Undeclared, or undecided, students may feel unsure for a variety of reasons about choosing an academic major at Pitt-Johnstown.
Academic Success Center
Students often have interests in several areas but do not feel they have enough information about particular programs or careers to make a firm decision.
Students sometimes simply do not want to have to choose among programs at an early stage of their college careers, or they want to remain undeclared while keeping options open.
Other students are committed to completing a college education but are genuinely undecided about a specific field. Regardless of the reason, many students are wise to postpone declaring a major. The Academic Success Center can help.
You are not alone. In many cases, students declare majors that turn out to be an inappropriate fit for their interests, values, skills, and personality. It is also true that many students change their interests and career goals once they've completed one to two semesters. If you find yourself unsure about your current major, consider becoming Undeclared until you are ready to make a decision. ASC staff works closely with Real World Career Services to help you with major and career exploration.
Delaying the choice of a specialized course of study will allow you some flexibility to explore programs and disciplines. However, you should become active and engaged in this exploration process. Taking various courses to determine interest and aptitude for a discipline is a good place to start, but it is not enough. Pitt-Johnstown offers more than 40 different majors; yet, most incoming students can name only a small handful. Your advisor, as well as Real World Career Services staff, can help you explore majors and careers and choose classes that represent broader disciplines. Ideally, your eventual choice will match your talents, passions, and aspirations. While your academic advisor will help guide you, it is up to you to take charge of the exploration process. You are allowing yourself the time to make an informed decision, so be sure to take advantage of it. Be sure that you are moving forward. Most students should be moving into a major by the fall semester of the sophomore year.
Before declaring your major, it is always a good idea to discuss your plans with your academic advisor. To declare a major, visit the appropriate division office. For example, if you want to declare pre-business, visit the Business and Enterprise Division office in 101 Biddle Hall. You will complete a Major Change Request form and you will be assigned a new academic advisor. See: Academic Divisions
Through the ASC Undeclared advising experience, you will:

One thing to know about our book club
We are the Saint Patrick High School Book Discussion Groups. Marilyn Wenzel, head librarian for 21 years, started the book discussion groups in 1999 when Mayor Richard M. Daley declared that every school should have a book club. The book discussion groups, separated by year, started with 42 members. Now we have 10 groups and 147 members. Pictured are the seniors who have participated in book discussion groups for all four years of high school.
Our meetings
Each group meets once every five weeks during lunch or homeroom period.
We loved
"Rot & Ruin" by Jonathan Maberry because it showed how people would react to a global disaster. We also enjoyed "Ender's Game" by Orson Scott Card, "Acceleration" by Graham McNamee, "Divergent" by Veronica Roth and "Life As We Knew It" by Susan Beth Pfeffer.
We hated
We didn't like "Vampire High" by Douglas Rees because it was too corny.
If we could meet a famous author
We would like to meet Veronica Roth. We'd ask her when the third (and final) book in the "Divergent" series is coming out.
Up next
"City of Thieves" by David Benioff, "Thirteen Reasons Why" by Jay Asher, "The House of the Scorpion" by Nancy Farmer and "The Warrior Heir" by Cinda Williams Chima.

The Band Perry Offer a Peek at Road Life in 'Don't Let Me Be Lonely' Video
The Band Perry's 'Don't Let Me Be Lonely' video explores life as a touring band. The clip show us how things play out while on the road, splicing footage of the sibling trio performing with scenes of them alternately combating boredom and enjoying the scenery that this sometimes rote, oftentimes glamorous lifestyle provides.
The band certainly offers a peek at what its professional life is like. We see them listening to their iPods, loading up their tour bus with gear, watching the scenery they're passing while on trains and boats and traveling to the next destination, hanging out in dressing rooms and texting or Facetiming with others. It's a mixture of mundane and thrilling, which is how the lifestyle is for most bands.
These few minutes capture their existence. Despite the sometimes wistful nature of living out of a suitcase and traveling to play music, there are scenes of the band on stage, clearly loving and living for what they do. It makes all the downtime worth it.
So while you may not know what it is like to be in an actively touring band, the Band Perry offer a bite-sized taste of that existence with their 'Don't Let Me Be Lonely' video. Go ahead -- disappear into that world for a few minutes.

