This course is a collection of short Photoshop and Illustrator projects and creative effects that can be completed in ten minutes or less. The series is taught by computer graphics guru Deke McClelland, and presented in his signature step-by-step style. The intent is to reveal how various Photoshop and Illustrator features can be combined and leveraged in real-world examples so that they can be applied to creative projects right away.
In this movie I'm going to show you how to take this digital photograph that's captured by Jason Stitt of the fotolia image library, and we're going to render it out as a smoky prehistoric cave painting, as rendered by our ancient ancestors using no pixels whatsoever tens of thousands of years ago. So we're going to start things off inside this two-layer image. I'll go ahead and press Shift+Tab to bring up the right-side panels and zoom out a little bit. We've got a portrait shot on top, and then in the background I've got this rock wall from Stricker, also of the fotolia image library.
So I want to go ahead and apply a few filters to this portrait layer. So I am going to convert it to a Smart Object by right-clicking on it and choosing Convert to Smart Object. Then I'll make sure that my foreground and background colors are set to black and white respectively. And if they aren't for you, then just go ahead and press the D key. Then go up to the Filter menu and choose Sketch, and all of these filters in the Sketch submenu, they respond to the active foreground and background color, so that's why we had to be using black and white. And then go ahead and choose Chalk & Charcoal. And inside the big filter gallery, I'll go ahead and zoom out so that I can see more of the image at a time, and notice that we have three sliders.
Charcoal Area determines the amount of dark stuff that the filter creates, Chalk Area is the amount of light stuff, and then Stroke Pressure is the amount of contrast. So I am going to raise my Charcoal Area to 15 because I want an awful lot of darkness, and then I'll going to tab to Chalk Area, and then I'll going to take it down to one. So we just have a few highlights because we want this very dark feeling to our cave, and then a Stroke Pressure of one is just fine. Then click OK in order to apply that filter, and you'll get this effect here. We don't need the filter mask, so right- click on it and choose Delete Filter Mask.
Now my problem with this effect--what I love about it, by the way, is that we've got these highlights and these shadows and then these gray areas. And we'll be able to drop out the gray areas using a Contrast Blend Mode, as you'll soon see. But in the mean time, I'm not really sure that I think these little sort of diagonal strokes are all that credible. They don't really add anything to the mix here, and they're not going to look right against the rock wall anyway. So I am going to get rid of them by going up to the Filter menu and choose Blur and choosing Gaussian Blur. And a Radius value of six pixels is going to work fine. Click OK and then finally I need to go ahead and render her against the rock wall.
In other words, I need to apply a displacement map. So I am going to click on the background layer to make it active, right-click on it, and then choose Duplicate Layer. And I'll change the Document to New because we have to create the displacement map inside of a new image window. And I'll call this guy "wall displace" let's say, click OK and then go up to the Image menu, choose Mode, and choose Grayscale. And this is a very important step. If you leave your image as an RGB image, then Photoshop only takes into account the red and green channels when creating the displacement map, and it actually makes a pretty big mess of things.
So choose Grayscale, click Discard in response to that alert message, and then finally make sure you've got just the background layer. You should have a flat image as I do; if not, you'd go up to the Layer menu and choose the Flatten Image command. And then finally go the File menu and choose the Save command and make sure the Format is set to PSD and then go ahead and save that document. All right, now I'll switch back to my composition at hand, and I'll click on that portrait layer once again, go up to the Filter menu, choose Distort > Displace. And this time around I want the Horizontal Scale value to be 20, as I've set it here, and the Vertical Scale value to be 10, which is the default setting.
The radio buttons down here at the bottom of the dialog box don't matter. Click OK, find that displacement map you just saved a moment ago, and then go ahead and open it, and you'll end up adding a bunch of crags to her face, so that her face is actually aligning to the contour of the background texture, which is absolutely what we want. That's perfect. Now then, I'm going to change the blend Mode from Normal to Overlay, and that's half the battle. You could stop there if you want to because now you are getting this nice effect where you're burning her face into the background. So wherever you're going to have dark stuff, that's going to darken up the background--in her eyes, for example and then the light stuff along her cheek, the highlights, are going to lighten up the background, and all that gray stuff is just going to drop away.
And we get this very nice effect, but I think it's a little bit over the top, because if this was really an ancient smoky cave, some of this paint would've died away over time. So what I am going to do is drop down here to the Add Layer Mask icon, click on it, and then go up to the Filter menu, choose Render, and choose Clouds, just to crate some random variation in the opacity of her face. Now I want to add a little bit of smokiness around the edges, so I am going to zoom out a little bit here. I am going to switch to my Background layer. I am going to copy it to a new layer by pressing Ctrl+J, or Command+J on the Mac, and then I am going to set that new layer to Multiply, so that we're burning in that background quite a bit.
Now I don't want that much burn, so I am going to add a layer mask down here at the bottom of the Layers panel, and then I am going to switch to my Brush tool. And if I right-click inside of the image window, you'll see that I have a very large brush here: 700 pixels. So it's quite huge. The Hardness, however, is 0%--that's very important. And then I am going to go ahead and paint in some blackness toward the center of the photograph like so, so that I am just getting the darkness, the burn of the Multiply effect around the edges. I might paint up here a little bit more. And if I feel like I went too far with the erasing some of that darkness, as I might have here, then I press the X key in order to switch my foreground color to white and I paint in some more darkness, like so.
All right, once I've finished up-- this looks pretty good to me-- I will go ahead and switch back to the Rectangular Marquee tool. Now my only problem with this effect is that we're kind of losing her nose. The eyes look great to me. I like the fact that they're a little bit diffused and slightly menacing as well. And I can see the mouth just fine, but her nose is dropping away. So I am going to go ahead and select that portrait layer, and I'm going to jump it by pressing Ctrl+J, Command+J on the Mac, to create another copy. And that actually looks pretty good, but that's a little bit too much for my taste. So I am going to do a couple of things here.
First of all I'm going to change the blend mode from Overlay to Soft Light, so we are backing off the effect slightly. And also we're losing some of the color contrast, so that we're not blowing away the colors, we're not ending up so many yellows, for example. Then I am going to click on this layer mask thumbnail here inside the Layers panel to select it, and I am going to go ahead and fill the entire layer mask for now with black by pressing Ctrl+Backspace, or Command+Delete on the Mac, because, for me anyway, black is the background color. And then I am going to grab my Brush tool once again, and it's set to this big, huge soft brush; that's just fine.
White is my foreground color. I am just going to paint in this area around the nose and her cheeks and so on, and that's it--just a little bit right there. Switch back to the Rectangle Marquee tool. Notice this is the difference here. This is what the effect looks like without that nose layer essentially right there. I will go ahead and it "nose highlight," or something like that, and this is what the composition looks like with that layer, and that's it folks. I'm going to press the F key a couple of times here in order to switch to the Full Screen mode, zoom in, and that is a person rendered as a prehistoric cave painting, thanks to a combination of Chalk & Charcoal, Gaussian Blur, a displacement map and the Overlay, Multiply, and Soft Light modes here inside Photoshop.

