We strongly support a long-term reauthorization of the National Flood Insurance Program, and believe this bill makes appropriate and necessary reforms to address the program's sustainability, affordability and availability. The five-year reauthorization included in the legislation will ensure that the program is reliably available for borrowers seeking to purchase homes in special flood hazard areas where purchase of flood insurance is mandatory. "We look forward to working with lawmakers in the Senate to move this much-needed legislation forward." ### The American Bankers Association is the voice of the nation's $17 trillion banking industry, which is composed of small, midsize, regional and large banks that together employ more than 2 million people, safeguard $13 trillion in deposits and extend more than $9 trillion in loans.

Dropbox, one of the best file sync tools for Windows, Linux and MAC computers does not provide the ability to sync any file or folder outside the "My Dropbox" folder. While you can always choose a custom location for the "My Dropbox" folder, it would have been better if Dropbox could sync any folder placed anywhere on your computer's hard drive.
Let's say you have chosen "F:\My Dropbox" as the installation path of your "My Dropbox" folder. You have a bunch of documents and videos stored in the D drive, which you want to sync with your Dropbox account.
In such situations, you have to copy all the files from the D drive and paste it in the My Dropbox folder e.g "F:\My Dropbox\Videos".
Symbolic Links and Dropbox
As a workaround, you can use the concept of symbolic links to sync any file or folder with your Dropbox account.
A symbolic link is a special type of file that contains a reference to another file or directory in the form of an absolute or relative path. A symbolic link merely contains a text string that is interpreted and followed by the operating system as a path to another file or directory.
Here are the step by step instructions to use Symbolic links With Dropbox:
1. Click the Start menu, type "cmd" in the search box and run it as administrator.
2. In the command prompt window, enter the following command:
MKLINK /D path_to_your_my_dropbox_folderpath_to_folder_to_be_synched
Example: If your "My Dropbox" folder is located in C:\My Documents\My Dropbox and you want to sync D:\Videos with your Dropbox account, you have to enter the following command:
MKLINK /D C:\MyDocuments\MyDropbox\videosD:\videos
3. Hit the return key and a symbolic link of the chosen folder will be created within your "My Dropbox" folder. You can navigate to your My Dropbox folder and see whether the symbolic link has been created or not.
All set, now run the Dropbox client and it will sync files and folders as it normally does. All the files and folders stored in the custom folder will get synced with your Dropbox account via symbolic links.
Note: Deleting the symbolic link from your "My Dropbox" folder will not delete the actual files and folders that are contained in the actual folder. You can add as many symbolic links as you want, there are no restrictions as such.
Overall, this is one of the best ways to sync any file or folder with your Dropbox account. Let us know your thoughts and ideas in the comments section.

Dr. Deming was greatly influenced by Lewis's writings about the relationship between information, experience, theory and knowledge. The importance of operational definitions and the fact that there is no "true value" for anything that you measure are concepts from this book. The importance of the theory of knowledge to management was an outgrowth of Deming's reading of this book in the 1930s.
The book is not an easy read. Some knowledge of basic philosophical thought would be helpful before reading this book. Dr. Walter Shewhart recommended Lewis's book to Deming. Dr. Deming reported that he had to read it a number of times before he understood it. His recommendation was to start at Chapter 6.

