Trade shows are something that a lot of people never get to enjoy, and this is really a shame, because as an attendee, they can be a lot of fun (and a great way to kill some time while still getting paid for working). The people who put on trade shows are well aware that trade shows are fun to attend, too; that's why they have them at the kind of places they do. Places that would, otherwise, be a reasonable place for a vacation or something similar. A lot of trade shows are held in locations like New York City, Boston, Chicago, various parts of Texas, California, and pretty much anywhere in Hawaii (also, for some reason, Cancun, Mexico seems to remain a popular destination for trade shows, though I have no idea why). This serves a two-fold purpose. For the people who are going to the trade show, it makes it a more appealing trip, which means that they're more likely to go and enjoy the experience and thus to come again the next year. For those putting on the show, they're more likely to attract more people,because who doesn't enjoy a tax-deductible work vacation where you get paid to socialize and look at things, and then to spend the night having a good time? That's pretty much everyone's goal for a dream job, really.
Trade shows are either open or closed to the public, depending on the industry and the individual show. The way that you need to set up your trade show displays, also, will be different based on what kind of show you're attending.
For example, every year, guitar companies put on a guitar show called 'NAMM', and this is basically the year's big trade show for guitars. It's open to everyone in the United States, so anyone can come, as long as they can afford the ticket and are willing to follow various rules and whatnot. Imagine it. Tradeshow booths upon tradeshow booths filled with the newest things in guitars, the newest models of the greatest guitars in the world. Gibson Les Pauls, Gretsch White and Black Falcons, Fender Telecasters (not Stratocasters. Those things are terrible. I had a cheap one as a kid, and it completely ruined Strats for me for life), all as far as the eye can see.
But it's not just something that they've put up for you to see, but not touch; NAMM isn't the kind of thing that you would run into at guitar center, where you can look, but not enjoy. They have guitars placed up on racks so that you can play them, or amps everywhere that you can enjoy, or even things like new models of guitar tuners or new cables for getting the most sound out of your electric pickups (yeah, there's not a lot of science proving that the cable makes a huge amount of difference, but whatever, people are going to sell what they're going to sell), and literally every single thing that you see there, you can pick up and play on, at least until someone tells you to knock it off because they've heard stairway to heaven way too much today and just aren't putting up with it anymore. This is the kind of thing that burns into your mind, when you pick up a guitar and play it and it just sounds perfect and feels like butter in your hands.
On the other hand, if, say, you're at a guitar show that is geared toward only the professionals, you're not going to be seeing people allowing you to just pick things up and play them. Used guitar shops have a lot of trade shows each year, where people are unloading things they can't seem to sell where they are, and their trade show booths are very protective of the gear that they have to sell or trade. You have to ask to touch something, and then the dealing begins. There's no flashy booths, no lovely amps, no booth babes, just a bunch of guitars in a well-lit room and a bunch of guys arguing over how much a belt scratch devalues a guitar that is twice as old as I am. It's all professionals, no one outside of the professional setting, and because of this, they're going to be run in just such a way that professionals are able to effectively do what they need to, and the booths reflect that.
So, be prepared to fit into whatever crowd you're going to for your trade show, and make sure you know what is being traded and sold. Also, don't buy a Stratocaster, because they're awful. No offense Fender, the Telecaster is infinitely better.

Careers for Math Majors
Careers for Math Majors
A good mathematics education can lead to a good and rewarding job. Statistics and data analysis skills are particularly well-suited to jobs in industry.
Programming experience is also important. In particular, know standard packages such as the Microsoft Office Package, MatLab, and Maple (Mathematica is not as useful here and is more used in academic circles).
Job ads may not specifically mention math. Look for terms like "analyst," "data analysis," and "operations research." Here are some websites with job ads:
The Mathematics Association of America is a valuable resource for information about careers in mathematics.
Also check the U.S. Department of Labor Bureau of Labor Statistics. In addition, you can do a search at CareerBuilder (e.g. search under keyword: math at location: PA).
Of course, many of you may want to Be An Actuary, and prepare for Actuarial Exams. In particular, you may want to take (and pass) the first exam (called Exam P) before you graduate.
The subject of the first exam is calculus-based probability. BU courses that cover the material on this exam are 53.241 (Probability and Statistics) and 53.462 (Mathematical Statistics). Since 53.462 is only offered in the spring semester of odd-numbered years, you need to plan ahead!

