Millions of Brits will struggle to survive January financially after overspending during the festive season, warns new research.
The study shows almost a third (30 per cent) felt pressured to spend more than they could afford over Christmas.
And one in 11 (nine per cent) have fallen into debt or further into debt as a result of overspending.
The survey of more than 2,000 adults by Money Advice Service shows men (23 per cent) and women (24 per cent) are around equally as likely to overspend.
But men (£325) expect to overspend by more than women (£299), and tended to put more of their Christmas buying on credit.
The research shows surviving financially in the month of January is now likely to be a struggle for more than one in four adults (28 per cent).
Coupled with the fact that almost half of all workers (44 per cent) were paid early in December, it means that more than 13 million people will have a longer wait until payday this month.
The Money Advice Service expects the number of people seeking debt advice to soar over the next three months. This time last year, the service assisted almost 2.6 million money and debt inquiries - 500,000 more than in an average month.
Almost half of those experiencing financial difficulty (48 per cent) say that budgeting would have helped them to prevent overspending.
Andy Webb, of the Money Advice Service, said: "Our message in January is simple. If you are struggling to survive financially this month, now is the time to act.
"There are simple things you can do to get your finances back on track.
"Firstly, look at all your regular spending at home and keep track of it throughout the month. Doing this will help you see areas where you may be able to cut back, for example: cancelling unused subscriptions.
"You might be able to raise some extra money by clearing out items you don't want or no longer use. Also, don't underestimate how much you waste if you throw food away - plan your meals carefully and use up your leftovers."
The survey suggests that more than half of Brits (51 per cent) are making a financial resolution in 2016 to get their money in better shape - with saving more (24 per cent), spending less (20 per cent) and paying off debts (16 per cent) among the most popular.

During my recent trip to Miami for SWIM Fashion Week I wanted to be away from the hustle and bustle yet be close to the action and South Beach and definitely be on the water. My research led me to the Sonesta Hotel Coconut Grove.
Coconut Grove is located in Miami in a lovely bayside community on the coast of Biscayne Bay and adjacent the Coral Gables right in the middle of an artistic community.
Getting to the Sonesta Hotel was very easy right off the main highway with easy access to their entry where friendly valet's were there to take my car and my luggage.
Upon entering the grand, modern, beautifully decorated lobby replete with authentic contemporary art and decor,
I was greeted by the hotel manager Mari Maya and front desk agent Adrian. Check-in was painless, my luggage was escorted along with me to my beautiful room overlooking the splendor of Biscayne Bay.
My room was complete with a full kitchen including a large refrigerator, stove, microwave, sink, complete with dishes, silverware, pots and pans, everything that I would need to be self-sufficient during my trip and did I mention a beautiful view of Biscayne Bay.
During my stay I needed to drive to South Beach several times and found the process to be painless. I called the valet for my room and by the time I got downstairs my car was ready along with friendly instructions on how to best get to South Beach or any other location I was interested in. No matter how late I got back to the hotel, there was always both a security guard as well as a friendly valet to take my car. The time it took to get to South Beach was minimal and I enjoyed the serenity of getting away from the hustle and bustle of South Beach.
**Side Note: the cost of the valet service is $25 a day
The Sonesta Hotel offers a beautiful rooftop pool and sky lounge on the eighth floor boasting phenomenal views of Biscayne Bay and downtown Miami . There is also a fully featured business center offering, for an extra charge, fax transmissions, laser printing and photocopying.
**Side Note: The charge for using the computer workstation with Internet connection is $6.95 for a 15 min. session.
The Sonesta hotel is a 22 story boutique style hotel offering 205 guestrooms and suites offering both the panoramic bay and city views, two-line telephone, complimentary Internet access, 42" wall-mounted cable television, bathrobe, hair dryer, safe, iron/ironing board, CD/clock radio and coffee maker. I had a One Bedroom suite and that and the Two Bedroom Suites offer full kitchen and living room. They also offer meeting facilities offering 12,500 square-feet of function space for groups up to 300 people. A dedicated convention services and catering team is available to handle all details for those of you who need such services. Audio-visual equipment is available.
Although I did not use it, also offered is the Rooftop Fitness Center offering spectacular views of Miami and features a variety of cardiovascular and strength-training equipment, sauna and private locker rooms. There are also two international size squash courts are located on the 8th floor.
**Side Note: Same day guest reservation requests may be made at the front desk. The Squash Courts are open from 6:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. each day.

Two Orange County continuation high schools have been designated model campuses by the state for the quality of their academic programs and student-support networks.
Costa Mesa's Back Bay High School and San Juan Capistrano's Junipero Serra High School were among 13 statewide recognized Friday by the state Department of Education and the California Continuation Education Association.
Back Bay, which enrolled 119 students in 2011-12, is part of the Newport-Mesa Unified School District; Junipero Serra, which enrolled 192 students, is part of Capistrano Unified.
"Students who find traditional high schools are not meeting their individual needs or situations are often more successful with the flexible educational environment offered on these campuses," state schools Superintendent Tom Torlakson said in a statement.
Continuation schools apply to be recognized as California Model Continuation High Schools; they are evaluated based on their curricula, instructional strategies, educational climate, school management and counseling.
Students, parents and community members must submit written statements of support to accompany the school's application.
Fifteen California schools applied for the recognition this year, state officials said. Schools retain the title for three years.
Back Bay already is a model school, having also been recognized three years ago, in 2010.
The other Orange County continuation schools that hold the model campus honor are:
•La Vista High, Fullerton Union High School District, 2012-15
•Marie L. Hare High, Garden Grove Unified, 2011-14
•Silverado High in Mission Viejo, Saddleback Valley Unified, 2012-15
Continuation high schools provide students 16 and older with a smaller learning environment, intensive counseling and support, and a more flexible schedule than a traditional high school.
More than 69,000 students attended California's 504 continuation high schools last year.
The other 11 California schools designated Model Continuation High Schools this year were: Riverside's Alvord High, Indio's Amistad High, Lemoore's Donald C. Jamison High, Corona's Lee V. Pollard High, Lake Elsinore's Ortega High, Redondo Beach's Redondo Shores High, Santa Rosa's Ridgway High, Fremont's Robertson High, Huntington Park's San Antonio High, Bellflower's Somerset High and Perris' Val Verde High.

