KOHLER, Wis. — Although plenty of athletes have used sports to lift themselves up from difficult backgrounds, Lizette Salas' path to the pros isn't the sort of story that's often heard in golf.
The 22-year-old Salas shot a 3-under 69 in the first round of the U.S. Women's Open on Thursday, grabbing a share of the lead along with fellow Americans Cristie Kerr, the 2007 Open winner, and Brittany Lincicome.
Salas is the daughter of Mexican immigrants from Azusa, Calif., a city with a history of gang issues outside Los Angeles. With help from her family, she used golf to earn a scholarship to USC — and now, a spot on the LPGA Tour and a share of the Open lead.
With her family on hand to cheer her on this week, Salas sees her play as a tribute to her parents.
"My dad still works long hours out on the golf course, my mom also," Salas said. "So this is just my way of repaying them for all their sacrifice and all their work they've done for me."
Third-ranked Ai Miyazato, the Japanese star coming off a victory Sunday in the LPGA Tour event in Arkansas, was a stroke back along with 17-year-old Lexi Thompson, Jennie Lee and Beatriz Recari. Seven players — including No. 5 Na Yeon Choi and No. 6 Suzann Pettersen — shot 71 in the nearly 100-degree heat and high humidity that turned Blackwolf Run, a challenging 6,944-yard course in central Wisconsin, into a boiler.
Defending champion So Yeon Ryu finished with a 74. Se Ri Pak, who won the Open at Blackwolf Run in 1998, shot a 72.
Top-ranked Yani Tseng shot a 74. She would become the youngest player to complete a career Grand Slam with a victory this weekend.
Michelle Wie also opened with a 74, and second-ranked Stacy Lewis shot 77.
Cheyenne Woods, Tiger Woods' niece, had a 75.
Salas began playing at age 7 thanks in large part of her father, Ramon, who is the head mechanic at a golf course and offered to do odd jobs for a local pro if he was willing to teach Salas how to play.
"He didn't have that much money to pay for lessons because they're really expensive," Salas said. "I didn't have golf shoes. I didn't know how to dress, nothing like that. They worked out a deal where my dad did handyman favors for them. My dad fixed cars on the side, and that's how I got started. Just been swinging ever since. Haven't stopped."
As Salas began playing in tournaments, she and her father would drive long distances and sleep in the car to save money. Even now that Salas is a professional, the family still sometimes travels the country in its high-mileage 2006 Toyota Tacoma.
"We like that truck," Salas said. "It's red and it has 'USC dad' on it. I think it has over 90,000 miles on it. We've had some great memories, laughed and shed tears in that truck.
"And I often slept in it. It's been a good, it's been a fun adventure, and just going to keep going and making more experiences."
The other leaders have an edge in terms of experience.
Kerr is a 14-time winner on the LPGA tour. But she was winless in 2011 after winning at least one tournament in each of the previous seven years.
Kerr, who birdied three of her first seven holes and made it through the day without a bogey, feels a different level of energy at the Open.
"This is where I want to perform," she said. "This is the stage I want to perform on."
The long-hitting Lincicome has five career LPGA tour wins, including a major win in the 209 Kraft Nabisco Championship.
Going into this week, breaking par didn't seem possible at Blackwolf Run.
"Obviously today shooting 3 under I have to kind of rethink my strategy, and obviously under par is very doable," Lincicome said. "If you can keep it in the fairway, hit it in the right spot on the green and I made a couple long putts today which was nice."

The fourth in a new series of classic detective stories from the vaults of HarperCollins involves a tragic accident during a shooting party. As the story switches between Paris and Hampshire, the possibility of it not being an accident seems to grow more likely.
The Detective Story Club, launched by Collins in 1929, was a clearing house for the best and most ingenious crime stories of the age, chosen by a select committee of experts. Now, almost 90 years later, these books are the classics of the Golden Age, republished at last with the same popular cover designs that appealed to their original readers.
The Mystery of the Skeleton Key, first published in 1919, has the distinction of being the first detective novel commissioned and published by Collins, though it was Bernard Capes' only book in the genre, as he died shortly before it was published. This is how the Detective Club announced their edition 10 years later:
'Mr Arnold Bennett, in a recent article, criticised the ad hoc characterisation and human interest in the detective novels of to-day. The Mystery of the Skeleton Key contains, in addition to a clever crime problem and plenty of thrills, a sensible love story, humour, excellent characterisation and strong human interest. The scenes are laid in Paris and Hampshire. The story deals with a crime committed in the grounds of a country house and the subsequent efforts of a clever young detective the track down the perpetrator. The Selection Committee of The Detective Story Club have no hesitation in recommending this splendid thriller as one which will satisfy the most exacting reader of detective fiction.
©2015 Bernard Capes (P)2015 HarperCollins Publishers Limited
"If Hugh had returned from hunting by another path, or if he had left his gun behind him, or if one could have told just when the shot was heard, perhaps the murder of beautiful Annie Evans might have been cleared up without so much effort on the part of the famous Sergeant Ridgeway from Scotland Yard, or so much mutual suspicion on the part of the various guests assembled at the Hall. Baron Le Sage of doubtful fame might have gone on playing chess, and pretty Audrey's love affairs might not have become so tangled. But it's just as well as it is, perhaps, for the result of all these complications is a thoroughly exciting detective story." (Black Mask Magazine)
"Bit of a slow start"
I liked the story when it got going but it's quite wordy unnecessarily at points. I wouldn't read another audiobook by the same author as I felt I had to persevere to get into the story