Final Score: Houston 28, Cincinnati 17
Cincinnati, OH (Sports Network) - Matt Schaub completed 28-of-40 passes for a season-high 392 yards and four touchdowns, as the Houston Texans used a strong third quarter to take down the Cincinnati Bengals, 28-17, in Week 6 action at Paul Brown Stadium.
Owen Daniels caught seven passes for 78 yards and two touchdowns for the Texans (3-3), who have alternated wins and losses over their last nine games dating back to last season. Steve Slaton hauled in six passes for 102 yards and a TD. Andre Johnson caught eight passes for 135 yards for Houston, which was coming off a 28-21 loss at Arizona last Sunday.
"Yeah, that's a big win. We came in here against a heck of a football team. We made our share of mistakes, but were able to come out on top against a good football team," Houston head coach Gary Kubiak said.
Carson Palmer connected on 23-of-35 passes for 259 yards, a TD and an interception for the Bengals (4-2), who had a four-game winning streak snapped. Cedric Benson rushed for 44 yards and a score on 16 carries. Chad Ochocinco caught five passes for 103 yards. Laveranues Coles had a touchdown catch in defeat.
"To sum up the day, we didn't get any points and we lost the field position battle, particularly in the second half. We put our offense in a bad position. Just about every possession, we started out somewhere between the 20 and the 30, at best. Defensively, the two scores in the second half by Houston put us behind. We hadn't gotten back in the game at the end of the first half, but we didn't get enough going offensively and the fumbles (hurt) us," Cincinnati head coach Marvin Lewis said.
Ahead 21-17, Houston put together an eight-play, 66-yard scoring drive near the end of the third stanza. Faced with a 3rd-and-9 at the Bengals 38, Schaub dumped the ball off to Slaton for a 27-yard play. Two plays later, Daniels made a sensational one-handed grab in the end zone for a seven-yard score and a 28-17 lead with 2:29 to go.
With the Texans driving late in the fourth, it all seemed to be over. However, Cincinnati's Robert Geathers forced Slaton to fumble and Brandon Johnson was there for the recovery with 5:38 to play.
The Cincinnati offense disappointed, though, as J.P. Foschi fumbled on the second play. Houston recovered the fumble, but couldn't do anything on offense and punted the ball away.
The Bengals took over at their own 20 with 3:37 remaining. They drove to the Houston 26, but Brian Cushing's interception of a Palmer pass sealed the win for the Texans.
The Texans drove deep into Cincinnati territory during their first possession of the game. A wide receiver screen to Johnson on the first play went for 59 yards and put Houston at the 29-yard-line. However, the Texans' offense sputtered after that and the field goal unit came on the field. Kris Brown's 28-yard attempt was blocked by Antwan Odom.
After forcing the Bengals to punt, Houston marched right back down the field with an 11-play drive. An 18-yard pass to Daniels helped set up a 4th-and-1 at the Cincinnati 13. With the blocked field goal still fresh, the Texans kept the ball in Schaub's hands. Following a successful quarterback sneak, Schaub hit Daniels with a 12-yard TD pass for a 7-0 lead with 48 seconds left in the first period.
The Bengals responded with a touchdown of their own to tie the tilt. A 23-yard Ochocinco catch and a 10-yard Benson TD run bookended an eight-play drive that ended with 11:33 to go until half.
On the seventh play of the ensuing Houston possession, Slaton took a beautifully designed screen pass 38 yards for a TD and a 14-7 edge with 7:59 left.
Cincinnati scored a TD late in the half to deadlock the contest at 14-14. A 50-yard pass to Ochocinco set up an eight-yard Coles TD catch with 48 ticks remaining. Moments later, Chris Cocker picked off a Schaub pass. Shayne Graham then drilled a 50-yard field goal as the half expired for a 17-14 lead.
On the second play of the third frame, Slaton rushed for four yards before fumbling the ball. But the play was reviewed and reversed after it was determined Slaton's knee was down before the ball came out. Five plays later, Schaub used a play-action pass to find Jacoby Jones in the end zone for a 23- yard score and a 21-17 margin.
Game Notes
Schaub threw one interception...Slaton also rushed for 43 yards on 19 carries...Coles had four catches for 40 yards...Cincinnati is 3-2 all-time against Houston. The Texans beat the Bengals 35-6 when the clubs met in Week 8 of last season at Reliant Stadium...This was the first time a Houston-based NFL franchise won in Cincinnati since the Oilers were 30-27 overtime winners at Riverfront Stadium in 1996...Bengals defensive end Odom was carted off the field after injuring his left Achilles' tendon in the first quarter...The Bengals host the Bears next Sunday, while the Texans welcome the 49ers to town.