John Pearson (1613-1686)
Bishop of Chester
Short Biography by David Watson
In these days of theological confusion, non-commitment, and downright apostasy, it may be some
comfort to reflect that a man whose learning eclipsed that of any living Bishop saw no reason to
doubt, and every reason to believe, the plain statements of Scripture and the historic doctrines of
our faith.
'The Christian religion has very strong evidences . . . I would recommend to everyone whose faith
is unsettled . . . Dr. Pearson.' Thus Dr. Samuel Johnson in 1763, a century after the publication of
John Pearson's Exposition of the Creed which for 250 years remained a standard text for ordinands
in the Church of England. 1986 is the tercentenary of his death. Who was he? What lessons can we
learn from him today?
His whimsically-named birthplace, Snoring, conjures up visions of yawning yokels or a sleepy
squire in the pews of a Sunday morning; but in fact the name Snoring is derived from a river . . . the
Snare. John was the eldest of nine Rectory children, and in after life 'he took occasion very often
and publicly to bless God that he was born and bred in a family in which God was worshipped
daily.' At the tender age of 10 he was admitted to Eton College as one of the 70 'poor scholars',
whose daily regimen might surprise some of us:
5.00 a.m. Get up, dress, repeating prayers. Clean room, wash.
6.00 a.m. Prayers, led by the Lower Master.
7.00 a.m. Study: Latin and Greek.
9.00 a.m. Breakfast.
10.00 a.m. Prayers.
11.00 a.m. Dinner.
12.00 p.m. Study.
5.00 p.m. Supper.
7.00 p.m. Beverages.
8.00 p.m. Bed, saying prayers.
There was 'play' before and after supper only on holidays: and on Christmas Day the boys go to
bed immediately after 7 o'clock because in former times they had to rise between 3 and 4 o'clock
for morning prayer.' Apparently John thought eight hours a day insufficient time for study. His
contemporaries allege that after others were asleep he would light a candle and continue reading . . .
with such diligence that by the age of 18 he had covered most of the Greek and Latin Fathers of the
Church, quite outside the school curriculum. Thus was laid the foundation of that encyclopaedic
learning for which he was later famous: 'among Englishmen of the XVIIth century probably the
ablest scholar and systematic theologian.'
From Eton to Cambridge (Queens' and King's), where he took holy orders, but was soon deprived
of his Suffolk rectory because of his attachment to King Charles in the Civil War. Under the
Commonwealth he withdrew to London and in 1654 accepted an invitation from the parishioners of
St. Clement's, Eastcheap, to deliver a weekly sermon. These sermons form the substance of his Exposition (1659) which has been described as 'the most perfect and complete production of
English dogmatic theology.'
With the Restoration, the fortunes of royalist clergy were reversed. Pearson's genius was recognised
and he was appointed, in quick succession, Master of Jesus College, Cambridge, professor of
theology, and Master of Trinity College. Subsequently he was elected Fellow of the Royal Society;
and Bishop of Chester in 1673. (Ironically, this was also the year in which John Bunyan was
imprisoned for the second time and began Pilgrim's Progress, which has outsold every literary
production of the XVIIth century . . .except the A.V. including Pearson's masterpiece).
Pearson was a man of spotless life and of an excellent temper: Richard Baxter admired his
imperturbable equanimity. . . a rare gift in those days of fierce theological controversy.
Unfortunately, he regarded nonconformists as lost sheep needing to be coerced into the one true
fold . . . the Church of England! This pride and prejudice were no doubt inherited (his grandfather,
too, had been Bishop of Chester); but the same tenacity for tradition was an invaluable asset when it
came to expounding the Creed. From his Introduction, 'To the Parishioners of St. Clement's,
Eastcheap: 'The (first) principles of Christianity are now as freely questioned as the most doubtful
and controverted points; the grounds of faith are as safely denied as the most unnecessary
superstructions (i.e. secondary matters); that religion has the greatest advantage which appeareth in
the newest dress, as if we looked for another faith to be delivered to the saints: whereas in
Christianity there can be no important truth which is not ancient; and whatsoever is truly new,
is certainly false."
He goes on to support the Apostles' Creed with more than 2,000 quotations from Scripture, and
another 2,000 from 440 ancient authors. His defence of the Virgin Birth and Resurrection is as
relevant today as it was in 1660; and his insistence on a literal interpretation of Genesis, and the
doctrine of a Young Earth is also of contemporary interest:
1) ' . . . there is no single person carries more evidence of his youth, than the World of its novelty.'
He then quotes the Roman atheist philosopher/poet Lucretius:"If earth and sky had no starting point in time (or if homo sapiens has been around for two million
years) why have no poets sung of feats before the Theban war and the tragedy of Troy? Why have
so many heroic deeds dropped out of mind and found no shrine in lasting monuments of fame? The
answer is, I believe, that this world is newly made: its origin is a recent event, not one of remote
antiquity. That is why even now some arts are still being perfected: the process of development is
still going on . . ."
2) Pearson examines the claims of Egypt to a great antiquity 'far beyond the annals of Moses', and
concludes that they are false. 'Again, for the calculation of eclipses, as it may be made for many
thousands of years to come, and be exactly true, and yet the world may end tomorrow . . . so may it
also be made for many millions of years past, and all be true, if the World hath been so old; which
the calculating doth not prove, but suppose. He then who should see in the Egyptian temples the
description of so many eclipses of the sun and moon, could not be assured that they were all taken
from real observation . . . . What then are these feigned observations and fabulous descriptions of
the World's antiquity, in respect (compared with) not only the infallible annals of the Spirit of God,
but even of the constant testimonies of more sober men, and the real appearances and face of things,
which speak them of a far shorter date?'
3) 'The inventions of all arts and sciences, the letters which we use, and languages which we speak,
they all have known originals and may be traced to their first authors . . . whatsoever all the Muses
(i.e. poets) could rehearse before those times, is nothing but the creation of the World and the
nativity of their gods.'
4) 'We read without any show of contradiction how this western part of the world hath been
peopled from the east: and all the pretence of Babylonian antiquity is nothing else, but that we all
came from thence. Those eight persons saved in the ark, descending from the Gordiaean mountains
and multiplying to a large collection in the plain of Sinaar, made their first division at that place;
and that dispersion hath peopled all other parts of the world . . . .'
5) '. . . it is not probable that any person now alive is more than 130 generations removed from
Adam. And indeed thus admitting the Greek account of less than 5,000 years since the Flood, we
may easily bring all sober or probable accounts of the Egyptians, Babylonians and Chinese (sic) to
begin since the dispersion at Babel.'
6) Pearson refutes those philosophers who allege frequent destructions of the world by floods and
fires. Their theories, he says, 'serve only for a confirmation of Noah's flood so many ages past, and
the surer expectation of St Peter's fire, we know not how soon to come.'
Conclusion 'It remaineth then that we steadfastly believe, not only that the "heavens and earth and
all the host of them" were made, and so acknowledge a creation; . . . but also that all things were
created by the hand of God in the same manner, and at the same time, which are delivered unto
us in the books of Moses by the Spirit of God, and so acknowledge a novity, or no long existence of
the creature . . . most certainly within not more than six, or at farthest seven, thousand years." (emphasis added)
One final question: why has Pearson's Exposition of the Creed not been reprinted since the
Cambridge University Press edition in 1899? 1 suggest two possible answers: 1) the decline of
classical studies has put his Greek and Latin footnotes beyond the reach of many clergymen; 2) the
general acceptance of Darwinism as gospel truth has led Church committees to regard as obsolete
his chapter on 'Maker of heaven and earth'. If (2) be correct, then it is time for a rehabilitation of
Pearson as of William Paley. His arguments for man's recent creation are as cogent today as Paley's
arguments for Design in nature. Both authors deserve to be remembered, re-printed and re-viewed
by the new generation of Christian scholars now emerging from a century of Darwinian darkness.

