DNA Barcoding Initiative for Conservation
DNA barcoding has been proposed as an important advance in molecular biology for rapidly and cost-efficiently using a short reference sequence of DNA to help catalog and inventory biodiversity. It is designed to provide an agreed-upon framework for an applied approach to cataloging species and to making the information available to managers and decision makers as well as the scientific community.
By combining well-established molecular biology techniques with emerging developments in bioinformatics, DNA barcoding offers the opportunity to transform the way in which society uses biodiversity information. DNA barcoding methods have wide-ranging applications to help protect biodiversity against such threats as human-caused (anthropogenic) changes in the environment and the pervasive illegal commercial trade in animals and animal products.
Endangered species that could benefit from a DNA barcoding approach include commercially hunted wildlife, wildlife consumed for the traditional medicine trade, rare species collected for private living collections, and unsustainable harvesting for other wildlife products.
Active DNA barcoding projects include:
•barcode reference libraries for larger groups of protected species recommended by an international advisory committee
•bushmeat trade in Africa
•shark fin trade in Madagascar
•Southeast Asian freshwater turtles and tortoises
•characterization of species involved in current proposals for protection under CITES
Part of the Initiative's responsibilities is to organize outreach to regulatory and enforcement agencies responsible for endangered species protection, NGOs and international governing organizations, as well as the training of enforcement officials in the use of DNA barcoding.
The DNA Barcoding Initiative for Conservation is funded by the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation and the Richard Lounsberry Foundation.

Brantley Gilbert and Jana Kramer: Splitsville?
Listen to Brantley Gilbert on iHeartRadio | Listen to Jana Kramer on iHeartRadio
(Yahoo!) - Everyone loves a cute country couple, and engaged sweethearts Brantley Gilbert and Jana Kramer seemed poised to be the next Nashville husband-and-wife power team. Alas, it seems that will not happen: The pair have allegedly broken up.
A report from People on Thursday noted that a source confirmed the split, explaining, "They are both so busy right now...They are both on the road and have to spend a lot of time apart, which isn't ideal for any couple, let alone a couple trying to plan a wedding."
Gilbert's camp had no comment on the report; meanwhile, as of posting time, Kramer's rep had not responded to a request for more information. However, it sounds as if the matter was overall amicable, with no foul play or third parties involved.
Gilbert and Kramer announced their engagement in January, after confirming they were dating in September 2012. The pair charmed fans a few short months later by competing head-to-head in the new artist category at April's Academy of Country Music Awards(both lost to duo Florida Georgia Line).
At that time, Gilbert told us that he and the former "One Tree Hill" actress had set their wedding date (he declined to reveal it), and that they were doing very well indeed. "We're both just really happy," he noted. "In the beginning, [our relationship] was kind of under the radar. So we like being out, being able to hold hands and not have to hide it anymore. There's no agenda to be, like, anything. Our relationship is what it is."

Students of the Capital Children Museum's Options Public Charter School Graduate from GSA's Summer Learning Program Alma Powell keynotes, says to students, 'You are the masters of your fate'
August 7, 1997
Contact: Hap Connors
Connie Wehmann
(202) 501-1231
WASHINGTON -- At a ceremony this morning, Alma Powell, wife of Gen. Colin Powell, and David J. Barram, Administrator of the U.S. General Services Administration, presented graduation certificates to students of the Capital Children Museum's Options Public Charter School, who completed a model summer program titled "Spend Time with America's Youth" (STAY).
Eight young women - between the ages of 11 and 15 - received certificates for their participation in the program, which was created by GSA and the Department of Interior as a model learning program to serve students of the Options Public Charter School - the adopted school of GSA's central office in Washington, DC - in response to President Clinton's Summit for America's Future held in April. Earlier this year, GSA contributed surplus federal computers to the school's computer lab as part of the President's "computers-to-schools" initiative.
The students met with mentors and guest speakers three days a week for six weeks. Sessions in computer programming, writing and language skills were key components of the program. Weekly field trips to historic and culturally significant places in the Washington area were also part of the program.
"You are the masters of your fate," Powell, who is Chairman of the National Council of the "Best Friends" Foundation, told the students in remarks at the ceremony. "You must dream big dreams and then work for them. And remember, you have people - like the mentors you had this summer - who are ready to help make those dreams happen."
Barram, who volunteered as a mentor, said the program had three objectives:
� to provide strong, consistent role models to foster personal development and increase self-esteem;
� to improve communications and interpersonal skills; and
� to instill a desire for learning.
He said that a critical part of the STAY program was its design as a "village of support" comprised of mentors, GSA program managers and technical specialists, interns, tutors, parents and the Options School staff.
Barram said that positive feedback from the parents, students and school officials has encouraged GSA officials to extend the program through the fall semester.

Best Of :: Shopping & Services
Country Roads is in the traditional style of the old-school Old Towne Orange antique shops—sprawling, haphazard, with the average customer long past Leisure World's minimum age limit. But it's in this sprawl you find treasure after treasure, from the small (rare figurines from the Civil War era) to the humongous (tables, armoirs, ironworks—about the only things not here are cars). Besides, how can you not love a place named after the greatest John Denver song not called "Rocky Mountain High"?
Family-owned auto shops are still the way to go in a world of EZ Lube drive-thrus and the Walmart-ification of car work. Adolfo Lopez runs Excel Auto Care in Lake Forest, and his crew can get you in and out pretty quickly, whether you need a new muffler or work on your catalytic converter. His guys—Sergio, Hector and Alex—know their nuts, so if your hooptie needs a tune-up, push it into their shop. And say hi to Hoss, the bulldog. Just don't do finger-guns on him: An otherwise friendly fella, that's the one thing that gets him riled up. Oh, and call ahead, as the place is always hopping with cars. The not-well-kept secret of this shop's great service has gotten out over the years.
Pound for pound, there are probably more vintage Volkswagens—split-window Kombis and Squarebacks, sleek Kharmann Gias and boxy Things, and Bugs upon Bugs upon Bugs—in Orange County than anywhere in the United States, driven by surf bums and weekend warriors alike. But the damn things break down similar to a subprime loan, so a good mechanic is a must. And while OC does have more than a few specialists, the true VW enthusiast knows the best repair shop is down Imperial Highway in Downey at Al's VW. Not only do Alfredo Reyna and his crew specialize solely in Volkswagen engines and offer quick service at affordable prices, but their shop is also located in a sea of VW specialists—paint jobs, sound systems, bodywork and the like. And Al's is just minutes away from Bill and Steve's, the Southland's ultimate original VW parts store, which VW owners already visit because their damn love always breaks down.
For sneakerheads, finding a rare pair of kicks is akin to stumbling upon the Hope Diamond. And in OC, there's no greater treasure chest than Attic, a streetwear shop on steroids across from Knott's Berry Farm. Inside the industrial-warehouse-like space, limited-edition and vintage sneakers are displayed on a mechanical conveyor belt for fanboys to salivate over. Gems have ranged from the Air Max Infrared Hyperfuse to the Foamposite Pro Gym Green to the Hundreds Selvedge Denim Johnson. But get 'em while you can—new releases come and go as quickly as the Space Shuttle Endeavor. And if you happen to notice a line of hipsters wrapped around the store, move those stylin' feet fast.
Hipster or hippie, gangster or gamine, everyone wants a hoppin' sound system for their transportation, be it a lowrider, Lexus or Vespa. Bristol Sound, off—you guessed it!—Bristol Street in Santa Ana, can service all of those vehicles, transforming even the lowliest, oldest car into a movable concert. It sells all the great stereo systems; offers more speakers than there are stars in the sky; and works fast, honestly and cheaply. And the staff will assist you in shaping your stereo needs, whether you want the lush sounds of classical music to dominate or want a bass level that'll turn your bones into pebbles.
Believe it or not, traditional barber shops have become their own scene in the past few years, with true-school cutters leading a pack of poseurs that has opened shop with all the trinkets of the trend, from rockabilly memorabilia to beer on tap. That's fine, save for the sad fact that the stench of pretension has crept into many of these joints. Enter brothers-in-blades Philip Hernandez and Eric Webb, co-owners of Circle City Barbers in Old Towne Orange. These vets present a laid-back atmosphere where a man can get a clean cut and a straight-razor shave without the too-cool preening that marks so many of their competitors' shops. Man-talk about bikes and broads is common here, and you're just as likely to hear classic rock as you are to hear Misfits and Johnny Cash. Spend about 45 minutes in one of their chairs, and you'll be hooked for life—or at least as long as you live in SoCal. It's a bullshit-free barber shop, so don't even bother to ask for an appointment.

