Bacteria's favorite hangouts
It's a given that shopping does damage to your wallet, but experts are now saying that it could also be harmful to your health. Close quarters inside the stores, combined with dry heat, poor hygiene by other shoppers and less-than-ideal cleanliness inside many malls can equal a cold or more severe illnesses. And though your body is designed to fight bacteria, it'll really get a workout during the next few months. "The mucous of our nasal passages captures and clears dust, microbes and debris, but this process may be a little less efficient in dry, warm, recirculating air," said Betsey Dyer, biology professor at Wheaton College in Massachusetts, and author of "A Field Guide to Bacteria." "If a person's nasal passages are already compromised with either a common cold or flu virus, a secondary infection of bacteria could settle in such as strep throat, pneumonia, bronchitis or whooping cough." Learn how to protect yourself by knowing where the germs are and following our expert's tips on avoidance. By Danielle Braff, Special to Tribune Newspapers firstname.lastname@example.com

UK Parliament Blasts Google Over Piracy
Sep 26, 2013 10:00 AM PT
Departing from the normal routine of chiding Google over taxes, British parliament is trying its hand at chiding Google over piracy.
A select committee accused Google of apathetically failing to curb piracy. The chairman of the committee, John Whittingdale, said that MPs were "unimpressed by Google's continued failure to stop" displaying search results for illegal content.
He went on to say that Google's efforts have thus far been "derisory," which, according to a Google search, means "ridiculously small or inadequate."
Members of parliament say they are holding Google to a higher standard than other search engines, claiming the company has the power to influence policy-making.
The UK's music body, the anti-piracy-crusading BPI, reported to parliament that in a sample of Google searches for popular artists, 61 percent of the top 10 sites are for pirated material. (It was 63 percent last year.)
Google insists that it does its part, having removed more than 20 million links to pirated content in the last month alone. Google also points out that a minute percentage of British copyright infringers use Google to scour for content.
The UK has been zealous in its fight against piracy. Parliament has forced Internet service providers to block numerous sites that pedal pirated content, while the aforementioned BPI has been granted broad powers -- too broad, according to some -- to add sites to the blacklist.

US Companies Fear EU 'Patent Trolls'
Fourteen companies, including several from the U.S., penned a letter to European officials detailing concerns about pending changes that will unify the 28-nation bloc's patent court system.
Companies had generally been supportive of the proposed unified patent system, which is likely to begin in 2015. A single system, the thinking went, would enable companies to avoid the country-by-country patent lawsuits that have caused headaches (and cost millions) as similar cases were tried in different nations with different rules.
However, there is now concern that the changes could be exploited by "patent assertion entities," or "patent trolls," as they are unaffectionately known. The fear is that patent trolls will create a European equivalent to the Eastern District of Texas, a jurisdiction that is ground zero for patent litigation because of quick-moving cases and sympathetic juries. (In 2010, a jury awarded a small company more than US$600 million in a lawsuit against Apple. The ruling was later overturned, but it nonetheless solidified the district's reputation as the place to sue.)
Apple, BlackBerry, Cisco, Google, Microsoft, Samsung, Hewlett-Packard and Intel were among the companies to sign the letter. A few European companies, including Adidas, also signed.

China Not Allowing Facebook After All
Yeah, about China's landmark decision to allow Facebook and Twitter...
Chinese state media is refuting claims that Facebook, Twitter and The New York Times website would be unblocked in Shanghai.
Earlier this week, the South China Morning Post reported that certain banned sites would be permitted on networks in the Shanghai Free Trade Zone, a special economic area that has more free market-friendly policies than the rest of China, at least theoretically.
Now "official sources" are being quoted saying that the special zone, which spans about 17 square miles, will have the same "management measures over the Internet" as the rest of China. In other words, no Facebook.

Apple Wins 'iPhone' Ruling in Brazil
A judge in Brazil ruled that Apple has the right to use the "iPhone" name in the country.
Brazil's intellectual property agency, INPI, ruled earlier this year that a Brazilian company, Gradiente, owned the rights to the name. Gradiente nabbed the name 12 years ago, long before the iPhone existed. This ruling will undo the previous one and should make things simpler for Apple -- so long as the appeal goes its way.
Apple has faced naming problems in China, as well. The company paid $60 million to Shenzhen Proview Technology to settle a claim over the rights to "iPad."

Meet Monika Winn, Employee of the Month
De Anza is literally a family affair for accounting assistant Monika Winn, whose two sons attend classes and work on campus, too. Winn is a 20-year employee who manages accounts payable for the Foothill and De Anza Bookstores.
Going above and beyond the call of duty is just one of Winn's virtues, Paula Ahrens says. "Monika works long hours without complaining, seamlessly multi-tasks the needs of both bookstores, and is always available to help out in order to get the job done." Ahrens adds that Winn never looks for accolades.
"I'm handy when it comes to fixing things," Winn says. "I love the atmosphere at De Anza, and I love working with my colleagues."

http://mmajunkie.com HOUSTON – Saturday's UFC 136 event drew an announced attendance of 16,164 fans and a live gate of $2.23 million.
UFC president Dana White announced the figures in the night's post-event press conference.
UFC 136 took place at Houston's Toyota Center and saw lightweight champion Frankie Edgar earn a fourth-round TKO victory over longtime rival Gray Maynard.
UFC featherweight champion Jose Aldo also defended his title with a decision win over Kenny Florian.
The number of complimentary tickets issued was not revealed, but the reported numbers represent an average revenue of $137.96 per ticket issued.
UFC 136 marked the UFC's first event in Houston since 2007's historic UFC 69 event, where Matt Serra famously upset UFC welterweight champion Georges St-Pierre. That event drew 15,269 people and scored $2,817,200.
White said UFC 69 was the largest gate in Toyota Center history, and Saturday's UFC 136 event qualified for fourth.

WASHINGTON - House Speaker Dennis Hastert dropped a bombshell on flood-ravaged New Orleans on Thursday by suggesting that it isn't sensible to rebuild the city.
"It doesn't make sense to me, " Hastert told the Daily Herald in suburban Chicago in editions published today. "And it's a question that certainly we should ask."
Hastert's comments came as Congress cut short its summer recess and raced back to Washington to take up an emergency aid package expected to be $10 billion or more. Details of the legislation are still emerging, but it is expected to target critical items such as buses to evacuate the city, reinforcing existing flood protection and providing food and shelter for a growing population of refugees.
The Illinois Republican's comments drew an immediate rebuke from Louisiana officials.
"That's like saying we should shut down Los Angeles because it's built in an earthquake zone, " former Sen. John Breaux, D-La., said. "Or like saying that after the Great Chicago fire of 1871, the U.S. government should have just abandoned the city."
Hastert said that he supports an emergency bailout, but raised questions about a long-term rebuilding effort. As the most powerful voice in the Republican-controlled House, Hastert is in a position to block any legislation that he opposes.
"We help replace, we help relieve disaster, " Hastert said. "But I think federal insurance and everything that goes along with it... we ought to take a second look at that."
The speaker's comments were in stark contrast to those delivered by President Bush during an appearance this morning on ABC's "Good Morning America."
"I want the people of New Orleans to know that after rescuing them and stabilizing the situation, there will be plans in place to help this great city get back on its feet, " Bush said. "There is no doubt in my mind that New Orleans is going to rise up again as a great city."
Insurance industry executives estimated that claims from the storm could range up to $19 billion. Rebuilding the city, which is more than 80 percent submerged, could cost tens of billions of dollars more, experts projected.
Hastert questioned the wisdom of rebuilding a city below sea level that will continue to be in the path of powerful hurricanes.
"You know we build Los Angeles and San Francisco on top of earthquake issures and they rebuild, too. Stubbornness, " he said.
Hastert wasn't the only one questioning the rebuilding of New Orleans. The Waterbury, Conn., Republican-American newspaper wrote an editorial Wednesday entitled, "Is New Orleans worth reclaiming?"
"Americans' hearts go out to the people in Katrina's path, " it said. "But if the people of New Orleans and other low-lying areas insist on living in harm's way, they ought to accept responsibility for what happens to them and their property."

