BALTIMORE, Md. – James Madison senior linebacker Stephon Robertson (Alexandria, Va./Edison) was named the Colonial Athletic Association Preseason Defensive Player of the Year and was one of three Dukes named to the preseason squad, announced today at the CAA Football Media Day at M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore, Md. Joining Robertson on the squad was junior safety Dean Marlowe (Queens, N.Y./Holy Cross HS) and senior kicker Cameron Starke (Halifax, Va./Halifax County (West Virginia)). Madison was selected to finish fifth in the preseason poll, as chosen by the league's coaches and sports information directors.
The Dukes were picked fifth overall in the preseason poll, despite having the second-most first-place votes with four. Villanova was picked to take home the league title, garnering 11 first-place votes, followed by Towson (three votes), New Hampshire (three votes), Richmond (one vote) and Madison. Delaware was picked sixth, followed by CAA-newcomer Stony Brook, Maine and William & Mary. The other CAA-newcomer Albany and Rhode Island round out the poll.
The 2012 CAA Defensive Player of the Year, Robertson was previously selected as a Walter Camp All-American and a Second Team Associated Press and Sports Network All-American, as well as earning First Team All-CAA honors. A starter in all 11 games last year and 34 played in his career, Robertson was a force for Madison's defense, which ranked second in the CAA and 24th in FCS football in scoring, first in the league and 19th nationally in rushing defense and fifth in the CAA in pass defense. Also a finalist for the Buck Buchanan Award as the nation's top defensive player, Robertson finished with a team-high 101 tackles, including 48 solos, 8.5 tackles for loss, 1.0 sacks, one interception, one forced fumble and five pass breakups, which earned him First Team All-CAA honors for the second straight year after being named CAA Defensive Rookie of the Year in 2010. Also a finalist for the Dudley Award as the state's top Division I player, he was third in the league and tied for 43rd in the nation with 9.18 tackles per game. He led JMU in tackles in seven of the 11 games played this year and recorded double-digit tackles in six games, five of them CAA contests.
In his career, Robertson has started in 34 of a possible 35 games. He has amassed 304 career tackles, an average of 8.94 tackles per game, despite being targeted as a threat by every opposing offense. He has also been named a 2013 Preseason All-American by Phil Steel's College Football Preview and The Sports Network and is also on the initial watch list for the Buck Buchanan Award after finishing second among underclassmen and eighth overall in last year's balloting despite appearing on just the final watch list.
A two-time All-CAA selection, including a first-team honor last season, Marlowe was the only sophomore and one of four non-seniors on the league's first team last year. A Preseason All-America pick by The Sports Network, the safety had a career season-high 82 tackles on the year, including 44 solos, 5.0 for loss, seven passes defended, team-high tying three interceptions, one forced fumble and one safety. One of the leaders on a JMU defense that was second in the CAA in scoring, first in rushing and fifth in pass defense, Marlowe ranked second on the team, third among CAA defensive backs and ninth in the CAA overall at 7.45 tackles per game and 7.63 in league contests. He was tied for eighth in the league with three interceptions and recorded a season-high 12 tackles in the home win over William & Mary, one of two games with 10 or more tackles on the year.
A Second Team All-CAA pick last year, Starke was a solid kicker for the Dukes, hitting all 37 of his point after attempts and going 10-for-14 (71.4 percent) on the year in field goal attempts, including connecting on all seven from inside 40 yards. He ranked second on the team in scoring with 67 points, including a career-long 49-yarder as part of a 13-10 win over then-defending CAA champion Towson. For his career, he is 25-of-33 (.758) on field goals and 71-of-72 (.987) on extra points, including two game-winning field goals on final plays in 2011. His 15 field goals in 2011 tied a school record for a single season as he is a career 25-for-33 (75.8 percent) on field goals.
Madison will open the 2013 season at home on August 30, hosting Central Connecticut State at 6 p.m.
