'Spidey sense' wins award
Studying ground spiders' hairy bellies earned a Sigma Xi research award for Amanda Tsang, a LaGuardia Community College student.
Tsang and her faculty mentor, Dr. Boris Zakharov, conduct their research at the American Museum of Natural History, home of a large spider collection, reports Community College Daily. "More research into spider setae may help us better understand their evolution," Tsang said.
Tsang earned a bachelor's degree in psychology from the University of Michigan and a master's in public health degree in epidemiology from Columbia University. She's taking prerequisite science courses at LaGuardia to qualify for physician's assistant training.
LaGuardia's "courses are rigorous and I love my professors," she said. "And the research has been an added plus."
Adding job prep creates a 'GED machine'
"LaGuardia Community College is a GED machine," writes Fawn Johnson in The Atlantic. Almost 40 percent of urban students don't finish high school. LaGuardia, in New York City's bureau of Queens, offers prep classes for the state's high school equivalency exam that are linked to job training. One course is designed for would-be health workers, another for business students and another for those aiming for technical jobs.
LaGuardia's free classes, funded by state, city, and foundation grants, have a months-long waiting list. Students willing to pay for courses (at about $3.50 per hour of instruction) can usually get a spot in the next scheduled class, although those fill up, too. Most students are black or Latino.
But a General Educational Development certificate alone won't suffice for people who want to make a decent wage. So, three years ago, LaGuardia began tailoring its GED-prep classes toward certain professions. Reading material for aspiring health pros includes a book about three friends trying to become doctors. Math homework for prospective engineers involves interpreting charts and graphs. These professional-development additions to GED classes were intended to create a smooth transition to college classes or more job training. The community college wound up inheriting a lot of its own successful GED students. Seventeen percent of its college students are from the GED program.
The pass rate is 53 percent for students in the "contextualized curriculum" courses compared to 22 percent in the old test-prep only courses. Furthermore, 24 percent of students who earn their GED certificate through a LaGuardia course now sign up for courses, more than three times the old rate.
'You have ambition, smarts, toughness'
Struggle is educational said Goldman Sachs CEO Lloyd C. Blankfein in a commencement speech at LaGuardia Community College, reports the New York Times."You have the ambition, you have the smarts and you have the toughness," he said.
Mr. Blankfein drew on his own journey – from a housing project in Brooklyn to the top of one of Wall Street's mightiest firms – to offer life advice.
"My struggle to get to and through college turned out to be an advantage for me," Mr. Blankfein said in his speech in the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center in Manhattan. "The disadvantages you have had become part of your personal history and track record, all advantages in your later life. So confidence is justified."
Goldman Sachs, which is trying to improve its public image, works with LaGuardia to train entrepreneurs as part of the firm's 10,000 Small Businesses program.
Blankfein grew up in the East New York section of Brooklyn, where his father sorted mail for the post office and his mother worked as a receptionist. It was a "world of unlimited opportunity," he told the graduates.
James Hazelrig, who earned a degree at Montgomery College in Maryland, had failed in his first try at college, he said in a commencement speech. He worked, married, became a father, bought a home and decided he would not fail again.
It's interesting to me that at 20 I had no responsibility and couldn't manage even a C average, yet at 30, working two part-time jobs while full time parenting, I have found the focus and discipline that allowed me to make the Dean's List five times and maintain a 4.0 GPA for 70 new credits toward an engineering degree. I will receive my Associate of Science today and, in September, I will be attending a top ten nationally ranked aerospace engineering program at the University of Maryland.
"For those of us who have ever struggled during our academic career, today is just a little bit sweeter knowing how far we've come," he said.
Unprepared in the Big Apple
New York City high schools are flooding community colleges with unprepared students, reports the Village Voice. Eighty percent need remedial reading, writing or math — especially math — when they enroll, up from 71 percent a few years ago.
City University of New York's community colleges have doubled spending on remediation in just a decade, to $33 million a year, reports the Voice. "Faculty members have been transformed into de facto high school teachers."
The Voice blames the push to raise graduation rates, but it's also a sign of increased academic ambitions: More high school graduates are enrolling in community college.
Seeing very low success rates for remedial students, CUNY began experimenting in 2007 with other ways to prepare students for college-level courses.
Jahleah Santiago and Ashley Baret, who hated math in high school, are in the START program, an intensive 12-week immersion, at LaGuardia Community College. They spend 15 hours a week in math class.
Nathan Stevens . . . stands at the whiteboard, going over eight homework problems, encouraging all 14 students (average class size is 20) to verbalize their thought processes. . . . "How do you know that you're finished with the factors now?" . . . as the class simplifies polynomials and multiplied exponents: "Put it into words, Manny. Tell me how you got that answer."
. . . "In this program we seek to show what's really happening in the math," Stevens says. "Rather than teaching my students to memorize the formulas, tricks, rules, I try to reinforce the underlying ideas of what they're looking at, with the hope that they could solve any problem they see."
"In my high school, math was kind of under a veil," says Santiago. "You didn't know what was going on—you just do that and that and get the answer. Nathan will break it down and do different examples until we get it."
Sixty to 70 percent of START students reach proficiency in one semester, compared with 20 percent who take regular remedial courses.
CUNY also offers ASAP, a full-year intensive program. It costs more per student plus less per graduate.
. . . of the original cohort who entered ASAP in 2007, 55 percent earned their associates' degree in three years, compared with 24.7 percent of similar students in the broader CUNY campus and just 16 percent of urban community college students nationally. According to an independent study by the Center for Benefit-Cost Studies of Education at Columbia, the graduation rates were so much higher that ASAP cost about 10 percent less per graduate.
If New York City's public schools invested in "small class sizes, mastery-based course design, one additional counselor or adviser for every 25 students," it's likely more students would learn math in middle and high school, instead of struggling to learn it in college, the Voice suggests. That would save money in the long run, but it would be saved by CUNY and by students, not by the K-12 system.
CC trains sign-language interpreters
When deaf students are mainstreamed into regular classes, they need a skilled sign-language interpreter, says Rob Hills, director of the ASL-English Interpretation Program (AEIP) at LaGuardia Community College in New York. With a grant from the U.S. Education Department, the college will train more interpreters to work in school settings.
AEIP applicants need an associate degree, such as LCC's degree in deaf studies and ASL. While in the program, they can earn a bachelor's degree in Educational Studies: ASL-English Interpretation through a partnership with Empire State College.
Few immigrants thrive without English
Few immigrants thrive without learning English, wrote Gail Mellow, president of LaGuardia Community College, in response to a New York Times story, Moving to U.S. and Prospering, Without English.
Yes, a tiny group of immigrants will thrive without learning English, but mastering English is a prerequisite to becoming part of the middle class in today's America. It's why immigrants flock to free or low-cost English language programs that community colleges across the nation offer.
Sadly, the patchwork of private and government money falls far short of meeting demand. Right now at LaGuardia Community College, people hungry to learn English are placed on a waiting list that extends up to two years.
If we want immigrants to prosper, and to advance our democracy, it is a huge mistake to tell those who are desperate to learn English today to take a number and we'll get back to them in a couple of years.
Sadly, many people think immigrants don't want to learn English. That's just not true. Wait lists for English classes are common in California as well. We need more online opportunities to improve English skills.
New GED will test college readiness
The GED is being redesigned "as a step in a journey toward postsecondary training, rather than as an end in itself," reports Education Week. "The new exam, due out in 2014, will have two passing points: the traditional one connoting high school equivalency, and an additional, higher one signaling college and career readiness."
Currently, the GED requires only one short essay. The new version probably will require two longer essays and four short ones in all subject areas. Expert panels will set cutoff scores at the high school equivalency and college readiness level.
"The message is that you're not here just to get a high school equivalency and walk out. You're here to get prepared for careers and educational opportunities that are going to demand that you have even more skill," said Nicole M. Chestang, the executive vice president of the GED Testing Service.
Some 750,000 teens and adults — typically with a 10th-grade education — now take the GED exam, which covers reading, writing, math, science and social studies. However, GED holders don't do as well as high school graduates in the workforce or in higher education.
Some say the test is too easy.
Officials in New York City, for instance, said last December that the passing score reflects only middle-school-level content and skills. The city is helping pilot a new, accelerated GED curriculum and accompanying supports in a subdistrict of alternative schools.
Others say people who pass the GED equal high school graduates in cognitive skills, but resemble dropouts in "soft skills," such as persistence, motivation and ability to work with others.
While GED recipients are more likely to enroll in college than high school dropouts, few earn a certificate or degree.
