Redcupxmaximgorky by ALLARTSDESIGN
The all-Russian coffee-house format "COFFEE WITH YOURSELF" with a new design of REDCUPXMAXIMGORKY was opened in Perm (Ural, Russia). Above the interior worked Saranin Artemy from the studio ALLARTSDESIGN (Russia, Perm).
The space of the coffee house with a total area of 38 square meters, consists of two small halls, in one the designer placed a bar counter with a confectioner's display case, and in the second formed a comfortable landing. In such a small room – you can find your place, both for the company and for yourself. The second hall has stained glass windows, through which a lot of daylight falls, and in the evening, when the lights are switched on, the atmosphere in the room becomes more chamber.
In this release, the designer did not complement the traditional LED highlights and lamps such as Edison, sconces and floor lamps. The most interesting is that for the release of REDCUPXMAXIMGORKY everything was made "for the project". All the furniture was made according to the drawings. Fixtures are made as under sketches of the designer. On the chest of drawers – made photo printing geometric patterns.
The floors are made in two colors: concrete graphite and teak wood – dividing the halls into 2 different zones. The ceilings complemented the bulk beams in the color of the floor – setting the rhythm in a small space that began to "work" after the installation of lighting.
Each wall...

Many experienced cable installers claim that more than 50% of premature fiber-optic cable failure is caused by improper cable pulling. Here are some important guidelines and techniques for overhead, indoor, and underground installations.
Is installing cables menial work? You certainly shouldn't think of it this way. Yes, it's an everyday task, but all tasks are important. You should always install cables correctly; short cuts inevitably don't work. This is especially true with delicate fiber-optic cables. Even outdoor armored fiber-optic cable suitable for direct burial has a crush resistance of only 500 lbs to 1000 lbs. So, how do you install fiber-optic cable and not damage it?
Running fiber-optic cable overhead between buildings requires fastening the cable to the buildings or stringing between poles. Whichever way you choose, you must install something to take the strain off the cable. Stringing a messenger cable between the buildings or poles and lashing the cable to it is one option. Another is to use a "Figure 8" cable, which has the messenger as part of the cable. NEC Art. 321 outlines the requirements for cables fastened to messenger wire. Normally, these cables will be round, loose tube type. To allow for thermal expansion and contraction, you should install outdoor messenger-supported cables with a sag of at least 1.7 ft (450 cm) per 100 ft. Yet another option is to use a self-supporting cable that uses Kevlar (Aramid yarn) as the support with the Kevlar fastened at both ends. Most self-supporting cables have limitations as to span length: usually about 500 ft, depending on loading conditions.
There are many different ways to install fiber-optic cable indoors In plenum areas, the cable must have the proper flame test rating, per NEC Sec. 300-22 or Sec. 56 of the Canadian Electrical Code. Otherwise, you have to install the cable in noncombustible conduit. The days of throwing a bundle of cable across the drop ceiling are gone forever. Now, you have to hang the cable on approved hangers spaced at no more than 3 ft to 4 ft (1 meter 1), except when the cable is large, armored, or stiff.
Be careful not to cinch the cable too tightly, and you have to cut the free tab off to prevent over tightening. The rule for tie wraps is "use them, but don't over tighten them." Oh yes-these cable ties might also require a fire rating.
Installing fiber-optic cable in an innerduct can prevent future damage ...and is often a wise investment. If you're using cable tray, you must place fiber-optic cables away from power cables and in a flexible, nonmetallic innerduct. If you're running the cable in a vertical tray, you must support it evenly. You must use loops of at least 1 ft dia at the top and bottom of the run (depending on the cable type and diameter) and every 100 ft. Depending on the jurisdiction you're working in, there can be variations to the electrical codes. You probably can't run optical cables in a tray with cables carrying more than 600V, but you should check with the local authority having jurisdiction (AHJ) to be sure. Fiber-optic cables present no hazard to power or control cables but if they burn, these 600V cables can destroy the fiber-optic cables.
If you're using conduit, make sure its bend radius is not less than the minimum required for the cable.
Many people build new homes with optical fiber installed. Most inspectors require you to observe flame rating requirements and install the cable with protection, whether innerduct, running boards, or pulled through drilled holes in the building structural members. Make sure you leave 3-ft (1 meter) tails at each outlet per TIA/EIA-568A. If not hooked up, you should coil the cable carefully and place it in a 4-in.-square box (2 and 1/8 deep). When connecting the cable, use a proper receptacle cover to suit the type of connectors you're using. Remember: Running fiber in a house is a two-person job, if you don't want damaged or kinked cable.
Running fiber-optic cable underground can involve direct burial or installation ...in underground ducts between maintenance holes. You have to install direct buried cable below the frost line. You also have to surround it with sand because rocks move horizontally and vertically due to freezing pressures, possibly pushing against the cable, causing bumps and small losses in signal strength. Many of these small losses can add up to an unacceptable large loss. Don't forget to mark the cable with a marker tape buried below the surface; this will act as a warning to anyone digging in the area. If you're using a cable construction not containing metal, use a metal impregnated marking tape so the cable can be located with appropriate equipment.
If you're pulling fiber-optic cable through ducts between manholes, you'll need to plan ahead: * First, rod the duct to clean out any dirt, bits of cement, empty bottles, etc. A variety of devices that clean the duct, remove any sandy dirt, and add lubricant are readily available. * Second, verify the maximum tension you can place on the cable. You can monitor your pulling tension in several ways. One is the use of break-away swivels (shown in Fig. 2), which attach to the cable. They're designed to break at a pre-set tension. Another is the use of a slip-clutch capstan. Many installers use a chart recorder to record the amount of applied tension when they're guaranteeing the installation. Still another method is to install a gauge in the pulling line. * Make sure you have enough manpower for the pull because you'll be spreading large Figure 8s at the manholes. Also handle the cable carefully and protect it from sharp bends while it's out of the manhole.
Pulling lubricants are especially important for fiber-optic cables. Make sure the lubricant is compatible with the cable's jacket. It should have a low coefficient of friction and should leave a slippery film when dried. This will help when starting the cable moving again during retrofit or removal.
These lubricants may leave a hazardous mess on the floor of the manhole. Have lots of wipes handy and garbage bags for their disposal. Pulling lubricant is also available in wipes, which are great for lubricating small cables without making a mess.
There is a multitude of fiber-optic pulling grips on the market. It doesn't really matter what you use, as long as you ensure the pulling strain is on the strength member of the cable, intended to take the strain. Fasten the cable securely and seal its end with rubber splicing compound or a shrink sleeve to keep out moisture and dirt.
Aside from the regular work hazards of cuts, bruises, falls, etc., you must consider additional hazards. Check for hazardous gases before anyone enters a manhole. In fact, you might need a separate air supply. You'll have considerable forces on the puller, sheaves, and/or pulleys. And, you may be using pulleys 5 ft in dia. If one of these lets go, serious injury can result. Your best bet is to use chain or steel cable (chokers) rather than rope to tie pulleys and pulling equipment in place. Above all else: Examine each situation carefully before you start work.
Guard the manhole A combination guard and emergency manlift is ideal. If the manhole is in a high traffic area, you'll need a warning light. If the cable installation takes more than one day and you leave it idle overnight, protect it during that time. The cable is valuable enough, along with the labor invested in installation, that it might pay to hire someone to guard the cable from damage or theft during off-hours.