Snowden slams Obama
Stuck in limbo with no countries rolling out the welcome mats for him, Edward Snowden on Monday lashed out at the Obama administration for using "the old, bad tools of political aggression" in pursuing him.
"Their purpose is to frighten, not me, but those who would come after me," the NSA leaker continued in a statement posted on WikiLeaks, his first public comments since leaving Hong Kong for Moscow about a week ago.
Story Continued Below
Snowden, who revealed information about highly classified surveillance programs and rode out the initial storm in Hong Kong, is seeking political asylum in several countries, including Ecuador and possibly Russia. His future remains unclear as he remains in limbo, reportedly in Moscow's airport. The U.S. has revoked his American passport, and no one has promised him safe passage yet.
( PHOTOS: 10 famous/infamous whistleblowers)
Snowden charged that the Obama administration had rendered him "stateless" in outraged comments that come after Snowden has reportedly spent eight days in a Russian terminal, watching his list of allies and possible asylum destinations dwindle.
"In the end the Obama administration is not afraid of whistleblowers like me, Bradley Manning or Thomas Drake," he wrote. "We are stateless, imprisoned, or powerless. No, the Obama administration is afraid of you. It is afraid of an informed, angry public demanding the constitutional government it was promised — and it should be."
The Obama administration has called on the international community to return Snowden to the U.S., and Vice President Joe Biden over the weekend urged Ecuador to deny Snowden's asylum request, the president of that country has said, complicating what initially appeared to be a plausible escape route.
( PHOTOS: Pols react to Snowden on the run)
"On Thursday, President Obama declared before the world that he would not permit any diplomatic 'wheeling and dealing' over my case," Snowden's statement read. "Yet now it is being reported that after promising not to do so, the President ordered his Vice President to pressure the leaders of nations from which I have requested protection to deny my asylum petitions. This kind of deception from a world leader is not justice, and neither is the extralegal penalty of exile."
Russian President Vladimir Putin, who has swatted back U.S. requests to turn Snowden over, on Monday also had some tougher talk, saying that Snowden couldn't continue to leak American secrets if he's seeking Russian asylum.
"If he wants to go somewhere and there are those who would take him, he is welcome to do that," Putin said at a news conference. "If he wants to stay here, there is one condition: he must stop his activities aimed at inflicting damage to our American partners, no matter how strange it may sound on my lips."

What is automated photo enforcement?
To enhance the safety of the District's residents and visitors, the Metropolitan Police Department has developed an automated photo enforcement program designed to reduce the number of drivers who violate traffic regulations. The cameras help enforce traffic laws and reduce violations by automatically photographing the license plates of vehicles whose drivers violate the regulations. The photos capture only the rear of the vehicle and its license plate—they do not show the driver or passengers. Currently, the program includes camera systems that capture red-light running violations at more than three dozen intersections with a high incidence of violations and crashes, as well as photo radar systems designed to reduce speeding at locations with chronic problems.
What is the goal of automated photo enforcement?
The goal of the District's automated photo enforcement program is straightforward: to reduce traffic violations and, as a result, decrease the number of crashes, prevent injuries, and save lives. Since their implementation, the traffic safety systems have contributed to a dramatic reduction in red-light running at the intersections where they are operational. And fewer violations should translate into lower crash and injury rates among both drivers and pedestrians. The cameras have the added benefit of enhancing traffic safety while promoting community policing. Because the red-light cameras provide 24-hour-a-day coverage, they allow the MPDC to be more consistent, more strategic, and more efficient in its enforcement of traffic regulations—a top priority of citizens. These safety benefits are achieved without having to devote extra police resources to enhanced traffic enforcement. Instead, police officers can devote their time to other priorities, including focused law enforcement, neighborhood problem solving, and crime prevention in DC neighborhoods.
How does the program work?
Cameras capture violations on film and record all of the relevant data for the violation. For example, when a red-light violation occurs, the camera records the date, time, vehicle's speed, and time elapsed since the beginning of the red signal. The images are then analyzed, possible extenuating circumstances are considered, and the registered owner of the vehicle is verified. A citation showing a photo of the violation is then mailed to the vehicle owner. Individuals may now view their violation images online (requires ticket number and unique personal identification number provided on the mailed citation).
For more information, view How Red-Light Cameras Work.
Where are the cameras located?
The District's cameras are placed at locations where chronic violations cause crashes and endanger the community. The MPDC notifies the public at least 30 days in advance of installation of any new red-light camera, and the locations of all currently installed red-light cameras are posted on the Department's website. Street signs alerting drivers that automated photo enforcement is being used are positioned at strategic locations throughout the District, including major "gateways" to the city. The locations of automated photo enforcement systems may be expanded in the future as warranted.
When a violation occurs, who receives the citation?
Citations are mailed to the registered vehicle owner, as determined by the photo of the license plate.
What if the registered owner was not driving the vehicle?
The vehicle owner is responsible for all automated enforcement tickets issued to the vehicle, regardless of who was operating the vehicle at the time of the violation. Please review the ticket for Information on how to answer the violation or make payment. However, if the vehicle or the license plates were stolen at the time the violation occurred, please provide a copy of the complete police report with your adjudication request. No points are assessed for automated enforcement tickets.
What is the District law authorizing automated traffic enforcement?
The law authorizing automated traffic enforcement in the District of Columbia can be found in the DC Official Code (Division VIII, Title 50, Subtitle VII, Chapter 22, Subchapter 5).
What if the car was part of a funeral procession or there were other extenuating circumstances?
There are extenuating circumstances in which a red-light violation may be administratively voided:
- The vehicle was part of a funeral procession
- The vehicle or its tags were stolen prior to the issuance of the ticket
If you receive a citation and any of these circumstances applies, check the appropriate boxes on the back of the citation and mail back the citation, along with supporting documentation, to the Automated Traffic Enforcement office (PO Box 37135, Washington, DC 20013). For a stolen vehicle or tag, you will need a copy of the police report (not just the report number). For a funeral procession, a copy of the program book or a letter from the funeral director are acceptable forms of documentation. The affidavit and documentation will be analyzed, and the citation will be voided if appropriate.
What are the penalties for these violations?
The fines for traffic violations captured by automated photo enforcement are exactly the same as the fines for violations issued by a police officer. The penalty for running a red light is a $150 fine. However, there are no points assessed for photo enforcement violations in DC.
What do I do if I receive a ticket in the mail?
A ticket issued through the District of Columbia's Automated Traffic Enforcement Program is the same as any other moving ticket issued within the city limits. You may pay the fine, which is an admission of guilt, adjudicate the citation via mail or request a hearing. Adjudication for photo-enforced violations is handled at the Department of Motor Vehicles, Adjudication Services, located at 301 C Street, NW. Specific instructions are included on the back of each NOI that is mailed. Failure to respond to the ticket, either by paying the fine or requesting a hearing within the specified time frame, can result in additional fees and penalties. Telephone or mail responses are encouraged.
- Individuals may now view their violation images online (requires ticket number and unique personal identification number provided on the mailed citation).
- Individuals may also pay their tickets online, through the Department or Motor Vehicle website.
Where can I get more information on this program?
Call the Mayor's Call Center at 311 or (202) 737-4404.

