Associate Dean Amar on Fisher v. Texas
Posted By Vikram Amar, Dec 16, 2011
Cross-posted at the Faculty Blog. Fisher v. Texas: An Important Affirmative Action Case Pending in the Supreme Court in Which the Challengers May Have Blown It A pending case that should be of interest to all folks in higher education, and especially those of us who teach law students how to draft pleadings, is Fisher v. University of Texas. The case involves a challenge to the University of Texas's ability to use race in admissions as part of its affirmative action program, and is now before the U.S. Supreme Court. I have written two earlier online essays on various aspects of the case for Justia.com; they are viewable here and here. Whether the Supreme Court can and will take the case is turning out to be a complicated question. The plaintiff (one of two, but now the only one left) applied to UT as a freshman and was denied admission. She filed suit in federal court challenging UT's race-based admissions criteria, but at the same time enrolled in another college. In her Complaint (her request for relief), she asked for a declaration that she was entitled to have her UT application considered without regard to race, an injunction (a court order) directing UT to consider admitting her without regard to race (on the premise that she would transfer to UT), and money damages "in the form of" a refund of her admissions application fee (on the theory that her application had not been processed fairly, so that she was entitled to her money back.) She lost in the trial court, and then twice in the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals, first in front of a three-judge panel in January 2011, and then this past summer when she (unsuccessfully) asked the Fifth Circuit as a whole (en banc) to review her case. She then made a request for Supreme Court review. But here's the (or at least a) big wrinkle. Since it took a while for her case to be resolved by the Fifth Circuit, she's no longer interested in transferring to UT (she's already a senior at her college). So her claims for declaratory and injunctive relief are no longer live; in legal parlance they are moot. But what about her small monetary refund claim (around $100)? In opposing Supreme Court review last week, UT told the Court that if the Court grants review, UT will offer to refund plaintiff the $100, thereby mooting the damage claim too! So, argues UT, it would be a waste of time for the Court to grant review, only to have to dismiss the case before deciding it. A very interesting argument. There is no clear Supreme Court authority that UT cites that says a mere offer to give a plaintiff what she seeks will moot a case at a late date even if the plaintiff turns the offer down. In other words, UT cites no case that says mere "tender" by a defendant is enough to moot a damage claim late in the day. (And it is somewhat odd that UT, if it feels this way, didn't make a "tender" earlier this year when plaintiffs sought en banc review in the Fifth Circuit; the injunctive claims were moot then too, since plaintiffs were already in their junior years and would no longer be interested in transfer. Also, it is interesting that UT says it will tender if review is granted, rather than simply making the tender right now.) Nonetheless, as a matter of mootness logic, the tender argument has some force. If a defendant is willing to give the plaintiff all she currently asks for, why should a court still have the power to step in? One possible response for plaintiff would be to say she now wants to amend the Complaint to add additional damages for not having been able to attend UT (lost earnings due to a slightly inferior education, etc.). After all, she might say, the fact that she asked for an injunction shows that what she wanted all along was the value of the UT experience, and if she can no longer get that in-kind, money damages are the next best thing. All that may be true, but the district court (where such decisions must be made) has not yet permitted her to amend the Complaint to add damages in light of UT's promised tender. As the case exists before the Supreme Court (and as the Court observed in a decision two years ago, Alvarez), the Complaint is unamended and therefore arguably moot. (Maybe Alvarez is different because there the original Complaint sought no damages, whereas here it sought small but now insufficient damages. But should that make a difference?) Or perhaps plaintiff can argue that the catchall "all other relief [the] [c]ourt finds appropriate and just" language at the end of her Complaint can be read to include additional damages beyond a refund. But I don't know that such boilerplate language (that exists in virtually all complaints) can do the work. If it could, then virtually no case could ever become moot, because some, unspecified, damages are always conceivable even if they are not requested. We'll see what happens. I won't be too surprised either way the Court goes; if it wants to use this case to revisit whether race can be used in higher education admissions (which it last addressed in 2003 in cased involving the University of Michigan), it might be able to find a way. But it won't be easy. In the meantime, I hope we can all agree that plaintiffs' Complaint should have been written so as not to limit the damages to a refund, but rather to include the value of a UT education should injunctive relief not be granted. Instead of saying damages "in the form of" a refund, the Complaint should and could have said damages "including but not limited to" a refund . . . Those five words should be the first ones taught in law school.

