Increased appetite means you have an excess desire for food.
Hyperphagia; Increased appetite; Hunger; Excessive hunger; Polyphagia
An increased appetite can be a symptom of different diseases. For example, it may be due to certain mental conditions and endocrine gland disorders.
An increased appetite can come and go (intermittent), or it can last for long periods of time (persistent), depending on the cause. It does not always result in weight gain.
The terms "hyperphagia" and "polyphagia" refer to someone who is focused only on eating, or who eats excessively before feeling full.
Causes of increased appetite include:
Emotional support, and in some cases counseling, are recommended.
If a medication is causing increased appetite and weight gain, your health care provider may decrease your dosage or recommend a different drug. Never stop taking your medication without first talking to your health care provider.
Contact your health care provider if:
Your health care provider will exam you, weigh you, and ask questions about your medical history. exam. You also may have a psychological evaluation.

E-Mail Scam
Welcome to the Homefront Reporter
We think you'll find the information contained in this newsletter to be a valuable tool for enhancing your Internet experience. If, however, you'd prefer not to receive these bulletins on a monthly basis, click HERE.
E-Mail Scam - Social Security Administration Warns of E-mail Scam
The Social Security Administration has received reports of an e-mail message being circulated with the subject "Cost-of-Living for 2007 update" and purporting to be from the SSA. The message provides information about the 3.3 percent benefit increase for 2007 and tells the e-mail recipients to update their personal information or their account will be suspended indefinitely. They are then directed to a phony site designed to look like the official Social Security website.
Once at the bogus website, individuals are asked to register for a password and to confirm their identity by providing personal information such as their Social Security number, bank account information, and credit card information.
Patrick O'Carroll, Jr., Inspector General of Social Security, reminds the public to always take precautions when giving out personal information. "You should never provide your Social Security number or other personal information over the Internet or by telephone unless you are extremely confident of the source to whom you are providing the information," O'Carroll said.
You can report receipt of the aforementioned fraudulent e-mail message or other suspicious activity to Social Security's Office of Inspector General by calling the OIG Hotline at 1-800-269-0271. A Public Fraud Reporting form is also available at OIG's website at www.socialsecurity.gov/oig.

Ask The Help Desk - How Do I Get a Web Page to Refresh with Updated Information?
Question: Sometimes I go to a web page that I know updates their content frequently (with stock reports, weather, news, etc.) but I can't get it to refresh/reload with new information. Is there anything I can do?
Answer: Yes, there is a trick you can try when this happens to you. When typing the site's URL (web address), add a question mark (?) to the end. Your web browser will think it's a new web page and will "refresh" it for you, displaying the updated content. If you need to keep "refreshing" on subsequent visits to the same web page, simply add a different letter(s) behind the question mark each time (i.e. ?glp) and the page will be downloaded with the most current information.
Why does this trick work? Your browser only downloads information in front of a question mark. However, since the whole URL changes (by adding the question mark and possibly other letters behind the question mark), the browser provides a complete "refresh" of the web page.

- Course Number:
- Course Title:
- Geology Field Studies: Mount St. Helens
- Credit Hours:
- 1
- Lecture Hours:
- 10
- Lecture/Lab Hours:
- 0
- Lab Hours:
- 0
- Special Fee:
Course DescriptionIntroduces basic concepts in geology through lecture and a field trip in the vicinity of Mount St. Helens. Prior geology experience recommended. Prerequisites: WR 115, RD 115 and MTH 20 or equivalent placement test scores. Audit available.
Addendum to Course Description
Geology Field Studies: Mount St. Helens (G200 E) is a one credit course designed to engage students with the earth sciences by examining the geology of the Mount St. Helens area. The course consists of a one day field trip buttressed by supporting lectures that introduce aspects of geology as needed to explain the geology of the Mount St. Helens area. This course can be used to partly fulfill graduation requirements for the Associate Degree. The text and materials have been chosen by the faculty and the emphasis of the course will be the viewpoint of the author(s). This includes the geologic time scale and the evolution of the Earth.
Regarding the teaching of basic geologic principles (such as geologic time and the theory of evolution), the Portland Community College Geology Department stands by the following statements about what is science.
- Science is a fundamentally non-dogmatic and self-correcting investigatory process. A scientific theory is neither a guess, dogma, nor myth. The theories developed through scientific investigation are not decided in advance, but can be and often are modified and revised through observation and experimentation.
- Creation science, also known as scientific creationism, is not considered a legitimate science, but a form of religious advocacy. This position is established by legal precedence (Webster v. New Lenox School District #122, 917 F.2d 1004).
- Geology instructors at Portland Community College will teach the generally accepted basic geologic principles (such as geologic time and the theory of evolution) not as absolute truth, but as the most widely accepted explanation for our observations of the world around us. Instructors will not teach that creation science is anything other than pseudoscience.
- Because "creation science", "scientific creationism", and "intelligent design" are essentially religious doctrines that are at odds with open scientific inquiry, the Geology/General Sciences SAC at Portland Community College stands with such organizations such as the National Association of Geoscience Teachers, the American Geophysical Union, the Geological Society of America, and the American Geological Institute in excluding these doctrines from our science curriculum.
Students are expected to be able to read and comprehend college-level science texts and perform basic mathematical operations in order to successfully complete this course.
Intended Outcomes for the course
Upon completing this course, students should be able to:
A. narrate a geologic history of the Mount St. Helens region by combining site specific content knowledge with limited personal field observations and experiences within the Mount St. Helens region.
B. connect current volcanic hazard assessments of the Mount St. Helens region to the geography and geologic history of the study area.
C. communicate geologic concepts effectively using maps and diagrams in written and/or oral formats.
Course Activities and Design
The material in this course will be presented in a combination of field trip and lecture/discussion. Other educationally sound methods may be employed such as collection of field data, small group work, research papers and guest lecturers.
Outcome Assessment Strategies
At the beginning of the course, the instructor will detail the methods used to evaluate student progress and the criteria for assigning a course grade. The methods may include one or more of the following tools: examinations, quizzes, homework assignments, field trip write-ups, research papers, small group problem solving of questions arising from application of course concepts and concerns to actual experience, oral presentations, or maintenance of a field note book.
Course Content (Themes, Concepts, Issues and Skills)
- Geologic materials and structures underlying the Mount St. Helens area.
- Internal and external processes which produced the geologic materials and structures underlying the Mount St. Helens area.
- The geologic history recorded by the geologic materials and structures underlying the Mount St. Helens area.
- Geologic hazards associated with the Mount St. Helens area.
- Geologic resources associated with the Mount St. Helens area.
- The impact of global change on the Mount St. Helens area.
- Field based observations of the Mount St. Helens area.
- Intertwining personal experience and scientific knowledge to create a sense of place for the Mount St. Helens area.

