Ten Texas schools named in international ranking
An international ranking of top universities named ten Texas schools among the top 500, including four in the top 100 and five Houston area institutions.
The Academic Ranking of World Universities began in 2003 and is published by the Center for World-Class Universities and the Graduate School of Education of Shanghai Jiao Tong University in China. Research initiatives play a key component in the compilation of the list: half of the Texas schools ranked are medical centers.
Nearly 150 universities in the U.S. cracked the top 500. Eight of the top ten schools can be found on American soil. Read the complete list here.

Brian Grasso, CEO for the International Youth Conditioning Association, travels extensively throughout the world as a guest lecturer on the topic of youth athletic development and fitness. You can find dozens of free articles, sample programs and resources on his Web site: www.DevelopingAthletics.com.
The fitness industry has changed immeasurably over the past decade. One-on-one personal training has given way to more group training efforts, and the market demographic of individuals seeking expert instruction has changed.
One of the fastest growing and most lucrative demographics in the industry is children and teenagers. With youth obesity on the rise, physical education cuts nationwide, an over-zealous youth sports mentality, and rapid decline in the health and physical culture of our youngest generation, this demographic is now considered to have the largest growth potential in our entire marketplace.
Prudent fitness professionals intending to make a longevity-based career out of their work must forecast towards future trends and understand the current climate of our industry. The professional of the future must become a specialist in one or two specific areas of expertise. They must focus their efforts at becoming the best at what they do, branding themselves for such initiative and becoming the "go to" person for the specific specialty in their respective geographic area.
As the niche specialty of youth continues to grow, ambitious consumers (i.e., parents) will seek out only those qualified fitness professionals who truly understand the nature of developmental fitness, pediatric exercise science and program design for clients ranging in age from 6 to 18 years old.
Fitness professionals would be well-served to join an educational organization whose own specialty resides in teaching the proper science and application of working with young clients for either health or sports-related objectives. That being said, the market of youth fitness and sport training is virtually an open canvas for all motivated professionals seeking job security, as well as intense job satisfaction.
According to the Wall Street Journal, more than $4 billion is spent every year on training and coaching for children and teenagers in the United States. MSNBC reports that more than 1 million U.S. youngsters from ages 6 to 18 hired a personal trainer in 2006.
With such intensive demand for service, many fitness professionals are left wondering where to get started and how they can enter the ever-expanding world of youth fitness and sport training.
In my experience, your best bet for entering this incredibly rewarding market is through your local YMCA and park district facilities. Both places have facilities as well as a direct contact with community families looking for fitness and recreational programs.
This avenue is particularly enticing for a number of reasons. First, you will not have to incur any type of overhead with respect to facility rental or leasing as the standard operating agreement with venues such as these is a mere revenue split upon the conclusion of your camp or program.
The same holds true for getting clients in the door. Once you have met and cultivated a relationship with the fitness director of the facility, they will ask you for a brief summary of your program that includes specific details related to fees, dates and times, program content, and program duration. Once approved, they will either send direct mail on your behalf to local families or include your program in the next edition of their quarterly catalog. In both instances, the cost to you is zero while the exposure is massive.
In terms of registration and fee collection, the agency will also usually handle this on your behalf and simply cut you a check for the divided profits at the conclusion of the camp. In my experience, it is best to begin developing a relationship with the facility's fitness director sometime in early spring so that you can begin offering youth fitness programs through their network starting in the summer—the busiest time of year for youth fitness specialists.
Once you have become a known commodity in your area to local families and have branded yourself as a go-to person in the realm of youth fitness and sport training, your options grow considerably. You can certainly continue on with the YMCA or a park district, which is something I strongly advise, or parlay your new-found reputation into more private training sessions that are conducted at off-site locations.
With the youth fitness and sport training marketplace exploding, I hope this answers the questions of where you train kids and how you find clients.

One of the designs I recently had to work on needed a narrow width header in a sidebar with a large number on the left side of it and the header text vertically centered to the right.
If you've worked with CSS for awhile you've probably ran into the same issue as everyone else. Vertical alignment with universally supported css is not easy. There are multiple techniques you can use to make something vertically aligned but there are drawbacks to each.
For my use case I couldn't use any of the normal tricks I'd use. I didn't know the exact height of the number and I needed the header text on the right to wrap properly. So I couldn't use a typical technique involving
line-height, absolute positioning, or padding.

Britney Spears will fill one of the "The X Factor" judge's seats left vacant after an early-year shakeup that tossed the show's host and two judges, according to reports.
E! Online reported the pop star signed a $15 million contract to join the musical talent show alongside Simon Cowell. Us Weekly also cited a source in reporting that Spears landed the gig.
The "Toxic" singer's addition to Fox's singing competition came after Paula Abdul, Nicole Scherzinger and host Steve Jones were axed in January.
U.S. & World
The day's top national and international news.
Spears had been one of several celebrities, including Mariah Carey, Janet Jackson and Pink, whose names swirled around the rumor mill leading up to the reveal. Fox has yet to confirm the reports.
Cowell wouldn't deny rumors that Spears was at the top of his list when he was asked earlier in the year about a report the pop star had expressed interest in the gig.
"Are we flattered that there could be interest? Yes," he said, before adding, "I've learned a big lesson: Keep your mouth shut. Don't give it all away."
Just weeks ago, Access Hollywood also mentioned the Spears rumor during an on-camera interview with former judge Scherzinger.
Asked for words of wisdom she would pass to Spears, if she got the gig, Scherzinger said: "Be herself, because she's so bubbly and warm already, everyone alaready loves her."