When you're in the bicycle business like we are, you hear lots of rationalizations for not wearing helmets. But, we've been riding and helping people get into bicycling for a long time and we've experienced, seen and heard all kinds of amazing saves by cycling helmets, so we always promote their use.
Often the hazard is unpredictable like a falling branch on a windy day. Or a squirrel darting in front of you causing you to lose control. You just never know what might happen. And since when you're sitting on a bicycle, you have a long way to fall, it's only smart to get and wear a helmet on every ride.
Besides the safety aspects, helmets provide shade from the sun, cooling airflow and they make you look like a cyclist — and a safe one. Their nice, bright finishes and elegant shapes help you be seen out on the road and trail too.
Helmets are Better than Ever
Modern women's cycling helmets are light, airy and super comfortable. When you can visit our store and try some on, you'll probably agree that you hardly even know they're on your head. In fact, studies have shown that the latest helmets actually insulate so well, that they keep you cool on warm days and vice versa too.
And, equally important, they've gotten more stylish and fashionable. Gone are the days when you wore a slightly advanced styrofoam cooler on your head. For all of these reasons, most cyclists today wouldn't dream of pedaling down the road or trail without a nice helmet.
Features and Fit
Helmet technology for women and men is the same so you always get top safety and features. In general, more and bigger vents mean a lighter helmet at a higher price since it's more of a challenge to make a light helmet with larger holes just as strong.
Regardless of price, helmets offer fitting systems inside for a snug, safe and comfortable fit. The first step is trying the helmet you're interested in on to see if its basic shape fits your head shape nicely. This is important because helmet companies use different shapes for their helmets and you want to get one that feels just right on your head.
Models and Differences
Once you've found the helmet that fits your head, you should choose which model you like. Entry-level models usually have more of a universal fit with padding inside that's washable and replaceable. As you look at the models with more features you get into full-on retention systems, like harnesses that cradle your head and are adjustable.
All helmets have straps and buckles that hold them in place, too. These are adjusted to hold the helmet square on your head and low over the forehead for protection. There are stiffer and softer straps and different types of adjustments and buckles that you might prefer so it's worth looking at these details.
You might also appreciate having a visor on your helmet to shade your face and deflect things if you ride off road. Some visors are removable and/or adjustable to position them just right.
If you wear cycling eyewear or plan to purchase some, it's a good idea to try it on with your helmet to see and feel how it fits. Usually there's no problem, but sometimes the temples or helmet straps might need to be adjusted for clearance.
There are helmets aimed at different types of cycling, too, from road riding, to mountain biking, to commuting, to even dirt jumping and downhilling. In general this means that they offer features that make sense for that type of riding. So, a commuting model might include a visor or reflective details, a racing model might have a more aero shape, bolder graphics and be ultra light, and a jumper's helmet would have more head coverage. There's no reason you can't use whatever helmet you like for whatever type of riding you do, though. So don't feel locked into any one type.

Hughes: Handshake up to players
Mark Hughes insisted he had no idea which of QPR's players planned to snub John Terry after Park Ji-Sung joined Anton Ferdinand in blanking the Chelsea captain before the goalless draw between the sides.
Ferdinand refused to acknowledge Terry and Ashley Cole as expected during the pre-match handshake at Loftus Road. It was not known how many of his Rangers team-mates would follow suit but it was still a surprise to see skipper Park - who played alongside Ferdinand's brother Rio at Manchester United - do the same, something the midfielder repeated during the coin toss.
Hughes said: "They had the discussion and I was made aware that some were prepared to shake the opposition's hand and some weren't. I didn't know which individuals and I wasn't going to push the point. It was a personal decision for each and every one of them."
Hughes was hoping talk of pre-match handshakes would draw to a close following the game.
Reiterating his opposition to the ritual, he said: "For goodness sake, we've been talking about it for God knows how long. I think it's done and dusted now.
"It's something and nothing in my view. I thought the game was what was important today and, thankfully, it was played in good spirit."
Chelsea boss Roberto Di Matteo was pleased with how Terry - who was cleared by a court of racially abusing Ferdinand this summer - and his team-mates conducted themselves during and after the so-called pleasantries.
"Both sets of players have shown a great attitude," he said. "They have shown how professional they are and they have played the game in the right spirit and it was a good derby to watch."
Hughes was equally effusive about Ferdinand, saying: "I thought Anton was excellent alongside Ryan Nelsen.
"I was pleased the players didn't lose their focus. Obviously, there was a danger of that but I realised that was not going to be the case the moment it kicked off."

3. Why the NVR can't search the camera, or it can be searched, but it can't be connected?
A: Make sure the Onvif protocol is compatible between NVR and camera, and the IP address of the NVR and camera must in the same network segment.
4. I have more than 250 units IP camera, how to assign IP addresses?
A: You can use the second type IP, such as 10.0.0.1(subnet mask: 255.255.255.0) IP address, please consult to your network administrator.
5. I just received two cameras, why the first can visit, the second can't to visit?
A: For convenient debugging, every network IP camera uses the same default IP address. But each camera's MAC address is not the same, and the operating system will cache IP and MAC address information of the former network camera, so the second network camera with the same IP address will can't visit.

