When it comes to family law matters- such as divorce, custody battles, or adoption- having the right attorney can make all the difference when it comes to the outcome of your case. Selecting a lawyer that has experience in your required field is vital.
"I have seen many cases where the opposing party selected an attorney who was a friend of the family, or maybe a lawyer who had previously assisted them with a criminal matter," says Linda Pizzini, Principle Attorney at Pizzini Law Firm in Yukon, OK. "Lawyers, like doctors, tend to focus on certain subjects, and a lawyer outside of their branch of knowledge or realm of experience is more likely to make mistakes. You are always going to be better off with an experienced family law attorney when it comes to matters involving divorce, custody, child support, paternity or adoption."
A graduate of the University Of Oklahoma College Of Law, Pizzini has been operating her own practice since 2009. She focuses on family law, more specifically adoptions, divorce, custody, child support, and modifications. In addition, she offers estate planning assistance, explicitly the creation of wills and trusts, Durable Power of Attorney, Advanced Healthcare Directive, and Living Wills.
We asked Pizzini what to look for in a lawyer. Pizzini tells us that it's important for an attorney to be accessible, honest, and straightforward. "If you have trouble getting them to meet with you, answer the phone, or respond to emails before you hire them, then there is a good chance they will be equally difficult to reach when you retain them," she says. You also want someone who understands your issues- and can be brutally honest if necessary, telling you the truth regarding your situation. "Our firm has a very good reputation because we genuinely care about our clients," Pizzini says. "We want to do the best job that we can for them, and answer their questions along the way."
Pizzini loves being a part of the Yukon, OK community. "Yukon is a wonderful small town," she says. "We have great schools and community involvement. It is a very safe town and still has the small town feel to it even though we are growing by leaps and bounds!"

"The Best Life Diet" question #3...
I have only been really successful at losing weight once. Other times I'd lose a few lbs here and there, but no more than 10 or 15 and it would come back pretty quickly. The one time I actually was doing well I had lost 50 lbs. The day after that weigh-in I flew to MN to attend my mother's 50th b-day party. I never saw that number on the scale again. So why did that happen? I believe it happened because I went back "home". Back to where I grew up, back to where I felt so unwanted by my family and everyone else around me, back to where everyone has always known me as the "fat girl", back to where the seeds of my deep unhappiness with my life began. Subconsciously I was reminded of why I don't feel like I deserve to get the things I want in life. I really think had I not gone on that trip I may have continued to lose. I haven't been able to truly get back on track ever since that trip. My self-confidence and self-esteem were shattered at a very young age and every time I turned around as a child I felt like I was being slapped in the face by how awful I was, so being back in that environment just took me right back to that dark place even if I wasn't conscious that I was going there. I started to believe at a very young age that I couldn't have the things I wanted or any sort of happines or I couldn't be the person I wanted to be, even when I wanted to change it felt like other people wouldn't let me, I begain to believe that I was doomed to failure and misery. So, even now I allow myself to fail over and over and over again because I don't really think I can have success or deserve to have happiness.
I did it!!!

Dara and Ed's Great Big Adventure
Given Top Gear's recent HR issues (you may have read about them), could Dara O'Briain and Ed Byrne be next in the driving seat? Probably not, if this rather tepid pass at a blokey celebrity road trip is anything to go by.
The show finds the Irishmen following in the tyre tracks of three Detroiters who, in the 1940s, became the first people to drive the Pan American Highway all the way to Panama.
This was quite a task in age when the Pan American Highway didn't actually… you know, exist – hence the plentiful archive footage of the trio's Plymouth sedan being winched up mountains and hauled across rivers by mules.
Today, the route is a well-maintained expressway cleaving through the Americas – which is great for local trade, less great for comedy TV travelogues. So the nearest thing to an actual incident we got here was Dara having an attack of the heebie-jeebies because Ed stopped the truck on a bridge – a moment of high drama not dissimilar to queueing for the tolls at the Dartford Crossing.
Instead, our heroes had to fall back on the laziest kind of cultural tourism which, this first episode being set in Mexico, involved drinking tequila, getting pinned to the floor by a lucha libre wrestler and being serenaded by a Mariachi band – who Ed, naturally, declared to be 'flatter than a tortilla'. I half expected a cameo from Speedy Gonzales.
At one point, it all went a bit I'm A Celebrity when Dara was forced to eat an iguana's head for breakfast. His verdict? 'It tastes like chicken.' Seriously, does every exotic meat taste like chicken? I can't help thinking if you asked Hannibal Lecter to describe eating a prison guard, he'd do that funny thing with his teeth and then say: 'It tastes like chicken.'
With Dara and Ed making for pleasant but not especially hilarious company, it was bit like being forced to endure a neighbour's holiday snaps. At least Clarkson and co would have tried the mule method, or blown something up for no good reason. Probably while wearing a sombrero and being offensive to the locals. Actually, yeah – maybe Ed and Dara aren't such a bad choice after all.
TV extra:
Kendra on Top
This slice of howling guff for people who find Keeping Up With The Kardashians too intellectually challenging may be the ultimate product of its time. Certainly it's hard to imagine a more 2015 scenario than a Playboy plaything-turned-reality TV star kicking her husband out after an alleged tryst with a transsexual YouTube model. Then, when a drone-mounted camera starts buzzing her house like an ITVBe version of Black Hawk Down, the I'm A Celeb star has the gall to whine about her loss of privacy. Hell, meet handcart.
What's life like for modern British teenagers? To find out, there's no need for expensive psychoanalysis – their thoughts and fears are there for all to see in the relentless crossfire of social media. In this excellent, eye-opening documentary, texts, tweets and WhatsApp messages scrolled across the screen like a particularly hormonal episode of Sherlock. 'Twitter beefs are the most entertaining thing in today's society,' declared 16-year-old wind-up merchant Harry. But as his friend Jess fell victim to vicious cyber-bullying, the joke didn't seem so funny any more. A cautionary tale, compellingly told.

Boyceville is a typical Wisconsin small town...about 1100 people, a main drag where small shops can still exist, and where high school basketball rules. The good people of Boyceville have honored their favorite son with a baseball diamond named in his honor.
The highlight of the field is the giant metal sign showing Andy swinging. Andy is shown as a Cub on the sign which is a little surprising since he spent just as much time as a Milwaukee Brave. Andy was most famously memorialized on the #1 card of the 1952 Topps set as a Brooklyn Dodger but I don't think that would fly in Boyceville.
The sign from another perspective:
I've also added a couple of cards to my Pafko collection...a 1956 that has seen better days. I'm pretty sure it looks like Pafko is out at home on that smaller image.
1956 Topps #312 Andy Pafko
I also picked up a cheap re-print which I wouldn't be surprised to see down at my local antique shop listed as "Andy Pafko '54 Topps -- MINT CONDITION!!!!!! $45"