CAA Preseason Predicted Order of Finish
1. Villanova (11)
2. Towson (3)
3. New Hampshire (3)

Description of the substance
The 2 beautiful fotos are offered with kind permission of the "Deutsche Kakteen-Gesellschaft e.V." and Mr. Erich Haugg. Thank you very much!
any plant of the family Cactaceae, a large group of succulents found almost entirely in the New World. A cactus plant is conspicuous for its fleshy green stem, which performs the functions of leaves (commonly insignificant or absent), and for the spines (not always present) of various colors, shapes, and arrangements. Cactus flowers are notably delicate in appearance although usually large and showy; they are commonly yellow, white, or shades of red and purple. Many species are pollinated by bats. Cactus fruits are berries and are usually edible. A cactus plant appears on the coat of arms of Mexico, and the blossom of the giant cactus, or saguaro (Cereus giganteus), is the state flower of Arizona. 1
The plants vary from small, round globes to epiphytes, vines, and large treelike forms. The reduced leaf surface, the enlarged fleshy stem, which is well fitted to store water and to retain it, and the ramified and extensive root system (much reduced in cultivated cacti) make the plant particularly adapted to regions of high temperature and long dry periods. Cacti are not restricted to desert regions, however, for in America they range from the tropics into Canada. 2
Most cacti bloom in the spring for a very short period, sometimes for only a few hours. The blossoms are noticeably sensitive to light, and often different species blossom only at specific times of the day. One of the most famous of the cacti is the night-blooming cereus usually classified as Selenicereus or C. grandiflora (several other night-blooming cactus species bear the same common name). Its fragrant blossoms unfold at a visible rate after sunset and last only a single night. In many of its native habitats the flowering of this cactus is celebrated with festivals. 3
Economic Importance
The largest cactus genus is Opuntia, jointed-stemmed species recognizable by the fleshy stems made up of either cylindrical (in the cane cacti and the chollas) or flattened (in the prickly pears) joints called pads. The large pear-shaped berries of several of these species are edible, e.g., the cultivated varieties of the Indian fig and the tuna. This fruit is common in Mexican markets; the plants have been widely naturalized in the Mediterranean countries, Australia, and elsewhere as a source of food. Most opuntias grow so rapidly to a large and ungainly size that they are unsuitable for cultivation as ornamentals, and in the wild often become weeds. 4
However, the major economic importance of the cactus family is in the florists' trade. Among those cultivated for their showy blossoms are the Christmas cactus (Zygocactus) and species of Echinocereus and of Epiphyllum, the orchid cactus. The pincushion cacti (Mammillaria), the golden ball cactus (Echinocactus), and the hedgehog cactus (Echinopsis) are among the many grown as oddities for their curious appearance. 5
The nopal (Nopalea coccinellifera) is the cactus traditionally cultivated as a host for the cochineal insect, and the hallucinatory drug mescaline occurs in the genera Lophophora (peyote) and Trichocereus. Other cacti are used as a substitute for wood, as stock feed, and for hedges. 6
Cactus is classified in the division Magnoliophyta, class Magnoliopsida, order Caryophyllales, family Cactaceae. 7

regular shocking with chlorine is a bad idea. Chlorine is bad for the pump, fittings and wiring.
A properly sized water softener will take care of the iron and hardness problems.
Turbidity refers to the clarity of the sample. filtration will clear that up also. I'm going to steer clear of specific brand recommendations because for some reason that always leads to endless arguments here, suffice to say that you should do some product research and buy the best equipment you can afford.

You are Chaco!
Chaconians are our pride and joy! They pound pavement, trails, and waves. They teach, reach, and perform. They're people who trust their Chacos, and we're honored to support them.
Average Rating: 5.0
10 reviews
This shoe rocks! I was hesitant to purchase due to hearing uncomfortableness when you first wear them, and they were for a bit, but only slightly. Wearing them for short periods, 1-2 hours, helped break them in and now they are fabulous! Not to mention that the print is uncommon on adults so I get compliments on them all the time. I'm usually a 6/6.5 in Women's and this Kid's 4 fit like a glove.
Product Size Rating: Sized as Expected
How do you most use this product?: Walking to campus and camp
I purchased this sandal for my seven-year-old neighbor girl. She is delighted with the leopard Chaco sandals; all of her friends raved about the design, too. I am now her favorite person. I thought the size 2 I ordered was a little large for her; but the shoes looked fine on her feet, and her mother thought that size 1 would be too small--if not immediately in only a few weeks. I know from having several Chaco sandals myself that the sandals will be practical for her as well as giving her a "top of fashion" look.
Chaco's Reply: That is awesome you wanted her to experience the great support and look of Chacos! The Leopard print is super cute. Thank you for sharing this review!
Product Size Rating: Sized as Expected
How do you most use this product?: gift for second grader-wears all the time
I usually wear a women's 6-6.5 but I found out I could fit into a child's 4 and the child's were much cheaper so I decided to buy those instead. I brought them on a vacation with me to Antigua last month and I went swimming with them on in the Caribbean Sea! These are really great for travelling in airports (easy to take off at security and comfy to run in to catch a flight ;) ) and very comfortable in the winter time with a nice thick pair of socks. I can't wait until spring so I can buy another pair! I highly recommend these sandals!
