PRAIRIE POINT, TEXAS (Cooke County). Prairie Point is on Farm Road 992 twenty miles southwest of Gainesville and a mile east of the Montague county line in southwestern Cooke County. In the mid-1850s a schoolhouse was built on a hill that overlooked the surrounding prairie and provided the name for the community. In 1920 Prairie Point and nearby Rosston consolidated their schools and built a new building that is equidistant between the two communities; the area was called the Ross Point School District. In 1936 Prairie Point had a school, a factory, one business, and scattered dwellings. From the 1930s through the 1960s the population was estimated at twenty-five. By 1968 it had grown to thirty. In 1978 county maps showed that Prairie Point had a church and a number of scattered dwellings. In 1990 the population was still estimated at thirty.

Long Island teachers get back-to-school makeovers
Smack in the middle of summer vacation, three brave teachers, chosen from hundreds of applicants, agreed to undergo the rigors of Newsday's second annual teacher makeover.
Makeovers -- ours at least -- are meant to be fun, focusing on beauty, fashion and glamour. But there's a serious side to how a teacher looks, pointed out Melissa McMullan, a sixth-grade teacher at John F. Kennedy Middle School in Port Jefferson Station, who nominated her neighbor Sharon Lane. "Teachers serve as role models," she said. "We teach our students different aspects of being good citizens, having good manners and being successful people, but just as important is to show what a professional looks like in a workplace."
With this in mind, we approached the makeover process with the goal of teaching the teachers how to look and feel their best while still projecting a professional image. First stop was nuBest Salon and Spa in Manhasset, where the changes -- some significant -- began. The next day, it was off to Jericho High School, where our glam squad of hairdressers, makeup artists and stylists converged to work their makeover magic. We think you'll agree that our teachers passed with flying colors.
Sharon Lane(Credit: Lane family photo / Bruce Gilbert)
Age: 46
Teaches: certified nursing assistant program
School: Western Suffolk BOCES in Farmingdale
?She has the most beautiful mind, body and spirit, and she just wears the worst clothing of anyone I?ve ever seen in my life,? wrote Melissa McMullan in her nominating letter. ?She spends so much time on her family and students that the last thing she thinks about is herself. If there were a real fashion police, she would have been in jail a long time ago.?
For her part, Lane was oblivious. ?I wear a suit every day? (some of these ancient, many ill-fitting, all in black or beige). ?I thought it was professional.?
Lesson plan: Teach Lane to embrace color, and show her that a ?suit? needn?t be boring and matched to look professional. Encourage her to get looser with her hair and more streamlined with the fit of her clothing.
The Rx: At first, it was all about taming the ?do. Lane?s wild mane was damaged from years of pulling it back and coloring it with ?whatever.? NuBest creative director Jamie Mazzei lopped off three inches of frizz and layered it, while color director Christian Fleres corrected the brassiness, then recoloring it in a dark to lighter honeyed ombre that he said wouldn?t require significant maintenance. ?If I knew my hair could look this good,? said Lane, ?I would have taken a vested interest a long time ago.? Tailored, stylish clothing with some detail ? leather trim, floral prints ? and a bit of color finished the job.
Homework: ?Sometimes you can?t see the forest through the trees. I didn?t realize the potential I had, but I do now. This showed me the opportunities I have to be professional and fashionable . . . like wearing a flowered jacket!?
On Sharon: Floral jacket by Ted Baker, $325 at select Bloomingdale's; burnt-orange flutter blouse, $78, and black cigarette Khloee pant, $88, both by Kenneth Cole, at select Macy?s.
Rodolfo Gonzalez(Credit: Gonzalez family photo / Bruce Gilbert)
Age: 62
Teaches: Spanish
School: Seaford High School
Gonzalez was nominated by Kathy Trotta, a parent whose three children have taken his class. It was not that Gonzalez had such a fashion problem, but, as Trotta wrote, ?Mr. Gonzalez is a great teacher but very old school and wears a shirt and tie to school every day."
?I don?t really think about fashion,? Gonzales acknowledged. ?I have about 150 ties, and in terms of jackets I have the standards ? navy, black and gray.? On Fridays, dress-down day at his school, he mixes it up by not wearing a tie. Additionally, his wife, Carmen, has encouraged him to change his haircut. ?I tell him get it more like the young guys ? closer in at the sides, but he always gets the same thing.?
Lesson plan: Break Gonzalez out of the suit-and-tie mode with more casual but still professional looks, add some color to his wardrobe and modernize his haircut.
The Rx: NuBest?s Mazzei shaped Gonzalez?s shock of white hair into a hipper style, tapered at the back, and trimmed up his mustache. Those formal jackets were banned, though to stay in his comfort zone we kept the ties but put him in vividly colored sweaters, patterned shirts, even dark jeans.
Homework: ?I learned that checks, plaids and stripes actually do complement each other. It looks quite attractive, and, though I don?t usually wear them, I enjoyed wearing vivid colors,? he said. In all, he summed up his makeover: ?Una experiencia insolita? (An unexpected experience).
On Rodolfo: Striped oxford shirt, $155, at billskhakis.com; blue sweater by Polo Ralph Lauren, $98, at select Macy?s stores; oversized stainless steel watch by Mossimo Supply Co., $22.99, at select Target stores and target.com.
Erin Marone(Credit: Marone family photo / Bruce Gilbert)
Age: 29
Teaches: Library media specialist
School: Dayton Avenue School in Manorville
Marone nominated herself for a makeover after someone confused her for one of the students. ?I want to look older, professional and stylish,? she said. Her hard-to-style mid-length hair was most often pulled back into a ?messy bun.? ?My mother, who?s in her 50s and also a teacher, dresses better than me.? Mom, Lenore Lounsbury, agrees. ?I do. When she went for the library job, she said she was going to break the librarian stereotype, but when I visit her, she?s wearing black pants and a scarf and her glasses. I say, ?You didn?t break the stereo- type; you are it.? ?
Lesson plan: Shape Marone?s neither here-nor-there hairdo and introduce her to more sophisticated fashion, accessories, color and organized layering.
The Rx: First nuBest?s Fleres colored her hair in a deep chestnut shade, painting a few highlights around her face. Gutsy Marone allowed Mazzei to chop her locks into a short style (think Jennifer Lawrence) that framed her face and looked chic and modern. ?I love it,? she said. Dressed in easy-to-peel-off layers, rich colors and even a statement necklace, Marone?s got raves from her mom, who said, ?It?s going to be a whole other girl coming back to school . . . I mean woman.?
Homework: ?I was in shock with how I looked,? said Marone. After the photo shoot, her mom took her shopping for her 29th birthday, and instead of picking out a blah neutral, Marone went for a red dress and blue statement necklace. ?I learned to take more chances with color . . . and to spend a little more time on myself getting ready.? Added bonus? ?My husband loved how I looked.?
On Erin: Dark teal shift with faux snakeskin front by Donna Morgan, $188, and abstract print scarf by Elana Kattan, $75, both at Impulse Boutique, Port Washington and Greenpoint; bordeaux leather jacket, $380, at Massimo Dutti, Manhattan; pendant, $310, at select Swarovski boutiques and swarovski.com; leather bucket bag by Lancaster Paris, $218, at lancaster-paris.com, Black opaque coverage tights, $14.50 at better department stores and DKNY.com.
From left:
Erin Marone?s media room gets frosty, so she needs this alice + olivia faux fur animal print jacket, $369, worn with a cobalt blue top, $99, by Bella Luxx and tassel necklace, $199, by Alyce Ross, all at Entree Boutique, Port Washington. Classic Merona pants, $27.99, at select Targets and target.com.
Rodolfo Gonzalez gets colorful with a lavender check Ralph Lauren shirt, $69.50, electric blue quarter-zip pullover by Black Brown, $69.50, and purple plaid Kenneth Cole tie, $55, all at select Lord & Taylors and lordandtaylor.com. Black dress pants by Dockers, $40 at select J.C. Penney's.
A smart black dress with leather patchwork by Bailey, $289, topped by a funky moto jacket by Jack, $99, and worn with a marbled necklace by Alyce Ross, $219 (all from Entree Boutique, Port Washington) and Chocolate opaque coverage control top tights, $14.50 by DKNY, (at better department stores and DKNY.com) shows Sharon Lane that a "suit" needn't be matchy-matchy.

