Pregnant singing sensation Shakira and boyfriend soccer star Gerard Pique are asking fans to buy gifts for underprivileged children instead of showering them with items for their first child.
The Colombian entertainer who is also a Goodwill Ambassador for UNICEF has set up a website where fans can spend as little as $5 to buy a mosquito net or $10 for polio vaccines.
"The countdown begins! And we'd like to invite you to participate in our World Baby Shower joining efforts with UNICEF" reads a post accompanied by a picture of the couple on Shakira.com.

Out-of-pocket expenses
|This article needs additional citations for verification. (December 2007)
|Look up out-of-pocket in Wiktionary, the free dictionary.
Out-of-pocket expenses (or out-of-pocket costs) are direct outlays of cash which may be later reimbursed.
In operating a vehicle, gasoline, parking fees and tolls are considered out-of-pocket expenses for the trip. Insurance, oil changes, and interest are not, because the outlay of cash covers expenses accrued over a longer period of time.
The services rendered and other in-kind expenses are not considered out-of-pocket expenses, nor are depreciation of capital goods or depletion.
Organizations often reimburse out-of-pocket expenses incurred on their behalf, especially expenses incurred by employees on their employers' behalf. In the United States, out-of-pocket expenses for such things as charity, medical bills, and education may be deductions on federal income taxes, according to IRS regulations.
To be out of pocket is to have expended personal resources, often unexpectedly or unfairly, at the end of some enterprise.
Health financing[edit]
In the health care financing sector, this represents the share of the expenses that the insured party must pay directly to the health care provider, without a third-party (insurer, or state).
Out-of-pocket costs are high especially when it comes to prescription drugs in the United States. Before investing in a health care plan, it is very useful to examine the out-of-pocket prescription costs as they may be very low or very high. High out-of-pocket costs may correlate with lowered prescription adherence. Medicare Part D is a federal program aimed at lowering prescription drug costs for Medicare beneficiaries. However, after the first year of Medicare Part D, out-pocket drug costs were down, but there was not a noticeable reduction in emergency room visits, hospitilization, or health utility score. Perhaps, some diseases will be more sensitive to Medicare Part D.[1]
Some ways to improve physician knowledge of drug costs were thought to be increased physician-patient communication or higher use of information technology. Physicians with high rates of IT use did not have significantly higher knowledge or drug costs. Health IT design should be improved to make it easier for physicians to access cost information at the point of care.[2]