WATCH: Rihanna smacks fan with microphone during concert
Listen to Rihanna on iHeartRadio
Apparently Rihanna doesn't just use her microphone for singing, she uses it for self-defense too. A video of the star using her mic to smack a concert-goer in Birmingham on Monday night has been making its way around the internet.
The video shows RiRi mid-song, singing "We Found Love," taking a stroll on the floor of the venue to greet fans. She reaches her arm out into the crowd, but is pulled back by fans who appear to be latching on to her arm.
According to E!, it seems someone in the crowd started tugging her back, at which point Rihanna is seen taking her microphone and striking it at the fan, who cannot be seen in the video. Seconds later, a bodyguard comes to accompany her back to the stage.

Condit's team want the fight by the looks of things..
3 straight for Diaz and hopefully he'll fuck off for good.
Condit's team want the fight by the looks of things..
3 straight for Diaz and hopefully he'll fuck off for good.
I don't know why they are asking for this fight, he clearly won the 1st and will win the rematch in a similar fashion. No interest from me in this fight. Condit should rematch Rory Mac as agreed earlier. Would like to see Nick fight someone like Kampmann
I like Kampmann for both too. Two excellent fights on paper right there.
With Nick, it's a new fight. With Condit, it's been what, four years since they last fought and it was arguably a much closer fight that Condit vs Diaz.
I can see why Condit's people want it. They obviously think they can beat Nick again, and it'd put them right back in the mix for a title shot, depending on what GSP is doing with Silva/Hendricks.
Fighting, writing and mood lighting.
I wouldn't say he clearly won the first fight. It was close. I scored the fight for Condit, but I have no problems with anyone who scored it for Diaz.
Sherdog.com - The number one MMA site on the web today!
I thought Condit won, but it was close with a couple of rounds that could have gone either well.
Diaz won't be interested in this, Condits hit & run tactics worked well last time & a similar fight awaits. It would appear Condit wants to avoid the improved Rory & plan what he sees as an easier route back to the title
I remember reading someone that Maia was interested in fighting Diaz, now that fight I would like to see.
IMO Maia would take Diaz down and manhandle him like he did with Fitch. Maia is the next legit contender after Hendricks, whether it happens though remains to be seen.