Canadiens defenceman Mark Streit celebrates with teammate Alexei Kovalev after his second-period goal on Tuesday night at the Bell Centre.
Pierre Obendrauf, Gazette
Updated by The Gazette's Kevin Mio
Lineups | Preview | Game Story | Game Summary | Event Summary | Boxscore | Boone Post-Mortem | Fisher column
It was a lot closer than it had to be, but the Canadiens managed to hold on for a 4-3 win over the Ottawa Senators at the Bell Centre on Tuesday night.
Ottawa jumped out to an early 1-0 lead when Chris Kelly scored only 2:42 into the game after Cristobal Huet mishandled the puck behind his net.
But the Habs rallied after that with goals by Andrei Kostitsyn, on the power play, and Tomas Plekanec before the first period was over to grab a 2-1 lead.
Mark Streit padded the Montreal lead when he scored with a slap shot that whistled over Martin Gerber's shoulder for a 3-1 Canadiens lead eight minutes into the second period. Plekanec added his second of the game, and 19th of the season, at the midway point of the frame by banking a shot off Gerber's shoulder from the side of the net.
As was the case on Sunday, the Habs let a three-goal lead slip away.
The Senators scored two quick goals in the third period to narrow the gap to 4-3. Jason Spezza scored less than three minutes into the period and Joe Corvo banked a shot off a Canadiens defender during a power play for Ottawa's third goal.
But unlike Sunday, the Canadiens held their ground and maintained their lead.
The Sens outshot the Habs 29-26. Montreal went 2-for-4 on the power play, while Ottawa managed only one goal on four opportunities with the man advantage.
With the victory, the Canadiens close to within one point of the Senators for first place in the Northeast Division and the Eastern Conference. The two teams will meet again on Saturday, this time in Ottawa.

will css and the browser makers ever get it right?
i spent the whole day reading tutorials about creating a simple nav menufrom unordered lists.
almost none worked exaclty as taught in IE, and the other require hacks.
what gives?
i mean i love it but i hate it too, if only we could all just get along.
it really feels harder than php and javascript combined
It's just one of those annoyances which you have to put up with. In time you'll get better at knowing how different browsers handle the same CSS. If you want more uniformity between browsers, try a CSS framework such as Blueprint CSS.
HI, if you post a link to your current attempt (remove all hacks please, we will have to remove them anyway since it's not needed probably) and we will tell you what went wrong wehre
Not necessarily....
IE doesn't handle CSS well. Never has, and I doubt it ever will. If the site looks good in FF/Opera/Safari or Chrome, then the code is probably correct. The next step is wrangling the site in IE. :sick:
If you keep practising the hard work will pay off. You learn how to get Internet Explorer to play nice with the other kids and avoid the common glitches. Though when you learn CSS3 you'll have to suffer with hacks and filters (like conditional comments and JavaScript) all over again :lol:
That's not true at all. Everything, can be solved with a higher IQ. Developing for IE isn't that much different from any other browser like FF, Chrome, Opera, Flock the list can go on...
You don't need a high IQ to be able to learn CSS. Heck, this is unrelated, but it was thought that solving rubiks cubes meant you're a genious. A monkey could solve it if it had any sort of memory
Did you read what I wrote Ryan? I didn't say that you have to have a high IQ to learn CSS.
You can be a complete moron and still comprehend the syntax.
What I meant to say is that you can solve any problem if you have a higher IQ.
You said "everything can be solved with a high IQ"
You generalized it

