text: So this is the very first custom I EVER completed. Finished him in september of 1998! Long before the re-issue was around. He's mainly just a re-paint but I took a G2 Ramjets leg vent thingie and glued it to his crown after spinning it 90 degrees. I was and am very proud of this one for two reasons. I took my time with it after years of ruining toys with paint pens and paint by number watercolrs and mainly, I did this one TEN YEARS ago and the paint job has held up after countless transformations! (yeah, I play with'em, wanna fight about it) He really does look more purple in real life. My camera is colorblind, I swear.

Michigan State, Iowa and Purdue have taken healthy leads into halftime today in the first three games of the final afternoon of regular-season play in the Big Ten.
The Spartans are running over last-place Minnesota. It's 33-17 and the second seed in the conference tournament looks like a lock. Michigan State is too deep. The Gophers are 7 for 25 from the field and have committed 12 turnovers.
Iowa is doing damage on the road. The Hawkeyes ended the half against Wisconsin with a 14-0 run and lead 33-21 in the Kohl Center. The Badgers have to rally or fall into a tie with Iowa for third place. The tie breaker would favor Iowa, which already has defeated the Badgers once this season. Kamille Wahlin has 10 points for Iowa. Wisconsin't leading scorer Alyssa Karel is 0 for 5 from the field.
Purdue also is in the mix for the third-place tie. The Boilermakers are leading Michigan 33-22 at the half.

Tasty treats for Temple Street at Smith's Gala
Smith's Gala, Newtownforbes had a treat in store for their loyal customers on April 16, as the shop hosted a bake sale for 'The Great Irish Bake for Temple Street'.
From 9am to 1pm, customers were greeted by the sight of a colourful table laden with freshly baked goods. Products from the shop's baker's corner were used for the event, (such as scones and brown soda bread), while staff members Tricia Oates, Jayne Henry, Christine McVeigh and Diane Bohan also contributed some mouthwatering morsels, including coconut buns, banana bread, queen cakes,and Mars Rice Krispie Squares.
Customers Jimmy and Liz Oates and Ãine Carberry provided delicious jam buns, apple tarts, queen cakes and chocolate birds' nests.
It was an extremely busy morning for all at the shop, but thankfully, Shauna Smith (aged 11) and Amy Madden-Oates (aged 9) proved to be fantastic helpers on the day, taking time out of their Easter holidays to lend a hand. The girls took to the job well, and after warmly greeting all their customers, they took in all donations made throughout the day.
The girls even contributed to the cake stand, with lemon cake, chocolates and bracelets made by Shauna, while Amy provided easter buns.
Approximately 100 customers attended on the morning of the sale, all very impressed with the baked goods. Some even stayed on for a free cup of tea and a chat.
In the end, an impressive €550 was raised by the group, much to the delight of all involved.
Speaking to the Leader, Niall Smith of Smith's Gala explained, "It created a nice buzz in the shop and we were delighted with the amount we raised as we had never done anything like this before!â€
"We're looking forward to doing it again next year!â€

I'm about to use IFW Copy to duplicate my possibly failing 40GB laptop drive to another (hopefully healthy) 40GB drive (inlcluding my BOOTIT EMBR partition), and then move the new drive into my laptop. However, the specs on the drive are ever so slightly different. Here's the info from IFW:
Source drive:
Size: 38154 MB
Device CHS: 1022/254/63
Target drive:
Size: 38154 MB
Device CHS: 1023/254/63
Strangely, while the Windows XP's "Computer Management / Disk Management" util also says the source drive is 38154 MB, it says the target drive is "only" 38147 MB (weird, one more cylinder, but maybe 7 MB less space).
Given these differences (and especially since the target might be a tiny bit smaller), do I need to set either the "Scale to Fit" or "Aligned Copy" options? Each of the three partitions (not including the 8 MB EMBR partition) currently have at least 15% free space, so I'm not risking "overflowing" the target drive, but I can't figure out if these options (or other ones) are necessary when the disks are not 100% identical.

The effects in The Walk are beyond what anyone has ever really done in a film.
The visual effects in the film's last half are the best I have seen all year.
… the hairiest, scariest, most realistic and thrilling plane crash in movie history — a sequence that should be taught in film schools for decades.
The visual effects are superb in 'Walk'
A visual spectacle.
Atomic Fiction is leading the charge in visual effects, utilizing cloud computing, with its near limitless power, to create high-resolution images in little to no time.
The most majestic simulation of a real event since the ship sinking in Titanic.

Was the "Son of God" a Human Being?
Today, with the advent of genetics, Christian thinkers now know that Mary must have contributed the female egg that made Jesus into a man. [Jesus, being a male, could not have been her clone, otherwise he would be a woman, and if cloned purely from Mary's genes would nullify the claim that he was God's son, too]. This presents a problem for we know that in order to be a human being in the first place, it takes a male sperm.
The ancients commonly believed that the woman contributes nothing to the physical being of the baby to be born. The mother was nothing but a receptacle for the male sperm, which grew to become a child. So the ancient and medieval church believed that Jesus' humanity was a new creation, and therefore sinless. Modern genetics have forced Christians today to take a new view of the virgin birth. Can they adequately explain how Jesus is a human being, since a human being is not conceived until a human male sperm penetrates a human female egg. Until that happens you do not have the complete chromosomal structure required to have a human being in the first place.
Of course, Christians can always say God can do anything, even create a human being. But then how is Jesus a descendant of Joseph? Neither Luke's nor Matthew's geneologies genetically link Jesus with Abraham or Adam. He's not the "real" father of Jesus.
And as far as punting to the "God can do anything" defense," Christians only use that defense when they need to use it, for you don't hear them saying this when it comes to the problem of human suffering in the world. You don't hear them arguing that God could eliminate evil. "He has his reasons," they say.
It's just that at an ancient time when people thought virgin births were genetically possible, people claimed they happened, that's all. Does anyone really think they happen today? How hard would it be to convince someone in today's scientific world that a virgin had a baby, which was sired by God, and yet geneologically linked to a great great great...grandfather?
There are too many improbabilities here. Way too many.

