Weile Chen – Alumni Association Dissertation Award (Penn State)
Weile's research is focused on mycorrhizal fungi and their relationship with plants in acquiring nutrients, with the aim of providing guidance for ecosystem management under changing climates.
"It is my great honor to receive the Alumni Association Dissertation Award. As an international student, I am very grateful to all the faculty, staff, students, and alumni of the Huck Institutes, who together create an excellent environment for study and research. My appreciation also goes to the Huck Graduate Dissertation Research Grants, which funded my dissertation research in 2015."
Adwitia Dey – Graduate Exhibition, Research Poster Option, Health and Life Sciences, Third Place (Penn State)
Adwitia's research is focused on understanding the role of macrophages (the cells of the body responsible for regulating inflammation) in the natural progression of inflammation in the aging brain prior to the onset of clinical symptoms, with the goal of informing preventative targeting of therapeutic drugs.
"The Huck Institutes and the IGDP in Physiology have been integral mediators of my growth throughout the entirety of my PhD years here at Penn State. The curriculum has taught me the importance of communicating my research and actively engaging in opportunities such as the Graduate Exhibition. The Huck Institutes allows for students such as me to expand our knowledge base and further our skills 'toolbox' by fostering student attendance to outside meetings and supporting student efforts such as the Life Science Symposium. These meetings have greatly shaped my communication skills that have allowed me to effectively present my research to a varying spectrum of audiences. This award encourages me to continue to engage in communicating my research to the society that helps fund it. In my generation of biological research, having the tools and support of the Huck Institutes and the IGDP in Physiology, as well as receiving this Graduate Exhibition award, is essential to my ability to grow effectively and contribute to the future of life sciences."
Sarah Jefferson – Ruth L. Kirschstein National Research Service Award (National Institute of Mental Health)
Sarah's research is focused on how specific types of neurons alter anxiety- and depression-related behaviors as well as behavioral responses to environmental stress, with the goal of identifying new molecular targets for more-effective and faster-acting antidepressant drugs.
"I am honored to have been selected for this prestigious award, and I would like to express my gratitude to my mentor, Dr. Lüscher, for sponsoring the fellowship and providing an abundance of valuable insight, as well as to Melissa Rolls, Gong Chen, Nikki Crowley, Istvan Albert, and Craig Praul for the guidance and expertise they offered in support of my proposed research."
Yurika Matsui – Harold F. Martin Graduate Assistant Outstanding Teaching Award (Penn State)
Yurika's research is focused on the roles of specific functional proteins in regulating cell signaling in cancerous tumor development.
"I would like to express my deepest gratitude to my research mentor, Zhi-Chun Lai, and my teaching mentors, Jennelle Malcos and Kim Nelson, as well as Melissa Rolls, chair of the IGDP in Molecular, Cellular, and Integrative Biosciences; Lori Van der Sluys, director of summer experience in the Eberly College of Science; and, last but not least, my friends and family. They provided me with various teaching opportunities, encouraged me to develop and exercise my own pedagogy in classrooms and labs, and always supported me in overcoming challenges I encountered during my graduate teaching and research."
Bastian Minkenberg – Alumni Association Dissertation Award (Penn State)
Bastian's research is focused on the function of genes in cell signaling related to plant development and environmental stress response, with the goal of accelerating crop breeding for beneficial traits in order to meet the increasing global demand for food.
"Graduate students like me struggle nowadays with the challenging funding climate and the tough academic job market. It is very important to us that our work gets recognized and that people care about it. These celebrations of our achievements ensure that we stay motivated and feel it is worthwhile to keep up the good work. Receiving the Alumni Association Dissertation Award has encouraged me to stay in academia and to continue my goal of impacting people's lives with better methods for basic research and crop development. I thank the Alumni Association for supporting me and my dissertation work, which hopefully will empower research as well as ensure food security. I attribute much of my success to the IGDP in Plant Biology and the Huck Institutes of the Life Sciences. Professor Teh-hui Kao, the program's chair, always did his best in supporting me with advice and letters of recommendation. In addition, the Huck Dissertation Research Grant provided funding for two of my publications and also allowed me to travel to conferences to present my research and make connections to other researchers."
William Turbitt – Alumni Association Dissertation Award (Penn State)
William's research is focused on the role of changes in energy balance on inflammation, immune regulation, and cancer risk in metastatic breast cancer – specifically the mechanisms by which dietary energy restriction and physical activity influence immune function – with the goal of determining the impact of such changes on breast cancer risk and metastatic progression.
"The faculty of the IGDP in Physiology – especially the program's chair, Donna Korzick, and my thesis adviser, Connie Rogers – have been instrumental in my professional development as a scientist. Both have worked tirelessly to strengthen the program and provide essential resources for graduate students to succeed. Additionally, I have benefited immensely from the Huck family's endowments and philanthropic donations to the University. In 2014, I was awarded the Huck Dissertation Research Award, the funds from which allowed me to investigate my own questions, attend scientific meetings, and use the Penn State core facilities. Both the Huck Institutes and the Alumni Dissertation Award are tremendously helpful in bolstering my credentials and making me more competitive for a post-doctoral position as I continue my training to become an independent scientist. Lastly, I've been a member of the Penn State community for the past ten years, and it has shaped every aspect of my professional life. I am honored and humbled to be recognized by the Alumni Society and I hope to continue to make Penn State proud."

Basically Everyone Related To An MLB Player Was Drafted
We've gone over this before, but there's no sport that can match baseball for pure draft nepotism.
We've gone over this before, but there's no sport that can match baseball for pure draft nepotism.
Sometimes we get a tip in the ol' inbox here that speaks to us for personal reasons. Early this morning, one came in about Will Thomas, a 12-year-old seventh-grader in McLean, Virginia, who decided to spend his Labor Day weekend shooting baskets to raise money for the families of the 17 Navy SEALs killed in a…
The MLB draft is long. Like, super super long with about a million players getting picked. It's a crapshoot the deeper you go, so teams just pick players that will make a quick headline (like the Cubs drafting a fat kid). What better way to do that than pick a player whose name fans already know?
Mauricio Baldivieso turns 13 tomorrow. As an early birthday present, his coach got him into the game for a first-division Bolivian soccer side. Did we mention the coach is his father?

FirstEnergy just declared its quarterly dividend at .36/share, down 34.5% from last quarter's .55/share.
Looks like Wall Street hasn't been fooled by CEO Tony Alexander's dumping the Harrison Power Station on WV rate payers. It looks like Jonathan Bluhm's predictions are coming true.
And FirstEnergy's 2014 profit forecast is below what most analysts expected.

Privitizing the accessors for the type code
At the end of the refactoring I said that you could make those methods that use the type code, eg getCode(), private. Randy Coulman pointed out that I neglected to say that you first have to find the callers of those methods and change them to no longer use the code number.

