T-Birds Shock Jaguars In Opener
MOBILE, Ala., Aug. 29 –Colton Cook kicked a 28-yard field goal as time expired to lift Southern Utah to a 22-21 come-back win over South Alabama Thursday night.
After scoring the first 10 points of the game the Thunderbirds were outscored 21-3 and found themselves down 21-13 early in the fourth quarter but the Thunderbirds rallied, pulling within 21-19 after Tommy Collet Jr. intercepted a pass at the 43 yard line to set up a drive that culminated when Aaron Cantu found Anthony Norris on a 2-yard pass with 6:13 to play. It was the first touchdown pass at SUU for Cantu and the first TD reception for Norris.
SUU's two-point conversion attempt failed, leaving the T-Birds short but still within striking distance.
The Thunderbird defense then held the Jaguars, forcing a punt that set SUU up on its own 35 yard line. The T-Birds went with four straight running plays, then had a near-miscue work in their favor as Griff McNabb was late getting onto the field on second and 13. The Jaguar defense didn't see McNabb, but Cantu did and hit him for a 16-yard gain that put the ball on the USA 27 yard line.
McNabb's play wasn't designed, SUU Coach Ed Lamb noted. "It wasn't a trick play, it was just a read. [McNabb] just came in late – we had a substitution issue – it wasn't intentional deception even though it did deceive them the intent of the play was not to deceive them. It was an unfortunate series of events for their defense and we got a little lucky."
The Thunderbirds ran the ball down the the 11, with Malik Brown providing a 13-yard gain along the way, setting Cook up for the game-winner.
Southern Utah scored the first 10 points of the game on a 33-yard Colton Cook field goal and a one-yard Raysean Martin run.
Cook's field goal capped the Thunderbirds' first drive of the season, a 12-play, 61-yard effort in which Martin carried four times for 31 yards. Martin's touchdown run was set up by a 54-yard pass from Aaron Cantu to Chandler Allphin. It appeared Allphin might take it in himself but USA's Qudarius Ford caught him from behind on the eight yard line. Martin took it to one on first-and-goal, then took it into the end zone on second down.
After starting the game flat USA rallied with backup quarterback Brandon Bridge came on and ran a 40-yard QB draw up the middle for a touchdown to cut the SUU edge to 10-7, which was the score at halftime.
The Thunderbirds went up 13-7 on a 37-yard cook field goal early in the fourth period, but USA answered with a TD on its ensuing drive then took the 21-13 lead on Ross Metheny's second TD pass of the game, a 20-yard hookup with Danny Woodson.
"I was really proud of the way our guys fought," Lamb noted. "We had the game early … but South Alabama wrestled it away from us there in the third quarter, but our guys didn't start bickering, they didn't start fighting with each other, they stayed with the plan, they made some plays down the stretch, just enough plays to win."
NOTES: Martin wound up with 107 yards on 23 carries ... Aaron Cantu's first completion as a Thunderbird was a 12-yard hook-up with Griff McNabb for a first down on the Thunderbirds' first drive of the season … Martin's first carry as a Thunderbird went for five yards … defensive tackle Toi Taufa, who was playing in his first game since graduating from high school in 2010, was credited with blocking a field goal attempt midway through the second quarter … Anthony Norris caught his first collegiate pass and scored his first touchdown on Cantu's first TD pass at SUU … The win was Ed Lamb's first win in a road-opener and his second in an opening game in his six-year SUU career … SUU had 317 yard sof total offense, 183 through the air and 134 on the ground; USA and 335 yards, 187 rushing and 148 passing.

Food kiosk robbed, clerk assaulted
Saturday afternoon, Beaverton Police Officers were dispatched to a robbery and assault call at the Beaverton City Park. A male suspect had robbed a food kiosk that is located at the park and physically assaulted the clerk.
The suspect entered the kiosk and struck the female clerk in the head with a soda can. The suspect then grabbed the cash register and ran out of the kiosk and dropped the cash register near the door. The suspect grabbed some of the cash from the register and ran behind the city library where his car was parked. The suspect then fled the area in a black Subaru Forester. The clerk was not seriously injured and was not transported to a hospital.
There were a number of witnesses to this crime who were in the park and some of them were able to get photographs of the suspect and his vehicle. The photographs were given to the police at the location and they were then sent out to officers searching the area for the suspect. A Beaverton officer was driving through the Franklin Apartments and saw a vehicle that matched the vehicle in the photos.
The owner of this vehicle was identified as Samuel Edward Paul 38 years old of Beaverton. The photographs provided by the witnesses matched the driver's license photo of Paul. Paul was located in the apartment complex and was arrested without incident. Paul has been charged with Robbery 1 and Assault 2 and will be lodged at the Washington County Jail.

Video: Why Is My Tea On the Ceiling?! Or, 'Sesame Street' Spoofs 'Downton Abbey'
'Sesame Street' added 'Downton Abbey' to their arsenal of hilarious pop culture spoofs with "Upside Downton Abbey." Watch it here!
-Lucia Peters
Have you been watching the latest season of Downton Abbey, Bettys? I was actually able to get my hands on the whole season when it aired in the UK in the fall, and all I can say is, DOWNTON ABBEY, WHY MUST YOU KEEP DOING THIS TO ME?
Happily, though, we've now got something to bring a little levity to the situation. Sesame Street, which is well known for its hilarious kid-friendly spoofs of not-so-kid-friendly shows, has added Downton Abbey to their arsenal. Check it out here!
The skit, entitled "Upside Downton Abbey," consists of Muppet Carson bringing various food items to the Muppet Dowager Countess—only to have each thing fall to the ceiling before she can eat it because they're upside down (they do live at Upside Downton Abbey, after all). Muppet Carson suggests that maybe if they turn themselves right side up, they wouldn't be having all these flying food problems—to which Muppet Dowager Countess replies, "Don't be ridiculous. We very well can't be right side up in Upside Downton Abbey. It is SIMPLY… not done."
Read 25 Things About Quvenzhane Wallis
So what's a poor Muppet to do? Watch it and find out!
To be honest, I'm not totally sure if the skit is supposed to teach kids about gravity or whether it's supposed to teach them about the importance of being flexible in one's thinking; but either way, I'll take it.
Tell us: What television show would you most like to see Sesame Street spoof?

