The Dogtra iQ CLiQ combines a clicker training tool with the advanced features of an e-collar. The iQ CliQ- one of the most unique remote training systems available on the market with a built in clicker feature in the remote transmitter and a 100 levels of static stimulation, this miniature sized remote dog trainer is an excellent solution for dog owners with dogs as small as 10 lbs.
2 Year/ Limited Lifetime Warranty
Testing the collar
Even though you get a test light with your e-collar, we always recommend testing the collar on yourself so that you will know what your dog feels. You can do this by setting the stim level to zero, placing the collar around your forearm so that the probes make contact with the inside of your arm (do not test the collar on your neck) and slowly increase the level while tapping on the Nick button. You will quickly find that there is only a harmless pulse that is startling but not painful. Keep in mind that dog skin is much thicker then human skin so your dog will not feel as much as you will and will need higher levels.
Vibration only training
Depending on which model you choose, by consistently using the vibration or tone only button before static correction your dog will quickly learn to avoid the static correction by responding to vibration or tone only.
Collar range
Range is "line-of-site". To get the full manufacturer stated range, you should be able to clearly see your dog across a field or park in clear weather. Tree's, hills, structures and even weather conditions such as snow and rain will cut the range down considerably. To maximize the transmit range you should hold the remote as high as possible above your head.
Always select a collar that has at least double the range of what you think you need. It's better to more range and not need then less range amd need it.
Fitting the collar
When fitting the collar on your dog, be sure it's high and snug on the neck, just below the ears. It should be snug enough so that it doesn't slide around. You should be able to slide two fingers underneath the strap.
Collar strap
With the exception of DT Systems collars, receiver-collar antennas are inside the receiver box and not inside the collar strap. If your dog is fully grown you can cut off any excess strap with scissors. If your dog is still growing don't forget to leave room for this.
Before using the collar, let your dog wear it around for several hour per day for at least 1 week so that he gets used to it. Put it on just before play time or going for a walk so that your dog associates it with fun-time. If you use the collar right away your dog could become "collar wise", meaning that the dog will know when the collar is on and he has to listen to your commands and when it is off and he doesn't have to listen. The point of using an electronic dog training collar is that your dog associates the correction with the behavior and not from you and the collar.
Finding the correct level
After your dog has become accustom to wearing the collar around with his normal collar, take your dog to a quiet place, turn the stimulation level to zero and begin tapping on the button while closely watching your dog. When your dog shows the slightist sign of feeling the stimulation, such as looking at you or scratching at the collar, you have found the correct level. Of course you may need to turn the level higher during high distraction situations.
Manufacturers include owner's manuals with their products but most do NOT provide any type of training material on how to properly use an e-collar to teach basic commands and resolving behavioral issues. Our competitors offer you nothing as well as most are in it only for the money and don't know the first thing about e-collar training. Many won't even be able to tell you how to turn one on.
We've been around since 2003 and train dogs with e-collars every day. We're true-blue dog lovers and it's extremely important to us that these training tools are used safely and responsibly. To make sure that you achieve the desired results that you are looking for in training your dog, we've taken it to the next level and offer you unparalleled support that you won't find when purchasing from a competitor or directly from a manufacturer.

It is important that you purchase from an "Authorized Dealer". Why? Because you will lose your warranty if you don't. Be wary of prices out there that are lower than everyone else's. If it looks too good to be true, then it probably is! All the top manufacturers enforce Minimum Advertised Pricing (MAP), which means if you see the same model on another site at a lower price, they are probably not an authorized dealer and/or a scam site.
K9electronics has been in business since 2003 and is an "Authorized Dealer" for all the brands we carry so you can feel safe and confident when you purchase with us, but don't take our word for it. We recommend that you contact any of our manufacturers directly and ask them about us.

It seems almost everyone these days is selling e-Collars. Over the years, we have seen them pop-up on a myriad of different online stores from sites selling shoes to sites selling popcorn machines! Sure, you can purchase a dog training collar from one of these sites, but that's probably all you're going to get: a training collar.

While many people do their research online,sometimes they feel more comfortable purchasing from a local pet store, but the best quality dog training collars at the lowest prices can only be purchased online. Most of the brick & mortar stores are huge chains that carry low end brands at a high end prices.
The large chain pet stores have a high return rate due to high employee turn-over. Typically, the big chains employ inexperienced workers who may mean well, but often give wrong advice and/or collar recommendations which lead to inappropriate purchases and perpetuate misunderstandings about remote trainers in general.

Ali Farag capped off an undefeated first year in Cambridge with the Ivy League Player and Rookie of the Year honors (Dale Walker)
PRINCETON, N.J. – Ali Farag, a sophomore on the Harvard men's squash team, was honored as the Ivy League's Player of the Year and co-Rookie of the Year, the league announced Friday. Farag was also named to the All-Ivy first team.
The Cairo, Egypt native went undefeated (16-0) in his first season of college squash and helped Harvard to a third place finish at the College Squash Association (CSA) Team Championships. Farag was 6-0 during the Ivy League season, while playing in the No. 1 position for each match.
Farag also won the CSA Individual Championship in Amherst, Mass., March 4 after taking down Ivy League co-Rookie of the Year, Ramit Tandon, in the championship match. Tandon challenged Farag in the first game of the title bout, but Harvard's ace eventually won, 12-10, before taking the next two games, 11-8 and 11-4 to cruise to a 3-0 victory. It was the first meeting between Tandon and Farag, as they did not meet during regular season Ancient Eight play.
Farag is the 15th Ivy League player to earn Player of the Year and Rookie of the Year honors in the same year and just the third men's squash student-athlete to take home both awards.

