DETROIT – The Ford Atlas and Nissan Resonance tied for best concepts, while the Cadillac ELR took best production vehicle in the Eyes on Design Awards at the 2013 North American International Auto Show on Tuesday.
Design Excellence Awards were presented in two categories this year, and, in an unexpected twist, design judges called a tie between two concepts.
Bob Lutz, former General Motors vice chairman, won the third award – the Catalyst Award – Empowering Great Design. The award was presented by Wayne Cherry, one of the judges and retired vice president of design for GM.
"I've always been passionate about beautiful objects, especially beautiful vehicles because it's the industry I'm in," Lutz said while accepting the award.
He added that because safety, fuel efficiency and other aspects of vehicles must adhere to government-mandated standards, "what's left is design."
The awards were followed by a panel discussion featuring Eyes on Design judges Dave Marek, director, automobile styling division, Honda R&D Americas Inc.; Ralph Gilles, senior vice president, product design, Chrysler Group Inc.; Anne Asensio, vice president of design experience, Dessault Systemes; and Franz von Holzhausen, senior design executive, Tesla Motors, who shared their thoughts on future design trends.
"Cars' silhouettes are getting similar because we're after the same aerodynamics," Gilles said.

Book a flight to Multan with Qatar Airways
Often referred to as the "City of Saints", Multan is Pakistan's sixth largest city and a commercial hub for the southern part of its Punjab province. Multan's popularity with tourists is soaring, as more and more people each year discover its ample charms.
Book a flight to Multan with Qatar Airways and explore Pakistan's sleepier side, amid a garden of culture, and architecture that seldom fails to impress.Multan is an agricultural town, and amid its rolling farmland lives a welcoming community with centuries of history to share. The region is famed for its pottery, with an entire institute dedicated to its practitioners. Elsewhere, the atmospheric ruins of a glamorous past await the curious traveller.
Multan highlights
The imposing contours of the Shah Rukn-e-Alam; the haunting ruins of Multan Fort; and the proud Institute of Blue Pottery; Multan's charms are plentiful.
Tourist attractions
Sitting on top of a small hillock is the first landmark you will see when you travel to Multan. The Shah Rukn-e-Alam sits behind the old ruins of Multan Fort. It is the tomb of the 13th-century Sufi saint, Shah Rukn-e-Alam, and its characteristic domed roof is a local landmark.
If you are a lover of architecture, history and culture, Multan has plenty to keep you busy. Still visible on a high mound of earth that elevates it from the River Ravi, Multan Fort was once one of the most strategic military strongholds in the country. Today, its crumbling, yet still dramatic, remains include its once-proud battlements. For a wonderful view of the city, head for Damdama, on the west side of the fort.
Dotted around Multan are the gates that once formed part of the city's defences. Pak Gate is named after Saint Hazrat Musa Pak Shaheed, and Bohar Gate faces the river, which once led out to the busy port.
The region is also known for its ceramics. The Institute of Blue Pottery is a great place to see artisans using both modern and traditional methods to create beautiful vases and pots.
Leisure activities
In Pakistan, cricket is a national passion. During your trip to Multan, you should try to see at least one game at Multan Cricket Stadium, which is considered one of the best in the country.
Gole Bagh Park is an ideal spot for those looking for a tranquil intermission from more active pursuits. Chaman Zar Askari Lake Park is similarly peaceful, but if you time your visit to coincide with the park's annual carnival, then you're in for a treat. A few rupees will buy admission to a cultural extravaganza, involving performers from around the world.
If culture is your preference, a leisurely stroll around Multan Museum will expose you to yet more of the history of the region, through a fine selection of artefacts, artwork and manuscripts.
If there is one foodstuff that Multan is known for, it's mangoes. If you thought there was just one type of mango then travelling to Multan during mango season will open your eyes. Each type has a distinctive flavour and hours can easily be spent discovering just a few of them. Look out for Sindhri, anwar ratol, langra, chaunsa and dasheri.
The people of Multan have a sweet tooth, and the diet-busting Multani Sohan Halwa is a local speciality. It's made from sugar, pure ghee and flour, to which pistachios and other nuts are added.
Street food is excellent, and is usually either chicken-based dishes with naan bread, or kebabs. More upmarket eateries are clustered around the Gulgasht area, and include everything from local and international options to Mongolian restaurants.
If you travel to Multan for a bit of retail therapy, then you'll find a great selection of everything from high-end luxury goods to locally produced crafts.
There are three main shopping districts in Multan: Sadar Bazar, Hussain Agahi and Gulgasht. Sadar is home to department stores, while Sharif Plaza, near the city courts, is great for clothing bargains. The city is particularly well known for its blue tiles, which make for great mementos of your trip to Multan.

The world's longest space exploration began yesterday with the launch of a Voyager spacecraft from Kennedy Space Centre at Cape Canaveral, Florida. In 1990 it could still be sending back information from the outer reaches of the solar system, 4,000 million miles away.
Its main purpose is to provide close-up pictures and scientific data about two of the outer planets, Jupiter and Saturn, both huge and somewhat insubstantial bodies consisting largely of the gases hydrogen and helium.
The Voyager spacecraft - another is to follow within the next fortnight - will take a close look at Saturn's rings, and at the moons of both planets.
The most interesting of these seems likely to be Titan, a Saturnine satellite almost half as big as the earth. Titan appears to have an atmosphere consisting of a mixture of methane and hydrogen, and might even have oceans full of liquid methane.
The two spacecraft will also pass close to Jupiter's satellites Callisto, Ganymede, Io, Europa and Amalthea (the first four were discovered by Galileo and take their names from Jupiter's lovers) before using Jupiter's huge gravitational field to swing them round on target for Saturn.
Assuming the spacecraft are still in good shape after looking at Saturn, its rings and its satellites, one of them will continue to Uranus, recently discovered to have Saturn-like rings.
Uranus will be reached in 1986, and then the spacecraft might be able to fly on to Neptune, the outermost of the planets. Only once in every 180 years do the planets line up conveniently enough to make such a grand tour possible.
After Neptune, the spacecraft will glide off into the abyss of interstellar space, carrying with them some earthly artefacts in case they ever fall into the hands of civilisations way out in space. The cargo includes a recorded message from President Carter, some music (Bach and Chuck Berry), a complete listing of the membership of the US Congress and information in 60 languages.
The chances that this message in a bottle will ever land on a friendly shore are infinitesimally small, and one or two scientists have grumpily accused the National Aeronautics and Space Agency of gimmickry.
But it does no harm, takes up little of the spacecraft's cargo capacity, may have helped to extract the money from Congress (around £180 million) and makes the stern scientific purposes of the mission seem more human.
[Both Voyager spacecraft are still in operation, nearing interstellar space.]