We all have seen the Bollywood industry evolve in every way. With time, the actresses have got equal importance & screen space in movies. Not only that, the year 2014 broke the stereotype about women-centric films not performing well at the box office.
Many actresses took risks; be it Kangana Ranaut doing a QUEEN, Anushka Sharma doing a NH10 or Priyanka Chopra doing a MARY KOM. When asked Deepika if Bollywood's outlook towards heroines has changed with the course of time, she said, "Definitely. And I think it's a very exciting time for the movies right now. Like I mentioned earlier, in terms of the scripts that are being written, the kind of risks that the director are taking or the kind of paths that the women are being offered, at least for me, I can say that it is a very exciting time for me in my career."
Deepika, who was last seen in PIKU, has been getting a lot of appreciation for her role. The movie also starred Amitabh Bachchan, Irrfan, Moushumi Chatterjee & others. Directed by Shoojit Sircar, produced by Ronnie Lahiri, PIKU released on 8th May, 2015.

Jaguar Land Rover eyes up Saudi Arabia
Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) has made moves to start building cars in Saudi Arabia.
A letter of intent has been signed between the Indian-owned firm and the Saudi Arabian government, paving the way for a partnership.
Exploratory discussions about potential investment in Saudi Arabia follows Jaguar Land Rover's recent joint venture announcement with Chery Automobile Company to manufacture vehicles at a new plant near Shanghai, China, and the separate expansion of the firm's assembly plant at Pune, India.
The firm said the expansion plans follow a sharp rise in Jaguar Land Rover sales to emerging markets, contributing to a 32 per cent increase in global retail sales to 324,184 vehicles in the 11 months to November.
In the current calendar year, sales in the Middle East and North Africa have increased by more than nine per cent to 11,418 units.
Dr Ralf Speth, JLR CEO, said: "We are committed to further international partnerships to meet record demand for our highly sought-after vehicles.
"The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is an attractive potential development option, complementing our existing advanced facilities in Britain and recent manufacturing plans to expand in other countries, including India and China."

The CFP Board has finally ditched pencil and paper in favor of keyboards and computer screens for its certification exam.
The board says it has made its exams more convenient and efficient for applicants by switching to computer-based testing. Though digital, it is not done online -- applicants still have to sit before a terminal in a proctored exam center.
One of the biggest improvements as a result of the format change is that candidates will receive preliminary, unofficial results before they leave the testing center, with official results posted online 10 days after.
CFP Board officials noted there were 2,147 applicants for the exam, the highest in two years, and it had a 66% pass rate. The exam is still being conducted in a multiple-choice format.
Being able to get instant results is the best innovation of a computerized exam, says Eve Kaplan, head of Kaplan Financial Advisors in Berkeley Heights, N.J., who took the exam a decade ago.
I passed on my first attempt, but I had to wait up to a month before I got the results, she says. It was kind of a drag. So its great to know right away, except for those glum faces when exiting. But its good to know a lot sooner if you need to start preparing again.
The CFP Boards change will make the exam more relatable to younger advisors, says Lee Giobbie, a Philadelphia-based financial advisor with Janney Montgomery Scott who earned the CFP title five years ago, in addition to CFA, RIS and CLTC designations.
Its great they are moving forward and joining the latest century, so to speak, Giobbie says. As long as they are continuing to test people to the same caliber as what they would do with pen and paper.
Board officials say the process to develop a rigorous and legally-sound exam for a computer format was thorough and could not be rushed.
Moving to the computer-based testing format has been a priority, says Isabelle Gonthier, Director of Examinations at the CFP Board. Weve been working on this transition for the last five years, and had to ensure we had all the structure and content required to make this important move.
According to Gonthier there were added complications in digitizing the exam. The number of questions required to deliver computer-based testing, based on the five-day testing window and security requirements, is significantly higher than paper-based format. The development of items is a comprehensive and costly process to ensure that the exam is valid, reliable and legally defensible.
Giobbie adds that he expects the CFP Boards decision to switch to computerized tests will force other high-end designation providers to follow suit. Its well needed, he says.
Kaplan says that a computerized CFP exam is another example of how the industry is constantly being changed by technology, challenging advisors to keep learning long after the CFP exam.
Ive just finished my eleventh year in my own practice, and it was completely different when I started, Kaplan says. There are so many additional things to learn every year. You have to run faster and faster just to stay in one place.

Angels lose to Indians, fail to gain ground
ANAHEIM >> As the Angels try to claw into the playoffs for the first time since 2014, they were bitten by a remnant of that last postseason team. Trying to add depth to the bullpen for the playoff run three years ago, the Angels made a minor trade to get Vinnie Pestano from the Cleveland Indians.
Cleveland Indians juggernaut rolls into Anaheim after historic streak
In July, a reporter asked Angels manager Mike Scioscia to comment on the success of the Dodgers, who were in the midst of winning 14 of 15 games. Scioscia obliged the question, but quickly noted that he and his players were focused on their own fate.
Uber-talented Justin Upton brings bulk to Angels' lineup
ANAHEIM >> When Eric Byrnes was with the Arizona Diamondbacks, hitting a ball over the batter's eye at the club's spring training home in Tucson, Ariz., was no trivial feat. Maybe a few times a spring, someone would connect well enough to launch one that far.
Angels come up just short in loss to Rangers
ANAHEIM >> The Angels' 4-2 loss to the Texas Rangers on Sunday was marked by a handful of those "almost" moments that didn't go their way. The Angels slipped to two games behind the Minnesota Twins in the wild-card race, with 13 to play, following an afternoon of near-misses.
Angels' Garrett Richards pushing his limits

Justin Upton, Parker Bridwell lead Angels past Cole Hamels, Rangers
ANAHEIM -- The Angels didn't get much Saturday against the Texas Rangers. Turned out they didn't need much. Or so it seemed at first glance of their 2-0 victory in front of 40,719 at Angel Stadium, which when coupled with the Minnesota Twins' loss to the Toronto Blue Jays moved them within one game of the second wild-card spot in the American League.
With Brandon Phillips sidelined, Mike Trout leads off for first time since 2013
ANAHEIM >> Brandon Phillips was not in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Texas Rangers, triggering a dramatic change at the top of the Angels' batting order. Cliff Pennington took over for Phillips at second base, but that was to be expected.

Angels gain in wild-card race with tight win over Rangers
ANAHEIM — As Blake Parker jogged in from the bullpen, facing just about the toughest spot a reliever can inherit, he was inspired by something more specific than the chance to help his team. He wanted to bail out one of his brothers in the bullpen.
Luis Valbuena won't stop flipping his bat
ANAHEIM>> Luis Valbuena swears that his frequent bat flips aren't a way to show up any opponents. He says he can't help it. "It's natural," the Angels infielder said.

Angels get quality start, but struggle to hit Astros
ANAHEIM>> Although the Angels are finally getting the kind of starting pitching they need, they are nonetheless slipping in the wild card race. Despite a fourth consecutive game in which the Angels starter gave up two runs or fewer in at least five innings, the Angels were losing, 5-2, to the Houston Astros in the ninth inning at press time on Thursday night.

