|Program Description:
Costa Rica offers students a challenging academic travel through breathtaking scenery, stirring cultural immersion, immense biodiversity, and a variety of exhilarating events. Through classroom activities and excursions, students have the opportunity to walk in tropical rainforest canopies, visit coffee plantations and hike along the gorgeous beaches of Costa Rica.
The program begins at the Arenal Volcano and then moves San Marcos de Tarrazu where students meet their host families. KIIS Costa Rica continues with a four day visit to the beaches of the Osa Peninsula on the Pacific Ocean. This area is home to monkeys, sloths, scarlet macaws, iguanas, turtles and dolphins. The program continues in the rural town of Colorado with a trip to an organic farm, school visits, palm plantations and a day on Zancudo Beach. Finally, the program ends in the Central Valley in the nation's capital city of San Jose.
Please note: No Spanish is required for this program (all instruction is in English, with the exception of the two lower-intermediate Spanish-language courses). Students wishing to take the lower-intermediate Spanish courses must have at least 6 hours of college-level Spanish (or the equivalent) at time of departure. The KIIS Costa Rica is a physically challenging study abroad option that requires strenuous hiking in heat and humidity.

Afraid of Our Own Bodies
I was just reading an article over on some site called Komo News, and it was all about how we have to disinfect our work areas when we eat because there is so much bacteria on and around our desk that we run the risk of infection. Am I the only one who thinks this is insane?? Since when did we have to start being afraid of everything around us, including our own hands?
How many times have I eat day-old chicken that has been left out over night? How many times have I eaten week-old chicken in the refridgerator? How many times have eaten something that has dropped on the floor? How many times to go from holding the subway pole to picking something out of my teeth or pulling a hair off of my tongue? How many times have I run my tongue between my girlfriend's dirty, jammy toes?
And how many times have I come down with some really bad flu or infection? Ummm, Never! It's not the stuff around us that is bad! It's not our bodies that are gross! People need to get a life.
Here endeth the rant.