If We Don't Build It, They Will Still Come
Is there a need for more parking in downtown Laguna?
As a concept plan for a Village Entrance nears completion, naysayers are starting their drumbeat against a need for more parking. I offer some initial first thoughts to make a case that there is a need.
1) A citywide poll of Laguna residents in 2012 conducted by a reputable national pollster concluded that the No. 1 concern of residents is parking, traffic and circulation.
2) No parking study(ies) completed to date by the city have taken into account the 3,000 homes and apartments being opened by the Irvine Company (located on the south side of I-405) or the 4,000-10,000 houses as part of the city of Irvine's Five Points development to be built — all with access to – and egress from – Laguna Canyon Road. The good news is all those residents will shop and be entertained in Laguna all year round. The scary news is that we're the closest beach for them. Where will they park if they are headed for our downtown?
How can we alleviate downtown congestion? I can argue that, if the destination of visitors is downtown Laguna, we need to "park" them before they enter the city center (but not too far away from our restaurants and retailers) in a garage just on the edge of town – across from the Festival of Arts grounds: the Village Entrance.
3) If the Festival of Arts and Playhouse were to make greater use of their venues with year-round entertainment, presentations and events, wouldn't more parking, close-by, be advantageous to them.
After 18 years of planning and studies for a Village Entrance project — at an expense of $650,000 (not including staff and volunteer time) — isn't it time to actually "get something done" and gain a beautiful entryway, park and a garage that creates up to 200 more spaces at the edge of the downtown?
If you'd like to see more parking in the downtown, let your voice be heard and join us for a presentation of the Village Entrance concept at Laguna Beach City Hall on March 26 at 5 p.m. The public is invited.

I'm holding a copy of the LAGUNA BEACH Downtown Specific Plan, on page II-6 it says the parking survey of 1997 shows a total of 1535 public parking spaces were identified in the Central Business District. If the modest growth in parking demand were only 3% per year, by the year 2021 we would double our demand for downtown parking, we would need an additional 1535 spaces for a total of 3070. A parking garage like the one proposed will add 200 more spaces bringing our total capacity to 1735. We are still short 1335 spaces to meet the demand in 2021.
Instead of building ONE parking garage lets build FOUR identical garages tomorrow at 200 spaces each. Do the math and you will see we are still short 735 spaces to meet the demand in 2021, only 8 years from now.
We still haven't considered the parking anomaly from Five Points or the Irvine Company. Maybe now everybody can see a parking strategy based on building parking garages is futile in Laguna Beach. May I add the cost for those SPACES is $10k-$40k EACH depending on proximity to the beach. Don't like the growth estimate of 3%? Choose a realistic number to satisfy yourself, then start looking for the space to build those parking garages.
Thank you Ms. Pearson, this example illustrates the parking problem Laguna faces when accommodating visitors and residents driving cars.
March 13, 2013 at 6:45 pm
I never think of Laguna Beach as a destination because parking is non-existent from an outsider's point of view. Sure, with local knowledge you know where to squeeze in. Forget it if you don't have local knowledge. But if there was a 200 car lot up the canyon, and I could park there and rent a bicycle to ride in to town with my family, I would probably be there twice a month with my family to dine and once in a while to visit Dr. DiGiovanni with my son to get his braces adjusted. Instead, I stay in Newport Beach, in Newport Coast and more and more in Corona del Mar with the sharrows installed on the Coast Highway, we can ride our bicycles to destinations.
March 13, 2013 at 7:18 pm
Thank you Elizabeth. It's great to see the City in "do" mode. I think this will be a great addition to the city, especially if there are bike rentals and free transit nearby. And adding 200 spaces will allow us to replace Forest Avenue parking with a Forest Avenue pedestrian promenade – two wins in one.
March 14, 2013 at 4:42 pm
Who's running Laguna Beach and for whom? If the answer to both is "business owners" then building 200, 400, 800, or a thousand more parking spaces makes perfect sense. And while you're at it, take the one good idea suggested so far– Forest as a pedestrian mall– and run with it. Turn all downtown into a giant Downtown Disney or sell out completely and build another Spectrum. Tourists will flock– you'll be the only historic, authentic pedestrian escape in car-choked SoCal. All you'll need is an 8 story monster crammed into the hillside with 125 spaces at $15,000 each or a measly $15-million. Charge every resident $625 for the privilege of parking in their own town and you've fully subsidized your merchants. They'd like that.
Or you could try for a balanced transportation plan that accommodated both motor and non-motor transportation. You know, ideas that reduce car dependence, make it a little less convenient to drive but reduce danger to pedestrians and bicyclists. But that'd be scary. Guess that's a non-starter, huh?
March 15, 2013 at 6:46 am
The city needs a parking garage installed across from the Play house on city owned property. The sooner, the better. The City should have requested the money from the stimulus package a few years back…
April 1, 2013 at 8:54 pm
Lets work toghter with the business in town and make strides. The fact is we want those shops. They support our city with tax revenue and are a convinient place to shop and dine. We want the services they provide. Putting your head in the sand and saying we are goind to come up with new ideas just does not work. Come up with the new ideas now. until then it is build baby build. These spots we will build will be for employees to park in. We know they are here for a entire shift. we bus them to town and make a system that works. leaving premium spots for our guest our visitor. We choose to live in a town that we do not want to turn into Disney. then we need to make the tough decisions now. Let see you drive to disney and park in front of your shop. you cant. that is part of our charm. let the customers and vistors park there. Keep small small.

Really don't think so, do you really think Tatsumi would let the chance slip by if he could remove her head from her shoulders after what she had done? I am all for love, but when you are blinded by it than it is a problem. She haven't got killed yet unfortunately, though we may see the confrontation sooner or later. Though both females don't know Tatsumi is in Night Raid, I mean come on. Just from appearance does he look like an assassin?

The manga has 5 to 6 volumes with 25/26+ chapters...
And since its a monthly basis a month or two of continuous translation would be enough to catch up with the current issue...
Agree with you there, the only known mangas are those with translation or being shipped overseas...
If a clash between teigu users would result to either or both deaths then it'll to be expected that Esdes group against nightraid would result to casualties of both sides.
The question is how long before rabac, leone and the others would live.
Basing scissor girl's death and those of the empire... no member of nightraid would die a pleasant death...

It is unlikely there would be a large scale engagement between a huge number of Teigu users. Tatsumi is an equalizer due to the fact he already encounter two Teigu users and one of them is in love with him. Tatsumi is improving greatly in skills, though his mindset is still naive. It is better later on in the story due to the experience he have gained. Before coming to the capital, he just fought against Monsters. Though Monsters are no where near the capabilities of humans killing off each other.