ANAHEIM >> Martin Maldonado is trying to give Salvador Perez a run for his money. As the Angels try to make the playoffs in the final three weeks, they also have individuals polishing their resumes for individual awards.
Tyler Skaggs dominates as Angels blow out Astros
ANAHEIM — The last two outings for Tyler Skaggs have been what he and the Angels had hoped for all along. Thanks to the re-introduction of his two-seam fastball, which he'd abandoned last year, Skaggs posted a second consecutive quality start on Wednesday, this time working seven scoreless innings in the Angels' 9-1 dismantling of the Houston Astros.
Alexander: Astros play a role in hurricane recovery
ANAHEIM >> The ordeal began when the Houston Astros were last here, winning two of three from the Angels in late August even as newscasts and social media feeds were relaying news of a hurricane watch, and then hurricane devastation, at home.
Embedded in Houston, Cameron Maybin returns to Anaheim
ANAHEIM >> On Aug. 30, the National Hurricane Center issued a warning for catastrophic and life-threatening flooding in Southeastern Texas. The next day, Angels outfielder Cameron Maybin was claimed off waivers by the Houston Astros.
Brandon Phillips returns home with Angels for first time
ANAHEIM >> His team had just come off a 10-day trip, his body off a two-week baseball bender. Brandon Phillips was home Tuesday afternoon, finally, mercifully, cozily home, just long enough to realize it was time to head out again.
Astros at Angels (Wednesday): McCullers vs. Skaggs, TV, time & more
ASTROS at ANGELS When: Wednesday, 7 p.m. Where: Angel Stadium TV: Fox Sports West THE PITCHERS ANGELS LHP TYLER SKAGGS (1-5, 4.86) vs. Astros: 2-2, 3.
Justin Verlander dominates Angels, spoiling Garrett Richards' return
ANAHEIM >> A pair of headphones engulfed Justin Verlander's ears Tuesday afternoon. A giant computer monitor, maybe a foot in front his face, commanded his attention. Glance up a couple inches and Verlander could watch the Detroit Tigers play the Cleveland Indians on a television inside the Astros' clubhouse, but with his first pitch a few hours away, his gaze stayed true.
ASTROS at ANGELS When: 7 p.m. Where: Angel Stadium TV: Fox Sports West THE PITCHERS ANGELS RHP GARRETT RICHARDS (0-0, 1.13) vs. Astros: 5-3, 3.73 At Angel Stadium: 22-12, 3.
Meyer to miss 2018 season; Andrew Heaney is day to day
While Andrew Heaney's MRI on Monday gave hope that he can pitch again this year, the club has now lost another starter for next year. Alex Meyer, who was already ruled out for the rest of this season, will undergo surgery to repair a torn labrum in his shoulder, with an expected rehab time of 12 months.
Ailing Andrew Heaney of the Angels will have MRI Monday
SEATTLE >> Andrew Heaney will undergo an MRI on Monday, as the Angels try to determine how to proceed after shoulder stiffness knocked him out of Saturday night's game. "Hopefully, it's a little stiffness that will work its way out," Manager Mike Scioscia said Sunday morning.
Justin Upton delivers big blow in Angels victory over Mariners
SEATTLE >> Justin Upton used his bat to quiet the voices that been haunting him. Not voices in his head. Actual voices. Upton's two-run double in the eighth-inning snapped a tie in the Angels' 5-3 victory over the Seattle Mariners on Sunday, the happy ending to a day that earlier included Upton allowing a key fly ball to drop because he heard "someone" call for it.
Angels at Mariners (Sunday): Bridwell vs. Ramirez, TV, time & more
ANGELS at MARINERS When: 1 p.m. TV: Fox Sports West Where: Safeco Field THE PITCHERS ANGELS RHP PARKER BRIDWELL (7-2, 4.00) vs. Mariners: 1-1, 4.50 At Safeco Field: 1-0, 1.
Alex Meyer deals with frustration of season ending early
SEATTLE >> Alex Meyer was certain he was going to pitch again in 2017, all the way up until the moment his shoulder told him he wasn't. Meyer was throwing in late August when he suddenly felt something in his shoulder that let him know his season was over.
Andrew Heaney leaves Angels blowout loss with shoulder soreness
SEATTLE >> Another Angels starter failed to get out of the early innings, but it was why he came out of the game that is the most troubling. Andrew Heaney, less than a month into his comeback from Tommy John surgery, left the game with shoulder tightness in the third inning of the Angels' 8-1 loss to the Seattle Mariners on Saturday night.
Angels at Mariners (Saturday): Heaney vs. Albers, TV, time & more
ANGELS at MARINERS When: Saturday, 6 p.m. Where: Safeco Field TV: Fox Sports West THE PITCHERS ANGELS LHP ANDREW HEANEY (1-1, 6.98) vs. Mariners: 1-0, 0.
Yunel Escobar suffers another setback
SEATTLE >> Yunel Escobar isn't going to be back that soon after all. The Angels third baseman has had a second setback in the last two weeks in his rehab from a strained oblique, delaying his return and the accompanying lineup dilemma.
Ricky Nolasco gives Angels their latest short start in loss to Mariners
SEATTLE — If the Angels hope to get to the postseason, they are going to have to reverse this trend with their starting pitchers. Ricky Nolasco provided the latest disappointing performance, allowing four runs in 3⅔ innings in the Angels' 4-3 loss to the Seattle Mariners on Friday night.
Angels credit wild-card run to flexible bullpen
SEATTLE — Just before opening day, Mike Scioscia held his standard preseason meeting with the relievers. He told them to be ready for anything, with few set roles. While the Angels manager might have said that before, he has never quite lived up to it to the extreme he has this season.
Angels at Mariners: Friday game time, TV channel, starting pitchers
ANGELS at MARINERS When: 7 p.m. Where: Safeco Field TV: Fox Sports West THE PITCHERS ANGELS RHP RICKY NOLASCO (6-12, 5.08) vs. Mariners: 2-4, 4.36 At Safeco Field: 1-1, 5.
Albert Pujols misses game with sore knee
OAKLAND >> Just as Albert Pujols' bat is heating up, his legs are giving him trouble again. Pujols returned to Southern California on Wednesday to be evaluated, according to General Manager Billy Eppler, who said a plan would be determined after the examination.
Tyler Skaggs has a quality start, but Angels' bats can't deliver in loss to A's
OAKLAND — Two days after Tyler Skaggs' previous frustrating outing, he was out under the sweltering Texas sun grinding his way through an unusually long bullpen session in which he was "working on everything.
Angels at A's (Wednesday): Skaggs vs. Manaea, TV, time & more
ANGELS at A'S When: Wednesday, 12:30 p.m. Where: Oakland Coliseum TV: Fox Sports West THE PITCHERS ANGELS LHP TYLER SKAGGS (1-4, 4.89) vs. A's: 0-3, 6.
Brandon Phillips has a front-row seat for shortstop history
OAKLAND >> Omar Vizquel and Andrelton Simmons are two of the best defensive shortstops in baseball history. The link between them is Brandon Phillips. The Angels' new second baseman first reached the majors in 2002 as a 21-year-old with the Cleveland Indians.
Garrett Richards returns with encouraging start for Angels in 10-inning win
OAKLAND >> This time, Garrett Richards walked off the mound alone, perhaps only disappointed at the hanging slider he'd just thrown. It was better than the last time he'd walked off the mound at the Oakland Coliseum, that time accompanied by trainer Eric Munson.
Angels use AL-record 12 pitchers to grind out 11-inning win
OAKLAND >> Mike Scioscia has never been a proponent of September expanded rosters that so dramatically alter the way games are managed. But as long as the current rules allow seemingly endless pitching changes, the Angels' manager is going to do whatever it takes to milk every possible victory out of his club.
Angels at A's (Tuesday): Richards vs. Graveman, TV, time & more
ANGELS at A'S When: Today, 7 p.m. TV: Fox Sports West Where: Oakland Coliseum THE PITCHERS ANGELS RHP GARRETT RICHARDS (0-0, 0.00) vs. A's: 2-4, 4.
Excitement surrounds Garrett Richards' long-awaited return
OAKLAND >> When Garrett Richards takes the mound for the Angels on Tuesday night, it's certain to create a buzz. "It's going to be pretty exciting, for sure," Kole Calhoun said.
Angels at A's: Monday game time, TV channel, starting pitchers
ANGELS at A'S When: Today, 1 p.m. TV: Fox Sports West Where: Oakland Coliseum THE PITCHERS ANGELS RHP PARKER BRIDWELL (7-2, 3.52) vs. A's: 0-0, 21.
Heart of the Angels' order clicks in first weekend together
ARLINGTON, Texas >> The new middle of the Angels' order is certainly working. Justin Upton reached base five times on Sunday, with two singles and three walks, improving to 5 for 11 with five walks in his first three games with the Angels.
Andrew Heaney allows 3 homers in Angels loss to Rangers
ARLINGTON, Texas >> While the Angels lineup has clearly improved lately, the pitching is struggling to keep up. Andrew Heaney's sloppy start was too much for a resilient Angels offense to overcome in a 7-6 loss to the Texas Rangers on Sunday, ending a forgettable weekend series for the pitching staff.