My Nonprofit Reviews
Review for Fellow Mortals, Inc., Lake Geneva, WI, USA
As a former wildlife intern at this hospital, I can honestly say Fellow Mortals is the most professional and compassionate wildlife rehabilitation center in not only Wisconsin, but likely the entire country. The care that all of the staff display for every patient is truly remarkable. Whenever they return phone calls regarding wildlife questions they are always so helpful, knowledgable, and kind. I'm proud to recommend such a wonderful hospital, and would encourage anyone in Wisconsin who thinks an animal is injured or orphan to call Fellow Mortals to see what should be done.
Thank you for being a part of Fellow Mortals' family.

Cloud Hosting is operating the website on various connected servers at one time. Cloud is a massive computer infrastructure that covers a lot of resources made available to the user. Google operations are the perfect example of Cloud Hosting where numerous websites are working on different servers at the same time. Cloud Hosting makes the processing power really fast due to the availability of scaled up operations of various servers.
Resources of Cloud Hosting
CPU, memory, bandwidth and IOps are the cloud hosting resources. CPU capacities are scaled up and memory storage is enhanced by using the benefits of cloud hosting. Many cloud-based applications need not require separate resources and these can easily be accessed through web browsers.
Features of Cloud Hosting
These include agility- ability to re-distribute the resources, independence – end users may be located anywhere irrespective of the location where resources are stored, scalability – use of shared resources increases the elasticity of the supply of resources irrespective of the peak loads, safety- use of shared resources makes disaster recovery an easy task. Easy maintenance, virtualization, and location independence are some of the desirable features.
Advantages of Cloud Hosting
Cloud hosting has made the web browsing a fun experience. Peak loads do not deter the speed of computation anymore. Centralization of data and ability to re-provision the resource system has increased the capacity of the computing in every sense. Cost-effectiveness is the biggest advantage. Since infrastructure need not be installed separately for every system, the capital expenditure is reduced tremendously. Only operational costs are to be taken care of. Cloud hosting has provided a more meaningful approach to the web hosting. The Internet is now metaphorically termed as cloud. End-user laptops and desktops need not worry about the resources as these are centrally stored in a remote location providing the feeling to the user as if they were installed locally on the system.
Services Available in Cloud Hosting
Cloud hosting services allows even smaller websites to get all the features of cloud resources. Service providers build a complete platform to the customers to develop the virtual world envisioned by the owner. Cloud hosting is possible both for the public and private platforms. Cloud platforms allow the users to cut the cost incurred in underutilized resources. The public cloud provides guaranteed resources for dedicated hosting. Hardware and network uptime is guaranteed 100%. It ensures flexibility of Virtual Private Server (VPS). The private cloud environment is also made of robust architecture and availability of resources round the clock.
Clouds created by service providers are complete, redundant and scalable. Redundancy ensures several backups to support any of the hardware failures. Increasing traffic loads are well taken care of with the help of cloud hosting. These are simple, quick to use and uptime is guaranteed more than 98%.
Various dealers are available that provide web-based solutions to the clients. They have designed packages suitable to the client's needs. Some of them entice the prospective clients with the help of introductory offers. Cloud hosting is gaining popularity and more value is achieved by the client compared to that provided by simple web environments.

4-String Bass with Flamed Maple Top, Maple Neck, Alnico Magnet Pickups and Active EQ
Ibanez SRX Soundgear Xtreme basses were designed for players who want an easy-to-play bass with simple controls and beyond massive pickups. The SRX500 can pump out loud, heavy rock! However, for players for whom simple and powerful just aren't simple and powerful enough, Ibanez added the new plug in and pulverize PFR-AL alnico magnet pickup and the new EQB-II active treble and bass boost/cut EQ. With the SRX500 bass, Ibanez proves that ridiculously loud and great tone aren't mutually exclusive terms. Ibanez SRX500 Bass
Lightweight body with flamed maple top for killer tone
Great-playing maple neck
Incredible output from alnico magnet pickup
Active electronics and 2-band EQ
Lightweight body with flamed maple top for killer tone The Ibanez SRX500 delivers a ton of tone and sustain without making you carry a heavy bass onstage. Ibanez selects a clearer, darker basswood than other guitar makers to produce more sound from less mass. To top off the SRX500, Ibanez adds a quality flamed maple top, which adds just the right amount of bite to the body tone. Great-playing maple neck The SRX500 the Ibanez SRX4 Series neck, made of three pieces of premium maple. Maple has a uniform grain, it's strong and stable, and it has less reaction to environmental changes than other hardwoods. Its tone is highly reflective, and focuses more energy into the body wood. This 4-string offers ideal string pitch and neck width for precise playing. The 24-fret rosewood fingerboard and familiar 34 Inch scale make the SRX500 a pleasure to play! Incredible output from alnico magnet pickup A big part of the SRX500's killer tone is its super high-output Passive Full Range pickups with exposed pole pieces. They give a new meaning to the word loud! Players have loved alnico pickups since the early days, and the SRX500 is Ibanez's proof that this sound is still king. Active electronics and 2-band EQ Ibanez outfitted the SRX500 with an active electronics package that includes their EQB-II DX 2-band EQ for quick, easy tonal shaping. Just wrap your finger around the treble or bass boost/cut knobs and dial in the tone you want in an instant. Powerful and simple, the Ibanez SRX500 is designed for the heavy rock bassist.