Kaduna, Port Harcourt and Abuja — Construction of the biggest power plant in the North has run into fresh troubles that have forced the suspension of the transportation of the seven remaining turbines from Onne Port in Rivers State to Kaduna, the home of the project.
The project for a 215 megawatt plant is already three years on, having being awarded in November 2009 to General Electric and Rockson Engineering with a December 2013 completion deadline.
Just when the contractors had overcome a two-year difficulty in transporting the turbines with two special trucks imported for those purposes, new hurdles have arisen after the trucks made the first trip to Kaduna last month.
It took a great deal of time to get the government to repair the road and reinforce the bridges along the way from Onne to Kaduna before the trucks set out for the first journey in February, completing it in one week on March 4.
But the heavy equipment may have taken its toll on the 950-kilometre road. Daily Trust gathered that some sections of the road had crumbled and as such the trucks and the heavy-duty load may not be able to run on it smoothly again.
As a result the remaining seven sets of the turbines are now trapped at the Onne Port.
The Kaduna power project was conceived as part of efforts to revive industries that folded up as a result of unstable power supply. Its scope included manufacture and supply of eight General Electric Frame 5 Dual Fuel Gas Turbines in Italy and shipment to Nigeria as well as the design, engineering, procurement of the balance of the plant, installation, construction, testing and coming of the whole project.
When the contract was awarded in 2009, the planners appeared not to have reckoned with nature of Nigerian roads as the shipment of the turbines was done without any thought on how they would be transported to Kaduna.
It was only when the equipment arrived at the port in Onne, Rivers State, more than two years ago that authorities and contractors began to worry about how to bring them up North.
"The turbines are very heavy and the roads are too bad and the bridges along the way too weak to carry the vehicles that will transport them," a source involved with the project told Daily Trust late last year, reported in its December 10, 2012 edition.
At a point, the option of flying the turbines by a special Russian plane was mulled but was this considered to be too expensive.
The Federal Ministry of Works then pledged to fix the roads within six weeks at a much cheaper cost than hiring the Russian plane, but it took many more months for the transportation to start in February this year.
A source told our correspondent that movement of the equipment has now stalled because apart from the roadways that have now developed new potholes, all the bridges that were previously fixed have shown sign of stress.
"Initially what was delaying the turbines was the wheel of the special trucks used for the transportation of the first set of the turbine," the source said.
"When they brought the turbines, the transporter left the wheels in Kaduna because the turbines were resting on them. They have since taken them to the port but what is delaying the turbines now is that the part of the road that was fixed is now bad. This is why some of us preferred the use of the special Russian jet."
Speaking to Daily Trust at the site of the power plant, lead consultant of the project Engineer Smart Ukauwa said last week, "The road failed us at Onne and this is why the remaining turbines are yet to arrive. We are working hard to meet the December deadline. Come back in two weeks time, I will give you good update."
A source at the Federal Road Maintenance Agency (FERMA) told Daily Trust in Port Harcourt that the agency is working towards fixing the roads for the second time. The route, according to the source, includes the Enugu-Port Harcourt dual carriageway, Enugu 9th Mile corner-Obollo Afor-Otukpo-Ajaokuta road, Lokoja-Abuja road and Abuja-Kaduna expressway.
Efforts to speak with the management of Rockson Engineering on the evacuation of the machines proved abortive. Our reporter was denied access to the company's Trans Amadi Industrial Layout office in Port Harcourt when he visited.
The Power Ministry in Abuja, for its part, declined to make comments on this matter. But an official explained the problem thus: "Each turbine weighs from 90 to 100 tons. If it gets stuck in a pot hole, nothing can bring it out due to its sheer weight. This is why it's important that the project team evaluates the roads again and again after each trip to ensure the road is suitable for another round.
"It must be ensured that the fresh bad portions of the roads are fixed for a smooth movement. These steps take time. Since the movement of the turbines has started, I do not think there's any reason to fear that it will be stopped."
In December, Daily Trust reported that the problem with the Kaduna power project is not with the transportation of the equipment alone but also with fuelling the plant.
The plant is to be powered with LPFO to be sourced from the Kaduna refinery, but it was later found out that the LPFO produced in Kaduna is of low quality and could damage the equipment.