text: Berry Sports Center Virtual Tour for Basketball Virtual Tour for Volleyball Virtual Tour for Squash Built in 1986, the 88,400 square foot Berry Sports Center contains varsity basketball and volleyball facilites and national and international squash and racquetball courts. The open atrium and skylights provide natural lighting throughout the facility. The Berry Sports Center racquetball and squash court area consists of 10 international squash courts (one of which is a glass enclosed exhibition court), two North American squash courts and three racquetbll courts. The squash courts are home to the Dartmouth men's and women's squash teams. The courts were dedicated in November of 1987. The Racquet Center features the Herrick Court, one of only three permanent exhibition courts in North America with three glass walls. The building's architecture is one of its most striking features, as a large skylight brightens the interior and gives the building and court area an expansive feel. Since its opening as one of the premier squash facilities in the country, Dartmouth has hosted the men's and women's Intercollegiate Squash Association Championships four times - in 1988, 1991, 1997 and 2005 - as well as the national junior championship three times, most recently in 1996. Men's and women's professional tournaments and several exhibitions and clinics have also been held in the Berry Center. Leede Arena The Berry Sports Center was dedicated on May 22, 1987 in honor of John W. Berry '44 whose $5 million gift was the largest ever made to Dartmouth athletics until the recent gift of $10 million by Douglas C. Floren '63 and his family for the new varsity house that opened in November 2007. Another gift by Mr. Berry enabled construction to begin in 1985. The basketball arena in the Berry Center is named in honor of Edward Leede '49 and his family. Mr. Leede is among Dartmouth's all-time leading scorers and was captain of the 1948-49 team. The Berry Center includes Leede Arena, a 2,100-seat basketball pavilion; two additional regulation basketball courts; four varsity locker rooms; squash and racquetball courts, and the athletic ticket office. At the right is the scene in sold-out Leede Arena for the North Carolina game in 1998. Another capacity crowd packed Leede in 2000 to see the Big Green host Virginia. Large crowds are the norm for Ivy League games, especially when Penn and Princeton come to town. Facts About Berry Sports Center Features Built - 1986 Dimensions - 88,400 square feet Seating Capacity - 2100 Fans 10 International Squash Courts (including 1 glass exhibition) 2 North American Squash Courts 3 Racquetball Courts 3 Regulation Basketball Courts including Leede Arena (Home of Dartmouth Basketball and Volleyball) Four Varsity Locker Rooms Athletic Ticket Office Big Green Basketball Suites

I think now of ... of ... its coming home a lot more America right now Obamacare did have a grandfather clause for certain plans already in place but that it turned out if anything changed in the plan ... under the HHS health human services Department interpretation of that our cause ... our I you that the grandfather clause does the president by the grandfather clause for an early ... age it sells itself estimated in two thousand ten ... that between forty and sixty percent of ... the coverage to of of creative people in the vehicle market players ... would lose their coverage would have to buy a different more expensive sometimes less generous plan in terms of the deductibles and co payments ... and Obama was still saying in twenty ten if you like your plan you can keep it ... did that today it's a it's clearly a lot of people can keep it but though I here's a tweet from the White House adviser Valerie Jarrett the very close the president obviously ... and now she's saying that the British open in the spring fact ... nothing in Obamacare forces people out of their health plans no changes require less insurance companies change existing clients ... if you want to be charitable here but I don't know how to ... read that as anything other than the fall so the ... hot yet and a deliberate falsehood I mean surely by now these people know that that's not true ... if you know what Obama said in two twenty twelve two years after the BCA after the HHS said the TCA would have this effect ... you could say well ... maybe he doesn't baby wasn't lying maybe he just is completely ignorant of the government over which is supposed to preside some media was in college ... or maybe he has some sort of ... associated disorder which is a pathological ride that I'd I'd bet that the thought of this but in reality if but when he's got his minions coming out there and trading when everybody is reporting on this ... that the ... BCA has no effect now it's true ... that the second part of that sends is true in some literal sense you will lose your covered West insurance company drops it but the insurance companies dropping it is as a result of the requirements of the buy of Obamacare and eight eight s interpretation of it it's just absolutely outrageous law has been a lot of these plans illegal and then as you said the HHS interpretation the regulation is ... is limiting what can be grandfathered in further ... creating the incentive or necessity for companies to drop the plans that people may like yet and you know it's easy for those of us who've been following this closely you know this all on ... and work on a world were to say well you know politicians lie it's not that big a deal ... is a big deal millions of Americans are getting these notices when they were promised that they wouldn't ... have died this is really quite ... obviously this is this was central to the Obamacare sales of its few others and pointed out it was never sold that well obviously remains to this day very controversial but to the extent the president was able ... to assure those who had insurance ... that they were OK under his plan that this I would say this was really the signature ... line in selling that plan ... it was us are going important line now granted it was not adding ... a terribly successful sale in terms of public opinion is the polls and never shown support for this time ... odd but yet people in Congress I certainly believe it by the way somebody tweeted yesterday I when Obama said if you like your plan you can keep it ...