Is design on the ropes?
I see it every single day: images posted on the web, on TV, in magazines. It seems everywhere you look that the message being reported or being shown or editorialized is the most important thing. And that's fine, but it's almost always being accompanied by an image where the designer(s) took shortcuts to make it.
It makes for throwaway designs. After all, in these cases they're used just once. Who cares if they appear cheap? I do.
We live in product-transient society anymore. Things we use are disposable. Everything about American contemporary living reflects this "paper plate" mentality: disposable plastic bags and cartons, paper cups and plates, frozen meals, paper napkins and facial tissues, etc. just to name the "consumables". Then we have items that are cheaper to buy new (or otherwise replace) than to repair, like a toaster or a cell phone or or even a car. We don't think about this anymore, don't seriously consider what we might toss in the trash. Is this "thing" recyclable?
Well it certainly appears that certain design is considered disposable. The above visuals are evidence of that thinking. And this kind of design thinking is very omnipresent. Some of it is the result of time expediency. But a lot of it is not.
The image at left is from a report I saw recently on television about an employee at Charlotte Douglas International Airport who takes it upon herself to be a vocal beacon of hospitality, her almost sing-song welcoming making the news. The video was recorded by a visitor to the airport and apparently submitted to the news station in Charlotte, then forwarded to CNN by the affiliate.
Notice the clear image in the center flanked by a fuzzy image on either side. You see this all the time nowadays. The cell phone recorded video's perimeter is obviously limited by the confines of the cell phone's screen, so in order to make the video presentable on TV, the graphic designer at the TV station fleshes out the 16:9 proportion by adding a section of the video behind the main image, enlarging it and then blurring it.
I'd seen this kind of design a long time ago in a book about web design. I don't know who first decided this was a way to do what they felt was good design in that book, or what mindset they drew on, or what design school might've taught design that way. But it smacks of not having enough of one of two things: image resources or time.
In the web design book I had, time was obviously not a factor. Therefore not having enough image resources is no excuse. There are tons of stock photography available. In the above usage for TV, I can see that time was definitely a factor, but I also think there could've been a way to crop the video to make it look more presentable. Why not crop it in a bordered horizontal frame and place it in the center of the screen?
But TV stations and even CNN don't even think about it. They do what we see above every time, like it's a programmed format they use for any video that's phoned in. Maybe the person shooting that video could've shot it with his/her phone held horizontally. I'm just tired of seeing this cheap way of fleshing out the screen. It isn't necessary. It doesn't make the video appear larger that it is.
As for the image at right, this is just garbage. It's from an article in a magazine, showing a person drinking a beverage. This has become my newest rant in design: doing "designed" illustration the cheapest way possible, using simple geometric shapes, including a letterform (yes, that's a cap J used as an arm on the eyeglasses), all as shortcuts to expedite an image's production value. And this, people, is the extent of contemporary illustration. Wow.
Makes you wonder, as a designer. Does anyone care about design anymore? Is function everything now?
I believe the use of expedients should not be a practice. Expedients are one thing if they're needed in an extreme time crunch. They are another if time is not a factor, and that's just cheap.

Lawn Seeding Topsoil
- Price from: £94.60
- Availability: In Stock
Can be Used For :
Lawn Seeding Topsoil (bulk bag or 25 x 25L bags)
A high-quality topsoil, finely sieved making it perfect for seeding a new lawn or improving the quality of existing grass. Rich in nutrients and organic matter, Lawn Seeding Topsoil will give the best start for establishing a beautiful lush green lawn. The bulk bag contains approximately 800kg of lawn seeding topsoil.
Preparing the ground is key when establishing a lawn from seed. By having the correct soil in place to sow onto, superb results can be achieved at a fraction of the cost of laying new turf.
The best time to sow grass seed is during early autumn and mid-spring when the soil is at the right temperature and the British weather patterns suit. Germination normally occurs between seven and 10 days after sowing (subject to seed type and watering schedules) giving time to establish a sward and root growth before the first frosts in late autumn or warm and dry spells in the summer months.

Ireland's Top 100 Ranked Golf Courses – What are the best courses to play?' more
Javier Ballesteros, eldest son of the late, great Seve Ballesteros, will make his European Challenge Tour debut in the inaugural Challenge de Madrid from 24-27 April.
Ballesteros, who won the amateur Madrid Open last year, is yet to join the professional ranks and will compete as a sponsor's invitation in the €160,000 tournament, which is the first Challenge Tour event of the 2013 season to be played on European soil.
The 22 year old, who is currently studying Law at Madrid's Complutense University, made his first appearance in a professional event at the Peugeot Alps de Barcelona on the Alps Tour last April, when he finished in a tie for 12th place, 12 shots behind European Tour champion Pablo Larrazábal.
Ballesteros will be joined in the field by Jordi Garcia Pinto, currently second in the Challenge Tour Rankings thanks to his victory in the Barclays Kenya Open; and their compatriot Pedro Oriol, who recorded his highest European Tour finish of tied 16th in the 2011 Madrid Masters at El Encín Golf Hotel, host venue of the Challenge de Madrid.
Oriol said: "I am doubly grateful to the Madrid and Spanish Federations, as I am member of their youth programmes which have helped me a lot. If I can achieve my aim of becoming a world-class player, they know I will always be there for them.
"El Encín is a course that suits my game – I had my best finish on Tour there at the Madrid Masters, and I hope I can do well this time. I want to thank the Federations for their efforts with this event, and also with the invitations they give us to play in other countries."
Ignacio Guerras, President of Federación de Golf de Madrid, said: "El Encin Golf is such a great venue, it will be a true test and it is very satisfying to see the quality of players who will be there."
Joaquín Molpeceres, President of El Encín Golf Hotel, said: "We care passionately about the golf course, and are very excited to be hosting such a well-organised tournament as the Challenge de Madrid."
Jorge Sagardoy, Manager of the Royal Spanish Golf Federation, said: "The idea to hold a Challenge Tour event in Madrid came to us some time ago, and I would like to congratulate the Madrid and Cataluña Federations for joining forces."
Amadeo Ferrajolí, Manager at Federación Cataluña de Golf, said: "We very much appreciate this agreement. We have some high class young players in Spain, and the more events like this that they play, the better chance they have of reaching the main Tour.
"There will be six players from Cataluña, including Jordi Garcia Pinto, and we hope to see him and many other Spanish players on the main Tour soon."
Javier Gervás, from the tournament promoters MatchGolf, said: "It is one of the strongest fields assembled for a Challenge Tour event. This was made possible thanks to the union of the three Federations, and the support of El Encin Golf. Thanks to the support of the Federations, this year we will have two events on the Challenge Tour and four on the Alps Tour.
"I would also like to congratulate the Challenge Tour on reaching their 25th anniversary. This is the Tour of opportunities, where the players can follow the examples of Edoardo Molinari, Justin Rose, Alvaro Quiros and Martin Kaymer."