Commission wants to facilitate the return of unlawfully removed national treasures
There is rising concern about increasing illegal trade in high cultural properties such as paintings, sculptures, religious property and archaeological pieces.The territory of the European Union, with an internal market without borders and a great cultural and historical heritage, is particularly affected. While most thefts are perpetrated in France, Poland, Germany and Italy, according to Interpol, all Member States are involved.
Therefore, the European Commission launched a public consultation on ways to improve the safe-keeping of cultural goods and the return between Member States of national treasures unlawfully removed from their territory. The consultation will provide an insight into the views of public authorities, citizens and other stakeholders on the most effective way to facilitate such return.
The protection of cultural property relies to a great extent on the legislation of the Member States. Nevertheless, the European Union also contributes to its protection, notably by means of Directive 93/7/EEC which establishes a mechanism for the return of certain national treasures that have been unlawfully removed from the territory of a Member State after 1993. During the implementation of the Directive, Member States highlighted certain of its limitations, such as a one-year deadline for initiating recovery proceedings, with a direct consequence on its effectiveness.
European Commission Vice President Antonio Tajani, responsible for Industry and Entrepreneurship said: "Today, the illicit trafficking of cultural property is a major problem, going beyond a significant economic dimension, to affecting the core of our cultural identity. I share the increased concern of citizens and Member States and I am working to improve the situation. Please be a part of this effort and let us have your comments and ideas".
Interested parties may submit their contributions to the following address:
The public consultation will be open until 05 March 2012.
More information related to the current Directive and the implementation reports:
Council Directive 93/7/EEC was adopted to secure the return of certain categories of national treasures removed illegally from the territory of a Member State and located in the territory of another Member State.
The Directive aims at striking a balance between the free movement of cultural goods within Member States and the legitimate objective of each Member State to protect their national treasures possessing artistic, historical or archaeological value. The return obligation enshrined in the Directive applies only to items unlawfully removed since 1 January 1993.
According to the information given by the Member States, Directive 93/7/EEC is not effective. The most important problems relate to its scope and the conditions for using return proceedings. Moreover, it seems that cooperation and the exchange of information among the competent national authorities should also be improved. Thus, the Commission is of the opinion that it is necessary to explore the best way to achieve the return of unlawfully removed national treasures in the European Union.

For the past few years I have been talking with EV friends in Southern Ontario about starting a non-profit electric vehicle association in the Golden Horseshoe. I think the time is right for EV owners, prospective EV owners, hybrid vehicle owners and those with a general passion for transportation electrification within the Mississauga to Niagara area, to rally together.
Since I had my first drive in a Roadster a week ago at the Montreal EV2012 Conference I am more motivated than ever to earn myself a Model S. Maybe getting GHEVA off the group will help! :)
If you are interested in taking part in this grass roots initiative, I hope that you will contact me so that together we can form a board, establish a charter, setup a bank account, strategize on charging station install locations, organize EV ride n' drives, educate the public and enjoy like-minded people's company that want to make a difference through a common passion for sustainable forms of transportation. I have already registered the domain www.gheva.org and designed a couple variations of the GHEVA logo so we can hit the ball running at a meeting when we have a core group ready.
I have been involved in electric vehicles since 1990 and have been a member of the Electric Vehicle Council of Ottawa (EVCO) when I lived in Ottawa and worked for an electric motorcycle company. EVCO and its great members were very inspirational to me and have provided many ideas that I am keen to share with you so that we might be able to ramp up GHEVA in short order. I hope you share my desire to accelerate EV sales at the dealership level, EV-tourism throughout our beautiful region and many other aspects of this new and exciting paradigm shift in transportation.
Please join the GHEVA LinkedIN Group and call me at 905-515-0497 if you are interested in helping with the early stage planning of this fledgling group.

What Is Celiac Disease?
Celiac disease, sometimes called sprue or celiac sprue, is an inherited intestinal disorder in which the body cannot tolerate gluten. Gluten is a protein found in wheat, rye, barley, farina, and bulgur. When people with celiac disease eat foods containing gluten, their immune systems respond by attacking and damaging the lining of the small intestine. The small intestine is responsible for absorbing nutrients from food into the bloodstream for the body to use. When the lining is damaged, so is its ability to absorb these nutrients.
Celiac disease affects people differently. Some people develop symptoms as children and others as adults. Symptoms vary and may or may not occur in the digestive system. They may include diarrhea, abdominal pain, weight loss, irritability, and depression, among others. Irritability is one of the most common symptoms among children. In some cases, a diagnosis of celiac disease is missed because the symptoms are so varied and may only flare up occasionally.
Children and adults with untreated celiac disease may become malnourished, meaning they do not get enough nutrients, resulting in anemia, weight loss, and, in children, delayed growth and small stature. Among the possible complications of untreated celiac disease is the inability to develop optimal bone mass in children and the loss of bone in adults, both of which increase the risk of osteoporosis. The only treatment for celiac disease is to follow a gluten-free diet.