Is Pedro Martinez Rejoining Red Sox?
The Boston Red Sox are bringing back pitcher Pedro Martinez, but he won't be stepping on the mound for the AL East team. The Red Sox announced Thursday that the former all-star hurler will return to the organization to serve as a special assistant to general manager Ben Cherington.
Former Red Sox catcher Jason Varitek, who caught many of Martinez's most dominant performances, joined the team's baseball operations staff in September. Cherington said both Martinez and Variek will evaluate, mentor and instruct the organization's young players in spring training and throughout the regular season.
Martinez, who won two of his three career Cy Young awards with Boston from 1998 through 2004, was a member of the Red Sox team that won the 2004 World Series and broke the franchise's 86-year championship drought. He was 117-37 with a 2.52 ERA in his seven seasons in New England.
Martinez signed a free agent deal with the New York Mets after the 2004 season. He finished his career in Philadelphia, losing Game 6 of the 2009 World Series to the New York Yankees.

Guy Tests Bidet on Camera, THEN Things Get Weird
Here's confirmation that the internet can be a very stupid place. We're not sure why somebody would want to make a video of themselves testing out their new bidet, we only know that this guy gets what he deserves for making such a video.
Namely, he gets visibly surprised by a stream of water so highly pressurized it scares the cat away. The question remains why would he still put it on the internet. We think the answer is pretty obvious -- this man desperately needs attention, in the form of YouTube views and possibly the medical variety as well.

Why the Syria Conflict Has Washington Paralyzed
What's stopping the U.S. from getting involved in the Syria conflict? Jerry Seib joins The News Hub with three big concerns keeping Washington from action. Photo: Associated Press.
This transcript has been automatically generated and may not be 100% accurate.
... the ... crisis in Syria continues to escalate as Israel launches its rights in Asia says it is highly likely that chemical weapons we use ... that is a Washington bureau chief Jerry Sithe has been having private conversations with administration officials ... and joins us now with three key reasons why the White House might be hesitant to jump in the fried stuff into it ... legacy of ... this and this looks like a real dilemma for the about administration I'm ... clearly there's a lot of this is growing pressure on them ... to to intervene someone in what is a tidying this an idea ... that the cost of doing so ... Robison therein lies my app for some of the so the big issues that are on the ... well the the the ... Yeh that's right and this is an agonizing promise there are an easy solution that would of been a decision made weeks months maybe even a year ago but the reality is that there's no good option in Syria ... this is the land of many troubles and there's no quick way out of the mess there ... I think what worries the White House most as they think about getting involved militarily or three things first is that ... if you were super power you can afford to win in a small way you have to be decisive otherwise you look as if your hobble superpower ... that's got bad implications increase ... from the editor on a place like that so you gotta do when you have to live a life that means secondly if it doesn't go ... into prevail you gotta go when bigots and on the opposition get enough weapons ... to succeed and that inevitably means the case of Syria ... you'd be providing some weapons that ... very likely would end up in the hands of people that we don't like the bad guys of the street opposition to clean the Islamic extremists they're not and that's a real rest ... I think the third risk that that the ... White House's been worried about is that if you go in to any situation like this as a superpower ... ay there's the other nations step back in you own the problem here to be expected not just to win now ... but the fix things up afterwards and I think those are all eyes serious issue serious concerns with digital ones and those of the reasons the White House is hesitating ... certain that last point no we need to do is think about Afghanistan and Iraq in an obviously ... you know that the idea that we would want to have a warranty Bolton one ... right next to Israel strikes me is the isthe Laming concern for a lot of people ... you run ... the son Stephen Hadley here Fama's NASA secure devices into George W Bush he's critical he's calling on the bow mistress and to act ... I'm ... I think he signed it if we have made billion ... maybe this concern about ... me the ... the bad guys as the Wu would be so try to what what's the take on that ... well that that is the target hearing a lot from people who like Steve Hadley have been advocates of getting involved in arming the opposition for awhile that their argument is ... that by not doing that earlier by not moving in to strengthen the moderates in the Syrian opposition particularly general interests is overtired or ex EA ... I've defecting Syrian army general now the part of the Syrian opposition ... party people like federal they would build them up internally would've allowed ... them to keep the Islamic forces at bay but that that didn't happen and so the Islamic forces to being alarmed by ... countries in some cases private individuals from the Persian Gulf have been ... built up their relative to the moderate forces in the way they would have been otherwise so that's all what if that's true it's water all over the DM right now anyway ... the question is can you now get arms to people who are the good guys and not see them end up in the hands of the bad guys ... this Deepavali among other still see Sophie as possible and and what about the strikes ... from Israel the CD in and of themselves something that could result in escalation but Israel's concerns of course ... I that that in the context of this war ... bigger weapons of coming in ... soon ... to Syria perhaps aam Hezbollah ... in Levanon ... aam ... it should be something to be done to ... to to to stop that and in this is what is Israel the right people the ... family ... well I guess it there's two edges of the story one is that you know people look at Israel doing ... taxes like that taking out sms Syrian missiles before they get to as flossing their shows you that this conflict ... could widen their could now be Syrian retribution ... you can reach toward and that's certainly true but on the other hand I think if you're looking at that situation from the U S point of view ... and Israel is doing something surgically sick I'll keep the has a lot worse on the containment and reduce the chances that this becomes ... of a wider war on the sponsor the event thing in it so this is the U S from the trouble of having to do exactly the same thing ... so I think there's clearly a regional while war riskier I know that it's greater than it's been winner Ben conflagration with Syria the past most of its elegance Gary synonyms of but something when he stood in the Middle East ...