@ned_potter @GetKahoot I shadowed two sessions which used it today and both sets loved it - bordering on raucousness. Raucous induction joy.— Ross (@r_n12) September 27, 2016
A colleague at York, Tony Wilson, brought Kahoot! to our attention recently for possible use in teaching and orientation sessions: it's a really nice quiz tool. There is nothing new about using quizzes in library sessions and there's about a million and one tools out there for making them, but Kahoot differs in its execution of the idea. It's so much slicker and just more FUN than anything like this I've looked at before. And interestingly, it already seems to have currency with students:
@ned_potter I haven't even used it and students have been telling me how fun it is.— ac (@colgoni) September 27, 2016
One of the most useful aspects of a quiz is that people are asked to actively engage with the information rather than passively receive it. I'm absolutely convinced the students are remembering more this way than if we just presented them with the complete information.
4 reasons Kahoot works so well
It's really, really nice, for these reasons in reverse order of importance:
The music. It has cool retro sort of 8-bit music in the background.
The aesthetics. It has bright colours and looks generally nice. Here's what a question looks like:
The leaderboard. Oh yes. It has a LEADERBOARD. This is the key thing, really: people put in their nicknames and after each question the top 5 is displayed (based on, obviously, how acurate their answers are but also how quick). Even completely non-competitive people get excited when they see their name in the top 5... I tweeted about using Kahoot and Diana Caulfied chimed in about the tension the leaderboard brings:
@ned_potter went to an info lit day which used it. So. much. fun! (and crazy tense, and I got annoyed that I didn't win, but NM).— Diana Caulfield (@dsw26) September 27, 2016
It's VERY easy to use. These things have to be SO simple to justify using them. In the case of Kahoot, you load up the quiz, and the students go to kahoot.it and put in the pin number the quiz gives you on the screen. It works perfectly on phones, tablets, or PCs. There's only one thing on the screen - the box to put the pin number in; and only one thing to do - put the pin number in. This simplicity and intuitive interface means everyone can get on board right away. There's no hunting around.
You can also use it on an epic scale - one colleague just came back from using it with 95 undergraduates today, who responded really well, another used it with over 100 who were absolutely buzzing after each question. You can actually have up to 4,000 players at once.
Here's what the students are presented with when they go to the (very simple) URL:
An example from York
So here's the quiz I made for Induction, click here if you want to have a go. This particular link is (I think) in ghost mode, where you're competing with a previous group of players. So if you do the quiz now, you'll be up against my History of Art PostGraduates and will only show up in the Top 5 leaderboard if you get better scores than at least 25 of them! But normally in a session I'd use a completely blank slate.
Possible uses
In this example the questions I chose are basically just a way to show off our resources and services: it's all stuff I'd be telling them as part of a regular induction talk anyway:
The students I've used it with so far have really enjoyed it (as far as I can tell!). It's much more interesting than listing things, and, intruigingly, I think that asking people to guess between possible options actually seems the answer more impressive than just telling them the fact outright. So for example in the Google Apps question above, there were gasps when I revealed they get unlimited storage and the majority had chosen one of the lower options (the results screen shows how many people have chosen each option) - I'm fairly sure if I'd just told them they get unlimited storage, not one person would have gasped.
But there are plenty of other possibilities for Kahoot that are a bit more pedagogical in nature. Using it to measure how much of the session has sunk in at the end; using it at the start and end to measure a difference in knowledge; and using it to establish the level of student understanding:
@ned_potter I also used @GetKahoot for 1st time today in a referencing session as a starter to see where their knowledge was at. Worked well— Michael Jones (@ThatLibraryMan) September 27, 2016
There's also a Discussion mode rather than a Quiz mode. You pose a question and students type their answers in (rather than selecting from multiple choice) and their words come up on the screen. Anything rude or offensive can be deleted with one click. It would be a great way to find out what students felt unsure of or wanted to learn about, or to discuss the merits of a particular approach.
In summary
So I'd recommend taking a look at Kahoot and seeing if you can incorporate it into your teaching. As well as using it throughout Induction I'm planning on using different kinds of quizzes as part of infolit sessions and am excited to see how that works. You can easily incorporate your own library's images and videos and the tool is free, very easy to use, nicely made, and FUN.