: Mom's Weight, Blood Sugar Levels May Affect Newborn's Size
Posted March 18, 2016
By Amy Norton
HealthDay Reporter
TUESDAY, March 15, 2016 (HealthDay News) -- Being overweight or obese during pregnancy may mean higher weights in newborns, a new study suggests.
Researchers have long known that heavier moms-to-be tend to have bigger babies. But it hasn't been clear that the extra pounds, per se, are the reason.
So the new study, reported March 15 in the Journal of the American Medical Association, dove into the genetics of the issue.
Using genetic information from more than 30,000 women, researchers found that women who carried more obesity-related gene variants tended to give birth to bigger babies.
The same was true when the researchers considered mothers' genetic vulnerability toward having high blood sugar -- a precursor to type 2 diabetes. On the other hand, women with many gene variants tied to high blood pressure tended to have smaller newborns.
The findings offer good evidence that heavier weight and higher blood sugar in moms directly cause higher birth weight, according to Rachel Freathy, one of the researchers on the study. She's a fellow at the University of Exeter Medical School, in the United Kingdom.
"Genetic association is stronger evidence of cause-effect than just measuring body mass index, glucose [blood sugar] or blood pressure," Freathy explained.
That's because a woman's weight is influenced by education, diet, smoking and other lifestyle factors, Freathy said -- and those factors also affect her baby's birth weight.
"But a genetic 'score' for blood pressure, [obesity] or glucose is not influenced by these lifestyle factors," she said.
The findings are based on genetic data from women who took part in 18 studies conducted in Europe, North America and Australia.
Freathy's team assigned each woman "genetic scores" for obesity [before pregnancy], blood sugar, blood pressure, and cholesterol and triglyceride levels. So, a woman who carried a large number of genes related to obesity, for example, would have a higher genetic score for that trait.
Overall, the study found, babies' birth weight rose in tandem with mothers' genetic scores for obesity and blood sugar.
For example, each standard deviation in the obesity score -- about a 4-point increase in a woman's body mass index (BMI) -- was related to an extra 2 ounces in a newborn's birth weight, the study said.
Body mass index is a rough estimate of a person's body fat based on height and weight measurements. A BMI of 18.5 to 24.9 is considered normal, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
The researchers also found that for every 10-point increase in a woman's systolic blood pressure meant a 7-ounce drop in her baby's birth weight. Systolic is the top number in a blood pressure reading.
It makes sense that higher blood pressure scores would be related to lower birth weight, said Dr. Jennifer Wu. She's an obstetrician at Lenox Hill Hospital, in New York City.
That's because high blood pressure appears to restrict fetal growth, explained Wu. She wasn't involved in the current research.
Wu agreed that the genetic associations in this study strengthen the case that a pregnant woman's weight, blood sugar and blood pressure all directly affect her newborn's weight.
The findings also support what's already recommended for a healthy pregnancy, Wu said.
"It's very important that women go into pregnancy at a healthy weight," she said. Women who are obese, or show spikes in blood pressure or blood sugar during pregnancy, will likely need extra monitoring, Wu added.
"We want babies to be a healthy weight, not too heavy and not too light," Freathy said.
The researchers said they plan to tackle the next big question: Do the effects of mothers' weight, blood sugar and blood pressure on newborns' weight eventually translate into health effects later in life?
For now, Freathy agreed that the findings underscore the importance of maintaining a healthy weight through diet and exercise -- before and during pregnancy.
She also stressed that pregnant women should have regular prenatal care, including routine blood pressure and blood sugar checks.

