Beginning in 2004 the Division of Historic Preservation and Archaeology (DHPA) created the first of its themed travel itineraries to highlight the array of historic resources located in Indiana. The intention was to educate Hoosiers about the unique places that abound in the state and to garner some recognition for these valuable sites. New itineraries are unveiled each May in honor of Historic Preservation Month.
The sites included in the assorted itineraries are in some way recognized by programming that filters through the DHPA—the State or National Registers, the Historic Theater Initiative, the Cemetery Registry, the Underground Railroad Initiative, and others. The itineraries are by no means a comprehensive list of sites in Indiana related to each theme. Please keep in mind that while many of the places highlighted in the travel itineraries are open to the public, there are some that are private property.
If you would like to create your own walking tour, the History Channel offers help in designing one in its "A Walk to Remember" Save Our History project guide available here. The History Channel offers another project guide designed to help educators design neighborhood history projects here.

Providence College students are coming to your area to work with Habitat for Humanity during their Spring Break!
Students will be traveling in groups of 10 to needy areas in several states to help Habitat for Humanity from Monday, March 12th through Friday, March 16th. The Office of Alumni Relations and Campus Ministry are looking for interested alumni to connect with these students.
We are interested to see if any alums are interested in hosting a dinner for the students while they are in your area. This does not have to be anything expensive or fancy; just a gesture of hospitality. The students will be working hard during the day, and many would love the opportunity to connect with alumni for a relaxing evening.
If you are willing to host a dinner, please contact Therese Reilly '83, Assistant Director for Alumni Relations in the Office of Institutional Advancement, at firstname.lastname@example.com or (401) 865-2835. She will be able to put you in contact with the student leaders who are traveling to your area.
The Habit for Humanity service project is one of several outreach initiatives that PC students will be involved in during what, for many, is referred to as Alternative Spring Break. Students will be traveling to Baltimore, Md., Buffalo, N.Y., Coatesville, Pa., Concord, N.C., and York, Pa. to assist the less fortunate. Students will also be traveling elsewhere in the U.S., as well as to the Dominican Republic, Ecuador, Peru, and Costa Rica for academic and other enriching experiences.

Olympus OM-D – retro styling
We rather like the Olympus OM-D's retro design, inspired by Olympus's OM line of manual-focus film SLRs. Despite the SLR looks, it's not as big as you might expect. In fact, it's almost too small to get a firm grip – similar to the Panasonic G3 and not as holdable as the Olympus E-P3. That can be remedied by adding the optional vertical grip, but at the expense of tinyness.
Olympus OM-D – viewfinder and tilt touchscreen
The OLED rear touchscreen is the same as that on the E-P3, but tilts up and down. The touch sensitivity is still a little sluggish; not smartphone-slick. The headliner, of course, is the eye viewfinder, which is a bright 1.44MP number and has a sensor that switches to the EVF from the main screen when you put your eye to it – a nice touch that also features on the Nikon V1.
Olympus OM-D – new power-zoom lens
The new 12-50mm lens has several tricks up its barrel. It can either be used with motorised zoom – rotating the ring a small amount activates a servo that zooms the optics in or out, not dissimilar to Panasonic's power zoom – or you can allow the zoom ring to float free like a traditional zoom lens. There's also a Macro mode, for 1:1-scale close-ups, that's activated via a button on the side. If you want to swap for something a bit longer in the zoom department, that's when you'll see the real benefits of the Olympus OM-D's new five-axis image stabilisation, which allows for pitch and yaw. Results are very impressive, and it's hard to shake it once it steadies the scene.
Olympus OM-D – Live Bulb
A genuinely astonishing new feature of the Olympus OM-D is the Live Bulb setting. If you've ever been frustrated by the inexact science of setting a long exposure to capture something like fireworks, you'll love this. Press the shutter button to start the exposure and you'll see the picture gradually exposing on the screen's Live View, so you can see when you've got the shot right and can stop exposing.
Olympus OM-D – Art Effects bracketing
Rotating the mode dial to Art brings up all the usual fun photo effects (such as Diorama, Dramatic Tone and Grainy Film), plus a new one called Key Line that tries to make your shots look a bit Manga-ish. But the most interesting addition is a bracketing option that saves multiple versions of your photo with each of the Art Effects applied, in case you can't decide which will work best. The downside is that it takes ages doing the processing before you can take the next shot.
First impressions bode well for the Olympus OM-D. We'll be back with a fully focussed review soon enough.

Kent North has all five horse-hung members of the pack standing in a line on a raised wooden platform, putting all of their crotches right at the perfect level for cock-sucking. He tells them 'You know why you're here. Fill all my holes...' and steps up to deep throat each rock hard cock in succession. Justin Gemini's 10x6 rock hard rod slides down North's throat, followed by Jason Crew, Ricky Martinez, Fredrick Ford and Rick Gonzales. North expertly deep throats every cock, even Ricky Martinez' (one of the biggest cock we've ever seen) who shouts 'You got skills! You got skills!' North works his way up and down the line, taking a break from each man's monster-cock to lick his boots.

North has ordered the men off the platform and tells them to get ready to fill his holes. Fredrick Ford sucks Justin Gemini's huge tool while Jason Crew services Ford. North is on his knees, servicing both Ricky Martinez and Rick Gonzales. Crew, Gemini and Ford swap blow jobs and make out while North and Gonzaels suck Martinez off. Eventually North feeds Martinez his own cock while Gonzales eats North's ass. North turns his attention to Ford's bubble-butt while Martinez continues to suck himself off. Gemini can barely take it when Ford munches his ass and Crew sucks his huge cock.

