Support and Special Programs
Augustana welcomes international students! Some of the most important services for new students are also outlined below.
Free Airport Pick-up: Augustana provides free airport pick-up for all new international students. We will arrange for a staff member or ACE Ambassador to pick you up at the airport in Sioux Falls (FSD).
Orientation Program: New students enrolling for Fall 2018 should plan to arrive in Sioux Falls on August 20. International Student Orientation is held from August 21-24. Attendance at International Student Orientation is mandatory for new international students. Fall 2018 Semester classes begin on August 29. The last day of final exams for fall semester is December 12.
During orientation, the IPO will help you obtain your Augustana Student ID card, set up a bank account, help you get connected technologically, and provide emergency contact information and instructions. You will learn more about intramural sports teams, the Friendship Family program, the ACE program, and how to get involved with the many activities and events happening on campus and in the Sioux Falls community. We will also provide you with information and tips for the cultural adjustment process, making friends with American students, and a lesson on the philosophies and concepts that form the foundation of the American educational system and at Augustana as well.
This year, our International Student Orientation includes a trip to the Mt. Rushmore, the Black Hills, Badlands National Park, and Crazy Horse. We'll set out on August 22rd and return on the 24th. The bus ride, the hike up Black Elk Peak, the cultural experience at Mt. Rushmore and Crazy Horse are always excellent bonding opportunities among the large group of ACE Ambassadors and International students from around the world. All excursions are covered by your international student enrollment deposit, so you'll get to experience all of these moments at no extra cost!
A number of FUN activities are also included in orientation at Augustana. We will have a group picnic at scenic Falls Park with campus leaders, a campus photo scavenger hunt, and much more. By the end of orientation, you will meet LOTS of students and staff. Our talented ACE Ambassadors play an integral role during orientation, ensuring that new students adjust well, make friends, and start to get settled into their lives at Augustana University.
Employment and Internship Advising: The IPO is pleased to offer assistance to international students seeking employment or internships. Augustana is fortunate to be located in Sioux Falls, a city that enjoys a dynamic local economy and an unemployment rate among the lowest in the United States, making it comparatively easy for students to find jobs. Generally speaking, most international students are only permitted to work on campus during their first year of study. Most international students may be approved to work off-campus during their second, third, and fourth years of study as long as the job is related to their field of study. The IPO provides assistance with the SEVIS immigration paperwork related to employment for international students as well as help with social security number applications once a student has secured a job offer.
Immigration and Visa Advising: The IPO provides assistance to prospective and current students with the visa application process and general immigration questions. For more complicated immigration issues, the IPO can recommend immigration attorneys specializing in work with students. The U.S. State Department provides helpful information on its website as well.
Friendship Family Program: Augustana offers a Friendship Family Program for international students. Though nearly all new international students live on campus at Augustana, being a part of a local family can introduce you to American culture, activities, and family life away from campus. Please visit our Friendship Family page for more information. If you are interested in joining the program, please fill out a Friendship Family Student Application.
Augustana Cultural Exchange (ACE) Program: The ACE program provides peer assistance for new international students in the transition to Augustana University. Each new international student is placed in a small group with other new students and 3-4 second, third, or fourth-year Ambassadors. The Ambassadors act as mentors to new international students, providing guidance, advice, and assistance adapting to American culture and to studies at Augustana.
International Education Week: International Education Week is a joint initiative of the U.S. Department of State and Department of Education. It aims to highlight the growing importance of international education and exchange from both inbound (international students in the U.S.) and outbound (study abroad) perspectives. Augustana celebrates International Education Week each year in November with many fun international and intercultural events and activities for all students. Augustana's International Programs Office (IPO) and the Augustana International Club (AIC) invite you to participate!
Writing Center: Augustana offers a free Writing Center with nationally certified peer tutors. The tutors are available to help you understand your writing assignments, organize your ideas and provide strategies for editing. Each semester a variety of workshops are offered to help with the writing process as well. The Writing Center also sponsors a weekly English conversation table for international students.
Departmental Tutors: Many academic departments offer free tutors for Augustana students. View the tutoring schedule for each department.
Academic Advising: Each international student is assigned a faculty academic advisor in his or her major. Faculty advisors help students make sure they are taking the appropriate classes to complete their major and other academic requirements at Augustana. Students who are undecided are also assigned a faculty advisor until they have chosen a major. IPO staff serve as a secondary academic advisors for international students as needed.
Rendezvous Program: Each Friday at the Rendezvous Program, students gather in the Back Alley to listen to a fellow student/s presentation on their cultural experiences. These speakers are current international students and returning study abroad students. The presentations educate Augustana students and faculty members on their country of origin or recent study abroad experience. View the current Rendezvous schedule.
Excursions: In addition to monthly local activities, the IPO plans several excursions for international students outside of Sioux Falls each year. Annual excursions include a trip to the Mt. Rushmore, the Black Hills, Badlands National Park, and Crazy Horse, the Mall of America, the Omaha Zoo and Old Market area, as well as the Nobel Peace Prize Forum. These experiences are all covered by your international student enrollment deposit so you can take part in as many trips as you like!
Concerts and Entertainment: The Augustana Union Board of Governors (UBG) programs entertainment events at Augustana. Its purpose is to provide fun social, cultural, and developmental activities for the Augustana student body. Activities include films, dances, acoustic nights, Battle of the Bands, comedians, authors, world issues, symphony nights and Big Events concerts. Past Big Event performers include Ben Folds, O.A.R., Sara Bareilles, Wide Spread Panic, Philip Philips, Macklemore and Ryan Lewis, the Goo Goo Dolls, the Plain White T's and Parachute.
World Famous Speakers: Through the Boe Forum on Public Affairs, the Center for Western Studies has hosted many of the world's most influential leaders, including: Gen. Colin Powell (1995), President George H. W. Bush (1995), President of the former Soviet Union Mikhail Gorbachev (1996), Archbishop Desmond Tutu (1999), Jordan's Queen Noor (2001), Vice President Al Gore (2007), former President of Mexico Vicente Fox (2007), former Associate Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court Sandra Day O-Connor (2008), President of Pakistan Pervez Musharraf (2009), former U.S. Secretary of State Madeleine Albright (2010), former President of Ireland Mary Robinson (2011), director of Google Ideas Jared Cohen (2012), former governor of Utah and former U.S. ambassador to China and Singapore Jon Huntsman (2013), Microsoft Executive Robbie Bach (2014), the late U.S. Suprem Court Justice Antonin D.