The Story of No. 3 Wing
Royal Naval Air Service
1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - 5
9722 (Newberry and Rees) engaged a Roland, upon which Rees fired a drum with no result noted. Flt/Cdr. Draper and AM Allen in 9407 also were kept busy....
Left with 'A' Flight No.1 Squadron. Got left very much behind about half way owing to engine running very badly. Enemy biplane sighted on port bow. Went in pursuit opening fire immediately to which the enemy replied. Fired about sixty rounds at him continuosly until he dived to earth. While watching his descent I was attacked from the rear by three enemy biplanes who were diving at me. Passenger did not open fire as he thought they were Sopwiths, so I dived about 1000 ft. and then turned climbing again. Enemy machines also dived and passenger open fire after we flattened out. It is doubtful whether they were hit at all as range was long. Two other machines were sighted in the distance and very high up, but owing to engine running badly I decided to return. [Flt/Cdr. C. Draper, fighter 9407]
All the aircraft returned safely, although F/S/L G. S. Harrower was originally posted as missing. He had become lost, and not wanting to land in German territory he flew west until he was sure he was beyond the German lines. However due to the strength of the wind he was carried well beyond Ochey and eventually crash-landed near Dijon - over 100 miles from Ochey. On 12 November 1916 the blast furnaces at St.Ingbert were raided by nine bombers and seven fighters. Once again all aircraft returned safely with a typical report being that of F/S/L Macgregor flying bomber 9733...
Nothing of importance happened, either going out or on the return journey. When I dropped my bombs, I could see no other machines in the air, so I came back alone. [F/S/L N. M. Macgregor, bomber 9733]
The weather returned to its previous dismal self and operational flying was once again on hold. In the meantime Harrower continued his adventure in Dijon.
On Nov 20, while making a forced landing near Dijon, my machine crashed into and killed a horse! I was coming into a very suitable field, quite low, and saw some horses in a corner of the field opposite and well away from the spot I had picked to land. When just about to make the landing I perceived a horse galloping towards the machine, so altered course as much as possible, but the horse must have been mad with fright and headed straight for the machine. There was not sufficent speed to bring the machine over the horse, or height to turn. So my only course was to keep on trusting that the horse would turn off, but this unfortunately did not not happen, the result being that the machine struck the horse and killed it. It was an unfortunate affair but one which under the circumstances could not be avoided. [F/S/L G. S. Harrower]
The aggrieved farmer put in a claim for damages because the unfortunate mare, Mademoiselle de Machefein, was about to foal, and since the sire was a champion and Mademoiselle de Machefein was related to eight other winners and had herself won 12,000 francs in prize money, he had expected to get 10,000 francs for her.
23 November 1916 dawned foggy, and preparations were made to carry out a raid. However a flight to test the weather conditions at 1:30 P.M. showed the weather still hadn't cleared in the valleys and the raid was cancelled. Flt/Cdr. Draper then asked permission for himself and the other fighters to carry out a patrol along the line near Nancy and Luneville. They set out five strong, but F/L Feeny and F/S/L Collishaw had to return due to engine problems. The three remaining aircraft of Draper, F/L C. B. Dalison and F/S/L L. E. Smith then ran into two enemy aircraft and Draper along with his gunlayer SLt. Barker, flying in 9722, brought one down, later confirmed by a French observation post.
The weather continued fine on the 24th of November and nine bombers and seven fighters set off for the blast furnaces at Dillingen. Two enemy aircraft attacked the fighters of Draper/Barker (9407) and F.L Dalison/SLt. Fraser (9739).
Two enemy aircraft attacked No.16, Flt/Cdr Draper, and myself in turn. My Gunlayer Sub Lieut Fraser emptied a tray and a half into one machine, the other left the fight. The first machine was then tackled by No.16, and he finally dived straight at me. I stalled slightly to get my front gun at him, and was able to fire 100 rounds or so right into his engine and fuselage from point blank. An explosive bullet hit the centre section, a splinter hitting the top of my leg. He passed a few feet above my top plane and then wavered, spun and dived and I observed him fall to bits in the air before hitting the ground over a wood NE of Delmo. [F/L C. B. Dalison, fighter 9739]
Another line patrol was flown on 3 December 1916 at the request of the French who had reported German aircraft over the front. Seven fighters went up and four engaged the enemy. The fighter of F/S/L R. F. Redpath/SLt. Lemon was attacked by a 'small fast two-seater, presumably a Roland.'
The preferred state for the Breguet V. Shown here is 9196 with the personnel being unidentified. (P. Breille via J.M. Bruce/G.S. Leslie Collection.
The enemy and my observer opened fire about same time. Whilst Observer was changing pans my petrol pipe and elevator control were hit by explosive bullets, the damage to the pipe putting the machine out of commission. I immediately dived towards lines, followed by enemy shooting all the time until I was within 1,500 Ft of ground. my observer endeavoured to continue fire with Lewis Gun and should have done some damage had not the gas regulator key come adrift. Landed at Aman, about 3 or 4 miles in French ground at 12:10, and was able to bring my machine back after lunch. [F/S/L R. F. Redpath, fighter 9730]
As a result of this experience Redpath recommended that: the hand air pump be changed to a more accessible position; that the Lewis gun be examined with a view to adequately securing the gas regulator key; that the front gun be speeded up to give it a higher rate of fire, more in line with that of the German fighters; that Sopwith fighters should have 130 h.p. Clerget engines as their performance is not good enough against the present German fighters; finally, that future fighting patrols should send the aircraft off in pairs and stay together. 9722 flown by F/L Newberry and F/S/L Burden engaged a two-seater Aviatik. As Newberry's report states they also had problems with the rear Lewis.
