Sudowoodo, as with most other Rock-type Pokemon, has high Attack and Defense stats. Unfortunately, its pure Rock typing makes the Imitation Pokemon weak to common attacking types, such as Grass, Water, and Fighting, and is therefore often shunned in favor of a Pokemon with a solid secondary typing. However, Sudowoodo does have one trick up its sleeve that sets it apart from other Rock-types: Wood Hammer. While other Rock-type Pokemon would flee from Water- and Ground-types, Sudowoodo can fight back, scoring many surprise KOs against unsuspecting opponents. Sudowoodo can also take on the role of a support Pokemon by laying down Stealth Rock and sponging hits from the common Braviary and Swellow. However, aside from that niche, Sudowoodo doesn't have anything over other Rock-types, so always keep that in mind when including it on your team.
With a respectable Defense stat, Sudowoodo can easily take on a support role. It can set up Stealth Rock, which stops common threats from repeatedly switching in. Misdreavus can be used as a spinblocker to keep Stealth Rock present and also has the benefit of being immune to Fighting-type attacks. STAB Stone Edge hits surprisingly hard coming off its base 100 Attack, and is Sudowoodo's main way of dealing damage to foes. The inclusion of Wood Hammer sets Sudowoodo apart from other Rock-types; it allows Sudowoodo to hit Water- and Ground-types, which wall its fellow Rock-types, hard. Finally, Toxic is there to cripple opposing sweepers and walls.Team Options & Additional Comments >>>
Thanks to a decent base 100 Attack and a good movepool, Sudowoodo can take on the role of a physical attacker. Once again, Stone Edge is a great STAB move and, thanks to the Attack investment, allows Sudowoodo to heavily dent foes. Earthquake is used with this to form the EdgeQuake combination, allowing Sudowoodo to hit most Pokemon for at least neutral damage. Wood Hammer allows Sudowoodo to decimate Water- and Ground-types, and being Sudowoodo's niche move, should always be present. Due to an abysmal Speed stat, Sucker Punch is used in the final move slot to take out faster, weakened foes.Team Options & Additional Comments >>>
Other Options
Sudowoodo has a couple of other options, thanks to its decent movepool. Double-Edge works well with Rock Head, but it sacrifices coverage and generally should be avoided. Rest allows Sudowoodo to fully heal, although due to the risk of being setup fodder, it should be used in conjunction with a cleric. Rock Slide can be used over Stone Edge for higher PP and accuracy, but the drop in power is very noticeable. Sudowoodo has access to the elemental punches, which may seem like a good idea, but the low Base Power and unneeded coverage makes these options inferior. Sudowoodo was also gifted with Focus Punch, allowing for a SubPunch set. However, Sudowoodo has difficulty forcing switches, and deciding which moves to swap out for Substitute and Focus Punch can be a pain. Explosion is also an option if you want to end with a bang, although the BW nerf and Sudowoodo's low Speed makes this difficult to use successfully. Sudowoodo gets two decent boosting moves in Rock Polish and Curse. Rock Polish doubles Sudowoodo's Speed, but even then it is still too slow to outspeed the top tier threats and too weak to get past a lot of the walls in the tier. The latter would be feasible were it not for Sudowoodo's poor Special Defense, which leaves it prone to special attacks when setting up. The Dream World gave Sudowoodo the Rattled ability, which raises its Speed by one stage when hit by a Bug-, Dark-, or Ghost-type move, all very common attacking types in the NU tier. While this seems usable, a Speed boost of only one stage means practically nothing to Sudowoodo.
Checks and Counters
Due to Sudowoodo's pure Rock typing, it possesses many common weaknesses and is therefore easy to counter. Most Pokemon can 2HKO Sudowoodo with a decently powerful special attack. Tangela is a nightmare to face, taking only neutral damage from Stone Edge while resisting Wood Hammer and Earthquake. A Giga Drain from it is a surefire 2HKO, even from the support variant. Bulky Psychic-types such as Musharna can set up all over a Sudowoodo lacking Toxic, taking only neutral damage from its attacks. In general, bulky Pokemon give Sudowoodo trouble.

IF A contest had been staged in the UK to find the most offensive Easter sermon of 2012, Mark Davies, the Roman Catholic Bishop of Shrewbury would surely have shashayed off with the top prize.
Davies, according to this report, used the PAGAN festival to warn Britons that if they persisted in undermining Christianity, the country would fall victims to "the most sinister of ideologies" – such as Nazism.
This posturing nitwit – who surely must be aware of the fact that it was German Catholics and the Roman Catholic Church who put total power within the Nazis' reach – said:
It has, indeed, been the experience of this past century, as both Blessed John Paul II and Pope Benedict XVI have observed, how the most poisonous ideologies have arisen within the Christian nations of Europe.
Thus Nazism or Communism attempted to discard the Christian inheritance of faith and morality as if it had never existed. They sought either to return to the pagan past or to 're-create' and 'redeem' humanity by political will and ideology with terrible consequences.
He then lamented:
Today we are becoming increasingly aware that there are those in leading positions within our society who wish to see history somehow reversed, who wish the very light which Christianity brought to these islands would recede.
Equally foolish, but in this case simply vacuous and banal, were the words of "Dumbledore". The Archbishop of Canterbury used his last Easter message before his retirement later this year to attack what he called the downgrading of religious education.
Rowan Williams criticised the Government for not including religious education as a subject counting towards the English baccalaureate, an alternative to A-levels which is being offered by more and more schools.
Keith Porteous Wood, Executive Director of the National Secular Society, summed up the collective Easter tosh thus:
The churches are in revivalist mode and are stopping at nothing to stem their haemorrhaging support and boost their power.
To do so they are inventing persecution, threatening the Government, rewriting history and even persecuting an oppressed minority – gay people.

