In order to attract the man of your dreams, Suit Measurements in Roodepoort it helps to dress in a way that honors your beautiful body. When I use the word "honor," I don't mean you should dress like a nun or hide yourself in an ankle-length skirt and a turtleneck.
But you should wear only clothes that make the best of your unique
shape. Too many fleshy women (and there are lots of men who prefer robust
females over skimpier lasses) are currently wandering the planet in
low-rise jeans and tank tops, Buy Made To Measure Suits which results in a phenomenon known as
"muffin top." In other words, they're walking around with a wedge of flab
over their waistbands. Not a good look.
Before you hop on whatever trend they're pushing in InStyle magazine,
ask yourself if the look works for you and your beautiful body. I once
read an interview with the actress Sela Ward, Mens Suits And Tailoring in which she said she
chooses clothes to show off her amazing flat stomach but avoids items that expose her flabby thighs. You see, nobody's perfect!
"Wuthering Heights," I said.
"Really?" he asked. "I just finished Jane Eyre."
And so began a little romance.
Formal Dresses For Men
Still bewildered, I told my male friend B. this story years later. I
didn't understand why this Adonis chose Glow-in-the-Dark Terry over the
dark lovelies in bikinis.
"I understand completely," B. responded. "The beach was crawling with
girls in bikinis, and you presented something else. A little mystery."
"In a pair of Levis?"
"Yeah," he said. "The guy probably thought, this girl is different. I
want to talk to her."
Does this mean you should throw away your bikini? Heck, no, especially
if you look good in it. But the point is, be true to yourself. Dress to
make the very best of your unique and beautiful body.
You'll attract men who are looking for someone special for a change.

Dress for Dating Success: Clothes to Attract the Man of Your Dreams
The term "cocktail party" can mean more than just one thing in our society, so it may leave men scratching their heads in wonder when deciding how to dress for one. It is said that cocktail parties first started during the 1920s, during Prohibition. Because drinking was banned in restaurants, hotels and bars, it was an activity that was only practiced in the privacy and secrecy of private homes. People began to throw these parties so that adults could drink behind closed doors, and they morphed into increasingly high profile events. By the 1930s, men's cocktail attire became stylish and fashionable, although not quite as formal as traditional evening wear.
Today, the same basic rules apply. It is not quite as dressy as formal evening apparel, but it is still a look that is polished, semi-formal and refined. If you received an invitation by phone or email, it is likely to be a slightly more casual event. Conversely, if you received a mailed invitation and the cocktail party is related to a wedding rehearsal dinner or a holiday, it is likely to be a little more formal.
If you wish to go without a tie, it is acceptable to do so. However, make sure to add another element of interest to your outfit. For example, try a dress shirt with a wide spread collar underneath a black blazer. Or, you can even wear a fine weave silk or cashmere sweater underneath your blazer. Remember, cocktail attire should be refined and sophisticated, but not without fun and interest. The main goal of a cocktail party is to socialize and meet new people, so focus on assembling a wardrobe that allows you to look polished but also approachable.

Unlicensed Teachers Settlement Proposed
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) - The Minneapolis School Board has approved a settlement in a lawsuit brought by young mothers who were taught by unlicensed teachers.
More than 600 students would share more than $400,000 to further their education under the settlement that still needs approval in Hennepin County District Court.
Broadway High School serves girls who dropped out of school and then returned as young mothers. A district investigation found 13 people taught students at Broadway without having the proper teaching license.
Superintendent Brenda Johnson says the settlement would help the 657 students who attended Broadway from 2008 to 2011 achieve their educational goals. Attorney Joshua Williams represented the girls in the class action lawsuit. He says the settlement is an equitable resolution to the case.

Industry News
RuffaloCody, a company that specializes in enrollment management and fundraising, has just expanded its expertise in the higher ed space acquiring competitor Noel-Levitz. The terms of the deal for these privately held companies were not disclosed.
This is the third acquisition made in 2014 by the Cedar Rapids, IA firm. In January the company announced the acquisition of ScaleFunder, which developed a fundraising platform for education. In May RuffaloCody bought Buffalo Fundraising Consultants, a UK firm that consults in the area of "regular giving."
The latest deal brings together two powerhouses in the higher ed consulting space. RuffaloCody claims almost a thousand clients among institutions and nonprofits for its services in strategic oversight, outreach and engagement services and software platforms. Noel-Levitz, with offices in Iowa and Colorado, has worked with 3,000 colleges and universities in the areas of enrollment planning, student marketing and recruitment, financial aid, student retention and market research.
"Success in this environment requires a new, more holistic and strategic approach," said Duane Jasper, RuffaloCody president and CEO. "In joining forces with Noel-Levitz, we are positioned to help institutions meet their goals for enrollment and fundraising — and thrive in ways they never before could."
Jasper will remain president and CEO. Kevin Crockett, formerly head of Noel-Levitz, will be president of a new combined enrollment division. John Baird, who was senior vice president of consulting at Noel-Levitz, will become the chief visionary officer. RuffaloCody's president of the Fundraising Management Division, Sarah Kleeberger, will stay in that role.
RuffaloCody expects to make future announcements regarding new solutions and offerings as the services from both firms are integrated.
"As excited as we are about the combined solutions we provide today, the real potential resides in what we create in the future," said Baird. "The talent, experience and know-how in the combined company provide a powerful platform for developing new and enhanced services that will transform the way institutions recruit, enroll and retain students and cultivate alumni loyalty and philanthropic support. We see a wealth of opportunity based upon our shared commitment and philosophy to help connect students with the right institutions where they can be successful and stay involved long after graduation."