Lunch is new prime time for watching network TV online
- 15 February, 2008 08:20
The most popular hours for watching network TV video online falls between noon and 2pm, and women are nearly twice as likely as men to be watching the video streams, according to a new type of study released by Nielsen Online.
Women between 18-34 accounted for 22 per cent of the time spent watching video streams available on network TV sites like ABC.com and NBC.com in December, according to VideoCensus, a new syndicated online measurement service from Nielsen that combines research from panels of users and server-based measurement. Men ages 18-34 accounted for 12 per cent of the online TV traffic, the study found.
Meanwhile, Nielsen said men between 18-24 were more than two and half times more likely than women to have viewed video streams shown at top four consumer-generated media Web sites, including YouTube and MySpace. In addition, while women were logging onto the network sites during the lunch hour, the most popular time for watching the consumer sites was 11pm and 6am on weekends, VideoCensus noted.
"Network Web sites are destinations for fans to deepen their experience -- they go to see favorite scenes, episodes and outtakes," said Michael Pond, media analyst at Nielsen Online, in a statement. "These viewers are very loyal and engaged, and the Web site is a place to become immersed in the program. With shorter clips and a viral nature, consumer-generated Web sites are much more about discovery, and consumers are likely to view content on more than one."
In December, 116.7 million unique viewers, or 73 per cent of active Web users, watched approximately 6.2 billion video streams, VideoCensus found. The average viewer spent nearly two hours and 10 minutes watching online video content during December.
The survey found that most popular video site in December was YouTube with 2.6 billion streams during the month, followed by Yahoo with 371.9 million streams and Fox Interactive Media with 364.1 million streams.
Turner Broadcasting System has been debating the accuracy of user panels and servers for years, noted Jack Wakshlag, chief research officer at TBS. VideoCensus' measurement technique ends the debate about the accuracy of the volume of TBS videos being watched online, he added.

The word Smart has been defined by many people in different periods of time. This definition has been taken forward by many avant grades to define the concept of Smart City. But there is still a question. What is actually a Smart City means? Alongside the definition there are many things that come to define smart city. It can therefore be taken as there is no definition of smart city. The definition of smart city varies according to the sense and the concept of the people. With the change that is taking place very day the definition of smart city also changes. From place to place to the country this definition changes with the change in time.
This definition of smart city is different in India with the definition of Europe and other countries. For an Indian people the definition of smart city means the new way of living. This living has the list of the things that he wishes to live with the best in class infrastructure and facilities. On the other hand for a rural people it means the development of all the systems that he/she has been acquainted with living. Therefore it can be said that the definition of smartness depends on the overall growth of the system in a very smarter way that really looks attractive.

Current approved medications to treat alcohol use disorders (AUD) are limited by their modest efficacy, suggesting a need for new therapeutic targets. A growing body of evidence has highlighted the importance of the interplay between alcohol's action and the neuroimmune pathways. Microglial cells are present throughout the CNS, and they have an important role in synaptic structure, function and connectivity. Microglia activation releases pro-inflammatory cytokines and chemokines, which regulate and influence the immune response. Medications that inhibit microglia activation may have utility as potential treatments for AUD. One such medication is minocycline, a tetracycline derivative antibiotic that also inhibits microglia activation and the release of pro-inflammatory cytokines, chemokines, and nitric oxide (NO) production. Previous animal studies suggest that minocycline may attenuate the reinforcing effects of alcohol. These findings are supported by human studies in other addictive disorders. In a recent study, we examined the effects of minocycline treatment on the acute physiological, behavioral and subjective responses to dextroamphetamine in healthy volunteers. . Minocycline treatment, 200mg/day for 5 days, compared to placebo attenuated subjective –rewarding effects and attenuated the amphetamine-induced cortisol increases in plasma and speeded reaction times on a Go No-Go task. In an ongoing study, we are evaluating the effects of minocycline (100 or 200 mg/day) or placebo pretreatment for 10 days. On days 8 and 10 of treatment, subjects have 2 laboratory sessions where alcohol or placebo will be administered intravenously using a clamp procedure. Alcohol administration will use a breath alcohol concentration (BrAc) method, targeting 100 mg %. The outcome measures including subjective, motor, cognitive measurement and plasma cytokine levels. On day 10, the participant will receive whichever dose (placebo or 0mg%) or alcohol (100mg%) that they did not receive on day 8. Currently 6 subjects have been randomized. Results from these studies will be presented.

Post Written By Sandie Glass, Owner of Innovation ROI
A Strategic Full Service Ideation & Research Company
Ideas are really solutions to your problems or issues. Every day we encounter something that needs to be fixed or improved upon in order to stay competitive in the marketplace. Sandstorm has developed marketing strategies tools, techniques and tricks to easily help you come up with new thoughts and ideas. We have been showing you how to utilize the dictionary – something everyone has readily available at home or at the office – and have been providing our perspective on these idea letters in this blog (if you happened to be a new reader). We are now up to the letter "O" in our A-Z of Creativity. "O" stands for OVER-THE-TOP, so let's get going!
OVER-THE-TOP is defined as "exceeding the normal bounds" or "extravagant or immoderate."
It is very subjective as to what constitutes an OVER-THE-TOP marketing strategy to each of us, but I tend to look at it as "ridiculously exaggerated to the point of being obvious" or put another way "causing uncontrollable hall-talk due to the extreme nature of the item." It's almost like these products or things are poking fun at themselves because they are so extreme and OVER-THE-TOP. There will always be someone that is amused by it, may possibly even purchase it, but honestly, I think it is primarily done for the PR it generates.
Some OVER-THE-TOP marketing strategies are easy to find when it comes to restaurants and food. The first thing I immediately thought of is the Man Vs. Food TV show starring Adam Richman. Adam eats his way across America competing in extreme food challenges, hoping to defeat these edible "beasts" – I mean "feasts."
The OVER-THE-TOP approach seems to work well for performers. Recall Madonna's early days and the current phenomena of Lady Gaga. Their OVER-THE-TOP dress, music, and theatrics differentiated them easily from other artists and gained them media attention they may not have gotten otherwise.
Here are a few other examples of the OVER-THE-TOP
Marketing Strategies
- The "Champion Dog" 1 Pound Hot Dog – Yes, it's true, everything's bigger in Texas, and Texas Rangers' fans can pay $26 at the concession stands for a 1 lb. hot dog that's nearly two feet long. By the time you add shredded cheese, chili, sautéed onions and fries, the entire plate could weigh two pounds – not to mention the weight you will gain eating it!
- The Lizardman – Erik Sprague altered his physical appearance as part of a transformation project while a college undergraduate working in body based performance art. He wanted to explore the idea of what it means to be human from a linguistic standpoint. Now a freak show and sideshow performer, Erik is best known for his body modification, including his sharpened teeth, full-body tattoo of green scales, bifurcated tongue, subdermal implants and green-inked lips. Believe it or not, despite his unusual appearance, he is happily married (with no plans to have children).
- Victoria's Secret Fantasy Bras – These blingtastic bras are adorned with precious gems amounting to millions of dollars and are featured at the yearly VS Fashion Show. This year, Miranda Kerr modeled the $2.5 million Fantasy Treasure bra. It's hard to imagine anyone would buy one of these – this is definitely done for the PR effect.
- Garden Fresh Gourmet Scream'n Hot Salsa – Whether it's salsa or hot sauce, some of us just can't get enough heat. If you are yearning for more, this salsa is the ultimate challenge. You can find this OVER-THE-TOP hot stuff in the refrigerated section in the produce section of your grocery store. The package even calls it "Wicked Hot!"
- Warheads Candy – This extreme sour hard candy is determined to make you pucker! This candy has many different layers and levels of sour. You first get hit by the outside coating of malic acid that creates an OVER-THE-TOP, intense sour taste that fades after about 20-40 seconds. The hard candy itself contains less sour ingredients. At the center of the hard candies is a small pocket of more malic acid. If you're up for the challenge, you might want to try them out.
So what about your product or service? Dissect your brand and list out each attribute line by line. Then take each attribute and push it to the extreme to come up with new ideas. Trust me…this isn't a waste of your time, it's always easier to bring a wild, outlandish idea "closer in" to something more realistic than attempting to stretch the concept into something totally different. When you've worked through your list, start a new one. Think about other OVER-THE-TOP products and services and start writing them down. Begin listing out those product attributes and add one of these attributes into your product or service to create something totally different. This is definitely an exercise worth doing to get you to some very new and different ideas. Good luck and let us know how this works for you!