San Diego, California - Single-game tickets to San Diego Chargers regular-season games go on sale Friday, May 30 at 10 a.m. The team will also hold an exclusive online single-game presale for Season Ticket Members beginning on Tuesday, May 27 beginning at 10 a.m.
For the first time, "variable pricing" on single-game tickets will be instituted in 2014. This season's general single-game tickets will be priced at various levels that reflect the value based on expected demand. Variable pricing is already used in most professional sports leagues, including the NFL, NBA, NHL, Major League Baseball and many of the NCAA's largest college football programs.
Variable pricing does not impact the total cost of a season ticket package. Season Ticket Members will continue to pay a lower price, giving them the greatest value for their membership. Each game's face-value price will be reflected on both season tickets and single-game tickets, placing a value on the individual games within the package.
Season tickets continue to provide the best available seat locations and prices. Season Ticket Members are paying the same price for their package that they paid last season. Members receive the best overall value with prices starting at $39 per game and savings ranging from $83 to $226 compared to the purchase of single-game tickets.
Fans will be able to purchase tickets by logging onto chargers.com/tickets. Tickets can also be purchased at the Chargers Ticket Office at Qualcomm Stadium (Gate C).
The Ticket Office is open Monday-Friday 8-5 p.m. and Saturday from 10-4 p.m.

Did you see Ray Lewis thuggishly mugging for the cameras during the National Anthem? The commentators said he was emotional but, at least to me, it revealed he has no reverence at all for America.
Ray Lewis will not win the game for the Ravens. They win when Joe Facco comes to play. I predict he outplays
Colin Kadiddenopper and the Ravens win the Super Bowl.
The way the Seahawks took apart SF it is hard for me to believe they could win the Super Bowl. They damn sure aint the best team in the league, Denver is, even though they pissed away the game to the Ravens.

What to CookSalad
Warm Salads to Carry You Through Winter
As a defiant response to Sad Desk Lunches, the Food52 team works to keep our midday meals both interesting and pretty. Each week, we'll be sharing our happiest desk lunches -- and we want to see yours, too.
Today: Bulk up your winter salads with warm ingredients to satisfy you on the coldest of days.
As the temperature continues to drop, we find ourselves less and less satisfied with our standard lunch salad. We keep cool through summer by crunching on a big bowl of vegetables, but come winter, we'd rather spend our lunch hour warming ourselves from the inside out -- digging into a bowl of piping hot soup or pulling apart a gooey grilled cheese.
What these blustery days call for is a salad that suits the season, bulked up with warm components to make it a bit heartier and a whole lot more satisfying. Warm salads are decidedly retro, and that's fine by us -- they fulfill our need to feel toasty inside during the shivering days ahead.
Here's are a few of our favorite ways to warm up otherwise cold and crunchy salads:
- Heat your favorite vinaigrette in the microwave and toss it with hearty greens like spinach, kale, radicchio, or escarole for a warm, wilted salad. Add a handful of crumbled cheese, toasted nuts, or a sliced hard boiled egg to make it a more substantial meal.
- Leftover roasted vegetables, cooked beans, lentils, or grains, warmed up in the microwave, are a quick way to winterize any salad.
- Garnish your salad with baked goat cheese: Cut 1/3-inch rounds of soft goat cheese and roll them in nuts or breadcrumbs. Pack the cheese along with your salad, then bake or broil it in a toaster oven until golden brown and warmed through.
More: Looking for more warming lunches? Try savory oatmeal.
How do you winterize your salads? Tell us in the comments!

The Langham, Hong Kong appoints hotel manager
- Published by Vedat
The Langham, Hong Kong announced the appointment of Sherona Shng to the position of Hotel Manager.
A seasoned hotelier with extensive experience in Marketing and Communications, Sherona is an exciting addition to The Langham. She is an accomplished communications specialist with 20 years experience in international communications and media relations. Prior to taking up the role as Hotel Manager, Sherona was Vice President – Communications and Public Relations at Langham Hospitality Group (LHG), overseeing the Group's global public relations and advertising program, as well as the development and implementation of 'Corporate Identity' standards for all brands within the Langham Hospitality Group.
Sherona joined LHG in 2003 as part of the pre-opening team of Langham Place Hotel in Mongkok. She was promoted to oversee Public Relations for the group in 2005 and a year later, Sherona took on the additional role of Marketing Communications to manage the Group's global advertising and integrated marketing campaigns.

