Woodrum Named to Jerry Rice Award Watch List
2012 Jerry Rice Award Watch List
Liberty quarterback Josh Woodrum was one of three players added to the Jerry Rice Award watch list, which was updated and released earlier today by the Sports Network.
Along with Woodrum, the Sports Network added Jacksonville quarterback Kade Bell and North Dakota wide receiver Jameer Jackson to the 19-player watch list.
The Jerry Rice Award is in its second year of existence and is one of the four major awards handed out at the end of the FCS football season by the Sports Network.
The award honors the top FCS freshman player in the country. The inaugural award was given last year to Towson running back Terrance West, who ran for 1,294 yards and 29 touchdowns.
The Jerry Rice Award is named for legendary wide receiver Jerry Rice, who was a two-time first-team All-American in the FCS (then Division I-AA) at Mississippi Valley State. The award is voted on by a national panel of sports information and media relations directors, broadcasters, writers and other dignitaries following the regular season.
On the season, Woodrum has thrown for 1,186 yards and seven touchdowns. The rookie was named Liberty's starting quarterback for the Montana game and has remained in that role since the game against the Grizzlies.
In four starts under center, Woodrum has a pair of 300-yard passing games (Montana and Gardner-Webb) and he has completed 74.8 percent of his pass attempts (98-of-131). On the year, Woodrum ranks No. 5 in the country in passing efficiency (162.38).
The Sports Network will update the Jerry Rice Award watch list at least one more time before voting on the national award at the conclusion of the FCS regular season schedule in November.

The Toro Company on Thursday reported first-quarter earnings growth and said it will strengthen its presence in China through the acquisition of a "micro-irrigation" company.
Bloomington-based Toro—which provides turf, landscape, rental, and construction equipment, as well as irrigation and outdoor lighting products—said its performance was driven by strong demand for large turf equipment and growth in micro-irrigation sales. Micro-irrigation refers to systems that slowly drip water to the roots of plants.
Toro's earnings for the quarter that ended February 1 totaled $31.4 million, or 53 cents per share, up about 58 percent from the same period a year ago. Revenue, meanwhile, climbed about 5 percent to $444.7 million.

WORCESTER, MA -- A complaint has been filed in the U.S. District Court for the district of Massachusetts that alleges Rowe International Corp. (AMI Entertainment Network Inc.), a jukebox manufacturer, and the Amusement and Music Operators Association, which represents vending operators, are involved in restraint of trade.
Shrewsbury, MA-based Lease America, or Lease America.org Inc., filed the complaint in January accusing AMOA of pressuring Rowe not to supply jukeboxes to Lease America, which sells amusement equipment to locations.
The complaint charges that in early 2009 AMOA advised the manufacturer that its operator members would no longer use Rowe jukeboxes if it allowed Lease America to sell its jukeboxes directly to locations. According to the complaint, Rowe terminated its agreement with Lease America March 10, 2009, and remotely disabled Lease America's jukeboxes without warning.
As a result, Lease America said it has suffered financial injury, and is seeking damages, which it wants the court to determine. To date, the company estimates that its losses are more than $10 million. The plaintiff also demands a jury trial.
The complaint, which alleges violations of the Sherman Act, unfair business practices under Massachusetts's general law and several types of tortious interference, says coconspirators also are involved in the purported restraint of trade, but it did not say who they are.
The complaint mentions two other direct-selling organizations that it asserts have experienced similar pressures. San Francisco-based Ecast Inc., a jukebox music provider that shut down a year ago, supplied software and content to both operations, which earned the disapproval of the Amusement and Music Owners Association of New York.
Overall, Lease America's claim argues that the coin machine industry's supply chain -- manufacturer, distributor and operator -- is struggling to preserve a tradition, which it says inhibits innovation and competition.
A spokesman for Chicago-based AMOA told VT that the allegations made against the association in the complaint are baseless and that it is ready to challenge those claims in the legal system.

