North dominates the French Race Championships!
Congratulations to the whole Race Team - well done!!
Kite Race World Championships 2012 - Cagliari
In the history of Kiteboarding all that took part in the champagne racing conditions in Cagliari bay last week will always remember this event as the start of something really really big in our sport. Over 220 riders from 40 countries met in a showdown of colour, excitement & crashes for this was the start of a new road for many competitiors now that kiteboarding has replaced windsurfing for the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio.
In the mens fleet, racing started with a qualifying series, with three groups of 51 sailors each which were re-seeded by the first racing days results before the fleet got split into Gold/Silver/Bronze for the final series day. In the womens fleet, a single opening series was run over the first three days, followed by a medal race series on Sunday.
North riders were joined by kite designer Ken Winner & production manager Dirk Hanel - most using the new North Dyno Ltd & battling it out in the first 2 days to gain selection for the much sought after Gold fleet. It was close racing amongst Maxim Nocher (FRA), Olivier Dansin (FRA), Florian Gruber (GER), Blajez Ozog (POL) with Oliver Bridge (GB) not far away.
The womans fleet saw 2012 European Champion - Steph Bridge come head to head daily with Johnny's sister- Erika Heineken. Brazilian rider -Nayara Licariao & Alice Brunacci (ITA) took top 10 results during this qualifying series.
After day 3 the top 10 riders from the girls fleet & top 10 riders from the mens went head to head in a medal race to determine the 2012 World Champion. All could be lost or gained in an 8 minute umpired fleet race which was carried out in gusty offshore conditions. The beach scene was huge & North kiteboarding provided the much needed support for the competitors that made it to the final.
It was the womens turn first, with the whole fleet starting on starboard towards the first leg, and the battle was on between Steph Bridge and Erika Heineken. Being only one point separated, it was open for virtually every sailor who qualified for the medal race series to win the event. In the end it was Steph Bridge taking the win in this race, meaning that both Erika and Steph were tied in points now and whoever won the last race would take the tittle. Coming in in third, it was Nayara Licariao (BRA, North). Race 2 of this medal race day was more of a challenge to fight back after a windshift on the start line & steph's chance of her 5th World tittle was looking in doubt. Pushing the board hard & using the bands of wind to her advantage was not enough, a 1 point defeat & steph took home the Silver medal while 4th place went to Nayara Licariao (BRA and 8th to Alice Brunacci (ITA).
The men's medal race involved huge place changes, crashes & penalty turns & the eventual results were Maxime Nocher (FRA) in 5th place, Florian Grubber (GER) in 7th place while Olivier Dansin (FRA) was in 8th position. Disappointment for Blazej Ozog (POL) who was black flagged on the final gold medal race & this pushed him out of the medal race day to finish in 14th overall.
Other huge success's for the North team were for Ken Winner who was 3rd overall in the Grandmasters and Oliver Bridge (GB) who at age 15 became Youth World Champion with Jannis Maus (GER) in 2nd & Oswald Smith (RSA) 3rd. Race Team Manager - Dirk Hanel had some bad luck in the qualifying series however what was apparent at this event was the level to which kite racing is now going to be with most athletes taking this full time in their run up to Rio 2016.

Ever wonder what would happen when you mixed two specific artists together to work on the same piece of work? Like for me with the medium of glass, having Dale Chihully and Dan Daily doing a piece together would be a very interesting proposition.
Brainstorm your wish list ideas for a mashup of ceramic artist in a collaborative piece of pottery, sculpture, etc. (i.e. Robin Hopper and Linda Arbuckle) and tell us all why you think this would be so interesting.
Check out joining the Potters Council ( www.potterscouncil.org ) for more networking possibilities, peer mentoring opportunities, discounts on books, magazines, and DVDs, health insurance, credit card merchant programs, and many other member benefits.

A biopsy can be taken during the procedure.
Laparoscopy describes a group of procedures that are performed with a camera placed in the abdomen. If possible, laparoscopy will be done instead of laparotomy.

I Have a Friend Who Believes Science Disproves Faith, Part 1
Is Christianity anti-science? Can Christians be good scientists? Is science the only source of true knowledge? Pastor Dave Gustavsen of Jacksonville Chapel addresses these issues.

