"It is an illusion that photos are made with the camera… they are made with the eye, heart and head." – Henri Cartier-Bresson
"Now I want to see you do a series in B&W that is wide angle, includes people, and is underexposed. I want to see the Kelly shot of that."To my friend Pam, challenge accepted.
In her original comment, Pam referenced Henri Cartier-Bresson, so before I started on this journey, I did a little research to find out more about his life and art. I learned that Henri was French photographer who famous for his candid, street-style photography. He shot almost exclusively in black & white and preferred to shoot events inconspicuously. He also preferred to focus on small details believing that "the smallest thing can be a great subject."
For Henri, the technical aspects of photography were always secondary to "seeing"...they existed only to help him express what he saw with his mind's eye. And it was with this intention that I spent the better half of the month of June, looking for opportunities to capture the moments that touched my heart. Such as my parents dancing to Unchained Melody on my back porch.
Or an afternoon on the lake with my girl.
Even ordinary, everyday moments seem to stand out in black and white.

Tech Ruggers Thrashed in Las Cruces
NMSU Prevails 39-6LAS CRUCES, N.M. November 1, 2010 – A young, short-handed New Mexico Tech men's rugby team was soundly thrashed by New Mexico State University in Las Cruces Saturday by a score of 39-6. The Chiles crossed the line to touch down seven tries while the Pygmies couldn't manage any. The Techies were spared a goose egg by two three-point penalty kicks in the second half by Jordan Fastle.
In a curtain-raising exhibition, six members of the Tech women's team were adopted into the NMSU fifteen to take on the Atomic Sisters of Albuquerque, the Western Rugby Union women's division champions. The Sisters had their way for most of the match but Andrea Buckel made the Techie's presence known with a tackle-breaking scoring run of some 35 meters.
The young Pygmies will have an open weekend to lick their wounds before hosting Rio Grande Union men's division contenders New Mexico Brujos. The November 13 contest will wrap up the autumn season for the 6 win, 8 loss Pygmies.
Saturday was the last competitive outing of the fall semester for the Queens. Tech's female ruggers will continue practice sessions at 4 p.m. Mondays and Wednesdays on the New Mexico Tech rugby ground.
In Las Cruces, the bottom dropped out of the Pygmy game partly due to the absence of head captain Royce Beaudry, star halfback Dustin Webb and other noticeable exclusions. Beaudry, along with influential flank forward Roosevelt Theodore, was in Socorro taking the national Fundamentals of Engineering exam. Webb continues to be sidelined with injury while veteran hooker Blaine Trujillo was called home for branding duties. The Pygmies traveled to Las Cruces with only two substitute players, five fewer than the allowable limit.
The match, played in unusually warm late-October temperatures, opened well enough for a Tech squad liberally sprinkled with first-semester players. The eight forwards, James Chavez, Stephen Albritton, Zach Mitchell, Joaquin Roibal, Nick Kallas, Graham Payne, Seth Ferlita and co-captain Jerod Aragon, won their share of possession in both lineouts and scrums. But maintaining possession proved a trouble spot as poor passing options and inexperience in tackle situations by the most inexperienced Pygmy squad to take the field in years continuously presented New Mexico State with opportunities.
The first Chile try came after 10 minutes of play on a quick tap and run from a penalty called against Tech. State's diminutive halfback broke a tackle and scampered 25 meters to touch the ball down and set up an easy conversion kick and a 7-0 State lead. NMSU scored two more tries for a 21-0 halftime lead as the Pygmy attack continued to sputter.
Tech's best period of play came during the final 30minutes, but by that time State had put up three additional tries for a comfortable 34-0 lead. The Pygmies simplified their approach by running straight rather than passing wide and mixed in some kicks by Marshal Spradley, playing flyhalf for his first time after co-captain Isaiah Sanchez had to retire with a strained hip. Led by replacement scrumhalf Enrique Koerdell, Tech camped on State's end of the field and the home team was pressured into penalties, two of which were converted into three-pointers by Fastle in his debut as Tech's placekicker.
Veteran NMSU center Khan Muhammad scored a breakaway try to spoil Tech's rally, and three minutes later referee Eliot Salgado's whistle signaled the end of New Mexico Tech's trying afternoon.