I absolutely love it when hubby picks up our evening devotional, Morning and Evening, by Charles Spurgeon.
He began to read, "I have yet to speak on God's behalf" from Job 36:2, and I knew this reading would be exactly what I need.
We should not desire to be known by others for our virtue or for our zeal. But at the same time, it is a sin to always try to hide that which God has bestowed upon us for the good of others. A Christian is not be to a village in a valley, but a city set upon a hill. He is not to be a candle under a bushel, but a candle in a candlestick, giving light to all. (See Matthew 5:14-15) Retirement may be lovely in its season, and to hide one's self in modest, but the hiding of Christ in us can never be justified. The keeping back of truth which is precious to us is a sin against others and an offense against God. If you are of a nervous temperament and retiring disposition, take care that you do not indulge in this trembling tendency too much, lest you become useless to the Church. In the name of Him who was not ashamed of you, decide to ignore your feelings. Tell others what Christ has told you. If you cannot speak with the sound of a trumpet, use the still, small voice. If the pulpit is not your platform, if the press does not carry your words say with Peter and John, "Silver and gold have I none, but such as I have give I unto thee" (Acts 3:6). Talk to the Samaritan woman by the well if you cannot preach a sermon on the mountaintop. Utter the praises of Jesus in the house, if not in the temple; in the field, if not in the city; in your own household, if you cannot speak in the middle of the great family of man. From the hidden springs within let sweetly flowing streams of testimony flow forth, giving drink to every passer-by. Do not hide your talent. To speak for God will be refreshing for ourselves, cheering to saints, useful to sinners, and honoring to the Savior.
This devotional seemed to impart words I hadn't considered in quite some time, yet I'm so thankful for the reminder that sharing my testimony doesn't mean keeping silent and hiding out of fear. Instead, it means that wherever God directs my steps I'm to share the testimony that He has blessed my life beyond measure.
What about you? Do you boldly proclaim God's praises in your house, in the field, in the city, or on the mountaintop? Speaking for myself, this devotional is a true wake-up call and a feast for my soul.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A wave of immigrants is set to become the principal driver of U.S. population growth within 30 years, surpassing growth from births for the first time since the mid-1800's, federal government estimates show.
The swing toward growth from residents from abroad is expected between 2027 and 2038, the Census Bureau said in projections released on Wednesday.
By 2060, there could be 1.6 million new immigrants a year, compared with a natural population growth - the number of births exceeding deaths - of less than 900,000 annually, it said. (For a Reuters graphic, click on http://link.reuters.com/xug28t)
In addition to an influx of immigrants, the shift also results from the country's aging population and overall declining fertility rates, according to the agency, which tabulates much of the nation's demographic and economic data.
Thomas Mesenbourg, the Census Bureau's senior adviser, said the country has seen immigration surges before, "particularly during the great waves of the late 19th and early 20th centuries," but it has not outpaced births since at least 1850.
Exactly when the latest shift will occur is largely driven by the rate of immigration in coming years, which is closely tied to an immigration overhaul now before Congress.
The Census analysis comes as lawmakers are grappling with a plan to revise the nation's immigration laws not only to address the 11 million illegal immigrants but also other programs aimed at those seeking to enter legally.
Although it does not factor in potential changes from an overhaul of immigration laws, the agency's findings offer a fuller picture of what America will look like in a generation or two.
It based its estimates on past rates of migration, using high and low rates over the last nearly 70 years. But it is difficult to gauge what effects new immigration rules and other social, economic and political changes could have, said Census demographer Jennifer Ortman.
Changes in other countries have an effect, too, Ortman said.
At the low end of the range, 824,000 immigrants would be arriving annually by 2060 while higher rates could mean as many as 1.6 million by then, Census said, based on historical trends.
At current immigration rates, there would be 725,000 arriving each year through 2060.
(This story has been fixed to correct the figure in paragraph 11 to 1.6 million, not 1.6 billion)

The BBA's Public Service blog, Beyond the Billable is your one stop shop for everything Public Service at the BBA. Check it out here.
On Saturday, Governor Patrick amended H 4286 "An Act relative to sentencing and improving law enforcement tools". The House and Senate have said they plan to take this amendment up immediately. There are two days left in the Legislature's formal session.
As you know, the Boston Bar Association is deeply concerned by the limitations of judicial discretion contained in H 4286 should it become law without Governor Patrick's amendment. The Governor's amendment would provide for judicial discretion on parole eligibility subject to a review on appeal in those cases when it is in the "interest of justice" and there are "substantial and compelling reasons" to do so. The judge would have the authority to allow parole eligibility for a habitual offender after serving two-thirds of the sentence or after 25 years for life sentences.
We need to urge the members of the Senate and House of Representatives to support Governor Patrick's amendment. Please call or email your state representative and state senator TODAY as well as Senate President Murray and Speaker DeLeo and urge them to support the governor's amendment.

Kevin "Fester" Gallagher took six months to hike the 2,181 miles from Georgia to Maine. Each day, he took 24 photos of successive steps. His film, Green Tunnel, consists of 4,000 physical slides scanned in and set to music, and provides the closest thing to physical exercise you're going to get today. It's also quite beautiful.

We were pretty excited to be doing a Welcome Home Workshop over in Belfast.. a.. because it's Belfast and we knew we would be spending a few days in good company with good food and.. b.. because this is where Pete's Dad is from.. where most of his family still are… and where Pete hasn't been for about 20 odd years.. it was definitely time to come home..
We spent the first few days in the centre of Belfast.. we held the workshop at the amazing Life Church on the Thursday and then had the Friday to explore the city. We didn't realise when we organised Welcome Home that the Giro, a huge bike race would be going on that weekend.. but walking around with every shop proudly displaying huge pink window stickers and roads lined with people with pink flags.. it actually had such a lovely atmosphere.
We started the day at the famous Titanic Belfast (which is a definite must see) and then headed to the incredible Made in Belfast for the BEST. Dinner. Ever…
Here's some iPhone goodness of our time in Belfast..
Pete's parents had travelled over (they live in England) and on the Saturday came to pick us up to spend some time visiting relatives in Belfast and then we headed over to Donegal to stay with Pete's 96 year old Great Aunt Peig. We spent the rest of the week walking along beaches.. playing card games.. eating sandwiches and scones and drinking vast amounts of tea. Me and Pete have been together for about 9 years now but if I'm honest.. I didn't really know his family very well… and I think even Pete would admit.. his memories of his family are mostly from when he was about 11 or 12yrs old so to go back now, as an adult.. it really was such a special trip.
For me, watching Pete.. listening to stories of when he visited Ireland as a child.. meeting Aunties, seeing family photos, visiting the same spots.. it felt a huge privilege. There are so many comparisons between both our families.. mine coming from Liverpool.. they both have such a strong culture.. both hard working.. living a stone's throw away from each other.. a wonderful sense of humour.. and of pride.. such normal, every day magic. And one day me and Pete would love to start a little family of our own and this will be their history too.. this is their family.. our family. It really did feel like home.
A few more iPhone photos…
Ireland.. we'll most definitely be back.

delivery(redirected from deliveries)
Also found in: Dictionary, Thesaurus, Medical, Legal, Idioms, Encyclopedia.
The tender and receipt of an actual commodity or financial instrument in settlement of a futures contract.
The transfer of a security or an underlying asset to a buyer. The term is often used in options, forward, and futures contracts, in which payment and delivery are separated by a relatively long period of time. Most of the time, however, delivery does not occur, as most traders offset their positions with opposite contracts.
1. The transfer of a security to an investor's broker in order to satisfy an executed sell order. Delivery is required by the settlement date.
2. The transfer of a specified commodity in order to meet the requirements of a commodity contract that has been sold.
The transfer of possession from one person to another.Deeds and leases require delivery before they are effective. Delivery does not depend on manual transfer, but does depend on the intent of the parties. Deeds are delivered when placed within the possession or control of the grantee in such a manner that the grantor cannot regain possession or control.