After the bestselling Arthur & George and Nothing to Be Frightened Of, Julian Barnes returns with fourteen stories about longing and loss, friendship and love, whose mysterious natures he examines with his trademark wit and observant eye. From an imperial capital in the eighteenth century to Garibaldis adventures in the nineteenth, from the vineyards of Italy to the English seaside in our time, he finds the stages, transitions, arguments that define us. A newly divorced real estate agent cant resist invading his reticent girlfriends privacy, but the information he finds reveals only his callously shallow curiosity. A couple come together through an illicit cigarette and a song shared over the din of a Chinese restaurant. A widower revisiting the Scottish island hed treasured with his wife learns how difficult it is to purge oneself of grief. And throughout, friends gather regularly at dinner parties and perfect the art of cerebral, sometimes bawdy banter about the world passing before them.Whether domestic or extraordinary, each story pulses with the resonance, spark, and poignant humor for which Barnes is justly heralded.
"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
Julian Barnes is the author of nine novels, two collections of stories, and two collections of essays. His honors include the Somerset Maugham Award, the Geoffrey Faber Memorial Prize, the Prix Femina, and the E. M. Forster Award from the American Academy and Institute of Arts and Letters. He lives in London.
the previous November, a row of wooden beach huts, their paintwork lifted and flaked by the hard east wind, had burnt to the ground. The fire brigade came from twelve miles away, and had nothing to do by the time it arrived. Yobs on Rampage, the local paper decided; though no culprit was ever found. An architect from a more fashionable part of the coastline told the regional TV news that the huts were part of the town's social heritage, and must be rebuilt. The council announced that it would consider all options, but since then had done nothing.
Vernon had moved to the town only a few months before, and had no feelings about the beach huts. If anything, their disappearance improved the view from the Right Plaice, where he sometimes had lunch. From a window table he now looked out across a strip of concrete to damp shingle, a bored sky and a lifeless sea. That was the east coast: for months on end you got bits of bad weather and lots of no weather. This was fine by him: he'd moved here to have no weather in his life.
"You are done?"
He didn't look up at the waitress. "All the way from the Urals," he said, still gazing at the long, flat sea.
"Nothing between here and the Urals. That's where the wind comes from. Nothing to stop it. Straight across all those countries." Cold enough to freeze your knob off, he might have added in other circumstances.
" Oorals," she repeated. As he caught the accent, he looked up at her. A broad face, streaked hair, chunky body, and not doing any waitressy number in hope of a bigger tip. Must be one of those Eastern Europeans who were all over the country nowadays. Building trade, pubs and restaurants, fruit picking. Came over here in vans and coaches, lived in rabbit warrens, made themselves a bit of money. Some stayed, some went home. Vernon didn't mind one way or the other. That's what he found more often than not these days: he didn't mind one way or the other.
"Are you from one of them?"
"One of what?"
"One of those countries. Between here and the Urals."
" Oorals. Yes, perhaps."
That was an odd answer, he thought. Or maybe her sense of geography wasn't so strong.
"Fancy a swim?"
"A swim?"
"Yes, you know. Swim. Splash splash, front crawl, breaststroke."
"No swim."
"Fine," he said. He hadn't meant it anyway. "Bill, please."
As he waited, he looked back across the concrete to the damp shingle. A beach hut had recently sold for twenty grand. Or was it thirty? Somewhere down on the south coast. Spiralling house prices, the market going mad: that's what the papers said. Not that it touched this part of the country, or the property he dealt in. The market had bottomed out here long ago, the graph as horizontal as the sea. Old people died, you sold their flats and houses to people who in their turn would get old in them and then die. That was a lot of his trade. The town wasn't fashionable, never had been: Londoners carried on up the A12 to somewhere pricier. Fine by him. He'd lived in London all his life until the divorce. Now he had a quiet job, a rented flat, and saw the kids every other weekend. When they got older, they'd probably be bored with this place and start acting the little snobs. But for the moment they liked the sea, throwing pebbles into it, eating chips.
When she brought the bill, he said, "We could run away together and live in a beach hut."
"I do not think," she replied, shaking her head, as if she assumed he meant it. Oh well, the old English sense of humour, takes a while for people to get used to it.
He had a few rentals to attend to—changes of tenancy, redecoration, damp problems—and then a sale up the coast, so he didn't return to the Right Plaice for a few weeks. He ate his haddock and mushies, and read the paper. There was some town in Lincolnshire which was suddenly half Polish, there'd been so many immigrants. Nowadays, more Catholics went to church on Sundays than Anglicans, they were saying, what with all these Eastern Europeans. He didn't mind one way or the other. Actually, he liked the Poles he'd met—brickies, plasterers, electricians. Good workers, well trained, did what they said, trustworthy. It was time the good old British building trade had a kick up the arse, Vernon thought.
The sun was out that day, slanting low across the sea, annoying his eyes. Late March, and bits of spring were getting even to this part of the coast.
"How about that swim, then?" he asked as she brought the bill.
"Oh no. No swim."
"I'm guessing you might be Polish."
"My name is Andrea," she replied.
"Not that I mind whether you're Polish or not."
"I do not also."
The thing was, he'd never been much good at flirting; never quite said the right thing. And since the divorce, he'd got worse at it, if that was possible, because his heart wasn't in it. Where was his heart? Question for another day. Today's subject: flirting. He knew all too well the look in a woman's eye when you didn't get it right. Where's he coming from, the look said. Anyway, it took two to flirt. And maybe he was getting too old for it. Thirty-seven, father of two, Gary (8) and Melanie (5). That's how the papers would put it if he was washed up on the coast some morning.
"I'm an estate agent," he said. That was another line which often hampered flirting.
"What is this?"
"I sell houses. And flats. And we do rentals. Rooms, flats, houses."
"Is it interesting?"
"It's a living."
"We all need living."
He suddenly thought: no, you can't flirt either. Maybe you can flirt in your own language, but you can't do it in English, so we're even. He also thought: she looks sturdy. Maybe I need someone sturdy. She might be my age, for all I know. Not that he minded one way or the other. He wasn't going to ask her out.
He asked her out. There wasn't much choice of "out" in this town. One cinema, a few pubs, and the couple of other restaurants where she didn't work. Apart from that, there was bingo for the old people whose flats he would sell after they were dead, and a club where some halfhearted goths loitered. Kids drove into Colchester on a Friday night and bought enough drugs to see them through the weekend. No wonder they burnt down the beach huts. He liked her at first for what she wasn't. She wasn't flirty, she wasn't gabby, she wasn't pushy. She didn't mind that he was an estate agent, or that he was divorced with two kids. Other women had taken a quick look and said: no. He reckoned women were more attracted to men who were still in a marriage, however fucked up it was, than to ones picking up the pieces afterwards. Not surprising really. But Andrea didn't mind all that. Didn't ask questions much. Didn't answer them either, for that matter. The first time they kissed, he thought of asking if she was really Polish, but then he forgot.