"Therefore the fuel has to be imported and brought to Kaduna from the seaports by tankers since the pipelines are also problematic. The plant will require 30 fuel tankers per day to work at full capacity," a source had said.

The E Under The Sun: Jericho Vs Marufuji
by, 11-21-2011 at 12:18 PM (1895 Views)
OK. So I know full well that I said in the last one of these little battles (however long ago it was) that the next one would be Kawada vs HHH but then I got distracted by the idea of a different comparison, I get the feeling the Kawada vs HHH will never get written if I continue my magpie-like self indulgence and ever changing mood, but it will no doubt get done one day.
My comparison's for this episode will be charismatic icon turn quite mediocre rockstar, Y2J himself, Chris Jericho. Heading off against one of my all time favourites, (and possibly my favourite of the past 10 or so years) The wrestling genius himself Naomichi Marufuji.
I'll start this one by stopping you from reading this blog if you are unfamiliar with Naomichi Marufuji and tell you to go away and watch some of his stuff (most of it is in NOAH) as you my friend, have missed out and I now despise you and all you hold dear...
ANYWAY! Straight into the scoring system it is then I suppose!
World Wide Popularity:................Who the fuck do you think gets the point!?!?!?!? I've had to address anyone who may not know who Marufuji is in the last paragraph! Now that he's been on a shitty American version of a shitty British TV show Chris is brimming with world-wide popularity outside of the wrestling business as well as out (although this Fozzy obsession might kill that dead). One point to Jericho.
Best Match: Now this one is a lot harder. Prior to writing this I have watched some matches which in my opinion are each man's best matches, for Chris I've watched a lot of both his feuds with HBK and some of his stuff with HHH, a lot of even earlier stuff and as a weird one I threw in that random match with Yoshi Tatsu off of Superstars. For Naomichi I've been ranging across matches with KENTA, Mitsuharu Misawa, Shuji Kondo and pretty much the entire cruiserweight division of Japan. Even so, I can honestly say that it is a complete mind fuck, but I will still have to give it to Marufuji. It may well be biased, but I was still enthralled in a lot more of his matches (citing KENTA, Kondo, Devitt andAkiyama as just some of my favourites) you may dislike this choice but tough, both men ranged from cruiserweight to heavyweight and I can sit here and say that Marufuji probably did it better.
Time Of Retirement: I explained how this one works if someone hasn't retired yet in the last episode (which you should really look at by the way as every second you don't, I spend crying under a table in PC World), so this one is also fairly hard to decide. Chris for all intents and purposes has practically retired (FOR NOW!) and although he would be remembered forever I can't help feel that if he didn't come back ever again then it is an incredibly anti-climactic way to go. For me a retirement should end on an awesome match where people know full well that this is the last time they will see the retiree and will let him know that it would be a shame so the atmosphere is incredible. For example the actual match was only half the reason why HBK's last hoorah was such an emotional nuke to the heart, the other half was crowd atmosphere, the feel in Y2J's last match thus far is that it's just another angle so who cares. If Marufuji retired now it would have much the same feel (and that is very possible as he has just had very serious spinal injuries). So I will have to give this one to Chris on the basis that he is more likely to be able to come back unlike the injured Marufuji.
Move Set: MARA-FUCKING-FUJI!!!!!!!! As if it was any particular shock, as much as I enjoy him in the ring, Chris is a storytelling man, not a move innovator. When I think of his move-set there is very little that I can think of as memorable (making his 'stealing moves' talk rather ironic really), as opposed to Marufuji who is just a hailstorm of new and interesting ideas. Inventing moves like the Tiger Flowsion and the Shiranui. Score one for Marafuji.
Number Of Main Title Reigns: So it comes down to this, 2 points apiece. I should explain however, that I will be counting Marafuji's Junior Heavyweight titles as well on the basis that the weight classes are far more strict in Japan and thus winning that is pretty much the same as winning the heavyweight belt only of your weight category (yes you may call me slightly biased so I can tell you to fuck off as that is VERY fair, if Rey Mysterio went to NOAH and demanded a GHC heavyweight title shot, Akira Taue would giggle a bit before giving him a shot at the GHC junior belt, BECAUSE THE WORD HEAVYWEIGHT CANT BE APPLIED!).