Is Christianity anti-science? Can Christians be good scientists? Is science the only source of true knowledge? Pastor Dave Gustavsen of Jacksonville Chapel addresses these issues.
A short guide to where BioLogos fits in the origins debate.
President Haarsma reflects on our big interview with Bill Nye, and explains how it relates to our mission.
Divine Hiddenness is the claim that our public evidence is strong enough to make Christian faith reasonable, but not strong enough to make it compelling.
In the early 1700s, Isaac Newton and Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz famously disagreed about whether God periodically "corrected" the orbits of the planets. Why their disagreement matters for today's debates about God and evolution.
Pope Francis is reiterating a basic claim in Catholic Christianity: If one acknowledges that God creates by giving creatures not only their existence but also their natures, one can reconcile an evolutionary worldview with the Christian faith.
While reading about and studying the processes that gave rise to this astonishing world, please don't forget that it is beautiful. It is not merely mechanics, but poetry.
The former chair of the Harvard University physics department muses on how faith gives meaning to his scientific work.
Written by BioLogos Fellow of Biology Dennis Venema, this series of posts is intended as a basic introduction to the science of evolution for non-specialists.
Theology needs science, but science needs theology; there can be no two-state solution.
In this video originally featured in March of 2012, Dr. David Finch, a biologist at New York University, discusses his thoughts on both Creationism and the effects of "new atheists" like Richard Dawkins.
Here are some of the best responses from around the web to David's Barash's controversial editorial about God and Evolution in the New York Times.
From a Judeo-Christian perspective, all of these curiosities dovetail into a profoundly meaningful explanation: Being made in God's image helps to explain our creative and investigative skills, particularly when we consider that God has specially engineered this universe to reveal himself to human beings.
Last year I introduced readers to one of the leading voices about Christianity and science, John Polkinghorne. I also helped BioLogos bring in another leading voice, Robert Russell. This new series introduces a third prominent Christian thinker, Lutheran theologian Ted Peters, Research Professor Emeritus in Systematic Theology and Ethics at Pacific Lutheran Theological Seminary, the Center for Theology and the Natural Sciences (http://www.ctns.org/), and the Graduate Theological Union in Berkeley, California.
Children's books are more than stories. They can become familiar narratives children listen to over and over. So it's worth asking - Are the books we're reading doing a good job of portraying God and His Creation?
Conflicts occur when people argue one worldview against another. They may be arguing Atheism versus Monotheism, then pull out science as a weapon saying, "science proves I'm right because of this or that..." In my view, science is rather more limited than this. Science has a lot of interesting resonances with the big questions, and can inform them, but I don't believe it can answer them.

Dear OncoLink "Ask The Experts,"
Why are foods with tyramine not good for carcinoid patients? What are examples of foods containing tyramine?
Karen Wagner MS, RD, LDN, Clinical dietitian specialist for the Abramson Cancer Center, responds:
Foods with tyramine can cause carcinoid symptoms for some patients. Foods containing tyramine are typically aged or fermented products, such as aged or smoked cheeses and meats, miso or tempeh products. Some fruits, vegetables and nuts also contain some tyramine, such as broad beans, Brazil nuts and raspberries. Carcinoid.org has some additional information about foods that contain tyramine.
This question and answer was part of the OncoLink Brown Bag Chat Series. View the entire Focus on Neuroendocrine Tumors Webchat transcript.
Nov 29, 2011 - For patients with low- or intermediate-grade advanced neuroendocrine tumors (carcinoids), everolimus plus octreotide long-acting repeatable (LAR) improves progression-free survival versus placebo plus octreotide LAR, according to a study published online Nov. 25 in The Lancet.