Solo action reaches new levels in Scene 4 when cock-masters Ricky Martinez and Jason Crew show off their special talents. Martinez sits down and begins stroking his mammoth tool. With very little effort, he leans down and shoves the head of his cock into his own mouth. As his cock gets harder he is able to take more and more of it down his throat. Crew is by his side, laying on his back. After working his cock until it is semi-hard, he bends it around and fucks himself in the ass with it. Meanwhile, the gangbang continues with Frederick Ford being the first to step up and shove his cock into Kent North's pulsating ass. Martinez and Crew join the rest of the men as they stand in a pack, jacking off over North. They all take turns cumming huge globs of white jiz all over North who eventually blows his own load.

"Service Above Self" is the Rotary Club motto, and Chiefland Rotary Club members learned on March 19 about another place where they can serve by donating funds.
Rotary Youth Camp is set to give some special children an enjoyable six days and five nights this summer during two separate sessions, said Leslie C. Smith, the camp's executive director. The 12 days of summer fun comes at a price.
Marking its fourteenth summer this year, Rotary Youth Camp serves a particular type of child who is aged between 7 and 16 years old, Smith said.

Tree stumps to step over and drum circles to join. Slate easels to draw on and animals to meet. Hollow logs to climb through and dirt to dig in.
What kid wouldn't love it here?
Image courtesy Irvine Nature Center/Facebook
The Irvine Nature Center in Owings Mills, Md., has joined a growing list of nature-inspired organizations that encourage kids to explore, respect and protect the environment. Thanks to a growing body of research that supports the benefits of unstructured play and child-nature interaction, places like the Irvine Center—with its trails, garden and outdoor classroom—are popping up all over, getting kids to play in fields and forests instead of on plastic and asphalt.
The idea? When given the chance to roam and run in natural places, kids will learn about and come to love the outdoors, becoming curious environmentalists and new stewards of our watershed.

The Irvine Center's exhibit hall, green building and 116 acres of woods and meadows are open to the public; the Irvine Center's outdoor classroom is open to members and to those who participate in the organization's programs.
More from Irvine:
Three Delaware towns have received grant funding and technical assistance to create habitat and improve water quality in Delaware's tributaries to the Chesapeake Bay.
The towns of Greenwood, Laurel and Bethel, located along the Route 13 corridor in Sussex County, have set their sights on curbing stormwater runoff to reduce the flow of nutrients and sediment into the Nanticoke River and Broad Creek.
When rainfall runs across paved roads, parking lots, lawns and golf courses, it can pick up pollutants before washing down storm drains and into local waterways. By using best management practices—think rain barrels, green roofs or forested buffers along the shores of streams and rivers—to target the fastest growing source of pollution into the Bay, these Delaware towns can help position the state to meet its pollution reduction goals.
The Town of Greenwood, for instance, will restore a buffer of native vegetation along a tax ditch that drains into the Nanticoke River, establishing habitat and reducing stormwater runoff from two industrial buildings in the heart of the community.
The neighboring towns of Laurel and Bethel will develop plans to bring green infrastructure to Broad Creek, stabilizing stream banks, reducing stormwater discharge and eliminating local flooding. Bethel might even implement innovative practices in the oldest part of town, bringing permeable pavement and living shorelines to the town's historic district.
"The projects in Greenwood, Laurel and Bethel will improve the water quality of our local streams and rivers, reduce flooding and enhance the quality of life for local communities," said Delaware Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control (DNREC) Secretary Collin O'Mara. "By ... working together, we are securing resources necessary to ensure that our waterways are safe, swimmable and fishable for current and future generations."
Funding for the Greenwood project, totaling $35,000, was awarded through the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation's (NFWF) Chesapeake Bay Stewardship Fund.Technical assistance for the initiatives in Laurel and Bethel, valued at $100,000, was awarded through NFWF's Local Government Capacity Building Initiative. To learn more about the projects, visit the DNREC website.
The University of Maryland has received close to $700,000 in federal funding to help communities reduce stormwater runoff.
Using a software program to pinpoint pollution hot spots and an innovative brand of social marketing to boost citizen engagement, the university will embark on a multi-year project to increase the adoption of conservation practices in two watershed communities: the Wilde Lake watershed in Howard County, Md., and the Watts Branch watershed in Washington, D.C., whose waters flow into the Patuxent and Anacostia rivers, respectively.
Stormwater runoff, or rainfall that picks up pollutants as it flows across paved roads, parking lots, lawns and golf courses, is the fastest growing source of pollution into the Chesapeake Bay. Best management practices can reduce the flow of stormwater into creeks, streams and rivers, from the green roofs that trap and filter stormwater to the permeable pavement that allows stormwater to trickle underground rather than rush into storm drains.
But best management practices cannot work without the citizens who put them into action.
"We need to work with communities, rather than take a top-down approach [to stormwater management]," said project lead and assistant professor Paul Leisnham. "For the long-term successful implementation of these practices ... we need communities to be involved."
The university has partnered with local schools, religious organizations and grassroots associations (among them the Maryland Sea Grant, the Anacostia Watershed Society and Groundwork Anacostia) in hopes of breaking down barriers to the adoption of best management practices and increasing community involvement—and thus, investment—in local, long-term environmental conservation.