Waited at local gamestop before opening....got lucky today. I got Ness, Pacman, Silver Mario, Splatoon 3 pack, got Charizard at walmart in the wee hours of the morning. Was a line The two people in front of me were there 2 hours early....crazy man!
I think they had to release info on NX to adress fears that they were going Sega with the announcement about dena. The thing that sucks is it hurts enthusiasm for the WiiU. If Nintendo burns WiiU owners prematurely killiing off WiiU with it's current small library of games before it's time I think it will hurt nintendo for a long time with it's fanbase. There are some heavy hitters coming(Zelda, Starfox, X)....but there needs to be a more rounded library before the next system comes, and they don't need to be half-hearted efforts. They better do a direct soon touting some good stuff for WiiU or they will will further squash interest in WiiU and hurt sales of future titles already lined up for the WiiU. We supported them and were patient only to have the rug pulled out from under us. Fix it Ninty.
I preordered my copy back in June from Gamestop so I had no problems but when I asked why they didn't have copies of bayo2 on the shelf he said they had sold out of them very quickly lol.....I was like YES! They aslo had a single copy of a beautiful hardback strategy guide book for bayo2 and I just had to have it, beautifully made book! I was so happy to see 2 physical disks for bayo 1 and 2, old news I know but so awesome bayo 1 wasn't a download.
Good God Bayonetta just looks better and better lol!!!!! Preordered! Gonna be a hard wait!
Dang , why talk crap sony,,,,Have some class! Compensating maybe, a little butt hurt maybe?
no doubt MajinSoul.......people get a grip....what s wrong with u? Bayo2 on it's own is a day 1 purchase, then you find out it will be a digital for The FREE first so then your not gonna support nintendo or this awesome developer. Yes I too would prefer a physical copy too but that doesn't change anything for me........check yourself. This generation of gamers suck, your really showing your colors.
Will be buying the star wars dlc for sure. Day one purchase! Took a while but seeing the quality I can understand why!
Downloaded Wii fit u and the update for it np. Folks look it up, psn and xbox having the same problems, give em' a break people......nintendo will get it sorted. I was at least able to get what I needed, was slow but it worked.
Yes, yes...... it's a vast conspiracy to sell batteries....those profit margins on that battery must be huge.......lol.
Just placed my order, looking forward to the upgrade thanks nintendo! The price is not bad folks....geez, some folks just gripe about anything. Nintendo is a good company and wouldn't price gouge on something like this so please pull your head out of you donkey.....It's a reasonable price. We're not powering the U pro controller, it's the gamepad. I'm happy ninty made it available for us., they listened and made it available.
The main thing hurting the U is the bs bad info campaign....which is where nintendo doesn't compete being conservative and tight lipped as the company traditionally is. Slow game releases doesn't help either.
Sorry, I just don't agree that wii u is a bad idea......it's a brilliant console, I think people are demanding conformity from nintendo and that's just not gonna happen. It's too early for this bs.....again it's too early!!!! The controller is brilliant, like the controller of the future.....the most advanced of all time yet easy to use and feels great.....I do agree about the consoles graphics capability being enough to compete......ninty has controllers you can add if you want to "dumb down" to what the other guys are stuck with.....but by all comparisons, the gamepad is incredible. They admit it isn't the graphics but say it would be better with a less advanced controller lol?!?!?
awesome, my family and I have loved the first 3 tables, will definitely be picking this one up!
Geez, give nintendo a break...they're listening and trying....they do what folks ask and you kick em' in the sack, no matter what they do you whine.....I bought the deluxe at full price and I don't feel burned and no one should....just the nature of retail markets. I've loved my Wiiu since I bought it. This move by ninty will help us all, and is a great move....anything that increases the sales numbers increases support for the console...u butt-hurt fairweather fans spreading negative stuff on the web are doing just as much to hurt the console than, pachter or flaky third party support. Give em' a break!!!