The Invention of Art: A Cultural History
Format: Paperback, 362 pp
Pub. Date: April 2003
Publisher: University of Chicago Press
From The Critics:
"University of Illinois philosophy professor Shiner (The Secret Mirror, etc.) spent over a decade honing what he calls a "brief history of the idea of art." This carefully prepared and given the extent and complexity of what he is discussing admirably concise, well-organized book is the result. Looking forward as much as backward, Shiner finds that "the category of fine art is a recent historical construction that could disappear in its turn."
He plausibly traces the 18th-century division between "so-called polite and vulgar arts" from a time when music, for example, was played at home or for "religious and civic occasions" to when it started to be played in concerts with no other goal than artistic enjoyment in and of itself: "On this high cultural ground, noble and bourgeois could meet as a fine art public, rejecting both the frivolous diversions of the rich and highborn as well as the vulgar amusements of the populace."
It was the beginning of art as we experience it today. Shiner cites examples from a wide range of forms, including Shakespeare's plays, Greek drama, Cellini's sculptures and Michelangelo's paintings. He also discusses Asian art, pointing out how "the Japanese language had no collective noun for `art' in our sense until the nineteenth century" and establishes that the phrase "Chinese art" is also a relatively recent invention, since before the 19th century no one in China "grouped painting, sculpture, ceramics, and calligraphy together as objects" with something determinate in common.
Essentially optimistic in tone, this book argues that people who complain about the "death of art" are really just failing to measure "the staying power of the established art system." A must for larger art collections, Shiner's text is scholarly but accessible, and should appeal to readers with even a dabbler's interest in art theory." Publishers Weekly.
Secret Mirror: Literary Form and History in Tocqueville's "Recollections"
Format: Hardcover, 248 pp
Pub. Date: August 1988
Publisher: Cornell University Press
From the Publisher:
"Shiner examines the 'Recollections' as a test case of the relation between form and content in historical writing. Drawing on current literary theory and semiotics, Shiner offers a close reading which at once confirms the inevitably literary character of historical writing and demonstrates how historical analysis of Tocqueville's writings deepens our understanding of his political thought."
The Secularization of History: An Introduction to the Theology of Friedrich Gogarten
ISBN: n/a
Format: Hardcover, 236 pp
Pub. Date: 1966
Publisher: Abingdon Press
A penetrating analysis of the thought of Friedrich Gogarten that provides a sound basis for grasping the important facets of his theology, especially those that contribute to the current interest in secular theology. In his introduction, Dr. Shiner sets the stage by pointing to the relevance of Gogarten and showing some of the lines of influence he generated. He then presents the core of Gogarten's thought, the secularizing and historicizing influence of the Christian faith.
This book provides important background for those attempting to understand secular theology and the "God is dead" movement by developing the relation of Gogarten's thought to such popular American theological writers as Harvey Cox, William Hamilton, and Paul van Buren.
[content missing] burdened a fundamental right. But tested by the Establishment Clause, statutes may violate the Constitution by implicitly endorsing a religious belief, namely, the personhood of the unborn. Wenz concludes that the Establishment Clause permits abortions prior to the twenty-first week of pregnancy."
—C. Herman Prichett, Professor of Political Science Emeritus, University of California, Santa Barbara
Dr. Shiner compares Gogarten's response to the problems of secularization with other basic responses in his conclusion. An appendix gives a survey of Gogarten's writings prior to and including the World War II period. This book should be a great help to those English-speaking theologians desiring to know more about this influential German thinker.
Dr. Shiner has also published a number of articles in French philosophy, philosophy of religion, philosophy of history, philosophy of art, such as "Primitive Fakes, Tourist Art, and the Ideology of Authenticity," Journal of Aesthetics and Art Criticism, Vol. 52, 1994).

Contact: Sasha Steinberg
STARKVILLE, Miss.—Four Mississippi State administrators and faculty members are among 52 selected as 2016-17 Southeastern Conference Academic Leadership Development Program Fellows.
Since its inception in 2008, the professional development program has worked to identify, prepare and professionally advance academic leaders for key roles at each of the 14 SEC-member universities.
MSU will host an SEC ALDP workshop Feb. 22-24, 2017, on the Starkville campus.
The MSU honorees include:
—Angi Bourgeois, head of the College of Architecture, Art and Design's Department of Art;
—Teresa Jayroe, associate dean of the College of Education;
—Melissa Moore, head of the College of Business' Department of Marketing, Quantitative Analysis and Business Law; and
—Scott Willard, associate dean of the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences.
Through this academic initiative, the SEC works to sponsor, support and promote collaborative higher education programs and activities involving administrators, faculty and students. Providing an online platform to showcase achievements of these individuals on regional, national and international levels is among its primary missions.
"The opportunity to network with academic leaders across the 14 SEC universities has proven to be an excellent experience for all who have participated," said MSU Provost and Executive Vice President Judy Bonner. "We look forward to hosting the conference for the faculty fellows on our campus in February."
Designated by provosts at the respective institutions, ALDP liaisons serve as the conference's primary point of academic contact.
"It is our strong belief that helping to prepare administrators for the next phase of their careers has the potential to impact all of higher education, both now and in the future," said SEC Commissioner Greg Sankey. "Our universities make a significant investment in these individuals, and we are proud to work with them through this program."
Bourgeois, who has headed the Magnolia State's largest undergraduate studio art program on an interim basis since 2014, began her permanent appointment this past July. Since joining the Mississippi State faculty in 2002, the Rhodes College and Emory University graduate has taught a variety of art history courses and has climbed the academic ranks with a promotion to professor coinciding with her new appointment. Earlier this year, she was elected to a two-year term as secretary for the Italian Arts Society, an international scholarly organization where she has been a member since 2004.
Jayroe, who earned bachelor's and master's degrees in elementary education from MSU, always wanted to become a teacher. After teaching for 12 years at Philadelphia and Winston county public schools, she returned to her alma mater to begin work on an education specialist degree in educational leadership and also completed a doctorate in curriculum and instruction.

I've played this game, and while it has some interesting, mechanically-fiddly things going on that aren't my normal cup of tea (remember, I am a Savage Worlds kind of guy, so more complex rules sets aren't my usual first choice), I readily see how the setting and experience is compelling. The game-setting has a legion of fans, in great part due to being something both unique and effective in a hobby where it pays to stand apart from the crowd.
HC SVNT DRACONES: Core Extended brings your HSD game up to the next level. Contained within this book are over two dozen new playable character options, new surgeries, new focus abilities and implants, additional playable races beyond Vectors, and lore detail to help players and Guides alike get a better grip on their world. All these features can slot into existing HSD games to provide greater depth and variety to your gameplay.
Core:Extended is an expansion to the HC SVNT DRACONES role playing game, and as such you will require the core rulebook to play. Rules included in C:E can be applied to existing campaigns immediately with no need to make new characters (though with all the new options, you may want to just to be someone new!) C:E also includes the C:E combat addendum, which changes the way combat works in HSD.

