Manning Match-Up Week Eight - October 24
Wednesday, October 21, 2009
Nine games this week feature Manning Award Watch Listers facing each other, but the selection for this week's Manning Match-Up is a Mid-American Conference showdown between Central Michigan and Bowling Green at 11 a.m. CT on ESPN-GP. The Chippewas are led by Dan LeFevour, last week's MAC Offensive Player of the Week, while the Falcons boast three-year starter Tyler Sheehan, making his 33rd consecutive start this Saturday.
LeFevour looks to continue his team's current six-game winning streak, which is tied for the sixth-longest active streak in the country. He is second in the nation in completion percentage at 70 percent (140-of-200) and has thrown 14 touchdowns with just four interceptions. LeFevour has also rushed for 394 yards and nine touchdowns. In his four years as a starter, he has thrown for over 11,000 yards with 88 touchdowns and holds the MAC total offense record with 13,646 career yards. Among active Bowl Subdivision quarterbacks, LeFevour is first in completions, attempts and total offense, second in passing yards and tied for third in touchdown passes.
Sheehan, meanwhile, ranks second in the nation with 2,337 passing yards, and has matched LeFevour with 14 touchdowns and just four interceptions this year. For his career, Sheehan has over 8,400 passing yards and 57 touchdowns. His offense is first in the MAC and fifth nationally, His 341.1 yards of total offense per game lead the MAC and rank fifth nationally. Last week, he was a Manning Award Star of the Week after throwing for 376 yards and three touchdowns at Ball State.
Central is 6-1 overall and 4-0 in the MAC while Bowling Green is 3-4 (with two losses to nationally-ranked teams) and 2-1 in the MAC. This contest is the first meeting for Central Michigan and Bowling Green since 2006 and the first time at Bowling Green since 2003.

Pearl Jam to release new album in October
Listen to Pearl Jam on iHeartRadio
Pearl Jam have already worked their way into the top ten despite the fact that their new album won't actually be out for another three months.
Over the weekend, the grunge vets' forthcoming Lightning Bolt cracked the upper tier of the iTunes album chart based on pre-orders alone.
The band just announced the release of their tenth studio effort on Thursday, shortly after last week's other big announcement that they'd be kicking off a North American tour on October 11th.
Lightning Bolt -- which features the now-streaming lead single "Mind Your Manners" -- is scheduled to hit stores on October 15th.

The Dodge Journey competes in the crowded small SUV and crossover market. Offering a wide range of model choices, the Journey can be optioned quite nicely despite its low base price. A more powerful-than-average available V6 makes it reasonably quick for this segment of vehicles.
Compare the 2016 Dodge Journey against similar models
The Dodge Journey continues on into 2016 without too many notable changes. The lineup has been simplified this year with only five trim levels rather than seven.
A vehicle's warranty can significant impact your maintenance costs after you drive off the dealer's lot, and it's important to understand the different parts. Typically, a new car warranty includes a Basic warranty, which covers everything except the wear items such as brakes and tires; and a Drivetrain warranty, that covers all the parts that make the car move, such as the engine and transmission
The NHTSA (National Highway Traffic Safety Administration) provides consumers with vehicle safety information based on independent testing, primarily front and side crash rating results, and more recently rollover ratings, to aid consumers in their vehicle purchase decisions.
Below are pictures of the 2016 Dodge Journey. Select the picture you want to view below
Below are the available colors for the 2016 Dodge Journey. Select the color to see a close-up view.
The Dodge Journey occupies a hazy space between minivans and midsize SUVs. More than just about any model on the market, Journey has a foot in each camp, promising strong value for a variety of potential owners. Yet, for reasons that are unclear, it's been largely overlooked by folks who are shopping for a practical vehicle.
Larger than most compact crossovers that compete for the family market, the Journey falls among the least-expensive vehicles that offer a third-row seat. Gas mileage is appealing, and the Journey handily meets the needs of larger families, bypassing the bulkiness of bigger seven-passenger crossover SUVs, such as the Toyota Highlander or Nissan Pathfinder. Body lines are refreshingly different from the crossover pack, if no longer fresh and new.
First introduced as a 2009 model, Journey got off to a poor start with a disappointing interior, but a quick mid-cycle update for 2011 improved it substantially and the current model offers a good value.
For 2016, Dodge has trimmed the Journey model line to four choices: SE, SXT, Crossroad, and Journey R/T, along with a Crossroad Plus package. Garmin navigation is available, which we rank among the best for this vehicle class.
The Dodge Journey offers a choice of two powertrains. The standard 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine makes 177 horsepower and, with an antiquated 4-speed automatic and front-wheel drive feels strained if anyone other than the driver is aboard.
Better to take the strong 3.6-liter V6, with 283 horsepower and 6-speed automatic, and either front- or all-wheel drive. That version feels modern and authoritative in acceleration and responsiveness. It's quieter, too.
Ride comfort is a strong point, with appropriate damping and roll control for a family vehicle. Steering is somewhat quick for a vehicle of this nature.
Although the Journey can be a solid family vehicle, it lacks some active-safety features. Crash-test scores have been adequate, but not good enough to provide full confidence for families. NHTSA gave the Journey four stars (out of five) for frontal crash and rollover protection, four stars for side-impact protection, and four stars overall (five with AWD). The Journey's aging structure was devised in an earlier era. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety gave it a Good score in most testing, but particularly poor for the small-overlap frontal test.
The 2016 Dodge Journey comes in four trim levels.
Journey SE ($20,895) comes with air conditioning, power windows, 17-inch aluminum wheels. Bluetooth and a rearview camera are optional. Seven-passenger seating is available. Journey SXT ($24,395) comes standard with the seven-passenger seating, foglamps and appearance upgrades. Blacktop and Chrome packages are available.
Journey Crossroad ($25,995) features special trim and 19-inch alloy wheels. The Crossroad Plus package upgrades with leather seat upholstery with sport mesh inserts, Uconnect infotainment with 8.4-inch screen and Bluetooth, automatic tri-zone climate control, a fold-flat front passenger seat, and power driver's seat. Rear-seat entertainment is optional.
Journey R/T ($31,395) is the sporty model, featuring the more powerful V6 engine, performance suspension, firmer steering, red accent stitching, and a six-speaker, 368-watt premium audio.
Safety features include curtain airbags, stability control, and active head restraints. A rearview camera and parking sensors are optional.
The styling is dated after eight years of production. Even so, its slab-sided profile, augmented by sheetmetal that exhibits a chiseled appearance, is distinctly different from the crossover SUV pack. The look is helped by flared wheelwells, as well as squarish shoulders and sporadic creasing of the body metal.
More than most, the Journey slips into a middle ground between a traditional wagon and a modern SUV. Despite that styling difference, lacking the customary curves of a crossover SUV, the Journey could be perceived as a somewhat anonymous vehicle. Some might even dub it a relic of an earlier automotive era, but with merits and demerits similar to those of its modern competitors.
Smooth, simple and swooping in shape, the Journey's interior conveys less of a warmly upscale appearance than other Dodge models. Materials are high in quality, if dark, but offset by sufficient brightwork to reveal a little more upscale aura.
Dials and knobs are large, with fuss-free, easy-operating climate controls. The infotainment screen is big, too.
Seats are smartly arranged in the Journey's nicely configured, family-focused cabin, which contains many small storage spaces. The front seats are wide and accommodating.
Second-row seating is among the best in this size vehicle. The rear seatbacks adjust for rake, and the bench slides fore and aft several inches. The rear seats are contoured to fit adults. Sliding the second row forward eases access to the optional third row, where space is acceptable for smaller-size adults.
An extra step is needed to fold seats forward for cargo hauling, which results in a lower and flatter floor. Cargo space totals 37 cubic feet behind the second row; or 10.7 with the third row (if installed) raised. With only front seats up, it's 67.6 cubic feet.
Visibility can be an issue, due to the tall-shouldered design. A rearview camera is available on upper trim levels, helpful when backing up in this vehicle.
When equipped with the optional V6 engine, the Journey is pleasant and responsive. The V6 and 6-speed automatic work well together, even when pushed hard, though the transmission has been known to shudder at times in low-speed stop-and-go driving.
With the four-cylinder, however, acceleration scores no higher than average. The four-cylinder is relatively rough, and the 4-speed automatic transmission that comes with it is disappointing throughout.
Fuel economy is acceptable, but fails to approach class-leading level. The four-cylinder model is EPA-rated at 19/26 mpg City/Highway, versus 17/25 mpg City/Highway for the V6. All-wheel drive drops the V6 figure a notch, to 16/24 mpg City/Highway.
Handling ranks as reasonably responsive, and the Journey's suspension loads and unloads confidently. In fact, it reacts somewhat like a lower and leaner vehicle. Even while taking a corner swiftly, there's no excessive bounding or wallowing when hitting a bump. Ride comfort excels, helped by hydraulic-type power steering that's weighted well, no electric steering here.
The Dodge Journey excels in value and stands apart with its distinctive design. An older vehicle, it lacks the latest active-safety features. The V6 engine is a better choice than the overtaxed four-cylinder.