We all know that potty training can be challenging, but why do you think parents tend to run out of patience during the process more quickly than a professional would?
A: I totally agree with the idea of potty training being a challenging milestone, however as a professional potty trainer I begin with the end in mind and look at it as a milestone versus challenge. A parent may look at it the same way in most cases, however I need to also acknowledge the emotional attachment a parent has towards the child and familiarity sometime can definitely create a bit of trouble for most.
If a parent tries to rush potty training, will that added stress slow down the process with the child? A: Added stress can sometimes slow down anything in life, however for a child is different. It actually creates an anxiety factor and once it is formed it is hard to break because we deal with trust and fear. Potty training is exactly that — training, and because every child is unique time should not be a factor but growth.
How does a parent know when it's the right time to begin potty training? A: A parent will know when it's time to potty by having and keeping an open relationship with his/her child. Children communicate in different ways. A child's brain offers signals to a child when it's time to peruse potty training, however many times a parent may miss these opportunities due to the fast pace of life, and a prep time may ne necessary if a deadline is approaching such as preschool, camps or Summer altogether.
We've all read that potty training is a process. What does your boot camp entail—and are the kids potty trained at the end of the boot camp session (5 days)? A: Potty Training is a process, absolutely! A Potty Training Boot Camp is just that: a camp! Kids come together and learn the skill of going potty, just like their new friends. The Potty Whisperer offers three levels of potty training and our five- or six-day camp covers our Basic Plan. A child will learn what, where and when, however each camper will learn skills during a camp and in combination with handouts we offer parents, most get to Complete on their own, however our focus is Basic Training during our short camp.
From your experience, what do parents get most frustrated by when attempting to potty train their child on their own?
A: Attempting to potty train on your own as a parent is a beautiful thing, however it can get dirty pretty quickly if you try to follow books, or tips from friends, browsers, etc. 95% of our clients report communication to be the number one issue before and during potty training with us.
Is letting the potty training process linger over too long a time period problematic? A: Letting the potty training linger for too long a time can be problematic, however that depends from child to child.
My 3 1/2-year-old son is finally letting us know when he has to go and hasn't been having accidents often, but when he watches tv or gets super-involved in a puzzle or other endeavor, he forgets and wets himself. We tried putting underpants under his pull-ups so he would feel the wetness, but it doesn't seem to bother him, and he laughs. What advice can you offer? A: We all know potty training is a process and like just about anything we approach it with the end in mind and from the core. I believe your child is smiling because he desires for you to like him, and accept him just because he is cute, however when you keep him in both worlds (pull-ups and underwear), as a parent or caregiver we tell the child: "I don't trust you, therefore I am protecting myself". As a professional I suggest spending some time with your child talking about potty training, what it is and why he needs to train. Given the time, reason, and faith in your child I believe he will follow your lead, however don't forget to play follow the leader!
Does it matter if we train our boy to sit down on the toilet to urinate or if he stands? A: When training a boy, it sure matters, however know that everything will happen in its due time, and since we use the term "training" in our potty endeavor keep in mind it is a part of the process in becoming a Big Boy.
Are incentives such as stickers or Hershey's Kisses ultimately helpful or harmful in the long run? A: Incentives such as stickers, toys, candy can be harmful, and if it does not seem as so at the moment, I believe in the long run the results are not lasting. In my training I do not use any rewards. Research show how in time after offering our children a reward/punishment approach to discipline (train) it is harmful and if you look at our reward/punishment focused culture from schools to religious groups to play groups the results are devastating across America. Short answer? Harmful!
If we thought our child was ready for potty training and then realized she just isn't getting it—is there any harm in calling it quits for a while and then resuming toilet training when she shows more readiness signs? A: I like the saying "follow your instinct" because when you know/think your child is ready to start training that is the best time to do it. She is most likely in that very early phase of toilet training. If you stop and try to reboot you may run into the stubborn (a.k.a I don't trust you phase) and it may be harder for her and you to train. My suggestion is when you start, go forward by making it a part of your lifestyle, and before you know it she will graduate with smiles on her face.
My child is 4 and is still having frequent peeing accidents—should I be concerned that there may be an underlying problem, or just be more patient? A: I would not worry about anything, however if your child has been potty trained for over a year and accidents continue on a regular basis, I suggest you look at your family's schedule as a whole and see if stress or anxiety may be a problem for your child. If schedules and family is relatively peaceful I suggest you speak to a close friend who may have older children and graduated from this phase in her life, before you approach his/her pediatrician or medicate your child.
My husband gets so angry when my son has accidents in public, and he scolds our boy about them. What is the best way for parents to deal with too-frequent mishaps, and is scolding ever a good option? (I worry about shaming our child.)
A: Fathers in general seem to take a lead approach in the family and find it very normal, however your child is training and so is dad. I suggest you approach your husband at a time when he is calm, in a good mood and explain to him the training factor (time), and how children develop over a long period of time. Brain development continues until 25 years old (most researchers suggest 21), however children do what they see and learn from their most influential person in their lives and if scolding continues I believe your child may associate accidents, potty, and other activities he does not excel at in the moment with a negative experience, therefore contributing to a low self esteem which in return can lead to other problems in his development. When dealing with frequent accidents I suggest stay close to home for a period of time, get involved in your child's daily life as much as possible and offer your child room to be a leader. Remember you are all in training and patience is key.
I was driving in an unfamiliar town when my 3-year-old told me he had to go poopy, but I was having trouble finding a place to take him. Do you have any tips for being prepared for such situations when traveling?
A: Traveling to unfamiliar places can be tricky when kids are involved. Today's market offers us a number of solutions and if you like the eco approach I suggest eco-friendly bags that you can use to cover a potty chair in your car. When you are done using the potty, tie the bag and dispose it at your nearest opportunity. If eco-friendly is not in question I suggest the same approach except using your grocery bags over an inflatable on-the-go potty or over-a-potty chair.
You offer EC – Infant Potty Training. Like many parents, I have my doubts about this—how is it really possible for a baby as young as a couple of months old to understand cues from a parent?
A:We do offer EC or more widely known as Elimination Communication or Infant Potty Training, and soon our classes will be available in every city. Doubting is totally understandable, and I believe it is most likely because we are trained to believe that if we communicate most of the times using words to express our needs, feelings and desires everyone else needs to do the same in order to get along or meet their needs. The truth is we do not need to even open our mouth to get our needs met, and that is because all we need to use are our senses to communicate to other people around us. When it comes to training and infant how to potty, it is the other way around. The infants are teaching us how to read them and how to better meet their needs. It can be a lengthy process, however the insight and savings make it worth it many times over.
Do you think there is a benefit to a parent taking this approach to very early training? A: In our experience and research for over 16 years with different groups of parents we came to believe that only a group of parents may benefit from this approach. However, we do recommend it to any new parent since there are different levels you can start at when it comes to EC, more widely known as Elimination Communication, or Infant Potty Training.
My friend has begun using the EC technique and has been hounding me to give it a try with my newborn, often making me feel guilty. I try to tell myself not to feel bad, but I'm already feeling like my child is "behind." How should I respond to such pressure and feelings of inadequacy?
A: In reality no one can make you do or feel anything. It starts with you and what you allow yourself to think, be, or do. I also believe that every single individual including our infants are unique and have different needs. The one to meet 99% of these needs is you, the parent, and if you are not secure enough, daring enough, or plain ready, I believe you are exactly where you need to be. All you may need to do at this point is work on/save your friendship if it really matters to you and your friend. Potty training, parenting, and family are an intimate affair and you are the one in charge of that.
What are your general thoughts about parents who are taking an EC approach with their babies and allowing them to sit bare-bottomed out in a public restaurant?
A: EC is a wonderful experience if taken and approached from the right angle. From my point of view that angle may look different, however if an approach can later in life shame or harm someone's identity, or simply put "don't do something to your child, you as a parent would not dare do yourself," my suggestion is cover the bottom up with a pair of mini underwear, a cute outfit and be prepared to change your child in a private place in the event that you as a parent were not in tune with your infant and an accident occurs.
Do you encourage parents to carry a small portable potty with them so their child can go at any time? A: A small portable potty is ideal for traveling along with a bag that they can put over the potty when in use.
Any other comments on the phenomenon of potty training becoming too "public" these days?
A: One suggestion I have is check your city codes. Your city may fine you as much as $500 if you display an indecent conduct or you may even get arrested.
Do you think your services are more valuable to a parent of a child with special needs?
A: Our number one clientele tends to be children with special needs, however all clients display an equal desire to share the value and importance of using our approach to potty training with friends.
What advice do you have particularly for parents of children on the autism spectrum for toilet training a 5- or 6-year-old?
A: When training a child on the autism spectrum from scratch I can suggest two things:
How to Support a Transgender Child
How Young Is Too Young for Camp?
Urinary Incontinence & Pelvic Organ Prolapse FAQ
Some Germs Are Essential for Health
Party Planning
After-School Activities

Brevard, N.C. - Micheala Watkins of the Women's Basketball team and Aaron Reese of the Football team have been named the Sports Spot Student-Athletes of the Month for the month of November, as recognized on WSQL 1240 AM on Wednesday afternoon. The award is presented by Sports Spot, in conjunction with the Brevard College Athletic Department.
Watkins was voted the Female Student-Athlete of the Month by the BC Head Coaching staff over fellow nominees Ashlie Morrison of the Volleyball team and Angela Canale of the Cross Country team.
Watkins wins the award for the second time in her career, having received Athlete of the Month honors in January 2011. For the month of November, Watkins led the team in averaging 14.3 points per game and added a team high 24 steals in pacing the Tornados to a 4-2 start to the season. She scored double figures in all six games in the month and added two games with at least six rebounds, three games with at least four assists and three games with at least three steals. Watkins recorded her best game of the season on November 26th against Tennessee Wesleyan when the junior guard scored 17 points, shooting 58.3 percent from the floor, and added six rebounds, four assists and two steals in the 85-65 victory.
Reese was voted the Men's Student-Athlete of the Month by the BC Head Coaching staff over fellow nominees Gaither Hendrix of the Men's Basketball team and Josh Mower of the Men's Cross Country team.
Reese led the Tornados football team in their final two games of the season, leading the offense with 213 rushing yards and three rushing touchdowns, while completing 53.1 percent of his passes for 190 yards and a pair of scores against Catawba and Newberry. Reese had 17 carries for 75 yards and a touchdown against Catawba, going 7-for-13 through the air for 101 yards and a score, and continued his success against Newberry, picking up 138 rushing yards and 89 passing yards to go with three total touchdowns against the Wolves. Reese finished fifth in the SAC in rushing yards per game and rushing touchdowns and averaged 82.2 passing yards per game, finishing third in the SAC with 10 touchdown passes on the season.
These two athletes will be presented with action shots recognizing their award, which will be displayed in the lobby of Boshamer Gymnasium for the entire school year.

