To cultivate a culture of preparedness for individuals, communities, and organizations to enhance their preparedness and response capacity for emergencies in collaboration with state and local health agencies, local emergency managers, and community based organizations.
In August 2005, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) designated Loma Linda University School of Public Health as a Center for Public Health Preparedness (LLU CPHP) in collaboration with the Association of Schools of Public Health (ASPH) nationwide network.
As an academic institution, the primary functions and activities of the CPHP are to provide disaster preparedness/bioterrorism planning and training to community partners; build relationships with governmental organizations, as well as faith-based organizations (FBO) and community-based organizations ( | CBO); and to aid in training Native American tribes and affiliates in disaster preparedness, response, mitigation, and recovery.

The term "potluck" was coined over 500 years ago, putting a label on the concept of a communal meal where each guest brings a dish to share. The idea was that if everyone brought a little something, there'd be a little something for everyone. The practice caught on and has been flourishing in church basements ever since.
The feast known as potluck conjures up images of casseroles, slow cookers, pans of brownies, peanut butter krispie bars and, of course, Jello. Lots and lots of Jello.
Although I am able to make Jello, I don't often offer it up at potlucks. I prefer getting creative with savory dishes and therein lies my downfall. I am a potluck failure.
I start with the best intentions. I fully plan to make a dish that fits in amidst the chicken and rice casseroles and baked bean hot dishes. Then I start cooking.
When I'm | in the kitchen, I get caught up in the moment. I find it impossible to follow a recipe and instead practice the "little bit of this, little bit of that" system of cooking. I call it the energizer method, because I tend to keep going and going.

Although it is a dangerous business to select a passage from a Shakespeare play and hold it up as a mouthpiece of the poet, there are nevertheless a few key passages that seem to express the bard's own thoughts on the creative process.

"We haven't spent as much time with your baby as you have. We might not have read your deck completely."

What advice does Perfect World's VP of biz dev have for developers who pitch their games to him? Like the old saying goes: Keep it simple, stupid.

AMERICA/COLOMBIA - "Dignity and rights of indigenous peoples must be protected from violence" Holy Father’s Letter
Bogota (Agenzia Fides) - "With deep love for all and in tune with the social doctrine of the Church, I invite you to listen to the voice of our brothers and sisters without prejudice, to favour true knowledge of their history and their way of being, as well as to enhance their participation in all spheres of society and the Church. The current situation is providential until the way, the truth and the life for all mankind, the desire to safeguard the dignity and rights of indigenous peoples and the latter, in turn, are more willing to comply with their duties, in accordance with their own ancestral traditions grow among the pastors and the faithful."
These are the Holy Father Benedict XVI's words in the letter sent to His Exc. Mgr.

I'm working on a lab for a course I have on VHDL, and part of it is to implement an n-bit ripple carry adder and then test it as a 16 bit adder.

My | first thought was that since the adder is just a bunch of identical full adders chained together, if I could show that the individual adder blocks work fine, then it would be trivial to show that the 16 bit adder worked properly since it has such a simple design.

Beauty Road Test: Get Flawless Complexion Perfection With Urban Decay
Don’t have perfect skin? Fake it with Urban Decay’s Primer Potion, Naked Skin Makeup, and Good Karma Optical Blurring Brush!
Do you have less than perfect skin? Me too. But even those of us with oily, blemish-prone skin can fake a perfect complexion—as long as we have the right products and tools on hand to do it.
Urban Decay to the rescue! When a whole bunch of the edgy cosmetic company’s products ended up in our mailbox, I couldn’t wait to give them a road test. Ready to learn how to fake a flawless look? Here we go!
First things first: Primer. I’ll admit that primers aren’t generally a part of my makeup routine (the Body Shop Tea Tree Pore Minimizer I road tested recently was my first experience with them); but I’m kind of intrigued by the idea all the same. If you’re going to paint a wall, you need to prime it, so it stands to reason that the same would be true if you’re going to paint your face, right?

The secret ingredient? Olea Europaea—or, olive fruit oil for us plebs. It conditions and hydrates skin while keeping it shine-free. And you know what? It works!

VORSELAAR, Belgium _ A brass band waited outside the church, the musicians bundled in overcoats and scarves against a gray morning. Someone hoisted a ceremonial flag as we proceeded down cobblestone streets in this small town.
The air had turned cold enough to show our breath by the time we passed through an iron gate to the cemetery, following a path that led to a headstone draped in a Canadian flag.
The mayor of Vorselaar said a few words in Flemish that my brothers and I did not understand, after which another man read from a prepared text. Soon enough, it was my father's turn.
In a quavering voice, he said, "Our gratitude goes beyond words."
His speech lasted less than four minutes and, before it ended, several of the townsfolk had tears in their eyes.

