Francisco will be a rewarding experience for all involved.
The University of San Francisco was established as San
Francisco's first institution of higher education by Jesuit priests in
October 1855. The original college, known as St. Ignatius Academy, was
located in a simple frame building 75 feet long by 35 feet wide at 5th
and Market streets, the site of one of San Francisco's largest
department stores today. The Academy opened its doors as a "Jesuit
college for the youth of the city" under the guidance of Father Anthony
Maraschi, S.J., founder and first President.
Four years later, on April 30, 1859, the State of California issued a
charter under the title of "Saint Ignatius College," empowering the
College to confer degrees "with such literary honors as are granted by
any university in the United States." The curriculum included courses in
Greek, Spanish, Latin, English, French, Algebra and Arithmetic.
In 1862, a new building for the College was constructed on the
same site, on Market Street, between Fourth and Fifth. The 1862 catalog
stated the purpose of St. Ignatius College as the "giving of a thorough
classical, mathematical and philosophical education." In June 1863, the
first bachelor of arts degree was conferred.
In 1880, the College moved to new buildings which had been
erected on Van Ness Avenue near the site of the Civic Center, the
current location of the Louise M. Davies Symphony Hall. Twenty-six years
later, the 1906 San Francisco fire and earthquake destroyed the
institution and all its laboratories, libraries, and art treasures. The
College was relocated to temporary quarters at Hayes and Shrader streets
within the year.
In 1909, the Ignatian Heights property was acquired at Fulton
Street and Parker Avenue, the current location of the University campus.
In 1914, the development of the new campus began.
In 1930, on the occasion of the Diamond Jubilee, and at the
request of civic, professional and industrial leaders of San Francisco,
St. Ignatius College became the University of San Francisco.
Since 1931, the University of San Francisco has grown with the
city whose name it bears. Today, USF, with its 55 acres, is San
Francisco's largest independent university campus. The coeducational
student body represents all geographic sections of the United States and
over 80 countries. Although USF retains its rich Catholic heritage, its
students and faculty are from all religious backgrounds.
The Jesuit traditions of scholarship and dedication to a liberal
education are the foundation for all academic programs at USF.
The Jesuits continue their commitment to the University they
founded and are joined in that commitment by other religious and lay
faculty. The University's humanistic tradition views the individual mind
and spirit as its most valuable resources.
Back to Top
The University of San Francisco will be internationally
recognized as a premier Jesuit Catholic, urban University with a global
perspective that educates leaders who will fashion a more humane and
just world.
The core mission of the University is to promote learning in
the Jesuit Catholic tradition. The University
offers undergraduate, graduate and professional students the knowledge
and skills needed to succeed as persons and professionals, and the
values and sensitivity necessary to be men and women for others.
The University will distinguish itself as a diverse, socially
responsible learning community of high quality scholarship and academic
rigor sustained by a faith that does justice. The University will draw
from the cultural, intellectual and economic resources of the San
Francisco Bay Area and its location on the Pacific Rim to enrich and
strengthen its educational programs.
The University's core values include a belief in and a
commitment to advancing:
The Jesuit Catholic tradition that views faith and reason as
complementary resources in the search for truth and authentic human
development, and that welcomes persons of all faiths or no religious
beliefs as fully contributing partners to the University
The freedom and the responsibility to pursue truth and follow
evidence to its conclusion
Learning as a humanizing, social activity rather than a
competitive exercise
A common good that transcends the interests of particular
individuals or groups; and reasoned discourse rather than coercion as
the norm for decision making
Diversity of perspectives, experiences and traditions as
essential components of a quality education in our global context
Excellence as the standard for teaching, scholarship,
creative expression and service to the University community
Social responsibility in fulfilling the University's mission
to create, communicate and apply knowledge to a world shared by all
people and held in trust for future generations
The moral dimension of every significant human choice: taking
seriously how and who we choose to be in the world
The full, integral development of each person and all
persons, with the belief that no individual or group may rightfully
prosper at the expense of others
10. A culture of
service that respects and promotes the dignity of every person.
has been observed that although America is a multicultural society "it
is not yet a pluralistic society -- a place where all racial and
cultural groups share equal access to opportunities for quality lives
and power over their own lives." Education and educational institutions
are one vehicle for mediating the full benefits of a multicultural
Multiculturalism is rapidly becoming a way of life in the city of San
Francisco, our state and our nation. As
such, multiculturalism is viewed as a strength and a resource in our
rapidly changing urban environment. It is obvious that the USF community
is aware of the richness that comes from the multiculturalism evidenced
in our urbanscape and in our student population. And indeed we
celebrate that richness. At the same time, as a campus community, we
must continue to learn how to tap the rich vein of cultural, ethnic,
racial, and gender diversity to improve education for all at USF.
The Mission Statement of USF clearly states that we strive to
"create a campus-wide environment which values each individual,
heightens ethical standards, instills a passion for justice, and
integrates faith with life...To prepare men and women to shape a
multicultural world with creativity, generosity, and compassion."
This sentiment flows directly from the Society of Jesus'
commitment to the "service of faith in the promotion of justice" as well
as the Jesuits' centuries-old commitment to educate amidst cultural
diversity and across all national borders. Inculturation, the
appreciation and appropriation of different cultural patterns, has
always been a part of the Jesuit view of the world.
The University of San Francisco affirms its intentions and
efforts to enhance the minority representation among its faculty, staff,
and student populations.
"Multiculturalism" and "Diversity" are concepts that should become
recognized strengths of this University which is presently recognized as
being "Catholic, Jesuit and Urban." There is a natural affinity and
compatibility in all of these attributes.
It is our intention that our focusing on multiculturalism will
equally address the issues of diversity and at the same time acknowledge
our abundant resources in the city, our international students and the
foreign study programs already in place at USF. Multiculturalism is the
future. We as a university community cannot be complacent, disinterested
or uninformed about the need for enhancing our institutional commitment
to multiculturalism in all facets of university life.