Happy Birthday to Kunal, Avinash, Devoleena and ZohaibFollow us on Social Media

Its time to bestow uncountable blessings to the stars that are born today (22 August).
We are talking about smarty Kunal Karan Kapoor (Na Bole ), Avinash Sachdev (Iss Pyaar Ko ), Devoleena Bhattacharjee of Saath Nibhaana Saathiya and Zohaib Siddiqui currently seen in Ek Boond Ishq and Sadda Haq.
We know you all are excited to learn about their birthday plans so without much ado lets call and ask how are they celebrating the day.
Shared Kunal, Well, there is nothing special for the day just packing my bags and planning to head for another weekend gateway. This birthday has been quite good as friends came over last night and surprised me with a cake and I also received lot of messages and wishes from friends and fans. In the evening, will be going out with friends for a quiet dinner.
Who was the first one to call and wish you? My dad called me first and wished me.
Do you feel bad if someone forgets your birthday? I would not feel bad for I am also bad at remembering birthdays.
Later we got in touch with Devoleena who said, Like every year on this birthday I went to Siddhivinayak to seek bappas blessings. Later I went for lunch with my family. Last night my friends brought in my birthday with cakes and I also cut a cake on the sets today. My evening is booked with my close friends. I simply love birthday as you get pampered and get all the attention. The best part about birthday is gifts. My mom gifted me a gold earring which is very pretty. I have told everyone on the set that I want a gift from each and everyone.
Avinash and Zohaib remained unavailable for comment.

When I t each fundraising planning, step one is to identify your assets.
An asset is defined as a useful and desirable thing or quality. It can also be described as an item that can be converted into cash (real estate for example).
So what does this have to do with your nonprofit? As an organization, you have assets that you can leverage in your fundraising plan that can make your case for support stronger.
Here are some examples of nonprofit organizational assets:
- Compelling mission (like feeding the hungry or housing the homeless)
- Large donor base
- Incredible organization name recognition (like Habitat for Humanity)
- Well-known staff or Board members
- Facility that lends itself well to a tour (like a clinic, shelter, or food pantry)
- Organizational vehicles that are driven around town regularly
- Website with LOTS of daily visitors
- Opportunity for earned income (like a thrift store or gift shop)
- Well-known local, regional, or national celebrity who supports your organization
- Something else?
I helped a client evaluate their assets recently to find that they had a HUGE email list they weren't doing anything with. They'd been taking names and email addresses for a couple of years, and sending out e-newsletters regularly, but had never asked for a gift. It was a no-brainer to me that we needed to ask! We did, and raised a quick $10,000 for the nonprofit.
Another organization I worked with had an awesome facility that lent itself really well to tours. They were able to create a tour that they promoted to their donors and prospects, and brought hundreds of people onsite over the course of a couple of years to see first-hand what their work was about. Most donors increased their giving after the tour experience.
So, what are your nonprofit organization's assets?
Take a few minutes today (or better yet, at your next staff and/or Board meeting) to compile a list of assets that you can use help raise more money. Decide how you can leverage your assets, then get busy.
Those assets won't do you any good unless you do something with them.