He suggested his place, but she refused. She said she'd come next time. He spent an anxious few days wondering what it would be like to go to bed with someone different after so long. He drove fifteen miles up the coast to buy condoms where no one knew him. Not that he was ashamed, or embarrassed; just didn't want anyone knowing, or guessing, his business.
"This is a nice apartment."
"Well, if an estate agent can't find himself a decent flat, what's the world coming to?"
She had an overnight bag with her; she took off her clothes in the bathroom and came back in a nightdress. They climbed into bed and he turned out the light. She felt very tense to him. He felt very tense to himself.
"We could just cuddle," he suggested.
"What is cuddle?"
He demonstrated.
"So cuddle is not fucking?"
"No, cuddle is not fucking."
"OK, cuddle."
After that they relaxed, and she soon fell asleep. The next time, after some kissing, he reacquainted himself with the lubricated struggle of the condom. He knew he was meant to unroll it, but found himself trying to tug it on like a sock, pulling at the rim in a haphazard way. Doing it in the dark didn't help either. But she didn't say anything, or cough discouragingly, and eventually he turned towards her. She pulled up her nightie and he climbed on top of her. His mind was half filled with lust and fucking, and half empty, as if wondering what he was up to. He didn't think about her very much that first time. It was a question of looking out for yourself. Later you could look out for the other person.
"Was that OK?" he said after a while.
"Yes, was OK."
Vernon laughed in the dark.
"Are you laughing at me? Was not OK for you?"
"Andrea," he said, "everything's OK. Nobody's laughing at you. I won't let anyone laugh at you." As she slept, he thought: we're starting again, both of us. I don't know what she's had in her past, but maybe we're both starting again from the same sort of low point, and that's OK. Everything's OK.
The next time she was more relaxed, and gripped him hard with her legs. He couldn't tell whether she came or not.
"Gosh you're strong," he said afterwards.
"Is strong bad?"
"No, no. Not at all. Strong's good."
But the next time he noticed that she didn't grip him so hard. She didn't much like him playing with her breasts either. No, that was unfair. She didn't seem to mind if he did or didn't. Or rather, if he wanted to, that was fine, but it was for him, not for her. That's what he understood, anyway. And who said you had to talk about everything in the first week?
He was glad neither of them was any good at flirting: it was a kind of deception. Whereas Andrea was never anything but straight with him. She didn't talk much, but what she said was what she did. She would meet him where and when he asked, and be standing there, looking out for him, brushing a streak of hair out of her eyes, holding on to her bag more firmly than was necessary in this town.
"You're as reliable as a Polish builder," he told her one day.
"Is that good?"
"That's very good."
"Is English expression?"
"It is now."
She asked him to correct her English when she made a mistake. He got her to say "I don't think so" instead of "I do not think"; but actually, he preferred the way she talked. He always understood her, and those phrases which weren't quite right seemed part of her. Maybe he didn't want her talking like an Englishwoman in case she started behaving like an Englishwoman— well, like one in particular. And anyway, he didn't want to play the teacher.
It was the same in bed. Things are what they are, he said to himself. If she always wore a nightie, perhaps it was a Catholic thing—not that she ever mentioned going to church. If he asked her to do stuff to him, she did it, and seemed to enjoy it; but she didn't ask him to do stuff back to her—didn't even seem to like his hand down there much. But this didn't bother him; she was allowed to be who she was.
She never asked him in. If he dropped her off, she'd be trotting up the concrete path before he'd got the hand brake on; if he picked her up, she'd already be outside, waiting. At first this was fine, then it began to feel a bit odd, so he asked to see where she lived, just for a minute, so he could imagine where she was when she wasn't with him. They went back into the house— 1930s semi, pebbledash, multioccupation, metal window frames rusting up badly—and she opened her door. His professional eye took in the dimensions, furnishings, and probable rental cost; his lover's eye took in a small dressing table with photos in plastic frames and a picture of the Virgin. There was a single bed, tiny sink, rubbish microwave, small TV, and clothes on hangers clipped precariously to the picture rail. Something in him was touched by seeing her life exposed like that in the minute or so before they stepped outside again. To cover this sudden emotion, Vernon said,
"You shouldn't be paying more than fifty-five. Plus services. I can get you somewhere bigger for the same price."
"Is OK."
Now that spring was here, they went for drives into Suffolk and looked at English things: half-timbered houses with no damp courses, thatched roofs which put you in a higher insurance band. They stopped by a village green and he sat down on a bench overlooking a pond, but she didn't fancy that so they looked at the church instead. He hoped she wouldn't ask him to explain the difference between Anglicans and Catholics—or the history behind it all. Something about Henry the Eighth wanting to get married again. The king's knob. All sorts of things came down to sex if you looked at them closely enough. But happily she didn't ask.
She began to take his arm, and to smile more easily. He gave her the key to his flat; tentatively, she started leaving over night stuff there. One Sunday, in the dark, he reached across to the bedside drawer and found he was out of condoms. He swore, and had to explain.
"Is OK."
"No, Andrea, is bloody not OK. Last thing I need is you getting
"I do not think so. Not get pregnant. Is OK."
He trusted her. Later, as she slept, he wondered what exactly she had meant. That she couldn't have kids? Or that she was taking something herself, to make doubly sure? If so, what would the Virgin Mary have to say about that? Let's hope she isn't relying on the rhythm method, he suddenly thought. Guaranteed to fail on a regular basis and keep the pope as happy as Larry. Time passed; she met Gary and Melanie; they took to her. She didn't tell them what to do; they told her, and she went along with it. They also asked her questions he'd never dared, or cared, to ask.
"Andrea, are you married?"
"Can we watch TV as long as we like?"
"Were you married?"
"If I ate three would I be sick?"
"Why aren't you married?"
"How old are you?"
"What team do you support?"
"You got any children?"
"Are you and Dad getting married?"
He learnt the answers to some of these questions—like any sensible woman, she wasn't telling her age. One night, in the dark, after he'd delivered the kids back, and was too upset for sex, as he always was on these occasions, he said, "Do you think you could love me?"
"Yes, I think I would love you."
"Is that a would or a could?"
"What is the difference?"
He paused. "There's no difference. I'll take either. I'll take both. I'll take whatever you've got to give."

