More information about Ghana is available on the Ghana Page and from other Department of State publications and other sources listed at the end of this fact sheet.
The United States established diplomatic relations with Ghana in 1957 following Ghana's independence from the United Kingdom. The United States and Ghana share a long history promoting democracy, human rights, and the rule of law. Ghana has set an example for countries throughout Africa in promoting governance and regional stability.
The United States and Ghana work together on various defense and law enforcement issues. Both countries' militaries cooperate in numerous joint training exercises through U.S. Africa Command. The United States and Ghana have a bilateral International Military Education and Training program, a Foreign Military Financing program, and numerous humanitarian affairs projects, including a relationship between the government of Ghana and the North Dakota National Guard under the auspices of the U.S. Department of Defense State Partnership Program. Ghana continues to participate in the African Contingency Operations Training and Assistance program, in which the United States facilitates the development of an interoperable peacekeeping capacity among African nations. Ghana is a partner country for the African Peacekeeping Rapid Response Partnership and the Security Governance Initiative. These programs seek to address security sector governance challenges in Ghana and enhance Ghana's ability to rapidly deploy peacekeepers. Ghana is also a priority country under the West Africa Cooperative Security Initiative (WACSI). Through WACSI programs, the Department of State's Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs (INL) aims to help the government of Ghana to: 1) build capacity for complex investigations and case packages on transnational crimes and drug trafficking incidents; 2) conduct fair trials of transnational criminals and drug traffickers; and 3) combat rising drug abuse. In furtherance of these objectives, INL has supported institutional development across the criminal justice sector.
Through the U.S. International Visitor Program, Ghanaian parliamentarians and other government officials have become acquainted with U.S. congressional and state legislative practices and have participated in programs designed to address other issues of interest. Youth exchanges and study abroad programs are also robust and growing between U.S. and Ghanaian universities and NGOs. At the U.S. state level, the State Partnership Program aims to promote greater economic ties between Ghana and U.S. institutions, including the National Guard.
The United States has enjoyed good relations with Ghana at a nonofficial, people-to-people level since Ghana's independence. Thousands of Ghanaians have been educated in the United States. Close relations are maintained between educational and scientific institutions, and cultural links are strong, particularly between Ghanaians and African-Americans.
U.S. Assistance to Ghana
U.S. development assistance to Ghana is implemented by the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), the Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC), and others. USAID-managed development assistance to Ghana has supported the country in improving the power sector, increasing food security, enhancing basic health care, increasing access to quality basic education, and strengthening local governance to benefit all Ghanaians. The West Africa Trade Hub, located in Accra, provides technical assistance to help small businesspersons to grow their businesses and access new customers in the United States and the West African region. The Peace Corps has a large program in Ghana, with volunteers working in education, agriculture, and health (including HIV/AIDS, malaria, sanitation, and nutrition).
Bilateral Economic Relations
Ghana recorded a 4.2% GDP growth rate in 2014. For 2015, the government expects growth of 3.9%, well below the 7.4% average in the last fifteen years. In April 2015, Ghana entered into a financing program through the IMF valued at $914 million to regain its macroeconomic stability.
The United States is among Ghana's principal trading partners, with two-way trade between the two countries reaching $1.45 billion in 2014. A number of major U.S. companies operate in the country, including IBM, Coca-Cola and Newmont Mining. Political stability, overall sound economic management, a low crime rate, competitive wages, and an educated, English-speaking workforce enhance Ghana's potential as a West African hub for American businesses. Ghana has significant reserves of oil and gas, currently being developed by a variety of global petroleum companies, including US-based Kosmos Energy.
Ghana's Membership in International Organizations
In foreign affairs, Ghana generally follows the consensus of the Nonaligned Movement and the African Union on economic and political issues that do not directly affect its own interests. Ghana and the United States belong to a number of the same international organizations, including the United Nations, International Monetary Fund, World Bank, and World Trade Organization. Ghana also is an observer to the Organization of American States. Ghana has a strong track record of contributing troops to international peacekeeping forces.
Bilateral Representation
The U.S. Ambassador to Ghana and other principal embassy officials are listed in the Department's Key Officers List.
Ghana maintains an embassy in the United States at 3512 International Drive, NW, Washington, DC 20008 (tel. 202-686-4500).

