The India Fund, Inc. Announces Commencement Date Of Semi-Annual Repurchase Offer
Feb 22, 2013, 09:27 EST
PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 22, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- The India Fund, Inc. (NYSE: IFN) (the "Fund") announced today that the Fund's semi-annual repurchase offer will commence today and terminate on March 15, 2013. In April 2003, stockholders of the Fund voted to adopt an interval fund structure, pursuant to which the Fund conducts periodic repurchase offers for between 5% and 25% of the Fund's outstanding common stock. Accordingly, the Fund's Board of Directors (the "Board") authorized the Fund's repurchase offer for this semi-annual period of up to 5% of its outstanding common stock, the details of which are as follows:
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20121106/NE07292LOGO)
Purpose of the Repurchase Offer – The repurchase offer is intended to provide Fund stockholders who wish to have their shares repurchased based on net asset value ("NAV") with the opportunity to have at least a portion of such shares repurchased.
What to Expect – The repurchase offer will begin on February 22, 2013, and will end on March 15, 2013. Materials will be sent to stockholders of record as of February 15, 2013, in conjunction with the start of the repurchase offer on February 22, 2013.
Price – The repurchase price of the shares will be their NAV per share at the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") on March 22, 2013. The shares tendered in the repurchase offer will be subject to a repurchase fee of 2% of NAV for expenses directly related to the repurchase offer.
Number of Shares – If more than 5% of the Fund's outstanding common stock is tendered, the Fund will either (1) repurchase all of the additional shares tendered, if the additional shares do not exceed 2% of the Fund's outstanding common stock, or (2) purchase 5% of the Fund's outstanding common stock on a pro-rata basis.
Deadline – The deadline for participating in the repurchase offer is 5:00 p.m. New York City time on March 15, 2013. The NAV of the shares may fluctuate between the deadline and March 22, 2013, the pricing date of the repurchase offer. The payment date for the repurchase offer is on or before March 28, 2013.
The Fund's common stock has at times traded at a premium to the Fund's NAV per share. It may not be in a stockholder's interest to tender shares in connection with this repurchase offer if the Fund's common stock is trading at a premium. The market price of the Fund's common stock can and does fluctuate. Accordingly, on March 22, 2013, the pricing date for this repurchase offer, the market price of the Fund's common stock may be above or below the Fund's NAV per share.
To obtain the daily NAV or the NYSE closing price of the Fund's common stock, or for questions concerning the repurchase offer or for requests for the Fund's repurchase offer materials, stockholders should contact Georgeson Inc. ("Georgeson"), the Fund's Information Agent, toll free at 1-866-297-1264, or, for banks or brokers, at 212-440-9800.
Neither the Fund, its Board, nor the Investment Manager, is making any recommendation to any stockholder whether to tender shares in the repurchase offer. The Fund and the Board urge stockholders to read and evaluate the repurchase offer materials carefully before deciding whether to participate in the repurchase offer. This announcement is not an offer to purchase nor a solicitation of an offer to sell shares of the Fund. The repurchase offer is being made only through the Offer to Repurchase and the related Letter of Transmittal and upon the terms and conditions set forth therein.

This is truly amazing ... a very professional well run site. I was in an emergency situation to find a place in New York while living and working Canada. I was too busy to make tons of calls and visit places in person. Not only did I find a great place with a great roommate... my apartment in NYC is cheaper than my rent in Canada!!! Best of all, I exerted very little energy to make it happen - Roommates.com did all the work. - Wayne
Just wanted to say thanks! I met husband using your service. Roomates.com did a great job of introducing me to many people with whom I had things in common. The last thing I expected was to find the man of my dreams. We met at the beginning of September and fell in love almost instantly. Our wedding is planned in March. This was not our goal, we were but just looking for a roomate and to save a few dollars. But we are eternally grateful and thank you so much for the connection!!!- Gail

E-mail: email@example.com
The Department of Public safety was created to maintain law and order on the campuses of Fairmont State University and Pierpont Community & Technical College by working to prevent crime and apprehending violators when crimes do occur. The department serves a diverse population of students, faculty and staff with an emphasis on the philosophy of community oriented policing. In addition to Law Enforcement and Parking control, the department is also responsible for Emergency Management preparedness efforts and is tasked with the University's Emergency Operations Plan that would be activated should a natural or man-made incident strike the campus. Coordination of the institutions' Clery program is also provided by the Public Safety Department.
The campus police section provides law enforcement and a variety of community and benevolent services. The department is staffed with full and part-time sworn and non-sworn officers. All sworn police personnel are certified by the State of West Virginia as law enforcement officers and exercise full arrest powers. Graduation from the West Virginia State Police Academy or equivalent recruit training are required as well as the completion of annual in-service training to maintain certification and competencies.
The campus is within the city limits of Fairmont, which allows the Campus Police to work closely with the Fairmont Police Department through a Mutual Aid agreement that enables both departments to work together in one another's jurisdictions upon request. The Fairmont and Campus Police Departments are also involved in a Federal Grant funded program called "Project Safe Neighborhood" that consists of joint patrols through the City and Campus to deter crime.
The Department of Public Safety also provides various other services to the campus community including:
One member of the staff is a certified Emergency Medical Responder who, in addition to also responding to medical emergencies on campus, coordinates the campus AED (automated external defibrillator) program and in-service emergency medical training for other police and security staff within the department.
The department provides students with the opportunity for employment. The office generally staffs 12 to 18 student security officers who may work as much as 20 hours per week. While many are Criminal Justice Majors, students in any course of study are welcome to apply for the program. Uniformed student officers work in pairs and/or with police and regular security officers, are radio equipped, and are routinely dispatched to provide escorts, help lock and unlock doors, enforce parking regulations, patrol the campus, and assist in parking details and event security.
The Department of Public Safety employs a Program Specialist and a Part Time Project Coordinator for the daily maintenance of the office. These employees are also responsible for processing parking tickets, taking payments, processing appeals, and distributing parking tokens and temporary parking decals. The Program Specialist also serves as a "Victim Advocate" for persons affected by the criminal actions of others and also provides assistance to officers investigating offenses concerning crimes against persons.
All of the employees of the Department of Public Safety are professional and highly motivated individuals dedicated to promoting a safe, secure, and orderly learning environment for our students, employees, and visitors.
The Mission of the Department of Public Safety is to protect, serve, and create a secure, safe, and academically sound learning environment free of crime and disorder for the students, faculty, and staff of Fairmont State University and Pierpont Community & Technical College. We will provide high quality, community-based police, security, and parking services while creating and maintaining the level of emergency preparedness necessary to meet the needs of today and the challenges of tomorrow. The department serves with integrity, discretion, and expediency in a fair, proper, and thorough manner. Our greatest asset is our personnel; our greatest strength is our partnership with the campus community.

