Tornados fall in five sets to the BearsSeptember 8, 2009
Seaman has 11 kills in the loss
Brevard, N.C. - The Tornados jumped out in front of the visiting Bears on Tuesday night, winning the first two sets, but Brevard was unable to weather a furious comeback in falling in five sets, 3-2.
With the 18-25, 21-25, 25-15, 25-16, 15-10 win, the Bears improve to 10-0, 1-0 in the South Atlantic Conference, while the Tornados fall to 4-2, 0-1 in SAC play.
Brooke Seaman led the way for the Tornados with 11 kills and six total blocks (five solo, one assist). Jordei Osby had seven kills, with five blocks (two solo, three assist) and Jamie Atkinson had six kills with seven blocks (three solo, four assist) as the Tornados dominated the net early in the game.
Bethany Stevenson added 33 set assists to go with 11 digs, as the Tornados backline stayed active throughout the night, with Rebecca Schoonover (14 digs), Chelsey Trojan (11 digs) and Cori Emory (10 digs) kept the ball in play multiple times for Coach Brenda Skeffington's team.
The Bears were led by Katelin Wensley with 10 kills and 13 digs. Kassi Henry added nine kills and seven blocks (three solo, four assists) and Meredith Lutz dished our 32 set assists for the match.
The first set remained close as the Tornados before preseason All-SAC first teamer Seaman knocked in the first of three straight kills to give the Tornados a 12-7 lead. After a pair of LR points, Chelsea Larsen drove home a kill as the Tornados went on a 5-1 run to expand their lead to 18-10, sparked by a service ace by Seaman.
The Bears continued to battle back, bringing the game back within five, but a kill by Ashlie Morrison and a service ace by Trojan ended game one in BC's favor.
In the second set, the teams again traded points, before another five kill spree broke the game open as a pair of kills by Atkinson, a kill by Morrison and a pair of Bear's attack errors gave Brevard a 21-15 lead.
From there, Jordei Osby took over, putting the ball home to notch the second game for the Tornados, 25-21.
Lenoir-Rhyne jumped out to a 9-1 lead at the start of the third set behind Chelsea Hill's serve and cruised to a 25-15 victory, sending the game into a fourth set.
Brevard came out firing in set four, going up 5-1 as the Bears registered four straight attack errors. From there, Lenoir-Rhyne went on a 17-4 run, going up 18-9 as Elizabeth Flattery and Katelin Wensley took over the game from a service stand-point.
The Tornados rallied back to put the game back within four as Osby hammered home a kill and Schoonover fired in an ace, but the early run by the Bears put the game out of reach, 25-16.
In the final set, Seaman attempted to will her team to victory, giving the Tornados an 8-6 lead as the teams switched side, by placing two service aces off the jump serve, but the Bears were able to pull the game out in the end, with the 15-10 victory.
The Tornados rest up for the rest of the week, before hosting the Brevard Tri-match with Converse and North Greenville on Saturday, September 12. First match between Brevard and Converse is set for 9 a.m. The Bears head to Gaffney, S.C. this weekend to take part in the Limestone Southeast Crossover Tournament. First match for Lenoir-Rhyne in the tournament is against Augusta State at 3 p.m.

The University is garnet, black, and green all over
Carolina's seven major academic initiatives will be celebrated during the week of each home football game this season. The seventh -- in the week leading up to the Carolina vs. Clemson game on Nov. 28 -- is the University's Impact on Sustainability.
As Gamecocks proudly don their garnet and black for the Carolina/Clemson rivalry game, there is a new Carolina color to be celebrated: green.
As a result of leadership, commitment, and student involvement, the University of South Carolina has emerged a leader in environmental sustainability. The University earned top green ratings from the Princeton Review and the College Sustainability Report Card this fall, placing the University among the most green universities and colleges in the Southeast.
Carolina has made major strides in sustainability in recent years. Under the leadership of President Harris Pastides, the University has strengthened its commitment and taken steps at every level of campus to create a community that is healthier and more engaged in environmental matters.
"Sustainability and support for environmental issues permeate all aspects of campus life, from the dining halls where we serve locally grown produce in biodegradable containers to the classrooms where our students are exposed to environmental topics in a variety of disciplines, to the residence halls where our students are encouraged to live in an environmentally-aware fashion," Pastides said. "Sustainability is part of the fabric of life here at Carolina."
Michael Koman, the University's director of sustainability, said Carolina has much to celebrate in the areas of green building, education, transportation, climate change, food, recycling, and energy efficiency.
Some examples of Carolina's green successes:
- Green (West) Quad and the new Honors Residence are excellent examples of green building. The soon-to-be-built Darla Moore School of Business facility is expected to set a new standard for green building in the region.
- Education extends beyond the classroom to include student eco-reps in the residence halls and a student body that is active in organizations and initiatives like Recyclemania.
- The use of bio-diesel and ethanol-fueled campus vehicles will expand to the entire fleet by 2015.
- An inventory of greenhouse gas emissions for the past five years and a climate action plan are setting climate change standards that are well ahead of the rest of South Carolina.
- The bi-monthly Healthy Carolina Farmers Market and the purchase of local produce for dining halls promotes good health, supports local farmers, and eliminates the greenhouse gas emissions and fuel use associated with the traditional trucking of food.
- Extensive recycling efforts include cardboard and other materials during campus move in and move out, construction waste, and 100 percent of recycling of electronics. Campus food composting will begin in 2010.
- The replacement of all traditional light bulbs with energy- and money-saving compact fluorescent bulbs and biomass energy production have made the University more energy efficient. Plans call for additional renewable energy sources such as solar to be incorporated across campus.
Koman says the interest and involvement of students are a driving force behind many of the University's sustainability efforts.