Woodbine: Monday 11/19 Analysis
Best Bet: ELLIS PARK (11th) Spot Play: COLD CERTIFIED (5th)
Race 1
(7) MAGIC CLASS will get my top selection in this wide-open class. I'm not sure what happened last week with his break in stride, but he's been trotting fast enough miles to be a top contender. (3) DNIEPER has been racing much better in his last few outings. I think he'll improve even more over this track. He usually offers value and he could connect to hit the board. (2) PLEASE PROMISE might go off as the favourite after scoring a win last week. I'm not convinced by the effort, but she's certainly capable of being top three.
Race 2
(1) THE UNSUB debuted for Moreau last week and finished third as the favourite. He starts from a better post and I think he'll be better this time around. (2) LYONS JOSEPHJNR has been racing very well in this class and finished ahead of THE UNSUB last start. He usually offers value and is a good play for your exactor/triactor wagers. (3) COACH CAL debuts for Menary, who has a solid reputation for first-time starters. He also makes the move to the big track and has been fairly consistent.
Race 3
(4) TOUGH MAC appears that he races best when he's near or on the front. With a post four start, I hope that happens. He only has one win this season, but Hughes has him in top form. (5) MAJESTIC TAGLET has won over 30 per cent of his starts this season and that is a terrific statistic. He faded to third last week and faces a tougher group in here. (9) UNABATING doesn't like to leave the gate, so I hope he can overcome post nine. He certainly belongs in this group and will likely offer value.
Race 4
(6) NICKLE BAG has finished third in his last two outings in this class and this is a lighter field, in my opinion. He draws better than last week and provides respectable final quarters. (2) BREES CREEK was the heavy-favourite last week and didn't put in a good performance. The week before, he flew home in :26 2/5. He may be the favourite again, but I'm looking elsewhere. (1) MYSTIC DEUCE put in a good qualifying effort with a solid final quarter for MacDonald. He drew inside, likes to leave the gate and I think he's player in this field.
Race 5
(3) COLD CERTIFIED has posted back-to-back miles in the 1:54 range and that should be fast enough to win. He's the richest horse in the field this season and draws a good post. (10) VACATION DAY left the gate last week, got a good trip and found the winner's circle. He'll have to deal with post 10 in here, but it looks like he's finding his best stride. There are a number of horses that could win in my opinion. (1) BAX OF LIFE is the only female in this race, but she deserves to be considered after two-straight victories. She did them both on the front-end and the same tactics could be used again. She does move up in class.
Race 6
(8) LONG FLIGHT HANOVER has only missed the board once in six starts this season and is certainly due for his first career win. He'll likely be the post time favourite and he should be able to handle this field. (1) DREYDL HANOVER draws inside once again and is coming off a second-place performance in this class last week. He's a good play to be top three, but I don't think he can win. (5) GEORGE JETTISON posted a respectable qualifier and Darling always has his horses in top form. He might be the 'dark horse' in this field.
Race 7
(6) SUNNY BEACH DAY looks like he'll offer low value by his qualifying efforts. If he behaves himself, he's a major threat. The only horse I think can beat him is (8) DOOWRAH OMELET, who finished second in this class last week. He has been very consistent at this level and that will likely continue. (7) ER ROOM moves up in class, but I think he can make the transition. He's been very good at being top three so far in his career and shows enough speed to belong. All three horses can leave the gate very well. It may depend who gets the best trip.
Race 8
(1) ILLUSIONSNDREAMS begins from a good spot and enjoys being on the front-end. He went off as the favourite last week, but faded to third. He's at the same class, but with a repeat effort from two starts ago, I think he's the winner. (5) CANBEC FRIDOLIN has been ultra-consistent while racing at this level with a first and second-place effort. He usually offers value and that may be something to capitalize on. He's won at this level recently. (8) THE GAME PLAN got beat by a nose last week after a very impressive performance. He continues to drop time and if it happens again, he's a big player.
Race 9
(3) PACIFIC WESTERN debuted for O'Sullivan last week and scored a comfortable victory. He faces tougher competition, but I think he can drop even more time for McNair. (4) JOHNNY COME LATELY also faces tougher competition, but I think he can make the transition. I hope he's forwardly-placed off the gate. (1) FLIGHT EXEC has disappointed me recently by not finishing top three. My only concern is getting away too far back from the start. I'm looking for a rebound effort.
Race 10
(4) ATOKA MILLIONAIRE will likely go off as the post-time favourite and rightfully so. He's won two-straight at this level and begins from a good spot. Don't overlook that he's won 17 races this season. (2) GARETH NOURRIR hasn't been worse than second in his last number of starts. He begins from a good post, enjoys being near the front and has a good record this season. (7) EAST MEADOW has been very consistent at this level. He's a good play to be top three for Jamieson.
Race 11
(5) ELLIS PARK will face the same class as last week and should be able to be a top threat from a post five start. He's lightly-raced, appears fresh and will likely be the post-time favourite. (9) COLLEGE MAJOR raced very well last week after a post 10 start. He was parked the entire mile and finished strong. (4) JOSHUA MY BOY has proven to be very competitive at this level. He's a good selection to have for your triactor wagers. He's got a good record this season and may offer value.

Jose Mourinho has reportedly offered midfielder Michael Carrick a new contract. Carrick is in the final year of his current deal with United and had been rumoured to be talking to other clubs.
Carrick initially struggled to get into Mourinho's first team, but has now become one of the most influential players for United on the field. The midfielder is said to also be a very strong character in the dressing room, and his performance is credited with the upturn in Paul Pogba's form.
In another development, the player has urged his united team mates not to give up on their top four hopes just yet.
United are currently sixth and face an uphill task getting into one of the Champions League places, but Carrick believes there is no point giving up, as results of other teams could actually favour them.
Carrick has an immense amount of experience and with United set to sign a ton of new players in the Summer, they will need him to help integrate the new players, just as he has already done with the likes of Pogba.