Art is the representation of freedom, communication and expression in today's world. Creativity is something we all have innately within us, without which society today would not exist as it does now. I am an artist-teacher: an artist at the same time as a teacher of art and design. I studied Fine Art as a degree across three countries, finally specialising in painting and eventually decided on doing my HDip to qualify for Art and Design teaching in second level education. My passion for Art started as far back as I can remember and it has fuelled my whole life. I have become immersed in many different areas of Art including textiles, ceramics, sculpture, print, digital media, graphic design, drawing and painting. Much of my work is inspired by my travels, concepts of identity, and human relationships. Life should be full of colour, vitality and passion and my work tends to follow this philosophy.

Greenpeace Gives Macbook Air "B-"
Jason Mick
January 18, 2008 2:11 PM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
While getting better, Greenpeace feels Apple has a long way to go
Apple Inc. founder and CEO Steve Jobs is a
self-proclaimed environmentalist and experiencer of nature
. He has a warm relationship with famed Nobel-prize-winning environmental activist and former Vice President Al Gore, and has always been labeled as overly environmentally oriented by his critics. Still, Apple Inc.'s processes rely on conventional cost-effective, but sometimes mildly toxic, solutions found in much of the rest of the industry.
This has led to harsh words between Jobs and environmental activists, such as Greenpeace. At last Macworld Expo Greenpeace protesters disrupted the Apple-loving festivities with a vocal rally against the company's production logistics. This led to Jobs sardonically remarking that the activists should, "get out of the computer business [and] go save some whales."
Apple subsequently
ejected Greenpeace from the Macworld Expo grounds
Greenpeace lost no love with Apple when it late last year slammed them with a report claiming their
iPhone and iPod lines were "toxic"
. Apple predictably fired back, firmly
denying that its products were harmful
This year's Macworld Expo showcased a possible
cooling of tensions between Apple and Greenpeace
. For a change, there were no Greenpeace demonstrators to be seen, and Jobs for the first time focused on environmental specs in his keynote address.
The keynote's primary focus is in Apple's laptop market "killer-app," the Macbook Air, one of the
world's thinnest laptop design
s. When presenting the Macbook, Jobs noted that the thin aluminum casing is not only good looking, but also fully recyclable, with aluminum being one of the most easy to recycle materials.
He went on to proudly announce that the Air will sport the company's first mercury and arsenic free display and all Apple circuit boards (which due to the form factor are the majority of components) will be free of brominated flame retardants (BFRs) and poly-vinyl chloride (PVC).
The use of BFRs and PVC are still relatively abundant in the consumer electronics industry, but their use was among the factors that Greenpeace ripped Apple's iPhone on. PVC is a plastic used for casings and moldings, while BFRs are used as a flame retardant to protect circuit boards from fires upon overheating. Several major manufacturers had already heeded environmental concerns and began removing these substances from their manufacturing processes.
Rick Hind, the legislative director of Greenpeace's toxics campaign, which recently
ripped on video game console manufacturers
, said that Apple was making some good steps, but was still performing rather poorly -- sort of like a B- student. He said, "Apple is getting greener, but not green enough. The Macbook Air has less toxic PVC plastic and less toxic BFRs, but it could have zero and that would make Apple an eco-leader."
Greenpeace also criticized Apple for Job's unfulfilled promise in 2007 in an
open letter
(PDF), in which he stated that Apple would eliminate all BFRs and PVC plastics from its product lines by the end of 2008.
Is Greenpeace picking on Apple? Hind noted that Apple is often unhappy with Greenpeace's criticism, saying, "Apple sometimes gets really defensive. They say: Why are you picking on us -- especially when we have such a small market share compared to the rest of the industry?"
Hind explains that the simple reason for targeting Apple is that it is seen as an innovator and tech leader, more so than traditional manufacturers like HP and Dell. If they single Apple out, he feels, it will both raise awareness on the issue and get other companies to follow in suit.
Jobs made a promise at the Macworld Expo to continue to deliver environmental reports on new and updated Apple products in his keynote speeches and to focus more on green issues. For now, he has earned a passing grade from Greenpeace, the kind that leaves a slightly sour taste in one's mouth -- above average, but still rather unsatisfactory.
"So if you want to save the planet, feel free to drive your Hummer. Just avoid the drive thru line at McDonalds." -- Michael Asher

This picture is a true reflection of how cruel fish poaching is to wildlife. This is the reason why as Zimbabwe Parks and Wildlife Management Authority we have always declared war on poachers. Such irresponsible fishing exposes other wildlife species to danger. Thank you to our stakeholders for alerting us of the danger the bird, Goliath Heron, is under. We are working flat out, together with our stakeholders, to ensure that the bird is freed from the fishing net tangled around its beak.
The bird is resident on the Kuimba Shiri side of Lake Chivero. We have further established that the fish netting has been around the bird for quite some time now. Hopefully the fish netting is only wrapped around its beak and has not been swallowed but in the event it has proper channels will be taken.

