General Information
Brucellosis or "Bangs Disease" is a contagious disease of cattle caused by the gram negative bacterium Brucella abortus. The disease in animals is characterized by abortion, retained placenta and to a lesser extent, orchitis and infection of the accessory sex glands in males. Brucellosis primarily affects cattle, buffalo, bison, pigs, sheep, goats, dogs, elk and occasionally horses. The disease in man is called Undulant Fever.
Control and elimination of this disease in cattle involves testing and culling reactors and vaccinating healthy females.
Brucella Abortus Vaccine, Strain RB-51, Live Culture, Code 1261.00 was first licensed in 1996. It has been used exclusively since than as part of the federal program to eradicate brucellosis from the United States because it is safe, effective and does not interfere with diagnostic testing for infection.
Brucella Abortus Vaccine, RB-51, is the result of research, development and production efforts by both the public and private sectors. It was selected as a stable strain which produces protective immunity while not inducing antibodies which react in standard serological tests. RB-51 has been tested to verify safety, efficacy and to demonstrate that there is no serological reaction in standard tests.

In Hawaii, this simply means taking the time to chat with people.We invite you to "talk story" with us and share your Maui memories.
Share Your Experience With Us
"With the magnificent Pacific views and elegant Maui condos along the beach, our stay here was magical."
"Perfect Getaway!"
My family stayed here for 2 weeks in June and just loved it! The place was clean, airy, and had a wonderful view. As a matter of fact, the pictures of the view don't do it justice! I spent almost every afternoon watching the sunset from the patio and it NEVER got old.
My in-laws joined us for the first week (bringing the occupancy up to 6) and it never seemed crowded. The description is very accurate and all the amenities were in good working order. The kitchen was well equipped, modern, and clean. The big screen TV was nice in the evenings to relax and let the kids watch a movie. The wi-fi was also nice when we needed to connect with the outside world now and then. The air conditioning worked well, but we often preferred to open the windows and just let the tropical breeze gently blow through the place. The beach and pool down below were perfect for spending the day, and the kids really liked going back and forth from the pool to the ocean (only about ten steps away). The sand at the beach was "sugar smooth" and we always felt safe in the area. The owners were always available to answer questions and seemed genuinely interested in making our stay a memorable one. The place is only about 15 minutes away from Makena beach (one of our favorites), and was also close to great restaurants like the Monkey Pod. I can't think of a better place to spend time on Maui!

The new iPhone is 3G–but AT&T's 3G network isn't exactly "nationwide," so you might want to check the coverage map to make sure that there's a 3G network in your area.
For example, Des Moines, Iowa is big enough to have an Apple store — but there's no 3G coverage yet. (If you're wondering what 3G is, you can click here.) Without 3G coverage the new iPhone will use the more widespread EDGE network, and you won't see an improvement in speed.

San Francisco (CA) - We had the opportunity to get an unvarnished look at the process behind Wii Fit and the unique Wii Balance Board controller.
GDC 2008 H.264 video of Mark Raby trying the Wii Fit
It was announced at this week's Game Developer's Conference that Wii Fit will reach US store shelves on May 19. At that time American consumers will be able to experience the unique Wii experience more than four years in the making.
We spent an hour with Takao Sawano, the deputy general manager of entertainment analysis and development at Nintendo, during which time we learned everything from Shigeru Miyamoto's original concept of Wii Fit before the console was even launched to the final product.
Like most video game projects, Wii Fit started off at humble beginnings. Shigeru Miyamoto, the famed man behind Mario and Zelda, actually had designs on a "health pack" for the Wii long before we ever saw the console on store shelves.
The very first concept was a simple scale that would track users' weights over a period of time. The idea struck Miyamoto because he personally enjoyed weighing himself on the bathroom scale and tracking the direction it went.
This isn't unusual for the Japanese genius. His blockbuster creations that became Pikmin and Nintendogs were based on his love of gardening and dogs, respectively.
The idea was constantly struck down, however, because it seemed like a cumbersome process to turn on the TV and Wii, and connect a special controller just to weigh yourself. After all, everyone already has a hassle-free scale in their bathroom, right?
However, Sawano brought back the concept when he came up with the idea of using two separate scales to not only allow a higher weight capacity but also be useful for other features, such as determining balance and center of gravity.
Now that a more solid concept was in place, Sawano and his team needed to work on making a cost-effective controller. One of the more creative ideas they came up with was to use a part of the Nintendo 64 controller. The "rotary encoder" used to power the N64's joystick controls could in fact be used to help measure the weight on something.
There was actually talk of implementing a rumble control feature as well, but Nintendo soon realized it would take way too much power to create a vibration strong enough to actually make the user notice it.
The original prototypes essentially used two modified bathroom scales, not physically connected in any way. Obviously that wouldn't work on a wide scale for a number of reasons. The next prototypes were circular in design, as opposed to the rectangular model that ended up as the final version.
At this stage in the product's development, the idea was to only sense pressure on the left and right side of the board. Prototypes in this stage looked kind of like huge rolls of Camembert cheese.
Eventually, Sawao was able to convince the Nintendo software developers to include front and back motion sensing as well as just left and right. This led to the creation of a square Balance Board, which was more amenable to multi-directional support.
As things began to come together, Nintendo brought in professional fitness trainers to test it out. The big takeaway the company got from this is that having a square design did not allow enough room between feet. Thus, one other design change was to make it a wider, more rectangular device.
That wasn't the last change, though. Throughout most of the design process, the idea was to make the Balance Board as a Wii Remote extension, meaning users would need to connect the Remote to the Balance Board. Thus came the last adjustment to the controller.
When they presented it to Nintendo head Satoru Iwata, Sawao and his team were hit with a complaint. Iwata said the fact that you had to physically plug the Wii Remote into the Balance Board was a "clumsy solution" and it should be able to be powered on as a controller all by itself.
After meeting new FCC guidelines and working with constructional constraints, such as how to get a wireless signal to be sent through the Balance Board's hard layer of metal, the final product was released, in time for the Japanese launch date of December 1, 2007.