Chris Jericho has....8! With 1 CRMW title, 1 Undisputed, 3 Heavyweight, and 1 WAR Junior heavyweight belt (yes it works both ways bitches!). Naomichi Marufuji has......4! With 1 AJPW Junior heavyweight belt, 1 GHC Junior heavyweight, 1 IWGP Heavyweight and 1 GHC Heavyweight belt.
Making your winner....CHRIS JERICHO!!!!!......balls.
Do you agree with the winner? Would you like to see a match between these two? Your Comments!

RIP: Mitchell Guist, half the Swamp People brothers duo died, Big B and I cryon May 18th, 2012 at 6:42 am
Swamp people loses one half of their freaky Swamp brother duo…
Mitchell Guist had a seizure working on his house boat project and died at age 48 last week…
No more stories of eating Gar Fish, Squirrels or Nutria
by Mike Zimmer, History Channel Junky
This site is quickly becoming an Obituary page. Yet, it's what's been in the news of late. Sadly, one half the Swamp People brother's duo has died. Mitchell Guist, of the Swamp People brothers who inhabit the swamp and eating it's plentiful bounty in between drinking beer, fishing for Gar fish and finding drowned swamp logs for use in constructing parts of their house, died last week at age 48.
Apparently Guist had a seizure and died shortly there after (http://www.nola.com/tv/index.ssf/2012/05/swamp_people_star_mitchell_gui.html).
Big B and I have had fun imitating the brothers of late, especially the somewhat high pitched voiced Mitchell who was the younger of the two outlandishly authentic swampers with long beards, bad teefs and questionable hygiene. Seriously, talking about any task and channeling those two is a laugh riot, especially in any escapade involving food. Very sad stuff.
Rest In Peace Brother.

Boma-Ng'ombe — AUTHORITIES in Hai district, Kilimanjaro region have banned sugarcane farming along the source of Ngareworikoi River in Mboreni village.
Hai District Commissioner, Mr Novatus Makunga said that the Ngarewokori River offers a lifeline to thousands of people living downstream and should the water source be threatened it will be a catastrophe to villagers.
He issued a three-week deadline for the farm owners to uproot their reeds and render the water source free of any human activity.
People are still allowed to use water from the river for irrigation as long as their farms maintained the required distance from the water source and river bank and those drawing water from the spring for watering their plots have been requested to follow the procedures agreed upon by all the villages downstream in order to regulate the use of water as fears of a drought loom.
Mr Makunga said measures have been taken in order to save hundreds of families in the semi-arid lowlands now facing an acute shortage of water since the end of the last rain season.
He added that before the decision to ban human activities at the source of the river was reached, district authorities consulted with experts from the Pangani River Basin Authority (PRBA), village leaders and local water committees.
The DC also ordered the owners of a sugarcane plantation at the source of the river to stop farming there and gave them a month's notice to uproot the plantation, failure of which legal action would be taken.
Mr Makunga added that a severe drought was looming in the lowland areas in Hai district hardly three months since the end of the rainy season during which some villages had insufficient rains.
"I don't want to see any farm close to the source of Ngareworikoi river within a month from now", he ordered, pledging to assist hundreds of families who are likely to go without water as the crisis worsens.
The DC had convened a meeting of stakeholders, including ward executive officers, to discuss the water crisis facing some villages in the district due to drought and tapping of water from some rivers and streams for irrigation farming by some people upstream.
He said while cultivation at the source of the contested river at Mboreni village should stop forthwith, residents of Lemira and Nure villages should make sure they do not divert water to their farms or homesteads at the expense of downstream users.
The meeting also directed that trees should be planted on the banks of streams at Mbweera village and livestock keepers should stop taking large herds there because they trample the water source.
Due to a possible scarcity of water before the advent of rains at the end of the year or early next year, there would also be water rationing among villages located upstream and those downstream that are often the most affected.
The last rain season has seen insufficient rains in much of Hai district and other districts in Kilimanjaro and neighbouring Manyara and Arusha regions. Already there are fears of looming food shortage in many areas as well as a water crisis.

Oregon Court of Appeals
Brown and Brown
Date Filed:
Case #: A150044
Duncan, J. for the Court; Schuman, P.J.; and Wollheim, J.
Full Text Opinion: http://www.publications.ojd.state.or.us/docs/A150044.pdf
Family Law: When reviewing spousal support amounts in settlement agreements not incorporated into a stipulated judgment courts should consider whether the agreement is just and equitable not whether it violates public policy.