What Is Osteoporosis?
Osteoporosis is a condition in which the bones become less dense and more likely to fracture. Fractures from osteoporosis can result in pain and disability. In the United States, more than 53 million people either already have osteoporosis or are at high risk due to low bone mass. Although postmenopausal white women have the highest risk for the disease, men and certain ethnic populations are also at risk.
Risk factors for developing osteoporosis include:
- thinness or small frame
- family history of the disease
- being postmenopausal and particularly having an early menopause
- abnormal absence of menstrual periods (amenorrhea)
- prolonged use of certain medications, such as those used to treat lupus, asthma, thyroid deficiencies, and seizures
- low calcium intake
- lack of physical activity
- smoking
- excessive alcohol intake
Osteoporosis often can be prevented. However, it is known as a silent disease because, if undetected, osteoporosis can progress for many years without symptoms until a fracture occurs. It has been called a childhood disease with old age consequences because building healthy bones in youth helps prevent osteoporosis and fractures later in life. However, it is never too late to adopt new habits for healthy bones.
The Link Between Celiac Disease and Osteoporosis
Osteoporosis is a complication of untreated celiac disease. The small intestine is responsible for absorbing important nutrients, such as calcium. Calcium is essential for building and maintaining healthy bones. Even people with celiac disease who consume enough calcium are often deficient in this nutrient. And because calcium is needed to keep bones healthy, low bone density is common in both children and adults with untreated and newly diagnosed celiac disease.
Osteoporosis Management Strategies
When people with celiac disease eliminate foods containing gluten from their diet, normal absorption of nutrients from the intestines is usually restored within a few months, although it may take up to 2 years in older adults. Eventually, most children and adults have significant improvements in bone density.
People with celiac disease who have successfully adopted a gluten-free diet also need to follow the same basic strategies for bone health that apply to others who don't have the disease. These strategies include getting adequate calcium and vitamin D, performing weight-bearing exercise, not smoking, and avoiding excessive use of alcohol. In some cases, an osteoporosis treatment medication may be recommended.
Nutrition. A well-balanced diet rich in calcium and vitamin D is important for healthy bones. Good sources of calcium include low-fat dairy products; dark green, leafy vegetables; and calcium-fortified foods and beverages. Supplements can help ensure that the calcium requirement is met each day, especially in people with a proven milk allergy. The Institute of Medicine recommends a daily calcium intake of 1,000 mg (milligrams) for men and women up to age 50. Women over age 50 and men over age 70 should increase their intake to 1,200 mg daily.
Vitamin D plays an important role in calcium absorption and bone health. Food sources of vitamin D include egg yolks, saltwater fish, and liver. Older individuals—especially those who are housebound, live in northern climates, or use sunscreen—are often deficient in this vitamin and may need vitamin D supplements to achieve the recommended intake of 600 to 800 IU (International Units) each day.
Exercise. Like muscle, bone is living tissue that responds to exercise by becoming stronger. The best kind of activity for your bones is weight-bearing exercise that forces you to work against gravity. Some examples include walking, climbing stairs, weight training, and dancing. These and other types of exercise also strengthen muscles that support bone, enhance balance and flexibility, and preserve joint mobility, all of which help reduce the likelihood of falling and breaking a bone, especially among older people.
Healthy lifestyle. Smoking is bad for bones as well as the heart and lungs. Women who smoke tend to go through menopause earlier, resulting in earlier reduction in levels of the bone-preserving hormone estrogen and triggering earlier bone loss. In addition, smokers may absorb less calcium from their diets. Alcohol also can have a negative effect on bone health. Those who drink heavily are more prone to bone loss and fracture, because of both poor nutrition and increased risk of falling.
Bone density test. A bone mineral density (BMD) test measures bone density in various sites of the body. This safe and painless test usually can detect osteoporosis before a fracture occurs and predict one's chances of fracturing in the future. Adults with celiac disease should talk to their doctors about whether they might be candidates for a BMD test. The test can help determine whether medication should be considered.
Medication. Several medications are available to prevent and treat osteoporosis, including: bisphosphonates; estrogen agonists/antagonists (also called selective estrogen receptor modulators or SERMS); calcitonin; parathyroid hormone; estrogen therapy; hormone therapy; and a RANK ligand (RANKL) inhibitor.

You've known of my environmental views since we were neighbors on Parkside Court and Failing Street. You've known my technical credentials since, as a Clackamas County Commissioner, you visited my workgroup at what was then Tektronix Wilsonville.
I hope you will accept the following as not being from some "nut case" end-of-the-world type, but rather as a rational analysis from someone trained and experienced in science and technology.
The United States and the entire world faces a looming crisis that has not been seen since the great wars of the last century. Our burgeoning population, as well as the finer points of our civilization, are completely dependent on a non-renewable natural resource that is going into decline, even as demand continues to increase. We are about to overshoot global oil production.
I have been studying this phenomenon for years, and have been making my own preparations. So far, politicians have ignored it, and the media have ignored it. But as Congressman Roscoe Bartlett (R MD) recently stated before Congress, many "rational, professional, conservative individuals... are absolutely terrified by the phenomenon known as global peak oil."
If you missed Congressman Bartlett's presentation, and have not yet read it in the Congressional Record, I urge you to do so now. It is very well researched. Although I disagree with Congressman Bartlett's position on almost every other issue, I was impressed with the depth of his understanding of this looming crisis. It must have taken some genuine soul-searching for an ultra-conservative father of ten, opposed to most forms of birth control, to call for curbs on population growth.
In fact, there are increasing signals that oil may have already peaked. Co-incidental with Congressman Bartlett's denial-breaking speech, OPEC announced that it can no longer keep up with global oil demand. Historians may cite March 15, 2005 as The Peak.
We are not simply "running out of oil." The problem is more complex than that, and more difficult to communicate. What is true is that oil production will no longer keep up with demand, and our civilization will inevitably revert to the coal age.
Unless humanity abolishes the holy grail of "growth" and seeks a steady-state energy level of perhaps only 10% to 20% of today's usage, a child born today will in her lifetime experience a similar trauma of "peak coal", and humanity will begin reversion to altogether pre-industrial times.
I know letters like this one are supposed to ask for something. I am not aware of a vote, or a bill in committee, or a co-sponsorship that I can ask of you. The first national politician has taken public notice just this week!
I know of your favorable record in energy efficiency and conservation, and I hope it will continue. What I am asking now is that you become an activist, and vigorously pursue these issues, introducing and co-sponsoring bills, rather than simply voting for them. Congressman Bartlett calls for a "Manhattan Project" effort in this regard, and compares it to putting a man on the moon in scope.
Within each crisis is an opportunity. Today's adults are doomed to a future of rapidly escalating energy costs. But bold leadership now can save today's child from "shivering in the dark" in her old age.
Having spent a great deal of time researching this immense crisis, I am at your service, should I be able to help.