5 things to know from Chicago this week.
After years of jawing about it, the Chicago City Council on Thursday finally got around to broadcasting its meetings on the Internet, via the city clerk's Web site (www.chicityclerk.com). The baby step forward comes long after local units of government elsewhere in Illinois began airing the people's business on cable-access channels. Why the delay? Chicago aldermen were sensitive about roaming cameras catching them absent or snoozing. To safeguard their image, the Internet cameras are trained only on council members who are talking. In-Spire-ing Price Got $40 million? That reportedly is the mind-boggling asking price for the penthouse atop the planned Chicago Spire, which would be the highest building in North America. The twisting residential tower, designed by noted architect Santiago Calatrava, would rise 2,000 feet and be built near Navy Pier. The Most Powerful Shoes in Illinois The state's top legislative leaders, all smartly dressed in suits, met with Gov. Rod Blagojevich Wednesday in Chicago to negotiate a capital program. Forget the politics. What the people of Illinois really want to know is: What kind of shoes did the power-brokers wear? Blagojevich: Broken-in -- but well-polished and -preserved -- black Oxfords. Illinois House Speaker Michael Madigan, D-Chicago: Sleek black slip-on loafers with some kind of decorative metal clasp (the equivalent of feet epaulets?). House Republican Leader Tom Cross, R-Oswego: Medium-brown loafers, each with a fringe and buckle. A little frilly for a Republican, but Cross is considered a moderate. Senate President Emil Jones, D-Chicago: Black athletic walking shoes with black tennis-shoe laces. State Sen. Christine Radogno, R-Lemont (standing in for minority leader Frank Watson): Sensible black low-rise pumps. Where Would Dice Roll? Chicago Mayor Richard Daley disclosed that he has no intention of building a casino at Navy Pier, Northerly Island (the former Meigs Field) or McCormick Place, now that state lawmakers have moved closer to granting him his long-sought cash cow. Daley presumably was trying to keep rumor-mongering opponents at bay. Speculation is the mayor also knows exactly where a casino WOULD be built. But, of course, he's not saying. What's New Somebody's optimistic. Workers pasted giant Cubs decals on a LaSalle Street building last week in anticipation of the North Side baseball team advancing to the playoffs. Now it's simply a question of how soon those workers come back with a scraper. Mike Ramsey is the Chicago reporter for GateHouse News Service. He can be reached at (312) 857-2323 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

We called it Ring-And-Run. Other kids called it Ding Dong Ditch. Only when I moved out and lived on my own did I realize how aggravating it is to have some nitwit fifth-grader knock on your door and hide in the bushes when you went to open it. At least they didn't leave a flaming bag of dogshit on the stoop.
This phenomenon crosses cultures, evidently, as a Japanese developer has released Knock And Run (Ding Dong Dash is its Japanese name) for iOS. With it, you may annoy the crap out of 10 different homeowners and see their enraged reactions up close without paying any of the consequences.
While I suppose I'm glad we're giving kids a safe outlet to express these annoying urges, I do worry that they're missing an important lesson of being immature.
The game is free.

Brea, CA (PRWEB) October 31, 2012
With the 2012 presidential campaign heating up, Veterinary Pet Insurance Co. (VPI), the nation's oldest and largest provider of pet health insurance, analyzed its database of more than 485,000 insured pets to determine which of the 44 U.S. president's last names were most common among pets. All totaled, more than 3,400 pets in VPI's database were given the same moniker as the last name of a U.S. president.
Below is a list of the 10 most common presidential pet names in VPI's database of more than 485,000 insured pets (total number of pets sharing that name in parenthesis):
Most Common Presidential Pet Names
1.) Jackson (942)
2.) Madison (729)
3.) Wilson (269)
4.) Tyler (219)
5.) Taylor (206)
6.) Truman (167)
7.) Lincoln (143)
8.) Reagan (141)
9.) Arthur (99)
10.) Carter (82)
Other than Warren Harding and James Polk, all 44 U.S. presidents were represented with at least one pet name in VPI's database. Additionally, there are five pets named "Obama" and 10 others named "Barack." While there aren't any pets named "Romney" or "Mitt," the Republican nominee is represented by seven pets with the moniker "Willard," his rarely mentioned first name.
Party Affiliations
The Democratic Party has the most pet names (1,585) in common with U.S. presidents, out-polling Republicans by a ratio of more than 2 ½ -to- 1. Surprisingly, the Democratic-Republican Party, which dissolved in 1821, had more pet names (788) in VPI's database than the Republican Party (605). The Whig Party was represented by 486 pet names, while the Federalist Party came in with just one name (Adams). There are two pets named "Washington," the only former U.S. president to have been elected without any official endorsement by a political party.

Nicolas Winding Refn is alread reaching back in the history of cinema for a future project with a remake of Logan's Run in the works with Ryan Gosling attached to star. But now it sounds like the director is reaching further back into the past for a new project, this time for the small screen. Refn is currently working with Martha De Laurentiis, wife of the late great producer Dino De Laurentiis, to turn the classic 1968 sci-fi movie Barbarella starring Jane Fonda into a TV series. The film itself was based on a graphic novel by Jean-Claude Forest and followed a sultry vixen tasked with finding and stopping the evil Durand-Durand, an evil weapon inventor. So how exactly will the director of Drive be involved? Hit the jump to find out.
Deadline says Refn will direct and executive produce the series (though it's not clear if he'll direct episodes beyond the pilot) with the widow Laurentiis also acting as an executive producer. It was her husband who produced the original film (which has had a remake in the works for years), and now she's continuing the legacy on TV. In fact, it was the married couple who grabbed the rights for a remake back in 2007, but the project never got off the ground, and seems to have been even more stagnant since Dino's death in 2010.
Gaumont International Television, the company behind the forthcoming Hannibal TV series , is behind the adaptation, and they're also backing Refn's upcoming two feature films, including Only God Forgives . It sounds like Refn really likes sci-fi of the past, and he even calls Barbarella one of the "ultimate counter-cultural characters." The question is what leading lady has the goods, both in sexual appeal and acting prowess, to take the role. For me, the clear choice is Christina Hendricks. That would be just lovely.