College Work Study
Federal Work Study assignments are designed to provide part-time employment for full time students to help meet the cost of direct and indirect college expenses. Federal Work Study (FWS) is awarded based on financial need and early application.
Federal Work Study Student Employment
- Federal Work Study is designed to provide part-time employment to currently enrolled Maryville University students who need income to help meet the costs of post-secondary education.
- The Financial Aid Office determines eligibility and allocates work study funds. To be eligible, students must submit a FAFSA by March 1 every year.
- Students awarded work study funding must search for open work study positions in MyCareer and submit a resume. There are some options for off-campus community service sites as well.
Eligibility and Award
Many factors are reviewed to determine eligibility. The two most important are:
- File the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) no later than March 1
- Demonstrate financial need (based on FAFSA) If eligible, Work Study will be included on the Access Maryville Notice of Financial Aid. This amount may change if information changes. Maryville University calculates eligibility, then allocates work study hours and funds to students. Students are paid monthly for the hours worked and reported that month. The amount of earnings cannot exceed the total amount awarded per semester.
Benefits of Work Study
Aside from a wage, students find that work-study provides them with many other benefits. Some of these benefits are:
- Transferable work skills and experience which will be essential in the post-graduation employment search
- Several studies have shown that university students that work between 5 and 20 hours a week earn higher grades than their non-working peers as well as time management skills
- Many students develop good networking relationships with staff members who can provide excellent letters of recommendation or references for future jobs and education.
- Work Study earnings are not included in the calculations when financial aid eligibility is determined for the following year.
Community Service
Community service work study offers an alternative to traditional on-campus employment by finding jobs in the community where students have the opportunity to earn wages while helping a nonprofit organization. Community service involves assignments which are designed to improve the quality of life for community residents, particularly low income individuals. Some fields which qualify as community service include health care, elementary and secondary math and reading tutors, child care, literacy training, welfare, social services, public safety, crime prevention, recreation and community improvement. Having transportation is required to take advantage of one of these positions.
For more information on community service or a referral to a community service site, contact the Coordinator of Student Employment at 314.529.9360 ext. 6702.
Types of Jobs Available
Through the online Job Search, a student awarded work study can review available position, job summary and rate of pay. There are both on-campus and off-campus job opportunities available.
A wide range of work study jobs exist at the university. Students provide valuable work in areas ranging from the academic offices to Athletics and Computer Labs.
Applying for Campus Jobs
All student employment openings are posted on the Career and Professional Development web page. To view open positions, please login to MyCareer and search under Institutional Work Study. Make sure to upload your resume into the system for employers to view! Review the job positions carefully for the position that interests you.
Only students who have been awarded Federal or Work Study are eligible to apply for a University funded job. Students may be employed in more than one position; however, a student may not work over the number of hours awarded per week in a single or combination of university positions.
Interviewing with the Hiring Department
After choosing position(s), contact the hiring department and speak with the person listed in the job posting. When you determine and an interview time:
- Be prepared to discuss any previous work or volunteer experiences you have had.
- Dress appropriately and be on time for the interview.
- Take both your class schedule and copy of your financial aid award to the interview.
If you get the job, the hiring supervisor will complete the Student Employment Authorization Form and forward it to the Student Service Center for processing. You may ask for a copy of this form for your records.
Payroll Documents
Students should be prepared to start work the first week of classes if the following conditions are met: enrolled full time; accepted the Work Study portion of the financial aid award; hired by a department, completed Student Employment Authorization form, set a work schedule with the supervisor; completed W-4 tax forms and I-9 form received from the supervisor.
Be sure to bring proper identification when completing the I-9 form. The most common forms of identification are: US Passport; Driver's License; Original Social Security Card; Birth Certificate. Students will not be able to start working and enter hours worked until all paperwork is complete!
Work Schedule and Attendance
The work schedule should be discussed with your supervisor before employment begins and every semester thereafter to be certain expectations on both sides are communicated. The number of hours per week can be estimated by dividing the work study award by the hourly wage and then by 30 weeks (15 weeks in each semester). For example, if the award amount is $2580 per academic year and the hourly rate is $8.60, then the student should work around 10 hours per week (2580 divided by 8.60/30) to earn the entire dollar amount of the award. If the student employee is unable to report for work, it is his/her responsibility to notify the supervisor and make an arrangement to make up the hours missed. Students are expected to work the entire award period.
Because work-study is a source of financial aid, enrollment in classes is required for employment. Students who completely withdraw from classes must cease working effective the date of withdrawal. The only enrollment exception is during summer and periods between semesters when enrollment will occur.
Work Study job transfers, in general, are discouraged and under normal circumstances only one transfer is allowed. The Work Study Coordinator is available to meet with the student employee to discuss the individual situation and make a decision about the transfer.
Wages and Pay Period
Student employees are paid biweekly at an hourly rate established by the University. Missouri's minimum wage is currently $8.60 therefore, most work study students begin at this hourly rate. Some departments pay above this level as their positions require advanced skill and experience. Students will report hours worked using ADP Workforce Now.
Work study is not deductible from the semester balance due. As hours are worked and time submitted to the Payroll Department, wages are paid bi-weekly directly to the student. Students may set up direct deposit through ADP and payment occurs biweekly following employment and submission of approved hours.
Work study wages are taxable income. Student employees will receive W-2 forms in January showing their earnings for the previous calendar year. If taxes are withheld from the paycheck the amount of taxes withheld will reduce the net amount of the earnings.
Summer Employment
To qualify for summer employment a student must be enrolled full time during the preceding spring or following fall semester. Summer student employment starts in May (after commencement) and ends in August (Friday before beginning of fall semester). Students may apply for open positions posted on the Office of Career and Professional Development's web page. To view open positions, please login to MyCareer and search under Maryville Work Study starting after the spring break. When hired, a Student Employment Authorization must be completed by the hiring supervisor and submitted to the Student Service Center. During the summer students may work no more than 20 hours per week while enrolled in classes and up to 40 hours per week if not attending summer classes. The number of available work hours may vary by department.
Next Year's Award
Remember to file your FAFSA as soon after October 1 as possible each year, because this aid program is awarded on a first- come, first- serve basis. An early filing allows priority consideration for limited funding sources.

The archives document the lives and issues of vital importance to Australian women. They cover attitudes to topics as varied as women and the church, women's rights, abortion law reform, family planning, contraception, the peace movement, women's refuges, rape crisis centres, health care, discrimination against women in the workforce, the fight for equal pay, struggles for government funded child care, women and advertising and women in local government.
The archives include letters, diaries, journals, the papers of women's organisations and audio recordings. Access to the database can be gained by contacting the Library.
The archives hold approximately 150 archival collections. The focus of the collection essentially is on Australian women of the 20th century although some international material is included where it is relevant. Most of the material is contemporary and documents 'second wave Australian feminism'. The material dates from the 1970s and 1980s to the present day. A few collections date back to the turn of the 20th century.
Included in the archives are papers of diverse women's groups such as the Australian Council for Women, Canberra Women's Archives, Association of Non English Speaking Background Women of Australia, King George V Women's Advocacy Group, Parent Centres of Australia, Nursing Mothers' Association, Matrix Guild, Sydney Older Women's Network, Older Women's Network (ACTION), Australian Women's Local Government Association, War Widows Guild of Australia and the Women's Reconciliation Network. There are also papers from defunct groups such as Women and Management and Capital Women.
The archives have collected papers from individual women from all over Australia. These include the collections of songwriter and writer Meta MacLean, artist Helen Sanderson and writer Helen Ruby from Queensland; political activist Josie Conway; Olympic swimsuit designer Gloria Mortimer-Dunn and Betty Hart from NSW; Betty Searle and Biff Ward from ACT and Josephine Dowling from WA. The Library holds original manuscripts and published works of writer Cecilie Milne who wrote as Barbara Gordon/ Sarah Maitland and a proof copy and notes of a novel Freighter by Susan Yorke.
The size of the collection varies from just one tiny file such as a letter dated 1916 from Annie Golding (1855-1934), teacher, suffragist, NSW Secretary of the Women's Progressive Association 1901 and President 1904, to extensive collections such as the papers from political activist, feminist, nurse, photographer Helen Leonard (1945-2001). There are 13,000 photographs documenting 30 years of the women's movement.Much of the collection does not fit within a conventional archival collection policy. In 2005, State Records of NSW donated to the archives a small collection of papers which belonged to cookery teacher, Emily Winifred Nell. These papers date back to 1910 and clearly illustrate how the patterns of women's lives have changed over the past 100 years. The Library holds material from academic sources that cannot find a home in a university. Academics such as Dr Heather Radi, Dr Patricia Ranald, Dr Robin Porter, Dr Jane Innes, Dr Sybil Jack and TAFE principal, Wilga Pruden, have deposited their papers with the Archives. Interesting small collections have been donated by the sons of deceased feminists. These include the papers of Violet Patrick, Patricia Carey and Pam Ledden (Older Women's Network).
Photographer Elaine Norling donated 11 poster-sized framed photographic collections which document Australian women's activities at the UN Beijing Women's Conference in 1995. The archives also hold another exhibition entitled 'Significant Women' that includes photographs with short biographies of significant women in Australian history compiled by Elaine Norling, with documentation by Audrey Green, a Library volunteer. The Library's Pine Gap photographic collection is a series of 35 story boards which illustrate activities at the women's peace camp and protests at Pine Gap in the Northern Territory in 1983.
Using the Archives Collection
Prior arrangements are required for the use of the archives. Please contact the Archivist directly by telephone or email