August 2011
Wednesday, Aug. 17, 2011 -- Cleaning white carpet design in Eielson Building
With the large amount of white on the new logos in the carpet at the entrances of the Eielson building, how will they be kept clean?
From Martin Klein, Facilities Services
A white design in a high-traffic entrance will create some cleaning challenges. We have carpet designs in the entrances to both the Elvey Building and the Patty Ice Arena. Our custodial contractor takes extra care to keep those carpets looking good and similar effort will be required in the Eielson Building.
Wednesday, Aug. 17, 2011 -- Nixle alert on a vehicle fire
Why wasn't there a Nixle alert about the vehicle on fire in front of Wickersham yesterday?
From UAF Police Chief Sean McGee
The UAF Fire Department did not request an alert; The fire was extinquished with a fire extinguisher.
Tuesday, Aug. 16, 2011 -- Flower bed at Yukon and Tanana Drive
I've missed seeing the flowers that have always burst forth each summer at the intersection of Yukon and Tanana; this summer there are only weeds. Since this a major artery on campus, can something be put in?
Facilities Services has a new design for the flower bed at the intersection Tanana Drive and Yukon Drive including a small brick retaining wall and perennial flowers for easier maintenance. It's expected to be completed by the end of the summer.
Tuesday, Aug. 16, 2011 -- Warehouse paper costs
I was wondering why it is that a ream of copy paper cost $62 if we purchase it through the warehouse? We can get it delivered, free of charge, next day most of the time, for around $40.
From Linda Miller, Warehouse manager
We buy our paper from Unisource and our last cost per carton was $52.00 a case; with the 17 percent mark up we sell it of $62.00 a case. Each case has ten reams. There is a cheaper paper we could buy from the box stores and at one time we did sell a less expensive brand, but we had several complaints about how it fed through copiers or printers, so we upgraded to a higher quality paper. The State of Alaska had a contract for paper which met the quality and specifications required by users. We fed off that contract and continue to do so since we have determined that buying the cheaper paper too often results in unhappy customers. As a side we also deliver next day for free.
Certainly no department has to buy paper from the warehouse, and If the cheaper paper works for them they should probably buy it.
Monday, Aug. 15, 2011 -- Emergency notification during recent drill
So with the emergency response drill is going on and I had no clue until just now. My phone never got a message from Nixle and if my coworkers had said it was going on, I wouldn't know. For the Nixle, maybe I have to sign up again? My coworker had to sign up twice, granted he only got the text message on his phone about half an hour into the "drill". Is there a way to see if that can be done faster?
Also, although the sign at the bottom of the hill and such says that there is a drill going on and to call a phone number, if this were a real situation would the car and main walker entrances get blocked off somehow? It's hard to call by the time you are already heading onto campus. If you are a walker on say Fairbanks street, you won't see the sign at all. If it's a general community member, they may not be signed up for notices through the Nixle.
From UAF Police Chief Sean McGee
You may need to check your settings to be sure that you have selected the box for UAF messages and for both text and e-mail alerts. We've had instances where campus employees had selected the notifications for the City of Fairbanks or the Fairbanks North Star Borough, but missed UAF as it appears last on the screen.
Also, Nixle seems to work better with AT&T than it does with ACS or GCI. This has to do with the "shortcode" message systems that are used by ACS and GCI. The UAF Police Department has been working to resolve technical issues.
We're continually striving for better and more layered communication systems. Nixle is a free service and so we've been working with it to see if it meets our needs. We periodically review other services for functionality and service, but at this time have not purchased an alert notification system for our campus.
During an emergency, information may be provided in several ways.
- fax or e-mail [UAF-Alert-L]
- local news radio and/or television broadcasts
- Telephone voice mail messages
- UAF's online newsroom