- I have entered 60 competitions
- I have 30 hits of some sort
- In seven of my hits I was the overall winner
- I have 29 misses (and one competition still awaiting results)
- Over a third of my entries were in 2008 or 2009 - before I started writing novels or having children!
- My longest run of hits was at the start - competitions one to six were all hits!
- My longest run of misses was May to July 2009 where I entered seven competitions and missed out on the first six.
- In the last two years (while concentrating on novel writing and taking two extended breaks to have babies) I have entered six competitions in total. One is still awaiting results and the other four were hits - hooray!
- You can see a full list of my hits on the competitions tab
- If I had to pick my favourite entries I think I would choose The Language of Fish (2nd place, December 2014) and Handrails and Parachutes (winner, October 2012)
So, it looks as if I'm running at a hit rate of about 50% overall, which I'm not unhappy with. I think a key to this is competition selection. I could have entered 61 international and prestigious competitions and had a hit rate of 0%. For me, competitions are a good chance to learn something about your level of writing. Yes, it's important to stretch yourself and enter the big competitions - Bridport, Costa etc. - from time-to-time as you never know what might happen, but you learn more from the competitions where you come third or make the longlist and can compare your writing to that of the winner. How do you choose which competitions to aim for?
I am heartened to see that the last couple of years, although very slow in terms of competitions entries, has been successful. I guess my ideal now would be one of two things:
a) to start entering more things again and choose my competitions well enough that my hit rate stays 50-60%, so I'm challenging myself but not being silly about my level of talent!
b) to keep entering very few competitions - ones where I stand a good chance but which attract a reasonable number of entrants - and try to keep my hit rate higher; focus on quality of writing and competition.
In reality, I am unlikely to enter much for the next few years. Finding time to write my second novel is difficult enough. If I enter more than one or two competitions, the extras are likely to be the fun ones - txtlit, or 100-word challenges, things like that. I am particularly interested to see that entering more competitions did not improve my hit rate - proof that, although practice is important, the quality of your practice is as important as the quantity!
Of course this list doesn't include the competitions associated with my novel, The Art of Letting Go. I am currently on the shortlist for the People's Book Prize, so please do go and vote for me and help me on my way to being a prize-winning novelist for the first time too! Thank-you.

This past Saturday night didn't mark UFC lightweight Pat Healy's debut in the Octagon but it might as well have. The seasoned grappler made a lone appearance under the organization's banner in 2006, was submitted by a relative nobody, and promptly cut thereafter. Healy bounced around from organization to organization after the setback, finally landing in Strikeforce where he a put together 7-1 record including six straight wins.
However, he only earned his spot on the UFC roster by picking up a short notice win in January before Strikeforce folded, giving "Bam Bam" one more challenge to overcome if interested in scoring the opportunity he ultimately landed at UFC 159 against Jim Miller. Rather than fold under the pressure, the 30-16 Healy again rose to the occasion, choking Miller out cold in the third round of a hard-fought effort and picking up dual bonuses as a result.
Healy spoke about his successful showing to Fuel TV after the match-up, revealing his bruised and battered exterior cloaked a competitor legitimately floating on Cloud Nine.
"I feel so great. I know my face is jacked up. My eye seems big – it's in my vision a little bit – but I feel like a million bucks," said the joyous Healy. "I've have every low point in my career that you could possibly have and the only thing that kept me in is my love for fighting. I can't really describe it but I feel like a million bucks."
In terms of what's next, Healy explained he hadn't thought that far ahead but had a simple solution aimed at producing a future foe.
"I think Jim Miller was ranked fifth so 2, 3, 4, 1…whatever, any of those guys," Healy stated on the subject.
The full interview with Healy can be found below:

The head of the Assembly Health Committee has blasted as unjustified the proposed double-digit rate increases New York insurers are requesting for new ObamaCare policies — and called for a probe into possible bait-and-switch tactics.
Manhattan Assemblyman Richard Gottfried on Thursday suggested that insurers low-balled prices in 2013 to lure in customers — before hammering them with an average 13 percent rate-hike request this year.
"The insurance carriers may have low-balled their premiums last year in order to grab market share on the health exchange. This is not unheard of. They should not be rewarded if that's what's going on," Gottfried said.
"It's hard to see how these increases are justified. Health-care costs have not increased that much."
Health Republic, a new insurer that has grabbed 40 percent of the state's ObamaCare market, is requesting an average 15.2 percent hike for individual plans.
MetroPlus Health Plan, the insurer affiliated with the city's Health and Hospital Corporation, requested an average 18.5 percent increase.
And Empire HealthChoice HMO Inc. is seeking 18 percent more.
The three insurers cover more than half of individuals in the state's ObamaCare exchange.
The lobbying arm for health insurers denied that carriers were requesting unreasonable increases or had engaged in bait-and-switch tactics.
"It's not true. It's not a case of bait-and-switch. It's irresponsible to say things like that," said Leslie Moran, spokeswoman for the New York State Health Plan Association.
Moran lauded the Affordable Care Act for increasing access and expanding coverage for the previously uninsured.
But she said rates will continue to rise until the government takes actions to control underlying medical costs that are out of insurance companies' control.
"Maybe this is a wake-up call that we need to shift to making medical care affordable and not just available," she said.
The state Department of Financial Services, which regulates insurance carriers, is expected to rule on the rate requests next month.
Last year, health insurers in New York requested weighted average increases of about 12.4 percent, and ended up getting 7.5 percent.
At the time, DFS said the increase in premiums was "below the 10 percent increase in health-care costs."
Meanwhile, insurers are telling customers that ObamaCare requirements are partly to blame for other proposed hikes.
Aetna sent a notice to one of its small-business-group customers seeking a 26.8 percent jump in its 2015 premiums.
"The requested increase is directly related to two main drivers: the overall rising cost of health-care services in New York and the projected impact of the federal risk-adjustment program that was put in place by the Affordable Care Act," Aetna said.
Moran said some insurers are already reporting losses from participation in the ObamaCare exchange.
And she warned that if Albany artificially lowers the rates, insurers may not only pull out of the ObamaCare exchange, they might pull out of the high-cost state entirely.