Highland • Scratches both fresh and healing line Zach Frampton's right arm and chest as if he just narrowly escaped a mugging, and in a sense, he does every day when practice is brought to a close.
"That's how it is around here," the Lone Peak junior guard said with a chuckle. "It's a lot of hard work."
That hard work and dedication is paying off for the 7-0 Lone Peak boys' basketball team. The Class 5A squad likely will rise to No. 1 in the country in MaxPreps.com's rankings after Jabari Parker's Simeon Career Academy, formerly ranked as the top team in the country by MaxPreps, lost to DeSoto (Texas) 67-57 on Thursday night.
The occasion would be momentous for Utah high school basketball because the Knights would be the first team from the Beehive State to ever be recognized nationally with a No. 1 overall ranking in the country by MaxPreps.com.
"You have a vision of what you want [your program] to look like, but it takes a lot to get there," Lone Peak coach Quincy Lewis said, "and you don't know if you'll ever get there or not."
The Knights did and have evolved into a national powerhouse on the backs of their three stars, guards Nick Emery (19.8 points per game) and T.J. Haws (15.5 points per game) and center Eric Mika (18 points per game), all of whom have committed to play for Dave Rose's BYU Cougars a few miles south of Highland.
Throw in the likes of Talon Shumway, Connor Toolson, Spencer Curtis and Frampton, and the Knights are one of the deepest teams in the U.S.
But if there is one battle Lone Peak faces every day, it's resisting the temptation to grow comfortable with just how good the team is this season, something Lewis calls "one of our greatest challenges."
"It's a daily conversation because we're dealing with kids, but we do have good kids and they have good families behind them," he said.
The Knights, who are coming off their second straight 5A state championship last year, added arguably the most imposing player in Utah basketball in the 6-foot-10 Mika, who transferred to Lone Peak from Waterford but had to sit out the 2011 season due to transfer rules.
"Last year was fun filling up water bottles and stuff," he said, "but this year is nuts."
Quite the appropriate characterization.
Lone Peak already has defeated some of the top teams in the country in its first month of the season. The Knights obliterated Proviso East (Ill.) 84-46 in Chicago on Dec. 1, and defeated the No. 1-ranked team in Colorado, the Denver East Angels, 73-54 in the Great Western Shootout in Orem on Dec. 7. Along with the probable No. 1 ranking from MaxPreps.com, which will release this week's list Monday, the Knights currently are ranked No. 6 nationally by ESPN.com and No. 8 in the USA Today Super Rankings.
"We try not to worry about it too much," Haws said about the increasing recognition. "We just want to focus on that next game."
Lone Peak's next game will be at the State Farm City of Palms Classic tournament in Fort Meyers, Fla., on Wednesday. The Knights are scheduled to face Callaway High School out of Jackson, Miss., in the opening game of the four-day, 16-team tournament. Callaway won the Mississippi Class 5A title in 2011.
If the Knights advance past Callaway, they'll likely face the Chester Clippers from Pennsylvania, a team that is riding a 58-game winning streak and ranked No. 4 by MaxPreps.com last week.
"There's a lot of expectations coming from Utah, and not only Utah, but also from out of state," Emery said. "If you want to win games back there, you can't do it individually, you have to do it as a team."
Lewis said the Knights are scheduled to play in two more national tournaments this season: The Brandon Jennings Invitational in Milwaukee during the second weekend in January, then the Spalding Hoop Hall Classic in Springfield, Mass., Jan. 17 to 21.
And most of these high-profile tournaments around the country actually pay for Lone Peak to come to them. That's how hot of a ticket the team is right now.
Coming into the season, Lone Peak's No. 1 goal was to stay grounded and, so far, the Knights say they've done their job.
"It's not easy," Emery said, "but we just stick with it."
The tricky part will be achieving that goal while vying for a third consecutive 5A state title and bouncing back and forth between the East Coast during the holiday season a test that undoubtedly will challenge one of the best teams in Utah high school history.
"You've got to enjoy the ride a little bit," Lewis said. "I'm fortunate, honestly, to coach these guys."
As Mika teased Frampton, examining each scratch, the junior guard said his teammates aim to keep things as simple as possible despite the growing media attention and various national rankings.
"We just want to play basketball," he said.
At this point, that may be easier said than done for the Knights.