If this had been a real emergency and we needed to keep people away from the scene or off of the campus entirely, we would have closed the roads down.
The purpose of the exercise was to test our systems and find out where we can improve. I appreciate you letting us know about your issues. Please feel free to give me a call if you have additional feedback or concerns.
Monday, Aug. 15, 2011 -- Recycling in the Taku Parking Lot
Is it possible to located the recycling dumpsters in the UAF Taku parking lot next to the Farmer's Loop transfer station? Until they install recycling bins at the transfer station, it would be nice to have easier access.
From Michele Hebert, UAF Sustainability Coordinator
Over the last year, UAF trucked over 500,000 pounds of recycled materials to K&K recycling. This is from the Nenana Parking Lot, in part, because UAF only has one dump truck and is limted by what we can handle with current staffing and equipment. Adding an additional recycling transfer station along a major roadway has the potential of creating a waste management site larger than UAF can handle. Enthusiastic folks are asked to use other recycling locations in the community i.e. Alaska Waste located at 3050 Phillips Field Road and the Fairbanks Recue Mission.
For more information on recycling, visit the Office of Sustainability website.
Friday, Aug. 12, 2011 -- Using annual leave balances to screen internal candidates
When applying for another internal employee position, can the interviewers look at the employees leaves (sick or annual) leave as a means to screen out them? If they go into banner and see the employee has used quite a bit of leave or has saved leave can they use that as a means to eliminate them in the screening process? Can they inquire in the interview why the employee has no leave or a lot of leave?
From Kris Racina, UAF Human Resources
Leave balances in Banner are not a valid means of screening during the hiring process. If you believe this has happened to you, or if you are aware of a hiring authority or committee who has used this information to screen internal candidates, please contact the director or associate director of HR.
Thursday, Aug.11, 2011 -- Information for graduate students
As someone who works in outreach with UAF, I find that any office with an affiliation to the word "Information" gets hit up constantly on the most random of topics. One subject, in particular, that I find my office dealing with despite having minimal information on it is the subject of graduate students.
What route should a graduate student take to secure a research position? Where does it begin? Should they go through Admissions? The school that they are studying under?
Students should be encouraged to make contact with the department most closely aligned with their research interest or visit the department website to get information that will help them to select a faculty advisor.
The Graduate School usually offers thesis completion fellowships (not available to incoming students). Teaching assistantships come from specific departments and research assistantships come from faculty members/institutes.
For people not seeking a degree (post-baccalaureate), they might want to explore opportunities in UAKjobs. Some research jobs are not affiliated with a specific program, so anyone can apply.
Feel free to put them in contact with Graduate School and/or Admissions for general questions about the admissions process.
Wednesday, Aug.10, 2011 -- Emergency assembly points
All departments are supposed to have a DEAP (DEPARTMENT EMERGENCY ACTION PLAN) which includes assembly points for all buildings. Since UAF has so many visitors to each building at any one point during the day or night wouldn't it make sense to have signs posted at the assembly points (i.e. parking lots or inside other buildings) clearly marking the area as a codified assembly point for specific buildings? That would better ensure that students and visitors know where an assembly spot is located in the case of an emergency.
From John Clendenin, Environmental Health, Safety & Risk Management
Department Emergency Action Plans are part of an Occupational Health & Safety Administration requirement that has been designed here at UAF to incorporate University Fire Department requirements. Although the plans are specific to employees, your suggestion has been discussed with the safety, facilities, and fire departments. We will be looking at implementing this into UAF emergency evacuation procedures.
I encourage departments that don't yet have Department Action Plans, to complete the process soon. The form is available on the safety website.
Monday, Aug. 8, 2011 -- Flower bed maintenance
Does the flower bed at the intersection of Chandalar Drrive, Alumni Drive and Tanana Loop require a lot of maintenance or does it just seem like there are always people working on it?
From Darrin Edson, Facilities Services
Facilities Services uses a large student crew to assist our grounds employees in weeding and watering flower beds. Some beds take more time than others, because of a variety of issues and conditions. Campus beautification requires a large investment of time, effort and money. We are constantly looking at ways to improve the service we provide the campus as well as find more affordable and less time consuming ways of doing so.
For instance, we have a few larger annual flower beds that are being transformed into perennial beds this summer and in the future you will be seeing more and more large flower boxes used. This will allow us to control the cost and location or placement of colors.
Monday, Aug. 8, 2011 -- Walkway from south Bunnell to Duckering
The entryway to the Duckering Building from the south Bunnell parking is very awkward. The way the sidewalk is now requires people to walk way past the entrance and then double back; that is why people take the 'shortcut.' It makes much more sense to put in a sidewalk where people are naturally going to walk than to put in a fence. It doesn't have to be a concrete sidewalk, a Brown's Hill rock walkway would be quite sufficient.
Thank you for your suggestion. This is in the planning stages and should be completed by the end of summer.
Monday, Aug. 8, 2011 -- Building by the SRC
Lot's of people are asking me whether there are going to be public executions on the gallows that have been erected next to the SRC. What infractions will result in hangings??
Please tell them it's UAF's new Outdoor Education Center climbing wall. It should be ready for rock and ice climbing instruction this fall. Half of the funding for the 30-foot wall was provided by ASUAF.
Monday, August 1, 2011 -- Safety of Moore Hall structure
Will Moore Hall be safe enough for students to move into this fall? I have some concerns over the safety of the building after what happened this summer.
From Scott Bell, associate vice chancellor for Facilities Services
The Moore Hall parapet (the band around the top of the exterior walls which covers the wall/roof joint) is being replaced because it was installed incorrectly when constructed in the 1960s. UAF had a local structural engineering firm evaluate the building structure and they are very confident the building is safe for people to live in. The problem with the building parapet is not a structural problem. The new parapet will be made of lightweight materials and the work closely inspected to ensure it is well built.

Taylorsville • Bradley W. Christopherson, an attorney, was appointed Wednesday to serve as the District 3 City Council member for the remainder of 2013.
He will be sworn in at noon Thursday at Taylorsville City Hall, 2600 W. Taylorsville Blvd. (5325 South).
Christopherson replaces Jerry Rechtenbach, a council member for nine years, who was selected last month to serve the remainder of Taylorsville Mayor Russ Wall's term through the end of the year. Wall resigned to take a job as Salt Lake County's director of public works and regional development.
Christopherson, 35, was one of seven applicants for the position. In a first round of balloting, the field was narrowed to the top four vote-getters. Council members approved Christopherson 3-1 in a second round, with Larry Johnson casting the dissenting vote.
The other finalists were Dave Ballou, an insurance agent and broker; Daryl Gudmundson, an insurance and securities agent; and Tally Pond, president of a marketing company.
Also applying were Matthew T. Dill, owner/operator of a small business; Jeremy Stauffer, account manager for an insurance software company; and Milton C. Witt, a financial planner.
Christopherson has his own law practice and is a lifelong Taylorsville resident. He and his wife, Wendy, have three children.
The annual salary for a council member is $13,219. The four-year council term runs until January 2016; the seat will be up for election in November and the winner will serve the remaining two years, beginning in January 2014.
After that, the seat will come up for election every four years.

In an interview with Wonderland Magazine JK Rowling says that she screwed up at least a portion of the Harry Potter books.
"For reasons that have very little to do with literature and far more to do with me clinging to the plot as I first imagined it, Hermione ended up with Ron. I know, I'm sorry, I can hear the rage and fury it might cause some fans, but if I'm absolutely honest, distance has given me perspective on that. It was a choice I made for very personal reasons, not for reasons of credibility. Am I breaking people's hearts by saying this? I hope not."
She goes on to say that if she had to do it over again Harry would have ended up with Hermione and the way it stands now Hermione and Ron definitely would need marriage counseling and probably would get divorced. Do they have divorces in the wizarding world? Does anyone remember any other couple getting divorced? It was obvious that Harry and Hermione belonged together but I don't have a huge problem with it. I kind of imagined Ron ending up single and a lot like Lenny from That Thing You Do. You know, moves to Vegas or Reno and becomes a drunk who makes a couple of bucks using magic whenever he needs a boost. It's unreasonable to expect that everyone turned out perfectly when they grew up.