Rabbi Moses Maimonides (1135-1204) was a halachist par excellence, philosopher, physician, and a political leader of the Jewish community at the ibn Ezra Synagogue of Egypt. Born in Cordovero, Spain and caused to flee a fanatical Muslim sect, the Rambam travelled to Morocco, Eretz Yisrael, Alexandria, and then served as a physician in the court of the Sultan in Cairo Fostat.

This excellent, delightful and lucid collection represents some of the best in academic research. Philological, lexicographical, linguistic, epigraphical, cultural, mythological, ritualistic, and historical knowledge are informed by virtuosity in comparative ancient Semitic languages. These erudite studies by the high-powered academic scholarship of Hayim Tawil – a professor of Hebrew languages and literature at Yeshiva University – shed light on Biblical Hebrew, the whole field of Ancient Near Eastern studies, medieval exegetical traditions, and the reception history of the Biblical text from antiquity to the present day.

I've always had an interest in the intersect between halacha, history, and archaeology. It is this interest that led me to research and write about the status of Purim in modern-day Israeli cities that are adjacent to ancient cities that had a wall around them in the days of Yehoshua Bin Nun. I concluded, in regards to Beit Shemesh at least, that there is much merit in observing a second day of Purim, on the 15th of Adar.

Lilmod Ulelamed, eloquently written by Rabbi Mordechai Katz, is a newly revised and expanded version of the original that was published by Feldheim Publishers in 1978. It is a book that can truly improve your Shabbos table.

ne Shot, authored by M. Wiseman, is an emotional drama that focuses on issues faced by some teens nowadays. In Suburbia, U.S.A., lived three extraordinary young men, Baruch, Nadav and Rafi. Nadav and Rafi have been friends forever, and Baruch joins the crew in his later teens. Pain is the bond that brings the threesome together. Baruch and Nadav have emotional pain and Rafi suffers from a physical pain; he discovered that he had advanced-stage cancer. The cancer was serious – too serious for the doctors, so they eventually stopped treating him.

Work-life balance has been in the media a lot lately. Anne-Marie Slaughter, a Princeton professor who served as the first female Director of Policy Planning for the U.S. State Department, wrote a groundbreaking article in The Atlantic entitled "Women Can't Have It All." Slaughter writes about her struggle with balance—parenting and working, and the importance of being present, as well as the importance of absolute boundaries between work and parenting. As evidence—both of the compartmentalizing men are capable of and as an example of the type of behavior women should engage in more, Slaughter writes about Orthodox men she has worked with: "Come Friday at sundown, they were unavailable because of the Jewish Shabbat."

ibis Styles Honfleur Centre Historique - hotel reviews in Honfleur

Accorhotels.com customer reviews in partnership with TripAdvisor
"Great location"
19th August 2013, daniel_berryman, London, United Kingdom
We stayed in the Ibis Styles Hotel in Honfleur for one night on our commute back from Brittany to Calais and we were very impressed. The staff were extremely welcoming, the location was fantastic, one block from the harbour and the family room was huge.The kids had their own attic room with twin beds and the kids computers in the reception were a big hit.For a hotel so centrally located in a very popular town the size of room was amazing, the breakfast was great and set us up nicely for our 3 hour drive to Calais.I would definitely recommend this hotel to families as a very friendly and well appointed modern hotel.
"Perfect location to explore Honfleur"
18th August 2013, A4DJL, Edinburgh, United Kingdom
Having visited Honfleur over 35 years ago, camping on a tight budget, I returned for a more comfortable stay, and chose the ibis Styles for a two night stay in August 2013. This turned out to be an inspired choice, and the quality of the hotel, location and service was first class. As noted in earlier reviews, minor inconveniences were the shortage of storage space in the bedrooms, and cost of adjacent car parking, but these really were very minor compared with the huge plus factors of the ibis Styles. The helpfulness (and command of the English language!) of the staff, the quality of the buffet breakfast, and the location of the hotel next to the harbour and numerous restaurants all made for a memorable few days, and I would thoroughly recommend the hotel to any prospective visitors to Honfleur.
6th August 2013, Globi007, Lucerne, Switzerland
Spacious room, silet location, friendly staff, right in the center of honfleur, good value!Elevator to the room, free Wifi, good breakfast with plenty of choice, free evian water in the room, parking just in front of the hotel
"Good stopover"
28th June 2013, Ashford, United Kingdom
The hotel is well positioned in the centre. It is clean and tidy with helpful friendly staff. The room had everything one would expect for a hotel in this range. The breakfast is a good continental. Free wi-fi is also good. A value hotel in an expensive resort.
"Stopover in Honfleur"
21st August 2012, ongley, Harrogate, United Kingdom
We used this hotel as a stopover on our way to southern Brittany and were very impressed. It is small, but very clean and the service was excellent. The family room had a separate loft area for the children, which they loved. They even had their own TV. There is no bar, but we were right in the centre of town so perfect for popping out for dinner. The breakfast was excellent. We stayed in a Novotel in Rouen Sud on the way back, but the IBIS stopover in Honfleur was so much better. We'd definitely recommend and stay again.
"Good location"
1st August 2012, Gladyslindum, Crowborough, United Kingdom
Very central in Honfleur, near to restaurants etc. main complaint is that all the beds have duvets which are too hot in the summer. There is air conditioning but it would be still good to have the option of just a sheet and possibly a blanket. The parking outside is sometimes difficult to find a place too.