Developing a Microfossil-based Approach to Estimate Paleo-Hurricane Intensity
Andrea Hawkes, Geology & Geophysics
Jeffrey Donnelly, Geology & Geophysics
Funded Project 2010:
Currently efforts to estimate hurricane intensity (storm surge and wave magnitude) from sedimentary records of overwash have been speculative. This project focuses on examining the potential use of marine microfossil assemblages in overwash sediments as indicators of hurricane intensity in the Florida Panhandle using instrumental, historic and modeled data as validation. We have identified historic hurricane stratigraphies in coastal ponds (Mullet Pond and nearby sites) which have a high sensitivity to hurricane overwash along Apalachee Bay, FL. A hurricane overwash record developed from radiocarbon dated sediment cores collected from Mullet Pond provides temporal resolution for as many as 177 hurricane deposits in the last 4500 years (3.9 events per century) with at least 8 storms occurring in the historic period since 1851. Preliminary data from Mullet Pond suggests that offshore foraminifera preserved in some storm induced layers may be a valuable proxy for differentiating more intense hurricane strikes. With further analysis of a series of offshore transects we will develop a distribution map of benthic foraminifera to determine the depth and distance of wave excavation for hurricane-induced overwash layers which circumvents uncertainty relating to changes in barrier height. If this approach proves to be viable it will provide essential data on past patterns of hurricane activity, providing a critical element for gaining understanding of the complex array of climate factors that modulate hurricane activity.

The real trend-setter for starting pitcher's contracts isn't John Lackey but Randy Wolf, he of the 101-85 career record in 11 years (basically 10-9 a season), who signed a three-year contract with Milwaukee for $29.75 million.
Ben Sheets, despite his injury history, wants $12 million per season and Joel Pineiro wants a four-year deal with a higher annual average than Wolf. Aroldis Chapman, the Cuban defector who has never thrown a pitch in the major leagues, has a $15.5 million offer on the table from the Red Sox.
Also, lurking are Pedro Martinez, Erik Bedard, John Smoltz, Randy Johnson and Brett Myers. There are three Hall of Famers there, but that's in the future and past tenses. Present tense, well, they aren't much better than whom the Mets have now.
For the Mets to add pitching, their choices are to overpay for mediocrity, or in the case of Sheets, take a health gamble. The Mets are gambling their current rotation will progress, and if it doesn't, then at least they have the economics on their side (save Oliver Perez).
Not encouraging, is it?

Trucks Gone Wild - Hortense, GeorgiaPosted in Events on July 28, 2013
Hortense's Trucks Gone Wild event is one of those places I personally haven't been able to make it out to yet, and I hate it every year when I miss it. I always get texts from folks from N.C. down to Florida askin' if I'm gonna make it, and dang it, I always have scheduling conflicts. Regardless, I've never heard anything but sick stuff about the park and that the place always pulls in a huge crowd. One of my main 4x4cross crew guys, Patty G., went down to cover it for us, and from what he and everyone else said, attendance was beyond epic. —Ricky B. Wilson
Typically every spring Trucks Gone Wild hosts an event at East Coast Off-Road Park (ECORP) in Hortense, Georgia, and it is always a great time. It is located in the southeastern corner of the state and very close to the Florida state line, which makes it a great location to draw trucks from multiple areas. Every year you can easily find mud revelers and racers from South Carolina to Florida in numbers at the event. Another great aspect about the park is that it offers open riding in the mud and around the park, which is what everyone seems to like so much.
The park also hosts multiple events throughout the year. There is everything here too, from mud racing to open riding and concerts. The park covers over 450 acres, and over 100 acres of lakes. It offers miles of trail riding and most importantly plenty of mud bogging for trucks, ATVs, and whatever else can be driven through the mud. The park has all the amenities needed for a good time, such as ATV/truck washes, hot indoor showers, free lakeside camping, and fishing. Lenny Cooper also hit the stage Saturday night and put on a really hot show for a very enthusiastic crowd of mud revelers.
During the day everyone rushed to the mud pit to play and try to show off. There were so many people and trucks at the event that it was rough to get around, but once they made it to the mud pits it was GAME ON! Big names—from Ronnie Bates to Twitty to Clifford Wright—came out to give all the Trucks Gone Wild and ECORP fans the show they deserve.
With such a large park it would literally take forever to walk around and get the coverage that we needed, but luckily we saw our friend Joe Dean the main man at Club Mud and met Drue Holdeman, who toted us around all day Saturday. Don't think when the sun sets the party is over—heck, that's when the party starts! ECORP had two live bands playing on stage at sunset, and the Club Mud boys threw a killer after party till midnight.
All in all, if ECORP in Hortense isn't on your to-do list you better pencil it in, it is one crazy party you don't want to miss.

Quality assurance is an increasingly important topic in assembly. Elabo has developed an assembly system that supports the direct integration of test and inspection stations into the assembly process. Control therefore takes place directly on the spot where errors might occur. The system allows setting up standalone workstations as well as complex interlinked assembly worlds. It is used for manual and semi-automated production.
|Integrated Quality Assurance
Elabo's TaMas assembly system is conceived for integrated quality assurance.
|High-Quality Workstation
In addition, TaMas is a full-fledged assembly workstation system. The product range includes all relevant components, from table systems and service trays via power and compressed air supply to conveying equipment and IT connections with high-performance bus systems.
|Integrated Testing Technology
Upstream individual tests in early production stages can avoid costly demounting and repair work. It is possible to integrate upstream tests into the entire test concept so that any later final inspection will only begin after successful early testing.
Elabo provides an interlinked solution for this. The perfect integration of the test technology solutions contributes to an optimal production flow. Avoiding external interfaces prevents cycle time losses.
Forwarding of products depends on the result of the product test; the time-consuming and costly reworking of faulty parts can thus be avoided. The identification system notes the product processing stage and the test status.
Data detection devices such as barcode readers are used for automatic identification; they also initiate the automatic preliminary setup and/or the calibration of the test equipment. Integrating the test technology into the test line avoids having to transport specimens to separate test locations.
|User Safety
Components for user protection, such as test cages for high-voltage measurement, are an important part of our product range.
|ERP Connection and Visual Support of Assembly and Testing.
|Increased Concentration
Elabo's assembly system is characterised by outstanding ergonomics. This makes work easier for the user, increasing concentration and reducing error rates.
|Flexibility Secures Profitability
The system is structured in a modular fashion. Extensions and adjustments to changes in function processes can be implemented quickly and cost-efficiently.