As you know, pricing cars is particularly complicated. One of our duties at CarQuotes.com is to help our customers comprehend this process better.
CarQuotes.com Estimated Target Price is for research purposes only. It reflects a typical, negotiated price (before taxes and other customary fees and charges, such as dealer documentation fees, tire and battery disposal fees, license and registration, and where applicable, finance charges) generally found for the vehicle that you selected. The Estimated Target Price is NOT a price quote from CarQuotes.com or any other dealer. If you request a price quote from a dealer via CarQuotes.com displaying an estimated target price, your price may differ.
Invoice is commonly known as the published amount that the dealer paid the manufacturer for the vehicle. This may or may not represent a close relation to the dealer's actual cost, but can be beneficial as a benchmark. This figure is available on many other web sites however CarQuotes.com adds an estimate of local and regional fees from manufacturer to the dealers to this price, which makes it very close to the actual invoice amount for cars at your local dealer.
MSRP is the Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price. This is a proposed price only. For most vehicles, the CarQuotes.com price is below this amount. Some high demand cars may be priced over this amount.
The CarQuotes.com Target Price is to be used as a general guide that reflects a typical, market price (before taxes and other customary fees and charges) generally found for the vehicle that you selected. This price is based on our research and estimates of supply and demand in the marketplace. There are many factors that go into the final price of a particular vehicle including local supply and demand. Your final price may differ.
The 'base' price of the vehicle
All options that you select
Base Destination Charges — this is a charge that is added to the base price for every vehicle
Any related Estimated Manufacture to Consumer Cash Rebates. Note: rebates are subject to change at any time. Please make sure to confirm any consumer Cash rebates with your dealer representative at the time of purchase.
Local taxes, license fees and other local fees, such as dealer documentation fees, tire and battery disposal fees, and where applicable, finance charges — these fees are also excluded from Dealer Invoice and MSRP and would be excluded from most advertisements you might see.
Random 'special qualification' rebates — i.e., for new college grads only; for customers trading in a specific type of car. Ask your dealer Representative for more information on 'special qualification' rebates.
The Estimated CarQuotes Dealer Price is an estimate of the pricing presented to CarQuotes members from CarQuotes Authorized Dealers in your area, and is calculated by subtracting an estimated savings value from the Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price ("MSRP") as well as a value that relates to invoice for the "ideal vehicle" you configured. Dealer documentation, administrative or similar processing fees are not included in the price estimate. Any vehicle configured on the CarQuotes website is an "ideal vehicle" and may not exist at a CarQuotes Authorized Dealer or any other partner dealer. Each Dealer attempts to match a member's vehicle preferences with the best possible selection from current, in-stock inventory.
The Estimated Savings represents the estimated amount of savings off of MSRP available to you from CarQuotes Dealers for a vehicle consistent with your configured preferences plus any customer incentives currently available. This is also true when it comes to CarQuotes estimated target prices. Your actual savings will depend on several factors including market conditions, the style of vehicle you select, installed options, dealer coverage, and applicable manufacturer incentives. Each dealer sets its own pricing.
In most cases, you must choose between these programs OR a customer rebate or a special manufacturer-to-dealer incentive that may or may not already be included in your CarQuotes.com Target Price. So, your final price may go up if you take advantage of special manufacturer financing. Credit Union members should contact their Credit Union loan department to determine what type of loan and financing options are right for you.
Please note that CarQuotes.com strives to include identified manufacturer incentives within the CarQuotes.com Target Price. CarQuotes.com does not administer these programs, which are subject to and often change without notice. Eligibility for these programs is subject to verification by a licensed auto dealer.
Ask your dealer representative for complete manufacturer program details for your area, and how participation in these programs will affect your price.
The base vehicle is the vehicle before any optional equipment or destination fees have been added. All of the standard features are included in the base vehicle.
This is the total charge for all optional equipment included in the configuration of your virtual vehicle. The Options charge varies depending on whether it is calculated based on the Factory Invoice or MSRP. Options are not included in the base vehicle price and are not considered standard features.
A Regional Fee is the fee a manufacturer charges a dealer to advertise and promote the vehicle in the dealer's market. CarQuotes also includes estimated manufacturer preparation charges (manufacturer charges to the dealer to cover any work done on the car prior to delivering it to the dealership) and fuel charges (the charge for the fuel in the tank when the buyer purchases the vehicle) in this total. CarQuotes attempts to include regional ad fees in its Factory Invoice calculations; other sites at times do not.
These are the amounts that manufacturers charge to deliver a vehicle from the factory to the dealership.
Customer incentives are also commonly known as customer cash or bonus incentives. These incentives are offered by manufacturers as a way of enticing buyers into purchasing a vehicle.
Dealer Invoice price may or may not bear close relation to a dealer's actual cost for the vehicle. In some cases, a cost for a vehicle may be significantly less than the invoice price originally paid for the vehicle. Any difference between invoice price and the dealer's final cost may be caused by many factors including factory refunds, rebates, allowances, or incentives which the manufacturer or distributor may provide to the dealer.