About 900,000 county voters can expect postcards in the mail next week in an effort to increase the number of people who permanently vote by mail.
"Voting by mail gives people more flexibility by allowing them to review the ballot in their own homes and avoid travel time and waiting at the polls," said County of San Diego Registrar of Voters Deborah Seiler. "Those who cast their ballots by mail are also more likely to vote."
In last month's Direct Primary Election, 56 percent of permanent vote-by-mail voters cast ballots, compared to an overall turnout of just 34 percent. In February's Presidential Primary Election, turnout among permanent vote-by-mail voters was 71 percent, compared to an overall turnout of 61 percent.
The County Registrar of Voters did a similar mailing last October and boosted the number of permanent vote-by-mail voters by about 100,000. The goal with this mailing is to increase the number by at least 50,000.
Once a voter fills out the postcard, that person will automatically be sent a ballot for every election. You can also download the form here.
Vote-by-mail ballots are sent several weeks before each election. Completed ballots can be returned by mail or dropped off at a polling place or at the Registrar of Voters office.
Vote-by-mail ballots used to be referred to as "absentee ballots," but a 2007 California law changed the term to reflect the fact that anyone can vote by mail for any reason.
For more information, please visit www.sdvote.com, or call the Registrar's office at (858) 565-5800.

(Feb. 25, 2011) – Future nurses, radiologic technologists, occupational therapists, pharmacy technologists, veterinarian technicians, firefighters, police officers and dental hygienists at Lone Star College System are making waves with their test scores – 100 percent of them passing – on national and state board exams.
Many degree programs offered at Lone Star Colleges require students to pass licensure exams following graduation to receive certification from state boards and to gain employment. LSCS students have consistently scored high on qualifying exams.
But in many programs at Lone Star College, every student that takes a qualifying exam passes it, for a 100-percent pass rate, allowing the students to find successful careers in hospitals, doctor's offices, veterinary clinics, pharmacies, dental offices, police departments and more throughout the state of Texas.
For example, at LSC-Kingwood, 100 percent of the dental hygiene students passed their National Board Dental Hygiene Exam and the Western Region Clinical Board Exams – for the fifth consecutive year.
At LSC-North Harris, 100 percent of recent graduates of the law enforcement academy passed their state qualifying tests. Same goes for nursing students at LSC-Tomball – 100 percent passed the state licensing exams again this last year.
"The success in achieving a 100-percent pass rate on a program is a testament to the rigor of our program and the quality of instruction delivered by dedicated and committed faculty," said Dr. Donetta Goodall, vice chancellor of academic affairs and student success at LSCS. "We are proud to say we have this success at all five colleges and in several programs."
Jonathon Holland, a recent graduate of the LSC-Kingwood dental hygienist program, cites the high level of professionalism among the instructors.
"The fact that LSC-Kingwood consistently has a 100-percent pass rate with each class and continues to improve the average score overall, truly demonstrates the dedication of the instructors and directors to maintain an unsurpassed standard of excellence," Holland said. "I can proudly say I am glad to be a graduate from such a great program and would recommend anyone looking to begin a great career at a great place to apply to the program."
Another example of the 100-percent pass rates can be seen in the results of the radiologic technology program at LSC-Montgomery. Since the program began in 2003, six of the seven graduating classes have seen a 100-percent pass rate of state exams on the first pass, setting a cumulative first-attempt pass rate average at 99.3 percent.
"Our graduates go on to do amazing and wonderful things with their careers and futures," said Melanie Hail, associate professor of radiologic technology at LSC-Montgomery. "Many are already working in the field at area hospitals or clinics … others are continuing their education with a bachelor's degree."
According to the U.S. Department of Labor, there is a huge demand in the healthcare industry – including employment of registered nurses – and the industry is expected to grow much faster than the average through 2018. In fact, the need for registered nurses is projected to generate more than 581,000 new jobs, among the largest number of new jobs for any occupation.
Because of anticipated demand, vocational nursing and nursing programs are offered at all five Lone Star Colleges.
Other health care programs like medical radiologic technology, occupational therapy assistant, pharmacy technology, surgical technology, veterinary technology and dental hygiene assistants are also offered at LSCS. In fact, more than 65 percent of workers in health occupations get training from community colleges like Lone Star College.
Goodall mentioned that several other programs system wide also have 90 percent or higher pass rates for students taking their state board exams, including cosmetology and surgical technology.
Catherine Wampler, director of the nursing program at LSC-Tomball, indicated that the state of Texas recognizes the achievements of Lone Star College and its students.
"For associate degree and vocational nursing, we receive commendations from the Texas Board of Nursing for pass rates of greater than 90 percent consistently each year," said Wampler.
With more than 69,000 students in credit classes for spring 2011, and a total enrollment of more than 85,000, Lone Star College System is the largest institution of higher education in the Houston area, and the fastest-growing community college system in Texas. Dr. Richard Carpenter is the chancellor of LSCS, which consists of five colleges including LSC-CyFair, LSC-Kingwood, LSC-Montgomery, LSC-North Harris, and LSC-Tomball, six centers, LSC-University Park, LSC-University Center at Montgomery, LSC-University Center at University Park, Lone Star Corporate College, and LSC-Online.