Mitigation – Prevents future emergencies and minimizes the effects of disaster.
Mitigation activities are designed to reduce or eliminate risks to persons or property or to lessen the actual or potential effects or consequences of an incident. Mitigation measures may be implemented prior to, during, or after an incident. Mitigation measures are often developed in accordance with lessons learned from prior incidents. Mitigation involves ongoing actions to reduce exposure to, probability of, or potential loss from hazards. Measures may include zoning and building codes, floodplain buyouts, and analysis of hazard-related data to determine where it is safe to build or locate temporary facilities. Mitigation can include efforts to educate governments, businesses, and the public on measures they can take to reduce loss and injury.
Preparedness – Planning to handle an emergency or disaster.
Preparedness involves a range of deliberate, critical tasks and activities necessary to build, sustain, and improve the operational capability to prevent, protect against, respond to, and recover from domestic incidents. Preparedness is a continuous process involving efforts at all levels of government and between government and private sector and nongovernmental organizations to identify threats, determine vulnerabilities, and identify required resources.
Response – Actions taken to save lives and protect properties.
Response activities address the short-term, direct effects of an incident. Response includes immediate actions to save lives, protect property, and meet basic human needs. Response also includes the execution of emergency operations plans and of incident mitigation activities designed to limit the loss of life, personal injury, property damage, and other unfavorable outcomes. As indicated by the situation, response activities include applying intelligence and other information to lessen the effects or consequences of an incident; increased security operations; continuing investigations into the nature and source of the threat; ongoing public health and agricultural surveillance and testing processes; immunizations, isolation, or quarantine; and specific law enforcement operations aimed at preempting, interdicting, or disrupting illegal activity, and apprehending actual perpetrators and bringing them to justice.
Recovery – Efforts initiated after an emergency to return the community to normal.
Recovery involves the development, coordination, and execution of service- and site-restoration plans for affected communities and the reconstitution of government operations and services through individual, private-sector, nongovernmental, and public assistance programs that identify needs and define resources; provide housing and promote restoration; address long-term care and treatment of affected persons; implement additional measures for community restoration; incorporate mitigation measures and techniques, as feasible; evaluate the incident to identify lessons learned; and develop initiatives to mitigate the effects of future incidents.

Pregnancy Loss
My sister had 4 pregnancies, the first one was successful, in fact her son is now 5 years old. However, the last 3 pregnancies were not successful. The 3 pregnancies were practically similar, the heartbeat of the fetus just stopped at around 2-3 months gestation. Has it something to do with her weight? cause she is somewhat overweight during the 3 unsuccessful pregnancies compared to the first one, she was really slim. Or something else might be causing it?
29th March 2014 07:03 AM #2
Dear chasermack,
I'm so sorry to hear of your sister's sad losses. My heart goes out to her and her family.
If a woman has 3 or more miscarriages in a row then it is known as a 'recurrent miscarriage'. Most women who suffer from this are then referred to a gynecologist to try to find out what may be causing the miscarriages. Has your sister undergone any testing to work out what the cause of her miscarriages may be?
For some women who have recurrent miscarriage; there is no cause found of this miscarriage. In a single miscarriage it is most often believed to be caused by a chromosome problem (for example, the wrong number of chromosomes in the embryo) which stop the embryo from developing further. Does your sister know if a heartbeat was found in her babies before she had the miscarriage (i,e, at a very early scan) or was no heartbeat ever found (in the later case a heartbeat may never have developed rather than the heartbeat stopping)?
Women aged over 35 are unfortunately more likely to have a miscarriage (because the quality of the eggs starts to rapidly decrease after this age). What age was your sister at her pregnancies? Being overweight can also make a miscarriage more likely and this may be linked to PCOS (polycystic ovary syndrome).
Other issues which may cause recurrent miscarriage include a problem with the uterus (which it is possible could have occurred after a previous successful pregnancy) and blood clotting disorders.
I look forward to hearing from you again so we can help you further with this.
My thoughts are with your sister.
Best wishes,

The New York Public Library has unveiled schematic designs by Foster + Partners for the library's 42nd Street location, after announcing the $300 million Central Library Plan in February, 2012. The Stephen A. Schwarzman Building, designed in 1911 by Carrère & Hastings, currently houses seven levels of library stacks, but the proposed renovations will restore the library's original lending capacity. Within the historic building, a new 100,000-square-foot circulation library, comprising four levels of reading areas and bookshelves, will overlook Bryant Park through full-height windows. The reference collection, meanwhile, will be relocated to a humidity-controlled storage facility beneath Bryant Park, with room for 3.3 million volumes.