One year later: Right-wing media routinely call Obama racist
On July 28, 2009, Glenn Beck called President Obama a "racist" with a "deep-seated hatred for white people or the white culture." While Beck has reportedly lost more than 100 advertisers since he made those comments, right-wing media figures now routinely call Obama or members of his administration "racist."
Advertisers drop Beck's show
At least 100 advertisers have reportedly dropped Beck's Fox News show. At least 100 advertisers have reportedly dropped [1] their ads from Beck's Fox News program since he called [2] Obama a "racist."
Right-wing media now routinely call Obama "racist"
Beck distorts Obama's comments to accuse him of "racism." On the June 14 editions of his radio and television shows, Beck misrepresented comments [3] Obama made during a 1995 interview to claim Obama did not want to meet with BP CEO Tony Hayward because he is a "white CEO" and that those comments were "code language" that "sounds like racism," "stereotyping," and "profiling." However, as Obama's full comments make clear, he was actually discussing personal responsibility on the part of both blacks and whites.
Limbaugh calls Obama administration a "racist" "regime" During the April 26 edition of his radio show, Rush Limbaugh discussed Arizona's controversial immigration law and claimed that "not everybody thinks that civil rights are the end-all and be-all of every single issue." Limbaugh then cited a campaign video in which Obama discussed voter turnout, including among minorities and women, in 2010. Limbaugh then said [4], "This is the regime at its racist best.
Limbaugh calls Obama "the most-racial president" During the July 22 edition of his radio show, Limbaugh said [5], "So we're supposed to have a post-racial president. Instead, Barack Obama is the most-racial president."
Breitbart, Asman agree Obama is "defending racism" in New Black Panthers case, which is "virtually the same" as being racist. On the July 6 edition [6] of Fox Business Network's America's Nightly Scoreboard, Andrew Breitbart agreed with host David Asman, who stated that while it "may or may not be true" that Obama is a racist, "in letting the Black Panthers off," Obama "is defending racists," which is "virtually the same."
Discussing New Black Panthers case, Severin rants about Obama being "demonstrably a racist" During the June 30 edition of his radio show, Jay Severin discussed the New Black Panthers and claimed [7] that "as long as Barack Obama is president, there is a complete double standard, and a lot of it is based on race" and that "Barack Obama is a racist." Severin added, "Barack Obama is -- the president of the United States is demonstrably a racist."
Hannity defends Beck's statement that Obama is "a racist" During the March 9 edition of his Fox News show, Sean Hannity questioned whether Beck had said anything "over the top." Democratic strategist Penny Lee cited Beck's statement that Obama was racist. Hannity responded [8], "But wait a minute. Wait. Hang on a second. When the president hangs out with Jeremiah Wright for 20 years, I'm -- can one conclude that there are issues with the president -- black liberation theology?"
Blogger Pamela Geller called Obama racist. A March 23 post [9] on Pamela Geller's Atlas Shrugged blogged was headlined [10] "Racist Obama will not be photographed with Jewish prime minister of Israel."
Right-wing media call administration officials "racist"
Limbaugh accuses Eric Holder, DOJ of racism During the July 21 edition of his radio show, Limbaugh discussed the "amazing story of Shirley Sherrod," asking, "If we're going to fire Shirley Sherrod on the basis of racism, then why the hell does Eric Holder still have a job?" Limbaugh later claimed [11] that Holder "has ignored the voting and civil rights of white people in Philadelphia all because the perpetrators of the voter intimidation, the New Black Panther Party, were black."
RedState.com accuses "African American Attorney General" Holder of "blatant reverse discrimination." In a July 7 RedState.com post [12] on the New Black Panthers case, Dave Poff wrote:
It's impossible to believe that President Obama and his Administration actually buys in to this idea that we have moved beyond race and into a new generation of a color blind society, when you consider the blatant reverse discrimination [13] his Attorney General (yes, his African American Attorney General) Eric Holder has been pursuing in the name of leveling the playing field in matters of Justice. Holder, it would seem, is still judging people by the color of their skin. [emphasis in original]
Gingrich: Holder "should certainly resign over the racism inherent in the Black Panther case." On the July 19 edition of Fox News' Hannity, Newt Gingrich said [14] Holder "should certainly resign over the racism inherent in the Black Panther case."
Wash. Times: "[I]t is only under the Obama administration that top appointees have allowed and even encouraged race-based enforcement as either tacit or open policy." In a July 6 editorial [15] headlined "Black Panther case: Racism rules," The Washington Times parroted the discredited claims [16] of former DOJ attorney and right-wing activist J. Christian Adams that the Justice Department "announced that civil rights laws would not be enforced to protect white voters," which the Times wrote was proof that the Obama administration has " allowed and even encouraged race-based enforcement as either tacit or open policy."

Please update your Flash Player
It was a straightforward high school chemistry assignment, one repeated every year in classrooms throughout the country: identify the chemical ingredients used in various household products, including toothpaste, soap, and shampoo. But for Shauntel Poulson, this exercise offered a window into a reality she hadn't considered before—how chemistry was entwined in her life from the moment she showered in the morning until she brushed her teeth at night.
Connecting Chemistry to the Real World
"We had been writing formulas in class for different chemicals, but this assignment connected the chemicals to things you use every day. I realized that chemistry isn't just theory. It's relevant. That project really opened my eyes to seeing what chemical engineers do, and I thought it would be cool to make household products."
Developing Products at Procter & Gamble
Today, Shauntel works as a chemical engineer for one of the world's industry leaders, Procter & Gamble. Chances are you won't go through the day without using one of their products, whether it's Crest toothpaste, Tide laundry detergent, Cover Girl makeup, Pantene shampoo, or Dawn dishwashing liquid.
Shauntel's job involves the overall process of manufacturing a product, from start to finish. If she had chosen a career as a chemist, she says, "I may have worked on one aspect of the chemical formula that goes into a product." But as a chemical engineer, "I'm responsible for knowing how all the chemicals come together and are processed on a larger scale."
Collaborating Across the Board
"It's critical for the engineer to understand all aspects of a product," Shauntel says, and much of her day is spent collaborating with different departments in the company. As a member of the R&D (research and development) department, she works closely with marketing, product packaging, and the supply chain. "My job is definitely for people who don't want to sit at a desk all day," she says. "Everything involves collaboration."
Shauntel also loves finding solutions that produce better products. "My approach to solving a problem is realizing that there are a million ways to solve it, so you have to be creative in finding the best way."
Travel to Indonesia
Shauntel was thrilled when her company sent her to Indonesia for three months to open a new plant. "Basically, we started with nothing more than a field, and finished with a fully operating plant." It was a defining moment for her as an engineer. "In school you design things, but it's all theory," she says. "In Indonesia I actually got to see the designs implemented. It was a very hands-on project." The trip was also exciting for her because it was the first time she had been out of the country. "I really liked learning about a new culture and working with the people there."
"I get a lot of respect as an engineer," Shauntel says, "and it's always wonderful to go into a store and see the products I've worked on sitting on the shelf!"

I'm trying to run BT5 on a laptop with an internal Realtek RTL8192E wireless card. The drivers appear to be loading ok (appears as wlan0 and doesn't produce any errors when I try to set it up with iwconfig), but the card doesn't appear to be communicating over the air.
No networks are visible either from the gui or when I run iwlist scan.
The only time it's worked is once when I've run iwlist scan straight after booting and it's produced a list of access points as expected, although I haven't been able to reproduce this.
Has anyone else had this problem or got any ideas on how to fix it?