Welcome to the Fletcher LL.M. in International Law. I am very proud to represent our program, which each year offers a unique academic experience to a select group of students.
Since 1933, the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy has had the goal of increasing international understanding, and preparing students from around the globe for leadership positions. Reflecting that goal, the Fletcher LL.M. program is different from programs offered by traditional law schools. It is focused exclusively on issues of public and private international law, across a range of nearly 30 courses taught by experts in international law with extensive real world experience. The program is purposefully small (between 12 and 18 students), and our students are a diverse and vibrant group hailing from the U.S. and abroad.
As you consider your options for graduate school, there are two aspects of the Fletcher School's LL.M. that I believe make it unique among LL.M. programs, and a compelling choice for those seeking to concentrate on the study of international law. First, the interdisciplinary nature of our program allows you as a student to see issues of international law in their social, economic, and political contexts. As an LL.M. student at Fletcher, you build a strong foundation in international law, and will have the opportunity to complement that foundation with courses from the diverse group of political science, history, business and economics courses that make up the Fletcher curriculum. I frequently hear from alumni that this opportunity to see global issues through a different lens has helped them to collaborate with colleagues from different academic backgrounds as they work on international legal issues.
Second, the small size of our program and the strength of the Fletcher community mean that the Fletcher LL.M. is highly personalized, and each LL.M. student receives active mentorship from our faculty. If you choose to study at Fletcher, you will be matched with an academic advisor in your field of interest who will guide you in your studies throughout the year. You will also have a Capstone advisor, who will guide you as you research and develop a "Capstone" thesis, which offers students the opportunity to concentrate on an international law issue of particular interest. As a larger group, the program hosts LL.M. students for monthly "High Table" and "Brown Bag" lunches, where experts in various aspects of international law visit the program to discuss their work. We also host a year-end Capstone Retreat, where students present their thesis work and join professors and visiting practitioners for topical conversations on issues in international law. Our personalized approach and cohesive community make our LL.M. unique in comparison with our peers' larger programs, and will empower you to make the most of your time here at Fletcher.
I invite you to read more about the Fletcher LL.M. on our website, visit the campus, and reach out to myself or our Assistant Director, Lucia Foulkes, with any questions. If you choose to join us, I think you will find that our approach to the study of international law will arm you with a unique and powerful skill set- wherever your career in international law may lead.

Amaranth: A Healthy Oatmeal Alternative
Try this recipe using vanilla, dried cranberries and walnuts
En español | For decades now we've known that oatmeal is good for us: This hot cereal makes the top 10 of nearly every list of "superfoods." Now amaranth, a nutritious ancient grain, is gaining popularity and availability. Could amaranth be the new oatmeal?
Subscribe to the AARP Health Newsletter
I had played around with this grain when working on my latest book, Cook Without a Book: Meatless Meals, but I didn't take it seriously until recently, when my husband, David, and I spent the night with our daughter Maggy and her husband.
It was a weekday morning and we were all trying to get out the door — David and I needed to catch a train — when Maggy said, "I'll just put on a little amaranth." David, whose cholesterol numbers were slightly elevated at his last doctor visit, perked up: He's been on a mission to find cholesterol-reducing foods to enjoy. As Maggy ladled up the hot amaranth, she talked about its health benefits, including the fact that it's very high in protein, and full of iron and other nutrients. And some studies have suggested that it may help lower cholesterol levels.
With a little nuts and dried fruit, coconut milk and maple syrup, the breakfast was satisfying and stick-to-the-ribs.
David and I get our amaranth in the bulk section at Whole Foods, but any place that carries Bob's Red Mill brand should have it. For those who don't live near a store where amaranth is available, you can order it from online sources such as Amazon, Walmart and Target.
Everyone in our family loves the warm vanilla amaranth, and agrees that roasted nuts not only add flavor, they also offer texture to this soft, gelatinous hot cereal. Serve it with your favorite dairy, soy or nut milk, and a drizzling of agave, maple syrup or honey. And feel free to substitute equal amounts of other dried fruits for the suggested cranberries, and other kinds of nuts for the walnuts.
Warm Vanilla Amaranth With Dried Cranberries and Walnuts
Serves 4
Note: You can shave off 5 to 10 minutes from the cooking time by soaking the amaranth in the salted water overnight.
- 3 cups water
- Pinch salt
- 1 cup amaranth
- 1/2 cup dried cranberries (cherry flavored is nice)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup toasted and coarsely chopped walnuts
Bring water and salt to boil over medium-high heat in a large saucepan or small Dutch oven. Whisk in amaranth; reduce heat to low, and continue to cook to desired hot cereal consistency, about 20 minutes. Stir in cranberries and vanilla; continue to cook until cranberries have plumped, a couple of minutes longer. Serve, sprinkling with walnuts and a drizzling of your favorite milk and sweetener.
Leftover amaranth can be covered and refrigerated for several days. To warm the cereal, simply stir in a little water or milk, and gently reheat on the stovetop or in the microwave.