Have you been experiencing any of these lately? How about several natural remedy solutions for your seasonal allergies?
First, let's look at what allergy symptoms are and why we get them. The symptoms we experience: itchy, watery eyes, runny nose, sneezing, and congestion, are all immune responses that our body produces to protect us. When we are "suffering" with these symptoms our immune system has become overactive. It is overreacting to the pollen and other irritants in the environment. This happens as a result of several things, including the following:
- Increased exposure to allergens/irritants: like pollen, dust, or chemicals in the air.
- Compromised mucous membranes in our noses, eyes and sinuses. When these membranes become dried andbreakdown they cannot offer protection from the airborne irritants.
- Food sensitivities. When we eat foods that our bodies are sensitive to the body's immune system responds by causing inflammation. This inflammation causes symptoms, some may not even be detectable until the burden on our immune system is increased as with pollen.
When we combine the above, the result is an immune system that is under attack, and over-reacts in order to protect the body. How can we combat these symptoms? Here are several things that can help:
- Eat honey: local honey contains small amounts of the local pollen and by consuming regularly it can help to esensitize our immune system, much like how allergy shots work. Consume approx 1 tsp daily before and during allergy season.
- Keep mucous membranes moist. Our mucous membranes become dried out, especially after the dry winter air. Use a simple saline nasal spray. Saline (salt water), helps maintain the integrity of our mucous membranes. Additionally, using a saline nasal spray on a regular basis can help rinse out allergens from the nose and decrease the number of irritants.
- Do a sinus saline wash. A more intensive therapy for your sinuses and mucous membranes is to use a neti pot (sinus lavage). This can be extremely beneficial for those who are having a lot of nasal congestion. This involves either using a pot that resembles a genie lamp or a sports cap water bottle. Prepare a saline solution: ¼ heaping tsp salt to 1 cup warm water. Put this into your pot or bottle. Tilt your head to one side and slightly forward (over a sink) and insert the nozzle of the pot (or bottle) into your top nostril. Gently allow the warm saline solution to flow through your sinuses and it will begin to flow out of your bottom nostril. Now be certain to breathe through your mouth as you do this. After you finish one side, blow several forceful breaths out of your nose to expel any excess saline or mucus. Repeat on the other side.
- Avoid foods that you are sensitive to. One of the best ways to reveal food sensitivities is through a blood test. We use the top labs to test your body's immune reaction for up to 184 different foods. Most conventional doctors only test for common reactions (eg. when eating strawberries you break out in hives). A more comprehensive test is one that test a variety of foods and also detects latent food sensitivities. This is one of the many tests available through Carolinas Natural Health Center. READ more on Food Sensitivity Testing here.
- Stabilize your mast cells –an important part of our immune system. When mast cells break down they release histamines causing many of the allergy symptoms. This is why we use anti-histamines for allergy relief. Thankfully nature has provided us with several effective ways to help stabilize these mast cells. Consume more fruits and vegetables –especially the colorful ones: broccoli, citrus, red peppers, purple cabbage, dark green leafy vegetables. The colors are what contain bioflavonoids and along with vitamin C (also found in high amounts in these same foods). You can consider supplementing with additional vitamin C, but look for a product that also contains bioflavonoids and quercetin. There are also several herbs that are very effective: Nettles, turmeric, bayberry, feverfew, eyebright, goldenseal and yarrow. A product that contains these herbs is Aller-leaf by Gaia Herbs, a North Carolina based company. Don't be without these key products to help alleviate your allergies. Now available here.
To Summarize:
A holistic approach to surviving allergy season naturally:
- Eliminate processed foods that can cause inflammation.
- Increase consumption of fruits and vegetables daily: the goal is 7-13 servings!
- Decrease exposure to chemicals and environmental irritants.
- Protect mucous membranes.
I bid you happy Spring!

TCU Horned Frogs Football Tickets
TCU Horned Frogs Football Tickets Tickets Rated 0.00/5 based on 0 customer reviews 100 0
TCU had arguably its best season since their 1938 national championship in 2014, winning 11 games and the Chick-fil-A/Peach Bowl. The impressive run was powered by the nation's second-highest scoring offense behind only conference rival Baylor, and represented the school's Big 12 breakout in its third season there. They didn't even qualify for a bowl the year before. Upset that the lack of a conference title game robbed them of a College Football Playoff berth, TCU demolished Ole Miss in their bowl. They again face a steep challenge to get to the Playoff, but QB Trevone Boykin (3,901 pass yards, 707 rush yards, 41 total TDs) won't be satisfied without it. Boykin enters 2015 as a top NCAA QB and a definite Heisman candidate. His favorite target, Josh Doctson (1,018 rec yards, 11 TDs), and ground game threat, Aaron Green (922 rush yards, 9 TDs) return with room for upside. Four offensive line starters return, so personnel turnover isn't a concern on offense. The same can't be said on defense, where notable losses at linebacker and a young secondary are likely to weaken what was the Big 12's best scoring defense. Give coach Gary Patterson the benefit of the doubt, however, as he's done this before and is likely to do it again. The TCU Horned Frogs operate under coach Gary Patterson at Amon G. Carter Stadium in Fort Worth. Now playing in their fourth conference since 2000, TCU is here to stay in the Big 12. They've been nationally ranked at some point in 10 consecutive seasons and have won double-digit games 10 times since 2000. All time, they've won two national titles (1935 and 1938), 18 conference titles, and have made 30 bowl appearances. The school has sent 169 players to the NFL, including LaDainian Tomlinson, Andy Dalton, Daryl Washington, Jeremy Kerley, and Bob Lilly. Their biggest rivalry, called "The Revivalry", is with Baylor, with is remarkably even at 51-52-7 all time. They also share rivalries with Texas Tech, Texas, and SMU. 2015 home opponents include SF Austin, SMU, Texas, West Virginia, Kansas, and Baylor.

OXFORD, Ala. – For the fourth consecutive meet Saturday, Tennessee Tech junior John Greene ran a personal-best and led the Golden Eagle men's cross country team, this time at the JSU Foothills Invitational in Oxford, Ala.
Greene's effort helped the Tech men to a sixth-place finish out of 10 teams while the Golden Eagle women finished in the top half of their field, coming in at fifth place out of 12 competing squads. In all, 13 Tech runners set new personal-bests. The meet, hosted by Jacksonville State, was held at Oxford Lake & Recreation Center, which will host the 2012 Ohio Valley Conference Championships.
Greene ran the 8K course in 26:28.77 to finish fifth in a field of 94 runners. The Friendsville, Tenn., native beat his previous PR of 26:39, which he set a week ago at the TTU Invitational in Cookeville.
Rebecca Cline paced the Tech women with a 5K time of 19:29.61, placing 24th overall in a field of 111 runners. Leah Bradley was the second Golden Eagle finisher with a time of 19:54.71, setting a new personal record. Amelia McCoy was Tech's third runner in, also setting a PR and completing the course in 19:56.96. Beth Miller (20:01.38) and Kara Webb (20:12.14) rounded out TTU's top five, while Emily Williams (20:36.04) and Peri Winborne (20:40.22) completed the Golden Eagles' top seven. Webb's time shattered her previous collegiate personal-best, set at the TTU Invitational, by more than a minute.
On the men's side, Matt Bishop joined Greene in setting a personal-best and notching a top 10 finish, placing 10th with a time of 26:51.85. Mike Mahan was the third Tech finisher, coming in at 27:49.84, while Adam McLeod (28:11.31) and Sterling Smith (28:44.00) rounded out the Golden Eagle top five. Matt Pennycuff (29:15.37) and Charlie Jordan (29:38.65) completed Tech's top seven. Mahan, McLeod, Smith, Pennycuff and Jordan all set new PR times.
Other Tech runners to set personal records included Meghan O'Donaghue (20:46.12), Katie McCrary (21:49.97) and Kathryn Forbes (21:52.23).
On the men's side, Emory claimed first place with 85 points while Columbus State placed second with 93 points and Clayton State was third with 105. Jacksonville State (105), West Alabama (113), Tennessee Tech (116), SCAD-Atlanta (133), West Georgia (168), Birmingham Southern (229) and Alabama State-Montgomery (305) rounded out the field.
In the women's race, Emory took first with 32 points, Jacksonville State was second with 56 points and West Alabama finished third with 106 points. Alabama State-Montgomery (125), Tennessee Tech (143), Clayton State (157), West Georgia (166), Columbus State (171), SCAD-Atlanta (210), Gadsden State (333), Huntingdon (342) and Georgia Southwestern (344) rounded out the field.
Tech will run its final meet of the regular season next week, Oct. 15, at the Evansville Invitational. The race is set to begin at 11 a.m.