One of my favorite parts of framing a house is doing the interior-detail pickup framing — elements like arches, barrel vaults, and coffered ceilings. In this article, I'll show a simple method for framing a hipped tray ceiling — a ceiling that looks like the underside of a hip roof except that it's flat on top.
A hipped tray ceiling adds visual interest without a lot of additional framing cost.
It's framed like a hip roof except that it's flat on top.
There's nothing unusual about this shape, but we've gotten the process down to the point where we can lay it out quickly and hand most of the work off to the less experienced carpenters on the crew.
To help newer framers visualize the ceiling, we use roof-framing terminology to describe the pieces. The members running up from the sides of the opening are called "commons" and the ones in the corners are "hips." These "rafters" butt against a lower rim board at the inside face of the soffit and angle up to meet the flat surface at the top of the tray. The flat area is bound by horizontal rim boards that catch the upper ends of the rafters and the tray ceiling joists that span from rim to rim.
The trays we build are small enough that all the framing members except the soffit rim can be made from 2x4s. The soffit rim should be at least as tall as the room's ceiling joists; we often make it from 2x12s.
Sizing rule of thumb. These ceilings typically go in master bedrooms. In rooms of that size, it generally looks good if the commons are about 3 feet long. They could be longer or shorter, but we've found that regardless of the pitch, 3 feet is dramatic enough without overpowering the room. It's also a nice round number to work with.
We also have to determine what slope to use for the sides of the tray. On upper floors, we try to match the pitch of the roof so that the tray rafters near outside walls won't hit the roof rafters or come so close it's hard to insulate.
We calculate our cuts and layout based on the 3-foot common-rafter length. The length of our tray rafters corresponds to the line length of a roof rafter — the distance between the head cut at the top and a line projected up from the plumb cut at the birdsmouth. Because the tray rafters butt to rim boards top and bottom, they don't need birdsmouths; instead, they have plumb cuts at both ends.
The photographs in this story come from a house with an 8/12 pitch roof, so that's the pitch we used for the tray ceiling. We knew the rafters would be 3 feet long, so the only thing we had to calculate was the length of a hip and the run of a common. The easiest way to do these calculations is with a Construction Master. I use a Construction Master Pro Trig Plus III set to round to the nearest 16th inch.
The calculations shown here are based on an 8/12 pitch. With this method, the only other dimensions the framer needs to know are the length of the hip and the run of the common, information that's easy to get from a Construction Master using the following keystrokes.
After entering the pitch (8) and the length of the common (3 feet), the calculator gives us the length of the hip (3 feet 1013/16 inches) and the run of a common (2 feet 515/16 inches). We write both numbers down and put the calculator away; that's it for the math.
Everything else from here on out is a matter of measuring, marking, cutting, and installing.
Rise doesn't matter. If we were framing a roof, we'd want to know the rise of the commons to know how high above the plates to support the ridge while we installed rafters. But with a tray ceiling, the rise matters only if you're installing it in a dropped ceiling and need to fit it beneath the joists.
The ceiling shown here bumped into a large attic space, so we didn't have to worry about its height.
To lay out the commons, we draw a pair of lines 3 feet apart and square across the edge of a 2x4. We then use the Speed Square to mark the two parallel lines, 3 feet apart on the 2x4's face, representing the plumb cuts at each end. We saw through the 2x4 at both lines and use this first common as a pattern to mark the others.
The rafters for a tray ceiling have plumb cuts on both ends. To use a Speed Square to lay out the 8/12 plumb cut on the end of a common, set the pivot point against the edge of the stock and align the number 8 on the "COMMON" scale with the edge of the stock.
Use the same method to lay out the 8/12 plumb cut on the hip, but index off the "HIP-VAL" scale.
To save time, we stack the material for the commons, trace the plumb cuts onto the top piece, and make the cuts with a saw set deep enough to score the cut on the piece below.
We lay out the hips the same way, again with the Speed Square, but using the hip-valley scale this time.
Bevel cuts. The ends of each hip get beveled with a saw set to 45 degrees so that the top will fit between the king commons and the bottom will fit the inside corner of the opening. Using the Speed Square, we mark the hip plumb cut at one end of the hip, then make a second line parallel to the first and 11/2 inches — the thickness of the stock — away. (If the stock were 13/4 inches thick, the second line would be 13/4 inches away.)
We use these lines to guide the saw through the two bevel cuts that will produce the desired 90-degree point. With the saw set to a 45-degree bevel, we cut through the 2x4 at the line closest to the end of the board. Then, without flipping the board, we cut along the inner line (that's 11/2 inches away), bringing the saw in from the other edge.
Here, a carpenter lays out the first set of bevel cuts on a hip by drawing parallel lines at the angle of the plumb cut on the hip. The distance between the lines is equal to the thickness of the stock — in this case, 11/2 inches.
It takes two 45-degree bevel cuts to cut the end of the hip. The first cut is made on the outer line with the blade angled toward the other end of the stock.
The second cut is on the inner line with the blade angled toward the cut end.
The result is a 90-degree point in plan view that will fit the inside corner of the opening or between the king commons where they meet at the upper rim.
The two cuts cross at the center of the stock and give us the diamond-shaped point we're looking for.
Getting the length right. We complete the hip by making a mirror image of this cut at the other end of the stock. The finished piece should be 3 feet 1013/16 inches point to point, so we measure this distance down the edge from the diamond cut we already made.
We make a mark, then use the Speed Square to draw an 8/12 plumb cut at the mark with the hip-valley scale. This new line represents the long point of the diamond cut we want to make.
To lay out the second set of bevel cuts on the hip, the author first marks the calculated length of the hip, measuring from the long point on the other end. A pair of lines 3/4 inch to either side mark the bevel cuts.
Next we draw a second and third line parallel to the first and 3/4 inch to either side of it. The first line is now centered between parallel lines that are 11/2 inches apart. Our first 45-degree bevel cut is along the outer line with the blade angled back in. Our second bevel cut is along the inner line with the blade angled out. The cuts will cross to form a point at the center line, 3 feet 1013/16 inches from the cut at the other end.
The tray has four hips, so we cut three more that are exactly the same as the first. The number of commons will vary with the size of the opening, but they all must be accurately cut because the way we install them leaves no room to fudge.
While a more experienced carpenter is calculating and cutting the hips and commons, I'll have two less-experienced carpenters frame the soffit around the opening in the ceiling. We typically bring the soffit in 24 inches from the edge of the room. We usually know in advance that we're going to install a tray ceiling, so when we roll the joists we use pieces that run partway into the opening and stop. (We use bearing ridges on most of the houses we build, so it doesn't matter that the joists don't reach from plate to plate.)
If we're framing a 24-inch soffit and using a single rim board, we snap a line across the joists 221/2 inches in from the wall and trim the joists back to that line, making sure the cuts are plumb.
The author's crew frames the opening by carefully trimming the joists in a straight line.
Then nailing on a 2x12 rim board.
Rafters will be installed above the line on the rim. On the outside wall, the rim is positioned plumb against the rafters using short nailing blocks.
Lower rim board. Although the joists are usually 2x8s, we use 2x12s for the rim because the added height allows us to install rafters several inches up from the bottom of the opening. This leaves a vertical surface below the slope large enough to install a crown with cove lighting.
If we chose to, we could make the rim the same height as the joists and install the rafters flush to the ceiling.
We start by cutting rims and nailing them (crown side up) onto the ends of the joists. We then install a second pair of rim boards perpendicular to the first, 24 inches out from the walls at the ends of the opening.
We check to make sure the entire opening is plumb, square, and straight. If it's not, the precut hips and commons won't fit properly and it will show in the finished ceiling.
With the soffit framed and the hips and commons cut, it's time to install the rafters. But first we have to mark their layout. We like to install rafters 5 to 7 inches up from the bottom of the opening, so we snap a line at the right height on all four sides.
The hips land at the inside corners and the commons are spaced 24 inches on-center along the rims. But the commons on either side of each hip (the king commons) have to be a specific distance out from the corner, equal to the run of a common — in this case, 2 feet 515/16 inches. This ensures that the hip and king commons converge at the same point.
King commons and hips. Unlike roof rafters, which need immediate support at the ridge, tray ceiling rafters can be installed by toenailing them to the lower rim. They're so short and light that toenails will hold them until we get around to installing the upper rim.
King commons, which flank the hips, are positioned the same distance out from the corner as the run of a common — in this project, 2 feet 515/16 inches.
The rafters install fast because toenailing holds them in place until the upper rim is installed. After the hips are nailed up.
The king commons and hips get nailed together at the top.
Again, this is why we didn't bother to calculate the rise of the commons: If our cuts are accurate and we nail the hips and king commons tight to the rim, all the rafters automatically top out at the same elevation.
We measure out from the corners of the rim and nail the king commons in place. Next, we toenail the hips in the corners. The hips and king commons will converge, and we nail them all together where they meet. (Be careful when positioning these pieces for nailing: If you hold on at the wrong spot, you could easily shoot a nail into your hand.)
Upper rims. Once all the hips are nailed to the king commons, it's time to install the upper rim pieces. There's no need to calculate their lengths; all we have to do is measure from corner to corner where the hips and king commons meet. We cut the pieces from 2x4s and nail them at the corners.
While it's possible to calculate the lengths of the upper rim pieces, the author finds it quicker and easier to install the hips and king commons.
Measure between them.
Then cut the rim pieces to fit.
Once the upper rims are in place, it's a simple matter to install the commons and run ceiling joists across the top.
At this point, the upper rim goes all the way around the opening and is supported at the proper height. Next we install the commons 24 inches on-center between the king commons.
Commons and joists. The only framing left is to install 2x4 ceiling joists between the upper rims. Once more, we install these pieces 24 inches on-center. If there's going to be a light or fan in the tray, we avoid running a joist across the center. There's no need to install hip jacks because the drywall will be able to span from hip to king common without any added support.
A while back I timed how long it took me to frame a tray ceiling by myself. It took about two hours, but I was going all out. If I do the math and make a pattern for the hips and commons, the less experienced guys on our crew can frame a tray ceiling in about three man-hours.
Compared with the value that a tray ceiling adds to a new home, the material cost to frame one is almost negligible. The only things we have to go out of our way to get are the long 2x12s used for the lower rim. None of the 2x4s are very long, so we can usually get them from scrap.