Aruba Gets Wi-Fi Certified
September 03, 2003
The company now has the first Wi-Fi Alliance certification on a wireless network switch, as well as enough security in place to adequately provide HIPAA-qualified protection in medical facilities.
Aruba Wireless Networks announced this week that its Aruba 5000 modular switch and Aruba 52 802.11a/b access points have been tested and certified for Wi-Fi interoperability by the Wi-Fi Alliance.
The tests were done by outside lab Agilent ICL and was specifically for dual-band interoperability in the 2.4GHz and 5GHz spectrums.
Through internal testing, Aruba has determined that its 5000 switch interoperates with the following access points from other companies: Agere (model AP-1000), Cisco (models 340, 350, 1100, 1200), Netgear (models HE102, HE314, FM114P, MR814), Linksys (models WAP-55AG, WAP54G, WAP11), D-Link (all models), Avaya (models AP-3, AP-4, AP-5), Symbol (model Spectrum24), Proxim (model Orinoco AP-2000), Intermec (model Mobilian), Buffalo Technology (Airstation products), and Melcor (all models).
Merv Andrade, CTO of Aruba, says the Aruba switch has to "work in environments where people have legacy deployments as well as using our thin access points." He also pointed out that working with these third party products is not the same as turning them into just "thin APs."However, through these third-party models, the switch will provide load balancing, 802.1X authentication, and the company's own power and serial over Ethernet (SPoE).
SPoE is a patent owned by Aruba, which mixes PoE (the ability to provide electrical power to an access point over standard Ethernet cables) and the serial port found on the back of most enterprise-class access points. Aruba has a split cable it can provide, that has both serial and Ethernet on the access port end. This can then be used not only for power and for monitoring the access point's functions, but for taking advantage of features such as restarting an access that can sometimes only be done over the serial port.
Also, Aruba's products now confirm to the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) which requires that all health care areas provide for the confidentiality of patient records both for storage and transmission. HIPAA compliance includes use of advanced encryption, access control, and user authentication -- namely "irrefutable" unique identification of the user. Aruba claims the switch's multi-factor authentication meet this requirement. Unauthorized users are summarily rejected by the switch.
"The good and the bad thing about HIPPA," says Andrade, "is that it doesn't stamp one scheme. But that makes it hard for people to choose something. But [the Act] does call out specific features that are needed... we meet all the things needed for HIPPA support, and in a scalable fashion."

How to remove Wrinkles by using Natural Home Remedies for Wrinkles
Anti Aging is what lots of people try The fact is that you can stop the clock . Many people try eyewrinkle creams and the effects vary according to your skin
How to remove Wrinkles by using Natural Home Remedies for Wrinkles
Wrinkles refer to the loosening of the skin. With the age the skin loses its elasticity and moisture as results wrinkles appear on all over the face. Some young people also have few wrinkles around the eyes that are caused by spending much time in the sun.
Read more on Home Remedies for Wrinkles and Skin Problem Treatment. Also visit on Eye Gel
Causes of Wrinkles
The most common cause of wrinkles is of course part of the ageing process. There are also many other reasons that premature wrinkles appear for some people. Smoking or use of drugs can cause wrinkles because there are large amounts of radicals in cigarette smoke and other smoke. These radicals cause damage to skin at a very fast rate. Over exposure to sunlight and ultraviolet rays can cause damage to your skin and cause premature wrinkles. Wrinkles also are caused by stress, rapid weight loss and the loss or lack of vitamin E in your skin. Many of these things can easily be avoided or removed from your life to help slow the appearance of wrinkles.
Skin Wrinkle Treatment
Regular facial is very effective in controlling the wrinkles because massage increases the blood circulation. It further results in tightening of the muscles and tissues of the skin and thereby reducing the fleshiness of the skin and thus restoring a young look. However, this process is very slow.
1. Remove the make-up to open the pores of skin.
2. Remove oiliness by applying limejuice or cleansing milk.
3. Massage the face by applying a good quality cream with a firm pressure with help of fleshy tips of fingers.
4. Start the massage from the neck upwards and end at the forehead.
5. Do not apply pressure around eyes.
6. Continue massage for about 15 minutes.
7. Wipe off the face with wet cotton.
8. For fast removal of wrinkles you should massage with the fingers of both the hands rapidly in circular motion.
9. For removing the wrinkles on jaw, pinch the skin between your thumb and fingers.
10. Pinching is also good if you have double chin.
Home Remedoes for Wrinkle
1. Eat a balanced diet including fruits, vegetables, whole grain foods, seeds, nuts and legumes.
2. Drink plenty of fluid every day. This help to keep the skin hydrated and to flush away toxins.
3. Obtain fatty acids from cold pressed vegetable oils.
4. Avoid alcohol, caffeine and cigarettes, they dry the skin encouraging the development of wrinkles. Also the smoking habit uses the lips muscles hundreds of times a day, whichcontributes wrinkling.
5. Always protect your skin from the sun applying a sunscreen whit a sun protection factor ( SPF) of at least 15 to all exposed areas of the skin.
Diet for wrinkles
Water is very important thing to remember each and every day to prevent wrinkles. Make sure to drink at least 4-6 liters of water, this will help to keep your skin hydrated and prevent wrinkles. An excellent wrinkle prevention and cure product is flax seed oil. Slowly incorporate 1 teaspoon of flax seed oil 4 times daily into your diet. Be aware that flax seed oil will cause diarrhea so slowly incorporate it into your diet over a few days or even weeks. Although a balanced diet has not been proven to help with wrinkles it is always a good idea to eat a balanced diet of fresh fruit, vegetables and whole grains. This is one of the perfect diet for wrinkles.

Fans donating $10 or more will get to play PLINKO for great prizes like game tickets and signed memorabilia.
The Minnesota Wild is one of the first NHL teams to embrace the Hockey for Huggies campaign, which draws attention to the Every Little Bottom Initiative. The campaign launches Jan. 28, during NHL All-Star weekend.
Monetary donations will also be accepted throughout the month of February, through a text-to-donate campaign. Two Wild families – Burns, Schultz – will act as spokespeople for the Wild's Hockey for Huggies campaign. In addition, the team will be posting baby photos of Wild players on its Facebook page beginning the first week in February; fans can match the photos to win prizes.
The Diaper Drive in Minneapolis also has drop off locations in Alexandria and Duluth.

In the centre of town, overlooking Bristol Bridge and the river.
A fairly undistinguished modern building from the outside but the inside has had a recent extensive makeover and been given a contemporary designer feel. There are neat parquet floors, art-deco lighting, purple walls and purple-striped chairs and a huge elaborate chandelier over the bar.
Small but well-designed and continuing the art deco theme. There are 116 rooms, try to get one on the fifth or sixth floors, where you can enjoy fine views over the river and the city.
Tempting menus in the bar and the restaurant. The former serves a particularly good club sandwich and the latter has lovely starters, including pan-fried partridge and apple, stilton and walnut tart and a gut-busting steak and kidney steamed pudding as a main course. All the food is reasonably priced.
We like
The location and the neat, organised feel. Business trade is strong, but don't let that put you off as the hotel caters equally well for non-corporate visitors.
Not so keen
The chic theme may date; some paint had chipped after a matter of weeks. Breakfast service was perfunctory.
0117 929 1030; www.mercure.com; rooms from £99.
The restaurant scene, unlike other parts of the country, is holding up extremely well in Bristol. Try the Glassboat restaurant (moored by the Mercure Brigstow), which has an unusual breaded ox tongue as a starter and an excellent bouillabaisse. I would also recommend another floating restaurant, Ferry Station, which has a more café-style menu and excellent home-cooked food. The Living Room, a new restaurant and cocktail piano bar on the harbourside, is a good place for a drink and serves an excellent 28-day aged British rib-eye steak.
What's new?
Bristol has been changing rapidly in the last few years. Cabot Circus is the new shopping area with numerous upmarket shops, including Harvey Nichols and the very swish Cinema de Lux. Recently reopened is the beautifully refurbished lido, dating from 1849, where you can use the pool, spa or restaurant after a tiring day. Two new places to visit include an interactive museum for fans of Wallace and Gromit at Explore-at-Bristol, and for sea lovers, the Blue Reef Aquarium which is scheduled to open in October.

