How does the trip scheduling process work?
Teachers and group leaders apply by filling out and submitting the application as early as possible. When we receive your application we will schedule you for a specific date and then email or mail you a confirmation letter with more information about the program, location, times, and directions. If any of your plans or needs change before the confirmation letter is received, feel free to contact us and we will do our best to accommodate you.
When are the application deadlines?
There are no deadlines. However, we prefer to receive your application at LEAST 3 weeks before your preferred dates so that we may schedule your and our teachers properly. You may schedule up to two months in advance.
How do I know which programs are right for my class/group?
Our programs are very flexible and are designed to be appealing to all types of groups. If you are unsure about which programs will be best for your class, give us a call and we can discuss your options. All lessons will develop scientific skills and some will have math, geography, reading, writing, and art components.
What if my class is larger than the maximum number allowed for the program?
For our program to be most effective, we limit the group size to 40 students. If you need to bring more than 40 students, you may request the program on multiple days. Please let us know on the application if you would like your trips to be consecutive, spread out, or scheduled in any particular manner.
Who leads the programs?
Our Field Station staff has many different backgrounds. Most are students who are majoring in Biology and/or Education from Thomas More University.

Guy Stacks Beer Bottles With Excavator [VIDEO]
Now this is impressive!!!
I tried to drive/operate an excavator once. Let's just say, I won't be called by any contractors any time soon for a job. It is not as easy at it looks. Thats why I found this video so amazing. And since I like beer...it was even more appealing.
Buffalo On Tap is next Saturday (April 20). Although we won't have any excavators to use for tricks, we will have over 100 different microbrews to try! Come on out and sample a few that you may have never even heard of!!

Men's tennis senior captures first-ever weekly award
MACON, Ga. (Feb. 15, 2012) – Highlighted by a week in which he defeated an ITA-ranked opponent for the first time since ETSU's 2010 NCAA Tournament run, the Atlantic Sun Conference named senior Sander Gille (Kuringen, Belgium) its men's tennis Player of the Week, the league office announced on Wednesday.
The honor is Gille's first in his four seasons at ETSU, and is the Bucs' first since Jesus Bandres (Caracas, Venezuela) was recognized the week of Mar. 30 of last year.
Gille completed the week with a 2-1 record at the No. 1 singles position against competitors from No. 73 Drake, Denver and No. 38 Nebraska. Both of the ETSU senior's victories came in straight sets, with Gille compiling a sets record of 5-2 through three matches.
On Sunday against the Huskers, Gille dominated No. 78 Benedikt Lindheim 6-3, 6-0 for his first win over an ITA-ranked opponent since defeating Tennessee's then-No. 36 Boris Conkic 6-4, 6-1 on May 16, 2010 in the second round of the NCAA Tournament.
Gille's other victory on the weekend came on Saturday against Denver's Enoj Bonin 6-4, 6-2. In his only loss of the week, Gille pushed Drake's No. 51 Anis Ghorbel to his limits in a 6-7 (4-7), 6-4, 7-6 (7-5) war which wound up in favor of Ghorbel. The three-set match was only the third Ghorbel (15-2) had been forced into through this year's spring and fall seasons.
ETSU (0-7) ends its road swing on Saturday when it travels to Murfreesboro, Tenn. to battle MTSU at 2 p.m. The following weekend, Feb. 25-26, the Bucs will play their first home matches of the year when they welcome Appalachian State on Saturday and Tennessee Tech on Sunday.

