Record: 13-11 Overall (10-4 Home), (3-7 Conference)Key Wins: Boston College, Auburn, Alabama, Miami, Murray StateKey Losses: at Xavier, Saint Louis (by 29), Butler, LaSalle, VCUStarting Personnel#1 Kevin Dillard - 6'0 senior PG: Leading scorer and assist man averages 15 points per game, and is shooting 40% from deep this year. Xavier did a good job on him for most of last game, but Dillard has big shot making abilities. #43 Vee Sanford - 6'3 junior SG: All around scorer is second on team at 12.5 points per game and really hurt Xavier the first time around with his offensive aggression. #5 Devin Oliver - 6'7 junior SF: Slasher averages 9.4 points and team high 8.4 rebounds per game. #21 Dyshawn Pierre - 6'6 freshman PF: Inside-outside forward averages 8 points and 5 rebounds, capable three-point shooter at 45%. #2 Josh Benson - 6'9 senior C: Third leading scorer at 10 points, and also averages 4.5 rebounds. Xavier really held Benson in check the first time these teams met. Bench Personnel#12 Jalen Robinson - 6'9 freshman PF/C: Big man with skill averages 6 points and 5 rebounds off of bench. #15 Matt Derenbecker - 6'7 sophomore SF: Transfer sniper averages just 4.7 points but shoots 45% from deep. Xavier Defensive Keys• Find shooters: In the first meeting between these two teams Dayton stayed in the game by knocking down three-pointers. The Flyers hit eight long balls, including four from Dillard and three from Derenbecker. The three-point shot is called the great equalizer for a reason in college basketball. Xavier can't let a one trick pony like Derenbecker get any shots off, and while Dillard is going to shoot no matter what, Xavier needs to force him into difficult and contested shots late in the shot clock. • Get back in transition: The other way that Dayton really hurt Xavier last game was with their quick strike offense off of a defensive rebound, or sometimes even a made basket. Dillard really looked to push the ball in transition, or throw it all the way down court, as Dayton got several easy baskets early in the shot clock, which is exactly what Dayton coach Archie Miller's ideal style of play is. In particular, Oliver and Sanford are the two players that XU needs to make sure they find in the up-tempo game, as these two love to run the wing and are very good attacking the rim in space. • No paint for Sanford: The Flyers most efficient scorer at the Cintas Center was transfer junior guard Vee Sanford, who scored 16 points on 8/13 shooting. Sanford's primary goal is to attack the rim and shoot a pull-up or get all the way to the basket and draw contact. It will be imperative in this game that whoever is guarding Sanford will keep the wing from getting into the paint, where he becomes as dangerous of a scorer as there in college basketball. Sanford hasn't proven to be a great passer at this point, so don't be surprised if XU gives a little extra help towards Sanford's direction. Xavier Offensive Keys• Return of Mr. Robinson: In the first meeting with Xavier the Musketeers were probably saved from being upset because of the play of forward Jeff Robinson. The senior was aggressive, which isn't always a given, from start to finish as he scored 12 points to keep the Flyers defense honest from doubling Semaj Christon and Travis Taylor. If Xavier can get another good game out of Robinson then they will hold a huge advantage heading down the stretch in this one. • Two is better than one: The Dayton seven man rotation only has one true guard in Kevin Dillard, while Xavier has two guards who can really put pressure on the defense with their abilities to get places off of the dribble. Dillard can't guard Semaj Christon (13 points in first meeting) and Dee Davis (14 points in first meeting) at the same time; so whoever has the matchup needs to look to be very aggressive in creating offense and drawing help to set up a teammate. • Attack Benson: The Flyers are a completely different team when senior big man Josh Benson is playing well; in the first meeting Xavier was able to neutralize Benson in part by attacking him on the offensive end and forcing him into foul trouble. Travis Taylor (11 points in first meeting) was efficient for Xavier, while Justin Martin (8 points) and Isaiah Philmore (8 points on 4/4 before leaving with injury) also gave help in the painted area. If Xavier can draw fouls on Benson then coach Miller will be forced to insert his freshmen big guys, a big advantage for Xavier in a game of this magnitude. Overall: We all know how difficult it is for Xavier to win at UD Arena, especially in seasons where Xavier has already defeated the Flyers in Cincinnati. This isn't even a must-win for a struggling Dayton team, it's basically their version of the NCAA tournament. Conversely, Xavier needs to earn good road wins, and of course conference wins, to enhance their post-season resume and continue to improve. The Musketeers will have to handle their emotions against the crowd, and be prepared to execute for forty minutes. This game will more than likely come down to the last few possessions, with both teams having about an equal shot at getting the win. ...More... To continue reading this article you must be a member.