Indianapolis 35, Detroit 33: Andrew Luck hit Donnie Avery with a touchdown pass on the final play of the game, and the Colts pulled out a miracle victory. Bengal fans are no doubt disappointed with this result, as Indianapolis remains one game up on Cincinnati in the loss column in improving to 8-4.
Green Bay 23, Minnesota 14: Aaron Rodgers threw for 286 yards and a touchdown to lead the Packers to the home victory and deal a serious blow to Minnesota's playoff hopes. Adrian Peterson ran for 210 yards, including an 83 yard touchdown scamper.

Buffalo 34, Jacksonville 18: The Bills scored 27 unanswered points en route to a home victory over the Jaguars. Fred Jackson had 109 yards for Buffalo, which improves to 5-7.
Houston 24, Tennessee 10: The Titans turned the ball over a whopping six times in a loss to the Texans. That's enough to embarrass anyone not named Charlie Batch. Jake Locker threw for over 300 yards but was picked off three times, while Matt Schaub threw for two scores to lead Houston.
New York Jets 7, Arizona 6: Rex Ryan had finally seen enough. Mark Sanchez threw three interceptions before being removed for Greg McElroy, who then proceeded to lead the Jets to their only score of the day in what turned out to be a one point victory. Unfortunately for Skip Bayless, Tim Tebow was not active as he recovers from broken ribs.

I love being creative. I love being inspired by the people I work with, what I see in a magazine, on a movie screen or in real life.
I love directing. I also love collaborating. If I'm working with someone who is also creative, I will share ideas as I want them feeling they're part of the creative process. If I'm working with someone who wishes to be clay, I will do my best to mold them into a masterpiece. If you are someone whose ideas are all cliches or want to copy something exactly the way you saw it in a magazine or especially an iconic pose, don't be surprised if you see my eyes roll or my stomach turn. If you would like to be part of the MAGIC, contact me. I want to play.