There's no better way to cruise into summer than with a Corvette convertible. Well ok, it does get even more enhanced when it's a value-priced 2002 model with an exceptionally low 14,600 miles on the odometer. That's right! We could have put more miles on this car had we just driven it once a year from our showroom up to Manhattan and back.
There's something irresistible about a red Corvette. It's embedded in the tradition of America's sportscar, and it's possibly the only time you can get such a bright cherry hue without appearing boisterous. On this car it's still just as shiny as the day it came from the factory, which is a clear indication that this drop top only left the garage on sunny days. Of course, when it comes to shine, a proper American classic deserves some chrome. So this one has the optional deluxe high polish five-spoke wheels. But the best feature of this fifth generation (C5) car is the distinctive low, long hood of the Corvette that gives it a classic appearance connecting it with previous generations.
The all black interior is one of the most desirable combinations with red convertibles because it's so classically attractive. Even better is that this pampered drop top doesn't show any signs of sun damage. Corvettes come loaded straight from the factory, and this one has plenty of great modern features. This includes air conditioning, leather-wrapped steering wheel, airbags, AM/FM/CD stereo, power windows, power locks, anti-theft system, keyless entry, and a six-way power adjustable driver bucket seat. The full list is so long that we suggest you view our features section of this listing for all the info. We could go on, but then we wouldn't be able to mention the desirable optional upgrades. This one has sport leather seats, dual zone automatic climate control, and windshield heads up display (HUD). Most family-sized convertibles don't even offer a real trunk, but this personal sportscar has more than enough storage space for a two-person roadtrip. You can go on a golf holiday with the clubs and the luggage neatly stowed out of the way even when the top is down. Now that's a recipe for a great driving weekend!
The LS1 V8 was a huge leap forward in Corvette technology. The 5.7-liter motor is effortlessly powerful, suitably quiet, and surprisingly economical. It is one of those powerplants that releases a fierce growl when intimidated, but the animal remains tame and caged when it's not time to be aggressive. This convertible comes with a four-speed automatic overdrive transmission, power steering, four-wheel disc brakes, cruise control, BF Goodrich G-Force T/A KDW tires, and a fully independent double-wishbone suspension. So all Corvettes are made to be the meanest Saturday night cruisers around, but this one is also good for cross-country roadtrips.
You'll spend so many summers loving this convertible that you might not even notice how much of desired classic it will become. But when the day comes that you give in to market demand, you'll have original documentation such as the window sticker and owner's manual to help maximize your value. This is the car you promised yourself many years ago. Now is the right time, and this Corvette convertible is at the right price. Call now!!

AT&T just told the world that they are planning a launch of MMS capability towards iPhones Sept. 25th. This is a little later than anticipated being AT&T was supposed to enable MMS earlier this summer. AT&T also said they still have " no set date" for tethering capabilities. The MMS capability will come via an update for the iPhone 3G and 3GS.
"An Update on iPhone MMS for our Mobility Customers
We know many of our iPhone customers are eager for an update on our rollout schedule for Multimedia Messaging Service (MMS). We've been working for the past several months to prepare our systems and network to ensure the best possible experience with MMS when it launches – and that launch date is: September 25 for iPhone 3G and 3GS customers. MMS will be enabled through a software update on that day.
We know that iPhone users will embrace MMS. The unique capabilities and high usage of the iPhone's multimedia capabilities required us to work on our network MMS architecture to carry the expected record volumes of MMS traffic and ensure an excellent experience from Day One. We appreciate your patience as we work toward that end.
We're riding the leading edge of smartphone growth that's resulted in an explosion of traffic over the AT&T network. Wireless use on our network has grown an average of 350 percent year-over-year for the past two years, and is projected to continue at a rapid pace in 2009 and beyond. The volume of smartphone data traffic the AT&T network is handling is unmatched in the wireless industry. We want you to know that we're working relentlessly to innovate and invest in our network to anticipate this growth in usage and to stay ahead of the anticipated growth in data demand, new devices and applications for years to come.
We thank you for your business and look forward to keeping you updated on our initiatives."

Bay Brewing Yokohama Kannai
Bars and Nightlife
More craft brew for the Yokohama crew
Bay Brewing Yokohama had its long-anticipated opening in August. Shinya Suzuki, proprietor and head brewer, who has, until recently, been honing his craft at Yokohama Brewery, is the latest brewmaster to launch his own pub among the other craft beer bars and taprooms in Yokohama's new "Beer District" in the Kannai/Bashamichi area.
With high expectations and big thirsts, we stopped by on a sultry Saturday night, salivating at the thought of a new batch of malts to savor. We were greeted with a little less than expected—but not in a bad way. Though Bay Brewing Yokohama has some great craft brews on tap, sadly, none are proprietary—for now. It appears that the opening has been soft, offering a temporary selection of taps from other regional breweries, until their equipment is running full-tilt.
In the meantime, their selection of Japanese brews changes every day. We began with a pint of the Aomori Oirase amber lager (¥900) that looked more the color of a pale ale. Nicely malted and full-bodied—definitely on the nose for those who like it hoppy—were it not for the energy-sapping heat, we would have guzzled it down. Definitely a treat for fall.
Next up were pints of the Shiga Kogen IPA from Nagano. After the previous hops blast, Shiga Kogen's IPA was not overly bitter and its golden-amber color and grapefruit finish had us wondering if we had actually gotten our rounds mixed up—though not for long, as our bellies were adamant about getting some grub.
We ordered some nibbles off the daily sheet, all of the deep-fried goodness variety: home-style onion rings (¥400), goya chips (¥500) and a batch of deep-fried Camembert. The onion rings were history in no time, and the goya chips were deliciously bitter and salty—and seemed to last forever (well, considering how wolfishly we eat…). Our eagerness to mow down on hot cheese left us burning, but that just gave us another reason to order more beer.
It's not hard to sit in Bay Brewing Yokohama and anticipate the carefully crafted brews soon to come, and Shinya-san assured us that they would be available before the year's end. The lack of their own beer certainly didn't stop the small but steady trickle of patrons into the pub, though.
Blues was the name of the game music-wise, with Sonny Boy Williamson sticking out like a metal guitar slide on a hurt finger, and Muddy Waters' "Mannish Boy" encouraging bobbing heads, table-tapping backbeat and man-sized gulps.
We ended things with some half-pints of the Kaze no Tani pilsner (¥600), which went down so quickly, one round became two. The classic pils from Shizuoka was dry and light with an unobtrusive, citrusy fruit finish. Ending with a light beer, though not our habit, proved to be a pleasant way to end the evening, perfectly complimenting the hot weather. It earned a unanimous vote for best beer.
There's a definite "cart-before-the-horse" feel to Bay Brewing Yokohama—their own eagerly awaited brews aren't ready yet and the pub itself feels a bit unfinished. In the meantime, its convenient location—just a short walk from Kannai station—makes it a great place to start the evening off with some good craft beers before exploring the area's brew pubs, tap rooms, craft beer bars and other entertainment.