New Study Names Canada's "Best Places to be an Animal Abuser"
May 17th, 2011Quebec and Nunavut Ranked Worst for Animals, Ontario Takes Top Honors in Animal Legal Defense Fund's 2011 Report
For immediate release
Lisa Franzetta, Animal Legal Defense Fund
Stephan Otto, Animal Legal Defense Fund
San Francisco – Quebec, Nunavut, the Northwest Territories, and Alberta are the best provinces and territories in Canada to be an animal abuser, according to a new report released today by the Animal Legal Defense Fund (ALDF). Based on a detailed comparative analysis of the animal protection laws of each jurisdiction, researching thirteen distinct categories of provisions throughout hundreds of pages of statutes, the report recognizes the provinces and territories where laws protecting animals have real teeth, and calls out those like Quebec and Nunavut—the worst in Canada this year for animal protection laws—where animal abusers get off easy. ALDF's fourth annual report, the only one of its kind in the nation, ranks every province and territory on the relative strength and general comprehensiveness of its animal protection laws. For the third year in a row, Ontario held the top spot in the rankings due to its wide array of animal protection laws; Saskatchewan showed the most significant improvement overall, moving from seventh last year to fifth best in the country this year.
2011 Canadian Animal Protection Laws Rankings
Comparing Overall
Strength & Comprehensiveness
Top Tier: | 1. Ontario 2. Manitoba 3. New Brunswick 4. Nova Scotia |
Middle Tier: | 5. Saskatchewan
6. Yukon 7. British Columbia 8. Prince Edward Island 9. Newfoundland & Labrador |
Bottom Tier: | 10. Alberta 11. Northwest Territories 12. Quebec 13. Nunavut |
"While we remain hopeful for additional improvements with the federal laws, much can continue to take place at the provincial and territorial level," says Stephan Otto, ALDF's director of legislative affairs and author of the report. "Animals do not vote, but those who love and care about them do. It is our hope that these ongoing reviews continue to garner support for both the strengthening and enforcement of animal protection laws throughout Canada."
The full report, including a rankings map and overview of the strengths and weaknesses of the animal protection laws of each province and territory, is available here. Some highlights of legislative improvements since ALDF's first report in 2008:
- Seven jurisdictions have increased the maximum penalties for offenses (BC, NB, NT, NS, ON, SK, YT)
- Five have improved the standards of care for animals (BC, NB, NT, NS, ON)
- Three provinces have enacted provisions requiring veterinarians to report suspected cruelty (MB, NS, ON)
- Three jurisdictions have broadened the range of protections (NT, ON, SK)
- One now authorizes courts to require mental health counseling by offenders (ON)
- Five jurisdictions have enacted stronger inspection/seizure/oversight authority (BC, NB, NT, ON, YT)
- Three have increased restrictions on ownership of animals following a
conviction (MB, NT, ON)

Enthusiastic Gavin ready to get down to business
What is certain at this stage is Gavin's keenness to begin collective training, especially considering his reservations about the entire concept of a training ban.
"I don't think it should be in place," he said. "I think each manager should view his squad and tailor each programme, manage each player, as an individual rather than as a collective.
Managing fatigue
"I still would have given players time off. I'm acutely aware of the benefits of managing their fatigue and letting them have some off-time, letting them get some work-sport-life balance.
"That's the way it needs to be approached. I understand where the GAA have come from, though, but if I had my way, we wouldn't have a ban on collective training, no. Some players need to work in that off-season as well.
"But the energy has been superb. We've been very impressed with the atmosphere and signals we've got from the players. They're a very committed, very ambitious group of men. We look forward to working with them from Saturday."
Another man Gavin has also been speaking to is former 1995 All-Ireland winning team-mate Dessie Farrell, who took over the role as Dublin Under-21 manager, and whose task is to defend the All-Ireland Under-21 title won by Gavin's crew earlier this year.
"The priority has to be the under-21 championship. I've experienced this in the past. For me, the Dublin Under-21s being successful will certainly support the senior team's aims."
Capital change: Dublin launch new jersey
It may be a case of trying to spot the difference from the old one, but a new Dublin jersey will be in all good sports shops from tomorrow – and despite the county footballers failing to defend their All-Ireland title, it's expected to maintain its position as one of the top-selling jerseys on the market.
The last time Dublin redesigned its jersey was almost three years ago, in January 2010, to coincide with a new agreement with sponsors Vodafone: the 2013 edition, which features more navy colouring, stripes on the sleeve, the traditional collar, plus a "honeycomb" pattern on the sky-blue front, will retail for €60. Dublin typically sell around 40,000 units of the jersey every year, although stronger sales inevitably come with a re-launch, which means some 120,000 units of the old jersey have been sold.