After retailers, including Hhgregg Inc. /quotes/zigman/462162/delayed /quotes/nls/hgg HGG and J.C. Penney Co. /quotes/zigman/237947/delayed /quotes/nls/jcp JCP saw their stocks punished this week after signaling that their holiday sales missed expectations, investors are bracing for possibly more downbeat news come Thursday.
Among about a dozen retailers that still release monthly sales figures, December same-store sales, excluding drug stores, are expected to rise 1.9% on average, compared to a 7.2% gain a year earlier, according to Thomson Reuters. Costco Wholesale Corp. /quotes/zigman/67728/delayed /quotes/nls/cost COST , for instance, is expected to see a 1.8% gain, compared with a 9% increase a year earlier. Gap Inc. /quotes/zigman/227242/delayed /quotes/nls/gps GPS , parent of Old Navy and Banana Republic, is expected to report a 1.5% increase, compared with a 5% increase a year earlier. Its largest unit, Old Navy, is expected to see a 1.8% decline, Thomson Reuters data showed.
Granted, the holiday season scorecard more accurately depicts shoppers' behavior when November and December sales are looked at together. This is especially true this year, when factoring in the late Thanksgiving in 2013 and the fact that there were six fewer days between that holiday and Christmas compared to the year before. However, even with all these factors considered, sales numbers still don't look great.
Retailers' fiscal fourth-quarter comparable sales, which includes data that will be collected through the end of January, are expected to see a meager 1.1% increase, according to Retail Metrics data.
Meanwhile, mall-traffic tracker ShopperTrak said on Wednesday that in-store sales — which it said still represents about 90% of retail sales despite growth online — rose 2.7% in November and December to a record $265.9 billion. That marked the slowest growth rate since 2009. In-store traffic declined by almost 15%, according to the traffic tracker.
Retailers increased discounts in days ahead of Christmas, and the days after Christmas, leading the week ended Dec. 28 to account for 15.5% of the season's sales and 16% of its traffic, ShopperTrak data showed. It added that four of the top-10 sales and traffic days fell in that week.
"Consumers have a certain amount of money," said Bill Martin of ShopperTrak in an interview. "What we saw was when deep discounts came back, consumers responded. It's when we saw the greatest activity. But we worry about the margins."
While they don't typically report monthly sales, other chains, including teen retailers like American Eagle Outfitters Inc. /quotes/zigman/183513/delayed /quotes/nls/aeo AEO and Aeropostale Inc. /quotes/zigman/304381/delayed /quotes/nls/aro ARO are expected to release their holiday updates on Thursday.
"We would not be surprised to see the teen players report holiday (comparable sales) on Thursday and bring down guidance," said Brean Capital analyst Eric Beder. "Tough comparisons, weak fashion trends, stupid inventory decisions and a customer who knew how to play the waiting game increasingly questioned the need and value of logoed items conspired to create one of the toughest environments in any retailing segment for the teen players."
Other retailers including bookstore operator Barnes & Noble /quotes/zigman/132169/delayed /quotes/nls/bks BKS , as well as jewelry retailers Tiffany & Co. /quotes/zigman/243577/delayed /quotes/nls/tif TIF and Zale Corp. /quotes/zigman/131594/delayed /quotes/nls/zlc ZLC also are expected to release their updates this week. Best Buy /quotes/zigman/219712/delayed /quotes/nls/bby BBY is expected to report next week.

Sioux Falls Extends Snow Removal Deadline
If you were afraid to find a ticket at home after work for not getting the snow and ice off your sidewalk this afternoon, we've got good news and bad news.
The good news is there won't be a ticket waiting today. The bad news is you still have to figure out a way to get all that ice off your sidewalk before Thursday afternoon at 2pm.
With the warmer sunny afternoon weather in Sioux Falls today and even warmer temps expected Wednesday (highs pushing 40) it will hopefully be a little easier to get the walks cleared.
And no, the plows likely won't be coming down your street to clear up THAT mess. The city only issues snow alerts to plow those streets if we get over two inches of snow. The storm that hammered much of South Dakota Saturday into Monday only left about 1.8 inches of snow.

New York, January 7, 2010—The Committee to Protect Journalists calls on the Xining provincial court in Qinghai province to allow imprisoned Tibetan documentary filmmaker Dhondup Wangchen to appeal a six-year prison sentence he was given last week.

Chinese police arrested Dhondup Wangchen in March 2008, after he completed filming for the documentary "Leaving Fear Behind." Dechen Pemba, the film's spokesperson, described his secret detention on the CPJ blog last month.
"The detention and trial of Dhondup Wangchen have been

Let $F = \langle a,b \rangle$ be a non-abelian free group.
Question: Is there an algorithm that takes as input $x,y,z \in F$ and answers the question whether $x$ is a product of conjugates of $y$ and $z$, i.e. whether there exists $g,h \in F$ with $$ x = gyg^{-1} \cdot hzh^{-1} ?$$
It is obvious that there exists an algorithm that enumerates all products of conjugates of $y$ and $z$. What is missing is a certificate that $x$ cannot be written in this form. Sometimes (like in the case of the word problem or the membership problem for finitely generated subgroups), this part is done by looking at the finite quotients and finding one finite quotient so that $x$ is not in the product of the conjugacy classes. Hence, one starting point would be to ask if the product of conjugacy classes is closed in the pro-finite topology. This was conjectured by Stallings to hold even in the pro-p topology and disproved (in the pro-p case) by Howie in
The p-adic Topology on a Free Group: A Counterexample, Math. Z. 187,25-27 (1984)
It might hold in the pro-finite topology, but this seems to be difficult. Anyhow, I am just looking for an algorithm, maybe this can be done without looking at the finite quotients.