I've been chewing and spitting out food as a way to manage weight. At first, I would do it every once in a while, when there was a special dessert or something, to get the taste without the calories. Now, I've started spitting more often. I eat regular, healthy meals three times a day — lots of fruits, lean proteins, vegetables, and healthy fats. I am on the swim team at school, so I get lots of exercise. I spit to get the taste of foods — mostly sweets (cake, cookies, brownies, etc.) and bread.
What are the health effects of chewing and spitting? I know it can't be good for me, even though I am getting a lot of good nutrition from the foods I actually swallow. Also, I read online that you start digesting sugars in the mouth so a lot of the calories are still being absorbed into your body without swallowing. Is this true?
- Beth*
It's true that chewing starts the digestive process. Even if you spit a food out, your saliva has already begun to break down the sugars.
People who chew and spit out food can end up with dental problems, including cavities and gum disease. Chewing food also signals stomach acids to kick in, ready to do their job of digesting food. But without the actual food to digest, this may cause stomach problems.
Some calories in the food you chew will be absorbed into your body — how many depends on the type of food, how long the food is in your mouth, and how much you might swallow. What's interesting is that many people who chew and spit food end up gaining, not losing, weight. Why? Experts don't know for sure, but it's likely that people who try too hard to restrict calories or certain foods end up compensating by overeating later. And, depending on how often you chew and spit, your body may not be getting the nutrients it needs.
Chewing and spitting out food is a sign of disordered eating. A habit like this may not sound serious, but chewing and spitting out food can be the start of unhealthy attitudes toward food and may be part of a more serious eating disorder such as anorexia or bulimia.
It's best not to think of certain foods as "forbidden." Instead, eat a food in moderation rather than eating lots of it but spitting it out. There's nothing wrong with treating yourself to the occasional indulgence — especially because you are so active and a healthy eater in general.

Sad Face
I'm reading the blogs and the reviews are not good. This makes me sad considering I bought Korn III and I figured it couldn't be any worse than that but according to the blogs it is. I can't handle a disappointment like that again. I plan to get a Korn tattoo and new Korn hasn't truly disappointed me yet so old Korn is worthy of getting a tatoo over still but I can't take any more bad albums. Korn III was a hard pill to swallow, I pray Paradigm Shift is at least slightly better. That is all I ask.
KORN lll Was like swallowing a lemon, I had 2-3 favourite tracks on that, & I turned my head from them & thought that was the end of them. POTY was great, & I got back in to them( I use love the old DUB-STEP). I think it is a good album, There best since SYOTOS(KORN, WAS PATHETIC,KORN lll Shit as well,& so on). You will make your own mind up when you hear it.=)

A few days ago Google let it be known that Googlebot would now be obeying the new option for the robots meta tag telling them not to use your DMOZ description (should you have one) in their search results. Site owners have been complaining for quite some time that those DMOZ descriptions really don't describe their pages the way they want and cringe anytime one of the search engines uses it over the meta description they themselves have added to their pages.
While it's great that Google is obeying the new option, let's give some credit where credit's due. MSN introduced the option a couple of months ago and I applaud them for listening to webmasters. The DMOZ description isn't a new complaint and Google has had plenty of time to implement an option like this. MSN is the one that did though so let's make sure to give them the credit.
If you're not familiar with the new meta tag option here it is:
<meta name="ROBOTS" content="NOODP"></meta>
Using robots in the name will in theory let all search engines know you don't want them using the DMOZ description. Of course that only means MSN and Google at the moment. Yahoo uses the descriptions from their own directory and not from the DMOZ. Something tells me we wont be seeing a NOYAHOO option anytime soon.
If for some reason you only want one of the search engines to obey the NOODP option you can replace ROBOTS with msnbot or googlebot. I'm not sure why you'd only want to target one of them though.
It is good to see both MSN and Google actually listening to webmasters. I know they need to keep a lot of things secret from us, but not all webmasters are intent on manipulating results. Well maybe we all would a little, but many webmasters do have some pretty good ideas about search and how their sites should be represented. It's really a wonder the DMOZ descriptions were ever used.

Addis Ababa — East African countries said they are ready to send a protection and stabilization force to South Sudan, where fighting has continued despite a ceasefire. Peace negotiations taking place in Addis Ababa have made little headway.
The Intergovernmental Authority on Development (IGAD), the East African bloc mediating the peace talks, said East African countries are prepared to send protection forces into South Sudan to halt the ongoing conflict.
A January deal to cease hostilities continues to be violated by both parties in the conflict.
Lead mediator Seyoum Mesfin said the African Union and United Nations are discussing details on the deployment of this force.
"This force can also protect important installations, such as oil, the oil installations, which is the main stay of the economy of the country. The parties would be tempted to fight in control of these resources, and if this is protected by this force that definitely it will further stabilize the situation in South Sudan," said Seyoum.
Five countries have said they are willing to contribute troops: Ethiopia, Kenya, Rwanda, Djibouti and Burundi.
Uganda had deployed troops shortly after the start of fighting in December. Their presence was condemned by anti-government forces and the international community. IGAD said Uganda has agreed to a phased withdrawal, something that was already mentioned in January truce agreement.
Seyoum said IGAD is currently discussing how many troops are needed and what their mandate will be.
"The size of this force that will be deployed, is very small, so to compare with UN-missions sent to such areas. The reason is we want to make it cost-effective and affordable for the international community to sustain this mission," said Seyoum.
Both the African Union and the United Nations will have to approve the final plan before deployment will begin.
Fighting broke out in South Sudan mid-December amid a political conflict between President Salva Kiir and his former vice president Riek Machar.
IGAD is planning to hold a high-level summit on the situation in Ethiopia before South Sudan peace talks resume on the 20th of March.