A 2009 study (pdf) by the ACE followed 1,000 people who took the GED and found that only 307 had enrolled in postsecondary education five years later. Three-quarters dropped out after one semester, and only 17 completed a degree or certificate.
Since 2007, La Guardia Community College in New York has increased the college transition rate dramatically through its GED Bridge to College and Careers (pdf) program. While studying for the GED, students also learn college-level material to prepare for careers in business or health care. In addition, instructors also teach "college knowledge," such as how to apply for financial aid.
Before the bridge program was created, only 35 percent of GED students enrolled in college classes. Last year, 80 percent of bridge graduates went on to certificate or degree programs.
"Making that connection with community college is an essential part of flipping the GED into an aspirational degree," said Gail Mellow, the community college's president.
A high school dropout and Navy veteran, my brother-in-law got into Cal Poly based on his very high GED score. He earned a degree in computer science. But that was a long time ago.
Remedial students flood CUNY
Three-quarters of first-year students at New York City's community colleges need remediation in reading, writing or math, reports the New York Times. In the past five years, the number of "triple low remedial" students who are far behind in all three subjects has doubled. Spending on remediation has doubled in 10 years.
"It takes a lot of our time and energy and money to figure out what to do with all of these students who need remediation," said Alexandra W. Logue, the university's executive vice chancellor and provost. That means less attention is paid to providing a college education to prepared students.
At LaGuardia Community College in Queens, where 40 percent of the math classes are remedial, faculty members like Jerry G. Ianni have been increasingly dividing their time between teaching those classes and teaching courses for academic credit, prompting worries that professors are becoming de facto high school teachers.
"Most students have serious challenges remembering the basic rules of arithmetic," Dr. Ianni said of his remedial math class. "The course is really a refresher, but they aren't ready for a refresher. They need to learn how to learn."
About 65 percent of community college students nationwide need remediation, according to Thomas R. Bailey, director of the Community College Research Center at Teachers College at Columbia University. Math is the biggest roadblock.
Many students are surprised to be placed in remedial classes.
As a freshman at LaGuardia, Angel Payero, 18, took the necessary assessment tests in August and discovered that he was deficient in reading, writing and math.
"Throughout high school, I was a good math student, and to find out that it was my lowest grade of all three was really surprising," said Mr. Payero, who graduated from the High School for Arts, Imagination and Inquiry.
LaGuardia is seeing success with an "immersion" program. Students take only remedial classes for one semester, spending up to 25 hours a week in the classroom, for a flat fee of $75. More than 70 percent of immersion students qualify for college-level classes, compared to 50 percent of traditional remedial students.
Only 23 percent of New York City high school graduates are prepared for college classes in reading and math, according to the state Regents tests.
New York City's public schools are trying to reduce the need for remediation by aligning curricula with CUNY. The city will track how each high school's graduates do in college; starting in 2012, college readiness measures will be included in high school progress reports.
Recession challenges community colleges
The recession has created new challenges for community colleges, writes David Wessel in the Wall Street Journal. Demand for college classes "threatens to outstrip their capacity and funding. And "training students for jobs that don't exist is somewhere between disheartening and counterproductive."
The White House Community Colleges Summit on Oct. 5 is a "consolation prize," he writes.
A year ago, the president proposed pumping $12 billion over 10 years into community colleges as part of his campaign to boost the share of Americans with college degrees above those of all other countries by 2020. Congress instead approved $2 billion over four years for grants to colleges, to be used only for workers who lose jobs to imports, a restriction the White House hopes to undo.
At least, the summit will give the community colleges some respect at a difficult time. Unemployed workers are turning to community colleges for job training at the same time more students are enrolling as a low-cost first step to a four-year degree. It's difficult to meet the needs of diverse students, says James Jacobs, president of Macomb Community College in Michigan.
Without a strong commitment to serving low-income students and money to do so, he warns, "community colleges will find the mission of preserving the middle class will trump the demands of low-income students." Pressure to boost graduation rates—to invest students who will succeed—gives community colleges another reason to avoid focusing on low-income students.
Community colleges are turning into economic-development agents in their communities in order to help create jobs for their students, Wessel writes.
LaGuardia Community College trained 23 small-business owners in a program funded by Goldman Sachs. More than half have hired new staff and improved profitability after going through the program, says college president Gail Mellow in an interview with Wessel. "Without the impact of the recession, I don't think folks would be looking at community colleges in quite this way."
LaGuardia is trying to educate 11 percent more students with a 4.5 percent decrease in funding, says Mellow.
We've cut tutoring, career counseling, computer access in open labs, library hours. We refused to increase class size, because we think that impacts quality of instruction.
. . . We are looking in every way we can to cut costs through use of technology — sometimes even hoping to advance services at the same time. We are piloting an online, interactive career development process that is promising, and looking to build a similar online process for advising. After the initial investment, services should be much better in both areas.
LaGuardia was forced to close registration for new students this year and last, turning away late registrants. That tends to hurt the neediest students, Mellow says.
There is also increasing pressure from my "higher ups" to invest only in those students who will succeed. It's a hard call to make, but wealthier students are a better bet if a campus wants to significantly increase its retention or graduation rate.
"We have to continue to sharpen our game and serve more students more effectively," Mellow concludes.
'Community college' goes global
Community colleges educate 46 percent of U.S. undergraduates, 58 percent of students in Israel, 20 percent in Korea and France, and 26 percent in Japan, reports Inside Higher Ed. The community college concept has gone global.
Rosalind Latiner Raby, co-editor of the book Community College Models (Springer, 2009), looks at community colleges and similar programs in 30 countries. Many are adding the ability to transfer to a four-year college.
LaGuardia Community College worked with the Universidad Central de Chile to create the Community College de Santiago.
In creating the community college, "the board took into account, among other reasons, the great need existing in Chile of preparing students who after a period of two years at the university are prepared to get a job at the level known in Chile as technician," Luis Merino, the Universidad Central's vice rector of academic affairs, explained in an e-mail. "Well-prepared technicians are badly needed in our country."
. . . Students can earn dual degrees, from the Community College de Santiago and LaGuardia, in accounting, business administration, computer technology/telecommunications, computer operations/computer network administration and security, and computer science. When students complete the two-year degree, they can get a job or transfer their credits and continue their studies at the Universidad Central.
"The challenge is really about open access and transfer. Those very new concepts are challenging to develop around the world," said Gail Mellow, LaGuardia's chancellor.
Many countries see community colleges as a way to develop a trained workforce, says John Halder, president of Community Colleges for International Development, a nonprofit association. CCID is working to help establish Gori Community College in the nation of Georgia and helped start the Center for Vocational Education in Madras, which became Madras Community College. In 2009, Indira Gandhi National Open University announced plans to set up 500 new community colleges by 2011.
Houston Community College is helping set up the Community College of Qatar.
Essentially, the community college has contracted with HCC to hire faculty and teach a HCC curriculum in Qatar. "The intent at the end of five years is to withdraw from that contract and they will then take over," said Mary Spangler, HCC's chancellor. In its first year, the Community College of Qatar will offer coursework in English as a Second Language and associate degree programs in math, science, computer science and business.
In the Middle East and North Africa, community colleges are setting up workforce programs, reports Community College Times.
Red Rocks Community College (Colorado), Al-Huson University College and Al-Balqa Applied University (Jordan) will work to expand Jordan's green-collar workforce by establishing an associate degree program in solar energy technology.
Highline Community College (Washington) and Mataria Technical College (Egypt) will leverage the U.S. college's workforce development expertise to create educational pathways at the Egyptian college that will lead to skills jobs.
Gateway Technical College (Wisconsin) and Ecole Superieure de Technologie Oujda (Morocco) will focus on automotive diagnostics training.
Eastern Iowa Community College District and Muscatine Community College (Iowa) and Al Quds College (Jordan) will examine economic empowerment through entrepreneurship.
Community colleges are vital to economic recovery, writes Gene Budig, a College Board advisor,
Both China and India have noticed, with envy, the advancement of community colleges in the U.S., and they are responding with modified two-year replicas. They know what their economic engines will require, and two-year institutes and colleges are part of the mix.
Community colleges have the flexibility to provide training to meet workforce needs, said Ben Bernanke, chairman of the Federal Reserve, at a forum on workforce development.