For Karol na Kurkov , there was no place like home to welcome her first child.
Setting up a birthing suite in the comforts of her Tribeca apartment, the model mama admits her motivation behind her decision to deliver naturally was simple: childbirth is nothing new.
"Of course we had the midwife, we had the doula, but that's something we really did a lot of research on and we wanted to do," Kurkov , 28, tells Access Hollywood Live. "We wanted to do it in our home where I felt comfortable."
"[For] centuries, women have been giving birth naturally and I think your body adjusts to it and you get into a zone."
Her active labor lasted 2 hours — a process she calls "quite quick" — and, by keeping her concentration on seeing her son, little time was left to think of the pain.
"It's not like, 'Oh my God, it's a pain. I'm dying, I'm dying,'" the supermodel coach of The Face says. "It was so gradual you just kind of deal with it. You get in a zone, you really focus on helping this child to come out."
With her husband Archie Drury preparing "green juice and coconut water" to keep his wife hydrated, it wasn't long before Kurkov 's midwife let her know baby boy was on his way.
"I really wanted to do it in the water because it's better for the baby to be born in the water — from water to water — and it's less painful for the mom," she explains of her decision to deliver in a birthing pool.
"When he's born in the water, there's still the umbilical cord so until you clip it they can still breathe through it. He was born in the water [then] we put him on my chest."
Recalling the big day as an "incredible experience" Kurkov will "absolutely" do it all over again — eventually. Until then, now 3-year-old Tobin Jack has all his mama's attention.
"I want to enjoy [Tobin] first and learn everything and really spend time with him," she explains.

Just for some fun and relaxation, I decided to start doing some Lisp. I had set up SLIME a few months backs while I was starting some book but I had not done much. I decided to use SBCL because I had read that is usually fast. The reason I was using SLIME is that the back arrow key does not work when I use the SBCL REPL and that is very annoying to me because I type both opening and closing parentheses together and type the rest of the code in between. To setup SLIME, a lot of documentation is available online so I wont re-iterate. Just for reference, the SLIME section of the .emacs file is as follows:
(setq inferior-lisp-program "/usr/bin/sbcl")
(add-to-list 'load-path "/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/slime/")
(require 'slime)
Once I was in SLIME REPL, I started writing a few s-expression to get a hang of it.
(+ 1 2)
(print 'hello)
(format t "hello world")
After that, I started writing a simple function that returns the nth number in the Fibonacci sequence. I came up with the following.
(defun foo (n)
((= n 1) 0)
((= n 2) (+ 1 (foo (- n 1))))
(+ (foo (- n 1)) (foo (- n 2)))))
And I started testing it.
(foo 1)
(foo 2)
(foo 3)
The result for
n = 3 was wrong. The reason lay in the last section of
cond. I intended it to be default but I had not specified the condition for it. So, I corrected it as follows.
(defun foo (n)
((= n 1) 0)
((= n 2) (+ 1 (foo (- n 1))))
(t (+ (foo (- n 1)) (foo (- n 2))))))
Now, the method was returning correct values. Clearly, it is a bad implementation. So, I thought the calls to
foo should be memoized. I could go ahead and try writing my own memoization but I wanted to see what Common Lisp had to offer. However, before doing that I wanted to know whether memoization will be beneficial. So, I wanted to benchmark the memoized and the plain versions. Our good friend Google helped me out. I was able to start profiling using SBCL's built-in package
(in-package :cl-user)
(require :sb-sprof)
(declaim (optimize speed))
(sb-sprof:with-profiling (:max-samples 1000
:report :flat
:loop nil)
(foo 100))
I was a little doubtful that I should not be trying for the 100th Fibonacci number but still I went ahead with it and even after some minutes, it was going on. So, I now I decided to kill the profiling.
Ctrl+C Ctrl+C came in handy. I started low this time. From 10, 15, 25, I reached up to 40 at which value it took around 6 seconds.
(sb-sprof:with-profiling (:max-samples 1000
:report :flat
:loop nil)
(foo 40))
Now, I was ready to test a memoized version of the function and see how much benefit I can get. I remembered reading some code by Peter Norvig in Python which used a decorator to achieve generic memoization. So, I thought Lisp ought to have something similar. I found a nice memoization API. However, I had to install the package and I did not want to delve into that because I did not find any packages for Arch. So, I decided to settle for a less robust implementation.
(defun Basic-Memo (Function)
Now, the 1000th Fibonacci number was also easily calculated. When I tried to the above profiling code for (foo 1000), I was getting error for the run being too short. Trying for 10000th Fibonacci number, I got 0.01 seconds.
"Takes a normal function object and returns an `equivalent' memoized one"
(let ((Hash-Table (make-hash-table)))
#'(lambda (Arg)
(multiple-value-bind (Value Foundp)
(gethash Arg Hash-Table)
(setf (gethash Arg Hash-Table) (funcall Function Arg))))) ))
(defun Basic-Memoize (Function-Name)
"Memoize function associated with Function-Name. Simplified version"
(setf (symbol-function Function-Name)
(Basic-Memo (symbol-function Function-Name))))
(Basic-Memoize 'foo)