General Motors just announced it intends to exercise its option under the GM/Delphi Master Restructuring Agreement to acquire the Delphi global steering business. The deal includes employees, facilities, products, technical capability, and intellectual property.
Delphi would be a standalone business much as it is today and, at least in the near term, will be held in a wholly owned subsidiary of GM. A diverse customer base and the ability to self-fund the operations will be essential to the business' long-term future, the company said.
GM expects the transaction to be completed in the second quarter of 2009. Terms of … Read more

There is a good reason behind this, of course--drivers can't have the distraction of a movie playing while racing along in the fast lane of the freeway, and punching in a destination on the touch screen is a dangerous diversion from the road. … Read more

It's convenient. The driver and the tour guide are very friendly.
Doing what: Toronto City Hop-on Hop-off Tour
Such a good way of viewing Toronto, great tour and you get to learn about Toronto which was quite good! Would highly recommend going and if I'm in Toronto again I'll definitely be booking it again :)
Doing what: Toronto Inner Harbour and Island Cruise
Easy to access staff professional and polite at all locations! Respect to the Toronto pass you shamed the NY version which I couldn't even activate
Doing what: Toronto CityPass
The tour was very enjoyable and visited all the major sites. The guide was knowledgeable and amusing. Good value for money. The one big 'no,no' was the bus- it was old, the upholstery was falling off the seats and paint was peeling everywhere. Grayline ought to be ashamed.
Doing what: Toronto City Hop-on Hop-off Tour
wonderful food experience with great bunch of people
Doing what: Small-Group Gourmet Dinner Tour of Toronto's Little Italy
Ability to hop on and off at preselected stops/sites was Terrific. We used our ticket several times over a 3-day period.
However, what I DID NOT appreciate is that no-one EVER mentioned the fact that the Tour, once paid for, qualified the ticket holder to a free Harbour Boat Ride. We passed the Harbour several times over several days and it was never mentioned over the speaker. In addition, the guide who met us at the Harbour stop, who knew we were from the Tour, just pointed her finger to direct us to the boat. The ticket-taker at the boat, whom I'm sure realized that as a group, we all came from the Tour, never mentioned anything either. I actually showed her my Tour receipt, and she just told me how much to pay to get on the boat. So we all had to pay. Very bad move on Viator.
Doing what: Toronto City Hop-on Hop-off Tour
Almost 4 Star! Very torn on how to rate this tour. It's great that the pass is valid for 3 days! However, I hopped on and off during all 3 days, and so much of the experience depends on the bus and the guide. One bus I got stuck on more than once had no speaker system, and the guide was using a megaphone, which could not be heard past the 3rd row of seats - Totally Unacceptable! I'm sorry I didn't complain to the company before I left town.
My only other complaint would be that it's difficult to get good pictures without doing the full loop more than once. The drivers rarely stop to give you the chance to get that "postcard quality" photo op.
Be aware this is a downtown tour of landmarks and tourist destinations; it does not go out to any of the outer areas of the city, but it's a great way to see much more of the city than you could do on foot.
Doing what: Toronto City Hop-on Hop-off Tour
This was a fantastic way to see the Harbour and Toronto Islands, We got off at Centre Island and had lunch followed by a trip around the island showing the various sights, Well worth doing. The cruise staff are all friendly especially Molly who was lovely.
Doing what: Toronto Inner Harbour and Island Cruise
Excellent guides very helpful and friendly scenery fantastic. A greAt experience

Establishment of minimum standards
Notwithstanding any other provision of law, the Secretary shall establish minimum quality standards that shall apply to grain that is deposited for storage for the account of the Commodity Credit Corporation. In establishing such standards, the Secretary shall take into consideration factors related to the ability of grain to withstand storage and assurance of acceptable end-use performance.