All forms of prayer in Islam are essentially designed for the remembrance and worship God. However, they also serve the purpose of the building of humanity. In the course of their worship the believers never cease to be instructed in the paying of the dues of man along with the paying of the dues of God.
Salat (namaz), for instance, besides being a way of remembering and supplication before God, it has become a means of establishing equality between people. In congregational salat Muslims say their prayers standing in rows five times a day. Big and small, rich and poor, powerless and powerful, literate and illiterate all stand in the same rows without any discrimination. In this way the simultaneous worship of salat by all and sundry turns into a great lesson of human equality.
In Ramadan (the month of fasting) everyone on the fast goes without food and water from dawn to dusk. A man may be very rich, but he has to go hungry and thirsty just like any common man. In this way by observing the fast in the process of worshipping God, a Muslim personally experiences human need as well. Fasting along with worship of God also makes a man a servant of humanity.
The purpose of zakat, monetary worship, is also clearly the same. Zakat requires that out of one's earnings a share be apportioned to God and given to the needy and the poor. In this way zakat is a form of worship of God along with a form of service to humanity. By apportioning a share of one's wealth to God, man acknowledges God as the giver, while at the same time he trains himself to fulfill his responsibilities towards human beings.
Hajj, too, is essentially a form of worship. During Hajj many different kinds of people come together, but the pilgrims are forbidden to fight. The pilgrim must avoid all friction lest his pilgrimage become unacceptable in the eyes of God. In this way, hajj besides being a form of worship, takes on the form of annual training in leading a peaceful social life.