Wife appealed dissolution judgment that enforced a settlement agreement. Wife and Husband had been married eight years when she sought dissolution of the marriage. Husband accepted Wife's settlement offer, though the settlement agreement was not incorporated in a stipulated judgment. Trial court essentially included the terms of the settlement agreement in its decision. Wife asserted that the court erred when it enforced the settlement agreement without first considering whether the agreement was just and equitable. The Court agreed with Wife. The lower court should have considered whether the settlement agreement was just and equitable under ORS 107.105(1)(d), not whether it violated public policy. Vacated and remanded for reconsideration of spousal support and attorney fees; otherwise affirmed.

I love my F6. I have had all of the Fs except the first one. These are my impressions of each:
F2: Best camera I have ever used. I have 2. The only feature I miss on it is auto focus. It has a grand simplicity about it that is unchallenged.
F3: Great meter and very solid. I use mine with the motor drive and the sound is wonderful. It is very heavy though and not good for a walk around.
F4: Very sleek and nice but I did not like the cheap feel and the auto focus is slow. Sold it.
F5: Extremely well made. Extremely everything but unfortunately also extremely heavy and cumbersome. Sold it.
F6: Everything I have always wanted in a camera. Solid F feel, smooth, quiet, fast, lots of customizable options. Pure bliss.

Middleton church offers Christian help for families in crises
© Heather Killen
Pastor Sweis Ubel is serving at Emmanuel Church where he's working to convert once-a-week smiles and handshakes into some practical help for single parent families. For more information, or to register for the Just Me and the Kids program, call 902-825-1777.
By Heather Killen
The Spectator
A new pastor in Middleton is hoping his Sunday sermons will inspire more everyday services for the greater community.
Pastor Sweis Ubel moved to Middleton last year with his wife and two youngest daughters. He's now serving at Emmanuel Church where he's working to convert once a week smiles and handshakes into some practical help for single parent families.
Growing up as the son of a pastor, he never imagined that he would be called to serve in the ministry. He said his dream was always to farm and chasing that dream, he left the Netherlands to settle in rural Alberta.
Twelve years ago he sold his farm and began studying at Prairie Bible College when he was inspired by a call to transform the passive sermons into a more engaged service for the community.
Changing People
"How do you change people from being half-asleep in the pews to being excited about God?" he said. "I was challenged to inspire people to find ways to use their God-given talents to do God's work."
The services he's imagining these days include, "Just Me and the Kids," a 12-week course for single parent families. According to the latest census figures, about 20 per cent of households in Middleton are lone parent families, he said.
Family break-ups produce complex situations that affect both adults and children. This course encourages participants to express and process their feelings of pain, guilt, and anger, while offering practical help through mentorship and support.
Four families signed up for the first session that wraps up in a couple of weeks and Ubel estimates there are as many as 96 other families in town that could benefit from the upcoming January session.
Feelings of Isolation
Many single parents are living with feelings of isolation and a fear of being judged, he says. In addition to coping with the pressures of limited time and funds, they are often involved in complex legal and personal issues.
"Maybe they need gas money to drive to another town in order to see their lawyers," he said. "Life is already falling apart and then there's an unexpected expense and there's no food in the fridge."
"How do you change people from being half-asleep in the pews to being excited about God? I was challenged to inspire people to find ways to use their God-given talents to do God's work." Sweis Ubel
The quality of life for many families quickly deteriorates into day-to-day crisis management. While parents feel overwhelmed, the children also have unexpressed feelings of grief, anger, and a fear of abandonment.
Parents are shown how children will repress these feelings, or act out in various ways. They are also given strategies on how to help their children heal.
"You can see the difference it makes in the children, how they've opened up," he said. "The parents look at their children differently, understand what they are going through and how they express these feelings."
The sessions always start with a home-cooked meal provided by volunteers from Emmanuel Church and then the groups separate into focus groups for children and parents.
Children enjoy a variety of activities and group discussions, while moms offer each other support and mentoring, which creates a supportive community and helps each to feel more empowered.
"They are no longer standing alone, feeling overwhelmed and helpless," he said. "And as a church community we are honouring Jesus by serving as his hands and feet."
This program uses video sessions and group discussions to help families process the frustrations and grief. Ubel says that they are tweaking the next sessions to offer more practical help with workshops on topics such as meal preparation.