About the Program
This program will focus on arguably the most important case in FERPA history.
On December 2, 2011, the Department of Education implemented controversial regulations that would make it much easier for the government to track students from “cradle to grave.” Many of the privacy principles that had governed FERPA for decades were drastically changed.
This webinar will feature counsel for the Electronic Privacy Information Center discussing their lawsuit which challenges three key definitions in the Education Department’s 2011 regulations: “authorized representative,” “education program” and “directory information.”
Their main arguments include:
- The Education Department’s 2011 definitions for “authorized representative,” “education program” and “directory information” exceed the agency’s statutory authority and are not | entitled to Chevron deference.
- The disputed definitions are not in accordance with law because they are contrary to the FERPA’s plain meaning and not a permissible construction of the statute.
There will be plenty of time for Q & A.

Hi all, so this will be my first build. The computer will be used primarily for everyday activities (including editing HD videos of my kid). I will play a game or two each year, but I'm not a hardcore gamer. Therefore I'm spending a little less on the GPU compared to the CPU and RAM. Here's what I've got so far (looking to spend about $1100). I need help with the RAM and Mobo.
I'm not interested in overclocking and the only potential upgrade I could foresee in the next few years would be adding an SLI card.
I like quiet and low power consumption over all else!
Thank you, vindictive! I was just about to bump this thread since it sort of got lost in the onslaught of new build threads yesterday. But | since then I'd done a lot of research and landed on a few choices. I will have to compare to what you picked. What do you think of the memory and power supply?
Memory: G.Skill 6gb, ddr3 1600, cas 9 - it's cas9 but runs at 1600 and is lower voltage than most.
Power supply: Antec earthwatts 650 - Good psu? My only concern is this might not power my rig if I added another 460 down the line.
memory: Tighter timings is better than higher frequencies because you can buy DDR3 133 | [

“Picking Cotton,” the true story of an unlikely friendship
between a woman and the innocent man she sent to prison, will be the 2010
summer reading book at Carolina.
As part of its Summer Reading Program, the University asks
all first-year and incoming transfer students to read a book the summer before
they enroll and participate in small group discussions about it, led by faculty
and staff, the day before classes begin.
A nine-member selection committee of students, faculty and
staff began meeting last fall to consider books for the program, now in its
12th year. They chose “Picking Cotton” on Jan. 25 in a unanimous vote.
The book was written by the reconciled pair, Jennifer
Thompson-Cannino and Ronald Cotton – both of North Carolina – with
help from writer
Jennifer Thompson was 22 and a college student in 1984, when
an African-American man broke into her North Carolina apartment and raped her
at knifepoint. Thompson, who is white, subsequently picked Cotton, then | 22, out
of a line-up. He went to prison on a life sentence, proclaiming his innocence.
Eleven years later, Cotton was allowed to make use of a new
technology and take a DNA test; it proved that he did not commit the crime. UNC
law professor Richard Rosen was one of two lawyers who represented Cotton pro
bono during this time.
Two years after his release, Cotton and Thompson-Cannino
met, and Cotton unreservedly forgave her.

"Mr Go 3D" will be the Most Expensive Korean Movie
Mister Go is a South-Korean stereoscopic 3D movie directed by Kim Yong-Hwa and written by Huh Young-Man. The movie tells the story of a gorilla becoming a baseball pro. Josie Xu (aka Xu Jiao), the young actress from CJ7 and Starry Starry Night, will play the lead role as a Chinese-Korean girl who befriends the sport-savvy primate.(see picture below).
The ambitious live action film was shot in stereoscopic 3D and will utilize a combination of motion capture performances and digital effects. Its $20 million budget makes it one of the most expensive South Korean films of all time.
Release is scheduled for summer | 2013.

Based on a popular Korean comic, Mr. Go 3D is a sports comedy that tells the story of a troublemaker gorilla from a chinese circus named "Zoo-Zoo" becomes a superstar for a professional baseball team after going through many complications. All the while, his keeper Mi-mi always has her hands full.

There are other examples of errant photo scoops. There was the U.K. paper that had to pulp over 100,000 copies of an issue because it thought it had a scoop with the photo of the so-called “Lotto rapist.” Or the Brazilian paper that mistook a photo from a film shoot for a candid shot of heavily-armed drug traffickers in action.
At their core, photo scoops are usually about media self-glorification rather than providing essential news. If Kim Jong Un really is going to be the next leader of North Korea, he’ll show his face at some point.
Revealing him to the world is a great way to make news, but so too is being wrong about it.