Making a PC quiet is not an easy task. Not with companies like nVidia stirring up the pot with their GeforceFX Ultra cooling system. In any case, Zalman's a company that offers a variety of products to try and reduce computer noise. The first product that we'll look at today is their
power supply.
is a noise free 400W ATX power supply that comes in a nice black color. A power supply does generate a lot of noise with its fan and Zalman has taken steps to produce a power supply that offers a significantly reduced noise generator without sacrificing power.
As you can see, in the box are the unit, a power cord, Velcro straps, and a multi-connector fan converter so you can have four fan inputs from one of the molex connectors. The Velcro straps help tidy up the power wires after installation. The four fan converter helped tidy up the various converters I had for each fan, making the space inside my case a little cleaner and improving air flow.
One thing about the power supply that it is pretty heavy, heavier than my Antec 400W power supply. It feels like the construction is pretty heavy duty. From pictures I've seen of the internals it has a very big heat sink to help dissipate the heat. Thus the ability to outfit the power supply with a very quiet fan. The power connectors have both the traditional ATX and the ATX12V 2x2 (4-pin) 12V power connector. There's also an auxiliary 5-pin power connector. The ABIT
has both the traditional ATX and ATX12V 2x2 connectors so I was able to plug in both. Six molex connectors provide you with plenty of connection options.
's fan speed is controlled by a heat sensing unit. As you can see from the graph, the fan will run in silent mode noiseless mode until your case temperature reaches around 45C. From 45C to about 57C the fan operates in what they call silent mode where the noise level varies from 20 to 25dB. Above 57C the fan operates in normal mode where by the noise level goes to around 30dB.
After installation of the unit into my machine, I fired the puppy up. To my surprise I was able to hear the hard drive clicking whereas before I was overwhelmed by the sound of fans. Honestly, I couldn't hear anything but fans before the power supply was installed but now that ever loving clicking of accessing hard drives could be heard. Listening to the back of the computer, I didn't hear a peep coming out of the back of the power supply. The
ran silent and since my case temperature never went above 30C.
While I still hear a lot of fan noise from my CPU cooler, I shall alleviate that problem in my next Zalman review. But the power supply noise problem is now conquered thanks to Zalman. The
is pretty expensive though coming in at close to $100 in some places I searched for. If you don't need the 400W they do offer a 300W version that's roughly in the $70 range. But if helping quiet your computer is your forte and you need that extra juice, then the
is the way to go.

Rated 5 out of 5 by deepsouthtech Good investment This is my first purchase of a e-collar, but you can tell that this unit is well built and is a quality item. I was afraid to buy a lesser outfit and end up with junk so I am satisfied. The biggest use that I get out of it is recalling my GSP. I get an instance response (recall) with the tone button after only 2, maybe 3 "shocks" tops to get her working with it. Now I don't have to worry about my dog running out into traffic.

Rated 5 out of 5 by 12target Fast and Easy I just bought this collar and have only been training on it about three hours today. I am amazed at how fast my dog was able to go off leash, 20 min my 6mo Beagle was heeling along side me for the first time ever off leash, she was comming to me flawlessly in an hour of training, this is a dog up untill today only came when she felt like it.Oh did I mention she did it wagging her tail the whole time happy as a clam WOW . I do have to let you know that I did follow all the sport dog training videos on youtube for about 30min a day for the last three days ,while I was waiting for my collar to get to me in the mail. I realize this might be a rare instance for a dog to learn so fast, but i am just smiling from ear to ear. My wife said our Beagle would never heel off leash yet alone in 20min that was worth $300 bucks all by itself :-) I AM NO LONGER A SKEPTIC October 27, 2010