Pervasive developmental disorder not otherwise specified
A pervasive developmental disorder not otherwise specified (PDD-NOS) is one of the four autism spectrum disorders (ASD)[1] and also one of the five disorders classified as a pervasive developmental disorder (PDD).[2] According to the DSM-IV, PDD-NOS is a diagnosis that is used for "severe and pervasive impairment in the development of reciprocal social interaction or verbal and nonverbal communication skills, or when stereotyped behavior, interests, and activities are present, but the criteria are not met for a specific PDD" or for several other disorders.[3] PDD-NOS is often called atypical autism,[4] because the criteria for autistic disorder are not met, for instance because of late age of onset, atypical symptomatology, or subthreshold symptomatology, or all of these.[3] Even though PDD-NOS is considered milder than typical autism, this is not always true. While some characteristics may be milder, others may be more severe.[5]
|Pervasive developmental disorder not otherwise specified (PDD-NOS)
Signs and symptomsEdit
It is common for individuals with PDD-NOS to have more intact social skills and a lower level of intellectual deficit than individuals with other PDDs.[2] Characteristics of many individuals with PDD-NOS are:
- Communication difficulties (e.g., using and understanding language)
- Difficulty with social behavior
- Difficulty with changes in routines or environments
- Uneven skill development (strengths in some areas and delays in others)
- Unusual play with toys and other objects
- Repetitive body movements or behavior patterns
- Preoccupation with fantasy, such as imaginary friends in childhood
PDD-NOS is an old diagnostic category. It is no longer included as an option for an Autism Spectrum Disorder and is not part of the DSM-5, but is included in the ICD-10.[6]
The diagnosis of a pervasive developmental disorder not otherwise specified is given to individuals with difficulties in the areas of social interaction, communication, and/or stereotypic behavior patterns or interests, but who do not meet the full DSM-IV criteria for autism or another PDD. This does not necessarily mean that PDD-NOS is a milder disability than the other PDDs. It only means that individuals who receive this diagnosis do not meet the diagnostic criteria of the other PDDs, but that there is still a pervasive developmental disorder that affects the individual in the areas of communication, socialization and behavior.[2]
As for the other pervasive developmental disorders, diagnosis of PDD-NOS requires the involvement of a team of specialists. The individual needs to undergo a full diagnostic evaluation, including a thorough medical, social, adaptive, motor skills and communication history.[2] Other parts of an assessment can be behavioral rating scales, direct behavioral observations, psychological assessment, educational assessment, communication assessment, and occupational assessment.[7]
Description of PDD-NOS merely as a "subthreshold" category without a more specific case definition poses methodological problems for research regarding the relatively heterogeneous group of people who receive this diagnosis. However, it appears that children with PDD-NOS show fewer intellectual deficits than autistic children, and that they may come to professional attention at a later age.[8]
Studies suggest that persons with PDD-NOS belong to one of three very different subgroups:[9]
- A high-functioning group (around 25 percent) whose symptoms largely overlap with that of Asperger syndrome, but who differ in terms of having a lag in language development and/or mild cognitive impairment.[9] (The criteria for Asperger syndrome excludes a speech delay or a cognitive impairment.[10])
- A group (around 25 percent) whose symptoms more closely resemble those of autism spectrum disorder, but do not fully meet all its diagnostic signs and symptoms.[9]
- The biggest group (around 50 percent) consists of those who meet all the diagnostic criteria for autism spectrum disorder, but whose stereotypic and repetitive behaviors are noticeably mild.[9]
There is no known "cure" for PDD-NOS, but there are interventions that can have a positive influence. Early and intensive implementation of evidence-based practices and interventions are generally believed to improve outcomes. Most of these are individualised special education strategies rather than medical or pharmaceutical treatment; the best outcomes are achieved when a team approach among supporting individuals is used.
Some of the more common therapies and services include:[2]
- Visual and environmental supports, visual schedules
- Applied behavior analysis (including discrete trial training, pivotal response treatment, and positive behavior support)
- Social stories and comic strip conversations
- Physical and occupational therapy[2]

Universal Music Donates Master Recordings To Library Of Congress... But Keeps The Copyright
from the so-what-good-is-that? deptcharliebrown was the first of a few of you to send in the recent news of how Universal Music had decided to donate over 200,000 master recordings to the Library of Congress:
The American people, through the nation's library, will receive a post-holiday gift of vintage sound recordings from one of the world's largest recording companies. The Library of Congress and the Universal Music Group (UMG) announced today the donation of more than 200,000 historic master recordings--many long out-of-print or never released--to the Library's Recorded Sound Section, which has more than 3 million sound recordings in its collections.All of that sounds nice and surprisingly altruistic from an operation like Universal Music... until you read the fine print. That's because missing from the LoC's excited announcement is the fact that Universal Music retains the copyright on the recordings, and is basically just handing off the physical archival costs to the American taxpayer. It will let the LoC stream the music -- which is better than nothing, but it's not nearly as impressive as actually donating the copyrights as well.
Totaling in excess of 5,000 linear feet, UMG's gift is the largest single donation ever received by the Library's audio-visual division and the first major collection of studio master materials ever obtained by the nation's oldest cultural institution. Among the collection's thousands of metal and lacquer discs and master mono tapes are released and unreleased versions of recordings by such seminal artists as Louis Armstrong, Bing Crosby, Tommy Dorsey, Billie Holiday, the Andrews Sisters, Connee Boswell, Jimmy Dorsey, the Mills Brothers, Guy Lombardo, Ella Fitzgerald, Fred Waring, Judy Garland, and Dinah Washington, among others.