The purpose of this study is to determine the safety, efficacy, and tolerability of a three-dose regimen of an adenovirus-based HIV-1 vaccine in healthy South African adults.
HIV Infections
Biological: MRKAd5 HIV-1 gag/pol/nef
Other: Placebo
Phase 2
|Study Type:
|Study Design:
|Allocation: Randomized
Endpoint Classification: Safety/Efficacy Study
Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment
Masking: Open Label
Primary Purpose: Prevention
|Official Title:
|A Multicenter Double-Blind Randomized Placebo-Controlled Phase IIB Test-of-Concept Study to Evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of a Three-Dose Regimen of the Clade B-based Merck Adenovirus Serotype 5 HIV-1 Gag/Pol/Nef Vaccine in HIV-1 Uninfected Adults in South Africa
- Acquisition of HIV-1 infection [ Time Frame: Throughout study ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
- Viral load set point (HIV-1 RNA) in study participants who become HIV infected [ Time Frame: At approximately 3 months postdiagnosis ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
- Acquisition of HIV-1 infection among participants with baseline Ad5 neutralizing antibody titers of 200 or less [ Time Frame: Throughout study ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
- Viral load setpoint in such study participants [ Time Frame: Throughout study ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
- Durability of effect of vaccine on suppression of HIV-1 viral RNA and preservation of CD4 counts [ Time Frame: At 18 months after diagnosis of HIV infection ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
- One time questionnaire evaluating impact of discontinuation of vaccination on participants [ Time Frame: After vaccination discontinuation ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
|Study Start Date:
|January 2007
|Assigned Interventions
Experimental: 1
Three doses of MRKAd5 HIV-1 gag/pol/nef vaccine
Biological: MRKAd5 HIV-1 gag/pol/nef
Experimental Clade-B based Adenovirus serotype 5 HIV-1 gag/pol/nef vaccine
Placebo Comparator: 2
Other: Placebo
Detailed Description:
The HIV epidemic is a major global health challenge. The Joint United Nations Program on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS) reported that in 2004, 3 million people worldwide died of AIDS and an estimated 5 million people acquired HIV. Studies in animal models and observational data from humans suggest that cell-mediated immune responses may be key to controlling HIV infection. MRKAd5 HIV-1 gag/pol/nef, a clade B-based adenovirus serotype 5 HIV-1 vaccine, has been shown to elicit T-cell mediated immune responses. The vaccine appears to be safe and generally well tolerated in previous Phase 1 and 2 studies in HIV-uninfected people. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the MRKAd5 HIV-1 gag/pol/nef vaccine in HIV-uninfected participants from South Africa, where clade C is predominant. The study will address whether a clade B-based vaccine designed to elicit T-cellular immunity will demonstrate efficacy in reducing acquisition of infection, or reducing HIV viral load in persons who become infected in a non-clade B region.
This study will last about 42 months for HIV-uninfected participants and 18 months for those who become HIV infected. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive 3 doses of either vaccine or placebo. All participants will receive their injections at study entry and at Months 1 and 6. Participants will be asked to complete a post-vaccination symptom log for the 3 days following each vaccination to monitor body temperature and symptoms known to be associated with the vaccine. At all study visits, participants will be asked about any adverse events they may have experienced. There will be at least 14 study visits over the first 4 years of the study. A physical exam, medication history, risk reduction counseling, and blood collection will occur at every visit. Participants will be asked to complete a social impact questionnaire at Weeks 12, 78, and 208; an outside testing and belief questionnaire at Weeks 30, 78, 130, 182, and 208; and a circumcision status assessment at Week 208. Participants will undergo HIV testing to check their HIV status approximately every 3 months.
Participants who become HIV infected during the study will have eight study visits at Weeks 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 26, 52, and 78 post-diagnosis. A physical exam, risk reduction counseling, blood and urine collection, and a pregnancy test will occur at all visits. Genital secretion collection may also occur at some visits. Participants who become HIV infected and need to begin anti-HIV therapy will be discontinued from this study, but encouraged to enroll in the study HVTN 802.
As of September 17, 2007 enrollment and vaccinations for this study were suspended. Participants already enrolled have been asked to continue attending follow-up visits with this study.
|Ages Eligible for Study:
|18 Years to 35 Years
|Genders Eligible for Study:

Update; D73/F57 matriarch sativa; M&M's!
I think it's about time i spilled the beans, re the rescue, of the "Mother of Mothers" Sativa. And the Hard earned new culture ground experience.
But the beans where 3+ years old when i got them. 100% germ.
I had to put my botanical forensic detective DP hat on, for this one kylo !!. I had to awaken the canna forces... to solve this one Rey !!........and scavenge and salvage hunt information, from all over the milky way...!! to rescue these "Super Dames" (MOMS) into some sort of new order....!! "But Where Not Outa The Woods Just Yet"
And come up with an answer to the problems the Dames where having. They shouted it early and loud and clear. I drew up a one chance only logical treatment plan. I will tell the story later;...........
Sty556@420@Dp just had the same issue. You can see there with the "Euforia's" in late chronic affect of shot Ph. I put him on the Night Queens, in allmix, he is happy now !!...
But here are the Mums of mothers; or grandparents, either way these are stonking....
And just started to buld trich mass.........M&M Dames.
MMS;....."M&M's........ Day 73 F57 F12+ 100% primordial strain, Feminized Sativa.
Some are still showings sign. But the higher the sativa, the faster it ripens. I recon these ultra light yielding power M&M houses, will pack a punch, to rival the Argentinian high Sativas.
They have showed there hardiness to bad soil and and low winter temps. Which you get above 3000ft in the "Andes"........... they have lows of 17.5c regular at the mo, (Purple Stem Anthrocyanin), occurrence. And i am sure this stratification, or "Vernification"....... is having a wild, outdoor growth effect, or calendar simulation. Low temps can cause Phos Defs though. But I am pleased i stuck by them, with a leap of faith in the grandparents lineage. Hi to all, hope you is all ready for the "Vacations" Autoberry