A two-seater Aviatik was sighted approaching from Nancy and it was engaged by stalling the machine in order to get the front gun up the extra 500 ft. of altitude. The Lewis was out of action due to the gas regulator key and foresight being lost. About 200 rounds were fired the enemy replying from the rear seat, but with very little effect on either side. Eventually we attained the height of the enemy and fired, these shots appeared to take effect, and the enemy turned sharp left and disappeared NE. [F/L C.B. Newberry, fighter 9722]
On 27 December 1916, the weather over Ochey cleared enough to allow operations to resume. The blast furnaces at Dillingen were once again to be the objective for the 11 bombers and five fighters starting out. The fighter of F/L Dalison broke its propeller on taking off, while F/S/Ls Edwards and Glen both returned due to engine trouble. Over Dillingen itself, the target was obscured by clouds and haze so it was impossible to observe the results of the 2340 lbs. of bombs dropped. Flying bomber 9742 was F/S/L R. F. Redpath.
Reached Dillingen alright. Very cloudy over objective and accurate bomb dropping was very difficult, but I think all bombs hit target, although I could not see enough to mark any bomb bursts. There was not much anti-aircraft fire over lines. The anti-aircraft at objectives was very good. I did not see any hostile machines. [F/S/L R. F. Redpath, bomber 9742]
Once again all aircraft returned safely. Although in some accounts Collishaw is reported to have been shot down, his report that day states...
Left Ochey at 12.40 p.m. on December 27th with 1st Squadron as fighter. My machine had more power than the bombers so I was able to manoeuvre anywhere. Crossed the lines at 11,000 ft. in formation. Some shelling when over the lines. We then passed over some clouds with clear patches to guide our path. It was a long trip out against a strong wind, but the target was quite visible. I followed FSL Shearer down to 6,000 ft. at the objective and observed the bombs strike within the objective from his machine. On our way home I flew alongside Squadron Commander Rathborne and noticed a hostile machine off to one side, but he did not close. Returned in formation to Ochey at 2.45 p.m. [F/S/L R. Collishaw, fighter 9667]
The New Year found a continuation of the bad weather and it wasn't until 23 January 1917 that it cleared sufficiently to allow operations to resume. However the temperature had plummeted and this brought about delays, with many of the aircraft suffering engine failures or not starting at all. This threw the flight crews into confusion since they were having trouble forming up. Further, they had just been reorganized, and many of them hadn't had the chance to fly together yet, with the result that only 16 of the 24 aircraft starting out reached the blast furnaces at Burbach. In addition to the aircraft, the crews themselves suffered from the cold with five of the airmen being severely frost-bitten despite being well-greased with whale oil.
Ran into another machine on ground, damaging my own, started up with another bomber, and at 4,000 ft. or so had engine trouble, siezing (sic) up. Managed to reach airfield by gliding. [F/S/L J. E. Sharman, bombers 9724 & N5124]
Was delayed in getting off the ground, and was unable to pick up flight. [F/S/L S. T. Edwards, bomber 9706]
Trouble starting engine, could not keep up with flight so I turned back at Nancy. [F/S/L W. E. Flett, bomber N5126] "Was unable to start engine. [F/S/L Keens, bomber N5198]
F/S/L Les Parker was one of the few men in the RNAS to pilot a Breguet V on an operational flight when he fley 9175 on the 12 October 1916 raid on Oberndorf. Note the flight marking on the side of 9179. (J.M. Bruce/G.S. Leslie collection)
Of the remaining aircraft, ten bombers reached Burbach and found the weather to be clear and felt that considerable damage was done by the 2,600 lbs of bombs dropped.
Strong N.E. wind, quite cold at 10,000 Ft. A.A. at lines not excessive. A.A. at target fired after we had dropped our bombs. Target very large and excellent, could hardly be missed. Observed two huns but they did not come in. [F/L G. G. MacLennan, bomber 9669]
Kept with flight right to objective, then descending to 8000 Ft. dropped bombs. Turned to see, but could not observe explosion. Visibility good over objective. [F/S/L Walker, bomber N5107]
The German fighter force was found to be in larger numbers than previously reported, with nine aircraft having combats.
On return engaged a small machine which we believe was a Halberstadt Scout, and a much faster machine than a Sopwith. After a lively fight the German machine made off. Pursuit was futile on account of its great speed. [F/S/L McNeil, fighter 5174]
McNeil's observer, Sub.Lt. Pearkes was frustrated by repeated jamming of his Lewis gun and found the size of the ammunition drum to be a disadvantage.
Again it was demonstrated how useless are the small trays of ammunition on the Lewis Gun in a fight with an enemy machine, as the enemy is continually firing whilst the trays are being changed on the Lewis Gun, and owing to the great cold it is frequently hard to change a tray quickly. Cheeks and nose were frostbitten. [Sub.Lt Pearkes, fighter N5174]
Flying in fighter 9730 was F/S/L R. Collishaw.
When the flight was over Wallersburg railway junction I noticed one of our flight of ten going towards the earth in a spiral, and thought it to be one of our machines until I counted our flight and came to the correct number, so concluded it must be an enemy machine. Not long afterwards a small machine resembling a Baby Nieuport closed our flight, and proceeded to attack him, but after a short series of manoeuvering he went off the southward. [F/S/L R. Collishaw, fighter 9730]
Perhaps the spinning aircraft seen by Collishaw was a victim of one of the other fighters flying as escort to 'B' flight, No.1 Sqdn... For F/L Dalison/AM Pinchen also had a combat with 'Nieuports'.
Accompanied 'B' Flight Red Squadron to Burbach as fighter... On return journey was attacked by two German Nieuports. These machines were only marked on the rudder, whilst the fuselage was painted brown and green like a French Nieuport, the only difference being the shape of the engine cowling. Pilots should take especial note of this as they are very easily mistaken for French machines. Both machines withdrew after a short fight during which the German machines fired a lot, and we fired about 150 rounds from my front gun, and about two trays from the back. It is thought that one was badly hit. The cold was intense. [F/L C. B. Dalison, fighter N5173]
Sopwith bomber 9660 had been delivered to No. 3 Wing on 6 July 1916 and was lost with F/S/L Charles Butterworth on the 12 October 1916 raid on Oberndorf. Unlike most other Sopwith 1 1/2 Strutters of No. 3 Wing, 9660 had its wing and tailplane uppersurfaces finished in PC10, with the fuselage being left in plain fabric. Also note roundel proportions.