Plaintiffs Appeal Dismissal of Securities Class Action Suit Against Presstek
Friday, November 05, 2004
Press release from the issuing companyHUDSON, N.H., Nov. 4 -- Presstek, Inc. today announced that the plaintiffs in the purported securities class action lawsuit brought against the company, its former Chief Executive Officer Robert W. Hallman, and its former Chief Financial Officer Neil Rossen, have filed an appeal of the U.S. District Court's recent dismissal of the suit. The lawsuit was allegedly brought on behalf of purchasers of Presstek's common stock during the period from December 10, 1999 through July 16, 2001, and was filed in June 2003 in the United States District Court for the District of New Hampshire. In October 2004, in a 47-page decision granting Presstek's motion to dismiss, Judge Steven McAuliffe of the U.S. District Court, found that each of the claims brought by the plaintiffs failed to allege a claim on which the Court could grant relief and the case was dismissed. The company continues to believe that the plaintiffs' allegations are without merit and intends to vigorously defend the appeal.

Spanish fashion retailer Desigual has experienced a nearly 25 % turnover growth in the first 6 months of 2014. Its net profit has grown nearly 50 % to 66.4 million euro.
International expansion
Desigual's total turnover grew 23 % to 452 million euro, while net profit grew 48 % - mainly thanks to the brand's international expansion with 45 new stores from January to June. It has opened its first stores in Peru, Mexico and Luxembourg in the past six months.
Its new store formula 'D-Shops Desigual Authorized Dealers' also performed extremely well: it is basically a franchise formula, giving retailers more freedom than normal to design their stores. The only prerequisite is that 80 % of the store is dedicated to Desigual products. Over the past 6 months, 46 stores of that nature opened. The formula is mainly geared towards stores in small and average-sized stores.

This stylish Pendant Lamp is made from reclaimed material from French railway wagons.
Made from reclaimed French Railway wagon oak combined with laser cut folded aluminium
This stylish Pendant Lamp is made from reclaimed French Railway wagon oak combined with laser cut folded aluminium.
The Oak used in this lamp once served as flooring and walls of French Railway Wagons. When we first get our hands on the Oak boards they are black with soot from the old steam trains. Hiding under that soot lays a timber full of characterful burls, knots and cracks. Time has allowed the soot to seep into the cracks and holes highlighting them in jet black. The larger blackened holes in some of the pieces are from red hot rivets burning through the timber to join them to the steel wagon frames. That's how they fixed the boards in the days before mechanical drills were portable or practical enough to do the job. The charred edges of these holes tells us the story of their past. We finish the oak in our own recipe 100% natural beeswax polish.
The aluminium has elegant tapered slots along its edges which tease out the light and project a subtle pattern on the ceiling. The aluminium is painted in a luxurious gloss pure white. The gloss white contrasts with the deep amber tones of the knotted timber.
As with all reclaimed timber, each piece is unique and will differ slightly form the picture. We intentionally pick pieces with character to make a feature of the oak.
Inspired by reclaimed timber and minimalist design. I build contemporary furniture from reclaimed timbers from my workshop in Cardigan, West Wales

Alcock Tarn Walks
Alcock Tarn and Heron Pike near Grasmere
Grade: 3 Approximate length: 4 Miles
Alcock Tarn walks lies 1000 feet above Grasmere village on the western flanks of Heron Pike, whilst originally a natural tarn named Butter Crags Tarn, until the late 19th Century when Mr Alcock of The Hollins in Grasmere enlarged the tarn by means of a small stone and earth dam to create a trout lake.
It is well worth the effort of climbing 1000 feet from Grasmere, being a rather attractive tarn with grassy banks and some reed beds around the edge. The views to the south and west, with Grasmere in the valley below are stunning.
Leaving the village of Grasmere, make your way towards the A591 and the Swan Hotel. Traveling from Keswick to Ambleside on the A591 you will pass the Swan Hotel on your left and some 600 yards after you will find a convenient layby, wherein you may currently park free.
Alcock Tarn Walks
Following the road to the immediate right of the Swan Hotel make your way up this country lane leaving Grasmere behind you. On the right hand side you will see Greenhead Gill and Alcock Tarn walks clearly signposted. As the road makes its way gently uphill there will be a stream upon your right. Immediately in front of you there will be a gate when you reach the end of the road, passing through the gate follow the arrow to your right.
Follow the footpath up the hill then go right over the footbridge across Greenhead Gill. You will then see a well looked after footpath with yellow arrows bending to the right and steeply uphill between Heron Pike and Grey Crag. Traveling upwards with the stone wall to your right the path divides, whilst taking the path to your right this will take you to Alcock Tarn. You will first find a smaller tarn full of reeds with Alcock Tarn just beyond it.
Should you wish for a longer more strenuous walk, where the path divides in 2, simply continue along the other path following Greenhead path. This is a seldom used path and eventually disappears, although you will come to a small beck feeding Greenhead Gill on your right which I suggest you take climbing as high as you can then travers back towards Alcock Tarn. This route will allow you to drop down onto the tarn with enhanced views of the surrounding area.
You can walk along the right hand side to the end of Alcock Tarn. Head towards a gap in the dry stone wall go through the gap and keep walking along the rocky outcrop, an excellent view of Grasmere becomes visible below you. Follow the path steeply downhill passing through a gate then keep walking with the wall on your left hand side. This path leads you into a wooded area, the path swings to the left and pass through another gate in a fence then a gate in a wall. The footpath now continues between two walls, continue down until you reach the public road.
Alcock Tarn Walk
If you turn right at this point you will drop downhill pass Dove Cottage to reach the A591 and opposite is the road back into Grasmere village.
Please note that our walks description of Alcock Tarn walks, like any outdoor activity can be extremely dangerous and can result in permanent disability or even loss of life. Participants should be aware and except these risks whilst being responsible for their own safety. Always seek advice and information before embarking on any outdoor activity.