On Friday, July 19, the members of METALLICA will appear at Comic-Con in San Diego, California to discuss "Metallica Through The Never", filmmaker Nimród Antal's captivating 3D movie featuring one of music's most enduring and iconic bands. The group will be in Hall H at the San Diego Convention Center at 6 p.m. PT, joined by Antal; the star of the film, Dane DeHaan; and producer Charlotte Huggins. In addition, METALLICA has just announced that they will perform at a "super-secret spot" following their Comic-Con appearance. The band states: "We can't just TALK about the film when we are in San Diego... we want to play too! Following our chat in Hall H at Comic-Con, we'll be heading out to a super-secret spot to have some fun and hit the stage.
"Comic-Con attendees will have a chance to win tickets at the Hall H event and Met Club [official METALLICA fan club] members should keep their eyes peeled for more details about chances to win tickets too."
Starring METALLICA, a cast of thousands of their fans and breakout star Dane DeHaan ("Chronicle", "The Amazing Spider-Man 2"), "Metallica Through The Never" is written and directed by award-winning filmmaker Nimród Antal ("Predators", "Kontroll") and produced by former IMAX film producer Charlotte Huggins ("Journey To The Center Of The Earth"). The film marries groundbreaking footage and editing techniques with a compelling narrative, in which a band crew member (played by DeHaan) is sent out on a mission during METALLICA's roaring live set in front of a sold-out arena. While on this mission, he unexpectedly has his life turned completely upside down.
The IMAX 3D release of "Metallica Through The Never" will be digitally remastered into the image and sound quality of The IMAX Experience with proprietary IMAX DMR (Digital Re-mastering) technology. The crystal-clear images, coupled with IMAX's customized theatre geometry and powerful digital audio, create a unique environment that will make audiences feel as if they are in the movie.
Speaking to Collider.com, DeHaan stated about "Metallica Through The Never": "It's, in a way, like a 3D concert movie but there's also this narrative that ties together all the footage. It's gonna be, first of all, really rock and roll and really 'METALLICA,' for lack of a better word; they don't hold back at all. But during the concert, I basically go on this trip as a roadie for the band and I pretty much literally have to go through hell and back to take it back to them, and all of this is going on during the concert, so it all ties together really kind of beautifully and uniquely. It's unlike anything that I've ever seen before; it's almost like a concert movie meets 'The Wall' meets METALLICA."
Ulrich cited the 1976 LED ZEPPELIN movie "The Song Remains The Same" as a major influence on "Metallica Through The Never", explaining to Classic Rock, "There are four members in LED ZEPPELIN, four members in METALLICA, it's a full-length movie, and there's a lot in this film that does not take place onstage. The major difference is that the stuff that takes place offstage in the METALLICA movie does not feature any members of METALLICA. It's two separate worlds — a METALLICA show and a story that unfolds in a parallel universe — and at some point they intertwine."
The ZEPPELIN film interspersed concert footage with fantasy sequences starring each member of the group.
The concert sequences for METALLICA's movie were shot last August at two shows in Vancouver, Canada.
Ulrich told The Pulse Of Radio a while back that making a movie has been one of the most daunting challenges METALLICA has ever taken on. "It's sort of fun, it's intimidating, it's a little overwhelming, to be honest, because it's a whole different league," he said. "You know, when we go down to [the METALLICA headquarters in San Rafael, California] and record and make a record, it's kind of — you know, we can manage the size of that. [laughs] When you're talking about doing, like, a 3D movie that you're gonna, like, play all over the world, that's a little bit of a bigger undertaking, so obviously we're treading a little more carefully."