Dr. Janice Lee Leaves UCSF for NIDCR Leadership Position
UCSF Dentistry Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Professor of Clinical OMFS and departmental Vice Chair Janice S. Lee, DDS, MD, MS, is leaving after a decade at UCSF to become Deputy Clinical Director at the National Institute of Health's (NIH) National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR).
The Office of the Clinical Director oversees all intramural clinical activities related to NIDCR's mission, and encourages a collaborative, multidisciplinary environment that promotes the translation of basic research discoveries into clinical practices.
"I will be working with investigators who are doing basic science research and facilitating the clinical application of their work, and I will be doing my own clinical and translational research" explains Lee. "But I'll also be working with the Clinical Research Fellowship Program, and overseeing the clinical care that goes on at the NIDCR."
The Institute's highly specialized hospital facility serves patients who are cared for under research protocols from any one of the NIH's 27 associated institutes. The NIDCR is often consulted on patients with oral and craniofacial issues, but they may also be part of a research protocol in which there are associated oral or head and neck manifestations.
Lee has been a part of the Craniofacial Anomalies Team at UCSF Medical Center, and a member of the UCSF Program in Craniofacial and Mesenchymal Biology (CMB).
The integrated nature of the challenges ahead at NIDCR are highly energizing for both the clinician and the researcher in Dr. Lee. "My extensive clinical experience is a big part of what I bring to NIDCR from my years at UCSF," she says, "as is the culture of interdisciplinary collaboration that's so prevalent here."
Concludes Lee: "My new role will allow me to have a greater impact on dentistry and dental research, including research that impacts all areas of the body. That's exciting. At the NIH, your reach extends to a broader community. UCSF is an amazing place that has fostered collaboration and leadership opportunities, and has been among the most valuable and enriching experiences of my professional life."
"Janice has been extremely productive during her eleven years with the department" says M. Anthony Pogrel, DDS, MD, William Ware Endowed Professor and Chair of the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, and Associate Dean for Hospital Affairs. "Her many grateful patients include children with a variety of craniofacial deformities, who will be forever thankful for Janice's life-changing care. Her clinical care has been the backdrop to her research into bone regeneration, as well as 3-D imaging analysis to guide skeletal reconstruction of the face, with particular emphasis on correcting facial asymmetry. She was also a co-investigator with Dr. Ophir Klein on the 'Laying the Foundation for Building a Tooth' California Institute for Regenerative Medicine grant. She will be missed, and we wish her well for the future."
UCSF Dentistry Dean and Professor John D.B. Featherstone adds: "Dr. Lee will be greatly missed here at UCSF. She was such a wonderful person to work with, who brought much to the School of Dentistry. I wish her well in her exciting new venture."
Dr. Janice Lee

House fire sends McIntosh man to hospital
Published: Sunday, November 18, 2012 at 7:05 p.m.
Last Modified: Sunday, November 18, 2012 at 7:05 p.m.
MCINTOSH — An elderly man was taken to Shands Hospital in Gainesville on Sunday after a fire destroyed his home, according to a Marion County Fire Rescue official.
Firefighters were dispatched shortly before noon Sunday to 9550 NW 230th St. in McIntosh where they found a single-family home engulfed in flames. Also burning in the heavily wooded area was a quarter-acre of land and several vehicles at the site, Fire Rescue spokeswoman Jessica Greene said.
Greene said the homeowner, whose name was not released, was transported to Shands for treatment for smoke inhalation. No one else was injured in the blaze.
County records indicate the property is owned by Ido Gustavson, 75. The records describe the house as a 40-year-old mobile home that had a wood stove as a heat source but no chimney.
According to Greene, the fire was reported by a motorist traveling along Interstate 75 near mile-marker 373, who had noticed smoke in the area.
The state Forest Service also responded to battle the fire, which is being investigated by the state Fire Marshal's Office.

David de Rothschild
Environmental Storyteller
Photograph by The Plastiki Team
Photograph courtesy Broomberg & Chanarin
David de Rothschild is an adventurer, environmentalist, and the founder of MYOO. It is MYOO's goal to inspire dreams, fuel conversation, share innovations, and activate change in order to give nature a voice.
His adventurous spirit, passion, and commitment to action have sent him to some of the world's most remote and fragile regions in order to bring widespread media attention and, moreover, solutions to urgent global environmental issues. He has a unique ability to take his no-nonsense call to action across all demographics, be it from children to world leaders, NGOs to NASA, industries to nonprofits.
In the summer of 2010, de Rothschild embarked on his most challenging and high-profile adventure yet, the Plastiki. The Plastiki set sail on an ocean adventure over 8,000 nautical miles across the Pacific Ocean from San Francisco to Sydney.
The Plastiki was no ordinary vessel. The 60-foot catamaran was built from approximately 12,500 reclaimed plastic bottles and a unique recyclable technology called Seretex. Seretex, innovated and engineered by the MYOO team, takes PET beyond clothing, drink bottles, and blister packs and uses it in a much smarter way. The idea is to avoid adding more plastic into the environment and instead harness a wasted resource and find smarter uses for it. This distinctive, one-of-a-kind construction demonstrated that the list of solutions available is far greater than the list of problems. The Plastiki created a platform to fuel conversation and shift public thinking and perception from plastic as the enemy to plastic becoming part of the solution. The mission: to beat waste. The adventure set the stage for a historic expedition and delivered a spectacular global "message in a bottle."
In November 2011 de Rothschild and a core crew traveled into the heart of Brazil's Amazon rain forest to discover the effects of the controversial Belo Monte dam project as part of MYOO's ARTiculate series.
The bigger the challenges, the more de Rothschild rises to face them, and it is this inspirational manner that's driven UNEP, Clean Up the World, and The World Economic Forum to recognize de Rothschild as a Climate Hero, Global Clean Up Ambassador, and a Young Global Leader, respectively. With numerous adventures, three books, a hit television series, and most recently a National Geographic documentary under his belt, de Rothschild isn't slowing down. He keeps dreaming bigger and pushing harder, and until real action and solutions are applied to the problems, he won't be content.