E. H. Wilson and North American Trees: Oaks
As is the case with the Washington Elm and the Cushing Elm described in the previous post, many oaks also became intimately affiliated with venerable human beings and were named after them. As far as I know, an entire book about the cultural history of the oak tree in America still remains to be written, but oaks seem to have a reputation similar to elms in North America. In addition to elms, plant explorer Ernest Henry Wilson (1876-1930) also photographed many famous North American oaks, such as the Eliot Oak. The Eliot Oak stands "a few rods east of the Unitarian Church in S. Natick [Massachusetts]." It is a very old white oak that possibly dates to at least the 1650s, and according to one legend that gives rise to its name, the Reverend John Eliot (1603-1690) preached to Indians beneath its canopy. Professor Stowe, in an address on the 200th anniversary of the town of Natick, described Eliot as "a man of great versatility, and very superior intellectual power. Doubtless he had his equals, but never a superior in Christian zeal and goodness."
The famous poet Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1807–1882) personified and commemorated this oak in his "Sonnet on Eliot's Oak" (1877):
THOU ancient oak! whose myriad leaves are loud
With sounds of unintelligible speech,
Sounds as of surges on a shingly beach,
Or multitudinous murmurs of a crowd;
With some mysterious gift of tongues endowed,
Thou speakest a different dialect to each;
To me a language that no man can teach,
Of a lost race, long vanished like a cloud.
For underneath thy shade, in days remote,
Seated like Abraham at eventide
Beneath the oaks of Mamre, the unknown
Apostle of the Indians, Eliot, wrote
His Bible in a language that hath died
And is forgotten, save by thee alone.
These verses emphasize the human traits of the oak, as its leaves murmur loudly with "sounds of unintelligible speech," that nonetheless communicate the word of God and the wonders of his natural world just as the preacher Eliot presumably did. Also, the final lines acknowledge Eliot's authorship of the Algonquin Bible, the first Bible printed in America and written in the Algonquin language.
The Avery Oak is yet another oak specimen with humanized, religious associations, and Wilson also photographed it in 1923 (photograph M-21). The Avery Oak is a town icon for Dedham, Massachusetts. Dendrochronology shows that the tree actually matured fully before the town of Dedham (previously called "Contentment") was founded in 1636. The tree was initially a center for religious meetings prior to the establishment of Parish Church in 1638, and also served as a town bulletin board for posting public notices in the 1880s. The tree almost became construction material for "Old Ironsides." William Avery was offered 70 dollars for the tree, but declined the offer because Mrs. Avery was supposedly very attached it. Mr. Avery did, however, make a chair and table from branches dislodged in a violent thunderstorm. He presented the chair and table to the Dedham Historical Society. The Society took possession of the tree itself in 1886, and tree surgeons struggled to keep it thriving. A 1938 hurricane damaged the tree beyond repair, and in 1973 another thunderstorm finally destroyed it. Remnants of the tree are closely guarded by the Historical Society, since visitors have attempted to sneak away with bits of the tree as souvenirs. Even in its current state, this oak is still an object of desire as a vital piece of history, its fragments inciting memories and cultural associations as strong as the tree itself once inspired. Even when trees are cut down or succumb to the ravages of nature, their memory endures.

Why aren't all Orthodox Churches in the States under the under the jurisdiction of the Orthodox Church in America? Here in Phoenix the Greeks,Serbs, Antiochians, and Russians have their own church buildings, but I was wondering why don't they have the same bishop? I know cultural heritage is important but is there the necessity to have various bishops to have jurisdiction over the same area ? Has this caused problems before?
The problem is, the Roman Church considers such a practice OK, while the Orthodox Church - not OK.

My First Tutorial - Nintendo DS Pouch
Email me at whatkatydiddesign (at) gmail.com, and i will email you the pdf tutorial within a day. It is 12 pages long with instructional drawing and photos. I would love to here feedback from anybody who makes one, was it easy to understand, could i improve any instructions. You are all my guinea pigs!
I was given a Nintendo DS by my husband for my birthday (one of those presents that you know the giver is just as excited about getting - and using - as the receiver). The first thing I had to do, after I played Brain Train and Sonic for hours, was make a pouch to keep it in.
I posted a picture of it here and Heather asked me to make her one to put in our swap. So i thought maybe there might be some other people out there interested in making one to!
This finished pouch is available, maybe we could do a swap, just leave a comment if you are interested.
Also don't forget to enter my giveaway here, only 3 days to go!.

Quick question (from someone who does not have a DS) - what are the measurements of the DS and the games? That would be a handy edit on the tute for those of use who don't have them.
I'm off to cut my fabric now...

The East Hampton Town Police Department has said that the human remains found on a Gardiner's Bay beach Sunday were, according to the Suffolk medical examiner, those of a 20-to-30-year-old man of unknown ethnic background.
In a release to the media Tuesday morning, authorized by East Hampton Chief Ed Ecker, police said that the autopsy, completed Monday, had determined that the man had been small in stature, and that there were no obvious signs of trauma. Chief Ecker confirmed reports that the body was found without a head.
A local resident walking his dogs found the body at about noon Sunday in the surf line between Big Albert's Landing Beach and the Bell Estate. An East Hampton Town Marine Bureau officer was the first on the scene; he confirmed that the body was human. The town police dive team was called in to search the surrounding area. After an investigation on the beach, the body was taken to the Suffolk Medical Examiner's office in Hauppauge.
East Hampton Town police are continuing their investigation, in conjunction with the medical examiner's office and Suffolk police. Police have asked that anyone with information about missing persons in the area phone the town detective division at 631-537-7575.