HTC Sense 3.0 vs Touchwiz 4.0
HTC Sense 3.0 is the latest version of HTC Sense developed by HTC, which was released in April 2011. HTC Sense 3.0 UI is featured in EVO 3D for Sprint and in HTC Sensation. New features in HTC Sense 3.0 include new lock screen, new home screen, several new apps and the HTC Watch. Samsung Touchwiz 4.0 is the latest version of Touchwiz developed by Samsung. Touchwiz 4.0 was introduced on Samsung Galaxy S II. Some of the special features in Touchwiz 4.0 are the Reader Hub and the user friendly web browser.
HTC Sense 3.0
HTC Sense 3.0 is the latest version of HTC sense and it was released on EVO 3D for Sprint. One special feature in HTC Sense 3.0 is the new Lock Screen. While in most devices lock screen is a dead space, which does not provide much utility, HTC Sense 3.0 will change that, by allowing the users to quickly launch their favorite apps directly from the lock screen. Users can also choose 'weather' to show weather, new messages, photos, or other live bits of information. HTC Sense 3.0 also includes a new Home Screen, which includes new attractive features like allowing the user to flip through the home screens in 3D view. Also, most of the widgets like the Weather widget have been redone to include updated animations and new layouts. There are some new apps that are also included in HTC Sense 3.0. For example the email app shows more information such as preview of emails when looking at your inbox, by taking advantage of the increased number of pixels of the screen.
Samsung Touchwiz 4.0
As mentioned earlier, Touchwiz 4.0 is the newest version of Touchwiz, which will be released on Samsung Galaxy S II. Touchwiz 4.0 will provide a very user friendly UI, which does not include hassles present in UIs of many other phones. The web browser is one of the best features in Touchwiz 4.0 that displays full pages giving the user a PC feeling whereas most of the other phones crop the web pages to fit in to the screen. Another special feature in Touchwiz 4.0 is the Reader Hub. With this feature, the user will get access to a large range of books and magazines. This will be useful to users that travel a lot since this removes the requirement for buying and carrying magazines/books while traveling.
Difference between HTC Sense 3.0 and Touchwiz 4.0
HTC Sense 3.0 is the newest version of HTC Sense UI developed by HTC, while Touchwiz 4.0 is the latest version of Touchwiz UI developed by Samsung. HTC Sense 3.0 will be featuring in EVO 3D for Sprint, while Touchwiz 4.0 will be featuring in Samsung Galaxy S II. While HTC Sense 3.0 provides lots of activity with its new Lock Screen feature, Touchwiz 4.0 provides several functionalities like allowing unlocking the phone straight into a message or a call (that needs users' attention) by making the missed calls and unread messages little tabs on the side of the locked screen.