The head of the Republican National Committee is demanding that NBC and CNN pull the plug on airing an upcoming documentary and a miniseries on former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton — or risk losing out on the chance to sponsor presidential debates in the 2016 GOP primary election.
RNC Chairman Reince Priebus sent letters to Robert Greenblatt, chairman of NBC Entertainment, and Jeff Zucker, president of CNN Worldwide, calling on them to "cancel this political ad masquerading as an unbiased production."
"If you have not agreed to pull the programming prior to the start of the RNC's Summer Meeting on August 15, I will seek a binding vote of the RNC stating that the committee will neither partner with you in 2016 primary debates nor sanction primary debates which you sponsor," Mr. Priebus wrote in letters he released Monday.
Mr. Priebus said the programming appears to be a "major network's thinly-veiled attempt at putting a thumb on the scales of the 2016 presidential election." In an accompanying news release, he said that it is "appalling" to know that the executives at NBC and CNN have donated to Democrats and "take it upon themselves to be Hillary Clinton's campaign operatives."
Echoing long-standing complaints from conservatives about liberal bias in the mainstream media, Mr. Priebus also noted in his letter to NBC the overt liberal-left partisanship of the MSNBC cable network.
Mrs. Clinton, also a former senator from New York, is far ahead in the early Democratic polls for the 2016 presidential race, although she has not indicated whether she will run.
The two networks' projects are quite different, though no final air dates have been set and neither project has been completed.
NBC will produce a fictionalized miniseries called "Hillary," with Oscar-nominated actress Diane Lane set to play Mrs. Clinton. The four-hour film will cover the former first lady's public life since 1998, the year consumed by President Bill Clinton's affair with White House intern Monica Lewinsky and the resulting impeachment furor.
Meanwhile CNN Films will air a feature-length documentary on Mrs. Clinton, to be directed by Charles Ferguson, who won an Oscar for the 2010 anti-Wall Street documentary "Inside Job." In his acceptance speech, Mr. Ferguson noted that "not a single financial executive has gone to jail, and that's wrong."
In a statement, CNN said the RNC should "reserve judgment until they know more" about Mr. Ferguson's film, which "is in the very early stages of development and months from completion."
The cable network also chided in advance as "curious" any decision to exclude CNN for hosting debates, saying that "limiting their debate participation seems to be the ultimate disservice to voters."
Meanwhile, officials at NBC passed the buck to each other, with Richard Licata, an NBC Entertainment spokesman, declining comment to The Associated Press on the request and referring calls to NBC News. In a statement, NBC News said it "is completely independent of NBC Entertainment and has no involvement in this project."
Iowa GOP Chairman A.J. Spiker applauded the move, saying that the state party there will not co-sponsor debates with the two networks if they don't go along with the request.
"For far too long, Republicans have stood back and watched helplessly as news networks have covered anything but news, instead using their platforms to promote left-leaning policies and candidates within the Democratic Party. It's time Republicans pushed back and refuse to let these media outlets decide who our next president will be," Mr. Spiker said.