Donor carer
Members of the public volunteer to give blood, so it can be used when people need transfusions. Donor carers set up a donor centre and welcome donors, making sure they are healthy and that their blood is suitable.
This page has information on the role of donor carers, including entry requirements and skills needed.
Working life
The NHS relies on members of the public (donors) giving voluntary donations of blood and blood products. These are stored and used when needed, for example, during surgery or after an accident.
As a donor carer, you'll take blood by inserting a needle into a vein, usually in the donor's arm. You'll then monitor the blood and pack it safely into cool bags for transporting or sending.
Working in a donor centre, you'll:
- welcome donors
- reassure and explain procedures to donors, where necessary
- take details from donors and enter them on a database
- check the blood of new donors
- help with screening of donors, by asking questions about their health
- collect and store blood
- provide refreshments for donors while they rest after giving blood
- make sure donors are well enough to leave
- thank donors and encourage them to return
Although donors are volunteers, some may be nervous about the procedure especially if they have not given blood before. They may be upset if they find they cannot give blood for any reason. Customer care is an important part of the job.
Some donor carers are based in clinics. Most, however, work in mobile units going out into the community to a different location each day. Some donor carers may drive the team vehicle.
As well as and doctors and nurses, donor carers work with healthcare and healthcare science professionals and other members of the wider healthcare team. They have a lot of contact with the public.
Entry requirements
There are no set entry requirements to become a donor carer. Employers expect good literacy and numeracy and may ask for GCSEs or equivalent.
Customer care skills are as important as qualifications. Employers may ask for relevant work experience. Even where this is not specified, it would be an advantage if you have customer service or healthcare experience - either paid or voluntary. You may need a driving licence.
Find out more about gaining experience
Skills and personal characteristics needed
As a donor carer, you'll need to be:
- willing to work with blood and blood products
- friendly and welcoming
- able to reassure people who are nervous
- able to explain procedures
- careful and methodical
- flexible and adaptable
- physically fit to move and set up equipment
- good at working in a team
- able to follow instructions and procedures carefully
You'll also need
- very good communication skills
- good customer care skills
- IT skills
- organisation skills
Training and development

What if we considered every interaction with another human being a social one? I was just thinking about how weird it is that the definition of my "social life" is purely the individuals that I choose to interact with, when and where I choose to do so.
This is how most people define social life, but it's pretty arbitrary. What if we thought of social life as the parts of our lives when we are around others, period?
Considered this way, my usual confidence in the robustness of my social life falls flat. I realize for most of my day, I pretty consciously ignore people. I live in New Orleans, and my travels have shown me that there is perhaps no other city that can boast the same level of friendliness to strangers. It's hard to take a walk without someone looking you in the eye and asking you about your day. I love this about my city and try to adopt the practice as much as I can, but even in a place that embraces neighborly interaction, I still fall short. I may say hi, how are you, I may even ask you about your garden or your dog or your work, but can I actually say you are my friend?
Not to mention when I have something that I need to get done, and a timeline to complete it in. Then, just about all of my effort at some kind of social exchange can fall to the wayside as my world closes in upon the task that needs to get done. Any external attempts by others to engage me socially I will very consciously thwart.
Day in and day out, I am not really looking to make friends except in circumstances that I have deemed acceptable times and places where friends can be made. If you are introduced to me by someone I already trust, perhaps we'll connect and maybe after repeated meetings become friends. If I am near you at a party or a bar and we have a conversation that I feel comfortable with, maybe I will be friendly towards you if I see you again. Maybe if your work or some other activity you do is related to mine there is more of a chance that I'll make an effort to connect with you. But maybe not.
I think I started realizing the narrowness of my own social life after spending weeks at Occupy NOLA last year. Suddenly I was in a diverse environment that spanned the spectrum of privileged organizers like me to people without homes who lived under the CCC bridge, and the real kicker was--we were all suppose to reach some kind of consensus about what we wanted the place to be like. Even though 20% of people in my state don't have a high school diploma, I didn't actually know anyone personally who didn't have one. Compared with the make up of the city, I realized the make up of my friend group was way off in terms of race, income level, and many other factors.
I figured out one reason I don't have a lot of these folks in my social circles: it's hard. It's hard to have genuine interactions with people when societal structures have made it so you meet each other on unequal terms. When you have money and someone else doesn't, it's easy for you to feel taken advantage of, or just feel guilty about your own privilege, or be condescending. When you don't have money and someone else does, it's easy to feel resentful, disdainful, or just plain uncomfortable. When you're educated and someone else isn't, it takes effort honestly listen and respect the other person's ideas as equal to your own. Roles reversed, it's easy to feel intimidated and like your ideas don't matter. When you're from a privileged group and someone else has to deal with the daily reality of racism or discrimination, it's easy for both parties to get offended, angry, and feel diminished as individuals.
Beyond the social, it's just plain scary to trust people that are different than us. It isn't a pretty thing about humans, but it's true. Fear motivates so much of the disconnection we feel amongst ourselves. It is scary and vulnerable to trust.
So that's probably why most people hang out with other people that are mostly like them. It's a lot easier. It makes it easier to not worry about the social problems that surround us, it makes it easier to feel like there's a big fat difference between people like you and everyone else. It makes it easier to feel confirmed and safe. It provides an atmosphere where you can feel confirmed in your own opinions, judgments, and ideas about how the world is and how you fit in it. Often these are the very ideas that form the bedrock of our own identities, and to be in social situations that challenge them are extremely uncomfortable.
At the same time, for many people the bedrock of their identities is the social lives they have cultivated. We come to understand who we are through our connections with other people. But if we expand the definition of social life to include all of our interactions with other people, how often are we judgmental, dismissive, impatient, or downright abrasive? How often do we deny others the benefit of the doubt, how often do we refrain from showing kindness when we have the opportunity to do so? How often do we just straight up ignore the humanity of people around us because of our need to complete daily tasks or just because we don't feel up to it?
If every interaction is a social interaction, how great are our social lives, really? And thus, what kind of people are we?

Strasbourg, France / Brussels, Belgium, 26-6-2014 — /EuropaWire/ — Gabriele Zimmer, a German member of Die Linke party, has been re-elected as the chair of the European United Left / Nordic Green Left group in the European Parliament. She already held the office in the previous legislative term from March 2012 onwards, when she replaced Lothar Bisky, a fellow German member of Die Linke party. Watch the video interview to find out more about her group's political course and the appointment of the Commission president.
Talking about the appointment of the Commission president, Ms Zimmer said that the heads of government had tried to find an alternative to the five candidates, but that the time when they could simply ignore the Parliament was over. "One thing is for sure: if they now propose a Commission president candidate who isn't among the five, then this candidate will not be approved by the EP," she said.
Ms Zimmer was born in Berlin in 1955 and holds a degree in translation and interpreting. She was first elected to the European Parliament in 2004. In the last legislative term, she was a member of the development committee, a substitute member of the employment and social affairs committee and a member of the delegation to the Africa Caribbean Pacific-EU Joint Parliamentary Assembly.
Before the first plenary on 1 July, watch our interviews series with the heads of Parliament's political groups in the 2014-2019 legislative term.