Pet Diseases
Flea Allergy Dermatitis
This might be an indication that your pet might be suffering from a condition called, flea allergy dermatitis (FAD). The most common allergy that animals have
is flea allergy dermatitis. It is caused by the fleas' saliva, which your pet can
develop an allergy to, as there are
15 different allergens in their saliva.
Dogs and cats can develop flea saliva
allergies at any point in their life, and
once they have it, it is seldom rectified.
lea allergy dermatitis occurs in pets that are hypersensitive (allergic) to flea saliva. Discomfort and itching are among the first signs of flea allergy dermatitis. Flea allergy dermatitis can be more severe during warm and humid weather, when fleas are more active.
ets usually spend so much time grooming themselves to relieve their
itching that they remove most of the fleas. Since they are so allergic to the
bites, even one or two bites a month can cause severe itching, and oftentimes even worse problems can arise. Hot spots can occur from biting and licking which in turn can lead to secondary skin infections, lowering your pet's health and resistance to fleas even further.

The first time I was using my debit card to buy gas but the card reader was broken, so I had to go inside and prepay. I then went out to pump the gas I had paid for, and a few seconds in the pump shut itself off! I had to keep squeezing it to get my money's worth.
I swore then I would never return, but I gave into the allure of convenience and returned a few more times. This last time I was ripped off AGAIN. I had lost my debit card so I had no choice but to use cash. I did just that and again, it kept shutting off.
There was a new twist this time; about 11.5 gallons in, I stopped hearing the characteristic rush in the hose. In a desperate attempt to get my money's worth I pressed on, and the counters went up until I had used up the amount I put in.
I went inside to tell management what was wrong and I was treated like an idiot. The manager claimed that I had gotten what I paid for simply because the counter inside showed it. He gave me a string of canned responses like "We calibrate our pumps frequently" and "it all comes out of one tank in the ground, so why should it matter?" all while wearing a smug little grin on his face.
Consumers, take note: this gas station is exploiting a state law requiring prepayment for gasoline to cheat you out of your hard-earned money! Do NOT buy gas here! You WILL be sorry!

Qatar Foundation-supported volunteers pictured with officials of the Sri Lankan School in Doha.
DOHA: Qatar Foundation for Education, Science and Community Development (QF) supported the work of local organisations recently as a part of the annual 'Make A Difference Day' (MADD).
The internationally celebrated event encourages people to take part in a 'national day of doing good,' promoting the spirit of volunteering in local communities.
Approximately 60 students, faculty and staff members from QF chose to take part and signed up to support the work of local organisations.
This year's beneficiaries were the Qatar Animal Welfare Society (QAWS) and the Sri Lankan School, also known as Stafford International.
Having suffered a devastating fire in late 2009, QAWS has recently been completely rebuilt, with in large part to public donations. Now, its air-conditioned facilities are better than ever, and house hundreds of rescued animals. MADD participants walked dogs and cleaned out kennels and play areas.
According to Janet Berry, Chairperson of QAWS, "On their arrival, we greeted a group of enthusiastic, willing and able volunteers, indicating that this was to be a productive - yet fun - morning. Both humans and animals were delighted to take part, once again, in the QF 'Make A Difference Day' programme."
The feel-good factor extended to the Sri Lankan School. Established in 2001, it has grown tremendously since beginning life as a small nursery, and now educates almost 600 pupils.
Around 25 QF volunteers helped out by tending the garden, and brightened up the building's exterior walls with a fresh coat of paint.
Volunteer Emelina Soares, a student at Virginia Commonwealth University in Qatar, felt that she had benefited hugely from taking part in the day of good deeds. She said, "It is a great learning experience, because now we students understand and value the experiences, skills and the education that Qatar Foundation provides us with."
With the introduction of easy-to-access volunteering projects, QF continues to support MADD in promoting community development. The Peninsula