The Great and Powerful Oz
Remember in The Wizard of Oz, when Toto started tugging at the curtain behind which the old scamster was pulling levers; and the big scary face intoned, "Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain"?
The Great American Meltdown we're watching now has much in common with that other great American tale. This time The Great and Powerful Wizard is Alan Greenspan.
Amazingly, it wasn't that long ago that Greenspan's every word and gesture were parsed by stockbrokers and investors worldwide for coded signals about that unfathomable Mystery of Mysteries: Free Market Capitalism. As if he were an anointed messenger from on high, for years the whole of Wall Street sat at his feet waiting for his latest pronouncement. The public was assured that what was going on was too complicated and esoteric for them to understand; but that whatever it was, it was to be unconditionally trusted. We were told that, ultimately, all would be revealed when the Great Trickle-Down came to pass. Through Reagan, Bush, Clinton and Bush, moguls and fat cats reassured the little people with phrases that sounded like invocations from an alchemists' convention: the Magic of the Marketplace, they said, would correct all economic imbalances. Through its Invisible Hand all financial crises would be averted.
Now, with the huge Neptune (which governs illusion, as well as the taking-away of illusion) transit hanging above us, and the Saturn/Uranus opposition T-squaring the USA's own Neptune-Mars square, a thirty-year scam has been exposed. Like the looming face of the Wizard of Oz, the Invisible Hand of the Marketplace has been revealed to have been a smoke-and-mirrors sham.
This turn of events calls to mind another unquestioned post-war truism, similarly taken as gospel right up until the moment when it was disproved by events: the Domino Theory of Communism. Growing up in the fifties and early sixties, we little boomers trembled in our boots at the implications of the Domino Theory. I remember in fifth grade being told by my Weekly Reader that the Free World would collapse if we didn't support the Viet Nam War.
But then, suddenly — poof! The whole scary scenario just petered out without a whimper. Kind of an anticlimax. And oddly enough, afterwards I don't remember hearing any mea culpas from the Domino Theory's fire-and-brimstone prophets. Does anyone remember a single one of those hundreds of pundits and politicians stepping up to the mike and saying, "Uh, I guess we were wrong about that whole domino thing"? Maybe they were too busy forging lucrative contracts with their former mortal enemy. How convenient, for those war-promoting businessmen, that the Vietnamese turned out to be such sharp and ready trading partners for American companies.
But the early Kennedy years were a different universe. When the mid-to-late sixties arrived, the group mind crossed a definitive threshold, associated by astrologers with the Uranus-Pluto conjunction that was opposing Saturn at the time (1964-67). Millions of people, notably those of us who were then under thirty, had their consciousnesses wrenched upwards. And then there was Watergate. Public naivete would never be the same. Of course, it could be argued that the co-option of all this energy into consumerism, and the passive cynicism that developed to accompany it, were worse for the collective soul than naivete ever was.
In any case, now that the long Bush nightmare has segued into the glorious dawn of Obama, there is a new public mood of citizen engagement. The populace is more hip; ready to spot fat-cat chicanery when it's staring us in the face. At this writing a surge in popular outrage has the American airwaves abuzz. The recipients of those AIG bonuses must be sweating in their beds at night, listening for lynch mobs on the lawn.
Since the economy started breaking down last fall, some remarkable facts and figures have been making their way into the stunned consciousnesses of taxpaying citizens. No longer tucked behind the veil of the Beltway, where the deals are made, these facts are being discussed among ordinary folks.
It was not exactly a secret that during the past few administrations, the real incomes of 90 per cent of Americans shrank smaller and smaller while a tiny percentage of plutocrats got very, very rich. It's just that it wasn't part of the public conversation. And now it is. More crucially, it is starting to dawn on more and more people that none of this was a fluke. The ever-widening disparity between America's haves and have-nots was not some weird, unaccountable accident. The system was set up so that exactly this would happen.
Whether you describe what's going down in the USA as a subprime mortgage collapse, a credit crunch, a recession, or just Capitalism Doing Its Thing, one way to get a bead on it is to compare and contrast it to its most obvious recent antecedent, the Great Depression of the 1930s. That one was agricultural and industrial-based, and hit small towns and farmers; the current one is financial sector-based, and is hitting cities and suburbs. Right when people need them the most, the life-supporting social safety nets are getting decimated. Organized labor is the weakest it's ever been.
In a financial climate where the median US income is $50, 000 a year with wages stagnating, we've just watched our leaders hand after trillions of our tax money to the banks; and as a coup de grace, we hear CEOs go on the air whining that the bankers "can't live on $150 to $180, 000." One company head, in response to Obama's wage-cap plan, had the supreme lack of tact to complain to the press, "Five hundred thousand is not a lot of money".
One would think these words would be enough to provoke full-scale riots. After all, rebellions in other places in other epochs were triggered by disparities far less outrageous than these.
But most Americans see revolution as something that only happens in history books. Rebellion has already been shanghaied by Madison Avenue: it now means getting tattooed, perhaps, or wearing ripped jeans at your cousin's wedding.
Still, a great many Americans, now waking up to the fact that the system was rigged, are mad-as-hell-and-not-going-to-take-it-anymore. Just like Peter Finch in Network. Alas, the fact that this image is already a media cliché should tip us off to what is happening here: The public's anger has become a human interest story.
Historically, citizen outrage has always terrified the powers-that-be. Whether in Elizabethan England or in sprawling postmillennial America, there's nothing that threatens an establishment more than civil unrest. And though there are signs that the feds have a contingency plan to cope with this messy spectacle the old-fashioned way, should it come to that (see March's Skywatch on this website), they have at their disposal a much more efficient means of containing mobs; and it is being deployed right now. They are making Citizen Outrage the subject of the evening news.
Co-opting popular outrage through the media is far more effective than strong-arm tactics. The consolidation of the telecommunications industry was polished off during the Bush era; the 24-hour-news cycle and its vapid infotainment conventions are already in place; and Jon Stewart has an enormous youth audience primed to see everything that happens — no matter how tragic or world-altering — played for laughs (last week's Daily Show segment on public reaction to the AIG bonuses was smirkily
entitled "Indig-NATION"). The American meta-media is the perfect instrument with which to defuse the mass energy that, in a pre-technological age, would have erupted into genuine popular rebellion.
Who knows what direction this could take if everybody turned off their televisions?
Today, on the sixth anniversary of the war in Iraq, there will be demonstrations in several American cities. The theme of the protest is the discrepancy between the staggering amount of money — never mentioned in the media, despite all this talk about the federal budget — that the US spends on wars of occupation (in Iraq, still — despite the cant about "withdrawal"; in Afghanistan, where more troops are being sent, not fewer; and in Palestine, where American taxpayers pay for the slaughter [see Blogspot from 12/28/08]); and the claims that there is no money for education, health care, housing and jobs.
This Equinox is a preview of the globe-changing transit building above us in the sky (see http://www.mothersky.com/writing/27_The_Cardinal_Cross_Years_2010-12.html). The Sun is spotlighting the degree of the Grand Cross upcoming, and the Neptune conjunction is getting ready to hit the US Moon.
Transits to the Moon, which in a country's chart represents The People, mean the native is coming home. Will Americans come home to ourselves at last? Will we click our ruby slippers together and realize that we, the ordinary folks, have had the power the whole time?

Apricot-Glazed Turkey with Fresh Herb Gravy
The gorgeous mahogany color of this roasted turkey comes from a glaze of lemon-infused apricot jam.
Total Time:
Level: Moderate
Serves: 12
- 1 fresh turkey
- 1 tbsp. canola oil
- kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
- 1 lemon
- 6 clove garlic
- 6 large thyme sprigs
- 4 large Rosemary sprigs
- 4 large Sage sprigs
- 1 bay leaf
- ¾ c. apricot jam
- 1½ tbsp. fresh lemon juice
- 2 tsp. grated lemon zest
- 1½ tbsp. finely chopped sage
- kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
- 3 c. turkey stock
- 4 tbsp. unsalted butter
- ¼ c. all-purpose flour
- 2 tbsp. chopped parsley
- 1 tbsp. finely chopped sage
- 1 tsp. chopped thyme
- kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
- To make turkey: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Remove turkey from refrigerator at least 30 minutes before roasting. Pat turkey dry and set it on a V-shaped rack in a large roasting pan. Rub turkey all over with oil and season it inside and out with salt and pepper. Stuff cavity with lemon halves, crushed garlic, thyme, rosemary, sage, and bay leaf. Roast turkey about 2 1/2 hours, until golden all over and an instant-read thermometer inserted between leg and thigh registers 165 degrees.
- Meanwhile, to make glaze: In a small bowl, mix apricot jam, lemon juice, lemon zest, and sage and season with salt and pepper. Microwave glaze until thinned slightly, about 20 seconds.
- Brush turkey with half of glaze and roast about 15 minutes, until skin is mahogany-colored. Brush turkey with remaining glaze and roast about 15 minutes longer, until skin is deep mahogany and an instant-read thermometer inserted between leg and thigh registers 175 degrees. Tilt turkey to drain all juices from cavity into roasting pan. Transfer turkey to a carving board and let rest 45 minutes.
- To make gravy: Skim fat from drippings in roasting pan. Set roasting pan over high heat and bring to a boil. Add turkey stock and cook 2 minutes, scraping up browned bits from bottom of pan.
- In a medium saucepan, melt butter. Add flour and cook over moderate heat until smooth, about 2 minutes. Strain 3 1/2 cups of liquid in roasting pan into saucepan and whisk to blend. Bring gravy to a simmer and cook over moderately low heat, whisking occasionally, until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes. Stir in parsley, sage, and thyme and season with salt and pepper. Pour gravy into a small pitcher. Carve turkey and serve with gravy.