The Spring 2016 issue opens with "Eclipsing the Enemy over the Western Front: A History of Escadrille102" by the late F.W. Bailey, Jon Guttman and Peter Kilduff (issue editor). These noted authors collaborated in researching, translating and writing this record of a noteworthy French escadrille's activities throughout the course of World War I. The unit's personnel, bases and principal achievements are carefully reviewed and presented in full along with a number of rare images that help complete the tale of Escadrille 102.
Douglas Lantry, PhD, a curator in the Research Division at the National Museum of the US Air Force in Dayton OH, offers a sampling of the works produced by a French aviator and artist in "A New Art is Born – the Aviation Art of Henri Farré at the National Museum of the US Air Force 2014-2015." Farré served on the front lines with Escadrille VB 101, and it was from his experiences there that he created over 100 portraits of the dawn of aerial warfare and the men who participated in it. As Lantry notes in his conclusion: "The body of Henri Farré's aviation art is important because it presented – with great skill, vision, and sensitivity – a new perspective to an audience unfamiliar with the reality of aerial warfare, and because the work's subject and style signifies the transition from the sensibilities of the 19th century to the emergent realities of the 20th."
Steve Suddaby, Javier Arango and Kimball Worcester take a different approach in "SPAD VII & XIII Aircraft of Escadre 1: New Research with a Statistical View of Fighter Operations." Rather than concentrate on a few individual pilots, the authors collected data on an entire fighter wing's activities over a three-month period in the summer of 1918 to examine how it used its aircraft and what resulted from that use. The goal was to offer a new way of analyzing World War I fighter aircraft operations and the challenges they faced.
League member emeritus, Stewart K. Taylor, contributes his biography of a Canadian pilot in "Röth's 19th: Lt T.C. Martin, 85 Squadron, RAF – Part I." It is an in-depth look into the life of a young man who answered the "call of the air" and did his duty before joining the ranks of the world's millions who gave their lives for their country. Martin's career, spanning from his training days to his death at the hands of Germany's ace, Friedrich 'Fritz' von Röth, is given full treatment and is accompanied by photos originating from family albums. Part II of this biography will appear in a future issue.
Peter Kilduff's "Bombers over the Southern Rhine" concludes the issue. It is a study of the efforts carried out by Entente Powers to bomb targets in western Germany and the German military's response to such incursions. Beginning with French raids on military objectives at Müllheim, Düsseldorf and Cologne, bombing runs were later expanded to include civilian centers after German attacks on Paris and Reims. The British joined in as well and conducted the final air raid of the war when one machine from No.55 Squadron, RAF, dropped a handful of bombs on Bensdorf Railway Station on 9 November 1918 – the day Kaiser Wilhelm abdicated.