Utah Jazz assistant Jeff Hornacek has emerged as a candidate for vacant head coaching jobs in Philadelphia and Charlotte.
Hornacek could also become a factor in Phoenix's search for a coach, which will get serious once the Suns name a new general manager.
Yahoo! Sports first reported the 76ers received permission from the Jazz to discuss their job with Hornacek, who spent two seasons in Philadelphia during his 14-year playing career. Other known candidates to replace Doug Collins as coach of the Sixers are Golden State assistant Mike Malone and Indiana assistant Brian Shaw.
In Charlotte, the Bobcats are looking to replace Mike Dunlap, who was fired two weeks ago after only one season.
The Charlotte Observer reported Friday that L.A. Lakers assistant Steve Clifford has become the sixth known candidate for the job joining former Phoenix head coach Alvin Gentry and four other assistants: Cleveland's Nate Tibbetts, Houston's Kelvin Sampson, the Suns' Elston Turner and Hornacek.
It's also possible Hornacek's name will surface in Phoenix.
The Suns have named three finalists for their general manager's job, including Boston assistant GM Ryan McDonough, Milwaukee assistant GM Jeff Weltman and San Antonio assistant GM Scott Layden.
Yes, that Scott Layden.
After two stints with the Jazz spanning 25 years, Layden left Utah a year ago to join the Spurs' front office.
Layden was the NBA's Executive of the Year in 1995. He helped build two teams in Utah which reached the Finals in 1997 and 1998.
Meanwhile, former Jazz head coach Jerry Sloan told Fox Sports Florida on Thursday he would be willing to return to the NBA "if I thought it was the right situation."
Sloan, who is 71, abruptly resigned on Feb. 20, 2011. He has been out of coaching since then, but in the last year has repeatedly expressed interest in returning under the right circumstances. Sloan has not been approached by any of the teams currently looking for a new coach, he said.

When a Super Bowl goes dark for 34 minutes, someone's got some explaining to do.
In 2004, CBS was left groveling in how to absolve itself from the famous "wardrobe malfunction" during halftime.
Nine years later, the network had more trouble making the right connections in how to convey why an electrical malfunction was about to change the momentum of Super Bowl XLVII.
In a game that may have started at 3:30 p.m. but lasted so long some DVRs switched over to "Downton Abbey" at 7, CBS' awkward time-filling during the blackout that took more than a half hour to resolve was one of the more surreal moments in sports TV broadcasting history.
It was strange enough that the mikes went out for Jim Nantz and Phil Simms, but Steve Tasker was given the task of guiding viewers through what was going on.
Or, studio host James Brown, who continued to say, "If you're just joining us," and then vamping as if viewers must have just stumbled onto the game. While meandering analysis and dead jokes by Shannon Sharpe filled the air, no one could pin down the NFL for a statement?
With about eight minutes left in the game, CBS decided to issue its own statement:
"Immediately after the power failure in the Superdome, we lost numerous cameras and some audio powered by sources in the Superdome. We utilized CBS' back-up power and at no time did we leave the air. During the interruption, CBS Sports' Steve Tasker, Solomon Wilcots and our studio team reported on the situation as a breaking news story, providing updates and reports while full power was being restored to the dome including our sets and broadcast booth. All commercial commitments during the broadcast are being honored."
And they issued this why? To absolve themselves from blame?
That's not the point.
Tasker told viewers "There was no danger, no one is injured," and eventually reported it was "an outside power feed that went dead. No question, this is a bonus for the 49 ers. That game was about to get away from them."
The most interesting reporting on the situation may have come from Mike Pereira, the former NFL official rival network Fox uses for rules explanation. Pereira tweeted out: "If the commish was told the lights weren't going to come back on tonight, he could order the game resumed tomorrow."
Simms' scramble
When a former Super Bowl MVP and quarterback of the New York Giants cramps up on how to map strategy for viewers with an NFL championship on the line, be surprised. And perhaps concerned.
Kind of ironic it was during his descriptions of a quarterback sack that the CBS audio went out, as did a blackout that hit the Mercedes Benz Superdome, at the 13:22 mark in the third quarter of Sunday's Super Bowl XLVII.
Simms was in the middle of explaining how San Francisco's Colin Kaepernick couldn't avoid a sack by Baltimore's Arthur Jones: "He is going to throw this down the middle to Vernon Davis. Watch. But look at the safety, he antic ..."
And then, nothing. Kind of like a World Series in San Francisco.
That made almost as much sense as anything when Simms, who has called six previous Super Bowls for NBC and CBS coming into Sunday, seemed to have his own knowledge outage during what will be remembered as the Blackout Bowl.
Early on, Simms was showing signs of confusion when he wavered on whether Baltimore coach John Harbaugh made a strange call on a fake field goal with a 14-3 lead late in the second quarter.
While many on Twitter questioned the play call, Simms responded: "Yeah, it was a ... listen, I'm not going to second-guess the call. I understand why they did it."
In the closing minutes, after the game took a dramatic turn following the power outage, the 49 ers were in position for a go-ahead touchdown. Kaepernick's fourth-down pass was incomplete. Was Baltimore guilty of pass interference?
Initially, Simms says no. Then, after another couple of angles, he says: "The more angles I see the more confused I get." He finally declares: "It's hard to throw a penalty flag in that situation."
Nantz then asks him to "do the math" and figure out how the last minute-plus could play out. Simms again appeared stumped.
The climactic moment came at the end when Simms couldn't seem to piece together the facts as to why Baltimore could benefit from taking a safety in the last moments of the game when punting on fourth down with 12 seconds left and a five-point lead.
"Any reason to take a safety here?" Nantz asked, put in the role of set-up man all night.
"No, I would not," Simms said. "I would punt it."
Baltimore then called timeout.
"Let's think about it, you bring up a great point," Simms backtracks. "You take a safety, 34-31, you punt the football ..."
"Free kick from the 20," Nantz added, continuing to walk him through it.
"No, I would not do it," Simms concluded without further discussion.
The snap is made, Baltimore punter Sam Koch knocks eight seconds off the clock dancing in the end zone, runs out of bounds and takes the safety.
"The 49 ers were not ready for that," Simms concluded.
Nor, it seems, was he.
After the power came back and CBS retained its audio in the third quarter, Nantz joked it was Simms' powering up his cellphone that caused all the problems.
"Yeah, I was doing some of my best work during that blackout," Simms joked.
But not many were laughing.
More smokes, chokes and things to poke:
== The silver lining to CBS' playbook was going to see the CBSSports. com live player to watch the various angles offered aside from the TV main shots. Despite the slight delay at times, the cable camera that slides overhead provided the coolest consistent shots. It was interesting as well to see the "fan choice" camera that often stayed on 49ers head coach Jim Harbaugh no matter what was happening on the field - even after the first Baltimore touchdown.
In all, the "All-22" angle overhead often gave the best look at formations before the snap, as what a coach would see from a press box, or what Simms would get when explaining a play.
== CBS may have introduced new graphics to the broadcast -- a tweak to its time and score box -- but do you think many noticed?
More may have found the "hEYEper zoom" camera to be more beneficial -- a replay camera that can zoom more clearly on a play to see if there's something worth noting. It was used once, and clearly, to show the ball punched out of the hands of 49ers running back LaMichael James before he hit the ground in the second quarter, giving the ball correctly to Baltimore.
== At the end of the first half, Nantz had to remind Simms in 2006, they once saw Indianapolis trail 21-6 to New England at the intermission before they rallied for a 38-34 win in the AFC title game. It might have just been a way to keep viewers from wandering off, but it turned to be almost prophetic.
== Nantz seemed to dance his way on reference to either coach by calling them "Jim" or "John" whenever they came up on the screen.
== Dial Global tweeted out a photo of Kevin Harlan, doing play-by-play of the game on radio with Boomer Esiason, actually staying on the air during the power outage by talking through a landline phone.
== During the pregame, San Francisco 49 ers exec Jed York showed off the concept of the team's new $1.2 billion, 68,500-seat stadium that's being built in Santa Clara during the pregame.
"Don't be surprised if you see Super Bowl 50 in that new stadium," Esiason said coming out of the clip.
Does that mean there's no more talk of the Coliseum, where Super Bowl I was played, of having a chance to get it back for the historical moment?
== Most embarrassing CBS moment during the pregame was having Esiason and Sharpe do a taped piece where they went through parts of New Orleans getting people to bark for a free pizza. It wasn't labeled as a commercial, although it clearly was.
== A more puzzling moment was allowing Sharpe to interview the Ravens' Ray Lewis. At least he had Lewis address again the 2000 double murders in Atlanta where he was charged with two counts of murder. Lewis' meandering answer was something Sharpe could have followed up with but didn't.
== Most illuminating pregame interview came when CBS' Bill Cowher visited with 49 ers tight end Vernon Davis. Cowher held up an iPad to show him a video clip of former coach Mike Singletary calling him out years ago. Davis thanked Singletary for saving his career. Cowher then showed a clip of Davis' reaction to Singletary to complete the interview process and get his reaction.
== Strangest side story during the game: AOL/Sporting News ran a report that Muhammad Ali's brother said the ex-champ is near death. It took the story from a London newspaper.
CBSSports.com eventually tweeted out a link with a post: "Muhammad Ali's daughter shoots down rumors, confirms Ali is fine and watching Super Bowl at home."
It led to a tweet from the Associated Press columnist Tim Dalhberg: "The Ali rumors are a perfect example of illegitimate journalism. Check something out before you write it or repeat it as if it was fact."