Freel Peak Climber's Log
McCannster - Jul 26, 2009 11:06 pm Date Climbed: Jul 26, 2009Freel
With Ben, biked part way up TRT, then hiked the rest of the way. Great views, great weather. Went on to Job's Sis. A good birthday hike.
Noondueler - Feb 3, 2009 2:26 am Date Climbed: Sep 22, 1995Big rock sandy Mtn. !
Slogged up surfed down!
selinunte01 - Jan 29, 2009 11:41 am Date Climbed: Sep 8, 2000Highest Point of Tahoe Area
We hiked Freel Peak via Tahoe Rim Trail and back the nice shortcut from the saddle. Had to do some more miles because the road was blocked so we had to leave the car near Meyers.
There was a strange guy at the summit showing off with his revolver - we survived !
wmolland - Dec 4, 2008 5:40 pm Date Climbed: Nov 23, 2008Trout Creek
Good climb with only a little snow up to the saddle. A fun snow climb up the ridge to the windy and bitterly cold summit.
emilie - Oct 13, 2008 10:23 am Date Climbed: Oct 12, 2008Horse Meadow to Armstrong Pass
Dave's approach and route description of Horse Meadow to Armstrong Pass were perfect. It was a great winter hike with several inches of snow the entire way and high winds on the last mile to the summit. Very happy Rd 51 was still open and driveable to access this side of the mountain.
cjrandall - Sep 2, 2008 12:27 pm Date Climbed: Aug 30, 2008Up Trout Creek, Down Armstrong Pass
Followed Gary Suttle's directions on the way in, and thought I was going up the Armstrong Pass route, figured out about an hour of the way in I was actually on the steep and sandy Trout Creek use trail. This route definitely IS evil! Steep, sandy, and very brushy lower down, I lost the trail two or three times. Was very happy to reach the TRT/Freel Peak trail junction at the 9680ft saddle, a mountain biker was lolling around and was surprised to see me come up.
With the temps in the low-to-mid 90s down at lake level, I was surprised how breezy it was up higher. Put my windbreaker on for the final steep climb to the summit, winds were probably 25-30mph.
Not a cloud in the sky, absolutely gorgeous views in all directions. A bit hazy in the Central Valley blocking views to the coast range, was able to see dozens of peaks.
Instead of fighting the brush on the way down Trout Creek, decided to descend the TRT to Armstrong Pass, and then take the mountain bike trail back to Oneidas Street. This part of the trail has completely changed since Gary Suttle wrote his guidebook.
I definitely recommend coming in from the south up and over Armstrong Pass if you're planning on hiking the whole way. The mountain bike trail to Oneidas meanders a lot, and the bike traffic is a hassle.
jboldt1971 - Aug 21, 2008 1:15 pm Date Climbed: Jul 25, 1993Years Ago
Clilmbed this years ago with a great group of friends. Need to get up there again. I remember lots of sand!
Tracy - Jun 22, 2008 11:14 pm Date Climbed: Jun 21, 2008Loop hike
I hiked from Forest Service Road 051 up to Armstrong pass and then bushwacked up the south ridge to the peak. On the way down I hiked east to the nearest saddle, bushwacked south down to Horse Meadow and then walked the road back to my vehicle. 2:45 hrs. up and 1:00 hr. down.
edevart - Jun 22, 2008 12:08 pm Date Climbed: Jun 21, 2008From Horse Meadow
Camped at Horse Meadow and hiked up to the pass between Job's sister and Job's. Ascended Job's Sister via South Face then traversed over to Freel. Dropped (scree ski) down Free's south face back to car.
dbraunstein - Jun 7, 2008 6:27 pm Date Climbed: Jun 24, 2007The day the fire broke out
Bagged both Freel and Job's Sister with hgrapid. Decided to drive back to Reno via SLT and found to our surprise a large fire had started. Great hike, awesome views. My 2nd Tahoe 10,000er.
Brian Kalet - Feb 19, 2008 1:28 pm Date Climbed: Feb 16, 2008South Side Route
Skied from the summit! Trip Report
sacplanner - Dec 28, 2007 11:16 am Date Climbed: Dec 2, 2007Tahoe Triple Crown
Day hiked the Tahoe Triple Crown from the south. It was very windy and cold, but we missed the first winter storm by a week. A light dusting of snow and high winds made for some spectacular spin-drifts along the ridge.
pjgordon - Nov 6, 2007 9:40 pm Date Climbed: Nov 4, 2007Lake Tahoe
The views of the Lake Tahoe basin are spectacular from Freel. Why someone would not want to live around this great lake is beyond me.
JasonH - Nov 5, 2007 10:53 am Date Climbed: Nov 3, 2007Very Windy
My second time to the top. This time I had company with me. It was very windy for most of the hike up, so we decided against Job's Sister. Maybe next time.
panweilin - Oct 25, 2007 3:39 pm Date Climbed: Sep 29, 2007Tahoe Triple Crown
Did a day hike to bag Tahoe Triple Crown - Freel Peak (10,881 ft, the highest of the Tahoe peaks), Jobs Sister (second-highest, at 10,823 ft), and Jobs Peak (fourth-highest, at 10,673 ft).
buzzdainer - Oct 14, 2007 10:38 pm Date Climbed: May 1, 2006Trout Creek Trail
Beautiful hike, though the trail was muddy. Lots of mountain bikers out and about. Some insect problems.
mybackyard - Sep 11, 2007 7:38 am Date Climbed: Sep 10, 2007Freel, Job's & Job's sis day hike.
I parked my car at the little wooden bridge near the south slope and took the Tahoe rim trail towards Star Lake, summiting Freel in exactly 1.5 hours. Saw a large black bear who was coming down from near the summit of Job's sis. Took the south trail down from Job's and arrived back at my car in 4.5 hours.
shaggyp - Aug 27, 2007 12:18 pm Date Climbed: Aug 26, 2007Trout Creek is Evil
Though fairly short for the actual elevation attained the Trout Creek route takes an evil approach to Freel offering steep sand for better than half the distance to the rim trail which I attained about 50 yards short of the Freel use trail. The final mile of use trail was amazing quality with rock steps and cairns to guide you along, I give a huge high five to the parties who built it! Took me about 2:45 to get to the top. Kinda let down by the volume of people at the top, I think there were 6 or 7, but well worth the adventure. Met a guy on top who after some discussion decided my way up would be worth trying for the decent (he went up to armstrong and across from Oneidas). As expected the downtrip was fast taking only 1:30 from the top back to the parking area. I suggest to others to follow Cass' route up to armstrong and down via trout, it seems to make for a better loop.

