liscenses practical nurse) which is only a year long ( four quarters) but im only going to be able to go parttime, because i have to work 45 hours a week, i know so many mothers who do this, how do you find the strenght, im just scared of college, im afraid it will be to much and ill have wasted my money, can anyone compair college to highschool?
working full time/ school parttime, can it be done???
You are here
I used to work 9-5 and go to class 7-10.
And I also took a few online classes.
I work full time right now and am in school part time.
I opted this semester to take 2 classes on line and 1 at school, so I go to class 1 evening a week for 3 hours.
next semester I will probably take 2 evening clases and 2 online classses and be considered a fulltime student, so yes it is possible.
Just an fyi though, I did a year long LPN program, and it was not a program they offered as part time. You may want to check and make sure you can do that program part time. When I did my program, I went to school from about 8 to 4 every day then I worked at nights or on the weekends.
good luck
I was working 2 jobs (totaled about 50 hrs/wk) and going to school for 12 credit hours (full time). I was only 1 semester away from graduating, so I just did it. I felt like I never saw my daughter, but I just kept telling myeslf, "it's only for a short time, then I'll get to see her more." A couple of my classes were internet classes. That helped, b/c then I could just work on them when Katie was sleeping.
I was at college 4 days a week and working 3 days a week. I didnt have a lay in for a very long time. :lol:
I work Monday, Thursday & Friday from 8 to 4:30 and Wed from 8 to 12:15
Then I go to school full time: Tuesdays from 8 to 8, Wed from 1 to 4:30 and Thursday from 5:30 to 7:45. It works great for me and I have weekends off, so I can do some activism, homework, Lyric-Time, Me-Time, etc. Plus I am taking an online class this semester. Good Luck!
I'm only an ally so I know I don't have the responsibility you do but I work full-time then go to law school at night. It's working but I have to study for many hours on the weekend and sometimes evenings. There are lots of parents in my night law school though, including single parents making it work.
Also, I worked as an undergrad and it wasn't nearly as hard as this. Maybe in nursing school you wouldn't have as much homework as law school so I think you should definately try it. I was just re-reading your post. I don't know specifically about nursing school but to me college wasn't a big jump from high school. Once you complete high school college is just the next grade. It's just set up a lot differently.
I also went to school, undergrad. with my two kids. I started college at 18 and had my daughter and went through with my big pregnant self and then did the same thing two years later with my son. I did have quite a bit of help from my parents. It felt like I never saw them (I was going 12-15 credit hours each semester most of the time) but I knew it was the best thing for them. They also were in a really good, caring montessori school and the staff there really loved them (I used to work there before they were born)
Anyway, my point is, that there is definately a way to make it work, it may not be how mine worked out but you can find a way to make it work for you and your family! And it is well worth it (though it may not feel like it some nights when you have to study and take care of the kids!)
Hope that helps and good luck!

Angus here - don't forget to vote in the "greatest goaltender of all time" contest - the three top submissions can be viewed here. * It's not official yet, but the odds seem to be highly in favour of Ryan Nugent-Hopkins suiting up for Team Canada at the World Junior Championship in Russia later this month. "He told me late Friday night, 'I want to play for my country. I just want to play in that tournament,'" Nugent-Hopkins' agent Rick Valette told Sportsnet.ca on Sunday morning. "He wants to win a gold medal. My instincts tell me that he'll play." The Oilers are also reportedly on board with the idea, but a precautionary shoulder exam will be the final piece the team and RNH will need to mentally clear that final hurdle. His agent says the shoulder, which was injured twice last season before having surgery on it, has held up fine in the AHL so far. Bob McKenzie, incidentally, tweeted early Sunday afternoon that RNH's shoulder isn't "injured" per se but hasn't felt quite right this season in AHL. Assuming the shoulder is fine, is it a good or bad idea to have him play in the WJCs instead of leaving him in OKC? Either has its benefits, but, IMO, letting him play for Team Canada is the right move. He hasn't had that experience yet and having already proven he can be a difference-maker in both the NHL and AHL, why not let him soak up the pressure-filled atmosphere created with a medal and patriotic honour on the line? The Oilers may be a team on the rise, but the playoffs haven't exactly been a fixture