Chaco's Reply: We are so happy you have come to love our awesome sandals. Thanks for your great recommendations, and all of your support!

Second quarter economic confidence survey results show downturn
The debt ceiling debate revived discussions about unemployment, job losses and the state of the economy, which are all topics that have never been far from the minds of dentists and other small business owners.
The national economy continues to take its time improving and dentists, like many small business owners, are feeling the pinch. Second quarter results from the American Dental Association's Survey of Economic Confidence show a downturn in some of the indicators measured.
"The downward movement seen in the indicators is consistent with past second quarter performance dips, indicating a seasonality effect in the economics of a dental practice," according to the survey's executive summary. "In addition, the U.S. economic recovery has been slower than expected in the first half of 2011; the unfavorable results of the second quarter 2011 survey are consistent with the perception of the general economy."
The survey asked dentists whether eight metrics of their dental practice—gross billings, collections, adjustments and write-offs, accounts receivable, volume of new patients, open appointment times, treatment acceptance rates and net income— increased, stayed the same or decreased from the previous fiscal quarter. The survey also asked dentists about their confidence in the current economy.
A number of dentists, four out of 10, indicated their net income in the second quarter was lower than in the first quarter. On average, dentists also projected their net income for all of 2011 would be 3.4 percent lower than in 2010.
Other findings include:
- The largest percentage of respondents, 40 percent, reported their gross billings as staying the same in the second quarter, while 37.6 percent reported a decrease and 22.4 percent an increase.
- Collections stayed the same for 41.4 percent of dentists surveyed, decreased for 38.7 percent and increased for about one-fifth of respondents.
- Practice expenses remained the same for more than half of those surveyed but 39.2 percent said expenses were higher.
- Only 15.8 percent of dentists reported an increase in new patients, while the rest of those surveyed said their clientele either decreased or stayed the same.
More than 45 percent of all dentists surveyed said they were not at all confident in future economic conditions but younger dentists remained optimistic. One-fifth of dentists under 35 were very confident about future economic conditions, compared to only 5 percent of those in the 65 and older age group.
Dr. Michael Halasz, who chairs the Council on Dental Practice's Subcommittee on Economic Issues, maintains the dips seen in the quarterly surveys year after year have a lot to do with patients making an effort to use their insurance benefits at the beginning and end of the year.
"I hate to sound like a broken record, but I am not surprised at all by the survey results," Dr. Halasz said. "The numbers mimic 2009 and 2010. That being said, if we continue to mimic those years, in the third quarter, the numbers will continue to decrease. The good news is that the numbers should go up in the fourth quarter, again, because of insurance utilization."
The ADA Health Policy Resources Center, which conducted the survey, reports the downturn in the second quarter results was similar to last year's findings from the same time.
"The drop in confidence this year was less severe than last year," according to the executive summary. "The weaker downward movement in the second quarter of 2011 is hopefully a sign of better times ahead."

Just do what we do take a three quarter size baking sheet and load it up with about a dozen each of chopped Zucchini, Summer Squash and a bunch of large quartered mushrooms. Drizzle the whole thing with EVO and shake on salt and lot of Italian seasoning .Stick it into a turbo oven for about an half hour until its soft and slightly wilted and Finally shake grated cheese over the top and serve on the same baking sheet on trivets .
trivet: A trivet (pronounced /ˈtrɪvɨt/), also known as a 'hot plate,' is an object placed between a serving dish or bowl, and a dining table, usually to protect the table from heat damage.

A packed educational agenda drew 149 planners and hospitality partners to the Financial & Insurance Conference Planners Education Forum, June 20 to 22. This year, the annual three-day conference, aptly themed "Presenting You," focused on helping attendees improve professional skills and enhance business communication techniques. The program included four keynotes, 12 breakout sessions, and 21 speakers.
The 400-room St. Regis, Monarch Beach resort — located in Dana Point, Calif., on a hillside overlooking the Pacific Ocean — provided a great indoor and outdoor setting for attendees to network, reconnect with industry peers, and take part in the dynamic educational content.
FICP President Sharon Chapman, CMP, CMM, Berkshire Life Insurance Co., kicked off the meeting with welcoming remarks. After a networking lunch, opening keynote and master of ceremonies Linda Edgecombe, BPE, CSP, spoke on motivation and "attitude management."