House prices at Purim
By Simon Round, March 12, 2009
If you are just off to buy a new mezuzah, having read in last week's JC that the parchment-filled cylinder adds £10,000 to the price of of any property, perhaps you should be aware that Monday was Purim.
There was actually no survey indicating that houses increase in value if a mezuzah is nailed on the doorpost, and no website called www.sellyourhouse4more.com.
This did not deter chabad.com from reporting our story in a very straight manner. So is the story a complete invention? Not according to rabbi David Okunov, quoted in the Chabad story. He says that his Brooklyn office has fielded calls for over 200 mezuzahs in the past month, whereas they normally sell 50.
Life is sometimes stranger than a Purim spiel.

Earlier this year, a Kiva fellow in KF14, David McNeill, wrote about his interaction with a Sierra Leonean taxi driver, and addressed a hot issue in microfinance: the financial donut hole. The driver asked David what type of work he was doing in Sierra Leone, and after David mentioned he was involved with microcredit, the driver expressed, "Ah, that is for women." In his post, David explains how the driver was mostly right: why the microfinance industry concentrates on lending mostly to women, although there are still a small...

One of the biggest challenges of providing access to financial services to those living in poverty is the actual logistics of expanding the services into some of the most remote areas of the world. 92% of Rwandans live in rural areas. During my first field visit, I visited a small village near the border of Tanzania. After meeting several first time borrowers and hearing about their challenges and strong hopes for the future, we drove out onto the unpredictable mud roads.... Continue Reading >>

In the developed world, the recent increased attention to global warming and the importance of environmental preservation and restoration efforts is something that's hard to ignore. It's because of this ongoing Environmental Revolution that the majority of the population is aware of the increasing need to pay attention to our footprint. Regardless of whether or not people actually do their part or even believe in global warming, most people have at least been educated of the potential consequences of neglecting the environment and the harm we...Continue Reading >>

This week Fellows look at the questions surrounding microfinance, or perhaps more specifically, Kiva-style microfinance: what is Christian microfinance in Rwanda?

I was a fan of Kiva long before I realized there were real people who make those profiles miraculously appear on Kiva's website. Likely, you're a bit more aware.

In 2009 when I told friends and family I was moving to Tanzania to study international development and to work for Kiva in the field of microfinance, or the furnishing of small loans to the working poor, we all had certain pre-formed ideas about how impactful and necessary my work was sure to be. We understood that in terms of GDP, literacy, infant mortality, and other common measures, Tanzania is a "developing" country, Third World, periphery. In another word: poor.

Before I arrived in Nairobi, I had heard on multiple occasions about the fundamental role loan officers play in making an MFI function. Loan officers are the backbone of the organization; they are intimately familiar with their clients and the challenges they face and they go to extraordinary measures to meet client needs. I was able to fully appreciate this on my recent borrower visits in Mombasa with two of SMEP Deposit Taking Microfinance Limited's loan officers: the one who supposedly travels the most, and the one who supposedly travels...Continue Reading >>

When I responded that I never even received confirmation that I was enrolled in the one that they had me fill the form out for and the lack of confirmation alone makes me want to run, she said that putting my credit card in was the confirmation that I had accepted their terms & signed up. Addressing the user name and password, which I never received, she indicated that she would cancel my account and I had to talk to a supervisor.
After 2 calls to them (I kept getting disconnected) and about 30 minutes on hold, I got a hold of a Supervisor who originally would only credit back $15.95, advising me that since I had been a paying member for 3 days, I would forfiet the other 4.95. I completely explained the situation again, no confirmation, haven't received my user name and password, had no idea that I had successfully joined, didn't use their services, didn't feel that I wanted to after the way the customer service went and that he needed to refund the full amount.
Reluctantly and over threats of a lawsuit of some sort for deceptive practices(looking online there's a great number of people that have been swindled out of $20 or more) he refunded me all the $$. Now $4.95 really isn't that much to fight over, but it was the whole priciple that I got absolutely no benefit from that money, unless frustration and anger are now a benefit of doing business with someone.
While I was on hold, I thumbed around their website, there really isn't anything that you can get there that you don't have to research further and pay to get the additional info.. make sure to look over their services before your trial ends. I am glad that I didn't let them talk me into staying with them, what a waste of my time.
As I said, be careful when doing business with these guys. Read your T&C's very carefully. Research them on the net, I typed in Bargain Network Complaints on Google and got 123,000 hits, probably 10,000 are actually related to them, but still that's a pretty big number. They have an F rating with the BBB in their local area, though they are not technically a member, with 407 filled complaints in 36 months, most about their billing practices. They are not on BBBOnline.org. Which goes a long way to the creditability of the company and it's willingness to uphold the promises and good practices that the BBB inspires.