Academic Regulations
Moravian College, with Cedar Crest College, DeSales University, Lafayette College, Lehigh University, and Muhlenberg College, is a member of the Lehigh Valley Association of Independent Colleges (LVAIC). One of the benefits of this association is the opportunity for full-time students to take courses at one or more of the member colleges at no additional tuition charge. Regulations for Moravian College students include:
- A full-time day-session student of Moravian College in good academic standing who has earned at least six course units may enroll for up to two course units per term, to a total of eight course units, at any of the LVAIC institutions, provided:
- The student has submitted the cross-registration form online at www.lvaic.org.
- The student cannot schedule a course at another LVAIC institution if it is offered at Moravian the same semester.
- The student's total courseload for the term, including the cross-registered course unit, does not exceed 4.5 course units.
- A course carrying three or more semester hours of credit at an LVAIC institution will be accepted at Moravian as a full course unit when taken as one course of a normal four-course-unit load during a fall or spring term.
- All grades earned in courses taken through cross-registration at LVAIC institutions are entered on the Moravian transcript and computed in the cumulative GPA based upon grade equivalencies determined by the College.
- Students who register for courses at other LVAIC institutions assume responsibility for the costs and means of transportation and accept the inconvenience of differing academic calendars.
- Online cross-registration is not available for courses offered during summer or winter terms. Cross-registration forms and additional information about policies and procedures for taking summer or winter courses at other LVAIC institutions are available at the Office of the Registrar.
LVAIC also has extended to part-time degree candidates the opportunity to cross-register for courses offered by member institutions with established programs for part-time day and evening students. Both grades and credits earned in one of the cooperating colleges under this policy will transfer automatically to the student's home institution. Cross-registration provides an opportunity to take courses not available at the home institution and thus eases the scheduling difficulties sometimes experienced by working adults. A part-time student may cross-register for a maximum of two courses for each year of equivalent full-time study. Students interested in learning more about this opportunity should contact the registrar.
Enrollment in cross-registered courses is permitted only on a space-available basis. At Moravian College, private music instruction, nursing courses, independent study, internship, Honors, student teaching (including the associated seminar), and online courses are excluded from cross-registration except by permission of the associate provost.
Study at Non-LVAIC Institutions (Transfer of Courses)
Students who wish to receive credit at Moravian College for study at non-LVAIC institutions (e.g., for summer-session or winter-session study) must submit their requests to the registrar. Approval must be granted prior to registration for the course. To gain approval, students must get written approval of the relevant department chair prior to enrolling in the course. In some departments or for some courses, a review of the course syllabus or student learning outcomes is required. For courses in the art department, a portfolio review upon completion of the course may be required before final approval is granted.
Grades from a non-LVAIC institution, except for approved study-abroad programs, are not recorded and do not affect the cumulative GPA. An approved course will transfer credit to Moravian if a grade of C (not C–) or better is earned, the course is taken at a regionally accredited institution, and the course is equivalent to courses taught at Moravian or is judged by the College to be consistent with Moravian's curriculum. In some cases, a portfolio review or proficiency test may be required (for example, in art or music) to determine the transferability of a particular course . Students who have earned 16 or more course units must attend a four-year institution in order to transfer credit to Moravian.
Note: Courses taken in summer sessions of non-LVAIC institutions are transferred to Moravian using a system where 1 credit hour = .25 units of credit. Thus, a 3-credit-hour course = a .75 unit course. Courses from institutions operating on a trimester or quarter-hour system have different equivalencies. To be considered for transfer, courses must be taken at a regionally accredited institution.