Many ill habits begin in youth.
�When I was 16, I took my first drink. When I was 21, I started doing drugs,� says a client of Residential Treatment Services of Alamance. �I liked the feelings that it gave me � until I hit rock bottom because of them.�
Fortunately, RTSA is there to help.
�I went to check myself into RTSA when I found my brother had died. He was on drugs when he passed away. Through classes here at RTSA, I am learning about staying clean and turning my life to my higher power.
�I have a sponsor, and my sponsor is helping me to learn the 12 steps. Faith is not something which I must add to myself for it is a part of me already. I have been at RTSA for a little while now. I�m going through another death in my family � my dad passed away November 21st. The holidays won�t be the same without him. Right now, I am working with OE Enterprises, and they are helping me to find work. The RTSA staff is helping me through the problems that I am having.
�If it hadn�t been for RTSA helping me, I would have died out there on the streets.�
Another client was on a downward spiral.
�Last Christmas, I had recently gotten a DWI and was without driving privileges. I was unemployed most of the year and was living on unemployment. I was able to visit my friends and family with the help of a wonderful woman friend who drove. The presents that I was able to give were meager but meaningful. My unemployment income was exhausted in April. I had no income. My savings were gone. I got a divorce and lived alone. The DWI case is still not closed.
Fortunately, an option was available.
�I was given a choice: six months in jail or six months at RTSA. I�m sure I made the correct decision. At RTSA, I�m taking classes on the disease of addiction (alcohol is my drug of choice), recovery, identifying my triggers, defects of character, spiritual principles, recovery and relapse prevention. Although the presents I will be able to give my family and friend will be almost nothing materially, the immaterial gift of my continued commitment to sobriety and personal growth is priceless.
�I praise and thank the God of my understanding for the opportunity at RTSA and in all facets of my life. I am grateful to God, my family and friends, Alcoholics Anonymous, and RTSA.�
RTSA offers nonhospital detoxification, facility-based crisis service, and residential services to alcoholics and addicts, as well as those struggling with mental illness. Its facilities include an eight-bed detoxification/crisis unit, a 17-bed program providing residential services to individuals in a home environment, a six-bed home for women recovering from substance abuse, and two homes (men�s and women�s) for six full-time residents each with mental illness.
At this time of year, RTSA also provides toiletries and clothing, and in some cases shoes and coats, through its �Santa�s Helper� program. That program is one of the charities that benefit from the Times-News� Love Enough to Share drive. And that makes it easy for you to help out.
Your gifts � like your gifts to Christmas Cheer, the Foster Children�s Christmas Fund, the National Alliance on Mental Illness� Operation Santa Claus, The Salvation Army�s Shoes with Love program, and the Arc of Alamance County�s ArChristmas Fund � go entirely to the charities.
To donate through Love Enough to Share, look for the coupon that accompanies these stories. Fill it out, and return it with your check, made out to the charity you choose, to the Times-News, Attn: Love Enough to Share, P.O. Box 481, Burlington, NC 27216. Contributions also can be dropped off at the Times-News office, 707 S. Main St., Burlington. The Times-News will send a complimentary card to honorees or, in the case of memorial contributions, to their families. Contributors also will be recognized in the newspaper unless they prefer to remain anonymous.

Expensive, newer stents not better for all patients
Many heart patients get newer, pricey stents inserted during artery-clearing procedures, even if it's not clear they'd be worse off with more basic models, a new study suggests.
Along with being more costly, so-called drug-eluting stents require patients to take aspirin and other blood-thinning drugs for a longer period of time after their procedure - which may mean they have to put off future elective surgeries because of bleeding risks, according to one researcher who worked on the report.
Some patients having a stent inserted are at high risk of having that stent get clogged up, requiring a repeat procedure. In those patients - such as people with diabetes or narrow arteries - drug-eluting stents can help prevent build-up in and around the stent and avoid future surgeries, said Dr. Robert Yeh, a cardiologist from Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston.
But in people whose stents probably won't get clogged up to begin with, old-fashioned bare-metal stents can work just as well at a much lower price, he said. "Non-diabetic patients who have big arteries and have very short blockages, their rate of restenosis can be quite low, even with bare-metal stents," Yeh told Reuters Health.
"Patients need to ideally know an estimate of their individualized risk of requiring a repeat procedure, and they need to know, what are the implications of the different stent choices they might receive?"
For the new study, Yeh and his colleagues consulted data on 1.5 million patients having a stent inserted between 2004 and 2010 in the United States. Almost three-quarters of patients at very low risk of needing a repeat stent-inserting procedure received drug-eluting stents. That compared with 83 percent of the higher-risk patients, who had more to gain from the extra protection offered by those newer stents.
What's more, doctors varied greatly in their use of drug-eluting stents: Individual surgeons used the newer devices for between two and 100 percent of procedures. Yeh's team calculated that if half of low-risk patients given a drug-eluting stent instead received a bare-metal stent, the U.S. could save over $200 million per year on heart procedures, or about $340 per procedure.
As a result, an extra one in 200 patients given a bare-metal stent would eventually need a repeat artery-clearing procedure, the researchers reported Monday in the Archives of Internal Medicine.
Yeh said some doctors may assume the newest stent available is the best one for their patients. But researchers emphasized the need for people going in for elective heart procedures to discuss their options with their surgeons.
"This is definitely a case where you can't have a general rule that applies in every situation," said Dr. Jack Tu, head of cardiovascular research at the Institute for Clinical Evaluative Sciences in Toronto, who wasn't involved in the new study.
"The higher-risk patients should be getting these (drug-eluting) stents, whereas I think an argument could be made that lower-risk patients should be getting bare-metal stents."
But, he told Reuters Health, "It really should be an individualized decision and should take into account the risk of getting a drug-eluting stent as well as the benefits."
The downsides of the newer stents include costs and possible consequences of being on blood thinners for about a year, compared to a month after receiving a bare-metal stent. Dr. Peter Groeneveld, who wrote a commentary accompanying the study, said the new findings are just one example of ways technology gets overused and at times misused in healthcare.
"All the incentives are aligned right now to use the most expensive, newest therapeutic options when often there are much cheaper, tried and true, evidence-based therapies that are going to deliver just as much benefit," Groeneveld, from the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia, told Reuters Health.
"If you get an expensive stent, somebody has to pay for it, even if that stent doesn't benefit anybody, including the patient, anymore than a cheaper alternative," he added. In that case, Groeneveld added, "That's just money down the drain."