Don't let a crisis of leadership drag down your organization's performance.
"Motivation is everything. You can do the work of two people, but you can't be two people. Instead, you must inspire your people and get them to inspire their people."—Lee Iacocca
The Veteran Affairs Department is the latest federal agency to make headlines for abysmal performance. But Congress' rush to fire VA officials because of fraudulent waiting times at veterans hospitals and the White House's promises of accountability are like a broken record. We heard the same script after the IRS tea party affair, the Health and Human Services Department's HealthCare.gov debacle, the State Department Benghazi massacre, Justice's investigation of journalists, and the Drug Enforcement Agency's Operation Fast and Furious—just to name a few. According to the Partnership for Public Service, just 46 percent of government civilian employees "feel a high level of respect for their leaders." So VA isn't a Shinseki problem, it's a leadership issue at the presidential level and in Congress—arguably the organization least accountable for performance.
Do similar incidents happen in your organization?
Crisis of leadership. You can spot a leadership crisis by listening to those in positions of power. While there is no one-size-fits-all leadership style, the tell-tale sign of dysfunctional leadership is that followers fail to perform ethically and deliver top results. Leadership isn't a speech or lecture—leaders don't talk at people. Leadership isn't about the leader—it's about the results their people produce. Many of today's leaders, often those in politics, are enamored with ideological rhetoric and forget that their job is to solve problems not jump on the bandwagon to chastise workers.
Building people up. Good leaders build people up, not tear them down. At one time or another, most of us have had a boss who made us feel like garbage. He was so immersed in his own thinking that he smothered ours. We had difficulty learning because he kept telling us what to do. While we were motivated to work hard at the start, when our ideas were ignored we had to resist the urge to give up and mentally clock out. On the other hand, effective leaders build people up by melding their individual ideas and skills into a cohesive team.
Leading by example. We learned leadership by watching those who lead us. Usually the lessons were constructive and we copied traits that we admired. Other bosses taught us how not to lead, and sometimes the line between the two was blurred. How do you tell if your leadership impact is positive or negative? Here are a few signs that your style is working:
- People use your logic when they explain things to their people
- People choose to work for you and decline other opportunities
- People say success came from what they learned from you
Similarly, the following indicate that your leadership style may be having a negative impact:
- Your people stop their conversation when you approach
- Your people avoid delicate and controversial subjects
- Your turnover rate is higher than average
Leaders don't tell people what to do, rather they help people identify and remove impediments to progress. By asking the right questions, you encourage learning by your team and often learn a lot yourself.
Dealing with dysfunctional behavior. Few things erode productivity faster than dysfunctional behavior. If missed commitments, finger-pointing, whining, and the like are normal among your co-workers, you must change the environment. Just don't allow it. Anytime you see or hear one of those behaviors, stamp it out. Privately tell the troublemaker that his or her behavior is damaging the team and is unacceptable. If the behavior occurs during a meeting, ask repeat offenders to leave. You'll be amazed how quickly such rebuffs will change a group's behavior. That doesn't mean you should squash complaints—quite the contrary. But there is a constructive way and a destructive way to address poor performance. Making oneself look good by making others look bad is destructive. Offering new ideas to improve results or correct poor performance is constructive.
Your leadership impact. As a leader, you impact people in three dimensions:
- Intellectually by guiding the possibilities and priorities they consider
- Behaviorally by drawing and consistently enforcing the line between acceptable and unacceptable actions
- Emotionally by helping people feel positive about themselves and the organization
The first two—how a leader sets direction and acts as a role model—get a lot of attention. But in addition, be conscious of how you make people feel. Do you empower or drain them? Of the three dimensions, emotional impact is most essential to leadership because if you frustrate, annoy or anger people, your ideas are unlikely to be adopted and others won't change their behaviors no matter how right you are. In other words, if you don't influence people emotionally they won't follow you. How are your people feeling right now, for example?

Historical Context
Table ofContents
Ybor City is one of the most distinctive historic districts in the United States. Although, like northern industrial cities, it was the site of late19th-century immigration, the city took on its own unique character. Through the following activities students will be able to describe that character and identify similarities or differences found in their own community.
Activity 1: Describing Ybor City
Ask students to imagine that they are living in Ybor City in the early 1900s and that they have been asked to encourage other cigar workers to relocate in Ybor City. Have them design a leaflet describing the city during its heyday as a cigar-making center. They are to describe its economic base and physical appearance, explain the benefits to families living in the city, and make an argument as to why people would want to move there. When students' drafts are completed, have them work in groups of four or five to pool their ideas and then have each group produce a sample brochure. Debrief the activity by having students evaluate the evidence used in the most effective brochures. If time permits, consider having the students complete the above activity for their own community.
Activity 2: The Immigrant Experience
Have students use a history textbook to review the "new" immigration that took place from about 1880 to the early 1900s. Have them note that these immigrants were mostly Catholic and Jewish, and came from southern and eastern Europe. Their decision to move to the United States came from both "push" and "pull" factors. Push factors included religious and political persecution and poor economic conditions. Pull factors included opportunities to make a decent living, protection under U.S. laws, and freedom to practice their religions. Have students write short papers in which they describe how the Cuban immigrants fit the pattern of most new immigrants, and how they differed. Have them search the readings for evidence of push and pull factors in Cuban immigration. Hold a general class discussion on how the Cubans of Ybor City fit into the broader theme of large-scale immigration to America during the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
Activity 3: Local Community History
Divide students into three groups and ask each group to research one of the following aspects of their community's history: (1) Was your community founded as a "factory" or "company" town? If so, what industry developed the town, and why was the location of your community chosen? Is the industry still an important part of your community? Why or why not? If your community did not develop as a factory or company town, research when, why, and how it was founded. (2) What role have ethnic groups played in the history of your community? Are there places in the community that reflect these ethnic groups? How? (3) What are some of the recreational and educational facilities available in your community? Are they open to the public or are they patronized by members only? How do these facilities benefit the community? Next, ask a spokesperson from each group to summarize their findings, and then hold a classroom discussion on the similarities and differences between the history of their community and Ybor City.