Hector competed in the 2012 RYA Volvo Youth National Championship at Pwllheli, Wales where he was crowned Laser Standard Youth National Champion, a title that he will defend in Largs, Scotland in April.
"I am very proud and I feel honoured to have won the RYA Yorkshire and Humber Young Sailor Award," said Hector. "I owe my success to lots of people who have helped and coached me over the past few years.
"I began sailing about ten years ago and when I was 11 I applied for the RYA Volvo Zone Squad. After that, under the guidance of coaches Martin Boatman and Dave Hivey, I really caught the racing bug."
"I am studying for A'levels in Maths, Further Maths, Chemistry and Physics so juggling time between sailing and studying is hard, especially as a lot of training and competitions take place down on the south coast."
He added: "I'm training with the RYA Volvo Laser Standard National Youth Squad over the winter," said Hector.
"My competition schedule for 2013 depends on how well this training goes but I'm hoping to be part of the GBR squad for some international competitions next summer."

Are you traveling during the holiday season?
In addition to planning where you're going to stay and what you're going to do, there is another important consideration: How are you going to store your medicines and vitamins in a way that will keep them out of the hands of young children in your family or the friends or family you're visiting?
More than 60,000 young children are brought to emergency rooms each year after taking a medicine not intended for them. In recent years, the number of accidental medicine overdoses in young children has increased by 20 percent. Swallowing an adult-strength vitamin can also endanger a child's health.
To reduce accidental exposure to medicines, FDA has been working on an initiative called PROTECT, led by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The initiative has created the Up and Away and Out of Sight educational program to help parents understand how to store and safeguard medicines.
With people planning holiday vacations, we want to remind parents and caregivers that they must also take precautions to make sure that kids don't get into medicines when they're staying in a hotel or are guests in someone else's home. A few simple steps followed every time can protect small children.
FDA, CDC, and the PROTECT Initiative have these tips for safely storing medicines while traveling:
- Put medicines away every time you use them. Remember to never leave medicine or vitamins out on a table, countertop, bedside table, or anywhere your children could reach them.
- Store your medicines in their original child-resistant containers. Other containers, such as pill organizers and baggies, often lack child-safety features.
- Always relock the safety cap on a medicine bottle. If it has a locking cap that turns, twist it until you hear the click.
- While staying in a hotel, secure your medicines and vitamins in a location that your children cannot see or reach, such as a high cabinet or passcode-protected hotel room safe.
- As a guest in another person's home, don't be shy about asking where you should put your medicines and vitamins, and remind others to keep their purses, bags, and coats that have medicines in them up and away and out of the sight and reach of children.
Program the national Poison Help number (1-800-222-1222) and other emergency contact numbers into your cell phone so you will have them when you need them. Poison Help Information is online at www.poisonhelp.hrsa.gov.

Hacking x-ray machines could get guns through airport security
Security researchers have discovered a potentially dangerous flaw in airport x-ray machines that would allow hackers to pass deadly weapons through security.
Billy Rios and Terry McCorkle of security firm Qualys discovered that a training function called Threat Image Projection, which superimposes fake images of contraband on the screen to train security personnel, could be manipulated to work in reverse, and project images of weapon-free luggage over top of the real thing.
The training software is present in all TSA scanners, and also on machines deployed in government buildings, embassies, courthouses, ports and border crossings.
"Someone could basically own this machine and modify the images that the operators see," Rios told Wired.
While experimenting with a scanner, the researchers were able to use a common hacking technique to bypass a supervisor's login credentials and usurp control of the screen that controls Threat Image Projection.

BRONSON - Southern Levy County residents pleaded with their leaders to reject a request for a special exception to allow a giant mine in the Gulf Hammock area.
County Commission Chairman Sammy Yearty told the group, led by Betty Berger of Inglis, that the commission would listen to them. Until the quasi-judicial hearing where the commission would decide whether to grant the special exception to zoning, however, the commissioners cannot comment about the issue.