The following companies have not signed on to PETA's caring consumers list; meaning that they have NOT stated they don't test on animals. These are the major companies, and the brand products they own.
This is where it gets confusing. L'Oreal owns brands such as Khiels, The Body Shop and Shu Umera but they do not manufacture them. They all have strict 'non animal testing' policies. So it comes down to the consumer: Do you want to buy a cruelty free product from Khiel's knowing that the money you spend goes to a company that does test?
Be warned:
Chesebrough- Ponds
- Ponds
- Vaseline
Proctor & Gamble
- Claroil
- Herbal Essences
- CoverGirl
- Max Factor

- Colgate
- Clean & Clear
- Neutrogena
- Biotherm
- Garnier
- Georgio Armarni
- Lancome
- Maybelline
- Redken
- Dove
- Sunsilk
Have a look at these videos on the PETA website. If you need convincing. Which I hope you dont.
Why bother with any products from the above list, when there are so many fantastic products those DO NOT test on animals? Some of these brands include:
- Almay
- Avon
- Bobbi Brown
- Bonne Bell
- Bumble & Bumble
- Burts Bees
- Chanel
- Clarins
- Clinique
- Dermatelogica
- Estee Lauder
- Goldwell
- Jo Malone
- Jurlique
- La Mer
- L'Occitane
- Nivea
- Palmers
- Revlon
- Stila
For the complete Consumer Lists click here. Unfortuneately, many brands are not on either list. Rules and regulations are very complex. If you have a favourite brand that isn't featured, I would suggest researching further on the internet, emailing and calling to ask why they haven't contacted PETA if they claim to be cruelty free. Be as specific as possible. Ask about specific products AND ingredients.
Animal Testing goes further than cosmetic use. There are also medicinal and research issues. The linked lists also include a wide range of hygeine products such as soaps, toothpastes, laundrey products and general cleaning items. These types of products contain the most chemicals and are obviously the most painful for animals that are trapped in labretories and tested on. Even certain pet food brands (eg. IAMS) are tested on animals?! WTF. But that is enough for a whole other post....

When I came back to BW and started playing 1v1 and watching SRTs during the Sonic era, I quickly became a bigger fan of the game than even I anticipated. What was a small incursion into BW, a re-visitation of a game that I spent a long time in the past playing money maps in, became an invasion of a sort haha. Coming from Starcraft II and seeing competitive BW in a brand new light was something else. I was enthralled by the beauty of it all and followed the scene closely since.
From SRT and SSL to KSL, VNSL and now ASL, the scene has gradually grown since. BW even came back to OGN for 2 seasons in 2014/15 and even OGN was surprised by its reception. We've seen group selection ceremonies again, players playing their hearts out on new maps and to top things off, we even got a mini-proleague in ATB. BW was only going up and with the announcement of Starcraft Remastered, it was a time of extreme caution but it also seemed like the dev team and Blizzard as a whole finally understood BW's legacy.
Alas, I personally believe that remastered actually did a lot more harm to the scene than some folks realize. Sure, remastered gave the foreign scene a small boost. We had 2 LANs, more online tourneys running simultaneously than we've had in ages and we've had some new players/viewers who were interested in finally trying out the game or watching ASL. However, the cost was too great, too severe for the korean scene which was slowly building itself.
Since remastered went live, things haven't been as swell as anticipated. Remastered was released in a terrible state. There really can't be enough of an emphasis on this. Bugs, lag, simple commands or profiles not working and on top of that, SD graphics which were something that I love about BW seemed like a mere afterthought for the dev team. It's almost like no one thought that someone out there would like to continue playing with the older graphics but on a ladder or with MM. This doesn't even include some of the new errors that were introduced to a game that worked like a horse in the past. Nowadays, my computer steams if I try to play for even 15 minutes straight. I never had problems with 1.16.1, even when I was running other apps with it. Nevermind that the blizzard launcher is also drain that's honestly terrible and not needed imo.
The foreign base has gotten a bit split up between ICCup and the official servers while the Korean scene lost fish. Sure, they were not the greatest folks from what I hear but still a loss regardless. Some new, old and returning players quit due to the various bugs that were frustrating to deal with. Projects like Shieldbattery went on indefinite hiatus (still being worked on though!) and programs such as mcalauncher and canrep were now pretty useless to use which is ironic because these programs easily outdid what Blizzard was trying to implement by a milestone. How is it that Blizzard still hasn't managed to match or outdo some of this stuff is beyond me.
This doesn't even include the fact that some of the HD graphics such as marines and some of the death animations are totally different from the original and lack the same wow factor. Tanks blow up as if they were nukes, same goes for pylons etc...
Above all though, the biggest loss for the scene imo was our autonomy.
Previous tournaments ran without a hitch but with RM being released, we've lost Afreeca Team Battle which was a huge loss. Add in the fact that Blizzard is making it extremely difficult for Afreeca to run ASL and all of a sudden, things look extremely grim. The most important tournament for the current scene threatened by Blizzard, enough for their CEO to make a plea to the fans to help them out. Whether some find that distasteful is beyond the point here.
From my perspective, the Korean BW scene has taken a huge step back and that's extremely unfortunate. Our main tournament was threatened and it seems like Blizzard still doesn't seem to understand what the fans want or they are pretty terrible at finding ways to help their bottom line as well as make the fans happy. The dev team is trekking on and seem to be trying their best so props to them but close to half a year after the game was released, there are still ongoing issues.
Add in the fact that the Korean scene still hasn't recovered and has been affected quite severely and it's a nightmare. At this point, I keep wondering what'll happen next. In my mind, ATB is gone for good and there's no telling when ASL will be next as well. ASL5 should be starting sooner than later, considering they were accepting map submissions so I guess that's a positive note at least.
In the end, I don't believe that BW will ever die even if Blizzard took away ASL as well. We'll just go back to the old SRT days where there were a lot of smaller online tournaments. Slowly but surely, the scene will build itself up again but at what cost?