Are surface temperature records reliable?
What the science says...
Climate Myth...
Temp record is unreliable
"We found [U.S. weather] stations located next to the exhaust fans of air conditioning units, surrounded by asphalt parking lots and roads, on blistering-hot rooftops, and near sidewalks and buildings that absorb and radiate heat. We found 68 stations located at wastewater treatment plants, where the process of waste digestion causes temperatures to be higher than in surrounding areas.
In fact, we found that 89 percent of the stations – nearly 9 of every 10 – fail to meet the National Weather Service's own siting requirements that stations must be 30 meters (about 100 feet) or more away from an artificial heating or radiating/reflecting heat source." (Watts 2009)
Surveys of weather stations in the USA have indicated that some of them are not sited as well as they could be. This calls into question the quality of their readings.
However, when processing their data, the organisations which collect the readings take into account any local heating or cooling effects, such as might be caused by a weather station being located near buildings or large areas of tarmac. This is done, for instance, by weighting (adjusting) readings after comparing them against those from more rural weather stations nearby.
More importantly, for the purpose of establishing a temperature trend, the relative level of single readings is less important than whether the pattern of all readings from all stations taken together is increasing, decreasing or staying the same from year to year. Furthermore, since this question was first raised, research has established that any error that can be attributed to poor siting of weather stations is not enough to produce a significant variation in the overall warming trend being observed.
It's also vital to realise that warnings of a warming trend — and hence Climate Change — are not based simply on ground level temperature records. Other completely independent temperature data compiled from weather balloons, satellite measurements, and from sea and ocean temperature records, also tell a remarkably similar warming story.
For example, a study by Anderson et al. (2012) created a new global surface temperature record reconstruction using 173 records with some type of physical or biological link to global surface temperatures (corals, ice cores, speleothems, lake and ocean sediments, and historical documents). The study compared their reconstruction to the instrumental temperature record and found a strong correlation between the two:
Temperature reconstruction based on natural physical and biological measurements (Paleo, solid) and the instrumental temperature record (MLOST, dashed) relative to 1901-2000. The range of the paleo trends index values is coincidentally nearly the same as the GST although the quantities are different (index values versus temperature anomalies °C).
Confidence in climate science depends on the correlation of many sets of these data from many different sources in order to produce conclusive evidence of a global trend.

Did you know that designers of the very first automobile dubbed the invention as "horseless carriages" since they were reluctant to change their mindset and accept a revolutionary technology? Similarly, designers of steel frames covered them in masonry so that they looked like already-known bearing wall structures. It took them years to utilize the expressive capability of steel that is quite prevalent in designing buildings today. There are scores of other examples where almost every industry has tried to dismiss an innovative solution and attempted to shape it according to familiar practices. But eventually, true innovation conquers all. The AEC industry is also undergoing a similar phase with BIM technology. Nevertheless, scope and future of BIM services is resplendent with opportunities galore. Let us get a sneak peek at what the future holds for Building Information Modeling.
Building Information Modeling – The Future Ahead
The increased awareness about green energy efficient homes has led to an amplified interest in Building Information Modeling services as the means to achieve this. The drivers of adopting green technology include energy efficiency, environmental health and generating less waste. With BIM technology, AEC firms can build facilities with Green House Gases (GHG) control, carbon regulation and zero emissions.