Racist Mexican Gangs "Ethnic Cleansing" Blacks In L.A.
Paul Joseph Watson
A story carried on the liberal website Alternet, charts an explosion in brutal murders of blacks by Hispanic street gangs in L.A. Far from being gang on gang violence, the Latinos are targeting innocent blacks in accordance with a concerted ethnic cleansing campaign that seeks to eradicate all blacks from Hispanic neighborhoods.
In one instance, 21-year-old Anthony Prudhomme was shot in the face with a .25-caliber semi-automatic while lying on a futon inside his apartment, slain by a Latino gang known as the Avenues as part of a racist terror campaign in which gang members earn "stripes" for each black person they kill.
In one typical case," writes journalist Brentin Mock, "Three members of the Pomona 12 attacked an African-American teenager, Kareem Williams, in his front yard in 2002. When his uncle, Roy Williams, ran to help his nephew, gang member Richard Diaz told him, "Niggers have no business living in Pomona because this is 12th Street territory." According to witnesses, Diaz then told the other gang members, "Pull out the gun! Shoot the niggers! Shoot the niggers!"
The fatwah against blacks began in the mid-nineties, with a 1995 LAPD report concluding that Latinos had vowed to "Eradicate black citizens from the gang neighborhood." In a follow up report on the situation in east Los Angeles, the LAPD warned that "Local gangs will attack any black person that comes into the city."
The author notes that since 1990 the African-American population of Los Angeles has halved, partly as a result of rampant illegal immigration and that there are noticeably fewer blacks walking the streets because many have been forced to relocate in fear of the racist gangs.
"The LAPD estimates there are now 22,000 Latino gang members in the city of Los Angeles alone. That's not only more than all the Crips and the Bloods; it's more than all black, Asian, and white gang members combined. Almost all of those Latino gang members in L.A. -- let alone those in other California cities -- are loyal to the Mexican Mafia. Most have been thoroughly indoctrinated with the Mexican Mafia's violent racism during stints in prison, where most gangs are racially based," writes Mock.
Mock blames the "Mexican Mafia" for ordering the campaign of ethnic cleansing from prison, as part of a turf war with the Black Guerilla family, another prison gang, but fails to pinpoint the racist creed from which the Mexican kingpins draw their inspiration - the long standing Aztlan invasion agenda.
Aztlan's goal, known as La reconquista, is to cede and take over the entirety of the southern and western states by any means necessary and impose a Communist militant dictatorship. President Bush's blanket amnesty program goes a long way to helping the extremists achieve their aim.