Maybe that's because I can't resist a sale and I don't think you should either. After all, part of the fun of shopping is telling others about a bargain.

I think that even if you are not christian,you will make it in heaven! How do we know if what the bible says is true? We don't really have a reliable source for that. And just because you are not a follower does not? mean you are not his children.If God truly created us equally, in some way, why would there need to be a reason for going to hell or to heaven? In god's eyes we are his children,and nothing can change that.You shouldn't always trust something you read. I mean how do we know that they are hiding the truth from us with this bible?? How do we know it's not all made up?
If You Are Not Christian Why Would You Go To Hell?
Maybe the bible was like the lord of the rings. it could be that the bible was simply a book written by a bored guy to entertain his friends and became popular then over the years misunderstood. Also even if the christian bible is wrong there are still other older faithes to believe in.
It says the Earth is a circle. Circles are 2D. They are flat, not round. That statement goes perfectly well with the time's accepted truth of a flat Earth. And saying that Old Testament prophecies are fullfilled in the New Testament doesn't prove anything. That just proves that whichever enterprising ancient scam artist that wrote the New Testament read up on the original before writing the sequel.

i believe in the bible. but i dont fin d that god would reject good people in to his kingdom because the believe differently,, all people are his creation and if some on thinks differently believes differently but is an amazing person and follows the right path, why whould they burn in hell?
Our standards are different than God's standards. People we think that are "good" people don't reach up to God's standard of perfection. That is why people need to believe in Jesus' death on the cross as the payment for our sins.
I've been reading a few of the comments that say how we don't have any proof on whether or not the Bible is true. When you are all alone at night and scared and crying and you don't know why, then maybe you'll see that Bible can't be a lie. If the Bible is a lie, then there is no heaven, and you will never see your deceased loved ones again. For me God has to exist. Also, I don't think that all the martyrs in history died for a lie. I'm sorry but I can't agree... (more »)
They didn't die for a lie, they died for a belief; there's a difference. Whether or not I believe it's a lie (or anyone for that matter) doesn't effect whether or not they did.
It's sad you even think that the bible was made up.
Why do you say that? What she says actually makes sense, and I agree with her to some extent. We really do have no solid proof, besides a book of stories and passages....
Honestly? No solid proof? You know that many of the prophecies in the Bible have been fulfilled? You know that there is evidence of the walls of Jericho falling down? You know there are no contradictions in the Bible, when you actually analyze them, despite what ignorant people would like to say? Google it sometime. "Your Word is truth." "Every word of God is tested." "All Scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction..."
Yeah, the Bible is a collection of a variety of eyewitnesses of Jesus's life on earth and men who were instructed by God. The Bible isn't just one person writing a story, it is a variety of people who were inspired by the Holy Spirit on what to write about the truth of God. Some were inspired by visions and others through eyewitness testimonies and even more by various other ways.
I believe that all belifes are real. just as long as you are a good person and live kindly you will go to your heaven whatever it may be.
Christianity is a beleife, right? In Romans 3:23 it says 'For all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God'. Therefore, being 'good' won't get you anywhere. Also, if all beleifes are real and true, then God is a nasty being.
Yeah... but if one person says there is no heaven... and no God... And another said there was... than how would there be both no heaven, and heaven?
And God shouldn't be upset with us just because we not sure because we have no solid proof.