Commercial Drone Use Hastens Privacy Debate
NEW YORK ( MainStreet) Amazon announced December 1, 2013 that package deliveries, via unmanned aerial drone, to homes and businesses, are in the future for Millenial shoppers. This would be a leap forward for the domestic use of drones. But, as is true in everything else in modern America, legal issues will closely follow - or maybe even precede this.
Issues such as government regulations, rights of way, liability - not to mention the omnipresent privacy concerns - must be addressed. Professor Gregory S. McNeal, a Pepperdine University law professor, discussed these issues during a teleforum hosted by the Federalist Society on December 4. The Federalist Society is an organization of libertarian and conservative lawyers headquartered in Washington D.C.
McNeal said that civil libertarians are in some cases hitting the panic button about privacy issues. The drone is a catalyst for existing angst about privacy. He noted privacy infringing activities can be conducted already by low flying aircraft, helicopters etc. But Amazon's Bezos shifted the debate to commercial applications.
Commercial applications are plentiful too. He said that a rancher can use a drone, directed by an iPad, to check fencelines. Oil pipeline inspections could be another application.
"The list goes on and on," said McNeal. "There are tons of companies in Silicon Valley that have already developed this technology. A company called Skycatch has developed autonomous pick-up and delivery."
McNeal also said that the BBC has a drone journalism unit. He predicted that the BBC will eventually attach drones to news vans for aerial views of news scenes. There is also a company that wants to use drones for police and fire applications. This would cut down on false alarms and false police calls.
"It is a start-up industry where the barriers to entry are really low," claims McNeal.
Regarding privacy issues, McNeal does not think it is a real concern for the public. He said that the privacy advocates often use exaggerated arguments about accidents involving drones or equating delivery drones with predators in Afghanistan.
"It is largely a snarky, Twitterverse public concern," McNeal said. He does not take it seriously.
During the FAA commentary period, the Electronic Privacy Information Center (EPIC), arguably the largest privacy advocate organization in America, submitted a list of recommendations to the FAA. Among their demands were listing drone operators in an easily accessible database, having drone operators disclose the limits of their operational license and surveillance capabilities and establishing a process of independent auditing for drone operators.
EPIC also asked the FAA to have "the roles of NASA and the Department of Defense" clarified. The organization also wants to mandate compliance with "Fair Information Practices" for those who use drones.
EPIC also wants penalties for violations. Such sanctions would include fines and license revocation.