U.S. Senator Ben Cardin commended the project at a Bladensburg Waterfront Park event as a creative and results-driven way to reduce stormwater runoff.
"It's going to allow us to make a difference in our [local] watershed, which will make a difference in the Chesapeake Bay," Cardin said.
The funding, which totaled $691,674, was awarded through the Sustainable Chesapeake Grant program administered by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
In the Chesapeake Bay, the river meets the sea. Freshwater and saltwater mix. Countless fish, birds and mammals find a home, a rest stop or a place to raise their young. All in one of the most productive ecosystems on earth—and the largest estuary in the United States!
Celebrate National Estuaries Week with this list of eight reasons the Chesapeake Bay is exceptional.
Image courtesy U.S. Geological Survey Landsat/Flickr
8. Its size. The Bay is the largest estuary in the United States and the third largest in the world. It is about 200 miles long and holds more than 18 trillion gallons of water, some from the Atlantic Ocean and some from the 150 streams, creeks and rivers that drain into its watershed. This fresh and saltwater mix supports more than 2,700 species of plants and animals.
7. Its shorelines. The Bay and its tidal tributaries have 11,684 miles of shoreline—more than the entire U.S. west coast! Shorelines support a number of unique critters, like the diamondback terrapins that dig shallow nests in the sand, the horseshoe crabs that spawn on Bay beaches or the shorebirds that have long legs and an appetite for fish, clams and other aquatic snacks. Shorelines also allow people to reach the water to swim, fish and walk on the sand. There are close to 800 existing access sites along the shorelines of the Bay and its tributaries, and groups like the National Park Service are working to add more.

6. Its geology. While the Bay itself lies within the Atlantic Coastal Plain, the watershed spans two more geologic regions: the Piedmont Plateau and the Appalachian Province. This means watershed residents don't have to travel far to spot plants, insects and animals that inhabit different landscapes, whether it is the Delmarva fox squirrel that favors the flat lowlands of the Delmarva Peninsula or the black bear that prefers the mountains and valleys of the Appalachian foothills.
5. Its wetlands. About 284,000 acres of tidal wetlands grow in the Bay region. These wetlands provide critical habitat for fish and shellfish, who use the protected areas as nurseries or spawning grounds, and for birds, who use wetlands to find food, cover and, in the case of migrating waterfowl, a winter home. Wetlands also slow the flow of pollutants into the Bay and its tributaries, stabilize shorelines and protect properties from flooding.
4. Its forests. Forests cover 55 percent of the Bay watershed and provide critters on land and in the water with food and shelter. Bald eagles, for instance, build two-ton treetop nests near the water, while brook trout depend on the shade of streamside trees to cool their underwater habitat. Forests also support the economies of watershed states. Forestry is the second largest industry in the Pennsylvania and Virginia and the fifth largest in Maryland.

3. Its waterfowl. Close to one million ducks, geese and swans spend their winters on the Bay. The birds, which make up about one-third of the Atlantic coast's migratory population, stop here to feed and rest during their annual migration along the Atlantic Flyway.
2. Its seafood. The Bay produces about 500 million pounds of seafood each year. The watershed's well-known catches include the blue crab, which is popular steamed or picked and turned into a crab-cake, and the eastern oyster, which is harvested in colder months and eaten raw, fried or even baked with spinach and bacon. Striped bass and Atlantic menhaden are also important catches for commercial markets.
1. Its people. The Bay watershed is home to more than 17 million people, with 150,000 moving into the watershed each year. There are watermen, fishermen and farmers. There are hikers, bikers and boaters. There are teachers, beach-goers and seafood-eaters. And many of them work to restore the natural resources in the watershed. Whether you take a tip from us to make Bay-friendly changes at home or attend an event to clean up your local waterway, you, too, can help restore the Bay—and celebrate National Estuaries Week!

Herbs de Provence Herbs 6-Pack
Grow all the herbs you need to make your own fragrant, flavorful herbes de Provence, a classic blend of dried basil, lavender, thyme, marjoram, rosemary and fennel used to season stews and grilled and roasted meats and poultry. You can also use the herbs individually, fresh or dried, in a wide variety of dishes.
Genovese Basil: Enjoy fresh-from-the-garden pesto all summer long with this Italian variety of basil. Very easy to grow, the annual yields a plentiful harvest of extra-large aromatic dark-green leaves.
Hidcote/Munstead Lavender: Very fragrant variety of English lavender with upright stems of purple flowers. The buds have a delicate floral flavor with refreshing hints of mint and citrus. Use sparingly to flavor lamb or poultry, or infuse syrups for use in dessert making.
Lemon Thyme: Smelling and tasting like its namesake fruit, lemon thyme adds a citrusy accent to chicken, fish, salad dressings and a variety of sauces. The leaves are ideal for any dish that calls for both thyme and citrus flavors.
Sweet Marjoram: This Mediterranean herb has a milder flavor than its closely related oregano and is best used fresh to season tomatoes, eggplant, beans, poultry and seafood.
Tuscan Blue Rosemary: Cooks favor this drought-tolerant upright form of perennial rosemary over the trailing variety because of its more flavorful, aromatic, needle-like leaves, which cover the plant all year long.
Fennel: More compact that ordinary fennel and well suited for growing in containers, this variety produces feathery green leaves with a distinctively refreshing licorice/anise flavor and aroma.

'"Our penalty killing is near the bottom of the league, and now we've got to race to the top," coach Lindy Ruff said. "Structure-wise, we've been OK. We've made some big mistakes. Shot lanes are so important, and we've missed some shot lanes. Pucks aren't hitting us. When they don't hit you, the result is usually the shot goes in or somebody's allowed to tip the puck in front of the net."'