New premiere April 21, 2011
Opera. The critically acclaimed production of Eugen Onegin from 2008 returns to our stage. Carolina Sandgren sings her first Tatyana.
Opera in three acts by Pyotr Tchaikovsky (1840–1893).
"An exceptionally beautiful opera production." GP
"Sensational singing performances." GP
"A brilliant performance." BT (Borås tidning)
"A consummate performance with impressive soloist performances." Bohusläningen
"Eugene Onegin proves a lucky choice for The Göteborg Opera." Hp (Hallandsposten)
Watch pictures from the perfromance.
Tchaikovsky's Eugene Onegin stands out among Russian operas. Tchaikovsky tells the story of young farm girl, Tatyana, who falls deeply and unhappily in love with worldly dandy Eugene Onegin in such a touching way that it is always performed simultaneously at a number of operas world-wide.
The audience in Göteborg is now given a second chance to see the dazzlingly beautiful production which first premiered in 2008. Inspired by nineteenth century Russian photographs, world famous seet designer Igor Popov has created a fantastic decor and Zuzana Ježková splendid costumes. Jakub Korcák directed with a compassionate hand and Håkan Mayer created dances based on those of the era – from the playful dances in rural Russia to the stricter ones dictated by court etiquette. Together they created a production loved by visitors to The Göteborg Opera.
This revival performance also contains some important additional artists: soprano Carolina Sandgren does her first Tatyana and we bid the Russian maestro Alexander Polianichko, who last performed at The Göteborg Opera in Mats Ek's Sleeping Beauty, welcome as our new conductor. The male principal parts were performed with great success by Gabriel Suovanen and Nikola Matiši in 2008, and as an additional bonus we will now see Ingrid Tobiasson as Tatyana's wet nurse Philippyevna.

Ryan's Voluntary Disclosure and Registration services assist corporations in negotiating voluntary disclosure agreements (VDAs) with the most favourable results possible. We have experts in each tax specialty who have assisted clients with VDAs in many jurisdictions. We assist clients with single or multiple negotiation requirements, involving one or multiple tax issues. Ryan professionals have years of experience and maintain constant contact with the tax jurisdictions to ensure the most up-to-date VDA information is readily available to our clients.
As part of any engagement with a client, we first analyse all of the facts attributed to the business and activities taking place in a respective jurisdiction. We then work with our client to determine potential exposure and possible methods to minimise that exposure. This process might entail determining whether a client's customers have accrued and remitted tax, the customers' current audit status, and possible back billing of taxes. We customise each project to maximise client value and simultaneously interact with multiple jurisdictions, so we can efficiently complete the engagement. In all instances, our clients receive a closing agreement or a signed agreement with each tax jurisdiction to clearly define their exposure.
Services Provided
Ryan assists clients in registering and settling past taxes, if applicable, and paying the correct amount required under each jurisdiction's VDA programme. We are often able to negotiate prospective agreements when our client's fact pattern presents the opportunity. Our Voluntary Disclosure and Registration services include:
- Customer examinations for tax accrued, remitted, and audit status
- Exposure identification and calculation
- Payment remittance
- Prospective agreement negotiation
- Registration and past tax settlement
- Tax minimisation strategies

Third Time At The Big Dance For ESPN
The memories of Brent Musburger, Suzy Kolber and Erik Kuselias have faded. Into the TV lives of NASCAR fans have come Dale Jarrett, Allen Bestwick and Nicole Manske. This season marks the third time that The Chase for the Championship is going to play-out on ABC and will be produced by the NASCAR on ESPN team.
Sunday at 10AM will start the day with Mike Massaro hosting the one hour preview edition of ESPN2's NASCAR Now. Massaro is in his first season as one of the hosts of this series. He will be joined by Boris Said in the studio while Marty Smith and Nicole Manske will both be reporting from New Hampshire.
Since ESPN made key changes to the studio talent, this series has become focused and informative. The Sunday morning preview show offers a significant amount of information without the hype of RaceDay or the scripted nature of the NASCAR Countdown show.
This year's Chase contains compelling stories and both Smith and Manske are solid at interviewing NASCAR personalities on location. Perhaps, viewers might be better served with Ricky Craven in the studio on the day of the first Chase race. The entire crew returns at 10PM to offer a one hour wrap-up show also on ESPN2.
When NASCAR goes head-to-head with the NFL at 1PM it will be Allen Bestwick leading the charge for ABC. He will be hosting the one hour version of NASCAR Countdown from the Infield Pit Studio. Bestwick will have his regular partners Rusty Wallace and Brad Daugherty along for both this show and for comments during the race.
Wallace is now at home in the infield for the Cup races and enjoys this role. He has the freedom to let his opinions fly without the hassle of calling an entire race from the booth. Teamed with NASCAR's unofficial cheerleader in Daugherty, Wallace enjoys stirring things up and does so on a regular basis.
While Bestwick and his team set the stage, it will once again fall to Jerry Punch to deliver a compelling live event to the ABC audience. Mike Joy called the Whelen Modified event on Saturday and then Rick Allen handled the truck series race. Punch calling the first Chase race should be the highlight of the weekend in New Hampshire.
As usual, the dependable Andy Petree and the versatile Dale Jarrett will be alongside of Punch for the race. This trio will take viewers through the final ten races and present the face of NASCAR to many new fans who may simply be tuning-in casually during NASCAR's playoffs.
It should be interesting to watch how the production team works to strike a balance between what is actually happening in the race and what is happening to the Chase drivers in the race. Those two situations are often very different.
The ESPN team has recently decided that in-car camera views and close-ups of the cars work better for High Definition TV viewers. The emphasis on these two production elements has resulted in several rather disjointed race telecasts. On the flat and crowded track in New Hampshire, neither of these elements works well.
The Whelen Modifieds started a full field of cars on Saturday. The director kept the cameras wide enough to see the racing in the field and used the low cameras to effectively convey the speed of the cars to the home viewer. The announcers followed the action on the track and kept the excitement level high. Fans who watched this race will be looking for the same on Sunday afternoon.
ESPN re-entered this sport in 2007 with a significant commitment of money, manpower and resources. This same TV team has been working all season long on the Nationwide telecasts to get ready for the big stage. Now, for the third year, it will be up to ESPN to bring the ten months of Sprint Cup Series racing to an end on a high note.