As a Pacers fan, I really hate to say anything even remotely complimentary about the New York Knicks. (Side note: John Starks sucks.)
Still, it's impossible to not recognize how good the MSG Network is. It shows a lot of classic Knicks stuff, which is great because Clyde Frazier is the flyest known human and each time they talk about Game 7 of the 1970 NBA Finals, it draws us one step closer to the day we all collectively stop erroneously referring to it as "The Willis Reed Game" and start rightfully calling it "The Clyde Frazier Game." (Walt dropped 36 points, 19 assists and 5 steals on 12-17 shooting from the field and 12-12 from the line.)
Additionally, the network often shows great non-Knicks performances very often as well. Currently, for instance, the channel is showing a program called "Returns to MSG," which is featuring things like MJ's "Double Nickel" game where he dropped 55 on the Knicks in his first trip to the Garden after failing to succeed in minor league baseball and Bernard King's first game playing in New York after signing the Washington Bullets. It also includes MSG returns of guys like Clyde (who was dealt to the Cavs), Patrick Ewing (who played pretty well for Seattle), Mark Jackson (who dropped 18 and 8 and did some shimmying with the Clips), Pat Riley (who was nearly lynched for bolting to Miami), Charles Oakley (who is a guy so dope even a Pacers fan has to love) and Jeff Van Gundy (who was so gutter ghetto girls fell in love with him). Epic stuff. (0n a related-but-not-related note, this morning someone shared this YouTube link with me from when AI returns to Philly.)
In other news, the MSG Network often airs some good street ball stuff from Rucker Park, which is rare to see on television ever since ESPN's "Streetball" show overexposed and trivialized the And 1 Mixtape phenomenon even quicker than it ruined Texas Hold 'Em. And it just so happens that right before the "Returns to MSG" show, they were showing the "EBC at Rucker" show. Basically, it is what it says it is: a show of highlights from current and past Entertainer's Basketball Classic tournament action from Harlem's legendary Rucker Park.
This episode concluded with one of the greatest moments in Rucker History. It was 2003 and David Stern showed up — and brought his friend President Bill Clinton with him. The two luminaries sat there in attendance watching the action and seemed at home even though they both stood out for their overwhelming whiteness and all-eyez-on-me fame. In an interview conducted some time later, EBC announcer Al Cash aptly reflected upon what having these two men in the stands meant for NYC basketball: "It was a good look for Harlem."
Better still was the fact that rapper Fat Joe's "Terror Squad" team was playing that day and one of the other announcers had the foresight to borrow Joey Crack's gaudy "TS" chain and put it around Stern's neck.
And even better than that is the fact that there's a photo of said incident.

One of the most surprising things I learned about during our recent trip to Brainerd, MN was that many photographers are tethering their cameras to their computers for transferring photos over for processing. While tethering via cable is always an option, there are many risks to doing so, and during our talk, we took a few minutes to share some reasons why it's better to use a card reader than to import from your camera. Since there were so many people that seemed to appreciate the insights, I thought I'd take some time to share some of those insights here:
- Speed – Card readers have nothing else to do other than transfer data onto and off of a card to a computer. No camera firmware is required, no menus need to be loaded, and no power is needed. It's a simple plug-and-play process for practically any computer and you can increase your transfer speeds significantly by taking this route over camera direct transfers. Seriously…with the super fast UDMA cards out there today, you can really see a decrease in transfer times, which gets you on with other things even that much quicker.
- Reliability – Because cameras are such advanced devices that have so many working parts and components, the process of connecting them to a computer does take a certain toll and if the cable is frayed, or a connection is lost, or even power is lost, you can risk losing and/or corrupting your images during the transfer process. Eliminate the risk of losing those precious memories you've created and use a card reader!
- Conserving Battery drain – In Minnesota it was cold! We were in negative temperatures for a good portion of our stay, and with lower temps comes decreased battery time. If we had to deal with draining our camera batteries to transfer images to a laptop or desktop computer, they likely would not have lasted. It's important here to remember that plugging a camera into a USB port isn't like plugging in a phone or other devices. Plugging in doesn't charge the batter, it discharges the battery! Something to keep in mind when conserving your battery life.
So, what kind should you get? The answer here (as always) starts with "It depends…" What kind of camera and card are you using? Do you have multiple cameras and multiple card format types? Cards range in size and format from SD, CF, to Memory Sticks, and other proprietary sizes and shares. Formats also include the new UDMA which increases write/read transfer rates, and varying capacities from extended capacity (XC) and other older ones which may require specific types of readers. Check these considerations before making a purchase. My suggestion though is to get a reader that can read both standard capacity cards as well as the XC formatted ones. These can be found for as little as $5 through sites like Newegg.com and Amazon, but the better quality ones are available through camera retailers like B&H Photo, Adorama, and Sammy's.
There are, of course, other reasons to use a card reader over a camera for data – and I could go on with a quite extensive list here, but would really like to hear from others: what are your reasons for using a particular transfer setup? Do you have a reader preference? Or are you using the camera to tether? Sound off in the comments with your own ideas and suggestions!