Free Download: Telegrama's "Jamas" & "Prisionero"
Upon first glance, the guys of Telegrama look like Ivy League types. You know, the kind of guys who are bored of summering in the Hamptons because how pass├®, right? So, they decide to backpack through Eastern Europe after freshman year and then come back all bohemian-like, except you know they still send out their laundry and canŌĆÖt prepare a meal more complex than a bowl of cereal. And this persona is exactly the one that┬ĀTelegrama is playing up in their second album, the aptly-titled Country Club.
The blue-blood style trio, formed in Caracas in 2005, is (at least aesthetically) Latin AmericaŌĆÖs Vampire Weekend. In their golf-ready khakis and pastel polos, they cleverly pair tongue-in-cheek lyricism with even cheekier pop-punk instrumentation. Telegrama declares in ŌĆ£JamasŌĆØ that they will never change, no matter how hard anyone tries to change them. And you believe them in the way you believe your teenage sister, who is going through her rebellious phase.
In ŌĆ£Prisionero,ŌĆØ which samples the Los Prisioneros anthem ŌĆ£We Are Sudamerican Rockers,ŌĆØ we encounter the familiar narrative of Creative Person becoming Boring Person when they get a haircut and a suit and the dreaded first office job. This is slightly frightening, but the storytelling makes it mostly just hilarious.
You can download "Jamas" and "Prisionero" below (watch the unnecessarily angry "Prisionero" video as well) and let Telegrama soundtrack your next trip to the tennis courts.

Leadmon decided to pursue ice dancing instead of solo figure skating three years ago, when she was 11 and Schedl approached her in search of a partner.
She was at a crossroads in her young career. She needed to either double down on some form of the sport or skate recreationally only. She decided to get serious about ice dancing and to do it with Schedl.
"It gives us a chance to do more basic skating, and it lets us play more," she said. "You can play with the music and express a lot more."
Schedl started ice dancing before he turned 10. He had spent time on the ice since he was a toddler (his dad skates, too) and decided early on that he would rather spend his time figure skating than playing hockey. He wanted to do something different than all the other boys.
"I guess I was kind of a hipster when I was 7," he said.
For both of them, ice dancing offers some respite from the fierce competition that is the world of competitive figure skating. Instead of spending hours practicing alone, they do it together.
"When you do it all alone, you're basically just out there in the middle of this big expanse of ice all alone," Schedl said. "If you have someone out there with you, it's reassuring."
That will come in handy today more than ever, he said, when nerves will be high at the national competition.
The U.S. figure skating championships are being held this week in Omaha. Leadmon and Schedl compete in their first events this afternoon.

They behaved as if everything had been decided and they were just carrying out formalities. I don't doubt that during the course of all this they reconsidered their desire to put me in jail only because of pressure from people, pressure from civil society, the media, deputies, and, I think, the international community. ... All of this has been cynically trumped-up, without any hint of the law, because they know there is no real court, and they know that the court will sign and endorse any resolution and decision they write.
These charges are not the first brought against Tymoshenko by the PGO. In Feburary, the PGO combined two separate criminal cases [JURIST report] against her and concluded the pre-trial investigation. The combined cases against Tymoshenko include charges initiated in December for allegedly misappropriating state funds during her time as prime minister from 2007-2010 and new charges in January alleging that she abused her authority and exceeded her official duties [JURIST reports] while in office by purchasing "1000 Opel Combo" medical vans at a 20 percent mark-up. Tymoshenko said the vans were successful in providing medical services to rural villages. The current combined case against her is not the first time she has been prosecuted. Last May, prosecutors reopened a separate criminal investigation [JURIST report] into allegations that Tymoshenko attempted to bribe Supreme Court judges. Tymoshenko's government was dissolved in March 2010 after she narrowly lost the presidential election to Viktor Yanukovych [official website, in Ukrainian]. Tymoshenko had alleged that widespread voter fraud allowed Yanukovych to win the election.