Old School Rice Crispy Treat Goodness. Sorta. These are not only gluten-free, but egg-free and dairy-free. Almond butter is my secret ingredient.
From the archives- and old school favorite- updated.
Gloomy, rainy Sundays seem to stir up all kinds of sneaky devils and hungry ghosts in the guise of food nostalgia. I dreamed up my post about Zucchini Gratin on a Sunday, stirring up a bread crumbed casserole of desire fraught with secret emotions and sticky attachments. Food as familial comfort.
Food evoking a warm embrace.
Food as a way to connect our twenty-one grams of soul to this earth. The ground of being.
And I think I know why I'm tip toeing in the garden of nostalgia lately.
The world seems bent on disruption and displacement. Technology has forever altered the Old School way of doing business, looking up recipes, sharing a joke, researching a project, assembling an automobile, heating a home, influencing an audience, pitching to consumers, gathering the latest news.
The Genie is out of the bottle. And new rules apply.
But there are a few things that I stick by. In my sixth decade I still side with Hope. And Progress. And Equal Love, Equal Pay, freedom of speech. I see all my fellow humans as co-travelers on this short ride of Life. My Sisters, and Brothers.
We're all in this together.
And so I offer treats. Old school style. Dated, maybe. But tasty? Yep.
A 1950's baby boomer favorite- Rice Krispie Treats.
Which, Dear Reader, I am sorry to tell you, I have absolutely no recollection of ever eating. I have wracked my cranium and come up with nada. No bars of snap, crackle, pop. Apparently my mother was not a Rice Krispie fan.
Which may explain my deep abiding love for peanut butter toast.
So why the sudden nostalgia for this gimmicky no-bake treat? I have no idea. But I became a woman obsessed. I absolutely, positively had to make them.
Then I read the recipe.
Butter. Marshmallows. My heart sank a little. (Dairy. Gelatin. Corn syrup. Not on my Love List.) My dream of a crispy rice treat was going to need more than just a gluten-free version of Rice Krispies. It was going to need a little postmodern reinvention. A little vegan love. A little boost in the wholesome aspect. A little less spun corn syrup fakery and little more genuine yummiosity.
So forgive me if I've tinkered with your mini-marshmallow dreams, Darling. But there's no corn or animal byproducts binding these delectable morsels of light and crispy rice goodness. Nope. You'll just have to read the recipe to discover my secret caramel stick-to-it-ness.
GFG Gluten-Free Rice Crispy Treats RecipeRecipe posted September 2011 by Karina Allrich.
These easy no-bake treats are free of gluten, dairy, corn (use corn-free vanilla extract), and soy. But flavor? Flavor they got. Big time. Lovely, sticky caramel almondy deliciousness.
1 1/4 cups gluten-free organic brown rice syrup, agave, or honey
3/4 cup organic almond butter
2 tablespoons organic coconut oil
2 teaspoons bourbon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
6 cups gluten-free crispy brown rice cereal
Line a baking pan with a piece of parchment paper that extends up the long sides. Set aside.
In a saucepan, heat the brown rice syrup over medium heat, and stir until it begins to bubble a bit. Remove from heat and stir in the almond butter, coconut oil, vanilla and almond extract. As you stir the mixture, it should thicken and become glossy and elastic, much like caramel taffy.
Pour the crispy rice cereal into a large heat-safe mixing bowl. Carefully pour in the warm syrup mixture, and using a silicone spatula or wooden spoon, gently stir to coat all the cereal.
Scoop the coated cereal into the lined baking pan and spread evenly, gently smoothing out the top surface. Cover the pan with a sheet of plastic wrap or parchment paper.
Pop the pan into the fridge to chill.
When the bars have firmed to the touch, remove them from the pan, gripping the parchment edges and set them on a cutting board. Use a large sharp knife to score and cut the squares.
Wrap and chill. Store in the fridge.
Makes 24 squares.
Read labels, darlings. Not all crispy rice cereals are gluten-free. Choose one that sports "gluten-free" on the label. And if you- like me- are not a fan of the preservative BHT added to the new Gluten-Free Rice Krispies, take heart. There are lovely crispy brown rice cereals sans the yucky additive. Check the natural cereals aisle. And buy organic. Support our organic farmers and their families.
If almond butter is a no-no for you, try cashew butter.
If only a seed butter will do, it will work, but most seed butters have a much stronger flavor than subtle tasting almond butter, so the change will definitely affect the overall taste. It will be more intensely nutty. Maybe add in some mini-dark chocolate chips to cut the nuttiness?

Osage Beach 911 Looking for Solution to Call Center Problems
Related Story
OSAGE BEACH - The Osage Beach 911 center was back up and operating Friday. A system crash turned into an emergency practice exercise for the Osage Beach Police Department Wednesday. The 911-dispatch center crashed when a backup battery failed around 8 a.m. that morning.
An IT consultant was already on hand at the department conducting maintenance on another part of the system. The department prepared to take the system down and redirect calls to a mobile unit when the back up batteries failed taking the system off-line.
Osage Beach dispatchers used the Camden County Sheriff's emergency dispatch bus for the first time while the department worked to get the system running again. The Sheriff's department purchased the bus for emergency situations, like a non-working dispatch center. Dispatchers had the opportunity to practice in the bus until the system was back online Wednesday evening.
Communications Specialist Kwabena Asante said the failed system replicated what could happen if a tornado or other major event displaced the emergency center. He said practicing in the mobile unit was valuable.
"I had two dispatchers here that were working and they gained valuable experience that you could only get in a catastrophic situation," he said.
The department plans to update and replace the battery backup system. Asante said emergency funds from the department budget would cover the replacement system. It could cost around $20,000.
Asante said the system crash served as a reminder in the importance of regularly servicing equipment.
"In the end with my staff, it became more of training exercise. Nobody on the outside of this building and the people we work with and the agencies we work with knew there was a problem and that's how it supposed to be," he said.
Asante said while the dispatch system remained down for about eight hours, the department handled the event seamlessly.

The National Restaurant Association (NRA) released the following statement from President and CEO Dawn Sweeney upon passage of H.R. 6079, the "Repeal of Obamacare Act":
"On behalf of our members, we are pleased the House of Representatives has taken this step, which is in line with our view that given the unique issues that face the industry from a workforce standpoint, the economic impact of the employer mandate and the fines associated with it will impose insurmountable costs and administrative burdens for many in the industry," Sweeney said. "Our industry wants health care reform and we will continue to actively participate in the health care reform debate, but we believe Congress must seek comprehensive health care reform that focuses first on lowering health care coverage costs and not on reform that hampers the ability of employers to create jobs."
This week, the NRA sent a key vote letter to all House members informing them the NRA would consider votes on, or related to, H.R. 6079 in an annual "how they voted" scorecard.

Internet celebrity Antoine Dodson, who rose to fame in 2010 for his comments on a local news station, has been openly gay until May when he announced on Facebook that he has become a Hebrew Israelite and "no longer into homosexuality." Now, Dodson is back in the spotlight with another announcement: he will be a father.
According to TMZ, the YouTube star will not reveal who his girlfriend is but says he is in love.
"I just became the happiest man alive!! My beautiful Queen and I are having a baby!!" Dodson tweeted Tuesday night. He also said he and his girlfriend "took two tests to be sure" she was really with child.
"I'm having a baby - no hoax, no joke," he added.
TMZ's Harvey Levin, who is gay, then asked Dodson if he was the man who impregnated his girlfriend.
"Directly impregnated that I really do love," Dodson replied, "I really do love this girl."
Levin and his co-host then wished Dodson the best of luck.
Four months ago, Dodson took to Facebook to announce he was straight and part of the "True Chosen Hebrew Israelite descendants of Judah," the British newspaper the Daily Mail reports.
"I have to renounce myself, I'm no longer into homosexuality I want a wife and family, I want to multiply and raise and love my family that I create," Dodson wrote.
Three years ago, Dodson, who resides in Huntsville, Ala., became a YouTube sensation after he was interviewed for a local news station about his sister fighting off a man in her bed. The clip went viral and has over 55 million views.
His interview, where he famously said "hide your kids, hide your wife," has been remixed by the Gregory Brothers, two famous D.J.s for auto-tuning news videos. The song has over 117 million views and sold millions of copies on iTunes.