The church is also collecting donations for a Christmas Hamper in co-operation with the United Baptist Church and Lord's Ranch Ministry. These hampers will be delivered to families in need shortly before Christmas.
Want to Help?
Anyone who wants to help is asked to donate nonperishable food, diapers, feminine products, laundry detergent, gas cards, and toys for children of all ages.
He added the three most common requests he hears from families each week involve milk for the children, diapers for the babies, and gas to travel to the lawyer.
For more information, or to register for the Just Me and the Kids program, call 902-825-1777.

Calder Quarantines Fourth Barn
Calder Race Course Dec. 3 placed a fourth barn under quarantineafter a track veterinarian determined that a horse in the barn was showing neurological signs of illness.
Equine herpesvirus-1 can spread through direct contact or through the air, which makes the disease a concern where groups of horses congregate. The clinical signs of EHV-1 include fever and nasal discharge, and more rarely, neurologic signs (including an inability to control the hind limbs and tail).
Calder on Nov. 30 placed the barn where the horse was stabled and two other barns under quarantine. Bill White, trainer of that horse, has horses in all three barns.
The expanded quarantine raises the number of horses under quarantine from 56 to 118. The Miami Gardens, Fla., track has about 1,800 horses in its stable area.
Calder expects results of tests on the second horse will be back by Dec. 5. The track will then determine whether to remove the fourth barn from quarantine.
Under the quarantine, horses in the four barns are not permitted to race until Dec. 21. As part of not being part of the general population, they can only train during designated hours. The quarantined horses cannot be moved to other barns during the quarantine.
Calder has begun additional precautions to help prevent any spread of illness, Marshall said. That includes foot-washing stations in the quarantined barns, and extra hand sanitizing measures for workers in those barns.
Calder will not allow horses to ship in for stabling or to race through Dec. 14.
That is the main reason that Calder on Dec. 1 announced the indefinite postponement of two graded stakes that were scheduled for Dec. 5. The $100,000 Tropical Turf Handicap (gr. IIIT) and the $100,000 My Charmer Handicap (gr. IIIT) had likely favorites and other horses that have been training at South Florida locations other than Calder.
Otherwise, Marshall said Calder is not planning changes in the schedule for its meet that runs through Jan. 2.
"We are taking all precautionary measures for our horses, and to ensure the health of the horse population at Gulfstream, other locations in South Florida, Tampa, and in Ocala for our breeder friends," Marshall said.
Calder is working with the Florida Department of Agriculture and U.S. Department of Agriculture in that effort, he said.
On Nov. 30, Tampa Bay Downs said it will not permit horses currently stabled at Calder to be on its backside.
"There are no cases of EHV-1 at Tampa Bay Downs," the Oldsmar, Fla., the track said in a statement that day. The track will begin its race meet Dec. 12.
EVH-1 is a contagious disease spread among horses with flu-like symptoms, including fever or respiratory infection.

Hello everyone! My name is Ms. Rayment and I am a kindergarten teacher at Lancaster School. This will be my third year teaching kindergarten at Lancaster, and I am really looking forward to the exciting year ahead. Before moving to Salem two years ago, I lived in Boston and taught transitional kindergarten for two years, but have always known that I wanted to teach kindergarten. I find this age group simply fascinating! I grew up in New Hampshire, and am the youngest of four children in my family. I love to read, spend time with my friends and family and travel. I also LOVE to hang out with my two pets, Zoey (the dog) and Lucky (the cat)! They have both been great companions this summer!
I graduated from St. Michael's College in 2006 with a Bachelor's Degree in Elementary Education and Psychology. Currently, I am working towards earning my Masters Degree in Literacy and Language Arts at New England College. I plan on graduating from this program in May.
I am looking forward to a year full of new beginnings, positive learning experiences, and great friendships!

Faculty in the Sociology Department share a commitment to applying sociological principles and concepts through field work and research within community organizations, especially those in the Lowell community. For students, this commitment translates into multiple opportunities for hands-on learning, both inside the classroom and out.
Students in Susan Thomson's Social Anthropology and Sociology of the Family classes have joined forces on a project that has blossomed into a new exhibit at the Lowell National Historical Park's Mogan Cultural Center. The exhibit, entitled "Their Stories: Lowell's Youth and the Refugee Experience", features the stories of five students who came to Lowell from Bhutan, Burma, Congo, and Iraq.