Target is facing another potential meltdown this week as customers across the country are learning that Target gift cards they either bought or received don't hold any value.
A Target spokesperson said Tuesday morning that some of its gift cards were not "fully activated" when consumers purchased them over the holidays.
Target would not say how many gift cards were affected, but said so far it appeared to be less than 0.1 percent of the total number of gift cards sold. The retail giant did not give dates when the affected gift cards were sold; the spokesperson only said they were sold "during the holiday period."
Target said all of its stores will honor the affected cards; no receipt is required. Customers should bring the affected gift cards to guest services or call 1-800-544-2943 for help.
Target apologized for the inconvenience.
The spokesperson also told NBC4 the gift card glitch has nothing to do with the recent Target data breach in which 40 million Target customers' credit and debit cards were compromised.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The U.S. general nominated to oversee a vast region that includes Afghanistan on Thursday backed keeping Afghan forces at a peak strength of 352,000, contrary to current plans to shrink them after NATO declares the war over next year.
General Lloyd Austin, nominated to lead the U.S. military's Central Command, said at his Senate confirmation hearing that a more robust Afghan force, while more costly, would "hedge against any Taliban mischief" following America's longest war.
"Keeping the larger-size force would certainly reassure the Afghans, it would also reassure our NATO allies that we remain committed," Austin said.
The comments came two days after President Barack Obama announced in his State of the Union address that 34,000 U.S. troops - roughly half of the current U.S. force in Afghanistan - would be withdrawn by early 2014.
Obama reassured Americans that the costly, unpopular war was coming to an end, but he left unanswered bigger questions about America's exit strategy, including how many U.S. troops would stay in the country beyond 2014 to help train and advise the Afghans and to battle remnants of al Qaeda.
Obama also did not discuss the future size of the Afghan forces, although a White House fact sheet sent out after his address noted they would remain at 352,000 until "at least" early 2015.
Austin warned the Taliban would be waiting to test them.
"You could reasonably expect that an enemy that's been that determined, that agile, will very soon after we transition begin to try to test the Afghan security forces," Austin said.
Under current plans, the United States and its NATO allies will help build up the Afghan armed forces to 352,000 personnel, a number they are approaching, but the size of the force - which the allies will continue to fund - will be trimmed to 230,000 after 2015.
The hearing frequently moved away from questions about the Afghan war and other current events to questions about Austin's past role as commander in Iraq, when a failure to strike an immunity deal for U.S. troops led to their total withdrawal in 2011.
Obama administration officials have warned that failure to strike an immunity deal with Afghanistan would also result in a pullout, but Afghan President Hamid Karzai and U.S. officials have expressed confidence a deal can be reached.
Republicans, who have criticized Obama's drawdown strategy in Afghanistan, noted that the president would have left a much smaller force in Iraq than Austin recommended, even if a deal had been struck.
Senator John McCain of Arizona lamented the lack of a U.S. presence in Iraq.
Pressed by Republicans, Austin acknowledged that the situation in Iraq was trending in a "problematic" direction, and agreed that a continued U.S. role would have helped bolster Iraqi forces.
When it came to Afghanistan, Senator Lindsay Graham of South Carolina warned Austin that if Obama sought an insufficient force for the post-2014 mission, he would refuse to vote for funding the war effort.
"It can be as low as 9 or 10,000, that I will stand with them," Graham said.
"If they overrule the commanders and create a force that cannot in my view be successful, I cannot in good conscience vote to continue this operation."
Graham said he would vote for Austin's confirmation once Austin spoke with the former commander of the Afghan mission, General John Allen, about his recommendations to Obama and reported back to the committee about his opinion.