"It's possible the recall elections will rally Wisconsin Democrats, spurring them to keep up the fight by heading to the polls in November. However, the recall election will not be cheap....
Democrats outside the state have expressed concern about sinking money into a statewide election so soon before the presidential race. There is also a chance that adding another hot contest to the year's election calendar will induce voter fatigue, leaving would-be voters unwilling to summon the energy to make their way back to the polls again in November. In a state as evenly divided as Wisconsin, voter turnout is critical....
In the background, Wisconsin is also considering a proposal that would change the way it allots its Electoral College votes from a winner-take-all model to a representative one based on congressional districts. Maine and Nebraska are the only states that currently determine their Electoral College votes this way.... [I]f the proposal did somehow pass, it could deprive Obama of the last few votes he needs to win a close race, even if he narrowly carries Wisconsin.

In politics, nothing succeeds like success. The incumbent advantage demonstrates this. When Walker beats the recall, Wisconsin fence-sitters won't need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows. Walker's success will still be fresh in their minds in November.
- NYTNewYorker said...
Voter fatigue? If this doesn't exist already in Wisconsin, it never will.
- S said...
I (rebuttably) presume that the proposal to split up the state's electoral votes is entirely partisan. Even though I oppose Obama and think he's likely to win Wisconsin in a close national election, I don't like this, and it would actually give me an extra reason to hope the Republican candidate wins Wisconsin.

A representative electoral college allocation makes lots of sense for states like CA that are beholden to a political party and as a result get very little attention from either Democrats or Republicans, yet would otherwise have lots of votes up for grabs.
It makes little sense for Wisconsin. Now that Romney has lied his way into a good position in Florida, it makes even less sense. Romney does not have the energy of a Newt Gingrich to do anything substantial as President. So why put in a law that is not good for Wisconsin. - 1/28/12, 12:03 PM
- traditionalguy said...
The candidates facial image being seen over and over again creates a link in people's minds/souls that likes what is familiar.
So the Dems will not have a chance running a newcomer. They need to run Feingold to match up against the now familiar Walker mug. - 1/28/12, 12:25 PM
- Jay said...
There is also a chance that adding another hot contest to the year's election calendar will induce voter fatigue,
For the left, I doubt it. They never miss a chance to cheat and frankly aren't that enamored with the structure of our representative republic. Which is why the have a fetish for China, want to cancel elections, and Obama himself can declare when the Senate is in recess. - 1/28/12, 12:30 PM
- YoungHegelian said...
So, NOW, after all the hoopla over getting signatures and all the anti-Walker rhetoric, some wiser heads among the WI Democrats are figuring out that a recall election may not be a good idea in the middle of a national election year.
I'm sorry, I thought the Republicans were the stupid party....
They haven't even picked a challenger candidate against Walker yet, so all that intra-Democratic bloodletting is yet to come.
Wisconsin Democrats are like a dog chasing a car. What will the dog do with it when he catches it? - 1/28/12, 12:37 PM

The 2000 prez election pushed libruls over the edge. They became even more terminally unhappy. So they and their attorneys scheme and devise strategies that they hope will shift the balance of power to them forever. Most far left libruls need mental help.
- John Stodder said...
What exactly has Romney lied abou, Dante? And what is the basis for your perception that he lacks Gingrich's "energy?" Aren't you confusing lack of discipline on Newt's part for energy? He's a hummingbird; fun to watch but won't produce much of substance.
- cubanbob said...
Is there some requirement in the WI election laws that the recall election be held prior to the November election? If not, then it would cheaper to hold it on November on election day. Besides why things easier for the democrats?
- garage mahal said...
So, anything else going on that might effect the recalls, I wonder? #writersblock
- DaveW said...
I don't know about voter fatigue, but what about getting demoralized?
Suppose for a minute that Walker wins after an expensive and brutal fight. Isn't it possible that the left - specifically unions - will feel the fight is lost and some will stay home?
I can imagine that sort of dynamic. - 1/28/12, 1:08 PM

er, affect
- Opfor311 said...
As someone who lives in Nebraska, I'd encourage Wisconsin, or any other state for that matter, to go the Nebraska/Maine method of allocating Electoral College votes. By doing so, the state encourages candidates to come and campaign for votes that they would otherwise have no chance to obtain. It also allows the country to be closer to having more democratic elections while not having to do an end run around the constitution.
- James said...
"Wisconsin is also considering a proposal that would change the way it allots its Electoral College votes from a winner-take-all model to a representative one based on congressional districts."
Wisconsin Democrats were considering the idea; its not even on the radar for Republicans. Google outfits like "Center for Voting and Democracy" and you'll see its people like Lani Guinier who are really pushing the idea.
Its similar to the Secretary of State project where Dems have been trying to get "progressive" candidates elected who will decide in their favor in close elections like in Washington State and Minnesota. - 1/28/12, 1:16 PM

In hindsight, I think you're correct. They haven't been right in the head since then (no pun intended). - 1/28/12, 1:17 PM

I've been arguing for a while now that a drawn out recall process favor Scott Walker. The anti-Obama sentiment will also favor Walker down ballot as most people will vote a straight Republican ticket.

Plus libruls fell in love with the Clinton presidency and the TV show, The West Wing, in the late 1990's. They deluded themslves into believing most Americans loved that too. The 2000 election was their ugly awakening.
- crosspatch said...
I have always been in favor of giving two electoral votes (representing the seats of the Senators) who carry the state as a whole and then one (representing the House members) for whoever wins each House district. That would make the electoral votes more closely match the popular vote.
The drawback is that it would potentially allow a third party candidate to collect electoral votes. I believe this is one reason why the major parties don't like this idea. - 1/28/12, 1:38 PM

[I]f the proposal did somehow pass, it could deprive Obama of the last few votes he needs to win a close race, even if he narrowly carries Wisconsin.
Republicans could learn some lessons from democrats..
Anything that could remotely put Obamas reelection in jeopardy is given considerable attention and priority..
So, anything else going on that might effect the recalls, I wonder?