Will the Supreme Court krackle for Kirby?
When Kirby co-created these characters with the likes of Joe Simon and Stan Lee, he was toiling for Marvel (formerly Timely) Comics in a work-for-hire situation. This distinction is at the crux of the legal matter here.
Sherlock in the public domain? Elementary… or not…
The estate of the late author contends that, since the later stories do a great deal to flesh out the Holmes character, the copyright protection should extend until the last Holmes story enters the public domain (sometime in 2022). This would have essentially extended copyright protection over the character to...

Bayer recently moved to cancel Belmora's registration at the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board, arguing that Belmora's use of FLANAX here in the U.S. was a "blatant" attempt to confuse Latin American consumers.

DOJ to review 'competitive concerns' with music-fee licensing system
Thanks to streaming music services such as Pandora, Spotify and others, music artists are seeing income from a variety of new sources, not just (declining) record sales.

Hey folks,
I've been browsing the net for a while and ran across www.torrentz.com
Essentially what they do is search a number of other reputable torrent sites and index the results on their site. Its pretty amazing that the site doesn't have any of its own content but is able to grab 1 million unique visitors on a daily basis. Does anyone know what tools/methods they would use to accomplish this?
Would they grab data from other sites databases or rss feeds? Is xml relevent at all to accomplishing this? I've also been looking into sphinx as a meta-searching tool.

I was born and raised on a dairy farm in Morse Bluff, Neb., (pop. 128) where there was never a shortage of milk, cows or company (8 siblings). On a whim at 18, I moved to New York to be a nanny.

At AccuQuilt, I'm the Marketing Director but I am also known as the 'Master of All Creative'. I literally eat, sleep and breathe GO! green. When not at work, I've been known to design children's books, partake in local art projects and of course, I quilt too!

I've worked at AccuQuilt for 2 years, and would love to give you a tour of our facility. I have been quilting for about 15 years, and I'm hooked! One of my most precious treasures is a quilt that my great-grandmother and her sisters made. The pattern is Grandmother's Flower Garden and is completely pieced and quilted by hand. I'm married and have 2 sons. All my guys are amazing artists, and both my sons love soccer. Being on the sidelines, yelling for my boys, is one of my favorite things!

Favorite Quilt Block - Stretched Star
I am originally from Massachusetts. I got my Bachelor's degree in Information Systems at UMass Dartmouth. I have been in Omaha for almost 5 years now. I enjoy managing the IS for AccuQuilt, and getting to work with a great group of people.
Once upon a time, back in 2008, AccuQuilt branched from its parent company AccuCut to cater exclusively to quilters. They wished to create a company culture that truly reflected the diversity of quilting.
AccuQuilt employees were a part of this creative movement. Many were seasoned quilters and if not already bitten by the quilting bug, they soon would be, as employees were asked to quilt for two hours each week.
AccuQuilt recently moved into a new castle in Omaha, Nebraska (though some merely described it as an extraordinary workplace). It was a quilter's dream come true with a museum-quality gallery of rotating fabric arts exhibits and a state-of-the-art quilting studio.
They wanted to share their quilting knowledge through educational resources, quilting events and social media so AccuQuilt hosted Barn Quilt Contests and Let's GO! Quilting Retreats. They thought it was the perfect way to mix business with pleasure and the quilters around the world who submitted designs and flocked to the retreats agreed.
And the AccuQuilt employees were happy. They felt as though the company was a family, a tight-knit group of quilting enthusiasts who loved what they did and took great pride in helping others create fabric masterpieces.
But that isn't the end of the AccuQuilt tale.
AccuQuilt continues to spread the joy of quilting by offering friendly and knowledgeable customer service, educational opportunities, facility tours, events and a line of quilting products that help customers make truly magical creations. As long as there are quilters, there is never an end to the story.
AccuQuilt - Quilting happily ever after.

Eithťa is the story of Shou Niimi, an ordinary high school boy whose life is unexpectedly disrupted when a violent earthquake strikes his school. Shou and a few classmates and teachers find themselves transported into the mysterious world of Eithťa.
Of course, Eithťa features one of those oddly-named game concepts, the LAV (Latent Ability Voltage). When a character is happy, he/she gets stronger while if that character gets unhappy, he/she becomes weaker. The LAV meter is influenced by events and battles. Conversations play an important part in the game. The game's characters will sometimes ask you for opinions or advice, and you will get the opportunity to choose an answer or ignore the question -- these features give a certain dating sim touch to the game.
You can check out 15 screen shots from Eithťa here, and take a look at 7 pieces of the game's beautiful artwork here!