Panel approves instant racing additions
Panel approves instant racing additions
LEXINGTON, Ky. —
Kentucky Downs has received approval for four new games and 40 additional machines at its controversial Instant Racing parlor.
The Kentucky Horse Racing Commission reportedly approved the request Tuesday despite concerns raised by member Ned Bonnie, who said the new games seem to be "moving away from historic races."
Instant Racing allows people to use a device resembling a slot machine to place bets on previously run horse races in which the identities aren't revealed until the wager is made.
Commission Chairman Bob Beck said an expert reviewed the games and found them to be pari-mutuel. State law bans wagering that isn't pari-mutuel, the lottery or charitable gambling.
Bonnie did not vote and the measure passed unopposed.

SACRAMENTO—California unions, accustomed to getting their way in the Capitol, lost some ground last year when Gov. Jerry Brown pushed through the Legislature a series of public-pension cuts that affect their members.
Now several labor groups have gone to court in an attempt to reverse some of the cuts, forcing Brown to defend legislation he used to persuade voters that he was being frugal with their tax money.
"We're just fighting for what has been promised us," said Jon Rudolph, president of the Deputy Sheriffs' Assn. of Alameda County.
The overhaul raised the retirement age and lowered the benefits for public employees hired as of Jan. 1 of this year. It also changed the way pensions are calculated, which slices into benefits for workers who were on the job before then.

Details of Michigan State Spartans and the Ticket Luck value
Michigan State Spartans
The Michigan State Spartans are the athletic teams representing Michigan State University. It includes 22 varsity sports teams. Their mascot is a Spartan warrior named Sparty. The colors are green and white. It participates in the NCAA's Division I-A and in the Big Ten Conference in all Varsity sports except ice hockey, competing in the Central Collegiate Hockey Association. Michigan State offers 14 varsity sports for men and 15 for women.
The university's current Athletic Director is Ron Mason, head hockey coach from 1979 to 2002, retiring with a 608-261-64 record at MSU. It is the only NCAA Division I Athletic program to have multiple National Championships in football, basketball, and hockey, the other being The University of Florida.
MSU's football team won the Rose Bowl in 1954, 1956, and 1988. Its men's basketball team won the NCAA National Championship in 1979 and 2000. The men's ice hockey has won national titles in 1966, 1986, and 2007. MSU's golf team won the Big Ten Championship in 1969 and again in 2005.
As an agricultural college, its origin mascot was the Aggies. In 1925, the institution changed its names to Michigan State College of Agriculture and Applied Science and decided to call the teams the "Michigan Staters". Local sports writers for the Lansing State Journal and the Capital News went through the losing entries to find a shorter and more heroic name. They decided on the "Spartans". The "Spartans" quickly caught on as the teams' new nickname. Within a few years, the College changed the lyrics of the Fight Song to reflect the name change of the College and its sports teams.
Varsity Sports
Michigan State has 22 NCAA Division I-A varsity teams: 14 varsity sports for men and 15 for women. They participate in the Big Ten Conference in all Varsity sports except ice hockey, competing in the Central Collegiate Hockey Association.
Golf has had a long tradition at MSU. Hall of Fame Coach Bruce Fossum led MSU to its first Big Ten title in 1969. The Big Ten title would escape the Spartans until 2005, when the best team ever gathered, took home the rings in stellar fashion. They captured two other titles along the way and rose all the way to #5 in the U.S.
Former Michigan State players who formerly played or currently play in Major League Baseball include Kirk Gibson, Steve Garvey, Robin Roberts, and Mark Mulder. Olympic gold medalists include Allan Kwartler, Sevatheda Fynes, and Frederick Alderman.
TJ Duckett catches the winning touchdown pass from Jeff Smoker on 4th down, as the clock runs out, to win 26-24.
Starting as a club sport in 1884, football gained varsity status in 1896. In the 1950's, MSU led the nation in reunion, allowing black athletes in all sports.
During the 1950s when Detroit was known as the world's leading automobile manufacturer, Michigan State was often referred as the nation's "football factory." Spartans than churned out impressive models like Lynn Chandnois, Dorne Dibble, Don McAulliffe, Tom Yewcic, Sonny Grandelius, Earl Morrall and Dean Look. In 1951, the Spartans finished undefeated and untied to claim a share of the national championship with Tennessee. The following year the team was again unbeaten and untied. They ended the 1952 season with the nation's longest winning streak (24 games) and were named the undoubted national champions by every official poll.
The team was finally admitted into the Big 10 as a regular member in 1953. They swiftly went on to capture the league championship and beating UCLA in their first Rose Bowl game. After the 1953 season Biggie Munn, the legendary Spartan coach, turned the team over to his responsibility and future legend Duffy Daugherty. He won the Rose Bowl in 1954 and 1956. George Perles was the head coach when the Spartans defeated USC in the Rose Bowl in January of 1988.
Ice hockey
"The Cold War"The men's ice hockey team plays at the Munn Ice Arena. The current head coach is Rick Comley, with a 116-73-19 record at MSU. Michigan State competes in the Central Collegiate Hockey Association. Along with the University of Michigan and the Ohio State University, it is one of three Big Ten schools in the CCHA.Sparty with a Hockey Jersey after Hockey team won the 2007 NCAA Men's Division I Tournament
As with other sports, the hockey rivalry between MSU and U-M is a violent one, though MSU's rivalry against Lake Superior State University has grown in recent years. On October 6, 2001, the team was involved in the most-attended hockey game in history: The Cold War. The Spartans set up a hockey rink in the middle of their football stadium, Spartan Stadium and played U-M before a crowd of 74,554. The game ended in a 3-3 tie.
The MSU ice hockey program has seven CCHA regular season championships and 11 CCHA Tournament titles. It has also won 11 Great Lakes Invitational titles. The Spartans have been in the NCAA tournament 23 times, with nine Frozen Four appearances and three national titles (1966, 1986, and 2007).