Room 101 at Chisholm High School is where Bob McDonald says he did his best work. He spent nearly 40 years teaching history and social studies there.
Room 101 at Chisholm High School is where Bob McDonald says he did his best work. He spent nearly 40 years teaching history and social studies there.
His classes in the 93-year-old school building were part history and part life lessons, and he spread his wisdom to generations of Iron Rangers.
"He's like your textbook coming to life," said Mark Rahja, a Wayzata resident and 1982 Chisholm graduate.
"I think my calling was to be a shepherd of sorts," said McDonald, 80. "I always believed that I can do a young person a service by showing them the road to scholastic achievement and having strong behavior. Those are big things you need to succeed in society.
He did a little bit of teaching just down the hallway, too, in Roels Gymnasium — and across gym floors throughout Minnesota.
McDonald is Minnesota's only basketball coach — and one of just 13 high school coaches nationally — with 1,000 career victories.
His team is 10-4 this season, giving him a career record of 1,004 wins and 424 losses. Over the past half-century, his teams have won three state championships and been to the state tournament 12 times.
Last month, McDonald, in his 59th season coaching basketball and 53rd with the Bluestreaks, announced this would be his final year on the sideline.
"The basketball is just the frosting," he says with a shrug. "Now, academics, having a strong moral code and having good behavior, to me, is the meat and potatoes of life. I think every kid has to realize that scholastics are far more important to your well-being than athletics. If you put athletics in the forefront, you'll have a warped kid. If you put athletics first, and many people do, and have the belief that a kid should be bailed out scholastically because of what they can do athletically, well, I've never held to that premise."
McDonald, who taught and coached in McGregor and Barnum before returning to his hometown in 1961, retired from teaching in 2000 but has continued to coach.
These days, he jokes that the school's new media center is in an addition to the school building that eliminated a long stretch of hallway he used for indoor track practice back in the day.
He points to the computers and electronics he sees everywhere and says he likes the old-fashioned way of communicating: talking face to face. He calls himself more of a chalkboard-and-eraser kind of guy.
On the basketball court, his coaching style always has been firm, but fair. He sets expectations for behavior, shirt-and-tie attire, cleanliness and well-cropped hair. For decades, players on his teams sported crew cuts and knee-high socks. These days, it's short hair up top — though not crew cut — and still knee-high socks down below.
"People know the Chisholm basketball team is in the building when they see all the suits, shirts and ties," said Mitch Rusten, a senior post player and team captain this season. "It's really hard not to buy into what he's teaching and preaching because he's had so much success for all those decades. He doesn't care if you're the best player on the team or the worst. He'll bench you or dismiss you if you break the moral code and the behavior guidelines he expects from you. I know of people who have broken his rules and been thankful in the end because they learned a lesson or two and are better people because of it."
McDonald says he understands kids because he's been there — even if it was so many decades ago.
"I know what young people are going through because my life was sort of a mess at their age," he told the St. Paul Pioneer Press (http://bit.ly/1cQBDaX). "I struggled. I suffered. I can relate."
In 1933, McDonald's mother, Mary Perkovich, became pregnant while still in high school. The father was O.J. Belluzzo, her boyfriend and a standout basketball player at Chisholm. The family sent Perkovich to New York to give birth, then she returned to the Iron Range. Her son was raised by his grandmother and later took the surname of McDonald when Perkovich married Ray McDonald.
Belluzzo, his father, later became Chisholm's basketball coach and activities director. McDonald's past has helped shape his message to this day.
"I don't butt into the family situations here, but I know if I can get them into my fold, these kids will have a chance in life and maybe I can do them some good," McDonald said. "All I want is for them to have a chance at success.
"I've had parents come to me and tell me they wish their sons would have played for me. It's not because we've had success on the court; it's just the other things that make it important and special in belonging to a group. It makes them feel good about themselves. Maybe all it takes is a kid getting a rebound or scoring a basket for them to find the confidence to go take on the world."
Life isn't always easy in the Iron Range, where economic opportunity isn't what it used to be. McDonald doesn't let kids use that as an excuse.
"I tell them, 'Yes, you have a tough life, but you've got to come together and strive to rise above the negativity,' " he said. "In a way, society gazes at them askance because of something that goes on at home. We have divorce situations here, and kids are exposed to quite a bit of drinking. We're a lower-economic area. We do well in a sense, but we don't set any examples of wealth and influence."
Rahja, a high school and college basketball official in the Twin Cities, said his life was at a crossroads after his parents divorced as he was entering high school, and McDonald became an enormous presence.
"I was in ninth or 10th grade, staring at the fork in the road and trying to decide which path to take," said Rahja, a childhood friend of McDonald's third son, Tom. "They took me into their home and made me one of the family. I stayed with them quite a bit. My mom and dad were both still in town (and) so appreciative of the McDonald family influence on me. We had curfews, we had to wear hats in the winter and we were held accountable. He was fiery at times, but he's also your friend."
Basketball was McDonald's own ticket to a better life. He earned a basketball scholarship to the University of Michigan, and that kept him out of the draft for the Korean War, a conflict that affected him greatly because Chisholm lost two soldiers in action. He stayed one semester at Michigan before returning home to play at Hibbing Junior College and then attend Minnesota-Duluth.
After working six years at McGregor and Barnum, he returned to Chisholm to teach and coach. Belluzzo, his father, the Chisholm activities director, urged the school board to hire him.
"It never left O.J. that he was my actual father," McDonald said. "He must have spent every waking hour trying to figure out a way to get me from Barnum to Chisholm. It's fate, really, when you think about it. Maybe the Good Lord was in on it, too."
McDonald passed his love of basketball on to his six children: Mike (a 1975 graduate), Paul ('76), Sue ('80), Tom ('82), Judy ('84) and Joel ('91). All six were all-state players. All six went into coaching.
Mike, who played on two Chisholm state championship teams, coaches at Cambridge-Isanti High School; Paul at Vermilion Community College, Tom at Ely High School and Joel at nearby Hibbing High School. Sue and Judy are out of coaching now.
"I look with pride at my children; they are a description of what I am," McDonald said. "If I had kids that were abject failures, I would look at myself and say I didn't do enough and that I was a failure, too. They work with kids like I work with kids."
McDonald said he is stepping down as Chisholm's coach on his own.
"I could have continued; there was no pressure to quit," he said. "I've been around too long for that. I'm at the age where I'm getting spread too thin. I have grandchildren that I want to watch play. Watching them is a primary concern of mine. I missed watching some of my kids. I don't want to miss the grandkids play."
With 17 grandchildren, he'll have plenty of games to see.
Larry Pervenanze, McDonald's assistant for the past 13 seasons, hopes to be his replacement next season and become just the fourth coach in Chisholm history since 1923.
"Even though kids have changed through the years, he hasn't," said Pervenanze, who now runs the popular Saturday morning basketball program that McDonald made a town staple. "That's what's made this program great. Basketball isn't No. 1 with him. It ranks third behind school and family. It's been an honor to sit next to him all these years."
It will be strange in Chisholm not seeing McDonald courtside during a basketball game. He has coached players' fathers, and their fathers' fathers. You would be hard-pressed to find anyone in this town of 5,000 who hasn't been affected by him.
"My basketball journey has never been about the wins and losses," he said. "Basketball was an aid to the academics. It makes me proud to see the life victories and successes of the people around me. The idea that I would think of myself as a great coach absolutely repels me. It's the people I've had a chance to work with. They've been just grand."