You pretty much can't say anything when you are unconscious. Remember, the only thing that came out of his mouth at the time was "Eh Eh" when she places a collar on him. Then she knocks him out and carries him on her shoulders. She is a Sadist after all, so it makes sense. Though I wonder what would be her reaction of finding out Tatsumi is part of Nightraid? You know there are several enemies I want to be killed. Setting aside the naive little girl with a monster teddy bear, I believe the one who needs the most killing if not torture is the kid King. Doesn't take genius to figure out that his adviser is corrupted, I mean he didn't even bat an eye when the Prime Minster said to the guy who oppose him he will rape his wife. Seriously, kid King needs to be tortured for turning his back on his people. In all of history, there haven't been a good successful Young King. King Tut was close, but he died before he became 20.

By all means, Esdes is somewhat similar to Vali so its no wonder why the Minister consider her a trump card... an ultimate trump card...
Wonder what would he say as per se someone manage to make her switch allegiance...
After all she's a loose beast without any other purpose except for carnage... before gaining that...
About the young emperor... it may have been naivety and his complete trust to that fatso that he never consider them to be at the side of wrong like pet girl but if he has to die then the very least it would be nice for him to have a different view or have his eyes open even about the evil of the empire before the prime minister kills him while he dies in self regret and such...

Sorry about that Iron Maw, thought everyone knew about it. Anyway, we know that the Kid King only won the position of King due to the Prime Minister, so I wonder who was his opposition? Neutral Zero, I kind of disagree with the Kid King needs to open his eyes. If a guy tell another guy he will rape his wife before he goes to prison isn't an eye opener than I don't know what is. Seems like Esdese does have a chance to switch allegiance though it would be hard for anyone to accept her help considering what she has done.

picked this one up on a whim, was suprised by how fun it is. Like Tatsumi as a protag, an actual DUDE not these whimpy whiney milequetoasts that magically summon inner badassery.
Plus the violence is hardcore, real punch.
Lets see where we go with Edesse's "Love".

you have your point but if by chance he is pure then that answer it all...
kinda like a blind follower...
He believe in fatso and consider him good (supposedly) ergo things he commit can never be evil and those he consider as ever were indeed evil...
That's why we mentioned matter about having his eyes open or the very least awareness of the actual facts but he being him... doubt it...
Kinda like Galileo and his little misunderstanding with the pope of his time...

Weekly reports of rapid alert system for food and feed go on-line
Commissioner David Byrne announced today at the Agricultural Council the publication, on the Commission's Europa Web site, of weekly reports from the rapid alert system for food and feed. The rapid alert system is a network of national authorities managed by the European Commission that exchanges information on measures taken to address potential health risks in the area of food and feed.
Commissioner Byrne, responsible for Health and Consumer Protection, said: "As set out in the EU's general Regulation on Food Safety we are going to publish each week a report containing information on all notifications, and make this available on the internet. Information will be provided on the type of product and the problem identified, the origin of the product and the notifying Member State. However, we have to strike the necessary balance between openness and protection of commercially sensitive information, such as names of companies. The system has gained a high level of credibility from all parties involved, and fears of negative publicity should not jeopardise the good co-operation achieved."
The Commission has already taken a step towards transparency by publishing, for the first time, an annual activity report for 2002 for the rapid alert system, and making this available on the internet. This report gives a complete overview of all the notifications, the breakdown of notifications by notifying Member State, by food product concerned, by the hazard identified and by producing country.
The rapid alert system is a concrete and visible result of European integration. The quick exchange of information about food related risks ensures coherent and simultaneous actions by all Member States. This is a very important contribution to consumer safety. Consumers can be reassured that all necessary measures have either already been taken, or are in the process of being taken, for products subject to a notification.