Do you know where you shine and where your true self hides on dates?
Time and time again, the men I interview and work with tell me the number one thing they are attracted to (outside of physical attraction, which varies widely from man to man) is…drumroll please… CONFIDENCE!
Confidence is such a subjective word. What does confidence look like? What does it feel like? What is missing when you don't feel confident? In order to create confidence you uncover who you are at your very core. Beneath all the masks you wear in hopes of fitting in, being loved, getting approval, or coping with the ups and downs of life as an adult woman in the twenty-first century, there is a version of you that is real and free from the dark voice of your "inner critic." In order to discover the "you" who lives beneath the masks—the real you—it's important to look at the roles in your life in which you shine the brightest.
Discover Where You Shine
Whether it is as a parent, co-worker, employee, professional, sister, mother, daughter, volunteer or friend, there are various places in which you're not afraid to play big. Think about what these roles are and note what's similar about them. Are there common threads? Why do you feel comfortable and confident in these roles? Is it because of the way you feel in this role, or is it the way you're treated by others when you're in this role? Perhaps it's a combination of both.
Discover Where Your True Self Hides
Make a list of roles in which you feel scared, afraid and lacking of confidence. Why does your true self hide in these roles? What aspects of this role hold you back from being your true self? What are you afraid of? Becoming aware of the roles in which you shine and those that make you feel fearful or inadequate is an important step in discovering your authentic self: the "real you." Once you begin to see the common threads in these roles, you can begin to explore ways to bring the confident you to even those roles that make you feel awkward and unsure. Once you get comfortable being the real you in various situations, you'll begin to see how you can better bring the you that must start at the beginning, shining to the dating table. It will not only increase your attraction factor, but it also enable you to feel more authentic, happy, and whole.

Child Care Subsidy Grant Program: Changes for 2017
Swarthmore College seeks to provide benefits and programs that best support the changing needs of our campus community and routinely reevaluates those benefits and programs.
The College pilot Child Care Subsidy Grant (CCSG) program for 2017 was carefully developed in consultation with the Faculty Staff Benefits Committee; multiple factors were considered during the program's development, including a review of the costs of local child care and child care options offered by other colleges, including peer institutions.
The pilot CCSG program will allow eligible families to receive a taxable award of up to $3,000 towards child care expenses in 2017. This pilot program is intended to help some of our employees manage the high cost of child care. The pilot program is in its second year due to available funding. A program review will be conducted annually as we assess our benefits and programs each year.
Employees may apply if they meet the following criteria:
- You must be a College employee in a benefits eligible position for a minimum of one year;
- You have a child or children under the age of six as of January 1, 2017;
- Your adjusted household gross income is $130,000 per year or less;
** Families with children over the age of six (6) who are not physically or mentally able to care for themselves (regardless of age).
Additional requirements apply; please see the enrollment form below for more information. Employees who are deemed eligible will receive the grant in one lump sum, which they are required to use towards any child care provider in 2017.
Please review the program guidelines and the application. Join us for informational sessions on February 24, 2017 in Bond Hall.
If you have any questions please contact Theresa Maguire at firstname.lastname@example.com or ext. 5793.

I'm going to add blog post every now and then with good ideas about a forced topic, and today it's conference rooms.
First I've noticed is making sure that the projector screen is sufficiently dark. Maybe lights could be closer to people in terms of where there heads are so light doesn't spill out and affect the projector.
I think when something is projected onto a screen, the area of attention is minor, and a lot on the screen is just wasted real estate on context. So if we focus on just the interesting part of the screen and zoom in on that, then people with poor eyesight can see what's happening.
I think presentations that go over an hour should be broken up. No one can concentrate for that long. Maybe 25 minutes and then a five minute break, enforced by a health and safety policy. I wonder whether it would be more productive.

Aceh man tells of eight days at sea - on a tree

An indonesian tsunami survivor, who was swept out to sea, drifted on debris in deep ocean for eight days surrounded by dead bodies "left and right".
Rizal Shahputra said yesterday he had been cleaning a mosque in Banda Aceh in Sumatra on December 26 when screaming children rushed in to warn him about the tsunami.
The surging waves then swept them all out to sea.
Mr Shahputra, 23, was rescued by the cargo ship MV Durban Bridge on Monday and brought to Klang in neighbouring Malaysia yesterday.
Recounting his ordeal, he said he clung to floating planks and wood with scores of other people - all of whom were eventually swallowed up by the sea.
"At first, there were some friends with me," a sunburnt, weak-looking Mr Shahputra told reporters before being taken away in an ambulance to a local hospital.
"After a few days, they were gone . . . I saw bodies left and right.
"Everybody sank, my family members sank. There were bodies around me."
Mr Shahputra lived on rainwater and coconuts, which he opened with a door latch he had found in the floating debris. He said at least one ship sailed by without noticing him.
Then, the crew of the MV Durban Bridge container vessel spotted Mr Shahputra floating on an uprooted tree, about 160 kilometres west of Aceh.
Mr Shahputra, who suffered cuts on his legs, has been hospitalised in Klang town, east of Kuala Lumpur.
The ship's chief officer, Huang Wen Feng, described his survival as "a miracle".
"When I saw him, I was very very surprised to see someone standing," Mr Huang said.
"He was shouting at us. I couldn't believe it."
Mr Shahputra's ordeal and miraculous survival mirrored that of an Indonesian woman who held on to a sago palm for five days in the Indian Ocean after the tsunami swept her from her home.
Malawati, 23, was rescued by a Malaysian tuna ship and arrived on Monday in Malaysia's north-western Penang state, where she has been hospitalised.
Officials said she had been bitten by fish and was traumatised by the ordeal.
Malawati kept herself alive by eating the palm's fruit and bark.
Indonesian officials have been trying to trace Malawati's husband, who was missing.