FOX renews 'Sleepy Hollow' for Season 2Add to Favorites | Sleepy Hollow
Ichabod Crane better get used to life in the 21st century, since he's sticking around for another year.
FOX has renewed "Sleepy Hollow" for a second season, the network announced on Thursday (Oct. 3).
"The show has proven to be a risk well worth taking -- it's a conceptual blast unlike anything else on television and it all holds together with inventive writing and a fantastic cast," Kevin Reilly, Chairman of Entertainment at Fox, says. "I can't wait for fans to experience what else is in store for this fall and even more of this wild ride into Season 2."
The 13-episode second season renewal will take the place of a back nine pickup, meaning Season 1 will only consist of 13 episodes. The new episodes will air next year.
The "Sleepy Hollow" series premiere earned a 5.0/13 rating and drew 13.6 million viewers total, making it Fox's most successful fall drama premiere since the debut of "24" in November 2001.
Are you glad "Sleepy Hollow" will ride again for a new season?

so… i ran my page through YSlow and it told me to gzip two css files and one javascript file.
i guess most of the files are taken care of.
i've got the .htaccess from the latest html5boilerplate so it should be up to snuff, no?
as i understand of reading in the file, is that AddOutputFilterByType, or something, looks for (for example) type="text/css" in the <link>-tag of a page. is it so?
do i do wrong with not using the type="" in my tag?
should be ok with just rel="" and href="" in html5.
*me brainstorming out loud, looking for answers*
Here is how I did it http://www.visibilityinherit.com/code/yslow-&-google-page-speed-htaccess-code-how-to-speed-up-your-website.php
now that looks like just what i need. tnx, eric!
(i'll set this discussion to solved when i've tried things out.)
No it doesent get it from

Although your brain might be clueless, the rest of your body knows hyaluronic acid very well - that's because it's a large component of connective tissues and skin cells and it can hold on to more water than any other molecule in the body. This compound is especially important in places that aren't reached by your blood supply - like cartilage, which counts on hyaluronic acid to maintain a consistent level of lubrication.
Because it acts as a "space filler" to cushion and hydrate body tissues, hyaluronic acid supplements are often utilized for their potential to support joint comfort and mobility. Many hyaluronic acid supplements contain additional ingredients to support healthy joints, including collagen and chondroitin sulfate.
Hyaluronic acid is also a common ingredient in skin moisturizers and anti-aging products, due to its ability to promote moisture retention, collagen production and elasticity. Topical hyaluronic acid products may help diminish the appearance of stubborn fine lines and wrinkles.

Vote Barr 2012 To the Youth of America
Well put.
When you think about it, who else in TV herstory has ever been considered a Universal (Badass) Mom the way Roseanne has. Me and my bioMom, (now deceased) would watch The R show on occasion together. I was hard partying back then, and never around. She watched it every week, loving the realness of The Connors, their funky decor, and the fact that the Mom(R) was big, ballsy,working class and loud! Back in my moms day, that was unheard of. She was raised severely Catholic, repressed as fuck.Seen and not heard. Cleaning was what her Mom made her do, all weekend, Till school came round again. ( I digress) When Womens Lib and the ERA was almost passed, my moms political interests were awakened, and she became liberated, much to my Dads dismay. She came alive, with her copy of Ourbodies ourselves, her copy of Free to Be You and Me, and her modpodged plaque she hung that had Holly Hobby saying "Screw Housework". Mary B was stoked that things were a changing. Then we know what happened. ERA was defeated largely by women voting against their own
sisters, egged on by the likes of Phyllis Schafly(sp?)
and other Satanic Bitches. Next, the women of the
feminist movement were split by accusations of Internal
Racism.Dark Days followed, where the gains that were made were almost obliterated by hate and the division it begets. When Roseanne came on in the late 80s, My Mom saw those feminist ideals again embodied in this fierce, factory working Big Mama. My Mom had a friend and a Soul Sister in R.Conner, when times were tough. Mary B. died of Breast Cancer in 1995, so she never
sawthe last seasons. She would be blown away today byyour Presidential Run, and the fact that you still are the ballsy, outspoken, Voice of Liberated Women,
Feminists and free thinkers of all races, genders and
classes. Thanks for being there for my Mom then, and
for LJG and her gen-x now. Not meaning to omit all
the others (gen-y,gen-z and the millenials) who are
meeting the Connors in syndication now!
The youth are the ones who can change the world, more then any of us.
Love your message Roseann
Whatever you need.
Love how/what you are saying-split screen is very cool too!

General Questions
General Questions
Obesity is cause by a multitude of factors. If you have obesity in your family, your chances of becoming obese are increased. If you consume a high calorie diet full of processed foods and high in fat, you are very likely to become overweight or obese. Lack of exercise, a sedentary lifestyle also contribute significantly to the development of obesity. Some studies indicate that environmental factors such as pesticides and pollutants increase the likelihood of obesity. Evidence also suggests that obesity causes biological changes in our body that render us more susceptible to fat accumulation and further weight gain.
You are a candidate for surgery if you:
= are 100 pounds or more overweight
= Have a body mass index (BMI) of 35 or higher AND two or more obesity related diseases (co-morbidities) such as Type II diabetes, high cholesterol, high blood pressure or sleep apnea.
= Have a BMI of 40 or higher with or without co-morbidities
= Are unable to achieve a healthy body weight for a sustained period time through medically supervised dieting.
Use our BMI calculator (click here)
Obesity becomes "morbid" when it significantly increases the risk of one or more obesity related health conditions (co-morbidities) or serious diseases that result in physical disability or even death According to the National Institutes of Health, morbid obesity is a serious chronic disease, meaning that its symptoms build slowly over an extended period of time.
Individuals with clinically severe or morbid obesity are generally resistant to long-term weight loss by conventional therapies such as diet, behavior modification, exercise and pharmaceuticals. According to the National Institutes of Health surgery is the only consistent way to lose a significant amount of weight and keep it off.
Yes. If your BMI > 30 you are at 70% increased risk of coronary artery disease, which leads to heart attacks. Your also have a 75% greater risk of stroke and a 400% greater risk for developing diabetes than someone whose BMI is < 30.
Diseases caused by obesity are called co-morbidities. Below is a list of SOME of those diseases and conditions brought on by obesity: diabetes, hypertension, gastric reflux, heart diseasse, enlarged heart, asthma, sleep apnea, blood clots in the legs which can travel to the lungs, depression, gallstones, liver disease called non-alcoholic steatohepatitis or non-alcoholic fatty liver, infertility and polycystic ovarian syndrome, chronic back pain, arthritis, immobility, ulcers on the skin called venous stasis ulcers, high cholesterol and dyslipidemia, urinary incontinence, cancers: esophageal, breast, ovarian, cervical, uterine, prostate, and colon.
All patients are on a liquid diet with protein supplements and vitamin therapy immediately after surgery. As you are able to tolerate more solid foods, you can advance your diet. Eventually, everyone is able to eat normal foods again, in much smaller portions. How soon this happens, is determined by the surgical procedure you have and how quickly your body recovers. Usually Laparoscoic Adjustable Gastric Band patients are eating solid food within 3-4 weeks, and bypass patients within 3-4 months. Sleeve patients usually mimic bypass patients with their diet progression. You will receive your specific diet information when you attend the pre-operative consults.
Weight loss results vary from patient to patient, and the amount of weight you lose depends on several things: The type of surgery that you have, your adherence to the nutritional guidelines, exercise, and follow-up. Laparascopic gastric bypass patients can expect to lose as much as 70% of their excess body weight in the first year if they follow the guidelines for nutrition and exercise, and attend all their follow-up appointments. Laparascopic Gastric Band patients can expect to lose the same amount of weight, 3-5 years after surgery, if the follow the guidelines and attend their follow-up appointments. Laparascopic Gastric Sleeve patients have results very similar to the bypass patients.
Obesity is a progressive disease and causes biological changes within the body that increase the risk for weight regain. This is why individuals who go on diets generally regain all of their weight loss. Some weight regain can occur with time for individuals who do not appropriately utilize their surgical tool and those who fail to practice lifestyle changes important for weight maintainence. In a small number of patients, weight regain is the result of problems with the surgical tool such as an increase in pouch or stoma size for individuals having gastric bypass. This incidence is significantly less with patients who receive "micro" pouches; the 3-4 ounce pouch is the only surgical technique used by Dr. Weiss and Dr. Smith.