Jonathan Kohl is a software tester and consultant based in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. One of his focuses is mobile testing, about which he has written a book, Tap Into Mobile Testing. He also leads a training course on the subject. I recently had the opportunity to speak with him about the mobile testing arena. The following is part one of our interview.
Joey McAllister: How do you explain mobile testing to someone who hasn't worked on it yet? Is it like general software testing with a few twists, or is there a very different approach?
Jonathan Kohl: A lot of the principles will hold true, but there are some differences for sure, and it's really important to strategize and figure out how to use your time the best that you can. The "mobility" part of it seems to really throw people off. People with a QA or a testing background who have worked in development shops are used to sitting at a computer. We have our comfy, ergonomic chair at our desk, or our Swiss ball we're sitting on. We have it all set up and tweaked just the way we like it. So, I go to work. I go sit in the test lab, or I sit at my desk and I do my work, and the mobility side of things is something that people don't think of. You actually really do need to move around and do physical things with the devices.
And, the devices have a lot of sensors in them. A lot of testers probably don't realize this, but just for simple things—like, even for a touch screen to work and display properly when you're moving it around—there are several sensors that are being used. It's quite specific, and there's a lot of combinations to explore from a platform perspective. You're not only looking at who manufactured the hardware or the operating system, but you're also looking at the version of the operating system and firmware. Another thing people may not realize, because we take it for granted on the web: To get data to your device, there are all these carriers that are using various types of technology and all kinds of strange partnerships need to occur for us to access these things when we travel. There are a lot of factors from a platform-testing perspective that are really difficult to set up and test well, and we don't really think about them that much when we're testing web apps or other types of applications because we just don't have that variety.
Mobility is bringing some changes. One of the interesting things is that it's bringing computing to people who hadn't been using computers before. So, you have people in developing nations and in areas that may not be as economically blessed who can now afford a smartphone, and they can afford wireless broadband, and they're getting on the Internet and using it for the first time. They're in all kinds of different locations with different speeds and technologies and languages. So, there are a lot of factors.
I talk a lot about "combined activities." We use these things on the move. How is a restaurant trip affected by the applications in these devices? We look for the map of how to get to the restaurant when we're on the move, and we use applications while we're working through our restaurant experience. There are a lot of different factors that come into play there. What's the lighting like in the restaurant? What's the weather like when you're using the application? Are you using the application during a busy time of day, when networks might be getting jammed?

For the I/O issue there are a few things you should check/try.
1) When it starts happening reboot go into the BIOS and check your temps. Is your system overheating? (Obviously this means that you know the "normal" temps for your system as well).
2) Try the device on a different USB connection/port.
3) Try a different USB device. (If you don't want to go through the headache of creating another Live USB you can just use dd to duplicate your current one, though it can be slow depending on your system and the devices involved).

ABSTRACT: This article unites the results from an integrative reconsideration of actual data about obesity from the viewpoint of recent developments in general pathology, epidemiology, immunology, genetics, and evolution. The focus is on the origin of genetic diversity in obesity manifestations on different levels of the disease. In contrast to the current paradigm of nutritive origin of obesity, the revealed set of evidences shows that the origin of obesity is based on either hereditary or post-infectious incongruence between the regulators of fat metabolism and their receptors. The incongruence may be created either by the destruction of receptors during infection or by genome mutations, which by natural selection, lead both to life-saving incongruence between the infectious agent and its receptor, and simultaneously, in evolution to a life-threatening obesogenic incongruence in the regulator-receptor interaction. The pandemic spread of obesity is induced by xenogamous intercourse between constitutionally incongruent ethnoses, which regulator-receptor evolution has processed at different epidemic conditions. The achieved results have allowed a replenish model for the molecular pathogenesis of obesity to explain the genetics of both obesity and its pandemic spread. The formerly maladroit issues of obesity origin, genetic, pathogenesis, and pandemic spread are transformed in an entire replenished system.

The two lungs are the primary organs of the respiratory system. Other components of the respiratory system conduct air to the lungs, such as the trachea (windpipe) which branches into smaller structures called bronchi.
The process of breathing (respiration) is divided into two distinct phases, inspiration (inhalation) and expiration (exhalation). During inspiration, the diaphragm contracts and pulls downward while the muscles between the ribs contract and pull upward. This increases the size of the thoracic cavity and decreases the pressure inside. As a result, air rushes in and fills the lungs.
During expiration, the diaphragm relaxes, and the volume of the thoracic cavity decreases, while the pressure within it increases. As a result, the lungs contract and air is forced out.