By doing good to others around you, you are following God. He will let you in, it's not a exclusive club, it's inclusive:)
How can we be good to others all the time? We've all messed up, and we'll all mess up again. Moreover, Jesus himself said it's easy to love those who love you, and to do good to those who'll repay you. Why would God be pleased with that? He wants more--He wants to follow Him truly by obeying His word.

The New Testament is a giant metaphore for universal love. It's a metaphore. Please comment, I'd love to reply.
The New Testament is not a metaphor about universal love. Let me say this, Go.d's love is unlike any other. He loves us no matter what we do. But here's the thing, He hates it when we sin. He loves us, but hate's what we do (our sinful nature). I find your comment sad, because it has no evidence to back it up. But Go.d forgives you though, all you have to ask is forgiveness. That's all.

Good garden design | ||||||||||||
Earth Designs - Garden Design SeriesGood Garden DesignGarden Design must be guided by key principles to ensure that it really is good. It is important to take principles into account when considering changing, restructuring or indeed any kind of design within one's own garden. Garden FunctionIt is no easy task to design a garden and there are several guidelines that deserve the utmost consideration as to make mistakes within this area can be costly and time consuming. Firstly it is important to begin with the fundamental concerns of garden design. The commodity (function), firmness (in terms of soils, hard walls and other structural points) and aesthetic pleasure of the garden should be the initial consideration. Of course not all gardens need a function and indeed some types of gardens may not feasibly provide a function such as some roof gardens, whereas other gardens such as a vegetable garden may not need to be pleasing to the eye. Whatever the type of garden that is desired, combined with the type of garden one originally had: it must be looked at in terms of guiding principles.
Artistic PrinciplesFurther to this some more principles relating to art come in to practice in the garden. Experts often recommend that the elements of colour, form, line and texture are brought into the creative process of garden design. There are a variety of ways in which colour can be used to create a beautiful garden. It can be used to create simplicity and balance with the simple repetition of three colours or to draw additional light into a sheltered garden. Colour can also be used to reflect different themes that have meaning for the users of the garden or it can be preserved in different plants which reflect different seasons. Indeed different plants can create a different garden look for all four seasons. The form of the garden is also important as this can re-designate space, making a small garden appear larger for example and capture different ideas and themes such as weeping plant forms surrounding a water feature. The design of a garden can also dictate where the human eye glances by using effective lines in the garden. For example focal points such as a statue in a rose garden or a humming bird in a cutting garden can both be complementary to a chosen theme or function of a garden. Other ways of making use of line include the use of twin objects at either end of a garden path that will draw people to the end. The use of art in garden design can become fairly complex as it draws together a knowledge of art and aesthetics and also a knowledge of horticulture. It is useful to refer to a professional garden designer if you are not prepared to undertake extensive research on both subjects as there are numerous faux pas that are easy to make -- such as the misuse of accent boulders. A white square boulder complemented by a red, round boulder creates an inconsistency of character that disrupts themes and causes imbalance. Diverse DisciplinesIt is also worth mentioning at this point that depending on the size, location, needs, desires and current condition of the garden a lot of work may need to be undertaken from a diverse range of disciplines such as hard landscaping, planting, carpentry, architecture, stone masonry, sculpting and electrics. This is because different people have different lifestyles and want gardens to suit different purposes. Someone who desires a low maintenance garden may require work from a stone mason, carpenter and an architect as gardens that contain more wood and stone require less maintenance than those with a range of plants to attend to. A family's garden might also have differing needs to suit. Lighting is popular now and it can also serve as a safety as well as an aesthetic measure for families with children. Effective lighting in a well designed garden that is used to accentuate certain features can increase the value of a house which is why new disciplines such as electrics have been introduced more recently in garden design. While these newer disciplines allow greater creative scope and choice, the difficulty in using all these disciplines is it requires the skills of project management and it can be incredibly time consuming. The use of a professional designer can eliminate these problems and also ensure that homeowners profit and reap the benefits of a garden with lighting and other desirable features at the time of resale. Good garden design, then, is a complex undertaking, requiring much research and planning. Careful consideration needs to be given to guiding principles, key factors, artistic elements, a range of disciplines and investment to create the ideal garden which can often be best augmented by consultation with the experts. . |