JD, It occurs to me that NASCAR really saves EESPN's bacon. What else could ABC/EESPN carry in the fall on Sunday that would have a chance of drawing a major audience against the NFL?

I'm glad someone is keeping track of the start-and-park platoon which is no less than fraud by NASCAR.
Another huge fraud involves a yellow flag, waved when Kyle Busch is too far ahead of the field, or to prevent Matt Kenseth from going a lap down.
NASCAR racing doesn't need such chicanery.
I've been a fan since Lee Petty was driving and Richard was a spectator!

Remember that the TV folks like to see positive comments to go along with the negative ones. Mom always told me to find something nice to say about everyone.
So bring a little sweet with the sour for our friends at ESPN. Remember, we're stuck with them for 5 more chases after this one.

Wasn't Happy Hour supposed to be broadcast live on ESPN2 yesterday? Instead we got some third-rate football game. Or was the re-broadcast at 6:00 all that was intended to be broadcast. God, how I miss DW and Fox. What a way to drive fans away. ESPEEEEEN is the pits.

ABC/ESPU is too much for me. I will listen to the 'real' race on MRN and know what is going on all around the track. The TV clowns are so keyed in on their own agenda that we see little and hear far too much that does not pertain to the race. Yes, it will be all about the chase guys. NASCAR wake up and smell the gasoline fumes. We are tired of being force fed lousy coverage on ESPU. Punch needs to retire.

Just a note for Anon 11:10...
Today's race is a PRN broadcast. Different styles with the on-air talent, but the descriptions of what's going on all around the track will be just as effective.
MRN is back at Dover next week.

AHECs, together with health professions schools, departments and programs, provide community placements, service learning opportunities and clinical experiences for medical, dental, physician assistant, nursing, pharmacy and allied health students in rural and urban underserved communities.
AHEC placements give students the opportunity to experience health care in a real-world setting far removed from their health science centers. They interact one-on-one with their future patient population in community health centers, county health departments, homeless clinics, local practitioners' offices and other community primary care sites. Students learn firsthand about economic and cultural barriers to care and the specific needs of underserved and ethnically diverse populations. Students who have experienced a rotation in a rural and/or underserved setting also perform better on board or standardized testing than students who did not participate in a rotation.
Local health care providers, acting as preceptors, benefit from the teaching experience while local areas receive thousands of hours of health care from students who bring up-to-the-minute health care innovation and education to the clinical experience.
AHECs, with their linkages to local community resources and organizations, are uniquely qualified to facilitate these placements. Current research has shown that health care professions students who have participated in these experiences have a better understanding of the complex needs of underserved communities. They are also motivated to provide additional community services and set up practices in similar areas after graduation.
The Colorado AHECs, collaborate to provide many educational opportunities for health professions students, including:

Advice on how to make a good presentation
Bring extra attention to the intonations of the voice
When we are beginners, we tend to forget, that the actual way we present things is at least as important as the subject of our presentation. However using the proper intonation takes time and lots of exercising. Here is a few things you can do in order to develop as a presenter.
- Enrol in presentation or acting classes. It will help you build up your self-confidence, hearing your own voice while talking to others and with that in mind, you will be able to work with the various intonations to bring more feelings in your voice.
- Remember, the majority of your audience will not pay too much attention to your slides, but only to what you have to say.
- Record your rehearsal, listen it back then learn from your mistakes and do it all over again until your intonation is on point.

In less than three weeks, Jake Pavelka's season of the "The Bachelor" On the Wings of Love," will premiere Monday, Jan 4th on ABC. The question on everyone's mind is did Jake find love? In a recent interview, Jake talks being the new Bachelor, the 25 amazing bachelorettes, relationship with Wes Hayden and more.
In a previous interview, Jake promised a dramatic and steamy season. And we love drama! Overall, it seems like Jake had a great experience and may have found his soul mate even though he didn't confirm or deny it.
Below are excerpts from Jake's interview:
Did you find someone special on the show?
I don't want to ruin the ending but I will say I stayed true to myself. From the very beginning, I went in and said very honestly if I find love, I'll come out engaged. If I don't find love and don't have that feeling, then I won't. I didn't promise a ring at the end of this and I stayed true to myself and didn't necessarily do what everybody wanted me to do.
What were the girls like?
All 25 women were absolutely amazing, very high caliber. All walks of life. Just incredible journeys. I'm sitting here just running different girls through my head and they were all amazing, really amazing.
What was your reaction when you were approached to be the next bachelor?
I did a back-flip on my front lawn. I was so excited. I was just really flattered and humbled to be considered and have it actually happen. I still can't believe that all of this happened.
What made you decide to do the Bachelor? Was there any one deciding factor?
The one deciding factor was how well Jill and Ed were matched up. Casting and producers knew Ed really well; they knew and loved Jillian with a mad passion. The way it feels when you're going through this journey is like your best friend that knows you setting you up with the perfect girl. In this case, it happens to be 25. You know how a lot of times in life, your best friend knows you but also knows this girl over here and they make a match and it ends up working. That's exactly what I saw in Jill's season and that was the determining factor.
Jillian very famously had some steamy scenes during her seasons that she said she had to apologize to her dad for. Are you in the same position to apologize to your parents for any steamy scenes?
In a normal dating relationship, would you get into a hot tub in a swimsuit with a girl? Yes. I've done that in past relationships. Why would I not do that now and give the relationship every chance I can? I don't think I have anything to apologize for. I'm very confident with how I handled myself on the show.