Rated 4 out of 5�by Soccer player Awesome shock absorption for soccer Replaced my cleat's old original insoles with these, and my heel no longer hurts after a game. My ankle and knees are also much much better after a game too! The only thing is that these insoles are thicker, so my cleats are a little too tight. It would be better if my cleats were half a size bigger. September 10, 2012

Almost 30 YEARS AGO. . .
1981 Kellyco Test Team Members with TEKNETICS Engineers were the first to test the new Teknetics metal detectors with features that created a new standard for deep detecting.
In January of 1981, TEKNETICS, INC. was founded by a small dedicated group of engineers in Oregon, U.S.A. Their goal was to provide the finest quality and best performing metal detectors available anywhere in the U.S. and throughout the world.
Since "MORE DEPTH" and "MORE DISCRIMINATION" have always been the most asked for features by metal detector users, Teknetics engineers concentrated on making exciting advances in these features. In fact if you have been using any of the major features such as, VLF, T.R. DISC, MOTION DISCRIMINATE (some times called VLF/DISC.), DEPTH READING OR TARGET IDENTIFICATION, then you have been using features that were pioneered and invented by Teknetics engineers.
While it's not necessarily important how long a company has been in business, but rather how much EXPERIENCE the engineers who are designing the detectors for you have. Teknetics ENGINEERS at that time, had MORE THAN 25 YEARS OF METAL DETECTOR EXPERIENCE, unheard of 25 years ago.
TEKNETICS takes metal detecting to the next power level with features that everyone has asked for in one outstanding metal detector. Teknetics promised to use our years of metal detector experience to continue to bring you the latest innovations that provide the MOST DEPTH and the MOST DISCRIMINATION possible. The TEKNETICS T2, Alpha, Gamma, and Omega are the metal detectors you have asked for, and once again TEKNETICS has delivered.
If you find a price you think is lower or better than KELLYCO's Price, just let us know. We will almost always MEET or BEAT ANY PRICE! Click here for more info

I was vertical mig welding yesterday on a trailer in my shop wearing a t-shirt, short leather gloves, and a pair of Miller Welding Sleeves - (INDURA® Cotton & Pigskin Leather), and a ball of molten slag landed on the cuff area that appears to be polyester. The result was a painful arm trashing and yelling. As you can see in the photos, the blob danced around a minute inside the cuff before I could remove it. I know I should have used longer welding gloves, but it was hot at the time. I wish they could have made the welding sleeves all leather with elastic in the end. I must re-evaluate my use of these sleeves...

Yea no sympathy here burns are part of welding. I get burns like that through my leathers, it's part of welding.
Yup i get them everyday too and they have burned thru everything i wear or always find a small hole. Wait until you get one down your boot or dancing around in your ear and you can't do anything for either except wait it out. I caught a large piece of gas flux core slag on my lip yesterday and it still hurts today. Just part of welding...BobBob Wright, Grandson of Tee Nee Boat Trailer Founder

The short leather gloves is the problem, not the sleeves. With long gloves they will overlap the sleeves and protect you from this. The source of the sparks is usually above your elbow level and your arms are bent slightly upward while doing the welding. If the gloves overlap the welding sleeves the sparks will just roll off like water running off shingles on a roof. I work with long gloves and welding sleeves quite often and the only time that I have managed to burn my wrists is when reaching downward and welding. For this position I have learned to pull the sleeves
over the gloves.

I know about this problem and welding sleeves can protect your hands in your welding machine work. There are many high quality safety gloves products available in the market with low price.

I've always wanted us to get more stuff on Mixcloud, so don't be surprised if our output there ramps up over the next few weeks. To start things off, we've got two new mixes up. The first is an eight o'clock break from September, which looks at the work of electronic composer Laurie Spiegel.
After the jump, check out a mix of '70s Italian soundtrack music from composer Marcello Giombini, which aired this summer as part of the Dewey Decibel System show on Handpicked.

The NASB is a smooth reading Bible translation with accuracy you can trust. Originally produced in 1971 and updated in 1995, the NASB is widely embraced and trusted as a literal English translation. The NASB provides superior accuracy with clarity and readability to inspire greater understanding.
The NASB has been produced with the conviction that the words of Scripture, as originally penned in the Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek, were inspired by God. The NASB is a precise translation that you can read with confidence as you conduct a personal journey through God's Word.
Be touched, get inspired, and grow in your faith by reading the NASB today.
The Amplified Bible is a translation that, by using synonyms and definitions, both explains and expands the meaning of words in the text by placing amplification in parentheses and brackets and after key words or phrases.
This unique system of translation allows the reader to more completely grasp the meaning of the words as they were understood in the original languages. Through multiple expressions, fuller and more revealing appreciation is given to the divine message as the original text legitimately permits.
La Biblia de las Américas is an original work translated from the Hebrew-Aramaic and Greek directly into modern Spanish. La Biblia de las Américas presents the Word of God in a clear and flowing style while maintaining accuracy.
While La Biblia de las Américas uses the Vosotros form of Spanish, the Nueva Biblia Latinoamericana de Hoy (NBLH) uses the Ustedes form of Spanish and incorporates features to help the reader deeply understand the text.
Following the same principles of translation as the NASB, the LBLA and NBLH are understandable to everyone and also suitable for serious study and preaching. Learn more about the LBLA and NBLH...