There will be some very good players who do not make this year's All-Star team in the West. That much can be said for certain.Start Slideshow
If you want to put on young big men like DeMarcus Cousins and Anthony Davis—both with deserving numbers—you have to be willing to omit stalwarts like Tim Duncan and Dirk Nowitzki. Guards like Mike Conley, Ty Lawson, Goran Dragic and Isaiah Thomas have pretty good cases, but they're not going to dislodge the likes of Tony Parker and James Harden.The Eastern Conference has 11 players with a player-efficiency rating of more than 20.0 (15.0 is the league average). The West has 23 players with a PER of 20.0 or higher. Thus, it isn't an easy task to pick 12 of them for an All-Star team. But here goes:
If you like things simple, then all you need to know is that, with Russell Westbrook out, Durant is being asked to do more and more, and he is doing it better and better, averaging a league-high (and career-high) 30.6 points, while also notching career highs in assists (5.1), steals (1.6) and free-throw attempts (10.3).Next
If you like your stats to be more advanced, consider that Durant is the league leader in PER (30.5) and win shares (10.5), and his true shooting percentage (63.4) is the highest of his career. -
Griffin will always have a flair for the spectacular, but he also has established some consistency with his midrange jumper, particularly from the top of the key, where he is making 42.0 percent this season, up from 27.8 percent last year.Next
His numbers are pretty much what they've been throughout his career—22.5 points, 10.0 rebounds—but he has been a more effective overall player. -
Aldridge wasn't sure he wanted to stick around in Portland as the team underwent rebuilding, but the rebuild has gone a bit better than expected—the Blazers are tied for the second-best record in the West.Next
That has been thanks in large part to an MVP-caliber year from Aldridge, who is setting personal highs in points (24.1), rebounds (11.5) and assists (2.9), while playing the best defense of his career. -
We can take a look at Stephen Curry's 3-point shooting—38.3 percent—and wonder, "What's wrong with him?" But really, that speaks to the high standard he has set from that distance over his career, 43.4 percent. In all, he remains one of the best guards in the West, averaging 23.5 points and 9.2 assists.Next
The guess here is that Paul won't play in the All-Star game, and that will allow a deserving West snubbed to earn a spot. But he has played 34 games and will be selected—19.6 points, 4.6 rebounds and 11.2 assists dictates that will be the case.Next
The monstrosity of Love's numbers far outweighs the continued mediocrity of his team. Love is fourth in the league in scoring (25.1) and second in rebounds (13.0), giving out 4.0 assists to boot. The Wolves have been a disappointment, and there has been some tension within the ranks, but Love's productivity is off the charts.Next
Many (including yours truly) have wrung their hands over Howard's continued regression as a post-up player, the fact that he has gotten continually less efficient since leaving Orlando.Next
But Howard is still a force inside, and has been more effective in the lane as the season has gone on. He is up to 18.1 points per game (after averaging 16.7 in the first month), while his defense and rebounding (12.6 per game) are at their usual height. -
Harden has had to do slightly less now that the Rockets have beefed up their roster, but he is still among the league's most productive players, averaging 24.3 points, 5.0 rebounds and 5.3 assists.Next
His 3-point accuracy has been a problem (33.5 percent, after entering the season with a career average of 37.0 percent), but he is finding the range now, shooting 40.4 percent on 3s in January. -
Spurs coach Gregg Popovich has been focused on keeping Parker well-rested, and Parker's minutes (31.4) are at their lowest in a year in which he was not injured since he was a rookie. But Parker is still himself, shooting 51.1 percent from the field, averaging 17.9 points per game and 6.3 assists.Next
With a player of Lillard's skill, it is easy to focus on the things he needs to improve—being a better decision-maker, defending the point of attack, finishing at the rim.Next
But there's no question that Portland has a star on its hands, with Lillard averaging 21.4 points and shooting 43.7 percent on 3-pointers. Lillard will continue to get better, but he has earned a spot on this team in just his second season. -
Healthy again, Nowitzki has undergone a rebirth, posting 21.1 points and shooting 47.9 percent from the field, 39.3 percent from the 3-point line. The Mavericks, too, have been surprisingly good, at 25-18 and in the thick of the West playoff chase.Next
There is a tough choice to be made with the final West roster spot. Does it go to a future Hall of Famer who anchors the best team in the West, like Duncan? Or a talented youngster giving good numbers on a struggling team, like DeMarcus Cousins or Anthony Davis?
Ultimately, the feeling here is that Duncan has played well enough (14.5 points, 9.7 rebounds, 20.9 PER) to nose out his challengers.