Last CA BMW CCA HPDE of the year, 12.10.11-12.11.11
Willow Springs/Streets of Willow HPDE, December 10-11th 2011
Long, long time ago in a BMW CCA far, far away, we used to run some tracks that allow us to run in different directions and/or configurations differently on both days of a single weekend. It's an interesting concept, you're forced to learn how to driver rather than how to drive a SPECIFIC TRACK. A lot of times drivers get faster on Sunday simply because muscle memory sets in and they get comfortable with the track and its intricacies...
Well, rumor has it this last BMW CCA school of the year will feature TWO distinct tracks on both days. Willow Springs International Raceway on Saturday and Streets of Willows on Sunday. WSIR, a fast, sweeping course with high speed turns on day 1, and Streets of Willow, a tight, almost auto-cross like course with high technical difficulty and short straight on day 2. This will be the ultimate test for you as a driver, and for your car as a balanced chassis, because the two tracks are on the opposite ends of the spectrum in terms of features and designs. You may find success on day 1 with a high horsepower, high weight car, but it's going to take every bit of your driving skills to keep up on day two against older but smaller chassis on the tight course of SoW.
Like all CCA events, both days will be fully staffed with instructors to help you learn to master the intricacies of both tracks. If your holiday schedule does not permit, due to company holiday parties and such, you can do the one day format of either Saturday (WSIR) or Sunday (SoW). Even if you're an advanced driver, we still offer an intensive A+ program to fine-tune your driving for that last tenth of speed and consistency as well as bridge the gap between HPDEs and a full-on race school (believe you me, if you've never attended a race school, the gap between HPDE and race school, and actual RACING, is as wide as the Grand Canyon). You will have plenty of time to work on your own skillset on track, while getting fully immersed in discussions about the next level of driving with accomplished club racers and semi-professional racers as your in-class instructors.
The value of a CCA school for a driver still willing to learn can not be compared, BMW CCA simply runs the safest program and offers the best learning environment outside of 4 figure race/driving schools offered out there.
A couple of house cleaning notes, this will be Roger and Delight's last event as registrars. If you have a chance, before you leave during the weekend, be sure to extend some gratitude for the hard work they've put in to make these events a possibility in the chapter.
Also, National mandates club membership to participate in club events now, so if your BMW CCA membership has lapsed, or if you are not a BMW CCA member, please contact Delight and find out if the first time exemption is still in place for this event. Registration will close within the week so sign up NOW!

Welcome Desk Opens
One-to-One meetings
Marriott Downtown Calgary Hotel
Address: 110 9 Ave SE, Calgary
The Access MBA Team provides a unique consulting service to each qualified candidate. Over the past twelve years, our in-house MBA experts have invested considerable time evaluating each candidate's registration profile to better assess and advise individuals on their MBA project. The business school meetings are upon invitation only, and the selection process is conducted by an internal team of 10 highly experienced consultants led by Dr. Kalin Yanev, PhD in Psychology.
The MBA degree is designed for business professionals who hold at least a Bachelor's degree or the equivalent, and who are fluent in English. Potential applicants should have a minimum of 2 to 3 years of relevant work experience after graduation. The Access MBA consultants apply further selection criteria based on the suitability of candidates' profiles to the admissions requirements of the participating schools.
After candidates complete the online registration form, our MBA experts review each registrant's profile and call the most qualified candidates to gain a detailed understanding of each individual's MBA project, assess their motivation, and help them identify their options. Following this conversation, which is conducted in English, our consultants evaluate the MBA candidate's preferences and requirements, and match the candidate with appropriate business schools.
The MBA candidates selected for One-to-One meetings subsequently receive a list of their scheduled meetings with select business schools. Candidates are able to discuss the school list with their dedicated consultant, and amend it if necessary. In the case of late registration or if we are not able to reach a candidate over the phone, we invite the qualified registered candidates to consultation sessions organised on the first day of the event, in order to determine which schools they should meet at the event.
We recommend that candidates register early to benefit fully from this unique consulting service and prepare for the meetings by reading the profiles of the schools they are scheduled to meet.
"The whole concept is very good, the one-to-one approach for 20 minutes is perfect, definitely better and more efficient than a fair." Ian – Zurich candidate

"The private interviews with Admissions Officers and professional MBA counsellors are an outstanding idea. Access MBA helped me more than any other education fair." Jane – London candidate
"The MBA conference confirmed why should I do an MBA and the orientation with the consultant helped me to define my MBA project and decide how to choose the right school. Thank you." Amarja – Dubai candidate
"Before coming, I was only targeting top 10 business schools. I'm now more deeply involved in this project and keen on applying for the MBA that is right for me – and maybe closer to home. After meeting other top MBA programmes, my criteria has changed and I think I am now ready to take the right decision." Milan candidate
"The individual meetings with Business School Representatives as well as the GMAT advisor and the MBA consultant have been supportive and enriching." Javier – Madrid candidate REGISTER NOW!

The University of South Carolina's Lab Theater will produce "Bent," a play that enlightens audiences about the struggles of gays in Germany during Hitler's rule.
"Bent" will be performed Nov. 18-21 at the Lab Theater at 1400 Wheat St.
Showtimes are 8 p.m. nightly, and tickets are $5 at the door.
Directed by Robert Richmond, associate professor of theater, "Bent" follows Max, a promiscuous gay man in 1930s Berlin, who is at odds with his wealthy family because of his homosexuality. As the play unfolds, Max and his boyfriend are taken to a concentration camp by Nazi soldiers and undergo an emotional journey about commitment, survival and the struggles of gay Germans during the Holocaust.
Richmond earned accolades from The Washington Post and other Washington, D.C. media for his directing of Henry VIII at the Folger Shakespeare Theatre in Washington.
The play's title refers to the slang word for homosexuals used in some European countries. When the play was first performed in 1979, very little historical data, or even awareness, existed regarding Nazi persecution of homosexuals.
Martin Sherman's play took London by storm when it was first performed by the Royal Court Theatre.
"It educated the world," Sherman said. "People knew about how the Third Reich treated Jews and, to some extent, gypsies and political prisoners, but very little had come out about their treatment of homosexuals."
Gays were arrested and interned at work camps prior to the genocide of Jews, gypsies and the handicapped and continued to be imprisoned even after the fall of the Third Reich and liberation of the camps. The play highlights the reason why: a largely ignored German law, Paragraph 175, making homosexuality a criminal offense, which Hitler reactivated and strengthened during his rise to power.
For more information about this and other Lab Theater or Theater South Carolina productions, contact Kevin Bush at 803-777-9353 or bushk.mailbox.sc.edu.
- What: Play about struggles of gays in Germany during Hitler's rule
- When: Nov. 18-21, 8 p.m.
- Where: Lab Theater, 1400 Wheat St