Best Careers for Work-Life Balance
See how the right education could help you get into one of these flexible careers.
Think work-life balance doesn't exist? Think again.
"Many companies are integrating flexibility into their business strategies," says Sara Sutton Fell, founder and CEO of FlexJobs.com. "Both job seekers and employers are looking out of the box and embracing non-traditional opportunities."
[Click here to find degree programs]
The first step to finding a career that lets you have it all is to figure out what "work-life balance" means to you.
"Some people like to work from home," says Rathin Sinha, President of America's Job Exchange. "Some people like the flexibility to work at night. Some people just want to 'check out' once they're done with work."
Check out the life-balancing benefits that these seven careers have to offer.
Career #1 - Medical Assistant
Medical assistants enjoy set hours, so if you need a career with a predictable schedule, this may be the right career for you. Medical assistants help with administrative and clinical tasks in doctor's offices, including scheduling appointments and recording vital signs. They often work part-time, evenings, or on weekends.
The education: A one-year certificate in medical assisting could prepare you for this position. Another option: earn an associate's degree in medical assisting in two years.
The average earnings: The average annual income of medical assistants is $29,450. The highest 10 percent can average at more than $33,760.*
[Find Medical Assisting programs near you]
Career #2 - Sales Representative
If you want a career that offers real flexibility and great earning potential (and who doesn't!), sales may be right for you. As a sales representative, you may be able to do a lot of your work over the phone and via email. Your hours may be irregular, but you should have the freedom to make your own schedule.
The education: To beef up your business and communication skills, consider taking courses in marketing or communications. You can earn your associate's degree in as little as two years.
The average earnings: Wholesale and manufacturing sales representatives have an average annual income of $61,400 including commissions. The top 10 percent average at more than $106,130 a year.
[Click here to find Marketing/Communications programs]
Career #3 - Teacher
As a work-life balance career, teaching provides a unique kind of flexibility. Teachers work hard during the school year, often planning lessons or grading papers at home. The flip side is that many teachers are free to take the summers off to pursue personal projects or spend time with family.
The education: You will need a bachelor's degree, a teaching certificate, and a license to teach. If you want to teach in a high school, you should major in the subject you plan to teach.
The average earnings: Kindergarten, elementary, middle, and high school teachers have an average income range of $50,380-$55,150. The top 10 percent have an average annual income range of $75,210-$82,000.
[Click here to find Teaching degree programs]
Career #4 - Technical Writer
If you're good with words and want a flexible career, consider becoming a technical writer. As a technical writer, it would be your responsibility to put technical jargon into easy to understand language. As long as you meet deadlines and deliver quality work, your week is almost entirely your own to schedule.
The education Earn your bachelor's degree in communications, journalism, or English. Some technical writing positions may require knowledge in a specialized field like engineering or medicine. You might also want to consider studying web design or computer graphics.
The average earnings: The average annual income for technical writers is $65,610. The highest 10 percent can average at more than $100,000 year.
[Find Marketing/Communications programs]
Career #5 - Administrative Assistant
If you're looking for a full-time career that won't require a lot of overtime, this may be the career for you. As an administrative assistant, you would likely work in a comfortable office setting, handling tasks like scheduling meetings, conducting research, and handling travel arrangements.
The education: One way to prepare for this work-life balance career is to earn a one-year certificate in office administration. Another option is to complete an associate's degree in office administration, which generally takes about two years.
The average earnings: Administrative assistants have an average annual income of $31,060. The top 10 percent average at more than $45,170 a year.
[Find the right Administrative Support program]
Career #6 - Web Designer
Web design is a creative profession that can give you unparalleled freedom to determine your own schedule. Execute well and deliver your projects on deadline, and scheduling the actual work is up to you.
The education An associate's degree in graphic design should prepare you to work as an assistant to a designer. If you want to start as an entry-level designer, look into bachelor's degree programs in graphic design with an emphasis on web design.
The average earnings: The average annual income for graphic designers is $47,820. The highest 10 percent can earn more than $76,450.
[Find Graphic Design programs near you now]
Career #7 - Computer Programmer
Computer programmers can work from almost anywhere and get paid handsomely for updating, modifying, and expanding existing computer programs. If you are detail-oriented and able to meet deadlines, this career might be the solution to help you balance work with the rest of your life.
The education: Many programming positions require a bachelor's degree, but a two-year degree or certificate may be adequate for some positions. Consider earning your degree in computer science, mathematics, or information systems.
The average earnings: Computer programmers have an average annual income of $74,690. The highest 10 percent can earn more than $113,380.

First dress I tried on! I'll agree with everyone else...the pictures do not even begin to do this perfect dress justice! I saw this dress as soon as I walked in and it was the first one I tried on. No other dress after it compared. I am typically really picky so the fact that I went with the first dress I tried on says a lot! I typically wear a 4 or a 6 and went with the 6 since I'm busty. Having a belt with it completed the look. Cannot wait to wear this dress on my wedding day! September 11, 2014
Timeless Elegance This dress is simply amazing. As someone else said in a review the picture doesn't do it justice. You must try this dress on. I normally wear a size 4 in dresses and the 4 fit so perfect I'm only getting the dress hemmed. I tried on maybe 10 dresses and had began to give up hope but this was my dream come true. The alterations manager also told me that this dress is very well made and is a bargain at that price. June 26, 2014
THE Dress I will admit, when it comes to bridal gowns, I am extremely picky. I tried on 15 dresses in the store. Everyone kept telling me I looked great but it just didn't feel right. I saw this dress as soon as I walked in the store and liked it on the mannequin but had my doubts. However, when I put in on there were gasps everywhere. If I were the crying type, I would have cried. Instead, I just knew that it was THE dress for me and didn't want to take it off. Can't wait to marry the man of my dreams in this dress! April 11, 2014
Absolutely stunning! I'm the kind of nightmare shopper who hates the way everything looks on them and gets frustrated quickly. And with my first 4-5 dresses, things were going well, but I was fading quickly. The second my consultant came around the corner holding this dress, I was beaming. When I put it on, I didn't want to change anything about the dress or anything about myself (that's the magical part). I didn't want to ever take it off! This dress is so well designed, it flatters anyone, and I feel like a rock star! The lace is breathtaking, the dress is light and comfortable, and the back is absolutely gorgeous with buttons from top to bottom! I can't wait to wear this on my wedding day!!! March 12, 2014