Despite the fact that the majority of documented hispanics oppose illegal immigration, as do the majority of Americans, Aztlan and La Raza race hate groups have become the self-appointed voice for a separatist movement that threatens a violent overthrow of the Constitutional system and a barbaric program of ethnic cleansing. This is held up by the media as 'diversity' and to vociferously oppose it is scorned as racism.
Aztlan and Mecha groups advocate killing all whites and blacks and driving them out of the southern states by means of brutal ethnic cleansing. Flags and placards carried at marches depict white people having their heads cut off, as seen in the picture below.
Those that protest such groups are then attacked by the establishment media and labeled as racists, despite the fact that the Plan of San Diego, a rallying cry for the hispanic Klan groups, advocates total eradication of any race but hispanics.
Mecha's own slogan reads, "For the race everything. For those outside the race, nothing."
TV stations owned by rich white industrialists erect giant billboards in Los Angeles claiming the city belongs to Mexico, as seen below.
Mainstream hispanics who love America abhor the virulent racism that the Mexican klan groups embrace.
And who bankrolls these pocket radicals? Billionaire tax-exempt foundations and NGO's owned by white men. Organizations like the Ford Foundation, groups who are zealous in their quest to eliminate the middle class and destroy America, turning it into a cashless society, compact city, surveillance control grid where only two tiers of society exist - the elite and the poor slaves.
During the May immigration protests, The Aztlanwebsite carried the following statement.
"If the racist "Sensenbrenner Legislation" passes the US Senate, there is no doubt that a massive civil disobedience movement will emerge. Eventually labor union power can merge with the immigrant civil rights and "Immigrant Sanctuary" movements to enable us to either form a new political party or to do heavy duty reforming of the existing Democratic Party. The next and final steps would follow and that is to elect our own governors of all the states within Aztlan."
Here is the open call for violent separatism and the overthrow of existing state government structures.
During the immigration demonstrations, which were orchestrated by Rob Allyn of Rob Allyn & Co. who is closely tied with George W. Bush, alarming reports of illegals carrying out violent beatings began to surface. In Santa Ana California, illegal aliens swarmed around in mobs invading schools, carrying out violent beatings and in one incident a county worker had a Mexican flag plunged into his chest.
The violent protests that began on May 1 last year were characterized by throngs marching under Mexican flags, many of which were illegal aliens, as a "day without gringos."
Imagine what the reaction would be if white middle class Americans marched in their millions and called the event "a day without blacks."
The media continues to run defense for a violent militant movement that seeks nothing less than the eradication of blacks and whites through ethnic cleansing and the takeover of the southern and western states. This is a separatist junta that has over 30,000 ruthless gang members at its disposal once the call for mobilization is heard, along with millions of illegal aliens pouring across the border.
These thugs have the temerity to call Latinos, blacks and whites who are opposed to uncontrolled illegal immigration racists when it is their own La reconquista philosophy that has spawned target hits in Los Angeles as part of a virulently racist ethnic cleansing rampage. It's a bloodlust that can only spread to other cities as the realization of Aztlan is generously aided by billionaire Globalists who wish to see America balkanized, plundered and destroyed.

BEDFORD Co., Va. (WSET) -- A local woman is peeling back the curtain on adoption in a unique way, trying to help some friends raise the money necessary to help create a forever home for a child by Christmas.
If you've seen a woman riding a bike in a banana suit, that's Elisa Strange.
She's doing it all in the name of adoption awareness.
"I was like I need to do this," she said. "It's hard to come up with the thousands of dollars that it takes for private adoption."
When Strange found out her friends needed more money to legally adopt a little boy, she came up with something creative.
"Adoption I'm learning is an ongoing thing, until it's done, it's not done," said Bambi and Nick Durham, in the process of adopting a nine-year-old boy.
Bambi and Nick Durham are house parents, which means while biological parents work on getting healthy, the Durham's provide a stable home for the children in the meantime.
"We've loved him since the day we met him, he gives great hugs," they said.
In 13 years of marriage they have taken care of 97 children, but this little boy was different.
Strange's costumes gets attention as she hits the trail to spread awareness and for every $25 raised, she bikes another mile, so far, she's biked 50.
She's hoping to to raise enough money so the Durham's have the greatest holiday gift of all.
"Christmas would be our dream," she said.
A legal adoption so this little boy can be a Durham by the holidays.
You don't have to have a banana suit to help out the Durhams, they have raised more than $9,000 of their $10,000 goal. You can donate right here.

If you haven't completely moved to Google+, you've probably noticed all the changes Facebook has been working on lately. Feelings are mixed about these changes, but most people seem to dislike them. Well, we have one more addition to the repertoire, and this one actually seems to be a bit more exciting.
Facebook has just announced Timeline. This feature takes all your information since the creation of your Facebook account and organizes it in an attractive timeline. This will allow you and your friends to go back and remember sweet old times with older images and general information. Whether you were studying hard in high school, partying it up in college or getting married in Hawaii, the Timeline will display it all.
There was no mention of Android compatibility on the way. (It is coming to iPhone soon, though). But we can assume Android will be getting Timeline soon enough. It is the most popular smartphone OS, after all. Timeline should be rolling out in the following weeks, so you'll have to check it out on your computer until then.
Timeline is the most exciting new feature, but the rest seem alright too. Facebook also announced Spotify, Netflix and hulu integration. This means you can share what you're listening to or watching. More services will be integrated in time. As you can see in the video below, one one feature will be similar to Nike+, allowing you to share where and when you take your daily jog.
We've heard many different opinions on this. One of the most popular is that Facebook is no longer as "intuitive" as it used to be. But we'd like to see what our readers think. Let us know how you feel about these changes in the comments section. Do you like Timeline? Do you like the integrations that were added? Would you rather get rid of that side bar (along with all the new changes)?

Employers and employees could be hit by new government rules on what it calls 'optional remuneration arrangements'. People swapping salary for benefits like company cars, workplace parking and health checks will, in most cases, be required to pay the same tax as individuals who buy them out of their post-tax income. Certain benefits, such as pension saving and employer-supported childcare, are exempt from the changes, and transitional rules apply for others, but the changes aim to tackle differences between the tax treatment of cash earnings and benefits, and could result in higher tax bills and National Insurance contributions.
Affected individuals may need to weigh up whether they can negotiate better terms themselves for some benefits.
The levels and bases of taxation, and reliefs from taxation, can change at any time and are generally dependent on individual circumstances.