Soccer teams connect with community through serviceApril 28, 2010
Brevard, N.C. - Brevard College soccer players and coaches gave back to the community as they gathered with Transylvania Youth Soccer Association (TYSA) for soccer practice on Friday, April 16 to run drills and work with over 50 players, ages 7-13 on their soccer skills.
TYSA Coach, Rob McNiel says the day was exceptional, "You cannot find folks more excited about soccer than these Brevard coaches and players."
This is the second time during the 2009-2010 school year that the Tornados worked with the youth in collaboration with TYSA in an effort to give back to the community.
McNiel was happy that his players have the opportunity to have a relationship with the collegiate student-athletes. "The kids had an opportunity to learn skills from the players who perform them at the highest level," he says. "Thanks to all of the BC players and coaches."
Parent, and member of the local TYSA board, Sammy Kicklighter, says the opportunities the TYSA players have with the Brevard College players are unique.
"Brevard Soccer is all about community," says Kicklighter. "Nowhere in America can you find a small four year college with as many local community connections as the Brevard Soccer Teams."
Kicklighter says he was impressed with the Brevard players' attitudes and willingness to volunteer their time on a Friday when most students are leaving for the weekend.
"Coach Mascaro is to be commended for his great leadership in assembling these students," Kicklighters also adds. "One day when they graduate from BC, they will remember that community involvement is key."
The following weekend, many of the Tornados volunteered time to work on the ongoing improvements to the soccer field at the City of Brevard's sports complex on Ecusta Road, that TYSA, in addition to the community will have the opportunity to use.
"This was awesome to see, once again, the community in the minds of this team," said Kicklighter.
The Tornados joined a group of approximately 65 people who participated in building the dugouts and preparing the field for seeding. By volunteering, the Tornado soccer teams connected with volunteers from not only TYSA, but also the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Destiny Christian Fellowship, Brevard Community Church, and other interested individuals.

CHINO HILLS - Southern California Edison indicated on Tuesday that placing new high voltage power lines underground, instead of above ground through Chino Hills, would mean abandoning $16 million already spent on construction costs, and an additional $2 million to remove towers that have already been constructed in the past year.
Total estimated costs for each of the five proposed underground transmission configurations for the Chino Hills segment of the Tehachapi Renewable Transmission Project range from about $486 million to $807 million, according to an Edison document. The costs are preliminary and subject to change, but they're considerably higher than the original $172 million cost for constructing the above-ground transmission line segment through Chino Hills.
The statement is part of testimony ordered by the California Public Utility Commission to investigate alternatives to the line after the city of Chino Hills filed a petition against the above ground project last year. The commission deadline for the commission to receive the testimony is today. The commission is expected to make a decision on whether to underground the transmission lines on July 11, 2013.
Despite Edison having started construction work on towers for the Chino Hills segment of the Tehachapi Renewable Transmission Project, the California Public Utilities Commission voted last year to require the power company to submit testimony regarding the cost of under-grounding the lines.
The city and some residents have called for an alternate route around the city, or underground along the easement, citing concerns over aesthetic degradation, decreased home values and safety.

July 12, 2013
Nurse practitioner
positions are expected to be stable or growing
job positions
in the next 10 years. With the right training and a solid job offer, the nurse practitioner field can be quite lucrative—but the numbers can also vary widely from state to state.
What Is a Nurse Practitioner?
A nurse practitioner is a highly trained
registered nurse
with the expert skills and knowledge to work at the top of the nursing field. Many nurse practitioners see and screen patients for general practice physicians, managing caseloads to free the doctor's time for patients with the most serious, unusual, or complex circumstances. According to the
International Council of Nurses
, a nurse practitioner has achieved advanced education, specific licensing requirements, and the complex decision-making skills necessary for expanded practice.
National Nurse Practitioner Statistics
Nurse practitioners are categorized with registered nurses for most national
Bureau of Labor Statistics
summaries. Nationally, the median annual wage for registered nurses is $64,690. Employment of registered nurses is expected to grow drastically—by 26 percent between 2010 and 2020. Nurse practitioners will usually make more than the median wage for all registered nurses, since they tend to be more highly trained and have longer professional experience histories than most registered nurses.
Top States for Nurse Practitioners
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics'
Occupational Employment and Wages
for May 2012, the
states that employ the most nurse practitioners
California, with a mean annual wage of $98,970
New York, with a mean annual wage of $97,730
Florida, with a mean annual wage of $86,840
Texas, with a mean annual wage of $97,710
Massachusetts, with a mean annual wage of $102,340
The five states with the
highest concentration of jobs
for nurse practitioners are:
Mississippi, with a mean annual wage of $91940
Maine, with a mean annual wage of $87060
Tennessee, with a mean annual wage $of 88720
Utah, with a mean annual wage of$83,880
Massachusetts, with a mean annual wage of $102, 340
The states that
pay the highest
by annual mean wage are:
Alaska, with a mean annual wage of $112,090
Hawaii, with a mean annual wage of $104,690
Oregon, with a mean annual wage of $103,280
Massachusetts, with a mean annual wage of $102,340
New Jersey, with a mean annual wage of $101,030
ranks on all three Top 5 lists and may be one of the best places for
job seekers
in the nurse practitioner field in coming years.
Salary By State

West Virginia: $96,000; 1 percent lower.
Wisconsin: $85,000; 12 percent lower.
Wyoming: $89,000; 8 percent lower.
Nurse practitioners are some of the most sought-after and highly paid registered nurses in the medical profession. As a nurse practitioner seeking a new position, remember to consider cost of living as you assess each state's pay scale. A nurse practitioner's salary of $92,000 may go farther in Tennessee than $112,000 does in the Virgin Islands. Factor in cost of food, housing, and lifestyle as you make your choices when applying for new positions.