Nice moisturizer, not so nice ingredients
I really like the smell and consistency of this moisturizer. It went on really smooth and absorbed nicely. It is not heavy at all but still does it job. It uses Avobenzone as the ingredient for sun protection, which is a pretty good ingredient. Zinc oxide or Titanium oxide would be preferred. Avobenzone also has relatively high rates of skin allergy so if you have sensitive skin, maybe try another product.3

Over the past month, the MIA has been conducting visitor evaluations on the 'Follow Your Art' program. We want to find out how well the program is working to enhance the visitor experience, and through the administration of surveys, we are getting closer to this goal.
The 'Follow Your Art' program is a self-guided option within the museum which seeks to enable visitors to appreciate the stylistic elements of the pieces and gain a deeper understanding of Inuit art.
To gauge the efficacy of this program, we have created a short survey for guests to complete toward the end of their visit. In order to keep answers as accurate as possible, the surveys have been independently filled out by visitors without interference by administrators.
So far, the findings have been interesting! Of all the participants to date, 98.0% of visitors who experienced 'Follow Your Art' reported feeling a deeper connection to the art, with 70.0% of that group feeling a personal connection. In addition, 94.1% of respondents experienced an increase in understanding after experiencing 'Follow Your Art'.
When the data collection is complete, we will be conducting a thorough analysis of the responses, with more detailed findings available. Until then, drop by the museum to experience the evaluation process first-hand!

Up to 3 people

2 pet(s) allowed
Boats with dual steering positions feature a choice of two wheels to steer the boat with – one on the raised sun-deck and one inside the main cabin below. This means they are ideal for cruising in all weather conditions.
Aft steering cockpit boats are steered from a position at the rear, with a view through the screen forward over the whole length of the craft. This means they are generally easier to manoeuvre than other configurations. Most boats have a canopy with windows (similar to a convertible car's soft-top roof) which can be pulled forward to enclose the steering position for all-weather cruising, whilst some have a hard top design instead. Aft cockpit boats tend to be smaller than other types- this and their ease of handling makes them a good choice for first-time boaters.
Centre steering position the wheel in these boats is in the main cabin in the middle of the cockpit area. Most styles of this design will have a large sliding canopy over this cabin – making it ideal for cruising in all weathers.
Forward steering position. As the name suggests, these boats feature the steering position right at the front, inside the main cabin area. This means that forward vision is very good. These boats usually feature a spacious and light interior and a single level deck which many parties find more convenient and easy.
Tiller steering position. All canal boats are steered by a tiller, a handle connected directly to the rudder at the back ('stern') of the boat. The steering position is in the open, and there are three types of stern.
This boat has a Flying Bridge with the steering wheel position located on the deck above the saloon, providing a boat with total outside seating for the whole crew.

Second time with this boatyard.
We were well looked after, especially by the man who gave me my refresher tutorial.
We love the Broads.
Loved the boat had everything you needed on there,and everyone so friendly at Summercraft would definitely recommend

As with all Summercraft boats, Gala Girl is kept in superb condition and is a pleasure to have for a holiday. Some of the fittings and equipment are quite dated - like the cooker/hob that has to be lit with matches, but it is fully functional and does the job.
The boat handles well enough but no bow thruster to help when manoevering in tight or windy conditions.
The boatyard itself is a superb place to start being in the centre of everything at Wroxham and the staff are very pleasant and helpful.
Would recommend to anyone.

This was our first boating holiday and we absolutely loved it. Gala Girl was ideal for beginners, easy to handle and not to big. The boat was very clean with good facilities. Nice and cosy on cooler autumnal evenings.
First time for us....lovely relaxing week. Thoroughly enjoyed it
Gala girl is a easy to handle boat, access is good not too high to step on to which is a boon for silver tops like myself.The boatyard is set in a lovely spot and the staff fall over backwards to ensure that you have a carefree holiday
As usual relaxing and carefree. Great little boat. Ideal for two people and a dog. Customer care at Summercraft just right.
Began the hire of Gala Girl 1 at Summercraft, Wroxham. Very comprehensive handover of the boat and tutorial on the water up stream and back. Gala Girl was very well equipped and very clean and we moved in with our bed already made up and with plenty of cupboard and drawer space so unpacked and off we went. The broads are beautiful with lots of nature reserves and places to moor and explore - churches, nature walks, towns to name just a few. The camaraderie is fantastic and people helping others to moor or untie their boats is quite often a bonus. Just the whole atmosphere of being in such a beautiful area and with like minded people makes the holiday so successful. I would have no hesitation in repeating this holiday in the near future. Thank you Summercraft and Gala Girl 1 and thank you Norfolk Broads. Maria. :)
A very enjoyable holiday, Summercraft staff could not have been more helpful. The boat was clean and cosy, the shower/ toilet was compact but sufficient. Plenty of room for 2 adults and 2 large dogs, who loved their time on the boat. We would have no hesitation in recommending to others. All in all a lovely relaxing holiday.
Great little boat. Ideal for mooring in at every place you come across.
Fabulous week on the gala girl for our silver wedding anniversary

Overall was good but the boat lacked power when needed! On a good day no wind,no tide then the boats ok, but against the tide you'll do no more that 1-2 mph