Sharing their own words in the form of haiku, Commencement speaker Ellen Tanis Awad encouraged the members of the Hope College Class of 2009 to approach their futures with a sense of joy and confident in their growth as undergraduates.
"As you look ahead, think about how you will choose to be in each moment," she said. "You have the ability to choose how you will greet each day and each person or situation you encounter."
Awad, who is director of student life and associate director of the Center for Faithful Leadership at Hope, presented "Haiku of the Day: 2009 Hope College Commencement Address" on Sunday, May 3, at Holland Municipal Stadium.
The college held all of its Alumni Weekend events and graduation activities as scheduled during the May 1-3 weekend following some initial uncertainty. Hope had voluntarily sent 10 samples from students who had flu-like symptoms to the Ottawa County Health Department for further testing, and on Friday, May 1, learned that nine had been identified as "probable" for H1N1, the strain commonly referred to as the "swine flu." The results of further testing by the federal Centers for Disease Control were not available prior to the weekend.
The health department did not recommend the cancellation of any college activities and instead emphasized good hygiene for illness prevention. Shortly before reading the graduates' names so that they could march across the stage to be congratulated by the president, Provost James Boelkins was prompted by the situation to quip, "President Bultman reminded me that he will be shaking hands with graduates today, but we ask for no kissing."
More than 700 graduating seniors participated in the ceremony, the college's 144th. The class consisted of students from throughout the United States as well as Ethiopia, France, Kenya, Nigeria, Palestine, Peru, Romania, the Ukraine and the United Arab Emirates.
In her address before the presentation of the graduates, Awad explained that she had initially started writing haiku - three-line poems with a 5-7-5 syllable pattern--as a way of refocusing her frustration when raking leaves that had blown into her treeless yard.
"As I raked and festered with frustration that day, I was struck by the words of the 118th Psalm: 'This is the day that the Lord has made. Let us rejoice and be glad in it,'" she said.
"So, as I raked, I composed a poem about the leaves. Choosing to refocus my mind alleviated my anger toward the multitude of rogue leaves in my yard, and that day started a new hobby for me of composing haiku poetry," Awad said. "It has become a way for me to change my perspective on a situation as well as to celebrate loved ones on special occasions. To rejoice and be glad in each moment God gives us."
It was in the spirit of celebration that she drew upon reflections from the seniors in composing two of three haiku for the ceremony. "transforming journey/ challenging, full of learning/ exponential growth," she recited, followed by, "best years of my life/defining, spirit filling/prepared to move on."
In analyzing the brief phrases, she cited a variety of the experiences that had shaped the graduates' lives - academic work, co-curricular activities, service to others and participation in campus spiritual life - and how together they comprised an education completed.
"You are not the same kid you were at Play Fair [in which students learn about campus activities]. You have mastered the scramble system [in the dining hall]," Awad said. "Your first college roommate may now be one of your closest friends. You have moved from figuring out what liberal arts means in your First-Year Seminar to being able to articulate your philosophy of life in your Senior Sem."
"Your journey here at Hope has transformed and defined you," she said. "You have become the person you are today as a result. You are a young adult prepared for the next part of your journey."
Awad's third and final haiku derived from the words of priest, theologian and author Henri Nouwen in "Bread for the Journey": "let your center speak/courageous, deeply rooted/keeping hope alive."
She recalled a Hope senior at her church being recognized for serving and working with middle school youth during the past four years. "While at Hope, she had let the choices she made in life represent her center or the core of who she is. Her decisions came from her heart - her authentic self," she said.
"She was courageous," Awad said. "Actually, I think anyone who dedicates any kind of time to youth going through puberty is pretty brave, but her courageousness allowed her passion and choices to guide her in a life that is deeply rooted, not superficial. She let her center speak through a life deeply rooted in faith, calling, leadership and service."
Awad called upon all of the graduates to reflect the same values whatever the circumstance, even in times of frustration.
"It seems to me that 'raking leaves' is really what makes up about 90 percent of life," she said. "And, each day, you have the choice to rejoice in the day the Lord has made while you rake through the paperwork on your desk, clean up the muckiness of a strained relationship, or bring order to the chaos of your wind-blown schedule."
"Here's what I want you to remember: rake leaves with authenticity," Awad said. "Authenticity grows out of all that you are. It is living into your faith daily, not just for an hour on Sundays. It is through being a reliable friend each day, not just when it fits in your schedule. It is through acting on your convictions when faced with adversity. It is through living an authentic life - in each and every moment - that you will be able to keep hope alive."
The graduation activities began in the morning with the college's Baccalaureate service in Dimnent Memorial Chapel, during which Dr. William Brownson, president emeritus of Words of Hope, delivered the sermon "Aiming for the Best." He built his message around II Corinthians 5:6-15, which discusses aiming to please Christ in keeping with the selfless love that Christ demonstrated through dying on the cross.
He recommended that instead of seeking worldly goals, such as wealth, fame or success, the graduates follow the example of those who instead chose to live committed to their faith. He cited people like William Wilberforce, the British Parliamentarian who fought against the slave trade; Eric Liddell, the Olympic champion portrayed in "Chariots of Fire" who set aside fame to serve in China as a missionary; Mother Teresa, who worked with the poor in Calcutta; and William Borden, a 1909 Yale graduate, heir to the Borden Company fortune who left his privileged existence to become a missionary.
"Each one of these incandescent careers was sparked and moved by devotion to Jesus Christ in response to His love," Brownson said. "And what moves me about it as I read of them and think of them is not only the self giving, but also the joyful abandon that there was in doing it - and the love. What a powerful love!"
Brownson noted that the graduates had also seen examples of commitment to Christ and service demonstrated during their Hope experience by the college's faculty and staff as well as by their fellow students. He asked them to live in the same spirit of aiming for the best.
"Let the love of Jesus Christ draw you to a life of self-giving service to others and to Him," he said. "Live near to Him in prayer and in the Scriptures. Seek out a fellowship of caring hearts where you can be accountable. Pray for the power of the Holy Spirit in your life. Trust in Jesus Christ to live out in you His life of self-giving love."

NEW YORK, Nov. 12 (UPI) -- Barbara Walters says she is disappointed Hollywood starlet Lindsay Lohan scrapped their planned interview, then booked an appearance on "The Tonight Show."
"I have a few things to say about Lindsay Lohan," Walters said on Monday's edition of her talk show "The View." "I have been quiet, but here we go. I like Lindsay Lohan very much, let me say this. I have known her for years, since she was a very little girl, a child star and she was very vulnerable and she said whenever she'd do an interview, she would sit down and do it with me."
Walters said she flew to Los Angeles to talk to Lohan on the set of her TV movie "Liz & Dick" for the first part of their interview last June.
The second part was to take place next week ahead of the Elizabeth Taylor bio-picture's debut on Lifetime, but the veteran broadcast journalist said Lohan's longtime publicist recently quit and her new representative canceled her interview with Walters.
Walters said she would have understood, "if they said to me, 'Barbara, she is not up to the kinds of questions you might ask...'"
"Although most of [the questions] were comparing her life to Elizabeth Taylor's -- both child stars, both with aggressive mothers, etc. And it would have been a wonderful, wonderful interview. She could have set a lot of things straight. If they had told me that, I wouldn't feel quite so disappointed as I do today," Walters said, adding she wishes Lohan well even though she was upset to learn the actress had agreed to be interviewed by Jay Leno on "Tonight."
"As far as Jay goes, I love Jay, more power to him," Walters said.
Lohan, 26, starred in a string of hit films such as "The Parent Trap" and "Mean Girls," but in recent years has seen her career eclipsed by her legal troubles, family dramas, and battles with drugs and alcohol.