It wasn't too long ago that I started to become familiar with Asperger, Autism, and the Broader Autistic Phenotype. I.e., Aspies.[1] Since then, I've been doing a bit of research on the topic.
One thing I keep on seeing though is the labeling of Aspies as "disabled". When I read about people calling Aspies "disabled", I feel somewhat dumbfounded. How could you call someone with superior mental abilities "disabled".
Calling Aspies "disabled" is like calling an Olympic sprinter "disabled" because his running abilities are different than "normal" people. Calling Aspies "disabled" is like calling a body builder "disabled" because his huge muscles make it so he doesn't fit into "normal" clothing sizes. Aspies have some superior mental abilities, like being more rational than common people and less affected by instincts that many people are affected by.
Now, I do want to say that some Aspies do definitely seem disabled. But many don't.[2]
I think non-Aspies, or Neurotypicals as they're often called (which are most the people in the word), really don't understand what it is like to be an Aspie. So perhaps an analogy would help in understanding what the world is like for Aspies.
Imagine a world where most the people in the world are retarded. Now imagine that every now and then, some of these retarded people have a non-retarded children. Now the non-retarded children don't behave like all the retarded people in the world. They don't socialize the same way. (Although they socialize just fine with other non-retarded people.) Also, many mental abilities (like counting, basic mathematics, etc) are trivial for them. They notice things that the retarded people don't notice. They can figure out things that the retarded people don't seem capable of. They have interests that the retarded people would never be interested in.
But to the retarded people, these non-retarded people are different. Now imagine that the retarded people call the non-retarded people "disabled". (Dumbfounding!) Now imagine that you have retarded people telling them that they want to "cure" the non-retarded people, and turn them into retards so they can be like everyone else. (Even more dumbfounding!)
In some ways, it's like a Forced Eugenics version of "Harrison Bergeron". Although, that would imply a realization of what Aspies really are. Which I don't think most these people, who are calling the this a "disability", have.
Being rational is not a "disability". Not being as affected by many of the (primitive) instincts most people are affected by, in not a "disability". Not wanting to make small talk is not a "disability".
The "rub" is though that, how does a "non-retarded" person explain to the "retarded" people that they are not "disabled" and not only that what they are does not need to be "cured", but it should not be "cured".
[1] Note, although technically not correct, many people call people that are classified as having Asperger, Autism or part of the Broader Autistic Phenotype, as "Aspies". I also tend to do so. Hopefully this will not confuse anyone.
[2] I'd be interested in finding some statistics on how many non-disabled vs disabled[3] Aspies there are. My personal experience and current level of knowledge about being an Aspies tells me that most are not disabled. But it is possible that my experience may not be representative.
[3] I mean "disabled" from an objective perspective, more along the lines of the laymen idea of "disabled". Having a definition of "disabled" mean essentially, "being different than the norm", makes it essentially meaningless.

Survive! knives have quickly become one of the most popular and highly sought after knife brands on the market today. Specializing in high-end fixed blades and neck knives, Survive! knives have quickly caught the attention of many knife enthusiasts, but especially those who are big proponents of outdoor/survivalist knives.
Based out of Pennsylvania, Survive! knives owner Guy Seiferd stands behind his products 100% and offers a lifetime warranty just like many of the big manufacturers today. These elite fixed blades offer a wealth of options including bow drill divots, ferro notches, different micarta handle colors and even sheath colors. For blade steel they are utilizing mostly CPM 3V and even CPM 20CV–both offering superior edge retention, corrosion resistance and great impact strength for even the toughest of applications–just like a true fixed blade should be.
The most recent knives to hit our shelves has been the 6.75″ blade 7/7 model which is only just the 5th production model to be released from Survive! knives. Previously we have seen the necker knife, the 4.1 model, the 5 model and finally the 5.1 model. The model numbers due in fact correlate with the blade size so make sure you keep an eye out for future models such as the necker II, the 3.5 model, the 6 model and even the 10 model.
All in all, Survive! fixed blades have without a doubt earned their place in the knife industry and its exciting to see the demand grow for these almost on a weekly basis.

I was thinking about P.'s early days today because someone I know - friend of a friend - just had a baby and is having a rough go of things. As mom friends often do a bunch of us jumped in to say, hey, this is going to be okay. You can do this. And it will all be worthwhile. We promise. It might not feel that way today, but you'll get there.
Once upon a time, P. was a generally healthy later-term preemie with an eating problem. Or maybe it makes more sense to say I was a worried preemie mom with a feeding problem. The problem was that she wasn't an enthusiastic eater. She grew, but slowly. She ate, but on her own terms, at her own pace. I had to learn to let go and let her do her thing. That was hard.
Sometimes when I encounter a new mom or a mama with a new baby who is going through a hard patch I think about all the hours I spent crying over P. Like literally crying over her, watering her tiny face with my tears. I not only worried about what was there in front of us but also how my worry would affect P.
Would she remember how sad I was in some unconscious way?
Now I can say with fair certainty that no, I don't think she does. P. is sweetness and light nearly all of the time and when she shines that light around it shines warm on me, patching up the broken pieces that cracked off in those early days of no sleep and feeling like I had to fight tooth and nail to help my child thrive.
I know this: The tears weren't worth it. The fight to keep going definitely was.
To those mothers struggling today, it gets better. It really does. Just keep breathing if that's all you can do in this moment and if you water your baby's face with your tears tonight, think of it like the water of life. Maybe in some way you're nourishing that baby's soul - preparing him or her to be able to give and fight and shine in the great grand someday.
She shined her way through kindergarten...
And she's still shining today...