HARTSVILLE, S.C. – Junior Sharod Williams (Miami, Fla.) led the Cobra men's basketball team to a 79-66 win over the College of Coastal Georgia with a double-double performance Tuesday night. Williams netted a career high 17 points and pulled down a game high 15 rebounds to help Coker improve to 5-2 on the year.
Fellow junior Austin Harper (Chesnee, S.C.) was Coker's leading scorer with 19 points and seven rebounds. Sophomore Julian Nelson (Irmo, S.C.) added 18 points and five assists as the Cobras' third double-digit scorer.
Coker and Coastal Georgia were evenly matched for opening five minutes of play, but a three-pointer by Andrew Morris (Melbourne, Australia) at the 15 minute mark put the Cobras on top for good.
The Mariners cut the lead to just one with 11 minutes left in the first, but that would be as close as they would get. The Cobras took a 34-30 lead into halftime and then used a 45 point second half to take home the win.
Marcus Morrison scored 22 points to pace the Mariners, while Jared Paul scored 17 points and Cory Wheeler added 15.
McDonald's Player of the Game- Sharod Williams
Williams scored a career high 17 points with 15 rebounds to lead the Cobras.
The McDonald's Player of the Game is presented by the Hartsville McDonald's and is given to the most outstanding performer during each Coker College home athletic event.

Nancy Owens Memorial Foundation: Community supports breast cancer research
On Oct. 7, almost 900 people attended the 12th Annual Nancy Owens Memorial Foundation Luncheon at The Westin Galleria.
This was a very successful luncheon, with the largest attendance in the Foundation's history, enabling the foundation to impact the community with energy and enthusiasm and raise awareness about breast cancer.
At the luncheon, the foundation donated $100,000 to three research projects. Dr. Kent Osborne and Dr. Eric Chang from the Lester and Sue Smith Breast Center at Baylor College of Medicine, Dr. Anthony Lucci from the University of Texas MD Anderson, and Dr. Alessandro Grattoni with The Department of Nanomedicine with the Houston Methodist Research Institute, accepted the generous check on behalf of their organizations. This brings the grand total of monies donated by the foundation to more than $1.2 million.
The Nancy Owens Memorial Foundation was created in memory of Nancy Owens, a much-loved and well-respected icon in the Houston real estate industry.
Owens lost her courageous 20-year battle with breast cancer in September 2001. One of Owens' final wishes, if she had survived her battle with cancer, was to dedicate a large part of her life to the fight against breast cancer and the continued advancement of its research toward finding a cure. It is that very dream that lives on today.
The luncheon opened with a commemorative video, which celebrated the life of Nancy Owens and the continued success of the foundation created in Owens' name and honor.
Ilona Carson with KTRK-TV (Ch. 13) hosted the event as MC and announced the foundation's success and its continued commitment to raising additional funds throughout the year through the foundation's annual "Swing for the Cure" Golf Tournament. The 2014 golf tournament will be held April 7 at Sweetwater Country Club.
The foundation receives community-wide support and during the luncheon, several accolades were given.
The foundation particularly was grateful to Mike Huff with Prudential Anderson Properties for his generosity at the Diamond level sponsorship (a $15,000 contribution) this year. Also thanked was Jennifer Hernandez with Patriot Bank Mortgage, who generously donated at the Platinum level (a $10,000 contribution).
Also recognized were the Houston Chronicle, media sponsor, and the Houston Association of Realtors, professional sponsor, for their continued support.
The guest speaker for the luncheon was Martina Navratilova. As a champion on and off the court, Navratilova is not only a tennis legend, but an inspirational leader who demonstrates tenacity, candor and motivation. Among the best tennis players ever to step on the court, Navratilova amassed an unmatched number of professional records over the course of a career that spanned four decades. She has won 59 Grand Slam crowns, a record nine Wimbledon singles champions, and overcame the odds to become both one of the most successful tennis players ever and an equally successful leader.
Navratilova spoke about her journey to success and how the lessons she learned carried her through her award winning tennis career and fight against breast cancer.
She touched on the "five ways to be good at your worst." Navratilova is currently cancer free and has retired from being a tennis champion, however she exclaimed that "she will never retire from being a champion of gay rights, women's rights, human rights, animal rights … All rights!"
Foundation officials said all attendees left the event raving about Navratilova's message.
This year, the annual "Update from the Lab" was printed in the program compliments of Dr. C. Kent Osborne with Baylor College of Medicine. In his words, "It has been an exciting time in breast cancer research as several new, and very promising, drugs have become available to women fighting breast cancer."
Osborne, director of the Dan L. Duncan Cancer Center and the Lester and Sue Smith Breast Center at Baylor College of Medicine, said a less toxic, therapeutic option is on the horizon for HER2-positive breast cancer patients, who comprise approximately 25 percent of breast cancer diagnoses. Researchers within the Lester and Sue Smith Breast Cencer have found that the combination of two targeted drugs, lapatinib (Tykerb) and trastuzumab (Herceptin), is effective in treating HER2-positive breast cancer.
Another advance for HER2-positive patients is the FDA's approval of two new drugs. The first is pertuzumab (Perjeta), which is combined with trastuzumab and chemotherapy to treat women with late-stage, metastatic breast cancer. There also have been exciting developments for women with ER-positive breast cancer, which comprises about 70 percent of breast cancer.
A new class of drugs called CDK4/6 inhibitors has shown great promise in making anti-estrogen therapy more effective by targeting an important mechanism of resistance in cancer cells.
In short, these new drugs are getting us closer to the goal of more personalized treatments, tailored specifically for each patient and each breast cancer, while sparing many women the side effects and toxicity of traditional chemotherapy.
Eric Chang, Ph.D. at BCM, will receive a portion of the 2013 proceeds for his research that aims to verify a novel therapeutic target for triple-negative breast cancer, a very aggressive form of breast cancer that is responsible for approximately one-third of diagnosed cases.
The objective of targeting N-Ras as a key growth pathway to eradicate basal-like/triple negative breast cancer is to uncover a key mechanism for regulating the development of basal-like/triple negative breast cancer, the most aggressive form of breast cancer and which lacks targeted therapy.
This project centers on the N-Ras protein, which we hypothesize to be selectively overexpressed in the type of breast cancer and thus controls the growth and progression of the tumor.
Anthony Lucci Jr., M.D., F.A.C.S., associate professor in the Department of Surgical Oncology, at the University of Texas MD Anderson, will receive the a portion of the 2013 proceeds for his research in developing ways to identify, characterize and eradicate breast cancer micrometastases.
About one-third of patients with breast cancer have metastases, or cells that have spread from their original tumors to other parts of the body, that are too small to be detected by current diagnostic test.
These micrometastases are often resistant to conventional therapies and continue to grow even after treatment of the primary tumors.
Lucci is currently initiating the first clinical trial in the United States to offer a therapy specifically targeted at eradicating CTCs and DTCs, which he notes "has the potential to improve survival within the very near future, since metastases ultimately determine the outcome from breast cancer."
Dr. Alessandro Grattoni with The Department of Nanomedicine with the Houston Methodist Research Institute, also will receive a portion of the 2013 proceeds for his research titled NanoGland for Breast Cancer Prevention.
The study will examine if local delivery of letrozole and exemestane by nDS is more effective for cancer prevention as compared to oral administration.
Specifically, they hypothesize that the nDS implant can provide a constant, sustained, and low-dose local delivery of aromatase inhibitors in breast tissues, significantly reducing estrogen dependent epithelial cell proliferation, while minimizing systemic exposure.
Another highlight at this year's luncheon was the presentation of the "Nancy Owens Spirit of Courage Award," which reflects the courage of an extraordinary individual in the community who has fought the battle against cancer and won.
This year's award was presented to Raghda Henthorne. Henthorne thanked her family and friends who guided her through the journey. Her remarks brought the crowd to their feet. Henthorne received a Waterford crystal Angel.
Attendees had several opportunities to support the foundation by purchasing raffle tickets, and bidding on silent auction items. The Foundation expressed a very special thank you to all who generously donated items and services.
The Foundation's planning committee is made up of community members whose lives have all been touched by Nancy Owens, including some of her closest friends, whose tireless efforts, dedication and love of Nancy has been the driving force behind the success of the foundation.
The committee members are: Amy Bernstein, Cheri Fama, Debera Fontenot, Gail Evans, Gloria Moorman, Jennifer Hernandez, Katherine Stewart, Katie Aguilar, Leash Yu, Lynn Mather, Mary Piper, Mariella Massa, Mike McFarland, Peggie Kohnert, Phil Rader, Rhagda Henthorne, Robin Mueck, Terri Guerra and Vicki Fullerton.
The Nancy Owens Memorial Foundation exemplifies how professionals in all aspects can band together for a common cause and make a difference and commit to finding a cure.
For more information or to make a donation, please call 713-932-1032 or visit www.NancyOwens.org. The Nancy Owens Memorial Foundation is a 501(c)(3) corporation.