With scientists wanting to see stuff in ever-finer detail and computer geeks wanting more and more transistors on their silicon, it is becoming increasingly important to be able to efficiently generate extreme ultraviolet radiation (1-75nm). The problem is that, once you get above a certain photon energy (in other words, a short enough wavelength), it becomes much more difficult to efficiently generate light. The lamps used to generate extreme ultraviolet light tend to be huge affairs that involve plasmas, high voltages, and kilowatts of total output power. Unfortunately, only a tiny amount of that light is goes in the right direction and has the right wavelength, meaning that the lamp is really inefficient. The latest research out of South Korea may point researchers in a new direction, allowing them to construct extreme ultraviolet light sources that aren't quite so problematic.
The development of higher efficiency extreme ultraviolet light sources has taken a turn for the better with the development of high harmonic generation (HHG). In this work, a gas of atoms is illuminated by a very intense laser pulse—typically these lasers emit pulses that can be focused to intensities of more than 1013W/cm-2. This grabs a few of the electrons from the atom and causes them execute an extremely tight and fast elliptical loop before they crash back into the atom. As they do this, they absorb many photons from the illuminating laser, but emit a single photon at much higher energy. These experiments start with a laser emitting light at 800nm, which is too red to see under normal conditions, and end up with the gas emitting light with a wavelength of just a few nanometers (for reference, blue is 400nm).
This process is not very efficient, but it has advantages, in that the light is coherent and focusable, meaning that devices can make much more efficient use of the light. Alas, the draw back is the laser. These are not small lasers. In fact, there are usually at least three lasers involved. You need one laser to drive the laser that emits the 800nm light. Unfortunately, the second laser doesn't emit enough light, so you need an amplifier stage, which is nearly as complicated as any of the lasers. Then, just when you have filled up the first optical table, you need to use a laser to drive the amplifier. If you really want power then you can count on filling another optical table with amplifiers and drive lasers.
What we really needed was a way to get rid of the amplification stages. This is where plasmon interactions come into play. The researchers took a normal pulsed laser, which is too weak by a factor of 100 to generate high harmonics, and used it to illuminate a set of gold bow-tie shapes (two triangles separated by a tiny gap) on a sapphire plate. The electrons in the gold responded to the laser by oscillating coherently, which is called a plasmon. The plasmons generated a huge electric field across the gap. Critically, this field oscillates in sympathy with the illuminating laser, so the field from the laser and the field from the plasmons act together on whatever they encounter.
This is enough to drive the intensity up high enough to begin generating high harmonics. They demonstrated that, by spraying argon into the gap, they could generate harmonics with wavelengths as short as 47nm. I should note that this is a fantastic achievement. If they replace the argon atoms with ions, then they should be able to achieve even shorter wavelengths, which puts them squarely in the range of ultrahigh resolution microscopy. I don't know that they will ever generate enough power for this to be used in chip fabrication but it would certainly make the perfect seed—a seed is low intensity light that can be used to initiate HHG—to make classical HHG sources more efficient.
The key point is that they have turned something that takes a large room of equipment into something that could be attached to commercially available lasers. Unfortunately, they haven't rested there. Instead they go on to claim that this opens up the possibility of laptop sized extreme ultraviolet light sources, a claim that is simply not accurate.
The plate of sapphire with the gold bow-ties on it will certainly fit in a laptop enclosure. The optics that guide the light into and out of the box that contains the plate would fit into the same laptop enclosure. Unfortunately, the vacuum pumps that keep everything working won't. The laser that drives the HHG process currently won't, and that is unlikely to change (laser diodes do not generate short enough pulses and fiber lasers do not fit in a laptop box). The driving electronics and the cooling to the laser don't fit in the box very well, either.
I would love to be proven wrong about this. But science is often accused of over-selling itself, and I fear that this is what these researchers have done.

The White House is pushing back after President Barack Obama's stated his administration currently doesn't have "a strategy" for dealing with the jihadist group Islamic State, also known as ISIS or ISIL, and drew headlines across the country.
"I don't want to put the cart before the horse," Obama said at a press briefing late Thursday afternoon. "We don't have a strategy yet."
White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest subsequently insisted that Obama specifically articulated a "comprehensive strategy" for dealing with the Islamic State during the briefing.
"In his remarks today, POTUS was explicit — as he has been in the past — about the comprehensive strategy we'll use to confront ISIL threat," Earnest wrote on Twitter.
Earnest quickly scheduled an appearance on CNN during which he argued Obama was simply referencing the U.S. options against the Islamic State in Syria — not in Iraq.
"The president asked a specific question about what approach he was going to pursue when it came to possible military action in Syria against ISIL. That was the specific question he was asked and the president was explicit that he is still waiting for plans that are being developed by the Pentagon for military options he has for going into Syria," Earnest said.
Overall, Earnest said the word "strategy" at least 24 times during his CNN interview.
"I just want to be clear about what our strategy is. The president's clear in that this strategy is one that's not going to solve this problem overnight. But he's also clear about the fact that our strategy can't only be the American military," he continued. "We have a comprehensive strategy for dealing with ISIL. One component of our broader strategy is the use of military force."
Updated (6:39 p.m.): With Earnest's remarks on CNN.

One of the great things about the new Divi theme by Elegant Themes is not just that it's an awesome pagebuilder theme, but that it's backed with tons of documentation, videos and extra free resources to help you get your site up and running… in double quick time.
It looks as though Nick Roach and his team have worked on the development of the Divi theme and the production of the resources in tandem so that they could be released at the same time and it's worked perfectly.
In this post I'm going to use one of the Divi teaching videos to run through the basics of Divi Sections and then take a look at combining Sections with the parallax effect to create some stunning effects.