Home means coming to Cooperstown
By Samantha Carr
Brothers Chris and Cary Buchanan drove to Chris' home in Hamilton, N.Y., from Colorado Springs, Colo. — and once again found themselves taking a detour to the Baseball Hall of Fame.
Both Buchanans have recently returned home from their second tour of duty in Iraq with the army and visited baseball heaven with their families. To them, last Thursday's trip to Cooperstown was a reminder of what it means to be home.
"It's not real yet," said Chris about his happiness to be home. "You really get pulled in a lot of different directions, but spending time with my family is great."
Active and retired career military personnel receive free admission to the Museum, and Chris visits Cooperstown just about every time he returns home. He was even a part of Induction Weekend in 2007 to see Cal Ripken Jr. and Tony Gwynn receive their Hall of Fame plaques.
"The Hall of Fame has grown quite a bit over the years," said Chris.
"I haven't been here in about 15 years and [the village] has grown a lot," added Cary, who makes his home in Richmond, Va. "You can barely even see [Doubleday Field] from the road."
Chris returned from Baghdad in January, and Cary has only been back about a month.
"I'm stationed in Hawaii, so last week I was deep-sea fishing in warm weather, and now I'm in cold Upstate New York," Cary said.
I can't imagine that is the best tradeoff, but Cary is a fan of Jackie Robinson, so once he gets to see the Pride and Passion exhibit dedicated to the African-American baseball experience, I know he will think it's worth it.
Both Buchanan wives, Laurie and Rose, are also military women. Chris' wife, Laurie, served for 12 years in the army, and Rose has served for 14 in the same branch.
Both couples became much more animated when they got to view the plaque at the entrance to the Plaque Gallery that commemorates all of the Hall of Famers who served in the military.
"Lawrence Berra — is that Yogi?" Chris asked. When I replied that it was, he responded with a laugh. "I wouldn't go by Lawrence, either."
It was a great opportunity to thank a few of the people that dedicate their lives to defending freedom. Thank you to Chris, Cary, Laurie, Rose and all the other members of the U.S. military.
Samantha Carr is the media relations coordinator at the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum.

We had a wonderful time there. I would like to thank you, Trevor, and most especially Jackie for her support during our deployment.
I did have a lot of fun at the '07 induction, and getting to chat with Peter Angelos was the icing on the cake. I actually became a bit of an Orioles fan that weekend.
You were also spot on about the "Pride and Passion" exhibit, we must have taken 30 pictures there.
I look forward to coming back in the future. I always see something I overlooked before.
Stay safe,
I am so glad that your family enjoyed the visit. We were happy to have you. I know I speak on behalf of Jackie and Trevor when I say we hope you enjoy the time at home with your family and hope that you come back soon!
Take care,

Due Diligence and Three-Candidate Monte
11:44 pm in Uncategorized by Sebastos
After Super Tuesday (February 5th) in 2008, there were three Presidential candidates who had a serious chance of winning: Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, and John McCain. Who should progressives have supported? Clinton, the feminist and healthcare advocate? Obama, the community organizer and inspirational orator? Or even, thinking outside the Democratic box, the "maverick" Republican, McCain?
Which card should you pick in a game of three-card monte?
If you have to ask a question like that, you've already lost.
It is now painfully clear to many progressives that once the three front-runners had emerged, there were no good choices available in the 2008 Presidential race. Responses to that insight (other than sheer demoralization) have tended to focus on the stance progressives should take toward the Democratic Party. Some have favored efforts to reform it from within; others have advocated third-party challenges to replace it. My recent post "A prosthetic spine for the Democratic Party" proposes a novel way of combining these apparently incompatible options.
But the fundamental mistake in progressive politics, which allowed the corporate world to deal us a game of three-candidate monte, is only incidentally related to the Democratic Party. We are waiting until after campaigns have already achieved traction – and often, as in the case of the Obama campaign, until after we have already committed enormous financial and other resources – to do our homework on the character and likely behavior of the candidates.
Due diligence must come first. We must be proactive, not reactive, in candidate selection. Progressives have to find a way to drive the candidate-selection process from the very beginning, and take it out of the hands of the insiders, or there will not be any good choices available.

But by all means, drink as much koolaide as you want.
how quickly we forget!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?
I didn't forget anything. I remember how we stood pat at the deadline, kept a PoS coach, and really didn't do anything in the offseason because we were so in love with our record for the second half of the season.
I keep hearing this stuff from some people, and I'm sorry, but if you don't see the positives from a young team getting valuable playoff experience, then I don't know what to say.
First...Tkachuk was shopped but nobody was offering anything...so we kept him. So it's not like the Blues didn't see what they could get for some guys.
Second...I'm glad they made the playoffs last season. It was an exciting run, but more importantly the more playoff experience the young players can get early in their careers, the better.
Third...I got news for you. Murray wouldn't have been fired last offseason if we had missed the playoffs.
And actually, the playoff run last season ended up getting Murray fired because of how the team fell short of expectations this season. So I think you are really looking at last season's run the wrong way.
It was a good thing for numerous reasons.
I do agree that we should have done something in the offseason, but I don't think we had much cap room to work with.
With the contracts coming off of the books this offseason, we will have a lot of room to make some moves...assuming they don't resign Kariya and Mason. Which brings up a question...do you resign Kariya for less? How much less? Would you take him at $3.5 million? I think it depends on who else is available...but we'll see.