Frederick Johnson began his anthropological studies as a teenager, accompanying anthropologist Frank G. Speck (1881-1951) on trips to Native communities in Quebec. Between 1923 and 1929, Johnson studied at the University of Pennsylvania and conducted several research trips in Canada, some of which were sponsored by MAI.

Introductory book that focuses on the essentials of Lisp programming and discusses the "bottom up" paradigm for program design. This well organized introduction to the language also serves as a useful reference. Shortly after Paul Graham wrote ANSI Common Lisp, he and his friend Robert Morris used Lisp to create Viaweb, a web-based application that was acquired by Yahoo in 1998.
Document location: http://paulgraham.com/acl.html
Another good introductory book with more emphasis on how Common Lisp is used for real projects. Includes many example projects, including web application development.
Picks up where ANSI Common Lisp left off, covering advanced topics in more detail. This book is full of techniques that other languages aren't capable of matching.
Starts with an introduction to the language, including an excellent discussion of programming style. Most of the book is a collection of projects covering classic topics in Artificial Intelligence. This book also includes many examples in Prolog.

Jordan said: "It's very nice to be recognised but it's more about the team effort than my individual performance.
"We've started to climb the table in these last few games and there's definitely a feeling that we've found our stride and we're looking to continue moving up and doing well.
"Training with the Scarlets fulltime now has helped my game massively. This is my first season with them as part of the senior squad and it's been a steep learning curve. I'm enjoying being around the likes of Stephen Jones and all the guys who did so well in the World Cup, it's good to learn from experienced players like that."
Llanelli Head Coach Kevin George was very complimentary of Jordan's progress. "Jordan has really shone the past few weeks. His game has come on a lot. He's very versatile playing fullback and 10 which is great from a selection point of view," he said.
"His goal kicking has been an added bonus for us - he's been excellent in both the Principality Premiership and British and Irish Cup for us.
"Jordan has put his hand up the past 12 months and I'm sure there is more to be seen of him through Wales U18 and Scarlets."
Llanelli born Jordan Williams began his career with the New Dock Stars and joined the Scarlets academy two years ago. He earned a contract with the senior Scarlets at the start of the season and has represented Wales at U16 and U18.

The Riverside Press-Enterprise reports a Yucaipa businessman staged an elaborate April Fool's joke on Monday.
Billy Cheesman Jr. used a forklift to arrange a small aircraft on the fence that runs in front of his equipment rental business, as if it had nosedived there.
He also strung yellow caution tape around to make it resemble a crash scene.
Cheesman says someone gave him the two-seat experimental plane and he's been trying to figure out what to do with it.
He notified the San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department before he set up the prank at Redlands Yucaipa Rentals.

Play Dough Box – Berry Burst
A box of 1 color play dough, 100 gms. Cutter not included in box.
Play dough is a great resource for parents and teachers to bond with the children while playing and communicating with each other. The activities you could do with play dough are unlimited, so let your imagination go wild.
Busy Li'l Hands makes soft,colorful, fruity smelling play dough with all edible ingredients so you don"t have to worry about those little fingers. As a parent or teacher, it is important to remember that every child develops differently and many factors influence the development of skills.
A mother is a child's first and most important teacher. Your child's best learning happens when he or she is spending time with you doing activities that are fun and interesting. This is called play based learning.Studies show that during playtime, children are most receptive to new information and skills. Through play you can stimulate your child to learn, problem-solve, communicate, negotiate, role play and make decisions – skills that help your child become a successful learner.

Anonymous letter bears falsities
Spring Creek Township officials found few problems at campsites along Cemetery Road after receiving an anonymous letter that questioned building and sewage practices."I checked into all the complaints and I have copies of all the zoning permits from Russ Braun-- I did talk to the assessment office and they are paying taxes on one of those, they plan to check out the other building and see if there are taxes on that one," said supervisor Donna Kosick.A new building is reportedly being constructed in Hallton along Cemetery Road."To our understanding, Jack Bogacki and Bob Bogacki each have a parcel of ground there," said supervisor Richard Wittman. "A few years back, Jack put in a building for a camp or summer home, whatever you want to call it and Bob decided to do the same thing. "Bob secured the permits, I know he did because I talked to Russ Braun on it and everything with the exception of an issue with the [Elk County] Conservation District is good."Pick up a copy of the Wednesday, July 13, 2011 edition of The Ridgway Record for more.