Surprise city earns top spot on American fitness index
Washington D.C. may be a city embroiled in political controversy and corruption, but the United States' capital is also the nation's healthiest and fittest city, according to the 2014 American Fitness Index released by the American College of Sports Medicine.
In an effort to further promote her campaign against childhood obesity, Michelle Obama has recently defended the new U.S. Department of Agriculture guidelines that require schools to serve healthier school lunches. Well, her current hometown appears to be leading the way in regard to physical wellness.
D.C. stole the title from Minneapolis-St. Paul, which had reigned as the healthiest and fittest American city for the past three years. The capital gained much of its edge in the rankings due to its numerous public amenities that encourage physical activity and healthy living, such as its tennis courts and pools. Additionally, D.C. reported relatively low death rates from cardiovascular disease and diabetes.

Monterey is one of the most beautiful coastal cities in California. Originally the state capital, the city's diverse topography also makes it vulnerable to a wide variety of natural disasters.
Responding to growing citizen demand to provide disaster response training, the Monterey Fire Department brought the San Francisco Fire Department's highly successful Neighborhood Emergency Response Team (NERT) program to the city in 1994. The first class of NERT trainees completed the course in February 1995. These enthusiastic graduates spread the word, and requests for additional classes quickly poured in from both citizens and businesses.
As the program grew, Monterey public safety officials recognized the importance of reliable communications in their mission of "doing the most good for the most people."
"The question with most community response team programs is how they are going to communicate," said retired California Highway Patrol Officer Tim McFaddan. "You need to be self-sufficient if you are going to deliver in a crisis."
In response, Monterey NERT took a bold step and obtained three FCC-licensed frequencies dedicated to the team. Not long after, the FCC mandated all commercial and public safety license holders to narrowband their licensed channels. While the FCC program was designed to promote more efficient use of the VHF and UHF land mobile bands, the downside was that it placed an enormous financial burden on local municipalities across the country. As a result, many municipalities gave up their radio programs and chose to use cellphones for their disaster response programs instead.
Monterey took a different approach. "We looked at hurricanes Katrina and Sandy; both areas lost cellphones and Internet for up to a month," McFaddan said. "We knew if we wanted to do the most good for the most people, then we needed to have something more reliable than cellphones."
Supply and Demand
Today, the original NERT program is known as the Monterey Community Emergency Response Team (CERT).
Because Monterey has such a varied geographic location, CERT volunteers must complete a thorough, nationwide training program, which covers a wide range of material, from traffic control to light search and rescue. Using the training learned in the classroom and during exercises, CERT members can assist others in their neighborhood or workplace following an event when professional responders aren't immediately available to help. Volunteers also receive triage training and practice taking patients to the hospital via different back roads in an effort to aid as many victims as possible in a safe, timely manner. The training prepares the volunteers for possible emergencies that might last anywhere from a few hours to as long as seven days.
Monterey CERT is organized into nine zones or team areas throughout the community. Each zone has an assigned captain and team members from the surrounding neighborhoods. A rugged, all-weather Conex storage container is anchored to a foundation in the ground in each zone. The containers hold a set of supplies including first-aid kits, hand tools, pry bars, fire extinguishers, body bags, tarps, generators, stretcher boards, ropes, yellow isolation tape, water, portable sanitary facilities and a host of other equipment.
Each storage container also contains Monterey CERT's communication tools: Powerwerx radios, hiking antennas and Pryme's heavy-duty speaker microphones. The radios utilize the three licensed FCC frequencies, which allow CERT leaders to deploy their 308 volunteers at any given moment under challenging conditions.
"Radios were previously stored at the team captains' houses," McFaddan said. "But we realized putting all our resources in one place is just the beginning of a failure. So we decided to evenly distribute our supplies throughout the city's neighborhoods in an effort to make them easily accessible and readily available to all CERT members."
The Monterey CERT communications system is based on a "simplex" ICS structure where radios transmit simply from radio to radio. There are no repeaters or dependent infrastructure susceptible to catastrophic failure. The Powerwerx WXRSM speaker microphones, custom built by Pryme, are water and impact resistant, which provide volunteers with a reliable product in emergencies and training.
"One of the issues with volunteer organizations is finding reliable equipment at an efficient cost," McFaddan said. Recently the city's CERT was awarded a grant allowing it to add a solar panel recharging system to every neighborhood container. The 12-volt battery recharging systems are designed to maintain the handheld radios and other low power resources like interior lighting, and will continue to function during a long-term citywide power failure.
A Neighborhood-Based Solution
Under the city's disaster plan, one critical role for Monterey CERT members is to make initial damage assessment reports immediately following an emergency.

Aarskog syndrome is a rare genetic disorder. It causes short stature and specific facial, limb, and genital features.
Aarskog syndrome is an inherited disorder. It is caused by a gene mutation in the faciogenital dysplasia 1 gene (FDG1) on the X chromosome. It is passed from mothers to male children. Female children can be affected by a milder form of the disease.
Risk Factors
Those at risk of inheriting Aarskog syndrome are male children of mothers who carry the gene for it.
The main symptoms of Aarskog syndrome are:
- Short stature
Abnormalities of the head and face, including:
- Rounded face
- Wide-set eyes
- Slightly slanted eyes
- Drooping eyelids
- Small nose
- Front-facing nostrils
- Underdeveloped mid-portion of the face
- Wide groove above the upper lip
- Crease below the lower lip
- Folding of the top portion of the ear
- Delay in growing teeth
- In some cases, cleft lip or palate
Other symptoms may include:
- A deformed scrotum
- Undescended testicles
- Small, wide hands and feet
- Short fingers and toes
- Mild webbing of fingers and toes, or crease in palm of hand
- Mildly sunken chest
- Navel that sticks out
- Hyperextension of the knees
- Intellectual disabilities
You will be asked about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done. The diagnosis of Aarskog syndrome is usually based on facial characteristics. It can be confirmed with genetic tests. X-rays of the face and skull can also be used to help make a diagnosis.
There is no known cure for Aarskog syndrome. Treatment is limited to surgical procedures to treat conditions caused by the disorder and supportive treatment. Orthodontic treatment is often needed.
Treatment may include:
Conditions that may be treated with surgery include:
- Inguinal hernia
- Cleft lip or palate
- Undescended testicles
In some cases, orthodontic treatment may help certain facial and dental abnormalities.
Supportive Treatment
Supportive treatment generally includes educational assistance to address learning difficulties. Parents often need advice and support.
There is no known way to prevent Aarskog syndrome. If you have Aarskog syndrome or have a family history of the disorder, you can talk with a genetic counselor when deciding to have children.
Researchers have located abnormalities in the FGD1 gene in people with this syndrome. Genetic testing for mutations in this gene is available.