Unserious Democrats on the nation's debt
How serious are Democrats about balancing the nation's budget? On Thursday, President Obama offered Republicans a plan to avoid the fiscal cliff: $1.6 trillion in tax increases, $400 billion in spending cuts, $50 billion in new spending, and unilateral presidential authority to raise the debt ceiling. "The offer lacks any concessions to Republicans," The Washington Post reported.
Sen. Jeanne Shaheen helpfully illustrated the Democrats' attitude during an interview with MSNBC on Tuesday. After saying that no sacred cows should be spared when it comes to reducing the federal debt and avoiding the fiscal cliff, she said we should "take Social Security off the table."
"Social Security has not contributed to the debt and the deficits," Shaheen asserted. That is false. Social Security benefits payments have been greater than its revenues since 2009. Last year Social Security ran a $46 billion deficit. "Now, Social Security is sucking money out of the Treasury," The Washington Post reported in October of 2011.
Democrats want substantial tax hikes, paltry spending cuts and unsustainable entitlement spending left largely untouched.
This is what passes for fiscal seriousness on the eve of President Obama's second term.

- When I arrived at the Minsk Arena, Dinamo had already ended the practice, Kulak (Alexander Kylakov, player) saw me and said: "Oh, Mešok (literal meaning of the word is "bag" but since it was written with capital m, I assume it's some diminutive versions of Mikhail) arrived!". we stood there some time, talked and laughed.
I remember, you always said that you ponder every career move with your father. Did you discuss with him this time and did he support on your return to Belarus?
- Both dad and I wanted one thing - that I would play regularly (have regular game practice).
Miš, judging by voice, you're now on much better mood than when we last talked when I called you in Canada.
- Of course. Now there's certainty. I know what I will fight for. And in Canada wasn't allowed to play nor explained anything (this sentence was bit blurry for me. Home is home. Russian talk around. And food will be normal, not in some fast food place.
By the way, can the lack of play time disadvantage your game in Dinamo?
- I don't think so. The main thing is that I have huge will to play. It's more important.

Delicious! My entire family loved this bread. I added some chocolate chips and oatmeal to the batter. My picky little son couldn't get enough. This ones a keeper.

I use basically this same recipe, but mine calls for 5 bananas & three eggs, along with a little cinnamon. It makes for a much more moist recipe, less cake like.

I used 1 cup pecans and baked it in a 9x13 pan. My family loves it and i make often

This is such a great and easy recipe. It definitely makes a great base to play with. I made it today with walnuts instead of pecans. I added in two tablespoons of flaxseed mill, 1 teaspoon of cinnamon, and an extra banana. Then I baked it in a bundt pan instead of the two loaves. It turned out great. The flaxseed is so healthy for you and adds a nice nutty flavor. It also makes it a bit more brown and a little less yellow.

Very good! I added 1tsp cinnamon to the batter and it was great. I also added a streusel topping, but I don't think it really needed it. It was sweet enough as it was! I cooked my second batch for only 38min so that it was a little bit softer in the middle they way I like it. Very easy!

Nokia lightens Dark Knight with Batman blower
The cased crusader
Nokia has created a run of limited edition Lumia 800 handsets to tie in with Christopher Nolan's next Batman blockbuster, The Dark Knight Rises.
Journalists were shown six minutes of the forthcoming Batman epic at a media event in London yesterday, where they were also given the chance to see Nokia's batphone in the flesh, Jon Choo blogs.
Now before you get your hopes up, just 40 of the bodacious blowers have been produced, so the likelihood of getting your mitts on one is as slim as the film incorporating a scene where Alfred tucks an inebriated Bruce Wayne into bed. What a heartwarming moment that would be.
Holy Windows Phone Batman...
The handset is essentially a Lumia 800 with a Dark Knight logo carved into the rear, but that's one badass symbol of macho, and anyone lucky enough to receive one will no doubt be the envy of batfans round the world.
The Dark Knight Rises flies onto the big screen next summer, where Christian Bale will once again don the famed batsuit and blubber heroic cheese incoherently for two hours or so. I can't wait. ®
Q: Why were only 40 produced?
A: They did a study of the market demand for Nokia WinPhones beforehand...

Some of the limitations in the mail client in S60 3rd Edition FP2 are in Symbian^3. I have reported it to Nokia several times and got confirmation back from management and you can see how well that worked. For every BCC you have, it send the message individually.