"TIME" Ranks Epigenome Study No. 2 Scientific Discovery of 2009
Each of the 200 or so different types of cells in our body—in the brain, the liver, the fat tissues—is handed the same basic instruction manual, yet somehow they all "see" a different set of instructions inscribed in the roughly 3 billion bases that make up the human genome. But it is the epigenome—a second layer of control beyond the regulation inherent in the sequence of the genes themselves—that controls which genes are accessible and when.
Some have compared it to the software run on the genomic hardware. "I can load Windows, if I want, on my Mac," says Joseph Ecker, professor and director of the Genomic Analysis Laboratory and a member of the San Diego Epigenome Center. "You're going to have the same chip in there, the same genome, but different software. And the outcome is a different cell type."
In a study "TIME" magazine recently ranked the second most important scientific discovery of 2009, Ecker and his team recently provided the first detailed map of the human genome.
"In the past we've been limited to viewing small snippets of the epigenome," says senior author Joseph Ecker. "Being able to study the epigenome in its entirety will lead to a better understanding of how genome function is regulated in health and disease but also how gene expression is influenced by diet and the environment."
Their study, published in the Oct. 14 advance online edition of Nature, compared the epigenomes of human embryonic stem cells and differentiated connective cells from the lung called fibroblasts, revealing a highly dynamic, yet tightly controlled, landscape of chemical signposts known as methyl-groups. The head-to-head comparison brought to light a novel DNA methylation pattern unique to stem cells, which may explain how stem cells establish and maintain their pluripotent state, the researchers say.
The emergence of epigenetics has already changed the way researchers think about how disease arises and how physicians treat it. Epigenetic changes play a crucial role in the development of cancer and some drugs that directly interact with the epigenome have been approved for the treatment of lymphoma and lung cancer and are now tested against a number of other cancer types.
"Unless we know how these drugs affect the entire epigenome, we don't really understand their full mechanism of action," says Ecker.
Recognizing the central role of the epigenome in many areas of biology and medicine, the National Institutes of Health launched a five-year Roadmap Epigenomics Program in 2008. The San Diego Epigenome Center, headed by Bing Ren, professor of Cellular and Molecular Medicine at the University of California, San Diego School of Medicine and head of the Laboratory of Gene Regulation at the Ludwig Institute for Cancer Research, is an integral part of the five year, $190 million push to accelerate research into modifications that alter genetic behavior across the human genome.

Netanyahu´s coalition wants election on September 4 (AFP) AGENCE FRANCE PRESSE) By Steve Weizman 05/02/12)
Source: http://news.yahoo.com/netanyahu-bloc-wants-september-4-election-media-175303325.html;_ylt=AtYCUFuCPsqYTk.VBEvN8zG1qHQA;_ylu=X3oDMTQ4anIwMzRwBG1pdANUb3BTdG9yeSBXb3JsZFNGIE1pZGRsZUVhc3RTU0YEcGtnAzg3ZTE0Y2VmLWJjODQtM2NmZC1hZDZmLTA5NGI5MzM5OWM4MQRwb3MDNARzZWM

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu´s ruling coalition has tabled a motion to dissolve parliament and call an early general election on September 4, coalition chairman Zeev Elkin said late on Wednesday.
"I submitted the draft this morning," he told Israeli public radio.
"The consensus of most of the coalition parties and part of the opposition is that the election will take place on September 4," Elkin said. "That is the agreed date...a final decision will be taken on Sunday."
Netanyau on Sunday ends the traditional week of Jewish mourning for his father, who died aged 102 on Monday. That same evening, he is to address a convention of his Likud party.
Elkin said the possibility of early elections had been under discussion for some time and draft legislation for the dissolution of parliament had been readied in advance.
"We can pass it within a day or two, at the beginning of next week -- Monday, Tuesday. I´ve reached agreement with most of the parties in the parliament, which gives us the necessary majority regarding the date. Everything is ready," he said.
Army radio said that the bill to dissolve the Knesset was likely to get a preliminary reading on Monday and will probably be passed into law by Wednesday.
Netanyahu himself has so far not confirmed publicly he intends to bring forward the election from its scheduled date of October 2013, but he is widely expected to announce the date at Sunday´s Likud convention.
Riding high in popularity polls, the premier is said to favour early polls in a bid to strengthen his position before a potential fight over austerity measures and US presidential elections in November.
Netanyahu has differed with US President Barack Obama on issues ranging from the stalled Israeli-Palestinian peace process to Iran´s nuclear programme.
Another key reason for bringing the vote forward is a dispute over the issue of drafting Orthodox Jews into the army, which has threatened the stability of Netanyahu´s coalition.
The so-called Tal Law, which allowed ultra-Orthodox Jews to defer their service in the Israeli military, is strongly opposed by Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman´s staunchly secular Yisrael Beitenu party. Netanyahu has pledged to replace the law, which expires this year, with a more "egalitarian" rule, but is caught between Yisrael Beitenu and the ultra-Orthodox factions in his coalition, who adamantly oppose military service.
The Knesset is expected to debate a replacement law on May 9. Whenever the elections are held, opinion polls have consistently showed Netanyahu and his Likud party coming out on top, with no credible rival to the prime minister.
A poll published by the Yediot Aharonot newspaper on Monday showed Likud increasing its strength from 27 to 30 seats in the 120-seat Knesset, if elections were held today.
The Labour party stands to make the biggest relative gain, winning 18 seats, from the nine it currently holds, while Yisrael Beitenu would lose two seats, leaving it with 13, the poll showed.
The main opposition Kadima is expected to suffer crushing losses, with its standing reduced from 28 seats to 11, while the newly formed Yesh Atid (There is a Future) party would win 11 seats, the poll found. (Copyright © 2012 Agence France Presse. 05/02/12)

Man Beats Girlfriend Who 'Cheated' in His Dreams
(NEWSER) – A Florida man allegedly imprisoned his girlfriend in his house all day Friday and beat her savagely—because he dreamed she had cheated on him, CBS Local reports. She finally called for help when her boyfriend, Carlos Gascon, 27, passed out around 7pm at her Summerland Key home. The sheriff's department says that Gascon threatened her, sliced her leg, put a knife to her throat, splashed hot coffee on her, and threw her down on a glass table so hard that it broke, the Miami Herald reports. Oddly, Gascon is also said to have thrown his own dog on the ground and held its neck down with his foot.