Think he means the Newt Hated Ron blitz a couple of days ago.
At first, there were a lot of counter posts about how Abrams lied, etc.; now some blogs such as Power Line are saying it wasn't that cut and dried. - 1/28/12, 2:02 PM

I think that the recall is doomed because Wisconsin people are going to turn out for Romney (if nominated). Those same people will send the recall effort back to Illinois along with Obama.

"Super Collider"..heh that is what the all the chicks call me.
- Lem said...
".. so all that intra-Democratic bloodletting is yet to come."
The intense dislike for Walker may assuage them to dispense with that..
(I want credit for using that word :)
Btw.. if the dislike for Obama is so intense as democrats like to claim.. doesn't the Newt Romney holocaust belie that assumption? - 1/28/12, 2:56 PM

Yes, there's an enormous supply of "mischief money." Doesn't mean it's selling to consumers, ya know?
Wisconsin is a "toss up" state. The states that are going to vote republican, no matter what,is a known factor.
There's another reality.
Since Newt just energized the primary process ... And, it seems he tilted the table ... No one really knows what's gonna happen t'marra.
Rush Limbaugh, however, made an excellent point ... a 40-minute segment ... where he really doesn't know what to make of all the hits against Newt. Except his belief that "it's coordinated."
And, then he ends up saying: "Ya know what? It's in the GOP's best interest NOT to have a frontrunner yet!
Rush points out the obscene amounts of money Obama has. And, IF it's gonna be known BEFORE MARCH ... who is leading the GOP ... then Obama can concentrate all his fire against this one guy.
Imagine if Obama has to shoot in multiple directions?
Then Obama burns money. And, has too many targets. Where concentrating on one of them ... favors Obama.
I thank Newt for making this process so much better to watch. - 1/28/12, 3:35 PM
- Carol_Herman said...
We know from the media, that they love the atmospherics of "close elections."
Since the East Coast WAS weighted favorably to Obama ... I have suspected that the media would try to create a "wave." And, swamp the country with predictions.
Remember when they said Gore won? (Even though Gore lost his home state of Tennessee?)
Walker, however, has not arrived at the point where he is a main stage player.
Does Walker, however, expose union activity? YUP.
Can you get people to change their minds over this? You've got a "MISSION ACCOMPLISHED" banner you can spare them? - 1/28/12, 3:38 PM
- Carol_Herman said...
Newt's holding back for a reason.
And, I think Santorum just left Florida.
Florida, by the way, comes in TWO time zones! Expect Tuesday's results, ahead, to be full of hanky-panky. Can such lunacy grow an audience? - 1/28/12, 3:39 PM

"[I]f the proposal did somehow pass, it could deprive Obama of the last few votes he needs to win a close race, even if he narrowly carries Wisconsin."
It could also deprive the Republican candidate in the same manner.
For sure, it will deprive Wisconsin of influence and clout in future elections. - 1/28/12, 4:43 PM
- Lem said...
In the background, Wisconsin is also considering a proposal that would change the way it allots its Electoral College votes from a winner-take-all model to a representative one based on congressional districts.
If its politically disadvantageous to do it.. then I'm for it.
In the sense of getting spending under control..
Lets have all states do it that way.. not to mention it sounds more fair.
I'm willing to entertain the cons.. other than what I've read so far. - 1/28/12, 4:57 PM
- Lem said...
As far as getting spending under control.. I don't know whats worst.
A lame duck Obama or a fresh new spender.. between Newt and Romney,
its difficult to decipher who would spend less.
That's why Gov Walker is such an efing hero.. to me. B for brass balls. - 1/28/12, 5:08 PM

If they apportioned all electors by congressional district, there would be even bigger fights over redistricting and the census. I think we would have even more polarized politics, as the Dems wouldn't bother appealing to non-urban areas and Repubs ignored the big cities.

I'm sorry, I thought the Republicans were the stupid party....

The fear of Demmoney drying up has to be factored with the understanding that Dead Elephants ar also sucking up money not usually allocated. I my book(a ledger), that comes out a zero sum game for both parties.
It's like a bad football team (and being a UK fan, I know bad football) saying,"We'll be better with another year of experience for our kids". Which totally ignores that everyone else is getting a year of experience too.
As a lot on here predict, I also see voter fatigue creeping up on the mob. You can only emote so much before you burn out, and your progressives have burned so very bright.
Good for Walker. - 1/28/12, 8:38 PM

Perhaps that's true, but it's not necessarily so. (And how do people know when they make such absolutist statements about complex folk and the unknown future?)

I once saw an analyzis of the last 8 elections or so where someone actually did the research and determined what the electoral vote total would have been if every state apportioned their electoral votes on a per-Congressional district basis (with the two Senatorial seat electoral vote equivalents going to the overall State's winner). I wish I could find it. Apparently only one of the last 8 or so elections would have been different, (Bush 1st I believe) and that would have been very narrow.
"Florida, by the way, comes in TWO time zones! Expect Tuesday's results, ahead, to be full of hanky-panky. Can such lunacy grow an audience?"
The entire state of Florida is in the Eastern time zone. What are you talking about? - 1/30/12, 9:52 AM

Solar Liberty Foundation is dedicated to assisting people in rural areas of less developed nations with renewable energy resources. Our goal at Solar Liberty Foundation is to harness the power of the sun to provide people in need with solar electrification, solar water filtration, and solar cookers.
We are concerned about people living in extreme poverty and want to do something that will not only impact people's lives today, but for generations to come. We believe that all humankind must be treated with dignity and respect. Because we have the ability to improve people's lives, we have the responsibility to do so.
We distribute solar cookers to use the power of the sun to cook food and to sterilize water. Advantages include:
- Solar cookers allow people to cook without the need for kindling or fuels.
- As such, they cost nothing to operate.
- And they eliminate the indoor concentration of health-damaging pollutants.
- Training is offered to educate and instruct people on how to cook in the solar cookers and to help overcome cultural acceptance issues.