Insects in the ear
Disease Information
When children play outside, especially in the warmer months, it's not unusual for insects to fly into the ear and become trapped. Sometimes, the insect dies after entering the ear; other times, it may remain alive and attempt to work its way back out of the ear. In either case, the insect can cause fear and discomfort for your child, and the insect should be removed immediately.

Consumer groups cheer arrival of online health insurance menu
The White House on Thursday launched one of the earliest and most tangible reforms found in the Democrats' new healthcare law: a Web-based menu allowing consumers to one-stop shop for health insurance.
The effort is a work in progress: cost estimates for the private plans, for instance, won't be posted until October. Still, Democratic leaders and consumer advocates are cheering the development, arguing that it will empower consumers to find the health coverage best suited to individual needs.
"Before you make decisions, you need to know what your options are," Kathleen Sebelius, head of the Health and Human Services Department, said Thursday during the program's launch. "And too many Americans have no idea."
The arrival of the Web tool comes as Republicans are attacking the new health reform law on all fronts, hoping that their near-unanimous opposition to the bill will pay dividends with voters in November. Democrats, though, have hardly shied away from ownership of the reforms. Instead, they've trumpeted the arrival of every new benefit that comes along, also in hopes of swaying votes in the midterms. The new insurance finder is the latest effort in that public campaign.Using the new Web tool, consumers can tap information on more than 5,500 private plans sponsored by more than 1,000 insurers nationwide, Sebelius said. Additionally, every plan under Medicaid and the Children's Health Insurance Program is listed. New high-risk plans targeting those with pre-existing conditions, which HHS launched Thursday, are included as well.
Jenny Sullivan, senior health policy analyst at Families USA, a consumer group, said the tool is "pretty phenomenal."
"You're about three clicks away from personalized coverage," she said.
The new website also includes information about coming provisions of the health reform law. Consumers searching for individual private plans, for example, will find a warning that "the current marketplace creates several challenges for the consumer." Another click indicates that, beginning in 2014, "these same plans won't be able to turn down anyone who has a pre-existing condition" — a stipulation of the Democrats' legislation.
Asked Thursday if certain elements of the website are political, Sebelius defended the tool, saying it's simply designed to provide consumers with information. "It's factually correct," she said.
Sebelius also tried to mitigate privacy concerns surrounding the new website.
"We are not collecting or storing information; we are not selling anything to anyone," she said. "There is no capacity or interest."

Recent Strides in Securing Our Financial Future
Bucknell's strategic success to-date is the result of sound financial planning and generous support from alumni, parents, friends and organizations. Gifts since 2006 have supported academics, residential life, diversity initiatives and efforts to build bridges between Bucknell and the world. These include:
- Gifts to support multiple strategic priorities
- Gifts and grants for scholarships
- Professorships in environmental studies, music, French , and poetry and creative writing
- Academic facilities and resources: Mooney Lab, Environmental Center and related curricular efforts, Rooke Chemistry Building
- Diversity enhancement and education
Strategic financial modeling
To manage its resources strategically as it implements The Plan for Bucknell, Bucknell has established in Integrated Financial Model -- a planning tool that:
- provides a flexible tool allowing Bucknell to investigate multiple options in developing its financial plans and initiatives, and
- responds to 'what-if' questions, compares multiple forecasts of future assumptions
Campus Master Plan
In fall 2006, Bucknell hired the distinguished firm of Shepley Bulfinch to help us develop a Campus Master Plan to provide the blueprint for the future of our campus buildings, infrastructure and green space over the next 75 years. The Campus Master Plan ensures that Bucknell remains one of the most attractive and functionally effective living and learning environments anywhere.
Comprehensive campaign
To accelerate our progress even further, Bucknell must secure its financial future by acquiring the resources to:
- Provide scholarships to recruit diverse classes of highly qualified students from all socioeconomic backgrounds.
- Increase its endowment, especially the ratio of endowment per student, to reduce dependence on tuition.
- Establish endowed professorships to recruit and retain the best senior teacher-scholars.
- Forge ahead in implementing the Campus Master Plan, which outlines plans for new academic buildings in addition to Academic West (Academic East, an Art Building) and residence halls.
- Expand and enhance existing academic centers and create new ones based on emerging campus initiatives
- Support faculty development, innovation, undergraduate research and student leadership.
To achieve all these objectives - and to reach its vision - Bucknell launched the private phase of a $500 million comprehensive campaign in July 2007. We publically launched the campaign in fall 2012. || Related link: We Do. The Campaign for Bucknell University