Winter has a tendency to sneak up on us, especially after such a warm and sunny fall. While you can simply dig a warmer coat out of the closet when the first cold hits, preparing your car for winter takes a little more foresight.
Luckily, getting your car ready for the winter is not an intensive process and you'll save yourself a lot of stress by taking a little time to prepare. Stan Calhoon of Birch Bay's Bay Automotive Repair recommends you take the following steps to help ensure there aren't any surprises when the temperatures drop.
Check fluids. Most importantly check your coolant to make sure you have enough, as you'll be left without heat if you don't. Consult your owner's manual to find the correct blend and type if you need to add more. Most coolant is the regular green antifreeze or Dex-Cool (yellow); both can be purchased either concentrated or premixed. Calhoon says you can't change the type of coolant, so whether you have regular or Dex-Cool, stick with it. It's never a bad idea to keep extra coolant in your trunk in case of emergency, and Calhoon recommends the premixed antifreeze, so you don't have to bother mixing it with water if you're stuck. Also, check that your brake fluid, oil and transmission fluid are at the proper levels. Calhoon said transmission fluid should be bright red. If it's starting to turn brown or dark, both the fluid and filter should be replaced.
Wash and wax your car at a professional car wash. It may seem counterintuitive to get your car nice and shiny for what's often the sloppiest season, but a wash can remove harmful compounds that may cause damage when mixed with sand (or salt if you're traveling out of the area). A coat of wax offers an extra layer of protection from the elements. Professional car washes also use up to 20 percent less water over washing your car at home. They do this by treating and reusing their water, rather than releasing toxic chemicals and grime into the storm drains, which often occurs at home.
Check your tires. Checking to make sure your tires aren't worn and are properly inflated is especially important before winter sets in. Cold air can cause your tires to lose pressure, so be sure to check again once the temperature drops – the recommended tire pressure for your vehicle can be found on the inside of your driver's or passenger's side door. Cracking, presence of wear bars and shallow treads are all indicators that you may need to replace your tires.
Check your wipers. Make sure you have a reservoir full of wiper fluid. Checking the wiper blades for wear and replacing them if needed can prevent visibility headaches once wet weather arrives.
Test your battery. The next time you have the car in for an oil change, ask the mechanic to test your battery to make sure it can provide enough starting power once the temperature plummets.
Get your brakes inspected. While you have your car in, ask for a brake inspection as well, as you'll need them to be in good working order when driving on slick roads.
Pack a winter emergency kit. In addition to stocking your car with a scraper and brush, it's a good idea to include a few provisions in case you get stranded in snowy and cold conditions. Pack extra blankets, hats and gloves, high-energy snacks like granola bars, drinking water and a first-aid kit. Calhoon said to keep a bag of cat litter in your car to help with traction and a collapsible shovel, chains or cables in case you get stuck.
Whether it's snow, ice, fog or freezing rain, winter driving certainly presents its challenges. A few simple preparations before winter hits readies your car for the challenges winter throws your way. And by making winter maintenance an annual ritual, you'll not only help keep you and your family safe, but also prolong the life of your car by preparing it to stand up to the elements.

'J 11. Tuesday, March 5, 1985 Weber State College Vol. 45 No.37 Art to technology Interior Design Shifts Departments by Rae Dawn Olbert Managing Editor The WSC faculty senate approved curriculum changes for various departments on campus in their Feb. 22 meeting. Included in those changes is the Department of Interior Design, which will be moved from the Art Department to the Department of Distributive Technology. The interior design program is a two-year associate degree program. Dr. Dick Rogers, chair of the faculty senate, explained the decision is an administrative one; a proposal from the office of Academic Vice President Dr. Robert Smith. Marie Kotter, assistant vice president of academic affairs, explained that the college completes a "Regent's review" every five years, in which a certain number of programs are reviewed for effectiveness, among other things. Kottor said one criteria the Regents examine is the quantatative progress of the program. She said a program' must have 15 graduates a year or it will be placed on probation, and the interior design program is not meeting this criteria. Smith said if a program on probation cannot show an improvement within a few years, the program will be dropped. Kotter said the change to distributive technology is to "try and help save a program that is on proba- see "Shifts" on page 3. . f :-. ,. " ' ' $ i f w I "1 ? J - ft- .