UF Exchange Programs
UF has exchange partners all over the world. In a given semester or academic year, UF sends each partner a predetermined number of students, and the partner, in return, sends an equal number of students to UF. A UF student enrolling at a partner school should, if possible, do so as an exchange student and not enroll directly.
Exchange program highlights:
- Most are one semester long or a full academic year. A few specific exchanges are active in the summer. None are short-term.
- A student on exchange pays tuition directly to UF for all courses.
- For all courses completed, a student on exchange receives UF credits which are averaged into the GPA.
- Most exchanges offer courses in specific subject areas. If a variety of subjects is offered, students are typically required to take one or more courses in the designated field.
- Many exchanges require fluency in the local language.
- A UF exchange student is often the only UF student participating in that exchange for that semester. Because American exchange students are treated just as other students at the campus, studying on exchange is a great immersion experience.
- Exchange is not an "all-expenses-paid" experience. Students on exchange make their own living arrangements and fill their free time as they wish. Studying on exchange is a great way to save money by giving students more freedom to control and plan their activities and expenses.
UF Exchange programs are generally considered the most cost effective way to study abroad because students pay tuition and fees directly to the University of Florida based on the number of credits that they take overseas. Additionally, students have the ability to coordinate their accommodation, meals, excursions and other program related expenses to fit their budgets. Students applying to UF Exchange programs will pay a service charge to the International Center that covers the services that our office provides. Additionally, students will be billed separately for the cost of health insurance enrollment through Cultural Insurance Services International.

MIT postdoc Daniel Schmidt has been awarded a Damon Runyon Cancer Research Foundation Fellowship.
Schmidt is one of 18 scientists to receive the award, which encourages the nation's most promising young scientists to pursue careers in cancer research by providing them with independent funding ($156,000 each, over three years) to work on innovative projects.
Schmidt works in the Synthetic Neurobiology Group under Benesse Career Development Associate Professor Edward Boyden. (The Synthetic Neurobiology Group is affiliated with the MIT Media Lab, the Department of Biological Engineering, the Department of Brain and Cognitive Sciences, and the McGovern Institute for Brain Research, among other departments and labs.) Schmidt's research focuses on the brain cancer glioblastoma multiforme, one of the most malignant, invasive and difficult-to-treat brain tumors. He is using bioengineered molecules as a way to investigate the role of ion channels, proteins critical to glioblastoma growth and metastasis. His findings will lead to a better understanding of how ion-channel disorders contribute to cancer development, and may represent new targets for cancer therapy.

Iran's Ahmadinejad Says Nuclear Program Will Proceed
TEHRAN, Iran – Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad declared Monday that Iran's nuclear program had grown 10 times stronger in the last year and said Western powers were wrong if they thought Iran would retreat under political pressure from its nuclear plans.
Ahmadeinejad's comments came as diplomats in Vienna said Iran is expanding its uranium enrichment program even as the U.N. Security Council focuses on possible sanctions for Tehran's defiance of its demand that it give up the activity and ease fears it seeks nuclear weapons, diplomats said Monday.
"Today the Iranian nation's (nuclear) strength is ten times stronger than it was last year at the beginning of this glorious path," Ahmadinejad said in a televised speech to a crowd in the southern city of Rey. "On the other hand, our enemy's strength has become ten times less than it was last year.
"They (the West) should know that taking advantage of nuclear energy is the demand of all the Iranian nation," he said, adding that "the Iranian nation insists on this right and will not retreat one iota."
The diplomats, who spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to divulge the information to media, told The Associated Press that within the past few weeks Iranian nuclear experts had started up a second pilot enrichment facility.
While the 164 centrifuges were not producing enriched uranium, even the decision to "dry test" them showed Iran's defiance of the Security Council.
Click here to go to FOXNews.com's Iran Center.
The Iranians disregarded an Aug. 31 deadline imposed by the Security Council to stop enrichment. They also turned down a package of incentives offered by the United States and its partners on condition that Iran ceases enrichment.
A draft resolution was expected to be circulated at the Security Council in the coming days that would impose limited sanctions. It remains unclear whether Russia and China — both veto-wielding permanent council members — would go along with punitive measures.
In Moscow, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said Monday he was hopeful that talks with the Iranians would resume and that there was a "real chance" for a negotiated settlement without sanctions.
However, the EU external relations commissioner, Benita Ferrero-Waldner, said Tehran had not responded positively to the incentives package and that the Security Council may need to explore "another alternative."
In Israel, Prime Minister Ehud Olmert said Iran must be prevented from attaining nuclear weapons, and its threats to destroy Israel must not be taken lightly.
"We have to prepare for the struggle to prevent this capability being attained," Olmert said during a business conference Monday, referring to the possibility of an Iranian nuclear weapon. "This struggle is not just Israel's."
During his speech, Ahmadinejad again called for the destruction of Israel and referred to Israeli officials as "a bunch of terrorists, a bunch of murderers."
The Associated Press contributed to this report.

Reading boss Brian McDermott says the self-belief is returning after victory over West Ham United.
The win takes Reading five points behind 17th-placed Aston Villa and McDermott believes a change of mindset has made his side more miserly of late.
When asked what had changed over the past few games, McDermott said: "A tactical switch, a mindset switch, we have to do what we have to do to pick up results and I have been fortunate in the last three years that I have got results - we are in a results business whatever league we are playing in and we need to keep that going.
"Last year was a miracle to win the Championship, I don't know how many points we are behind but all I know is that we have got to try and win the next game."