Leaked EU Policy Papers Show TAFTA/TTIP's Huge Challenges -- And Some Subtle Signals
from the harder-than-they-thought dept
After last Wednesday's debate, the European Parliament passed a resolution on the subject of NSA surveillance, which included the following mild wrist-slap:
Expresses, while confirming its ongoing support for transatlantic efforts in the fight against terrorism and organised crime, serious concern over PRISM and other such programmes, since, should the information available up to now be confirmed, they may entail a serious violation of the fundamental right of EU citizens and residents to privacy and data protection, as well as of the right to private and family life, the confidentiality of communications, the presumption of innocence, freedom of expression, freedom of information, and the freedom to conduct business
But instead of postponing the imminent TAFTA/TTIP negotations, as some MEPs had called for, it limited itself to the following rather feeble action:
Instructs its Committee on Civil Liberties, Justice and Home Affairs to conduct an in-depth inquiry into the matter in collaboration with national parliaments and the EU-US expert group set up by the Commission and to report back by the end of the year
And so the TAFTA/TTIP talks will go ahead as planned. We already knew roughly what will be discussed during those negotiations, but no details. That's now changed, thanks to the Institute for Agriculture and Trade Policy getting hold of the European Commission's initial position papers on TAFTA/TTIP. These aren't exactly top secret -- the US side will receive a copy ahead of the first round of talks -- but they wouldn't normally have been released, and so they offer a unique opportunity to see the thinking here, at least from the EU side.
In essence, the 65-page document tries to flesh out the general idea of "promoting regulatory compatibility/convergence", which is supposed to deliver all those benefits that TAFTA/TTIP advocates have been touting. But once you get down to the nitty-gritty, as revealed by the papers, things turn out to be rather more difficult. The biggest problem, noted by many commentators, is that there aren't really many trade barriers that can be removed, because trade is already pretty free between the US and EU. That throws the emphasis on non-trade barriers -- things like differing local standards that make it hard to sell the same product in both the US and EU.
But as the position paper makes clear, it's going to be extremely challenging bringing these into line. In some areas, that's because the approaches of the two sides are so different as to be totally incompatible. That's the case for chemicals, for example, as the document itself admits:
Both industry associations and governments are aware that neither full harmonisation nor mutual recognition seem feasible on the basis of the existing framework legislations in the US and EU: REACH (Regulation (EC) 1907/2006) and TSCA (Toxic Substances Control Act) are too different with regard to some fundamental principles.
The best that EU advisers can come up with is the idea of "Promoting alignment in classification and labelling of chemicals", which is hardly going to generate billions of extra trade activity.
There's more scope for compatibility in the area of pharmaceuticals, but even here among the relatively few options are things like "allowing the exchange of confidential information and trade secret information between EU Member States/EU institutions and FDA." Of course, that could be achieved more easily by making all key health and safety data for drugs freely available, as the AllTrials campaign is seeking to bring about.
The really revealing section concerns "SPS" -- "sanitary and phytosanitary" issues. Behind that rather mysterious name lies a huge range of economic activity, including agriculture and food. And that, of course, means GM organisms -- already flagged up as one of the key areas that is likely to be problematic. That's because former USTR Ron Kirk stated quite bluntly:
"For us, everything is on the table, across all sectors, including across the agricultural sector, whether it is GMOs or other issues," Kirk said.
But in Europe, GMOs are often regarded as "Frankenfood", which is probably why the European Commission was careful to insist in its Q&A on the negotiations:
Basic laws, like those relating to GMOs or which are there to protect human life and health, animal health and welfare, or environment and consumer interests will not be part of the negotiations.
However, the policy paper does contain a few hints about how that apparent contradiction might be resolved, such as the following:
This chapter -- as part of the FTA discussions within the TTIP -- will seek to build upon the key principles of the World Trade Organization (WTO) SPS Agreement, including the requirements that each side's SPS measures be based on science
"Based on science" sounds reasonable, but it is actually the key concept that US has been using in order to export its food standards to the world. Here, for example, is the US 2013 Report on Sanitary and Phytosanitary (SPS) Barriers to Trade:
Underlying these cross-cutting SPS trade barriers (and many of the other unwarranted SPS barriers described in section IV) is the disturbingly common failure by some U.S. Trading partners to base their SPS measures on science
The inclusion of this phrase in the European Commission's position paper looks like a signal to the US side that it will cave on GM foods if the "based on science" argument is invoked as a justification -- after all, no reasonable person could be against science, could they? That readiness to capitulate seems to be confirmed by another carefully-chosen phrase later on, in a section headed "Marking and labelling" where we read:
consideration should be given to measures to inhibit the use of markings that may mislead consumers
Again, that sounds pretty innocent, until you compare it with the following statements made by Monsanto. The first comes during its campaign against dairies that labelled their products as free from the genetically-engineered recombinant bovine somatotropin (rBST) hormone when it claimed that:
certain milk labels and promotions that differentiate milk based on farmer use of POSILAC bovine somatotropin are misleading to consumers
More recently, during the heated battle in California to label foods that contained GM ingredients (which was defeated by massive lobbying from GM producers), Monsanto wrote:
Proponents of the California labeling proposal are misleading people about the safety of food in the marketplace, and their opinions are in stark contrast with leading health associations and government agencies.
"Misleading" here actually means "telling people the facts about what their food contains", and the appearance of this particular phrase in the EU document suggests that the European Commission is willing to allow companies like Monsanto to use the same loaded term to fight GM labelling in Europe too once TAFTA/TTIP comes into force. Presumably this will be offered as a concession in return for other items that are more important to the Commission than preserving European citizens' right to know what is in their food.
Aside from these subtle signals, the other striking element in the document is the constant insistence on transparency, as here, for example:
The EU considers that transparency and predictability of the regulatory and standard-setting process is key to trade and growth in general.
For negotiations that are taking place behind closed doors, with no chance for citizens to follow what's going on, or to offer input, that's deeply ironic, of course. We're fortunate that there are civic-minded people with access to TAFTA/TTIP documents who are prepared to leak them so that we can see some of what is going on. Let's hope the example of Ed Snowden inspires more such leaks, since there seems precious little hope of the EU or US publishing those documents, or treating the 800 million-strong public they purport to represent with anything but arrogance and contempt in this regard.