Brian Altano: For all their ambition, the good cop/bad cop karmic system meets open-world, GTA-style sandboxes of the last two True Crime games never really clicked with me. Sure, the block-for-block recreation of New York City featured in the last installment allowed me to cruise by what was supposed to be my old lower east side apartment and crash my car into some guy who looked a little like the asshole landlord I had at the time, but ultimately it was a shallow and empty city inhabited by nothing but my own disappointment. The driving felt loose, the city felt empty, and combat left much to be desired -- a "jack of all trades, master of none" gathering of gameplay missteps that seems to plague many such ambitious sandbox games. This time around, though, the franchise reboot simply known as True Crime aims to fix all of that by blending combat, gunplay, driving and general action sequences into one seamless experience. And if Activision's GDC demonstration is any indication, True Crime is on the right track towards accomplishing just that.
This time around True Crime takes place in a vividly imagined modern-day Hong Kong that's teeming with nightlife and criminal activity. Not like most of us would notice anyway, but the team behind True Crime opted out of mapping out the city as realistically as possible and instead decided to present gamers with a world that makes more sense to navigate as a videogame. While based on several true-to-life environments, this is not the Google Maps approach. That's not to say the game's portrayal of the bustling Chinese city was left completely to the developer's imaginations; the team took several booze-fueled research trips to Hong Kong, returning with over 27,000 digital photos, some new tattoos, and more importantly, a bolder understanding of what made the film "Internal Affairs" (the game's other main inspiration, better known to American cinema junkies as its remake, "The Departed") so gritty and action-packed. But since True Crime isn't as much about sight-seeing as it is about ass-kicking action, it's probably best if we just jump right to talking about that.
Brian Miggels: True Crime's fighting system would make pudgy old Steven Seagal quiver in his stupid cowboy boots. The demo showed protagonist Wei Shen grossly outnumbered by that old standby, the swarm of thugs in a factory. He quickly whittled down their numbers by snapping arms and necks, pistol-whipping, and bashing in skulls with a refrigerator door. As a connoisseur of violence, I was more than pleased. I was particularly impressed by just how many interactive environment objects this small factory provided. Wei did an insane cafeteria lunch-lady impression by slashing at foes with a handy-dandy meat cleaver and even smashed a thug's face into a circuit breaker, triggering an explosive death. Picture Batman in Arkham Asylum disposing of a circle of foes, only this Batman has no qualms with murder.
When faced by another seemingly never-ending chain of enemies in the next room, our protagonist-- in an act of Matrix-esque smoothness -- disarmed an assailant's gun, took him as a human shield, then got bored and shot the hapless Triad flunkie in the kneecap to incapacitate him. This great fight sequence showed that True Crime has lots of promise. The idea is that a sandbox game isn't just about open-world exploration -- you can have sandbox-style fun with an open-ended approach to combat as well.
Leaving the battered Triads unconscious and dreaming about what-the-F just happened, Wei Shen exited the factory floor by scaling a stack of crates to reach a scaffold -- a little trick he learned from Ezio Auditore, and a stark contrast to Nico Bellic's platforming ineptitude. Outside the factory, the rescue mission turned into an all-out motorcycle pursuit, wherein Shen had to chase after a comrade who'd been thrown in the back of a squad car. The driving seemed more arcade and less simulation -- the kind of handling that Burnout fans will gravitate to. As the pursuit ended with a Jackie Chan-styled stuntman leap from the bike to the roof of the police cruiser, we couldn't help but grin as the main character fluidly hijacked the vehicle, sending the driver flying. Mission accomplished. Despite my general lack of regard for the series my True Crime interest level soared after this demo, earning this game a place on GameSpy's radar.