Kasich seems dismissive of the fact that some of Ohio's public employees have had to take up to 15 unpaid furlough days, pay cuts, pay freezes, and other cuts. Meanwhile, Kasich keeps saying that there are some people who pay zero for their health care and pensions. Really? Ohio's public employees have sacrificed a lot, but those double dippers in the state government, and those overpaid "yes" people in the governor's office, aren't making any sacrifices.
Here is additional information from the Washington Independent:
...While Ohio Republicans lawmakers may have been on the front lines of the battle over SB5, it has been Gov. Kasich that has led the vocal push in targeting public employees. He said his goal is to "break the back of organized labor in schools." In addition, earlier this year, he called a police officer that pulled him over for speeding an "idiot." (Read previous reporting by The American Independent on SB5′s potential impact on public safety workers.)
He claimed the union-busting legislation was necessary to get Ohio's fiscal house in order, but he didn't bother to look for any savings in his own office.....
...."It is absolutely hypocritical for the politicians who support Issue 2 to call for "shared sacrifices" when they aren't willing to participate," said Melissa Fazekas, a spokesperson for We Are Ohio, a citizen-driven, community-based, bipartisan coalition that has come together to repeal SB5. "While they were balancing the budget on the backs of public workers, they were also enjoying their perks and giving pay raises and bonuses to their highest paid staff members. This continued "do as I say, not as I do" attitude is exactly why Ohioans want to stop SB 5 by voting NO on Issue 2 on Nov. 8."
* I've always enjoyed author Carl Hiaasen's books, and somehow I really wasn't surprised when he offered to give drug tests to the members of the Florida legislature. Hilarious. The Florida legislature passed a bill to give drug tests to people that receive welfare. I agree with Hiaasen. Which members of the Florida state government are on drugs, and even Viagra. I believe the public has the right to know.

Columbia City Council Approves Additional Power for Downtown
Related Story
COLUMBIA - The Columbia City Council unanimously approved an amendment to extend an electric distribution circuit from a substation Monday night.
The electric distribution circuit extension is from the Rebel Hill Substation located on St. Charles Road in Columbia. The approval of the extension will provide additional capacity downtown.
The project is called the Rebel Hill Feeder Circuit 212 and will provide five megawatts of additional power for the downtown area. Additionally, the proposed extension will increase system reliability. The estimated total cost for the extension is $1.4 million, but the project already has secured $1 million in capital improvement funding.
Columbia Water and Light Director Tad Johnsen described the technical side of the project at the meeting. He said 55 percent of the circuit will be built as new underground, 10 percent will be built using existing underground, 14 percent will require rebuilding of existing overhead circuits, and 20 percent will require the use of existing overhead circuits.
The project will mostly affect the first ward, and First Ward Member Ginny Chadwick asked Johnsen about the possibility of having a downtown substation.
"We have to actually find a site, develop a site, and then we have to connect it, typically, on the transmission level to supply it," Johnson said. "So, as time goes by we might investigate what the possibility of a downtown substation might be."
The project would extend the circuit to Ninth Street and University Avenue, as well as Fifth Street and Conley Street.
The construction on this project is expected to begin this summer and will be complete in the summer of 2015.

U of S senators want more public input
Rory MacLean
October 11, 2011
University of Saskatchewan senators who this summer called for the board of governors chair to resign because of her ties to Cameco Corp. are now saying the senate itself has a democratic deficit.
They formed the group University Senators in Saskatchewan Working to Revive Democracy (USSWORD) earlier this year to criticize the corporatization of the university.
The group was created after environmental lawyer Stefania Fortugno penned a letter that accused board of governors chair Nancy Hopkins of having a conflict of interest between her financial interest in Cameco and position as chair of the search committee for the next university president.
Elected senator Mary Jean Hande said a number of senators and faculty have since voiced their support for USSWORD, but are afraid of repercussions if they should be seen as aligning themselves with the group.
"They're afraid to speak out about these things because they're worried about repercussions," she said. "They're worried about bullying and they're worried about harassment."
Hande wouldn't specify exactly how many senators are involved, but she admitted it is less than half of the 28 elected to the body.
It's been difficult for the group to communicate with the other senators, said Hande, because communication is vetted by the senate secretary and the senate email list has recently been disabled.
Motions submitted by USSWORD to be put on the last senate meeting agenda calling for an investigation into Hopkins' apparent conflict of interest were rejected twice for being out of order.
"They told us there wasn't enough time to discuss these motions at the meeting, so they basically rejected them. They don't have the power to do that," said Hande.
Hopkins earlier denounced the accusations as "absurd," saying they stemmed from the fact that Cameco is in the nuclear business, "which is a big flashpoint for many people."
A recent chart issued by USSWORD outlining different corporate ties at the university reveals a nuclear focus, bearing the title Radioactive Trinity: A study of partnerships of government, industry and the U of S, though it also outlines links to several oil companies among university governors. These connections call the university's autonomy into question, said Hande.
"The university is a public institution. Its role is to serve the university community. That type of influence takes the university away from the influence of the people of Saskatchewan. We're concerned that the university is being transformed into some sort of think-tank for the energy industry."
USSWORD will be bringing three motions to the next senate meeting and is asking any interested members of the public to attend. The Occupy Saskatoon protesters will attend the meeting, which starts at 9:30 a.m. on Saturday in Room 150 in the College of Law building.
The growing Occupy Wall Street movement demonstrating against corporate power and economic disparity hits Saskatoon on Saturday.
The Occupy Saskatoon event starts at 9:30 a.m. at the University of Saskatchewan, where the rally will support a group of academic activists and elected officials speaking out against corporate influence at the university.
The rally then marches to downtown Saskatoon and stops at Friendship Park for the day-long demonstration.
Occupy Wall Street is a continuous demonstration that has attracted thousands of people to New York to protest corporate influence in American society and government.