One Lesson of the Impeachment of William Jefferson Clinton
The middle names we have are, as a rule,
Obscure, pretentious, odd or just not cool.
So someone named John Bloomingblaise McGill
Will say, "Just call me John." And most folks will.
Or even Jack. To them it's all the same.
But get impeached, they'll use that middle name.
No matter if it's Braithwaite, say, or Percy.
They're likely to repeat it without mercy.
The talking heads will spread it wide and far,
And sound more pompous even than they are.
So run, you guys named Tom or Bob or Mike.
And if you win, do anything you like.
Yes, you can stray or lie or cheat or steal,
Or you can undermine the public weal.
Remember, though, before you touch that dame,
If you're impeached, they'll use your middle name.

Sodium fluoroacetate is used as a rodenticide. Farmers and graziers use the poison to protect pastures and crops from various herbivorous mammals. It is used in New Zealand to control the Common Brushtail Possum , while in the United States it is used to kill coyotes. Other countries using 1080 include Australia, Mexico and Israel.
Western Shield is a recent project to boost populations of endangered mammals in south-west Australia. The project is to drop Sodium fluoroacetate baited meat from helicopters or light aircraft to kill predators. Wild dogs and foxes will readily eat the baited meat. Cats pose a greater difficulty as cats aren't interested in already dead animals. Recently a pilot tried putting small sound generators inside the baits with significant positive results. However, an Australian RSPCA commissioned study criticized 1080 calling it an inhumane killer.
Species have different susceptibility to sodium fluoroacetate due to metabolic differences. The New Zealand Food Authority established lethal doses for a number of species. Dogs, cats and pigs appear to be the species most susceptable to poisoning.
Symptoms in domestic animals vary: dogs tend to show nervous system signs such as convulsions and uncontrollable running, whilst large herbivores such as cattle and sheep more predominantly show cardiac signs.
Sub-lethal doses of sodium fluoroacetate may cause damage to tissues with high energy needs — in particular, the brain, gonads, heart, lungs and fetus. Sub-lethal doses are typically completely metabolised and excreted within four days.
In clinical cases, use of muscle relaxants, anti-convulsants, mechanical ventilation and other supportive measures may all be required. Few animals or people have been treated successfully after significant sodium fluoroacetate ingestions.

Eight Peace Corps Volunteers have been commissioned by the United States Ambassador to Liberia, ready to take up duties in southeast Liberia. The ceremony was held in the multipurpose room at the United States Embassy near Monrovia by Ambassador Deborah Malac, who disclosed that the Peace Corps Volunteers will take up duties in River Cess, Sinoe, Grand Kru, Maryland and River Gee counties, respectively.
The Peace Corps Volunteers include, Kendra Gray, Sara "Rivka" Rocchio, Daniel and Tina Barbasch. Others are Jose Lujan Joshua, West Zachary Parker and Colin Gettle. The ambassador said, the Peace Corps is one of the best and most effective ways to demonstrate the United States' values, and shared commitment to peace, friendship and progress in Liberia.
"I am especially proud of Peace Corps Liberia's role in the education sector, providing critical Math and Science education to the next generation of Liberians. I also want to thank Her Excellency, President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, and her government for their very strong support of Peace Corps since it returned to Liberia," Ambassador Malac pointed out.
She said the Peace Corps will work alongside Liberians, who have shown amazing resilience and remarkable commitment to their country's reconstruction. "You will take pride as you join them in that effort. For many Liberians in small towns and villages, the return of Peace Corps Volunteers is a real symbol of the return of peace," Ambassador Malac smilingly noted.
Also speaking during the ceremony, Mr. Vincent Groh said the Peace Corps' primary focus in Liberia is secondary education with most volunteers serving as Math, Science and Language Arts instructors in public junior and senior high schools.
He added that the Peace Corps is proud to play a central role in the reconstruction of Liberia's public high schools, and is motivated to assisting the country in creating its next generation of leaders. For the 2011-2012 school years, Peace Corps has more than 35 teachers in 24 high schools in nine of Liberia's 15 counties.
"Both parents and students are enthusiastic about American Volunteers living and teaching in their rural communities, and Peace Corps is working to expand the program to reach more high schools and more students," he stated.
Liberia's Vice President Joseph Boakai, who graced the occasion, said the coming of the Peace Corps is timely and will buttress government's effort in the educational sector.
Vice President Boakai, who noted that he himself benefited from the Peace Corps during his childhood days, maintained that Liberians will give the volunteers warm reception and they (Peace Corps) will also learn from the community dwellers.

(Greenfield, MA) – A proposal to take the police and fire chief's position out of Civil Service will be the focus of a Greenfield Town Council Subcommittee hearing tonight. The council's subcommittee on Community Relations and Education will meet at 6:30 at the Main Street planning offices to allow the public a chance to comments on Mayor Bill Martin's request for special legislation to change the police and fire chiefs from Civil Service to at-will appointees. The change is being opposed by members of both departments. The full council will vote on the request at its October meeting.