Merry Christmas to all Longs.
Shorts, you'd better turn Long asap because you will get vaporized. This stock will 2x, 3x + in no time and the irony is that it is because of your arficial and continuous pressure you've applied on it over the last several months. An enormous quantity of energy will be released when your stretched and fatigued cable snaps. Despite this short pressure and shy Market, the stock is progressing and is really about to lift-off. Because of this and all accumulated positive news and development, the $7-10 range could be much closer than one can imagine. Yes, don't be shy, and even at these levels the SP still has a lot of room to expand.
The Brainwasher/Dumping Gang from Short Interests have succeeded in putting market to sleep, but Orbite will wake it up. This Stock worth significantly MORE...
Why the Shorts are doing this badmouthing campaign: because above approx. $2.64, they are losing approx. $150,000 per cent of share price increase. Shorting Era is ending because the risk is getting too high for them. Even with desperate moves like latest "report" from Hyk-y. Institutional investors are not dumb! Covering 12-15 M short positions is not an easy task on a stock that has such strong fundamentals, even if you have a gang of Dumpers/Brainwashers working on it. It might be also because it allows skimming shares out of the weak hands at cheap price to slowly but surely load up their main/ Long accounts... Bottom line: don't get fooled by their smoke show.
HPA Plant is about to rev, it is a matter of days/hours now! Process loop almost ready.
Realistic Estimates
$ 15.05 per HPA Plant ($7.84 when considering only HP-alumina)
$ 15+ per SGA Plant (lowest line of the sensitivity analysis in my link below, including 50% of alumina revenues shared to JV partners - only for 1st Plant, probably not required for the next ones).
Orbite will become the leader in REE/RM production, lowest cost SGA, HPA, HP-silica, Red Mud and Fly Ash business - clean and low-cost technology, fully patent-protected technology (latest news reinforce this), huge ressource. Do the the math and wake up.
If you have not already read this, please take the time to examine it. It is providing realistic estimate of what can be expected from the BFS with all the data available so far (SGA Plant). Please also have a look at the last link in this same post (at the very end, above the picture of the NaOH truck) is the latest estimate for the HPA Plant using 220M shares, and you will note my purity level estimates were right on (Orbite mentioned in their latest press release they will be focusing on 5N and 6N - which is a significant news - Dec. 18 Press release: " Orbite intends to focus principally on the market for 5N and 6N HPA, which is of higher value than the 4N market."- ; I have used 30% 4N, 60% 5N, and 10% 6N HP-alumina) - in fact, they might produce more 6N than I thought (expect even better numbers).
Analysts are starting the coverage slowly, but they will have to increase their price target on the way up...
The big guys want all of your shares. They are working on your patience and psychology. If you can, continue to accumulate.

Albany, NY (PRWEB) July 25, 2013
CDPHP® is partnering with Trinity Alliance of the Capital Region and the Commission on Economic Opportunity (CEO) to bring "The Community Health Project" to CDPHP members in Albany and Troy.
Through this unique collaboration, trained community health workers from Trinity Alliance and CEO are reaching out to CDPHP members who have been identified as not maximizing their health benefits. The goal of this initiative is to educate and empower individuals and families to help them identify and achieve their health goals.
This free service will provide information on caring for children with asthma, eating well on a budget, managing chronic diseases and more. In addition, community health workers can assist individuals with accessing medical care through a primary care doctor.
"Our partnership with Trinity Alliance and CEO allows us to contact members who we may otherwise not be able to reach," said Dr. Liza Whalen, medical director, CDPHP. "The community health workers are a trusted source, providing the outreach needed to keep our members healthy."
"Part of Trinity Alliance's mission is to promote health and well-being. We are proud to combine our know-how and expertise with CDPHP and CEO in order to enhance individuals' and families' access to health care information and resources," said Trinity Alliance CEO Harris Oberlander.
"CEO is proud to announce our partnership with CDPHP in The Community Health Project to offer Rensselaer County's CDPHP members support and guidance," said Selina Dobbs, Community Health Worker for CEO. "Our trained community health workers will focus on assessing and engaging identified CDPHP members to find solutions in securing and maintaining proper health care. Together with CDPHP, we look forward to contributing to the health and well-being of our community as a whole."