Ordered this intercooler pipe in the afternoon and it was shipped on the same day. You have to modify the support for this to fit but that is why the OEM pipe is flat and doesn't flow.Took an hour but I took off the support to do a good job on the install. Flows great and really lowered my EGT's and made the turbos really wake up. Autoanything really came through wit great service and price!

Because project labor agreements" save money in the long run, I commend the Butler County Commissioners' prudent decision to adopt a PLA for the construction of the office annex to the Government Center.
The anti-union lobby group Associated Builders and Contractors opposes PLAs, as does the county Republican committee, whose chairman Edward Natali expressed the committee's opposition in a May 2 letter ("Bad for taxpayers).
I respectfully disagree.
On construction sites of public-sector undertakings, these pre-hire, uniform agreements contribute to the careful planning of construction management by bolstering consistency, stability, efficiency and productivity.
PLAs promote not only labor-cost reduction, including no strike-and-lockout provisions, but also respect fair labor standards, including alternative dispute-resolution procedures, all to avoid costly construction stoppages.
I found no credible evidence PLAs increase project costs: Such claims, as disseminated by PLA opponents, are usually based on inconclusive data, faculty assumptions and flawed methodology.
In my opinion, PLAs have a favorable impact on public projects as a PLA tends to guarantee its completion on time and on schedule.
Finally, PLAs are not "union-only" accords; contrary to what Republican Party minions purport, all contractors can bid on any PLA-related ventures; if nonunion builders choose not to bid, then it's at their own, sole discretion.

National veterans coalition endorses Bob Smith for NH Senate seat
August 23. 2014 11:00PM
Former U.S. Sen. Bob Smith on Saturday picked up the endorsement of the National Vietnam & Gulf War Veterans Coalition in his bid to become the Republican candidate for the seat held by Democratic Sen. Jeanne Shaheen.
Smith, a Navy veteran of the Vietnam War, previously served on the House Veterans Affairs Committee and on the U.S. Senate Armed Services Committee.
Smith said he was "extremely honored and pleased" to receive the coalition's endorsement.
Coalition chairman John Molloy said in a letter that Smith's "experience, leadership and patriotism are especially needed in the Senate" in these times, and said Smith's "proven courage" fighting on behalf of American POW-MIAs proves his ability to deal with adversity.

Pitbull was given a warm welcome when he arrived at a small town in Alaska after internet pranksters hijacked an online promotional competition and sent him to one of the most remote areas.
The star asked fans to vote for their local Walmart store on Facebook.com, and he promised to perform at the place which got most 'likes' on the site.
However, the campaign was picked up by comedy website Somethingawful.com and users were urged to send him to the tiny town of Kodiak in Alaska.
Pitbull kept his promise and was greeted by hundreds of fans when he arrived there on Monday (30Jul12). He was also treated to a performance by traditional Alutiiq dancers and handed a 'care package' which included bear repellent.
In a post on his Twitter.com account, he uploaded a snap of himself cradling a local baby, and wrote, "Thank U (sic) Kodiak... I am honored, truly."

Might Seafair 2013 be Blue Angels-free? Although the Angels have officially canceled performances in April - thanks to sequestration-related budget cuts - Melissa A. Jurcan, Seafair's director of sales, marketing & communications says looking into the future any further is purely speculatory at this point. Jurcan says Seafair is still hopeful to have the Blue Angels this year, calling the annual performance "an important tradition in Seattle."
"The only news that has been released thus far is that the Blues have cancelled four April performances. No other cancellations have been announced at this time so it is speculation as far as other cancellations," Jurcan tells Seattle Weekly. "I wish I could give you an answer on a timeline, but it is entirely in the hands of the US government."
Jurcan goes on to say that if the Blue Angels do end up canceling on Seafair 2013, there is a backup plan in place - though no information on what the backup plan might be is available at this time.
"We are an event planning organization and have known this was a possibility since January. We do indeed have a back up plan," says Jurcan.
"The Blues are an important tradition in Seattle but when put in perspective to the significance of all federal cuts, we understand the decision may be to cancel," Seafair has said in a statement regarding the Blue Angels prospects at this year's event. "In anticipation of this possibility, we've been working on alternative plans to ensure our celebration and traditions continue."
While apologizing that more specifics aren't available at this point, Jurcan points to a March 11 Facebook post on the Blue Angels' page indicating the Blue Angels expect to perform "until told otherwise."
From the Blue Angels' Facebook page:
There are a lot of unanswered questions right now regarding the status of the Blue Angels 2013 air show season and practice schedule at NAS Pensacola, Fla. The Blue Angels continue to train with the expectation of performing until told otherwise. The team remains mission focused. We will keep you up-to-date if our status changes. Thank you for your continued support and flexibility. The team hopes to see you soon at your local air show.