Val's Crafty Corner: Watercolor-Resist Paintings
November 25, 2012 at 1:00 pm Valerie at Inner Child Fun 1 comment
This idea for creative fun is brought to you by Melissa & Doug, written by our Blog Ambassador Valerie Deneen.
Enjoy some painting fun with your kids!
Does your child love to paint? Have you tried watercolor-resist paintings before? Are you ready to combine beautiful Autumn leaves with colorful works of art?? Then this Autumn leaf watercolor-resist painting project is for you!
To make your own, you will need a sheet of thick paper, some crayons, watercolor paints and a paint brush. Begin by layering some leaves underneath the paper, and invite your child over to create leaf rubbings with the crayons. We found that our Melissa & Doug crayons are ideal for this because they are free from paper wrappers and the flat edges make leaf rubbings easy! Your child may want to experiment with several different colors on the page.
Next, it's time to paint! Using watercolor paints, encourage your child to paint on top of their leaf rubbing design. My daughter was quite surprised to see what happened when the watercolor paint came into contact with the crayon! I love how she was so happy to try a new painting technique, and thoroughly enjoyed the process!
These watercolor-resist paintings could easily be made into cards, bookmarks, or other handmade gifts. They could also be framed and put on display in your home!
Don't be surprised if your child asks to make several of these paintings. My daughter has made five… and counting!
Have fun!!

Keeping Pell on Track to Help Low-Income Americans Afford College
Dec 16, 2013
By Manuela Ekowo and Julie Strawn
The Save Pell Coalition, of which CLASP is a member, has released new findings on the current state of the Pell Grant program and the many students who are counting on it. Key takeaways include:
The Need: Students rely on Pell Grants more than ever
- Nine million Americans depend on Pell Grants to attend and complete college.
- Next year's maximum Pell Grant will cover the smallest share of college costs since the start of the program. As recently as the 1980s, the maximum Pell Grant covered more than half the cost of attending a four-year public college. But even after recent increases, the scheduled $5,785 maximum Pell Grant in 2014-15 is expected to cover less than one-third of the cost of college.
- Pell Grant recipients are already more than twice as likely as other students to have student loans (61 percent vs. 29 percent). Among Pell Grant recipients who graduate from four-year colleges, nearly 9 out of 10 have student loans. According to a new report from the Project on Student Debt at the Institute for College Access & Success (TICAS), 7 in 10 college seniors who graduated in 2012 had student loan debt. The average debt was $29,400.
- More than 60 percent of African-American undergraduates (up from 50 percent in March 2013) and half of Hispanic undergraduates (up from 40 percent) rely on Pell Grants to attend school.
The Demand: Business and the public demand higher skills
- The economy's demand for college-educated workers is projected to increase at double the rate of supply.
- A college degree dramatically increases employment and wages. Young adults with only a high school diploma are almost 3 times as likely to be unemployed, and earn less than three-fifths as much, as those with a bachelor's degree.
- People of all backgrounds, ages, and party affiliations oppose cuts to Pell Grants and believe college affordability should be a top priority for Congress and the economy. Surveys consistently find near universal agreement on: the importance of a college education for individuals and the economy; concerns about costs and debt; and the need to make college affordability and financial aid policy top priorities.
The Sacrifice: Pell Grants have already been hard hit
- Recent budget agreements reduced Pell Grant funding by more than $50 billion. The FY11 budget agreement eliminated "year-round" Pell Grants, while the FY12 omnibus appropriations bill placed tight restrictions on eligibility. Taken together, these changes have slashed Pell Grants by roughly $5 billion (12 percent) per year and more than $50 billion over 10 years.
Tell Congress it is critical that Pell be protected from sequester and in next year's appropriations process!

By Nahlia

Great massager. When I first received it, I used it for three days straight, due to tight back muscles and sore shoulders, as I do a lot of computer work. By day three, the pain was completely gone. Now I use it for maintenance and as part of my relaxing ritual when I come home from work. What a great choice I made. Note: although I can use it on my own, it is even better when someone else gives you the massage.

It works!
By meh

Of many massagers I've tried, this is the first that actually works. I bought it hoping it would loosen tight muscles in my back and hip. In less than a week of daily use, the longstanding pain and stiffness were gone. I'm now using it to loosen scar tissue in my shoulder.