on Edmonton's hockey scene in recent years. This experience for RNH could prove invaluable down the line when the team finally does begin to play in contests that matter, so this seems like the best fit for his situation. Conversely, I think the Sens made the right call a few days ago when they announced they won't release Mika Zibanejad to play for his country again. Last winter he was the hero for Sweden against Russia, striking for the overtime game-winner in the deciding gold medal tilt. Having played his young career overseas until this year, where he's learning the North American game with the Binghampton Senators in the AHL, it really makes sense to give him that extra time on the smaller rink against older and more experienced competition. That's especially true since he'll have a strong shot to make the big club when the lockout ends. In both cases, with RNH and Zibanejad, it really seems like both organizations are tailoring their decisions to give the player the best chance to succeed both in the short and long terms. Hockey Canada will announce the selection camp roster, which has to account for both lockout and non-lockout possibilities, Monday at 12:30pm et/ 9:30am pt. Incidentally, Hockey Canada's chief scout Kevin Prendergast said in the first week of November that Canada's first three lines are probably set if there's no NHL and the fourth line would be "an energy, physical line." He mentioned RNH as the team's No. 1 centre, with Mark Scheifele and Nathan MacKinnon as possibilities down the middle after him. At this writing Scheifele is tied for fifth in OHL scoring (21-23-44 in 27 GP) and MacKinnon is fighting for the QMJHL lead with 22-24-46 in 26 GP, just two points off the leader with one fewer game played. However things shake out roster-wise, this is going to be one hell of a tournament for fans to watch. * Logan Couture left Genève-Servette HC of the Swiss National League for what are being described as 'personal reasons.' He had a solid 7-16-23 in 22 outings over there. Couture averaged second unit power play time with the Sharks last year but he still managed to snipe 11 goals with the man advantage, which led the team. His 65 points were good for second overall on San Jose and while he may not have been a lock to match or exceed that total in '12-13 over a full season, the 23-year-old is certainly on the rise overall. There's no reason why he shouldn't put up another 30-goal pace and as is the case with most finishers, that shot total adds more value in leagues which count more peripheral categories. He'll be an RFA in 2014, although GM Doug Wilson will certainly do everything in his power to get his young star locked up before then. * Jason Pominville tells The Buffalo News he is looking at his signing with Adler Mannheim of the German elite league as, at worst, a chance to hit the ground running if and when the lockout finally ends. "If we do end up playing, we're probably not going to play for another two weeks to a month, so it gives me basically a mini training camp where I can get into shape and do what I need to get ready when it starts and if it starts." He and his family will leave for Germany on Monday. Pominville led the Sabres with 30-43-73 last season and he actually just celebrated his 30th birthday Friday. He should be good for at least a 60-point pace in the next handful of years and anything the winger collects on top of that would be gravy. He's a constant on the first power play unit, he has topped the 200-shot plateau for six straight campaigns and in five of the past six years he has suited up for the full 82 games. All in all, he's just a pretty solid value for the fantasy dollar. * Following the recent news that Sidney Crosby is getting serious about potentially making the jump to play overseas during the lockout, Shea Weber says to The Nashville Tennessean he still sees too many hurdles for himself to play in Europe. "I definitely want to play, too, but it's harder than you think," Weber said. "There's probably not a lot of teams over there that have a lot of spots for imports, but with insurance and a number of other aspects it may not be so easy." As far as Crosby, I just do not see the upside in him going to Europe to play. And he has enough of a target on his back when he's playing on North American ice, no? Doesn't seem wise to up the potential ante in that area. There was a report somewhere last week suggesting he'd skip the KHL for that exact reason (along with that league presenting a tougher travel schedule), perhaps opting for Switzerland. Even still, if I were in the shoes of a Crosby owner and/or Penguins fan I'd strongly prefer he not play anywhere until the lockout ends. With Weber, the real question for poolies will be should his draft value be downgraded for this season (whenever it comes) with the loss of partner Ryan Suter? I wrestled with that topic briefly when doing the fall rankings, but on the whole there really isn't a reason to do anything but make him one of the early guys