Malloy touts 'common-sense' approach to curbing gun violence
Hartford — Deflecting questions about the timing of its unveiling, Gov. Dannel P. Malloy said Thursday his five-part plan to curb gun violence was a "common sense" approach to an issue that's gripped the state and the nation for months.
"It's been 69 days," Malloy said, referring to the period since the Dec. 14 massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown. "That's a long time."
Malloy's plan would require background checks for the transfer or sale of all firearms, and would ban high-capacity ammunition magazines, strengthen the state's assault-style weapons ban, mandate safer storage of weapons and improve enforcement of existing gun laws.
As governor, he said, it is his job to keep attention focused on the need for gun control, regardless of the prospects for bipartisan support of gun-control legislation.
"I have a pulpit," he said. "You don't have to be a rocket scientist to talk about what makes common sense."
Political opponents charged the governor was grandstanding.
"Even on an issue as sensitive and critically important as gun control, Governor Malloy has demonstrated that he is not above making it political," Jerry Labriola Jr., chairman of the state Republican Party, said in a statement. "... It is clear he wants the headline to read 'Malloy proposes gun control' ahead of the vice president's visit to Connecticut."
In January, Malloy convened a Sandy Hook Advisory Commission to make specific recommendations regarding school safety, mental health and gun violence prevention.
Under current state law, to purchase a firearm from a dealer, the buyer must pass a federal background check, and unless the purchaser is in possession of a permit or hunting license, must wait 14 days.
But Malloy noted that these requirements are bypassed in private sales between individuals and at guns shows. His plan would require background checks prior to transfer in ownership of any firearm in any circumstance.
A permit is already required for carrying a handgun; Malloy's plan calls for expanding permitting to cover more guns, including shotguns and rifles other than traditional hunting or sporting weapons.
Under current state law, there is no limit on the number of rounds that may be discharged from a firearm before the shooter must reload.
Malloy's proposal would ban large-capacity magazines and other ammunition feeding devices that hold more than 10 rounds. Individuals in possession of magazines or other devices with a capacity greater than 10 rounds would have until Oct. 1 to sell the device out of state, turn it over to local law enforcement or permanently modify it so that it no longer holds more than 10 rounds.
Malloy noted that the gun used in the shooting at Sandy Hook is not classified as an assault weapon. His plan would change that, expanding the definition of assault weapons to include semiautomatic weapons with any additional military-style feature, and would ban the purchase and sale of such weapons.
Malloy also said education is key to promoting gun safety. He said safe storage methods should be a required part of firearms certification courses, and informational materials should be included with permit renewal, firearm and ammunition purchases and at gun clubs and ranges.
He also said storage rules should be amended to require gun owners to make their weapons inaccessible to everyone, not just children. Also, gun permit holders, firearm safety instructors and employees of gun retailers, gun clubs and gun ranges would be required to report illegal gun activity.
Gun dealers also would be asked to maintain electronic records of all firearms and ammunition purchased and sold and routinely relay that information to police.

The Department of Mathematics, Statistics and Computer Science offers both M.S. and Ph.D. study in Computational Sciences. Computational Sciences refers to the discovery, implementation, simulation, and application of models to solve scientific and engineering problems. Commonly, these efforts involve the development of new computational methodologies, computer software and/or computer systems to solve large-scale or multi-scale scientific problems that are intractable through purely theoretical methods.
Our program is designed to equip graduates with a distinctive blend of theoretical and computational skills, for employment in industry, research laboratories and institutions of higher education. While the bulk of their coursework will be undertaken in this Department, their research topics may range across the computational aspects of a broad spectrum of disciplines.
A relatively small number of programs with the same overall goals exist in this country. Most have a similar title, although their focus varies, quite naturally, according to the resources with which they are blessed. Nonetheless, each offers students the opportunity to work within an interdisciplinary setting wherein the ultimate goal is the solution of a scientific problem using state-of-the-art computational techniques.
A distinctive feature of our program is that all core aspects of a student's program of study, constituting in general the first two years of study, are undertaken within our one interdisciplinary department. Thus the program benefits from the synergies that result while avoiding the administrative and philosophical obstacles frequently confronted by programs that cross academic divisions. In addition, students that excel in the M.S. program that decide to apply for Ph.D. program and are accepted may seamlessly enter the doctoral studies since both share our computational sciences core. Our doctoral program is designed for individuals of outstanding ability who show promise as a researcher in an interdisciplinary environment. The diverse research opportunities in our naturally interdisciplinary department are enhanced by the research programs of associated faculty on the Marquette campus in the sciences and engineering and Milwaukee area research laboratories and clinics. For a listing of department research and research laboratories, please consult the Faculty section of this web site.
The Masters' Program learning outcomes are: Apply advanced concepts related to discipline coursework to solve theoretical or applied problems. Synthesize research publications in their area. Demonstrate communication skills appropriate for presenting research to peers and interdisciplinary colleagues.
The Doctoral Program learning outcomes are: The program learning outcomes are: Modify, adapt or construct methods, techniques and software for addressing significant problems in the field of computational sciences. Conduct original research that results in a major written scholarly work in the computational sciences. Synthesize research publications in their area of specialization. Demonstrate communication skills appropriate for presenting research to peers, teaching college-level courses, or collaborating with interdisciplinary colleagues.
Admission to the program requires an undergraduate degree in mathematics, statistics, computer science, or a related field such as engineering or an area of science, with at least a minor (3 courses beyond a full calculus sequence) in mathematics, and proficiency in a high-level computer language. Knowing that few individuals are trained in all facets of computational sciences, we have designed our distinctive computational sciences core to provide the breath of background in mathematics, statistics and computer sciences to pursue computational sciences research. Admission to the doctoral program also requires demonstrated promise for original research.
The total program, exclusive of dissertation (12 credits of MSCS 8999), will contain a minimum of 45 credit hours of approved course work beyond the bachelor's degree, including the 18-credit computational sciences core (MSCS 6010-MSCS 6060), and at least 2 credits of MSCS 6090 (Research Methods/Professional Development).
Computational Sciences Core
Twelve hours of dissertation credit is also required. Approved programs of study will normally include 6 credits of courses outside the department and no more than 12 credits in 5000 number courses.
In completing the PhD. in Computational Sciences, students can also fulfill the requirements for the M.S. in Applied Statistics or the M.S. in Bioinformatics.
Under Plan B, a student completes an approved 30 credit hour program of study and an essay. Of the 30 credit hours, 18 are the Computational Sciences Core (MSCS 6010-6060). A thesis option (Plan A) is also available.
The priority deadline for review of applications is January 15 for both the master's and doctoral programs for the following fall term. Applications are accepted after the priority deadline and are reviewed on a rolling basis.
Applicants apply online directly to the Marquette University Graduate School. For consideration, an applicant needs:
See the Graduate School website for more detailed information on making an application to this program.

James Avery of Buckland, Massachusetts, toured his record-breaking oxen around the United States. His oxen, of unsurpassed size and strength, were major draws in their heyday. Here, Avery's oxen went to New York City's Harlem River Park. In 1896, Harlem was mainly populated by immigrants, many of them German-speaking; of them, a significant minority were Jewish. In later years, Harlem would again draw a new group of immigrants, although this new group, African-Americans, would come from the southern United States.