University is committed to health research and education
Carolina's seven major academic initiatives will be celebrated during the week of each home football game this season. The third -- in the week leading up to the Carolina vs. S.C. State game Oct. 3 -- is the University's contributions to the health sciences.
"The greatest wealth is health."
The words of the Roman poet Virgil are as relevant in the 21st century as they were some 2,000 years ago. Today, ensuring the "wealth" of children and adults in the Palmetto State and beyond is a commitment that the University of South Carolina's health-sciences colleges take to heart.
Committed to educating future leaders in medicine, nursing, pharmacy, public health, and social work, faculty also are seeking answers to many of the most serious healthcare problems of our day, including obesity, cancer, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease.
The Arnold School of Public Health welcomes veteran researcher and professor Dr. Thomas Chandler as dean. Chandler, who joined the University's faculty in 1988 as a scientist at the Baruch Institute for Marine and Coastal Sciences, leads South Carolina's only school of public health. Established in 1975, the Arnold school has achieved national and international prominence for its research on the link between physical activity and health—a fact underscored by a No. 1 ranking for its exercise science Ph.D. program—and recognition in prestigious journals. These efforts, coupled with research on environmental health, HIV/AIDS, cancer, health disparities, communication disorders, stroke, nutrition, and rural health, led to more than $27 million in grants for fiscal year 2009.
With nearly 7,200 alumni and more than 1,400 undergraduate and graduate students, the Arnold school is fulfilling its commitment to educate public health professionals who will address the health and environmental issues impacting the state and nation.
The School of Medicine also has a new dean. Dr. Richard Hoppmann, who joined the faculty in 1990 as director of the Division of Allergy, Immunology, and Rheumatology, leads a school that is recognized as a national leader in the number of graduates who practice primary-care medicine. The School of Medicine's 1,472 practicing alumni are working in 36 of the state's 46 counties, and many of them are in small towns and rural areas, where they are needed most.
Patient care today and in the future is being shaped by a partnership between the School of Medicine and GE Healthcare to develop lightweight, portable ultrasound equipment that is easy to use by doctors and other healthcare professionals, particularly those in rural areas and foreign countries where medical diagnosis is made difficult by limited access to healthcare facilities. For the nation's aging Baby Boomers, SmartHOME® technology, which is being developed by School of Medicine researchers, will help senior citizens live independently longer. The SmartHOME® initiative falls under SeniorSMART®, a S.C. Center of Economic Excellence.
High-tech "patients" in the Clinical Simulation Lab (CSL) of the College of Nursing are helping nursing students develop patient-care skills before they begin their clinical training. The CSL manikins can be programmed to have myriad health problems, and student interaction with these lifelike "patients" helps students develop critical-thinking skills and hone their abilities to handle routine procedures such as giving shots, problem identification and intervention, and taking blood pressure.
The college's Center for Nursing Leadership provides programs for nurse leaders and addresses issues affecting nursing recruitment and retention. The college has more than 6,000 alumni, and enrollment in fall 2009 is 1,012 undergraduates and 171 graduate students. The college's goal is "Every Nurse a Leader."
In 2004, the South Carolina College of Pharmacy (SCCP) was created by joining the pharmacy programs at Carolina and the Medical University of South Carolina. The SCCP offers a statewide approach to pharmacy education by offering PharmD students the opportunity to pursue degrees on the Columbia or Charleston campus. Pharmacy education also is being expanded to the Upstate. The Columbia campus has more than 400 students in its pre-pharmacy program (years one and two), and about 440 students in the professional program comprising years three through six of pharmacy education. Of Carolina's more than 2,900 practicing alumni, 66 percent work in community pharmacies and 25 percent are employed in hospitals and other healthcare facilities.
Beyond the classroom, the SCCP in Columbia extends to virtually every corner of the state through the Palmetto Poison Center, which answers 36,000 calls on accidental poisonings from the public, doctors, and other healthcare professionals. SCCP research funding is about $5 million annually, which places the college in the nation's top 20 colleges of pharmacy.
Ranked among the top 20 percent of graduate schools in public universities by U.S. News and World Report, the College of Social Work is known for its national and international leadership in social work education. The college's Master of Social Work program is fully accredited, and it consistently ranks among the top graduate programs in the South. The college's MSW graduates are readily employed in social work practice and administration throughout the world. Many have become top leaders in the profession. The college's research-oriented Ph.D. program prepares doctoral students for successful careers in higher education, research, and scholarship.
The college began accepting students into a new undergraduate program during the 2009–2010 academic year.
The college also offers a variety of international experiences for students, practitioners, and research chiefly in Asia, Africa, and Latin America.

Experts say the effect is independent of improvements in cycling-friendly laws such as lower speed limits and better infrastructure, such as bike paths. Research has revealed the safety-in-numbers impact for cyclists in Australia, Denmark, the Netherlands, 14 European countries and 68 Californian cities.Lloyd at Treehugger goes into more detail on the safety aspect, pointing to Bike Commute Tips where Paul writes, "Amen to this. Stop perpetuating the myth of bicycling as a dangerous activity. Leave your helmet at home."
"It's a positive effect but some people are surprised that injury rates don't go up at the same rate of increases in cycling," says Sydney University's Dr Chris Rissel, co-author of a 2008 research report on cycling.
"It appears that motorists adjust their behaviour in the presence of increasing numbers of people bicycling because they expect or experience more people cycling. Also, rising cycling rates mean motorists are more likely to be cyclists, and therefore be more conscious of, and sympathetic towards, cyclists."
Dr Rissel says transport authorities should highlight the fun, convenience and health and environmental benefits of cycling, rather than what he views as an undue emphasis on danger and safety messages, which can deter cyclists: "We should create a cycling friendly environment and accentuate cycling's positives rather than stress negatives with 'safety campaigns' that focus on cyclists without addressing drivers and road conditions. Reminding people of injury rates and risks, to wear helmets and reflective visible clothes has the unintended effect of reinforcing fears of cycling which discourages people from cycling."Other responses:

Lenovo's PC management and support solutions keep your school's IT staff focused on education
Selecting the right PC for your college or university's 1:1 program is a critical decision, but it's only the start. For your 1:1 program to succeed, you have to have a plan for managing and supporting PCs and managing data — no matter the size of your IT staff. Lenovo can help.
- LANDesk Management Suite for ThinkVantage Technologies, enabled in concert with Intel's vPro Technology, saves your school time and money through a remotely enabled "discover, heal and protect" strategy:
- Discover where your school's PCs are, even when they are turned off — ensuring fast and accurate inventories.
- Heal PCs if they get "sick." Use powerful tools to diagnose and repair common problems such as corrupted operating system files or failed hard drives.
- Protect your devices and your data by ensuring security patches and performance upgrades stay on schedule, no matter where your PCs are.
- Power Manager helps extend battery life and improve productivity on Lenovo laptops and lower electricity costs for desktops by helping users monitor energy usage. Lenovo's Power Manager, a ThinkVantage Technology, also allows users to control energy consumption remotely.
- Rescue and Recovery, a Lenovo ThinkVantage Technology, helps users recover from system crashes quickly — without calling for IT help — even if the primary operating system won't boot. Just press the blue button. Rescue and Recovery can restore users' productivity in two to three minutes. Lenovo users routinely report that using Rescue and Recovery has reduced their support costs by as much as 50 percent.
Damage Protection
- Drops, bangs and spills are an inevitable part of any school day. Your school needs a solution that reduces repair costs, helps maintain a predictable budget and keeps your students, teachers and IT staff focused on learning.
- Three-Year Priority On-Site Warranty delivers on-site, next-day service and connects your school directly with advanced technicians for fast resolution.
- Three-Year On-Site Warranty extends your standard warranty and offers on-site support at your school.
- Accidental Damage Protection covers accidental damages not covered by warranty and provides repairs or system replacement from accidental damage. With ADP, your school can save more than 20 percent on notebook repair costs over three years. And if your school signs onto an ADP notebook replacement program, you can reduce procurement costs by as much as 60 percent. Those savings are hard to ignore.
Data Backup
- Faculty, staff and administrators depend on databases to track, trend and store information for mandated analysis and reporting. That data is critical and valuable, and you need to protect it.
- Online Data Backup is a secure, off-site data encryption and storage solution that requires minimal administrative overhead at the school level.