His art isn't just great by concept art standards. If I could print these off in a giant size, stick 'em in a giant wooden frame and hang them in my house, I would. They're like pieces from a classical art gallery, only instead of featuring stuff like picnics and men with large dogs was full of paintings about dragons.

By Wesley J. Cagle
One of my personal favorite tips is something I've done for a long time, and it really works for tricking a deer's nose.
I'm almost never winded, and have had countless deer walk within feet of me. It's become a routine now.
All I do is take fresh pine needles — preferably from a young tree — and break them every few inches, then rub the clumps on the tops of my hands, refreshing continually during my hunt.
I take all the other necessary precautions by showering with scent-free soap and wearing scent-elimination clothing, as well as using unscented deodorant and washing my clothes in scent-killer detergent.
But if you'll keep a small cluster of pine leaves handy and rub them on your hands from time to time, it will help mask orders that build throughout the hunt from perspiration. You'll blend into the surroundings more, and the deer will have a much harder time smelling you.
– Editor's Note by Tim H. Martin
This pine needle tactic used by Wesley J. Cagle is something I've done for many years, and I really believe this extra little step works in keeping human scent masked.
It's so simple yet effective that I'm surprised no one has submitted this tip before!
One of the first things I do when I arrive at my hunting land is snap off a brushy branch of pine needles and get to rubbing. My hunting buddies say they know I've been hunting a lot when there are no reachable pine leaves around the parking area.
But I take Wesley's advice a lot further. In addition to my hands, I make sure to wipe down my backpack, rifle strap and other easily overlooked gear. I even like to attach a few pine leaves to the webbing of my backpack.
Make sure to put on gloves before handling the evergreen leaves. There is enough sap, even in the needles and small branches, to gum up your hands. That can be an annoyance all hunt long.
Really get in there! Make sure the residue from the pine leaves is permeating whatever you are rubbing down. It will take some elbow grease and friction to get it started. You'll begin to smell the wonderful fresh scent as the residues are released.
This might sound a little crude, but some places on the human body emit more odors than others. Give your fanny area a little extra attention. If it's hot, make sure to scrub your armpit areas. And don't forget your hat.
There are some regions of the country where pine trees don't grow, but usually some sort of evergreen is readily available. I've heard of bear hunters using fir limbs in Canada, deer hunters using cedar in the Midwest and bowhunters in the Desert Southwest using a sage rub in antelope country.
If I'm using this trick along with scent-eliminating clothing, cover scents and scent-killer products, I know I'm doing everything I can do in the odor-masking department to stay undetected, and my confidence soars.