Portable Swimming Pool to boost the water skills of young rural Maori
'If the kids can't get to the swimming pool...
... maybe the swimming pool can get to the kids.'
That's the thinking behind a portable swimming pool – gifted to Water Safety New Zealand (WSNZ) by New Zealand Post – which will be rotated around rural centres over the next five years as part of a programme to boost the water safety skills of Maori youth.
The pool – which is roughly 10x5 metres – holds 50,000 litres of water when in use, and has detachable marquees which allow it to be used come rain or shine. It caters for up to 40 students at a time and can be heated to 28 degrees Celsius, providing an ideal environment for teaching.
Its portability provides a solution to one of the main issues affecting the water safety skills of rural Maori; a lack of access to suitable, cost effective facilities that are appropriate for water safety education.
Once the pool is set up at a rural Kura Kaupapa access will be provided to as many surrounding Kura as possible, and to other members of the community to ensure maximum use of the resource. Then, in time, the pool will move on to the next location – thus living up to the 'portable' part of its name.
In the months ahead the pool will be moved to appropriate locations in the Waikato, the Bay of Plenty, East Coast / Tairawhiti and Hawke's Bay.
"This is a new way of doing things, which will enable us to teach water safety and survival skills in locations where aquatic facilities are inaccessible or unsuitable for education," Matt Claridge, the chief executive of Water Safety New Zealand says.
"Maori consistently rate as one of New Zealand's most "at-risk" groups in terms of drowning fatalities. This portable pool will encourage their safe enjoyment of water-based activities. Ultimately we hope that efforts such as this will help to make a dent in the high annual drowning toll among Maori," Matt Claridge says.
New Zealand Post's head of sponsorship, Nicola Airey, says they're delighted to be able to assist with the provision of such a practical and important resource.
"This portable pool is a great addition to 'Kia Maanu, Kia Ora! (Stay Afloat, Stay Alive)' - our partnership with WSNZ to provide water safety and survival education to young Maori.
"The Kia Maanu, Kia Ora campaign focuses on providing young Maori with the skills to educate Whanau, Iwi and members of the Maori community on staying safe while enjoying their traditional and cultural links with the water.
"This isn't simply a case of making a pool available and hoping people learn. Our partners in this campaign, Water Safety New Zealand will be tracking the progress of young Maori to ensure that their skill levels are rising," Nicola Airey said.
The portable pool swung into service this month with a powhiri ceremony at Kura Kaupapa Maori in Port Waikato.
- Maori account for approx 15% of the New Zealand population
- 22% of drowning over the past six years are Maori
- 38% of all children under 5 who drown are Maori
- 36% of all children aged 5-14 years who drown are Maori
- 84% of Maori that drown are male (New Zealand average 75%)

Apple Patent Reveals Extensive Stalking Plans:
But Apple's patent application makes it seem highly unlikely the location gathering is due to a bug. Indeed, the company outlines big plans for the troves of data it has quietly created. Apple includes an illustration of a mapping app called simply "Location History" which very much resembles the "iPhone Tracker" application expressly designed to raise alarm bells about all the data being collected (see figure 3A and 3B in the PDF embedded below, page 4-5). The patent also spells out how the location database could be "correlated or related" to other personal information, including "but not limited to: Data associated with a picture taking event, data associated with a financial transaction, sensor output data, data associated with a communication event (e.g. receipt of a phone call or instant message), data associated with a network event.... etc." (sections 0020 and 0021, on page 9 in the PDF below).

The Best Capture Card is Easy To Use:
The Avermedia Live Gamer HD PCIe capture card is really easy to install. You install it into a PCIe 1x slot on your motherboard inside your computer tower. If you ever installed a PCI card before you will know installing a 1x card is the easiest one because of how small the slot is and you do not have to line it up as much, it just falls into place. Other than the physical installation of the card the software and drivers for the capture card are pretty easy to install as long as you download the latest drivers from the manufactures website. Most software that comes with computer parts are out of date by the time you get it in the mail so it's always a good idea to check their site if you have trouble installing the drivers that come with your capture card.
Another thing that makes this the best capture card of 2016 is it comes with a USB recording button that you can easily press down to start recording with one click. No other capture cards out right now come with a external start and stop button for recording your videos which makes this one pretty special.
The Best Capture Card produces High Quality Videos:
The Avermedia Live Gamer HD capture card allows you to easily get started recording anything by using a single hdmi cable. Just plug your device into the capture card with an hdmi cable and start recording in full HD quality If you are new to capturing video or have been doing it for years the capture card's software is made for all levels. You can begin by selecting one of the three presets "Newbie, Amateur, or Pro" depending on your level of experience. The Newbie section of the software will ask you just the basic questions so you can begin capturing video. The Amateur section gives you access to a bit more settings and the Pro section gives you access to all the settings that you can use to make your video the highest quality. This capture card will record video at 1080p @30FPS or 720p @60FPS (Frams per Second). The bitrate of the video can be adjusted from 1,000kbps – 20,000kbps.
- Watch the videos to see the quality of the Best Capture Card of 2016!
The Best Capture Card has a Wide Range of Features:
The features of this capture card are great! When you buy this card you will get 3 months free of Xsplit, it's a service you can use to live stream what you are capturing onto the internet live. It comes with all of the cables needed to setup the card and get it running. The software included is perfect to capture video, no need to look for a 3rd party software to record your videos. The software is one important thing to look at when you are looking for capture cards because a lot of cards do not come with the best software. The Avermedia Live Gamer HD also has an on-board encoder to reduce the heavy load on your computer when recording video. With the on-board encoder it helps a lot if you do not have an extreme machine that you are using to record with. Therefore you do not have to upgrade your entire system to get starting making videos all you will need is a capture card installed.
For these reasons this is why I think the Avermedia Live Gamer HD is the Best Capture Card of 2016. The capture card is easy to use and setup, the card produces very high quality video and the software is made for any experience level. Lastly but, not least the capture card comes with a wide range of features and accessories to get you started recording videos within an hour or less.