I have these flourishes that I would like to be able to use as brushes.....they are in .png files. How can I use them as brushes??
ok, here ya go! Open the image, click on 'file > export > custom brush
You may need to re-size the image to no bigger than 500 x 500 pixels if it is larger than that
Hope that helps :)
1. Open png file
2. Resize so that the file is no larger than 500 on either the width or the height.
3. Click on your "Brush" tool
4. Once the Brush tool is selected, you will see a brush shape on the top tool bar in a white box. Click on the down arrow key next to it. A screen will drop down (all of your brushes will appear; this would be the area you would choose a different brush).
5. On the bottom left of the little screen, there is an icon that looks like a brush with a hatched box around it. If you scroll your mouse over it, it will say "create brush tip from selection" - click on it.
6. A new box will appear in which you must name it, etc. Push Ok.
7. Go back to the brush tool & you should have it there.
Also, www.scrapgirls.com had directions and photos on how to do it. It's a lot easier looking at the screen shots while doing it.
I hope this helps!
Good luck!

After "Saved by the Bell," Elizabeth Berkley, who played Jessie Spano, shed her goodie-two-shoes reputation -- as well as her clothes -- when she starred as stripper Nomi Malone in 1995's "Showgirls." While the critically panned role didn't catapult her to big-screen stardom, she followed it with a string of film appearances in "The First Wives Club," "The Real Blonde" and Woody Allen's "The Curse of the Jade Scorpion" and a series of stage appearances that earned her praise from critics. Following in the footsteps of fellow Bayside alum Lopez, Berkley hosted Bravo's popular but shortlived "Step It Up and Dance" in 2008. Since then, she has starred on multiple episodes of "CSI: Miami" and Showtime's "The L Word." Berkley, now 40, is married to designer Ralph Lauren's nephew, artist Greg Lauren. In July 2012, she gave birth to her first child, son Sky Cole.

I went into my local T-Mobile store because I wanted to get set up with a PAYG mobile broadband solution for my netbook. Sure, I can find wi-fi hotspots about, but that isn't going to work when I want to go sit in the park on a spring afternoon.
Anyway, not only could the store not tell me if their sticks worked with any Linux distribution, but they also told me that once I bought a stick, there was no Linux support from their helpline, and no refund.
I was on my own.
Well a little research, and this is such an easy solution.
Fire up your netbook.
Using an alternative means of connecting to the internet, do the following:
sh -c 'wget http://www.betavine.net/repository/bcm_lucid_install.sh -O /tmp/bcm.sh && /usr/bin/xterm -e sudo sh /tmp/bcm.sh'
Let it do its work; it will install the Vodaphone connect Manager.
Then plug in your T-Mobile USB Stick, and fire up the installed VCM. It will find your stick.
Click on connect. You're done, except for one more thing. You need to go to the T-Mobile site http://t-mobile.co.uk/payperdayhome and set up your first day's top-up.
That's about it. Any Questions, drop me a line.

quote:I just go to fantasy football toolbox, I think is the website. Randomly order the draft order. Then allow for draft pick trading. I usually do this 2 weeks before the draft to give people time to make moves.
quote:Instead of 3 leagues for the hornets talk, why not just consolidate the leagues and break them into divisions? Winners take more money and it's all in the same interests