"It's not a workout if vou don't do it cverv dav," said Oillcy. She said the workout helps reduce stress, makes you feel good about yourself and has built good relationships between campus departments. thl i: J ' Peggy Reimschussel, a graduate student at WSC, works on a sample weave at a loom in the Colctt Art Building. On display in the building are many in- Signposl pholoMatthew Brown tcresting works of art and science, both by WSC students and professional artists. Students and faculty arc welcome to stop by and observe the displays. Asbestos-Minor Concern In WSC Buildings by Kim Cooley Staff Reporter Asbestos has become a dirty word during the past decade. But, according to Ralph Wertz, WSC director of occupational health and safety, it doesn't have to be that way. He said, "Right now, you mention the word asbestos and everyone is scared to death because they don't know what it is, what it will do, or how long it will take to do bodily injury." Asbestos materials are often used for fireproofing, thermal and accoustical insulation or decoration in building construction and renovation. They are usually found on overhead surfaces, steel beams, ceilings, walls and pipes. According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), there are six types of asbestos; chrysotile, amosite, crocidolite, anthophyllite, tremolite and ac-tinolite. The EPA says any level of exposure to asbestos involves some health risk. If exposed to asbestos, children and young adults have a greater chance than older people of developing certain asbestos-related diseases, as they have a longer lifespan during which the diseases may develop. Sometimes it may take from 20 to 40 years for the effects of asbestos exposure to develop. Diseases that may result from exposure to asbestos include various forms of cancer and asbeslosis. These diseases are caused by the retention of asbestos fibers in the lungs. Asbestosis is a disease of the lungs characterized by breathlessness and coughing. It is not usually fatal. However, complications resulting from it can cause death. People who contract the disease are advised to remove themselves from asbestos exposure and, due to breathlessness, are often severly limited in what they can and cannot do. Asbestos-related diseases have also been found in people whose only known exposure to asbestos was from living with an asbestos worker or living in the neighborhood of asbestos mines, mills or processing facilities. Asbestos workers who smoke increase their chances by 50 percent of developing an asbestos-related disease. Friable material is an important asbestos-related term. It is material that can be crumbled or pulverized; reduced to powder in the hand. It may be material containing asbestos or some type of fiber. Friable material is more likely to become airborne and therefore, more easily inhaled. According to Wertz, the concern with asbestos in schools began in 1976 on the East Coast. Schools were asked to identify and notify parents when asbestos was found in the classrooms. After the effects of asbestos exposure became better known, the problem received more publicity and measures were taken to eliminate or reduce student's exposure to it. The University of Utah has begun an identification and control procedure for asbestos on campus. As WSC works closely with their safety program, Wertz decided to conduct a similar study of this campus. see "Concern" on page 3

|Weber's current student newspaper, the Signpost, first appeared on September 29, 1937. For two years prior to that time, campus news was disseminated via announcements posted on a bulletin board known as the "Signpost". As a result, the masthead of the first issue of the paper itself featured a rudimentary wooden sign with the title spelled out in rustic-looking letters. Over the years the paper has been published continuously, though the look, size and style has changed several times.

Antioch dad, daughter die in 'shocking tragedy' as plane crashes
BY FRANK ABDERHOLDEN firstname.lastname@example.com November 19, 2012 6:12PM
Antioch Community High School principal John Whitehurst talks about freshman student, Nicole Parfitt, 14, who died in a plane crash with her father, Todd Parfitt, 50, of Antioch in Burlington, Wisconsin on Sunday, November 18, 2012. | Thomas Delany Jr.~Sun-Times Media

Updated: November 19, 2012 6:17PM
For many of 14-year-old Nicole Parfitt's classmates at Antioch High School, Monday was a day to wear purple to honor their friend after she died in a plane crash with her father.
She was flying in a 1972 fixed-wing, single-engine AA-1B Grumman with her father, Todd, 50, of unincorporated Antioch on Sunday afternoon. He was attempting a landing just before 1:30 p.m., when the plane crashed in a cornfield just west of Burlington Municipal Airport, near the Walworth and Racine county line in Wisconsin.
"We are devastated and saddened beyond words over the loss of a loving and dedicated husband and father, Todd, and a beautiful and endearing 14-year-old girl who was loved by all who know her, Nicole," said a family statement Monday from Robin Parfitt, wife of Todd and Nicole's mother. "We ask for your prayers and that you respect our family's need for privacy at this time of great sorrow."
Investigators from the National Transportation Safety Board were at the airport Monday trying to determine the cause of the crash.
Todd Parfitt's aircraft was certified in August 2002 and family members said Monday that he flew often and was known for taking a day trip on a nice day or flying to lunch. He was a United Airlines dispatcher for 15 years and was an experienced flier. He was also a veteran who served in the Air Force, but not as a pilot.
Nicole had tweeted friends on a social media site Sunday with the message "Day with Dad" and a heart-shaped emoticon. She was a freshman at the high school and had made the dance team.
"She was a talented and dedicated dancer," said Principal John Whitehurst. "She was easy to get along with and had a real sweet temperament. It's a shocking tragedy for the whole school.
"Most of the kids already knew about her death. A lot of the kids wore purple today to honor Nicole," because that is her class' color, he said.
Her dance teammates were taken aside with coaches and a psychologist Monday to talk through the tragedy. A grief counselor also went to all her classes Monday in case anyone had any questions or wanted to talk.
To make the dance team freshman year was also a big accomplishment.
"As a freshman, that's quite an honor to get on it," said Whitehurst. "She was very talented."
The dance team competes in competitions with three different dances and they also perform at halftime at high school football and basketball games.
Besides Robin Parfitt, the father and daughter are survived by son and brother, Bradley, 11, who attends middle school in Antioch.
"They may have not made it to the runway that they intended, but they did land safely in heaven," read one of the posts on a Facebook tribute page called R.I.P. Nicole Parfitt. The page had 2,449 "Likes" as of Monday afternoon. There is also a You Tube tribute in her name.