I'm a 21 y/o from the San Francisco Bay Area trying to gain some muscle mass for once in my life. Though it's a kind of long and seemingly incredulous story, I've been an ardent vegetarian since before kindergarten and was the only vegetarian I knew growing up. Neither of my parents nor my sister were ever vegetarians. When I was very young, I conciously remember asking my mother where a piece of steak came from and, when she said cows, I realized it was both cruel and that I had a choice not to eat it. My mom was respectful of my wish to not eat it and, as I grew up, I found my rationale further vindicated. A few months ago, I took the rationale to its logical conclusion: strict veganism.
Growing up vegetarian (in Texas, no less!) by a mother who knew nothing about nutrition or cooking for vegetarians, I feel I probably didn't get some of the essentials to a building a normal physique and have been stuck being very skinny. As a young teenager it was mostly normal looking but as I got older and went through high school, and college, it became obvious I was stuck with the painfully skinny looking physique of a 14 year boy.
Here I am today:
- 21 y/o
- 5'10"
- 130 lbs.
(I put the last picture in because, despite being skinny, that extra skin really annoys me. I'm going to work to get rid of that. )
I'm very new to the concepts in the body building space and, as I get started, realize it'd be extremely helpful if there were people who understood my situation and could give me quick pointers on what to do.
The FDA and CDC say (link) that someone of my characteristics should weigh about 30 lbs more (160 lbs). Do you all think this is the case? I seriously can't even imagine what 30 lbs extra would look like on me. Based on stories and experiences from other people with which you all are familiar, would it be a good goal to gain those 30 lbs in mostly muscle? What is a reasonable time frame that dedicated people are usually able to accomplish that in? For such an involved project, how do they educate themselves on how to do it? Does anyone know of similar stories I could read about? I figure my case is pretty typical in the "vegan bodybuilding" space.
Sorry for the newbish questions -- like I said I'm very new to all of this. I'd greatly appreciate any guidance or suggestions you could give.

Nature Center Holds First Family Fun Night
June 11, 2009
The John T. Huston-Dr. John D. Brumbaugh Nature Center held a Family Fun Night on Friday, June 5 from 6 to 8 p.m. in the North Woods of the Nature Center.
The Nature Center sponsored family night to encourage children and parents to reconnect with nature. Grandparents, parents and children of all ages participated in activities, such as hiking and playing in the woods and roasting hot dogs and marshmallows.
Each family that participated was given a backpack to load with tools of discovery, such as magnifying glasses and bug boxes. These backpacks are regularly available for families to check out at the Nature Center Visitor's Center.
The Nature Center continues to develop plans for more family events outside.
As a member of the Children and Nature Network, the Nature Center has joined together with hundreds of other organizations across the nation to educate families about the health benefits for children of repeated exposure to nature. To learn more about the issue, visit www.childrenandnature.org.

Real Salt Lake knew it would take some time for their strategy to pay off. That's still true. But the hope remains that eventually the club's academy program in Casa Grande, Ariz., will pay massive dividends soon.
RSL's Arizona operation is unique in MLS — a residential program in the middle of the desert about 100 miles from Phoenix – the idea is to develop talent that fits in at the parent club. This is crucial for a small-market team that has seen tremendous success without splashy Designated Player signings. The future at Rio Tinto is going to come from homegrown talent, such as Nico Muñiz, the first academy graduate to join the first team.
Muñiz, a native of Albuquerque, N.M., exemplifies the possibilities of the residential program, one of only two in MLS (Vancouver also have one). The residency allows the team to draw from a wide geographic region, snagging players from underserved areas.
"There were a lot of kids that came from smaller markets, like the four corner region – Utah, New Mexico, Arizona and Colorado or the western Texas area," RSL- AZ assistant coach Freddy Juarez explained recently to MLSsoccer.com. "They don't really get the recognition because it's not big clubs. So I think we caught a lot of people by surprise last year."
The RSL-AZ setup is at the Grande Sports World resort. It features a hotel at its epicenter, and has all the amenities that a sports program could want, including workout facilities, equipment and indoor training space. There are nine soccer fields for training and games.
There are ancillary benefits, too. For the last couple of seasons, RSL have hosted a winter "combine" at the facility – a chance to bring in trialists, and get an early look at draft eligible players. The facility makes the logistics of such an event much easier. And come February, this former baseball spring training site will become a home away from home for the first team to begin their preseason training in anticipation of the MLS season.
But the focus of the program is and always will be on preparing talented kids to come into the professional ranks. The program is still in its infancy, but growing.
"We doubled the residency [now at 43 kids], so as far as recruitment it became easier with last year's success," Juarez said.
And the program is growing in stature, as well. Recently, RSL brought in US national team assistant coach Martin Vasquez as its director, a role he will hold concurrent with his USMNT duties.
Now, the real work begins: producing the next generation of RSL stars.