| wantingdoom chapter 10 . 7/3
Please please update soon! This is getting interesting, i cant wait to see what will unfold! -
| kwiksilvr chapter 10 . 2/29
Love. More please!
| Joemon8 chapter 10 . 11/9/2015
The minute I saw there was an update for this I immediately jumped on it harder than anything I've ever tackled before. For not having an update in so long I'm surprised I remember so much, but I guess that's what a good story does; it leaves a mark in your head. I missed this so much! I love it
As always I can't wait for more!
It's kind of weird though that I used to read this when I was a little high school guy and now I'm a college guy... Feels weird..
| sasadu2701 chapter 10 . 11/9/2015
Hello !
First of all : I am sorry for my poor English, I am French and I don't really have a big English vocabulary.
I wanted to say that I really like your story ! I was really surprised when I understood that Merlin had Magic. It makes the story so much more interesting that way !
I can not wait to read what will happen next !
How will Arthur will find out about Merlin?
Will Lancelot choose Merlin or Gwen ? (Well with Merlin's feelings about Arthur I hope that il will choose Gwen at the end... I don't really mind if he try to go out with Merlin until he discovers that Merlin is in love with Arthur... :p )
I like Morgana and Gwen and I really want them to meet !
I am a little sad that Balinor is not a good father... Or at least that's what seems to be...
I am wondering : Where is Hunith ?
I can't wait to read the next chapter !
| naughtynati chapter 10 . 11/5/2015
Loved it! And what did you mean this chapter wasn't action packed...Merlin is out of control and Arthur came twice :)
| mersan123 chapter 10 . 11/4/2015
As a first time reader of the story, I am enjoying Merlin being roomed with Arthur. He needs to watch himself though.
Hope to see more chapters soon.
Many thanks.
| Yabbit chapter 9 . 7/21/2014
Excellent writing. Can't wait for another chapter.
| MerlinFan chapter 9 . 12/28/2013
Awwww I can't wait till the next chapter that will hopefully be pressure
| AllieOfGreenGables chapter 9 . 11/7/2013
This is great. I can't wait to see more. Please update soon!
| Guest chapter 9 . 8/1/2013
I liked it.
| Stephen chapter 9 . 7/31/2013
Hey, I've been following this fic since the beginning and just thought that this is absolutely my favorite fic EVER. I love the way the story is progressing so far. And can't wait for the next update.
| littleking3125 chapter 9 . 7/30/2013
I really liked this chapter and I'm eager to know what happened to Juliet, what Lance was looking at and rushed off to address, who this Jonathan kid is, when Morgana and Gwen meet, and when will Merlin realize that Arthur has a thing for him. My guess when Gwen and him were talking was Lance likes Gwen and only Gwen. He pretends to be bi (or maybe really is) but actually he's checking Merlin out for Arthur's sake. There's a lot on your plate but take all the time you need! To be honest, I read this story so long ago...or at least I think it was the same story. I can't really tell, it's been awhile and my memory gets fuzzy...Anywho, this story is great and the character relationships are very fleshed out. Thanks for the story thus-far!
| JTURNING chapter 9 . 7/26/2013
Please update soon I hate this thing called waiting! I do it all the time I find it a drag! This is too good not to have regular updates
| Maxine101 chapter 9 . 7/20/2013
I like this story. I find it particularly refreshing that the kiss in the last chapter resulted in Arthur freaking out (although the return kiss was cool) in a realistic way. I also like all the clever banter. It's harder than hell to get people into witty banter, so its cool to see someone else who gets it (seriously... a bayonet up the ass..)
| Joemon8 chapter 9 . 7/16/2013
It's back. It's finally back. That is all I can think about now. This is seriously on my Top 5 favorite stories OF ALL TIME. I freakin' love it. Keep this going because there is no way it could get better, but I'm sure you'll find a way. I totally ship Merlin and Lance now and I totally don't mind if they stay together ;) ;) HINT HINT