Pain control in pancreatic cancer
Chemotherapy for pancreatic cancer
Chemotherapy (chemo) uses anti-cancer drugs injected into a vein or given by mouth. These drugs enter the bloodstream and reach all areas of the body, making this treatment potentially useful for cancers that have metastasized (spread) beyond the organ they started in.
Chemotherapy for exocrine pancreatic cancer
Chemo may be used at any stage of pancreatic cancer. It is commonly used when the cancer is advanced and can't be removed completely with surgery. Chemo may also be used after the cancer has been removed with surgery to try to kill any cancer cells that have been left behind (but can't be seen). This type of treatment is called adjuvant treatment. This lowers the chance that the cancer will come back later. Chemo can also be given before surgery to try to shrink the tumor. This is known as neoadjuvant treatment.
When chemo is given along with radiation, it can help the radiation work better. This, known as chemoradiation or chemoradiotherapy, has more severe side effects.
Gemcitabine (Gemzar®) is the chemo drug used most often to treat pancreatic cancer. It is sometimes combined with the drug albumin-bound paclitaxel (Abraxane®, nab-paclitaxel). Another commonly used drug is 5-fluorouracil (5-FU). It may be combined with a number of other chemo drugs, such as irinotecan (Camptosar®, CPT-11) and oxaliplatin (Eloxitan®), as well as the vitamin-like drug folinic acid (leucovorin).
Sometimes, other drugs may be used as well, such as cisplatin, paclitaxel (Taxol®), docetaxel (Taxotere®), and capecitabine (Xeloda®).
Chemo drugs kill cancer cells but also damage some normal cells. This can lead to side effects, which depend on the type of drugs, the amount taken, and the length of treatment. Common short-term side effects include:
- Nausea and vomiting
- Loss of appetite
- Hair loss
- Mouth sores
- Diarrhea
Because chemo can damage bone marrow, where new blood cells are made, blood cell counts might become low. This can result in:
- Increased chance of infection (from a shortage of white blood cells)
- Bleeding or bruising after minor cuts or injuries (from a shortage of platelets)
- Fatigue and shortness of breath (from too few red blood cells)
Many of the chemo drugs used for pancreatic cancer can cause diarrhea. Other side effects can occur depending on what chemo drugs are used. For example, cisplatin can cause kidney damage (called nephropathy). Doctors try to prevent this problem by giving the patient lots of fluid before and after the drug is given. Both cisplatin and oxaliplatin can cause nerve damage (called neuropathy). This can lead to symptoms of numbness, tingling, or even pain in the hands and feet. For a day or so after treatment, oxaliplatin can cause nerve pain that gets worse with exposure to cold. This often causes pain when swallowing that is worse when trying to swallow cold foods or liquids. If you will be getting chemo, ask your cancer care team about the drugs being used and what side effects to expect.
Most side effects disappear once treatment is stopped. If you do have side effects, there are treatments that can help reduce them or make them go away. For example, drugs can be given to prevent or reduce nausea and vomiting.
Targeted therapy for exocrine pancreatic cancers
As researchers have learned more about the gene changes in cells that cause cancer, they have been able to develop newer drugs that specifically target these changes. These drugs are often referred to as targeted therapy. They work differently from standard chemotherapy drugs and often have different (and less severe) side effects. (See "What's new in pancreatic cancer research and treatment?" for more information.)
A pill called erlotinib (Tarceva®) has helped some patients with advanced pancreatic cancer. Erlotinib targets a protein on the surface of cancer cells called EGFR, which normally prompts cancer cells to grow. When combined with gemcitabine, it has been shown to work slightly better than gemcitabine alone. Some people may benefit more from this combination than others. Common side effects of erlotinib include an acne-like rash, diarrhea, loss of appetite, and feeling tired.
Chemotherapy for pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors
Chemo is not often very helpful in treating these tumors, so it isn't often used. When chemo is used the preferred drugs are doxorubicin (Adriamycin®) and streptozocin. Sometimes a special form of doxorubicin known as liposomal doxorubicin (Doxil®) has been used instead of the regular drug. In this form, the drug is dissolved in fat droplets, which allows it to be given with less serious side effects. Other chemo drugs that have been helpful in treating these tumors include fluorouracil (5-FU), dacarbazine (DTIC), and temozolomide (Temodar®). Some recent studies have found that combining temozolomide with thalidomide or with capecitabine (Xeloda) can be helpful.
Targeted therapy for pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors
The drug sunitinib (Sutent®) attacks both blood vessel growth and other targets that stimulate cancer cell growth. When used to treat patients with PNETs with spread outside of the pancreas, it has been shown to slow tumor growth and help patients live longer. This drug is a pill that is taken once a day to treat pancreatic NETs. The most common side effects are nausea, diarrhea, changes in skin or hair color, mouth sores, weakness, and low blood cell counts. Other possible effects include tiredness, high blood pressure, heart problems, bleeding, hand-foot syndrome (redness, pain, and skin peeling of the palms of the hands and the soles of the feet), and low thyroid hormone levels. This drug is approved by the FDA to treat PNETs that cannot be removed with surgery or have spread outside the pancreas.
Everolimus (Afinitor®) works by blocking a cell protein known as mTOR, which normally promotes cell growth and division. When used to treat patients with PNETs that have spread outside of the pancreas, it has been shown to slow tumor growth. It's not yet clear if this drug helps patients live longer. Everolimus is a pill taken once a day to treat PNETs. Common side effects of this drug include mouth sores, an increased risk of infections, nausea, loss of appetite, diarrhea, skin rash, feeling tired or weak, fluid buildup (usually in the legs), and increases in blood sugar and cholesterol levels. A less common but serious side effect is damage to the lungs, which can cause shortness of breath or other problems. This drug is approved by the FDA to treat PNETs that cannot be removed with surgery or have spread outside the pancreas.
Other drugs for treating pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors
Somatostatin analogs: Octreotide (Sandostatin®) is an agent chemically related to a natural hormone, somatostatin. It is very helpful for some patients with PNETs. It can stop the tumor from releasing its hormone into the bloodstream. This reduces symptoms and helps patients feel better. This drug can be expected to help anyone with a tumor that can be seen on somatostatin receptor scintigraphy. (See "Imaging tests" in the "How is pancreatic cancer diagnosed?" section.)
Octreotide can help reduce diarrhea in patients with VIPomas, glucagonomas, and somatostatinomas. It also helps the rash of glucagonomas. This drug may even stop tumors from growing. The main side effects are pain at the site of the injection, and rarely, stomach cramps, nausea, vomiting, headaches, dizziness, and fatigue. Octreotide causes sludging of bile in the gallbladder which can lead to gallstones. It can also make the body resistant to the action of insulin, making pre-existing diabetes more difficult to control. This drug is not often used in treating insulinomas, because its effects on the release of other hormones can cause worse problems with blood sugars.
The standard version of octreotide is short-acting and is given as an injection 2 to 4 times a day. This drug is also available in a long-acting form (called Sandostatin LAR Depot) that only needs to be given once a month, which may help patients more than the short-acting version. A similar drug, lanreotide (Somatuline® Depot), is also available. It is also given as an injection once a month. A newer drug called pasireotide is currently being studied.
Diazoxide is a drug that can block insulin release from the pancreas. It can be used to prevent low blood sugars (hypoglycemia) in patients with insulinomas. This drug is often used to normalize blood glucose levels before surgery, to make the operation safer for the patient.
Proton pump inhibitors block acid secretion from the stomach. These drugs often need to be taken in higher than usual doses, but are very helpful in preventing ulcers in patients with gastrinomas. Examples of these drugs include omeprazole (Prilosec), esomeprazole (Nexium), lansoprazole (Prevacid), and others.