off the board in standard formats. He's just too valuable in each and every aspect and while Suter's presence will be missed, Weber is still a stud in his own right and he'll produce. It shouldn't matter too much which youngster they put alongside Weber on the power play. On a side note, I actually tried to search the Sportsnet.ca database to find those rankings, which are sitting and waiting to go if we decide to roll them out for a half-season. If there is even a half-season. But it's been so long since I last accessed that blog I couldn't even remember its precise name, so I couldn't find it. Funny and incredibly sad, all rolled into one. Needless to say, I can't reference exactly where I had Weber. But he clearly fared well. * A scant two Ramblings ago we dove into the failings of Evander Kane's KHL misadventures. The Winnipeg Free Press has two new pieces out on him. In the first, Kane is asked mostly about lockout-related items. While that in itself is a subject which puts most of us to sleep these days – or causes things to be thrown against the wall in frustration, there are some good quotes about how his dad has been a big influence in both the hockey and business aspects of his career. Kane also notes he was 'looking forward to coming back and following up a pretty good year and try to better that season', along with 'maybe playing in the playoffs.' In the second, which is the one I'd recommend if you only have time for one of the articles, Kane expands on his 12-game stint with Dinamo Minsk. He really seems to have taken the experience in stride, which is certainly important for any young player. On the whole, he came away sounding pretty positive. Which is good. What was lacking from his comments though, at least in my opinion, was any real acknowledgment that he could or should have done a better job. Was he actually out of shape, as his coach alleged in the media a few games into his Russian experience? What were the differences between the leagues that caused such an adjustment issue? We've read media and fans' takes on it, but I would have liked to have heard it from Kane's own perspective. The quote which really bothered me was, "You play six minutes a night and they want you to score three goals a game.' Hyperbole. Garbage. Keep in mind this criticism is coming from a guy in me who has been pretty pro-Kane along the way. In fantasy circles I've made no bones about the fact I think he'll be a monstrously strong asset for standard league owners, but I also think he's going to be a huge key for the Jets on the ice in the coming years. He has holes in his game still, yes, but his style of play is one that can and will make a difference. It just would have been nice to see a little more contrition of sorts from him. * A source advises The New York Post that Madison Square Garden owner James Dolan is willing to join talks with NHL players in an effort to end the lockout. The piece indicates one of the critical points there may be that Dolan played a substantial role in brokering an agreement between NBA owners and NBA players that ended that league's 2011-12 lockout last Dec. 8 and allowed for a 66-game season to commence on Christmas Day. So far, the NHL has only had negotiating meeting representation from the Bruins' Jeremy Jacobs, the Capitals' Ted Leonsis, the Flames' Murray Edwards and the Wild's Craig Leipold. Somebody. Do something. Please. * Lest you be worried about the Mostly Millionaires Club coming up short for Christmas cash, the NHLPA executive committee Saturday voted in favour of $10,000 stipend payments going to locked out members. The money comes from the union's general fund. * The Detroit News points out that both defenceman Brendan Smith and forward Gustav Nyquist (playing on a line with Joakim Andersson and Tomas Tatar) have been critical to the Griffins' early success. "Our focus at the beginning of the season was we wanted to make sure that when the season in the NHL resumed, they were ready to be impact players," said Griffins coach Jeff Blashill, a Red Wings assistant last season. "Not to make the team, but to be ready to be impact players. "To do that you still have to get better at a lot of things. So let's focus on getting better at things. They've both showed up on a daily basis to get better. They've been outstanding." * Occasionally even just a tweet can paint a powerful picture of a highlight in your mind... * Speaking of Russo, he also notes Mikael Granlund is likely to return for the Aeros later this week. He's been sidelined around a month with a lateral ankle sprain. He tallied 4-8-12 in his eight AHL starts before the injury and it sounds like we'll be seeing him weave his magic on the ice shortly. * One OHL note as this edition gets set to publish. Alex Galchenyuk with another first-rate 3-1-4 effort, helping Sarnia bring down Peterborough by a 5-2 count. The Petes outshot the Sting 41-26, but trying to stop this kid is proving to be a nearly impossible task. He's up to 19-29-48 in only 27 starts.