Better news for Howard, Sacre steps in
Fantasy owners wondering about Dwight Howard's status received some reassurance from D12 himself. Prior to Tuesday's game with the Houston Rockets, Howard clarified the extent of his shoulder injury. He said that the labrum wasn't torn, but partially separated from the bone. He added that he'll be re-evaluated early next week and hopes to return soon thereafter. Under that timetable, Howard will miss at least three more games.
Robert Sacre, a rookie who had been playing in D-League, took Howard's starting spot against the Rockets. In 28 minutes, the 7-footer from Gonzaga finished with 10 points and four blocks. In large leagues of at least 14 teams, Sacre could provide a short-term infusion of rejections, but don't expect Larry Sanders-type production. In his final three collegiate seasons, Sacre averaged 1.9, 1.9 and 1.4 blocks.
Pau Gasol (concussion) was ruled out for Tuesday. He'll be re-evaluated Thursday.
Looking Back
• Scott Skiles is gone, and Ersan Ilyasova just might be back. Consider Ilyasova the top fantasy free agent available now that interim coach Jim Boylan is running the Milwaukee Bucks. Making his first start since Nov. 24, Ilyasova recorded 12 points, six rebounds, four assists, a couple of 3-pointers and a pair of steals against the Phoenix Suns. Though he played only 26 minutes, he was saddled with five fouls. Figure he'll get more playing time going forward. He's still available in about 48 percent of ESPN.com leagues. Meanwhile, despite his 12-point, 11-rebound effort, I'd downgrade John Henson, who saw just 19 minutes against the Suns as the backup power forward. Things could change, but for now I'm guessing the rookie will be limited to 15-20 minutes a night behind Ilyasova.
• Steve Nash became just the fifth NBA player to record 10,000 career assists, joining John Stockton, Jason Kidd, Mark Jackson and Magic Johnson. From a fantasy perspective, Nash has been reliable and surprisingly durable (at least until this season). Over the previous eight seasons, starting with his return to the Suns in 2004-05, Nash has never had fewer than 9.7 assists or shot less than 49.2 percent from the field or 88.7 percent from the line. As for the durability factor, over his previous 11 seasons, Nash missed just 41 games total. Injuries have cost him 25 games this season.
Looking Ahead
• After missing four games with back spasms, Ricky Rubio is expected to play on consecutive days for the first time this season when the Minnesota Timberwolves visit the Oklahoma City Thunder. Rubio went scoreless against the Atlanta Hawks on Tuesday, but contributed eight assists and four steals in 19 minutes.
• I guess I called it about three weeks early, but Carlos Delfino is starting to emerge off the Rockets' bench. After racking up 19 points and five triples against the Lakers on Tuesday, the statistically volatile Delfino is averaging 14.8 points, 3.8 3s and 1.4 steals over his past five. On Wednesday, the Rockets visit the New Orleans Hornets, one of seven NBA teams that allows at least 8.0 3-pointers per game.
• If you're digging for 3s in a deep league, Alan Anderson is another option. Though he's just a 38.7 percent shooter for the season, Anderson went for 27 points on 10 of 14 shooting against the Thunder on Jan. 6. He's averaging 2.5 treys over his past 10 games and should again play big minutes off the bench for a Toronto Raptors team that could be without Terrence Ross (ankle). The Raptors host the weary Philadelphia 76ers, who are playing their eighth road game (and ninth game overall) in the past 15 days.
• Rajon Rondo (suspension) is set to return for the Boston Celtics, who host the Suns. I'll be interested to see how the recently returned Avery Bradley fares in this one. With Rondo out against the New York Knicks on Jan. 7, Bradley played 33 minutes, finishing with 13 points and five assists in just his fourth game of the season.

Social Problems: A World at Risk / Edition 1by George J. Bryjak, George J. Bryjak
Pub. Date: 12/28/1994
Publisher: Allyn & Bacon, Inc.
Social problems run the gamut from family crises to global crises. While it is difficult to identify and isolate the exact causes of social problems such as family violence, global poverty, and environmental depletion, it is even more difficult to develop policies and programs that will effectively put an end to them. Using a cross-cultural perspective, this book considers various ways that we can hope to solve these social problems in the U.S. and other societies. The book is divided into three parts: 1) Individual and Family-Level Problems looks at the immediate and primary impacts of social problems on individuals and small groups; 2) Societal-Level Problems examines problems of work, education, inequalities of race, ethnicity, and gender; and 3) Global-Level Problems looks at problems that affect humanity at large, rather than in one society or region alone. Social workers, social policy analysts,