SPOKANE, Wash.--Police patrolled outside Hutton Elementary School Monday due to a deadly shooting nearby on Sunday night.
School officials had extra security on hand on Monday during school hours. Police blocked off an area right across from the school to protect some possible evidence.
School staff wanted to make sure the school day was as normal as possible for students.
The school started at its normal time at 9:00 a.m. on Monday. The school district's community relations director said a few more parents opted to drive their students to school rather than letting them walk to school.
Staff held a special meeting before school to make sure everyone was on the same page.
READ: Police: Deadly S. Spokane shooting was not random
Teachers greeted children and parents as they arrived to school. Parents said they felt comfortable.
"Well actually it was very calm this morning. We heard the news this morning at breakfast so we expected a lot of activity and we were surprised that it was very quiet," said father Eric Phillips.
"Felt pretty good about the police presence and brought my kids in and, so not too worried," said father Rick Roddis.
"Well, we were comfortable based on some of the news reports that we were able to read that there would be an increased police presence in the neighborhood so that was good enough for us," added father Deane Osterman.
The district resource officer was inside the school for the day. The school decided to hold recess indoors on Monday.
Starting on Monday, school was set to get out at 1:00 p.m. all week due to conferences.

do you think this pack has enough room for a 3 day 2 night hike with one other person?
Should you use a tarp with this or is it durable enough to just be out in the open?
If this lanterns output varies slightly (i.e. flickering, etc.),is that normal?
Are these granite gear packs as comfortable as the osprey airspeed suspension system?
I heard that it clangs around alot in your pack, is that true?
This is a great little tent! At first I was going to buy the MSR microziod but ended up exchanging it for this one. Very light wieght but also very spacious; definentally enough room for you and your gear. Worth the extra money!

(FILES) This July 19, 2014 file photo shows US golfer Dustin Johnson as he watches his shot from the 1st tee during his third round, on day three of the 2014 British Open Golf Championship at Royal Liverpool Golf Course in Hoylake, north west England. US golfer Dustin Johnson, who announced July 31, 2014 he was ending his season immediately for personal reasons, is actually serving a six-month PGA Tour suspension after testing positive for cocaine, Golf.com reported on August 1, 2014. The website, citing an unnamed source, said Johnson has failed three drug tests, one for marijuana in 2009 and two for cocaine in 2012 and this year. The report says Johnson was previously suspended for the 2012 positive but the ban was never made public. The PGA Tour's drug test policy does not require any disciplinary actions against players who test positive for recreational drugs be announced. AFP PHOTO / PETER MUHLYPETER MUHLY/AFP/Getty Images

Queer As Folk: The Fourth Season
The compilation of music from Showtime's Queer As Folk: The Fourth Season is, like the show, gay gay gay. Though the songs are all distinct from one another, it's a set of songs that are neither dissonant nor boringly harmonious.
The album opens with Burnside Project's "Cue The Pulse To Begin," a song that seems it must have been written specifically for television; it exudes a feeling of something larger than itself, as though it were meant as part of an action rather than an album. It is a song you could dance to or cook to or chat amongst friends over. As a starter it sets up the compilation's mood: "Just live it," as AbFab's Edie has said.
Though I can't speak to the overall appeal of any single person or group included on the compilation, I can say that every contributor has at least one good song. For those who look to compilations to fill out existing collections, here's the set:
"Cue the Pulse to Begin" Burnside Project
"Attitude" Suede
"I'm The Main Man" Jason Nevins
"Train" Goldfrapp
"Love of the Loveless" Eels
"Scream" Ima Robot
"You Are My Joy" The Reindeer Section
"Understanding The New Violence" The Uncut
"Satellite" TV On The Radio
"If I Were A Man" Andrea Menard
"7 Minutes" Circlesquare
"Sanctuary" Origene
"Strobe's Nanafushi" Kodo
"Wonderful Life" Black
From the shiny electronic sound of "Attitude" to the Drag Queen-ready "If I Were A Man" to the tribal dance beat of "Strobe's Nanafushi," the album is tightly produced. Michael A. Perimutter and Scot McFadyen have created an album well worth having. Particularly if you're as gay as, say, any character from Queer As Folk.

Obama Speaks in Communist Double-Speak
January 23, 2013
Jarring Gibberish
Obama's second inauguration speech consisted largely of platitudes and meaningless double talk to pad out the red meat moonbattery, but even some of his most seemingly nonsensical duckspeak will inspire authoritarians and chill the hearts of Americans. For example,
"Preserving our individual freedoms ultimately requires collective action."
If that means anything, it doesn't mean anything good — especially coming from a guy who has made obvious his extreme hostility to our most fundamental individual liberties: the rights to life, to acquire property, and to defend ourselves.

This dip is fantastic! It is so fresh tasting - great on veggies and chips. We doubled the recipe and it was just enough for a few people. For a party, I may even make 3 or 4 times the recipe.
Creamy Garlic-Herb Dip
CaitInATL Posted: 12/27/10
anitamcclure Posted: 01/22/11
I made this twice and the first time, I followed the recipe exactly. The second time, I accidentally grabbed my cilantro and added it instead of the parsley. I was worried that I had ruined it, but actually I believe it was better with the cilantro. My oops turned out to be a great mistake! I also did grape tomatoes for dipping and those were a hit with it.
Louman Posted: 09/11/11
Creamy, fresh and light with tons of flavor. You will want to make this recipe x4!
Foodie25 Posted: 09/01/11
This is my go to dip recipe. Veggies and dip can be quite boring, but I like to have these as an alternative to calorie heavy appetizers. This dip is so not boring! I'm making it this weekend for our Labor Day BBQ.
crysmys Posted: 12/19/11
Very good. Light, flavorful, not overpowering. Good 'go-to' dip.
MichelleHiggins Posted: 01/03/12
This is an excellent substitute for salad dressing for veggies. Definitely stick with a small clove of garlic - a large one was a bit too strong. Lots of flavor and great creamy texture!
veryslowcook Posted: 11/24/12
A really solid veggie dip. We don't love lemon in our dips, so I used a fraction of the recommended rind.