Join the breathtaking expedition to the Nile with latest Omnimax Show
From next Wednesday (February 1) until July 31, the Hong Kong Space Museum will stage the latest Omnimax Show "Mystery of the Nile", a breathtaking new cinematic adventure documenting one of the greatest expeditions in modern times with the first full descent of the world's greatest and deadliest river - the Nile.
Audiences will join the team of explorers to make their way 5,200 km along the Blue Nile and the Nile to the Mediterranean Sea. The journey traversed three countries in some of the world's remotest regions - Ethiopia, Sudan and Egypt. During the 114-day trip, members of the team faced the most unforgettable challenges such as deadly crocodiles and hippos, the world's most dangerous whitewater rapids, gunfire from bandits, malaria, and temperatures topping 48°C. They also visited some of the isolated ancient cities on their way.
Africa's greatest secret for thousands of years lies in the source of the world's longest river. Unique among the world's river, the Nile is the most important river on earth as it gives life to the first great civilisation.
Eight thousand years ago, farmers diverted water from the Nile to irrigate their crops and made the desert bloom. Without the Nile, there would be no great pyramids, no advanced civilisation with all its innovations in language, art and astronomy. The main source of the Nile is in the rugged highlands of Ethiopia while more than 80% of its water comes from Ethiopia's Blue Nile and its tributaries.
The exploration team first arrived Ethiopia along the Blue Nile where they visited the 1,600-year-old holy city of Lalibela and a church chiselled out of one giant block of stone. It is said that hidden in these stone churches is the Arc of the Covenant which contains the tablet engraved with the Ten Commandments.
Following the river, the team arrived at Sudan. Cloaked in secrecy behind the veil of Islam, Sudan is the most mysterious country on the Nile. The temperature in Sudan can be as extremely high as 115 degrees in the shade and huge windstorms appear suddenly. Though war and violence are widespread in Sudan, its people are friendly and the scenery of this lost kingdom is breathtaking, including the ancient city of Meroe – one of the Nile's best kept secrets.
Reaching Cairo, the capital of Egypt, was a milestone for the explorers. The city's beautiful scenery appeared almost like a fabulous mirage to the team as they had seen only sand dunes and mud huts for a few months during the trip.
Photographed in the world's largest and most evocative motion picture format, this film will take viewers to experience the dangerous expedition to the Nile and reveal the beauty and wonder of the magnificent Nile region.
The 47-minute Omnimax Show "Mystery of the Nile" will be screened daily at 1.30pm, 5pm and 8.30pm at the museum's Stanley Ho Space Theatre. The Space Museum is closed on Tuesdays (except public holidays).
Tickets are available at the Space Museum Box Office and at all URBTIX outlets for $24 (front stalls) and $32 (stalls). Full-time students, senior citizens and people with disabilities will receive a half-price concession.
The Space Museum is located at 10 Salisbury Road, Tsim Sha Tsui, Kowloon. For further information, call 2721 0226 or visit the website at

columnBy Kae Matundu-Tjiparuro
Article Views (non — ONE in three families in the capital lives in shacks with an estimated 30 000 people in the capital living in such conditions. There is no doubting that these unsavoury housing conditions are replicated all over the country, in other cities and towns. With the capital only taking the lead in this regard having to absorb the heaviest of the urban influx burden that many a city and town has been experiencing since independence, partly a factor of the many liberties brought about by the newly-won freedom and independence in 1990, among them the freedom of movement heralded by the scrapping of the notorious pass laws which restricted the movement of especially Africans.
This acute housing backlog is a situation that the incoming liberating authorities had all along been aware of. And various mechanisms have been put in place, among them the national action plans dating back to 1996.
Fact remains that the situation, 22 years after, remains very much unabated. It may not as yet represent or be seen to represent a crisis, but surely the need for shelter in Namibia, if not addressed head on and by all and sundry, shall soon culminate in a crisis. In fact if one looks at the rate at which makeshift housing structures have been mushrooming, a factor of urban influx which seems to be outpacing the rate at which our towns and cities are capable and able to respond to the growing need for services, soon we may be sitting on a social time bomb. That is if we are not already sitting on it.
Albeit the recent research by the FNB, the situation has deteriorated drastically since independence when only four percent of the capital's residents had to resort to shacks as shelter or their homes. One needs not look any further than the growing daily struggle in which fellow citizens are and have been engaged, if not to acquire a plot for a shelter, having to wrangle with the authorities out to dismantle shelters that they have set up, and which are the only form of housing most, if not the majority of people in Namibia, can afford.
This group of the wretched is not necessarily those down on the socio-economic ladder but it is increasingly becoming apparent that few can afford a decent shelter, and rather than such a decent shelter being a basic need, for most Namibians it is apparent that it is more a luxury than a basic need.
As instructive as the FNB research may be, one only wonders whether it would be of any consequence. This is in view of the given seemingly usual complacency of our policy makers, or rather seeming inability, despite being aware of the situation.
One is reminded not long ago of a conference under the auspices of our national housing authority, the National Housing Enterprise (NHE), which I believe, must have been prompted by the acute housing shortage in the country, and the housing backlog that the country inherited at independence in 1990.
Also towards the end of last year during the nationwide stay-away from school by teachers in protest against their pitiful working conditions, including low salaries, this reality was once again visited upon the nation. It emerged that the hostel of the Augustineum Secondary School in Windhoek had become, as of necessity, a teacher's squatter dormitory of some sort. But the Augustineum's anecdotal evidence, and others aside, the FNB this week once again visited upon the nation this harsh reality of the nation's housing situation. And the picture is not reassuring at all, to say the least.
Not that little has been done since independence to reverse, or let alone arrest the situation. Since independence we have seen to two national plans of action on housing, one from 1996 to 1999, and the other from 1999 to 2000. And the objectives and goals therein could not have been more noble.
In the spirit of the Habitat II Agenda, the plans have been striving towards "full and progressive realisation of the right to adequate housing", and "sustainable human settlements".
A few years down the line the good intentions, as well as the government walking the talk, by committing 30 million Namibian dollars towards the National Housing Enterprise (NHE)'s endeavours in low-cost housing, amongst others, the situation nevertheless had been seeming far from being arrested. "The increased delivery rate however remains concentrated in the middle to upper price segments, which to date only accounts for about 7% of the national housing backlog," the recent FNB housing price index study states, pointing out the national hosing backlog as currently standing at 110,000 most of them hopefuls living in shacks.
This is the housing backlog situation. It is not so much what it appears because of political inaction, lack of resources or what-have-you as much as resources are finite. But it represents a complex housing shortage situation in the country.
One aspect of this complexity, has been the dearth of serviceable land in the urban areas, a situation that has been exacerbated by rapid urban influx. But wherever the finger may point, the fact remains that housing shortage remains as acute a problem today 22 years after independence as 22 years ago when the government realised the acute situation it had inherited.
The most worrying aspect is that the pace, if not the will, to in the least arrest the situation, seems alarmingly slow. It is also saddening that among the affected are people providing essential services like members of the police force and teachers and also other civil servants who cannot afford decent shelter other than shacks.
As much the FNB forecast for the future is positive, the situation for now, and the three years to come shall remain dire. What kind of pride do we instill in our civil servants if we force them to live in shacks? Your guess is as good as mine!