Did Media Bias Help Elect Obama? Data Suggests Yes
Studies reveal at least five areas where the mainstream media (CBS, ABC, NBC) and some of their cable channels (MSNBC, CNN, Headline News) covered the election in a way that could only help Obama.
A report by Fox News lists the five areas where the media either overdid it, or under-reported events in a manner beneficial to President Obama:
- The "Gaffe Patrol" jumping on, and even manufacturing, alleged speaking mistakes by Romney during the campaign while often ignoring or delaying coverage of Obama gaffes. ABC, CBS, and N

GENEALOGY, RANDOM: The Year Without A Summer
Today we are very concerned about weather patterns and global warming. There have been abnormal instances of weather in the past too.
In 1816 things went terribly wrong and there was nothing anyone could do about it. The normal temperatures in the N.W. United States and in the S. E. of Canada in the late spring were usually around 20-25 degrees Celsius. (68-77 F). Snow in the summer was almost unheard of. Maybe a bit in late May but for the most part never.
In May of 1816 most of the crops that were planted were killed off by a frost. Anything that was replanted after that was also destroyed by two snowstorms in June through eastern Canada and New England. There were widespread localized famines and in a weakened state from hunger there were many disease related deaths.
There was still lake and river ice in July and August as far south as Pennsylvania. The few crops that did grow to maturity went up in price eightfold.
So what caused this you ask? Amazingly enough it was something that happened a year before this. In 1815 in Indonesia the volcano, Mount Tambora, erupted spewing out ash and volcanic dust into the upper atmosphere. During the time frame of 1812-1814 four other major eruptions had already built up the amount of atmospheric dust.
When this happens there is a drop in temperatures world wide. There were food riots, flooding. Hungary reported brown snow and Italy had red snow throughout the year.
I know we had so much snow in our area this year. Not a normal thing for the Lower Mainland of B.C. Now we have rain and cold temperatures and are about 3 weeks behind the normal pattern. We will have to tough it out and think about how lucky we are.
I hear that Mount Redoubt in Alaska has erupted 5 times since yesterday. Uh oh.

Very interesting Lori, you have really researched this and it is kind of scary though.
Let's just hope that it is not going to be a redo of that horrible year for us. Last year was bad enough.

Hi Lori...
What an interesting post, my friend! Wow...to think that there was ice and snow throughout the summer is just crazy! I have never really studied climate or weather...why it does what it does. To think that a volcano erupting...changing weather patterns so much is interesting indeed! Oooh...and can you even imagine seeing "red snow" falling??? That is so odd! I bet those folks were really wondering what in the heck was going on. They just didn't have the knowledge about such things like we do today! Thanks for sharing this interesting post with us for the Sunday Favorites repost party this week, Lori...I loved it!!!
Warmest summery wishes, sweet friend!

Be thankful for your coolness. The rest of the continent is baking.
Our summer is cooler here too! Yea!

It's cool and cloudy over here in the UK right now because the jet stream is running further south than usual - it normally goes over Iceland at this time of year, but it's settled just north of Scotland and is keeping the clouds over us! :(
Weather and its causes fascinates me.

Organisers at the Circuit de Catalunya have no intention of sharing the Spanish GP with their compatriots in Valencia...
Organisers at the Circuit de Catalunya have no intention of sharing the Spanish GP with their compatriots in Valencia.
With the European GP falling away, Valencia will no longer host a race but initially it was thought that the Spanish GP would alternate between Valencia and Barcelona. However, Barcelona race chiefs seem determined to see that this does not happen.
"We have a contract to host the GP of Spain until 2016 and we want to keep it. Indeed, we are open to negotiate the extension until 2020," Vincente Aguilera, president of the Consortium of the Circuit de Catalunya, is quoted as saying by Mundo Deportivo.
The statement came as Barcelona Provincial Council announced they would be investing one million Euros into the circuit.
"Circuit activity goes beyond the world of motoring. It has a continuing impact on year-round occupancy, increasing the number of tourists at resorts, catering, hotel, etc," vice president of the Provincial Council, Alberto Fernández Díez, explained.
"In this sense, this million is not an expense but an investment. It serves to promote tourism in the province of Barcelona and especially the brand new Costa Barcelona. The F1 and MotoGP events are emblematic of the installation, but the important thing is that it has almost full occupancy during the year and is a prime tourist attraction, apart from the social impact it has. "