FICP Vice President, education Kim Boriin, CMP, Guardian Investor Services LLC, discussed some recent green initiatives from FICP and the St. Regis, Monarch Beach. These included conference materials printed on recycled paper, pitchers of water in place of bottled water, the recent appointment of a "green team" at the St. Regis focused on recycling and energy conservation, and FICP's July 18 green meetings webinar (see page 12).
Among the breakout highlights was a discussion on strategic career advancement, led by FICP Vice President, Membership Dan Young, CMP, LLIF, Thrivent Financial for Lutherans. The session focused on steps planners can take to elevate their department's strategic importance within the company, including developing a microsite about the meeting department on the corporate Web site; requiring that all meeting planners attend industry association meetings and work toward getting their CMP designations; and quantifying all cost-saving measures and presenting these to the CFO. Other presenters were Jan Hennessey, CMP, CMM, Fireman's Fund Insurance Co.; and Thomas F. Spinelli, CLU, FLMI, LIMRA International.
Another popular breakout focused on strategic hotel negotiations. Jennifer Brown, CMP, Meeting Site Resources, led attendees through a hands-on approach to evaluating a meeting by looking at it from the hotel's perspective. The session included a discussion on the variables that influence pricing and what to consider when negotiating with hotels — including guest rooms-to-meeting space ratio, lead time, seasonality, history, risk, arrival/departure pattern, and transient demand. On the Forum's final morning, keynote speaker Nicholas Boothman, author of How to Connect in Business in 90 Seconds or Less, got the group on their feet to learn communication techniques for improving business interactions.
Next year's Education Forum will be held at the Disney Yacht Club Resort in Orlando, June 18 to 20.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) - Governor Bill Haslam said he doesn't have any specific reason for beginning state budget hearings on Election Day.
On Tuesday, eight state agencies are scheduled to meet with the governor throughout the day and present their proposed budgets for the upcoming year. The departments include Health and Education.
Haslam recently told reporters that most of the campaigning should be done by the time of the hearings, and said he believes the schedule will work on Tuesday because of the "way it's spread out through the day."
Budget hearings are also scheduled for Wednesday and Thursday.
All hearings will be live-streamed and archived on http://www.tn.gov.

"the of Babylon" is fucking amazing concept, keep it going man :) keep us entertained
amazing progress love this sketchbook!!!
Very inspiring SB..*subscribes*8)
Thanks, guys.
"Under the weather" ATM due to many things, but mostly b/c my tablet is falling apart and a new one is not an option. Plus, my right shoulder is killing me for some time now, so I have to constantly take breaks. Not that I`m doing anything productive, you know, but still.
I`ll suck it up. #chucknorrismode
Anyways - a smaller crap dump. Unfinished chows.
We need more work more often from you young man! That thing is creapy awesome! Maybe the arms could do with posing slightly more dramatically
^ what GEB said :) ^
Moleskine bits`n`bobs and...a chow and a COW.
C`mon, Pxel, get your head in the game...:zzz:
You improved so much, and 3d helped you a ton didnt it.
Edit, the wh ore of babylon is beautiful.
Finished ChOW, crappy doodle.
Sorry for not being the usual, chatty me. Stuff just seems to pile up. When it rains...
ur recent work really has improved alot, though i see alot of negativity, i hope that you can see some positive in your work and keep at it :) i really enjoy some of the peices alot!
Epic work man. That of Babylon picture... uhhh... very well done!
Also, your thread icon made me laugh. :P
Keep working hard!
such a nice sb! gratz!
Thanks guys.
So, here`s the thing. If by any chance you are following this SB, you probably noticed I have occasional meltdowns every now and then. No biggie, right? I`m only human.
I just wish I had the patience for some things. And I wish I wasn`t bothered with all these crazy expectations I`ve placed on myself. *sigh*
And I really wish I wasn`t bothering you guys with all this psycho blabber. This is a SB, not a self-help thread. Lame, Pxel. Lame. But, this too is a part of my journey...right? I mean, ones skills grow and mature, but this is all connected to how your mind is processing this and maturing as well. Art and art training and learning to draw...it always had a deep impact. I`m just one of those who actually feels comfortable enough to talk about it.
It`s not all about how skilled your lines look on a piece of paper. It`s also about how your mind perceives it all, deals with challenges and changes in the process.
And my skills are on this plateau because my mindset is...not the best.
I really need to change that. I`m holding myself back. I need to figure out why.
Any while I do that, here are some sketches...yikes.
That' smore like it! YAY!!! You got my bote on the CHOW it's a great character! And the chick with her boobs out is a great image
Great stuff man! Don't let your sketchbook go unattended again, we need mooooore ;)
After 3 years of drawing...I don`t even know how to draw a correct, straight forward male torso.