18 Weeks
By the time you are 18 weeks pregnant you are nearly halfway through your second trimester and if you haven't already started doing your basic antenatal exercise then now may be a good time to begin. Antenatal exercises are specifically designed exercises for pregnant women that aid the increasing demands of carrying the weight of your baby around and also help you to get back in shape quicker after the birth. If you have not done any exercising before then you need to start slowly and build up gradually.
Pregnancy 18 Weeks – Exercising
Antenatal exercising includes:
Shoulder Rolls – Keep your chin tucked in and your neck stretched long. Lift your shoulders rhythmically up, back, down and round in large circles (very relaxing if done to music). By doing this 6-8 times with each shoulder can ease any aching or tension you may have in your shoulders, neck and upper back.
Tummy Strengtheners – Progesterone is responsible for relaxing a lot of your muscles and ligaments in pregnancy to make way for your growing baby. If you gently exercise your lengthening and widening abdominal muscles it will help to ease related aches and pains that you can experience in your back and ribcage. There are actually 4 muscle layers in your abdomen so it's important to work the deepest muscle, known as the tranversus muscle.
Many women struggle to get back into shape after giving birth, but a lot of what you do to get back into shape successfully will usually begin long before the birth. In order to work that tranversus muscle you will need to get onto all fours. Keeping your back completely still and straight (no sagging), pull your belly button in towards your spine holding it for a few seconds, then let it out and repeat 6-8 times.
Click Here for an issue of 'The Fit and Healthy Pregnancy Guide!'
Pelvic Floor Exercises – This is an essential pregnant exercise that you should ideally begin long before you are 18 weeks pregnant. The pelvic floor muscles are very important for keeping the abdominal walls in place and keeping us continent. Pelvic floor muscles are in both men and women and if they become weakened then we would be unable to control the flow of urine (or even faeces) whenever we laugh, coughed or sneezed suddenly. In women, these muscles can be put under enormous strain during pregnancy and especially birth, which is why it is essential that you begin these exercises as soon as possible to avoid problems later.
These exercises are really simple to do. Simply imagine that you have a full bladder and are desperate to pass urine, the muscles that you pull are your pelvic floor muscles, contract them in an upward motion and hold for a few seconds then release. Also, imagine that you are trying to grip hold of something internally, again hold for a few seconds and release. Repeat this exercise in batches of 6-8 throughout the day, wherever you are, and remember to keep breathing normally. It is not advised to do this exercise whilst you are actually passing urine by stopping it mid-flow as this can lead to urinary tract infections.
Leg Squats – This simply strengthens your leg muscles for the extra weight that you will be carrying in the coming months. Holding onto something secure, bend both legs in a straight line with one foot approximately 30cm in front of the other. Lower your legs slowly into 2 right angles until your back knee is almost touching the floor then raise slowly back up to the starting position. Repeat this 6-8 times, then change legs.
18 Weeks Pregnant – Healthy Pregnancy
As your pregnancy advances and your weight increases you will need to ensure that you maintain a good posture at all times by standing, bending and sitting in the correct position with your back straight and feet flat on the floor. If you need to pick anything up then bend only the legs, keeping the back straight.
A lot of first time mothers begin to feel the movement of their babies for the first time. Another thing, now that you're 18 weeks pregnant, is you should be able to feel your uterus just below your bellybutton and will be starting to show a little.

Jerusalem (Nov. 3)
Two Jews died today and at least five more persons were wounded in a series of clashes between police and extremists and between the dissidents and the Haganah.
The majority of the battles were concentrated in Tel Aviv, opening in the pre-dawn hours this morning with a skirmish between Sternists defacing street signs and a Haganah patrol, during which two of the extremists were captured by the police.
They were released several hours later by a band of their comrades who invaded the Apak police station, armed with sub-machine guns. The invaders, who caused ## damage and no casualties, also carried off a cuantity of arms which were stored in the building.
A Sternist died outside a police station in the northern part of Tel Aviv this evening, when another Sternist attempted to rescue him from a policeman who had caught him posting leaflets. The constable was seriously wounded in the gun duel.
Two other British policemen were wounded, one seriously, in another encounter with the Stern Group, Attempting to apprehend a group of "literature" distributors, the policemen drew fire from the underground members, all of whom are reported to have escaped.
In Jerusalem, a 45-year-old Jewish sergeant in the Criminal Investigation Division, Shalom Gurewitz, was shot dead while seated at home eating lunch by several youths, reportedly Sternists, who invaded his home. Gurewitz is said to have received several threatening letters warning him to give up his police work.
A harmless, but noisy bomb was detonated in front of a Haganah head quarters building in Tel Aviv at dawn this morning in reprisal for the Haganah attack on the street sign defacers. The raiders also fired several shots, but no one was injured. later in the day, a bomb was thrown into the home of M. Herzig, 40-year-old manager of a bus company, who is reputedly a Haganah official.
In the suburbs, Shevach Abner, a 23-year-old youth, was seriously wounded when he was fired on by an armored car which passed him while he was motorcycling.
The Anglo-Palestine Bank in Pardess Chana was robbed of nearly $3,000 tonight by two youths who invaded the premises, subdued two bank officials and ransacked the premises. The robbers are believed to have been extremists.

Urbana Fire Department maintains insurance rating
URBANA — Fire-insurance rates for Urbana homeowners will stay as low as possible after officials were notified by the Insurance Services Office that the city's fire department has maintained its Class 2 rating.
The ISO reviews are infrequent — the last inspection was in 2002, when the Urbana department first got its Class 2 rating.
ISO inspectors visited the Urbana department this year to examine items such as equipment, training, staffing, the city's water system and the strategic locations of fire stations, Fire Chief Mike Dilley said.
The office scores fire defense on a scale of 1 to 10, with 1 being the best possible rating. Dilley said the Class 2 rating means the department is providing high-level service.
City officials are not trying to move up to the Class 1 rating, which would require more fire employees.
"The amount of money that it would cost us to do that is not beneficial for the citizens," Dilley said.
Moving up to the Class 1 rating would not affect residential fire-insurance rates, Dilley said. It would lower rates for commercial properties.
Urbana's rating matches Champaign's — the Champaign department's Class 2 rating also was reaffirmed earlier this year.