Michigan Rep. Justin Amash, a 33-year-old Ron Paul disciple, has long been viewed by his peers as little more than a legislative renegade. Obsessed with branding himself as Paul's libertarian heir apparent in the House, Amash rarely votes for GOP legislation. His unwillingness to support party initiatives led Speaker John Boehner to boot Amash from a key committee in December 2012, which led the congressman to organize an unsuccessful coup in January 2013 aimed at ousting Boehner from the speakership. For the House Republican leadership, Amash is a reliably unreliable vote.
But in a sign of the rising libertarian tide in the Congress, Amash on Wednesday captured Washington's attention with an amendment aimed at blocking the National Security Agency (NSA) from collecting a dragnet of domestic phone records. The second-term congressman, known more for obstructing than orchestrating, raised eyebrows across the Capitol by taking on perhaps the most powerful coalition imaginable in Washington -- the White House, the military, the intelligence community and leadership of both parties -- and almost winning. Amash, leading his unlikely coalition of privacy-minded conservatives and liberal defense critics, saw his amendment fail by a 12-vote margin.
It was, without question, a seminal moment in Amash's political career.
There are no moral victories in Washington. But for a sophomore lawmaker to coordinate a bipartisan offensive against Washington's most powerful institutions -- and emerge with even greater influence -- is unprecedented. To watch lawmakers congratulate the Michigan Republican after his near-victory Wednesday was to witness a widespread recognition that, like Rand Paul in the Senate, Justin Amash has become the face of libertarianism in the House.
Amash's amendment targeted section 215 of the Patriot Act, the amendment would require FISA courts to demonstrate that targeted records are pertinent to persons under investigation. The amendment was co-authored by Democratic Rep. John Conyers, Amash's fellow Michigander and the ranking member on the House Judiciary Committee.
A week ago, it seemed unlikely that the amendment would even reach the floor for a vote. Amash, after all, has been a punch line in establishment Republican circles since he came to Congress in 2010. Because of his history with Boehner, it's unlikely that Amash could have convinced leadership to give his amendment a vote on his own accord. But Boehner, perhaps recognizing that many of his members wanted a vote on the NSA surveillance policies -- recently uncovered by a series of leaks from Edward Snowden -- allowed the amendment to reach the floor.
The speaker nearly got more than he bargained for. Not only were conservative Republicans rallying behind what they viewed as a limited-government proposal, but liberal Democrats, many of whom had voted against the Patriot Act years ago, were energized by the idea of reining in the NSA's domestic surveillance capabilities.
This convergence of far-right and far-left -- "the wingnut coalition," joked Idaho Rep. Raul Labrador, Amash's closest friend in Congress – allowed Amash to come within seven votes of winning a majority.
As word got around early in the week that Amash's amendment was gaining support, a sleeping giant awoke. Soon, an opposing coalition -- one bigger and decidedly more powerful than Amash's -- was pulling out the stops. House Intelligence Committee Chairman Mike Rogers, R-Mich., whose contempt for Amash is well-documented, began circulating a letter to colleagues urging them to oppose the amendment. On Tuesday, Gen. Keith Alexander, head of the NSA, delivered a four-hour classified briefing to lawmakers in support of the surveillance program. That same day, the Heritage Foundation published a paper calling the amendment "probably unwise and possibly unconstitutional."
In the most telling development, the White House released an unusual late-night statement Tuesday blasting the "blunt approach" taken by Amash and urging opposition to his amendment.
On Wednesday morning, with the vote scheduled for that afternoon, the Wall Street Journal published an editorial calling Amash's effort "a personal crusade" and suggesting that Republicans who voted in favor were essentially supporting Snowden. By mid-afternoon, word began circulating that both House leadership teams -- the Republicans led by Boehner, and the Democrats led by Rep. Nancy Pelosi -- were quietly urging their members to oppose the amendment.
By the time debate began Wednesday evening, reporters swarmed the press gallery and lawmakers buzzed on the House floor. Amash sounded jittery in his opening remarks. "We're here today for a very simple reason: To defend the Fourth Amendment," he said. Amash quickly took aim at his chief critics, including Rogers, sitting several feet away. "They'll tell you there's no expectation of privacy in documents that are stored with a third party," said Amash, adding with emphasis: "Tell that to the American people! Tell that to our constituents back home!"
Within moments, Rogers was speaking for the opposition. Acknowledging that "some well-intentioned members" have "legitimate concerns" about the NSA surveillance policies, the Intelligence chairman proceeded to pummel Amash and his posse. They need "time and education" to understand how the programs work, Rogers said, referencing a collection of federal judges and bipartisan lawmakers who have reviewed the policy and agreed on its constitutionality. "Those who know it best support the program," Rogers said. Warning that "passing this amendment takes us back to Sept. 10th," Rogers pointed to 54 instances in which terrorist attacks were "stopped and thwarted" by the program.
Then Rogers went for the jugular. Referencing the "big" things accomplished by former House members to keep America safe, he asked, disdain dripping from his every word, "Are we so small that we can only look at our Facebook 'likes' today in this chamber?" It was a clear and unmistakable shot at Amash, who enjoys a large social media following and explains every one of his votes on Facebook.
Amash didn't appear rattled. Instead, he began surgically dishing out speaking time to his team of supporters, a bipartisan group that included, among others, Conyers, Republican Rep. Mick Mulvaney of South Carolina, Democratic Rep. Jared Polis of Colorado, and the star witness, Rep. Jim Sensenbrenner of Wisconsin, who chaired the Judiciary Committee after the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks and helped author the Patriot Act.
When debate time elapsed, and voting began, an air of excited uncertainty hovered over the House chamber. It had always been assumed that Amash would fall short. But now, as the tallies grew closer, lawmakers glued their eyes to the scoreboard, and reporters wondered aloud: Could he actually win?
Not quite. The final vote was 205-217, a 12-vote margin of defeat, with another 12 members not voting at all. (This group did not include Boehner, who took the unusual step of voting on an amendment, and was seen celebrating its defeat.) Had just seven members switched their votes, the amendment would have been adopted. Justin Amash would have won, and the Washington establishment would have lost.
The lower chamber buzzed with energy after the defeat was announced, and supporters swarmed Amash to congratulate him. A loss in politics is rarely worth celebrating, but in this case, Amash's comrades had good cause.
The battle was lost, but the war was just beginning. And for civil libertarians on both sides of the aisle, a general had been found.