I agree. V5R4 was the longest supported release in history. Much longer
than the last CISC release - V3R2. That had to have been harder, because
it was definitely a hardware upgrade also.

Speaking at a Ruiru Hotel yesterday, Kiambu County Party Chairman David Mbugua, Secretary John Waweru and Women leader Margret Muriuki said that Nyanja has not joined the party and that they only have one governor aspirant Bedan Mbugua.
Mbugua said that they cannot welcome Nyanja unless he is subjected to a 'serious' vetting procedure due to his past allegation of violence.

Football: Sam Houston stays humble despite surprising 2-0 start
By Jeff Jenkins | September 11, 2012
Photo By Karen WarrenHead coach Rodney Dotson, left, greets Johnny Robinson, quarterback for Sam Houston High School, Wednesday, Nov. 12, 2008, in Houston. The Fightin' Tigers of Sam Houston High School hadn't won a game in five years when quarterback Johnny Robinson joined the team in August. But that didn't surprise him: a Hurricane Katrina evacuee, he knows the world can be harsh. And he wasn't surprised that his offensive line often left him unprotected. He's used to that, too. After relocating the family to Houston, his own mother moved back to New Orleans, leaving him and a teenage sister to fend for themselves. But this year, things have been turning around in Johnny's life, and people have been watching out for him. There's that sister, who supports him and her two little kids on a Target cashier's wages; there's his art teacher, who's e-mailing all her friends in search of an old computer that he can use; and there's his coach, who keeps an eye on Johnny's grades. Last week, Johnny's teammates joined that list -- and for the first time that anyone on the team could remember, the Tigers won a game. ( Karen Warren / Chronicle )
More Information
Sam Houston file
Fast start: The Sam Houston football team has been one of the biggest surprises so far this season. The Tigers, picked dead last in District 20-5A in preseason polls, have opened with hard-fought victories over Washington 24-19 and Austin 19-13.
Twin talents: Sam Houston's main playmakers have been seniors Jacoby Dixon and Rodney Motley. Dixon, a quarterback/free safety, has thrown for three touchdowns, caught one TD pass and scored on an interception return. Motley, a tailback/linebacker, has accounted for four touchdowns to lead the Tigers.
Next test: Sam Houston will battle Northbrook at 7 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 13, at Tully Stadium.
Sam Houston head football coach Rodney Dotson encouraged his players to stay humble after the Tigers' 24-19 victory over Washington in the opener.
"They were really happy and they should be," Dotson said. "It might be the first time Sam Houston has ever beaten Washington. A lot of these kids live in the same neighborhoods and apartment complexes. They know each other very well. Washington is a playoff team. It was a quality win, but it's still only one game."
But Sam Houston's confidence must be soaring after the Tigers improved to 2-0 with last week's 19-13 win against Austin.
Few expected Sam Houston to be much of a factor after going 1-9 a year ago. The Tigers were picked to finish in last place in District 20-5A in most preseason polls.
However, Dotson never believed the skeptics.
"I don't care what anyone says," Dotson said. "Our kids are going to compete hard every week."
While Sam Houston lacks depth, the Tigers have ample talent at the skill positions. That much was obvious the first two weeks.
The duo of seniors Jacoby Dixon and Rodney Motley has been enthralling to watch. Dixon, a 5-foot-7, 155-pound quarterback/defensive back, and Motley (5-6, 165), a tailback/linebacker, have made a significant impact on both sides of the ball.
Against Washington, Dixon threw for two scores and caught a 61-yard touchdown pass from Motley.
Motley was the catalyst against Austin, scoring on a 77-yard run and grabbing a 56-yard TD strike from Dixon. Meanwhile, Dixon added a 72-yard interception return for a touchdown.
"Jacoby and Rodney are like twins; they are totally interchangeable," Dotson said.
Dotson said Dixon, a former wide receiver, has given the offense a boost since taking over at quarterback, although he tossed four interceptions against Austin. Motley has usually been his favorite target.
"Jacoby is doing really well. He's made some big plays for us," Dotson said. "Rodney is a deceptive player. He has great speed and packs a lot of strength into a compact body."
Sam Houston has several other notable weapons on the roster.
At wide receiver, sophomores Jarmaine Boyd (5-9, 160) and Rahkim Blair (6-3, 165) have come up with several nice catches.
Senior Jeffrey Jones (5-6, 170) has split time with Motley at running back, while freshman Bennie Webb (5-5, 145) has seen action at running back and slot receiver.
"We have the personnel to spread the ball around," Dotson said.
The offensive line is underrated, with junior James Bart (6-3, 263) at center, senior Raul Gama (5-11, 210) at left tackle and senior James Hardy (6-2, 200) at right tackle. Senior Ubaldo Mendez (5-10, 220) is the left guard, while juniors David Huerta (6-3, 280) and Jose Guerrero (5-10, 260) split time at right guard.
Although the numbers are slightly up from a year ago, Sam Houston has several two-way starters contributing on defense, most notably Motley and Dixon.
Motley starts at outside linebacker along with Jones, while Gama is the middle linebacker.
Dixon bolsters the secondary from his free safety slot. He is supported by Blair at strong safety and Boyd and Webb at cornerback.
The defensive line features junior Jose Enriquez (6-1, 270) and junior Edward Garcia (5-8, 250) at the tackles and Hardy and senior Erik Gonzalez (6-3, 185) at the ends.
"Defensively, we're getting it done by committee," Dotson said. "So far, it seems to be working for us."
Dotson said Sam Houston will use its final two non-district games against Northbrook and Tarkington as a tune-up for the District 20-5A opener later this month.
"We're not satisfied with what we've done," Dotson said. "We want to keep improving and get ready for district."

Extremely Rare Mint State 1862 Eagle1862 $10 MS60 NGC. The vast majority of survivors from this Civil War-era issue, with an original mintage of only 10,995 pieces, were either hoarded, melted or exported, and as a result most survivors, when seen, are apt to be well worn VF or XF representatives. Mint State survivors are almost unobtainable, with only three such pieces certified by NGC (this coin, another graded MS60, and a solitary MS63) and none to date by PCGS (4/03). This example displays the mild scuffiness that one would expect at this grade level, with a number of abrasions on each side, a short pinscratch in the lower-left obverse field, and a small rim bump at 2 o'clock on the obverse. On the plus side, it has highly reflective fields that enhance the bright golden luster, it is sharply struck, and most importantly is strictly free of any traces of wear that would lower it to the AU level. This is the finest certified 1862 Eagle that we have handled in recent memory, and is likely to be a fleeting opportunity for the astute specialist who recognizes the importance of this rarity in Mint State grade. Population: 2 in 60, 1 finer (4/03). (NGC ID# 2649, PCGS# 8635)