Investors had plenty to look forward to this week. Apart from macroeconomic numbers, including inflation, and speeches from US central bank chairmen, the results season is upon us again.
Six days of financial market optimism came to an abrupt end last Tuesday
Ben Steinebach Head of Investment Strategy
After a quarter marked by financial market turbulence – due in particular to declining growth in the emerging markets – a few nerves are in evidence as we wait to see how badly this has affected the earnings of multinationals. Thirty-six of the companies making up the S&P500 index published their third-quarter figures, including the big US banks and leading businesses like Intel, Johnson & Johnson, Schlumberger and, on Friday, General Electric. Schlumberger's figures in particular are interesting for what they tell us about the current state of the oil sector. In Europe, the German software developer SAP, luxury goods manufacturer LVMH and food giant Nestlé all published third-quarter figures. ASML and Unilever were in the spotlight in the Netherlands. Investors could also take satisfaction from some big takeovers and IPO announcements.
Increased grounds for concern?
Six days of financial market optimism came to an abrupt end last Tuesday when the prices of risky assets like shares, oil and base metals (copper and zinc, for instance) fell on disappointing import and export figures from China. The following reasons were cited:
- Declining inflation in China, the United States and Europe;
- A sharp dip in the confidence of German investors in their economy (ZEW index);
- Speeches by US central bank chairmen that offer investors little guidance as to precisely when the Fed will decide to raise its key rate; and
- The continuing slide of emerging market currencies, particularly those of commodity-exporters like Colombia, Russia, Indonesia, Brazil and South Africa.
All this is sparking uncertainty about the state of the world economy. Investors don't like that, as it leads to volatile markets. We share these concerns in the short run, which is why we think the Fed will not raise its key rate until next year.
Investors shook off such worries on Thursday. More and more economists take the view, as we do, that interest rates are going to stay low for longer. This made for a positive mood, since higher interest rates generally make it less attractive to invest in equities.
Start of a new takeover cycle?
Apart from company results, a whole lot of major new acquisitions caught the attention. The Belgian-American brewer AB InBev – number one in the global beer market – announced a bid for its South African rival and world number two SAB-Miller. The bid is worth over USD 100 billion, with USD 60 billion to be funded through the issue of bonds. The same goes for computer maker Dell's announced takeover of the cloud services supplier EMC. In this case, USD 45 billion is being borrowed for the acquisition via a bond offering. Low interest rates are making it easier for companies to fund acquisitions like this.
In addition to takeovers, new companies are coming to market. Intertrust, for instance, was launched on Euronext Amsterdam at an issue price of EUR 15.50 per share. Ferrari's IPO was announced in Italy and the sports car manufacturer is also expected to be granted a listing on the New York Stock Exchange this month.
Corporate results better than expected
American companies lead the way when it comes to the speed with which they publish their quarterly figures. The results of the five biggest US banks were more or less in line with expectations. Wal-Mart shares were Wednesday's worst performer. The world's largest supermarket group is predicting a sharp dip in earnings next year due to the increase in the minimum wage from USD 9.00 to USD 10.00 per hour and investment in new online sales channels. The stock price slid almost 10%, knocking just under USD 20 billion off Wal-Mart's market value. SAP had better news to report: the German software developer expects revenues and profit from its cloud operations to grow further in the years ahead. The darling of the Dutch stock market – chip equipment maker ASML – presented its third-quarter figures on Wednesday. CEO Peter Wennink used the occasion to sound a note of caution about the future. 'Chip producers are becoming more hesitant with their orders as Chinese economic growth slows down.'
Nestlé, the world's largest food producer, is taking a more cautious line on sales growth in 2015. During the presentation of the third-quarter figures, CEO Paul Bulcke cited factors including a slower-than-anticipated recovery in Chinese sales. Nestlé was also adversely affected by a prohibition on the sale of Maggi noodles in India. Investors can look forward to more company news next week, particularly from listed US companies. Expectations may not be high, but in a market like this in which there is a considerable amount of uncertainty, both positive and negative surprises can have major repercussions.
Ben Steinebach's column was written this week by Mark Schneiders.

from The American Heritage® Dictionary of the English Language, 4th Edition
- n. The process of chemical and physical change in deposited sediment during its conversion to rock.
from Wiktionary, Creative Commons Attribution/Share-Alike License
- n. All the chemical, physical, and biological changes sediment goes through during and after lithification, not including weathering or other surface changes.
from The Century Dictionary and Cyclopedia
- n. In geology, the action of heated waters upon clastic sediments at the time of their deposition, assumed to explain the origin of crystalline schists: proposed by Gümbel (1888); employed by Walther to embrace those physical and chemical modifications which take place in a sediment from the time of its deposition to the time when it is modified by orogenic or volcanic forces, when it undergoes metamorphism.
Sorry, no etymologies found.
The book Diagenesis in Sediments was published in 1967, almost a hundred years after introduction of the term "diagenesis" in eological literature, i.e., in 1868, in Von Guembel's major work Geognostische Beschreibung des ostbayerischen Grenzge birges.
My interests include sedimentology, stratigraphy, and diagenesis - with an emphasis on deserts.
Examples include inefficient fat transfers in aquatic food webs (i.e., biomagnification) [10], the loss of organic carbon in settling particles or during sediment diagenesis [11], the decrease of snow surface area as crystals become more compact during aging or the entire loss of snow surface during melting [12], or cryogenic concentration during the formation of ice [13] (Fig. 8.23).
Or it might involve the diagenesis of organic matter into coal.
We use a model of ocean and sediment geochemistry, which includes new developments of iron limitation of biological production at the sea surface and anoxic diagenesis and its effect on CaCO3 preservation in the sediments, to evaluate the current proposals for explaining the glacial/interglacial pCO2 cycles within the context of the ocean carbon cycle.
The model incorporates a new sedimentary diagenesis component which simulates the role of CaCO3 compensation in determining atmospheric pCO2, and a new iron cycle component, which predicts the effect of atmospheric iron deposition on carbon uptake by photosynthesis.
Changes in biological production and water chemistry affect the diagenesis and burial of CaCO3, and hence pCO2.
The sequence errors observed are therefore not reflective of DNA diagenesis in the CPC98 but are most likely artefacts of the sequencing method used.
Espinoza said that with the increase of unconventional shale and tight sand development, there is a growing need for proppants with the fractional toughness of a lightweight ceramic and the diagenesis resistance of resin-coated sand.
Schrag, D.P. (1999) Effects of diagenesis on isotopic record of late Paleogene equatorial sea surface temperatures.