Elementary Particles (Elementarteilchen)
Drama, Romance
Buffeted by disappointments and alienation, the two half-brothers, Michael and Bruno, struggle to come to terms with the malaise of modern existence and love. Michael, a reclusive molecular biologist, is on the threshold of cloning a new kind of human being, free of the conflicts that go hand in hand with sexual desires. Bruno, a high school teacher, is a frustrated sexaholic with a penchant for young girls. The mother they barely knew was a guru groupie, a self indulgent "liberated" hippie mama who abandoned her sons to different grandmothers and boarding schools. Each was unaware of the other's existence until their teenage years.

Spacecraft Mass: Dry Mass 132.6 kg
Project Manager: Dave Lehman, NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL)

The Gravity Recovery And Interior Laboratory, or GRAIL, is flying twin spacecraft in tandem around the Moon to precisely measure and map variations in the Moon's gravitational field. This detailed information will reveal differences in density of the Moon's crust and mantle and will help answer fundamental questions about the Moon's internal structure, thermal evolution, and history of collisions with asteroids.
The new knowledge about lunar gravity will significantly assist the planning of any future manned or unmanned missions to land on the Moon. The data can be used to help target desirable landing sites and to program the descent to the surface to avoid a crash landing.
Knowledge acquired about the Moon from GRAIL will be extended to understand the broader evolutionary histories of the rocky planets in the inner solar system: Earth, Venus, Mars, and Mercury. The Moon is key to understanding how the terrestrial planets evolved because it is the most accessible planetary body that preserves a surface record spanning most of solar system history.
Mission Objectives
GRAIL has two primary science objectives:
Additional mission objectives include:
GRAIL is the lunar counterpart of the very successful Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE), twin satellites that launched in 2002 to make detailed measurements of Earth's gravity field. Major breakthroughs from GRACE include establishing the rapid melting of ice mass in recent years in Greenland and Antarctica and major changes in water storage in China's Yangtze River and other water sources-sometimes as a result of human use.
The knowledge from GRACE should lead to a better understanding of the forces that drive El Niño and La Niña, more accurate seasonal forecasts of Earth's weather patterns, an ability to track the changing distribution of water resources in critically important land aquifers, and improved forecasting of natural hazards.

I started watching some of the games with the NFL rewind. The game film takes forever to watch and hopefully before FA I will post my thoughts on each player and position. I'm currently watching the condensed versions to get a quick assessment then I will watch the game tape in detail. For this post I want to focus on the FA's.
Randy Starks In the run game he was really good. I know the run D had a couple of average games but for the most part was consistent and Starks was part of the consistency. He was better in the pass game than you think, was able to get pressure on the QB a few times a game. I believe Starks will not ask for more money than he deserves. The contract will match his value. This move would make McDaniel expendable. I actually liked Kheeston Randall in his limited action and we dont need a $3 million backup DT. Find a backup late in the draft.
Chris Clemons I thought he was good in run support though wasnt as activate as Jones. He is a solid tackler and not out of position often. He doesnt make many big plays but rarely gives up the big play. He made a nice int in each jet game. Many want another big playmaker but we have Jones and Clemons wont cost much. We should still draft someone for depth.
Sean Smith I go back and forth, not sure about him. He is the best of the current group but did not prove he is a shutdown corner or close to it. Is there still potential yes but the biggest problem is his awareness of the ball, finds it late. Of all the players he wants a contract bigger than his worth. I look at it this way he is a #2 corner wanting #1money. I would let him hit FA to test his worth and worse-case scenario he leaves a hole at the corner position but frees up money to sign a CB or realizes he wont get a big contract and resign to a reasonable contract.
Brian Hartline- With him WR is a need and without him its a major issue. I thought he had a very good year. He isnt a go up and get it player but runs crisp routes, has good hands, can sneak past the defense, and Tannehill can count on him. Tannehill and Hartline were always on the same page. Dont think he will get overpaid.
Reggie Bush The talent isnt the issue the contract isnt really either. Lamar Miller looked good with limited touches but DT cant stay healthy. Can the team really bank on Miller being the guy, not sure? I would sign him to a short deal or find a cheaper back in FA with power and have Miller for speed and hope DT can stay healthy. The big question is, will Reggie be a weapon we will utilize and earn his contract.
Anthony Fasano I have always liked Fasano. He is a good blocker and is decent in the passing game. I just feel we need more athleticism at the position. The contract would be reasonable but we need bigger plays from the position. With the injury to Charles Clay, Egnews inactive year, and possible slim pickings in FA might cause him to be resigned.
Jake long This is tough. First off I believe Martin played good enough to play LT. We all now he needs to get stronger. At least thats fixable with the weight room. So Long, if brought back, would likely play RT. Gardner was barely ok at RT. I like him at OG more than OT. Last year he was terrible at OT. So I dont feel comfortable with Gardner as my RT. I hate to say it but I doubt he comes back. RT is important but not as important as LT. I would find someone a lot cheaper. I feel like even $8 million a year is a bit too much for RT.
Highly likely to be resigned: Total - $15; Spending - $35
Starks $7.5
Clemons - $2.5
Hartline - $5
Good chance of resigning: Total - $26; Spending - $24
Anthony Fasano - $4
Reggie Bush - $7
Doubtful : If they want more they are most likely gone. Total - $39; Spending - $11
Jake Long - $8
Sean Smith- $5