i am bca student from pune. i want do mini project as a practice on interior decoration . plz give me ideas abt it. plz help me urgenty.i am crazy abt interior decoration.
this is great ideas for home decorating, nice!
Very usefull information, good tips. Thank u for that
The 3th photo is amazing
It just cant be better than this!!!!! Awesome ideas
I like all the rooms – except the first, although the natural light there is fabulous. Perhaps it's just a poor photo, but it doesn't seem to me that the central feature (the lighting fixture) is in any way integrated elsewhere. A one-off is fine, but there should be some kind of cohesiveness shown.
I think these rooms are awful. I can't imagine sitting there, or entertaining friends.
Consider the living room #1: one couch facing a blank wall in a huge room. Living room #3: painfully offset in relation to the architectural columns and window. #4: blocks the windows, the best architectural feature of the room. #5:who would sit in that ridiculous wicker bench? #2 is the clear winner I'd live in.
The only nice room is the modern woody
hi i loved the 3rd one looks comfy and im sure it is cozy
i love it
I like the 3rd one its beautiful and the colours are fantastic!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Great living room….
It's always great to see good design. Two of the most striking things that I see in those examples are that all of the rooms have great natural light and are clutter free. Regardless of their taste in decor, everyone can achieve a great looking room by focusing on those two traits. Both make an environment warmer and more welcoming.
I love the playful curves in the living room! The windows are scrumptious, too. Excellent job.
Beautiful pictures and stunning design ideas. I have to say my favorite is the 3rd picture. The furniture looks inviting and warm. The colours used are also warm, I love the natrual feel. The detailing on the wall colums bring in a classic look and the carpet ties it together with a more modern feel. Definitly a look I would use in my home and one I would suggest to some of my clients with similar taste.
Thank you for sharing these beautiful pictures and ideas. All the looks range, showing home owners how to bring in a style and design of thier own.
I'm looking forward to seeing more posts in the future!
[…] think that when you are searching for a new look for your living room, the more pictures you see the more clearly you know how your dream home will look like. So here is […]
I like warmth in a living room. It should portray a sense of family and that people actually live in the space. I shudder when I see cold and minimalist living rooms.
nice to see this photo. i have plan to do my room like this.
nice room decoration. i have room just @ 10X10 we can do room like this
The natural creams and earth tones go well with hot climates, useful for villa designs.
i really like it
All of these rooms were warm and I liked them very much. The creams and earthy tones, I have to agree with the earlier comment, go very well in warm climates. I live is Spain and would definitely choose something like these color palates to renovate my living room.
I've been browsing online more than hours today, yet I never found any interesting article like yours. It's pretty worth enough for me. In my view, if all webmasters and bloggers made good content as you did, the net will be much more useful than ever before.
very nice….
fab designs those are.can we get more on a single room that would act both as a bedroom and a living room?

Still looking for Mr. Right....
In general, I'm a very optimistic person. Maybe that's why I figured there's a chance I could meet a great guy on Match. This may or may not be the way for me to find my ideal "match" but I'm willing to give it a shot. If nothing else, hopefully I'll meet some cool guys in the process. Like many other Denverites, I'm a transplant, originally from Montana, but am happy to now call Colorado home. I've made some amazing friends and have a job I love. I'm a pretty easy going person. I enjoy staying fit and taking advantage of the great Colorado weather. I'm always up for checking out the Denver food scene. I love sports, both playing and watching. There's much more to me than I can list in this small section. If you feel like we might mesh, I would love to hear from you!

I'll listen to almost anything except heavy metal. Delta Rae is one of my favorite groups. Props if you know who they are.
I'm into anything that has to do with being outside when the weather is nice. Would love to do a 14er this summer. Checking out new restaurants, going to farmers markets, breweries, etc.

Tunis — The Prime Ministry expressed Friday "deep indignation of any criminal act undermining Tunisia's cultural and historical heritage," following "the continued odious assaults committed recently in a very short period of time against the mausoleums and zaouias in several governorates and cities of Tunisia."
These acts "aroused the indignation of all the Tunisians" and provoked "hostile reactions in front of these acts of destruction," said the Prime Ministry in statement published on Friday.
By condemning these aggressions, the Prime Ministry specified that it "ensures compliance with the security arrangements and the judicial procedures underway to investigate the offenders who committed or ordered to commit these acts."
According to the same source, the "mausoleums and zaouias in Tunisia are integral part of the national memory in its cultural and civilisational dimensions and should not be in any way profaned or torched under religious pretext, because the statement explains "these places have not represented at any moment in history a problem for Tunisians known by their moderation and golden mean in thinking, faith and behaviour".
In this same communiqué, the Prime Ministry called on all the Tunisians, the civil society and the cultural associations concerned by heritage "to face up any attempts which undermine the history of their country and its symbolic monuments away from any form of violence and discord."

Faculty Members Receive Prestigious NIH Challenge Grants
On behalf of the entire Mailman School faculty I congratulate Drs. Fuller, Lumey, and Munoz-Laboy and their colleagues receiving these highly competitive awards. The development of leading-edge science and the translation of this knowledge into new policies, standards, and approaches to health promotion is the cornerstone of our work at the Mailman School, and the ongoing research by all three Challenge grant recipients will have a significant impact on many lives.
— Linda P. Fried, MD, MPH, dean of the Mailman School of Public Health