Welcome to the Homepage of the Graduate Program in Political Science. The graduate program of the Department of Political Science, a division of the University of Houston's Graduate School of Liberal Arts and Social Sciences, provides advanced training in the discipline of political science to students whose career goals include college teaching and advanced research. The Department offers programes for both Master's and Doctoral degrees.
The department is organized into six major subfields: American politics, comparative politics, political theory, quantitative methods, public policy, and public law. Ph.D. Students take comprehensive exams in a major and two minor subfields of their choice. All Ph.D. students must test in American politics. The department has a long history of being quantitatively oriented, and many non-theory students test in quantitative methods. All students in the department must fulfill a requirement in research methods.
Funding is awarded in recognition of academic achievement and in expectation of scholarly success. Teaching and research experience are considered an important aspect of the training of graduate students. Thus, graduate fellowships include some teaching and research apprenticeship.
Recent graduates of the Ph.D. program have obtained teaching positions at colleges and universities throughout the U.S. and abroad. Recent M.A. graduates have applied their training to advance careers in journalism, business, applied research law, political activism and civil service. Others used the M.A. program to determine whether or not to enter a Ph.D. program in political science.
Interested individuals should email the Director of Graduate Studies, Dr. Jeffrey Church (email@example.com).

You can kill the processes with "kill **** = PID number"
I should be able to check your drivers with a bit of googling, but this may help . http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Download
And you can run an injection test to see if it is working following aircracks direction http://www.aircrack-ng.org/doku.php?id=injection_test
An additional feature is the ability to test connectivity to airserv-ng. Once the basic connectivity test is completed then it proceeds with the standard injection tests via the wireless card linked to airserv-ng.
aireplay-ng -9 -e teddy -a 00:de:ad:ca:fe:00 -i wlan1 wlan0
-9 means injection test. Long form is --test.
-e teddy is the network name (SSID). This is optional.
-a 00:de:ad:ca:fe:00 ath0 is MAC address of the access point (BSSID). This is optional.
-i wlan1 is interface name of the second card if you want to determine which attacks your card supports. This interfaces acts as an AP and receives packets. This is optional.
wlan0 is the interface name or airserv-ng IP Address plus port number. This interface is used to send packets. For example - 127.0.0.1:666. (Mandatory)
Hope this helps.

Today's highlight:
On Feb. 22, 1732, the first president of the United States, George Washington, was born in Westmoreland County in the Virginia Colony.
On this date:
In 1784, a U.S. merchant ship, the Empress of China, left New York for the Far East to trade goods with China.
In 1862, Jefferson Davis, already the provisional president of the Confederacy, was inaugurated for a six-year term after his election in November 1861.
In 1865, Tennessee adopted a new constitution which included the abolition of slavery.
In 1909, the Great White Fleet, a naval task force sent on a round-the-world voyage by President Theodore Roosevelt, returned after more than a year at sea.
In 1924, President Calvin Coolidge delivered the first radio broadcast from the White House over 42 stations.
In 1935, it became illegal for airplanes to fly over the White House.
In 1943, Pan Am Flight 9035, a Boeing 314 flying boat, crashed while attempting to land in Lisbon, Portugal. Twenty-five people were killed; 14 survived, including actress-singer Jane Froman.
In 1959, the inaugural Daytona 500 race was held; although Johnny Beauchamp was initially declared the winner, the victory was later awarded to Lee Petty.
In 1967, more than 25,000 U.S. and South Vietnamese troops launched Operation Junction City, aimed at smashing a Vietcong stronghold near the Cambodian border. (The communists were driven out, but later returned.)

Man shot in chest outside Alachua County home, deputies say
Published: Monday, December 3, 2012 at 5:15 p.m.
Last Modified: Monday, December 3, 2012 at 5:15 p.m.
A 44-year-old man died Monday evening after he was shot in the chest in a quiet neighborhood north of Gainesville, and Alachua County Sheriff's deputies are searching for a suspect.
William Redd, of 2010 NE 192nd Ave., near the Monteocha area, was taken to Shands at the University of Florida following the 3:24 p.m. shooting, according to sheriff's spokesman Lt. Todd Kelly.
He died a short time later, Kelly said.
Redd was on the lawn of the double-wide home when he was shot once in the upper chest, Kelly said. He went to the house and banged on the door, and family members inside called 911.
Witnesses reported that a black four-door sedan sped away on the dirt road on the dead-end street. They could not say how many people were in the vehicle, Kelly said.

Gwen Stefani Heads Home with Her Tired Travel Companions
Gwen Stefani and her boys touched down at LAX yesterday. Gwen carried her adorable yet sleepy-looking Zuma through the airport, with his big brother, Kingston, following close behind. She and her little guys arrived home after a family vacation in Florida. Bikini-clad Gwen and shirtless Gavin Rossdale clocked in beach time with Zuma and Kingston, paddleboarding in the ocean and playing on the sand. The family getaway came just ahead of the release of Gwen and her band No Doubt's Push and Shove in September.

text: In an interview with US Weekly, Lindsay Lohan says that she doesn't regret anything she has ever done in her life. Huh? That is crazy. She doesn't regret stealing from everyone? Getting DUI's where she might have killed people if not for luck? Nope, she does not regret one bit of it. Why? Because it has allowed her to be able to cry at the drop of a hat in her acting. Oh, you mean like the stellar performance she gave in Liz & Dick or her role with the porn star in Canyons? That acting? Lindsay says she wants to be known as an actress and not as a troubled starlet. She actually called herself a troubled starlet. What the f**k is a starlet anyway and when did she decide she was going to use the word because now it is even more of an awful word.