I wish I could take more time but 17 days is all I got to work with, I have young kids and a demanding job that needs lots of attention, part of why the route no signal means no work calls. I will still have about 80 hours of time off left so if there is an issue I have reserve saftey margins but that would dry up my time off for the year. I have already burned some of that so trying to not use any more until the trip.
Pick up a spare j box or send yours to Larry Buck for re soldering . I did both before my big trip. J box issues are a known problem with our bikes . https://www.bucksporttouring.com/

Becker College First Year Students Win Essay Contest
First year students at Becker College began their academic work early. In the first week of classes, the College's First Year Experience program announced the winner of its summer reading essay contest, Brigette Hillman.
Hillman developed the theory that inaction has as much impact as action as it related to the award-winning coming-of-age novel, Looking for Alaska by John Green. She also integrated into the essay her own experience on a service trip to Thailand by interviewing her program director.
Five other outstanding first-year writers were recognized with honorable mentions: Deckard Barnes, Jessica Delin, Tyler Newsome, Lauren Robinson, and Nicole Townsend.
Looking for Alaska: Writing Contest
by Brigette Hillman
The novel Looking for Alaska by John Green tells the story of "Pudge", a teenage boy who goes off to boarding school in search of "the great perhaps" and finds himself changed by his friendships there. One important theme in Looking for Alaska is that inaction can have just as much impact as action. Alaska, a classmate of Pudge's and the object of his affection, exemplifies this theme when she tells the story about her mother dying when she was young. Her mother had an aneurism. Alaska thought that she had just fallen asleep so she did not call 911. When her father came home he became upset with her, and Alaska believes that her father blames her for her mother's death because she failed to act. These actions early in her life case her to be impulsive and act without thinking or caring about the consequences of her actions.
Pudge also illustrates the theme that inactions can have just as much impact as actions. Before coming to boarding school, he has chosen to shut off and live a quiet existence within himself because it seems easier than dealing with the consequences of close friendships and interpersonal actions. But then he is inspired to go to boarding school and change his life by the idea of "the great perhaps", which is a concept he's picked up from memorizing and contemplating the last words of famous people. He feels that it is his chance to escape. In the end, Pudge decides that it is important to continue to try instead of just to give up and escape. There's struggle, but there's also free will, and we are more than the sum of our parts. Our relationships and actions, the things we do, make us more than what we would otherwise be. They have value. Pudge comes to this revelation through his new friendships and connections, but mostly through his efforts to cope with the death of Alaska, the girl he loved.
Perhaps the strongest example in the book of the concept that inactions can have just as much impact as actions takes place when Alaska dies after crashing her car into a police car after a night of heavy drinking. It is later discovered that the accident took place the day after the anniversary of her mother's death, and she was panicked about forgetting to visit her mother's grave. Her friends fell guilty for not stopping her from driving. Their failure to stop her had the same result as them letting her go, and they are flooded with regret. When they strive to find out exactly what happened, whether she committed suicide or not, Pudge comes to realize that it doesn't matter. Whether she tried to kill herself or just didn't act to stop herself from dying, by failing to swerve the car, she is still gone. There are always consequences, whether to action or to inaction. The two are ultimately the same.
From personal experience, I can say that I've learned the hard way that not acting can have just as much as an impact as acting. On a summer volunteer program in Thailand, I was told to keep hydrated and eat more than I would on a normal day in the States due to the heat and extra activity. During the first week In Thailand while volunteering with the dog rescue I drank about the same amount of water that I drink back home in the States. I felt fine the entire first week in the heat. On Saturday I ate the same amount that I had been eating for breakfast. I was excited to go see and play with the tiger cubs at the sanctuary. I did not bring a water bottle with me like I had every day the week before. It had to have been one of the hottest days so far. I sweat a lot and had a few sips of other people's water and about two glasses with lunch. I did not think of drinking water nor did I think about what would happen without water; I just went along with all the activities that were planned for that hot day. I was dehydrated all day but I did not act on the signs of it or even notice them. By late afternoon the amount of energy exerted in the heat and the dehydration my body was experiencing met. My body became weak. I was brought to the hospital to be rehydrated, and was unable to open my eyes or speak for five hours. Due to this I was not able to take part in the rest of the day's fun and exciting activities. Since my body was so weak it also reacted to every allergen in the air and made it difficult for me to breathe. This made my body even weaker and would require more time to recover. Although I did not try to miss out on the following week's activities, I ended up missing out because I did not actively try to stay healthy and drink enough water. I could have given up and not tried as much to get well fast after learning that I would not be allowed to participate in the following week's activity's, but I didn't. Although tremendously disappointed I still chose to push through and deal with the consequences of not acting. Just as Pudge learned, I learned that it is important to just try and keep going when it gets tough. I've learned from the experience and I know that is something that I have to actively take action on next time.
I interviewed my Program Director Jane in Thailand about the idea that inaction is the same as action. She said that her grandmother often says, "You can't be neutral on a moving train." If you aren't objecting to what is happening, you are giving your consent and participating in it. As someone who travels a lot and doesn't have a traditional nine-to-five job, Jane often has people tell her that they wish they could do that. "It's frustrating," she said, "because most of them could do that. But they don't realize that they're choosing not to. Choosing not to leave the conventional path before you is the same as choosing to stay on it." Her idea is that we rely on saying that we "have" to do things because it makes us feel like those things are not choices, and that makes us feel comforted because we do not have to face any concepts of regret or question our choices. But, in reality, there are very few things that most of us "have" to do. By examining the choices you make and being honest about which things are choices and why they are being made, we can greatly reduce our regrets and live lives of purpose. She agrees with Pudge's conclusion that life is worth the struggle, and that the connections to others and the actions you take create who you are and the life you have. "While it's easy to be strangled into inaction by regrets, you cannot go backwards." This sentence sums up the theme of inaction as action, and reflects on both Alaska's and Pudge's interpretation of life. While Alaska was indeed trapped by regrets, Pudge chooses to stay in the labyrinth, to keep going forwards.
Jeannette Walls' narrative The Glass Castle shares the common theme that inactions are just as consequential as actions. In the autobiographical novel of her childhood, Walls tells of her parents' harebrained schemes and selfish parenting in a way that shows them sympathy and warmth. Walls' parents did not know how to care for their kids, and therefore do not act on the childrens' needs. This leads them to constantly be running from town to town and leaving the kids to care for themselves in dangerous situations. At some points, she and her siblings go days without eating because their parents refuse to compromise their freedom to meet their responsibilities. By the parents' refusing to take the responsible, necessary actions, they end up choosing inaction, which has the same consequences as actively abusing their children.
In both Looking for Alaska and The Glass Castle, inactions still have results. Taking action and failing to act are ultimately both choices, both of which lead to results. Irresponsibility is just a choice not to do responsible things, but that still makes it a choice. In both texts, seeing that irresponsibility and failure to make good choices in others causes those who think about it, Pudge and Walls, to work hard and choose a different path for themselves, even in the face of adversity. In my personal experience and that of my interview subject, it is clear that we can learn from our failures to act. Inaction can be just as dangerous as action. And if we are in charge of our destinies, we must consider each choice we make.