More Peace Process HypocrisyWritten by Stephen Lendman Subject: Israel - Palestine
by Stephen Lendman
On April 6, John Kerry began a multi-nation tour. He'll travel to Europe and East Asia. His first stop is Turkey. He'll meet with Netanyahu and Abbas. He wants peace talks restarted. More on that below.
Peace process deception is policy. It's always been a charade. It is now. Israel wants it that way. So does Washington.
It's been stillborn from inception. It's a scam. It doesn't exist. Palestinians never had a legitimate partner. For sure they don't now. Netanyahu deplores peace. So does Obama. Both are warrior leaders.
Israeli Defense Minister Moshe Ya'alon once called peace talks a useful fiction. They're used "to sear deep into the consciousness of Palestinians that they are a defeated people," he said.
Golda Meir said Palestinians don't exist. They "never existed," she claimed. She deplored peace. She wanted all Arabs out of historic Palestine. "(M)y conscience would be absolutely clear" dispossessing them, she said.
Former prime minister Yitzhak Shamir wanted talks dragged out for years. He hoped doing so would facilitate settlement expansions. Other Israeli leaders felt the same way.
Since 1967, variations of Yigal Allon's plan reflect official policy. Elements include:
• permanent militarized occupation;
• "maximum land with minimum Arabs;"
• dispossessing Palestinians from areas Israel wants exclusively for Jews;
• annexing all valued parts of Judea and Sumaria;
• controlling Greater Jerusalem;
• claiming the international city as Israel's exclusive capital;
• establishing settlements, military bases, free-firing zones, commercial locations, tourist sites, nature reserves; no-go areas, Jews-only roads, checkpoints, other barriers, and other exclusively Jewish areas;
• stealing Palestinian resources; and
• cracking down harshly on resisters.
Hamas is Palestine's legitimate government. In January 2006, its candidates won 74 of 132 legislative seats. Fatah president Abbas has no legitimacy.
Israel rigged his election. His term expired in January 2009. He's Israel's man. He's a longtime collaborator. He performs enforcer services. He spurns his own people.
Peace talks have no legitimacy. How can they with Palestine's democratically elected government excluded?
The term "process" is more slogan than reality. It's been so for decades. It's a useful fiction. It buys time. It lets Israel steal all valued Judea and Samaria areas. It wants Palestinians dispossessed and isolated.
Rashid Khalidi is Columbia University Edward Said Professor of Arab Studies. He believes decades of talks buy time for Israel. They facilitate settlement expansions. They let Israel sever Jerusalem from the West Bank. He sees no end to peace process hypocrisy.
On March 12, his New York Times op-ed headlined "Is Any Hope Left for Mideast Peace?" Since the 1978-79 Camp David Accords, "peace (is) less attainable (now) than ever," he believes.
Washington's done "nothing to prevent Israel from gradually gobbling up the very land the two-state solution was to be based on."
Until the 1991 Madrid peace conference, most Palestinians traveled freely. "Today, an entire generation of Palestinians has never been allowed to visit Jerusalem, enter Israel or cross between the West Bank and Gaza."
Ghettoization defines their existence. It reflects the "tragic fruits of the so-called peace process the United States has led." Doing so indulges "Israeli intransigence."
It sacrifices Palestinian rights. It spurns peace. The Camp David Accords ignored the "Palestinian question." Oslo left final status issues unresolved. Two decades later, they still are. They're fundamental.
They include recognizing Palestinian self-determination, East Jerusalem as their capital, borders, the right of return, settlement expansions, water rights, and more.
Obama deplores peace. He "strengthened the Israeli far right. (He) burnished the image of the United States as Israel's uncritical defender and enabler."
He "insults the intelligence of the Palestinian people. (T)hey deserve to be more than prisoners in their own land."
Peace process hypocrisy isn't about ending occupation, halting settlement construction, or recognizing Palestinian self-determination.
What's "the purpose of pretending to restart it," asked Khalidi? Israel's "overwhelming dominance" excludes reciprocal concessions. Two unequal partners preclude legitimate talks.
Israeli Jews alone have rights. Millions of Palestinians "live in a state of subjugation or exile." Another 1.2 Palestinian Arabs are second-class Israeli citizens.
Years ago two states were possible. No longer. Israel controls over half the West Bank and much of East Jerusalem. More is added daily. When completed, the apartheid wall will control over 10% of Palestine.
A one-state solution "based on enduring discrimination and oppression is ultimately unsustainable." It's worse than apartheid South Africa.
Obama has two choices. He can support the status quo. He can keep bankrolling it.
"Or he can begin to chart a new course based on recognition that the United States must forthrightly oppose the occupation and the settlements and support an inalienable Palestinian right to freedom, equality and statehood. There is no middle way."
Hours after arriving in Istanbul, Kerry began talks with Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu. He's expected to press for normalized Ankara/Israeli relations. He wants Prime Minister Erdogan involved in restarting peace talks.
State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland said "Turkey has significant influence with the Palestinians. It has the ability to encourage (them) to accept Quartet principles and move forward on that basis."
On May 16, Erdogan will meet with Obama in Washington. Turkey wants involvement in Israeli/Palestinian relations. PA/Hamas go-between services were offered earlier.
Then Egyptian President Mubarak rejected them. He said Cairo had the "monopoly" on brokering conflict discussions. Egypt's still reluctant to involve Turkey. So is Israel.
Erdogan's closer to Hamas leader Khaled Meshal than Abbas. He'll visit Gaza, he said. No date is set. Entering through Israel is unlikely. So is arriving by sea. Rafah crossing from Egypt is most likely. Doing so requires permission.
Kerry hopes to use Turkey's influence advantageously. He wants Erdogan to get Meshal to recognize Israel. He won't do so without reciprocal recognition. No chance whatever suggests it's possible.
At the same time, an unnamed US official traveling with Kerry said he'll "encourage Turkey to expeditiously implement its agreement with Israel and fully normalize their relationship to allow for deeper cooperation between the two countries."
Kerry's no honest peace broker. He's a imperial warrior. He's Israel's man at state. His Senate pro-Israeli voting record was impeccable.
He supports occupation harshness. He's comfortable with settlement expansions. He's silent about stolen Palestinian land.
He urges strengthening Israel's security. He values America's special relationship. He backs generous financial and military aid.
He calls Jerusalem "Israel's indisputable capital." He favors moving America's embassy there from Tel Aviv. Doing so is illegal. It's a UN-declared international city.
He's no friend of Palestine. He never was and isn't now.
Dispossessed Palestinians don't bother him. Nor does stealing their land their resources.
He deplores Palestinian liberation. He supports wrong over right. He's against humanitarian missions to besieged Gaza.
After Israel's May 2010 Mavi Marmara massacre, he said Israel "has every right in the world to make sure weapons are not being smuggled in."
Activists on board had none. They brought food, toys, stationary, kitchen utensils, mattresses, towels, construction materials, and other vital items Gazans need.
Kerry's job involves furthering America's imperium. He endorses unchallenged US dominance. He wants peace talks restarted. He claims Israel is "committed to peace." It never was and isn't now.
He said today marks "a moment when we can renew some kind of effort to get the parties into a discussion to have a different track than we have been on over the last couple of years. I would like to try to do that."
Peace talks require commitment by both sides. Palestinians never had a legitimate partner. They don't now. Israel doesn't negotiate. It demands.
Jews alone have rights. Arabs are considered subhuman. It shows in how they're treated. Institutionalized barbarism is policy.
Peace is pure fantasy. It's the most spectacular deception in modern times. Palestinian rights don't matter. They have no say. Expect Kerry to change nothing. It bears repeating. He's Israel's man at State.