You don't need a licence to drive a boat. However, like the Highway Code (but much simpler) there are a few basic rules you need to follow. These are all explained in the comprehensive manual which we provide in every boat. Your boatyard will also advise you when you are given your handover tuition.
Absolutely not. When you arrive to pick up your boat, you'll receive plenty of expert tuition from your boatyard staff. They'll provide all the training, help and advice you need until you're happy to take the helm. Your on-board manual gives you lots of tips and reminders, too.
Depending on the waterway, you'll be travelling at a maximum of 4mph to 7mph. Cruising about 4 hours a day means 80-100 miles in a week, and you can travel anywhere in the waters covered by your boat's licence. When you've searched our site for your ideal boat or start point, you can click to see details of suggested cruising routes for 3/4 night breaks and week-long holidays. View our cruising route maps, too.
The manual on board your boat has plenty of information about mooring places, and your boatyard will show you how to moor up. The most popular moorings are those closest to waterside pubs, restaurants, villages and towns (where a small charge is usually made) but there are many quieter places to moor free of charge. Mooring is free at any Hoseasons boatyard, Environment Agency mooring and on any canal towpath.
These are part of the fun. You simply steer your boat gently in, and use the big wooden beams to close the gates behind you. Then you open small paddle doors in the other gates with the L-shaped winding handle provided with your boat to let the water in or out and change the water level. Then you open the gates and drive out, stopping to close the gates and paddle doors before leaving. In Europe, and in Britain on the Thames, Caledonian Canal and parts of the Cambridgeshire Waterway, there are larger locks with lock-keepers to do the work for you. There are no locks on the Norfolk Broads.
Some boatyards (and nearly all on the canals) include your fuel in your holiday price, and the full tank you start with is usually much more than you need for your holiday. If you're charged, you will only be charged for the fuel used, and this amount will be deducted from your fuel deposit when you return the boat. Typical fuel costs for a week's cruising (depending on boat and waterway) are between £40-£100, but in Scotland, costs can be up to £130.
On your boat, of course. Your boat will have a full tank of water and all boats have hot and cold running water for kitchens and shower rooms. You can easily top up your water tank at all boatyards, yacht stations, and public moorings, usually at a small cost. When topping up remember to use "drinking water" only. We strongly recommend that water is boiled before drinking.
All you need to bring with you are sensible non-slip shoes, and you'll receive all the training about safety you need from your boatyard staff when you arrive. We recommend buoyancy aids for children and non-swimmers - these are provided free of charge when you pick up your boat. The boat manual on board your boat contains all the safety information you'll need, too. Remember, though, that boating is an active holiday. At least two members of your party will need to be able to jump on and off the boat to moor up and work the locks.
You must check when you make your booking before bringing any 240v electrical appliances. Some boats have 240v systems, but this does not mean that you can bring any appliances with you. In most cases, it's only possible to use the appliances supplied on the boat. All boats have shaver points for electric shavers, and most have a 12v accessory socket similar to a car. Any electrical items with a car adapter will operate from this socket, including mobile phones, camcorders, digital cameras and chargers for their batteries. You'll need to bring your own connecting plugs and leads, though.
Most boats welcome one or two well-behaved dogs and pets are free of charge at many canal boatyards. There are many excellent walks along the towpaths and in the countryside close to many moorings. For boating in Europe, the Pet Passport scheme is now well established, so you needn't leave one of the family behind! Visit https://www.defra.gov.uk/wildlife-pets for more details about what you need to do. You'll find other useful information at www.dogsaway.co.uk

Cruisers are the boats you will find available in the UK on the Norfolk Broads, the Cambridgeshire waterways, the Caledonian Canal and the River Thames. These waterways are not narrow like canals, so cruisers are of a normal width and overall shape. Cruisers are also available on the waterways of Ireland and Germany, and many of the boats on the rivers and canals of France and Holland are cruisers.
Available on the Norfolk Broads, River Thames and Caledonian Canal. Sizes range from boats sleeping from 2 to 8 people. These boats feature a choice of steering positions – one on the raised sun-deck and one below, so are ideal for all weather conditions.
Available on the Norfolk Broads, these boats are available in a wide range of sizes sleeping from 2 to 8 people. Forward vision is very good from these craft, which usually feature a single level deck which many parties find more convenient and easy.
Available on the Norfolk Broads and Cambridgeshire waterways, these boats are available in a range of sizes sleeping from 2 to 10 people. The feature of this design is a large sliding canopy over the saloon of the cockpit area.
These boats are available on the Norfolk Broads, River Thames, Cambridgeshire waterways and the Caledonian Canal. They are available in a range of sizes sleeping from 2 to 6 people. A folding roof (similar to the roof of a soft-top car) provides all-weather protection for the cockpit area.
AFT cockpit boats tend to be smaller than other styles, and are a popular choice for first-timers to boating. They are generally easier to manoeuvre, since all of the boat is visible forward from the steering position.
Built to fit the narrow canals which formed the backbone of Britain's transport network in the country's industrial past, narrowboats (or canal boats, as they are often called) owe much of their traditional design and construction to the horse-drawn barges of the period. Narrowboats are available on the canals of England, Wales and Scotland and the rivers Thames and Wey with which they are linked. On the waterways of Europe, narrowboats are available on the Canal du Midi in France and from one base in Holland. Elsewhere in France and Holland, wide beam variants of the narrowboat are available, as are traditional style French barges. French barges and some wide-beam boats feature wheel steering from an outside position on the upper deck rather than the stern tiller which is a feature of all narrowboats (see below).
Narrowboats are available in a wide range of layouts, sleeping up to 12 people, and combine their picturesque style with comfortably appointed interiors with modern facilities. Detailed plans are show for each layout so that you can see exactly how your party will fit in on your chosen boat. Narrowboat sterns have three main "shapes" (see descriptions and illustrations below) and all steer by means of a tiller at the back, or stern. There are also wide beam narrowboats on some waterways, and in France some of these have wheel steering, as do French barges.
Features a small, open rear deck providing space for the operation of the tiller.
The rear deck has more standing area than the traditional stern and sometimes fixed seats in the enclosed stern area, which is an ideal safety feature for young children who can be supervised by their helmsman.
This style of narrowboat has a spacious rear deck area, enclosed by a guard rail.
These boats are styled in a similar traditional way to other narrowboats, but are about 50% wider and so offer more convenient and spacious accommodation.
Houseboats are unique, offering you your own floating holiday home! They offer a completely different type of holiday afloat, since they are permanently moored in a choice of picturesque locations, and most offer day launch hire so you can explore nearby waterside attractions and places of interest.

TUESDAY, Oct. 16 (HealthDay News) -- When it comes to coronary artery disease in the United States, there's good news and bad news.
The good news? Average levels of the worst forms of cholesterol are dropping among U.S. adults.
The bad news? Americans are achieving those better numbers not so much by changing their diet or ramping up their exercise, but largely by taking statins: cholesterol-lowering medications.
A comprehensive look at how Americans are faring in the battle against coronary artery disease shows that over about 22 years, total cholesterol and LDL (low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, often called "bad" cholesterol) have declined. But the percentage of adults taking anti-cholesterol medications has climbed as well.
In addition to looking at the average levels of cholesterol and factors associated with increased risk of heart disease, the researchers noted whether participants were taking statins. They did not note, however, the type of statin taken or the strength of the dose.
Statin drugs include Lipitor (atorvastatin), Lescol (fluvastatin), Pravachol (pravastatin), Crestor (rosuvastatin) and Zocor (simvastatin).
Researchers also wanted a better understanding of whether the risk for heart disease was being affected by progress in drug treatment and health education.
"We are interested in studying total and bad cholesterol because they're risk factors for coronary artery disease," explained Margaret Carroll, a study author and survey statistician with the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, in Hyattsville, Md. "And this study shows the trends are favorable."
The researchers examined the amount of lipids (fats, oils) in the blood of adults between 1988 and 2010, using three cross-sectional U.S. National Health and Nutrition Examination surveys involving nearly 38,000 people combined.
The study was published Oct. 17 in the Journal of the American Medical Association.
During the study period, levels of the two types of cholesterol that contribute to heart and vascular disease, LDL and non-HDL, went down, while HDL -- which contributes to heart health -- rose. The changes were associated with increasing use of lipid-lowering medications and some favorable changes in diet.
Total cholesterol, on average, declined from 206 milligrams per deciliter (mg/dL) in the 1988-1994 survey to 196 mg/dL in the 2007-2010 survey, the investigators found.
The percentage of adults taking lipid-lowering medications climbed from 3.4 percent in the 1988-1994 survey to 15.5 percent in the 2007-2010 survey.
The good news was tempered by the reality of what Americans still need to do to avoid coronary artery disease, said Dr. Gregg Fonarow, a professor of cardiology at the University of California, Los Angeles. "Cholesterol levels are just one measure of heart health," he said. "While cholesterol levels have significantly improved in the U.S. during this 1998-to-2010 time frame, other components of heart health -- such as maintaining a healthy body weight and participating in regular physical exercise -- have not."
Risk factors for coronary artery disease include being overweight or obese, physical inactivity, cigarette smoking, excess alcohol intake and type 2 diabetes.
Dr. Ralph Sacco, president of the American Heart Association and chairman of neurology at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine, sees some signs of progress.
The study authors suggest some dietary changes, such as reductions in consumption of trans fats, have helped. "We are hopeful that some of the increased awareness about diet may be paying off, but we still have quite a long way to go," Sacco said.
The researchers noted that cholesterol levels also dropped among those not taking statins and obese adults of both genders, even after taking into account the possible effects of ethnicity, age and BMI (a measurement based on weight and height).
Coronary artery disease is the leading cause of death in the United States in both men and women. It occurs when the arteries that supply blood to the heart become hardened and narrowed, due to the buildup of cholesterol and other material, called plaque, inside their walls.
Fonarow said it is important to note that "during this study time frame, there were corresponding reductions in heart attack and strokes along with a greater than 25 percent reduction in cardiovascular deaths in the United States."
Fonarow emphasized that we still need to do better. "These data suggest that Americans have improved their cholesterol levels and as a result have improved their heart health. Nevertheless, there are further opportunities to improve lifestyle modification and use of statin medications in eligible men and women with or at risk for cardiovascular disease," he added.