Governor's Awards for Excellence
Gov. Pat McCrory recognized eight members of the State Highway Patrol for their heroism during a ceremony in Raleigh Nov. 18.
- Lt. Douglas B. Amos
- Sergeant Mark L. Cline
- Trooper Carroll R. Hallyburton
- Trooper Aaron K. Johnson
- Trooper Russell V. McGee, III
- Trooper Kyle B. Robinson
- Trooper Joshua L. Shuffler
- Trooper Daniel J. Wakefield
On Wed., March 12, 2014, members of Troop F Districts 1 and 9, lead by then Fst. Sgt. D. B. Amos, initiated a search and recovery effort of U.S. Forest Officer Jason Crisp who was killed while tracking a suspect wanted in a double-homicide. Fst. Sgt. Amos gathered personnel and performed a tactical search and recovery effort of Officer Crisp and three F-1 members who were behind Crisp when he was shot.
Due to the gravity of the situation and not knowing the suspect's exact location, Fst. Sgt. Amos and members used their active shooter training, dispersed into two groups and tactically withdrew from the woods. As they exited, they walked upon the suspect who was dressed in camouflage. The suspect refused to comply with the troopers instructions and fired his weapon. The suspect received return fire and the threat was over. The SHP members displayed courage, personal bravery and selfless acts of heroism which involved risking their lives to apprehend a dangerous suspect to prevent further injury and loss of life.
These eight men also received the Valor Award from Colonel William Grey, Commander of the State Highway Patrol in May 2014.

Ryder Cup 2012: 'It's not over yet,' says Europe captain Olazabal
Europe's Ryder Cup captain Jose Maria Olazabal says his side can overturn the United States' 10-6 lead, insisting: "It's not over. Simple as that."
As holders, Europe need to score eight points from Sunday's 12 singles matches to retain the trophy while the US need four-and-a-half points to reclaim it.
"We have a tough task ahead, but I believe it's not over," said Olazabal.
"That's what I learned from Seve (Ballesteros), and that's what I'm going to pass to the players."
The Americans have never lost more than a two-point advantage on the final day since the competition began in 1927 but Olazabal remains upbeat that his side can create history in Illinois.
The Spaniard said: "Things have not gone our way, especially on the greens, but I believe that momentum will come our way.
"We are trailing by four points and we have to put the players that are playing well up there. If we want to win this match we have to take the big guys down."
In the final day of the Ryder Cup at Medinah Country Club, Luke Donald will play Bubba Watson in the opening singles match as Europe set about their fightback.
Olazabal has put four of his most experienced players at the top of the order with Ian Poulter second out against Webb Simpson.
Rory McIlroy faces Keegan Bradley and Justin Rose takes on Phil Mickelson.
World number two Tiger Woods is the last man out for the United States, against Francesco Molinari. Woods faced the Italian two years ago at Celtic Manor, winning 4&3.
Paul Lawrie, who is fifth out against Brandt Snedeker, played in the same team as Olazabal when the US produced the biggest comeback in Ryder Cup history, overturning a 10-6 deficit to win at Brookline in 1999.
The Scot was one of only three Europeans who were victorious on that final day when the US picked up eight-and-a-half points.
And he said: "There's still 12 singles matches. We can all win and why not?
"It's certainly not over. It would be nice to make a big comeback, so we'll see what happens.
"It's always possible. Until it's impossible to do it, then you fight on, certainly for Jose Maria this week. No-one is going to be giving up."
Europe will play in the blue and white colours favoured by the late Ballesteros, who died in May 2011 after a long battle with a brain tumour.
Fellow Spaniard Olazabal was his partner for much of his Ryder Cup career and the players will have the image of Ballesteros on their bags as well as his silhouette on their shirts.
"For this miracle to be worked, two things must change: Europe must find the putting mojo that has been the USA's sole possession for the first two days, and they must get off to the mother of all fliers."
"We have Seve's blue and white, Seve on the bag and his right-hand man as our captain hopefully seeing us home," said Poulter, who has won all three of his matches so far at Medinah.
To win back the trophy they lost on Welsh soil two years ago, the US need to reach 14½ points but, although that score is tantalisingly within reach, captain Davis Love III is taking nothing for granted.
"We're excited about our position but we know, as Ollie said, it's not over yet," Love commented.
"All you can do is just go win your match and you can't think about the outcome of the day and what the other guys are doing.
"I don't want to talk about how many we need or what it's going to take to win, we just want to go play and we got one more day, for the next two years, to play Ryder Cup matches and they're going to be excited to come out and play."
The Amercian's famous Brookline win 13 years ago is also serving as a cautionary tale for Matt Kuchar, who takes on world number four Lee Westwood in the singles.
"There's a lot of memories from '99, and I think we have to know that that sort of deficit is overcomable," Kuchar said.
"We have to go out and still play some really good golf and make sure that we don't let a comeback like that happen to us."