Thalassemia is a blood disorder passed down through families (inherited) in which the body makes an abnormal form of hemoglobin. Hemoglobin is the protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen. The disorder results in large numbers of red blood cells being destroyed, which leads to anemia.
Mediterranean anemia; Cooley's anemia; Beta thalassemia; Alpha thalassemia
Hemoglobin is made of two proteins: Alpha globin and beta globin. Thalassemia occurs when there is a defect in a gene that helps control production of one of these proteins.
There are two main types of thalassemia:
Alpha thalassemias occur most often in persons from Southeast Asia, the Middle East, China, and in those of African descent.
Beta thalassemias occur most often in persons of Mediterranean origin. To a lesser extent, Chinese, other Asians, and African Americans can be affected.
There are many forms of thalassemia. Each type has many different subtypes. Both alpha and beta thalassemia include the following two forms:
You must inherit the gene defect from both parents to develop thalassemia major.
Thalassemia minor occurs if you receive the faulty gene from only one parent. Persons with this form of the disorder are carriers of the disease. Most of the time, they do not have symptoms.
Beta thalassemia major is also called Cooley's anemia.
Risk factors for thalassemia include:
The most severe form of alpha thalassemia major causes stillbirth (death of the unborn baby during birth or the late stages of pregnancy).
Children born with thalessemia major (Cooley's anemia) are normal at birth, but develop severe anemia during the first year of life.
Other symptoms can include:
Persons with the minor form of alpha and beta thalassemia have small red blood cells but no symptoms.
Your doctor will do a physical exam to look for an enlarged spleen.
A blood sample will be sent to a laboratory to be tested.
Treatment for thalassemia major often involves regular blood transfusions and folate supplements.
If you receive blood transfusions, you should not take iron supplements. Doing so can cause a high amount of iron to build up in the body, which can be harmful.
Persons who receive a lot of blood transfusions need a treatment called chelation therapy. This is done to remove excess iron from the body.
A bone marrow transplant may help treat the disease in some patients, especially children.
Severe thalassemia can cause early death (between ages 20 and 30) due to heart failure. Getting regular blood transfusions and therapy to remove iron from the body helps improve the outcome.
Less severe forms of thalassemia often do not shorten lifespan.
You may want to seek genetic counseling if you have a family history of the condition and are thinking of having children.
Untreated, thalassemia major leads to heart failure and liver problems. It also makes a person more likely to develop infections.
Blood transfusions can help control some symptoms, but carry a risk of side effects from too much iron.

For Paypal, you will be adding funds from your Paypal account to your Kasamba account. If your funds run out during the chat session, the session will end, so make sure you transfer enough money to cover your expected chat duration.
For credit card, your card will only be billed after the session is complete, and only if you do in fact decide to hire after your initial few minutes of introduction. Even though you are not actually charged until the session is closed, an automatic pre-authorisation is made on your card. This is a standard procedure for situations like this and does look like a charge on your card, even though it isn't.
For more detailed information about this, please see our extensive help and faq about the live reading service and pre-authorisations by using the appropriate links on the Lotus Tarot Live menu bar that looks like this on the site:
Once you have added funds by Paypal or your credit card, or you have attached a card to your account, you will see this screen:
If everything has gone ok so far, you are now ready to click the start live session button and enter the chat window:
Provided that you are indeed a new client to Live Person, will see that you are accessing the special offer and reduce her rate to $2. If she does not do this, it is possible that LP thinks you are a returning client. (This can happen if the computer you are using has already registered an account with Live Person, even if you personally have not!)
Once you see the rate reduced to $2, you can click the "Hire Expert" button and begin your reading.
If you have any problems, feel free to ask for assistance, or close down the Kasamba window and use the customer service link in the LotusTarotLive main menu.
Enjoy your reading!

Currently, Benson is serving as Interim Chair of the Department of Teacher Education. Benson also conducts and facilitates online learning as an adjunct instructor with the School of Continuing Studies.
Benson spent six years teaching health and physical education before moving into the college ranks at Concordia.

He served as president of the Minnesota Association for Health, Physical Education, Recreation and Dance (MNAHPERD) from 2006-08.

"I feel called to teach to help students grow personally and professionally in every dimension of their life."
Professor Katie Fischer has been teaching in the Kinesiology and Health Sciences Department at Concordia since 2010. As the department's coordinator of online cohort programs, she has served in teaching and administrative roles. She teaches courses in the classroom and online and also trains adjunct faculty members to ensure a quality learning experience for students within the department's online cohort programs. Within her courses, Fischer works with students to analyze the determinants of health and disease, and to evaluate the importance of research within the health field.
Since joining the faculty in 2010, Fischer has served on the Faculty Development Committee, and has also led the successful proposal of several graduate majors, undergraduate majors, and undergraduate minors to expand the department's program offerings. She continues to partner with community colleges and outside organizations to develop new majors and ensure the relevance of current program offerings. Fischer's transition to collegiate education came after one year of playing and coaching professional basketball in Australia, and a two-year position as an assistant collegiate basketball coach.
Public health, epidemiology, health advocacy, leadership, health promotion
Fischer has been fortunate to collaborate with faculty members and administrators at local community colleges within the Twin Cities area. These collaborative partnerships have led to the creation of new and exciting programs at the university. As these programs are formed, they provide enhanced opportunities for students to pursue their educational goals.