As Editors of Head & Face Medicine we are pleased to announce the timely addition of a new subspecialty Facial Nerve to the scope of our multi-disciplinary journal. The Journal Development Committee has decided to create this new section, and the subspecialty's growing importance is reflected by the creation of a new editorial board position. Rainer Laskawi, MD, Professor of Otolaryngology at the ENT Department of the University of Göttingen, has agreed to accept this new editorial board position. We are grateful to Professor Laskawi, winner of the Ludwig Haymann Award of the German ENT Society, for his willingness to offer his outstanding expertise to work with us for the benefit of the journal and the scientific community.
Rainer Laskawi brings a wealth of experience to this new position. He experimentally studied the effects of peripheral nerve lesions (mainly facial nerve) on the central nervous system, especially on the supranuclear brain structures such as the motor cortex. His research group found fundamental short time changes in the functional cortical reorganization following different types of facial nerve lesions. Using glial cell markers, Laskawi and coworkers could demonstrate structural changes in later stages of cortical reorganization.
Rainer Laskawi's research interests focus on clinical problems associated with the facial nerve and the salivary glands, and he also studied the clinical use of botulinum toxin in many indications concerning the head, face and neck region. His research group first described the clinical use and effectiveness of botulinum toxin in sweat glands to treat focal hyperhidrosis, a research initiative that was greatly acknowledged by the German ENT Society. Jointly with Peter Roggenkämper (University of Bonn), he edited the volume Botulinumtoxin – Therapie im Kopf-Hals-Bereich.
Rainer Laskawi is President of the Sir Charles Bell Society (SCBS), an international multi-disciplinary non-profit organization created at the VII International Facial Nerve Symposium in Cologne (1992), dedicated to collection, dissemination and interchange of ideas relating to the facial nerve. As the President of the SCBS, member of the Scientific Board of the German Dystonia Society, and Section Editor of Head & Face Medicine he holds key positions for encouraging and disseminating multi-disciplinary thinking among students, clinicians, and researchers with a scientific interest in the facial nerve.

Berserker's Still Exist In Quantum Ocean
Modern day scholars say that Berserker's were Norse warriors who wore coats of wolf or bear skins and fought in a trance of fury. I say that they were much more than that. I believe they actually transformed into wolves and bears!
Modern day man has lost all of his spirituality and therefore the belief in Supernatural happenings is lost to him. But the writings of thousands of scholars pre 1900's, (When there was still some spiritual energies in the world) wrote about shape shifting and shape changing.
Look at the modern day classics, "Dracula" and the "Wolf Man." My Rune Master told me when it comes to believing what was written, "where there is smoke there is fire."
I have proof of a Berserker in my own family. Though he didn't change shape. My grandfather, who was born in Sweden, would bite on his tongue and go into a Rage whenever he fought. Which he did many times. He was gassed in France during WW1. He fell off a three story building while tarring a roof (and drunk). He lost the use of his left arm. In his 80's he would take his SS check, go to his favorite bar, throw the check on the bar and say "Throw me out when this is gone. If you can." He still fought in his 80's with one arm.
Berserkers were also known as Odin's warriors, for they all carried spears and had runes either tattooed or drawn on their bodies.
King Harolds's army included a warrior gang of Berserker's who fought under the name of the Norse God of War, Tyr. They all carried Tyr's rune, on their shields int battle.
Berserker's are mentioned in the Ynglinga Saga. "Odin's warriors rushed forward without armor, they were as mad a wolves or bears, bit their shields and were as strong as wild Bulls, and killed people in one blow, but neither fire nor iron told upon themselves..."
Berserker's appear in many of the Sagas and poems including "The Saga of Hrolf Krakl."
In Egil's Saga, Egil's grandfather was named Kueld-ulf which means "Werewolf." Kueld-ulf's son, Skalla-Grimm was a Berserker.
The Varangian Guard (Norse Warriors working in the service of the Byzantine Empire) performed a "Berserker Dance" wearing animal skins and masks.
In 1015, Janc Eirkr Hakonarson of Norway outlawed Berserker's and sentenced them to out lawry. By the 1100's organized Berserker war bands disappeared.
But according to our new laws of Quantum Physics, Berserker's still exist in the Quantum Ocean. You might want to attract one or two of them to protect your property if you live in a bad part of town.

Doofus-o-mania..must be the water!
When it rains it pours. Doofuses among us run rampant. This one, we can file under "fool me once, shame on YOU, fool me twice, shame on me".
Its Monday afternoon and I am returning from my all-too-short lunch and I see one of my long timers (we will call him Wigged out…Wiggie for short) sitting in the wait room. Tho he has never been a FAV of mine, (too many narcs..too many docs- not a good combo), he has at least always been pleasant when he is sober. This day he picked up a nice cocktail of genericVicodin and Diazepam. (Note..I didn't spell it VICODAN..it has never been nor ever will be spelled that way. learn to spell it correctly all ye who prescribe). He picked up the rx and went on his merry way. I was not involved in the filling, dispensing or counseling of this patient. I did however, say hello as I walked by.
A couple of hours later, the phone rings and its Wiggie. The tech takes the call and passes it to me. "You better take this one, he thinks we made a mistake". He proceeds to tell me that the tablets inside the bottle do not match the descriptor on the side. "These are yellow and it says they should be blue". My first thought was damn, he got 5mg instead of 10mg…We were slammed so I asked him to return the product and I will replace it. Shortly thereafter he returns and I open the bottle and sure enough there are yellow tabs inside. I set them aside, replace the drug, make appropriate apologies, document the discussion and leave it for MyManFriday who was the filling pharmacist. I wrote a post it note "Diaz 5mg? make sure all rx scanned for accuracy".
Since it was a very busy monday, I set it aside and didn't do anything else with it. I'll talk to Man Friday tomorrow…
Most of tuesday passes when the phone rings and its Friday on the line. "The tablets inside that bottle that Wiggie returned aren't Diazepam 5. they are cyclobenzaprine by WHAZZIT labs, a product WE DONT CARRY.
Well well well, we have a new game on. Wiggie has moved from routine drug seeking to faking rx errors to obtain more diazepam. Game over BUCKO.
We left him a message to call us (knowing darn well he wouldn't be THAT stupid). Then called the prescriber, cancelled any rx's he had on file and marked his profile as terminated. We figured we had seen the last of Wiggie.
Well he was indeed THAT stupid. He called on wednesday and attempted the same ruse… with the same rx!!! When informed that not only had we fixed the "error" but we were on to his scam because what he returned was something we dont stock. He hung up on Man Friday.
But to take the cake…drumroll please……He called on Thursday and wanted to fill some rx's he had on hold. In the sweetest voice I could muster I said "Wiggie, you can't fill prescriptions here anymore. "
He had the audacity to ask WHY.
Well Wiggie, all the docs know what you did. And so do the pharmacies around us. Good luck with your next venture.