#99 "I think a small to medium gloat is in order........ don't you think?"
Personally I prefer to leave the gloating to others, particularly when it comes to golf. Much as I love football (including the banter between fans), I would not want to see golf played in the same spirit.
With the odd exception (17th at Brookline) it is the spirit in which it is played that makes the Ryder Cup special

Kristofferson dimwits? You don't understand the meaning of the word. You can't jump on this result as your own to call others dimwits for suggesting that Olazabal was being over optimistic.
It was the brilliant play of the Europeans for turning around the result - a result which was 25 to one against by the bookmakers coming into today.
Don't be so boorish and lighten up.

Faculty Diversity
Removing the Barriers
Why do we see so little progress in diversifying faculty at America's colleges, universities, and professional schools? This book explores this important question and provides steps for hastening faculty diversity. Drawing on her extensive consultant practice and expertise as well as research and scholarship from several fields, Dr. Moody provides practical and feasible ways to improve faculty recruitment, retention, and mentorship, especially of under-represented women in science-related fields and non-immigrant minorities in all fields. The second edition of Faculty Diversity offers new insights, strategies, and caveats to the current state of faculty diversity.
This revised edition includes:
- New strategies to prevent unintended cognitive bias and errors that damage faculty recruitment and retention
- Expanded discussion on the importance of different cultural contexts, political, and historical experiences inhabited and inherited by non-immigrant faculty and students
- Increased testimonials and on-the-ground reflections from faculty, administrators, and leaders in higher education, with new attention to medical and other professional schools
- Updated Appendix with Discussion Scenarios and Practice Exercises useful to search and evaluation committees, department chairs, deans, faculty senates, and diversity councils
- Expanded chapter on mentoring that dispels myths about informal mentoring and underlines essential components for formal programs.
Moody provides an essential, reliable, and eye-opening guide for colleges, medical, and other professional schools that are frustrated in their efforts to diversify their faculty.less

Competition and Efficiency: Overseas students and technical efficiency in Australian and New Zealand Universities
Economic theory suggests that competitive pressures will impact on organisational efficiency. In recent years, universities in Australia and New Zealand have faced increased competition for students. The aim of this paper is to explore the efficiency of Australian and New Zealand public universities and to investigate the impact of competition for students from overseas on efficiency. Output distance functions are estimated using panel data for the period 1995-2002 for Australia and 1997-2003 for New Zealand. The results show that competition for overseas students has led to increased efficiency in Australian universities. However, competition for overseas students appears to have had no effect on efficiency in New Zealand.

Re: Should I upgrade to OS X Mountain Lion? in response to Kasey Solved
If you look for opinions here, of course you will only see negative reviews. This is a support forum.
1. A OS X upgrade doesn't delete anything, but you must make a backup before upgrading with Time Machine and/or Carbon Copy Cloner. If the upgrade fails and you haven't made a backup, you will lose everything.
2. If you are upgrading from OS X Lion (OS X 10.7.5 is Mac OS X Lion), most of the apps will continue working. Anyway, you should check if your applications are compatible > http://www.roaringapps.com
3. That's the upgrading myth. In my case, I haven't experienced any slow down just because of upgrading Mac OS X, but in some cases, you may notice it. Normally, it's caused because of an unsupported app or a defective upgrade.
4. Can you explain this question?

Re: Should I upgrade to OS X Mountain Lion? in response to Kasey Helpful
Hello kasey
Look for every point there is negative as well positive point.The same is with lion as well.
Look Im also on mountain lion(10.8.2)>and its very awesome and for this there several more games which 10.7. series doesnt support.
Look there is a chance of getting files deleted.So all you can do is take a backup of your data before upgrading.
Its very fast while its on.
It takes little more time in turning on as compared to 10.7, but once its on its more fast then it.
Or I will suggest is you first try the demo on apple store.In that way It will be more exact you to compare with yours..
Thank you

Re: Should I upgrade to OS X Mountain Lion? in response to Kasey
Are any of my files going to get messed up/deleted?
Not if the upgrade goes smoothly, if it doesn't due to a unknow glitch, then yes, your entire Macintosh HD partition may require erasing to fix the issue, which will also erase your files.
So you need to backup personal data off the machine before inflicting any sort of major change.
Will games/apps not work anymore?
Programs using PowerPC processor binaries old older Mac software will not run on 10.7 or 10.8 anymore, however will do so under 10.6 using the supplied Rosetta that gets installed automatically.
Some apps/games are not updated or tweaked for newer operating systems as it will cost a lot of money to do so.
Some apps will require a paid upgrade.
Will upgrading slow down my computer?
10.8 and 10.7 (and 10.5) are slower than 10.6 freshly installed on the same hardware, so yes, upgrading to 10.8 will slow your machine's performance down, less so if it's freshly installed (no other data on the hard drive.)
10.8 was designed for newer faster hardware with more features, it thus runs slower on older hardware, even slower on less powerful older hardware.
If your machine is older than 3 years and running 10.5, I say go to 10.6 and stay there.
If your running 10.6 on a machine less than two years old, then your a good candidate for 10.8.
If your running 10.7 already, then 10.8 isn't going to make too much of a difference.