Though Abraham Lincoln didn't sign the Emancipation Proclamation until Jan. 1, 1863, emancipation began when the war did, says Edward Ayres, University of Richmond president and leader of a committee planning the commemoration. "African-Americans began freeing themselves at the first opportunity, which was indeed at Fort Monroe, where they went to offer their aid to Benjamin Butler and the Union Army," Ayers said during an online discussion hosted by the Washington Post.
The Hampton, Va., fort was nicknamed Freedom's Fortress after Maj. Gen. Butler declared May 27, 1861, that escaping slaves who reached Union lines wouldn't be returned to bondage. Slaves fled to the Union Army around the fort, which served as Butler's Virginia headquarters.

If you are talking about the cream cheese layer over the crust, that is generally spooned into the crust, then smoothed with a spatula. This is usually then topped with berries, nuts, crumbs, streusel, etc.
If you are adding a cream cheese decoration on top of these layers, an Open Star Tip (Nos. 14 – 22 or 1M) can be used to make a star or a swirl of cream cheese icing.

Insurance law covers the policies insurance companies offer and the rates they charge. Personal insurance standards include auto insurance, health insurance, homeowners insurance, life insurance, and disability insurance. Business insurance standards usually include commercial liability insurance, errors and omissions insurance, malpractice insurance, and business interruption insurance. Each of these policies covers losses from different types of risk, and both the losses and the risks are carefully defined. It can take an insurance lawyer just to determine if your loss resulted from a risk you were insured for. Sometimes insurance companies deny claims, acting in what is legally called "bad faith." Insurance lawyers can determine if your insurer is treating you fairly and sue for you if the company is acting in bad faith.

In what does the unity of the Roman Rite consist? Fifty years after the promulgation of the Constitution on the Sacred Liturgy, some assert that this unity is textual, and therefore they regard exact correspondence of vernacular texts with a Latin original as essential to believed, textual unity was not what the fathers of the council chiefly had in mind when they made the landmark decision to opt for the expression "substantial unity." We will examine the shift that has taken place between the Second Vatican Council and today in interpreting the Constitution on this point, and argue that the lasting unity of the Roman Rite is best founded on the concept of paschal mystery, the hidden theological treasure of the liturgical reform.
The Godfrey Diekmann, OSB Center for Patristics and Liturgical Studies was created to honor the life and work of Godfrey Diekmann, OSB (1908-2002), one of the 46 theologians chosen from around the world to prepare the schema on liturgy during Vatican II. A lifetime Minnesota resident, Father Diekmann entered Saint John's Abbey at the age of 17 in 1929. He taught theology at Saint John's University for 65 years before retiring in 1998.
"With his immense scholarship and vision, his ample faith and generous heart, Father Godfrey has put Collegeville on the international map and made Saint John's synonymous with serious study of patristics and liturgy-conducted always in a faith-filled, prayerful and deeply personal way," stated Saint John's President, Br. Dietrich Reinhart, OSB, at the inauguration of the Diekmann Center in March 1997.
The Diekmann Center seeks to deepen contemporary understanding of the early Christian theologians of the first through seventh centuries A.D. Their vision of the Christian life is explored through research and educational endeavors including a public lecture series and seminars for students, scholars and pastoral ministers. The Diekmann Center promotes theological learning that engages both the mind and the heart. The wisdom of the early Christian writers bears witness that the study of theology must be steeped in prayer and reflection within a community of learners.
Past presenters in Diekmann Lecture Series have included:
2009 Msgr. Bruce Harbert
2007 Robin M. Jensen
2006 Bishop Donald Trautman
2005 Rev. Maxwell Johnson, Ph.D.
2004 Dr. Nathan D. Mitchell
2003 Fr. John Baldovin, SJ
2002 Dr. Gordon Lathrop
2000 Dr. Geoffrey Wainwright; Dr. Eamon Duffy
1999 Fr. Gerard Austin, OP; Fr. Godfrey Diekmann, OSB; Fr. Walter Burghardt, SJ
1998 R. William Franklin; Don Saliers
1997 Frederick McManus; S. Kathleen Hughes, RSCJ; Fr. Andrew Greeley; Dr. Jaroslav Pelikan

My name is Simon Marin. I was born in Sweden, where I lived until I was 5 years old, before moving with my family to Chile. I finished high school in Santiago and then enrolled in law school.
After graduation and completing all of the necessary requirements to become an attorney in Chile, I moved to the U.S. with the intention of taking my career to another level.
After being here for some time, and with intensive research and conversation with both academics and professionals in the field, I decided to apply to UC Hastings.
Now being a part of the LL.M program in 2006-2007, I can say that Hastings fulfilled all my expectations, especially in the areas that I am interested in: commercial and international law. The program is very flexible in terms of students getting to choose their classes in different areas of the law as well as professors' expertise and commitment to working with you to satisfy your personal goals.
In addition, Hastings is located in one of the most beautiful cities I have ever visited, with a very cosmopolitan feel and diverse culture that have made my experience at school very enjoyable.

The roller shade is great. The rich fabric color has transformed our window and prompted me to order additional shades for other windows in the home. The shades were so easy to install that I installed them without the help of my husband, but with the help of my 13 yr old daughter.View this product