Q & A with Dev MotwaniBy Samantha Rojas
Dev Motwani is managing partner of Chieftain Holdings LP, a Florida-based real estate investment fund focused on buying distressed commercial properties with significant redevelopment value or value-add opportunities for existing assets; as well as managing partner of Chieftain Residential LP, a distressed residential fund purchasing single-family homes in various markets throughout the southeast United States. Additionally, he serves as co-president and CFO of Merrimac Ventures and is a partner in the Lauderdale Air Show, having helped bring the event back to Fort Lauderdale after a five-year hiatus.
Prior to his current role, Motwani worked at Credit Suisse in New York City and has spent time working in politics in the White House in the office of the Vice President in 2000, with the Gore/Lieberman Campaign and the Hillary Clinton for President Campaign. Today, he plays an active role in the South Florida community through his involvement with numerous charities and business organizations. He serves on the boards of the Broward Center for the Performing Arts Foundation, Fort Lauderdale's Economic Development Advisory Board, Business for the Arts of Broward and the Downtown Council.
Motwani graduated from Duke University with a Bachelor of Science degree in economics and public policy and from Columbia University's Master of Science in real estate development program. He has also studied at the London School of Economics.
As a businessperson, what makes you passionate about the arts?
When you look at some of the most interesting cities in the world (not necessarily the largest), there's usually a strong sense of art that is associated with each. That art can take many forms, traditional forms like painting and sculptures, but also music, architecture, food and the performing arts - all of which add to making those destinations unique and desirable. The major cities around the world usually contain a combination of a number of interesting art forms. So being in real estate locally, and interested in economic development here in Fort Lauderdale, it's hard not to appreciate the importance of art to our community. When you look at which cities are flourishing in the U.S. today (Austin, Portland, Charlotte, etc.) it's clear that the current generation not only appreciates, but actually flocks to those areas that have a strong sense of art and culture.
How do you feel that arts and business should intersect in general?
There's an obvious benefit to the local business community from having a strong arts community, particularly for attracting talent. For that reason, I feel it's beneficial and crucial for the business community to support the arts. In terms of how they interact, that can vary from business to business. There are certainly businesses that can benefit directly from supporting the arts and those where the benefit is less direct. I don't know that there's a formula for how they interact, but I am confident there's a clear benefit to the business community. I hope more businesses realize this and put more effort into supporting local arts organizations.
And in Broward County specifically?
Again, I think it's less geographical and more specific to each individual. But let's take our two most popular industries, tourism and boating. Having strong local arts and cultural offerings will no doubt enhance the experience for tourists as well as those deciding into which ports to bring their yachts. Both industries have far-reaching impacts on our local communities from hotels, to restaurants, to yacht brokers, to boat repair facilities. The more enticing we make our destination, the more those industries flourish, which benefits many in our community.
Tell us about your business in Broward County, and how you see it growing and developing?
We are primarily in the real estate and hospitality businesses, and fortunately both industries are on the rise after a number of tough years. More and more people are moving to, or visiting South Florida, and we expect that trend to continue. We are confident that our business will do well over the long term. But both businesses are cyclical and so we need to ensure our community is doing everything it can to help alleviate the downward cycles in each business; having a strong local arts and culture community will certainly help achieve that goal.
What are ways you feel we can forge this relationship between your business and the creative industries on a continual basis?
Right now we are filling up one of our largest properties, the Las Olas Riverfront, with various arts and culture-related organizations and businesses. Eventually we plan to redevelop the property and we certainly expect to have a strong connection to the arts since we are in the heart of the arts and entertainment district. In the interim, we felt as though we could help the immediate neighborhood and the community as a whole by utilizing our location and vacant spaces to support the arts.
What can we do - we, the local arts agency; we, the citizens?
Bring us ideas. We have a website, PopUpLasOlas.com, where we invite people to visit and share ideas with us on how to populate our vacant spaces with interesting and exciting ideas that will attract people to the downtown and Riverwalk area. We are even supporting local businesses that are looking for an affordable location to try out an interesting new business concept. Like Rhino Donuts & Coffee; this is opening soon and will be serving unique, gourmet products.
How have the arts impacted your life, personally and professionally?
Personally, I joke that my brain just doesn't get the arts. Good with numbers, but terrible on the piano. But I do appreciate the performing arts and music, which is why I chose to become a board member of the Broward Center for the Performing Arts Foundation. I've already stated my strong belief in the economic impacts that a strong arts community has on my business, but getting to support the Broward Center was really more about my personal appreciation for what their performances bring to the community.
Business for the Arts of BrowardBusiness for the Arts of Broward is a not-for-profit 501(c)(3) engaging businesses and business leaders to advocate and educate about the importance of the County's art and cultural community as well as to recognize the connection between cultural vitality, creative success, and economic development.For more information contact Lois Marino at 954-940-6373

Interview: Lewis Black, new special, "In God We Rust," premieres midnight tonight on Comedy Central
Stark Raving Black Productions
Lewis Black's "In God We Rust" premieres tonight at midnight on Comedy Central
Tonight Comedy Central will air comedian and social critic Lewis Black's special, In God We Rust, at midnight. In God We Rust, once released as media, will be Black's tenth CD since 2000, an impressive body of material by a comedian who has clearly defined his style, effectively cornering the market on apoplectic rage for over a decade.
Here we are in the midst of another election cycle, the perfect time for another politically-tinged special from Lewis Black, who has consistently been providing commentary on Comedy Central's "The Daily Show With Jon Stewart." He's also been performing plenty of contemporary material, as noted at Comedy Central's "Indecision In The Park" show in Central Park a couple months ago, along with John Oliver, Kristen Schaal, Wyatt Cenac, Al Madrigal, and John Hodgman. Because we se him so regularly on TV, it was a bit of a surprise to learn that In God We Rust was recorded almost a year and a half ago in Minneapolis.