They call it the nail, and LeBron James kept hitting the head and driving it home in the fourth quarter of Game 5 Thursday night at Quicken Loans Arena
They call it the nail, and LeBron James kept hitting the head and driving it home in the fourth quarter of Game 5 Thursday night at Quicken Loans Arena.
With James between the foul line and top of the key and his back to the basket, the Cavaliers found a soft spot in Orlando's defense that led to a fourth-quarter explosion. The result was a Cleveland win to give the Cavs some hope for Game 6 of the Eastern Conference finals tonight in Orlando.
Only Mike Brown's kin would argue against the Cleveland head coach being snuffed out by Stan Van Gundy through the first four games of this series.
That's why the playoffs are a different beast.
In a seven-game series, games are almost like quarters. Brown and the Cavs sprung their plan at the right time Thursday.
The NBA's Coach of the Year can come up with all the X's and O's he wants, it's his team's heart and will that will decide this series. Every team has a breaking point. The Magic finally reached their in Game 5. The Cavs have been there already and back again.
"What we have to do is throughout the playoffs play like we're down 3-to-1 (in the series) and play aggressively," Cavs guard Daniel Gibson said. "We had that intensity, and that was big for us, because I don't feel we played that way this series."
James discovered his lost teammates. Gibson scored 11 off the bench in Game 5, hitting big shots when his team needed them.
Mo Williams ... welcome to the conference finals. The Robin to James' Batman, Williams nailed 6-of-9 3-pointers. Orlando finally lost its hellfire missile range from downtown, hitting 8-of-25 3-pointers in a series in which the Magic were 41 percent from there.
The key to winning is the fourth quarter. It isn't jumping out by 20 to start then watch the Magic play their way back. It's not wondrous buzzer-beaters only made by hands the God blessed.
These are two evenly matched teams. Orlando will make a run or three tonight. That doesn't mean Brown is being outcoached or Cleveland is being outplayed.
There isn't always an answer for the obvious.
"The answer is that's a damned good basketball team over there," Williams said.
Cleveland hadn't closed out a game until Game 5. Orlando was plus-15 in the fourth quarter of the first four games. The Cavs won the Thursday's final 12 minutes by 11 points.
James can't do it all, all the time. He didn't have a great first half, but he kept his teammates involved.
"With him being a great closer, you want him to be able to close," Gibson said. "You don't want him to have to carry you for four quarters. Mo, (Zydrunas Ilgauskas) and the other guys stepped up. LeBron is the best player in the game, and you want him to have the ball in his hands in the fourth quarter."
That's what happened Thursday. James scored or created 32 straight Cavs points from Gibson's 3-pointer to end the third to Anderson Varejao's 3-point play with 67 seconds left in the game.
"He's out of this world," Gibson said. "This is his moment, and he's realizing this is his time. I've never seen this kind of focus an intensity from him, even in the playoffs. Everything about him right now says, 'It's my time,' and he knows it."

by Monica Takacs, Director of Membership, MEMS Industry Group
February 2014, MEMS Industry Group (MIG) exhibited at the MD&M West conference and tradeshow in Anaheim, CA with MIG members AM Fitzgerald & Associates, IMT – Innovative Micro Technology and Silex Microsystems as our co-exhibitors. Our host for the microtechnology pavilion was IVAM Microtechnology Network, one of our 26 partner organizations, and it featured international companies involved in the manufacturing of MEMS, sensors and printed electronics for the medical device industry.
Medical device manufacturers have quickly noticed MEMS as a viable solution to include in their multi-functional next-generation products. With MEMS steadily making its way into more medical applications, MIG is creating opportunities for our members to connect with the medical device community. In addition to attending and creating content for medical-device shows, we are launching members-only programming such as the MEMS in Healthcare Working Group, launched in the fall of 2013.
At MD&M West, MIG hosted a Learning Labs conference session, "Advanced Application of Sensors in Medical Devices," with MIG Governing Council Member Alissa M. Fitzgerald, Ph.D., founder and managing member, A.M. Fitzgerald & Associates, LLC as the chair. A panel of MIG members IMT – Innovative Micro Technology, Merit Sensor, Silex Microsystems and Small Tech Consulting also participated in the panel discussion, "Utilizing new sensor technologies for implantable devices."
The panel discussed the MEMS ecosystem and advised medical-device companies on navigating the opportunities and challenges of MEMS product development. Counseling companies not to reinvent the wheel, panelists explained that they can leverage partner relationships to overcome the technical challenges of MEMS fabrication.
They also described the evolution of the MEMS industry over the last 10 years from a landscape of startup companies to Fortune 500 and even 100 companies now including MEMS in their product roadmaps. Michael Shillinger, founder of IMT remarked that the majority of IMT's customer base is now made up of large companies rather than startups. Moderator Leslie Field, CEO of Small Tech Consulting, remarked how development cycles aren't what they used to be, which has led to the ubiquity of MEMS.
Kevin Mach, senior account manager of Silex Microsystems cited the critical role of MEMS foundries in the massive adoption of MEMS over the last decade: "Companies planning to get into the medical/life science space need to reach out to MEMS foundries early and often. It's important to understand what options are available in manufacturing and to leverage the technical expertise gained from years of MEMS processing. In our experience, customers that take the time to understand the capabilities and limitations of their partners tend to be successful long-term."
Rick Russell, president of Merit Sensor, encouraged attendees to design MEMS for packaging, particularly with regard to implantables, which require lots of capital and are a challenge due to FDA regulations. Alissa Fitzgerald added that MEMS packaging for implantables is an opportunity for innovation and patents. Because MEMS is heading in the direction of commoditization, the value add is the packaging of the chip into the product, said Fitzgerald.
MIG members on the panel had their own takeaways:
"I was very impressed by the number of people who attended the panel, said Russell. "The overwhelming response showed me that innovators are eager to adopt more MEMS devices to help diagnose your physical state, whether it be your heart rate during a medical procedure or simply sharing your daily activity level on social media. The number of companies adopting MEMS for wearable devices (noninvasive) has exploded, but those that require FDA approval (invasive) are much slower to market but have a higher long-term reward."
"I was excited to see so many people in the audience already aware of MEMS and thinking about how to use them in their products," said Fitzgerald. "We need to have more interactions like this between medical device innovators and the MEMS industry. The more we can learn about each other's needs and capabilities, the faster we'll see exciting new medical products emerge."
Listen to moderator Leslie Field discuss all of the key takeaways of the panel below.
Elsewhere on the show floor, MIG members were scattered throughout. Interlink Electronics showcased their force sensing technology, COTO Technology presented their RedRock MEMS Switch, which was awarded 2013 Product of the Year (MEMS category), by Electronic Products magazine, and Merit Sensor demoed their BP Series Blood Pressure Medical Sensor.
See both the Merit and Coto Technology product demos below.