Re: Should I upgrade to OS X Mountain Lion? in response to mende1
have the MacBook Pro silver 2008 model and had upgraded it to Lion 10.8. As I had upgraded to a new iMac I gave the Laptop to my wife. I had transferred via Migration assistant from her Dell running Windows Vista. Unfortunately, I messed up the user accounts due to the way in which MiG Asst suggested I had two similar names, which then caused issues with filling my 250GB hard drive. In deleting User accts and other attempts to reclaim disk space, as I was faced with problems, I backed up to external drive. Then reformatted laptop and put back the Original operation OS X disks. Unfortunately I had overlooked these were V10.5.8!
I tried to use Migration Assistant via the external backup drive, but again worried about the warning about two similar User names. I understand that my latest Lion 10.8 is on the drive, but not confident how to recover it!
Basically I want to put the Laptop back to its former state as a simple laptop for my 70 Yr old wife to understand and use with her iPad. All her original files etc are still on the Dell Vista Laptop.
Any help would be so appreciated...

Miguel Cabrera Arrested For Driving Under the InfluenceNatalie
27-year-old Miguel Cabrera, the Detroit Tigers first baseman, was arrested late Wednesday evening on suspicion of driving under the influence of alcohol and two counts of resisting an officer without violence, a Florida sheriff's office said Thursday morning.
Cabrera is married with two children. The family currently lives in Birmingham, Michigan. He and his wife Rosange have 2 daughters; Rosangel (unknown age), who is named after her mother, and Isabella, born May 26, 2010.
Cabrera was booked into the St. Lucie County, Florida, jail at 12:20 a.m. Thursday, less than an hour after the arrest. He posted bail of $1,350 and was released at 7:45 a.m. Thursday.
The arrest affidavit stated that Cabrera refused to submit to a breath test and cursed at officers. In addition to facing the misdemeanor charges, Cabrera was cited for having an open container of alcohol in the car as well.
Cabrera troubles started when a patrolling deputy found a vehicle on the side of the road, smoking from the engine compartment. He was not being cooperative. He also picked up a bottle of Scotch and began drinking from it while officers were present. A deputy on scene explained that when he arrived, Cabrera was handcuffed and "being held onto" by a third deputy. The deputy tried to put him into a police car, but Cabrera said, "Do you know who I am? You don't know anything about my problems".
In 2009, Cabrera was arrested in Birmingham, Michigan, after an argument with his wife. She told authorities he had come home drunk. Last year, Cabrera stated that he had stopped drinking. Apparently that wasn't the truth. We hope he gets the help he needs.

Perfect for fishing, relaxing, walking.

Horsley is a peaceful campsite tucked away down the end of a quiet lane. Although large, with some 130 pitches, campers are able to sit back and relax here – either watching the abundant wildlife – foxes, deer, rabbits and ducks are all regular visitors - or casting a line into the picturesque Horsley Lake – the campsite's centre piece. Day fishing is available here. The campsite has clean, modern facilities. There is a new children's play area, dog walk and a recreation room. The Horsley Jubilee Trail, starting at Horsley station, is a nine-mile circular walk taking in woods, historic buildings, great panoramas and a well-earned refreshment stop at a traditional English pub. You can enjoy more views of the area from Newlands Corner, a popular beauty sport in the Surrey Hills, just south of the campsite. For days out visit the National Trust's Polsden Lacey, a stunning Edwardian Manor House near Dorking, RHS Garden Wisely the flagship garden of the Royal Horticultural Society, and its huge plant collection, Bocketts Park Farm near Leatherhead and the Brookland Museum - home to Concorde - in Weybridge.

Grass waterlogged during our stay but we were on a hardstanding. Trees and hedgerows could do with tidying. Strange toilet block arrangement with one block no where near the camping areas, the main block could do with an upgrade although spotlessly clean. The skylight windows in it turn into giant mirrors at night that then look straight down in to the cubicles which is not nice at all, they only need stick on obscurer to stop this. Usual problem with speeding drivers and inconsiderate dirty campers. Seasonal units looked very grubby and scruffy and had obviously had their awnings up all season, is this allowed? Detracts from the otherwise beauty of the site. Nice local area and village to visit. A site of great charm and character with a few flaws!!