BC Comes Up Short to NewberryMarch 22, 2014
NEWBERRY, S.C.- The Brevard College ( 0-7, 0-3 SAC) lady Tornados couldn't keep up with the Newberry Wolves (3-7, 2-1 SAC) while losing 20-3 in the program's third conference game on March 22 at Setzler Field.
After Brevard let in six quick goals at the start of the first half, Emily Medvedeff netted a goal after receiving the ball from Julia Gasston's draw control at the 24:15 minute mark.
Newberry put in two more goals before the Tornados could answer back at 17:54. MacKenzie Williams attempted a shot on goal hitting the pipe then Julia Gasston quickly received the deflection to add another goal for Brevard.
The Wolves were led by Victoria Thomas after tallying up four goals while five other teammates ended with two each.
Melissa Harris stepped in goal for the Tornados as she faced 47 total shots. She ended the game with 20 saves.
Brevard's Julia Gasston scored her second goal of the game, the team's third, at 22:07 in the second half after picking up another deflecting shot in front of the crease.
The Tornados will travel to Byerly Park to play Coker College on March 29 for another South Atlantic Conference game.

LONG BEACH - Holding posters that read: "We are the future," dozens of students rallied outside of Colegio New City High School on Friday after receiving word that the high school will close after this school year.
Founded in 2000, New City Public Schools is a K-12 charter school system of more than 500 students with campuses at 1637 Long Beach Blvd. and 1230 Pine Ave. Four years ago it added a small high school, Colegio New City, which will celebrate its first graduating class in May.
On Wednesday, however, the seven-member New City Board of Directors voted to close the high school due to low enrollment and a decline in state funding.
Long-time students who have enjoyed the small, close-
knit atmosphere said they are devastated.
"I feel depressed and frustrated because I've never been to a large school, and I don't know what to expect," said ninth-grader Zukey Reyes, who has attended the New City system since kindergarten. "I'm sad I might not get to see all the people I grew up with."
The high school has eight teachers and 84 students, with a senior class of 16 students expected to graduate this year. While school directors had hoped for larger enrollment numbers by now, enrollment has declined as students show progress and then transfer to larger schools, said high school director Brookes Marindin.
"The enrollment hasn't been as high as we expected," Marindin said.
Charter schools are publicly funded, but independently run. They're overseen by school districts but are free from many of the education regulations binding traditional public schools.
New City prides itself on its Spanish dual immersion program and emphasis on multiculturalism and the arts.
Marindin said the school has a 95 percent attendance rate and a strong parent support group. Many parents, she said, are also devastated by the planned closure.
School directors have not determined how much funding the high school would need to remain open, she added.
New City will remain open as a K-8 school, although in November, the K-8 school was threatened with the loss of its charter under a proposed state law that gives the California Department of Education authority over school districts to revoke charters for the lowest performing schools.
For now, however, the school is safe because the law is in limbo while the state struggles to decide whether school districts or the state Department of Education should oversee charter schools, said New City Director Stephanie Lee.
The K-8 school's Academic Performance Index, a score given to schools based on state test results, was 621 last year, putting the school below the state target of 800. The 2011 API for the high school is a low 595.
The K-8 school at one time showed significant gains. In 2006, New City's API score jumped by 57 points, for an API of 741.
Lee attributes the significant drop in scores in recent years to growing pains. She said the K-8 school doubled in size in 2007 and moved to various locations in the city while struggling to find a permanent location.
Students in the high school said they're holding on to the hope that they can raise enough funds to keep the school open. They plan to hold fundraisers over the next few months.
Braulio Roman, a 16-year-old junior, was looking forward to his senior year next year and graduating with his close-knit class. Now, he said he's looking at other possible schools in the Long Beach Unified School District but hoping that somehow Colegio New City will stay open.
"I love this school and I don't want to leave," he said. "We're going to try as hard as we can to keep it open."