City of Champion!
So that's what pride in the hockey franchise feels like.
I kinda like it.
Congrats to the oil kings!
Excellent news!
Let's hope the Barons follow it up.
Good luck in Quebec for the mem cup!
Don Cherry HATES it being callled MEM CUP!!!!! SO IT'S OFF TO THE MEM CUP!!
Here comes the Charlie Coyle, Zack Phillips, Tomas Jurco, Stanislav Galiev and Jonathan Huberdeau show.
Good to see the marketing arm of the Oil Kings do another horrible job. The shelves were thin the past 2 weeks for logo wear. No new jerseys, so I couldn't get an XL size. No championship hats after the game today either.
Great game, great win for the Oil Kings. Mem Cup bound – sounds awesome !
I liked Reinhart although he was not that physical.
Pelss has serious wheels
The Oil Kings general played with a lot of composure and the early goal settled them nicely
the 2-0 goal came with 17 seconds left in the first
The Oilkings outshot and out chanced Portland throughout the game although Portland were definately dangerous.
I heard someone mention that portland might be worn down for a game 7 and I think that might be accurate
It was a fun day.
I thought that first period was an amazing display. Kids, playing that well, that disciplined. Mistakes, sure, but not very damn many. Good coach there.
Here comes the Charlie Coyle, Zack Phillips, Tomas Jurco, Stanislav Galiev and Jonathan Huberdeau show.
Debbie downer strikes again.
WHL champions in 5th year. Impressive. Next year most of the guys returning, and will be 19 year olds.
Edmonton rush also in the NLL final next week.
So the 6 year rebuild can be done in 5!?!
Looks like T.J. Foster had a Gordie Howe hat trick last night. Way to go kid.
They'll need to play that way vs the Ice Dogs. They'll be severely tested.

I arrived at the Wild Mind Film Camp on a late summer night in July. It was too late and too dark to notice the idyllic beauty of the small town called Twisp, WA. But one thing I could see quite clearly was the 25-foot cross that stood atop one of Twisp's many mountains. It was lit up with enormous white bulbs, and was visible for several miles in any direction. After asking around, I found out that the cross has been a source of controversy for many years. On one side, the people who have lived there for decades look at it as a comforting symbol of their faith. On the other side, the "new world settlers" feel it doesn't represent their beliefs, and they don't think it's fair that they are subject to its heavy symbolism day after day.
A simple icon in a town of less than 1000 people that stirs up so many different emotions...in other words, the perfect topic for my short film assignment.
All in all, it took about 10 days to complete. Hope you enjoy it.Directing, Film2012

Former BP CEO Warns "Sanctions Will Bite West" As US Gives Majors 14 Days To Wind Down Russian ActivitiesSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 09/14/2014 16:04 -0400
while sanctions until this moment had been largely intended to specifically allow energy companies to continue their status quo in Russia, as of this Friday, it is precisely the E&Ps that are being targeted, as we noted on Friday, and as Reuters follows up today, reporting that some of the world's largest companies, namely Exxon, Anglo-Dutch Royal Dutch Shell, Norway's Statoil and Italian ENI, will have to be put their Russian projects on hold: to wit, the companies will have 14 days to wind-down activities. And yet Russia may once again have the last laugh: enter Tony Hayward, the infamous former CEO of BP (and current Chairman of Glencore) who may have been disgraced by his handling of the Macondo spill but his comments on how the Russian sanctions will play out, are spot on. As the FT reported moments ago, "US and EU sanctions against Moscow are in danger of turning round and biting the west by constraining global oil supply and pushing up prices in coming years, the former chief executive of BP has warned."

On The Cliff At The Edge Of The "Permanently High Plateau"Submitted by Tyler Durden on 09/14/2014 15:14 -0400
The uncorrected half-cycle advance since 2009 has been accompanied by a resurgence of proponents advocating that stocks should simply be bought and held indefinitely, regardless of price. As Graham & Dodd warned, "it is important to note that mass speculation can flourish only in such an atmosphere of illogic and unreality." The over-arching reality is that there is a cliff at the edge of what appears to be a permanently high plateau.

"World War III May Have Already Begun", Pope Francis WarnsSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 09/14/2014 14:13 -0400
While we doubt the pope is much of a trader, based on his latest comments, speaking during a visit to Italy's largest military cemetery, where he was commemorating the centenary of World War I and where he said that a "piecemeal" World War III may have already begun, we assume he too would join the confusion of the BIS and every other carbon-based life form, wondering how it is possible that risk assets are at all time highs which the world is not only teetering on the edge of a new global conflict but may have already in fact entered it. Oh wait, the central banks, never mind.

"Low Volatility Everywhere" - BIS Sounds Alarm Alert On Pervasive Complacency Masking Systemic ShocksSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 09/14/2014 12:14 -0400
"After the spell of volatility in early August, the search for yield – a dominant theme in financial markets since mid-2012 – returned in full force. Volatility fell back to exceptional lows across virtually all asset classes, and risk premia remained compressed. By fostering risk-taking and the search for yield, accommodative monetary policies thus continued to support elevated asset price valuations and exceptionally subdued volatility."

The American Public: A Tough Soldier Or A Chicken Hawk Cowering In A Cubicle?Submitted by Tyler Durden on 09/14/2014 11:31 -0400
For a mass of people so easily terrified by guys in caves funded and armed by our intelligence services and "allies" in the Persian Gulf, the American public talks with such armchair bravado when it comes to launching bombs from drones and sending other people's children to die. Makes you wonder though, which one is it? Is the American public actually the tough guy soldier it pretends to be when cheering overseas military interventions, or is it really a scared, propagandized, coward hiding in one of our nation's endless cubicle rows? Unfortunately, based on recent opinion polls demonstrating approval for military action against ISIS, it appears to be the latter. The former is merely a front put on by that terrified, economically insecure, silently suffering automaton.