Chinese herbs have been around for a long, long time - five thousand years, give or take a few - and they are highly effective for treating all sorts of health problems. I believe that they work best when used within the paradigm of Oriental medicine. In other words, Chinese herbs are much more likely to work well when a patient receives the herbal prescription from a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner, and receives the practitioner's guidance and support around using those herbs.
Some 500 to 600 herbs, animal byproducts, and minerals comprise the traditional Chinese materia medica. These herbs are used by TCM practitioners in all kinds of combinations, based on a complex diagnostic system. Naturopathic and TCM doctors use the same general approach - we base diagnosis and treatment on evaluation of imbalances, deficiencies, and excesses, and the ability of various treatments to counteract them. TCM is based on ancient theories involving the flow of energy (qi), made up of a balance of yin and yang energies, along energy pathways (meridians) that run throughout the body. Qi is manipulated by supporting either yin or yang with specific herbal combinations, or by directing its movement with acupuncture, acupressure, cupping (where glass vials are applied to the skin with a gentle vacuum) or moxibustion (burning of herbs at acupuncture points).
Many Chinese herbs are beginning to enter the mainstream of herbal medicine, and these herbs are widely available in health food and supplement stores and increasingly popular with consumers for maintaining optimal health or to correct an imbalance that is making them feel unwell. Here are a few of the herbs customers might be looking for, and why they are believed to be beneficial for their health.
Panax Ginseng
One of the best-known Chinese herbs, panax is what's known as an adaptogen - it enhances cellular metabolism, increases endurance and energy, and is believed to enhance brain function and boost alertness. Any adaptogen (which may also be referred to as a tonic) earns its title by improving the body's ability to tolerate and recover from stress, whether that stress is physical (intense exercise), chemical (exposure to toxins), or biological (contracting an illness).
Panax ginseng. This tonic, adaptogenic herb increases the amount of oxygen that passes from the bloodstream into cells to be burned for energy, improving exercise performance and breakdown of carbohydrate and fat stores. These effects explain why ginseng is so popular as an energy and endurance booster. It's also thought to increase fuel availability in the brain, enhancing alertness and thinking ability. Panax ginseng contains chemicals called ginsenosides, which mimic the adrenal hormones made in the body when stressful situations arise. Those hormones enhance energy, strength, and alertness, helping us to rise to the occasion. In other words, ginsenosides specifically support the function of the body's natural stress-resistance system.

News editor
Marion County took a step Monday toward opening a certified commercial kitchen that would help give a leg-up to entrepreneurs who want to start food-based businesses in the county.
The county commission gave Economic Development Director Teresa Huffman approval to pursue grants to convert one of the kitchens at the county lake hall into a certified kitchen — that requires substantial replacement, installation, and updating of fixtures and equipment, including no less than five sinks, Huffman said.
For someone looking to build a certified kitchen from scratch, it can cost as much as $100,000, Huffman said. She is going to pursue available grants of $70,000 and $25,000 to get the kitchen up and running.
Commission Chairman Randy Dallke said he didn't think Huffman would have enough time to manage the kitchen and keep up with all of her other duties. Huffman agreed and said that was why she would seek hiring someone part-time to manage and promote it. Such a person would be paid with revenue from renting the kitchen out to entrepreneurs, as well as providing classes.
Commissioner Roger Fleming said he thought the idea had merit, but questioned what would happen to it after the grants were gone and equipment needed to be replaced or updated. Huffman said the goal would be to set aside rent and class revenue for that purpose.
Fleming said he would also like to track, if possible, what percentage of ingredients used in the kitchen were bought in Marion County.
In other business:
- Merle D. Fleming and DeLayne R. Herbel were appointed to the Lehigh Township board as treasurer and clerk, respectively, after volunteering.
- County Clerk Tina Spencer met with the commission in closed session for five minutes to discuss personnel. No action was taken on return to open session.
- The county will retain Don McMican for engineering work for courthouse structural repairs, not to exceed $46,000.
- Road and Bridge Department will purchase 8,000 gallons of fuel from Cooperative Grain & Supply of Hillsboro for $27,427. Cardie Oil Inc. of Tampa bid $27,786.
- Road and Bridge Superintendent Randy Crawford met with the commission in closed session for 20 minutes to discuss personnel. No action was taken on return to open session.
- The commission instructed Crawford to file a complaint at the sheriff's office about someone repeatedly knocking over signs to get combine headers down a county road. The commission said the farmer has a long history of doing so and has been defiant.
The next commission meeting will be Tuesday.

The North Fork Brewery, Pizzeria, Beer Shrine and Wedding Chapel
6186 Mt. Baker Highway
Deming, WA 98244
(360) 599-2337
Rank: 5/5
Type of Establishment: Brewpub, ultimate après-ski hangout
Visit: Thanksgiving weekend, our first trip to Mt. Baker of the 2010-2011 snowboard season
Beers on Tap (at time of visit):
Hair of the Frog Barleywine
Son of Frog English Style Ale
Dry Stout
Bavarian Hefeweizen
Bottle List:
Food Options:
The North Fork prides itself on its variety of pizzas, but the menu also includes calzones, grinders, sandwiches, steamers, salads and a French onion soup made with vegetarian(!) stock. I usually go with pizza or a veggie grinder/onion soup combo, but opted for the soup and veggie calzone this time. The French onion soup is always a great treat for me, as it's rare to find a place that makes it without beef stock. The Calzone was big, baked to perfection and provided ample sustenance after a day of riding.
Bar Opinions:
This place can best be described with one word: magical. Situated on the Mt. Baker highway about half way between Bellingham and the Mt. Baker ski area, the North th Fork is truly an isolated gem. I first discovered the North Fork on a late September day trip to Mt. Baker. Being new to the Northwest, a friend and I decided to venture north and explore a legendary portion of this great state of Washington.
We were pleasantly surprised to find the Beer Shrine, shining alone like an oasis in a remote land. I became rather obsessed with the North Fork's logo, proudly emblazoned on their roadside sign. The logo is a medieval-style wood carving of what appears to be two monks brewing beer; ancient alchemists conducting sacred work. The image's style was one I was previously fond of, and having found the perfect drawing, I decided I wanted it tattooed somewhere on my body. I contacted the person who maintains their website, requested a high-res copy of the image, and in the winter of 2009 I had it permanently inked on my left arm.
Now that you have that bit of history, allow me to describe the actual bar. It's rustic, comfortable and warm. It feels like being inside a log cabin, meticulously decorated with antique beer memorabilia. Hundreds of vintage bottles and cans are displayed along shelves, and old-timey beer advertisements and signage adorn the walls. Families sit at tables, enjoying pizza, and locals are camped out at the bar watching college football on the single TV.
Beers on tap vary, but they're all made in-house. Thankfully, barley wine was available the day we stopped by, hands-down their finest (and strongest) brew. The IPA leaves something to be desired in the flavor department, but the Son of Frog was a pleasant surprise having never tried it before.
If you leave Mt. Baker any later than 2:00, expect to wait at least 45 minutes for a table, as the North Fork is an extremely popular destination for locals and those traveling back to Bellingham or Seattle after a day on the slopes.