History and Heritage
George Fox is the oldest Christian university in Oregon. More than 125 years ago, evangelical Quaker pioneers helped settle the rich and fruitful Chehalem Valley of Oregon, which is now known for its premier vineyards.
One of the settlers' first priorities, along with the founding of their church, was the education of their children. They established the Friends Pacific Academy in 1885, which focused on Christian instruction. Among those first academy students was a future U.S. president, Herbert Hoover.
At the same time, the founding pioneers were looking ahead with the dream of a college to provide further and more advanced education. That time came on Sept. 9, 1891, with the opening of the doors of Pacific College. Fifteen students were enrolled the first day of classes.
Since then, the institution has seen major changes, including a name change. In 1949, because of the many "Pacific" colleges, the school was renamed "George Fox College" in honor of the founder of the Friends (Quaker) movement.
The college remained a small and intimate learning environment for the years following and received accreditation in 1959. Over the next 20 years, the college would add facilities and increase the academic rigor of its programs. During the 1980s, George Fox adopted an innovative mindset and rapidly expanded its program offerings, which triggered a growth spurt that continued for the next 20 years.
With the school's merger with Western Evangelical Seminary in 1996, the college changed its name to "George Fox University." During the next 12 years, the university experienced rapid growth, quadrupling in size. Enrollment surpassed 3,300 students in 2008, 3,700 students in 2013 and 3,900 students in 2015. The university broke the 4,000-student milestone for the first time in its history in the fall of 2016.
Today, George Fox is Oregon's nationally recognized Christian university, providing students with personal attention, global opportunities to learn and serve, and a support community that encourages academic rigor and spiritual growth. The university offers more than 40 majors, adult degree programs, six seminary degrees, and 12 master's and doctoral degrees. In addition to a residential campus in Newberg, Oregon, classes are now taught in Portland, Salem and Redmond, Oregon.
Friday, Sept. 9, 2016, marked the 125th anniversary of George Fox's founding. To read more about the university's history, visit our 125th Anniversary web page.

The personalized license plate "HONK4PCE" is just pathetic.
Oh and the tell tell sign? "Please pity my low post count. I try so hard."
Listen, it takes effort, loss of family, sleep, job and sanity to get that ring(or double ring). If you are not up to the task then at least admit it. You are totally screamin' green with envy at those who do.
Oh and yeah, all you "ringers"? BACK OFF BOOGALOO. We see you, all bright and shiny, showin' off to the world. "Look at me, look at me." Pffffft. As if we had any other choice.
Well here is your chance. It is easy and I will help you along.
Just step up to the mic, take it with confidence, say your name and state your problem.
"Hello, my name is Rwhen and I have POST COUNT ENVY."
This attempt at humor is not directed to anyone high or low, big or small - tall or short, this additive is for political correctness even though I know you ALL suffer this affliction!

Apologetic Paula Deen Let Go By Food Network After Racial Slurs Controversy
Deen said she wants to "learn and grow" from the experience.
June 21, 2013 -- Paula Deen made a teary apology in two online videos today for her use of racial slurs, however the Food Network said it was firing the self-proclaimed queen of southern cooking.
"Food Network will not renew Paula Deen's contract when it expires at the end of this month," a spokesperson said in a statement to ABC News.
Deen, whose folksy charm catapulted her to fame with viewers on the Food Network, apologized today for the "mistakes that I have made" in the wake of criticism of a deposition in which she admitted to using racial slurs.
WATCH: Paula Deen: 'I Beg For Your Forgiveness'
"I want to apologize to everybody for the wrong that I've done," a teary Deen said in a 46-second video that was posted online this afternoon.
"I want to learn and grow from this. Inappropriate and hurtful language is totally, totally unacceptable," she said. "I've made plenty of mistakes along the way but I beg you, my children, my team, my fans, my partners, I beg for your forgiveness. Please forgive me for the mistakes that I have made."
In a second video, spanning nearly two minutes, Deen appeared more composed and said she offered her "sincere apology to those that I have hurt and I hope that you forgive me because this comes from the deepest part of my heart."
"I have spent the best of 24 years to help myself and others. Your color of your skin, your religion, your sexual preference does not matter to me but it's what in the heart, what's in the heart, and my family and I try to live by that," she said in the second video. "I am here to say I am so sorry. I was wrong."
The celebrity chef and her brother are being sued for racial and sexual discrimination by Lisa Jackson, who worked as a manager of their restaurant. During a deposition in May, Jackson's lawyer asked Deen, 66, if she'd ever used the N-word. She said she had.
On Thursday, Paula Deen Enterprises told ABC News in a statement that the chef was "speaking largely about a time in American history which was quite different than today."
"She was born 60 years ago when America's South had schools that were segregated, different bathrooms, different restaurants and Americans rode in different parts of the bus. This is not today," the statement said.
Deen's attorney, Bill Franklin, said Deen "does not condone or find the use of racial epithets acceptable."
Deen became one of the Food Network's top stars after she landed her first show, "Paula's Home Cooking," in 2002.

As usual, we had a really wonderful but busy Easter.
Every year, our church does a sunrise service (6:00 a.m.). It's always rough getting the kids up, but we are always so glad we went. It is always such a blessing! I got to sing with our church's quartet and really appreciated my pastor's message. I'm so thankful for the sacrifice Christ made for me on the cross!
After our church-provided breakfast, we headed home for a couple of hours until we had to be back at the church for the regular morning service. We had a wonderful time of worship--an Easter cantata, a powerful message, and I was privileged to sing a solo--The Getty's "Power of the Cross". Here is a video of what I sang (man, I wish I could've sounded like THIS!) I never get tired of watching this or listening to her sing.
Such an amazing song with deep truth! I felt so blessed to be a part of such a special day at our church (and, truthfully--was REALLY glad I didn't squeak or squawk in front of all those people in my church! *whew*)
He took each thing out, one by one, and exclaimed over how special it was.
All in all, it was a super day. So thankful to have such meaning behind Easter, and to be able to be with family and truly have a fantastically FUN day!