Attachment 1481861
This is...embarrassing.
Well, you've come a long way judging by your first posts.
Very inspiring to see your progress over these past 3 years.
You've mastered rendering in 3D, light, values, composition, anatomy (although the male torso could use some work :P), hues and chroma, not to mention combining it all in interesting, sometimes great, sometimes not so great, but always interesting designs.
When hitting a perceived ceiling feels hard - and it does.
Try thinking about where you've come from when you look back.
You blazed a trail across the landscape, now littered with past works that would never have been there had you not chosen this path. Now, face forward. Stare into the future, rain and wind in your face (or sunshine, don't know what's the weather like in croatia atm and hell, it doesn't matter) and just take another step.
In time, when you look back again, you'll see it was the first step on a blazing trail, now littered with past works...
Your drawings look awesome. There is no "right" or "wrong" in art, only "better" and "best." (and "worst," but you're not anywhere near that end, so it's not really wort mentioning). Be kind to yourself and explore art.
So in regards to those torsos--they look good. Abs can form in a million different ways; they vary with each body. If you're not satisfied with them keep drawing, but realize that there's nothing "wrong" with your current pictures.
I don't know what in particular is causing your woes (just art frustration?) but I can recommend a good book about self-growth, Mindset by Dr. Carol Dweck. After the first half the book kind of falls into repeating itself (but making its point very well), so that's a small drawback, but it's easy and interesting to read and not too long. Mindset creates a subtle change in your thought pattern. I don't know if it's what you need, but I definitely view the world differently after reading it, and it's in a good way. So I'm recommending it!
You seem to recognize that mental health is just as important (probably more, actually!) as your art ability. So do yourself a favor, get a copy of the book and have some faith in yourself and time!
Thanks, guys.
I`ve been thinking a lot about this situation I`m in, and I think I`m on to something - I`ve used up my starting potential. I`m now the best that I can be, driven solely on experimenting and figuring things out. No studies. Or, not as nearly as much as there should be. My work will always be and stay the same if I don`t put new stuff "into" my head. There`s nothing else left for me to come "naturally", you know. The fuel is gone.
This leads to frustration. Me, a person who is used to practically "breeze" through things (while interested in them), now has to sit down and put some effort into it. Normally, I`d drop it (like many things in life) if I didn`t care, but I do. I still care. And this is brad new territory for me. It`s an internal turmoil I`m not used to.
I actually sat down and pulled out my books to do some studies. And I can`t tell you how frustrated I got. It started with "How could I possibly learn something from these drawings that don`t look so good? How could just copying them teach me something, when I don`t even know what I`m copying? None of these make sense!" to "I`ll never be as good as people who can afford to go to art school or hire models to pose for them, go to a life drawing class, or even buy better books. How can I learn to draw anatomy and figures if I have no access to it? I`ll never figure it out."
Well, I have to figure it out. I have to find a way to compensate for being in this situation I`m in. I`m probably over thinking it, but still...It is frustrating. On top of being a self educated artist wannabe, I also have to become one heck of an inventor. I don`t have to re-invent the wheel. I have to find a way for it to work for me.
And now to be a bit more specific - latest chow try.
Attachment 1482767
Good thing is - I tried something new. a guy in a space suit of some sort. Never did that before, so it`s a plus.
Bad thing is - the figure looks awkward. I always have a hard time drawing a 3/4 view, because I don`t understand how everything is connected (skeleton and bones). This ends up with me trying to fix the angle over and over again, never producing a satisfying result. His shoulders are off. His neck is not connected. His legs are in a unnatural position. His entire gesture is unnatural. Also, material rendering is not that good, and his ornaments look out of place (mainly due to low understanding of perspective and how shapes translate into it).
All in all - a nice effort. But I have to do a lot better if I`m ever going to pay the bills and eat some food doing this. And I do like food.
Next one has to be better.
Im loving your monologue.
But I doubt theres anything to figure out except working thru frustrations.
Take care.
I'm sure you could find some figure drawing sessions nearby you? They're usually not more than $10, maybe $5 or something. Rebudget and give yourself $20 a month or so to go to a couple sessions. It is important for your career, and it's not that expensive. Prioritize it and you can make it work.
And yeah, keep playing, keep curious. I find changing medium is great when I feel like I'm in a stalemate. :) That, or just changing subjects (for me, that'd be animals or landscapes or something).
Last figure is looking good--the colors are kinda muddy, though.