The Boosters board members of the newly-formed group said the high school and the elementary school each have Booster organizations, however, the middle school had none. A group of interested people started a mission in September, 2010, to support the students by providing resources and opportunities for student and parental involvement above what is provided by the school district.
Their board is made up of four members, Jill Bacon, president, Alice Koch, vice president, Lesa Haughey, treasurer and Karla Hala, secretary. Three at-large members are to be added.
This group will meet the first Wednesday of every month, usually at the middle school conference room.
This past year they have sold middle school t-shirts, had a "Rube's Night" in which part of the proceeds were given to the organization and had a middle school dance to raise money for the organization.
They have provided monetary donations and volunteered time to the Kids in the Kitchen program, Girls Middle School Science Club and Teacher Appreciation Week.
They also have provided funding for additional school supplies that were identified as a need for some students by the middle school faculty. There request for the board was approval of their by-laws which their group had approved at their Aug. 1, meeting.
Contracts were approved for Marlys Upah and Jeri Ellenbecker to share supervisory duties for middle school concessions for $1,656 each; Emily Stringer, strength training, $1,458; and Deb McLeod, website coordinator, $3,960.
School Board Policy 202.50 addresses conflict of interest, relating it shall be a conflict of interest for spouses of board members to be hired except on a volunteer basis as school district personnel by the board. The hiring of any other family member shall be within the discretion of the board.
Due to the late resignation of a high school staff member, it has provided the district a limited amount of time to find a quality replacement. Because of this circumstance, the board voted to use Policy 203.14, a waiver of policy as applied to 202.50. Board member Mark McFate abstained from this vote.
Superintendent's Annual Report
Superintendent Kerri Nelson gave her annual report for the 2010-2011 school year showing the enrollment increased by 26 which she felt was a good sign.
Nelson said the 2010-2011 school year marked the second year of turbulent finance from the state, when it announced a plan to eliminate all preschool funding and to freeze any allowable growth for schools for a two year period of time.
The issue was unresolved until well into the summer months. In response, the district reduced ten support staff positions, one pre-school position and did not fill two vacated teaching positions. Additionally the Math coach and Literacy Coach positions were nut funded.
The cost of health insurance was projected to be a 28.8 percent increase for the 2011-12 enrollment period. The district was able to work with Jake Jacobson of Independent Insurance to provide comparable coverage at a more reasonable rate by changing to a Wellmark plan. Changing plans and providers reduced the premium rate increase from 28.8 percent to 8 percent increase.
The Board reviewed an undated board policy on wellness in September. Joanne Hofer says the school is making many changes to comply with a Wellness Plan although there are several complaints.
Students in grades 6-12 are to participate in 120 minutes per week of physical activity The high school receive at least 120 minutes per week activity in physical education classes or athletics, or they sign a contract to reach that level by other means at home.
Not always accomplished at the middle school, two grades do get the 120 minutes per week but some as low as 75 minutes per week. Students in grades K-5 are to participate in 30 minutes per day of physical activity.
Students are required to complete a course that leads to certification in cardiopulmonary resuscitation by the end of grade 12.
The Healthy Kids Act is very prescriptive about what foods can and can't be sold to students "from bell to bell" during the school day. Absolutely no soda, vending machine items must meet Healthy Kids Act requirements, regarding salt, fat, calories, sugar fiber.
Baked desserts (cakes, cookies) will continue to be served only once per week. Upcoming nutrition program regulations will mandate two fruits and two vegetables per day, aat least one meat and one fruit requireed for breakfast, and fewer starchy vegetables such as potatoes, corn and peas.
In other business the school board:
•approved high school, middle school and elementary school handbooks with little or no changes noted.
•acceted the sole bid of Anderson Erickson Dairy for milk for the school year and Sara Lee for bread.
•renewed contracts with Mental Health Clinic of Tama County and Tama County Public Health and Home Care.
•renewed a contract with Ellsworth / Marshalltown Community College Unit located at Iowa Falls and Marshalltown .
•voted to advertise for elementary parking lot bids. The elementary parking lot is reported to become congested during the time school is released when parents come to pick uup their children, and whenever there is any event at the elementary building. Buses also have a problem with the parking lot, it was reported.
•The Department of Education responded to requests by community colleges and school districts regarding proficiency requirements for students who wanted to access college course work. The Department of Educaton set proficiency requirement for all students accessing the post secondary educational opportunities programing as the 41 percentile for reading comprehension, math and science. The South Tama High School's current policy states that study must have a score of 41 percentile on the ITED tests to participate.

Halejian Scores 11, Hits Double Figures for 19th time in 20 Games
NEW HAVEN, Conn. — The Yale University women's basketball team struggled to put points on the board early, which never bodes well against a team that has been as dominant as Princeton has been over the last four years.
Princeton grabbed a big early lead and never looked back in a 99-53 win over Yale inside John J. Lee Amphitheater Sunday night.
The 99 points was a program record for Princeton, which improved to 14-5 overall and 5-0 in Ivy League play. Yale fell to 7-13 overall, 2-4 in Ivy League play with the loss.