Callahan takes perfect game into sixth07/26/2013 7:34 PM ET
By Danny Wild and Brandon Simes / MiLB.com
Low numbers meant good things Friday evening for Jamie Callahan.
The Red Sox prospect turned in the best start of his career, taking a perfect game into the sixth inning before allowing his only hit as short-season Lowell blanked Connecticut, 6-0, in the first game of a doubleheader.
"I felt really good, everything was smooth and together," Callahan said. "I was really just out there pitching -- I was a pitcher not a thrower. I was locating pitches instead of trying to blow up the radar gun."
Making his first appearance in 13 days, the 18-year-old right-hander established career highs with eight strikeouts and six innings in his 10th start since the Red Sox made him their second-round pick in the 2012 Draft.
"It's been a struggle sometimes. Lately, the curveball has really been hit-or-miss -- miss for the most part," he said. "I've been working on my fastball and changeup mostly. I had the curve working tonight and I was throwing it for strikes, so I really focused on that and was really comfortable with it today."
Callahan struck out Curt Powell to end the first, fanned Kasey Coffmna in a 1-2-3 second, induced three straight grounders to shortstop in the third and struck out the side in the fifth. The South Carolina native added two strikeouts in the fifth but lost his bid for a perfect game when Tigers third baseman Brett Harrison singled to center leading off the sixth.
"I was kicking myself because I let up for one pitch and left a changeup a little bit up away and he just took it up the middle," Callahan said. "I was getting it down all night and made just one mistake and he made me pay, unfortunately."
Callahan erased his only baserunner moments later when Chris Taladay bounced into a double play. Javier Azcona took a called third strike to end the inning and put the Spinners starter in line for his third career win.
Mike Adams pitched the seventh, striking out two around a one-out single to finish off Lowell's fifth shutout of the season.
Callahan, who debuted last season in the Rookie-level Gulf Coast League, won for the first time since his New York-Penn League debut on June 21 when he held Tri-City to one hit over five shutout innings. He faced one batter over the minimum through four frames against the ValleyCats and retired the first two batters in the fifth before Ronnie Mitchell singled up the middle.
Callahan's outings since haven't quite lived up to that precedent. He was winless in his previous four starts after serving up five runs over two innings at Tri-City on June 27. The Spinners skipped him in the rotation last week and he had his start pushed back twice this week due to rainouts.
"The organization likes to give you a break to recover, especially with the younger guys," Callahan said. "There was no real reason behind it -- just take a break, catch a breather and get back after it. It was really just a mental reboot."
Callahan was drafted out of Dillon High School last year after he was named the 2012 Gatorade South Carolina Baseball Player of the Year and Region 8-2A Player of the Year. He was 1-0 with a 5.19 ERA and seven strikeouts over 8 2/3 innings last season for the GCL Red Sox.
The Spinners gave their starter a lead in the first when Carlos Asuaje tripled home Tzu-Wei Lin and scored on Kevin Mager's single to left. They tacked on four runs an inning later when Mager delivered a two-run single and Jose Colorado and Natha Minnich added RBI hits.
Tigers starter Hunter Scantling (1-2) was charged with six runs -- five earned -- on nine hits over 1 2/3 innings.
Connecticut took the nightcap, 3-2, when Ben Verlander -- the brother of Tigers ace Justin Verlander -- hit a walk-off homer in the eighth.

FONTANA - NASCAR fans come in all ages, and many of them were at Auto Club Speedway on Saturday for the Nationwide Series Royal Purple 300, from a 90-year-old grandmother to a 3-year-old grandson.
Doris Hammond of Glendale was in the Fontana stands for a special grandson, Parker Kligerman, who was racing a Kyle Busch Motorsports Toyota. It was her first time watching Kligerman compete in person.
"I'm really excited that 'Grandma Dottie' was in the stands," Kligerman said. "She probably wondered what I was doing at the beginning of my racing career, but she's always been one of my biggest supporters.
"Out of all my fans, she is probably the one that is watching my races most intensely and taking the best notes - maybe even better than the notes we take."
For young Louis Bryan of Victorville, who attended the race with brothers Shawn and Anthony Rodriguez, it was actually his second Nationwide race at the track. But this time around, it was more of a learning experience.
"I like the fire trucks and ambulances," he said. "I liked the cars too, they are loud. I had a lot of fun, too, in the FunZone."
Looking for a win
So who's hungriest for a win today at the Auto Club 400?
Bobby Labonte last posted a Cup win in November 2003 in Homestead, a span of 328 starts. Joe Nemechek, who sat on the pole at Fontana in the inaugural race in 1997, hasn't won since 2004 at Kansas, a streak of 298 starts. Casey Mears has a 208-race drought and Martin Truex Jr. is at 207.
Only seven drivers have streaks in single figures, including Kasey Kahne, last week's winner at Bristol. Others are Matt Kenseth (1), Carl Edwards (2), Jimmie Johnson (3), Jeff Gordon (4), Kevin Harvick (5) and Clint Bowyer (9).
Sprinting to win
Kyle Larson picked up $10,000 Friday night by winning the inaugural World of Outlaws winged sprint car race at Stockton 99 Raceway. He and mentor Tony Stewart flew to the Central Valley city after track activity finished at ACS.
Ken Clapp, co-owner of the facility and promoter, said the pair attracted the largest crowd ever for a Stockton race, 10,614. Larson qualified third, one spot ahead of Stewart. He won the "A" main, while Stewart was ninth.
L.A. ink
Kasey Kahne wanted to remember some of the best times of his 31 years, so he got a tattoo on the inside of his left arm of his deceased grandfathers, Kenny Kahne and Richard Peterson, and only told his mother about it at first. However, he tweeted a photo later that night.
"I've thought about it. For a while there I wasn't really into tattoos. Then over the last probably year I've thought a lot about it," he said.
"It's been really the only thing that I wanted up to this point. It was first class and I enjoyed every bit of it."
Tim Hendricks, of Miami Ink fame, performed the work. Kahne admitted it was painful.
"That was my first one. I liked it, so who knows," he said. "For now, though, that is really it. I just kind of enjoy the part of good memories, lots of memories. It's just right there something I will see all the time now and think more about some of those memories.
"I like what I did."
Designated commercial
After winning the 2012 NASCAR Sprint Cup championship. Brad Keselowski set off a firestorm of controversy at Homestead Raceway by drinking his sponsor's product - Miller Lite - out of a big glass while on live television.
He wasn't drunk, but it was obvious he wasn't exactly sober either.
The Pensive Racing driver said he didn't have any regrets about the celebration. And he was proud of a current commercial that promotes responsible drinking that has been aired during the NCAA tournament broadcasts.
In the commercial Keselowski is with friends (portrayed by actors) and the waitress asks what they are having to drink. Keselowski tells her he's not drinking because he's the driver.
"I had a lot of fun after the race at Homestead, and I felt like, personally, that countering that with a little bit of a responsibility message was probably not a bad thing to do," Keselowski said before first practice at Auto Club Speedway for the Auto Club 400. "I jumped at the opportunity when Miller came to me to do something responsibility-wise.
"I believe in life and balance. If you're going to have fun, sometimes you have got to balance that with something else. It is great to be able to send the message of when you do have fun, make sure you do it in a smart way.
"I have no regrets."