China's booming economy is driving demand for coal, oil, power, and transport that far outstrips national supplies, potentially leaving millions nationwide in the cold, the China Daily said on Tuesday.
BEIJING China's booming economy is driving demand for coal, oil, power, and transport that far outstrips national supplies, potentially leaving millions nationwide in the cold, the China Daily said on Tuesday.
National authorities had warned that shortages of resources could trigger power cuts in at least nine provinces this winter, the newspaper said.
"The coming of winter will once again increase power consumption. Together with reduced power generation in the summer, this sharpens the contradiction between supply and demand of power," Cao Yushu, spokesman of the State Development and Reform Commission, was quoted as saying.
Some 24 provinces suffered blackouts in the first nine months of this year, despite a 14.5 percent year-on-year increase in power generation during the period to 1.56 trillion kilowatts. Nationwide power supplies ran short by 30 million kilowatts over the summer, Cao said.
Coal is the major source of fuel in China, and the country's coal industry, already the world's biggest and most hazardous, has expanded with little regulation to keep up with demand.
Deaths from coal mine accidents surpassed 4,000 in the first nine months of the year. In the worst mine disaster in the country in years, a blast ripped through a mine in central China last Wednesday, killing at least 91 people, with rescuers holding out little hope for 57 still missing, state media said.
But an unflagging national appetite for coal means many mines will continue to push production levels beyond safe limits.
Coal supplies in the country's capital, Beijing, were running below the alert line for both power and civil use, forcing city authorities to secure another 500,000 tons of coal for heating by the end of the year, the Xinhua news agency said.
Lack of water, not power, is proving a more pressing problem in southern China.
More than a million people in normally flood-prone Guangdong province, bordering Hong Kong, did not have sufficient drinking water, and tens of thousands of hectares of rich cropland had dried up, the newspaper said.
With water reserves at major reservoirs dropping dramatically across Guangdong, the drought is taking a heavy toll on the cities of Shenzhen, Zhuhai, Huizhou, and Dongguan in the Pearl River Delta, China's fastest developing region.
Months of hot weather and drought had also dried hundreds of reservoirs and damaged sugar, rice and corn crops in neighboring Guangxi.

City Guides >
The Bavarian city of Munich, centre of southern Germany, is one
of the country's favourite tourist destinations, offering a unique
combination of modern flair and traditional charm, all mixed
together with a heavy helping of 'Gemutlichkeit', the special
German term for hearty, happy, healthy togetherness.
Traditionally the city, famous for its breweries and beer halls,
conjures up images of jolly red-cheeked, portly men in lederhosen,
downing steins of beer. There is plenty of this fun to be had, but
Munich and the Bavarian region has plenty more to recommend it to
visitors. The city has numerous great museums, art treasures,
hi-tech industries and gems of Gothic and Baroque architecture. It
is also the gateway to the Bavarian Alps, drawing winter sports
enthusiasts from near and far.
Munich itself was founded in 1158 on the River Isar, and
acquired its name, Munchen (home of the monks) from its first
monastery. It was the monks that started the beer brewing tradition
for which the city is now world famous, particularly since it
started celebrating an annual beer festival in 1810. Today close on
six million people visit the Oktoberfest every year, and consume
more than five and a half million litres of beer during its
two-week run.

The Prisoner 5 – with Vika: (new video product)
Female Slave – Lot 3209 – Tilly McReese:
Sent for Bondage 2 with Paisley Prince –
Vika in Karjira Training – nude slave training
One aspect of female education that has been sorely lacking , particularly, since the feminist movement of the 1970's is proper slave training.
Also, known as "kajira training" young women receive the key skills to be submissive to men. Therefore, not only do the men get what they want and need, that is, a properly submissive female, but the women in turn receive the dominant attention they all so desire!
Therefore, Archives BBS hereby institutes a program of training for every model. This training actually began in "Sent for Bondage 2 with Paisley Prince", but the training continues in "The Prisoner 5 – with Vika".
Here, for instance, Vika demonstrates a modified "Nadu" slave position. Rather than placing her hands palm up on the thighs, they are placed behind her back, each hand grasping the opposite elbow. Her breasts thrust outward as a result!
Voluminous content exists on the internet regarding kajira training, and the seminal works of John Norman.
Several rules binding the recipient of kajira training.
- Several strict rules bind the recipient of kajira training.
- The kajira must be nude
- The kajira may not speak unless commanded to do so
- Kajira may not touch her own skin or her hair
- The kajira must remain in position when under direct attention of her master
- A kajira will be punished for not remembering the slave positions
Don't miss this crucial training on Archives BBS video programs.
Imposition of the Ball on the prisoner Olivia
Also in today's update in another in the series of videos from " Olivia's Bondage Weekend" wherein Olivia is dressed up in the style of a mid-2000's era secretary; pencil skirt, high heels, and a cute cap-puff sleeve top.
This continues the previous video in this series, and a large (full-size) 2 1/2 ball-gag is strapped into Olivia's generous size mouth. Transport shackles prevent her from removing or touching the intruder that robs her of intelligible speech.

The crisis at the Southern border is getting worse, and tensions are running high on both sides of the illegal immigration debate. President Obama knows that allowing as many illegal immigrants as possible into America increases his chances of creating a permanent liberal governing majority. By opening the borders and plying illegal immigrants with services, he can make them a loyal voting bloc for the Democratic Party.
Obama has an obligation to protect Americans. His highest constitutional duty is to protect Americans from all threats foreign and domestic. Continue Reading: HERE