A plan to reverse a dramatic insurance rate hike at two upscale Bluffton developments with a tax increase for more firefighters heads to the Beaufort County Council, but officials say its full passage depends on the budgetary decisions surrounding an ongoing reassessment of property values.
The Bluffton Township Fire District passed an amended plan to head off steep rate increases at Palmetto Bluff and Colleton River Plantation in a 4-2 vote Thursday after lengthy debate during which some commissioners questioned the need for a 24-person staffing proposal that would cost taxpayers about $1.3 million in the next fiscal year, which starts July 1.
The problem arose last year when an agency that determines fire insurance rates determined unmanned stations at Colleton River and Palmetto Bluff earned the developments the worst possible rating, triggering premium hikes three times the previous level in some cases while costing hundreds of thousands collectively on an annual basis, according to the Fire District. Insurance premiums have risen by more than $10,000 in some cases, according to property owner representatives.
The amended plan seeks to address the problem in two parts. The first involves placing two current staffers at each development at a cost of $219,915 in overtime this fiscal year to satisfy the rating agency, Insurance Services Office, while starting 24 new employees in the spring at a cost of $334,762 so they'll be trained by the beginning of the new fiscal year to work four-man shifts at both communities.
The second part of the plan requires continuing those personnel costs into the new fiscal year at a cost of $1.3 million annually, which would require a tax increase for district residents. But by how much depends on the value of a mill after the reassessment and whether County Council decides to allow a full rate increase to maintain current levels of revenue.
Commissioners question full staffing plan
Commissioner Mike Raymond proposed the Fire District cut the plan in half to 12 new hires while Commissioner David Meeder suggested tabling the proposal altogether to formulate alternatives. Both motions failed.
Raymond noted that ISO requires only two-person stations to reduce the developments' ratings from the worst-possible 10 to the district-wide 3, and the two temporary stations are in place solely to prevent a tax hike and not to respond to structural fires, which are rare.
"I think it's imperative that we understand what we do here today could affect everyone in our township, some 60,000 or 70,000 residents," he said. "This is not solely relegated to Colleton River Plantation and Palmetto Bluff, two of the richest neighborhoods in all of America."
But other commissioners with long records in fire service called two-person shifts "unacceptable" from a safety standpoint, and Chief Barry Turner noted the standards from national organizations establishes a four-person minimum.
"The consensus from a Fire District operations standpoint is that we need to staff it with four," he said.
Meeder expressed disappointment with the Fire District's inability to wring financial support for personnel from the two communities and an approval process that rushed forth one option when the problem was limited to a ratings issue, not fire service.
"We're not doing our job," he said. "We're saddling the taxpayers with $2 million dollars forever."
But Chairman Terry Reynolds defended the commission, saying it had acted to provide the same rating for all communities while setting in motion an investment with a precedent in previous communities.
"We especially don't want to get in the way of development at Palmetto Bluff or Colleton River, which will generate more taxes," he said.
Developer involvement
The amended plan includes offerings of facilities and impact fees from the two developers.
Colleton River Plantation will construct a "shell building" on its own land for lease from the Fire District at a monthly cost of $1,200 over 20 years, with a provision requiring the Fire District to pay $200,000 for upgrades and furnishings.
Palmetto Bluff will provide temporary facilities until the construction of a permanent firehouse, which the community has to build under its development agreement. The Fire District's plan also mentions a $500,000 pledge in impact fees that can not be used toward staffing but instead could subsidize the purchase of a new fire truck.
Raymond, who is also a town councilman, accused the Fire District of improperly inserting itself into a development agreement that serves as a contract between the town and Palmetto Bluff.
But Roberts Vaux, the fire district's attorney, said after the meeting that the town's role wouldn't prevent the commissioners from moving forward. Town Manager Anthony Barrett said Bluffton Town Council will take the plan "under advisement" at its meeting Tuesday, but the the town's part in the plan has to be vetted by officials and legal counsel.
What happens next
Although the Fire District originally planned a Jan. 7 start date for its temporary staffing plan, the proposal now heads to the County Council Governmental Committee strictly as an informational item while county staff researches the Fire District's ability to tap its reserves.
County officials questioned the legality of funding the personnel this fiscal year with a short-term loan as proposed by the district, but relying on reserves comes with its own risks if County Council doesn't authorize the next fiscal year's tax increase because of a reassessment widely anticipated to deal area finances a blow, said County Administrator Gary Kubic.
The new value of a single mill in property taxes won't likely be known until April, but in the meantime council will debate whether to fully hike taxes to maintain the same level of revenue. Kubic said he wants council to deliver a decision in the next 30 to 45 days, and until the picture becomes clearer he can't recommend the plan.
"There is no way my administration is going to say you have the ability to make a recommendation to impose 2.8 mills to satisfy the cash flow needs of this district on an unknown budgetary process that won't be resolved most likely until June," he said during the Fire District meeting Thursday.
On a positive note, substantial revenue will return to the Fire District with the expiration of Tax Increment Financing districts at the end of 2013, providing a potential opportunity to offset a requested tax increase, Kubic said.
Jerry Stewart, chairman of council's Governmental Committee, said his committee will hold off on a recommendation for the first part of the plan until the Fire District provides more financial information, which won't likely come before Monday's meeting of his committee.
"I'm looking at it as a two-part issue: You've got the 2013 changes and the long-term commitment," he said. "We cannot make the long-term commitment now, and if we allow the staffing this year they have to recognize that comes with risks."