Google Now appears to be sleeping in this morning. After reports from AndroidCentral seemed to suggest the service was offline, we tested it ourselves and found that it's not working as usual. I usually test the service by asking the Jets score — you know, to remind myself of the terrible season they just had — and while I get the score, I don't get the voice response. The cards appear to be working properly, it's the search option that seems finicky. I guess that technically means it's Google Search that's down, right?
We're guessing this is a small hiccup that will be fixed in a few hours at most, but who knows? Let us know if you're having the same problem if you have an Android phone running version 4.1 or 4.2.

In all the post-breakup advice articles on the internet, rebounds get a very bad rap. But today, we decided to ask ourselves—are they really all that bad? Don't get us wrong, we still think that jumping into a serious relationship immediately after getting out of a previous one is a bad idea.
But how bad could a casual fling be? It can give you an ego boost at a time when you're feeling not-so-great about yourself (especially if you're the one who got dumped), and can provide some fun to get you out of the dumps. It can be a good distraction, and is definitely better than moping around at home and bingeing on too much chocolate ice cream and crying over your ex's social media!
However, there are some things you should keep in mind when it comes to casual post-breakup flings to avoid things getting messy.
Make sure the person doesn't know your ex
If you end up having a fling with someone your ex knows, the news is bound to get to them sometime or the other, and this could lead to an ugly and awkward situation!
Ensure the person isn't a douchebag
After a breakup, you're particularly emotionally vulnerable, which makes it easy to get taken advantage of. So, if you've heard bad things about the person you're having a fling with, be careful.
Don't get emotionally involved
It's easy to mistake sexual attention for emotional attention when you're vulnerable after a breakup, but consciously remind yourself that this is just a fling, and to not get attached. Make sure you tell the person you're not looking for anything serious It's important to be on the same page as the person, so make sure they know you've just gotten out of a relationship and aren't looking to get serious.
Resist the temptation to tell your ex about it
It can be very tempting to casually tell your ex that you're having a fling just to spite them, but take the high road and avoid this. Just enjoy your fling and forget about your ex!
If you follow these pointers, there's no reason a casual little fling could do you any harm. In fact, it can help reduce the initial sadness and move on more easily. So go on, go bar-hopping with your girls and find a cool person to have a fling with! We've even got an edit below of the perfect dresses for you to wear.

Single Hole Faucets, as the name suggests are faucets for bathroom sinks that only require one mounting hole. The faucets are typically used with sinks that have one predrilled hole for a faucet. Many single hole faucets can also be used as centerset faucets (4 widespread) when used with an optional adapter plate. Even though vessel sink faucets are also single hole faucets, the difference here is that single hole faucets are shorter than their vessel counterparts, and are typically used with drop in or under mount bathroom sinks.Prices are currently being displayed in USD funds.

Navesink Arts Center Housed in Former Library Site
By John Burton
MIDDLETOWN – Paul and Lori Renick have been working hard to make sure the building that was home to the public library branch – and continues to be for the Monmouth Players – gets a second act.
"Our goal is to see this as a performing arts/visual arts center," said Paul Renick of the former Navesink branch library at 149 Monmouth Ave.
Since March, when the township's library system closed all three of its branches, the Renicks have been working with the not-for-profit foundation that owns and maintains the structure to establish the Navesink Arts Center.
The Highlands couple, who operate a carpentry business and have been long active with the Monmouth Players community theater group, have been working and overseeing the work at the site. The work includes new carpets – the first since 1989; a new paint job, the first in more than 20 years; refurbishing the existing tin ceiling; and general cleanup work to get the building in shape for the Monmouth Players community theater troupe's season. That's all happening as they move forward with plans to formally establish the arts center.
The site is now hosting the Monmouth Players production of Neil Simon's Brighton Beach Memoirs (running Oct. 18-20 and 26-27 and Nov. 2). It's the first of four shows the company is producing this season. The Navesink Arts Center will also feature performances by local singer/songwriters on Nov. 16; and an art exhibit/sale being presented by the Beauregard Fine Art gallery, Rumson.
In the future, the Renicks and the arts center will be working with the Navesink School, the K-3 grade school next door, and its parent-teacher organization to establish an art program for the students.
"I don't want just arts and crafts," Lori Renick said. "I want real art classes … There are some real talented kids out there."
She hopes the arts center will be able to nurture that talent.
The building was completed by the Duryea Foundation in 1917 in memory of its founder, Herman B. Duryea, a sportsman and thoroughbred racehorse breeder. The foundation operated the site as a cultural and community center that had a lending library – the first in Middletown and one of the first in the state – and had tennis courts which still exist, plus a gymnasium and auditorium and even a bowling alley in its lower level, according to Michael Winchell, president of the board of directors for the Duryea-Navesink Library Association.
The Duryea Foundation merged with the Navesink Library Association in 1994, establishing the new 501(c) 3, not-for-profit organization.
The purpose of the foundation and its building was to be available for "social, literary, artistic and educational activities," Winchell said.
The foundation allowed the township to operate the branch library at the building, starting in 1959 with the township paying $1 a year until closing the branch in March. The township's parks and recreation department also used the site's tennis courts until about 10 years ago, Winchell said.
Lori and Paul Renick have been involved with the Monmouth Players since 1993, with Paul serving as its president since 1997. The group has been putting on productions for 60 years, initially at Rumson's Bingham Hall, then Red Bank Catholic High School and the Leonardo grammar school, before settling in at the Duryea house 57 years ago, Paul Renick said.
Neither of the Renicks had a background – or even an interest – in theater when asked if they would like to help the Monmouth Players mount a production. They started by assisting with set building, then did some acting and now Paul directs some shows. "I'm a frustrated artist," he said. "It's my way to paint a picture."
Other than an endowment that is used for the building's upkeep, the Monmouth Players is the only way the site generates revenue at this time – at least until a fuller slate of programs can be developed, Winchell said. The Duryea-Navesink Library Association and theater group are now discussing a merger to establish the long-term financial health of the site, he said.
On the financial front, Paul Renick said he hasn't and doesn't plan to seek any government assistance for what he and his wife hope to do, believing the arts center can be self-sustaining. "I don't want to be encumbered by their rules or politics," he stressed.
The site will eventually be available to the public with the former library space being dedicated as a community reading room with books available and a children's area that will host storytime and other programs. The area also could be used as an alternative performance space that will hopefully generate some additional revenue, Lori Renick said.
Further plans look toward removing the two rear tennis courts and developing a community art garden, consisting of sculptures and a winding path leading to a tranquil garden area, Lori Renick said. Those plans, however, are "crazy ambitious," and will have to wait for a couple of years, she conceded.
For now the work at the Navesink Arts Center is about continuing with the cleaning and hosting the show, they said.