March 11, 2014
TUSCALOOSA, Ala. (AP) - Alabama's Nick Saban has hired Billy Napier from Colorado State as wide receivers coach.
Saban announced the hiring on Friday to replace Mike Groh, who left for the Chicago Bears.
Napier worked under then-offensive coordinator Jim McElwain as an offensive analyst for Alabama in 2011. He spent last season working for McElwain as Colorado State's assistant head coach and quarterbacks coach.
Saban says Napier was his first call after Groh left. He calls Napier "a sharp young coach" who will be an asset as a coach and recruiter.
Napier spent five seasons with Clemson and became that program's youngest coordinator in 2009 when he took over the offense at age 29.
The Tigers set a school record that season with 436 points. He was Clemson's recruiting coordinator from 2006-08.

The Autódromo Juan y Oscar Gálvez is a 45,000[1] capacity motor racing circuit in Buenos Aires, Argentina built in 1952 under president Juan Perón, named Autódromo 17 de Octubre until Perón's overthrow, as 17 October was a date of great significance to his political party.
Twenty Formula One Argentine Grand Prix races were held in the Autódromo between 1953 and 1998.
The 1000 km Buenos Aires sports car event used the Autódromo from 1954 to 1960 and from 1970 to 1972,
The Buenos Aires Grand Prix was held in the Autódromo from 1930 to 2009.
The Argentine motorcycle Grand Prix race was held in the Autódromo between 1961 and 1999.
The circuit is located in a park in the southern part of the city, and is situated on flat lands surrounded by large grandstands, giving most spectators an excellent view area of the whole circuit. Some races were run without the twisty infield section, reducing lap times significantly.
The 1000 km Buenos Aires sports car event used the Autódromo as well as sections of highway situated near the track from 1954 to 1960. The 1000 km event would return again from 1970 to 1972, but using just the Autódromo section.
The 20 Formula One Argentine Grand Prix races were held in the Autódromo between 1953 and 1998. Formula One used a number of different configurations—the No.4 circuit was used from 1954–1960, the No.9 circuit was used from 1971–1973, and the very fast No.15 layout was used from 1974–1981 which added 2 long straights and a long third corner between the two straights often taken in top gear totally flat out, which provided an exciting view for spectators, especially when the cars exited the third corner often on the brink of spinning off or crashing at 180–190 mph. Going through that section, the cars were flat out for 40 seconds. The Argentine Grand Prix was dropped from the 1982 calendar because of Argentina's invasion of the Falkland Islands and Carlos Reutemann's sudden retirement after the 1982 Brazilian Grand Prix. The twisty No.6 configuration was used from 1995–1998, but that version of the circuit was not popular with Formula One, and after the 1998 race there was no money for the race to be held and it was dropped, and has not returned since.
The 10 Argentine motorcycle Grand Prix race were held in the Autódromo between 1961 and 1999.
The Buenos Aires Grand Prix was held in the Autódromo from 1930 to 2009.
- 1952–1955: Autódromo 17 de Octubre

Career Corner >> Career Advice >> BSN or ADN for nurse anesthetist
BSN or ADN for nurse anesthetist
3 posts back to top |
Posted about 6 years ago I am looking into nursing school and possibly moving onto Nurse anesthetist from that. I already have a bachelors degree--Cell & Molecular Biology/chemistry, so would I need to go the BSN route or can I just get an ADN. I know that one of the requirements for CRNA is a bachelors, but not sure if mine would suffice? |
Account Removed -57 posts back to top |
| Posted about 6 years ago I would think many of the courses you've already taken would go towards your BSN. I know, some universities have a combined program, for those who have four year degrees, particularly in the sciences to end up with a Master's degree in Nursing. I'm not sure how it works, what the pre-requisites are, but it's worth looking into. |

| Posted about 6 years ago You have a BSN + I think 2 years of Critical Care Nursing. |