When Pat Fieldgrove started working from home in 2005, the Long Beach resident wasn't sure if she could make it work initially.
"I had never telecommuted before, so I was concerned that I would be distracted and wouldn't be able to work," said Fieldgrove, who works as a design engineer for Carousel Inc., a technology solutions provider based in Rhode Island. "But actually you can get more done when you telecommute because you don't have anybody popping into your cubicle asking questions all day."
Fieldgrove is among the 2.8million people in the U.S. who call home their primary place of work, according to the latest American Community Survey data. (That doesn't include the self-employed or unpaid volunteers.)
Telecommuting, or working remotely, is hardly a new concept. The term was coined in 1973 by Jack Nilles, who thought of ways to cut down on time and energy-wasting commutes and allow people to work locally.
But the number of those in the telecommuting workforce is growing.
In the Los Angeles, Long Beach and Santa Ana area, the number of telecommuters grew 38 percent in the last five years. That's 9.6 times higher than the growth of the nontelecommuting population, said Kate Lister, president of Telework Research Network, a Carlsbad-based consulting and research group that specializes in "making the business case for workplace flexibility."
"Three years ago, private companies used telecommuting as a way to hire and retain good people - saving money was rarely mentioned," Lister said. "But then came the recession and the tables turned."
As fuel prices rise and commercial office space grow scarce, more and more companies have looked at telecommuting to save money.
"This economy has really changed people's minds," Lister said.
As for Fieldgrove, telecommuting has allowed her to work from the comfort of her Bixby Knolls home office instead of driving long distances or having to move to San Diego or San Mateo, the closest Carousel office locations.
"I have spent the majority of my career driving to offices that were an hour away - in Pasadena, Glendale and Santa Fe Springs," she said.
"I could work in an office again, but I really do enjoy working from home. I have flexibility in my job. I can take the dogs to the vet or be here when the plumbing needs fixing. I can take breaks in the middle of the day. As long as I get my work done and am responsive to work issues, I can make my own hours."

We all know that 'breast is best'. Breastmilk is Nature's Perfect Milk - a wonderful source of nutrition and comfort for babies and children. Imagine if we truly celebrated breastfeeding - what would that look like, would it change attitudes? Imagine if new mums were praised and valued for having breastfed their baby. Imagine if negative or discouraging breastfeeding comments were unheard of. What if new mums felt so empowered and proud that they would happily feed their baby whenever they needed feeding, wherever that may be.
Imagine if mums who breastfed toddlers and older children only experienced encouraging smiles and welcoming attitudes. What if we felt confident to allow our children to take the lead with when they were ready to be weaned; free from the pressures of those around us. What would the health and developmental consequences be?
Imagine if breastfeeding was truly celebrated. What would that mean for our children?
'A newborn baby has only three demands. They are warmth in the arms of its mother, food, from her breasts, and security in the knowledge of her presence. Breastfeeding satisfies all three'. Grantly Dick-Read

With America's ever increasing dependence on technology, the nation is more vulnerable than ever to possible threats that, some argue, could set the United States back to the 19th century. In his new book titled A Nation Forsaken EMP: The Escalating Threat of an American Catastrophe, Michael Maloof explains how an electromagnetic pulse could negatively impact millions of Americans.
An electromagnetic pulse or EMP, can be created by the high altitude detonation of a nuclear device or solar flares, among other things. It possesses the ability, unless the appropriate measures are taken, to render useless all kinds of technology relying on electricity. That includes just about everything.

Roof rack
Has anyone every installed a roof rack? Where did you purchase? Any pictures?
I bought it on-line...don't remember now where. It was about a 25% discount verses direct from the dealer. It just looks like a roof rack! The pictures on the BMW website are accurate.
You have to set some plastic surface protecting pieces in the wells in the roof with some double-stick tape the first time you use the thing and adjust the exact length to fit across the vehicle, but other than that, the next time it just screws in with the included t-handled torx wrench (which is also a torque wrench!). The rack's feet sit on that plastic in the well which keeps the paint from being rubbed. Note, the skirt on the feet of the rack do NOT touch the vehicle's roof, only the feet that sit in the well, so the whole foot assembly sits above the roof a bit (maybe 1/4" or so - the body of the rails, maybe 3" above the roof).
I used mine to carry a recumbent trike, but it was quite noisy...I ended up getting a trailer hitch installed and now carry it in the rear in a basket- no noise or fuel penalty. Still, for a short trip to carry something bulky, it can be handy if it won't or you don't want to carry it inside. Not sure I'd want to carry something like a box up there on a long trip, but I'd expect it would be quieter than the open structure of my trike!
I'd read some reviews of (I think it was) Thule where their mount sits on the roof (but still anchors into the factory bits), but the feet dented the roof. I'd have otherwise bought the right feet for the bars I have (have both a Yakima and Thule mount for older cars) but instead sprung for yet a third rack system. The bar shapes are different, but you may be able to use some accessories with some creative attachments - I used the basket and used SS hose clamps to mate it to the rails.
Hi there, I purchased the BMW racks for my wife's 2011 528i off ebay from a BMW dealership in the midwest, saved a few dollars over buying it local here in So Cal. Actually, I have had quite a large number of compliments on the style and look of the BMW racks - it really does look kind of cool on the 528i (which sits a bit lower than the GT's). If left on for daily driving, you will notice wind noise. I have left them on for a long period of time, makes it convenient for a quick run to the beach with the SUP's.