Ferraris and alcohol don't mix. Neither do Ferraris and tramways. But all three came together in Munich during the wee hours this past Sunday morning. Authorities said that the driver, whose blood alcohol level was found to be 0.086%, was driving too fast when he smashed through a metal barrier onto a tramway running along the median strip.
The hammered 52-year-old Hun driving the Ferrari 458 through posh Munich-Grünwald had his 52-year-old wife sitting next to him when a metal barrier meant to keep cars off the tramway ripped the car's passenger door completely off. The wife suffered only minor bruises, but the pecuniary damage is going to leave a mark. The driver's vulgar display of Italian power cost an estimated $263,812.
Good thing the tram wasn't coming.

Keeping your commute functioning in winter often means keeping the tracks unfrozen. That's why when temperatures dropped to well below freezing last week, the Long Island Rail Road needed to do something to keep all the moving parts working. And this crazy-looking fire mechanism is how they did it.
One of the most important things a railroad can do is keep its switches functioning. If one important switch goes down, like the switches pictured here at the LIRR's Jamaica Station, it can shut the entire system down. Really. So when temperatures get really cold, railroads around the world resort to these gas-powered switch warmers to stop the cold and ice from shutting everything down.
It's actually a very practical solution to a very pressing problem, when you think about it. What better way to warm something up, than with fire? And since most of New York's Metropolitan Transit Authority track equipment is still just leftovers from a hundred years ago, this ages-old solution still makes sense.
Though if you're ever wondering what seems to cause the constant track fires in winter, this might be part of the problem.

Why study Biomedical Science?
The biomedical sciences encompass study areas relevant to the understanding of health and treatment of disease. Biomedical research receives, both nationally and internationally, around half the total research dollars available to all of science. This high representation underscores the relevance of basic biomedical research to health care and the natural curiosity shared by all humans about understanding the mechanisms of our own bodies. Breakthroughs in understanding human disease or its control (vaccines for polio, measles, influenza, antibiotics, cancer genetics) have been, and continue to be, dependent on fundamental research into biological mechanisms at the cellular and molecular level.
More information about what can be studied in the Biomedical Science Major.
What you can study
The study of biomedical science commences with a broad foundation in the biological sciences in the first two years. In the third year students choose specialised study in subject areas including physiology, pharmacology, anatomy, developmental biology, human genetics, neuroscience, human immunology and infectious diseases.
Biomedical Science is also available as an extended major.
View the course list for courses that can be studied as part of the Biomedical Science single major.
Employment opportunities
The BSc in Biomedical Science can lead to:
- Research work in pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies developing diagnostics for disease and new drugs for treatments
- Academic and research positions in universities, research institutes and hospitals
- Working in scientific sales and marketing
This major will also provide you with a solid grounding to pursue postgraduate study in medicine and allied health-related courses.

Light filter lets rays through from only one direction
Angle-sensitive device could improve photography and solar energy harvesting
Weishun Xu and Yuhao Zhang
Like a traffic cop directing cars, a layered stack of transparent materials permits light arriving from only a single direction to pass through. Such angle-sensitive filters could improve cameras and telescopes or allow solar cells to convert sunlight into energy more efficiently.
People have created effective light filters for thousands of years. Stained glass, for instance, filters light by color, allowing only a single shade to shine through while reflecting light at other wavelengths. But scientists have had trouble filtering light based on the angle from which it arrives.
In creating a directional light filter, MIT physicist Yichen Shen and his team knew that for the interface between any pair of materials, light arriving from one specific angle, known as the Brewster angle, can simply pass through unimpeded — it won't get reflected or bent.
Knowing an interface's Brewster angle provided a way to allow light from a desired angle to pass

A young boy named Ash Ketchum embarks on a journey to become a "Pokemon Master" with his first Pokemon, Pikachu. Joining him on his travels are Brock, a girl-obsessed Rock Pokemon Trainer, and Misty, a tomboyish Water Pokemon Trainer who may have a crush on him. Ash and Co. end up traveling through various regions, including Kanto, the Orange Islands, and Johto, and then enter the Pokemon League competitions there. Along the way, they run into many confrontations with Jessie, James, and Meowth, a trio of Pokemon thieves who are apart of an evil organization called "Team Rocket". But everytime Team Rocket try to do their evil deeds, they fail thanks to Ash and his Pokemon.