No. 16 Nebraska topples No. 8 Lady Lions
LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) – Tear'a Laudermill scored 22 of her career-high 27 points and made six of her school record-tying seven 3-pointers in the first half, and No. 16 Nebraska defeated eighth-ranked Penn State 94-74 to stay alive in the Big Ten race on Monday night.
The Cornhuskers (21-5, 11-3) extended their winning streak to a season-best eight games and pulled within a half-game of the two-time defending champion Lady Lions (21-6, 12-3). The Huskers have two games remaining in the regular season and the Lady Lions have one.
The surprisingly easy win came after a 3-point shooting performance that was best in Division I this season, according to STATS. The Huskers finished 16 of 22 from beyond the arc, a 72.7-percent clip. The school record for 3s is 17.
The Huskers made 11 of 14 3-pointers in the first half. The 78.6-percent accuracy was best by a major-conference team in a half this season and No. 2 in Division I behind Alabama State's 81.8 percent (9 of 11) against Arkansas-Pine Bluff.
Jordan Hooper added 19 points, Rachel Theriot had 17 and Emily Cady added 14.
Ariel Edwards led Penn State with 24 points, Maggie Lucas had 17 and Dara Taylor had 10.
The 94 points were the most points allowed by Penn State in a non-overtime game since a 96-68 loss to Kent State in December 2002.
The Huskers held Lucas scoreless until the second half. The Big Ten's second-leading scorer had averaged better than 23 points in four previous games against Nebraska. Hailie Sample shadowed Lucas everywhere, and the conference preseason player of the year missed her first eight shots before making her first field goal with 14:16 left.
The crowd razzed Lucas after she launched an air ball from the top of the key early in the second half. She turned around, head down, as she went back to play defense. Her first points came on a couple free throws the next time down the court. She went to the bench frustrated after committing her third foul, throwing her towel under her chair as she sat down.
Lucas, who scored 34 points and made an arena-record eight 3-pointers the last time she faced the Huskers, ended up 5 of 18 with three 3s.
Penn State had beaten Nebraska in their previous three meetings, scoring no fewer than 80 points and winning by an average margin of 19 points.
The Huskers led all the way this time. They were up 22 points at halftime and stretched the lead to 32. It was Penn State's most lopsided loss of the season.
With about a minute left, the student section began chanting, "We Want UConn!"
Laudermill's third 3-pointer put Nebraska up 14 points less than five minutes into the game, and she made three more before she missed from the corner after calling for a cross-court pass from Theriot. Nebraska built a 15-point lead before Penn State went on a 10-2 run that Edwards finished with a 3 to pull the Lions within seven.
Nebraska outscored Penn State 14-2 the last 4 minutes of the half to lead 52-30. The 22-point halftime deficit was the largest Penn State faced this season, second only to the 20-pointer in a 83-79 loss at South Dakota State.
Laudermill wasn't the only hot hand in the first half for the Huskers. Hooper and Theriot made two 3-pointers each and Brandi Jeffery had one.
The loss was Penn State's first in a Big Ten road game this season.

On Feb. 1, the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) released a study that reported an average of 22 veterans committed suicide every day in 2010. And on Feb. 13, the House Committee on Veterans' Affairs held a hearing on how to overcome barriers that stand in the way of providing high-quality mental health care to America's veterans.
The American Legion's Veterans Affairs & Rehabilitation Commission submitted written testimony to the House hearing, questioning "whether VA's mental health care system is equipped to meet the demands of the veteran population it was created to serve. The VA may offer veterans the best mental health care option available, but if we face difficult barriers to access that care, then veterans are not really being served."
The Legion's testimony pointed out that VA has nearly doubled its mental health-care staff since 2005, to more than 20,000 providers; this reflects the greater influx of veterans who need psychiatric services. However, of the more than 1.5 million veterans that have left active duty in the past decade, nearly 690,000 of them have never been treated or evaluated by VA.
The Legion is concerned about veterans "who are slipping through the cracks, unable to access the health-care system they have earned through their service." Compounding this concern is the recent VA and Department of Defense (DoD) decision to abandon their efforts to create a single electronic health record system. With veterans waiting an average of 374 days for Medical Evaluation Board and Physical Evaluation Board claims, and an average of 257 days for VA claims, "veterans need faster processing, which will only come from a smooth transition of records. These records are needed for decisions, and the lack of a shareable record is hurting veterans."
And while DoD is helping to meet the mental health needs of service members and veterans by establishing pro bono programs for post-traumatic stress disorder and other mental disabilities, testimony from a Nov. 30, 2011, Senate Committee on Veterans' Affairs hearing "made it clear that VA was not working with nonprofit organizations to minimize patient wait-times for appointments, thus exacerbating the problem of the veteran's ability to receive care in a timely manner."
Meanwhile, President Obama issued an executive order on Aug. 31, 2012, calling on VA to provide an additional 800 peer-to-peer counselors. This kind of counseling has proven effective in veterans' rehabilitation, exemplified by Vet Center programs nationwide. The Legion encourages VA Secretary Eric Shinseki to use returning service members "for positions as peer support specialists in the effort to provide treatment, support services and readjustment counseling" for veterans who need those services.

Melissa Fier - 5.0 Babe of the Month - June 2013
Are you BOTM material?
By now the recipe for selection as our Babe of the Month is well known. A lovely lady and a Mustang are the two key ingredients. If the Mustang is hers, the odds of appearing on this page seem to go up. This time around, Melissa "Red" Fier of Charleston, South Carolina, took her entry to a new level. Not only does Red own this Mustang, but she bought it to outrun her dad's Corvette. Now that's our kinda gal!
"...I grew up in a Corvette household in Ohio. I have always enjoyed cars, and when I could afford one on my own, I not only wanted something that would get respect, but also something to outrun my dad's C5 Vette," Melissa explained. "I talked to a couple of my gearhead friends for their input on a good platform. My only requirements were that it had to be red and have the potential to beat my dad," Melissa said. "After much discussion, I chose a stock '03 Cobra. I will admit that for the first six months her power was intimidating, but it didn't take long for me to realize I wanted and needed more... so I sold my high school car—a Honda civic—so I could mod the Cobra."
Hold the phone. Not only did Melissa buy a Terminator to defeat her dad's midlife-crisis mobile, but she sold her foreign econo-box to finance modifications of said Cobra?
If we weren't sold on her BOTM qualifications before, we certainly were convinced after reading that. However, the story gets better. She didn't just add a couple bolt-ons, she really stepped things up.
"I decided on a larger supercharger and supporting mods. What I ended up with was a Kenne Bell 2.2, an upgraded fuel system, a full exhaust, and drag radials. On my first dyno tune, she put down 542 rwhp; by the end of the day, she was putting down 576 rwhp on 93 pump gas," she notes. "The difference was unbelievable. I only had one thing to do—drive to Ohio and run my dad. He underestimated what 'Red' could do, but he soon learned what forced-induction is all about when I pulled four cars on him.
"These pictures are recent, after I lowered it. Please make us BOTM!" Thanks for asking so nicely, Melissa, but after putting four cars on your dad's Vette, we had to put you and your car on this page.
We know you've stopped reading by now, but if you think you know a gal that is BOTM material, well, you won't know if you don't get out from under the hood and take a picture of her with your Mustang—or better yet, hers. Send those pictures and a description of your babe and the car to: BOTM, 5.0 Mustang & Super Fords, 9036 Brittany Way, Tampa, FL 33619 or email@example.com.