Thank you so much, Susan for all that you have done. We couldn't have gotten this far without you.
Three cheers for Susan! Hip hip hooray!!
What's been your favorite thing about being involved with the Orange Karen Anthology?
Reading all of the different stories that were submitted has been incredible. Each of our authors was asked to use the color orange as a strong thematic element, and the talent and imagination they displayed in response to that simple constraint was phenomenal. Working with the other members of the Anthology team has also been really fun and rewarding – in the course of the last few months, I've enjoyed a number of new friendships with some incredibly funny, smart and generous people.
Tell us one thing about yourself that we wouldn't know about you from reading your bio:
I have a long-standing love of muscle cars and recently bought a '72 Charger that I'm in the process of restoring. Rrrawwrr.
Hidden Talent:
I wouldn't really call it a "hidden" talent, but I think I'm a pretty good cook. Maybe one day I'll go to culinary school and turn it into a second career.
What is your favorite "orange" item (it could be a food, an object…sky's the limit)? Why?
When I think "orange" the first image that comes to mind is of those gumdrop candies that are shaped like little orange segments and coated with glittery sugar. My grandmother used to give them to me; it's one of the simplest, happiest memories of my early childhood.
I guess that would depend on the nature of the threat – it's pretty hard to stop the bad guys with nothing but a bag of gumdrops. Maybe I could use them as bait, and trap the bad guys in a cave…or if the threat was some kind of bomb or chemical weapon, maybe I could encase it in a 20-foot-thick gumdrop shield, kind of like those Kevlar blankets the bomb squad puts on top of bombs to contain the explosion.
Who inspires you? Why?
People who do what they do with real passion, and experience evident joy in the process. I once watched an orchestral performance in which the solo was performed by a brilliant tubist; as he played, the expression on his face was literally one of rapture. It made me want to pursue my interests with that same intensity, and on a very fundamental level, it made me want to be a better person.

Charges are being dismissed in the case of three men accused of conspiring to kill a Dale County judge and an Ozark attorney.
District Attorney Kirke Adams announced Monday that he's filed motions to dismiss charges against Garrett Wayne Daniels and Fred Daniels.
The Daniels were accused of being conspiring to kill Circuit Judge Kenneth Quattlebaum and Attorney Buddy Williams.
Andrew Earl Garner is the alleged hit-man and charges against him will be reduced to conspiracy to commit second-degree assault.
Adams says there is no corroborating evidence that any of the men were planning a murder.

I should have followed my first mind and just hung up on the guy, but stupid me thought maybe maybe this was legit, because morgan politely answered my questions and gave me their cancellation policy which is supposed to give you at least 30 days to cancel your application. Well after I hung up the phone and thought about the decision I had made. I decided to cancel my application. I called and called and called.
Nine times out of ten, the hold time would last no more than 7 minutes tops before the line would disconnect itself. I think once or twice I got directed to a voice mail to leave a message to await a callback. Nevertheless, I never got hold to anyone.
I tried calling information to see if they had a more direct number. No information available, so I tried looking them up on the website. No information available.
Finally I found ripoffreport.com, and lord behold......there I find first approval benefits stories almost identical to mine. So I ran to my bank and had my account closed out. Whew!! But I'm still pissed. How come there are so many places like that out there that victimize people and their incomes. And the only real effective consequence that they may get is to have their name put on a list. They should be crucified. s****. />