Moffat County track and field athletes seeking state qualifications
Moffat County's track team is entering the home stretch of its season, and many athletes are looking to hold on to or earn a state qualification.
According to Colorado High School Activities Association rules for track and field, the top 18 athletes or teams in a given event qualify for the state meet preliminaries. Moffat County has several runners and relay teams that look to be comfortably in the top 18, but a host of others will be fighting to sneak into the state group or hold off their closest competitors and stay in.
With just two meets left in the season for the Bulldogs, every aspect of the events — from starts in the races to perfect form in the field — feels especially important. Because of that, the athletes are focusing on specific events.
"This weekend, we're really focusing on the relays on the guys side," head coach Todd Trapp said. "The 4×1, 4×2 and 4×4 are all right there. Other teams are going to be dropping time, so we've got to drop time."
The sprint relays and a couple of open events will be key for the boys. In the boys 100, Kelly Campbell has the 11th-best time in the state, but there's only about 0.2 second between him and 18th place. Alan Flores currently sits 23rd in the state, less than a tenth of a second behind the final qualifying spot. Campbell is 0.2 second away in the 200, and the Bulldogs currently sit 14th in the 4×100, 15th in the 4×200 and 20th in the 4×400, needing less than a second to get into the top 18.
"We need better handoffs," Campbell said about the relays. "That's really where all our maintenance has been, is with the handoffs."
Campbell is running the 200 this weekend in addition to relays and said he needs to have good starts and finish the right way to have success in the individual races.
Kayla Pinnt, Lauren Samuelson and Leah Kalik all would need to drop two to three seconds to set a good qualifying time in the individual 400.
In the distance events, Eryn Leonard will run her first 3,200 of the season this weekend, with plans of hitting a state-qualifying time. Leonard will need to run about 12:25 or faster to put herself in good position.
It is important to keep improving, Trapp said, because the weather is at its best of the season, and runners across the state also will be dropping the times.
"Anyone who's on the borderline right now, if you're not dropping (time), you're going to be out," he said. "You're never safe, especially this time of the year."
In field events, several Bulldogs need a bit more distance to reach the qualifying standard.
Miguel Cruz cleared 6 feet in high jump at the junior varsity meet Thursday in Grand Junction. Duplicating that effort in a varsity meet would give him a great shot at making it to Denver.
In the long jump, Ary Shaffer needs to increase her best jump by about 6 inches, and Matt Hamilton needs 4 inches to crack the state group.
Emily White and Nicole Sollenberger are in the top 40 in discus this season, and a throw of 100 feet would move them into the state competition for the time being. On the boys side, Gaven Spears and Dylan Villa are in a similar situation, each needing just a couple feet to reach the top 18.
Coach Lance Scranton said it will require a big throw to make it, but the recent weather has benefited the Bulldogs greatly.
"With the warmer weather, we've been climbing as far as PRs (personal records)," Scranton said. "We've been able to get more reps in the ring, and the last couple weeks have been really good. We need more of that."
Moffat County competes at the Tiger Invitational on Friday and Saturday at Colorado Mesa University before the Western Slope League meet May 10 and 11, also at CMU.

Jan 30, 2014
Dear friends,As discussed earlier, I had a beautiful meditation session early morning yesterday.
As we grow up and try to test out boundaries as to what we are beyond our parents world, we tend to experiment outside of our comfort zone--what is generally called teenage aggression. This phase sometimes tend to create clashes with the original authorities--our parents or guardians.
As we settle into our new-found personality, slowly our parental ties take on a new dimension. Sometimes this does not happen or strains of the earlier conflict seem to linger. Yet realignment of the parent connection is necessary for us to grow as an individual. Else we get trapped in the rebellious child mindset even beyond our parent's years.
What seems to be called for at the moment is to visualize them as being in a happy place, wherever they are.If one feels like, one may dedicate a few minutes every day, for the next seven days, to do the "Hooponopono" for any one of the parents.
Additional update to query:
If we had small differences with parents or any of them then
how does this block the current life?Does it impact your day to day current activities?
Whether the difference at that time was small or big, what memory either in the form of belief, moral values, fear, anger..whatever that which we stored is what shapes the current reality.
As we had discussed earlier, the father-mother relationship forms the crux of all our relationships.
The provider relationship ( father child relationship) is recreated in adulthood in our relationship with money or career.
The nurturer relationship (mother child relationship) is recreated in our life-partner relationships.
While the bond between the parents, the dynamics of that relationship--who was dominant, who played what role, who treated the other how--this forms our belief about marital relationships.
As it is no parent is perfect. so we may find some blockages in those parts acting up in our current life. We might not be aware how. If you see, all religions also have some parent-related ritual or ceremonies as part of their cleansing rituals.
Hence if we can do the hooponopono it would help bring some level of comfort.
Jan 27, 2014As discussed earlier, I had a beautiful meditation session early morning today.
The meditation was from 4 am to 5 am.
As I focused on all of you who had requested for healing, I got a couple of distinct messages, which I would like to share with all of you.
The first message was of letting go.
It seems many of us are going through a phase where letting go of old ideas, behaviors, or nonworking relationships, or maybe even unused clothes are getting to be a problem. There is too much attachment, and resistance to change.
It would be a good idea to start cleansing your homes, immediate environment of unnecessary hoarding. Take a single step today towards clutterclearing--it may be something as simple as cleaning up your table drawer or your PC desktop. A physical clearing will make it easier to let go of emotional stuff as well.
The second message that came up was a feeling of constraint, restriction--Many of us are feeling limited--financially, physically or emotionally. Limitations are good to create disciple. HOwever when limitations become too constricting, we see it effecting our physical and mental well-being. One of the first manifestation of this, is in the form of respiratory illnesses--sinus problems, lung issues, etc.
One way to deal with it would be to take deep breaths.
Dedicate some time --maybe 10 minutes every day to practice deep breathing. Practice Belly Breathing, pranayam, kapalbati.