About 100 years ago, a group of very affluent elites that included the JP Morgan dynasty, the Rockefeller dynasty, the Rothschild’s from Europe, and the Warburgs from Germany set into motion a plan to create a world system of financial control in private hands able to dominate the political systems of each country and the economy of the world.
In short they seek total and quiet control over the entire world, basically using Great Britain as a nucleus of its system, which also would be joined with the US under the Anglo-American establishment.
The elites wrote about the changes of culture that they would actually design, implement, and bring in over a 100-year period.

Tony Award nominee Dee Hoty has stepped in for an injured Lucie Arnaz in the North Shore Music Theatre production of 9 to 5: The Musical, which officially opens Sept. 26 in Beverly, MA.
Arnaz (They're Playing Our Song, The Witches of Eastwick) was cast as Violet, opposite Holly Davis as Judy Bernley and Shayla Osborn as Doralee Rhodes. Hoty (Follies, The Will Rogers Follies) performed the role of Violet on the national tour of 9 to 5 in 2010.

ADRIAN, Mich. — Wisconsin-Eau Claire started out strong on the first day of the Adrian Thanksgiving Tournament as it defeated host No. 4 Adrian 2-1 on Saturday.
Adrian got the game going in the first period when it scored the first goal of the day, a power play goal, at 7:22 after Bryce Wilcox was called for high sticking.
Adrian maintained its lead all the way up until 15:55 when Jon Waggoner found the back of the net on passes from Jared Williams and Devin Mantha. The tying goal came on the power play after three Bulldogs were called for penalties in a four-minute time span.
A little over two minutes into the second period, Blugold defenseman Tyler Romasco got his first goal of the season to pull the Blugolds ahead 2-1. At the same time of the goal, Adrian player Grant Telfer was given | a five-minute major for boarding and then was given a 10-minute disqualification.
The Blugolds were able to hold onto its one-goal lead all the way to the end of the game to beat the No. 4 Bulldogs 2-1 and improve their record to 5-4-0.
On the day, the Blugolds outshot the Bulldogs 27-18. Goalie Brandon Stephenson collected 17 saves and improves to 3-3 | [

- By David Hubler

L-3 Communications will supply the Transportation Security Administration with advanced screening technology under an indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity contract worth $164.7 million.
The award calls for L-3 to supply the agency with millimeter wave (MMW) advanced imaging technology systems to screen for explosives and other threats at security checkpoints.
This contract makes L-3 eligible for future delivery orders for its ProVision MMW system, L-3 said in a statement today.
The technology used in the ProVision system utilizes safe | , harmless radio waves to detect threats that might be hidden under a passenger’s clothing.

There will be many things that people will be waiting to see Sunday when the Cards finally kick off against the Bills – how the Cards’ run game looks, whether the Bills have recovered from a couple of historical beat-downs – but from the Cardinals’ side of the fence, it’ll be Arizona’s first few pass plays that will be under the microscope. The Bills won’t have (struggling) defensive end Mark Anderson, although they do have (struggling) defensive tackle Marcell Dareus and (struggling) defensive end Mario Williams.

Based on the US 'Cyber Monday' sale, which now attracts over 10 million buyers, ClickFrenzy was designed to entice Australian online shoppers to buy from local online retailers by offering massive discounts on product prices for a short period of time.

One Artist’s Creative Canvas of Recovery
Story By Lisa Pogue, Paintings by Kathi Peters
It’s been five years since Kathi
Peters, 64, stepped out of the car at her brother’s 70th birthday party in New
Hampshire to a warm reception of hugs and smiles, and suddenly couldn’t feel
her right arm or hand.
“I felt a bit weird,
but started to talk with one of my sisters-in-law. She was talking to me but I
couldn’t understand what she was saying,”
Peters recalls. “Her words
sounded like dogs talking to me…grrrararaaaaah. I thought something was wrong
called 9-1-1 and Peters was taken to a nearby hospital and then transported to
a facility in Portland, Maine, closer to her family’s small horse farm in rural
Morrill. The 59-year-old artist had suffered an ischemic stroke that left her
unable to speak or use the right side of her body.
Peters describes the
days following her stroke as surreal and full of doctors, tests and needles.
She slept a lot and was told that, because of her aphasia, she wouldn’t be able
| to speak well or find words easily.
“I wondered what was
going to happen to our horses, our farm, our life. But the biggest question on
my mind was could I still draw? Paint?” she says. After multiple attempts at
asking her nurse and husband for a pencil and paper, they finally figured out
what she was asking for and handed her the requested materials. Peters first
drew an eye, then a horse’s head, then a glass. Ecstatic inside, she felt a
sense of relief.