Trojans Topple UC Davis in 15-10 Victory
Follow @USCTrojansLax on Twitter
March 14, 2014
Final Stats | Quotes | Notes | Box Score (PDF)
LOS ANGELES - The USC women's lacrosse team (2-2, 1-0 MPSF) knocked off previously undefeated UC Davis (5-1, 1-1 MPSF) and won its Mountain Pacific Sports Federation opener in a dramatic 15-10 victory against the Aggies at McAlister Field on Friday, March 14. The Women of Troy improved to 2-0 in conference openers and did so on a pair of impressive performances by freshmen Annie Ruland and Michaela Michael who each recorded hat tricks.
Michael led all players with four goals and added an assist to go with four draw controls and two ground balls. She was also 2-for-2 on free-position shots. Ruland scored three goals, one from the eight-meter arc, and picked up one ground ball. The Trojans also got a pair of goals each from sophomore attacker Caroline Cordrey, freshman midfielder Danielle Doherty, and sophomore attacker Caroline de Lyra. Cordrey also notched three draw controls while de Lyra dished out a season-high four assists for a total of six points on the day.
The Trojans were highly effective on offense and scored more goals in the first half (11) than the Aggies finished with. USC out-shot UC Davis, 16-3, in the first half and finished with a 25-17 margin. The Trojans caused four Aggie turnovers but put enough pressure to force UC Davis to lose the ball 15 times. USC picked up 17 ground balls on the day led by sophomore goalie Liz Shaeffer's four ground balls. Sophomore midfielder Amanda Johansen did a little of everything for the Trojans and finished with a goal, three draw controls, three ground balls, and a pair of caused turnovers.
For UC Davis, Kai Murphy suffered her first loss of the season and was pulled from the goal with just 12 minutes of action after the Trojans went up, 5-0. Four Aggies scored two goals apiece: Courtney Neff, Melissa Kellan, Elizabeth Landry, and Ellie Delich. UC Davis also got a goal each from Meghan Jordan and Carly Voris. Substitute goaltender Jordan Majka had three saves but gave up 10 goals in 48 minutes of action. She led the Aggies with three ground balls. Though the Trojans outdrew UC Davis, 10-4, in the first half, the Aggies came back and won the battle in the center circle, 8-5, in the second half. Mary Doyle and Sara Quero each had three draw controls to lead their team.
After nearly five minutes of scoreless action to open the game, Johansen opened things up with a free-position goal at the 25:08 mark. Just 40 seconds later, Cordrey dodged her way to an unassisted goal to give the Trojans a 2-0 lead. Not to be outdone, Michael took a pass from Cordrey and went to the goal to win a free-position attempt. Just 25 seconds after Cordrey scored, Michael's goal put USC up, 3-0.
Ruland posted her trifecta as she went unassisted (22:46), then scored on a free-position shot (18:09), and took a pass from Doherty (17:24) for three straight unanswered goals and a dominating 6-0 Trojan lead. De Lyra scored her goal on a pass from Michael before Doherty took a pass from de Lyra for a goal at 5:36 left in the first half with an 8-0 USC lead.
Michael came to life down the stretch of the first half as she scored three times within 140 seconds. The first came on a free-position shot (5:05) before de Lyra dished to her on cuts to the net for goals at 4:07 and 2:53. Michael's last goal put the Trojans up, 11-0. The Aggies won the next draw and raced down to score as Kellan found Delich for the goal. Landry hit Voris with a pass for a goal with 51 seconds left to cut the deficit to nine goals heading into halftime.
The second half was about as different from the first half as they come. UC Davis scored first; its third straight goal, but the Trojans answered to get a pair of free-position goals from Cordrey and freshman Kylie Drexel. USC led, 13-3, with 22:05 left in the game, but the Aggies scored six of the next seven goals to cut the Trojan lead to six goals at 14-8. Only de Lyra's unassisted score at the 17:12 mark stemmed the UC Davis tide. Landry's goal with 8:03 left in the game brought the Aggies to within five goals at 14-9, but USC played its brand of defense to hold on until de Lyra found Doherty cutting to the goal for a score and a 15-9 lead with 5:45 left. Kellan scored one more for UC Davis before the clock expired.
USC gets the weekend off before it welcomes a pair of Ivy League opponents to McAlister Field for the last two games of a six-game home stand to open the season. First, Columbia (1-2) comes to town for a noon PT game on Monday (March 17). Then, Princeton (1-3) visits McAlister Field for a 1 p.m. PT bout on Wednesday (March 19). Both games will be streamed live on USC's Pac-12 portal page. Please visit USCTrojans.com for a complete schedule and links.

Grand Jury Refuses To Indict Teen Arrested For Posting 'Threatening' Rap Lyrics On Facebook
from the 'terrorist'-gambit-fails;-adds-+20-to-Cammy-Dee's-street-cred dept
Cameron D'Ambrosio, the teen charged with "communicating terrorist threats" via some daft rap lyrics posted to his Facebook profile, is apparently no longer a threat to the people of Methuen, MA, and parts beyond. Facing a possible 20-year-sentence for his inclusion of such explosive terms as "White House," "murder charge" and "Boston bombinb" in his one-man online rap battle, D'Ambrosio has been held without bail since May 2nd. As of Thursday night, however, D'Ambrosio is free to
kill terrorize rhyme again. And, as an added bonus, he now has something in common with many of the rappers he clearly aspires to be: time served.
An Essex County grand jury declined Thursday to bring an indictment against Cameron D'Ambrosio, 18, so prosecutors will formally file a motion to drop the charge of making a bomb or hijack threat, said Carrie Kimball Monahan, a spokeswoman for the district attorney.The D.A.'s office has declined to comment on the grand jury's decision, and D'Ambrosio and his lawyer are probably saving some choice words for a press conference. But that hasn't stopped the man behind this overreaction and the ensuing farcical approximation of criminal "justice." Here's what Police Chief Joe Solomon had to say in his press release (delivered via Facebook).
"I have just been advised of the Grand Jury decision from earlier today, where the grand jury did not issue an indictment on the high school threats case. Although we disagree with the Grand Jury's decision we respect it. Several judiciary levels have confirmed the probable cause in this case as it has worked it's way through the criminal justice system. We will continue to take all threats against our community seriously and will always utilize due diligence in our investigation."A few things to note:
Thank you
Chief Solomon
1. Suddenly it's only a "high school threats case," rather than the much more dangerous-sounding "communicating terroristic threats."
2. Shouldn't the "probable cause" have been determined before D'Ambrosio was even arrested?
3. No one has a problem with the police taking threats "seriously." The issue here is that the police couldn't figure out when to stop treating D'Ambrosio's words as a threat. Apparently, the grand jury wasn't quite as willing as the rest of the judicial system to stretch the wording of a law pertaining to making specific threats to fit D'Ambrosio's untargeted word dump.
Matthew Segal, the legal director at the ACLU of Massachusetts – who has worked on similar first amendment cases, though not this one – says it does not appear that D'Ambrosio's Facebook post rose to the level of a "true threat" warranting an investigation, which the grand jury has found as well. Segal notes that D'Ambrosio's words didn't target anybody or anything specifically, which the Methuen police have also acknowledged.D'Ambrosio still has one more date hanging over his head -- June 27th -- during which prosecutors may decide to bring other charges. This seems unlikely considering the District Attorney's office has already announced it will not be pursuing this case further. Just in case, supporters of D'Ambrosio, led by the Center for Rights (whose Free Cameron petition gathered over 90,000 votes), will be on hand to show their support for Cameron -- and the First Amendment.

In an age when every discussion of America's educational system and the country's status in the world seems to end with all sides loudly proclaiming the joys of utility—Never mind critical thinking. Never mind the arts. Education is about jobs!—celebrating the purely whimsical might feel like a kind of secular heresy.
But seven short decades ago, two of the most creative and influential figures in America's cultural life, the husband-and-wife architecture and design team of Charles and Ray Eames, lent their formidable imaginations to the creation of a machine so non-utilitarian that its pointlessness gave the gadget its name: the "Do-Nothing Machine."
Solar-powered, brightly colored and emphatically impractical, the Eames' machine was exactly the sort of mechanism that sends the more businesslike and pragmatic among us into conniptions.
"B-b-but," they sputter, "it doesn't do anything!"
Yes. Exactly. And that, of course, is the machine's genius.
[See more in the gallery, "Charles and Ray Eames: Simply Genius"]
Or rather, that's one part of the machine's genius. If looked at from a slightly different angle, however, the Do-Nothing Machine actually performs a societal service far more valuable than that provided by, say, the average backhoe, senator or Kardashian. The Do-Nothing Machine, after all, at-once embodies and evokes the spirit of pure, unadulterated originality. Its lack of any specific, hierarchical function or purpose frees it from the burden of meeting expectations, while its intrinsic playfulness subtly challenges other inventors, engineers and designers to step up.
If we could build this lovely, useless little device and power it with sunlight, the Eames seemed to be saying, just imagine the magnificent, useful machines human beings could build if they really put their minds to it.
In the meantime, while we wait for human beings to come up with more of those magnificent, useful machines, we have this wonderful portrait of Charles Eames proudly showing off the Do-Nothing Machine as it spins and wheels in full-on, meaningless whirligig mode.
Beautiful, isn't it?