International Relations Major
International Relations
The Bachelor of Arts in International Relations is the largest interdisciplinary program in the College of Arts and Sciences. Its curriculum provides a well-rounded education for students interested in global issues and the challenge of advanced foreign language coursework. The study of Spanish, French, German, Russian, Arabic, Chinese, Japanese or Italian is coupled with a broad exposure to the social sciences and humanities approaches to the problems facing the modern world, including human rights, economic development, ethnic conflicts and the role of supranational organizations. Students have the opportunity to study abroad and participate in internships with international organizations through Kent State's Semester Abroad in Geneva, Switzerland.
Combined Baccalaureate/Master's Program in the College of Arts and Sciences and the Graduate School of Management Leading to the Bachelor of Arts and Master of Business Administration Degrees: Students must be International Relations majors and complete their undergraduate coursework in the first three years of study. In addition, students must pass a language proficiency exam, have a cumulative GPA of 3.30 and earn a minimum GMAT score of 525 before being admitted to the M.B.A program. In the fourth year of this combined program, students take graduate business courses that are applicable to the undergraduate degree as electives and to the M.B.A degree as foundation coursework. During the final year, students take advanced graduate business coursework leading to the M.B.A degree.
Career Opportunities
While the best known career opportunity for students in International Relations is diplomacy, graduates find employment in many other fields. A variety of governmental organizations, such as the State, Commerce and Defense Departments, Homeland Security and national intelligence and security agencies, seek out students with training in International Relations.
International organizations, such as the United Nations and its affiliated agencies, similarly desire employees with the broad background a baccalaureate degree in International Relations provides. Non-governmental organizations with interests in refugee assistance, economic development, fair trade, human rights and immigration regularly hire students with an International Relations degree.
Private sector positions are available in financial, research and lobbying firms and in multi-national corporations with business interests around the globe.
Recent graduates with degrees in International Relations often apply to serve in the Peace Corps, an agency of the United States government which provides economic and social development assistance to developing countries and their citizens around the world. International organizations and corporations often seek out individuals who have had this worthwhile and rewarding experience abroad.
The undergraduate International Relations degree also prepares students for the rigors of graduate school in a wide range of areas including international affairs, political science, public policy, economic development and business management. Additionally many graduates go on to pursue law degrees with a focus on international law.

Plum Island's Future
...the town will be conducting a planning study over the next year-and-a-half to determine future zoning regulations. ...
Supervisor Russell asserted last summer and again this week that "no high end subdivisions" will find their way onto the island. "We have plenty of those in town," he said.
John Nickles, co-owner of Lewis and Nickles Real Estate, cited a resort development as the island's "prime use," though admitted the laboratories wouldn't be quite suitable for it. As far as a price tag goes, "Robins Island was the last island sold, for $11 million. Though Plum Island could be stigmatized," he added. On a per-acre analysis, adjusted for inflation, Plum Island's land value alone would compare to $32.3 million, not counting any infrastructure considerations or perception of ecological blemish.
"I'm curious to see what happens myself," Donielle Cardinale, of Cardinale Realty Group, commented. "It's hard to put a price on any kind of stigma that might be attached to the island, but you can't put a price on the uniqueness of the island either. It isn't that often that islands are sold around here. The market value will be determined by whoever comes in and puts a price on it, which will depend on the uses that they're looking for there."

To me it brings back memories
Bry nailed it really fast, it's the opening credit sequence to Taxi, the Danny DeVito, Judd Hirsch, Andy Kaufman, Tony Danza, and Marilu Henner sitcom. Great show. I watched this as a 7 year old, and it still entertains me, but now I can appreciate the writing, the acting, and the funny characters much more. Reverend Jim and Latka are two really well performed characters.

Grateful Dead
Dave's Picks Volume 2
July 31, 1974
Subscriber's Only
Bonus Disc Cover.
Dave's Picks Volume 2 is officially SOLD OUT.
Stay tuned for an upcoming seaside chat with David Lemieux as part of our Dave's Picks series.
We warned you. We said there was a chance that the limited edition Dave's Picks releases could sell out. And sure enough, Volume 1 is a goner. No copies left. (OK, even we were a little surprised it sold out so quickly.)
Which brings us to Dave's Picks, Volume 2. The thousands of you who bought the full-year Dave's Picks subscription have nothing to worry about. Your CDs (and the bonus disc that comes with this one for subscribers) will be winging their way to you shortly. But NOW is the time when all you other good people who are interested in purchasing this potent slice of Dead history can submit your orders.
The show in question is a three-set wonder from Hartford's Dillon Stadium during the heart of the Wall of Sound era, July 31, 1974, four days after the release of the Dead's fine Mars Hotel album. Dwarfed by the Wall's irregular columns of speakers on a hot and humid Wednesday afternoon, the band thrilled the sold-out crowd of 20,000 with a far-ranging collection of tunes and jams that showed how far they'd come as musicians, songwriters and interpreters of others' songs in their decade together.
The 12-song first set kicks off with the still-new "Scarlet Begonias" (opening a show for the first of just three times in the Dead's entire history), and includes such other early '70s favorites as "Jack Straw," "Brown-Eyed Women," a pairing of "Mississippi Half-Step" and "Must've Been the Roses" and "Row Jimmy." The '73-'74 versions of "China Cat Sunflower" > "I Know You Rider" have a unique character, and this one exemplifies that nicely.
Things start to open up a bit more in the second set. An expansive "Eyes of the World" is partnered with a particularly fragile "China Doll" mid-set, and the concluding take on the complete "Weather Report Suite" is filled with impressive shifts in dynamics and purposeful jamming during a 12-minute "Let It Grow." That set also has a good "Big River" and an excellent "Ship of Fools" (another new song that year).
Set Three starts with a couple of short selections, hits an early emotional peak with one of the better versions of "To Lay Me Down" from that era, and then really goes into gear with the onset of "Truckin'," so often a gateway to wondrous possibilities. This one rumbles and wanders and flits and crashes and dashes all over the place during a half-hour exploration that includes what is popularly called the "Mind Left Body" jam and a full-blown Spanish jam, before eventually winding up at the docks for a deep "Wharf Rat." The set closer, "U.S. Blues," was one of the anchors of the Mars Hotel album (and an FM radio hit at the time); a perfect summer anthem.
All Dave's Picks releases are mastered to HDCD specs from the original vault tapes by Jeffrey Norman, and include a booklet containing an essay about the show and period photos. The Digipak is made of 100% recycled and PCW materials on heavier paper stock due to high demand. The limited edition consists of 12,000 numbered copies.