First off, love your sketchbook and your character designs. They're quite inspirational, as I'm trying to improve doing digital creatures and characters while I have some time off. Especially looking at the first few pages compared to your latest posts. So keep posting so I have someone to look towards! hahaha
Secondly, I read your last little rant and I really feel compelled to say that as someone who isn't in art school, you are doing a DAMN good job from what I can see here and in ChOW. Experimenting and problem solving often lead to good things so don't sell yourself short on it. Just try doing something different everyday, including the studies and experimenting. Variety really helps me clear my head whenever I feel crappy artistically. And perish worry about people in art school. I'm in one and I wish I produced work of your caliber (and feel lucky that you don't have to spend a FORTUNE on supplies and books that you will rarely to never use). It has benefits but even our professors have drilled it into our heads that improvements and self invention, etc. come from us experimenting and practicing on our own rather than with the assignments. So If it helps I suppose you could think about it as you having time to improve in that respect without having the distractions of non art related requirements and other distractions (I relish summer since I get to go back to doing work for myself again). If anything I learned that every artist feels like you do more often than not. Comes with the territory ;)
Keep pushing dude. You'll get through it.
I got a bit more into why I`m snapping every now and then - insecurity. Well, mostly.There are no promises that my life will get better if and when I get better at this. There are no promises that one day I won`t just end up hating it all, being a chore or a "job" I`m expected to do (and don`t get me started on that whole freelancer lifestyle...from what I read, it`s nerve wrecking...), and I`ll just end up being another little cog in the machine. A nameless nobody who draws chicks with major anatomy issues and comes up with really uninspired designs. A mediocre art twat.
Actually, I kinda like that phrase. :P
I did, however, put some things into motion. Nothing major-major, more like minor-major, so now I have to see how it plays out. In the meantime, I picked up Painter again, and...I love it. Spite the fact it`s unintuitive, crashes a lot and dosen`t recognize my tablet, which is not a Wacom. It puts my computer on a hiatus, making it produce all these sad, sad noises, but boy - does it handle color well.
Doodle dump.

LINCOLN — Optometrists in Nebraska want the state's OK to perform more procedures, a move opposed by ophthalmologists.
Optometrists disagree and say it's partly a matter of improving Nebraskans' access to health care. About 400 optometrists practice across the state, while 109 ophthalmologists practice mostly in Nebraska's largest population centers. Some ophthalmologists also have satellite clinics across the state that are open a number of days each month.
Nebraska optometrists want to:
Ophthalmologists and Optometrists: Similarities, differences
Ophthalmologists are physicians. After getting a bachelor's degree, they go to four years of medical school. They must complete a one-year internship and a residency of three or more years.
Services provided: vision services, including eye exams; medical eye care for conditions such as glaucoma, iritis and chemical burns; surgical eye care for trauma, crossed eyes, cataracts, glaucoma and other problems; diagnosis and treatment of eye conditions related to other diseases, such as diabetes or arthritis; plastic surgery for drooping eyelids and smoothing wrinkles.
Optometrists are medical professionals but not physicians. After getting a bachelor's degree, they spend four years at an optometry school and get a doctoral degree in optometry. Some optometrists undergo additional clinical training. Their main focus is providing regular vision care and prescribing eyeglasses and contact lenses.
Services provided: performing vision services such as eye exams; treating conditions such as nearsightedness, farsightedness and astigmatism; prescribing and fitting eyeglasses and contact lenses; providing low-vision aids and vision therapy; diagnosing eye conditions such as glaucoma, cataracts, macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy and conjunctivitis; prescribing medications for certain eye conditions (varies by state, but all states allow them to prescribe topical anti-allergy and anti-inflammatory drugs); participating in pre- or postoperative care for people who undergo surgery.
Source: WebMD
� Prescribe oral steroids, oral anti-glaucoma medications and oral immunosuppressants.
� Use epinephrine or "epi" pens when necessary and inject medications into the eyelid for the treatment of cysts or infected or inflamed glands of the eyelid.
� Perform surgical procedures to allow for the treatment of cysts or infected or inflamed eyelid glands.
The optometrists say their peers in a majority of states already are allowed to prescribe the medications and use epi pens; fewer than 20 states allow optometrists to inject medications into the eyelid and perform the minor surgical procedures.
"We don't see that this increased scope of practice would benefit the public," said Dr. Millicent Palmer, an Omaha ophthalmologist who is president of the Nebraska Academy of Eye Physicians and Surgeons. "There are patient safety issues or new dangers that could occur.