As a person with diabetes, do I need to worry about fiber and if so, how much should I get each day?
Thanks for your help - Tom S.
Fiber is a complex carbohydrate. It is found in vegetables, fruit, whole grains, nuts, seeds and legumes.
There are 2 kinds of fiber: soluble and insoluble. Soluble fiber is found in oats, beans, fruits, vegetables and psyllium (for example, Metamucil). Insoluble fiber is found mainly in whole grains and wheat bran as well as in nuts, fruits, vegetables and legumes.
Most people do not get enough fiber in their diets. The American Heart Association recommends increasing dietary fiber to help control both blood glucose levels and improve the lipid profile (cholesterol levels) of people with diabetes.
Studies are inconclusive about how much fiber is needed to improve blood sugar control. However, a large study in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition showed that fewer women got diabetes if they followed a high fiber diet. Additionally, populations with a high rate of diabetes tend to eat a diet that is low in fiber. In the Nurses Health Study and the Iowa Health Study higher intakes of fiber showed significant decreases in the rates of type 2 diabetes.
To increase your intake of fiber:
Water helps to digest fiber. Increase fiber intake gradually and drink more water to avoid discomfort.
For a more complete list of fiber sources, check out our calorie and fiber charts.

Gee, Lady Gaga sure is kooky, isn't she? Naturally you'd expect that once she hit it big, she'd buy all sorts of kooky things. And guess what? She has! If you're planning on being Gaga for Halloween, you might want to consider getting one or two of these items yourself; that will REALLY show your dedication to all things Gaga. Exactly what sorts of things is the "Born This Way" singer fond of spending her dough on? Let's take a look:
1) Diamond Teeth
This is Gaga's latest acquisition: Diamond teeth implants for Paris Fashion Week. According to CelebDirtyLaundry, she had them in place in time for Thierry Mugler's show. No word yet on how many she had done, but the diamonds themselves are marquise diamonds. Talk about a winning smile!
2) Little Monsters Tattoo
Lady Gaga has quite a collection of tattoos, but her most notable is arguably her "little monsters" tattoo. A tribute to her fans, whom she calls (you guessed it) "little monsters," the tattoo graces her microphone arm. It seems not unlike getting your significant other's name tattooed on yourself; hopefully there won't be any messy breakups here.
3) Ghost-Detecting Gear
A firm believer in ghosts, Gaga has reportedly dropped $50,000 on electromagnetic field equipment and other ghost-detecting gear. She's got bodyguards to protect her physical being, but she wants to make sure she's got her spiritual being covered, too. Just in case.
4) A Heart Valve for Her Dad
She got it for him as an anniversary present. Because nothing says "Happy Anniversary, Dad" like a new heart valve.
5) Her Own CDs
It's true: Last October, Gaga purchased seven of her early works—which, notably, she released under her given name, Stefani Germanotta—at an auction. Among the items she purchased were her unreleased demo CD from 2002, a 2005 self-titled CD, a second 2005 CD titled Stefani Germanotta Band, and her original 2006 OSIA showcase performance DVD. Never underestimate the worth of your own archives.
More wacky purchases, including McDonald's for her fans and the Virgin Mary, up next!

Syndy - from Bloomington, IN
There are many possible reasons for white spots in icing. First, some ingredients may not be incorporated well, try sifting any meringue powder. Also, if the spots can be removed, they may be small pieces of shortening that have not been fully incorporated into your icing or pieces of hardened sugar. You may try creaming the shortening and butter separately before combining them with the sugar. The last and most common cause may be hard water. The high mineral content of hard water does not handle icing colors as well, resulting in spots. To combat this, you can use distilled or bottled water when making your icing.

Obama has got jokes! The President clowns during correspondents' dinner
On Saturday night, Hollywood A-listers and Washington notables gathered for the annual White House Correspondents' Dinner in DC. Though recently touted as "nerd prom," the affair has become a yearly excuse for the press to poke fun at Washington, for Washington to poke fun at the press and for everyone to poke fun at Joe Biden.
The event also offers the president an opportunity to show off his comedy chops, and for the second year in a row, President Obama did not disappoint. He fired off jabs at everyone and everything from CNN to Taylor Swift to George W. Bush's new presidential library.
And, proving himself to be the hippest commander in chief ever, he even snuck in references to Jay-Z lyrics and walked up to the podium with his new anthem blaring over the speakers "All I Do Is Win." And as any good comedian does, he also worked in a few quips at his own expense. "These days, I look in the mirror and I have to admit," he said, "I'm not the strapping young Muslim socialist I used to be."
Watch President Obama in action!

The Northwestern Oklahoma State University baseball team donated time for volunteer work at the Bill Johnson Correctional Center (BJCC) on Tuesday and Wednesday of last week. On September 22-23, the Northwestern baseball team was extremely helpful in helping attach roof trusses and deck the roof.
"The support and generosity from the Chapel Coalition Committee and volunteers has been tremendous," stated Jason Bryant, BJCC Program Director. "BJCC is very grateful for all the time that has been donated in making this very needed project a success. Coach Bay, his coaches, and his baseball team worked extremely hard last week in completing the huge task of assisting in constructing the roof of the new building."
Fifteen years ago, community leaders and businesses of Alva partnered with the Oklahoma Department of Corrections (DOC) to develop a corrections facility targeting the rehabilitation of drug-related offenders. In September 1995, the Bill Johnson Correctional Center (BJCC) opened with a 300 bed capacity for minimum security offenders. Since then BJCC has seen the offender population increase to 444 in 2008, 550 in 2010, and an anticipated increase to 780 by 2011. Due to the offender growth in population, BJCC has had to convert dedicated program and religious space into offender housing.
The initial group of community leaders and businesses that partnered with DOC recognized that to accomplish the goal of reducing recidivism of the drug offender, the need for dedicated program and religious space became urgent. These community leaders and DOC partnered with World Mission Builders, an organization providing volunteer construction of churches around the world. With this partnership, BJCC is now constructing a 6,000 square foot Chapel and Visitor Center built to utilize for religious and educational classes.
Many volunteers from many different states have joined the work team in erecting the new BJCC Chapel.
MISSION STATEMENT: Northwestern Oklahoma State University provides quality educational and cultural opportunities to learners with diverse needs by cultivating ethical leadership and service, critical thinking and fiscal responsibility.