About the Coordinated Care Initiative
The state Medi-Cal program and the federal Medicare program have partnered to start a new project to improve care for California's seniors and people with disabilities who are dually eligible for both of the public health insurance programs, "dual eligible beneficiaries." This project, the Coordinated Care Initiative (CCI), will take place in seven counties: Los Angeles, Orange,* Riverside, San Bernardino, San Diego, San Mateo, and Santa Clara. The CCI has two parts:
- Cal MediConnect: All of a beneficiary's medical, behavioral health,** long-term institutional, and home-and community-based services will be combined into a single health plan. This will allow your providers to better coordinate your care and make it simpler for you to get the right care at the right time in the right place.
- Managed Medi-Cal Long-Term Supports and Services (MLTSS): Medi-Cal beneficiaries, including dual eligible beneficiaries who have opted out of Cal MediConnect or who are not eligible for Cal MediConnect, are required to join a Medi-Cal managed care health plan to receive their Medi-Cal benefits, including long-term supports and services (LTSS) and Medicare wrap-around benefits.
Who are dual eligible beneficiaries?
Dual eligible beneficiaries are people who qualify for both public health insurance programs, Medicare and Medi-Cal. In California, as many as seven in ten dual eligible beneficiaries are age 65 and older, and most are women. Approximately one in three are younger people with disabilities. California has about 1.1 million of these beneficiaries. Of these, about 456,000 are estimated to be eligible for enrollment into the Cal MediConnect program, including a 200,000 enrollment cap in Los Angeles. (Learn more)

Justin Timberlake performs 'TKO" for the first time at the iHeartRadio Music Festival
As the stage slowly spun around to face the crowd, the Arena went crazy and Justin Timberlake brought "Sexy Back"...literally! JT opened his set with the hit song and the crowd went crazy.
PHOTOS: Justin Timberlake at the iHeartRadio Music Festival 2013
Among the set Timberlake sprinkled in fan favorites like "Cry Me A River" and "Holy Grail" but nothing came close to "TKO." Timberlake performed his latest single for the first time EVER at the iHeartRadio Music Festival and to his surprise the fans already knew the words and were singing along!
Justin Timberlake debuted two additional songs during his set at the iHeartRadio Music Festival: "True Blood" and "Only When I Walk Away." Both songs are off of Timberlake's upcoming album, The 20/20 Experience (2 of 2), out September 30th. Could "True Blood" be a reference to the TV series?
It's not until you see Justin Timberlake perform live that you realize he is a hit making machine (and a dance machine). His performance at the iHeartRadio Music Festival is one for the books and hands down the best way to close out the biggest music event in radio history!

When Steve Reeder and Dave Matthews first met, they realized they had a few things in common, like a passion for making wine at least as strong as their passion for drinking it. They set out into wine country, looking for a way to make quality wines accessible to everyone. Along the way, they found inspiration in the down-to-earth characters and unforgettable flavors that give the region its rare kind of charm. View all The Dreaming Tree Wines
About North Coast
Beyond Napa and Sonoma in the north you find a couple of other counties producing great wine. Among these are Mendocino and Lake County. The northernmost California winegrowing regions, these two counties are right above Napa and Sonoma, geographically. Yet, wine-wise they are very different – both from their southern neighbors and from each other.
Notable FactsMendocino has a high amount of organic vintners and vines. The first winery to settle here was Fetzer, which practices organic viticulture and holds some of the most vineyard land in the area. Mendocino has many pockets of micro-climates while Lake County, being smaller in size, is less diverse climactically. As for the grapes, Chardonnay is the most popular in both counties, but there are also some excellent Sauvignon Blancs, particularly in the Lake County. In red wine, Zinfandel leads the way, followed by Rhone Blends and Petite Sirah. The reds in both counties are complex and sumptuous. Anderson Valley is a sub-AVA of Mendicino and is quite well known for its excellent cool climate, producing the delicious Roederer Estate sparkling wines and some wonderful cool-climate Syrah.
About California
The most famous of the California wine regions is Napa Valley, and these wines are certainly outstanding – but it's not as broad and diverse as its larger neighbor, Sonoma County. Down south, Santa Barbara's Santa Maria Valley is well-known for its Rhône blends, as well as cool-climate varieties like Pinot and Chardonnay. The Central Coast, the largest California AVA, has many different microclimates that lead to a wide range of wines with many sub-AVAs.

Ideal for use in your car or on your desk the CUBE's design may be modest in appearance but it can be adjusted to hold your phone securely at virtually any angle whether fixed to your windscreen, dashboard or desktop surface.
Swivel mechanism allows for multiple angles
Looks can be deceiving and the CUBE is no different. Simply twist the cube along the split line down the middle of the holder and you phone can be positioned at almost any angle through one axis. The smooth twisting mechanism allows for easy adjustment and will not shake or come loose over uneven surfaces like ball joint equivalent car holders.

The CUBE has been designed with a sturdy unibody and strong adhesive pads for universal use. This makes it the perfect travel-friendly gadget for watching all your videos and movies. It also makes a great desktop stand and holder when you want to switch between devices.
Includes an additional pad for dashboard use
The CUBE comes with an adhesive pad which fixes on to your dashboard allowing you to use the car holder on your dashboard which makes it perfect if you're using your phone as your Sat Nav whilst driving.
Adhesive-free design leaves no residue
Because the CUBE itself is manufactured from a special silicone material it does not include any adhesive residue and does not reduce its stickiness irreversibly over time.
Washable design maintains the pad's effectiveness
Over time, the CUBE will attract some of the dust and dirt from your car which will lower the adhesive properties. To return it to as-new condition, simply wash the CUBE and once dry it will be revitalised for maximum stick.