(New Haven, CT) MEA Mobile, a tech company whose focus is the development of apps, moved to New Haven only 18 months ago. In that short time, the company has grown and compounded its success.
MEA Mobile develops their own apps as well as apps for clients. MEA Mobile�s apps include myVoice, a pitch detection product for singers; a suite of engineering apps under their Ray Tools brand and even apps that have allowed users to control the lighting at art shows across in New York and Paris. Despite all this, the primary focus of MEA Mobile is the development of apps that focus on enhancing and servicing consumer produced photos and videos, including the iSupr8, iLapse and GridFilter apps.
�MEA Mobile is an excellent example of the economy New Haven is becoming known for: the manufacture of ideas. Whether it is the commercialization of ideas that make our lives easier and more efficient and convenient or research that results in life-saving medical treatments, New Haven is becoming known as the �idea� capitol,� noted Mayor John DeStefano, Jr.
Just one year ago, and only six months after moving to New Haven, MEA Mobile launched what is now one of its most popular apps, Printicular, and scored an exclusive partnership with over 8,000 Walgreens stores across the nation. Printicular allows users to send photos electronically directly from their mobile phones (or from Facebook, Instagram, Google or other internet sources) without having to download, upload or physically go to a Walgreens location for drop-off. Prints are then available for pick-up in about an hour.
On Monday, Mayor DeStefano joined Bruce Seymour, Managing Director of MEA Mobile, to announce the launch of the latest addition to Printicular: a direct mail delivery service. Printicular users will now have the option of picking up their photos at a Walgreens in about an hour or having them directly mailed to them at a specified location.
Over the next few months, Printicular will add personalized greeting cards, calendars and coffee mug features to its photo-printing options. All will have the option of being directly mailed to consumers.
Seymour decided to move the company to New Haven just 18 months after he and his wife, Mariah Sage Seymour, moved to New Haven in 2009. Mariah is one of the founding partners of a local theater company, Theater 4 (http://www.t4ct.org), which just finished a sold out event at The Institute Library in New Haven.
Seymour noted, �New Haven is becoming known as a tech center of the region,� and felt that moving here would be great for his business, specifically noting that New Haven is home to See-Click-Fix, Continuity Controls, Independent Software and Digital Surgeons among other leading tech firms.
Moving to New Haven turned out better than Seymour imagined. With the assistance of the Economic Development Corporation of New Haven, the company was connected with resources that allowed the business to grow. MEA Mobile secured a small business loan that enabled it to hire more employees, which in turn allowed them to take on more work, which resulted in the need to hire even more employees. In the 18 months since MEA in New Haven, they have grown from just one full-time employee to ten. Seymour doesn�t see the company leaving New Haven and is excited about continued growth and job creation.

Retro Eyeglass Frames

Retro Eyeglass Frames
Retro eyeglass frames are cool. Period. Without a doubt these frame designs make a statement. While contemporary half-rim glasses and other modest designs are certainly prevalent in the boardroom, retro eyeglasses can adapt to the modern work environment just as easily as a day at the beach. In fact, retro frames are a great way for the average corporate employee to appropriately stand out in the crowd. With many of our workplaces becoming seas of grey and black, a pair of retro eyeglasses can help you generate visual interest, and are downright fun at times!
These eyeglasses are also available as retro reading glasses. This adds another level of fun as you transition from your classic glasses frames to a pair of close-up retro units. Retro frames help us remember our past - and they represent a simpler time when cats-eye frames were the norm. Retro is cool, and it always will be.
At Zenni Optical, we've been providing low cost eyeglasses to satisfied customers for years. We follow a simple philosophy, to sell high-quality and super stylish eyeglass frames for men, women, and kids - at prices that are unbelievably low. With thousands of frames to choose from, and a wide selection of retro options available today, you'll no doubt find the perfect pair of retro glasses at Zenni Optical.

Please remember that even contemplating anicca, dukkha etc excessively can lead to sadness. It is important that this is an exercise in wisdom, and not an excessively emotional one. If you find yourself heading in that direction it is important to pull back and dwell on brahmavihara or buddhanussati etc which will give rise to joy. Using mindfulness to look into anicca has less of a risk of this happening as the faculties are more balanced.

NYC After Dark Photo Safari (night photography workshop)
New York City Photo Safari
Multiple Dates
This safari takes place mostly at Times Square; you will better understand issues related to taking pictures in low light conditions (ie. night photography). You will learn how flash and long exposure works and how to use a combination of both long exposure and flash to create an image. You will also learn how to take great pictures WITHOUT using a flash. Although a DSLR is preferred, you may use any digital camera with manual overrides; you MUST bring a tripod. This Photo Safari is best suited for those who have a good understanding of f/stop, shutter speed and ISO relationships. It is strongly recommended that you take Nuts & Bolts offered prior to NYC After Dark as it covers this material. For more information all of our Photo Safaris visit our website NYC Photo Safari today!
New York City Photo Safaris are led by professional photographers with a wide array of industry experience. We are first and foremost photographers; we have spent our careers pursuing photography. It goes without saying that we are passionate about it. The question is why and what are we passionate about? Perhaps it's the photo equipment? Photo gadgets are definitely cool, but there's more to it than that. We want to share our vision with others. The opportunity to teach photography is an opportunity to share our view of the world. Creating a better photo sharing a vision and that's our goal: to help you share YOUR vision through photography.

By Juro Osawa and Lorraine Luk
In Hong Kong, it's all about the gold iPhone 5S.
Apple has asked its suppliers to increase production of the gold-colored iPhone 5S by an additional one-third after seeing strong demand, people familiar with the situation said. It isn't clear whether there are currently supply constraints manufacturing the new iPhone.
An Apple spokeswoman declined to comment.
Matthew Ng, a 22-year-old university student, stayed up all night earlier this week to make an online reservation for an iPhone 5S to replace his aging iPhone 4. He wanted to order one with a gold color, but he says it was sold out on Apple's Hong Kong website so he went for a silver one instead.
The gold model seems to be the most popular among consumers who placed pre-orders for the iPhone 5S at stores run by Hong Kong's telecommunications carriers in the city's Wanchai district earlier this week.
Hong Kong has always been a major iPhone market for consumers in mainland China who wanted to get a hold of new models at the same time as the global launch. In the past, new iPhones came out in Hong Kong months before they came to mainland China.
The value-added taxes in mainland China also made the iPhone more expensive there compared to Hong Kong prices.
This time, mainland China was among the first markets where Apple launched the new iPhones. That spurred concerns among the owners of small handset stores in Hong Kong that were relying on mainland customers who didn't mind paying a premium.
At the Apple retail store in the city's Causeway Bay shopping district, a long line went around the building, with many security guards making sure that there was room for pedestrians.
While the store didn't disclose any estimates of how many people may have showed up, the line seemed much longer compared to last year's iPhone 5 launch in Hong Kong, which fell on a regular business day. This time, iPhones began selling on a public holiday.
While Mr. Ng at the Apple retail store seemed excited about the new 5S he just picked up, he said that it would have been even better if Apple had made the screen just a little larger.
"I don't think iPhones are changing that much anymore. But I'm so used to the operating system," Mr. Ng said. "It would be too much of a hassle to switch to an Android phone."
The less expensive iPhone 5C also didn't appear to be that popular in Hong Kong, a market where most consumers are willing to spend hundreds of dollars on a high-end smartphone.
"Some people seem to like the colors of the 5C, but not me," said 28-year-old Chris Wong who works in marketing. "I think the metal casing looks much better."