The students conducted interviews over the course of two semesters to document the oral history of these young peoples' refugee experiences and eventually created a mural to represent their stories as well. "We did not initially plan on creating the mural," said Thomson, "but as we worked together in collaboration with Kristin Gallas at the Tsongas Industrial History Center, we came up with this idea."
The mural, entitled "The Culture Tree", provides a beautiful visual of these young people's stories, showing their past while also looking towards an ever-changing future.
Diana Regus, Gyu Bin Lee, Jensen Poutre, Nina Petropoulos, Somaya Rajai, Stephanie Sullivan were all students who contributed to the project. The students who were interviewed about their refugee experiences were all participating in an after-school program at the International Institute, which was directed by Dahvy Tran.
"Their Stories: Lowell's Youth and Refugee Experience" is open 1:30-5pm, September 2 through Columbus Day. For more information about the exhibit, please contact firstname.lastname@example.com or call 978-970-5080.
Students Cheryl Kim '12 and Carley Hallion '13 spent a semester working with Stacie Hargis at the Merrimack Valley Small Business Center. Stacie, a graduate of the program in Regional Economic and Social Development at UMass Lowell, explained, "because of the difficult budget environment that most non-profit programs face, it is a challenge to be able to do everything we would like – being able to work with UMass Lowell students through this practicum program is invaluable and helps build our capacity."
The Merrimack Valley Small Business Center provides support and training for local entrepreneurs. Cheryl and Carley were involved in two projects during their practicum experience. First, they interviewed nine small business owners who had received services from MVSBC. They created profiles of these business owners to be posted on the Success Stories page of the organization's website and also compiled a report of important feedback for MVSBC. Their second project was to contact local community organizations and agencies to explore how to better reach potential entrepreneurs, particularly those in immigrant communities.
Cheryl says that she has gained "real-world workable knowledge" from this experience. Both students emphasize that the experience has given them an opportunity to apply the research and analytical skills they learned in the classroom. Carley said she has especially appreciated being able to learn first-hand about the experiences of local immigrant business owners as well as to become familiar with a range of organizations in the local non-profit community.
Anita Saville, Executive Director of Budget Buddies, jokes that her office is a back booth in the Owl Diner. Founded in 2010, Budget Buddies is quickly establishing itself as a leader in offering financial literacy services to low-income women and as an important partner for local community organizations and agencies. Laura Carter '13 and Yadira Simon '13 have gotten the unique opportunity to be a part of this organization at this early and exciting stage of its development through a practicum in the Sociology Department.
One of the tasks of a new non-profit is to document and evaluate the impact of their program in order to be able to apply for funding. Using skills learned in their Sociological Research courses, Laura and Yadira designed a follow-up survey to be administered to program participants one year after completing the Budget Buddies program. They piloted the survey by interviewing a small group of women who were enrolled in the very first Budget Buddies coaching program, and then analyzed the results in comparison to earlier data collected from this pilot group. Kathryn Brough, Director of Operations, was very grateful to the students for providing the time and expertise to accomplish this task that is "essential" to the development of the organization.
The students were also involved in a number of other projects, including doing outreach to find community partners for Budget Buddies and doing research on best practices in financial literacy. Laura and Yadira, both of whom want to be social workers, said that the practicum provided them with invaluable experience and inspiration. Yadira says, "the experience has opened my eyes to the non-profit world and what it's like to work with low-income people." Laura really appreciated that "…this is not one of those internships where you just make copies. We are actually helping them – we have a purpose."

OSLO, March 15, 2011 (AFP) - The International Energy Agency (IEA) is prepared to tap into strategic oil stockpiles to ensure enough reserves for Japan, agency chief Nobuo Tanaka said Tuesday, adding though that the quake- and tsunami-hit country for now had enough stocks.
"They have plenty of stockpiles so we don't have much worry about (the) oil supply situation," Tanaka, a Japanese citizen, told the TV2 News channel during a visit to Oslo.
"Otherwise, if necessary, we stand ready to use the strategic stockpiles, but they (the Japanese) have a very high -- 170 days (worth of consumption) -- stock, so we are not very much worried," he said.
In its monthly report published Tuesday, the IEA estimated that Japanese oil consumption might increase by 200,000 barrels per day if the entire electricity output that usually comes from the country's 11 nuclear reactors was replaced by the oil-fueled plants' production.
Founded in 1974 at the height of the oil crisis, the IEA requires its members, which include most of the world's industrialised nations, to stockpile oil corresponding to at least 90 days' worth of their net imports.