Like most other gadgets, projectors too have been becoming compact over the past few years. But the smallest of the lot, the so-called Pico projectors, are not as bright as the best projectors. They usually have a brightness of around 100 Lumens, which means you need a really dark room to get an image that is good enough. However, a new breed of devices now aims to pack portability along with bright bulbs. Of course, these projectors are not as small as the hand-held projectors -- they just can't be with the brighter lamps. But they pack a lot more features than the average Pico. The Acer K135 LED projector is one such, and we put it to the test.
Despite its size, which is not much larger than a Discman, the K135 packs a bright 500 Lumens lamp. It weighs just 435 grams, which makes it very portable. The power button is on top, just beside a menu console surrounded by four directional buttons. There is a small focus toggle towards the front. The device has an HDMI input as well as a USB port. Since a lot of people will be using this on the move, it can also project from a micro-SD card.
The K135 is easy to set up and run, especially if you have an HDMI source. The USB port would obviously be the best bet when you are on the move. But this works better with documents and photographs. The device could not recognise a whole lot of video formats. However, it can open most common document formats like .doc and .pdf. There is also a Wi-Fi but we just couldn't go anywhere with it. Selecting the setup in that section kept taking us back to the menu as we did not have the UBS Wi-Fi adapter that makes this work.

AbstractSensor nodes are characterized by a small size, a low cost, an advanced communication technology, but also a limited amount of energy. Energy efficient strategies are required in such networks to maximize network lifetime. In this paper, we focus on a solution integrating energy efficient routing and node activity scheduling. The energy efficient routing we propose, called EOLSR, selects the route and minimizes the energy consumed by an end-to-end transmission, while avoiding nodes with low residual energy. Simulation results show that EOLSR outperforms the solution selecting the route of minimum energy as well as the solution based on node residual energy. Cross-layering allows EOLSR to use information from the application layer or the MAC layer to reduce its overhead and increase network lifetime. Node activity scheduling is based on the following observation: the sleep state is the least power consuming state. So, to schedule node active and sleeping periods, we propose SERENA that colors all network nodes using a small number of colors, such that two nodes with the same color can transmit without interfering. The node color is mapped into a time slot during which the node can transmit. Consequently, each node is awake during its slot and the slots of its one-hop neighbors, and sleeps in the remaining time. We evaluate SERENA benefits obtained in terms of bandwidth, delay and energy. We also show how cross-layering with the application layer can improve the end-to-end delays for data gathering applications.

Wow! This is amazing! I would be utterly in awe, speechless! This is just magnificent.
Beautiful shot and what a wonderful opportunity to see such a place! Thank you for sharing it with us.
Best regards,
Mary Alice
The Spanish brought a Moorish influence to this church in Peru. What a strange world we live in--strange and interesting and delightful! I count myself very fortunate to have been there.
Have a good evening but don't stay up too late! Marilyn
Strange, Interesting and Delightful, NO DOUBT! There is a vast world out there to explore too, as I'm sure you know! You have seen more of it than I'm sure I will EVER see! :) I'm just enjoying learning about all these neat places form your many trips! Indeed, you are a very lucky girl.
I hope your evening is also wonderful. I'm going to bed here shortly. :)
Mary Alice
Unique and unforgettable perfectly, Marilyn! Best wishes. Eva
Thank you, Eva and Bruce.
As you may guess from the camera angle, I used the common and simple technique of bracing the camera on the top of the pew ahead of me. This is a merge of three bracketed exposures: that's why there's no EXIF (?) information. (If you want evidence of that, zoom in on the person at the left. He moved his head! But the merge was better than any of the three exposures, so I decided to ignore that.)
Cheers, Marilyn
Marilyn, I didn't know you were so tech savvy! Excellent rendition of an awe inspiring subject. You should be very proud.
Best wishes
You see, Tom, you can teach an old dog new tricks! My knowledge is quite limited, but if I think something's going to be useful, I try to learn. As you can see from my profile, I learned about f. stops and shutter speeds maybe 60 years ago!
Cheers, Marilyn
Excellent Marilyn! Very good, interesting and impressive picture, thanks for sharing! Cheers, Jurgis
I was found the interior view impressive, and I'm glad you like the photo. Cheers, Marilyn

Thursday morning, ESPN's Pac-12 blog released its take on the Utes heading into the 2013 season.
ESPN writer Kevin Gemmell said, "marked improvement is expected." This is mainly due to fixing the offensive line and combating injuries that plagued Utah last season.
He also said the Utes' biggest question heading into the season is the defensive line. With the absence of Star Lotulelei and Joe Kruger, Utah has big shoes to fill on the line.
Another question intriguing the national audience is the Utes' revamped offense with the edition of co-offensive coordinator Dennis Erickson. The horrid 190.7 average passing yards per game might be in the past, but only if Travis Wilson grows into his role at starting quarterback.