Through a diversity of materials, philosophies and solutions, sculpture students are encouraged to mine the boundaries of their potential, challenge the notions of contemporary art and be a creative force in the evolution of our culture. All of this takes place in an environment of high expectations regarding self-motivation, intellectual capacity and responsibility. Sculpture students are encouraged to explore many media, to meet a wide range of visiting artists from all over the country, and to experiment with various ways of working. The sculpture program, utilizing approximately 7,000 square feet of studio space, maintains an experimental approach while supporting traditional media. Equipped shops include wood, metals, foundry, plaster and new media. The goal of this program is to give students an atmosphere conducive to self-determination and intellectual growth.Sculpture Faculty

28 January 2004
Oxoid Diagnostic Reagent VDRL and TPHA Kits can provide laboratories with inexpensive, easy-to-perform and rapid tools for the diagnosis of syphilis - a disease the incidence of which continues to rise in the UK.
Following a House of Commons Health Committee Report in June 2003 that showed that the UKs sexual health services were in crisis1, in September the government announced an extra £11m of funding for sexual health services2. However, no funding was specifically allocated for microbiology and laboratory services or for diagnosis of the "traditional" STIs such as syphilis and yet rates of infection with this disease continue to rise.
Figures from the Health Protection Agency show that between 2001 and 2002 syphilis diagnoses went up by 67% and 33% in males and females respectively3 and according to the Health Committee report, in the last 6 years syphilis rates have increased by 500%1.
The causative organism of syphilis is Treponema pallidum, a spirochaete which cannot be grown on culture media or in tissue culture. The infection is normally diagnosed by the detection of antibody specific for Treponema pallidum in the patient's blood or CSF. Detection of the antibody becomes possible after 3-4 weeks following infection.
Two groups of antibodies are formed in response to infection. The first group - reagin antibodies - are antibodies reactive with non- treponemal antigens and are normally found in the active disease. These can be detected by using the Oxoid VDRL Carbon Antigen Test (DR525M). This rapid agglutination test is simple to perform. 50 µl of test sample is spread over a test circle on the cards provided and one drop of antigen is added. The card is then rotated for 8 minutes. Large aggregates in the centre or periphery of the test circle indicate strongly or moderately reactive sera.
The second group are antibodies reactive with the specific antigens of T. pallidum . These specific antibodies persist long after the infection has been successfully treated. The Oxoid TPHA test is a sensitive passive haemagglutination test specifically for the detection of antibodies to Treponema pallidum . When diluted positive samples are mixed with the test cell suspension in a microtitre plate, antibody to the sensitising antigen causes agglutination of the cells. The cells form a characteristic pattern in the bottom of the plate well - agglutinated cells form an even layer over the bottom of the well; non-agglutinated cells form a compact button at the centre of the well; weakly agglutinated cells form a characteristic ring pattern. Agglutination of the Test cells but not the Control cells indicates the presence of specific antibody to T. pallidum..
For more information on the Oxoid Diagnostic Reagent VDRL and TPHA tests please contact Val Kane on +44 (0) 1256 841144, fax + 44 (0) 1256 329728 or email: firstname.lastname@example.com.

text: The works of sculptor John Kennedy elegantly embody this dictum of the early Modernist painter. Beginning with the human body as the point of departure, he distills personal memories, visual observations and deeply felt emotional responses into an elemental shorthand that evokes the fundamental qualities of human relationship. This, for Kennedy, is the "common denominator between us all" and the inspiration that propels his creative activity.