Someone's in the kitchen with Dinah's: Slow Food's visit to Kurtwood Farms
In July, Slow Food Seattle visited Kurtwood Farms on Vashon Island. Here's board member Eileen Lambert's report back from the day!
On a gorgeous Sunday morning, 20 Seattleites rose early to make their way aboard the Fauntleroy ferry to Vashon, where the cool oasis of Kurtwood Farms awaited. Resisting the World Cup final fever the rest of Seattle had seemingly fallen victim to, they anticipated a taste of the farm life Kurt Timmermeister had depicted in his two celebrated books: Growing a Farmer, and his most recent release: Growing a Feast.
Once the caravan of 20 convened at the farm and the dust settled in the adjacent lot, Kurt stepped out for a quick greeting and then led us through the hedged walkway into a long, airy, stonewalled farmhouse kitchen, the scene for many of his feasts and more recent culinary adventures. (More on that later).
Kurt opened with a brief introduction on his background as both chef and owner of the former Septieme; an acclaimed Capitol Hill restaurant he ran for 18 years before shuttering in the early 90's, as the pace of island began to beckon him to Vashon. He shared how he came to find the farmstead which he, along with several extra hands, lovingly restored and built to become Kurtwood Farms. A true story of love at first sight, Kurt didn't even get out of the car before he announced to his realtor "This is it."
That certainty is undoubtedly what drove Kurt to devote countless hours of hard work over the ensuing years, and inspired him to endeavor on some initially lucrative, yet ultimately unsustainable pursuits, such as beekeeping, a CSA and a raw milk franchise, all of which he detailed to us as cautionary tale on the pitfalls of going into farming with idealistic notions.
Kurt spoke to our Slow Food Seattle group for about an hour, giving us an intimate look at his life leading up to his days as a dairy owner, farmer, chef, and author, while also giving us a glimpse of what we would be encountering on our tour.
He then took us through the back of the kitchen, and walked us around the farm. We started with the milking parlor, a wall-less wooden structure that the farm's seven Jersey cows are led into twice a day (usually 9:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m.) to be milked. These seven cows each produce roughly 5 gallons a day, resulting in 35 gallons of pure, creamy milk.
Next door from the milking parlor, we ventured into the small cheesemaking facility, but due to contamination concerns (after all, cheesemaking is a sensitive process!) we just peeked our heads into the window of the room where the actual cheesemaking takes place. To maintain a safe environment, the cheesemaker herself dons a separate set of clothes, apron, and shoes before entering the cheesemaking room.
One of the most anticipated tour stops came next: the bovine stars themselves! Many of the group went up to meet and snap photos of some of the herd, half of whom were resting, while the other half was grazing and drinking from the trough near the fence.
We next walked up the gravel road towards the cheese cave, which resembled a Hobbit home and was constructed in a grassy hillside, with a charming handcrafted door in the front and an air vent in the rear. Kurt mentioned that on warm days he liked to enter and walk the cave's earthen floors just to savor its subterranean coolness beneath his feet. I bet some of us wished we could do the same –the day was a scorcher.
On the way back towards the farmhouse, we walked through another dairy barn, one housing a couple of 2-month old calves who shyly stayed back from the viewing area, but whose doe-eyed sweetness captured the attention of all who cooed back at them.
Once back at the kitchen, we finally got down to the business of sampling the end product of this operation: Kurt's famous cheeses! Kurt had earlier set out a wheel of his staple, Dinah's Cheese, (named after one of his first cows, Dinah) which he shared, "pays the mortgage, pays the electricity bill." He sliced the oozy Camembert style cheese and passed the plate around for our first sample of the day. All agreed it was rich, creamy, and delicious.
Next up was the LogHouse, a semi-hard tomme-style cheese that is aged for four months. We enjoyed each sample plain and unadorned to better taste the nuanced flavors of each cheese.
Afterward, as a special treat, Kurt shared his latest project: ice cream! With the caveat that some of the samples would contain chunks of butter, due to some processing challenges he was working through, Kurt brought out three flavors – helado de queso, chocolate mint, and tomato jam – all made with ingredients grown on his farm. He scooped up samples of all three into cones, which were passed around and savored, drips lapped up quickly by the eager farmhouse dog.
Following our final day's tasting, Kurt opened his "store" for cheese and book sales, and many of the attendees queued up with coolers at the ready to take home a Dinah's, LogHouse or both –fresh from the farm -as well as have their books autographed or purchase a new one for their collection.
Slow Food Seattle's visit to a working island dairy farm on a gorgeous summer day was made even better by being some of the first to sample Kurtwood Farm's new frozen offerings.
We look forward to revisiting this culinary experience closer to home while picking up some of his wares (cheeses, books, and other products) at the new micro-sized Chophouse Row retail space near 11th and Pike on Capitol Hill opening in Fall 2014.
Thank you, Kurt and friends, for the wonderful visit and glimpse into a day on the farm, and, with your incredible artisan cheeses, for bringing that experience from your table to ours.

A young boy caught sight of his mother changing one day and asked her what she had between her legs.
"That's something you're never going to talk about again. And you shouldn't touch it because it has teeth," she replied.
Many years went by, and the boy never touched any girl in between her legs because he was very scared.
One day, however, he met the love of his life, and they got married.
On their wedding night, his wife asked him to touch her there.
"No," he said. "It's got teeth."
"Silly goose!" she said. She spread her legs wide for him to see. "See? No teeth!"
"Well, I'm not surprised," he replied."Not with gums like that."