David Lemieux sits down for a seaside chat about his favorite moments on Dave's Picks, Volume 2: Dillon Stadium, Hartford, CT - 7/31/74 and sheds a little light on how Dave's Picks are selected. Watch the video here:
still shows up from time to time!
Four and a half years later?
It's fun the roam around these old boards - remember Cosmic Badger?
It's fun to read these old comment boards. Little did we suspect this release would be commanding beaucoup bucks on the secondary market.
Hey all,
I signed up for Dave's Picks last November, paid the subscription fee, but have only received Dave's Picks Vol 1. Anyone else have a similar experience? I never got Dave's Picks Vol 2 or the bonus disc for subscribers. Through close to two months, a dozen emails and several phone calls, I haven't been able to get any satisfactory answer to "where is my order", until today, when I was told Dave's Picks Vol 2 is on back order. So I'm a little bit frustrated, and I've asked for a refund. Honestly, I mainly signed up to be a supporter of the larger, ongoing Dead operation. Putting my money where my mouth is, so to speak. It's not like I have any shortage of quality shows to listen to, so I don't feel like I'm missing out on a whole lot by not getting volumes 2, 3, and 4 or the bonus disc. But I am surprised by how shabbily I was treated as a customer. Probably the worst customer service experience I've had, well, ever. Comcast is more responsive.
I was told I should get at least a partial refund. So that's something. But I don't think I'll be ordering anything else from Dead.Net in the future...
Excited to see Phil, Bobby, and Mickey at All Good, though
It sounds to me like Bob is singing "They Never stopped 'Drockin'..." on this song from 7/31/74....
All thru it he sounds like he's singing 'Drockin' instead of 'Rockin'.
Anyone else pick up on this????
...they'd have somethin' up on the solstice...nice!
Jun 20, 2012 - 6:30PM
Join us at Terrapin Crossroads on Wednesday, June 20, for a Dave's Picks Vol. 3 listening party followed by another installment of our Storytellers series! From 6:30-7:30, David Lemieux will play selections from the brand new Grateful Dead archival release CD, and from 7:30 to 8:30 he will join J.C. Juanis in conversation about music releases, the audiovisual archives, and whatever else comes up. To reserve a spot for this FREE event, call 415-524-2773. Space is limited.88
I loved that show... I loved that whole run. That would be fine with me!
I just went back to the original page announcing Dave's Picks with all of the dates floating around. One of them was 11/22/84 at the Berkeley Community Theatre. That's my guess...
Agreed - with the convention of switching band composition for releases, I would agree with a pre or post Donna release is up next. Personally, I'd love a 68 or 69 show (Ark woulld be nice . . . but what a grate run to release? ) but I think something like 10/26/89 or something from the Bruce/Vince era will be in the next 2 releases. As a Dead omnivore, I find moments to love in each era and am grateful for Dave and Jeffrey Norman for all of their work.