"We feel that any surgery should be performed by surgeons who are medical doctors who have the training, and (optometrists) should not be prescribing medications that have significant side-effect profiles, and that may include death, even."
The conditions that optometrists are seeking to treat, Palmer said, are either "non-emergent or non-sight-threatening."
Dr. Christopher Wolfe, an Omaha optometrist who is legislative chairman of the Nebraska Optometric Association, said multiple office visits to see more than one doctor inconvenience people and take time away from their jobs and family.
"If they have to wait a week to a month or travel a long distance to get the care, that can play a part in their quality of life," Wolfe said, adding, "The differences between an emergency and urgency are always in the eye of the beholder."
Representatives from both groups have made presentations to and answered questions from members of a technical review committee of the Nebraska Board of Health formed specifically to review the optometrists' proposal.
Optometrists have successfully sought to broaden their scope of practice before. In the early 1980s, they received approval from the Nebraska Legislature to use diagnostic eyedrops. In the late 1980s, they got the OK to use topical therapeutic medications, such as eyedrops or creams.
In the early 1990s, they received approval to administer oral medications to treat some eye diseases. Later that decade, they were allowed to provide care for glaucoma, a disease that damages the optic nerve.
A 2009 attempt to expand optometrists' scope of practice failed. Among other reasons, state officials told them that proposal was too broad.
Iowan optometrists can do more than their Nebraska counterparts. Iowa optometrists can treat glaucoma with topical and oral drugs; Nebraska optometrists can use only topical drugs.
Iowa optometrists can prescribe oral steroids; Nebraska optometrists can't. Iowa optometrists can use an epi pen if a patient has an allergic reaction to a medication in the office or clinic; Nebraska optometrists can't.
Iowa optometrists can perform surgical procedures to treat cysts on the eyelid; Nebraskans can't.
Wolfe said optometry schools are training students to provide the care that the optometrists are seeking to offer in Nebraska.
"The knowledge, education and training of optometrists has been such where it has expanded to include all these things," Wolfe said. Permitting the expanded scope of practice, he said, is "a logical step."
Ophthalmologists counter that the preparation optometrists receive falls far short of what an ophthalmologist gets.
The American Academy of Ophthalmology notes that in addition to completing college and medical school, ophthalmologists typically receive one or more years of general clinical training and three or more years in a hospital-based eye residency program, often followed by one or more years of a subspecialty fellowship.
Administering the medications also requires knowledge of the effects of the drugs on the entire body, ophthalmologists said. Optometrists say they are trained to identify the systemic effects of drugs.
The technical review committee will meet at 1 p.m. Aug.�9 at the State Office Building in Lincoln to conduct a preliminary vote on the proposal, then in September to conduct a public hearing. It will take a final vote in October.
The matter then will go to the Board of Health and to Dr. Joseph Acierno, the director of the Division of Public Health and the state's chief medical officer. All three will write recommendations for the Legislature's consideration.

Attractive non-conference matchup pits Highlanders, Longhorns
By Tim Chambers
Tailgating on the hill overlooking Paul McEwen Stadium has become a tradition for many Johnson County football fans. Just like the rivalry once was between the Highlanders and Longhorns on the gridiron.
For the first time since 2010, the pair will renew old acquaintances tonight in what should be a dandy in Mountain City. Cloudland won the last meeting 28-26 in 2010 while the Longhorns took a 47-27 victory in 2009. It had been more than a decade at that point since the two schools had met.
Cloudland enters the contest 3-0, ranked 7th in the Class 1-A poll. The Longhorns (1-1) knocked off talented Grayson County 26-10 last week in their home opener.

Featured Article for April, 2014
Doraemon: Nobita's Great Battle of the Mermaid King is the 30th installment of the Doraemon feature films. It was released in Japan on March 6th, 2010.
It starts with a sunken ship in an underwater scene. In the ship a shark is swimming around until an octopus lands on its head next to a mermaid. Later on an unknown planet, the merman tribe destroy everything while looking for the mermaid tribe. On Earth Nobita's mom orders him to go shopping but he leaves to play pirates with Gian.
His mother asks Doraemon and her husband but they have other plans. Doraemon ends up doing the shopping: When he reads the list at the very bottom he sees Dorayaki, a Japanese snack, his favourite food. Later Suneo shares his diving photo shoots in Palau with Gian and Shizuka. Nobita arrived at their place of play to play pirates with Gian. Nobita wants to go to Suneo's house to see more pictures but they don't want him to. He cries and shouts Doraemon's name. Doraemon uses his gentle eyes to comfort him. When Nobita feels like diving in his town, Doraemon uses a Underwater Pump Simulator to pump all the water out of Tokyo, causing the entire city to go underwater. That night, Doraemon and Nobita use a Diving Mask Simulator to dive underwater.