Ship Weight:0.17 Zausner - Solar Recover Moisturizing Body Soap Bar - 3.5 oz. Zausner Solar Recover Moisturizing Body Soap Bar is unique antioxidant bar of soap. Zausner Solar Recover Moisturizing Body Soap Bar is a deep reddish color from the inclusion of astaxanthin derived from pacific micro-algae. You will be convinced of Zausner Solar Recover Moisturizing Body Soap Bar's hydrating qualities before it comes in contact with water as it is moist to the touch. Zausner Solar Recover Moisturizing Body Soap Bar is great for cleansing without drying skin. Color variations may be present due to the inclusion of astaxanthin. Intro To Health Discussions:Michael Zausner discuss' general health that covers issues like your drinking water, avoiding pesticides on food and toxification of your body and being wary of marketing that tries to get you to overuse products that may be unhealthy. Are you leaving detergent in your clothing and on your plates and glasses? You should really know about this. "It's not about complex formulations that only a scientist can understand accompanied by a bunch of marketing hype. It's about simplicity, effectiveness and passion." Applications & IngredientsSolar Recover's products both have multiple beneficial uses that will improve the health of your skin and hair especially if used daily. The name Solar Recover is now somewhat misleading as Save Your Skin and Save Your Hair (which were initially positioned as sun care products) have now also crossed over into the general personal care arena. They use them year round. They spray our entire bodies with Save Your Skin every day all year even during the colder months as an antidote for dry skin due to dry heat and chlorine from the tap shower water. It's a great way to moisturize skin daily for women and especially for men who like myself are lazy and far to hairy to bother with smearing cream on their arms and legs. They also use it as an after shave as it works better than anything else we've tried in calming down irritated skin, especially under neck irritation. Charlene is an Esthetician and uses it to calm down irritated skin after waxing her clients. She prefers Save Your Skin to creams for hand moisture because she can use my hands right away after applying it without getting anything she touchs greasy. In addition to its outdoor uses, Save Your Hair is also a great leave-in conditioner. They also use it daily after showering and towel drying and it can even be used on dry hair to add a little moisture. Many mothers use it on their daughter's hair in the morning to detangle dry knotted hair instantly. Solar Recover makes every effort to use all-natural ingredients in all of their products. Save Your Skin is a perfect example: When they go into a new perspective retail customer to demonstrate it and our other products they spray it directly into their face with their eyes wide open. (They don't recommend doing that for anyone else, but that is how natural they feel their ingredients are.) They search the planet for the purest raw ingredients that they want to come in contact with themselves. They only use hydro steam distilled essential oils and not oils that have been distilled using solvents. They steam distill their own water because they do not trust those who offer distilled water commercially to actually provide them with 100% purified water. In short, they are maniacs when it comes to staying away from contaminants. Solar Recover's StoryA Business That Found Them... Zausner's lead product, Save Your Skin, was conceived of a few years ago innocently enough when they owned a tennis club in the Southern California desert where the daytime summer temps reached 115 degrees regularly. After being nuked all day the last thing they wanted to do was to smear sticky aloe products on their skin. So they created a fine mist to rehydrate, the criteria for which was simply to use all natural essential and vitamin oils that they knew was healthy for the skin and to make it smell good. Even though as a tennis pro they were very tan, they never took their shirt off. So when they went to the beach one day and got sunburned they discovered by accident that the spray calmed down the burn and prevented peeling unlike anything else they had ever used. They began testing it all over the Caribbean on themselves by purposely lying out in the sun and burning themselves with consistent results that saved many a vacation. Hence the slogan "The Only Animals We Test On Are Ourselves". They typically stayed at smaller resorts where they were able to get friendly with the ownership and management so as to be able to leave bottles of their concoction at the lobby desk for other guests to try with results that had the vacationers begging to buy it from them. Those initial results spawned the name Solar Recover, and lead them to test market Save Your Skin in New York's playground "The Hamptons" in July of 2000 with results that they could have never predicted. A business was born. A Continuing Passion...The door was open to pursue their passions in creating great products for their own use. In some ways they are a little selfish in that regard. The good news for the public is that when they do release a new product into the marketplace it has been tried and tested by a couple of maniacs who are very hard to satisfy. The final results speak for themselves as they have gone from 1 product in 2000 to many unique products with many more on the way as the flood gates are now open.

Warren Wood, or "Woody," as everyone calls him, directed the Great Y Circus starting in 1971, shortly after founder Roy Coble retired. Woody really turned the event into the kind of circus it is today. He joined me in a room named after him at the Redlands YMCA to share his story, and the story of the circus.
The Redlands circus was begun as a general demonstration of what the YMCA's gym class was doing, and grew into the longest running in the world.
He describes entering the circus world with no background in the field, and gives the history of the founding.
He said it was a community success right off the bat, and they quickly were invited to perform other places, including Marriott's Great America, Disneyland and the Central City Mall in San Bernardino.
There have been injuries, but "the circus is to be highly and commended, and the YMCA, for their safety," he said.
Woody has a role as a catcher for the flying trapeze, in addition to his decades as circus director.
Last year the YMCA dedicated the circus practice room, where originally the indoor pool was, as the Woody Center.
Woody took on the project during tenure as a teacher and librarian at Cope Junior High school. He worked there for 30 years.
Midway through the interview we are joined by Woody's husband, Doug Hairgrove, who taught English at Cope. The couple made big news when they married in 2009 after being a couple for about 30 years.
They discuss what it was like to be an openly gay couple teaching in Redlands in the 1970s and '80s.
"I don't think it mattered," Hairgrove said.
Woody said he thinks it would be harder today.
They also talked about what Cope was like during that time.
"When we had visitors come (to Cope) from other districts, they always accused us of teaching in a country club," Hairgrove said.
Hairgrove circles back to the subject of the circus.
"I just think that there are lots of things about circus that people don't realize how important it was to the kids who took part.... For some of them it's been a lifetime of circus," he said. "A lot of the kids I had at Cope were involved in circus, and it was very important to their lives. And many of them weren't the best students. It was a wonderful thing for them to grab onto and have for themselves and their families."