Facebook has invited members of the media to a press event at its Menlo Park headquarters next Thursday, 7 March.
The event invitation reads: "Come see a new look for News Feed." The News Feed, of course, is the centre of the Facebook homepage that lists status updates, photos, videos and more from people and Pages that you follow on Facebook.
The social media company hasn't revealed the specifics of its new News Feed, but a report from TechCrunch in January noted a redesigned mobile News Feed that included a look that crosses between Flipboard and Microsoft Metro, ditching the blue and white Facebook has gone with for quite some time.
It's not clear if the News Feed changes will extend to the web version. The last time Facebook released a major update for its iOS and Android apps was in November 2011 with the new slide-out menu design, so it's definitely needed.
Early this year Facebook revamped its search UI with its new Graph Search feature.
Facebook's event on 7 March begins at 10am PST (6pm in the UK). We'll bring you the latest.

May [this book] be used by all in service to those who have given so much to our great nation. Max Cleland, Silver Star, Bronze Star, Soldier's Medal, former Administrator of the United States Veterans Affairs
Los Angles, CA (PRWEB) May 06, 2012
The National Veterans Foundation is preparing to launch The Attorneys' Guide to Defending Veterans in Criminal Court in June. This 700+ page publication will provide attorneys, judges, expert witnesses, and others who work with veterans, the very cutting-edge in understanding the nature of combat stress, its ties to criminal behavior, and how we can avoid repeating mistakes made with past generations of returning war veterans. The book will include contributions from leading experts in the fields of law, history, medicine, mental health, and social work in order to provide comprehensive coverage.
More than 2 million Americans have now served in Iraq or Afghanistan. A 2008 RAND Corporation study found that, of the 1.7 million who had served in the war zones at that time, more than 300,000 were suffering from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder ("PTSD"), and another 320,000 from Traumatic Brain Injury ("TBI"). Only about half of these troops, it found, had reported or sought help for their condition. Untreated, many of these psychologically-injured veterans are acting out in reckless, self-destructive and, sometimes, violent ways that bring them into contact with the criminal justice system.
History tells us that as the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan wind down, the numbers of troubled veterans flooding into our criminal courts will swell. Emerging research reveals a pattern of traumatized combat veterans surfacing in the criminal justice system following every major American conflict. Unfortunately, veterans of past conflicts were often treated quite harshly when their psychological injuries led them into criminal behavior.
This was particularly true in the wake of Vietnam when hundreds of thousands of psychologically-injured veterans returned home to a largely hostile American public who had come to blame them for an unpopular war. These veterans were often stigmatized and literally discarded when their psychological injuries led them to criminal behavior.
Even now, more than 30 years after that war,hundreds of thousands of Vietnam veterans remain incarcerated, homeless, and/or chemically-addicted across America. Our society has paid a staggering price for our abandonment of the Vietnam generation. The side-effects of their untreated trauma have cost us in many unforeseen ways. Countless families have been destroyed, jobs lost, and taxpayer dollars spent on treatment that came too late to make a difference for many. Only in recent years, have we begun to awaken to the tragic long-term consequences of the Vietnam generation's abandonment and to embrace them with long-overdue recognition of their sacrifices.
Though we now support our troops, the current generation of returning veterans faces other challenges. Unlike the most Vietnam veterans, many Iraq and Afghan veterans have served multiple combat tours, compounding the physical and mental health problems related to their service. Also unique to this generation is the prevalent use of antidepressants and other psychotropic medicines to keep our warriors combat-effective during these multiple deployments, creating additional difficulties in readjusting to civil society. Also new to these wars is the prevalence of Traumatic Brain Injuries, caused by the widespread use of improvised explosive devices.
The American criminal court system has already begun to prepare for the aftermath of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Veterans Treatment Courts are cropping up in nearly every state, veteran sentencing mitigation statutes are being enacted, and post-traumatic stress is increasingly being recognized as a basis for the insanity defense in certain, more extreme, cases. Much more needs to be done, however, to educate the justice system and make the changes necessary to be ready when the wave of troubled veterans hits.
The Attorneys' Guide to Defending Veterans in Criminal Court is intended to be the tool to instruct attorneys in all aspects of representing veterans facing criminal charges. From establishing an effective attorney-client relationship, accessing treatment and documenting military service – to pre-trial negotiation, trial and sentencing, this Guide will be the very first of its kind publication to fully address the criminal justice needs of our veterans. This is not intended as a "get-out-of-jail-free card," but a tool for use providing the best in defense for veterans facing criminal charges, and providing assistance during the sentencing phase, in order to see that treatment is always given serious consideration. Prosecuting attorneys, along with judges and expert witnesses, will also find the publication an invaluable guide in understanding the critical nature of their role.
The Guide goes well beyond purely legal topics, covering a wide range of relevant subjects, including the historical context of combat stress, sociological trends following wars, the current science and treatment of disorders common in troubled veterans, and understanding military's unique culture. The table of contents of the Guide shows, both, the depth and breadth of this one-of-a-kind publication.
Actor and long-time veterans advocate, Martin Sheen, offers his support for the book: "The Attorneys Guide to Defending Veterans in Criminal Court is a vital resource to serve the growing number of returning veterans who face charges stemming from service-related substance abuse to mental health issues. By using the criminal justice system as an intervention tool, we can connect our veterans to the treatment they earned through military service and ensure they do not fall through the cracks into chronic incarceration and homelessness."
The National Veterans Foundation wants all returning veterans to have the best legal representation possible. To this end, the Guide will be the NVF's legacy to veterans of all wars.
Co-editors and contributing authors, Floyd "Shad" Meshad, founder and President of the National Veterans Foundation and 2012 recipient of the IAVA's Fourth Annual Heroes award, and Brock Hunter, attorney and veteran, stand ready to conduct interviews on the substance of the publication. Please use the contact information to arrange an interview.

In addition to the style of chair you choose and the type of material it is made of you also want to take in consideration the color of the accent chair. No matter how great the type of chair you choose, if it is the wrong color it can totally throw off the decor of the room. If you want to add warmth to a room choose neutral colors like brown, beige, yellow, and gold. If you would like to make your accent chair the focus of the room, choose a strong, bold color like red or black. If you would like to add a bit of spring to the room choose a pastel color like light blue or pale pink.
The final thing you want to think about when choosing the perfect accent chairs for your home is placement. Where will you be placing your new chair? You want to make sure your chair makes the room feel charming and inviting. Take a good look at your room and place your accent chair in an area where it is not overcrowding the room but adding to the overall decor.

What are C-Parts?
It goes without saying that screws, nuts and washers are not the most important components of an industrial system or machine. However, without a doubt, C-Parts are essential for the ultimate end product.
C-Part features:
- Parts with secondary importance for the end product
- Low-priced materials
- Excessive procurement cost compared to the value
- Offset of material overheads
- Parts that are handled in bulk
Although the purchasing volume of these C-Parts is very low, the procurement costs are very high. During times with high levels of demand, handling repeat orders and coordinating these items can be almost overwhelming for industrial manufacturing companies.
This is where Würth Industry comes in with C-Part Solutions, Kanban solutions and other modular logistics solutions.