Hospital Outbreak of Middle East Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus
- The New England journal of medicine
- Published over 6 years ago
- Discuss
Background In September 2012, the World Health Organization reported the first cases of pneumonia caused by the novel Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV). We describe a cluster of health care-acquired MERS-CoV infections. Methods Medical records were reviewed for clinical and demographic information and determination of potential contacts and exposures. Case patients and contacts were interviewed. The incubation period and serial interval (the time between the successive onset of symptoms in a chain of transmission) were estimated. Viral RNA was sequenced. Results Between April 1 and May 23, 2013, a total of 23 cases of MERS-CoV infection were reported in the eastern province of Saudi Arabia. Symptoms included fever in 20 patients (87%), cough in 20 (87%), shortness of breath in 11 (48%), and gastrointestinal symptoms in 8 (35%); 20 patients (87%) presented with abnormal chest radiographs. As of June 12, a total of 15 patients (65%) had died, 6 (26%) had recovered, and 2 (9%) remained hospitalized. The median incubation period was 5.2 days (95% confidence interval [CI], 1.9 to 14.7), and the serial interval was 7.6 days (95% CI, 2.5 to 23.1). A total of 21 of the 23 cases were acquired by person-to-person transmission in hemodialysis units, intensive care units, or in-patient units in three different health care facilities. Sequencing data from four isolates revealed a single monophyletic clade. Among 217 household contacts and more than 200 health care worker contacts whom we identified, MERS-CoV infection developed in 5 family members (3 with laboratory-confirmed cases) and in 2 health care workers (both with laboratory-confirmed cases). Conclusions Person-to-person transmission of MERS-CoV can occur in health care settings and may be associated with considerable morbidity. Surveillance and infection-control measures are critical to a global public health response.
Mapping global environmental suitability for Zika virus
Zika virus was discovered in Uganda in 1947 and is transmitted by Aedes mosquitoes, which also act as vectors for dengue and chikungunya viruses throughout much of the tropical world. In 2007, an outbreak in the Federated States of Micronesia sparked public health concern. In 2013, the virus began to spread across other parts of Oceania and in 2015, a large outbreak in Latin America began in Brazil. Possible associations with microcephaly and Guillain-Barré syndrome observed in this outbreak have raised concerns about continued global spread of Zika virus, prompting its declaration as a Public Health Emergency of International Concern by the World Health Organization. We conducted species distribution modelling to map environmental suitability for Zika. We show a large portion of tropical and sub-tropical regions globally have suitable environmental conditions with over 2.17 billion people inhabiting these areas.
An assessment of air pollution and its attributable mortality in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia
- Air quality, atmosphere, & health
- Published over 6 years ago
- Discuss
Epidemiologic studies have consistently reported associations between outdoor fine particulate matter (PM2.5) air pollution and adverse health effects. Although Asia bears the majority of the public health burden from air pollution, few epidemiologic studies have been conducted outside of North America and Europe due in part to challenges in population exposure assessment. We assessed the feasibility of two current exposure assessment techniques, land use regression (LUR) modeling and mobile monitoring, and estimated the mortality attributable to air pollution in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia. We developed LUR models for predicting wintertime spatial patterns of NO2 and SO2 based on 2-week passive Ogawa measurements at 37 locations and freely available geographic predictors. The models explained 74% and 78% of the variance in NO2 and SO2, respectively. Land cover characteristics derived from satellite images were useful predictors of both pollutants. Mobile PM2.5 monitoring with an integrating nephelometer also showed promise, capturing substantial spatial variation in PM2.5 concentrations. The spatial patterns in SO2 and PM, seasonal and diurnal patterns in PM2.5, and high wintertime PM2.5/PM10 ratios were consistent with a major impact from coal and wood combustion in the city's low-income traditional housing (ger) areas. The annual average concentration of PM2.5 measured at a centrally located government monitoring site was 75 μg/m3 or more than seven times the World Health Organization's PM2.5 air quality guideline, driven by a wintertime average concentration of 148 μg/m3. PM2.5 concentrations measured in a traditional housing area were higher, with a wintertime mean PM2.5 concentration of 250 μg/m3. We conservatively estimated that 29% (95% CI, 12-43%) of cardiopulmonary deaths and 40% (95% CI, 17-56%) of lung cancer deaths in the city are attributable to outdoor air pollution. These deaths correspond to nearly 10% of the city's total mortality, with estimates ranging to more than 13% of mortality under less conservative model assumptions. LUR models and mobile monitoring can be successfully implemented in developing country cities, thus cost-effectively improving exposure assessment for epidemiology and risk assessment. Air pollution represents a major threat to public health in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia, and reducing home heating emissions in traditional housing areas should be the primary focus of air pollution control efforts.
Local Transmission of Zika Virus - Puerto Rico, November 23, 2015-January 28, 2016
- MMWR. Morbidity and mortality weekly report
- Published over 3 years ago
- Discuss
Zika virus, a mosquito-borne flavivirus, spread to the Region of the Americas (Americas) in mid-2015, and appears to be related to congenital microcephaly and Guillain-Barré syndrome (1,2). On February 1, 2016, the World Health Organization (WHO) declared the occurrence of microcephaly cases in association with Zika virus infection to be a Public Health Emergency of International Concern.* On December 31, 2015, Puerto Rico Department of Health (PRDH) reported the first locally acquired (index) case of Zika virus disease in a jurisdiction of the United States in a patient from southeastern Puerto Rico. During November 23, 2015-January 28, 2016, passive and enhanced surveillance for Zika virus disease identified 30 laboratory-confirmed cases. Most (93%) patients resided in eastern Puerto Rico or the San Juan metropolitan area. The most frequently reported signs and symptoms were rash (77%), myalgia (77%), arthralgia (73%), and fever (73%). Three (10%) patients were hospitalized. One case occurred in a patient hospitalized for Guillain-Barré syndrome, and one occurred in a pregnant woman. Because the most common mosquito vector of Zika virus, Aedes aegypti, is present throughout Puerto Rico, Zika virus is expected to continue to spread across the island. The public health response in Puerto Rico is being coordinated by PRDH with assistance from CDC. Clinicians in Puerto Rico should report all cases of microcephaly, Guillain-Barré syndrome, and suspected Zika virus disease to PRDH. Other adverse reproductive outcomes, including fetal demise associated with Zika virus infection, should be reported to PRDH. To avoid infection with Zika virus, residents of and visitors to Puerto Rico, particularly pregnant women, should strictly follow steps to avoid mosquito bites, including wearing pants and long-sleeved shirts, using permethrin-treated clothing and gear, using an Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)-registered insect repellent, and ensuring that windows and doors have intact screens.
Empirical redefinition of comprehensive health and well-being in the older adults of the United States
- Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America
- Published over 3 years ago
- Discuss
The World Health Organization (WHO) defines health as a "state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity." Despite general acceptance of this comprehensive definition, there has been little rigorous scientific attempt to use it to measure and assess population health. Instead, the dominant model of health is a disease-centered Medical Model (MM), which actively ignores many relevant domains. In contrast to the MM, we approach this issue through a Comprehensive Model (CM) of health consistent with the WHO definition, giving statistically equal consideration to multiple health domains, including medical, physical, psychological, functional, and sensory measures. We apply a data-driven latent class analysis (LCA) to model 54 specific health variables from the National Social Life, Health, and Aging Project (NSHAP), a nationally representative sample of US community-dwelling older adults. We first apply the LCA to the MM, identifying five health classes differentiated primarily by having diabetes and hypertension. The CM identifies a broader range of six health classes, including two "emergent" classes completely obscured by the MM. We find that specific medical diagnoses (cancer and hypertension) and health behaviors (smoking) are far less important than mental health (loneliness), sensory function (hearing), mobility, and bone fractures in defining vulnerable health classes. Although the MM places two-thirds of the US population into "robust health" classes, the CM reveals that one-half belong to less healthy classes, independently associated with higher mortality. This reconceptualization has important implications for medical care delivery, preventive health practices, and resource allocation.