Paula Deen
Two years ago she almost lost everything over a 20-year-old deposition in which she used the "n" word and now Paula Deen is back in the hot seat again.
The 68-year-old celebrity chef posted a photo via Twitter of herself dressed as Lucille Ball on Tuesday (July 7), and unfortunately that same snapshot included Paula's son Bobby Deen wearing brown face paint and posing as Desi Arnaz's character Ricky Ricardo.
It's no secret that 2013 was a really tough year for Paula Deen, and this morning (September 23) the southern cook showed up at "Today" with her two sons.
After sitting through a retrospective of the past fifteen months, Deen declared, "I looked at none of it, Matt, because I didn't recognize that woman. That was a woman in trauma, in, I would say shock, trying to understand what had happened."
It's a big day here in America as we celebrate our independence from British rule that occurred over two centuries ago.
And plenty of celebrities are feeling patriotic on this Fourth of July, both domestic stars and famous international folks.
She got kicked off of the Food Network for using a racist word 20 years ago, but now Paula Deen is back with her very own media company.
The southern-fried chef will launch Paula Deen Ventures in September 2014, including an online network accessible by computer, tablet, smartphone and online streaming.
Looking to repair her damaged public image, Paula Deen has decided to embark on a tour to show her fans she's still as lovable as ever.
The 67-year-old Georgia native will kick off her summer tour on June 21st in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee with six additional shows to follow in cities like Atlanta, Savannah and Nashville.
For those of you that though the Paula Deen-drama was over, think again. The restaurant that kicked off the chef's racism scandal suddenly closed its doors for good on Thursday (April 3).
Uncle Bubba's Seafood and Oyster House in Savannah, Georgia announced that it was closing this afternoon in a short Facebook post.
She's never been accused of having a filter so it's no wonder Paula Deen is once again facing criticism for her careless words.
The disgraced southern chef told People magazine that trying to repair her public image after her racist allegations is similar to the struggle faced by Michael Sam, an NFL hopeful who recently revealed that he's gay.
She's on her way to a major career comeback following last year's racist allegations and Paula Deen wants to set the record straight.
The southern-fried celebrity chef showed up at the South Beach Wine and Food Festival over the weekend, noting that she's truly sorry for any pain she caused with her careless words from a few decades ago.
Tinseltown is replete with romance this time of year, and some of our favorite famous folks took to Twitter to share Valentine's Day greetings.
Chris Brown tweeted some love- "HAPPY VALENTINES DAY to all the beautiful women around the world.. Know that you are loved and appreciated !! God bless."
Ready to win back fans, Paula Deen just signed a huge multi-million dollar investment deal with her new company, Paula Deen Ventures.
Ditching her long-standing practice of licensing her image to others, the new deal with Najafi Cos. will help her find new projects and is valued between $75 and $100 million.

Genealogy is not a new pastime. During the colonial period, genealogy was seen as an attempt by early settlers to secure a measure of social standing within the British Empire. The truth is, people have been conducting family research for centuries, and many of these individuals might have published family trees--a resource that you now have the opportunity to plunder. From articles in genealogical society journals to entire books outlining specific lineages to searchable online databases of user-contributed family trees, this new course shows you how and where to look for the work others have already done, allowing you to save time and add branches to your family tree.

NZ dollar rallies as Chinese trade surplus grows, stoking confidence in economy
By Paul McBeth
Jan. 10 (BusinessDesk) - The New Zealand gained as a stronger-than-expected Chinese trade surplus stoked investors' confidence the world's second-biggest economy has weathered a slowdown and can regain momentum.
The kiwi gained to 84 US cents at 5pm in Wellington from 83.82 cents at 9am and 83.81 cents yesterday. The trade-weighted index climbed to 75.66 from 75.44.
China's trade surplus almost doubled to US$31.6 billion in December from the same month a year earlier on a 14 percent jump in exports and a 6 percent increase in imports. China is Australia's biggest trading partner and New Zealand's second-biggest behind its closest neighbour, meaning its economic fortunes weigh heavily on the trans-Tasman currencies.
New Zealand government figures today showed a slightly wider-than-expected local trade deficit of $700 million in November, while QV data showed property values rose 5.7 percent last year and ANZ figures showed an increase in commodity prices last month.
"The kiwi data continues to be positive and China's recovery is starting to show evidence and today's trade data added to that," said Imre Speizer, market strategist at Westpac Banking Corp in Auckland. "The kiwi will continue to outperform - look at economic fundamentals and they're pretty good, the outlook is pretty good and interest rates will eventually turn positive."
Speizer said he expects the currency to temporarily shed some gains against the greenback for a few days before rising to test the 84.75 US cents high it reached last year.
The kiwi fell to 79.61 Australian cents at 5pm from 79.85 cents yesterday after the Chinese trade data, with the bigger nation having greater export exposure to the world's most populous country. Official figures also showed Australian home building permits rose 2.9 percent in November as lower interest rates encouraged plans for apartment projects.
The New Zealand dollar climbed as high 74.08 yen, the highest level since September 2008, and traded at 73.93 yen at 5pm from 73.28 yen yesterday. Japan's currency weakened after Prime Minister Shinzo Abe urged the central bank to double its inflation target to 2 percent. Bank of Japan governor Masaaki Shirakawa yesterday said he's working closely with the government ahead of the bank's next meeting on Jan. 21 to 22.
The kiwi gained to 64.34 euro cents from 64.08 cents yesterday ahead of the European Central Bank's monetary policy review, and increased to 52.42 British pence from 52.22 pence before the Bank of England reviews its benchmark interest rate and quantitative easing programme.