He has sold 75 million albums to date and is one of the best-selling music artists in the world. In addition to his status as a top-selling recording artist, Shakur was a promising actor and a social activist. Most of Shakur's songs are about growing up amid violence and hardship in ghettos, racism, problems in society and conflicts with other rappers. Shakur's work is known for advocating political, economic, social and racial equality. Shakur was initially a roadie and backup dancer for the alternative hip hop group Digital Underground.

With a daughter and several Second Life friends using Macs, I'd like to hear suggestions from my DearREADERS about Mac genealogy software.
I'm particularly interested in software that will sync with newFamilySearch. Sere Current Certified Software Affiliates at the FamilySearch development website.
I know the old standby is Reunion, but their website doesn't indicate they are working toward syncing with FamilySearch, nor is the software listed on the FamilySearch development website.
MacFamilyTree IS listed as currently certified. What do you Mac users think about MacFamilyTree, currently in version 6 with additional FamilySearch beta testing going on now?
Are there alternatives?
I am not interested in genealogy software using a Windows emulator, unless there is a compelling reason of which I am unaware.
Please post your comments on my blog.
Happy family tree climbing!

A Return to the Happiest Place on Earth
Posted by Unknown | | Posted On Tuesday, December 31, 2013 at 7:39 PM
So the best time of the year at Disney is probably the Fall and Christmas time! I love the decorations! I could sit on the curb at Main Street U.S.A. and eat peanut butter chocolate cupcakes and smell the fragrance of coffee while just being mesmerized by the Christmas lights and the lights on Cinderella's castle.
Maggie Beth and I starred in the Enchanted Tales with Belle, Maggie Beth was Felipe from Beauty and the Beast and I was a plate! Maggie Beth was so adorable in her little camoflage shirt with all the other little girls in their princess gear! She is just too funny! I love it!
When it was her turn to go up and be Felipe, she neighed softly.
It was too cute!
Maggie Beth conquered Space Mountain! She is one brave kid! Her and Hezekiah go wild after those roller coasters! They just say how awesome it is and give all these thumbs up and high fives!
Eli loves them too, but he is a bit more laid back! He likes to produce funny comments such as, "Extra Large Ariel at 12 o'clock, " and "Now, those are good special effects."
He reminds me so much of Page.
We also conquered Big Thunder Mountain in the evening!
Again cheers all around! I might be raising roller coaster adrenaline junkies!
Here are those magical lights that I enjoy so much! Beautiful!!!
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to the Happiest Place on Earth!

Anyone looking to spend even more on a Panasonic LX5 might just have had their day made by Leica who has announced two cases made by Paul Smith to go with the compact re-badge that is the Leica D-Lux 5.
From somewhere between the English fashion designer and the German camera company's good names, and the fact that there are only going to be a limited number of these things made, pops the price tag of £200 a go.
The two designs are essentially one for each sex with 150 in smooth chocolate brown leather (men's) and 150 in light grey mock-croc (women's). Typically, when Pocket-lint popped over to the Leica Store in Mayfair to take a closer look, it seemed that both sexes alike preferred the chocolate brown.
Both cases are finished with a plush purple crushed velvet on the inside and a nice little signature on the back to remind you and any interested party just which brands you can afford to be shopping for. For our pick, like the crowds, it'd have to be the brown one with the typically Paul Smith striping down the side. To be straight though, neither of them look as nice as the classic tan leather case which you can pick up for £92.

Still, all are available for perusal down at the Leica Store in swanky London's most swanky bits. Do go and take a look at them along with the rest of the camera porn on display.

text: ERNI has developed the MicroSpeed high-speed board-to-board connector system with a 1.0-mm pitch. The MicroSpeed connector system is capable of speeds up to 10 Gbps and is available in mezzanine, right angle and coplanar configurations. The open pin field design of the MicroSpeed connector can accommodate differential or single-ended signals, while maintaining maximum performance speed. An added security measure for system integration is afforded by the generous mis-mating allowances of the unique contact design, which provides a longitudinal-misalignment tolerance of ±0.7 mm and angular-misalignment tolerance of up to 4°. The MicroSpeed connector system yields excellent RF signal characteristics. The rows of signal pins in the board-to-board configuration are shielded on the perimeter of the connector body and can be optimized for high impedance signal transmissions. The MicroSpeed connector system is also available in blind mating versions for demanding applications where ruggedness and flexibility are necessary. Guide elements in the plug side and improved lead-in for receptacle mating ensures proper alignment and secure connections on the first attempt. "The MicroSpeed connector is unlike other products on the market in that its female contacts incorporate two points of contact, ensuring reliability and a unique design that guarantees up to 500 mating cycles," said Sam Hines, product coordinator at ERNI. "The availability of this connector system in three different configurations also allows for engineers to replace existing connectors in a number of different devices with this superior design." Microspeed connectors are available in both SMT and SMT/THR termination styles. The SMT/THR style uses traditional SMT contacts but THR for the perimeter shield, which provides excellent board retention and strain relief should the application require high stack heights, or if the connector is integrated within a system of heavy daughter cards. The connector body incorporates polarized board locating pegs for easy, error-free placement and processing. ERNI leads are formed as an integral part of the stamping die, as opposed to other leads that are bent and stamped for SMT termination. This innovative process guarantees coplanarity of 0.1 mm and virtually eliminates processing defects. MicroSpeed connector systems are available in board-to-board configuration with 50, 91, and 133 positions and in mezzanine configurations with stack heights from 5mm to 20mm in 1-mm increments. Typical pricing starts at $6.00 for a 50-position connector with a lead time of six weeks. ERNI