The Good News—Bush Finally Has a Plan
The bad news—it's an ill-defined muddle.
The most remarkable thing about the document President George W. Bush released today, titled National Strategy for Victory in Iraq, is that it was released today (and written not much earlier—it's authored by the National Security Council and dated November 2005).
It is symptomatic of everything that's gone wrong with this war that, after two and a half years of fighting it (and four years after starting to plan it), the White House is just now getting around to articulating a strategy for winning it.
To put this in perspective: From December 1941 to August 1945, the U.S. government mobilized an entire nation; manufactured a mighty arsenal; played a huge role in defeating the armies, air forces, and navies of Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan; and emerged from battle poised to shape the destiny of half the globe. By comparison, from September 2001 to December 2005, the U.S. government has advanced to the point of describing a path to victory in a country the size of California.
Now, what about this path—the strategy for victory—and the speech that President Bush gave at the U.S. Naval Academy this morning to promote it?
The document and the speech are better than previous efforts. They're more detailed. They identify not just some ultimate ideal (defeat the terrorists or spread freedom throughout the world), but specific, achievable stages of success along the way. The speech even acknowledges that mistakes have been made—only tactical errors, involving the poorly wrought initial approaches to training Iraqi security forces, but still, publicly admitting any error is a first for this president. The NSC document goes still further and frankly specifies many of the "challenges"—political, military, and economic—yet to be overcome.
Had the president made this speech and issued this report a year or two ago, they would have been seen as hallmark statements; they might even have shaped the ensuing debate.
But the debate has now shifted—a result of the rising casualties in Iraq, the diminishing support for the war at home, and the growing demand for troop withdrawals from even once-hawkish quarters. Bush, in fact, gave the speech and ordered the report precisely to deal with this shift—and both must be deemed failures, because they don't really deal with it at all.
First, though the document is called a "strategy for victory," Bush doesn't clearly define either term. And even where he defines the terms nebulously or inconsistently, he doesn't tie them to the more pressing questions now consuming public discussion of the war: What do we do now? When can we start to pull out—under what circumstances, with what sorts of troops remaining, to what end, for how long?
In the speech, Bush says (as he has said many times before), "We will stay as long as necessary to complete the mission." But what is the mission? At one point he says, "When our mission of training the Iraqi security forces is complete, our troops will return home to a proud nation." However, a bit later, he says the mission will be complete "when the terrorists and Saddamists can no longer threaten Iraq's democracy," and he adds, "I will settle for nothing less than complete victory."
So, which is it: Our job is done when the Iraqis can fight the bad guys on their own—or when the bad guys are defeated? Those are two very different standards, involving very different benchmarks of progress.
As was widely reported ahead of time, Bush focused much of his speech on, as he put it, "the real progress" made this year in training Iraqi soldiers and police. Many observers—including this one—inferred from this that the speech would mark a prelude to (if not an announcement of) a substantial American troop withdrawal. After all, the president has said many times, "As the Iraqis stand up, we will stand down." Here they are, suddenly standing up; therefore …
To the extent that President Bush explicitly addressed this point this morning—which, after all, is the central issue in the debate raging now—he sent (perhaps calculatedly) a mixed message.
On the one hand, he said (reprising his "stay the course" theme): "Pulling our troops out before they achieve their purpose is not a plan for victory. … America will not run in the face of car bombers and assassins, so long as I am your commander in chief. … We will not abandon Iraq." He acknowledged (as he has many times before): "This will take time—and patience. … There will be tough days ahead." Troop levels will be adjusted, up or down, by commanders' assessments of facts on the ground, "not by artificial timetables set by politicians in Washington."
On the other hand, he said that as the situation improves in Iraq, our mission will "shift from providing security and conducting operations against the enemy nationwide to conducting more specialized operations targeted at the most dangerous terrorists." Furthermore: "As the Iraqi forces gain experience and the political progress advances, we will be able to decrease our troop levels in Iraq without losing our capability to defeat the terrorists." [Italics added.]
Note the wording: We will reduce troop levels not necessarily as the Iraqi forces get measurably better, but as they "gain experience" and even as "political progress" is made.
From this, it's a good bet that we can expect a substantial troop withdrawal beginning shortly after the elections of a new Iraqi government in mid-December—that's one sign of "political progress"—or perhaps soon after the new government takes office in January.
The NSC report confirms this notion and elaborates: "We expect, but cannot guarantee, that our force posture will change over the next year, as the political process consolidates and Iraqi Security Forces grow and gain experience." U.S. troops will "increasingly move out of the cities, reduce the number of bases from which we operate, and conduct fewer patrols and convoy missions." The report also states: "While our military presence may become less visible, it will remain lethal and decisive, able to confront the enemy wherever it may organize."
These statements are consistent with Rep. John Murtha's proposal to "redeploy" U.S. troops to Kuwait or offshore. They're also consistent with Seymour Hersh's report in this week's New Yorker that the White House and the Pentagon are preparing to shift the war effort from ground combat to airstrikes.
They're consistent with quite a lot of ideas that might pop into people's heads, but what do they actually mean? Where is Bush going with these statements? What is he planning to do, when, and how?
Neither his speech nor the NSC's report addresses some basic facts about the war that must be faced in the formulation of a genuine strategy:
*The American occupation itself is strengthening, legitimizing, and radicalizing the insurgency. This fact—acknowledged by nearly everyone but the president—is what makes the issue of troop levels so complex: Our troops are, in one sense, fighting the insurgents and making Iraq more secure; but in another sense they're bolstering the insurgents and making Iraq less secure. The net effect—both of the continued occupation and of a withdrawal—is debatable, but the president will fail to engage the debate as long as he pretends the dilemma doesn't exist.
*The Iraqi security forces have no doubt improved in the past year, mainly because it's only been in the last year or so that realistic training measures have been put into effect, thanks mainly to Lt. Gen. David Petraeus, who has since been rotated out of the country. But how much they've improved, how effectively they might fight on their own as a national army, is not at all clear—especially given recent reports of death-squad tactics and the persistent growth of sectarian militias.
*The persistence of the war—long beyond the point when its planners thought it would be over—is straining the U.S. military to the breaking point, in terms of recruitment, morale, troop rotation, and the operations, maintenance, and procurement of its weapons systems. This is the main reason many military officers have called for getting out of Iraq—because "staying the course" for much longer is physically impossible. Steps can be taken to remedy this situation, but they would require momentous political decisions, and President Bush has done nothing to prepare the public for any such measures.
*Finally, the war in Iraq, even the war on terrorism (of which it has lately become a part, though it wasn't before Bush invaded), does not carry the same moral or strategic weight as the Cold War, much less World War II. In today's speech, Bush once again likened al-Qaida to Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union. There is no question that al-Qaida and its allies constitute a potent menace, but they do not rule a massive landmass or control a mighty industrial army; they cannot launch a blitzkrieg across Europe (or any other continent).
Let's put it this way: If the war in Iraq truly were as serious as the wars against Nazism and Communism, then where is the military draft, where is the trillion-dollar defense budget, where are the steps to put the entire economy on war footing, where is the all-out effort to train thousands of officers and intelligence analysts in the relevant foreign languages? Bush cannot equate the war in Iraq with the 20th century's wars for Western civilization—and yet insist that it requires no sacrifice except from the brave members of our all-volunteer armed forces.
This is the bottom-line failure of President Bush's campaign to persuade the public: He has still not outlined just what this war is about, what winning it means, and what it would honestly take to do so.

Research Professor Minelli's research deals with the synthesis and characterization of molybdenum compounds. Molybdenum compounds act as catalysts for a number of processes, among them olefin metathesis, and molybdenum is also a cofactor in biological systems. The study of these complexes helps to further the understanding of the role of molybdenum in the catalytic and biological field. Methods involved in this research are Schlenckline synthesis, multinuclear NMR spectroscopy, electrochemistry and X-ray crystallography (done off-campus). Minelli Summer Research 2014