A new Charlottesville non-profit is helping cancer survivors regain confidence from the outside in.
Big C New Me enlisted the help of its Power Crew of volunteer professional makeup artists, hair stylists and a photographer to give local cancer survivors a day to remember Sunday.
"Everyone likes a makeover, everyone likes a haircut," said Amy Hart, executive director of Big C New Me. "That really helps people feel energized and a little more positive going forward."
Hart, a survivor herself, knows the struggles of adjusting to a post-cancer body.
"I had a huge scar on my neck and on my nose and my eyes, so that kind of took its toll on me. My husband says it was four years before I really accepted the new me," she said.
Now, she is helping other survivors, like Janet Pompeo, embrace their new bodies and recover their self esteem.
"You lose a little bit of that and you get insecure at times," said Pompeo. "But this builds it all back up -- maybe for a day or two, but it's built up."
The survivors got their makeup done, hair styled, a new outfit and posed for professional photographs to show off their new looks.
"It just makes you feel so alive and so perky, it does. It makes you feel so much better," said two-time cancer survivor Peggy Carter.
While the makeovers help them feel like themselves again, the participants know it's not all about outward appearance.
"There are so many things that cancer survivors deal with, not just image issues," said Hart. "We've all been physically changed, but it's also a lot of emotional issues, financial issues."
And for a group of people that has had so much taken away, Big C New Me is there to give back.
"You're not a whole self anymore, and you've just got to accept the fact that you are who you are and nothing has changed," said Pompeo. "Because it's inside -- it's not what's on the outside -- that's beautiful."
Sunday's event was Big C New Me's first official Charlottesville event. Hart says she anticipates expanding the event to accommodate more local survivors once they secure more local volunteers.
The group also has a program dedicated to caregivers called The Edge.
After Sunday's Charlottesville kickoff, the group will take its makeover event to Dallas before heading to Atlanta and Ann Arbor, Michigan.

A legislative committee has put the brakes on the LePage Administration's plan to remodel the state prison in Windham. The administration wants to issue a 100-million dollar bond to replace most of the buildings at the facility. Corrections officials said the upgrades are necessary to cut long-term costs and add a geriatric wing and more vocational programming. But, the Legislature's Criminal Justice and Public Safety Committee wants to see an in-depth study, by the Corrections Department, that will prove the renovations are necessary.
For Representative Thomas Tyler, supporting a $100 million overhaul of the Windham prison would seem, on the surface at least, like a no brainer. Tyler, a Republican, represents District 110, which includes Windham. A long-term construction project could mean jobs for constituents in his district. But last week, Tyler joined a majority on the Criminal Justice and Public Safety Committee in voting NOT to fast track the prison overhaul.
"You know, I'm not opposed to building a new prison for, you know, cost savings down the road, over time, if they can prove their cost savings will pay for it," said Tyler. "I do not want to burden the tax payers."
Under the proposed redesign, the aging, medium security facility would no longer feature long hallways with cells. Inmates, instead, would live in units built around a central meeting area. Corrections officials said this would allow the prison to use fewer guards to house twice as many inmates. The estimated savings of $8 million per year could be used to pay down the bond. But last week, Representative Tyler and four other lawmakers on Criminal Justice and Public Safety Committee decided they couldn't just take the department at its word.
"We want to see it on paper," said Tyler. "We want to see a study done."
So the committee has recommended to the legislature's Appropriations Committee that the bond be issued a little over a year from now, after the Corrections Department delivers a feasibility study on the project.
"So it's really not going to effect the project much," said Tyler. "But it does give them more information to look at."
Associate Commissioner Jody Breton said the Department of Corrections is happy to come back to the committee with that information.
"Right now, we have a lot of very small facilities throughout the state that were not built for correctional facilities," Breton said. "They were former bases, used for correctional facilities. They do not have the sight lines. They do not have the programming space."
Governor Paul LePage had wanted to see the bond approved this summer. An e-mail and call to LePAge's spokesperson for comment were not returned by airtime.

Released by Stax in 1973 a massive rare groove album, sampled by Digable Planets and Jay-Z (amongst others) Ghetto: Misfortune's Wealth was a brooding, deep-funk admonition to the new black middle class, without a chance of commercial success.
For its follow-up, Dale Warren's outfit shed these rhetorical ambitions, and for political consolation dug deep into its musical roots, and his time in the mid-sixties as a songwriter at Shrine and Motown.
But Stax closed in 1975, and the tapes were abandoned. Now, miraculously retrieved from a Chicago basement, here's a precious taster: hurt, disillusioned, beautiful, pure, sensuous Windy City soul music, funky and jazzy but street (like Donny Hathaway), musically sophisticated but emotionally straight (like Curtis).