(CMT Offstage keeps a 24/7 watch on everything that's happening with country music artists behind the scenes and out of the spotlight.)
By now, anyone who loves Keith Urban has seen the recent pictures of him and his wife Nicole Kidman and their older daughter Sunday doing a little shopping in New York City's hip SoHo 'hood. But I think there's an even more important shopping story here. Kidman set up a Rue La La sale so that anyone who shops online at her Doing a Little Good Boutique will be doing a lot of good for the Stanford Women's Cancer Center. And I think Kidman knows that her shopping sense is an important skill and one she has already passed down to Sunday. She says the 3-year-old "just happens to be absolutely obsessed and delighted with clothes, shoes, and jewelry — anything that sparkles," she told Rue La La. As for her holiday plans with Urban and their kids, Kidman said, "We decorate, we snuggle, we go to church, we see friends and family. And we try to remember that Christmas is not all about the presents. It's a time to reflect."

Is Kim Kardashian about to become a videogame star
Kim has been teasing her fans with new pictures on Instagram, one of which showed the reality TV star posed at a microphone in a studio, as she prepares to lend her voice to a new project.
"Excited about this new project #ComingSoon #KimKardashianGame", Kim captioned the snap.
The second picture showed Kim in animated form, with her character on a red carpet. The Hollywood sign in the background has been changed to read Kardashian, in a mock take on the family"s power across the globe.
Writing alongside the picture, she reiterated the Kim Kardashian Videogame hashtag, and added: "Sneak peek from my upcoming project! Super excited about this! #KimKardashianGame"
It"s a busy time for the Keeping Up With The Kardashian"s star, who recently married her long-term partner Kanye West.
The pair visited Ireland for their honeymoon before jetting off to Mexico for a second honeymoon for some serious rest and relaxation.
Kim showed off her toned and healthy body, and the reality TV queen shared a snap of the beautiful setting, complete with the sea, a palm tree, their poolside drinks and sunglasses.
Just in case her fans were in any doubt, Kim wrote on Instagram: "No better place to be…Thank you Joe Francis!!!! #CasaAramara #PuntaMita".
The couple also celebrated their baby daughter North"s first birthday this past Sunday, which was also Kanye"s first Father"s Day.
To celebrate the occasion, proud mummy Kim shared a very sweet snapshot on Instagram of the rapper and little Nori sleeping peacefully together.
"This is what life is about!" she wrote next to the photo. "Our baby girl turned 1 today! We played so hard they passed out while we were watching the game! Happy Father's Day to the best daddy in the world!"

Call For Vigilance: New Push For Tax Increase ComingApr 24, 2008
The General Assembly was back yesterday for its one day "veto session" (click here to contact your delegate or here to contact your senator). They reviewed and responded to amendments to bills, particularly the budget, made by Governor Tim Kaine (click here to contact him). On Tuesday, we distributed a press release (click here to read) urging the General Assembly to reject proposed increases in gas or sales taxes, or other schemes that would burden Virginia's taxpayers. Unfortunately, the governor said on his monthly "Ask The Governor" radio call-in show on Richmond station WRVA-AM this morning, that he is poised to call a special session for sometime in June to deal with transportation issues. Tax increases will be proposed and pushed, maybe even rammed down legislators' throats. Senate Majority Leader Dick ("There will never be enough money in the budget") Saslaw (D-35, Springfield) is back at it with his witticisms, saying in today's Richmond Times-Dispatch, "We've been searching for the last 20 years to find a contractor willing to lay asphalt for free. We haven't found one yet."
Translation: Don't just hold on to your wallets. Add extra security to your bank accounts. The unapologetic tax-raising senator tried to pass a one-cent-a-year-for-five-years gas tax increase this past session. He argued that gas taxes don't affect the price at the pump and that no one will notice it anyway, so why not sock the tax payers?
Which made me think this: If it doesn't affect the price, senator, and no one will notice, why phase it in over five years? Why make the gas retailers go through the hassle of yearly adjustments? Just add it all at once. In fact, why stop at five cents? Clearly, his idea for a phase-in reveals his deception. More proof a tax is coming: Even the governor said he wants something "statewide, simple, sufficient." If that isn't code for gas tax increase, what is?
Can anyone think of a worse time in the Commonwealth's history to raise taxes on Virginia's working families than when they are already struggling to make ends meet in a sluggish economy? When a gallon of gas already costs more than $3.50 and is rising?
Adding additional tax burdens to these families while they are already having a hard time filling the car with gas, paying the mortgage or just taking care of daily necessities is reckless and dangerous. The General Assembly has failed to control its spending habits for two decades and has put our Commonwealth in this position. Asking working families to bail them out is arrogant and foolish.
A tax hike scheme, whether statewide, regional, renamed or repackaged is still a tax hike and will hurt our families and our economy.
Difficult times call for strong leadership and wise decision making. Simply passing the burden onto the taxpayers because some elected officials lack the courage to slow the rate of spending will make matters yet worse (as we saw in the passage of the patently obvious unconstitutional taxation-without-representation regional transportation authorities). Whether they like it or not, our legislators are going to have to reduce spending or face a continuing economic crisis. We simply cannot continue to fund the rate of growth they seek without damaging the economic well being of working families.