You really can't go wrong with this.

Along with medical intervention and hearing aids, there are many devices and services available to help improve and support communication in daily life. For example, in 1993, the Americans with Disabilities Act began requiring all telephone companies to provide telecommunications relay services. Other services and devices range from telephone amplifiers to visual alarm systems. New devices are portable and can work with cell phones.
A telecommunication relay service helps persons with a hearing loss or speech impairment communicate with people who have a regular phone, cordless phone, pay phone, or a cell phone. The hearing-impaired person calls another person with the help of a communications assistant (CA). The hearing-impaired person calls using a text telephone (TTY), which the CA then verbally relays to the other caller. The CA then types the person's response back to the TTY caller.
There are two types of telecommunication relay services: voice carry-over (VCO) and hearing carry-over (HCO).
With VCO, the caller speaks directly to the other person, but reads the response typed by the CA.
With HCO, the caller listens to the other caller, but types his or her response.
The CAs are professional; conversations are relayed word for word and are confidential. Telecommunication relay services are free of charge and may be reached by dialing 7-1-1.
Some other assistive communication devices for the hearing- or speech-impaired include:
Telephone devices for the deaf (TDD)
TDDs allow the caller to call another person who has a TDD and type messages that are displayed on a visual screen. TDDs come in a variety of models and can also be used with telecommunication relay services.
Another telephone device, a telecoil, can be used with certain hearing aids. The telecoil, which is a small magnetic coil in the hearing aid, helps improve sound during telephone calls.
Telephone amplifiers
Amplifiers that are portable or built into the receiver of the telephone can help increase the volume for the listener. In addition, for those persons who have difficulty hearing the high-pitched ring of the telephone, the sound can be replaced with a lower tone bell or buzzer, or with a visual alert.
Radio, stereo, and television amplifiers
Instead of turning the radio, stereo, or television up loud, certain devices can connect with hearing aids to directly send the audio signal via a receiver. Whether using headphone devices or wireless devices, these amplifiers allow a hearing-impaired person to listen to radio, stereo, or TV at a comfortable level without interference of background noise.
Signaling devices
Visual signaling devices can alert a hearing-impaired person to auditory signals he or she cannot hear. Visual signaling devices that flash a light can be purchased for telephones, doors, alarms, baby monitors, and more. Other signaling devices include a vibrating option that can awaken the hearing-impaired person.
Captions for the hearing-impaired
Captions are the words displayed on a television screen that follow along with the audio portion of the program. Viewers who are hearing-impaired can read the captions to follow the dialogue and action at the same time. Captions also describe sound effects that are important to the story line.
Captions can be "open" or "closed." Open captions appear on every television set. Closed captions require a set-top decoder or built-in decoder circuitry. Since closed-caption technology is so widely available now, open-caption technology is rarely used.

Well the MS and x1 bashing has been going strong for quite a while and that Alan Wake part made me laugh. On what exactly is he basing the assumption that AW would have done better on the ps3? That ps3 gamers like "that sort" of games? Survival horror? By that "logic" I could go and say that Dust 514 would have fared better on the x360 … but the truth is its just speculation on my part. Btw how about this statement and the notion that Sony cares about gamers, but MS not so much. "The first five million are going to buy it (PS3), whatever it is, even [if] it didn't have games." (David Reeves on the PS3 launch, 2007) The GameSkinny article might be an opinion piece, but is heavily biased and apparent by the way the author talks about either Sony or MS and their respective products. Btw did MS make a lot of mistakes well the RROD worth 2 billion would clearly point to that, but too claim how MS doesn't care about gamers because of Sony willing to take risk although, imo, they weren't really, as the money they were losing affected the whole company and not just the PlayStation division and seeing how many financial problems they head (and according to them aren't over) I'm lead to believe those weren't expect or wanted losses. Btw Here are some more of the claims Sony made and according to the author it's one of the most prominent companies when it comes to "amazing" claims. http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=485754

Articles About Aromatherapy
Aromatherapy and Menopause
Judith Fitzsimmons, Certified Aromatherapist
Dare we say it? Who can we speak to about the first time our period is late and we are driving our youngest child to college and this mixed joyous fear trembles through us, "Dear Lord, let this be menopause," we silently plead. And can we stick our tongues out at the person who says, "A positive mental attitude was the only thing I needed during menopause." Are we not supposed to talk about our more analytical gaze in the mirror, the excessive pampering of our aging facial skin, or the tilting of our neck upward to ward off the sags? And of course not one of us is sweating like a stuffed pig over a pit both night and day.
Well I, on the cusp of this transition, am going to talk about it. I am going to laugh about it. I am going to cry about it. I am going to read books about the physical aspects of it and try natural solutions to minimize the effects. Yes, I will try to keep a positive attitude, but I will not, I promise, gloss over menopause with a few clichés.
Just the Facts
Now that I have torn off the socially acceptable wrapper that covers the topic of menopause, let's look at what's inside. Menopause is a natural part of aging that begins for some women as early as mid- to late-thirties and for blessed others as late as 58 years old. Now, here's the two-sided coin - do you want to discontinue your monthly bleeding frenzy and all of the hormonal, emotional, and physical activities associated with that at an early age or do you hang on to the known for as long as possible? I don't think anyone ever says, "Yeah, I started going through menopause at just the right time for me." But whether you want to go through menopause or not, whether you want to determine the age at which it commences or not, the bottom line is that it is going to happen when it happens.
So what does happen? In one sentence, you experience a gradual reduction of the production of estrogen and progesterone, which are the female hormones that play a key role in shaping the female body. It is amazing to me that what is stated medically in one sentence causes such a tremendous impact on our lives, but it does.
One of the most talked about aspects of menopause is the hot flash. Hot flashes happen when blood vessels dilate and constrict; blood flow increases, your body temperature rises, and your heart pumps faster. End result - you sweat.
What Can We Do?
Hundreds of books have been written about menopause and you will find one or several that are very beneficial to you - so get out there and read. Secondly, talk, talk, and talk some more. While everyone's individual experience with menopause is going to be different, you can learn from the successes and failures that other's had made along this journey.
For everyone, whether you are experiencing menopause or not, the following lifestyle is recommended: Live the right balance between work and play, exercise and relaxation, laughing and crying, praying and touching. For those experiencing menopause, keep a positive attitude, avoid spicy foods and alcohol, drink peppermint tea for its cooling properties; increase calcium-rich foods in your diet, start taking evening primrose, and be sure to incorporate aromatherapy in your daily life.
Essential Oils that Help
For hot flashes, you can use Geranium,
Grapefruit, Lavender, Lemon, Lime, Melissa,
To help cool off, gargle or spritz your body with Peppermint. To realign with your feminity, use Patchouli and Ylang Ylang.
You can make body sprays (12 – 22 drops per cup of water), use the essential oils in your bath (8 – 18 drops), make cool compresses (2 – 5 drops), massage your body (17 – 28 drops per 2 ounces or lotion or 2 tablespoons of oil), or keep essential oils ready to put a drop on a tissue and inhale.
For additional recipes, or to learn more details
about essential oils and aromatherapy, contact Judith Fitzsimmons. As
the owner of Aromatherapy Solutions, a home-based essential oil
business, she is available to make presentations to interested groups.
Judith is also the author of Seasons
of Aromatherapy (known as Aromatherapy
through the Seasons in paperback). This book is a wonderful recipe
book for people entering the world of aromatherapy and for seasoned
users looking for more therapeutic recipes. Contact Judith via her web