Scientists use tools called gradients to understand how molecules interact in biological systems. Researchers from North Carolina State University have developed a new technique for creating biomolecular gradients that is both simpler than existing techniques and that creates additional surface characteristics that allow scientists to monitor other aspects of molecular behavior.
A gradient is a material that has a specific molecule on its surface, with the concentration of the molecule sloping from a high concentration on one end to a low concentration at the other end. The gradient is used not only to determine whether other molecules interact with the molecules on the gradient, but to determine the threshold level at which any interactions take place.
The new technique begins by creating a substrate, prepared in the lab of NC State professor Dr. Salah Bedair, out of the semiconductor material indium gallium nitride (InGaN). The substrate itself is a gradient, sloping from an indium-rich end (with a larger proportion of indium to gallium) to a gallium-rich end. The indium-rich end is more conducive to the formation of oxides. When exposed to humidity, negatively charged indium and gallium oxides form on the surface of the substrate. The substrate development for these purposes was proposed by Dr. Tania Paskova, a professor of electrical and computer engineering at NC State.
The researchers then put the substrate into a solution that contains an amino acid called L-arginine, which is positively charged at biologically relevant pH levels – such as those found in the human body.
"The L-arginine binds to the negatively charged oxides on the surface of the substrate," says Lauren Bain, a Ph.D. student at NC State who is lead author of a paper on the work. "Because there is more oxide accumulation at the indium-rich end, there is a higher concentration of L-arginine at that end, and the concentration gradually declines along the surface of the substrate as you move toward the gallium-rich end.
"We studied L-arginine because it is small, but relevant. Because it is small, we could easily assess what was happening during our study," Bain says. "But because it is a building block for proteins, we can build on this work to study full peptides and proteins – such as ligands that bind to cell receptors."
"This technique also creates changes in the topography of the InGaN's surface, based on the different crystalline structures within the material as its shifts from being indium-rich to being gallium-rich," says Dr. Albena Ivanisevic, senior author of the paper. "This allows us to assess topographical differences in molecular adhesion, which is important, given the variety of topographies found in biological systems." Ivanisevic is an associate professor of materials science and engineering at NC State and associate professor of the joint biomedical engineering program at NC State and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
The paper, "Biomolecular Gradients via Semiconductor Gradients: Characterization of Amino Acid Adsorption to InxGa1-xN Surfaces," is published online in ACS Applied Materials and Interfaces. The paper's co-authors include Aadhithya Hosalli Mukund of NC State and Dr. Scott Jewett of Affinergy, LLC.

Abstract: The band gap of indium gallium nitride can be tuned by varying the compositional ratio of indium to gallium, spanning the entire visible region and extending into the near-infrared and near-ultraviolet. This tunability allows for device optimization specific to different applications, including as a biosensor or platform for studying biological interactions. However, these rely on chemically-dependent interactions between the device surface and the biostructures of interest. This study presents a material gradient of changing In:Ga composition and the subsequent evaluation of amino acid adsorption to this surface. Arginine is adsorbed to the surface in conditions both above and below the isoelectric point, providing insight to the role of electrostatic interactions in interface formation. These electrostatics are the driving force of the observed adsorption behaviors, with protonated amino acid demonstrating increased adsorption as a function of native surface oxide buildup. We thus present a gradient inorganic substrate featuring varying affinity for amino acid adhesion, which can be applied in generating gradient architectures for biosensors and studying cellular behaviors without application of specialized patterning processes.

- 2 Tbsp Dijon-style mustard
- 1 Tbsp sesame seed, toasted
Heat the oven to 425°F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil. Cut off the chicken wing tips and discard. Cut the chicken wings in half at the joint.
Heat 1 1/2 cups picante sauce, marmalade and mustard in a 2-quart saucepan over medium heat to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low. Cook for 40 minutes or until the mixture is reduced to 3/4 cup, stirring occasionally.
Place the chicken into a large bowl. Add the remaining picante sauce and toss to coat. Place the chicken onto the baking sheet.
Bake for 40 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through, turning the chicken over once halfway through the bake time. Baste the chicken with the picante-mustard mixture during the last 10 minutes of the bake time. Sprinkle with the sesame seed, if desired.
Easy Substitution: You can substitute 24 chicken drumettes (about 2 pounds) for the 12 chicken wings in this recipe.