Best Of :: Arts & Entertainment
Hard to say if it was dance, theater, circus or dressage, but whatever it was, Cheval Théâtre provided an astonishing evening of entertainment during its extended Denver run last fall. Sitting in the audience, you sensed some mysterious, Cirque du Soleil-influenced story must be responsible for the goings-on in the sawdust ring under a tent in the parking lot of the Pepsi Center -- there were evocative costumes, golden coins, a fallen horse and rider amid swirls of smoke -- but the plot didn't really matter. What mattered was the magnificence of the horses, beautiful animals that represented some seventeen breeds and had names like Gadjal, Chabo, Dansk and Hercule; the grace and skill of the riders; and the extraordinary, almost mythic relationship between the animals and their humans.
No bones about it: Over the past few years, the Denver Blues and Bones Festival has grown into a great weekend. There are much bigger festivals -- the Taste of Colorado, the Cherry Creek Arts Festival, the People's Fair -- and much smaller neighborhood fairs, but Blues and Bones is just the right size, every inch and minute packed with great blues music from a variety of national acts and finger-licking good barbecue from both amateur and professional locals. Cross your fingers that the atmosphere survives a relocation from the Golden Triangle to Invesco Field at Mile High; see for yourself at this year's event Memorial Day weekend, May 24-26.
Barry, Barry, Barry: How can we miss you if you won't go away? Last summer, in a battle plan that rivaled the Invasion of Normandy for buildup and strategizing -- although the plans for D-Day were kept secret -- longtime concert promoter Barry Fe re-entered the fray, joining up with House of Blues (the outfit he sold his concert-promotions company to four years ago) to take on Clear Channel for Colorado's concert business.
Many tried, but after several area runs of The Vagina Monologues, it was local chanteuse Hazel Miller who really shone among the guest actors participating in touring versions of the acclaimed show. Monologues typically pairs local female celebrities -- swimmer Amy Van Dyken and radio DJ Nina Blackwood are examples -- with professional actors to perform the various readings, which range from moving to funny to serious. Miller's eight standing-room-only performances at the Boulder Theater raised the roof, though, so much so that she was asked to return to the role when the show comes back in August 2002. And that's something we can all shout about.
As part of the Denver's Public Library's Special Readings Project, children's librarian Heath Rezabek held a birthday party last fall for Bilbo and Frodo Baggins, two of the heroes in J.R.R. Tolkien's masterful books on Middle Earth, followed by a ten-week reading of The Fellowship of the Ring, book one in Tolkien's trilogy, The Lord of the Rings. Rezabek, who abridged the book himself for purposes of the reading, held a similar series the year before for The Hobbit, the trilogy's prelude, and he plans to follow up with the final two books in the next two years. Although the readings are scheduled to coincide with the three Rings movies, Rezabek's goal is to help kids of all ages use their own imaginations rather than Hollywood's, and to introduce a new generation of fans to Hobbitdom. No special effects needed.
Call her madam! Lou Bunch ran the most successful whorehouse in Central City back in the days when the mining town was known as the "Richest Square Mile on Earth." These days, it could be the saddest square mile on earth, since Central City's plan to mine the wallets of would-be gamblers was blocked by nearby Black Hawk, which literally moved mountains to make sure that its big casinos would snag all the suckers before they could head farther up the hill. As a result, though, Central City has managed to retain some of its classic character -- and you'll never see more classic characters than at Lou Bunch Days. Held every Father's Day weekend, the festival features includes bed races up and down Main Street (complete with appropriately attired female riders), costume contests and a dance; a recent, unofficial addition to the lineup is the return of many old Zekes, Central City residents who were frightened away or pushed away by gambling but return for this wild, wacky weekend. "It's a great time to be in Central City," says Lew Cady, publisher of the Little Kingdom Come newspaper ("published whenever we damn well feel like it"). "Especially for people who are longtime lovers of the town." And current lovers of good old-fashioned frolics. "If New Year's Eve is amateur night," Cady adds, "this is for the professionals." And no one was more of a pro than Madam Bunch.

A DELIVERY driver who manipulated two Bridgwater schoolgirls by encouraging them to send him indecent photos and videos of themselves has escaped a prison sentence.
Steven Jenkins, 21, "flattered" the two 15-year-olds by telling them nice things so they would send him sexual images.
He threatened to kill himself if they didn't comply, forcing one of his concerned victims to tell a teacher of his demands.
Jenkins pleaded guilty to two counts of causing or inciting child prostitution or pornography and was given a three-year community order at Taunton Crown Court today (February 17).
Sentencing, Judge Graham Hume Jones said: "It is well known unfortunately that some young people are using their telephones in order to transmit incidents of sexual activity.
"This is mostly, in my understanding, done out of bravado and showing off. Children ought to be protected from that sort of activity.
"You degraded these children and caused them concern when they discovered they had been duped in to this sort of behaviour."
The court heard Jenkins, of Headington, Oxford, contacted one of the teenagers when she put a message out on Blackberry Messenger saying she was "depressed".
Prosecuting, Janice Eagles said Jenkins flattered her to make her feel better before "growing close" and requesting indecent pictures.
It was said one victim sent him ten to 15 pictures and two videos while the other sent around 20 photos.
Jenkins threatened to kill himself if they refused, but his actions came to light in July after one of the girls told her teacher what had been happening.
When arrested in December, Jenkins told officers he did not realise it was an offence to request images from girls 16 to 18 and said he did not appreciate the age of the girls.
Defending, Patrick Mason said: "He is a delivery driver for a national company and is in a well paid job. He is not sure if he will remain in a job because he has not told his employers about this yet.
"His feeling is he will probably be sacked."
Jenkins was ordered to sign the Sex Offenders' Register, undertake the Thames Valley Sex Offenders' programme and pay costs of £350.