I've been playing for three years. When I first played, I rolled alliance, simply because the one friend I had that played was on alliance side. I got to level 11 with my first character, Crackaddict, a dwarf hunter, before deciding cow-people looked cooler and rolled horde. Tauren druid. That was about a week after I started playing.Never looked back. I briefly got bored of horde for about two weeks, where I rolled a draenei warrior which got to the mid 20's. Went back to horde after all.
Hmmmm....I think that I rolled Alliance because I liked the fact the races were 'pretty'. My main is a Female Night Elf Priest. They were by far the prettiest race of all of them. I liked having the stripper dance too!I've got ALOT of Alli and horde Alts. 1-60 was absolutely amazing on Alliance, Even before Theramoore.But it's funny. I always thought that Blizz made so much more for the Horde then the Alliance. :)Regardless, I'm very happy with Alliance. Northrend on Alliance has been simply AMAZING!
I know when I started this game on December 26, 2004 I rolled a Dwarf Hunter. I loved Lord of the Rings, having read the books and been massively engaged in the movies as well. Additionally, I had been playing Warcraft III leading up to World of Warcraft, and always felt that Humans, and by extension Dwarves were the good guys, while the Undead were the evil ones, or at least to my interpretation (I know I left out the Night Elves and Orcs, I just felt that they had their own separate plight going on even though it was tied into everything else as well...let me be). I wanted to be a good guy, and I wanted to be like the bad ass Dwarf with the big *!@#ing bear in the cinematic trailer for World of Warcraft. I loved seeing him draped in furs, and seeing him fire the gun, and seeing him in the beautiful wintry setting in the vast mountainous wilderness. Unfortunately he only lasted about 20 levels when I switched to a new server and started a paladin. That reason was because of friends, but again, I wanted to be good. I wanted to represent everything that was holy, fight the good fight. I played there (Skullcrusher) for about a year or two until I quit the summer before I started College. In my second semester of my first year at school I met a buddy, who is now my roommate, who played horde. He got me back into Azeroth, and I needed to be Horde. While I ultimately miss being 'good' (it is really all relative), and I miss being 'pretty', I do enjoy playing Horde, although I think a part of me will always prefer the beauty that is Alliance.P.S. No, I do not play as a Blood Elf.
It's one of the great things that make the game interesting -- if you're curious about the other side -- go try it out past level 7. You'll experience the same game, but from a new perspective and we should all take time out to see our world from new perspectives.There is *so much* content, you can't see it all with one toon, even multiple toons in the same faction you won't see everything (unless you max your achievements out I suppose), so go roll a gnome warlock or a night elf warrior and explore.My 'main' these days was probably the 7th toon I rolled past 20, and my second max level.Now, all that said -- The HORDE is where it's at!
This is a good blog I must say! I rolled aliance first, got a hunter and pally up to mid 30's. My co-workers got me into playing. It was so fresh and exciting then. I switched jobs and kinda lost touch so decided to roll horde with a hunter lvled to mid 50's. Horde was great fun and I was in an excellent guild. Taurens were my favorite but seemed the least evil. Then on a whim i decided to go back to the alliance side. I've been there ever since. Horde is really awesome with the player models, cities and lore. I cant say anything bad about it. I just really like the idea of playing alliance, being an underdog and fighting for the good of azeroth. I'm not saying that people that play horde are evil, but its fun having that constant turmoil of those two factions at war.
Wait. This has nothing to do with sheep.
Rather than citing others, and so on, and so on...World of Warcraft, is just as its name proclaims. A world it's own. Every race has its own rich lore that has been expanded upon by novels, comics, RPG books, stories on the site, or quests. Every race has traits which allow them to be played in several different ways that the person thinks of, RP wise. And this way, adds the inherent taste to the faction you pick. When I bought WoW, I was 14...(I'm currently 18.) I didn't give much thought to the whole RP world, didn't know ANYTHING regarding lore, didn't play any of the other Warcraft games. I inherently, due to the cool looking, lithe, "Creeping", form of the Night Elves, created a Night elf hunter. Within the bowels of my less-than-basic mmorpg knowledge, I failed at the game at the beginning and only got him to lvl 15 before taking a break for Real-Life.After awhile of not playing, I found out a friend of mine I knew from a long time, owned an account of WoW. He showed me a bit of Orc lore, gave me another server to play on, zip, zop, zam. Orc Warrior. In time, I took him to 60(Long rigorous months, considering breaks I took to keep up studies and the social life.). I hit endgame running, and finished most of pre-bc endgame save for Naxxramas. In time, I grew bored of WoW once more, and took a break from it, this time for a year.After arriving at a new highschool, I found that my new friends (6 of the 10 people I spent time with on a regular basis.) All played WoW, on another server, PvP. Horde Side. All 60. This urged me to rekindle the match and light the fire I had so abruptly ended a year before. I created a Blood Elf Priest, began anew on Shattered Hand(PvP) and quickly reached 70.It's two years since I started that Elf. In the time I leveled him, I've read every novel in print, enjoyed many an RP on RP servers(Horde and Alliance.) and explored the lore behind many aspects of the game.It's within this, that in my conclusion, I found preference in the Horde. Not because of prejudice, but rather...I found justice in the way the Orcs broke free of the shackles of the corruption, as Thrall lead them, the Darkspear Trolls(Whom, despite what many have commented before, are NOT cannibalistic, when they joined Thrall, they were an outcast tribe that left the Gurubashi empire for clashing views.) and the Tauren(Who although are quick to anger, are the quickest to protect nature, notice that although the night elves have stood with nature before, it was also due to Night Elf society in the past that the world was scarred in the Sundering.)).There's a prefference for everyone, and even if your an orc, you don't have to be a bloodthirsty killing machine, or a tech-savy gnome, or a hippie-elf. The game gives you as many possibilities as you make of it.Also, as far as the king of stormwind reappearing. If you read the comic that WoW released, it'll show you what happened to him. I won't spoil it for you, but its quite the tale.
I'm an alliance because my friends were all alliance. I sometimes wish I rolled horde.......
I rolled horde why? Cuz in all the Warcraft games I have played The horde have allways been my favorite. There's nothing more epic than an orc warrior wielding an massive twohander axe. nuff said
I went with the Alliance for many reasons. When picking a race, I did look at the Horde first... Looking at the Orcs, I didn't like the green skin much but their poor posture just got to me, I didn't like it; also, they're from space (from what I understand). Looking at Trolls, and their terrible posture, I couldn't get around the tusks, I didn't like them. The Undead, I hated the "atmosphere" of the starting zone, and, I hated the way they walk. The Tauren; I almost did end up rolling a Tauren Warrior; I still have him at level 23 but I ended up not because I got tired of the Barrens.When I looked at the Alliance races this is what I saw. In Humans, I saw "/silly" and liked the fact that I could recreate myself; I also liked the fact that in Warcraft lore, humans are very tenacious, proud, brave and honorable. Dwarves, I loved "/silly" with these guys, I also like the fact that they live in a snowy area; and I love Ironforge. The main problems with the Dwarves is their racials, and I can't stand looking at their butts and feet every second I play. I didn't even consider a Gnome... Last came the Night Elves; I chose this race because they could be hunters, if humans could be hunters I would have picked that race. Night Elves have a ton of lore behind them, I like the 2 foot ears and Elves tend to be smart. I liked the fact that there was no dwarf butt.As for picking a class, I brought a hunter to level 60 so far. I intend to roll a Paladin to 80 one of these days. I picked a hunter because I liked the idea of dealing damage instead of tanking or healing mostly...On my server, Scarlet Crusade, the Alliance has twice of player base of the Horde, and the Alliance nearly never wins a battleground. Out of the many battlegrounds I have participated in, I have only seen the Alliance win once.... which was in AB. I hate the fact that I cannot get any Alliance players in a battleground to work together, they just scatter and panic... then complain of loss. I usually get in the top 3 Alliance players in the battlegrounds I play, and when I get first out of both sides, all I hear is, "stupid huntard needs nerf" or "easy class to play, try something harder". I have come to realize however, that I do not play WoW for the battlegrounds, in fact I don't like PvP at all; I decline nearly every duel. I like raiding, instances or cities, I just like rading. I have yet to reach the position (level/gear/guild) where I can lead raids, but I would very much like to in the future, especially old 40-man raids.Many people say that the Alliance is all 12 years olds, while there may be many, I don't think anymore than Horde. It seems to me that a lot of younger kids like the idea of being a totally cool Undead person or a cow, or a green dude with tusks; or a "totally hot Blood Elf chick". I don't mind kids too much, if they aren't stuck up than all they are is walking sponges ready to learn and gather information, and that's easy to deal with. I like teaching people, I like working with people and I like leading people; all of that can be found on either faction in WoW PvE.Malgayne, you mentioned architecture and 'beuty' of cities and towns of the Alliance, I couldn't agree more. The city I despise the most is the Undercity, it's confusing, gross looking and there is no open area around the bank for people to stand around (like in TB, Org, IF or SW). I prefer Ironforge; it has the least travel time from the bank to AH and the mailbox is right there, it has a simple and easy to understand layout aswell. Also, as my little testament to RP, it is the least penetrable city. Think of it, if Ironforge were to come under seige all Bronzebeard would have to do is say, "Close the gates!" and Ironforge is an Iron vault... just one massive door can protect the city. If you bring up the Deeprun Tram, well, it is guarded on the other side by a whole other city! And what do you think those funny cogs around the entrance to Deeprun are for? They are for grinding Horde to peices that's what. Ironforge is also closed, so unlike Stormwind it looks the same day and night.You also mentioned that you like Darkshore. Personally I don't like it because it is dark and rabid; although that shining giant sword in the ground is the coolest thing I have ever seen in WoW. If I were to pick a zone, it would have to be the Hinterlands, mostly because of Aerie Peak and the Gryphons. Speaking of Gryphons, I like riding them, another plus for the Alliance.As for now, I am going to be sure to do that Tethyr quest and the Missing Diplomat quest chain, neither of which I did on my hunter, when I roll my Paladin (Human Paladin, by the way).*edit: lern2spel*
are you kidding? I HATE gnomes. ugly ugly ugly little bastards, even uglier up close, and their voices just icky.I play for Undead Warlock, and I think she's: 1. cute, with those shiny yellow eyes (I liked that in Night Elves too and the stripper dance but their starting ecology quests were just plain idiotic) and funny jumps; 2. good and kind-hearted in her own way; 3. funny.Also I prefer afflictions-warlock because that takes the longest to kill and also doesn't fail to kill even after I die. I think a warlock's idea is torture and cursing other ppl (especially the gnomes), and I don't find that evil at all.What I really love about Undeads is their starting areas, the beautiful forests of Tirisfal Glades, and most of all - killing the religious fundamentalist bastards The Scarlet Crusade, who are the dumbest, dullest, most boring and disgusting humans I've ever seen.Also I love Undercity because other races don't know their way around there and tend to avoid it, and so the place is always empty and you can use the auctions easily and log out without fear (if I log out in Orgri or, worse, Dalaran, I can't log back in because the sheer amount of other players crashes my game at connect).
I'm alliance, and always will be. honestly, despite the numerical difference that used to hold sway making horde undoubtedly better. I chose to side with my sense. I took alliance because it's all so darn pretty, and if I'm playing for hours on end i want to enjoy the feel of everything. The downside is, it's the surefire choice for lots and lots of little kids (yes im sure horde has theirs too) It really is up to you what you want. I'm happy with alliance, and would never switch.
The real reason Alliance play Alliance.... Darcy Admit it !=)Rog'
Allies get furbolg form. That's the only thing keeping me from going horde... that and I like my guild :)
I rolled Alliance...Uther made me to it!Yes, I am a Human Paladin. My roleplay (Casual) perceptive is to uphold the faith of humanity, and people do that because they love my FoL and Holy Light. /SmileI usually set my Paladin in questing zones like Darkshire, or generally gloomy places. The thing I don't like about WoW, is the insignificance the player actually does...True, Tirion formed the Silver Hand again because of In Dreams...but...The most thing I like about the Alliance is its shaking warcry. Horde has "For the Horde" And "Lor'Tar ogar!" (Victory or Death. I usually shout 'Ogar' at hordies when I kill them. If I can't learn the language, they'll understand it...technically). And the Alliance has the shaking "Glory to the Alliance!"Try shouting that out loud.I loved Paladin quests in the Alliance. Defend the weak, retrieve lost memories (Smithy hammer), help the unfortunate, and aid the poor. It is all ideal.I've played an Orc Shaman, seeing that it is my direct counterpart. Read: Human Paladins are the Alliances' heroes. Orc Shamans are the Horde's spiritual advisers. It all counters out...and Forsaken Warlocks? Don't get me started. I started one of those too.Now, regarding quests, I loved the fact that when I disposed of VanCleef, a large threat to Stormwind was relieved. Same goes to all Defias, and my surprise when I found Defias in Northshire, Darkshire, and Westfall. I knew some corrupt official was helping them, and it turns out: Lady Onyxia.Now that she is dead, lore-wise, Stormwind will support Darkshire, Westfall and Redridge more then it does now.The most intruiging part of this Alliance Paladin experience is Lordaeron. The Forsaken took our home, and reclaimed it as their own.True, many of them were former citizens of Lordaeron, and they do get hunted down by the Scarlet Crusade...but then again, the Scarlet Crusade thinks that Stormwind's Cathedral of Light knows nothing, and is independent. It attacks me, a Paladin. *lifts eyebrowNot to forget, what it does to the living...devising poisons that kill everything?The Forsaken became a hate-all race, generally speaking, and to be honest, a High Elf should never rule Lordaeron. Lordaeron is under the Alliance, and Varian has every right to take it back and assign a new leader. Do not forget that he used to be Arthas's friend during the Second and First wars, and he loved the King like Llane, his father. He does not have ill wishes to Lordaeron.And did anyone notice: Nothing was done regarding the new Plague. For all we know, the Horde can have another uprising, and have one executed better. They are developing it as we speak.I do not blame Varian for hating the Forsaken, I rarely tolerate them, both as a Paladin, and as (roleplay) a former citizen of Lordaeron.They were undead in Beta, and they still are. Hearts rife with hate and vengance. How different are they from the Scourge?Mindful, yes...but what does that help when a mind is poisoned with hate and fear?Night Elves? They sacrificed everything, and only one (or a couple of individuals) cannot stand the loss. Malfurion is one of the best characters in WoW. A shame he is still sleeping.Gnomes? ...I don't know...I'm not fascinated by their lore as much as Night Elves or Humans, but it is filled with great ideas and poor executions. (Gnomeregan)Dwarves? Stout allies that I intend to respect and keep.Dranei? The only ones who can rival Humans in religious strength. I loved going into the Exodar and listening to them talk. I always choose them to raise Rep with, even if I hate the elephant thing...Trolls? Can't trust'em, mon. Dey be eating your sistar's flesh behind jor back.Blood Elves? I only wish there was a High Elf race for the Alliance. I played a Blood Elf, and although I liked the theme, I felt they were sick beyond repair.Tauren? They seem like an honorable, noble folk...I do not know much about them, but I avoid picking on them in PvP, unlike Forsaken, who I attack reguarly. What? I'm freeing their souls.Even if they don't want to...Many do not know what they want.I only respect Thrall as a leader. He, for one, was able to quell the savagery of his people. I fear that if he dies, the Horde will break down...as Orgrimmar is a leader's nation. If he fell, so will it.He quelled the bloodlust, be he cannot quell the hate.I'm looking at a repeat of the Second War when he dies.And this time, Uther won't be here.Glory to the Alliance.
Well, i have kinda gone both sides of the coin. I played a troll hunter up to mid 60s before he got deleted, so i rolled alliance and went night elf, again a hunter.While playing horde, i kinda felt justified by all the killing, putting it down to the instincts that had forced them together in the first place, namely survival and vengeance.Playing alliance, i felt like i was reacting to the actions of the horde. I would find that often, many of the places where i had quested as a horde had been recently taken, and that the horde would be a little over the top. the wrath gate and in icecrown being prime examples.Just my piece.