- The diplomatic channel will usually begin with a request to the non-U.S. court to issue a letter rogatory requesting the assistance of a competent authority within the U.S. to compel discovery from persons located in the U.S. (either documents or testimony). The non-U.S. court will likely utilize its own procedures for routing the letter rogatory to its country's embassy in Washington, D.C., at which point the letter may be sent to the Department of State, which will forward it to the Department of Justice, Civil Division, Office of International Judicial Assistance, which is the office responsible for processing and executing such requests. The letter may also be sent directly to the Department of Justice's Office of International Judicial Assistance. Once it is processed by the Department of Justice (which can take one month or more), the letter will typically be sent to the U.S. Attorney's Office for the district in which the person or entity from whom the evidence is required resides. The U.S. Attorney's Office will then make the appropriate application to the federal district court seeking the requested evidence on behalf of the non-U.S. court. After the letter rogatory is executed, it and any evidence that was obtained will be routed back to the non-U.S. court through the same channels.
- Under the Hague Convention on the Taking of Evidence Abroad, letters rogatory must be submitted directly to the Office of International Judicial Assistance at the Department of Justice, which the U.S. has designated as its central authority under the Convention. See Article 2 of the Convention (keep in mind that this assumes the diplomatic channel is being used; under 28 U.S.C. §§ 1781 and 1782, the letter rogatory can be submitted by the non-U.S. court, or by an interested party's attorneys, directly to the appropriate federal district court for execution, bypassing government channels). In our experience, letters rogatory that come from the courts of non-signatory countries can also be sent directly to the Office of International Judicial Assistance at the Department of Justice, without going through the Department of State. Generally, the diplomatic staff of the non-U.S. court's embassy in Washington, D.C. will determine the appropriate channel to use.
- The private attorney's role in this government-to-government process is limited. One can remain in contact with the Office of International Judicial Assistance regarding the status of the letter rogatory; the contact information is listed below. Each letter rogatory received by the office is assigned a unique reference number. Once the letter rogatory is sent to the appropriate U.S. Attorney's Office for execution, it should be a simple matter to call the office to find out which Assistant U.S. Attorney has been tasked with executing the letter rogatory. The Assistant U.S. Attorney will usually be willing to keep interested litigants updated on the letter rogatory's status; if the request seeks oral testimony from a witness (usually on the basis of a list of questions pre-approved by the non-U.S. court), you may also request to be present when the oral testimony is taken. The Hague Convention on the Taking of Evidence provides for this right of access, stating in Article 7 that "the parties concerned, and their representatives, if any, may be present" at the taking of evidence pursuant to the Convention, and information regarding the date, time and place that the evidence will be taken "shall be sent directly to the parties or their representatives when the authority of the State of origin so requests." In our experience, this courtesy has been provided even where the letter rogatory does not issue from a signatory to the Convention.
- Central authority designated by the U.S. to execute letters rogatory from non-U.S. courts:
U.S. Department of Justice
Civil Division
Office of International Judicial Assistance
United States of America

If I can make you 1$ richer, would you pay me 20 cents?
When you think of your competition in business what first comes to mind?
Crush them?
Kill them?
Help them?
Help them??? wait a minute, WTF? Why would you wanna help them?
Most people walking this Earth probably think CRUSH THEM…
And yeah, I get that, I can understand why most people would think that.
But, why crush them when you can help them and they can help you?
It's an abundant world out there (in my opinion) and there is ALWAYS MORE to go round.
So, why not team up with your competition and share the profits? Because, that's what the UFC (Ultimate Fighting Championship) did.
You see, the UFC has their own events.
You know the Conor Mcgregor fights, the Ronda Rousey fights, the Daniel Cormier fights etc. etc.
But the UFC also knows that they are not alone and that there are other events and organisations airing their own fights…
Cage Rage, Glory, Elite FC, King of The Cage etc. etc.
So, why does the UFC not simply attempt to crush these organisations by bad mouthing them as inferior, airing shows at the same time as them or by extreme advertising tactics?
Because, the UFC knows that there is more money to be made in joining forces with these smaller organisations, rather than crushing them!
So, how has the UFC joined forces with their competitors? By streaming their competitors events via UFC Fight Pass (a paid membership website owned by the UFC and designed for MMA fans that want to watch major MMA, kickboxing and grappling events from around the world live and on demand).
This creates a win-win situation for both the UFC and their competitors.
The smaller events get increased exposure and the UFC increases their revenue by charging out more memberships to UFC Fight Pass.
I can also imagine that the UFC knows that in helping these smaller competitor organisations, they also know that they will in turn further expand the sport of MMA, which would overall increase the UFCs fan base and profitability.
So, my question to you today is what competitors can you team up with?
How can you break bread with someone else to increase your own and their own profitability?
Options are limitless, the world does not always have to be dog eat dog!
Thank-you for reading.
– Jordan Flynn
PS. Please leave me a comment if you know any other businesses that have gone this route with their own competition or if you have any other ideas on how the UFC could further increase their own bottom line.
I'm keen to read what you all have to say!

Radiation Oncologists
A Radiation Oncologist is a medical specialist doctor with training in the use of radiation therapy (also called radiotherapy) to cure or reduce the symptoms of cancer, and in the overall care of cancer patients.
They are ultimately responsible for assessing individual patients, determining the best management plan, overseeing treatment and assessing progress. Radiation Oncologists may order tests and images, prescribe medications, and consult with other doctors involved with cancer treatment.
Radiation Oncologists work closely with Radiation Therapists and Radiation Oncology Medical Physicists to ensure that the treatment is safe and accurate. After treatment, ongoing follow-up by the Radiation Oncologist is common, in helping to assess the patient's response to treatment and manage any further developments in the care of the patient.
The Radiation Oncologist will meet regularly with patients and their carers to discuss what is involved before, during and after treatment.

I sure hope everyone is staying nice and dry during this white snowy bliss. Funny how quickly the weather can change, one minute it's above zero, next minute it's freezing. London got hit pretty hard last week and looks like the white stuff will continue? I guess it will force me to snuggle up in front of the fire and watch some good/bad TV? Today I layered in several shades of white (which almost blends into the snow) and grounded the entire look with faux leather pants and over-the-knee boots. Anything to keep warm. Feeling like a real life snow bunny!
Can we also just take a minute to talk about this stunning black and gold Wittnauer watch. I'm totally obsessed. If you're been following along these past few weeks, you may have noticed it's all I've been wearing, I'm in love!

Prolonged oligohydramnios following extreme preterm prelabour rupture of membranes (EPPROM) is traditionally associated with a high morbidity and mortality to both the mother and the baby. The clinical maternal evaluation and fetal ultrasound assessment may provide important prognostic information for the clinicians and should be taken into account when counselling the patients so as to provide them with enough information to make decision of continuing or interrupting the pregnancy. Current financial constraints on the National Healthcare Service (NHS) resources make it imperative for clinical decision-makers and budgetary planners to make the right decision of continuing or terminating a second trimester pre-viability amniorrhexis for desperate parents. To assess the economic consequences following EPPROM, the risk of infection to both baby and mother, psychological impact on the parents and associated complications and further disability after delivery on this fragile group of patients to the NHS resources. We review the clinical course, outcome, and the challenges to parents and health care professionals on three pregnancies complicated by EPPROM, occurring before 24 weeks' gestation with a membrane rupture to delivery interval (latent period) of 14 days or more. The anticipated birth of an extremely premature infant poses many challenges for parents and health care professionals. As parents are faced with difficult decisions that can have a long-term impact on the infant, family and country's resources, it is critical to provide the type of information and support that is needed by them. Taking all these into consideration with the period of ventilation and respiratory assistance in Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) is essential to provide maximum chances for survival, minimizing the risk for long term sequelae of the neonate and provides the parents enough time to decide on making the right decision with the associated guidance of the healthcare provider. © 2014 by the authors; licensee MDPI, Basel, Switzerland.