(Reuters) - Enterprise technology maker JDA Software Group Inc is exploring a sale and has hired JPMorgan Chase & Co to advise on the process, people familiar with the matter said.
The sale process is at an advanced stage. The company has received interest from multiple parties, including private equity firms and strategic buyers, the sources said.
JDA Software, which has a market capitalization of $1.5 billion, provides customized software applications to customers ranging from government and aerospace defense contractors to hospitality and media organizations.
Representatives for the company declined to comment. JPMorgan was not immediately available for comment.
In March, JDA Software disclosed in a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) that it would delay its annual report for year ending December 31, 2011, citing a continual inquiry from the staff of the SEC's division of Enforcement and Corporation Finance over accounting matters relating to the company's financial statements.
In August, JDA Software restated its financial statements for the year ending December 31, 2011.
Also in March, New York-based Praesidium Investment Management Company LLC, also disclosed that it had taken a stake in the company and said it expected to engage in communications with members of the company's board of directors, shareholders and other relevant parties concerning the business, management and operations.
Praesidium, the largest shareholder of JDA software, has over the last several months increased its equity stake to 8.9 percent. Praesidium is run by Kevin Oram and Peter Uddo. (Additional Reporting by Sakthi Prasad in Bangalore; Editing by Rodney Joyce)

Dear Abby
DEAR ABBY: My children's nanny, "Daisy," has been with us for more than two years. She's not the best, but I know I could do a lot worse. The most important thing is my children adore her and she is used to our routine. By and large, I'm happy to have her. However, I have two pet peeves I don't know how to address.
Daisy is always late. Not by much, mind you -- but it is consistent. She's at least five minutes late every single day. Maybe it shouldn't bother me so much, but it does. I never dock her pay for tardiness, and I always pay her on time.
To me, it's a reflection of how important she views her job. I feel it is disrespectful. The kicker is, Daisy is studying to be a nurse. I have told her unless she breaks this bad habit, she'll be fired from a future nursing job.
The second thing is, on hot, humid days, Daisy has the worst body odor imaginable. When the weather is cool, she doesn't smell, but once sticky weather arrives, the wall of stench is enough to make my nose hairs curl. One day it made me physically ill and I had to excuse her for the day without explaining why.
How should I address these problems? Or am I making too big a deal out of this? -- HAVING ISSUES IN VIRGINIA
DEAR HAVING ISSUES: Daisy may not be the best employee, but a good employer makes clear what the ground rules are when someone is hired. Because you're a stickler for punctuality, remind Daisy about what her hours are and stress that you expect her to be on time or risk having her pay docked. (If she uses public transportation, there should be some flexibility, but because she's late every day she should be told she needs to leave home a few minutes earlier.)
As to her personal hygiene issue, address it directly. Tell her you expect her to have showered, used deodorant and put on fresh clothes before coming to work -- especially in the summer.
Helpful hint: When you hire someone, have a list of written rules prepared for the individual to read and sign so there will be no misunderstandings. Doing that is being an effective boss.
DEAR ABBY: I am going to a concert by a popular band. My brother and my cousin always make fun of this band. People commenting online also post mean things about them. I know they have a right to their own opinions, but I don't get the same reactions when I talk about or listen to other popular music.
Did people do this 10 or 20 years ago? Do they think it's cool to express hatred about mainstream musicians? Maybe the more popular something is, the more people there are having negative feelings toward it. -- FREE TO LISTEN AT 13
DEAR FREE TO LISTEN: There is always a degree of backlash against hugely popular entertainers because some people think it's more "cool" to be a fan of a new, upcoming band. Years ago, some people loved the Beatles and hated the Rolling Stones, and vice versa. The behavior you describe has been going on ever since the music business began.

Cotton Bird Designs makes the cutest little birds. I especially love these little newspaper birds.
Under the Table and Dreaming makes this cute wreath out of recycled book pages. You could do the same thing using newspaper.
A Storybook Life teaches how to make these beautiful beads from recycled newspaper.
Check out this dress from the Recycled Runway event on All Things Paper. I can't believe that it was made out of newspaper.
I love this newspaper basket from Craft Stylish. Even though it looks like it would be difficult to make, there is a very helpful tutorial that looks pretty simple to follow.
I am fascinated by this newspaper jewelry from Newspaperjewelry.com. I love the juxtaposition of expensive Swarovski crystals and free and common newspaper.
Did you know that you can even use newspaper as wallpaper? I love how this looks. It is so interesting and beautiful. Source: You Have Been Here Sometime.
These newspaper yo-yo flowers from Zakka Life are very cute. They would look cute on greeting cards or as gift wrapping.

Case law vs. Case settled
As we all know, caselaw is a case that goes through the complete judicial system, ending in some type of ruling or judgment.
Caselaw can play a significant role in "proving" you case.
My question is this;
I've found a case that mirrors approximately 85% of the circumstances, violations and claims that I currently have pending in a lawsuit in Federal Court.
Tenant's vacated an apartment complex, complex sent notice they owe $993 for damage to carpeting that needed to be replaced. Tenant denied liability, complex signed a "affidavit of truth" and forwarded claim for continued collection to a CA, who pulled credit reports, in some cases, reported claims on tenants' credit reports.
Husband and wife plaintiff's claim violations of FCRA, RICO Statutes, mail fraud, invasion of privacy, etc. The petition for "class certification" which is granted by the Court.
This particular case was litigated for 4 years prior to an agreed settlement of $2.7 million dollars.
Would this type of case "hold any water" with regard to the Judgments made by the court through the 4 year litigation period?
The other issue is, can a settled case be obtained through Westlaw or Lexis?
I've got the Docket Report and 1 case between one of the defendant's and their insurance company, which refers to this case. Crocker, et al. v. Sunshine Corporation, et al.
Any help or input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Sure it would
If the case was decided and ruled upon, it would be advisable to get a copy of the ruling and use the arguments presented in your case.
As far as "holding any water" (called "authority" in legalese) it would depend on the court's jurisdiction (Small Claims, Superior, etc) on hearing the matter. Sounds like an unlimited civil case in the Superior Court due to the amount awarded. Wouldn't hurt to present it in a brief to add to your case.
Good Luck!