Sexuality is an important part of who we are as humans. Beyond the ability to reproduce, sexuality also defines how we see ourselves and how we physically relate to others. Sexual orientation is a term used to refer to a person's emotional, romantic, and sexual attraction to individuals of a particular gender (male or female).
Sexual orientation generally is divided into three categories:
Recommended Related to Sex & Relationships
By Akiba Solomon Looking for a fresh way to reconnect with your guy? Try a simple but deliciously sensual massage. "Too often, couples fast-forward to intercourse, which means they're neglecting about 80 percent of each other's bodies," says Gordon Inkeles, author of The New Sensual Massage. "Sensual massage encourages lovers to be generous with each other, to explore parts of the body that aren't overtly sexual." Here, a step-by-step guide to giving (or getting!) a totally indulgent massage.
Read the 6 Steps to a Sexy Massage article > >
- Heterosexual: attracted to individuals of the opposite sex
- Bisexual: attracted to members of either sex
- Homosexual: attracted to individuals of one's own sex
Sexual orientation involves a person's feelings and sense of identity; it may or may not be evident in the person's appearance or behavior. People may have attractions to people of the same or opposite sex, but may elect not to act on these feelings. For example, a bisexual may choose to have a monogamous (one partner) relationship with one gender and, therefore, elect not to act on the attraction to the other gender.
Why Are Some People Homosexual or Bisexual?
Most scientists today agree that sexual orientation (including homosexuality and bisexuality) is the result of a combination of environmental, emotional, hormonal, and biological factors. In other words, there are many factors that contribute to a person's sexual orientation, and the factors may be different for different people.
However, homosexuality and bisexuality are not caused by the way a child was reared by his or her parents, or by having a sexual experience with someone of the same sex when the person was young. Also, being homosexual or bisexual does not mean the person is mentally ill or abnormal in some way, although there may be social problems that result from prejudicial attitudes or misinformation.
For many people, their sexual orientation becomes evident to them during adolescence or young adulthood, and in many cases without any sexual experience. For example, homosexuals become aware that their sexual thoughts and activities focus on people of the same sex. It is possible, however, to have fantasies or to be curious about people of the same sex without being homosexual or bisexual, or choosing to act on these impulses/attractions.

The State of Sarah's Union
Palin's important speech in Nashville.
9:50 PM, Feb 6, 2010 • By MATTHEW CONTINETTI
Sarah Palin's speech to the Tea Party convention in Nashville showcased all of the former Alaska governor's strengths. She was confident, funny, down-to-earth, at times emotional--and she took a scalpel to the Obama administration and congressional Democrats. Ignore the critics who will say Palin spent too much time looking at her notes; her off-the-cuff approach and decision not to use a TelePrompTer was clearly calculated to highlight President Obama's reliance on scripted events and canned speeches.
The timing of the speech was also significant. Palin used the talk, broadcast live on Fox News Channel and C-SPAN, to respond to the president's State of the Union address from last week. Palin's mention that today is Ronald Reagan's birthday positioned her squarely among his heiresses. More interesting, Palin started off with a concentrated attack on the Obama administration's national security policies--not an issue for which the Tea Partiers are known. Palin noted that the president spent hardly any time on foreign policy during his annual report to Congress--indeed, she spent more time on our Israeli and Japanese allies, our Iranian and jihadist adversaries, and our strategic competitors than he did. And when Palin said that America needs a commander in chief, not a law professor, the crowd went wild; one was momentarily transported back to her famous speech at the 2008 Republican National Convention.
The media are playing into Palin's hands. They've used her celebrity as an excuse to cover her relentlessly even though she holds no office--and yet the attention helps her communicate to her supporters and reach out to audiences who may be giving her a second thought.
"We are the loyal opposition, and we have a vision for the future of our country, too," Palin said. She repeatedly said the Tea Party movement does not need a leader. But is there an American politician who inspires such enthusiasm from her supporters (and her detractors)? And isn't that a unique strength in a polarized age in which the ideological stakes are so high?

From antiquity to the Enlightenment, astrology, magic, and alchemy were considered important tools to unravel the mysteries of nature and human destiny. As a result of the West's exposure during the Middle Ages to the astrological beliefs of Arab philosophers and the mystical writings of late antiquity, these occult traditions became rich sources of inspiration for Western artists.
This volume presents a careful analysis of occult iconography in many of the great masterpieces of Western art, calling out key features in the illustrations for discussion and interpretation. Astrological symbols decorated medieval churches and illuminated manuscripts as well as fifteenth-century Italian town halls and palaces. The transformational symbology of magic and alchemy that enlivened the work of a wide range of Renaissance artists, including Bosch, Bruegel, Durer, and Caravaggio, found renewed expression in the visionary works of nineteenth-century artists, such as Fuseli and Blake, as well as in the creative output of the twentieth century's Surrealists.

Low-earners in Los Angeles rally to demand higher minimum wages
The report added that the top low-wage employers in the US return billions of dollars to their shareholders annually."Without us, they (major companies) wouldn't have any money, so we are their money, we are their costumers, and we buy things. Without us they wouldn't be them," said one protester. However, business organizations have expressed their opposition to increasing the minimum wage, saying that the move could reduce the number of available jobs. This comes as activists have called for a raise in the minimum wage to at least 10 dollars an hour to secure a real recovery of the US economy. In June, Latino labor leaders in Los Angeles complained that workers at major retailers like Wal-Mart had to work in hazardous conditions for very low wages. MR/PKH/HJL