Healing Prayer Wheel Necklace by Emily Rosenfeld
The text is taken from the Mi Sheberakh, a Jewish prayer for healing. The English phrase encouraging healing of the body and soul is surrounded by the Hebrew words: restore, heal, strengthen and enliven. Handmade Pewter.
It comes in both an English only version as well as a Hebrew/English version (pictured).
The entire English translation of the prayer, Mi Sheberakh is:
May the One who blessed our ancestors --
Patriarchs Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob,
Matriarchs Sarah, Rebecca, Rachel, and Leah --
bless and heal the one who is ill:
________________ son/daughter of ________________ .
May the Holy Blessed One
overflow with compassion upon him/her,
to restore him/her,
to heal him/her,
to strengthen him/her,
to enliven him/her.
The One will send him/her, speedily, a complete healing -- healing of the soul and healing of the body -- along with all the ill, among the people of Israel and all humankind,
without delay,
and let us all say: Amen!

Ya it's Cali. Comp was pretty good though for a day one. Wait till finals should be a wow er.
It was so foggy there an hour or two into the comp. Everyone thought it should/was about to get called off that whole time. Was murky out all morning before that but still not as bad as 10-11am or so. Was out there at 7 and started at Churches and went all the way up to Uppers. I'm impressed as hell with that whole place. Wow. So many waves breaking. Those rocks are sure shallow. Had to paddle out on the back of the board to save the skegs. Figures that the sun came out at Noon when I headed back for rest.
Should be a good next couple days in that comp, KS was awesome to watch and several others. Some very cool people as photographers/spectators and all enjoying themselves. Got to meet several. Gaffer is 100% right about the last few days' conditions. If they started that comp on Thursday it would've been off the chain.
Hey spacolli where s all the pictures of your last adventures? Keep us all updated n catch a few for me.
Shoots brah, if you really want pics of me eating schitt I'm sure I could commission a photographer to get a few shotts. I'm using what little space remains on my iPhone 6 on pics with wahines in the sand down at the Hurley though. Gonna hit a spot or two north of San Clemente then head to Trestles early afternoon. No fog to speak of today! We will actually be able to see the heats from the shorebreak this time. Yesterday was wiley but great!
How come CJ doesn't have major sponser seeing he's raked 9th that is crazy.
I think Emass got banned from Eastern Mass. He must have gotten some Mayor's daughter preggers, given her AIDsmydia or something.
And dammit Emass, catch a solid one for me.
Emass still welcomes me with open arms. They actually sent me to South OC to woo swell out east, which I've succeeded in!!!
Please excuse me while I apply copious triple antibiotic. That John Denver was NOT full of schitt when he said Lowers was rocky. Forgot to do so last night as we were up in Laguna chasing Lauren Conrad.

BikeProUSA makes several different travel cases, both hard shell and soft cover. I've used their tandem case with good results. Noticed several other manufacturers with a quick interweb search. None are cheap and you do have the mentioned problem of storing your case (if it's not a disposable) until your return.
I was in the same boat with my Specialized Sequoia Elite, front forks are carbon and wheelset not meant to pack that much extra weight (I am doing a week fully self supported). For my planned summer tour of the Oregon coast I picked up a used BOB trailer on Craigslist, might want to think about this and not have to go so light or carry a backpack.
Wow i love that rear and front bag options. You gave me hope. Thanks
A seatpost rack and bag will work fine for light touring where you stay in motels. Or a Carradice bag on the back of the saddle. Looking at the Trek website, your bike comes with either a compact 34x30 or triple 30x30 low gear. Good enough for light touring.
I do feel my bike would be extremely fast on the flats though.
Towing a full load, probably not.
It isn't the only lack of luggage capacity that makes his current bike unsuitable, it's the gearing. Correcting that will be quite expensive.

Julian Casablancas crashes Arcade Fire show
Listen to Julian Casablancas on iHeartRadio | Listen to Arcade Fire on iHeartRadio
Julian Casablancas was temporarily a member of Arcade Fire this week.
The Strokes frontman borrowed Win Butler's giant papier mache mask at the start of Arcade Fire's Lollapalooza Argentina gig on Tuesday. But the group had barely started their first song before the real Win Butler ran out to unmask the impostor. Butler used some of his best acting skills to angrily kick Casablancas off the stage, saying this type of indie rock identity theft was "not cool."
Casablancas was at Lollapalooza Argentina to play with his new band The Voidz. They're set to release their first album sometime this year.
Arcade Fire, meanwhile, are still supporting their hit album Reflektor, and are set to play Lollapalooza Brazil this weekend before heading back to the U.S.

Cuts to funding for engineering and science students have fuelled fears about the viability of the federal government's nation-building agenda, including big construction projects such as Badgerys Creek.
Prime Minister Tony Abbott has said he wants to be known as the ''infrastructure prime minister'' and announced a $10 billion infrastructure spending package in last month's budget.
But the budget also included a cut in the government's contribution - by an average of 20 per cent - towards the cost of university courses that would supply the expertise for these projects. Disciplines such as engineering and the sciences will face bigger cuts.
University of Sydney vice-chancellor Michael Spence said the government was not formulating smart public policy.
''Australia is basically good at three things: we can dig things out of the ground, and grow things, and we produce very clever people,'' he told ABC Radio.
''It is not smart public policy in a context when we are trying to encourage more participation by young Australians [in science and engineering] given their importance to national capacity building.''
University of Melbourne vice-chancellor Glyn Davis estimates engineering fees at the university could soar by 61 per cent under a deregulated system.
Engineers Australia chief executive Stephen Durkin called on the government to reconsider its changes to university funding rates, saying students would be deterred from studying engineering.
He estimated that the total cost of a four-year engineering degree would cost about $103,000. The government picks up the tab for about $68,000, and the remaining $34,000 is the student's deferred contribution. Upon deregulation in 2016, the government will cover $48,180 of the bill and the student will face a $117,650 bill.
''We have grave concerns about this … if we're not careful, then fewer students will study engineering at our universities and that's not in our national interest,'' Mr Durkin said. ''With projects such as Badgerys Creek coming online over the next five to 10 years, there will be a big demand for engineers because we will be back in boom times.
''It seems problematic that engineering - which is cost-intensive with laboratories, and research and analysis - is now being funded at the same level as mathematics, which is classroom focused.''
A spokesman for Education Minister Christopher Pyne said a working group would examine the new funding arrangements for 2016 onwards, which were announced the day after the budget.
Chief scientist Ian Chubb said on the weekend that Australia was a nation without a plan.
Professor Chubb was commenting on the $420 million funding cuts to the CSIRO, the Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation, the Australian Research Council, the Defence Science and Technology Organisation, the Co-operative Research Centres and a few other agencies, as well as the university funding cuts.
He said nowhere did a policy or strategy exist that set out the vision for the future, and how science and innovation could help achieve that. ''You don't go out and buy your bricks before you know what kind of house you're going to build,'' he said.