DWIGHT (AP) — Police say two people were killed and another was injured after a shooting in a Dwight home Saturday morning.
The Dwight Police Department said a man who was shot called authorities who arrived at 4:30 a.m. Police found two women dead and the man lying on the floor.
The man was undergoing surgery.
Police did not identify the three individuals and could not confirm whether all three lived at the house.
Police Chief Tim Henson says authorities will not "let any stone go unturned" as they investigate.
Anyone with information has been asked to call the Dwight Police Department at (815) 584-3132.

"I know he said he's leaving, but I'll really have to see it to believe it," said Aurelio, who played for Donohue from 1989 to 1992, and has been an assistant coach since 1994. "I mean, he is Lowell baseball."
Despite the skepticism of Aurelio, Donohue insists he'll be gone after next season, but not before he racks up a few more coaching milestones. Following his team's 10-0 victory over Lincoln on Monday, Donohue now stands at 699 careers wins, sixth-most among active coaches in the state, and the most in Northern California. Weather permitting — the forecast does call for rain — he'll go for win No. 700 today against Washington.
"There is no way I would be here today, without the support of everyone," said Donohue, who has racked up 12 Academic Athletic Association-San Francisco Section championships as a coach, including two separate three-peats. "Not just my players, but my assistant coaches, the alumni, the families, the athletic director, the principal. All the credit goes to them."
Donohue joined the Cardinals in 1983, after 15 years of coaching youth baseball and a brief, unsuccessful stint as a player at St. Ignatius in the late 1960s.
"I was a terrible player," Donohue said. "But I learned a lot there."
Donohue's first team at Lowell posted a 6-9-1 record. Since then, he's led the team to an astounding 30 straight playoff appearances, earning the California Baseball Coach of the Year award in 2006, and a National Coach of the Year Award in 2013.
He's coached numerous players who went on to the Division I level, including Kevin Jordan, who played for Lowell in the 80s and broke into the majors with the Phillies in 1995.
Throughout his career, he's maintained the same meticulous, analytical approach to baseball that has helped formulate the bedrock for a winning culture at Lowell.
"He's using the same signs, breaking out the same drills at practice, taking the kids to the same tournaments," Aurelio said. "That consistency is what has attracted back the alumni and made this program so successful. And, of course, he's still thinking two plays or two games or two weeks ahead whenever he makes a decision."
Led by a strong contingency of juniors, Lowell is once again having a standout season, compiling an 11-2 record following its five-inning victory against Lincoln. If the team does not play this week because of rain, Donohue could notch win 700 at next week's Bishop Gorman Desert Classic, a midseason tournament in Reno, Nev.
Donohue said it would be great to go out with one more three-peat — if the Cardinals win this year and in his final season, he'll accomplish that.
Although he acknowledged the challenges Lowell faces this year, particularly from Galileo, which is coached by Don Papa, Donohue's classmate at St. Ignatius.
If he is unable to accomplish that last memorable feat, Donohue still sounds pretty comfortable with his legacy.
"I get to drive through Golden Gate Park and coach games at Big Rec field, so there is nothing I can ever complain about," Donohue said. "I feel pretty blessed to have been able to this for this long."

I don't really know exactly what stood out in my mind about this most exceptional bus tour but I've listed below some of the experiences which made it so special. Robert Wilson (Fun Tassie Tours) runs a very intimate little bus tour business which showcases the best of Tasmania. We were given a great appreciation of the historical, social, agricultural, architectural, manufacturing, mining, artists and flora and fauna. Maybe the stand out day was when Robert showed us the fairy penguins, herding us all down to the sea in the dark with his special torch and detailed instructions as to how we were to behave and not get in the way of penguins, this was so exciting. Maybe it was the day that he has us crawling around in the long grass trying to sneak up on the wombats for a great photo or the amazing bbq dinner he personally cooked and hosted for all 10 visitors at Cradle Mountain. No, for me it was when Robert jumped over the roped off area at the Wall and took not just us but everyone else who was there on the day for a guided tour of this exceptional art space. The Pied Piper is probably the best analogy that springs to mind as he brought the story of the carvings to life for us all. Kindness and thoughtfulness as shown to each and everyone on the trip, you'll have a treasure of a time with Fun Tassie Tours. Regards Anne Morrissey

The usual suspects are outraged, but I can't figure out why…
A woman who had a miscarriage at a private prison was left to clean up after herself while the foetus remained in her cell, it has been alleged.Her barrister, Philip Gibbs, told Leicester Crown Court: "There was blood everywhere and she was made to clean it up."The baby was not removed from the cell. It was quite appalling. It was very traumatic. She only received health care three days later, after the governor intervened."
What's the problem? Isn't it just 'a clump of tissue'?