When a family becomes impoverished by the high cost of catastrophic illness or a woman dies in child birth for lack of skilled health workers and proper equipment, the problem is in the health system.
A working health system:
- Improves health outcomes.
- Protects citizens from catastrophic financial loss and impoverishment due to illness.
- Ensures consumer satisfaction in an equitable, efficient and sustainable manner.
- Delivers the right volume and distribution of services, using responsive provider-client interactions.
- Operates at the community, local, and national levels.
Creating a functioning health system is vital to making a lasting impact in developing countries. By creating the proper conditions for a fully functioning health system, USAID helps build country ownership and sustainability.
USAID's health systems strengthening program provides support to ensure that developing country health systems are effective, efficient, responsive and equitable. Working health systems are vital to ensure widespread use of effective health services.
Health systems strengthening is a process that concentrates on ensuring that people and institutions, both public and private, undertake core functions of the health system (governance, financing, service delivery, health workforce, information and medicines/vaccines/other technologies) in a mutually enhancing way.
This process, whether guided by individual governments, nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) or donor agencies, is underway in many countries as populations' needs change and grow.
- By 2015, we will increase access to and use of interventions that address countries' high levels of out-of-pocket spending. This includes improving skills of health managers, creation of improved data and related decision making, better aligned incentives and reform of key health system processes.
- By 2015, we will take steps to ensure that countries have deliberate strategies to address key health system bottlenecks.
- By 2015, we will develop a clear understanding of how to measure progress in health systems strengthening.

Offers the widest range of application flexibility available. Exhibits excellent processing performance whether manually or automatically applied. Has superior tensile strength, adhesion properties and holding force which ensures consistent, reliable seals. Hot melt adhesive will bond faster to a surface which is referred to as quick-grab or quick-stick. It typically has higher tack (will feel stickier to the touch), but is also softer. It has lower heat resistance, shear resistance, and sometimes UV resistance than an acrylic adhesive. NOTE: it is called hot melt because the adhesive is applied hot by the manufacturer and then hardens as it cools (you do not need to apply heat to the tape yourself).
Properties are similar to that of hot melt rubber, but natural rubber often holds where other adhesives won't (recycled fibers, dust, cold, heat and heavy loads). It provides good overall adhesion and moisture resistance.
Offer excellent performance, especially for applications in temperatures less than 40°F and greater then 120°F. It provides excellent clarity, has high shear strength, is usually more permanent/durable even when exposed to moisture, and it ages well over extended periods in fluorescent and sunlight. Since it remains clear for the life of the application and does not yellow over time it is ideal for applications such as sealing white cartons. While it has good initial adhesion it does take 24-48 hours to cure and to achieve its maximum bond strength (has gradual adhesion buildup). Another difference between hot melt rubber and acrylic adhesive is if you fold tape over making the two adhesive sides touch the acrylic adhesive will remain attached to the carrier (e.g. paper, film) while a hot melt adhesive will stick to itself and pull off of the carrier. It is the best choice for clarity, UV resistance and aging characteristics.
Is great for extreme temperature applications since silicone adhesive can work in continuous operating temperatures from -100°F to 500°F. They also exhibit good chemical resistance, retain electrical properties, and remove cleanly with little or no residue.
Zinc oxide based adhesive formula is a skin-friendly adhesive which is commonly used on sports medicine tapes.

We are very excited to be offering a new program! We know how hard learners work with their tutors to improve their English language skills and sometimes it is difficult. So, we are pleased to announce that we have created a Learner Mentor program. The learner mentors will be available to answer questions, offer support, make changes, and anything else that will help the adult learners achieve their literacy goals. We hope that this will make the learners experience in the Lake County Library System Adult Literacy Program a better one!
We are pleased to welcome Silvia Truyts Carey as the new Leesburg Learner Mentor. She is 41 years old and was born and raised in São Paulo, Brazil. She came to the United States in 2000 and first lived in Orlando but after meeting her husband, Brian, she moved to Leesburg. She works at the Waterfront Inn in The Villages as the Executive Housekeeper. Not only is Silvia working with a tutor but she is volunteering additional time to help staff and tutors communicate with learners as well as recruit new learners to the program. Silvia has been instrumental in recruiting over 15 new learners in the short time she has been a volunteer Learner Mentor! We are thrilled to have her as part of the literacy team.