Atlanta Leader
Atlanta Leader – Local Atlanta News & Georgia HeadlinesThe Atlanta Leader is essentially a local Atlanta newspaper, but with a national and international perspective, designed to provide readers with a one-stop shop for Atlanta, national US, regional, and world news coverage, weather and sports information, with live updates on breaking business stories, and what's happening in the financial markets.
The biggest advantage we have is that we are an online newspaper, which means we are constantly refreshing our stories as more and more information comes to hand. Often when a story breaks the initial details are sketchy.
We and our sources around the world work hard to gather more information, verify facts, and provide a perspective of the major stories. Expert opinion often accompanies our articles to better inform readers, and provide a more complete understanding
of the news we deliver.
Financial markets and business reports are regular features as we pin down what's happening, and constantly refresh stock market indice readings, dollar currency rates, and breaking business news reports. Our world sports coverage is a priority, as is our regional news.
We like to think if you're looking for breaking news out of Atlanta, Georgia, the United States, or the world, you'll look for it first at the Atlanta Leader.

Community CarShare
Other CarSharing Organizations
CarSharing organizations now exist in most major cities across Canada, making this innovative form of transportation available to more Canadians than ever before. While the CarSharing movement took off in Europe more than 20 years ago, CarSharing first came to Canada and North America in 1994 with the establishment of Communauto in Quebec. The first co-operative CarShare established in Canada was Modo in Vancouver in 1996 (formerly known as The Co-operative Auto Network), and Community CarShare became the first carsharing organization to operate in Ontario in 1998.

Gordian's Knot(search on Board Game Geek)
This puzzle has been getting quite a buzz in the mechanical puzzle community. Franz de Vreugd, a good friend of mine and designer of this, which he originally called "Extreme Torture" (there's a simpler version out there called just "Torture"), managed to convince Thinkfun to create his puzzle. Or, probably more like the hordes of puzzle collectors were just angling for a good, high-quality, affordable commercial version; ones I've seen have been either prototype-like and break too easily; or made by a skilled craftsman out of mahogany and pine and cost upwards of $100. Anyway, even if you're not into puzzles, you'll probably find the back-and-forth sliding movements reasonably satisfying (although I can assure you that there are definitely harder take-apart puzzles).

Affordable Storage Without Compromise
Experience Enterprise-caliber storage at a great value. The Spectra® T120 library offers up to 360 TB of capacity and a feature set commonly found on larger libraries.
The Spectra T120 library is easy to use, manage, and maintain. Installation and configuration is quick and simple, and component redundancy ensures the highest of reliability. Highly flexible, the T120 allows you to start with the features you need now, and add features and capacity as your data grows and backup requirements change.

Detailed reporting mitigates media problems and restore issues, allowing you to proactively remaster data onto new media before you need it. For further integrity, MLM PreScan™ tape verification ensures that newly imported tapes are in good health and ready to use.

Office of the President 300 N.E. Second Avenue Miami, Florida 33132-2297 305-237-3316 firstname.lastname@example.com
Friday, November 02, 2007
Each November, I look forward to those eight special days when downtown Miami becomes the center of the literary world, as hundreds of thousands of book lovers converge in our city to celebrate some of the most important names in contemporary literature.
The 2007 Miami Book Fair International (MBFI) begins this Sunday, Nov. 4, and continues through Nov. 11, with an exciting selection of readings and discussions from prizewinning, bestselling and emerging authors from around the world.
Hundreds of renowned authors, including Michael Ondaatje, Edwidge Danticat, Nikki Giovanni, Edna Buchanan, Ana Castillo, Amy Stewart, Richard Russo, Caroline Kennedy Schlossberg, Jenna Bush, Chris Abani, Diane Ackerman, Ralph Nader and Erica Jong, will present their works during the Evenings With... series and the Festival of Authors.
As in recent years, the 2007 Fair offers the Children's Alley, the International Village, Ibero-American and Caribbean Authors Programs, and the Nov. 9-11 Street Fair. This year, MBFI introduces the Translation Market -- a ground-breaking event on Nov. 8 that will give attendees the opportunity to meet industry professionals, while gaining a deeper sense of the world literature market through the discovery of new international books and writers.
As always, College employees and students may attend all of the Book Fair events free of charge by presenting an MDC ID card. Please remember, however, that advance tickets are required for the 2007 Evenings With...series.
Thanks are due to the staff of the Florida Center for the Literary Arts (FCLA), especially, executive director Alina Interian, Book Fair director Delia Lopez, and the many Book Fair volunteers at the College and throughout the community who make this unparalleled literary event possible.
If you have not already signed up as a Fair volunteer and are interested, please register at: http://www.miamibookfair.com/mbfi/volunteer.htm.
I hope to see you at the Fair.
Thank you,