Jerry O'Connell has landed the starring role in NBC's remake of "The Munsters."
"The Defenders" and "Piranha" star has been cast as Herman Munster, the Frankenstein's monster-like patriarch in the reboot of the cult 1960's television sitcom called "Mockingbird Lane." The title comes from the creepy clan's address: 1313 Mockingbird Lane.
While the show's name may have changed, the cast of characters so far remains the same. O'Connell joins previously cast Eddie Izzard (as the quick-witted vampire Grandpa) and Mason Cook (as werewolf son Eddie). The actress cast in the role of Herman's wife Lily has yet to be announced.
U.S. & World
"The Munsters" centered around the fish-out-of-water-family of friendly monsters and ghouls who live amongst everyday Americans and starred Fred Gwynne as Herman and Yvonne De Carlo as Lily. The original series, produced by Universal Studios, aired 70 episodes from 1964 to 1966 on CBS.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, "Pushing Daisies" creator Bryan Fuller is reimagining the new series as a darker, edgier version of the campy original and will explore the origins of Herman, Lily and co. and how they came to live at the Mockingbird Lane address.
"We want this show to be an American 'Harry Potter,'" writer-producer Fuller told E.W. "To have that sense of a magical world that you get to go to with your family and find stories told in a fantastical way that are instantly relatable. It's an 'American Horror Story' the whole family can watch."
The show's pilot script has a subplot about Herman desperately needing a new heart and his quest to find a living donor. "When you come to "The Munsters" and have Herman - who's essentially a zombie in a constant state of decay — and he's married to a woman who doesn't age, there's something very poignant there," added Fuller. "These stories will surprise audiences."

Well, the Ministry isn't the only one with a Krypton-sized crush on "Man of Steel" star Henry Cavill. Apparently, Cavill's costar Amy Adams is dealing with a little fan of her own.
Sitting down for an interview on "Chelsea Lately" last week, Adams, who plays reporter/love interest to Cavill's Superman, said her 3-year-old daughter Aviana had quite a hankering for the leading man too.
"It started when she met him, she liked the look of the 'suit,' so when he turned around ... she goosed him," Adams told Chelsea Handler, demonstrating her daughter's impish behavior.
"You know what Henry said, 'Like mother, like daughter!'"
She added: "He's funny, he's got a good sense of humor."
The actress previously boasted that Cavill, 30, was a comely fit for the role in Zach Snyder's upcoming film, which comes concurrently with the 75th anniversary of the comic book hero.
"It takes a second to adjust, because Henry's just so good-looking," Adams recently told Details of her big-screen costar. "He's dashing with just a hint of danger, and it's kinda great. It's super-hidden. But you know there's a steeliness within him that makes the gentlemanly qualities all the more interesting."
Adams, 38, said that she auditioned twice to be Lois Lane (one film never got made), a pursuit that appeared to stem from her own lifelong thing for the last son of Krypton.
"I think my first crush was Superman as well," she admitted. But it turns out that little infatuation didn't play out on set.
"The good thing is my crushes are still like I'm 5 years old. There's nothing. There's no game. There's nothing ever going to happen."
For anyone rooting for a real-life Lois and Clark matchmaking, you'll be disappointed. Cavill is dating MMA fighter-turned-actress Gina Carano, and Adams has been engaged to Darren Le Gallo since 2008. He's the father of Aviana.
Director Snyder and his co-producer and wife Debbie Snyder also hit "CBS This Morning" on Monday to talk about their modern take on the iconic character.
"We read the script and [screenwriters David Goyer and Christopher Nolan] got at him in a way that I think was so relevant, a way we haven't seen Superman. I think a way that we can really connect to his human side if he has one," Debbie Snyder said.
"I think, that he's more vulnerable. When we find him, he's kind of on this journey of self-discovery and he's lost in the world," she added. "Listen, I don't think you'll ever know what it's like to be able to fly or have heat vision. But if you can relate to he was bullied as a kid, he doesn't know quite where he fits in, those are things you can grasp on to."
As for casting Cavill, Zack Snyder said he really felt like the relatively unknown British actor "got" the role.
"There are lot of great qualities that Henry has. First of all, he's not an entirely ugly person. There's that." Snyder joked. "He kind of has a Superman persona but then he's an amazing actor. But also, what comes naturally to Henry, he comes from a military family. I look at Superman as kind of like, if you want to get in the head of a first responder or something -- it's all volunteer, completely anonymous, he's just there to help, nothing from me, I just want to help if I can -- and I think that Henry, that makes sense to him."
"Man of Steel" flies into theaters faster than a speeding bullet Friday. (Sorry, we couldn't save ourselves from one more Superman pun.)