Just a guess though for all I know Pete could of told him to "Suck it up Butter cup."
Shane Falco wrote:Those might have been Mathews final numbers against us, and really that means we did our job but I thought he was a pain in the ass all day long in that game and we were constantly having to account for him. Being constantly disruptive even if the results aren't a tackle or a sack only helps the entire team and makes extra attention needed to be paid on one player.

These bracelets are super simple to make.
I'm using plastic beads because the holes are large enough to string paracord through. Instead of claw end clasps, you can also use round caps.
The charms are also just an extra touch for the ends and are totally optional!
Tool wise, you will need pliers and scissors.
First, trim your paracord. I snipped a piece just slightly larger than my wrist. The end clasps + chain length will also add length, so keep that in mind. I kept the piece a little longer because we will continuously have to trim it.
Add one of your end caps/claw ends. I pressed the claw onto the paracord. If you're using claw end clasps like me, you can slightly singe the cord ends for a tighter seal.
Start adding your beads!
This is what I mean by you will have to continuously trim. There will be fraying due to the beads, especially smaller ones and you will be left with fluff balls.
When you're done adding your beads, clamp on your other end.
Almost done!
Add a jumpring, then your clasps. I'm using a claw. If you want, add a charm to the chain.
All done!

MANHATTAN - If anybody knows first-hand how far Kansas State's defense has come since the spring, it's B.J. Finney.
As Kansas State's starting center, going against a completely rebuilt front seven daily in practice, he has had a front-row seat.
"We do get to see them every day and we get to see them improve," Finney said of a defensive unit that will put nine new starters on the field when they open the season at 7:30 tonight against North Dakota State at sold-out Snyder Family Stadium. "They're extremely hard-working guys, they know the task before them, they have their work cut out for them and they're just trying to be the best they can.
"From the spring to this point, there's been vast improvement in our defense."
That's good news for Wildcat fans who have stressed over a defense with no starting experience up front and a linebacking corps that lost Big 12 defensive player of the year Arthur Brown. Especially facing North Dakota State, which is not your typical first-game Football Championship Subdivision opponent.
The Bison are two-time defending national champions and ranked No. 1 again in the preseason polls. They have won six of their last nine games against FBS opponents, including three straight on the road.
"There are a lot of things that stand out," K-State coach Bill Snyder said of the Bison. "I think number one, this is a faster football team than people want to envision.
"Sometimes on tape you can't really identify that, but they run well. Secondly, they're probably as aggressive and tough a football team as you'll line up and play." Though the Bison were best known for their defense last year, they also return nine starters from an offense that ranked 21st in rushing with two individual 1,000-yard rushers and a quarterback, Brock Jensen, now in his fourth season.
"They're a really good team," said K-State sophomore defensive tackle Travis Britz, who outside of junior end Ryan Mueller is the Wildcats' most experienced lineman. "They run the ball really well and they're pretty good passing, too, so we really have to be on our game."
The Wildcat defense has the added burden of proving itself to a skeptical audience eager to see how it will perform as a unit.
"I think that every defense would have some kind of pressure opening the season and making a statement," said Britz, who will start on the inside next to senior nose tackle Chaquil Reed. "We want to show that we really can compete in college football and this conference.
"Yeah, we have a new stadium and a good opponent coming in, but I feel that it is just like every other year. We'll reload and keep working hard to prove to people that we are a great defense."
Practicing against an offense that returns its entire line, leading rusher and a veteran group of receivers not only has helped the defense improve, but also to gauge its readiness.
"It has definitely helped us grow as a team and as a defense especially," said redshirt freshman Will Davis, a backup linebacker getting ready for his first game as a Wildcat. "There are a lot of veteran guys on the offensive side of the ball and we try to battle every day and we're trying to win against our offense every day."
Britz especially has benefited going against a battle-tested offensive line.
"It's so much help this fall camp and in the spring, knowing that these guys are a pretty good offensive line, maybe the best in the Big 12," he said.
Joining Britz, Reed and Mueller as first-time starters on the defensive line is sophomore end Marquel Bryant. Junior Jonathan Truman will make his starting debut at weak-side linebacker.
Senior middle linebacker Blake Slaughter redshirted last season and was a backup two years ago, but started four games as a sophomore in 2010. Strong-side starter Tre Walker, another senior, started 11 games as a sophomore and four of eight last year before going down with a season-ending knee injury.
In the secondary, senior free safety Ty Zimmerman is a fourth-year starter who earned all-Big 12 honors last year. Sophomore strong safety Dante Barnett started two games in place of an injured Zimmerman last season.
Junior Randall Evans, who started seven games as a nickel back last year, returns at that spot but also could start at cornerback in the Wildcats' base defense. The other corner, making his first start, is senior Dorrian Roberts.
Like Finney, Snyder said he has seen the defense get better over time.
"I see the steady improvement that I think we're making," he said. "Ask me Saturday morning and I'll probably have a little better answer, but I think they're getting a feel for each other (and) I think there's a greater continuity right now then there was at the outset.
"I think they have a better understanding of the global concept, so to speak."
On offense, junior college transfer Jake Waters will make his first appearance and first start at quarterback against a North Dakota State defense that ranked No. 1 overall in the FCS, both in yards and points allowed.