text: SourceFREMONT, CALIFORNIA, November 3, 1012 (San Jose Mercury News): The best things in life are supposed to be free, but a Hindu temple here angered worshippers Friday with the announcement that it would ask for money to take part in an annual ceremony."They're making the temple a place for moneymaking, and that's wrong," said Fremont resident Rita Ratra. "It's not a mall, or something like that."The Vedic Dharma Samaj Hindu Temple in Fremont asked worshippers to pay $11 to participate in Karva Chauth, a religious observance in which a married Hindu woman fasts most of the day and prays for her husband to enjoy long life and happiness. A page on the temple's website announcing Karva Chauth includes the notation: "Participation -- $11."Seema Dubey said she and her friends are upset because they have been attending the temple's poojas -- religious rituals where offerings are made to Hindu deities -- for years and have never been charged before. "Everyone has their right to attend this," Dubey said. "This is a temple, and they should not make it commercial."Leaders of other temples, stretching from the South Bay to the Midwest, said that even asking for financial donations is out of the ordinary. At Balaji Temple in San Jose, priest Anandanatha Swami said a special pooja was scheduled Friday night with free food for worshipers with no suggested donation. "Anything given from their heart will be accepted," he said. Rathinam Kumar, president of the Wisconsin-based American Hindu Association, said it is not standard for money to be given to enter a temple. "I don't know about California, but normally, anyone can get into the temple anytime," he said.But Govind Pasumarthi, the volunteer coordinator of the Vedic Dharma Samaj Hindu Temple in Fremont, said there was nothing unusual about the suggested donation. "It's not a fee; it's not mandatory," Pasumarthi said. "Nobody will be turned away." He said admission to a regular pooja always is free, but the temple suggested that observers pay Friday because Karva Chauth is a yearly celebration, involving special rituals in which as many as 2,000 women participate throughout the day. He said the temple may continue the practice for other special occasions.From 1:30 p.m. to about 9 p.m. Friday, scores of married Hindu women -- dressed in a traditional Indian sari or salwar kameez and carrying a thali, or a traditional plate -- entered the temple in Fremont's Grimmer neighborhood for the annual ritual. Several said they were told at the front door they should pay $11 to enter, but those who didn't were allowed in."Those that paid received an admission ticket, like a movie or a show," said Sandhya Khurana, a Fremont resident. "This is part of our culture and they're trying to turn it into a business."The temple is a nonprofit, tax-exempt religious organization dedicated to serving the religious and cultural needs of the Hindu community, according to its website. The organization relies on donations to survive, especially as it pays down expenses, including $80,000 spent on renovating the temple's parking lot, as well as its flooring and carpeting, Pasumarthi said. The number of temple attendees has grown by three or four times in the past five years and as many as 3,000 people will attend special occasions, such Karva Chauth."We've gone from one or two priests to having five or six," he said.Pasumarthi said that donating money falls in line with Hindu tradition, in which a typical pooja is considered incomplete without an offering some kind. "Giving is considered noble, whether it's shelter or food or money to those in need," he said.But some Hindu women at the temple Friday saw it differently, saying that they worried the temple was discouraging people from attending. Some said they believed that the presence of the media forced the temple to be less aggressive in its requests for money to enter.Pasumarthi said the women's complaints should be taken with a grain of salt. "The ladies have been fasting since morning," he said, "so we can't expect them to be in the best of moods."

'Complex' addresses decision to publish Wale rant
"Complex" magazine is addressing the decision to publish Wale's heated reaction to not being included on the magazine's list of 50 Best Albums of 2013.
Senior Editor Rob Krenner says that after the rapper called the magazine last week to complain about the snub, editors spent the afternoon debating about whether to publish his words.
While some believed the dispute should be handled behind the scenes, they ultimately decided that it was better to publicly document the phone call, which included threats to "Complex" staff. Kenner says the threats "must be taken seriously and addressed."
He also called Wale's threats a "legitimate story" that warranted coverage.
Even though the magazine decided publish the phone call, Kenner says they still recognize the "value in maintaining a healthy working relationship with [Wale] and the rest of his MMG affiliates."

Teething Problems
Hello, I am a 45 year old mother and was looking for some advice if someone might just be kind enough to help?
Are there any products you can suggest to help with teething? My little Precious just is miserable. She keeps us up all night and is just miserable and over tired all day. I did not know babies would have such a hard time with teeth erupting. My mother used to rub my gums with wiskey but I was not sure that might hurt Precious. Does anyone have any suggestions that they tried with their baby?
11th April 2012 12:43 AM #2
Hi cutiecat,
How old is your daughter? If she is over 6 months then chewing on cold sticks of cucumber might help to relieve the pain. if she is younger than this, then you can buy teething toys you put in the fridge.
One of my friends used an Amber Teething Bracelet (which her baby wore all the time) - he almost never suffered with teething. I'm not sure what the evidence base is like for this but it is meant to give natural soothing properties. I guess it's worth a try!
There's always baby bonjela - this has been a life saver at times in our house. Or for a natural remedy - 1 drop of clove oil in a tablespoon of almond oil: a little rubbed on the gums. However, you have to be careful not to give too much of this as an excess can cause the gums to blister.