Hubble Pinpoints Farthest Protocluster of Galaxies Ever Seen
NASA's Hubble Space Telescope has uncovered a cluster of galaxies in the initial stages of construction – the most distant such grouping ever observed in the early universe.
In a random sky survey made in near-infrared light, Hubble spied five tiny galaxies clustered together 13.1 billion light-years away. They are among the brightest galaxies at that epoch and very young, existing just 600 million years after the universe's birth in the big bang.

Usain Bolt And His VERY Forgiving Girlfriend Are ENGAGED
After a VERY eventful Olympics, on and off the track, it seems Usain Bolt now has something else to celebrate.
He and long-term partner Kasi Bennett are now reportedly engaged. The athlete allegedly got down on one knee and proposed to Kasi while on a trip to Bora Bora.
He then took to snapchat with a photo of the two of them with the caption 'She said yes!' and a bride emoji.
This comes after Usain Bolt was pictured kissing and in bed with several other women during his stint in Rio. A photo of him sitting behind a woman for a selfie, seemingly naked and in bed with her has become famous.
The woman, who it has been claimed is a mum-of-two and the widow of a notorious drug lord known as Diná Terror, has since said she is 'dying of shame'.
Brazilian student Jady Duarte, 20, shared pictures which appear to show her kissing and cuddling the sprinting sensation after his 30th birthday bash in Rio.
His sister spoke out recently about his indiscretions, saying that her brother and Kasi are a solid couple and will stay together because they're so in love.
Speaking from her hometown of St Andrews near Kingston, Jamaica, Christine said: 'I'm sure Kasi will be used to it by now. 'She is used to seeing pictures like this.
'People ask for pictures with him and he is always willing to have pictures. 'She is used to him being in the public domain.'
Congratulations to the happy couple?

During a liver transplant, a surgeon removes your damaged liver. That liver is replaced with a healthy one from an organ donor.
Liver transplants are done to treat long-term (chronic)
hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection only after all other treatments have not worked. That's because transplanted organs can become reinfected with HBV.
Liver transplants are most often done
at large medical centers. Transplants are very expensive.

What our Customers Say about our Service
"It is in difficult times that you really know the character and quality of people. The same applies to business and companies.
There we were. Living in Australia and wanting to send a gift basket to our uncle in the US, celebrating his amazing 100th birthday. We did it through Gift Basket Overseas and were happy with the user friendly site. Simple process. Short and efficient. To our surprise, the basket didn't arrive at the date promised. We began an investigation, compounded by an 18 hour time difference between Sydney, Australia and Scottsdale, AZ. From day one, every single customer representative we corresponded with only had one thing in mind: to resolve the problem. Through many iterations we found out I had a typo on the street name and although the zip code was correct, the courier delivered to an address that was not our uncle's. GBO sent a replacement basket at their cost and still that didn't make it to him. After a lot of investigations and the personal involvement of their customer service director, we finally had the gifts arrive at their destination. A very big thank you and we can assure you that you now have a customer for life and I will be recommending you to my friends. You showed us what customer service is all about. Thanks!"
Andre T - North Ryde NSW, Australia - Apr 11, 2018
"Mike called me today, all emotional and showed me the basket over Skype. He just returned from his business trip in NYC and found the gift at his door steps! I selected the exact gift he wanted, he is happy as a kid. Thank you!"
Irina - Moscow, Russia - Mar 13, 2017
"Thank you so much for a great experience...great selection, timely delivery, and freedom from having to deal with customs and shipping. Great experience overall."
Janet S. - Arlington VA, USA - Sep 22, 2015
"I gave a very short notice on my order. Giving them less than 2 business days and wanting it delivered on the weekend. Between those two facts, I figured my package wouldn't be on time. But I was pleasantly surprised to realize it arrived exactly when I wanted it to! The service is fantastic and ill definitely be using them again. "