Katie McMinn found herself, at age 7, when she discovered the piano.
McMinn, now 29, of Cottonwood Heights, produced and recorded her first song at age 17. Her music has been likened to Ingrid Michelson, Adele and Sara Bareilles. She's released an EP, "Fly," and regularly performs her piano-driven songs locally.
Her song, "Sleep Through It," was chosen as the theme of the 2008 Utah Dating Violence campaign, which aimed to bring awareness to the issue of abuse. She was inspired to write the song by her day job as a violence-prevention specialist for the Utah Department of Health.
In an email interview, McMinn answered questions about her inspirations, her work and presidential politics.
Why were you drawn to the piano at an early age?
When I was young, my dad was a songwriter in a band, and I grew up listening to him jam on the piano.
What are some of your most memorable experiences in music?
Being able to sing to a huge crowd like at The Depot or the Sandy Fourth of July Celebration. Also being in the studio and recording, which allows you to be in control and yet at the same time completely free. It is indescribable.
What inspires you or, rather, what doesn't inspire you?
I am so inspired by people who work hard and follow their dreams. What is most uninspiring to me is watching people waste their talents or not pursue their passions.
Did you notice any increased exposure after the "Sleep Through It"song was released?
A bit, yes. I received increased exposure among the wonderful people who work to stop violence in our communities.
Is domestic violence on the upswing in Utah?
Last year more than 3,000 men, women and children escaped to a shelter due to domestic violence.
Are you drawn to more fun music or more serious topics?
I'm drawn more to music with a message. I feel like music gives me a voice that I won't have otherwise. With that said, it is nice to sit back and chill to the "fun" songs.
If you could play President Obama one song, what would it be?
For President Obama, I would play "Fly" from my EP. We want to fly as a nation but we don't want to leave him behind.
If you could play Gov. Mitt Romney one song, what would it be?
For Gov. Romney, I would say my song "Find Your Way." He needs to stay strong to who he is and find his way past the political games.

This text provides an overview of language as subject. It emphasises the importance of viewing language as subject not in isolation but in relation to the wider language(s) of schooling and language(s) of education perspectives. It also recognises that many aspects of language as subject including its aims, content and teaching approaches are contested. This text does not seek to recommend one simple way of resolving the questions raised but aims to increase awareness of those issues and provide readers with a means of reflecting critically on their own practice and curricula. In order to achieve that end, each of the related modules of the platform concludes with a series of 'questions for consideration' to promote self-reflection.
This section of the platform provides an overview of reading as a key dimension of language as subject. It considers issues related to what 'reading' means, particularly in the school context and addresses some of key tensions that have to be faced when constructing and teaching the curriculum. The section ends with a series of 'questions for consideration' in order to help readers reflect critically on their own policy and practice.
This section of the platform provides an overview of writing as a key dimension of language as subject. It considers various aspects of the writing process and addresses some key questions facing policy developers and teachers. It stresses the need for a broad approach to writing in language as subject. The section ends with a series of 'questions for consideration' to help readers reflect critically on their own policy and practice.
Whatever the subject, all knowledge building in the school context involves working with language. The purpose of this text is to suggest a general approach enabling different levels of specification of these language dimensions to be classed in transversal descriptive categories. The aim is to describe the process leading from units for analysis of actual uses to the identification of linguistic forms and mechanisms appropriate to those uses. It is aimed not only at the authors of curricula and textbooks and the designers of tests, but also at teachers, and especially teachers of subjects sometimes quite wrongly described as "non-linguistic", to draw their attention to the language components of work in their subject. It is also relevant to teacher trainers, particularly those responsible for the teaching of disciplines other than languages taught as a subject.

Date: Tuesday, April 30, 2013
Time: 6:00 pm
Location: Belk Library -- Room 114
Admission: Free, open to the public
Students, faculty and community members are invited to read the graphic novel Persepolis: the library has placed copies of the book on 24-hour reserve. There will be a showing of the film Persepolis on Tuesday, April 30th at 6:00 pm at the library (Rm 114). Both the book and the film will be discussed afterwards.
Persepolis is a 2007 animated film based on Marjane Satrapi's autobiographical graphic novel of the same name. The film received numerous awards including being a co-winner of the Jury Prize at the 2007 Cannes Film Festival. It was also nominated for many awards including an Academy Award for Best Animated Feature. The story follows a young girl as she comes of age against the backdrop of the Iranian Revolution.
The film will be introduced by Dr. Renee Scherlen, who will also lead discussion on the film and book following the showing. Dr. Scherlen is a professor of Political Science at Appalachian State University; comparative politics, foreign policy, international politics, and gender are among her areas of specialization.
The event is presented by ASU Library in conjunction with the ASU Humanities Council and the Muslim Students Association with support from the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) program. This is the fourth in a series of programs that compose the 2013 Bridging Cultures, Muslim Journeys Program.
More on the film: Filmmakers Vincent Paronnaud and Marjane Satrapi collaborated to co-write and co-direct this adaptation of Satrapi's bestselling autobiographical graphic novel detailing the trials faced by an outspoken Iranian girl who finds her unique attitude and outlook on life repeatedly challenged during the Islamic Revolution.
The Guardian described the film as "superbly elegant" and goes on to note: "Persepolis gives us the sheer pleasure of narrative, rarely found in modern cinema or indeed fiction: a gripping story of what it is like to grow from a lonely imaginative child into an adult, and to find this internal tumult matched by geo-political upheaval."

After trying to figure this out for two months, I've made some progress. I switched from VirtualBox to VMWare Workstation 9 and it started working perfectly. That is until about 2 hours in. Back to the same problem. I also notice now that in the bottom status bar of WICD it will say the wrong SSID. It will show the SSID of the previous network I've connected to rather than the one I'm trying to connect to now.
For example: "Network1: Putting interface up..." while I'm actually trying to connect to Network2 not Network1.
It always seems to give the "Connection Failed: Bad Password" error when it attempts to "Generate WPA configuration file..." This is also odd because it happens even when trying to connect to a WEP secured network.

A traveling exhibition that pays tribute to the victims and heroes of September 11, 2001 will be crossing the nation to build support for the creation of the National September 11 Memorial & Museum at the World Trade Center. The exhibition tells the story of 9/11 from the perspective of families, responders, survivors, volunteers and everyday people who came together on that terrible day and in the agonizing weeks that followed. It includes photographs, artifacts, a short film, and a detailed timeline of the events of 9/11.
Individuals and communities across the country will also have the chance to contribute directly to this historic effort by signing a steel beam that will be used in the construction of the National September 11 Memorial.
The national tour is part of a grassroots awareness and fundraising effort to involve as many Americans as possible in contributing to the National Memorial & Museum that will honor the innocent lives lost on September 11, 2001 and February 26, 1993 and preserve the memory of the events for future generations.