Intranasal oxytocin versus placebo in the treatment of adults with autism spectrum disorders: a randomized controlled trial
- Molecular autism
- Published almost 7 years ago
- Discuss
BACKGROUND: There are no effective medications for the treatment of social cognition/function deficits in autism spectrum disorder (ASD), and adult intervention literature in this area is sparse. Emerging data from animal models and genetic association studies as well as early, single-dose intervention studies suggest that the oxytocin system may be a potential therapeutic target for social cognition/function deficits in ASD. The primary aim of this study was to examine the safety/therapeutic effects of intranasal oxytocin versus placebo in adults with ASD, with respect to the two core symptom domains of social cognition/functioning and repetitive behaviors. METHODS: This was a pilot, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel design trial of intranasal oxytocin versus placebo in 19 adults with ASD (16 males; 33.20 +/- 13.29 years). Subjects were randomized to 24 IU intranasal oxytocin or placebo in the morning and afternoon for 6 weeks. Measures of social function/cognition (the Diagnostic Analysis of Nonverbal Accuracy) and repetitive behaviors (Repetitive Behavior Scale Revised) were administered. Secondary measures included the Social Responsiveness Scale, Reading-the-Mind-in-the-Eyes Test and the Yale Brown Obsessive Compulsive Scale – compulsion subscale and quality of life (World Health Organization Quality of Life Questionnaire – emotional/social subscales). Full-information maximum-likelihood parameter estimates were obtained and tested using mixed-effects regression analyses. RESULTS: Although no significant changes were detected in the primary outcome measures after correcting for baseline differences, results suggested improvements after 6 weeks in measures of social cognition (Reading-the-Mind-in-the-Eyes Test, p = 0.002, d = 1.2), and quality of life (World Health Organization Quality of Life Questionnaire – emotion, p = 0.031, d = 0.84), both secondary measures. Oxytocin was well tolerated and no serious adverse effects were reported. CONCLUSIONS: This pilot study suggests that there is therapeutic potential to daily administration of intranasal oxytocin in adults with ASD and that larger and longer studies are warranted.Trial registrationNCT00490802.
Rifampicin for continuation phase tuberculosis treatment in Uganda: a cost-effectiveness analysis.
In Uganda, isoniazid plus ethambutol is used for 6 months (6HE) during the continuation treatment phase of new tuberculosis (TB) cases. However, the World Health Organization (WHO) recommends using isoniazid plus rifampicin for 4 months (4HR) instead of 6HE. We compared the impact of a continuation phase using 6HE or 4HR on total cost and expected mortality from the perspective of the Ugandan national health system.

The Maritime Labour Convention, 2006 (MLC) has been ratified by the UK just ahead of the convention entering force on the 20th August, 2013.
This new International Labour Organization (ILO) convention consolidates and updates more than 68 international labour standards in the maritime sector. It sets minimum global standards for seafarers living and working conditions. It also reflects the valuable contribution of the ILO to global employment standards
The UK's adoption has been extended to include the Isle of Man and Gibraltar.
Stephen Hammond MP, UK Minister for Shipping, said:
"I am pleased to adopt this convention. This will ensure that there are globally agreed standards for seafarers and their right to decent working conditions. It will also provide clarity of regulatory approach and remove obstacles to regional trade.
"It also ensures a level playing field for the UK merchant fleet because the Convention will require ships registered in other states to meet internationally agreed standards."

How to Choose Fonts for Your Website
Some fonts don't work well on websites. Unfortunately, too many fonts exist these days for you to find a complete listing of which ones do and which ones don't. Also, it's important to understand that fonts, like fashion, go in and out of style for use on the web (for a quick example of an unfashionable font, just do a search on Comic Sans). But there are some general guidelines to help you select the right fonts for different applications.
Standard versus display fonts in web design
In order to choose the right font for your website, you should be familiar with the different categories of fonts. Generally, you should use standard fonts for pages of body text and reserve the fancier or decorative fonts, often called display fonts, for short headings, callouts, and subheadings.
Standard fonts include Garamond, Times, Georgia, Arial, Helvetica, and Verdana, which were designed for legibility and work well for larger blocks of text. They're common fonts that many people have heard of. There are a number of fonts, however, that fall into the "standard" category with names that you may not recognize.
Font weights for body copy are usually called Roman, Body, or Regular. Readers aren't distracted by the design of these classic fonts, enabling them to focus on the text at hand. Standard fonts are designed for easy reading, so they work well in the smaller point sizes and in larger blocks of text.
Fancier fonts, on the other hand, or other weight variants of a font like Bold, Condensed, Semi Bold, Black, and Ultra, have a lot of detail and personality, ideal for larger-set headings and subheadings consisting of a few words. These fonts grab people's attention, but they aren't designed for a long page of text. You can often distinguish the decorative fonts just by their names, such as Kid Print, Comic Sans, and so on (see the following figure).
Font thickness on the web
The thickness of each individual letter (or line weight) contributes greatly to a font's readability. Because pixels on computers aren't comparatively very small, fonts that are too thin can fade away into oblivion, especially at smaller point sizes.
If you examine any font, you notice that the thickness varies in each letter. For example, take a look at the letter m in the example, below. The letter is set in a few different typefaces for comparison. Some fonts, such as Kepel Bold (the example on the far left), change drastically between the thick and thin areas of a single letter. At a small point size, for the letter m, all you see is a blob of three bold strokes — the thin strokes disappear altogether. When choosing fonts for small-point-size text, therefore, find versions that don't have a big variance in the stroke thickness. Also, avoid the "lightweight" editions of fonts — they're too thin to read at a small point size. (Most font families come in a variety of thicknesses, ranging from light for the thinnest of the set to bold, black, and ultra for progressively heavier line weight.)
Serif versus sans-serif fonts in web design
Your font education won't be complete until you know the difference between serif and sans-serif fonts. A serif is the little ledge that adorns the tips of a letter. Sans-serif fonts, on the other hand, don't have these ledges. Some modern sans-serif fonts do have little embellishments on their tips, making you look twice, but they're still considered sans-serif fonts. Both serif and san-serif fonts can be used for larger blocks of body copy. Typically, serif fonts give the page a more conservative, classy, or newsy look, while using san-serif fonts yields a cleaner, more modern feel.
The fonts on the lists all survived the 10-point test: They are all readable when set at just 10 points, which is the smallest font size for text that you should ever consider for body copy in web design (best to set at 11 points at least).
Try mixing serif and sans-serif fonts together. For example, use one style for headings and the other style for the body text. Choosing a set of two to three fonts for your website — one for each different kind of type element — helps to add visual interest to the page, as in the following example.