Ever since the regrettable Blueberry Goo incident, I’ve avoided slow cooker sweets. However, I recently attended a crockpot potluck supper and was delegated dessert. Not one to let the team down, I stepped up to the challenge.
I thought this would be the perfect opportunity to test a new and highly recommended slow cooker cookbook. After rejecting Orchard Crumble with its ill-conceived oatmeal topping and boring Apple Sauce, I picked Raisin Bread Pudding. The cinnamon and nutmeg spicing sounded good and the splash of brandy didn’t hurt the cause either. Having assembled my ingredients, I proceeded to prove my theory on crockpot desserts.
Despite following the instructions to the letter (okay, I used walnuts instead of pecans) the dish burned. Yes, I burned something in a crockpot. The entire reason people buy crockpots is so they can leave a | dish unattended all day and come home to a tasty, moist, unburned meal. But in less than three hours the entire bottom inch of pudding was welded to the liner and was three full shades darker than then rest of the dish.
Looking back, I wonder if the author slipped this dish into the book thinking no one would try it. After all, the recipe only takes 2 1/2 hours, which defeats the cook-while-you’re-working-nine-to-five purpose | [

Ask Marilyn: You and Your Vocabulary

Question: Why can I understand programs about complicated or philosophical subjects when I struggle for the right words and a more sophisticated | level of conversation myself?
Answer: You're normal. Educators define four categories of vocabulary: Our reading vocabulary is the largest by far, followed by our listening vocabulary. Our speaking vocabulary is much smaller, followed by a much, much smaller writing vocabulary.
The more demanding the category, the smaller it is. To listen, one need only rapidly recognize the word as the speaker voiced it and comprehend its meaning in context. To speak, one must recall the particular word without prompting and insert it instantly into the appropriate context. That's much more difficult.

In the past few years, Israel’s security fence has become a major tourist attraction for leftist protesters appalled at the Jewish state’s chutzpah in erecting an obstruction against the Palestinian suicide bombers. The fence has been a major success and an integral factor in the defeat of the Palestinian terror offensive dubbed the second intifada, which took the lives of more than 1,000 Israelis earlier in the decade.
But those who want to demonstrate against barriers to keep the Palestinians from wreaking havoc on the region need not go to Israel these days.

Ladies and gentleman, I would like to introduce my dear friend, Bernard.
We met at the Bayou City Farmers’ Market two weeks ago. This unassuming, unidentified squash is something of a country bumpkin, so he’s a little shy around the camera. Fortunately, I convinced him to share his good side with you.
Then I sneaked this shot of his bad side when he wasn’t looking. Shhhh…don’t tell.
Now, you might be thinking, “Gee, this Bernard guy doesn’t look like the brightest gourd in the garden.”

This is one sneaky squash. I mentioned before that he is unidentified (stupid me forgot to ask the farmer what kind of vegetable I was buying!).

“Investment is the art of the specific and selection is far more important than timing.”
Of the stalwarts of stock market investing, Jim Slater’s enduring appeal to UK private investors perhaps owes the most to his obvious affection for good companies. For the former City corporate raider, broadsheet columnist and children’s author, growth companies require careful and considered selection. After all, while buying into a growth story at the right moment and at the right price is paramount, these are companies that an investor could conceivably keep in a portfolio for very many years – come bulls and bears.
Never short of a forthright view and always amenable to sharing his views on stocks, Slater’s 1992 book The Zulu Principle has gone on to become a modern classic amongst private investors. In it, he not only sets out a carefully calibrated technique for measuring a company’s growth potential but he also encourages investors to do their own digging, to read | between the lines and interpret information in a way that will give them an edge.
His approach starts by sieving the market for potential growth stock candidates and identifying which of them are attractively priced. The first hurdle for any company is ownership of a proven record of earnings per share (EPS) growth together with broker forecasts that the growth will continue by at least 15% over the next couple of years. “This gives you an ar | [

2D support for the nv3 and up (everything from the Riva to now, basically) is available in Xorg in the
Currently NVIDIA 3D DRI development is being done in the Nouveau project, which is rewriting the DDX driver (
nv is provided by NVIDIA and is obfuscated, new
nouveau will replace it), co-operating with other teams to improve DRM architecture to support NVIDIA cards and writing 3D/DRI support on top of those.
nVidia provides their own closed-source binary drivers, which are not based on the DRI. DRI developers can not help you with issues with the closed drivers. A DRM module for nVidia hardware was developed as part of the EXA work for that chip. This is currently available in DRM CVS, but not in any mainline kernel. Full DRI support would require adding DRI awareness to the 2D driver, and porting the 3D driver from UtahGLX.
No support exists for the original nv1 chip anymore. For details, see NV1.
Hardware specs are not available. Some reverse engineering has been done and can be found | at RivaTV Riva128. More reverse engineering in Nouveau.
The hardware appears to be slightly more complex than your typical queue-up-the-vertices-and-fire card. There seems to be extensive state tracking in the hardware itself, which is probably used to optimize performance when multiple GL contexts are active.