Leaving Las Vegas
Yes, I said it. I am more than ready to get out of Las Vegas. I hate my job, I hate the rude people here, and I hate the lack of plants and the color green. It is time to move on. I have been thinking about it a lot lately, but was not sure about what I wanted to do or where I wanted to go. I really miss my family and would like to be closer to them, but Utah is just not the place for me either. So what is a girl to do? Well first she decides to finally take her friend up on an offer for a weekend road trip to San Diego.
They check out some fun places like Seaport village. Check out the size of this naval ship! (picture all 3 pictures as 1, it's huge!)
I love, love, love this statue!
They hit the beach of course. I could have just pitched a tent right then and there and lived out my days completely happy! Who knows, maybe I will learn to surf, although I think I need to learn how to swim first!
We walked out into the middle of the ocean along this pier, and checked out all of the cool shops they have along the ocean.
So what can a girl do but fall in love with San Diego and decide that she probably wants to live there. Of course, there is the beach (that's the pier)
And that is enough itself, but there is so much more. People seem so happy there and they are friendly and there is so much to do and see! It just hit me that this was the place that I needed to be. So I am going forward full throttle! I have been looking for jobs and sent my resume in to a couple of places. I went back again this last weekend and we drove around checking out places to live. I am taking some time off of work next week so that I can hopefully set up some interviews and if everything works out ok, I am OUT of Vegas!
Brian is probably too young to remember, but Steph, remember the fond memories of this place? Ha Ha! Isn't this also the place where you and your love affair with bleu cheese began?
So that is my new plan. I am excited to see where it takes me!

European mentality can spur Leicester's domestic revival - Ranieri
REUTERS - Leicester City manager Claudio Ranieri has asked for a change in mentality to revive the club's Premier League campaign which is in stark contrast to their impressive Champions League form.
Champions Leicester sit 13th in the Premier League after a mixed start to the season while being on the brink of entering the Champions League knockout rounds after three group stage wins.
"We cannot continue in this way and our goal is to change our concentration in the Premier League," Ranieri told British media.
"When you are playing in the Champions League, your mind is more concentrated, you are more focused on the match.
"You lose something when you play in the league, that is normal, but I hope we can change this soon. I am very proud on one side, while in the Premier League I'm very hungry.
"We are in a good position (in Europe) and our destiny is in our own hands. We have to stay calm now and change our mentality in the Premier League because Palace will be a very tough match."
Leicester host ninth-placed Crystal Palace at the King Power Stadium on Saturday.

Re: Beware of pre-purchasing gift certificates
Doesn't it kust make you crazy when people don't know how to say "I apologize on behalf of the company I work for?" What is it with this "it isn't my job so don't complain to me about it?" attitude that is so pervasive these days?
I agree with you, I would be VERY upset if I paid for something like that and it wasn't delivered to my guests, and I am just very happy you left your parents a note telling them about your "surprise."
I have had similar things like that happen to me. We once had a "surprise" bottle of champagne delivered to our cabin at about 2:00 am in the morning. They woke us up from a sound sleep. How stupid can you be?

Only around two weeks to go until the beginning of the next Ashes series and England are the warm favourites despite many cricket betting tips suggesting they might struggle to win a fourth Ashes series in a row. A win in Australia would make this England's greatest period of dominance over Australia since 1980 so would be some achievement. Since then, England have managed to win three Ashes series in a row on three occasions but the fourth win has always eluded them.
With this series being in Australia, and England having a relatively poor recent record in Australia which reads just one win down under in six attempts since 1990, it is no surprise that England aren't as short as they were to win the most recent Ashes series. Instead those that shop around with the bookmakers can earn odds of 11/10 on an England series win. Australia are next best at 7/4 whilst the draw is the least likely result at 9/2.
Tipsters on sports community OLBG.com have been discussing the best bets for this Ashes series as there is not only up to ?250 in cash prizes available to cricket tipsters every month but there is also ?200 available only to those submitting tips for the Ashes. It seems there is quite a lot of support behind the draw despite the bookies thinking it is the least likely outcome. OLBG member 'uls2000' is picking this as much based on form as gut instinct. He reckons the summer Ashes series was much closer than the 3-0 scoreline suggests with only one test being settled decisively. He reckons based on the last five Ashes series in Australia there is a good chance that one of the tests will end a draw and that would leave the 2-2 scoreline a decent call. Incidentally the bookmakers appear to agree with 'uls2000', they may make the draw the least likely option but the favourite in the series correct score betting is actually 2-2 at 13/2.
There are plenty of tips for Australia also, 'jmferreiro' thinks Australia showed signs of getting their act together in the most recent Ashes series and he thinks they'll be much better at home on their own wickets where they'll be very hard to beat. 'ssforte44' also fancies Australia due to home advantage, he thinks the players are coming of age based on the recent impressive tour of India and he's expecting an even stronger show from the Aussies on home soil.
Top Series Batsman is likely to be a popular market and the bookies are unable to split the three market leaders currently with Michael Clarke, Alastair Cook and Kevin Pietersen all priced up at 5/1. Ian Bell is the pick of OLBG tipster 'CaspianPaget' at 6/1 due to how well he played in the summer Ashes series. He admits that Bell doesn't have the best record in Australia and Cook might be a more logical pick but he reckons Bell is playing as well as ever and rates a decent value bet.
The first Ashes test gets underway at The Gabba and the bookies make it an even contest with England narrow favourites at 6/4 and Australia just behind at 13/8. For more tips and thoughts on the first test and the other series long markets visit OLBG.com.

18212 v2 - Destination New Zealand Student Manual
Unit standard(s) covered: 18212

The manual consists of two basic parts. Firstly, we take an overview of New Zealand as a whole -
looking at its global location, and its key geographical features.
These include mountains, mountain ranges, lakes, and rivers.
Many of these extend for two or more regions of the country.
It is best to look at them generally before considering their impact on any one region.
Secondly we consider the separate parts of New Zealand.
The tourism industry divides New Zealand up into two dozen or more regions,
so that each of them can promote the specifi c features, attractions,
and activities of each area. We shall be considering each of these regions in turn,
moving from north to south through the country.