The realization happened, like many do, over pints of beer at a Seattle bar.
You know, the most influential year for 1990s music was 1994, my buddy Morgan Marshall said.
What? 1994? But the grunge era started way before that, and monumental rap albums came out years before. Why was 1994 so great?
He made a pretty strong case.
Look at the artists who had debut major-label albums that year: OutKast, Nas, Notorious B.I.G., Warren G, Weezer, Dave Matthews Band, Ben Harper, Usher, Soul Coughing, Korn, Bush, Oasis, Keb' Mo', Marilyn Manson. Many of those artists are still around today, and those songs from 1994 still resonate.
And the Seattle grunge bands were still big in '94. Soundgarden released "Superunknown," which went platinum five times. Pearl Jam released "Vitology" – the one with "Better Man" and "Nothingman" – and Alice In Chains' "Jar of Flies" became the first EP to debut atop the Billboard 200 album chart.
After Nirvana front man Kurt Cobain died in April 1994, sales of Nirvana albums took off. And their MTV Unplugged disc – considered by some to be the best Unplugged performance – was released in November 1994.
Even bands that were around for decades had big years in '94. The surviving Beatles officially released their BBC tapes and began recording new songs for their Anthology to release the following year, and The Eagles began their Hell Freezes Over tour – their first since their 1980 breakup. The Rolling Stones released "Voodoo Lounge."
And don't forget Woodstock '94 or Hootie and the Blowfish's "Cracked Rear View," which sold about 8 gazillion copies. There also were albums – including Snoop Dogg's "Doggstyle" and Mariah Carey's "Music Box" – that were released in 1993, but topped the charts in '94.
Below is a collection of some of most memorable releases from 1994. What do you think? Did 1994 really produce the best albums of the 1990s?
There's no way to definitively say yes or no, and this post is meant more as a fun launch point for your own discussions – maybe over pints of beer.

Johns Hopkins Institute for NanoBio Technology
September 28th 2012
Siebel Scholar Laura Ensign. Photo by Marty Katz.
Four of the five recently named Johns Hopkins University graduate students who were listed among the 2013 Siebel Scholars are affiliated with Johns Hopkins Institute for NanoBioTechnology laboratories. Three of the four were also part of INBT's Nanobio IGERT, or Integrative Graduate Education Research Traineeship, a National Science Foundation funded program. The Siebel Scholars program recognizes the most talented students at the world's leading graduate schools of business, bioengineering, and computer science.
INBT affiliated winners include Laura Ensign, Mustapha Jamal, Garrett Jenkinson and Yi Zhang. Ensign, Jamal and Jenkinson were INBT IGERT fellows. All note that their involvement with INBT to one degree or another has played a role in their academic success at Hopkins.
Laura Ensign, in the Department of Chemical and BioMolecular Engineering, works in the laboratory of Justin Hanes, who is director of the Center for Nanomedicine and investigator with the Center of Cancer Nanotechnology Excellence (CCNE). Ensign's research involves understanding the mucus barrier in the female reproductive tract and how it protects and also inhibits the delivery of drugs to this part of the body. Using specially engineered mucus penetrating nanoparticles designed in the Hanes labs, she is working on more effective drug delivery systems. Ensign is listed as an inventor on three patents that have been licensed to private industry.
"As an engineer, the multidisciplinary nature of INBT has allowed me to do research that has the potential to help patients in the clinic," Ensign said. Furthermore, Ensign noted that having two advisors, a requirement for INBT's IGERT program, played an important role in her graduate work and discoveries. In addition to being advised by Hanes, Ensign also was mentored by Richard Cone, professor in the Department of Biophysics in the Krieger School of Arts and Sciences. "The trajectory of my research has been greatly influenced by having two advisers with different backgrounds. My research has included engineering and formulation aspects, as well as biological and translational aspects, resulting in higher impact results with broader implications. "
Siebel Scholar Mustapha Jamal
Mustapha Jamal, also in the Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering, worked in the laboratory of associate professor David Gracias. Jamal has developed self-assembling structures that provide a framework for 3D tissue culture. In addition, these self-assembling structures let him study how geometry affects cell behavior. Jamal is a co-inventor on a patent application in connection with this research.
"Working in a multidiscplinary lab has helped me engineer miniaturized 3D cell culture platforms utilizing techniques from seemingly disparate research areas: semiconductor processing and tissue engineering," Jamal said. "With a bit of creativity, this diverse skill set has proven useful in forging exciting and fruitful collaborations and should serve me well for years to come. From the annual INBT Symposium to the courses and workshops, I have shared my own research with the community and engaged in academic discussions that have helped me keep on top of research conducted here at Hopkins and abroad."