TEAMS: Detroit Lions
TEAMS: Detroit Lions
Jason Hanson wanted to keep on kicking. His body told him to stop. The Detroit Lions kicker is retiring after 21 seasons. The 42-year-old Hanson announced his decision Thursday. He said he thought about returning, but problems with his heel prompted him to call it a career. ''It's time,'' Hanson said. ''I gave serious thought and consideration to playing in 2013. While the determination and willpower are still there, the wear and tear on my body, especially the issues I had and still have with my heel, have convinced me that it's time to retire.'' Hanson became the first player to play 300 games with one franchise, finishing with 327. He also set an NFL record last year when he played his 21st season with the same team. Hanson made a record 52 field goals from at least 50 yards. He's third on the career scoring list at 2,150 points and third in field goals with 495. Hanson is the only player with 2,000 points for one franchise. '&...

I have inherited a mill and lathe. As one of my first projects, I'm looking at machining my own upper for a 22LR Ruger pistol, instead of buy a Tactical Solution upper. I have taken apart my 22/45 and looked at all of the cuts I will have to make.
I have bought 1" diameter 6061-T6. I plan on using a barrel liner from Brownells.
Anyone tried to build their own 22LR upper for a Ruger? Do you have any tips other than its easier to buy a TS upper.

Enzo Avitabile Music Life (2012)
The most popular movies among NYTimes.com readers.
1 Readers' Reviews
November 29th, 20133:24 pm
This style of tag along documentary is simply not to everyone's taste. In this film, it sags with a much too long ramble through his home town greeting the people who knew him when. A little editing would serve it well. But the weave of little known ethnic music, instruments and his passion for humanity carries the rest of the film. I give it four stars.

About 96% of Google's revenue comes from advertising. It is an advertising company.True. How much of Apple's revenue is advertising?
They are upholding the T&C that is in the agreementAgreement with who? Between customers and app developers? Between app developers and the play store? Between users and the play store? Who are you talking about?
They announced yesterday that they were killing Google reader.
Google - the world's largest online ad broker - sees no reason to worry about the addition of ad-blocking extensions to its Chrome browser. Online advertisers will ensure their ads aren't too annoying, the company says, and netizens will ultimately realize that online advertising is a good thing.posted by unliteral at 6:47 PM on March 14, 2013 [3 favorites]

Register determined that with respect to newly purchased phones, proponents had not satisfied their burden of showing adverse effects related to a technological protection measure.The conclusion:
However, with respect to "legacy" phones – i.e., used (or perhaps unused) phones previously purchased or otherwise acquired by a consumer – the record pointed to a different conclusion. [...][One reason is that the customer] may have difficulty obtaining unlocking codes from wireless carriers, in part because an older or expired contract might not require the carrier to cooperate.
The Register concluded after a review of the statutory factors that an exemption to the prohibition on circumvention of mobile phone computer programs to permit users to unlock "legacy" phones is both warranted and unlikely to harm the market for such programs.On first reading I found the use of the word "legacy" confusing in that I thought it might only apply to phones that existed before the ruling. However the second paragraph of the first quote seems to me to define legacy as used and/or out of contract phones.
The Google I was passionate about was a technology company that empowered its employees to innovate. The Google I left was an advertising company with a single corporate-mandated focus.posted by alms at 11:05 AM on March 20, 2013 [2 favorites]
Technically I suppose Google has always been an advertising company, but for the better part of the last three years, it didn't feel like one. Google was an ad company only in the sense that a good TV show is an ad company: having great content attracts advertisers.