This plugin doesnt seem to be that good for SEO purposes. I just noticed that google image indexes the images on the index (main page) like this: http://i.imgur.com/qp9Oev8.jpg
as you can see, all the title and alt tags are not collected by google image at all. even tho im using a seo image plugin on the page, and all the images on the main index and single are getting the correct alt and title tags.
All the images (thumbnails) on the main page are renamed to "timthumb.php" instead of just adding the file name and then add a "thumb" at the end of the file name. like "funny-image-thumb.jpg" or something similar.
have i dont anything wrong here or is it suppose to be like this? Anything i can do for fixing this?

Hi there,
I'm looking for a plugin like in this picture:
It's for a listing of links. This example displays the date of the event, allows for a small picture to be added, location, name of the event and organization. Is there a wordpress plugin or other solution available that would allow me to create this? I've been looking for it everywhere but no luck yet. Or should I better not use wordpress for this?

CVCC Potters' Workshop
|Kim Ellington
Kim Ellington is a Catawba Valley potter living in Vale, NC. He is known for his rich alkaline glazed, wood-fired stoneware. He is recognized for working within a tradition while expanding beyond its boundaries for the con-temporary eye. His adaption of and proficiency in these time-honored techniques has resulted in his work being shown in exhibitions such as the "Ceramic National 2000" at the Everson Museum of Art in Syracuse, N.Y., and "The Potters' Eye" at the North Carolina Museum of Art in Raleigh. Ellington's work is featured in numerous books, periodicals and documentaries, as well as being represented in museums and private collections nationwide.
|Evelyn Arnold
Evelyn Arnold is from Conover, N.C. She learned her turning techniques on a potter's kick wheel while in high school and learned to use an electric wheel while taking classes in college. Before teaching at the Potters' Workshop, she took pottery classes to learn the Catawba Valley style of pottery. Evelyn also enjoys hand-building along with learning techniques from local potters in throwing, firing and glazing.
|Raine Middleton
Raine Middleton is a descendant of Catawba Valley Potter David Hartzog and a native of western Lincoln County. As such, she has always been drawn to the NC traditional clay experience; as well as contemporary design. This pairing of traditional and contemporary expands her approach to making pots by the unlimited exploration of functional forms, con-temporary surface designs and firing techniques. Middleton is a recipient of the 2007 Charlotte Mecklenburg Arts and Science Council's Regional Artist Grant, and studied at Penland School of Craft for two months with Cynthia Bringle. She has also studied at Penland with James Watkins, Richard Burkett, and Lana Wilson and in Texas with Pat Sowell.

I was using the original administrator account for posting, and I had one other author who was also set up as an admin. Everything was working fine since December.
Two days ago I created a third user, also setup as an admin. Since then my original administrator account no longer appears in the list of possible authors for posts. Nothing I do can seem to return my account to the author's list. I log out, log back in, nothing.
Any new users that I create appear properly in the dropdown when I am create a New Post.
Any ideas?

FBI Investigating Rochester School District Plan
Posted May 29th, 2014 @ 6:22am
(13WHAM) Rochester N.Y.-Word this morning from 13WHAM News that the FBI is looking into the first phase of the Rochester City School District's modernization project.
The project's first phase is worth $325 million.
It's unclear what the extent of that investigation entails because no one is saying much. District Superintendent Bolgen Vargas tells 13WHAM that there was an investigation to his knowledge, but that he couldn't elaborate more.

The Marquette Legal Initiative for Nonprofit Corporations (M-LINC) provides free legal advice for qualifying Wisconsin nonprofits with legal questions in the following areas: real estate, intellectual property, bankruptcy, employment, corporate, tax, and federal and state registration requirements.
A qualifying nonprofit is a charitable, religious, civic, community, governmental, or educational organization designed to address the needs of persons of limited means or facing barriers to justice.
M-LINC assists qualifying nonprofits at a weekly clinic held at Marquette Law School (1215 W. Michigan St., Milwaukee, Wis.) The clinic is run on an appointment only basis.
To request an appointment with M-LINC, fill out the appointment request form. *THIS FORM IS FOR NONPROFIT ORGANIZATIONS ONLY.* Other brief legal advice questions (e.g., landlord tenant questions, family law, etc.) are addressed at the Marquette Volunteer Legal Clinics). Legal advice is not provided via telephone or email. Our volunteer attorneys may only give legal advice during the scheduled appointment.