Office of Child Support Hearings
The mission of the Office of Child Support Hearings (OCSH) is to resolve child support disputes fairly, impartially, and expeditiously.
General information
The OCSH, established in 1988, continues its efforts to improve the adjudication of child support matters through the contested case hearing process, pursuant to the directives of Governor David Ige and Lt. Governor Shan S. Tsutsui, together with initiatives implemented by the Attorney General, Douglas S. Chin.
We believe children should have the financial support of both parents. Our efforts to help the families of Hawaiʻi will be guided by principles of fairness and impartiality in applying Hawaii's Child Support Guidelines, as well as state and federal laws applicable to child support issues.
The OCSH conducts administrative hearings to establish, enforce, or change child support orders (including medical support). The Child Support Enforcement Agency (CSEA) processes all cases heard by the OCSH. This administrative forum is an alternative to Family Court legal proceedings for child support matters only.
OCSH administrative orders have the same force and effect as Family Court orders for establishing, modifying, terminating or enforcing child support obligations.
OCSH conducts administrative hearings regarding child support pursuant to Chapters 91 and 576E of the Hawaiʻi Revised Statutes when parties (parents or guardians) object to a proposed action or order of the Child Support Enforcement Agency (CSEA).
OCSH delivered a half-hour presentation to the HSBA Oahu Family Law Section on April 10, 2015. Click on the link below to view a pdf of the slides from the presentation.

"Everything in this world . . . is big with jest,--and has wit in it, and instruction too,--if we can but find it out."
--Laurence Sterne, Tristram ShandyI came to the University of North Florida in 2001 from Stanford University, where I wrote a dissertation on late-seventeenth English stereotypes about the Dutch. On its face, English anti-Dutch stereotyping might seem a topic of 'vain scholarship,' but for me it spoke to much about the world in which I was living. For two decades I had resided in San Francisco, a city known for its lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender community. The vitriolic stereotyping directed at San Franciscans stemmed from anxiety about new developments in gender relations. Similarly, Holland, the birthplace of capitalist modernity, troubled the English because they believed it was a "topsy-turvy" place where everything—even relations between men and women—was backwards. England's gender order was profoundly patriarchal, whereas in Holland modern sex roles and relative gender equality were beginning to emerge. English anti-Dutch satire strove to shore up traditional gender roles by depicting Holland as an 'unnatural' place where women ruled men. The dissertation was published in a number of articles, the most important of which were "Clashing Masculinities in Aphra Behn's The Dutch Lover" in SEL and "The Dutch Wives' Good Husbandry: Defoe's Roxana and Financial Self-Fashioning" in Eighteenth-Century Studies.Imaginative literature is the site for exploring major issues that are emerging in a society but that remain too unformed to be systematically addressed. Only later—after new stories start to circulate—do other disciplines (i.e., psychology, sociology, economics) formally examine them. One type of story that has emerged in the last thirty years is that associated with disability. People who in earlier generations would have died from an injury, ailment, of congenital defect today are surviving on account of the benefits afforded by medicine, biotechnology, and pharmacology. And yet, all too frequently these survivors must live with severely compromised bodies. So many are surviving, in fact, that a new category of identity is emerging: if one were to ask people who have spinal chord injuries or who are living with Spina bifida what most makes them who they are, the first thing coming to their minds would not be their race, ethnicity, or gender. The stories behind these medical 'miracles' are beginning to be told in inconsiderable numbers and are forcing society confront new questions. Since coming to UNF, I began developing an interest in Disability Studies in the Humanities, and I now serve on the editorial board of The Journal of Literary and Cultural Disability Studies. This field delves into the nature, meaning, and consequences of what it is to be defined as disabled and explores the historical and cultural dynamics of disability. In my teaching I bring to my students' attention texts from literature, film, television, the arts, and other cultural media addressing the stereotypes associated with and the experiential aspects of disability. To a lesser degree I also ask my students to think about disability rights and identity, legal issues, and public policy. I have become fascinated by how our present-day conceptions of mental ability and disability grew out of the period known alternatively as the Enlightenment or the Age of Reason. This was a period when the criteria by which the question of what constituted the human were shifting from those based on physical shape and presence of a soul to those dependent on mental capacity and especially linguistic capability. As Lennard Davis points out, "philosophers of the period were obsessed with trying to define what made humans human" (Enforcing 55). The question of who qualifies as a 'person' remains terribly relevant today as cost containment in public policy matters becomes ever more pressing. In cash-strapped times, among the first to be escorted to an 'assisted suicide' will be those failing to meet Princeton philosopher Peter Singer's definition of a 'person'—the cognitively impaired. My research responds to this trend by disclosing the genealogy and contingencies of our concept of cognitive impairment. I am working on a book-length project, "Idiocy and Wit: Reading Mental Dis/Ability in the Age of Reason," which, in addition to other texts, looks deeply into John Locke's 1690 Essay concerning Human Understanding, considering its depictions of physiologically based mental impairment and its metaphorical applications. Two articles represent my work in this field: "From Idiot Beast to Idiot Sublime: Mental Disability in John Cleland's Fanny Hill" in PMLA and, operating in the later, Victorian period, "From Custodial Care to Caring Labor: The Discourse of Who Cares in Jane Eyre," which will form a chapter in a forthcoming anthology, The Madwoman and the Blindman: Jane Eyre, Discourse, Disability from Ohio State UP.