LOS ANGELES (AP) — With their passports in tow, Iranian-Americans and expatriates trickled into polling sites across the United States on Friday, joining their countrymen half a world away in voting in Iran's presidential election.
By midday in Los Angeles, there was no sign of the line that formed at the same location during Iran's last election in 2009, when record numbers of Iranians voted in 41 locations throughout the U.S.
About 40 people gathered in a Westin hotel conference room, dipped their fingers in ink and voted for a candidate to succeed President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.
As they tossed their paper ballots into a box and grabbed a cookie on their way out, many declined to share their thoughts on Iran's future out of fear of reprisals.
But to vocal expatriates, the act of voting for president was a means of showing their support for democracy in Iran. For some, it was a way to come to terms with the violence and unrest that broke out four years ago.
Golnar K. was a student at the University of Tehran when the Green Movement riots began after Ahmadinejad's re-election. She declined to give her last name because she is barred from going home to Iran. She said her participation in anti-government protests has landed her on government lists that would send her to jail.
On Friday, the Westlake Village woman was dressed head-to-toe in green, the color of 2009's reform movement. She was brought to tears as she recalled her friends' arrests, protesters' deaths at the hands of military police, and what she believes was a rigged election.
Golnar said she voted for the moderate candidate, Hassan Rowhani, alongside her mother and aunt.
"They may cheat again," she said, switching between English and Farsi. "But if I know that my vote even has one-thousandth of an impact and I didn't do anything, I would never forgive myself."
Voters across age groups — and states — echoed her sentiments.
Amir Hossein-Salimi, 31, joined dozens of men and women — some donning the traditional Muslim head covering, and others in the full black burqa revealing only their eyes — lined up at an Islamic school in Houston.
"It would be nice if there was some sort of change in our country, but we want to do it within the rules and regulations, so this is the reason I'm showing up here," said Hossein-Salimi, who moved to Houston nearly three years ago to pursue a Ph.D. in mechanical engineering and now works for an oil and gas company.
U.S. Census figures show about 414,000 Iranians live in the U.S. California has the most, and six of the 20 polling places around the country were located there. Besides the Los Angeles area, San Diego and San Francisco, cities where balloting was held included Philadelphia, Chicago and Washington, D.C.
To cast ballots, voters needed only to show a valid Iranian passport. They had six presidential candidates to choose from: Hassan Rowhani, Mohsen Rezai, Saeed Jalili, Mohammad Gharazi, Mohammad Qalibaf and Ali Akbar Velayati.
Turnout was expected to be lower this year than in 2009. The addresses of polling locations were only announced Thursday, and changes were being made into the evening.
Los Angeles' voters learned of the Westin voting location Friday morning. Some drove more than 40 miles; other sat in L.A.'s notorious traffic for hours. But none of that would have deterred those who did show up to vote.
"The situation in Iran is so hard. We don't want to uproot everything," Golnar K. said. "We just want small changes. We want it so bread doesn't cost 4,000 toman. We want people to be able to eat. It's a simple request."
Contributing to this report were Associated Press videojournalist David R. Martin in New York and AP writers Tamara Lush in Tampa, Fla., Kevin Wang in Milwaukee and Ramit Plushnick-Masti in Houston.

Big reboot news! Warner Bros is busy trying to bring Ryan Gosling and his frequent collaborator, director Nicolas Winding Refn (Bronson, Drive), together for the Logan's Run remake. Which means, this reboot might actually have more than a snowball's chance in hell at being awesome.
Deadline is reporting the news that the indie movie star, Gosling, is ready to make the big jump to a massive studio tent-pole production in Logan's Run, and he's bringing his favorite indie director along with him. If all goes as planned the two will reunite to bring Alex Garland's script (which was finished about a year ago) to life. It should be interesting to see how these two deal with big budget and big studio issues, but fingers crossed something really fresh and exciting comes out of this pairing.
Garland's script is allegedly similar to the original novel. Gosling will play the 5, the Sandman who is charged with hunting down all the futuristic "runners." And going by Gosling's current age, we're assuming that the death age will be upped to 30 in this film version, as it was in the '76 flick for Michael York.

Stephen Colbert isn't flying onto the steps of the Lincoln Memorial on the back of a giant eagle just yet, but thanks to one social media site, he might be a bit closer.
As part of an ongoing effort to convince Stephen Colbert to host a faux political rally at our nation's capital, members of the community-based news site Reddit.com have raised nearly $200,000 for DonorsChoose.org.
Earlier today, the "Comedy Central" host sent a letter to the folks at Reddit thanking the community for their generosity.
U.S. & World
"Despite how silly and nonsexual reddit can be, your true colors show when someone is in need," Colbert wrote in the letter, which was sent with a photo of the comedian attached as proof of authenticity.
DonorsChoose.org funds classroom projects across the United States. So far, the $194,000 donated in Colbert's honor has helped 51,334 students.
"You have inspired me by helping untold thousands of students; with the momentum you've created, we could stage a hundred rallies," he said.
The exchange between Reddit and Colbert began two weeks back when a Reddit user submitted a post asking Colbert to host a mock political event in Washington, D.C. in response to Glenn Beck's "Restoring Honor" rally days earlier.
A website and Facebook group petitioning Colbert to host a "Restoring Truthiness" Rally popped up later that day.
Though this may seem like an anti-conservative movement, in the eyes of the Reddit community it would be better categorized as an anti-absurdity movement.
Referencing members of the Tea Party movement, a line from the initial post suggests that the faux rally would "show them a mirror and hopefully some will realize how ridiculous they actually are."
In a recent New York Magazine article Jon Stewart echoes a view that those involved with Beck's rally are unreasonable.
"Maybe we would do a 'March of the Reasonable,' on a date of no particular significance," Stewart said.
The Colbert Nation was issued a response Sept. 8 when Colbert told his audience that he needed a sign from God, in the form of a flock of geese, before he could host any rally.
On Sept. 14, members of the Colbert Nation released a flock of doves outside of his studio.
His response: "Nation, tonight I am going to announce that I am going to ask you to stop sending me live animals. Please."
The group's next step was to start raising funds. They set a goal of $101,101 by 10/10/10. The group raised $46,983 in just eight hours, smashing their goal in less than 24 hours.
Today's letter by no means contained a definitive answer from Colbert, but he did leave the option open.
"I might just call on you, Redditors - for nothing is more terrifying than tens of thousands of Heroes taking to the streets with the faint odor of bacon wafting behind them," he said. "Except for bears, obviously."
For those who may need help deciphering the number of Reddit-related internet memes packed into Colbert's response, redditor beauh_dave breaks them down in the comments.

Redevelopment prison in Utrecht
|HD Projectrealisatie
|Benjamin Robichon
|project team:
|Lard Joordens
|Wolvenplein, Utrecht
|plot size:
|13.000 m²
|floor area:
|7.800 m²
|start design:
|January 2014
Wolvenplein penal institution is a prison dating back to 1856 in the centre of the Dutch city of Utrecht. In 2000, the prison complex was designated as a listed building. Working in collaboration with HD Projectrealisatie, Knevel Architecten produced a draft design for the redevelopment of the complex for the tender process initiated by the Central Government Real Estate Agency.
The plan is to have apartments at Wolvenplein along with access to the business premises in the centre of the building. At the rear are the hotel rooms, with the restaurant right at the back, looking out over the Stadsbuitengracht and Wittevrouwensingel canals. There is also space for facilities.
The design of the outside spaces is one of the main areas of focus. These outside spaces within the boundary wall provide an ideal venue for outdoor activities – particularly cultural activities, for example – in the centre of the city while at the same time enjoying privacy. The space on the water is made accessible to the public again by means of a wooden terrace around the boundary wall.

This is how you gain and then lose a No. 1 ranking in a span of five days. Illinois's Tyler Griffey's uncontested lay-up at the buzzer sealed a huge win over top-ranked Indiana, a game in which the Hoosiers were up 11 with 6:30 remaining.
It's Illinois's first upset of a No. 1 since 2004, and it came on a play that was ballsy and high-probability. The more motion on an inbounds, the better the chance a defender's going to get tangled up. Nothing fancy. The picket fence. A little bit of Hickory in Champaign.