The 5 Hottest Beauty Trends From The Golden Globes — And How To Get Them!
Was anyone else surprised by some of the hair and makeup at the Golden Globes? For example: trend forecasters (this is a real job) have been calling for plenty of dark lips, particularly bordeaux and burgundy shades, this winter, but there were a sparse few to be found this past Sunday. Instead, our favorite celebs (and, yes, long-standing beauty icons) opted for fresher-faced looks, eluding any of the seasonal "trends" that were predicted. It was refreshing to see that the stars stayed true to their own personal sensibilities than just, "This is what's hot for right now!" We did notice a few patterns popping up on the red carpet… Let's take a look at the biggest 5 trends from the evening, and how to score them for ourselves.

On the Shelf
Das Kapital Commodified, and Other NewsBy Dan Piepenbring
- On Thursday, just as the Dow Jones closed at an all-time high, a first edition of Marx's Das Kapital sold for $40,000.
- Searching for Orwell in Scotland: "I had come to Jura, a remote island on Scotland's west coast, to find the solitude George Orwell had sought sixty-five years earlier to finish his classic, Nineteen Eighty-Four … [I] wanted to understand why a man so accustomed to city life had come to an inaccessible island of only 190 souls to find inspiration for a novel about totalitarianism in an urbanized state—why a writer at the peak of his celebrity ensconced himself in an austere farmhouse hidden in an inhospitable Scottish landscape."
- Paola Antonelli is "one of MoMA's most prominent, and provocative, curators": "Petite and energetic, she is prone to fanciful descriptions of the world and its things—a verbal extension, perhaps, of a kind of object-oriented synesthesia. Design, to her, is everywhere … She has said that she believes 'the age of design is upon us, almost like a rapture.'"
- In commissioned books of portraits like Matthäus Schwarz's, from the sixteenth century, we can trace the origins of "self-fashioning": "Schwarz's Trachtenbuch (Book of Clothes) was clearly designed for display, and on the whole it paints him in a good light … it announces Schwarz as a person of taste, a supporter of his city and family, a courtly lover, and a well-rounded Renaissance man. It is also, arguably, one of the first fashion books, a distant progenitor of a Vogue lookbook, as it were."
- John Wray profiles Nick Cave: "Cave's public persona has been called 'theatrical,' but a more precise term might be cinematic. Like many self-mythologizers, charismatics and plain old eccentrics, he has always appeared to be performing in a movie only he himself could see."

BLM Releases Updated Resource Management Plan for Ironwood Forest National Monument near Tucson
TUCSON, Ariz. – After extensive public involvement over several years, the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Tucson Field Office today released the Record of Decision (ROD) and the Approved Resource Management Plan (RMP) for the Ironwood Forest National Monument. The ROD and RMP provide a balanced, adaptive approach that encourages public use of the land while protecting the area's irreplaceable natural and cultural resources.
The 128,400-acre Ironwood Forest National Monument is recognized for its dramatic mountain backdrop, the Tucson basin's last remaining population of desert bighorn sheep, several endangered and threatened plant and animal species, and abundant rock art sites and other archaeological objects of scientific and cultural interest. The National Monument receives more than 24,000 public visits a year.
"The Ironwood Forest National Monument is a biological, cultural, botanical, and geological treasure for Pima County and for our nation," said BLM Tucson Field Manager Brian Bellew. "The resource management plan represents the BLM's balanced approach to encourage public use of the land while providing protection to the wonderful natural and cultural assets of the Monument that belong to all Americans."
The Approved RMP will guide the BLM in its long-term management activities and includes adaptive measures to respond to changing conditions and public demand. The BLM held more than 30 meetings, open houses, and workshops to gather public input into how the Ironwood Forest National Monument should be managed. The agency received about 12,000 comments in response to the draft management plan.
The Approved RMP includes the development of a travel management plan that limits off-highway vehicle use to designated routes on approximately 117,520 acres and closes 10,880 acres to all motorized vehicle use. The route network includes 124 miles of roads and primitive roads to provide motorized access and travel; 118 miles of routes to accommodate administrative use of motorized vehicles and for public non-motorized and mechanized forms of travel, such as hiking, equestrian and bicycle use; and 90 miles of trails to accommodate non-motorized, non-mechanized travel, such as hiking and equestrian use. Seventeen miles of routes damaged by previous use will be closed and restored.
Hunting will continue to be allowed in accordance with Arizona hunting laws and regulations. Based on the analysis of environmental impacts and public safety issues on the Monument, and consistent with the State's management of adjacent lands, recreational target shooting will be prohibited. Bellew noted the importance of this action for ensuring proper management of the rare and sensitive resources that the Monument was designated to protect.
"We are committed to continuing to work with sportsman groups and other government agencies for recreational target shooting opportunities on other BLM-managed lands in the area," Bellew said. "The BLM Desert Peaks area, 30 minutes from the Monument and Tucson, is open to recreational target shooting and we will continue to seek to offer opportunities for these activities."
The Approved RMP for the Ironwood Forest National Monument is required by Presidential Proclamation 7320, which established the Monument in 2000. The Monument is located about 25 miles northwest of Tucson and contains a significant system of cultural and historical sites covering a 5,000-year period.
The ROD and Approved RMP are available at http://www.blm.gov/az/st/en/prog/planning/ironwood.html. They are also available on CD. To request a CD, email firstname.lastname@example.com or call the Tucson Field Office at (520) 258-7235. A printed copy is also available for review at the Tucson Field Office at 3201 East Universal Way, Tucson, Arizona 85756.
The Proposed RMP and Final Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) were released in September 2011. Federal law establishes a protest period after the release of an EIS and eight protests were registered. Over the past year, those protests have been evaluated. All were ultimately denied or dismissed.
People or groups adversely affected by specific travel route designations in the Approved RMP may still file an appeal by March 27, 2013. Information on the appeal process is available in the ROD or by calling the Tucson Field Office at (520) 258-7235.