The West Virginia Republican Party is adding another about-face to its membership.
Delegate Ryan Ferns of Ohio County announced Nov. 25 he is changing his party affiliation from Democrat to Republican. He also plans to seek a state Senate seat and filed pre-candidacy papers to run for the Senate on Monday.
Ferns scheduled two events for his party switch, starting at 11 a.m. at the Wheeling City/County Building and then appearing at 3 p.m. in the House of Delegates.
Ferns said he has always voted for what he thought was best for his district.
"I've always done what I feel is the right thing for my district and the state of West Virginia," he said in a press conference on Monday at the West Virginia State Capitol Building. "I feel there's no other option for me than to switch and join the Republican Party and run for the West Virginia state Senate."
A physical therapist by profession, the West Virginia GOP said they are happy to have an entrepreneur with conservative values on board.
Conrad G. Lucas II, chairman to the West Virginia Republican Party, said they couldn't be happier the rumors were true.
"It's perfect timing," he said. "He's an entrepreneur with conservative values - he's found the right party."
Born in Wheeling, 30-year-old Ferns said he has always stayed close to home and does his business in Marshall County. He attended Wheeling-Jesuit University.
"Many times this meant breaking party lines and voting with Republicans," he said. "My attempts at independent thinking have been met with threats and retaliation by leadership within the Democratic Party.
"I feel some members of that party are more focused on maintaining their own seats and political power than with the well-being of West Virginia."
Ferns was recorded as the only Democrat who voted for House Minority Leader Tim Armstead, R-Kanawha, rather than Speaker Tim Miley, D-Harrison, in June during the special election for House Speaker.
After casting his vote, Ferns tweeted "West Virginia first. Party second."
Ferns later said his vote was not intended to go against his party, but was meant rather as a protest against the special interests that had been trying to influence the speaker vote.
Miley released a statement saying he was "somewhat (though not totally) surprised" at the announcement.
"He was in my office a few weeks ago where he was expressly asked whether he was going to switch political parties, and specifically stated to Delegate Doug Skaff, Majority Leader Harry Keith White and me that he was not going to switch political parties," Miley said. "In fact, he said that while he didn't agree with everything for which the Democratic Party stood, he stated he would never become a Republican for reasons that I should not repeat publicly."
Miley said he was obviously disappointed in Ferns' decision, but that he was wondering if Ferns did it "in order to cash in on the promise of campaign funding that the Republican Party has made to many Democrats."
"In a day and age when there are fewer and fewer principled people in politics, I guess I should not be surprised," Miley said.
Ferns pleaded guilty to a charge of first-offense DUI in April, then announced he would resign his seat in the Legislature, which he never did.
In a May statement, Ferns said he had been "encouraged by many people to continue to seek re-election."
"At the same time, I do not wish to have my personal mistakes be the focus of any election," his statement read. "I truly believe that any such contest should be one about the issues."
Ferns owns The Ryan Ferns Healthplex in Benwood and turns 31 in December. He was first elected to the House of Delegates in 2010 and is vice chairman of the House Banking Committee.
The West Virginia Republican Party issued an email blast Nov. 24, reminding Democrats "disappointed in Obama's War on Coal" to "join us at the polls and on the ballots in 2014."
"In order to be legally qualified to run for legislative offices as a Republican in 2014, any current registered Democrat voter or elected official must change their voter registration with their county clerk or the Secretary of State," West Virginia Republican Party Chairman Conrad Lucas said in a statement.
The party has been collecting a few switched affiliations throughout several months.
Sen. Evan Jenkins, R-Cabell, joined the Republican party in July and former Clarksburg Mayor Margaret Bailey announced she would join the WVGOP and run for House of Delegates in October.
West Virginia Democratic Party Chairman Larry Puccio issued a statement, saying the last election "clearly showed that Ryan Ferns' heart was not in public service when he announced that he would not seek re-election," then reversed that decision.
"This comes as no surprise to me because many Democrats in his district believe that he has been an ineffective delegate," Puccio said. "They feel he would not be successful in getting through the Democratic primary this time. Therefore, it appears Ryan has taken this opportunity as a way out."

I have not been to India for many years, but it appears from your article that women are still not allowed to lead kirtan or bhajans in the temple in Vrndavana (only Prabhupada's samadhi was mentioned) Why are we still giving out the message that women are less than men and their voices should not be heard, when Srila Prabhupada himself encouraged, even pushed, his female disciples to lead kirtan all over India, including Vrndavana?
your servant,

The Green Bay Packers didn't get off to the start they had hoped for in 2012. The Packers are 0-1 after a loss in the season opener to the San Francisco 49ers where the Packers were dominated on both sides of the ball. It was a big statement for the 49ers in the win but the Packers do not seem concerned about the loss.
Packers signal-caller Aaron Rodgers said on the NFL Network that the team has nothing to worry about despite the loss.
"It's one game. It's a new season. We played a good opponent. They beat us," Rodgers said. "We're not worried about that. We're trying to get better every week but there's no panic in the locker room."
Rodgers was asked if the team's veterans tried to gather everyone in the locker room in an effort to regroup.
Rodgers responded, "No, because that would be a freakout. There's no freakout going on. We want to play better. We want to win. It's just one game."
It is still early in the season and the Packers are right by taking the season one game at a time. They do, however, have to be worried about the ease in which the 49ers seemed to beat them.
Green Bay plays their NFC North rivals the Chicago Bears in primetime on Thursday Night Football and a loss could then spark some concern in the locker room. The Packers have high hopes for the 2012 season and falling two games back in the NFC North with an 0-2 start is not a good way to get things rolling.