October 15, 2009 -- The National Institutes of Health (NIH) has awarded NIH Challenge Grants in Health and Science Research, competitive awards funded under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, to three members of the faculty at the Mailman School of Public Health. Recipients of the prestigious awards are principal investigators Crystal M. Fuller, PhD, associate professor of Epidemiology; Miguel Munoz-Laboy, DrPh, associate professor of Sociomedical Sciences; and L.H. Lumey, MD, PhD, associate professor of Epidemiology. These Challenge grants will support the next phase in their ongoing research projects.
Crystal M. Fuller, PhD
Crystal Fuller will continue to investigate multilevel behavioral and structural interventions that improve quality and accessibility of healthcare services in low income, urban environments. She will use the Challenge grant for the next phase of her research that will evaluate a pharmacy-based pilot structural intervention that combines rapid HIV testing with other screening services, including blood pressure, glucose, and cholesterol screening, as a means to reduce stigma associated with HIV testing in communities highly burdened with HIV and limited access to healthcare in New York City. The program includes offering testing services to all drug using and non-drug using pharmacy patrons instead of singling out those who buy non-prescription syringes through the Expanded Syringe Access Program.
Dr. Fuller will be using the latest, most advanced HIV testing technologies and bringing technological innovations and treatment modalities to low-income communities in New York City.
"If our model is successful, we anticipate that it can be duplicated not only throughout other high-risk neighborhoods in New York, but in other cities and states," says Dr. Fuller.
Co-investigators on the grant are Silvia Amesty, MD, MsED, MPH, assistant clinical professor, Mailman School Heilbrunn Department of Population and Family Health, and College of Physicians and Surgeons (P&S); Carlos Rodriquez, MD, MPH, assistant clinical professor, Mailman School Department of Epidemiology and P&S Department of Medicine; Jo Phelan, PhD, professor of Epidemiology, Mailman School of Public Health; and David Vlahov, PhD, senior vice president of Research and director of Center for Urban Epidemiologic Studies at New York Academy of Medicine, and professor of clinical Epidemiology, Mailman School of Public Health. Consulting on the project are Patricia Case, ScD, senior research scientist, The Fenway Institute; and Stuart Feldman, PhD, dean, Touro College of Pharmacy.
L. H. Lumey, MD, PhD
L.H. Lumey will continue his work examining the associations between maternal famine exposure in different stages of pregnancy and DNA methylation patterns in adulthood. This also includes investigating how these DNA patterns are related to risk factors for cardio-vascular disease and diabetes. Dr. Lumey's research will help lead to a better understanding of the very early sources of differences in disease across populations and how the environment shapes human development.
"The field of epigenetics holds great promise in helping us understand the basis of human disease," says Dr. Lumey, "and this study offers a unique opportunity to look at the interaction between epigenetics and life conditions very early in pregnancy and to examine possible long-lasting effects on health over the life course."
Co-investigators include Mary Beth Terry, PhD, co-PI, associate professor of Epidemiology at the Mailman School, who has been involved in epidemiologic case-control studies of breast and colorectal cancer for over 14 years and is currently studying how DNA methylation effects breast cancer risk; Ezra Susser, MD, DrPh, professor of Epidemiology at the Mailman School and professor of Psychiatry at P&S, whose work has examined the role of early life experiences and their associations with health and disease throughout the life course; Regina Santella, PhD, professor of Environmental Health Sciences at the Mailman School and director of Columbia's NIEHS Center, whose research involves developing laboratory methods for detection of human exposure to environmental and occupational carcinogens; Yu-Jing Zhang, PhD research scientist in the Department of Environmental Health Sciences; and Ian McKeague, PhD, professor of Biostatistics, who has collaborated on ongoing studies in the birth cohort program.
Miguel Munoz-Laboy, DrPH
Miguel Muñoz-Laboy will begin a study to examine the social network factors of drug use and sexual risk behavior among formerly incarcerated Latino men in order to develop the foundation for a network-based intervention to reduce HIV and sexually transmitted infections for this population. The majority of HIV prevention interventions have failed to consider the role of social-familial networks in the post-incarceration experiences of FILM.
"The lack of attention to contextual factors is worrisome, as research supports the importance of understanding cultural, familial and social network factors for reducing HIV-infection among disproportionately affected populations, including Latinos and formerly incarcerated men," says principal investigator Dr. Muñoz-Laboy on behalf of the researchers. This study is among the first to investigate HIV risks among this Latino population.
In addition to Dr. Muñoz-Laboy, the research team consists of Vincent Guilamo-Ramos, PhD, MSW, principal investigator, associate professor of Social Work, Columbia University; Richard Parker, PhD, Mailman School of Public Health Professor of Sociomedical Sciences; and Marni Sommer, DrPH, assistant professor of Sociomedical Sciences and director of Sociomedical Sciences Global Health Track, Mailman School of Public Health.
"On behalf of the entire Mailman School faculty I congratulate Drs. Fuller, Lumey, and Munoz-Laboy and their colleagues receiving these highly competitive awards," says Linda P. Fried, MD, MPH, dean of the Mailman School of Public Health. "The development of leading-edge science and the translation of this knowledge into new policies, standards, and approaches to health promotion is the cornerstone of our work at the Mailman School, and the ongoing research by all three Challenge grant recipients will have a significant impact on many lives."
Funded under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, the NIH designated approximately $200 million in FYs 2009 - 2010 for the NIH Challenge Grants in Health and Science Research to support research on high priority topics within broad challenge areas. The research in these areas focus on specific knowledge gaps, scientific opportunities, new technologies, data generation, or research methods that would benefit from an influx of funds to quickly advance the area in significant ways and are expected to have a high impact in biomedical or behavioral science and/or public health.

In response to BassFishingII's comment:
The board here is fairly sure he doesn't have a raging man lust for an NFL QB.
He probably doesn't have a raging man lust for a 60+ year old head coach either.
(Stop speaking for "the board" imbecilic nutjob. Your fake accounts and "the voices" don't count as "the board".)
I don't. I just realize you, your troll buddies, don't appreciate what BB provides for Brady and the fans.
You, meanwhile, have completely ignored Brady's subpar postseason play for like 5+ years now.
I suspect your heart skips a beat every time anybody mentions BB here wacko.
I have repeatedly praised BB's coaching. And unlike YOU I do not state that he is afraid of Brady and does whatever he wants nutjob.

Lamar Odom skipped Kim Kardashian, Kanye West's proposal because he had better things to doAdd to Favorites | Keeping Up With the Kardashians
Lamar Odom was noticeably absent from Kanye West's proposal to Kim Kardashian, and many assumed it was because he had been blocked by the "Keeping Up With the Kardashians" family in light of his recent marriage troubles with Khloe Kardashian. But according to Odom, he skipped the big event of his own volition.
TMZ spoke to Odom after dinner on Oct. 22 about his absence from the proposal. Odom was immediately on the defensive, asking the paparazzo, "You see my wedding ring on?" (it was, for the record) before explaining why he wasn't there.
"Because I had something to do. Maybe I had to do something personal? I think everybody's alright," he says.
Odom used the interview as an opportunity to show, "I'm normal. I'm normal. ... I'm a gentleman," reprimanding the pap for not introducing himself and then having a lengthy conversation about the proper way to approach him for an interview. But something about Odom's explanation for not being with the rest of the Kardashians for Kim's big day doesn't seem like it entirely adds up. If the Kardashians are all about family, wouldn't it make sense that he would have been with them?

KWS warders have arrested an accomplice of a suspected poacher killed in Tsavo at the weekend.
The assistant director in-charge of Tsavo, Wilson Korir, said the suspect was arrested at Maungu town on Sunday night while three more are in hiding.
"We are interrogating the suspect although we cannot reveal his identity. We are very sure he was among the gang that was on a poaching mission at Tsavo,"he said.
KWS Director William Kiprono who visited the scene on Saturday warned poaching syndicates that the government has put security agencies on alert.
Kiprono said poachers disguise themselves as herders in Taita ranches.
He urged owners of private ranches in Taita Taveta bordering the Tsavo Park to vet all herders and report suspected criminals to the police.