Not just a business, but an opportunity for personal success and achievement, Amway has spread the old-fashioned American dream across the globe - from South America to the Pacific Rim. This definitive history of Amway delves deep into the heart and soul of the organization. It is an inspirational, motivational chronicle of the company as a whole - its ideology, goals, beliefs, ethics, and sense of values - filled with uplifting stories of people around the world whose lives have been totally transformed by the Amway philosophy.
©2011 Kathryn A. Jones (P)2011 Audible, Inc.
"Pretty accurate - not for Amway employees."
I was really curious about this book because I have a family member who joined Amway about 5 years ago and we all became somewhat concerned about her involvement with "the business". I was expecting a juicy expose written by a disgruntled former insider, but this is a well researched book. Amway is not a company with a spotless record and has been likened by many as a type of cult and a pyramid scheme (for good reasons, by the way). Anyway, Amway Forever gives a very detailed background into the company and it's full 60-year history, and does not gloss over the somewhat unsavoury practices and methods Amway uses to make money. If you're a loyal Amway distributor you won't like this book. For everyone else, the rumours that have gone around for years appear to be true. If you're looking for reasons to join Amway, don't read this book.

GSA Awards FEMA ACES Digital Signature Certificates
July 28, 2000
Contact: Eleni Martin (202) 501-1231
WASHINGTON - Under its Access Certificates for Electronics Services (ACES) contract, the U.S. General Services Administration awarded 10,000 digital signature certificates to the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA).
"We are pleased that within weeks after the President signed electronic signature legislation with an ACES certificate that FEMA is one of the first agencies to receive ACES certificates," said Marty Wagner, Associate Administrator of the Office of Governmentwide Policy in GSA.
The digital signature certificates are part of 500,000 ACES certificates to be distributed free of issuance cost to agencies over the next year. Digital signature certificates are used to verify the identity of users when they digitally sign documents over the Internet.
FEMA's National Emergency Management Information System (NEMIS) will use the certificates to allow emergency managers at each of the participating Federal, State and local government agencies to access several critical databases and web sites. NEMIS is an Agency-wide system of hardware, systems and applications software, and telecommunications capabilities to deliver individual and public assistance, as well as mitigation grants. Up until now, due to the nature of the information processed, most of NEMIS operated within the protection of FEMA firewalls. Now, selected NEMIS applications can be web-enabled, moved outside the firewalls, and protected with ACES and encryption.
The NEMIS implementation of ACES will begin with the Rapid Response Information System (RRIS), continue with the Response and Recovery Operations Planning (RROP) capability, and be followed by the Infrastructure (Public Assistance) web application. The Rapid Response Information System (RRIS) is a reference guide, training aid and overall planning and training resource for response to a chemical, biological, or nuclear incident. The RRIS is comprised of several databases, including information on the characteristics of chemical, biological agents, and radiological materials as well as first aid measures, federal response capabilities, hotlines, and other Federal information sources. The Response and Recovery Operations Planning (RROP) capability provides real-time disaster situation reports, "flash" news updates, emergency contact information, assessment maps, and reports. The Infrastructure (Public Assistance) web application will permit State and local governments to request federal assistance to repair their damaged facilities and infrastructure in national disasters as well as to track resulting project reviews, approvals, and grants. State and local governments also will have access to detailed and summary reports.
The digital signature certificates allow individuals access to these and other protected applications, but it does not allow them to update the information directly. FEMA plans to begin issuing ACES digital signature certificates and allowing access to the data bases August 15, 2000.
According to Bill Prusch, the NEMIS Project Officer, "The NEMIS Project has been instrumental in stimulating numerous improvements in the Agency's disaster business processes as well as its information systems architecture. The use of ACES to secure and extend NEMIS capabilities to federal, state and local agencies over the Internet may be one of its most significant improvements to the delivery of disaster assistance and to the Agency's information technology architecture to date."
The common public key infrastructure or "PKI" will allow the American public to electronically access their own privacy-protected information on U.S. government sites in addition to services over the Internet. ACES is intended to provide identification, authentication, and non-repudiation via the use of digital signature technology as a means for individuals and business entities to be authenticated when accessing, retrieving, and submitting information with the government. It is a key initiative in assisting the agencies' response to the Government Paperwork Elimination Act.
Under the half-million certificates task order, Digital Signature Trust of Salt Lake City, Utah will issue up to 400,000 certificates and AT&T will issue up to 100,000 over a one-year period. Both companies will act as Certificate Authorities for the certificates, which will be provided to requesting agencies free of issuance costs. These authorities, acting as neutral third parties, maintain the identity and public key information for each individual or business, enabling federal agencies to rely upon the authenticity of the certificates when interfacing with the public and the business sector.
For further information regarding FEMA's electronic applications, please contact Mary Margaret Walker at 202-646-3892 or e-mail at firstname.lastname@example.com. ACES inquiries should be forwarded to Helen Chapman at 202-205-9639, e-mail at firstname.lastname@example.com, or visit the ACES web-site at http://www.gsa.gov/aces.