My Money Podcast – Consumer Affairs

Shirley and Andrew speak with Joanne Kearney from MBIE
My Money is a budgeting series created by the Dunedin Budget Advisory Service.
Quite a long time ago, one of our old advisers, who was getting near 80 at the time, decided to pack it in and spend his days in his garden instead. It wasn't because he was feeling too old or past it, he said, that was far from the reason. The reason he was leaving, he insisted, was that we had largely ceased to be a budgeting service, but had increasingly become a debt management service. When he had started budgeting, way way back then, the majority of his clients received enough income to be able to meet their day to day living costs, once they had acquired the necessary budgeting skills. Now it was all different, and he didn't like it, and his heart wasn't in it anymore
I'm not going to debate the merits of his reasoning, but one of the big problems for so many clients today certainly is debt, and very often the debt is compounded monstrously not only by interest and penalty charges, but by people, desperate people, taking out loans that they also can't afford to repay, to pay those unpaid bills. They don't seem to be able to grasp the fact that if they don't even have enough to pay their bills, how can they ever repay a cash loan, mostly at savage and extortionate interest rates? They'll cut back on food, that's what they'll do, and rely on food banks, miss the rent and the power bills. The cash loan companies and the debt collectors feed off each other. Too many clients just make it worse and worse for themselves, as penalties and interest charges slowly transform a mole hill into a mountain.
So many people, so much debt, so many debt collection agencies. It's enough to make you sob into your Weetbix. There are so many people come in, and they say they just want to clear their debts. That's understandable. Trouble is, half of them don't even know how much debt they have, they have moved around too much, kept running to stay ahead of it all. Now they're tired of running, they want us to find out their debts for them first, and then they want us to wave a magic wand and make it all go away. That it might take effort and commitment from them is a hard message to hear.
I had one woman who came in, and when I asked her about her debt , she said she didn't really know, but she did have a lot of letters at home, all of them unopened of course. Human nature, hide from the horrid stuff, or try to run away. I made her bring them all in, in shopping bags, tipped them on to the desk, and started opening them while she shrank back in fear on the other side as though a snake or poisonous spider might crawl out and strike at her. It was the IRD letter that frightened her most, because she had no idea of what demand or threat it contained, but it turned out though that it was a tax refund cheque for her, which could have stayed in the drawer for ever. It all quite made her day, her situation wasn't nearly as bad as she feared, almost manageable in fact, and she also found some extra spending money.
People panic when they're stressed out, they do really crazy stuff, and we have to try to stop them doing it. That fence at the top of the cliff we talk about so much. People have to take responsibility for their lives but you can't make anyone see sense or logic when they're in the middle of a panic attack. You're got to get them calm first, concentrate their minds, and help them work it out themselves, and then we're half way home.
Shirley discusses young people and money.
My Money is a budgeting series created by the Dunedin Budget Advisory Service.
I wanted to share a story with you about a client that I recently worked with. The client, who I will call John, had recently shifted to Dunedin. He had come from the central North Island to take up a position as a manager with the company he was employed by. John had approached our budgeting service because, despite earning a good salary, he was unable to pay his power bills on time. I was able to access a fund local fund provided by our City Council to help with his immediate need and pay his overdue power bill, however this was not going to provide a long term solution for John.
John lived with his wife and teenage daughter. Being new to Dunedin, John didn't know what sort of power bills to expect but was shocked when he received $500 – $600 power accounts each month. He was used to paying in the region of $150 and explained that he and his family were doing everything in their power (excuse the pun) to keep their power usage down. He explained he was showering as little as possible, turning everything off at the wall when possible and they were using blankets instead of the heat pump. After investigating John's power account it struck me as being very high for a small family of three.
Knowing that John's electricity supplier was currently installing smart meters in Dunedin, I asked him if he by chance had one. He did, so I showed him how to install an app on his smart phone that can show your electricity usage from monthly right down to hourly. What I noticed was that even at night time John and his family were still using a lot of power. This was very strange because everything was switched off. Having come across this issue before, I advised him that there may be faulty wiring, a problem with the hot water cylinder, or maybe a fault with the heat pump?
John asked me what he could do about this. I explained to him that tenants have rights. Landlords among other things must ensure that the plumbing, electrical wiring and the structure of the building is safe and working. As we suspected an issue with the plumbing or wiring we could request that the landlord have this looked at. John's landlord was in Auckland and was paying a property management company to look after the property for him. We contacted the property manager and requested that they have the power consumption issue looked at and fixed. The property manager came back to us and told us that the owner had recently spent money on the property and was not willing to have any further work done. I explained to John that this was not good enough.
I downloaded a 14 Day Notice form from the Department of Building and Housing website www.dbh.govt.nz . We requested that the property manager address John's issue or he would be going to the Tenancy Tribunal and would be asking to be released from his lease. The 14 days came and went with no word coming from the property manager. We applied online to the Tenancy Tribunal for a fee of $20.44, giving all of the relevant facts in the application and shortly after John received a date for a Tribunal hearing. I attended the hearing with John where the property manager tried to argue that John had wanted out of his lease the whole time. The adjudicator was quite firm with the property manager and advised that landlords have responsibilities just like tenants do. The adjudicator made a decision in John's favour and ordered that he be released from his tenancy and be reimbursed the $20.44 that he paid for his application. John was so delighted that the next day he brought his wife in to meet me and at Christmas he dropped in with a card and a box of chocolates.
Well as you can see budget advisers do more than play around with numbers. We can help in all sorts of ways and if we can't, we can try and point you in the right direction. Of course you need to play your part too and be willing to engage in the process.
Shirly talks with Pip Laufiso, the Executive Officer of the Kokiri Training Centre in Dunedin.
My Money is a budgeting series created by the Dunedin Budget Advisory Service.
I often present the following scenario to my clients:
Quote: If someone was bleeding out, say from a perforated artery or vein, what would a doctor try and do first: transfuse more blood or stop the bleeding?
People don't need a medical background to answer this correctly. It just takes common sense. Yet, when it comes to money, common sense disappears. People place themselves in a quagmire of debt but don't think about trying to stop spending. Their self-talk seems to be, "I need more money" without considering the thinking behind what created the problem in the first place.
So in the context of money, what does mismanagement look like?
Most people I work with spend emotionally and without a plan. They have no solid rationale besides the fact that they just want it. Unfortunately, one of the consequences of living in a fast-paced society is, and that's due to the rate of change and advances with technology, credit is so easy to access.
Even tougher on the unquestioning consumer with a lust for spending, is the powerful influence of the media which is more than complicit with retailers as their streams of revenue are highly dependent on advertising for their existence. New Zealand society is constantly bombarded with unrealistic media images that reach and teach us how we should define ourselves- brand clothing, fashion accessories, the latest electronic devices to engage in social media, cooler vehicles (that end up being repossessed), bigger houses and the list goes on…
Question: Why are we spending money we don't have to keep up or impress people we don't know and probably don't even like?
Answer: Is it because we want to feel like we belong somewhere, whether it's with our extended family or a group of friends, a small part of our community, even if it harms us?
Opinion: Feeling like we belong to anything at the expense of our happiness, of giving up control over our money, safety and security and all logical financial sense, is overrated.
Advice: We may want to consider seeking out what common sense and good financial management is that provides you with a sense of control. Go and make an appointment with your nearest NZFFBS budget adviser, read up on whatever information you can find.
Looking after pets on a budget and why getting rid of them isn't the best solution. Shirly talks to Grace and Sophie from the SPCA and Michelle from Pet Fix.