In the library of my high school was a collection of travel books from Time Life. The Great Britain book left the most indelible mark and featured nostalgic (not intentional) photography from the 1960's. Captions accompanied the riveting photography included:
-Young people dancing the night away at a London flat
-Regent Street decked out in lights.
-Swinging London (on Carnaby Street)
It made the U.K. into a place of dazzling fantasy and an obvious exodus for someone curious about the world. In high school, I wrote a report on Great Britain and received an A. Eventually; I visited the UK when I was fifteen. I remember the excitement and the same thought raced across my brain cells, " I am gonna see London, it's really gonna happen."
On the day of our trip to England, we took the ferryboat from Calais to Dover. The skies were unusually blue like Frank Sinatra's eyes. As the ferry sailed, English Channel also reflected the intense hue. The boat was filled with English people laughing, conversing and eating sandwiches. I stepped out to the deck and spent the first forty-five minutes daydreaming.
"Would London be like the Time life photos of the Swinging 60's? Is there music on every corner, accompanying the rain? & Is Buckingham Palace as big in person?" These were the questions I pondered.
The White Cliffs of Dover emerged from a mile away. My eyes starred into England from a distance. "I've always wanted to see Britain," I declared to one of my classmates. He smiled and said " You're dream has come true."
The boat arrived at Dover and I went through customs. Then our classmates & I boarded a bus to Canterbury. I kept thinking, " We're going to crash, we're going to crash," since it was my first time driving in the opposite side of the road. However, we didn't. After an afternoon in Canterbury, exploring its very English charms, it was off to London.
Two hours after dozing off on a winding highway, I awoke and found myself in London. I remember seeing the Tower Bridge and the Tower of London, while reveling in the austerity of some of Britain's most fascinating sites.
London became one of my favorite cities. The pictures from Time Life couldn't compare to actually being there. I fell in love and became obsessed with all things British. Throughout my life, I ended up visiting England more. However, nothing compared to the memorable encounter with the British Isles with the White Cliffs of Dover welcoming my youthful imagination.

Doctor convicted in death of German porn star who had heart attack during breast-enlargement surgery Back to video
The dpa news agency reported Tuesday that the Hamburg hospital doctor, identified only by the initials M.F. to protect her identity according to German law, was given a 15-month suspended sentence.
The anesthesiologist was found guilty by the Hamburg state court of not ensuring that 23-year-old Carolin Wosnitza, who went by the stage name "Sexy Cora" had enough oxygen during the 2011 cosmetic surgery. The actress, who also appeared on the Big Brother Germany reality television show, died several days after the botched procedure.
During the trial, the anesthesiologist told the court she took responsibility for Wosnitza's death.

Doug Wilson - 9781250004925
Engels | Druk: 1 | Hardcover | 9781250004925 | 320 pagina's
The first biography of the eccentric pitcher, rookie All-Star starter, 70s pop icon, and first athlete on the cover of Rolling Stone
For those who remember him, Mark Fidrych is still that player who brings a smile to your face, the irresistibly likable pitcher whose sudden rise brightened the star-spangled season of 1976 and reminded us of the pure joy of the game.
Lanky, mop-topped, and nicknamed for his resemblance to Big Bird on Sesame Street, Fidrych exploded onto the national stage during the Bicentennial summer as a rookie with the Detroit Tigers. He won over fans nationwide with his wildly endearing antics such as talking to the ball---and throwing back the ones that ''had hits in them''; getting down on his knees to ''manicure'' the mound of any cleat marks; and shaking hands with just about everyone from teammates to groundskeepers to cops during and after games. Female fans tried to obtain locks of his hair from his barber and even named babies after him.
But The Bird was no mere sideshow. The non-roster invitee to spring training that year quickly emerged as one of the best pitchers in the game. Meanwhile, his boyish enthusiasm, his famously modest lifestyle, and his refusal to sign with an agent during the days of labor disputes and free agency made him such a breath of fresh air for fans that not only did attendance in Detroit increase---by tens of thousands---for games he pitched, opposing teams would specifically ask the Tigers to shuffle their rotation so Fidrych would pitch in their cities, too. A rare player who transcended pop culture, Fidrych was named starting pitcher in the All-Star Game as a rookie (the first of his two All-Star nods) and became the first athlete to appear on the cover of Rolling Stone magazine.
Baseball researcher Doug Wilson delivers the first biography of this once-in-a-lifetime player. Through extensive interviews and meticulous research, the author recounts Fidrych's meteoric rise from Northborough, Massachusetts, to the big leagues, his heartbreaking fall after a torn knee ligament and then rotator cuff, his comeback attempts with the Tigers and in the Red Sox system, and one unforgettable night when The Bird pitched a swan song for the Pawtucket Red Sox against future star Dave Righetti in a game that remains part of local folklore. Finally, Wilson captures Fidrych's post-baseball life and his roles in the community, tragically culminating with his death in a freak accident in 2009.
The Bird gives readers a long-overdue look into the life of a player whom baseball had never seen before---and has never seen since.