NPR's Backseat Book Club is back! And we begin this round of reading adventures with a cherished classic: Black Beauty by Anna Sewell. Generations of children and adults have loved this book. With vivid detail and simple, yet lyrical prose, Black Beauty describes both the cruelty and kindness that an ebony-colored horse experiences through his lifetime — from the open pastures in the English countryside to the cobblestone grit of 19th-century England.
Sewell wanted the reader to see the world from a horse's point of view and so Black Beauty tells his own story in these pages. His wise observations and unvarnished candor reveal much about both human nature and animal suffering. Black Beauty was born at a time when horse power fueled almost everything: wars, agriculture, transportation, construction and factory work. Horses pulled barges. They hauled coal and granite. And they were also seen as a measure of wealth; the way one rode atop a stiffly controlled horse could convey style and stature. All of this meant horses were both exalted and often pushed past the point of exhaustion.
To better understand how Sewell's book became a children's classic and an animal rights manifesto we turned to Pulitzer Prize-winning novelist Jane Smiley, who has written several books about horses herself — her latest is called Pie in the Sky. Smiley also rides and grooms horses and has re-opened the pages of Black Beauty several times in her lifetime. The book, she says, offers different lessons in adulthood than when she first picked it up as a child. But Smiley says the central themes of courage, perseverance and the power of kindness are timeless.
"Black Beauty helped people see animals in a new way," Smiley says. "As soon as you say that an animal has a point of view, then it's very difficult to just go and be cruel to that animal. ... [It showed] readers that the world is full of beings who should not be treated like objects."
Beasts Of Burden
Black Beauty, as his name suggests, was prized for his size and strength. But when misfortune comes, he is sold to a series of different owners. Some handlers are kind and show him love and respect. Others are careless or worse — callous. When Black Beauty is rode hard over dark roads by a drunken groom, he stumbles, looses a shoe and injures his legs. Though still beautiful, he is less valuable and ends up in London, pulling a carriage through teeming, dirty streets — a far cry from the green meadows of his youth.
Through his journeys, Black Beauty encounters several equine friends. There's Peggy, who's often whipped because her legs are short and her gait is slow. Ginger is temperamental, but for good reason: She was beaten as a colt. After being badly injured by a cart on the wrong side of the road, Rory dreams of retirement but is instead sent to haul coal.
"It's almost impossible for us to understand now that we have motorized vehicles all the things that horses did," Smiley says. "Anything that had to be moved — no matter how heavy it was — was moved by a horse. They just performed every function in society ... and society couldn't function without them."
Many of the stories are hardscrabble. The humans who control the horses are often flawed. But the friendships among the horses glow with courage and dedication. And instead of just painting easy villains and heroes, Sewell takes care to explain the conditions that often lead to cruelty — from the vanity of the rich to the financial hardships for cab drivers to the role that alcohol played in unraveling the humans' lives.
An Animal Autobiography
Black Beauty was first published in 1877 and was written in the last years of Sewell's life. Sewell, a Quaker born in Yarmouth, England, followed in the footsteps of her mother, Mary Wright Sewell, who wrote several popular books for children. When it was first published, Black Beauty was not necessarily intended for children. Sewell hoped to send a message to adults who controlled how horses were cared for.
Due to illness, Sewell was unable to walk easily so she depended on horse-drawn carts to move about for most of her life.
"She loved to drive the family pony and she loved to talk to the pony as if the pony could understand her," Smiley says. It's likely that Sewell based Beauty's character on Bess, a spirited black horse owned by the Sewell family. "Everybody in the family was quite fond of her," Smiley says.
Sewell's decision to write the book as an "animal autobiography" was quite novel in Victorian England, and the little green book with the sad-looking horse on the cover was released to great fanfare. Promoters in the U.S. brought a pirated edition of the book to America hoping it would do for animal rights what Uncle Tom's Cabin had done for slavery. Within two years, 1 million copies of Black Beauty were in circulation in the U.S., and animal rights activists regularly passed copies of the book to horse drivers and stable hands.
Black Beauty is widely credited with helping to change the way horses were cared for. There is little doubt that the book helped hasten the abolishment of the "bearing rein" — a strap used to pull a horse's head in toward its chest to force the appearance of a noticeable arch of the neck. (This was a highly desired look in aristocratic society, but it created great pain and difficulty for the horses. The animals could not use their neck and chest muscles to pull weigh properly or to breathe correctly. The unnatural arch weakened the horses and usually led to respiratory problems.) Black Beauty also placed a harsh spotlight on the practice of "docking" or cutting short a horses tail, largely for the sake of appearances — a practice that is still widely debated.
One of the things we love best about Black Beauty is that it is a great book for generations to read together. Parents and even grandparents can revisit a book they loved as children to read along with our book club members. We'd love to hear your thoughts about Black Beauty. (Have you ever considered writing an animal or insect biography to explore the world from another point of view?)
We also want to hear your questions about our next book club pick. For November we will be reading a modern-day best-seller, The Red Pyramid by Rick Riordan, whose other books include the Percy Jackson & The Olympians series. Riordan, a former English and history teacher, uses all he learned in the classroom to educate young readers while entertaining them with rip-roaring adventure. In 2011, Riordan received the Children's Choice Book Award for Author of the Year. We can't wait to put your questions to this author to learn more about how he crafts such successful books.
Happy reading!
From NPR News, this is ALL THINGS CONSIDERED. I'm Audie Cornish.
And I'm Robert Siegel. NPR's Backseat Book Club returns this fall with another reading adventure. As you may recall, this is when we choose a book for 9- to 14-year-olds, and we ask our listeners - young and not quite so young - to read along with us. Our colleague Michele Norris tells us about this month's selection.
MICHELE NORRIS, BYLINE: Now that we're back in the saddle, we've reached back in history to find a book that will delight adults as well as all those kids between the ages of 9 and 14. For this month, we read a classic, "Black Beauty."
NORRIS: Generations of children - and adults - have loved this book, and it's easy to see why. Rarely does a story tug at the heart in quite this way. It's the tale of a majestic, ebony-colored horse whose life stretches from the green pastures of the English countryside, to the teeming streets of London.
NORRIS: And you view that world through the horse's eyes. He's the narrator. And what you see, and hear, in his voice reveals much about both human nature and animal suffering.
UNIDENTIFIED MAN: (Reading) I must stand up in a stable, night and day, except when I'm wanted. And then I must be just as steady and quiet as any old horse who has worked 20 years. Straps here and straps there; a bit in my mouth, and blinkers over my eyes. Now, I am not complaining, for I know it must be so. I only mean to say that for a young horse, full of strength and spirits; who has been used to some large field or plain where he can fling up his head, and toss up his tail, and gallop away at full speed, and then round and back again with a snort to his companions, I say it's hard never to have a bit more liberty to do as you like.
NORRIS: As his name suggests, Black Beauty was prized for his size, and his strength. He spends his youth galloping freely in green meadows. But when misfortune comes, he's sold to a series of owners, and lands in the grime of London.
UNIDENTIFIED MAN: (Reading) The first week of my life as a cab horse, was very trying. I'd never been used to London. And the noise, the hurry; the crowds of horses, carts and carriages that I had to make my way through, made me feel anxious and harassed.
NORRIS: Along the way, he meets a series of horses whose stories are like a soap opera that could be called "Beast of Burden." There's Peggy, who's often whipped; she's just too slow. Ginger is temperamental, but for good reason. Rory is injured in an accident, and sent away to haul coal.
"Black Beauty" was written by Anna Sewell, and first published in England in 1877. To better understand how Sewell's book became both a children's classic and an animal rights manifesto, we turned to Pulitzer Prize-winning novelist Jane Smiley.
JANE SMILEY: She loved to drive the family pony, and she loved to talk to the pony as if the pony could understand her. Probably, "Black Beauty" is based on a horse named Bess, that they had; who was quite beautiful and black, and very spirited and willing. And everybody in the family was quite fond of her.
NORRIS: Jane Smiley has read "Black Beauty" many times. She, herself, rides and grooms horses. She says the way horses were mercilessly overworked - and yet, both prized and underappreciated - is the emotional thread in this book. But to understand why "Black Beauty" had such a strong impact, Smiley says, you have to remember how horse power fueled 19th century England.
SMILEY: It's almost impossible for us to understand, I think, now that we have motorized vehicles, all the things that horses did. They went down in coal mines. They carried large amounts of goods, over long distances. I mean, anything that had to be moved, no matter how heavy it was, was moved by a horse. They just performed every function in society. And so they were seen as vehicles and utility animals, and society couldn't function without them.
NORRIS: The little, green book with the sad-looking horse on its cover, was an immediate sensation in England. Promoters brought a pirated edition of the book to America; hoping it would, in part, do for animal rights what "Uncle Tom's Cabin" had done for slavery. Within two years, a million copies of "Black Beauty" were in circulation, in the U.S. Smiley says the book did change perceptions, but she suggests another factor was also at work.
SMILEY: Some things go out of fashion; and there's a correlation, but not necessarily a causation. But the irony of it is that the best thing that ever happened to horses was that they ceased to be the automobiles and trucks of their day. The automobile was invented; and horses became pets, companion animals, leisure animals. And so, in general, they became better treated. They no longer had to do the things that they had had to do, all through the 19th century. So it took about a generation - or a generation and a half - for horses to be supplanted by motorized vehicles. So yes, "Black Beauty" had an effect, but technology had, probably, a bigger effect.
NORRIS: Is it an overstatement to say that the book, in some way, paved the way for animal rights movements, and institutions like the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals?
SMILEY: I don't think it's an overstatement. I think that "Black Beauty" helped people see animals in a new way. As soon as you say that an animal has a point of view, then it's very difficult to just go and be cruel to that animal. The greater analogy, I think, is when - with the rise of the novel, when women started being portrayed, in the novel, as having inner lives and points of view and opinions. Then, the idea of what women were for, in society, began to shift. And that had only happened in the 18th century, with books like "Pamela" and "Clarissa." So to give a woman a point of view, to give a slave a point of view, to give a horse a point of view - all of these things show, to readers, that the world is full of beings who should not be treated like objects.
NORRIS: If you pick up this book, it will probably touch some emotion. It may make you cry. And yet, we give this book to children, time and time again. This is - very much - a children's book.
SMILEY: Children love very clear moral choices; and they love the knowledge that danger will somehow be overcome. That's a feature of children's literature. And Beauty does come to a good end. He finds a place where he's taken care of, and happy. So that's kind of what we expect in a children's book - a happy ending.
NORRIS: And really, don't we all want a happy ending? I'm Michele Norris.
SIEGEL: That was Jane Smiley talking with our own Michele Norris, about Anna Sewell's classic novel, "Black Beauty."
CORNISH: For NPR's next Backseat Book Club, we've picked a modern-day best seller - "The Red Pyramid," by Rick Riordan. You can send questions for the author to firstname.lastname@example.com; or tweet us @NPRBackseat.

Jimmie Johnson, Matt Kenseth and Kevin Harvick vie to vote for legends of the sport
By David Caraviello
HOMESTEAD, Fla. (Nov. 14, 2013) – Beginning next year, there will be a new voter to help select members to the NASCAR Hall of Fame – the reigning champion of the sport's premier series.
NASCAR announced Thursday at Homestead-Miami Speedway that the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series champion will be added to the Hall of Fame selection panel beginning in May of 2014, when proceedings begin to select the members who will be enshrined in the downtown Charlotte, N.C., facility the following year. According to series spokesman Brett Jewkes, NASCAR will become the first sport to have an active competitor on its Hall of Fame voting panel.
That means either Jimmie Johnson, Matt Kenseth or Kevin Harvick will be added to the panel for next season. Johnson enters Sunday's finale needing only to finish 23rd to secure his sixth title at the sport's top level. Kenseth (28 points behind ) and Harvick (34 behind) are the only other two drivers still mathematically eligible for the championship.
"It's a huge honor and pressure in a different way that none of us have experienced before," Johnson said about being a prospective Hall of Fame voter. "Quickly thinking about it, I think it will help engrain the current champion into the past and understand more about the history of the sport, the people that came before us. I think it's a cool opportunity for whoever the champion is."
Jewkes said further "significant chances" to the Hall of Fame selection and eligibility processes will be announced next month during Champions Week in Las Vegas. At present, a 21-member nominating panel compromised of NASCAR Hall of Fame officials, NASCAR executives and track operators chooses the list of 25 people nominated for election. That group joins a 34-member voting panel, which includes several media members and former competitors, as well as one fan vote for 55 voters.
Beginning next year, the Sprint Cup champion will be added to that group.
"I think it's a cool idea," Kenseth said. "I think anytime anybody asks your opinion, actually listens to it, that's always neat. I think it would be neat to be part of that. I think it probably would also teach us more about the sport. I think we all think we know about it, but I think you'd learn more about it and probably appreciate it more."
At present, former drivers must have competed for 10 years and been inactive for at least three to be eligible for enshrinement. Non-drivers must have worked in the sport for a minimum of 10 years. Harvick believes having an active driver on the voting panel could add a more contemporary view to the process.
"I think as you look at the sport, obviously there's a lot of key participants that have been a part of the sport for a long time," Harvick said. "I think having somebody on that panel that may think a little bit outside of the current known drivers, crew chiefs, team owners, might bring something else to the panel to think about. It's pretty cool."

Chandler has type 1 diabetes. Find out how the condition has affected her life and the lives of those around her.
Watch a video about children with diabetes
Media last reviewed: 25/12/2017
Next review due: 25/12/2020
I was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes in October 2004.
Well, first I thought, "Oh, my God, why me?" But then...
And also I used to be terrified of injections,
so that whole thing just scared me completely.
All of a sudden I had a feeling that I needed to watch her more,
I had to keep her more in my care.
That wasn't going to be realistic
but it had an added scariness of saying,
"Oh, my gosh, I have an adolescent, I have to let go,"
not knowing if she really knew how to handle herself
in an unpredictable situation.
Firstly I was quite self-conscious.
"I don't want to be taking injections in front of everyone."
"This is really embarrassing."
"Everyone's going to think I'm shooting up in the middle of the lunch room."
In many ways she handled it a lot better than I did
because as a parent I think you just want
to do whatever you can for your children and you want to be able to fix it.
And that just wasn't something I was going to be able to do.
If I didn't medicate that would be a very, very bad thing
and not a wise idea.
Basically my blood sugars would go really, really high
and I would start to feel dizzy.
If I then continued to not take insulin,
I would get ill, probably throw up and then eventually die.
It was very scary.
It was probably one of the few things in my life that have shaken me to my core.
In addition to understanding the disease
and then the questions, "What does it mean longer-term?"
And you couldn't fix it,
you couldn't take your treatments and in two or three years it would be over.
When you have Type 1 diabetes
you have to consider and calculate the carbohydrates in your meals.
If I was to have a piece of toast,
I'd be like, "That's 20 grams of carbohydrates."
I have one unit of insulin for every time I eat 20 grams of carbohydrates.
That's kind of a foreign idea.
I hadn't ever considered food as something to be calculated.
Sometimes school lunch can be a bit difficult
because you don't really know what's in the strange sauces
or things that we don't really know what they actually are.
It was about working with it, and I could help Chandler,
but at the end of the day it was something she was going to have to own
and she was going to have to be motivated
to do the blood sugar testing
and really controlling and experimenting
to see how foods work with her body.
And she just took that challenge on so admirably.
I was sort of more in pieces
and she was sort of moving forward to the next page.
At the beginning it is a bit tricky and you do make mistakes.
You have to expect that, I suppose.
But in the long run you kind of get into a pattern
and it becomes habit and everything just becomes second nature.
With her love of sport, her big question was,
"Will they still allow me to compete in sports competitions?"
That blew me away because I wasn't even thinking about sports,
but "What are we talking about?"
It definitely affects my sports.
I have to check my blood sugars a lot more frequently when I'm playing sport
because the difficulty is the sports that I do,
I do quite competitive sprinting,
and that's difficult because adrenaline in sport
brings your blood sugars up quite rapidly.
The key to it is monitoring everything.
She wanted to keep going with something that she loved
and she just didn't want diabetes to get into the way.
I think that's what really got her on track after her diagnosis.
A few months after I was diagnosed I moved on to the insulin pump,
which I can show you.
It's here and it's connected there.
This was a really good change for me.
It definitely gives a lot more flexibility.
It's kind of like a bigger injection, but once every three days,
and it pumps in the insulin throughout the day.
You still have to calculate the carbohydrates in your food and whatnot
and how much you'll put in.
It's a lot finer measurements.
It goes up in 0.1 of a unit, so you can have slightly tighter control.
Sometimes I get little red spots,
so when I'm going to the beach or something
sometimes I walk around like this.
I don't really like to wear bikinis or whatever.
But I think I've also got over that.
At the beginning that was a bit of a nightmare.
I think if you approach diabetes Type 1 with a positive attitude
and more of a "I can do this. How will I do it?"
instead of a "This is a nightmare. Why did I get this?"
it definitely just becomes a part of who you are.
I think it's almost given her a new sense of power,
like "I can do things. I can overcome challenges."
"This is my first one, there may be others ahead."
So I think in some ways it's actually made her a stronger person,
more confident, and not let anything hold her back,
and as a mother I'm really proud of her too.
Just kind of integrate it into your life
because everyone can control it, you just have to put in the effort.
And it's really worth it in the end because when it is controlled,
you feel like you're just like everyone else.

Really like Paul Freidlund's work. I had been looking for that particular print for a room we were redoing but could not locate it again in time....I did not write down title or artist (photographer). I went through so many sources but could not locate the print. After having ordered another framed photograph, I did find it though it was too late. I already had another framed print. When I saw it was available for a phone case, I decided to purchase it. It's awesome; I really like it. Can distinguish my phone so much more quickly too. Too many black phone cases. Again, Freidlund does fantastic work.

Atmospheric Sciences & Global Change
Research Highlights
July 2005
Calculations for Rising Global Temperature Vary Significantly Based on Greenhouse Gas Emission Models
Critics of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change's Special Report (published in 2000) on Emission Scenarios claim that the use of market exchange rates (MER) rather than purchasing power parity (PPP) to measure the Gross Domestic Product—the primary indicator of economic activity used in the analysis of national economies—has led to a signifi cant upward bias in projections of greenhouse gas emissions, and hence unrealistically high future temperature forecasts and economic impacts.
Pacific Northwest National Laboratory's Jae Edmonds, an international expert in climate change, joined with Alan Manne, Professor Emeritus at Stanford University, and Richard Richels, Director of Global Climate Change research at EPRI, to explore the degree to which the use of PPP rather than MER could affect global mean surface temperature estimates in the absence of policies to limit emissions of greenhouse gases.
Employing an integrated assessment model designed to examine a variety of issues in the climate debate they found that under some conditions using labor productivity growth assumptions based on PPP lead to lower global mean surface temperatures than when MER was used. Differences between a PPP-based and a MERbased scenario were explored using two alternative reference cases. In both instances differences between a PPP-based and MER-based scenario were larger at the end of the 21st Century than earlier, and depended on several factors, such as the reference scenario level of labor productivity. The authors concluded that using the wrong variable could systematically bias results under certain conditions, but that the scale of the potential error was smaller than uncertainties associated with core determinants of potential future climate change such as, for example, the base rate of growth in labor productivity and the climate sensitivity.
This work was begun in late 2003 and completed in the summer of 2004.
Shifting from MER to PPP reduced global mean surface temperature in the year 2100 from 5.0 to 5.6 percent despite the fact that corresponding reductions in 2100 annual emissions ranged from seven to 15 percent. The smaller effect on temperature refl ects inertia in the global atmosphere-climate system stemming from such factors as the cumulative nature of carbon emissions, ocean thermal lag, and the logarithmic relationship between CO2 concentrations and radiative forcing.
While signifi cant, changes in climate resulting from a shift from MER to PPP were smaller than changes associated with alternative reference economic growth assumptions. Changes in global CO2 emissions and concentrations, and global mean surface temperature that resulted from alternative economic growth assumptions were respectively 35 percent, 15 percent, and 10 percent in 2100.
The authors showed that under some circumstances using PPP could yield significantly different results than using MER. Thus, care should be taken when choosing measures of economic activity, particularly when scenarios are defined in terms of some arbitrary end state of economic welfare. Another key observation was that other factors, such as the reference scenario rate of economic growth, particularly in developing nations, future energy technologies, and climate sensitivity, remain larger sources of overall uncertainty in determining long-term climate change.
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change is a body of climate change experts that regularly conduct and publish assessments on the main areas of concern for influencing climate change. Edmonds has served as the lead author on several of theses assessments. The findings by Edmonds, Manne and Richels have been accepted for publication in Climatic Change.
About Jae Edmonds
Dr. Jae Edmonds heads an international global change research program with active collaborations in more than a dozen institutions and countries around the world, and he is the principal investigator for the Global Energy Technology Strategy Program, an international public-private collaboration addressing climate change. His research is focused on the integrated assessment of climate change and the examination of interactions between energy, technology, policy and the environment. He has served as the lead author for all three major assessments of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, frequently delivers testimony before Congress, frequently briefs members of the Executive Branch, such as the Department of Energy, is widely published, and has authored Global Energy Assessing the Future, and A Primer on Greenhouse Gases.

Paladin Took II
The thirty-first Thain of the Shire was Ferumbras Took III, who was unmarried and left no heir. As such, the line of descent from the Old Took's third son Isumbras IV came to an end, and the descent moved on to the line of his fourth son, Hildigrim. So the Thainship fell on Hildigrim's grandson Paladin, who became Thain Paladin II.
At some point, it seems that Hildigrim or one of his descendants had moved a little away from the ancestral home of the Tooks at Great Smials. Paladin was a farmer who worked the lands around Whitwell - a village which, though it appears on no map, is known to have been close to Tuckborough in the western Green Hills.
When Lotho Sackville-Baggins attempted his takeover of the Shire, Paladin came into his own. As the legitimate Thain, he refused to accept Lotho's authority, and when Lotho's ruffians were found in the Tookland, they were hunted and shot. So the Tookland remained independent while Lotho and later Sharkey took over the running of the rest of the Shire. A hundred of Paladin's archers marched to the Battle of Bywater and helped to defeat Sharkey's Men, but Paladin himself does not seem to have been at the battle.
Paladin was married to Eglantine Banks, and together they had four children. The eldest three were daughters, Pearl, Pimpernel and Pervinca, but the youngest was a son. This was the famous Peregrin Took, who travelled with the Fellowship of the Ring, and would inherit Paladin's title to become Thain Peregrin I.

If your flyer isn't printing on one page, you probably need to play around with your
Page Headers, Page Footers and Page Margins.
By default, most browsers will add the date, page number and URL to any page printed from the Internet. You probably don't want text at the top and bottom of the page when printing your Flyers. Luckily it's a pretty easy thing to fix, just pick your browser and follow the instructions below.
Since all browsers and printers act slightly differently, these tips may not work for you, but these examples should give you an idea of what you need to do.
Internet Explorer 7
They've moved everything around for this release. By default there's a small image of a printer, click that and go to "Page Setup...". Below is a screenshot showing the button you're looking for. From there it's the same steps as for IE6 (the instructions are in the next section below).
Internet Explorer 6
Go to "File", "Page Setup...", then erase the text in the "Headers and Footers text boxes.
Click the "OK" button and you're done.
From the menu in the top left corner of your browser, choose "File", then "Page setup..". Go to the second tab called "Margins & Header / Footer", in the drop down lists choose "Blank" for all the items you don't want printed. The screenshot below gives a better view of what I mean.
If you want, you can also adjust the print margins here as well, Firefox's default margins are set at 0.5 inches. Once you have your setting chosen, click "OK", and you're done!
If you'd like a faster way to get to the print preview feature from within Firefox, the Print / Print Preview extensions is very handy. It adds a submenu to your context menu (the menu that pops up when you right click on a webpage) with "Print", "Print Preview" and "Page Setup". Much faster if you change margins, headers etc. often.
Pretty much the same as for Firefox. Go to "File" (top left corner of your browser), then choose "Print Options...". Now uncheck the "Print headers and footers" checkbox, click OK.

Covert Operations: Investigating the Known Unknowns, curated by Claire C. Carter, recently opened at Scottsdale Museum of Contemporary Art (SMoCA), occupying the museum's four exhibition spaces with intense focus. Encompassing digital media works, large scale photography and interactive installations, the exhibition questions what we know and what we think we know.
SMoCA writes: "Covert Operations: Investigating the Known Unknowns is the first major survey of a generation of artists working in the violent and uncertain decade following the 9/11 terrorist attacks to collect and reveal previously unreported or under-reported information. This group of international artists includes Ahmed Basiony, Thomas Demand, Hasan Elahi, Harun Farocki, Jenny Holzer, Trevor Paglen and Taryn Simon. They use legal procedures as well as traditional research methods and resources such as the Freedom of Information Act, government archives, field research and insider connections. The thirty-seven artworks included in Covert Operations employ the tools of democracy to bear witness to attacks on liberty and to embrace democratic ideals, open government and civil rights.

(CNN) -- For travelers who believe the journey is just as important as the destination, these five lodges offer unique adventures in getting there -- and getting away from it all.
Modern transportation and technology aren't part of the experience, so you'll need either good hiking shoes, snow skis, a horse or a mule to visit these remote getaways.
The Len Foote Hike Inn
If you enjoy the great outdoors, but prefer a bed over camping, then the Len Foote Hike Inn in north-central Georgia may be for you.
The lodge is nestled inside Amicalola Falls State Park near the southern terminus of the Appalachian Trail and can only be accessed by hiking trails.
Visitors check in at the state park visitor's center, then hike five miles along a scenic path to the inn.
The lodge insists you leave pets, cell phones, beepers and radios at home, so you're really forced to cut yourself off from the rest of the world.
The rooms are rustic without any modern conveniences such as a television or telephone.
"The Hike Inn forces you to relax and slow down and enjoy yourself," said frequent visitor Jason Hicks of Tucker, Georgia.
Your day can be lazily spent sitting on a porch that overlooks the scenic Blue Ridge Mountains or unwinding in the Sunrise Room with a book from its library.
Meals are served family style in the dining room and cookies, tea and other treats are provided between meals.
The inn boasts environmentally friendly touches, like composting toilet systems and solar panels that are used to help produce 15% of the lodge's electricity.
Rates are $70 per adult for double occupancy and $97 per adult for single occupancy. Discounts are available for children younger than 12.
To make reservations, call 800-581-8032, between 10 a.m. and 5 p.m. ET Monday through Friday.
Phantom Ranch
Enjoy one of the seven natural wonders of the world and its breathtaking views during your stay at the Phantom Ranch, located at the bottom of the Grand Canyon.
The only lodge below the canyon rim, this popular retreat is on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places. The ranch was completed in 1922 and was a challenge to build since nearly all the building materials had to be hauled down to the canyon floor by mules.
Advance overnight reservations are required, and visitors should book early. Reservations are accepted up to 13 months before your visit.
The ranch can only be reached by foot, mule ride or rafting to it via the Colorado River.
Accommodations include basic cabins and male and female dormitory spaces. Meals at the Phantom Ranch Canteen are offered to overnight guests and travelers passing through during the day. These meals must be reserved in advance.
Reservations can't be made online, but requests to stay at the ranch can be made via its reservation request form. Rates for overnight stays at the ranch start at $42.02 per person.
Charit Creek Lodge
A "peaceful" place where you can "really get away from it all" is how many visitors describe Charit Creek Lodge.
The lodge is only accessible by foot, bike or horseback along several well-maintained trails inside the Big South Fork National River and Recreation Area in north-central Tennessee. Two major trails, ranging from less than a mile to about two miles, lead to the lodge.
A popular equestrian retreat, the lodge's barn can accommodate up to 35 horses overnight. Charit Creek Lodge also specializes in cowboy campfire-style dinners and fresh home-style breakfasts.
You'll be forced to ditch technology at this rustic lodge, as it has no electricity and is illuminated by kerosene lanterns.
"One of the best features is how the sky illuminates at night and you can really see the stars glow -- it's a truly peaceful experience," said Larry McMillan, the general manager of the Charit Creek.
The lodge offers two types of overnight accommodations -- bunk bed style rooms or two small private cabins.
Rates range from $22 to $72 a person, per night, depending on whether you want meals and bed linens included with your stay. Call 931-879-2776 for reservations.
LeConte Lodge
Book early at LeConte Lodge. Guests often have to reserve a room at this popular Tennessee getaway up to a year in advance.
The lodge, nestled 6,500 feet atop Mount LeConte, offers breathtaking views of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Stunning sunrises and sunsets bookend the days and sometimes visitors will spot black bears roaming nearby.
"LeConte is very rustic and creates an atmosphere of simpler times," says frequent visitor Tom Collins of Duluth, Georgia.
LeConte bills itself as the perfect getaway from a high-tech world, so don't expect modern conveniences at this inn. It's very primitive with a wash basin and bucket for sponge baths, no electricity, no television, kerosene lanterns for light, and propane heaters for warmth. There is one up-to-date luxury: flush toilets.
The only way to reach LeConte is on foot along one of five trails that lead to the inn. The shortest trail is five miles and the longest is eight.
Supplies are brought in via helicopter and llama pack trains since it's so remote. LeConte can accommodate 60 guests a night in either small personal log cabins or three multiroom lodges.
The staff prepares family-style meals (think meat and potatoes) served in the lodge's dining room with your choice of coffee, hot chocolate and water. Wine is provided for an additional cost.
Rates are $127.31 for one adult or $254.62 for two. This includes tax, evening meal, breakfast and bedding. For reservations, call 865-429-5704.
Backcountry huts at Mount Ranier
A fabulous mountain view awaits you during your stay inside a hut in Washington's backcountry.
Be sure to bundle up, because you'll have to ski or snowshoe to reach this overnight accommodation, supported by the nonprofit organization Mount Tahoma Trails Association.
"Since there is no cell service, television or internet, you are certain to have a relaxing weekend of skiing and exploring," said Noah Tratt of Seattle. He's a frequent visitor to the hut system.
Visitors have three huts from which choose: Copper Creek Hut, The Yurt and The High Hut.
Copper Creek Hut sleeps up to 14 people and can be reached along an easy trail. It has views of Mount Rainier, Saw Tooth Ridge and the Nisqually Valley.
A partially ungroomed trail leads visitors to the second sleeping spot, The Yurt. It's the most remote accommodation and sleeps up to six people.
Finally, The High Hut, which is the highest at 4,760 feet above sea level, offers a stunning view of Mount Rainier and views of Mount St. Helens, the Cascade Range, the Olympics and part of Mount Adams. This cozy hut sleeps up to eight people and can be reached via a groomed or ungroomed trail, depending on your preference.
All three huts have modern conveniences such as heat and electricity, a kitchen and utensils for meal preparation.
The price for a hut rental is $15 a person. An overnight permit is required to spend the night in the huts. Go to http://www.skimtta.com for more information.

UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. -- Francis K. Achampong, currently the chancellor at Penn State Fayette, The Eberly Campus, has been named the next chancellor of Penn State Mont Alto, effective Aug. 1, 2013. Achampong succeeds David Gnage, who announced last fall that he would retire at the end of the 2012-13 academic year following more than 10 years in the position.
Achampong has served as chancellor at Fayette since November 2010 after being appointed interim chancellor in March of the same year following the unexpected death of former chancellor Emmanuel Osagie. From 2002-10, he was director of academic affairs at Mont Alto, where he also held the rank of tenured professor of business law.
"It has been an honor to serve Penn State Fayette," Achampong said. "It is a difficult decision to leave this campus and the wonderful students, faculty, staff and local community. We have accomplished many great things here. But I am excited to return to Penn State Mont Alto, where I spent eight years working with so many others to strengthen the campus' academic profile. Dr. Gnage has set Mont Alto on a great course, and I look forward to leading the campus community through new opportunities and challenges. This is truly a joyous homecoming."
An interim chancellor for Penn State Fayette will be announced in the near future.
During Achampong's time at Fayette, the campus made significant progress towards its $3.5 million goal in For the Future: The Campaign for Penn State Students, with $3 million raised to date.
To tackle enrollment challenges facing western Pennsylvania campuses, Fayette adopted a strategic approach under his leadership by focusing and increasing recruitment efforts, enhancing its web presences, strengthening student support services and partnering with database vendors.
Fayette increased its profile as a community resource under Achampong's direction, hosting numerous large events drawing thousands of visitors to campus and the region. The campus also served as a forum for discussion of pressing societal issues such as crime and child abuse.
In his previous role at Mont Alto, Achampong was the Franklin County campus' chief academic officer, overseeing programming, including program planning, development, assessment and accreditation, faculty recruitment, mentoring, evaluation, promotion and tenure and other wide-ranging areas of academic responsibilities.
"Dr. Achampong is an outstanding leader with broad knowledge of the University and the Commonwealth Campuses," said Madlyn Hanes, vice president for Commonwealth Campuses. "His experience in higher education and strategic planning has been critical in guiding Penn State Fayette during the past several years. He is successful at building external relationships and has been well received by the broader community. His proven leadership and deep familiarity with Penn State Mont Alto make him an excellent choice to oversee the campus and lead it into the future."
Before his position at Mont Alto, Achampong served as interim dean of the School of Business at Norfolk State University from 2001-02. For three years from 1998 to 2001, he was head of the Department of Entrepreneurship, Finance and Marketing at Norfolk State and from 1992 to 2002 was professor of business law and insurance at that institution. Before 1992, he was an associate professor at Norfolk State for seven years.
Achampong holds a doctorate in law from the University of London and a master of laws degree from Georgetown University.
He was admitted to the New York Bar in 1986 and the Virginia Bar in 1988, and was admitted to practice before the U.S. Supreme Court in 1990. He completed Harvard Graduate School of Education's program in Management and Leadership in Education in 2008 and was selected as an American Council on Education (ACE) Fellow in 2008-09.
At Fayette he has been actively involved in the local community as a member of the Westmoreland-Fayette Workforce Investment Board, the Fay-Penn Economic Development Council Board and the Fayette County Chamber of Commerce Board. He serves on multiple University-wide committees, including the Campus Academic Review Coordinating Committee, University Budget Planning Task Force, Middle States Steering Committee, Standing Joint Committee on Tenure and the University Access Committee.
One of his final duties as Fayette chancellor will be to host the Penn State Board of Trustees' meeting July 11-12.

Hi all
I want to put red highlights in my 1B. I found a milkway hair that was 1B/30 and LOVE, LOVE< LOVE The color! It gave me just enough highlights to let my skin tone look more natural instead of 'Elvira' white with the Ib. :-)

I lready asked Sherri about sewing in some strips of her handtied bohyme she sells in 30 but I think all hers is sliky straight and mine is body wave....
Anyone have any experience with putting red highlights in dark extension hair?

So anyways, back onto today's topic. Now that spring has finally arrived, I was digging through my spring/summer wardrobe I have here in Chicago and realised that I had a serious lack in casual tees. Especially those that didn't have "Abercrombie" emblazoned all over it. Now here is one of those times when I ask myself- WHAT was I thinking?
Why, from the whole A&F store, did I not choose something more discreet and versatile like this tank and this henley?
Or even better some pretty tops that don't say Abercrombie at all, but are just casual and cute. If only I can get my money back on those tees and get these instead.
I really can do with more simple but pretty tops this spring/summer, like these two from Express. I was looking for a top to go with my summer skirts this weekend, and these two with their neutral colors and simple but girly designs would've been perfect!
A pretty laced tank with contrasting colors, such as this one (left) from American Eagle would be great too- oh wait, I already have something very similar from Coco and Mimi last year and I wear it all the time. LOL. Or you can go just go with a simple plain tank, like this one from J Crew (right). To make it fun, try layering tanks of fun, bright, summery, neon colors with more neutral colored tanks.
With everything going loose these days, a simple loosely fitted tee, like this one (left) from American Eagle may be all you need. For a bit more style and fit, try this empire waist tee with flirty sleeves from Forever 21(right).
More loosely fitted bubbly tees from FCUK (left) and Urban Outfitters (right). I am LOVING the look of the FCUK one. Oh and these simple scooped neck tees would be the perfect complement to wear those funky loud necklaces HG was talking about the other day.
And just to conclude, we have these classic graphic tees, which I am absolutely LOVING from J Crew. They are cute with graphics on them in such a way that are not overly loud or obscene. You can wear by itself or with a fun jacket/skirt and not have to worry about patterns clashing and such.
I definitely need to go shopping this weekend to check all these out for real!

L'Institut National pour la Recherche Agronomique (The French National Institute of Agronomic Research, INRA) started research on co-existence in 1989, focusing on out-crossing of rapeseed. Since then, INRA has worked on GMO detection and cultivation models. Today, INRA conducts the several projects related to co-existence or GMO detection.
Research concerning the detection of GM traces in the blood of cow fed with GM organism.
GeneSys-Colza: "a model for the medium-term and long-term effects of cultivation systems on the flows of genes between colza fields and new growth in a given agricultural area : GM food : expertise and public decision"
The project GeneSys-colza investigates cross-pollination of rapeseed. This research spurred a new research project on sugar beet.
Mapod-maïs focuses on cross-pollination in maize. The project involves producers.
Since 2002, AGPM, the French maize growers association, conducts the research programme POECB, in which scientific data is collected during the cultivation of GM maize. This information is evaluated by a co-operation of several French research institutes in order to facilitate co-existence.

Cooking Thanksgiving with Naked Tia Kai
Watch me cook a quick and delicious Thanksgiving meal. I start off with the turkey legs. Didn't have a chance to brine them so I rubbed them down with lots of salt, pepper, and stuffed with onions. Baked in the oven until nice and juicy. Prepped the potatoes to make mouth watering mashed potatoes. My secret, cream cheese and sour cream! Potatoes all mashed and creamy. Added some quick sides, buttered corn and canned gravy. Perfect Thanksgiving meal for 1 or 2! Join me in this cooking video and maybe learn a thing or too. Bonus, see me naked too! Happy Thanksgiving!
I am the prettiest Asian Goddess! Worship my sexy body in this beautiful video. Lots of close up shots of all my lovely body parts. Video shot by the infamous Jonni Darkko! I will be your only Blonde Asian Goddess. Gaze upon my gorgeous body as you pop a boner in your pants. I want to see how rock hard your cock can get while watching this video. I love teasing a good worshiper.

Two Materials Engineering Students Receive Awards, Feb. 10, 2000
SOCORRO, N.M., February 9, 2000 -- Nathan J. Berg, a senior majoring in materials engineering at New Mexico Tech, and Melissa Valerie Collins, a Tech graduate student pursuing a master's degree in materials engineering, recently were awarded the New Mexico Section of the American Ceramic Society's (ACerS) top undergraduate and graduate student awards.
Before coming to Tech, Berg was home-schooled in his hometown of Veguita, in north-central Socorro County. He is the son of Bill and Orla Berg of Veguita.
Collins, a graduate of A. J. Dimond High School in Anchorage, Alaska, is the daughter of Pamela Sortore and Michael Wade Collins of Anchorage.
A scholarship certificate and monetary award of $500 was presented to Berg and a research award of $500 was presented to Collins by Terry Mitchell of Los Alamos National Laboratory, the national vice president of ACerS, at a recent meeting of the New Mexico Section of ACerS.
In addition to his regular classwork at New Mexico Tech, Berg currently is working on his senior design project--a characterization of highly loaded barium titanate and hydroxyapatite slurries for direct fabrication processes.
Berg's senior thesis research topic has direct applications to piezoelectric biomedical implants which could be used to promote bone growth through electrical stimuli.
Collins currently is investigating combustion synthesis and the effects that varying processing parameters have on the physical properties--namely, surface area and pore size--of alpha-alumina, a research project which is sponsored by Sandia National Laboratories.
"I'm also doing research for Westinghouse in Carlsbad, New Mexico, concerning the materials for the large surface and small subsurface marker systems, radar reflectors, and magnets for the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant (WIPP) site, which is also located near Carlsbad," Collins says. "In addition, I will soon be making specialty phosphors by combustion synthesis at the request of a former employee of Oak Ridge National Laboratory."
Berg, the president of the New Mexico Tech chapter of the Alpha Sigma Mu materials science honor society, also is a recent recipient of the Paige Ashman Memorial Prize, an award given to Tech students who have demonstrated excellence in the field of materials and metallurgical engineering.
As a student intern, Berg has worked with the Advanced Materials Laboratory at Sandia National Laboratories, conducting research on the dispersion and suspension of poly (methyl-methacrylate) spheres.
Berg has also been involved with other ongoing research projects which deal with the direct fabrication of alumina and mullite ceramics.
"New Mexico Tech is the best educational bargain in the country," Berg says. "It has an excellent faculty-to-student ratio, and the instructors are very approachable and open to students from different departments."
Collins is a member of ACerS, ASM/TMS International Materials Society, and the New Mexico Tech chapter of the Society for Women Engineers.
"New Mexico Tech offers a great materials engineering education at an affordable price," she says.