The 17th Annual Faculty + Alumni Fine Art Auction returned to San Francisco's Cannery on November 10, 2012. Hundreds of original works of fine art ― including paintings, prints and sculpture ― were available for purchase. This event, sponsored by the Academy of Art University Foundation and hosted by the Academy's nonprofit galleries, directly supported the Fine Art Student Scholarship Fund. Fifty percent of proceeds were donated directly to the scholarship fund; the remaining half of proceeds were disbursed directly to the artists. Here are just some of the notable works that were available:
Craig Nelson, Academy of Art University's Director of Fine Art Painting for both BFA and MFA, has been depicting landscapes and portraits in rich vibrant oils, instinctively balancing originality with tranquility, for over thirty years. As a high school student in Cupertino, California, Nelson discovered his passion for painting portraits and his admiration for such varied artists as Bernie Fuchs, Rembrandt, Norman Rockwell, and Andrew Wyeth. Nelson, known for the luminosity of his brushwork and stunning color spectrum, captures the beauty of simple, cherished moments in everyday life, with settings ranging from a mood-filled bar room to the age and character of Tuscan architectural landscapes. Artists travel from across the country to locations in Italy, the coastal Carolinas, and California to take part in his private workshops. Nelson's internationally collected works are represented by Artiste in Heladsburg and Santa Ynez, California; Ella Richardson Fine Art in Charleston, South Carolina; Garden Gallery in Half Moon Bay, California; Peterson-Cody Gallery in Santa Fe, New Mexico; and Waterhouse Gallery in Santa Barbara, California. In addition, Nelson has received sought-after awards from Arts for Parks, the California Art Club, and SILA, as well as having published three popular art books including 60 Minutes to Better Painting. Profiles on Nelson and his exceptional artistry have also appeared in American Art Collector and Southwest Art.
Barbara Pence's interest in painting pets began during her education at Academy of Art University. Pence strives to capture the individuality and temperament of each pet. She also explores the interaction and relationship that takes place between owners and their pets in order to incorporate this in her art. Pence enjoys painting still lifes. She seeks to capture her subjects with a good sense of light and dark contrast to bring out the three-dimensional depth and "air" in each piece. Pence recently branched out into mixed media artwork. Her current series, "Falling Leaves" is an exploration of fall color and other related found objects. She gathers colorful leaves, dries and preserved them. She also uses found objects and designs fabric using dyes, stamps and paints then intuitively creates a work of art that compliments her theme.
Currently living in Alameda, Brandi Lee received her BFA this year at Academy of Art University. Lee was featured in the de Young Museum's student showcase, won first and third place in the Abstract category at Academy of Art University's Annual Spring Show, and won a merit award from Gail Wight.
Brian Blood has excited and inspired fine art collectors for over two decades. Since graduating from Academy of Art University and becoming a faculty member in the School of Fine Art, Blood has quickly become one of California's most sought-after plein air painting artists. Blood's signature California landscapes have been featured in a multitude of publications including American Artist, Art of the West, Plein Air, and Southwest Art. His recent achievements include the Best Local Artist Award, the Artist's Choice Award, and the People's Choice Award at the 2008 Carmel Art Festival; the Southwest Art Award of Excellence; showing at the 96th Annual California Art Club's Gold Medal Exhibition; the 2005 People's Choice Award at the Napa Valley Museum; and the Landscape Award of Excellence at Greenhouse Gallery of Fine Art's 2005 Salon International. Blood was recently honored as an Outstanding Alumnus and awarded an Honorary Doctor of Humane Letters from President Elisa Stephens and Academy of Art University.
Doctors were speechless when Leo Bugel was born in Oneonta, New York in 1988, probably due to the fact that when he left his mother's womb he had a paintbrush in one hand, an easel in the other, and was wearing one of those funny French hats and a scarf. After miraculously surviving the horrifying weather conditions of upstate New York for eighteen years, he moved to San Francisco in 2005 and began attending Academy of Art University. He received his BFA in Fine Art Painting in the Spring of 2011. He is currently "painting his ass off" full-time. Leo is not sure exactly what year he will die yet, but hopes that when he does, he doesn't end up to be "one of those artists who was like, poor their whole life and then ends up famous after death.
A BFA graduate from Academy of Art University's School of Fine Art Painting program and current influential instructor, Forfang has established a strong following for his masterful approach to academic realism. Originally from the San Francisco Bay Area, Forfang looks to a wide cross-section of enduring artistic legacies for inspiration, including Jean-Baptiste Chardin's sensitive rendering of light and space and Wayne Thiebaud's compositional use of image repetition. With a concerted focus on still life, Forfang enthralls his viewers by juxtaposing 2D shapes against 3D forms, accentuating color, reflection, and pattern. Forfang's work is currently represented by the renowned John Pence Gallery in San Francisco, California, with past exhibits at the Vose Gallery in Boston, Massachusetts, and the Triton Art Museum in Santa Clara, California. Upon graduation from Academy of Art University, Forfang won First Place Awards at the Academy's Annual Spring Show in three of the Fine Art Painting categories: drawing, figure, and still life.
Earl Enriquez is a full-time faculty instructor for the School of Fine Art Sculpture where he teaches figure sculpture and oversees the foundry. Enriquez has studied at a number of places including Academy of Art University, and considers himself a contemporary Filipino Artist. His large scale figurative bronze work can be found in many public and private collections. His artwork focuses on man's plight against adversity and reflects a passion to make a difference in people's lives.
Brandie Grogan is a San Francisco based mixed media artist who works with printmaking, encaustic and sculpture techniques. Combining these processes with found objects, wood, metal, resin and fabric she creates both 2-D and 3-D installation work. Grogan received her BFA from Ohio State University and her MFA from Academy of Art University's School of Fine Art Printmaking. She currently teaches Fine Art Printmaking for the Academy.
Laurie Kersey is a devoted landscape artist who also creates classic floral still lifes, serene figurative portraits, and horses at play near her home on the Monterey Peninsula in California. Kersey attended Academy of Art University following a fifteen-year career in commercial art. She approaches new paintings with the abiding influence of historic artists: Percy Gray, Michelangelo, Hanson Puthuff, John Singer Sargent, and J.W. Waterhouse. Kersey's recent artistic achievements include awards in the Artist's Magazine's Annual Competition, Carmel Art Festival, Greenhouse Gallery's Salon International, and San Luis Obispo Plein Air Painting Festival. Kersey's work can be found at Pitzer's Fine Art in Wimberley, Texas, and in galleries throughout California such as Jones & Terwilliger Galleries in Carmel and Palm Desert; Garden Gallery in Half Moon Bay; K. Nathan Gallery in La Jolla; and Fairmont Gallery in Sonoma.
Kristin Kyono's artwork meditates on the beauty of urban environments. She looks for underlying relationships among diverse and chaotic forms. Kyono finds the juxtaposition of natural and engineered shapes inspiring. Her mixed media works are a unique fusion of photography, printmaking, drawing and painting.