About Pessac-LeognanView a map of Pessac-Leognan wineries (PEH-sak lay-ohn-yawn)
One of the top appellations within Graves, Pessac-Léognan is home to the only Graves chateau listed as a first growth in the 1855 Médoc classification – Chateau Haut-Brion. In fact, praise for the chateau dates back to the days of Thomas Jefferson, when, upon visiting the chateau in 1787, he bought 125 bottles for his cellar in Virginia.
Notable Facts
The majority of wines made here are red, but Pessac-Léognan is also known for producing some of the finest dry white wines of Bordeaux. Many of the top chateau, like Chateau Haut Brion and Chateau Mission Haut Brion, produce top-quality whites alongside their red. Other Chateaux, like Smith Haut Lafite and Carbonnieux, are better known for their distinguished white wines than reds. Both colors of wine from this region have the specific tastes of the gravelly soil where it's grown.
About France - Other regionsWhen it comes to wine, France is a classic. Classic blends, grapes and styles began in the country and they still remain. Think about it - people ask for a Burgundian style Pinot Noir, they refer to wines as Bordeaux or Rhone blends - Champagne even had to pass a law to stop international wineries from putting their region on the label of all sparkling wine.
The top regions of France are: Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne, Languedoc-Roussillon, Loire, Rhone. And these regions are so diverse! It makes sense that wine regions throughout the world try to emulate their style. Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah are no longer French varieties, but international varieties. They may not be the leader of cutting edge technology or value-priced wines, but there is no doubt that they are still producing wines of great quality and diversity.

Iran: UN calls for release of Sakharov Prize winners
Iran: UN human rights experts urge immediate release of Sakharov Prize winners
Geneva, 1 November 2012 – A group of United Nations independent experts called for the immediate release from prison of Nasrin Sotoudeh, a prominent human rights lawyer, and Jafar Panahi, an internationally acclaimed film-maker, both of whom were recently awarded the prestigious Sakharov Prize for Freedom of Thought by the European Parliament.
"I am particularly concerned about the situation of Ms. Sotoudeh, whose state of health is reportedly deteriorating due to the hunger strike she commenced on 17 October to denounce her prison conditions and the restrictions imposed on members of her family," said the Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in the Islamic Republic of Iran, Ahmed Shaheed.
"The imprisonment of Ms. Sotoudeh and Mr. Panahi appears to be directly linked to their work in the defence of human rights, in clear violation of international human rights standards," added the Special Rapporteur on human rights defenders, Margaret Sekaggya. "The Iranian Government must make every effort to guarantee the fundamental freedoms of those working to ensure human rights are respected."
For the Special Rapporteur on the right to freedom of opinion and expression, Frank La Rue, "the imprisonment of Mr. Panahi for having exercised his right to freedom of expression through his film-making and political activism runs counter to international law and standards that individuals will not be prosecuted for peaceful political speech." He stressed that "the authorities must take all measures to guarantee the free expression of all individuals in Iran."
According to reports, at least 32 lawyers and several prominent human rights defenders associated with the Defenders of Human Rights Centre, founded by Nobel Peace Prize Laureate Shirin Ebadi, are currently detained in Iran. They include human rights lawyer Mohammad Ali Dadkhan, arrested in September this year to serve a nine-year prison sentence.
"I am seriously concerned that the on-going campaign of persecution of human rights lawyers is having grave implications for the adequate functioning and independence of the justice system, which requires lawyers to be able to discharge their professional functions and defend their clients without intimidation, hindrance, harassment or improper interference of any sort," stressed the Special Rapporteur on the independence of judges and lawyers, Gabriela Knaul.
"I have repeatedly reminded the Iranian authorities that lawyers should not be identified with their clients or their clients' causes, and that they should not suffer consequences for any action taken in accordance with their professional duties," Ms. Knaul said.
The UN independent experts urged the Iranian authorities to honour their international obligations and commitments to protect and promote human rights, in particular freedom of expression and opinion, and reiterated their call for the prompt release of Ms. Sotoudeh, Mr. Panahi and other human rights lawyers and defenders detained for exercising their legitimate freedoms.

Deep vein thrombosis - dischargeDVT - discharge; Blood clot in the legs - discharge; Thromboembolism - discharge
Deep venous thrombosis (DVT) is when a blood clot forms in a vein that is not on the surface of the body.
It mainly affects the large veins in the lower leg and thigh. The clot can block blood flow. If the clot breaks off and moves through the bloodstream, it can get stuck in the brain, lungs, heart, or other area of the body, leading to severe damage.
Wear the pressure stockings prescribed by your doctor. They will improve blood flow in your legs and lower your risk for problems with blood clots and long-term complications.
- Avoid letting the stockings become very tight or wrinkled.
- If you use lotion on your legs, let it dry before you put the stockings on.
- Put powder on your legs to make it easier to put on the stockings.
- Wash the stockings each day with mild soap and water, rinse, and air dry.
- Be sure you have a second pair of stockings to wear while the other pair is being washed.
- If your stockings feel too tight, tell your doctor or nurse. Do not just stop wearing them.
Your doctor may give you medicine to thin your blood. This will help keep more clots from forming.
- Take the medicine just the way your doctor prescribed it.
- Know what to do if you miss a dose.
- You may need to get blood tests often to make sure you are taking the right dose.
Ask your doctor what exercises and other activities are safe for you to do.
Do not sit or lie down in the same position for long periods of time.
- Do not cross your legs when you sit.
- Do not sit so that you put steady pressure on the back of your knee.
- Prop up your legs on a stool or chair if your legs swell when you sit.
If swelling is a problem, keep your legs resting above your heart. When sleeping, make the foot of the beda fewinches higher than the head of the bed.
Do not wear tight clothing on your legs or around your waist. If your clothes leave a mark in your skin, they are too tight.
When traveling:
