NEW YORK, NY–(Marketwire – Nov 15, 2012) – RotoExperts, the leader in Fantasy Sports content, announced today the launch of its philanthropic program — "Fantasy Cares." The initiative is designed to leverage the growing popularity of Fantasy Sports in an effort to bring attention to and raise money for desirable philanthropic causes.
Partnering with Snoball, based in Austin, TX, RotoExperts will host Fantasy Sports games whereby the public can participate in the fun, challenge and competition of Fantasy Sports gaming while having their point totals translate into philanthropic donations for select non-profit organizations. The better one plays, the more the donation. Top players will receive unique prizes such as autographed merchandise from current / former celebrity athletes, game tickets, and on-air appearances while at the same time providing much needed funds for worthwhile causes.
"The combination of RotoExperts' reach along with Snoball's unique technology has created an entirely new, fun and creative way for people to give," said Louis M. Maione, CEO of RotoExperts. "There isn't a more gratifying thing I can possibly do as CEO of RotoExperts than to harness the power and popularity of Fantasy Sports and direct it towards philanthropy."
"By empowering fans to make donations based upon the stats of their favorite players and teams, the Snoball platform stands alone in its field. We are excited to partner with RotoExperts, the authority in Fantasy Sports," said Snoball Co-Founder and CEO John Ludlow. "Sports is an ideal space for Snoball's technology. In our partnership with RotoExperts, we can harness the popularity of Fantasy Sports to write a whole new chapter on the power and potential of charitable giving."
RotoExperts will be rolling out its first charitable Fantasy Football game in Week 11 of the NFL season with the first participating game being Thursday, Nov. 15th between the Dolphins and Bills. The company is proud to announce that charitable donations created from participants playing the game for the remainder of the 2012-2013 NFL season will be provided to the Gridiron Greats Assistance Fund, a 501c3 that provides medical, dental and financial assistance to retired NFL players in dire need.
Participants can donate to this worthwhile cause through the enjoyment of playing Fantasy Football while having the chance to win exciting prizes at http://rotoexperts.com/fantasycares/.
"We are thrilled to be part of the 'Fantasy Cares' launch and the chosen charitable beneficiary of this inaugural campaign," said Shannon Jordan, President of Gridiron Greats Assistance Fund."We are always looking for innovative ways to expand our audience and RotoExperts' 'Fantasy Cares' program brings a unique element of fun that NFL fans across the country can enjoy and feel great about giving back. Combining the popularity of Fantasy Football and giving back to the pioneers of the game is a perfect match."

THEO is a conceptual brand of fashionable women's clothing consistent from the beginning of its creation and very first collection.
The concept is that, as part of the brand, THEO develops three main areas:
#ironic - feminine ironically plus bright colors;
#straight - concise, based on the male silhouette images with elements of deconstruction;
#eccentric - intriguing and bold images for the evening.
The launch of THEO as a Ukrainian based women's wear fashion brand in 2014 was just inevitable.
Because of brilliant Theo Dekan, a popular Ukrainian stylist and showman, a person of extreme artistic potential he has been successfully applying for more than 17 years in everything he ever touches. Starting his career as a barber he became a creative partner of L'oréal Professionnel and Kérastase and invented his own method of hair coloring, introduced in 15 countries. Theo participated in numerous reality shows as a TV host and headliner expert.
Constantly working as a stylist, musician, artist, photographer, being a trend-maker and a columnist for "Forbes", "VOGUE", "Marie Claire" etc., Theo now intrigues and provokes with his high quality contemporary fashion.
Having just performed as a designer in winter 2014 and launched the brand with his business partner THEO CEO Oksana Denis, he appeared in "NOWFASHION" and on VOGUE RUNWAY with his summer collection. Mercedes-Benz Kyiv fashion days F/W 16-17 (Ukraine's biannual international fashion week) campaign started with an extraordinary THEO white flower-like wrap dress on Alina Baikova, a famous model and the face of the new season.
Theo knows exactly what he wants and what to propose, so he participates in every stage of creation of every item produced by brand – from gorgeous patterned silk dresses to various accessories. Today wearing THEO mixed together with famous French couture brands has become a sign of distinguished elegancy among celebrities and many items are being sold directly from our showroom in Kyiv even before they are seen on runways.

Murders, mayhem and miracles stole local headlines in 2013.
Murders, mayhem and miracles stole local headlines in 2013. Henderson County's worst homicide case in recent years shocked the community, and a man was found guilty of murder in a rare retrial in May.
The community mourned the loss of a teen who drowned in Lake Lure in June and cheered the continued recovery of a mother and infant whose survival of a head-on collision last December was called miraculous.
In September, a local rape case became the topic of a two-part "Dr. Phil" show, and two educators were convicted in a pornography case that shocked a seasoned judge.
In December, the district attorney chose not to press charges against a local grandmother after her grandson died of heat stroke in the back of her van.
And, in October, a failed golf course developer was convicted of fraud, officers cracked a lucrative meth ring, and the government went on a hiatus that threatened folks in need of social services and halted tourists.
Here are the year's Top 10 stories as ranked by Times-News staff members:
A tragic triple homicide and suicide rocked Henderson County in May when a troubled Ralph "Robert" Warren III opened fire on his estranged wife and her parents outside of their Piney Ridge Drive home.
Warren's wife, 30-year-old Carrie Tracy Warren, and her parents, Theresa Russell Tracy, 49, and Richard Allen Tracy, 51, fell in a firestorm of bullets. Warren fled the scene as his 9-year-old daughter, who had witnessed the shooting, called 911.
Warren's daughter pleaded with 911 dispatchers for help, giving them a description of her father.
The violence set off a nearly three-hour manhunt. Police closed roads and asked neighbors, who nervously peered out of windows, to stay indoors. A passing motorist spotted Warren walking with his semi-automatic rifle in a field off of Howard Gap Road.
With daylight dwindling, officers scoured the area, eventually pulling out their big artillery — a veritable tank — to approach Warren entrenched in a muddy field. Warren was found dead of a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head.
The case of four teens accused of raping a classmate at an alcohol-fueled party continues to grind slowly through the judicial system. More insight into what might have happened during that party last December was revealed in a two-part "Dr. Phil" show in September.
James "Matt" Bishop, 17, Joseph Vincent Curto, 18, Tyler Scott Garren, 17, and Justin Wesley Ponder, 18, who were all minors at the time of the party, were charged as adults with felony second-degree rape. The victim, who was 16 at the time, told investigators that three of the young men raped her while she was in and out of consciousness on a couch at Garren's home during a party on Dec. 8, 2012.
All four of the accused admitted to having sex with her, but they said it was consensual, according to search warrants.
Prosecutors with the office of State Attorney General Roy Cooper took over the case in August. The next administrative court date has not been set.
In an effort to stress her son's innocence, Dianne Bishop reached out to the "Dr. Phil" show. Matt Bishop, flanked by his parents, appeared in a two-part series that featured the case, Bishop's story and what the victim recalled of the night.
Bishop said that the girl initiated sex with him and then asked for more, so he recruited her next partner. The girl told "Dr. Phil" McGraw that she woke up to Bishop getting off of her, while the other guys stood around her in their underwear.
Seven Falls developer Keith Vinson was convicted in October of 13 fraud and conspiracy charges related to the failed golf course community near Etowah. A sentencing hearing has yet to be scheduled. Vinson faces 24 to 26 years based on sentencing guidelines, said Lead Prosecutor Don Gast.
Vinson, who was out of jail awaiting trial, was taken into custody after a bond hearing determined that he could be a flight risk.
Vinson still faces sentencing on a slew of state charges, including terminating his employees' health insurance and obtaining property by false pretenses, in Henderson County Jan. 13.
This year, Henderson County received the proceeds of a performance bond on the Seven Falls property, and $366,000 from those funds have been used to stabilize the site after years of erosion and sediment runoff.
In a case of child pornography that shocked a seasoned judge, two former educators were sentenced to prison after their affair led to the sexual exploitation of a minor entrusted to their care.
Chadwick Hamby, 42, former principal of a charter school in Hendersonville, was sentenced to four years and three months in prison for receiving child pornography. Deborah Lee Tipton, 45, of Burt, was sentenced to 18 years in prison for transmitting and possessing child pornography.
Hamby was given a "substantial reduction" in his sentence for assisting law enforcement and testifying against Tipton, a former special education teacher who sent him two sexually explicit videos of an 11-year-old girl after the couple's seven-year affair had started to fizzle.
Heather Stepp and her infant son, Ely, were seriously injured last December when a man accused of driving under the influence hit their vehicle head-on.
A nearby resident rushed to the scene of the accident and realized that baby Ely was not breathing. She tried CPR. It didn't work. She said she prayed over him and he started to breathe.
The road to recovery for mother and child has been full of peaks and valleys as they have faced repeated medical battles and issues with insurance. Ely has been diagnosed with cerebral palsy.
On Oct. 30, the man who hit them, Paul Jeffrey Satterfield, 58, was convicted of driving while intoxicated and reckless driving. He was ordered to serve three years of probation.
District Attorney Greg Newman said he would not seek an indictment against a Pisgah Forest woman whose 4-year-old grandson was found dead after being left in the back of her van in May.
Shirley Strickland called 911 after she found her grandson, Lance Duncan, unresponsive on May 15. Under mounting financial pressures, police say Strickland, who was helping to raise her four grandchildren and had suffered medical problems related to stress, returned to work that day after taking her grandchildren to school.
Lance had fallen asleep in his seat and was found several hours later when Strickland prepared to pick up her grandchildren from school. Investigators determined his cause of death to be heat stroke.
An investigation by Transylvania County Sheriff David Mahoney revealed that Strickland left her Pisgah Forest home at about 7:15 a.m. to take her four grandchildren to school and day care. She dropped one child off at Rosman High and another child at Rosman Elementary. Lance had fallen asleep in the back of the van, according to Newman. Strickland usually dropped him off at a day care, but she was distracted and forgot, traveling on to work at Smith Systems at 8 a.m.
Tre Carter, a North Henderson High football star who was loved by many, drowned while swimming with friends between the train trestle and a dam at Lake Summit in June.
His body was pulled from the lake June 19, ending a three-day recovery mission plagued with challenges. Divers came from all over to aid in the search of the deep, freezing, blackened water that was riddled with debris.
Carter's funeral was held in front of a packed house at Mud Creek Baptist Church.
On June 29, a crowd of more than 50 supporters gathered in prayer at Jackson Park and walked in his memory and in the memory of four other swimmers who have lost their lives to drownings in recent years.
A Henderson County jury returned to the courtroom in May with a one-word verdict in a rare retrial that would relieve one family and rock another. "Guilty."
Jermaine Deprie Glover, 40, of Hendersonville was found guilty of second-degree murder in the 2009 slaying of his former girlfriend and roommate, 21-year-old Misty Lynn Carter. The jury deliberated six hours before returning with a unanimous decision in Glover's second trial, after the first panel of jurors found themselves "hopelessly deadlocked" in March.
Glover is appealing his conviction.
Law enforcement officers arrested 29 individuals indicted this year as a result of a large-scale methamphetamine distribution and conspiracy investigation.
The investigations began in June 2012 and to date have resulted in the seizure of more than $42,000 in cash, four weapons, two automobiles, 32 grams of cocaine, 2,603.3 grams (5.74 pounds) of methamphetamine and 84 grams of marijuana. The drugs seized have a street value in excess of $265,000, authorities said.
The arrests, along with true bills of indictment issued by a Henderson County Grand Jury on Sept. 30, targeted several high-level distributors of methamphetamine in the Henderson County area.
The next court date for suspects is Feb. 24 in Henderson County Superior Court.
It was supposed to be such a bad idea that Congressional leaders would avoid it at all costs. The sequester, pundits said, would never happen — and then it happened.
With a new budget year approaching, House Republicans, including 11th District Rep. Mark Meadows, demanded a delay or defunding of "Obamacare" before they would agree to continue government funding past Sept. 30. A 16-day partial government shutdown followed, and the effects hit home.
The shutdown shuttered national parks, put a roadblock up on the Blue Ridge Parkway during leaf-watching season, threatened to put 551 local children out of day care centers, jeopardized DSS programs and halted WIC food vouchers for a young mother needing medically prescribed formula for her baby.

Shabbat at the JCCA Biennial
April 4, 2014
Every week, Jody Hirsh, the JCC's Judaic Education Director, provides a Judaic message that is featured at the top of the JCC's weekly email newsletter. Below is the Shabbat message for Friday, April 4, 2014.
Shabbat at the JCCA Biennial
Last Shabbat was part of the Association of Jewish Community Centers of North America (JCCA) conference in San Diego. There was a new feature of the conference… Shabbat! Usually, this biennial conference starts on a Sunday, but this year, it started on Friday! Kabbalat Shabbat services and Sabbath morning services were an important part of what went on at the conference. This year there was a large military presence on Shabbat and throughout the rest of the conference. The JCCA is the outgrowth of what used to be called the "Jewish Welfare Board," and, in 1917, the Jewish Welfare Board was formed to be a resource and support for Jewish chaplains in the military. On Shabbat was the premier of the new Jewish prayer book for Jews in the military. Rear Admiral Rabbi Harold Robinson, who was awarded the Jewish Military Leadership Award at the conference, and explained what a critical role the chaplains serve in supporting Jewish soldiers, far away from home, often in harm's way, and in Jewishly lonely postings.
At the final conference event, which was held on the USS Midway, there was a special ceremony – the dedication of a new Torah scroll created especially for the chaplains. It was a tiny portable Torah – 11 inches tall – designed to be packed away for observation of Jewish ritual and study in combat and in the remote locations where Jewish soldiers might find themselves. The dedication ceremony was complete with a military band and color guard (not a standard ritual in the synagogue), as well as the tradition Jewish dedication of Torah scroll in which the scroll is brought into the synagogue with a chuppah. This Torah will be read in far away and close by places ranging from a home base in San Diego, and as far away as in the combat zones of Iraq. The work that our Jewish military does is amazing, and it was a powerful thing that they were present at our conference.

Always follow manufacturer recommendations on water testing, installation, and maintenance to ensure a long life for your tankless heater. The bottom line is that electric-tankless water heaters do not make sense in most whole-house applications. However, in applications where small models can be installed at a point of use, doing so may be a reasonable option.
A relatively new type of water heater includes features of both storage and tankless models. These gas-fired models have small buffer tanks that eliminate the cold-water sandwich problem and deliver hot water even at very low flow. (Note that "hybrid" is also often used to describe heat-pump water heaters, which are quite different.) There are at least three manufacturers of hybrid water heaters: Grand Hall, which produces the Eternal Hybrid water heater; A.O. Smith, which produces the NEXT Hybrid water heater; and Navien, with its CR-240A. Hybrids use condensing technology to achieve very high efficiencies (greater than 90%) and high flow rates that should satisfy almost any residential situation.
Drawbacks include high cost and standby heat loss—which is the most common reason to choose a tankless model in the first place. These units have small tanks with little or no insulation. In a recent study of tankless water heaters in Minnesota, the Navien hybrid model performed abysmally, which was attributed to the uninsulated buffer tank.
Indirect water heaters generally operate as one zone of a boiler system that is used for space heating. They have an insulated tank and a heat exchanger to transfer heat from the boiler into the stored water. Because combustion does not occur at the storage tank, the tank can be better insulated than a conventional gas- or oil-fired storage water heater.
An indirect water heater is usually preferable to a tankless coil (a common feature in gas- and oil-fired boilers) because heat from the boiler is not called for every time hot water is drawn. A tankless coil installed in a boiler functions much as a tankless water heater, with the boiler having to fire every time hot water is needed. The difference is that the boiler has a lot more mass than a tankless water heater, so there is significantly more energy used to heat it up and it takes longer to cool down. Tankless coils in boilers can make sense during the winter in cold climates, when the boiler is hot much of the time, but they are not usually recommended for year-round use.
Coupled with a high-efficiency boiler, indirect water heating is often one of the most cost-effective water heating options. There are some inherent efficiency losses from the heat exchanger, and electricity is required for pumping, but this can still be a very efficient system. It can also be adapted to SHW preheating.
A step beyond indirect water heaters are integrated space- and water-heating appliances. Several approaches can be taken with these "combo" systems. There are a number of high-efficiency boilers with integrated storage tanks—quite different from the tankless coil systems that can be added to standard boilers, but some such products have disappeared.
While there is a lot of appeal to a space-saving system that serves multiple functions, combined systems are more complex. If one component fails, you may lose both heat and hot water until it is fixed.

I am exhausted. The holidays were a whirlwind. First there was Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, and the New Year. I knew life would be a lot more work when I had children but I never factored in the holidays.
For Halloween we had to schedule the babies costumes, the trick or treat schedule, and pictures of course. My baby, Caesar is not even one year old. I can't imagine how much work it will in the upcoming years.
Thanksgiving was even more hectic. I wanted it to be extra special so I cooked the traditional meal from scratch. I found it much harder to do with a little one. It was so much fun watching Caesar in his Thanksgiving outfit trying stuffing and making a mess out of the cranberry sauce.
Before Thanksgiving was even over the holiday shopping started. This year instead of Black Friday, shopping begun on Thanksgiving evening. I headed out to the store to get Caesar a motorized car for his birthday in February. That was the only thing I purchased. I waited in the store for about two hours for the sale to begin. Luckily since I was only purchasing the one item, it only took me five minutes to check out. There were tons of people there getting Christmas presents. I wondered if everyone else was tired as I was. I didn't go to bed until 3 a.m. on Thursday, cooked all day, cleaned, and went shopping. It was a busy day.
Preparing for Christmas was equally as hard. Baby proofing a Christmas tree is pretty much impossible I decided. We put up the tree but didn't let the baby anywhere near it unless we were holding him.
We decided not to do any shopping for the baby since he would not remember his first Christmas. We bought an ornament representing the holiday for him and that was it. However shopping for both sets of his grandparents was a big task. Usually, we can get away with perfume or a hat for Christmas presents. Not this year. This year everything was special. I made shadow boxes for each grandmother. Each one included a pair of the babies shoes and pictures. It took a very long time cutting the pictures and decorating everything. I got my dad a tie that was printed with a picture of the baby since his birthday is also in December. It was very special and unique.
As the New Year rang in, I was amazed at how much my life had changed over the past year. How every aspect of my life revolves my baby. It is a lot of work but oh so worth it.
As I start this year with my family I hope to just cherish each moment just like this year. I hope the same for you.

Jan. 31, 2008
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. - MIT saw seven players record at least one block assist in its 30-16, 30-15, 30-23 win over Lasell College in a North East Collegiate Volleyball Association (NECVA) New England Division men's volleyball match on Thursday. The nationally-ranked No. 11 Engineers improved to 5-4 on the year and 4-1 in conference play while the Lasers' ledger lowered to 3-2 overall and 2-1 in NECVA New England action.
The early stages of the opening game were closely played as Lasell posted back-to-back points that evened the score at seven. MIT tallied four straight points to take the lead for good but the Lasers immediately cut their deficit in half (11-9). The Engineers used a 7-2 spurt to increase their margin before each side traded points as a kill by Andy Cass brought Lasell within six (21-15). Keyed by strong serving from Scott Pollom, MIT closed out the game with a 9-1 run.
Although the Lasers notched the first two points of the second frame, the Engineers recorded six out of the next seven to go ahead, 6-3. Lasell narrowed the gap to one on two occasions, the last time being at 7-6. Sparked by a kill from Garrett Winther, MIT mounted a 10-3 run which prompted a timeout by the Lasers. Following the break, Lasell ended its scoring drought and eventually lowered its deficit to seven (19-12). This was as close as it would get as the Engineers recorded their second 10-3 run to wrap up the game.
In the final stanza, MIT established a 5-2 edge which was quickly erased with four straight points by the Lasers. The game would feature four more ties until a block by Kenneth Rosche and Pollom gave the Engineers a lead they would not relinquish. MIT slowly created a six-point cushion (17-11), but Lasell continued to attack and came within five several times, the last occurring at 26-21. A kill by Praveen Pamidimukkala followed by back-to-back blocks set up match point for the Engineers. A service error helped the Lasers extend the contest who then converted on their next serve. The late rally would not continue as a serving miscue sealed the match for MIT.
Michael Demyttenaere was a force to be reckoned with at the net as he tallied 11 block assists to go along with a team-best four aces. Pamidimukkala added five block assists to his team-high 13 kills while Pollom contributed seven kills and three block assists. Winther contributed five block assists and three aces as Rosche tacked on seven kills. Ryan Dean anchored the defense with 11 digs while Eugene Jang posted eight of his own. Matthew Ng collected seven digs as Philip Rogoz dished out 28 assists.
Next up for MIT will be a home NECVA New England Division match against Endicott College on Tuesday, Feb. 5. Lasell will host Elms College in a non-conference meeting on Friday, Feb. 1.

Danica Mullin - Medicine & Healthcare in Nepal
In December 2015, I left my family and friends for two weeks to embark on a life changing adventure in Nepal. I had stumbled across Projects Abroad through a Facebook advertisement, and after reading about the High School Medicine Project in Nepal, I was convinced it was perfect for me. I have a keen interest in both volunteering and the medical profession, and though I was pretty sure that I wanted to study medicine after school, I was excited for the opportunity to learn more about my intended career path.
After looking through all the countries available, I decided to apply for the Nepal program. I was curious to compare what I knew about the healthcare in Australia to what was available in such a different culture. I had also heard a lot about the beautiful country and the kind people, and I was not disappointed. Once I was accepted into the program I gained access to the My Projects Abroad website, where I found guides to obtaining a visa, information about my chosen country and my travel itinerary. This helped me feel prepared for the trip ahead and made sure I didn't forget any important details such as immunisations or what to pack.
Arrival to Kathmandu
I was fortunate to travel from Melbourne with two other volunteers, so we got to know each other really well on the flight. On arrival, we were greeted by a Projects Abroad staff member who drove us to our hotel in Kathmandu. We stayed in Kathmandu for two days at the beginning of the trip, and two days at the end, where we got the opportunity to do some shopping and get to know the other volunteers. The hotel staff was fun and friendly and all spoke English very well.
Medical Placements in Chitwan
From Kathmandu we travelled five hours by bus to Chitwan, a small district in the southwestern area, where all of our hospital visits took place. The thirteen of us were broken into small groups of three or four and we visited a different hospital every day. We were able to watch consultations, operations and read patient files. One of my favourite placements was the teaching hospital, where we watched a birth in the morning, visited some children in paediatrics and then saw some x-rays in the afternoon. We also visited a cancer hospital, health post, eye hospital and family planning clinic while in Chitwan. In each of the hospitals, there was a variety of wards to visit, so if a procedure was ever too intense we had the option to see something else. The doctors and nurses at the hospitals were all happy to explain what was going on and were very friendly. We also had some lectures on particular health concerns in Nepal, and an anatomy class with actual body parts!
The best times were when we got to interact with the local people on the outreach placements. In Chitwan, we went out to a school one day and taught some children how to brush their teeth. They were all super friendly and eager to meet and play with us. We even got the opportunity to practice speaking Nepali. We also visited a centre for children with HIV/Aids in Kathmandu. It was amazing how healthy the children had become, having arrived at the clinic malnourished and agitated. The work that was being undertaken at the clinic was really moving, and was very special to see.
Social Activities
I am still in touch with the twelve other volunteers in my group and we are now lifelong friends. Amidst visits to hospitals and lessons we had fun-filled bus rides, late night card games and amazing memories were made. Making such great friends completed the experience, and we all encouraged each other to get the best out of every moment. One night we went to a cultural dinner where we ate and watched traditional Nepalese dancing. Towards the end, we were invited on stage to join in, something I would have never done by myself, but we all agreed to go up and had one of the best nights, even though I'm a terrible dancer. Most of us were from Australia but we also had volunteers from England and New Zealand, so it was awesome to learn a bit about where they come from.
The hotel which we stayed at for 10 days in Chitwan was gorgeous. We were provided with food there which was delicious, and there was always variety. There were often weddings hosted in the gardens and we were welcome to watch and even join in with some of the festivities afterwards. I stayed in a room with two other girls which also had a bathroom with a shower, however there were times when the hot water didn't work and we'd have to have a cold shower or use a bucket. This was an interesting experience, which made us all the more grateful for when we did have hot water. We were provided with free Wi-Fi, so getting in touch with home was no problem.
Though we spent a lot of time in hospitals and learning about the health status in Nepal, there was also plenty of time to learn about the culture. We had a lesson where we learnt how to speak a little Nepali, which made introducing ourselves and shopping a lot easier. We spent the middle weekend of our stay in the National Park, where we went on a safari and saw rhinoceroses, monkeys, crocodiles and elephants.
Our Projects Abroad supervisor who stayed with us for the whole two weeks was like a mum away from home. She organised activities such as getting henna tattoos and having dance lessons at our request, and was always making sure we were happy and comfortable. Our safety was her number one priority, and there was never a time we couldn't tell her about even the smallest of problems.
Final Words
If you're considering a career in the medical field, I would highly recommend the Nepal High School Medicine project. It not only increased my motivation but was informative and exciting. But be prepared for a completely different experience than anything you could ever imagine. At times you might have to go without a hot shower, and you may get a bit sick of rice, but you'll never be without a friendly face. We saw and experienced so many things that aren't possible at home. I'm so glad I made the decision to apply for the program, and hope many others get the same fantastic opportunity.

- Week 45. High School. Describe your middle and/or high school. Was it a large or small student body? Is the school still in existence today? How has it changed since you went there?
The building itself was first constructed in 1917. It has since been added on to, and remodeled and such, so that now it's two buildings connected by two overhead walkways and a long extension. Each building is three stories, with the walkways at second floor level. Needless to say, students here get plenty of exercise going from class to class across the walkways and up and down the stairs. Each floor of each wing is mostly separated into subject matter, for the most part.
As I've implied, the school is still in existence, and my kids are going there. For that reason, I've had recent opportunity to revisit the building to see the changes. Mostly it's the same as I remember it, with a few changes including the conversion of a space for the Alumni Association, a Snack Shack for students to purchase snacks and beverages. Many students now drive to school, and it had become such a problem for the surrounding neighborhood dealing with an excess of student parking that special permits were created and sold to be able to park on the city streets nearby, so homeowners would have some chance at parking spots. Reducing student parking on nearby streets also cut down on vandalism and other petty crimes students were committing.
As for Junior High, I attended South Jr. High. It is also still in existence, and one of my kids attends there presently. It really hasn't changed much either, except one room remodeled for a computer lab, and the Upper Media Center removed for office space. As with the high school, I've had recent opportunity to visit this building again. The school seems smaller than when I attended, no doubt because I have grown taller since I went there. It's a fair-sized one story, with a second floor above parts of the building. Science is all upstairs, and Social Studies and some Math classes. At the other end of the building, the Band, Orchestra and Choir rooms are all on the upper floor. In between is the Gymnasium, which is two stories plus high. This building is a twin of North Junior High on the north side of town.

In our little re-enactment of the sex contest between Empress Messalina and the prostitute Scylla–now that's in such good taste–here's how the numbers, ahem, stacked up:
Thel (Scylla): 255 men (60%)The winner gets this commemorative loving cup–ha, real cute–and a gift certificate for a complete gynecological examination.
Cathy (Messalina): 169 men (40%)
Thel couldn't give us a statement because she had to run home and dye Easter eggs with the kids. Run? I'm surprised she can walk.
All Cathy could say was "WAAAAAAAAH." So what else is new?
Now, if you'll excuse me, the little patient wants cinnamon toast and I gotta go buy some Febreze. Trust me, you don't want to see what 424 lust-crazed men can do to an oriental rug.

Billie & Me is inspired by the great sensation of getting dressed-up and ready to go. "I always wanted to pursue the next level of my business by bringing my aesthetics into a full pret - a - porter collection" says Benedicthe Bjerke of her new line Billie & Me. "The name felt fresh and alluring, and reflecting the light - at - heart spirit that we wanted to invoke, something that we felt had been missing in the contemporary market" says partner and co - founder Irene Møller.
Bjerke and Møller, found a common ground in feeling inspired to create an alternative to both traditional basics and fast - fading trends. Together they set out to create a line that could fill the gap, by bringing back the simple fun of dressing up and feeling at ease about it. The upcoming fall collection was inspired by the meeting between oplulent party staples with a distinct and modern flair, combined with reworked wardrobe classics. Equal parts feminine and cool, the line is built around the idea of dressed - up clothes for special moments. Though it contains a few casual items, most of the looks — in delicate prints, lace and velvet – call for a sense of occasion.

Motegi Racing Super Drift Challenge Details:
- 2nd year of one-off nighttime 16-car invitational during Long Beach Grand Prix weekend
- Motegi Racing put up $25K in prize purse
- Field included ex-FD competitors Kado and Yoshioka and backup cars from Aasbo and Mohan
- Multi-series champ Saito won, Moen picked up 2nd runner-up in 8 days, and Wang finished 3rd
If you call Southern California your stomping grounds but somehow missed Round 1 of the Formula D Championship on Turns 9, 10 and 11 of the Long Beach Grand Prix street circuit, for the last nine years there's been something of a second chance opportunity during the following weekend. Historically, it's reserved for open-wheel race cars and touring/sports cars, but since about 2005 or so the grand prix has also hosted drifting, namely in demo form.
In 2013 that changed. The exhibition was moved to Sunday of the three-day shindig, while Friday and Saturday were earmarked for the Motegi Racing Super Drift Challenge, a 16-car invitational that sees the wheel seller put up $25,000 in prize purse. Additionally the cars run at night under lights, adding a new twist to sliding on the city streets of DT LB.
The 2014 edition of the event was a banger, complete with packed house courtesy of the GP. As the competition got underway, there wasn't a free inch of space on any of the bleachers lining the three-turn course.
An impressive field took to the tarmac, led in qualifying on Friday by Forrest Wang, driver of the 2JZ-motivated Get Nuts Lab S14. FD, FD Asia and D1 GP champ Daigo Saito took the second seed in his Achilles SC430, while Round 1 podium finishers Kenneth Moen in the Achilles 240SX and Michael Essa in his 2013 championship-winning E46 qualified fourth and sixth, respectively.
Formula D 2014 challengers Odi Bakchis in the Feals Suspension S14, Dean Kearney in the Oracle Lighting Viper, Jeff Jones in the CX Racing 240SX, Kuniaki Takahashi in the APEX SC430 and Charles Ng in the CX Racing G Coupe also made qualifying passes in their primary rides, while drivers Fredric Aasbo and Kyle Mohan pressed into service their backup cars - Aasbo his Japan Auto Supra and Mohan his Energy X FC RX-7.
Robbie Nishida in the Achilles SC300, Brandon Wicknick in the Drift Motion S13 and Dennis Mertzanis in the ARK Performance Genesis Coupe earned goose eggs in qualifying for a variety of reasons, relegating them to the bottom of the order. Finally, the grid also included two past Formula D competitors not running this season - Toshiki Yoshioka, who was behind the wheel of the Retaks S14 once piloted by Ryan Tuerck, and Ryan Kado, in the DNA Motoring S14 for Motegi Racing Super Drift Challenge. Yoshioka-san qualified eighth and Kado tenth.
Friday qualifying gave way to Saturday tandem eliminations, kicked off by Wang eliminating Mertzanis' 1,000-horsepower blown V8 Hyundai. From our vantage point, it looked like Jones put in more thrilling passes up against Yoshioka, but it was the J driver to advance. Aasbo in the Toyota he calls "Chucky" knocked off Ng, while Moen out-drove Mohan.
The other half of the opening bracket saw Bakchis dispatch Nishida and Essa do the same to Takahashi. Saito was too much for Wicknick, and the Top 16 closed with Kearney overwhelming Kado.
In the round of eight, Wang continued his winning ways against Yoshioka, and for the second Saturday in a row Norwegian countrymen Aasbo and Moen faced off, where again "Fast Kenny" took the victory. Saito made quick work of Kearney's long-wheelbase Dodge supercar, while in arguably the hardest-fought pair of the night, Essa and Bakchis drove to a One-More-Time (OMT) tiebreaker. The crowd seemed to think Bakchis aced the battle, but the judges gave it to Essa.
Wang and Moen's dueling S14 smoked out the place in the semifinals, but it was Moen who proved too strong. Saito and Essa did the same, with the J pilot earning the triumph to make up for a lackluster Round 1 in the 2014 Formula D Championship. For qualifying higher than Essa, Wang secured his place on the podium (remember, no more "consolation" rounds in FD anymore).
The Motegi Racing Super Drift Challenge finale was an all Achilles Tire affair, teammates Saito and Moen lining up to rub fenders. Both were in top form, but it was Saito who looked more like his championship self, gapping his opponent in the lead and leaving no room between cars as he chased. We never envy the judges when there's such a tough call to make, but to them it seemed pretty cut and dried, as they awarded the triumph to Saito without asking for a OMT.
"Last weekend at Round 1 of Formula Drift was no good for me, but this week with a few modifications on the vehicle I was able to get the win," Saito commented after his success. "I am happy with the win and look to continue the momentum into the next round."
Not the next round of Motegi Racing Super Drift Challenge (which is only a one-off deal, and a pretty cool one at that; we hope it stays on the LB GP schedule moving forward) but the next round of the Formula D series proper. That's set for May 9 and 10 at Road Atlanta, the site of the first of the first Formula D event ever some 11 years ago.

Bellflower, Calif.-based Travelon Industries offered the $2,795 modification, utilizing a cutaway VW sedan chassis; the only acknowledgement of a higher (2,400-pound) wet weight was the need for more supportive tires and better shocks. Retaining the stock Volkswagen Beetle front trunk, the 13½-foot Li'l Bugger concealed a 2-burner propane stove, 10-gallon freshwater tank and, once a few panels were pulled out and the cockpit seats swiveled rearward, twin 75 x 52-inch beds. Highway mileage was reportedly 20-plus mpg.

As the Eagles continue to search for their next defensive coordinator, reaction to Sean McDermott's firing continues to trickle in.
McDermott's already landed a new job in Carolina and turned down an offer to become defensive coordinator of the Broncos, according to the Daily News' Les Bowen.
But for whatever reason (here's a look at the numbers), McDermott didn't work out here.
And one former player says he's not surprised.
Jeremiah Trotter, who played 13 games (starting seven) in 2009 for McDermott, doesn't think McDermott was ready for the job.
"I may be the only guy in the city that wasn't surprised," Trotter said during an interview with Derrick Gunn of Comcast Sportsnet. "The writing was on the wall, and especially a lot of things that happened last year during the course of the year and then going into this year, Sean digressed as a coordinator. The defense went backwards. It was worse in the red zone. And we had a better year last year on defense. So any time you see a young coach that in my opinion really wasn't quite ready to step into that defensive coordinator role just yet, and have two bad seasons, sometimes you just gotta cut your losses."
I mentioned this in a weekend post, but in case you miseed it, Trotter also said on WIP that he spoke to an Eagles defensive player this year who called McDermott the worst defensive coordinator he had ever played for.
Trotter was asked during the CSN interview if he thought McDermott tried too hard to put his own stamp on the defensive system that Johnson ran.
"Oh yeah, without a doubt," he said. "Any time you got a legend like Jim Johnson... I said before that if Jim Johnson had gotten fired because he didn't get the job done, then you come in and change things up. But Jim Johnson's a legend around here. I think he's a Hall of Famer. And when you do something that works for 10 years and you were really great at it, you want to try to duplicate those things when you come in as a young coordinator. You don't come in and try to put your own stamp on things. Hey, if it ain't broke, don't fix it."
To be fair, Johnson was McDermott's mentor. He talked constantly about what he learned from Johnson and how he was trying to use those things. McDermott's job was to carry out Johnson's system, but to also add his own wrinkles.
Those wrinkles obviously did not always work, and now McDermott will get a chance to try again with the Panthers.

Fido and Spot for Beginners, Newbies and Noobs.
Subject description: I fail to get how they relate. Firefox, Seamonkey and so on.
Fido exists now in Wary 5.1.1 56 by Barry and also in Snow pup 17 by Pemasu.
Now this morning testing how Fido works for first time in snow pup.
At boot I come directly into Fido as expected but Firefox does not start up when I click on Browser and not on Firefox either and not if I enter it in Roxterminal either.
So for to be able to give this report I went into terminal and entered
su password and then firefox and it started up.
So for a newbie I guess one need some instructions on how to get things going.
Okay I guess Barry want us in the community to take care about Fido.
At first shutdown, you are asked whether you want to create the save file as administrator (root) or fido (non-root).
I have got it basically working, but there are rough edges and if anyone wants to take this on-board, knock fido into shape, please go for it. You will need to understand how to configure /etc/sudoers, which is quite a challenge.
There are also some scripts that could be modified just a bit to work without requiring switching to root.
I have setup the infrastructure in Woof, device nodes and sound in particular,
to make it easier to implement a web browser (etc) running as spot.
If 01micko or kirk, or anyone else, would like to work on this, please go for it.
Imade bold the text that maybe apply to what did happen to me using Snow pup 17 now today.
So most likely I need to start Firefox from Spot while Fido is something I fail to get what it is.
How is Fido and Spot related? So I should start Firefox from Spot when I am in Fido?
How does one do that?
So now I will boot up wary and see how that works. It has Seamonkey by Barry's choice instead of Firefox.
edit. Wary behave differently from Snow pup 17 in relation to browser.
Wary does start the Browser instantly I don't have to go to terminal and go into su and give password but at boot on the Pinboard it it did pop up a box saying that boot manager wanted my root password which I gave. I should have tested if seamonkey was related to that one.
Another thing that will be interesting to compare them is at reboot.
I went to reboot Snow pup 17 and it said it needed the root password for to reboot. So now I reboot wary and see if that one also ask for root password to reboot. and then I test seamonkey again. I rebooted and Wary reboot without asking for root password
But it does ask for password if I want to look at my HDD which is owned by root then and Fido most likely own Spot??? Yes that is what I can look into without password and in terminal asking whoami
# whoami
it says fido and show the hash instead of the USD dollar sign.
Snowpup don't ask for password. I log out now and check what whoami says in snow pup 17. Here I am in Snow pup and do the terminal thing
sh-4.1$ whoami
sh-4.1$ firefox
Could not create gnome accelerators directory `/root/.gnome2/accels': Permission denied
sh-4.1$ su
sh-4.1# firefox
So to start up firefox I need to be root. That kind of makes it difficult for the newbie that feel the need to be a non priv user and not a superuser using firefox. Most likely then one need to do su and install firefox also in spot.
How does one do that?
Barry warn on his blog that one should not ask him about Fido.

fido is partly broken
Oh, I should add, please don't post any bug reports on fido. I know it is partly broken. The purpose of fido in this release is for anyone who wants to fix it.
If you are not in that "I can fix it" category, you can still try fido if you wish, but don't expect everything to work, and don't post here or the forum about what does and does not work. Thanks.
So I will not ask him or Pemasu either but here in Beginners I hope it is okay to ask general questions neither related to Wary nor to Snow pup particularily but how one use Spot when one is in Fido. Okay?

I think this Fido entry on Barry's blog is vital to read first.
Right from Puppy's inception, we have been criticized for running as root. I have finally decided to offer a choice.

i'm looking to see how fido turns out too...
I have mostly used Puppy, and never done any serious work on a proper multi user distro, except to use the GUIs to change setting and so on..
But I hope someone with a strong background in multi-user distros can help make fido bug-free, reliable, secure, and simple.

Thanks Scottman. So in which puppy OS has you tested it so far?
Wary and Snow seems to behave differently but none of their Devs want to go into Fido problems so maybe this thread here can be a summit or focus for those that feel for testing and to figure out how to change things until it works.

Snowpup allow me to save from Fido using Firefox into mnt/home
But after that I seems to only reach mnt/home if I start up root and use mount into that mnt/home on the HDD.
Wary don't allow Fido to use mnt/home but saves in Spot? I am not sure. This is way above my capacity to figure out things But I have checked in terminal that I am Fido when testing.
Important. in the comments to Barry's blog he explain that he doesn't want standard feedback on bugs unless one are prepared to contribute suggestions on how one can fix the bug. Which several seems to ahve missed and them just report bugs without saying how to fix them.
Like me they are bad at reading texts
So read there suggestions or post suggestions on how to fix Fido but not just reports unless you know how to fix what you report.
That is why I started this thread so we have a place to report even if we fail to fix it.
one thing they suggested was to do changes in a file on permissions so we should try out that thing ASAP. Any takers?

There is a thread for to fix fido
Fixing Fido..
That one don't fill the need for people as noob as what I am.
okay maybe none else is as noob as I am but if you feel for it
then please do contribute to my thread which is not to fix fido at all
but to make oneself more familiar with using it daily.
The purpose is to learn and share together about
Fido and Spot for Beginners, Newbies and Noobs.
I am in fido now using Slacko puppy Beta II and I barely get things going.
So many new things to learn.
How to I get access to the internal hdd?
I need to answer the Admin password.
But even to find the hdd was difficult. I finally did it
ut don't remember how. Most likely I used pmount.

Kind of odd that everybody get upset over that Puppy is root from scratch and then when Barry make Fido that is so odd to them that them not even care to be happy and test it to help us know if it works for them?

As a follow up to my post about The Kale Situation, I'm finally following up with the promised "Escarole Situation." Late last fall, I decided to plant some escarole. I'd never had it, but I'd heard about it, and I never saw it at the farmers market so I could try it. So, I planted a whole row of it, from seed. Well, all these months later, I was having starting to have a serious Escarole Situation: about 10 HUGE, robust, abundant plants and me having absolutely no idea what to do with them. You can see my confusion!
Finally, I got a tip to just sauteed escarole with garlic, like any other green. So, I made up some of this delicious Roasted Seitan with Cipollini Onions and Balsamic Glaze (from Fresh Food Fast)...
... and served it up with a side of sauteed escarole. I thought it was okay to eat, but Mr. Vegan Eats & Treats took one bite and said "Yuck!" So, because I don't like to waste, I made myself eat his serving too - a solution I wasn't particularly eager to repeat. So, I gave away huge bags of the stuff to my friends who came to my Persian New Year party. That was a clever solution! But there was still a lot left over.
Finally, I got a tip that there was an escarole recipe in Veganomicon. It's funny because I looked through SO many of my international/Italian/mediterranean books looking for escarole recipes, when there was one in good ol' "Vcon" the whole time. So, I made up her dish, which is called something like "White Beans with Escarole," and - LO! - we both enjoyed it. Mr. VE&T did say "This tastes very healthy," with a slightly derogatory tone, but nonetheless he liked it enough to eat it. So I've got one more huge bag of escarole in the fridge and I think I'll whip this one up again. But, next fall, there probably won't be escarole growing in my garden!
I've been really grooving on my kitchen time lately... and we had a week wherein I made a whole bunch of delicious soups. First there was the "Split Pea and Roasted Parsnips" soup from "Vegan World Fusion." This soup was really, really good. I don't use parsnips much, but they were a great addition to this soup.
Next up was the Cilantro-Asparagus Soup from the "Real Food Daily Cookbook," which I've made many times before. Love it love it love it. Simple, seasonal and very flavorful. Alongside the soup I made "Pasta alla Verde" (or something like that) from Vegan Italiano. Unfortunately, I just really can't say we liked that one. The pasta was a real dud, and it's pretty hard to make pasta no-fun-to-eat.
I also made a batch of this *delicious* Winter Minestrone with Parsley Pesto from "Modern Vegetarian Kitchen." It was a great soup - and the pesto really made it. Light and hearty all at once, somehow. It's funny to be eating "Winter" soup and also fresh strawberries from our garden all at once. Spring is crazy!
One of my sweet pals broke her leg recently, which isn't very fun. So, in addition to bringing her lots of the aforementioned soups, I also wanted to make sure she had some sweeties to soothe the spirits. She's a real spelt and healthy-foodie gal, so I made the Ginger-Raspberry-Spelt Muffins from Vegan Brunch. YUM. These muffins were so quick and easy and so delicious, and were happily received!
After those muffins had been devoured, I made her another batch - Spelt Pistachio & Dried Cherry Muffins. I sorta based them off the Vegan Brunch recipe, but mixed it up quite a bit. I used some of my leftover homemade pistachio milk, added in a bunch of pistachios, some cardamom, and a big handful of dried cherries. They were SO successful, and I was pretty stoked! I don't switch up recipes too often, and it's exciting for me when my creative endeavors turn out well.
I also had a little stint where I made recipes from Millenium Restaurant cookbooks two nights in a row on weeknights!! I was feeling like quite a fancy pants. First up, the Moroccan Crepes, from "The Millenium Cookbook." Pictured here is the delicious filling - made with a whole bunch of seasonal veggies, chickpeas, and many tasty spices. Beautiful, isn't it?
Then I made up the crepes, which were a cinch, and came out PERFECT. On top there, you see the very, very tasty "Tofu, Mint, & Cilantro Raita" (I made a 1/4 recipe). This recipe was all ready start to finish in under an hour, but really tasted top-notch!
The following night I made two recipes from "The Artful Vegan" - "Israeli Couscous Salad" & "Roasted Vegetables." These were two parts of a 4-part dinner menu, but together they made a lovely, quick and seasonal dinner meal. This Couscous Salad was out-of-this-freaking world! We loved it, and I most definitely look forward to making it again soon.
The Roasted Veggies were nicely spiced and more than just plain-ol-roasted-veg. It was a nice combo to have something fresh and something a little more hearty and savory.
Last, but not least!, I made a batch of Mary's 5-Star Gluten Free Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies for the yoga retreat I co-led this weekend. All the food at the retreat center is crazy delicious and vegan... and they make us amazing desserts at night, but some of us (you know who you are!) also like a little sweetie after lunch! So I made these delicious cookies, which were enjoyed by all! thanks again to Mary for such a flawless recipe!

Mitt Or Obama Or…Mitt? Answers
I'm sure you'll be shocked to learn…they are all Mitt
1- "I like mandates. The mandates work"
2- "Yes"- When asked by Planned Parenthood, "Do you support the substance in the Supreme Court decision, Roe vs. Wade? "
3- "I'm not trying to return to Reagan/Bush"
4- "His [A GOP Candidate's] plan in capital gains, to remove capital gains for people — at the very highest level of income is different than mine. I'd– I'd– eliminate capital gains, interest, and dividends for people in middle income."
5- " I believe the world is getting warmer, and I believe that humans have contributed to that," (June 3rd, 2011)
6- "I will not create jobs or hold jobs that kill people, and that [coal fueled power] plant, that plant kills people,"
7- "In my view, Roe v. Wade was improperly decided."
8- "My view is that we don't know what's causing climate change on this planet," (October 28, 2011, less than 5 months after saying "humans have contributed to" global warming. See number 5 above)
9- We should "keep the good" parts of ObamaCare
10- "We do have tough gun laws.. I support them. I won't chip away at them".
Bonus Questions: Mitt again
1- "I think you'll find I've been as consistent as human beings can be as I look at those issues and as I try to apply those principles to government."
2- "There are a lot of reasons not to elect me"
Finally! Something Mitt and I totally agree on.

Directory Listing
convert to stdbool.h
fix grammar: do not exist -> does not exist
make sure we always let the ldso do the libsandbox search
consolidate all random system includes into headers.h
cleanup whitespace and comments -- no functional changes
no need to mark log_domain volatile as there is no long running function where we have to worry about reloading
use __func__ rather than __FUNCTION__
cleanup style a bit and drop multilib code
drop the externals
update ignores
Split out util functions.
Fix breakage of last commit.
Add EINTR check back to sb_open(), as FreeBSD for one seem to be able to fail with errno set to it.
Move wrappers out of libsandbox.c. Move IO functions to libsbutil.
Start moving libsandbox only related stuff out of libsbutil.
Remove file_length(), and rather use rc_get_size().
Make sure the first realpath() in get_tmp_dir() failing do not set errno and thus trigger DBG_MSG().
As we are using a symbol map for libsandbox, its no longer needed to have all the internal functions static, and thus we can break things out a bit and make the source layout more sane. Start by moving librcutil to libsbutil, and adding all the defines and helper functions needed by both libsandbox and sandbox.
Add forgotten Makefile.am for librcutil.
Enable building of librcutil.
Rename lib to src.
To not install the librcutils stuff, move it to its own directory where we can create our own Makefile to build a library of the functions we want.