The entire list
Ekin TV, January 12, 2009
Adnan Oktar: There is a master of everything, right? For example, there is a specialist mixing the dough and there is the hammersmith for iron. There is a master of leadership. This is the Turkish people. Turkey is the leader country in the Turkish-Islamic world. And the leader always has to take up his position openly. If there is a search for a leader, then this is a mischief and leads to conflict. However the leader is apparent and out in the open and this is Turkey's right. We also have the Holy relics. We also have the experience. Praise be to Allah, we have a very large crew of very god-fearing and educated intellectuals . We are a very reasonable nation. We are a conservative, merciful, compassionate, enduring nation, and we enjoy service and people's happiness. If you pay attention, whereever we go, we strive for peace and reunification. They call us wherever we go and ask for peacemaking. For instance, Israel calls us, Syria comes and calls us, Algeria comes and calls us. Why do they call us? Because they know that we are the natural leader. Of course then we will say that Turkey should lead the head. Turkey should be the leader. Turkic states are one nation that has been artificially divided. WE ARE ONE FAMILY, AND THIS IS OUR FAMILY JOB. We do something about it as a family, we do something about the Turkish-Islamic Union. Of course, we will unite with the Turkish world, with our brothers, with our family, and embrace our family in this grand Islamic world and protect them. I mean, with whom are we going to do this? There is a strong, healthy, sincere, open hearted, brave and devoted nation who is seeking service. We are servants, we are serving. We are going to be servants. Servants of Islamic world. That's all, we do not claim that we have some superiorities in our genetic structure or that we are superior in blood or in race. We do believe that Allah has created everyone in equal. But we are an agreeable nation in the sense of morality, fear of Allah, leadership and good morals. This has already been witnessed. It is false to deny this. This is what the eyes see, even a child can see. And this is not what we say, but what the Islamic world has been saying. This is what the Turkish world has been saying. They say "come and become the leader". We did not show up on our own. They say it themselves. We have the heritage. We are the heir of the Ottomans, we are their descendants. Therefore, we will try to do this beautiful duty. And when we didn't do this, people suffered. The whole Turkish world suffered, the Islamic world suffered. And they are stil sufferring, they are all wretched and calling for help. It is an obligation to help the one calling for help. Come, let's get united and let's save them at once.
Timeturk, August 06, 2010
Davutoglu Sets Goals of The Turkish World
With these words, Davutoglu answered the question of a journalist asking "There has been a great collaboration with the countries in the Turkish world recently. Is this collaboration going to be institutionalized in the following days?" as follows:
"The preparatory work of institutionalization has started last year after the Nakhchivan Summit. InshaAllah, in this year's summit, Secretariat of the Council of the Turkish World will be constituted permanently in Istanbul… When the secreteriat is constituted, there will be a unity in deeds as well as the unity in religion, language and culture. And inshaAllah, there will be a cooperation in all these issues as a single voice. If Kyrgyzstan has a problem, it is not Kyrgyzstan's but Turkey's problem, Azerbaijan's problem, Khazakstan's problem." said Davutoglu, and he went on his words as such:
"The dignity of Azerbaijan is the dignity and success of all countries sharing the common culture such as Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan. Their success is our success. Their problem is our problem. We consider themselves strong when Azerbaijan gains strength. From the Mountains of God to the Mountains of Bey until Taurus Mountains, we share the same geography and breathe in the same place. And it will become more institutionalized inshaAllah".
Davutoglu also answered the questio "is there any particular reason for you to prefer Bodrum for the meeting?" and said "We are together in every official meeting. We wanted to get out of this atmosphere and chat with families and talk. We are one big family. We are family from the Mountains of God to the Balkans. InshaAllah, from now on, we may also have meeting in different locations".

'"In the first period it was a really tight game," Alfredsson said. "They played a hard game last night. We scored a goal with less than a second left that kind of takes the air out of them a bit and gave us momentum. We got off to a great start in the second and finished off the game."'

Pure Country Christmas Farmhouse
Turns out not everything is bigger in Texas—at this Fayetteville farmhouse, a graphic designer with a passion for collecting packs a ton of charm into less than 2,000 square feet.
This Central Texas home still holds the charm of the country after a few fabulous additions from owner and designer Ashley Putman and her husband Steve. The Putman's brought the original charm of the home to life, incorporating rustic elements by uncovering shiplap walls and creating a cozy, "cave-like" study.
For the Christmas season, Ashley created a space that pulls in her home's unique farmhouse charm while adding a touch of holiday spirit with complementary country Christmas decorations. Throughout her home, we see that subtle country Christmas decorations can go a long way in a farmhouse with so much character. Decorative holiday wreaths, a rolling bar cart all set for holiday entertaining, and handcrafted, burlap Christmas stockings are just a few of the country Christmas décor elements we're lusting over in Ashley's holiday home. Take a look, and we know you'll agree this home displays a country Christmas in the most charming light.