Mathematics is the tool that W. Garrett Jenkinson uses in his research in the Complex Systems Science Laboratory of John Goutsias, professor of electrical and computer engineering. Jenkinson's work can be applied to such real-life problems as how infections spread through a population via social interaction or how processes occur inside the cell, both of which can help inform the development of drugs to fight disease.
"The Complex Systems Science Laboratory takes the INBT spirit of interdisciplinary research to heart. The lab focuses on rigorous mathematical formulations that will simultaneously advance as many branches of science and engineering as possible," Jenkinson said. "My graduate work has allowed me to follow my mathematical interests toward whatever application they might lead. In my tenure at Hopkins, I have published papers on a diverse array of topics including biochemical reaction networks, epidemiology, neurobiology, ecology, thermodynamics, unmanned automated vehicles, evolutionary game theory, pharmacokinetics, and social networks.
Through the IGERT program, Jenkinson said, INBT "trained me in fields that an electrical and computer engineer might otherwise find foreign, such as biology, nanotechnology, and wet lab techniques. Furthermore, the INBT has fostered relationships with my peers from diverse scientific backgrounds, with whom I have collaborated on multiple occasions to lend or receive advice in scientific matters that required expertise in multiple fields. I am excited to be joining the Siebel Scholars program which facilitates relationships across universities in the same way the INBT fosters these relationships across departments at Johns Hopkins University."
Siebel Scholar Yi Zhang. Photo by Mary Spiro.
Yi Zhang conducts his research in the lab of Jeff Tza-Huei Wang, an associate professor of mechanical engineering, biomedical engineering and oncology and also a project leader in the Center of Cancer Nanotechnology Excellence. Zhang's work developing micro- and nanoscale molecular techniques to help diagnose cancer and infectious diseases has supported one of the core research goals of the CCNE. He is listed as an inventor on four patent applications, one of which has been licensed by a biotechnology company.
Said Zhang, "Being associated with an INBT affiliated laboratory offers me ample opportunities to collaborate with researchers in various fields and get help from my fellow students. Biomedical engineering is multidisciplinary in nature. My research focuses on bridging the gap between medical science and engineering, and my thesis is committed to improving molecular diagnostics using advanced nanotechnology. An integrated center like CCNE presents a new research paradigm by bringing together all necessary expertise from various fields to tackle one big problem in an extremely efficient way. It has definitely changed my view of conducting translational research."
According to the organization's website, Siebel Scholars and are chosen by the dean of their respective schools on the basis of outstanding academic achievement and demonstrated leadership. On average, Siebel Scholars rank in the top 5 percent of their class, many within the top 1 percent. The merit-based program provides $35,000 to each student for use in his or her final year of graduate studies.
The Siebel Scholars program was established in 2000 by the Siebel Foundation through a grant of more than $45 million to Carnegie Mellon University; Harvard University; The Johns Hopkins University; Massachusetts Institute of Technology; Northwestern University; Stanford University; Tsinghua University; University of California, Berkeley; University of California, San Diego; University of Chicago; University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign; and University of Pennsylvania. Each year, five graduate students from each of the 17 partner institutions are honored as Siebel Scholars and receive a $35,000 award for their final year of studies.
Established in 2006, the Institute for NanoBioTechnology at Johns Hopkins brings together 223 researchers from every division of the University to create new knowledge and new technologies at the interface of nanoscience and medicine.

TORONTO — Leo Baeck Day School has announced a tuition subsidy of up to $5,000 per student to middle-income families who find the cost of day school daunting, but don't qualify for tuition subsidies.
The one-year pilot project, dubbed AlephBaeck, will be available for 40 to 60 new students entering the school's Thornhill campus in September.
The first of its kind at a Jewish day school in Ontario, it will be funded by a one-time gift from an anonymous donor.
Day school affordability is "a major issue," Eric Petersiel, head of school, told The CJN.
At the North American Jewish Day School conference Feb. 3 to 5, which Petersiel attended in Washington, D.C., tuition affordability was "a topic of every conversation," he said.
"Jewish day school gets better and better, and fewer people can afford it," Petersiel added.
According to Petersiel, in Canada, only Montreal has a program that helps middle-income families with Jewish day school tuition. It's a community-wide program, he said.
Leo Baeck, Toronto's only Reform day school, is defining "middle income" as between $150,000 and $250,000 for parents with one child. If parents have two children at the school, middle income rises to between $200,000 and $300,000; then to between $250,000 and $350,000 for families with three or more children at the school.
Families can receive the full $5,000 in their child's third year if they commit to three years at the school. If they take the amount in the first year, it drops to $3,000, and $4,000 if they take it in the second year.
Petersiel noted that families who fall below the $150,000 threshold remain eligible for subsidies, but these come from the school's separate "operational budget", he said.
AlephBaeck is debuting in Thornhill, because the school has a higher percentage of middle-income families there than it does at its branch on Arlington Avenue, south of Eglinton Avenue, Petersiel said.
The program is for new students entering nursery, junior kindergarten, senior kindergarten, or grades 1 or 2.
For the past five years, Petersiel said, the school has been following up to see why some parents inquire about the school, but don't choose it. "Finances being the number 1 reason has risen threefold in the last five years alone," he said.
Tuition for all-day preschool for the 2013-2014 year is $13,900.
"The more students in the school, the lesser the burden on everyone," Petersiel said.
While the school population has dropped this year by about 10 per cent in Thornhill, there are 100 new students at the south campus, and a combined total of 915 students at both campuses.
"Because we've grown," Petersiel said, "we have been able to keep [next year's tuition] increase under three per cent."