The Persona 4 revival won't stop with the anime and Persona 4: The Golden. Arc System Works are working on a Persona 4 fighting game, development of which is being handled by the BlazBlue team.The game is titled Persona 4: Ultimate in Mayonaka Arena, as reported by Sinobi.Interestingly, it takes place two months after Persona 4 and continues that game's story. The fighting tournament is apparently being hosted by none other than Teddie.Characters that are confirmed to be playable are Yosuke, Chie, Yu (the main character) and…Aigis?! Yes, the game will include characters from Persona 3 as well. Shoji Meguro will be composing music for the game and Katsura Hashino will be directing.Persona 4 G: Ultimate in Mayonaka Arena will be released in Japanese arcades in spring 2012 and will follow on the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 in summer 2012 in Japan.
This is already my favorite fighting game ever and I haven't even played it yet.

Oh, I have found dogs in my kitchen many times. My toddlers and I were almost attacked by one when we walked into our backyard one day.
Our more recent problem is the cat. Once day I found cat prints on my kitchen table as I sat down to eat my breakfast. Like you, we don't have any pets. It took a while before I found out how that happened.
A month or so later I heard mewing in a bedroom with a closed door. We chased the cat out that day.
We were watching tv one night and the cat came in the window.
Tha was months ago. Earlier this week that cat was back, trying to sneak into the living room again. We had to chase him out again.
I haven't developed any sympathies, though. I'm allergic to cats, and not a fan of dogs! I used to have a bird (many years) and I could MAYBE do that again (but only a finch next time; that isn't a LOUD bird that lives for 40 years), and I could definitely do fish again.

This winter, we're interviewing farmers across the country in an effort to highlight both the challenges and triumphs of sustainable farmers across the country. Join us as we delve in to discover what it means to be a farmer in the 21st century.
The Flying B Bar Ranch is owned and operated by the Buchanan Family; Brad, Margaret, Grace and Will in Strasburg, Colorado.
What do you grow/raise on your farm?
Flying B Bar Ranch focuses on raising healthy, sustainable, local, family operated grassfed beef through humane ranching practices. The Flying B Bar Ranch is certified by the American Grassfed Association, and is an Animal Welfare Approved Ranch. There is more about us at on Facebook at www.Facebook.com/FlyingBBar.
How many acres do you farm?
Between what we pasture and the farm ground where we raise our own alfalfa and sorghum for hay totals 1120 acres.
What does your farm produce in a year?
Each winter we process between 40 and 60 cattle.
Describe your local food community in four words.
Vibrant, relevant, caring and sustainable.
What is your favorite aspect of farming?
There is nothing better than starting and finishing each day with our herd of cattle, watching while the herd grazes on our pasture or munches hay we put up ourselves. The completeness of the process and richness of the moment is hard to describe, it's a bunch of work and worth every minute of it.
What did you do before you got into farming?
I have practiced architecture for over 30 years and most of that has been focused on creating healthy vibrant communities. It has been abundantly clear to me for many years that access to local, healthy food is one of the most important foundations for a healthy vibrant community. We made the decision in 2006 to become part of the circle of producers of healthy foods, creating local access to our beef. When a ranch then transforms itself into becoming an important stakeholder in the community, part of the local ecosystem, then we've gone past just raising cattle and putting up hay. I believe that opportunity exists for every local farm and ranch operation to truly share with and support the health and vibrancy of our local communities, and for our communities to support our local farmers and ranchers.
What is your philosophy of growing food/raising animals?
Our philosophy for raising animals is one of respect; respect for the land, respect for our consumers, respect for our animals and respect for the planet. We raise grassfed beef because it's healthier for the families who buy our beef, and it's healthier for our environment. We are further focused on the health and well-being of our animals every day of their lives and have crafted our approach to ranching keeping animal welfare in mind at every step of the way.
Most people in the US have little connection to their food, let alone who's growing it. What do you think people need to know about the realities of farming?
We always urge consumers to find out more about where their food comes from and who their producers are. Ask questions. "Does this producer share my values?" "Do they care about what I feed my family?" We welcome our beef buyers to visit the ranch and learn all about how we do what we do, and why we do it that way. That way consumers can make their own educated choices about what they buy.
Can you speak about the slaughtering process? Do you slaughter on site or drive to the nearest facility?
We slaughter exclusively right here at the ranch. A mobile processing unit spends a week with us processing our cattle. We spent years researching processing plants and working with them to find the right mobile processing unit who shared our values and respect for our animals. Since then we have been committed to only on-ranch slaughter. While it's a tough week for all of us who spend so much time with the animals it is absolutely the most humane and respectful way to process our cattle. Our animals are never on a trailer, they are born here, raised here and are processed here. They experience no stress, no unfamiliar places at any time during their life with us.

Peripheral vascular ultrasound is a test used to evaluate the health of blood vessels. Ultrasound uses sound waves to capture images of structures inside the body. It is similar to the use of sonar in submarines.
The test may be used to investigate the cause of the following symptoms:
It may also be used to diagnose the cause or severity of:

The procedure is also used to evaluate the results of vascular surgery.
There are no major complications associated with this test.
No special preparation is needed for this test.
Gel will be placed on the skin of your arm or leg over the area being tested.
There are two types of ultrasound:
One is a simple one-dimensional beam that detects movement by making a swishing sound. A hand-held device is pushed against your skin in the area being tested. Sound waves are sent into the body and bounce back to the machine. This is used to detect blood flow in arteries that may be narrowed. It may also be used to check for blood flow in veins that the doctor is concerned about.
The other technique makes a two-dimensional image. The ultrasound machine has a hand-held instrument called a transducer, which looks like a microphone or wand. The transducer is pushed against your skin where the gel was applied. The transducer sends sound waves into your body. The waves bounce off structures in the body and echo back to the transducer. The echoes are converted to images that are shown on a screen. The doctor examines the images on the screen. Photograph of them mat be taken as well.
You will be able to leave after the test is done.
30-60 minutes
The results will let your doctor know if you need further testing or treatment.
Call your doctor if you have any questions about the test, your condition, or your test results.
If you think you have an emergency, call for medical help right away.