'Ruff must also be worried about his team's playoff chances. Last season, the Sabres had an identical 18-19-5 record after game No. 42 and then with new owner Terry Pegula aboard they went on a terrific 25-10-5 run to make the post-season. But there are no signs that the Sabres are about to turn it around like they did last year.'

Ah yes. And there once was a thousand rumors that this year's iPhone would have a radically new design......and everybody gobbled it up and wet their pants over it......but we all know how that turned out.
2012 - iPhone 5/6.....new design....NO LTE.
2013 - iPhone 5S/6S......no new design......LTE implemented.
Sorry folks that's just the way it is. And the same people that are gonna tell me I'm wrong are probably the same people who told me I was wrong about saying this year's phone wouldn't feature a new design.
I don`t care if it`s 4G or 15G. Without bigger screen I`m done with iPhones. Seriously Apple, wake up and make more models, it`s not that hard.My next communication device would be Samsung Note.
1) AT&T already has an LTE market up, albeit a small one. It's not a leap to say they're "expected" to join a market that they had every intention of joining in the first place.
2) Regarding iPhone LTE compatibility: it will depend on the rest of the world. The US is not the end all, be all of the cell phone world. If there are large LTE markets out there, then there will be a fair chance of the iPhone supporting it (50/50). If Verizon and AT&T are it (I don't know how other carriers are doing in rolling out their LTE network), I severely doubt it will have LTE in it.
3) The board that certifies wireless speeds (ITU-R) has already determined LTE is not 4G. It's faster than what we have, but it's not 4G.
I do need a bigger screen, me and another few million people who switched to Android just for bigger screen.
I don`t like Ipad - too big to be mobile, too limited to be a real computer. 5" "phone" and macbook air is perfect combination for me.
Nothing is definite. I knew that Sprint was rolling out an LTE network after they failed to get anyone else (in the world) to buy into WiMAX, but 2 CDMA providers are hardly a drop in the global bucket. I did say, however, that I didn't know what the status was of LTE roll outs in carriers in the rest of the world.
Here's what they ought to do, Put LTE in the next revision of the iPhone but also figure out how to have HSPA+ in there too. That way people who have AT&T, like me and won't have LTE for probably a long time, can still get 3.5G speeds. I myself am switching to Android cause I am tired of having to JB my phone to do what I want to it, but that is another thread.If they could some how figure out LTE & HSPA+ in the same phone that would work great.
Anywho, didn't we expect Apple to join the LTE race in 2011 with iPhone 4S?
To be perfectly honest, Apple should only bother adding support for LTE only when it's widely available worldwide. Whether that'll happen by mid-late 2012 remains to be seen. But every other phone and its mother will support LTE regardless of the network's ability to give you a speed greater than a few MBps. I'd sad that people will be in awe that their phone supports LTE but their actual data speeds won't exceed that of 3G and their carriers will still have tiny download limits.
LTE is the way forward - but we wont be getting it here in the UK until 2013 at the earliest.I'm skipping the 4S but will probably end up getting the next iPhone (so long as it doesn't have a bigger screen) as Apple are still way ahead of the competition and every other model has enough improvements to make it worth while.I will check out the competition but can't see anything on the horizon that is likely to make me jump ship - but who knows what will happen between now and then?
3g really is fast enough for me. I do not need LTE. I might consider it if I tethered and played MMOs on it (for the better latency LTE provides, not the speed), but I am on the unlimited plan and thus don't tether. If it comes, it comes. If not, I will be just as ok with it.
Since when does the HTC Evo 4g have LTE? Didn't he say Sprint Currently runs a Wi-Max 4g Network.
You see! This is why I'm not going to waste my eligibility upgrade on the iPhone 4s and I'm going for the new iPhone model next year

Totally transforms your make-up applic.
By Carol the perfectionist
from B.C. Canada
Makes for the best make-up application ever, especially in the drabby wintertime, when the days are darker, this mirror will light up your face and your spirits, making your make-up the perfect shade when applied. You won't go out looking like you "o'd". I received a different make-up mirror from my husband for Christmas I just couldn't adjust to the dull light, when this arrived I showed my husband the two of them on at the same time, he was totally convinced as I am, this make-up mirror is far superior, and it was the same price as the other. I love this mirror, the light is perfect for seeing things as they really are when you go outside, which is important to me I don't want the old granny dark pink swipe of blush, won't happen with this mirror.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Excellent lighting
By Steph
from Alberta, Canada
I was surprised by the size. Was there a description of the size/measurements? How did I miss it?I live in a small condo and there is very little counter space in the bathroom.I love the light - it is extremely bright and the "10X" side sees more than I wish to! I just wish it was a bit smaller so it would fit on my counter better.

Bright light!
By Finally can see!
from Alabama
I am completely satisfied with this mirror. It is great for applying makeup. The light is a bright white. I looked for weeks trying to find a bright enough light that wasn't yellow or dingy looking and this is perfect. It is a bit big and I don't really like that white base. I would have preferred a stainless steel but I am completely satisfied!