The water's down a little this year, but there's plenty at the launch ramp, so no problem there. Watch out for the rocks around the point on the launch ramp cove. Best, right now, to circle around the bulrushes and head North on the lake between them and Cigar Island.
There were about 10 boats out today, and I didn't see a lot of action, other than some small crappies, which seem to be in the deeper weedbeds.
I was out for bass and northerns, and didn't have much luck until about noon. I found them in the submerged weeds outside of lily pad fields (I won't say which ones). Bass to 1.5 lb, today, and northerns from 18" to 28". Half a dozen of each in about half an hour, so fishing was hot for awhile. A small, triple-willow chartreuse and white spinnerbait seemed to be what they wanted.
I talked to some returning anglers at the ramp. It looks like I'm the only one who found the bass and northers.
Once the lake warms up a little more, things should pick up. The low water level, though, may require branching out a bit from the normal hot spots, which may be pretty shallow.
Lots of baitfish dimpling the water right now in 3-5 feet of water over the weeds. That's a good sign.

Area's First Ax-Throwing Bar Opening In Somerville Friday
(Urban Axes/Facebook)
SOMERVILLE, Mass. (WBZ-AM) — There are all different types of themed bars in and around Boston, but Urban Axes' ax-throwing bar is the first of its kind in the area, opening Friday in Somerville. WBZ NewsRadio1030's Carl Stevens checked out the new facility.
The goal is to throw an ax at one of a dozen large targets on the wall.
"This is an indoor ax-throwing facility, intended for group events — anywhere from six people to 100 people can come and throw axes," Urban Axes co-owner Krista Paton said. "We teach everyone how to throw, get them throwing safely and comfortably, and then start a tournament where we crown an ax-throwing champion by the time you leave."
The bar, located in Union Square in Somerville, will be the very first ax-throwing bar in the Boston area. They open Friday at 5 p.m. for public walk-ins. The company is originally based in Philadelphia.

Muller Martini to demonstrate new high-speed Tempo 22 stitcher at Print '05
Wednesday, July 06, 2005
Press release from the issuing companyHauppauge, New York – Muller Martini, world leader in print finishing solutions, is setting the industry pace again with the company's new Tempo 22 saddle stitcher. Tempo 22, which will be demonstrated during Print '05 (September 9-15, 2005 in Chicago, Illinois), has a rated top speed of 22,000 cycles per hour to deliver incomparable productivity and efficiency to binding operations. "The new Tempo 22 represents Muller Martini's emphatic response to the challenge of getting net speeds as close as possible to rated speeds," says Werner Naegeli, President and CEO of Muller Martini Corp. "After its recent introduction, Tempo 22 is already proving itself to be the optimal standard in saddle stitching performance, topping 18,000 to 19,000 cycles per hour in start-up environments. Print '05 attendees can see the Tempo 22 for themselves by visiting our booth, #4018." Muller Martini's new Tempo 22 will be shown in operation on the show floor at Print '05 as a comprehensive and highly advanced stitching platform that includes a flat pile feeder, folder feeder, trimmer, Robusto stacker and several other technologies. Among the many advantages of the Tempo 22 that will be highlighted at Print '05 are the machine's versatile capabilities for in-line inkjetting and its ability to handle tip-on production. In addition to the Tempo 22, Muller Martini will also be showing its 9,000 c/hr. Presto saddle stitcher as well as the 13,000 c/hr. BravoPlus saddle stitcher. The Presto can be seen at booth #4018 and the BravoPlus at booth #4286. Complementing its amazing running speed, Tempo 22 features fast, repeatable and user-friendly makeready settings that enable operators to set up and change jobs almost instantly utilizing intuitive touchscreen controls – saving labor costs while allowing more jobs to be completed with shorter turnarounds. Furthermore, all production optimization settings on the Tempo 22 stitcher are conveniently located on the outside of the machine for timesaving on-the-fly adjustments. Tempo 22 features automated servo and AMRYS (Automatic MakeReady System) technology throughout the system for unparalleled robust performance and production efficiency. A precision servo-driven trimmer with automatic face cut control assures constant trim quality at all speeds on the Tempo 22, even when ramping up and down. Importantly, the ergonomically-designed Tempo 22 does not require operators to come in contact with moving parts, maximizing safety. The Muller Martini Tempo 22 is engineered to bring greater flexibility to post-press operations, boasting open control architecture to complement any binder controller with Profibus interface and enabling installation with nearly seamless ease. Tempo 22 is also, JDF/JMF capable using CIP4 standards for the most productive digital workflow. Other key benefits include integrated material handling and loading automation designed for reliable high-speed feeding with any product or configuration...including loose stacks, bundles and rolls. What's more, Tempo 22 is designed for growing printing and binding demands, featuring expandable capability to 40 feeders along with a wide diversity of loading options. Visitors to Print '05 are urged to stop by the Muller Martini exhibit (booth #4018, McCormick Place South Building) and see a demonstration of the new Tempo 22 and several other Muller Martini saddle stitching technologies. Experts will also be available throughout the show to discuss how Muller Martini's vast range of print finishing solutions can increase sales potential, raise productivity and build profits for printers, binding companies and graphic arts businesses throughout the marketplace. Print '05 is the world's largest exhibition of equipment, supplies and services for commercial printing, package printing and converting.

Morientes has come unstuck against the Portuguese on more than one occasion in Europe, being part of the Monaco side that lost 3-0 to Mourinho´s Porto in the 2004 Champions League final, and then again with Valencia against Chelsea in this competition last season.
However, the former Liverpool striker will be spared a similar experience on Wednesday following Mourinho´s shock departure from the Chelsea hotseat last month, saying: "It is much better that they are coming without Mourinho. Fortunately he is not there, because he is a very big personality. He does not play, but from the sidelines he is a very great character."