Hi Ljmarsden,
Thank you for your suggestions to help with teething. Precious is 7 months old, I forgot to mention that, my goodness no sleep will do that to you! I especially like the one with the cucumber and that seems to have done the trick for today. I will use the Bojela at night so she can sleep.
You are a lifesaver!

No sleep certainly does funny things to my brain!
Glad the teething has settled down today. My little boy got 4 teeth in really quick succession at your daughter's age and then it settled down for a few months. Hopefully your daughter will also have a break from teething soon!
Please post back if you need any more suggestions.

Once again, some great suggestions from Laura-Jane.
There are homeopathic remedies which can also help calm a teething baby. I like the Bojela suggestion for helping her sleep for longer periods of time. Homeopathics can be used in conjunction with other medications/products and it's definitely something I'd try.

Family Foundations
The Council on Foundations defines a family foundation as one whose funds are derived from members of a single family, though this is not a legal term and has no precise definition. The Council on Foundations suggests that family foundations have at least one family member serving as an officer or board member of the foundation and, as the donor, that individual (or a relative) must play a significant role in governing and/or managing the foundation. Most family foundations are run by family members who serve as trustees or directors on a voluntary basis. In many cases, second- and third-generation descendants of the original donors manage the foundation.
Family foundations make up over half of all private (family, corporate, independent, and operating) foundations, or 40,456 out of approximately 73,764 foundations (Foundation Center, 2011). Family foundations make up approximately one-third of the Council's membership.
Family foundations range in asset size from a few hundred thousand dollars to more than $1 billion. The holdings of family foundations total approximately $294 billion, or about 44 percent of all foundation holdings of $662 billion. Despite this, three out of five family foundations hold assets of less than $1 million. Family foundations gave away approximately $21.3 billion in grants in 2011 (The Foundation Center, 2011).
Below is everything on our site for family foundations. You can use the filtering options on the right to narrow these results.

I was introduced to this product by my mother (who takes it in powder form and had tried to get me to drink it unsuccessfully). With my last pregnancy however, I was anemic and instead of taking prenatal vitamins and iron supplements, I finally took my mom's advice, and got the Amazing super green food, in pill form. Fantastic results. Feeling a little blah so I decided to start taking them again.
useful product
Posted by Reviewer1099448 on Jun 16, 2009 | Verified Purchase
Helps me get the green food I seek. Also comes as a powder rather than capsul which is a better deal for the money, but the capsuls are convenient. A little of the powdered version before a softball game provides noticeable energy so I can keep up with or outplay guys in their 50s. (I am 65).
took away my son's acidity

My son had a problem for almost a year (diagnosed for almost a year, that is) with high acidity in his body. I've tried things unsuccessfully to correct this. This product reversed that in his body! It will become a daily vitamin for him from now on.
Not too sure if it works

I can't say enough good things about this product. It is a simple, pure,all organic green foods supplement. I wouldn't be without this! Highly recommended for energy, alkalinizing, and general youthfulness. People have been telling me "how good I look" since taking this product, and this is music to my ears after looking terrible due to past stress and illness. I wouldn't go without this product.
Excellent product

Won't live without it!

Good potencies of all the greens without having to take 16 capsules....5 is a "do-able" amount given all the other supplements I take. Definitely gives a good energy boost without jitters. Combats the aging process and is great for everything. My kids take it too since it helps balance out the terrible teenager diets. I would absolutely recommend that you add this to your daily routine. Buy a bottle....you will love it!!
Love this product

I really enjoy this product it is easy to use and combines many aspects that I am trying to cover in my healthy lifestyle. The combination of the many items is wonderful and saves me a lot of money. This product is superb in quality. I won't hesitate to purchase again.

CLAREMONT - Claremont McKenna College trustee and alumnus A. Steve Crown and wife, Nancy, have given the college a $7.5 million gift.
The Claremont Hall residence hall will be named in the family's honor, college officials said in a Thursday news release.
"I am so pleased to be a member of the Claremont McKenna College community and to be able to help make a difference," Crown said in a statement. "Nancy and I are thrilled that our gift is continuing to support the academic excellence that the college is known for and that the board has seen fit to name this magnificent hall in our honor."
Officials said the Crown family started the alumni re-engagement-centered Crown Challenge, which in three years has helped increase alumni participation from 38 percent to 48 percent.
The Crowns' gift pushes the Campaign for Claremont McKenna past the $610 million mark.
CMC president Pamela B. Gann said the naming of the award-winning Silver LEED residence hall for the Crowns was fitting.
"When one of our students heard about this new gift he said that it was great that alumni are giving for the improvement of students' experiences at the college," Gann said.
"Steve and Nancy Crown understand the importance of terrific residence halls at our college, where at least 95 percent of our students live on campus all four years."
LEED is Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design - a four-tier rating system for high-performance green buildings by the U.S. Green Building Council.
The residence hall is along Amherst Avenue. Architectural judges selected it as the 2009 Residential Architect Design Award, officials said.
Earlier this month, the Campaign for Claremont McKenna surpassed its $600 million goal with a $50 million gift from trustee and alumnus George R. Roberts.
Before this year's gifts, the campus received a $200 million gift from alumnus Robert Day in 2007 to create premier training in economics, finance and accounting at the graduate and undergraduate levels.
Board chairman Harry T. McMahon was excited about the Crowns' gift.
"Steve Crown's generosity is as big and broad as his philanthropic vision," McMahon said in a statement. "The Crown Challenge has been one of the most impressive gifts ever to CMC and now Steve and Nancy have given the college another notable contribution and we are very grateful."