This fully cast aluminium extending garden table can function as a 6 seater, and adapt to seat an extra 4 people when needed. This has made the Vanessa table a popular choice for customers needing a functional garden table for both everyday use and hosting larger groups. If even 10 seats is not enough, don't worry. We have 12 seater rectangular garden furniture models like the Isabelle table and Deborah table available, and then there's the Madison table set. This 16 seater metal garden table is 520cm in length by 120cm. This stylish table features a simple lattice table top, with space to fit a parasol.
A few of our garden tables in this category are tables only, but many are metal patio sets consisting of a table and chairs. You will find that these outdoor furniture sets come with not just one, but a choice of chairs. A default chair will always be available at no extra cost, but we offer some other chairs with different designs. If you prefer another chair, such as the Jane or Maria chair, you can pair it with your table for between £9.50 and £24.50 per chair. The chairs for our modern garden table sets combine cast aluminium with a hard wearing outdoor mesh fabric.
If you're purchasing a table and chairs set, you'll have some fantastic, unique offers available to you. Your rectangular garden furniture set will be that much better when enhanced with a few accessories such as a parasol and seat cushions. Underneath the section where you choose your chairs, you'll find offers for seat cushions and parasols in various colours. Purchasing these accessories alongside your rectangular cast aluminium garden table means you save up to 70% on them, compared to buying them separately, so don't miss out!
We've got other offers too. You can get between 20% and 80% off various aluminium garden furniture items such as garden benches and sun loungers. But these offers will be unique to this page, so combine them with your main order to take advantage. In general, we have some outstanding deals on our clearance page. These standalone deals apply to all kinds of outdoor furniture, from side tables to 12 seaters. They change all the time, so check back regularly, and if you see a bargain, get it while you can!
If you're wondering what makes aluminium garden furniture special, it's a combination of factors. First and foremost, cast aluminium is weatherproof. It survives the elements a lot better than wooden or cast iron garden furniture. Wood must be sanded and coated in weatherproof paint or varnish to stop it from rotting or splitting. Cast iron is prone to rust. To prevent this, it needs to be covered or sheltered. Exterior metal paints are available too, but they often cover over the beautiful metal look that for which you bought it in the first place. Solid wood and cast iron are also particularly heavy. Cast aluminium is outstandingly light, which makes moving even larger tables a much easier task. Overall, cast aluminium garden furniture is a solid choice. Leave it outside all year round without worrying, and move it around with ease. It looks great too, and we're pleased to offer the finest cast aluminium furniture pieces available.
The friendly Lazy Susan team is available to take your calls or answer your emails from 08:00 to 18:00 daily. They can provide more information about our cast aluminium garden furniture and respond to any other questions you have. They can also send you fabric and metal samples. These give you an idea of our materials and help you select the colour which best suits your garden. Call us on 01243 717197 or email us at [email protected]. We try to answer emails within 2 hours during office hours.
Please show us your new garden furniture to help us raise money for our Do Some Good charity campaign. Just take a few pictures and share them on Facebook or Instagram with the tag @LazySusanFurniture or email them to us. We then donate £10 for any set of photos of Lazy Susan furniture in your garden. We'll donate £20 for photos including friends and family during a family lunch or BBQ. Your help goes a long way.

Are you a high school student with an idea for social change
that keeps you up at night? Have you previously been involved
with volunteerism and want to become a service leader? Is
there a cause that you are particularly passionate about?
The Youth Service in Action (YSA) Fellowship is an exclusive Volunteers On Call leadership program for high school students who are looking to take their philanthropic initiatives to the next level.
The Youth Service in Action Fellowship is an educational and experiential program for teenagers who want to build leadership skills, create a community around youth service, and change the world for the better. As a YSA Fellow, VOC will guide you through the process of developing independent and team service projects from concept to completion. We will help you raise funds, connect with relevant personnel, and reach out to potential partner organizations. Throughout the fellowship, students will participate in many unique and fun opportunities for personal growth and community development.
At Volunteers On Call, we know that young adults who are exposed to positive service experiences will go on to become leaders in philanthropy, social entrepreneurship, and the non-profit sector. Take it from our executive director – she started volunteering with VOC as a student at Greenwich High School and is now running the show (photo evidence above)!
Applicants must be current public or private high school students in Fairfield County. In outstanding cases, 8th graders may also apply. A maximum of twelve fellowships are granted each year.
YSA Fellowships are awarded through invitation or application to join our program. Applications for the 2014-2015 Fellowship are closed. Check back in the summer of 2015.

Liner Notes: Compilation & Technical Data

Compilation: Hugh Palmer
Broadly speaking this is a chronological presentation of the programmes as they were recorded in the studios with the exception (on CD Two) of the opening four tracks (intended for commercial release), Irene Manning's Begin The Beguine and the final item, Moonlight Serenade. With six versions of Glenn Miller's theme tune (featured in full at the end of each programme) to choose from we elected to use the version from Programme Four. The string section's microphones were still fully open after recording Holiday For Strings and in our humble opinion it remains one of the best versions of Moonlight Serenade extant.
Harking back to CD One and Sgt. Johnny Desmond's My Heart Tells Me, it doesn't take much knowledge of German to realise that Johnny Desmond isn't repeating the title as given by 'Herr Major' - his "Mein herz meldet sich zur stelle" translates as "My heart reports for duty".
One name I'd like to add to Alan Dell's generous vote of thanks is that of Philip Farlow, who willingly provided me with much valuable information to make my job as co-ordinator a great deal easier.

Engineering History: Ted Kendall
We could reasonably call this album "Glenn Miller as you've never heard him before" - for three reasons. Firstly, these recordings have had very limited circulation, to put it mildly - most have never been released, and certainly not on CD.
Secondly, many numbers appear here which aren't in Miller's commercial output, and those which are benefit from the size, sweep and discipline of the greatest Glenn Miller Orchestra.
The third reason is to do with the sheer sound quality of these recordings. They bear out the old recording engineers' maxim that if the band is right and the room is right, then the recording will also be right. The band is certainly right - crisp, bouncy rhythm, superb internal balance, and just listen to that string section! As to the room - all these recordings were made in Studio One of the EMI recording HQ at Abbey Road, later immortalised by The Beatles' album of the same name.
This studio, the largest of the three then at Abbey Road, could accomodate a full symphony orchestra without strain and provided an excellent setting for the AEF Orchestra. All that remained was to get the sound on to wax. Now, contrary to popular belief, all recording in the 78 era was not done on a single microphone, but multi-miking would not have been in the modern mould, with a microphone up everybody's jumper and lashings of artificial reverberation. The rig for these Abbey Road sessions would probably have been similar to that shown in photographs of the AEF band performing for broadcasts at the BBC studio in the Corn Exchange, Bedford (a less attractive target for flying bombs than Broadcasting House). These show one microphone each for brass, reeds, strings, rhythm and vocals. This would have provided reasonable control of the overall sound whilst leaving the tricky job of internal balance to those who could do it best - the players.
We therefore have a clear, unmuddled sound with everyone in correct perspective and a wonderful impression of the "weight" of the whole. Furthermore, on the Dinah Shore session, you may hear dynamic contrasts which seldom made it on to 78, and practically never came off again, because of the surface noise of shellac pressings. Indeed, I doubt whether those on Farewell Blues would ever have made it to commercial release, even without the prevailing contractual obstacles, because the loud chords halfway through the side might well have failed the obligatory wear test. Had this happened, we might have had to contend with a dubbed master, which would have sounded inferior to the original (as does Get Happy where this did happen).
You will find much less surface noise on this issue than the vintage of the originals would suggest. This is because nothing has come from a commercial pressing. The source material has either been vinyl test pressings or copies of metal parts used in the manufacturing process.
The history of the originals is interesting, but necessarily incomplete. The Dinah Shore sides, despite rumours to the contrary, still exist on metal in EMI's vaults, fifty years after an order for their destruction was issued. Although the contractual situation prevented their legitimate release until now, some vinyl pressings have escaped, and it is from a set of these that I have worked. The situation with the ABSIE recordings is altogether murkier. We know that metal parts (probably stampers, with ridges rather than grooves) were in store at EMI for many years, and that they are no longer there. Neither they nor the man who was thought to have them have been heard of for a decade. Consequently, we have had to assume them lost and work from a tape copy made some twenty years ago. Bearing in mind the restrictions imposed by the technology of the day, this copy was remarkably good, but some of the inevitable complications caused by playing a metal negative with a conventional stylus remained. I have been able to remove or at least ameliorate them and present these gorgeous recordings somewhere close to their original glory. If the originals surface again, why, we shall smile. If not, then at least this transfer is well made.
Over to you, Major Miller!