UK's Cameron Warns Scots "No Way Back" As Independence Vote Remains Too Close To CallSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 09/14/2014 10:43 -0400
With polls and surveys showing a slight bias to a "No" vote for Scottish Independence - but realistically too close to call - it appears UK Prime Minister Cameron has once again flip-flopped his strategy to deal with the northern menace. Initially it was one of scaremongery, warning of Scottish safety in light of global terrorism; then Cameron softened his stance proclaiming how "heartbroken" he will be if "our family was ripped apart." Now, just a day later, according to The Sunday Times, Cameron will unveil his latest push tomorrow that "there will be no way back" if they vote for independence, warning that a split from the U.K. will see the two countries go their separate ways forever, with the vote result a "once-and-for-all decision." Media bias is increasingly evident as the establishment unleashes its last minute full court press promising Scots "can have the best of both worlds." if they back the union...

Art Cashin: "Things Could Theoretically Turn Into What I Call A Lehman Moment"Submitted by Tyler Durden on 09/13/2014 21:23 -0400
Q. What are traders talking about at the present time here at the New York Stock Exchange?
Cashin: We are concerned about two questions. First, how will the Fed do in keeping money reasonably easy without causing inflation? Second, where do we stand with the current geopolitical challenges? For now, these challenges seem to be short term concerns. But should we begin to see a financial contagion and pressure building on banks in Europe, perhaps out of the Ukraine situation, things could theoretically turn into what I call a «Lehman moment». That is when markets come under pressure but seem to be under control, and then things change suddenly.

The Fed Has A Big Surprise Waiting For YouSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 09/13/2014 21:21 -0400
The US economy is dead. The Fed has known this for a long time, but pumped it up to where it is now to draw in all the greater fools, the so-called big investors who have made money like honey from QE and ZIRP. They are the greater fools. The American real economy ceased being a consideration long ago. We're in for big surprises, and they won't be pretty, they'll be pretty nasty. There are far too many people who think of themselves as smart who don't see the difference between a theater play and a reality show. The Fed will raise rates because that will make the biggest banks the most money. There's nothing else that matters. The Fed can't revive the US economy, that's just a foolish notion. But it can suck a lot of wealth out of it.

"Moderate" Syrian Rebels Sign Non-Aggression Pact With ISIS; Iraq Defies USSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 09/13/2014 20:17 -0400
First it was the 'broad coalition' that appeared a little narrower than President Obama explained to the world last week. Today, 2 more crucial aspects of the 'strategy' appear to be faltering. Despite the promise of $500 million to train "moderate" Syrian terrorist/rebels to fight ISIS, GlobalPost reports Syrian rebels and jihadists from the Islamic State have agreed a non-aggression pact for the first time. Under the deal, "the two parties will respect a truce until a final solution is found and they promise not to attack each other because they consider the principal enemy to be the Nussayri regime." Not exactly what Obama and Kerry had in mind. But it is John Kerry's trip to Iraq that appears to have had blowback already as Reuters reports the newly installed US-friendly PM al-Adadi ordered his air force to halt strikes on civilian areas, "even in those towns controlled by ISIS," just a day after Kerry's visit (which left Turkey explaining how it would not support US airstrikes either). So far, so good?!

British Prime Minister David Cameron has called this "an act of pure evil," and will hold a cabinet meeting on the matter tomorrow, promising "to hunt down these murderers."

When it comes to the poorest quartile of US society, some 14 million people, any suggestion that US society is deleveraging and setting the stage for pent up releveraging and thus, economic growth, is dead wrong. In fact, as the Fed's triennial Survey of Consumer Finances, released last week showed, America's poorest have never been more in debt!

"We ordered a sample with the blue trees and red writing. We liked it, but decided to order our invites with the brown writing. It looks so much better that way! We are having a winter wedding, so we thought the blue tree looks like it was covered in ice and the brown is more natural looking than the red writing."
"The cards were absolutely gorgeous! My fiancée & I are having a fall wedding in a garden & this added just the right element I was looking for in my invitations."
"We love our invitations. When got to choose so many details on the invitation for our small mountain wedding. Even after we ordered, we were sent a few different prototypes to choose from based on a review from Wedding Paper Divas. We chose the blue invitations with brown font and brown in the aspen trees. We changed the font to a more whimsical one as well. When we received them, we loved them. I can't wait to send them to our guests. My only complaint was that we paid for expedited shipping but did not receive them during the timeline posted."
"I personalized the color, fonts and wording. This template let me choose a design and I was able to customize everything else. LOVE the shimmer paper. Makes it look more formal, and elegant."
"I just reccieved my invitations in the mail today and I could not be happier with how they turned out! I love love love them! Brides, look no further. Wedding Paper Divas is the answer!"

GM: Pirates uncertain about Karstens' future ... READ MORE:
I just asked Neal Huntington about the status of Jeff Karstens, who is arbitration-eligible but no apparent lock to be tendered. Huntington's reply: "Jeff's a guy who gives you everything he has every time he takes the baseball. You'd love to have 1,000 with the mentality that he brings. He's a leader. He gets the most out of his abilities. Unfortunately, at times, his body lets him down. As we do with every player, we've got to do a thorough analysis and explore the fit on the team going forward, explore the role and how he fits in the big picture." Karstens, 30, had a 4.01 ERA in 15 starts.