|Seeking to reduce the gap in mental health care
El Paso, TX, April 20th, 2012 (PAHO/WHO) – In order to prepare mental health professionals so they can provide better care for people suffering from emotional disorders, the Pan American Health Organization/World Health Organization (PAHO/WHO) U.S.-Mexico Border Office in collaboration with the Sanitary Jurisdiction ll from the Health Secretariat held a workshop using the mhGAP Intervention Guide (mhGAP-IG) from April 17 to 19, 2012.
As part of the strategy to integrate mental health into primary care in Ciudad Juarez, PAHO conducted a workshop with the mhGAP Intervention Guide where 38 primary care professionals from the Sanitary Jurisdiction II, Department of health, IMSS, General Hospital, Hospital for Women, and Freedom and Civil Hospital Coordinator addictions were trained.
The objective of the mhGAP Intervention Guide is to prepare physicians, nurses, psychologists and social workers in primary care that can detect and track the most common disorders so they can reduce the gap in mental health care. Some of the topics that were discussed during this training were depression and other emotional disorders.
ABOUT mhGAP
The mhGAP Intervention Guide (mhGAP-IG) for mental, neurological and substance use disorders for non-specialist health settings, is a technical tool developed by WHO to assist in implementation of mhGAP. The Intervention Guide has been developed through a systematic review of evidence followed by an international consultative and participatory process.

Please realize that we cannot incorporate range extensions without access to a voucher specimen, which should (ultimately) be deposited in an herbarium. You can send the pressed, dried collection (with complete locality information indicated) to us (e-mail us for details) or refer us to an accessioned herbarium specimen. Non-occurrence of a plant in an indicated area is difficult to document, but we will especially value your input on those types of possible errors (see automatic conversion of distribution data to maps).

Office Quickies
PersonalityYou like to hang out in offices and don't mind menial tasks. You know your way around a computer, photocopier and fax machine. You have been known to stamp an envelope or two in your time. You are not really into committing to one office long-term. You have a flexible schedule and can come in on short notice or when a really big project needs some person-power.
TasksWe will call you when we have basic stuff to get done. The email would sound like: "Eek, we need help to mail these 2,500 letters" or "We need to enter all these memberships in two weeks" or "200 people want to join our mailing list, help us enter their addresses."
Commitment & RewardYou'll volunteer as often as you can. Every five hours you volunteer gets you one voucher.
Size of TeamWe don't like to limit ourselves. There is always room for one more.
Street Teams
PersonalityYou're on the town, you're talking to people, and you're someone who knows everyone (or who wants to). You love to be on the guest list or get into a show for free. Talking to strangers doesn't scare you. You like night life.
TasksYear round Out On Screen has events or tables at events to spread the word about our program. These events include, but certainly are not limited to, Pride Weekend, Dyke March, Car-Free Days, special screenings, co-presentations and more.

Commitment & Reward
Time commitment can be anywhere from 5 - 10 hours a month. For every five hours you volunteer, you'll receive a voucher to a film.
Size of Team
2 - 3 volunteers.
PersonalityYou're not just a stereotype 'cause you like to build, fix and lift things. You don't mind getting a little hot and sweaty when the time comes. You own tools and know how to use them.
TasksSometimes you just need a butch. We have things that need moving and fixing all the time, especially during the Festival.
Commitment & RewardIt is hard to say how much time is needed. We could always use someone to come in and fix things for us. During the Festival, we need help during the day when we switch venues and late at night after big parties.
Size of TeamThere are never enough butches.
PersonalityYa'know you have a car, you like to drive it. You don't mind lifting heavy things.
TasksThere are certain times of the year, especially in the summer, that we need drivers to pick up stuff for us.

Size of TeamNo limits to the amount of cars and drivers we have at our disposal.
Copy Editors
PersonalityYou read Eats, Shoots and Leaves and have a strong opinion about it. When people don't understand the difference between syntax and semantics you lose your mind. You know when to use a semi-colon and what irony really means.
TasksYou police our style sheets and check our syntax. You don't have to write or edit for content.
Commitment & RewardIn May and June as we madly prepare our guide you will be available to read and edit from home or by coming into our office. You may be called upon other times during the year as well. 5 hours = 1 voucher, plus you know the films and schedule before everyone else.
Size of Team2-3 volunteers

That's a beautiful bed... wish my puppies would sleep in their own beds. Ours like to sleep with us all night. They will stay in their beds during the day when we are busy, but the minute we hit the be... they are there with us. HaHa

My cats think the guest room is a bedroom just for them.