It's difficult to know exactly how to phrase what I'm asking, in some ways, but as someone new to the freelancing world I'm finding it all a bit bizarre. One minute I'll have someone offering me $120 for some fairly simple Systems Admin work, will overlook any errors or problems, and be extremely grateful when I complete to the task, and will stick to the terms exactly. The next I'll go on Freelancer and be expected to complete tasks several times more difficult, which take at least as long for $15-30, but it seems there are a large number of people bidding for similar work... which often ends up having extra bits added on at the last minute, phrased in a way that's so confusing I agree to them initially, before realising they were not actually part of the initial agreement at all.
So, what's the deal? Are some places just better than others to find good employers as a freelancer? Is it just a matter of personal friendships and connections?
I consider myself upper-intermediate in terms of my skills in my core coding focuses, and most clients ask for repeat work, but I'm just not really sure if I'm exploiting the more generous, or if the more ruthless are exploiting me, or maybe a bit of both.
I'd much rather be paid a fair rate for my skills and have a good relationship with an employer so I'm always nice to them, even if I secretly think $30 for a day's work is kind of unfair. But I have bills to pay and debts from my old business that never got far enough to make back the money I invested in it, so I feel like I should be more pragmatic.
Does anyone have advice or good reading they could recommend to make sure people don't take advantage of my skills.?

Re: Freelance coding: what should I expect?
I think you are missing some business analysis and estimation skills. What that boils down to are detailed specifications of work, risk analysis of how complete the specification is and an accurate estimation of your time for a job. You can either charge by the day/hour regardless of the specification, or charge based on an estimate which is based on a specification (which is never complete enough). If a specification is incomplete you need to be able to judge how incomplete it is, and then charge based on the risk you will be taking on. I appreciate this may be difficult on a freelancer site.

A Business Advisory Board Can Help
It's not uncommon for small business owners or CEO's to feel like there is no one they can turn for help, advice or validation.
Fortunately, a business advisory board can help. Business leaders who consult an advisory board not only gain camaraderie, they gain ready access to experts in a variety of fields, such as marketing, sales, financing, and others. Not to mention a valuable multi-perspective approach to your day-to-day managerial duties.
Read Also: 5 Best Practices For Taking Your Business To The Next Level
Business Success Is A Team Effort
Not ready to commit to utilizing a business advisory board in all aspects of your business? That's fine. Start small instead. Many successful boards are originally formed with a very specific goal in mind – such as the implementation of a new strategic plan.
And you don't always have to look exclusively outside of your business for help. Consider tapping members of your management team for specific organizational reports. Each advisory board meeting could begin with members of your management team providing updates on assigned areas, such as finances, operations/production, human resources, IT, and sales & marketing. This portion of the meeting will ensure that everybody is on the same page and will encourage your management team to buy into the advisory process. Later in your meeting, set aside time to speak confidentially with your advisory team. Doing so will provide everyone with the opportunity to speak candidly.
Say 'No' To 'Yes-Men'
If you don't trust the members of your advisory board, the initiative will not be effective. You need to go into advisory board meetings ready and willing to share sensitive information about the business, as well as personal information about yourself. If you don't trust your board, you are unlikely to tell them everything they need to know to provide you with the best advice possible. Your board should consist of the following experts:
- An attorney
- An accountant
- A banker
- Experts in Marketing, HR and/or IT
- Other successful entrepreneurs from other industries
- Potential customers
Optimally, you should try to keep the group small and close-knit. More than six advisors on your board are not recommended as the productivity of the team is likely to take a hit.
Know Your Limitations
Excellent leaders seek out excellent advisors and the best advisors for your business are those who fill knowledge gaps within your company. They will also not be afraid to share their opinions and offer differing perspectives. You may not always like what they have to say, but you will be a better leader for hearing it. You can't do everything and you can't be an expert on every topic or every issue that comes across your desk. But an advisory team will help you get there.
Set Expectations
Even though advisory boards are more informal than boards of directors, it's important to set expectations and ground rules on any time expectations, responsibilities and duration of service. Consider a written document outlining your board's responsibilities and logistics, such as meeting frequency, expected time commitment and compensation, if any. Quarterly meetings as a group with individual meetings as needs arise is a good framework.
Remember, your business advisory board does not have authority to make business decisions; it will offer advice that you can either take or dismiss. Speak frankly about your business goals are and explain that you don't expect them to take on an active management role or assume any liability for your company or for the advice they offer. Providing written indemnification for each participant is appropriate.
The advisory board experience should be interesting and beneficial for all involved. Being on your board will expose members to new ideas and perspectives, and also offers mentoring, networking and social opportunities that make the experience worthwhile. At the very least, you should cover any expenses members incur to attend meetings, and provide meals when you get together. You could also consider a per-meeting fee that might range from a few hundred to a few thousand dollars, depending on commitment.
Email Rea & Associates to learn more ways a business advisory board can help you become a better business leader.

Khloe Kardashian's basketball player husband, Lamar Odom, went on a rampage in Los Angeles on Wednesday following a dispute with a photographer.
The reality TV star's partner was caught on tape rifling through the back seat of the snapper's car, taking out his camera and other equipment before throwing it on the ground.
Footage of the incident also appears to show the former Los Angeles Clippers player grabbing what looks like a metal tripod and threatening to hit another photographer's car. Odom then appears to pick up the strewn photographic equipment from the street and put it in the trunk of his own vehicle.
Witnesses claim Odom, who stands 6 foot 10 inches tall, snapped after a run-in with the paparazzi.
No police reports had been filed over the incident at the time WENN went to press, but Kardashian has come out in defense of her husband, branding the photographers "losers" in a rant on Twitter.
She also praised Odom for keeping his cool when fans approached him after the incident and asked to have their picture taken with him, writing, "Shout out to my hubby (sic) for posing with the fans! I love my Lam!… I just love my hubby."