Anticoagulants�more widely known as �blood thinners��are used in patients with cardiovascular disease. Blood thinners don�t actually thin the blood; they interfere with the ability of a protein called fibrinogen that causes blood to clot. This makes them useful for preventing blood clots from forming in the arteries or veins, where they could cause a heart attack or stroke or blood clots in the legs or lungs.

I returned home this afternoon from South Florida where I worked the past two weeks for Gulfshore Life magazine. WOW, I was overwhelmed with work as I was assigned 15 photo shoots! I'm not even sure how many pages of my work will be in the magazine, but I am sure that it will be many!Returning to my second home of South Florida was quite an experience. I hadn't seen much of the area since I moved away from Boca Raton. I could hardly believe how much it had changed and how beautiful it was. While on assignment, I had the opportunity to photograph individuals at many scenic locations including yacht clubs, hotels and amazing private properties. I photographed what felt like the entire region on this trip as I covered the beaches of Boca Grande all the way down to the most exclusive areas of Marco Island. It was truly an experience I will never forget. I can hardly wait to update the rest of my website to include some of these amazing images along with the so many other recent projects!!!
I suppose I should be happy that I'm busier than ever and simply haven't had a chance to update the website as often as I'd like to. I have many clients who visit the site often and email us when they see something that peeks their interest. I feel as though I'm letting them down when I don't keep things fresh. I promise to update more often! I don't ever want to loose contact with my clients as I consider each and every one of them lifelong friends!!!

This one time… in 1999… we all saw a movie that launched the millennium's raunchy teen genre: American Pie. And now, 12 years later, comes news from Universal (originally reported by The Wrap) that Jason Biggs, Seann William Scott, and Eugene Levy are on board for a reunion flick, titled American Reunion. Of course, it's only been eight years since the trio shared the screen in 2003's American Wedding (and only two years since Levy starred in the direct-to-DVD American Pie Presents: The Book of Love), but here's where today's news gets even more exciting: Thomas Ian Nicholas, Tara Reid, Chris Klein, Mena Suvari, and Jennifer Coolidge are all in negotiations to return to the film, which (yes, it gets better!) will be released… in theaters! (Take that American Pie: Band Camp… and American Pie: The Naked Mile… and American Pie: Beta House… and American Pie: Book of Love: Electric Boogaloo!) (UPDATE: Universal tells EW that it is indeed working to bring back all members of the original American Pie.)
Now the main question: Where do you see American Pie's characters 12 years later? One notable absence from American Reunion's current line-up: Alyson Hannigan, the How I Met Your Mother star who played Jim's (Jason Biggs) eventual wife, Michelle, in the original film. Does this mean we'll see a divorced Jim in American Reunion? (We're sure Scott's Stifler wouldn't mind finding him a rebound.) Eddie Kaye Thomas, who played Finch in the original film and its two follow-ups, is also missing from the cast list — a disappointment, considering Jennifer Coolidge (Stifler's mom) is on board. I'll just assume that Finch is too busy with his job as Mystery's new wingman. As for the cast members we can expect to see in the film — reportedly set to begin shooting on May 24 (apparently, production will not be affected by Scott recently entering treatment for "health and personal issues") — here are some guesses of what they're up to:
Jim Levenstein (Jason Biggs): The franchise's hero is now a divorcé who has taken up a job as (naturally) a comically inept sex ed teacher.
Noah Levenstein (Eugene Levy): Raking in some big bucks, thanks to his flourishing career as a guest star in several raunchy direct-to-DVD comedies.
Steve Stifler (Seann William Scott): Just wrapped filming Jersey Shore season 4.
Kevin Myers (Thomas Ian Nicholas): Comptroller. What, you think he'd be doing something exciting?
Victoria Lathum (Tara Reid): Since Victoria was so "smart," she's now a "bio-engineer," working for "a big important company" on "big important things" and "shaking her head" at Taradise.
Christopher Ostreicher, a.k.a. "Oz" (Chis Klein): Is Dr. Oz.
Heather (Mena Suvari): The jazz choir singer recorded a hit single, "Liquid Dreamz," followed it with the disastrous "Girrrrrrrl Parrrrrrrty," and spiraled into an abyss of sex, drugs, rose petals, and more sex. (Hey, this is American Pie.)
Stifler's Mom (Jennifer Coolidge): Currently being asked by Chris Hansen to sit down and have some sweet tea.
Now your turn, PopWatchers: Where do you see the American Pie characters 12 years after the original? Or, better yet, where do we think the characters will be when Universal greenlights American Nursing Home in 40 years? (Scott, at least, seemed to think it could be a possibility when I spoke to him last year. After asking him when people will stop calling him Stifler, he joked, "I would say about 67. I think I got a chance then. But by then, I probably will have done ten more American Pies, so I don't know. Maybe it will be forever.") And are you surprised that the term MILF is old enough to attend the sixth grade?

It Looks Like A Winter Photograph, But Look Closer… It Reveals Something Amazing.
Jenny Ayrton does not need to go very far to find inspiration for her work. A native of Devon, England, the glass artist knows that a casual walk on the beach or overlooking the green landscape gives her enough material for her sculptures.
Ayrton creates miniature scenes, locking them into a molten glass wonderland. Her pieces are made with delicate metal wires and sheets. Ayrton admits one of her favorite creation, "was a very sparse scene with a bench and a tree, so many people recognized their own special place in that simple scene, from countryside, to coastal, to garden settings."
"Many of my scenes have a domestic twist and are directly influenced by my surroundings," says Ayrton.
Ayrton loves seeing children bored at her galleries only to find a connection with a glass piece.
"I have a young daughter and whenever possible I try to see the world from her viewpoint, I find inspiration in the mundane and overlooked; a washing line blowing wildly on the first day of spring, an unknown couple on a park bench, a door ajar giving just a glimpse of what lies within," explains Ayrton.
Watch this artist explain how she makes her sculptures.