'Fiesta Killer' Execution Back On--But More Appeals Loom
The execution of 'Fiesta Killer' Tommy Lynn Sells is on again for tonight, but lawyers are asking the U.S. Supreme Court to intervene in what has become a high stakes stare down over the source of the state's execution drug, 1200 WOAI news reports.
Sells, who kidnapped and murdered nine year old Bea Perez at Fiesta of 1999 was sentenced to death for the murder of a 13 year old girl in Del Rio and claims to have killed so many people that he uses the nickname 'Coast to Coast.'
His execution was ordered delayed by a federal judge in Houston yesterday, and then was reinstated by a federal appeals court last night.
Gerald Treece, a Professor of Constitutional Law at the South Texas College of Law, says the state needs to do a better job of arguing its case.
"You have an interesting argument raised by clever lawyers, that I think Texas needs to respond to more cleverly than saying 'it's none of your business,' Treece told 1200 WOAI news.
The state says revealing the source of the execution drug could put the pharmacy that sells the drugs at risk of violence from anti death penalty activists. A state official says one threatened to car bomb a pharmacy in The Woodlands after it was revealed that it provided the previous batch of Pentobarbital.
But Treece says in an issue as important as the government taking the life of a citizen, transparency is expected.
"Texas does need to step up and explain what the content is," he said. "If the state of Texas wants to take the life of someone, it has the duty to also explain what the content is."
Lawyers for Sells say without information about where the Pentobarbital came from, they cannot make a case as to whether executing him with it amounts to cruel and unusual punishment. Lawyers cite cases in other states where condemned men appeared to be in pain while being executed with drugs obtained from compounding pharmacies. Drug companies have generally declined to sell death drugs to state prisons.

Ask E. Jean: Tell Me How to Dominate a Man
My guy keeps asking me to tie him up
Dear E. Jean: I'm seeing a smart, caring guy who enjoys being dominated in the bedroom. He keeps asking me to tie him up and make him promise things. I'd like to do it right, but unfortunately I have no clue as to what I'm supposed to make him promise. Any suggestions?—Not Very Creative
Not Very, my violet: Simple. Ask him. And pay attention. He's handing you the key to the gates of unknown desire. The secret of sexual ecstasy is creating a craving and then drawing it out beyond all endurance.
P.S. Every entrepreneur must pay a visit to Femdomcity.com, "dedicated to the worship of women by men." You'll receive such intoxicating ideas about bringing dudes to heel, you'll regret that the whole world's not run this way.

Taylor Swift sets NSAI record
Listen to Taylor Swift on iHeartRadio
Taylor Swift will be among the honorees at this year's Nashville Songwriters Association International awards ceremony this weekend, and she'll be setting a new record in the process.
Nashville's "Tennessean" says the country-pop singer-songwriter will be named Songwriter/Artist of the Year at the upcoming event, marking her sixth time taking the award.
While the 23-year-old performer already holds the record as the youngest artist to earn the title, with this year's event she'll also set the record the most titles. Taylor had been tied with Alan Jackson and Vince Gill, who have each received the NSAI Songwriter/Artist of the Year award five times.
The NSAI's 2013 Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame Dinner and Induction Ceremony will take place in Nashville on Sunday.

WASHINGTON -- On-premise beer consumption in the U.S. has dropped 5% since 2008 as fewer workers stop by taverns for a drink after their shift, said Chris Thorne, vice-president of communications at the Beer Institute.
High-end beer sales have grown 14% during the same period. The falloff has come on the low-cost end of the market. Meanwhile, more consumers are buying beer in c-stores for consumption at home, said the institute.
Several factors have conspired to depress after-work, on-premise consumption, according to a recent report by Reuters.
The so-called "Great Recession" has cut manufacturing jobs, resulting in less traffic in neighborhood bars. More focus on healthy living, shifting social attitudes toward drinking and tough DUI laws have also contributed to the trend. Smoking bans are another strong contributing factor.
Reuters quoted historian John Gurda as saying the after-work tavern habit may be weaker, but it is "far from gone." Gurda described bars, taverns and saloons as traditionally serving as "the communal living rooms" of industrial Midwestern cities like Milwaukee.
"In many neighborhoods, that's still very much the case," Gurda said.

Hugs to you all,
Yes! Happy Canada Day to all of our Canadian members and their families.
Gavin, thank you. Please pray tell how you manage to remember the date over there in Scotland - Dundee?
Thanks Gavin! Beautiful day here in Revelstoke B.C. Thankful to live in a country that is glorious and free! Hugs. Nancy
You're most welcome! I hope you both had a great day with your families and I'm guessing that you had the weather for it too!
Ha Eli! It was simple really. Every year I get a calender that I put on my wall. It is produced by the company here in Dundee that writes our local daily and evening newspaper and it is a great calender taht always has great pics of Dundee scenes, life, history etc for each month of the year. Plus my dad worked for them for nearly 50 years and DC Thomsons and their publications are legendary here in Dundee! Google Oor Wullie or the Broons or Dennis the Menace for more info if you want to, I grew up with these guys!
Anyway, I changed the calender over as it was the 1st of July, and it said in the box for the 1st that it is Canada Day and I thought of you guys! My calender also says that the 2nd is an observed holiday too for Canada day so I googled it and Wikipedia says that if Canada day falls on a Sunday then the 2nd also becomes a holiday, is that true?
So, if it is true then have a good holiday today as well!
Hi Gavin,
Yes it true, the 2nd was a holiday as well. Our public holidays all work like that. If the holiday falls on a weekend, we get Monday off work to recover from the fun :-) It's just common sense, isn't it? Is it not how public holidays work in the UK?
DC Thomsons must be a great company that your dad worked for them for nearly 50 years! I can't imagine staying that long at one place. I've been with my current employer for 12 years and that feels like an eternity to me.

Lee Ann - from fulshear, TX
Tempering chocolate can be tricky, and will also require you to keep the chocolate at a precise temperature while you work with it. Candy Melts Candy is easier because it does not require tempering to set up into a smooth, shiny finish. A chocolate melting pot makes dipping easy because it melts the candy and keeps it warm for long periods of time - perfect for cake balls, cookies, pretzels, or any dipped treats!

Sorry for double post, But appears that the issue is when halting the system period, any form of full shutdown causes the next boot to fail to detect the disk. Could this possibly be an issue with not properly shutting down the cryptdisks?
I have still not been able to solve the issue with elegance... I cant imagine I am the only one running into this issue.
Note: When issuing reboot from terminal, the disks are detected correctly on the next startup.. Also cannot seem to find any similar issues on google, I will try to dig into some of the init scripts tonight and see if I can find anything..

In 2015, we again are joining the International Association of Crime Analysts to present research at their annual meeting.
Date: September 22-25, 2015Location: Denver, Colo.
Learn more about the IACA conference.
Today GIS and spatial analysis are routinely used with increasing effectiveness to examine multiple problems within a geographic framework. They are enhancing our understanding of the effect of "place" on a myriad issues.
In 1997 when NIJ sponsored the first Crime Mapping Research Conference, GIS and spatial analysis were emerging techniques. The Conference offered the field an opportunity to understand crime, criminal justice, and public safety and their effect on, and by place. It represented a range of research findings, practical applications, technology demonstrations and policy results.
In 2013, NIJ joined with the International Association of Crime Analysts to present research at IACA's annual meeting rather than sponsor a separate conference. This partnership brings together researchers and practitioners to improve upon theory, research and practice.