You will never have any imperfections showing again
By Lou
from Ontario Canada
When my daughter came home for a visit she used this mirror. She has very bad eyesight and prior to using this mirror, she had to try to pluck with her glasses on. She absolutely loved that she could see everything on her face IN VERY GREAT DETAIL. I sent her one for Christmas and she says she has a love hate relationship with the mirror. She loves that she can see any Imperfections she can correct or cover, and she hates that it shows absolutely every imperfection.
Mirror is as advertised. Very Pleased.
By Rana
from Arkansas
Mirror is simple to use. Very clear

I do like this mirror & would buy again.
By Nanaof3boys
from White Bluff, TN
I purchased online and the magnifier side has a crack across the whol mirror. Disappointed with that and too much trouble to send back for a replacement, especially when you've tossed all packing materials to supposedly protect it from shipment in process????

Love the brightness and flexibility
By Kim
from Woodstock, GA
Wanted a bright light for my dimly lit bathroom and was willing to pay for it. This light gives off a great amount of light and is easy to use thanks to the flexible neck. My only negative is that to see clearly in the 10x side, you have to be very close and centered in the mirror. Great for plucking eyebrows but causes some dizziness if I look into too long. Would be better for doing eye makeup or other detail work if it was maybe 5x and flatter.
This mirror is fantastic

Is it the new server or lack of interest in the Reds at this point in the season?
Hopefully, it is mostly the new server/host.

I'm not sure what would be preventing you from being able to access the site, but I haven't had any problems. With regards to the first post, it does "seem" faster to me since the hosting switch, so I'm glad someone else has noticed that, too.
I wonder if it is a difference with having "ads" and not have "ads"? Could ads cause any slowdown?

A man who allegedly barricaded himself with a gun inside a Kearns home with his wife and baby was taken into custody Friday afternoon after a three-hour standoff with police. The Unified Police Department reported that no one was injured.
Unified Police Lt. Justin Hoyal said that officers were called to 5294 S. Heath Ave. (5030 West) in Kearns at about 11:45 a.m. on Friday. Hoyal said negotiators were in contact with the man, who holed up in the residence with his wife and their 4-month-old baby and had made threats of "harming himself and others."
A SWAT team made up of about 40 officers from the Unified Police Department and Unified Fire Authority was on the scene while the nearby Western Hills Elementary School was put under a lockdown until the end of the school day.
Granite School District Spokesman Ben Horsley said the school was put on a "soft" lockdown, meaning that students were let out at the regular time at 1:05 p.m. Friday but that they had to be picked up by a parent or designated emergency contact. Horsley said there was no direct threat to the school and that the lockdown was "simply a precautionary measure."
Horsley said the incident happened a few houses down from the school.

If you don't know who he is, here is some of his music to check out:
UStream Performance 2010 (GOOD QUALITY!)
Cover of Blew by Nirvana - Acoustic and LIVE!
Girls, Be Ambitious (Music Video)
Senor Senora Senorita (Music Video)
He was also in the band Dué le Quartz before they broke up in 2002. Just as a guitar player though, not as a singer.
Their last performance... HE CRYS! SO SAD!
Anyways, I was wondering if anyone else would like to see him?

By Theresa Goffredo Herald Writer
The Everett Bartell Drugs on Broadway can serve all your pharmacy needs. You can come in for a bar of soap, a bar of chocolate or a couple bars of Motown.
Yes. You can come in and listen to Stacy Smith or, as everyone knows her, "the singing pharmacist," belt out some of the best Motown hits.
At this point, though, Smith would have to make a correction. She will tell you she's actually a pharmacist's assistant, but her fans don't care about such distinctions.
All they know is that voice.
"When she sings that gospel stuff it's real soulful," longtime Bartells customer Melissa Reginelli said. "It pushes your buttons."
Smith does sing gospel, but she's a rhythm and blues fan and loves Motown best of all. But Smith will sing whatever and generally whenever any customer asks her to.
"People will say, 'Give me that song,' and it's something I like to do because they want that and it makes me feel good to do that for them," Smith said.
"It just cracks me up but I just do it, and it seems to be kind a like a tradition and they won't let me stop."
Smith has been singing all her life. She brought her powerful alto voice to Bartell Drugs 11 years ago and hasn't stopped singing, creating an unexpected franchise that keeps customers coming back, like groupies.
"It seems the world is so small. I see customers I've helped for years," Smith said during a break in her shift. "Now that I'm in the pharmacy years later, I've met some of their children."
Smith started at Bartells on a whim, really.
Originally from Illinois, Smith spent 17 years in California before family members in Everett persuaded her to move north to raise her daughter. Smith's girl, Astacia, was about 5 weeks old when Smith, who lives in north Everett, decided to just pop into the Bartells on Broadway and ask about a job.
The manager told her to come back in a couple of days and bring her identification. Smith was hired and worked on the floor stocking shelves and as a cashier.
"I am always singing," Smith said. "When I was on the floor, you know, when you are putting stock out, I'm singing and people would come in and say, 'Oh, it's you.' "
It didn't occur to Smith that people actually thought she was singing to them. Until one day, she was singing a love ballad and a male customer heard her and thought she was singing to him.
"He said, 'Oh, wow,' and I realized I never thought about it like that," Smith said, laughing about the memory. "I thought I better be careful about what I'm singing."
Smith has sung in choirs all her life, from kindergarten through her senior year. She's sung in church groups and school groups and entered a lot of contests. She also did a year of professional vocal training.
She's sung as a guest performer for a number of bands. And she does karaoke every now and then.
"At karaoke, they will say, 'Can you do, "Midnight Train to Georgia," ' and I say, 'Now that I've gotten a little loose, maybe,"' Smith said.
She said she doesn't sing at church now, but lots of people have invited her to sing at theirs.
"I never promise because I never know," Smith said.
Smith said people wouldn't think of her as shy, but she said she has her moments and even admits that all this attention gets embarrassing at Bartells, and she has to ask the customer for a rain check.
She's flattered when people praise her singing ability.
One such person is customer Reginelli, who has told Smith she wants to be her manager and that Smith needs to go to Nashville and make records.
"What Stacy is, is just …" she trails off. "It's a voice."
Smith is humbled by such praise.
"You hear sometimes people say, 'I wonder what people will say about me when I'm gone,' and I already know," Smith said. "I feel so good that I'm hearing these things while I'm alive and I'm saying, 'God, you are good.'
"It makes me feel really wonderful these people care so much. I've cried with some of them and I've laughed with many of them, and I don't know, I'm just a people's person. I care about a lot of people."
Smith not only shares her music with customers, but also her philosophy as a people's person. She tells seniors that it's good they are moving slow.
"We move too fast today," she said. "Slow it down and let somebody learn something from you."
She seems to always have a smile for everyone and spins lots of homilies along with melodies.
Smith likes to take it with a grain of salt and hope for the best. And stay positive because you never know what door is going to be open.
In terms of her age, Smith never reveals it, saying, "I'm young enough to keep going and old enough to know better not to do whatever mamma said no to," and bursting into laughter.
"You leave something for yourself and it keeps people guessing," Smith said. "Sometimes I give the kind of answers that that's all they're able to do. A lot of people say they like my philosophy and I just say what's on my mind."
Customers often share with Smith that they think she should go somewhere and do something, "and then they look at me and say, 'No, we like you better at home.' "
Smith likes it here, as well, suddenly bursting out this soulful refrain with her powerful pipes:
"This is my song. I want everybody to know I'm home," Smith sang, "And I feel good."