Hecking confident of facing in-form Schalke
Nuremberg coach Dieter Hecking is undaunted by the size of his side's task against Schalke, despite picking up only one point from their last five games.
A 0-0 draw with Augsburg last weekend halted a streak of four consecutive defeats while their opponents come into the game buoyed not only by victory in Dortmund a week ago, but also by a 2-0 win at Arsenal on Wednesday.
Those contrasting fortunes do not mean that Nuremberg must accept defeat already, though.
"It is not as if our opponents have a crisis of results," said Hecking.
"It is clearly a difficult challenge and Schalke are overwhelming favourites, but we will make as good an impression of ourselves as possible.
"We want to try to get something out of it. That is possible if we show our strengths for the entire game."
Hecking has a problem in goal since his three best goalkeepers are all out injured, meaning youth team custodian Patrick Rakovsky will make his Bundesliga debut against his former side.
"It is probably the biggest game of Patrick's career so far," said Hecking at a press conference.
"But he enjoys our full faith and Patrick and the whole team are looking forward to this game."
Schalke's director of sport Horst Heldt has warned his team not to take Nuremberg lightly in the wake of two of the best results in the club's recent history.
"Many people will think that, after wins in Dortmund and Arsenal, we can beat them with our eyes shut," he said.
His players appear to have registered the warning with striker Klaas Jan Huntelaar saying: "We want to show what we are capable of against Nuremberg.
"Otherwise, the win against Dortmund is worthless," he added.

It is Luis Gonzalez winning in the finals at Safeco Field in those innocent days just before 9/11 -- a flash of brilliance before he went on to hit the game-winner months later in a World Series that helped a nation begin to heal.
The Century 21 All-Star Home Run Derby became a regular attraction, with 10 sluggers, in 1985, and is now the event before the event.
Back in 1985, each invitee had one round to do his damage. Dave Parker did the most, with six, in the revival of the popular event.
Eight of the game's top power hitters will be on the field the night of July 12 at Houston's Minute Maid Park, for the rounds that inevitably leave spectators agape and always bring a surprise.
"The Century 21 All-Star Home Run Derby has become one of the highlights of All-Star Week each year," said Brian O'Gara, senior director of special events for Major League Baseball. "From Mark McGwire's mammoth home runs at Fenway Park in 1999, to great performances in recent years by Sammy Sosa, Jason Giambi, Albert Pujols and last year's champion, Garret Anderson, baseball's best sluggers have put on a great show for the fans in the ballpark and the millions who tune in on ESPN."
Part of the suspense is always in the selection of the sluggers themselves, and this year has an added element of suspense in regard to the setting itself. The retractable roof normally would be closed for a game in the midsummer months, but a decision on that will wait until the event draws nearer, according to MLB officials.
That is important to note, because when the roof is open, the occasional monster shot will go over the left-field concourse and completely out of the park. Should that happen it could bring to mind those dramatic All-Star days when the likes of Reggie Jackson were hitting balls onto the roof of the old Tiger Stadium.
Anderson, the defending Home Run Derby champion, edged the Cardinals' Pujols by the slimmest of margins, 9-8, in last year's Finals at U.S. Cellular Field in Chicago. Pujols had been the star of the show, hitting a spectacular 14 in the second round and sending one ball 478 feet, the longest of the night.
Anaheim outfielder Anderson went on to win the Ted Williams Most Valuable Player Award the following night after the All-Star Game.
Pujols perhaps summarized the event best after his three rounds last year: "If you get the opportunity, you want to hit as many home runs as you can. You never know. That's the idea. In the Home Run Derby, you never know."
Much has changed in the years since the Home Run Derby began -- the live ESPN commentary is now heard by both the ballpark crowd as well as the viewing audience -- but the event is still a pure, breathtaking display of the best power hitters playing the national pastime.

Intrinsic factor is a protein that helps your intestines absorb vitamin B12. It is made by cells in the stomach lining.
Intrinsic factor is an important protein that helps your body absorb vitamin B12. Vitamin B12 is needed for red blood cells to form and grow.
Some people do not make enough intrinsic factor or have a condition that destroys it. If your body does not make enough intrinsic factor, you can develop a type of vitamin B12 deficiency called pernicious anemia
Surgical removal of the stomach and certain other health conditions can also cause you to stop making intrinsic factor.