Hi IronLaw,
Nice to see you check in.
If you're a lawyer perhaps we could elicit your opinion on the following thread.
We're all having a tough time dealing with presentments from OC's, PRIOR to collections and/or delinquency.
PS. So sorry for the highjack Trixie.

Moved this thread from Legal & Reference because it's a QUESTION.
Doesn't case law have to do with WHICH CIRCUIT it was decided in? Unless it was the Supreme Court.

This case was filed in the District Court of Western Tennessee.
Because it was settled, I'm not clear on the strength of the decisions rendered "within" the case prior to settlement.
Christine, as you well know my issues, the judge denied the apartment complex's motion for summary judgment with regard to the FCRA violations.
I e-mailed the clerk of the court and my attorney (still waiting response) to see how I can get copies of all the proceedings from complaint to settlement. I'll keep everyone advised.
At the very least, it will provide a more than "solid" defense to summary judgment, if necessary.
To find caselaw within your circuit carries a lot of weight. But any caselaw that "reflects" the same issues, regardless of the circuit, is also good.

I'll give a quick primer on the relevency of case law.
We have two separate court systems in this country, the federal system and the state systems for each individual state.
The federal system is composed of the US District Courts (organized by state, i.e. the geographical boundaries of a district court will be contained fully within a state), above that are the US Circuit Courts of Appeal (which will include in its jurisdiction the district courts from various states), and above that is the US Supreme Court, which covers the entire country. (There are numerous other types of federal courts, i.e bankruptcy courts, but I'll keep this as simple as I can)
In the states, you usually have trial courts (circuit or district courts) which are ususlly organized by county. Above that, some states, but not all, have Courts of Appeal, which typically cover the entire state but sometimes only a number of counties, and the state's Supreme Court, covering the entire state.
A Court opinion is a written decision made by a court. This is what we usually mean by case law.
A Court's opinion is binding on any court that 1) falls within its geographical reach, 2) is lower on the chain that the deciding court, and 3) both courts are in the same system (i.e. state or federal).
For example, the 4th Circuit (fed) contains all the fed district courts in the states of NC, SC, VA, WV, and MD. If the 4th Circuit makes a binding decision, all the district courts in those states are bound to follow it. The 4th Circuit's decision is authoritative within its jurisdiction.
However, a district or circuit court that is not in the 4th Circuit, say the Eastern District Court of NY, is not bound to follow that decision. If the decision is relevant to what the court is considering, they may review the case, but they are under no obligation or duty to follow it, or even mention it in their decision. Then again, they may be so convinced by the opinion that they decide to adopt it in full. The point is that they don't have to do anything with it they don't want to.
Usually, the federal courts deal only with questions of federal law and the state courts deal only with questions of state law. However, sometimes this gets mixed up, with a state court interpreting federal law or a federal court interpreting state law.
If a federal court is interpreting state law, then that decision has no binding affect on any court except for the federal courts in that state that are below that federal court, if any. For example, an automobile accident case is tried in the Eastern District of NC (because of diversity jurisdiction). The District court will be applying NC state law to determine the case. Lets say this case is then appealed to the 4th Circuit. The 4th Circuit will be applying NC law as well. However, its decision will not bind any of the NC state courts, because the NC state Supreme Court is the final arbitrer of NC state law. But the 4th Circuit's interpretation of NC state law will bind the NC federal District Courts in their interpretation of NC state law (subject to the overpowering decisions of the NC state courts of appeals).
Still, the NC Supreme court may look at the 4th circuit's decision and consider it very persuasive.
On the other hand, a state court interpreting federal law has no binding affect on any federal court. It will be binding on the lower state courts, so long as there is no overpowering decision by a federal district or circuit court that includes that state court.
Confused yet?
State courts are of course not binding on the courts of any other state.
Also, trial court decisions (orders and judgments) have virtually no weight on another court. You could maybe use them as an example of how to rule, but they can only be persuasive and are never authoritative. Generally though, they just aren't used. Better off to find cases from an appeals court in another state than to use written orders from a trial court.
Written opinions by a trial court have very little weight even in that trial courts jurisdiction. In the Southern District of WV, there is an amazing split on a very important issue among all the judges in the district. Each judge has his own way of dealing with the issue, and they have each written official decisions on this. However, none of them are authoritative on anybody.
Also, sometimes a written opinion just isn't binding on anybody at all. A decision that is "per curiam" (i.e. "for the court") has no weight in some jurisdictions. A per curiam decision is not attributed to any particular justice, but rather it is just a statement by the entire court. In some states, these have no precedential value at all. In others, they carry the full weight of a written opinion. These kinds of decisions are usually based on procedural matters and are more directions to the lower courts on how to deal with the present case, rather than a substantive change to the law.
Sorry if thats confusing, but maybe that will help ya'll understand how important a case is and whether it can be useful to you.

Lawguy, thank you VERY much!
I think most consumers have a totally wrong idea about case law. Fortunately, many collection attorneys don't know very much either, and sometimes it's helpful in negotiations to quote favorable RECENT decisions.
I like to quote that $5 mill verdict against TU because it's so encouraging (anyone have a update on appeal or settlement?), and it's great to find any decisions against the particular company you're having a dispute with.
But all too often Pro Se consumers are way off and our postings here are the blind leading the lame
Thanks for the clarification, NOW this thread goes back to Legal & REFERENCE.
If anyone has any follow up question, please copy/paste and start a new thread in Q & A.