Personally, I can eat it, I can eat a whole bowl of it if I need to but I dont really go to far out of my way to eat it. Might I order it as a side? Occasionally, yes. Takoyaki is also quite good when made right. NATO has its own cuisine? Christ, it's bad enough that they've got their own black heli units.

Brevard, N.C. - The Brevard College men's soccer team has earned a historic berth in program history, making it to the NCAA postseason by achieving a berth in the 2010 Food Lion South Atlantic Conference men's soccer tournament.
The Tornados achieved their position in the tournament by virtue of a pair of victories on the BC Soccer Field on September 28th against conference opponent Tusculum College and on October 23rd against Newberry College.
In the match against Tusculum, Renato Barbosa put Brevard on the board early, scoring in the eighth minute of play for his first goal of the season. Tusculum rallied back to go up 2-1, but the Tornados tied it up just before half time as Andrew Gallowitch found the net for his first collegiate goal of his career off the rebound of Jami Uuttu's shot.
In the second half, Gallowitch struck again, this time sliding into the box to kick the ball past the keeper off the assist from Jaime Villacis to give the Tornados the 3-2 lead, but Tusculum would tie it up again in the 60th minute of this hard-fought match.
Gallowitch would strike again, completing his first career hat-trick at Brevard, taking the rebound off of Villacis' shot attempt and placing it by the keeper into the back of the net in the 79th minute to give the Tornados the 4-3 win.
Needing one more conference victory on the year to clinch the postseason berth, the Tornados welcomed the Newberry College Wolves to the BC Soccer Field on October 23rd.
The Wolves struck first in the first four minutes of play to go up 1-0, but the Tornados responded as senior Henri Erti's shot from outside the box deflected off a Newberry defender into the net in the 25th minute to tie up the match at 1.
The score remained tied heading into the half, but the Tornados struck quickly, finding twine just six minutes into the period as Villacis took the pass from Scott Schuurman, beating the Newberry keeper to put the Tornados up 2-1.
Jack Shaw and Pauli Jussila took the net for the Tornados in the match and sealed the victory for Brevard, earning the berth for the Tornados.
Gallowitch finished the regular season as the Brevard leader with four goals on the season, while Villacis, Uuttu and Sean Allison all had two goals on the year. Villacis is probably the most versatile offensive threat on the Brevard team as the freshman added six assists to his totals on the year to lead Brevard with 10 total points on the season and led the team with 45 shots on the year.
In goal, the dynamic duo of Shaw and Jussila recorded all but one of the starts in goal on the season and had all three victories for the Tornados on the season and will be expected to patrol the net again during the Brevard playoff run.
Their opponent for the first round will be tough, as they draw the #1-seed in the tournament in Wingate University. The Bulldogs defeated the Tornados earlier this season in Brevard, N.C. on October 9th, 6-1, scoring four goals in the first half on their way to the win, but the Bulldogs will be facing a different Tornados teams than earlier this season as Brevard has won two of their past four matches and will be ready to perform on the higher stage.
Kickoff for the quarterfinal match between the Tornados and the Bulldogs is set for 7 p.m. on Wednesday, November 3rd, in Wingate, N.C. at Wingate University.
Quarterfinal winners advance to the tournament semifinals, which will be held at Manchester Meadows Soccer Complex in Rock Hill, S.C. on Friday, November 5. The two men's semifinals will be played at 6 p.m.
The men's tournament championship will be Sunday, November 7 at 4 p.m. at Manchester Meadows Soccer Complex. The championship match will be videostreamed live over the Internet.