Since I discovered the art of Manga by reading the Sailor Moon series many years ago, I became increasingly lost in these drawn worlds.
In the beginning, my own drawings were mostly never-never lands whereto I would escape in bad times. However, in the course of time, the characters created and the stories surrounding them (which I hope to finalize some day) became essential parts of my very own life.
Every single one of them, no matter if protagonist or minor character, is to me like my own child. Every character is now a part of what I am.
During my professional education that eventually culminated in me becoming a media designer, I learned how to use the most important graphics software, and by working with that software I achieved the necessary skills to also use them for my private, and meanwhile public, purposes as well.
My professional skills are an important foundation for my artwork. My drawings are created with printing technology needs in mind so that they still will look good when printed in large scale.
My profession and my hobby complemented one another perfectly during the last years, and both of them became passions to me. I wouldn't want to, and even could not live without either anymore.

Gallery: Self-Sustaining Aquaponic Greenhouse Coming to Vermont Park
The 45-foot domed greenhouse sits on half an acre of land leased from the National Gardening Association. Using only fish food and seedlings to start, the team will install a fish pond in the center of the self-sustaining dome. Bacteria will act as a pH regulator in the pond, and the water containing fish poo will be siphoned to the plants, providing not just water but also natural fertilizer. The fruit, vegetables and flowers grown are essentially organic, as is the fish farm, but there are no organic certification regulations for organic crops grown without soil via aquaponics.
In addition to producing organic food, the whole compound will be powered by renewable energy – passive solar technology and vertical axis windmills will produce electricity for the dome. They also plan to use waste to produce even more energy. The pond will begin construction in May, and it will also function as an educational community center run by Root Center employees WWOOF and other volunteers. It is anticipated to yield 20,000 lbs of organic produce for the needy each year.

Buy a 50 ft. roll of turkey wire 4 ft. high with 2″ x 4″ spacing. Cut it in three 15 ft. lengths with 2″ extra wire sticking out at one end to hook onto the other end. Bring the ends together to form a large cage about 4 ft. in diameter. Use the 2″ piece to hook the ends together from top to bottom. Now weave vertical blind slats in the fence wire horizontally all the way around from top to bottom to make a large basket. This 50 ft. roll will make you three baskets. Be sure you locate each basket on level ground. Fill each basket with leaves,any kind except pine needles, and keep adding leaves for at least 2 weeks as they settle. This is very, very important because the leaves will pack down like a sponge. At the end of 2 weeks put at least 6 inches of planting soil on top covering the entire surface over the leaves. You must plant now because the weight of the soil will press the leaves down further and it will be hard to plant reaching over the fence wire after it settles. It will continue to settle for about 2 to 6 weeks depending on the type of leaves and the amount of rain. It should stop settling at about a 3 ft. height or waist height, ideal for those using wheelchairs. After the soil has settled to this point cut the top 10 inches of the fence wire off leaving 2 inch pieces sticking up all the way around, about 90 pieces. Bend these down inside to avoid being cut by the sharp ends. Save the part you cut off for use later. In 2 to 3 years it will have settled to about 2 ft. or less. This is slow composting also known as anaerobic digestion. In the end you end up with good humus. When you are ready to start over just lift the wire cage off leaving a large cake of humus, set the cage in a new location, put the 10 inch piece back on top, fill it with leaves, keep adding leaves for 2 weeks, add 6 inches of soil and you've started all over again. Plant.