Finding a Common Language Through Olive Oil
July 24, 2017
A buccal (pronounced "buckle") smear is the painless removal of a sample of cells from the inside of your mouth (cheek) for study.
Sex chromatin test
The health care provider will gently scrape the inside of the cheek with a small spatula to collect cells for testing. Sometimes, you can do this yourself.
Rinse and wash the mouth as instructed.
You will feel a scraping sensation as cells are removed from the cheek.
This test is done to get cells for chromosome or DNA analysis, most often for genetic testing.
The International Olympic Committee adopted the test many years ago to help detect male imposters among female athletes. When the test is used in this way, it's called the sex chromatin test.
This test may also help establish the sexual identity of newborns.
There are no risks.

I'm running a MacBook Pro (more specifics below). I've installed my own SSD in the main bay and replaced the "Superdrive" (DVD drive) with the original HDD to give me a combination of speed and storage capacity. Operating systems: OSX 10.8.2 on SSD and Windows 7 Professional as a partition on the HDD, installed with Boot Camp. I use an external USB DVD drive as the HDD is where the built-in drive would go(details below). I'm not sure what else you need to know, and I will happily provide more info if you need it.
Several days ago, I downloaded BackTrack 5 R3 (64 bit) and burned the iso to a DVD. After testing for a while on the family iMac, I decided to install it on my MBP. However, when I start the computer using the BT5 DVD, it immediately hangs. Here's what happens: I boot the computer holding the option key to select which operating system I want to use. After the DVD drive spins up, BT5 appears and I select it. The screen goes black for a while and then I am prompted with Boot:_ I press return to select the default boot option and the underscore goes to the next line and continues flashing. After this, the access light on my DVD drive stays off and my laptop begins to increase its fan speed. I've waited with the laptop like this for 30 minutes or so, no changes. Any ideas of what to do? My best guess is that my external drive isn't supported by the drivers, like the graphics on the iMac. (Fixed using xforcevesa.) Two days worth of Google searches have turned up nothing, but its quite possible I missed a solution. A verbose mode could be helpful, if there is any available so early in the boot process.

A recognized leader
From USC Women's Volleyball Team to leadership posts in health care, HSPM instructor puts 'team work' into action
By Karen Petit, Arnold School of Public Health, email@example.com
Amanda Williams of the Arnold School of Public Health has been selected for the Class of 2013 of Leadership South Carolina, the state's oldest and most recognized leadership development program.
Williams is a clinical instructor and masters' programs coordinator for the Arnold School's Department of Health Services Policy and Management. Her path to the Arnold School had some twists and turns that have proven beneficial to her career.
A former member of the USC women's volleyball team, Williams was a pre-med major whose goal was to become a pediatrician. But she realized that her interest in health care had more of a business focus, so she decided to pursue a master of health administration (MHA) degree.
It proved to be a great decision, and upon graduation, she worked at Palmetto Health for 10 years in several healthcare leadership posts, which she thoroughly enjoyed. Through her leadership position, she was able to hire MHA students as graduate assistants, which involved mentoring and training them to become future health care leaders.
When the door opened for her to come back to the Arnold School to continue her career in healthcare management education, she couldn't pass up the opportunity to work more closely with the students and share her knowledge of the industry.
"I loved the school, and I decided that I wanted to return here," she said.
The job as masters' programs coordinator seemed like a perfect fit for her outgoing personality in which she has the opportunity to recruit and advise students and build strong connections with the healthcare community. She also teaches a master's-level course on health planning and will teach a course for the undergraduate public health program on healthcare management in 2013.
In 2007, Williams was selected for Leadership Columbia, where she enjoyed networking opportunities with other professionals in the Midlands area and had the chance to participate in events focused on education, health and government.
As a member of Leadership South Carolina, Williams said she will "learn more about the issues facing the state."
Leadership South Carolina participants from throughout the Palmetto State will have the opportunity to network and collaborate on topics related to South Carolina and to become more involved in public service activities. Each class participates in a class project to demonstrate leadership skills.
Williams said being on USC's women's volleyball team taught her the value of teamwork and communication – skills that she puts to use in her job. Opportunities arise, she said, in which she almost is at a level of "coach" to students, and communication skills are critical when working on a team.
"In health care management, 'teamwork' is one of the things that we teach our students. I've lived that in several facets of my career," she said.
She maintains a busy schedule away from the Arnold School as well. She is married to Byron Williams, and they have three children, Sean, Kathleen and Dylan.
When her Leadership South Carolina experience ends next year, Williams will be among more than 1,300 Leadership South Carolina members who have participated in the nine-month program.
Leadership South Carolina accepts approximately 50 participants a year who demonstrate commitment to and leadership within their community and strive to reach a higher level of service to the Palmetto State. For more information about Leadership South Carolina, visit www.LeadershipSC.com