PITTSBURGH (AP) – A judge has given former Pittsburgh police chief Nate Harper more time to file pre-trial motions in the corruption case against him.
U.S. District Judge Cathy Bissoon on Wednesday granted the request from Harper's attorney, even though prosecutors objected.
Attorney Robert Leight says in the motion that Harper is engaged in plea negotiations with prosecutors, but no agreement has been reached yet.
Harper was indicted in March and charged with conspiracy and four counts of failure to file tax returns. Prosecutors allege that Harper conspired with others to divert more than $70,000 from a city account into unauthorized credit union accounts and spent nearly $32,000 of that.
Harper's new deadline for filing the motions is Sept. 10.

Our Father among the saints, Chrysostomos of Smyrna (birth name Kalafatis, in Greek Καλαφάτης, 1867-1922), was a Metropolitan of the Greek Orthodox population of Smyrna (now Izmir in Turkey) between 1910 and 1914 and again from 1919 to his death in 1922. He was notable for his charity work and for having been deeply involved in the politics of his day. He was lynched and brutally murdered by a Turkish mob incited by Nurettin Pasha in Smyrna on September 9 1922 soon after the Turkish army regained control of the city at the end of the Greco-Turkish War (1919-1922) and sent the Greek population into exile. He is also known to be the founder of the sports club Panionios. His feast day is celebrated on August 27.
He was born in Triglia of Bithynia in 1867.
In 1902 he was elected Metropolitan of Drama by the Holy Synod of the Ecumenical Patriarchate. Drama, located in Eastern Macedonia, had a predominantly Greek population but at the time was part of the Ottoman Empire and was engulfed in the Balkan Wars. The metropolitan worked to encourage the Greek population to build schools and churches, take back churches occupied by the Bulgarians, and to build athletic centers, hospitals, and nursery schools.
His actions led to his exile on August 30, 1907, by the Turkish authorities. On May 10, 1910, he was elected Metropolitan of Smyrna. During World War I and the persecution of the Greeks of Anatolia by the Ottoman Empire, he helped members of the Greek population to take refuge in the Greek islands of the Aegean. Additionally, he served as a spokesman for the civilian population to diplomatic officials and the world press. The German ambassador in Constantinople wrote that Chrysostomos "stands to the best of living clerics." His actions resulted in a second exile on August 20, 1914, when he left Smyrna for Constantinople.
Following the end of the world war, he returned to Smyrna. On May 2, 1919, the Greek army occupied Smyrna in accordance with the terms of the Treaty of Sèvres. Chrysostomos continued his work with the Greek population while also supporting the needs of the Turkish and Armenian populations.
He was notable for his charity work and for having been deeply involved in the politics of his day.[1]
After the defeat of the Greek Army in Anatolia and the reoccupation of Smyrna by the Turks, Chrysostomos refused to leave Smyrna and abandon his flock. The metropolitan was abducted by a mob incited by Nureddin Pasha on September 9, 1922. According to eyewitness accounts, he was tied to a barber chair, cruelly tortured, and put to death.[2]
Metropolitan Chrysostomos was survived by his nephews, among whom Yannis Elefteriades, who witnessed the arrest and execution of his uncle, having found shelter by his side after the killing of his parents. He escaped to Lebanon, where today, his grandson Michel Elefteriades is a well known Greek-Lebanese politician, artist and producer.
The metropolitan is generally considered an ethnomartyr of the Orthodox Church and the Greek nation, and he was canonized in 1993, with the Feast day of 27th August.

- ↑ The American Consul at Smyrna, George Horton, wrote in his book The Blight of Asia that he "was there [in Smyrna] up until the evening of September 11, 1922, on which date the city was set on fire by the army of Mustapha Khemal." Horton refers to "Metropolitan Chrysostom" several times: "on one occasion I was present at an important service in the Orthodox Cathedral, to which the representative of the various powers, as well as the principal Greek authorities, had been invited. The [Hellenic] High-Commissioner [for Ionia, Aristidis Stergiadis, which Horton spells 'Sterghiades'] had given the order that the service should be strictly religious and non-political. Unfortunately, Archbishop Chrysostom (he who was later murdered by the Turks) began to introduce some politics into his sermon, a thing which he was extremely prone to do. Sterghiades, who was standing near him, interrupted, saying: 'But I told you I didn't want any of this.' The archbishop flushed, choked, and breaking off his discourse abruptly, ended with, 'In the name of the Father, Son and Holy Ghost, Amen,' and stepped off the rostrum." [1] Marjorie Housepian (Hovsepian) Dobkin remarks in her book The Smyrna Affair that "The Archbishop's murder was reported to Admiral Dumesnil aboard the French flagship."
- ↑ "According to the French observers,...'The mob took possession of Metropolitan Chrysostom and carried him away,...a little further on, in front of an Italian hairdresser named Ismail...they stopped and the Metropolitan was slipped into a white hairdresser's overall. They began to beat him with their fists and sticks and to spit on his face. They riddled him with stabs. They tore his beard off, they gouged his eyes out, they cut off his nose and ears.' The French soldiers were disgusted by what they saw and wished to intervene, but their commanding officer was under orders to remain strictly neutral. At the point of a revolver, he forbade his men from saving the metropolitan's life. Chrysostom was dragged into a backstreet in the Iki Cheshmeli district, where he eventually died from his terrible wounds." Milton, Giles.