How to Profit From Inedible Oils and Meats
Arturo is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Stock investors attracted to opportunities in basic food companies can find a position in Darling International (NYSE: DAR)attractive. It's not a food producer but it has thrived for more than a hundred years on recycling the by-products of meat processors and food service establishments.
This company operates in two segments: rendering and bakery feed. The rendering segment not only helps America make use of the estimated 60 billion pounds of inedible by products from processing red meat alone annually, but contributes in reducing use of landfills, incinerators, and the environmental issues associated with these disposal systems.
Broad supply and market bases
The company renders raw materials consisting of beef, pork and poultry by-products collected from meat and poultry processors, butcher shops, grocery stores and food service establishments. Darling International likewise collects cooking oil and trap grease from food service establishments, restaurants and grocery stores.
The company processes these collected materials into bio-fuels. Part of the recycled materials is also sold to buyers in the U.S. and overseas for the production of pet and animal feed and fertilizer, as well as to other bio-fuel makers. Some of the processed materials are likewise supplied to manufacturers of consumer and industrial products, such as leather goods, oleo-chemicals and soaps.
Major JV going onstream
In addition to these rendering and bakery feed segments, a 50–50 joint venture between Darling International and traditional fuel oil refiner Valero Energy's (NYSE: VLO)Diamond Green Diesel (DGD) unit, is set to commission its newly built renewable diesel plant in Norco, Louisiana, in the 2013 second quarter. This plant looms as the largest U.S. renewable diesel recycling refinery for animal fats and greases.
It is estimated that DGD will absorb approximately 11% of the U.S. waste fat and grease supply, in the process producing 137 million gallons of renewable diesel fuel annually. DGD has a daily capacity of about 9,300 barrels of renewable diesel and other co-products, using primarily grease, animal fats and used cooking oil as raw materials. Its advanced pre-treatment and conversion processes are licensed from third parties.
Competing recycler only benefits lawyers
Tyson Foods (NYSE: TSN), one of the largest U.S. meat processors, has a similar JV, Dynamic Fuels, which became operational in October 2010. However, this Tyson partnership with the microcap company Syntroleum (NASDAQ: SYNM) appears to be having lingering birth pains.
Smaller than DGD with its 75-million-gallon annual capacity, Dynamic Fuels posted net operating losses of nearly $40 million during Tyson's 2011–2012 fiscal year. Besides having major technical issues and mechanical difficulties, Dynamic Fuels is threshing out other problems in its technologies which are potentially beneficial only to lawyers. This June, Syntroleum sued Neste Oil Singapore for allegedly violating patents on its process for hydro-cracking biological feedstocks and the hydrocarbons derived from then, Apparently, this is a counter-suit against Neste Oil which filed in May last year a patent infringement suit against Dynamic Fuels' renewable diesel technology.
Where synergies look better
Darling International, on the other hand, seems to have a better handle on its DGD JV with Valero. This venture is a perfect match to its wholly owned subsidiary, Griffin Industries, acquired in end-2011. This unit has been producing bio-diesel since the late 1990s even prior to the U.S. Energy Dept. recognizing this fuel alternative. Notably, Griffin's Butler, KY, flexible-feedstock bio-diesel facility is the longest continuing operation of such kind in the U.S. Griffin is also a supplier of primary feedstock to other bio-diesel producers. Darling International drew $868.2 million or about half of its total 2012 sales of $1.7 billion from Griffin.
The successful integration of Griffin into Darling International was evident in the latter's 2013 first quarter results which were ahead of analysts' forecasts. Its net income for the period rose to $32.4 million, or $0.27 per share, from $28.6 million, or $0.24 per share, a year earlier.Net sales increased year over year to $445.4 million from $387.1 million. Announced May 9, the earnings beat rewarded Darling International shares which posted a 52-week high of $20.10 the day after.
Final take: this partnership will go places
The economic symbiosis that Valero and Darling International established in DGD can bring in additional gains for both partners besides the returns from the joint venture itself. The JV diversifies Valero's fuel source for its customers while Darling International gets an added conduit for the output of its prolific Griffin unit. The renewable diesel it produces can be channeled and distributed through Valero's existing pipeline system and distribution network because this fuel output has the same specs as petroleum diesel.
As a final thought, initiating a position on Valero, which has 16 petroleum refineries in the U.S., Canada, the U.K, and Aruba, has sound merits too. Like Darling International, its latest results beat analysts' consensus estimate. In its most recent quarter, Valero reported $1.18 EPS, ahead of the $0.98 forecast, and revenue of $33.47 billion, above the $30.41 billion market expectation. Currently trading at just around seven times its earnings, Valero likewise looks a bargain in addition to it having secured a robust pipeline on Darling International's lucrative renewable energy business.

I am so happy I found this site — My 2 youngest children ages 5 and 7 are part Native American — as their father is part Native — he was not raised to know about his culture or heritage and has not shown any interest in knowing about it. I am no longer married to him because of DV — I DO want my girls to know about the Native American Culture and their Heritage I do feel this site will help me to be able to teach them some things — BUT PLEASE direct me to more info and sites etc so that I can help my girls learn about their Culture.
Alisha says:
your sight is very un-informational. you should try and research each tribe and describe their different cultures and beliefs. We are not all the same in the sense that we are all native. We all have different traditions dances and beliefs. your web sight is almost disrespectful and seems like a white man made it.

I need help with a dilemma: What does it mean to be American? And Why does it work?
Up-date to thread's scope: (July 10th)
Thanks for all the comments, they have been very helpful.
I have sorted out my feeling on being American, it maybe a jumbled mess but it is working for me. And to avoid rehashing what has been said I'll leave it at that.
But the large diversity of views here, and within America's culture, politics, values, heritages, etc. I have to ask;
Why does it work?
By most standards we are a highly dysfunctional group, and should be a failed society.
But here we are a great nation, and by most logic that should not be the case.
Yes we are the home of the free and the brave, but also home of tyrants, cowards, passive, aggressive, moral and immoral and I could go on and on forever.
Americans are often labeled as racist and intolerant, if that was true we would not have more nationalities and different cultures than any other country in the world.
Being American is a lessen tolerance and that is something we can't experience in heaven, but I feel the lessen goes deeper than that.
Is American where you live, or is American a belief in freedom and liberty for all?
Firstly let me state I believe we are here to learn from experience that we can't have in heaven. And recently I have had two events in my life that have me confused as to the lesion I should be learning from them.
My Background: I'm just an average lower-middleclass Midwest American.
Experience 1: I have been researching my ancestry for about a year now, and I feel pride with my findings. So far my ancestors range from English noble that came to America in 1633, to peasant framer and serving maid from Prussia (Germany) in 1820. No slave owners, only union army soldiers, fought for America in the war for independence, etc.
Experience 2: Many people throughout the world, now are fighting and/or protesting for freedom and libe
Closing Statement from Don Anderson
I just noticed that when I added the up-date at the top it cutoff some at the bottom.
Basically Experience 2 was feeling shame for the current America and how all the founding values gone, and asked how to address the confecting feelings.
I have concluded that I can feel pride for upholding the founding values of America, and as I witness its fail I should feel sadness instead of shame. And find comfort in that like the Roman Empire it values will live on thought out the world, even though it exists in name only.

Jul 24 2013: I believe in Win - Win. I think it is the basis for all trade. Both parties usually benefit otherwise they will not continue to trade. There is more profit in making the other person happy. You can screw people one time or you can mutually profit over the course of a lifetime. Which makes more sense?
Now as to the slave trade; not good. Nor the hard drug trade, big pharma , big food , etc.. Business is not some paradise, but it does allow people from different backgrounds to engage with one another.
Jul 24 2013: Screwing the other guy for as long as possible makes more sense for the one doing the screwing.
Trade is not win-win. It's winner take all based on competitive advantage. It's creates imbalances. You couldn't get half the World starving and the other half overweight without it.
What evidence do you have to the contrary?