Official Title: | Long Term Split Belt Treadmill Training for Stroke Recovery |
- Change in Baseline Step length symmetry. That is, whether the steps with right and left legs are the same length. [ Time Frame: Baseline Visit 1 (week 1) and Baseline Visit 2 (week 2), 2 times during training (once at week 6 and once at week 10), after training (week 14), and 1- and 3 months after training ]Subjects will either walk on a special mat that records their step lengths, or will wear special markers on the feet and body to record their step lengths.
- Change in Baseline Oxygen intake [ Time Frame: Baseline Visit 1 (week 1) and Baseline Visit 2 (week 2), 2 times during training (once at week 6 and once at week 10), after training (week 14), and 1- and 3 months after training ]A metabolic cart will be used while the subject is walking on the treadmill to determine if training is helping their bodies become more efficient with their oxygen intake.
- Walking speed [ Time Frame: Before training, periodically during training, post training and 1- and 3 months after training ]Subjects will complete a 6 meter walking test to determine if the treadmill training has increased their walking speed. This will allow for a progressive increase in treadmill speed during training for each individual subject.

Split-belt treadmill training
Behavioral: Split belt treadmill
A split belt treadmill is like a typical treadmill that is seen in the gym, except that this treadmill has two belts that move instead of just one. One leg goes on one belt and the other leg uses the other belt. The belt speeds can be set to move at the same speed, making this treadmill similar to any regular treadmill, but, belt speeds can also be set so that one belt moves a little faster than the other. The belts are never set at a running or jogging speed, only a self-paced walking speed regardless of whether the belts are both going the same or slightly different speeds.

Detailed Description:
Coordination between the legs during walking is often disrupted after neurological injury, resulting in asymmetric gait patterns. Recent data shows that walking patterns can be altered through treadmill training, even after central nervous system damage. The investigators have studied short-term adaptation of inter-limb coordination during walking using a split-belt treadmill to control speed of the two legs independently. Our findings demonstrate that walking patterns are adaptable. The investigators have also shown that people with cerebral damage from stroke can benefit in the short-term to correct asymmetric walking patterns. Since all of our previous work has focused on single training sessions or up to 4 week training sessions, the investigators would like to study long-term effects of split belt treadmill training. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to prepare for a clinical trial of split-belt treadmill training to treat walking pattern deficits from cerebral damage. The investigators will gather data to determine whether different types of treadmill training on a custom split-belt treadmill are likely to change/improve walking symmetry as well as metabolic efficiency.
The investigators will study adults with cerebral damage due to stroke. Subjects with hemiparesis will undergo training 3 times a week for a total of 33 training session. These 33 sessions will be broken into 3 blocks of 11 sessions. After each block of 11 sessions an evaluation will be done to record any gait improvements. Training for the subjects with hemiparesis will either be conventional treadmill walking (both legs moving at the same speed) or split-belt treadmill walking (with one leg moving faster than the other). These studies will provide important new information about normal mechanisms of locomotor adaptation, as well as providing a new rehabilitation tool for people with asymmetric gait patterns. Note that this study is not an aerobic conditioning program since subjects will work well below their age-adjusted target heart rate; it is instead a retraining program aimed at teaching people a new inter-limb coordination pattern as well as to determine whether this training can influence the subject's body's ability to use its intake of oxygen more efficiently. This study is also critical for developing procedural reliability processes, calculating effect sizes, training clinical staff, and determining other salient clinical variables in preparation for a randomized clinical trial.

Its a perfect school if your dedicated student. Its a perfect school for students that are interested in sciences. Its also a beautiful and very helpful campus. …
Aesthetically Agnes Scott is like being transported to Hogwarts. The professors, staff, and other students are always willing to work with you and happy to do so. The tuition isn't…
this school has a diverse student body and diverse fields of study. the class size is small, so you have easy access to your professors. all in all, the school…
Agnes Scott College educates women to think deeply, live honorably and engage the intellectual and social challenges of their times.
Agnes Scott College provides a dynamic liberal arts and sciences curriculum of the highest standards so that students and faculty can realize their full creative and intellectual potential.
Agnes Scott College fosters an environment in which women can develop high expectations for themselves as individuals, scholars, professionals and citizens of the world.
Agnes Scott College strives to be a just and inclusive community that expects honorable behavior, encourages spiritual inquiry and promotes respectful dialogue across differences.
I sincerely wish that I lived further away from Agnes Scott, so my parents would require me to go home every weekend. There are a lot of things to do, needless to say, and there is at least a fun event or two going on every month. Black Cat week was amazing, and I'm sure you prospectives will think the same when you come to it.
Read MoreAgnes is located just 10 minutes from Atlanta, so its not uncommon for us to go spend our weekend over there but Decatur also has a lot to offer. Agnes is also really good about the events we have on campus, whether its a block party, cultural events or guest speakers. And I also feel very safe on campus (which is beautiful; it kind of has a Harry Potter feel to it).
Read MoreI absolutely love Agnes!! At first I wasn't sure about an all women's college but it was a great choice for me. The campus is beautiful, the dorms are amazing, the people are fantastic and it seems that everyone is happy to be there. There are lots of activities off and on campus so you never have to be bored. Having Atlanta so close is really great; there is never a lack of stores, restaurants, and attractions!
Read MoreI always wanted to go a women's college when i grow ever since and i know my experiences will change more than I have at my school experiences here. Plus, I saw the video in the website that holds loads of information that made me realized that this kind of college would be the perfect college for me till I graduate from high school.

The author is a Forbes contributor. The opinions expressed are those of the writer.
In trading on Wednesday, shares of Markwest Energy Partners L.P. (NYSE: MWE) entered into oversold territory, changing hands as low as $55.56 per share. We define oversold territory using the Relative Strength Index, or RSI, which is a technical analysis indicator used to measure momentum on a scale of zero to 100. A stock is considered to be oversold if the RSI reading falls below 30.
In the case of Markwest Energy Partners L.P., the RSI reading has hit 27.4 — by comparison, the universe of energy stocks covered by Energy Stock Channel currently has an average RSI of 47.8, the RSI of WTI Crude Oil is at 51.4, and the RSI of Henry Hub Natural Gas is presently 37.2.
A bullish investor could look at MWE's 27.4 reading as a sign that the recent heavy selling is in the process of exhausting itself, and begin to look for entry point opportunities on the buy side.
Looking at a chart of one year performance (below), MWE's low point in its 52 week range is $39.00 per share, with $61.60 as the 52 week high point — that compares with a last trade of $56.32. Markwest Energy Partners L.P. shares are currently trading down about 2.8% on the day.
According to the ETF Finder at ETF Channel, MWE makes up 1.32% of the Dynamic Energy Sector Portfolio ETF (AMEX: PXI) which is trading lower by about 1.6% on the day Wednesday.

Skysoft is a YAASD (Yet Another Astronomical Software Directory), but with a different overall approach. Our choice is to design this site as a community supported directory. The idea is that content remains timely because of frequent user interaction. Users and developers are invited to contribute with software news, user's views, comments and bugs notifications, and general astronomical news. This site is designed so that software developers acquire more visibility because of astronomical context. Developers can post a brief description of their product, with the classification which can ease the search and retrieval of software projects.
Our goal is to be useful to both end-users and developers. We host all software kinds, from general data reduction packages, to specialized libraries, to small specific tools.
Help us to help you: register your software, share your experiences and views!

Arnold Schwarzenegger and Maria Shriver's son Christopher Schwarzenegger (pictured in 2009) is in serious condition at a Los Angeles hospital after a surfing accident last weekend, TMZ reports.
Christopher, 13, was boogie boarding on a beach in Malibu when he suffered an accident that resulted in a collapsed lung, broken bones and broken ribs. Shriver was reportedly on the beach with him when the accident occurred.
"Christopher has been in ICU since Sunday. Maria has not left his side and is sleeping at hopsital," a source tells People. Arnold has visited as well.
Patrick Schwarzenegger, Christopher's older brother, recently tweeted, "Thank you everyone for your messages about my brother. This kid is the strongest kid I ever seen. Keep praying."