| Posted over 5 years ago You can go through an accelerated BSN or MSN program since you already have a degree,15( BSN) to 20 (MSN) months in length and will be able to sit for your RN Boards. Then you will have to get work experience in an ICU (MICU, SICU, NICU...) 1 year is required to CRNA school but the more the better. Check some of the schools in your area to see which offer Second Degree BSN or MSN program. Good Luck |

| Posted over 5 years ago You will have to go for the MSN so skip the ADN and go on for the BSN first. Some schools will have an accelerated MSN program if you already have a Bachelor's degree. Either way, you do need an MSN for nurse anesthetist. I could never be one because I cannot correctly pronounce anesthetist or anesthesia. |

| Posted over 5 years ago Actually it depends on the college/university for anesthetists where you decide to apply how many years of critical care nursing they require. Many are now requiring two years, not one. |

| Posted over 5 years ago It will depend on the requirements for the school that you're applying for. I wouldn't do the ADN, I'm pretty sure most of them will require a BSN. If you need to get the BSN first, try to get as many courses to transfer as possible. Some schools offer a special accelerated program for people who've graduated with a Bachelor's degree in anything but nursing--you can get your MSN pretty quickly (and, I think, without getting a BSN). I looked it up--it's called a Grad Entry Program: "The Graduate Entry Program provides an opportunity for students with a baccalaureate degree in a major other than nursing to earn a Master of Science in nursing. After meeting prerequisites, students complete all necessary course work leading to a master's degree in approximately three years of full-time study. Students select a specialty at the time of application to the Graduate Entry Program. After completing six quarters of full-time study, students are eligible to take the National Council Licensure Examination for Registered Nurses (NCLEX). Eligibility for certification in the specialty area will occur upon graduation." See if the schools you're considering have a program like this. Then you could skip the ADN or BSN altogether (they'd teach you the BSN stuff in the first part of your program). |

| Posted over 5 years ago It may depend on the school you are planning on attending. Although the bachelors is in a great subject- the school may still require that it be in nursing. I would look around at the different schools that offer that and find out if they would accept adn w/previous bachelors or if you need to get your bachelor for RN. |

| Posted over 5 years ago Hi MellyMom, Check out aana.com. It is a great website with A LOT of info. about becoming a CRNA. Also, there are many other blogs on this wonderful website about CRNAs. Just type in CRNA or nurse anesthetist in the search box in the forum section, and you should get a few hits. Best wishes! |

Beauty blunders happen to the best of us. Even the grooming gurus are subject to a little blooper now and then, from a scent that's more fume than perfume to a nicked mani right after they leave the salon to a stripy self-tan. Here are ten quick solutions to ensure you never have to worry again when getting dashing turns into a disaster.
I scored this tip from a nail tech. Wet the pad of your finger with nail polish remover. Then smudge it onto the ding to smooth it out. It seems counterintuitive, but this softens the polish and evens it out. And there is no need to apply another coat.
Does your self-tan look more like Morris the Cat than mega-hot Bond girl? Rub on the product again, over the initial application, preferably with a self-tanner towelette. Wait ten hours for the glow to develop and all stripes should disappear. Want it gone altogether? Anne Fritz has seven ways to remove self-tanner.
Fix a sloppy cat-eye stat with microbrushes. Tip: They're also ideal for removing makeup when you're wearing eyelash extensions because they don't leave Q-tip fuzzies behind.
When creating a smoky eye, always start by dusting loose powder underneath your lower lash line. You can then easily brush away any dark pigment that falls into the area. If you didn't start out with a powder base, wet a Q-Tip with a bit of eye makeup remover to correct any mistakes.
Simply apply a bit of fragrance-free lotion on the offensive spot to temper the strong scent. Your neighbors will thank you.
So you went a little overboard? Wet a makeup sponge and rub it over your skin to break it up.
This one's a three-step process. Prime, apply concealer, then finish with a sweep of powder to lock it into place. Powder helps the makeup adhere to the skin longer and will counteract any sweating, which can cause makeup to melt right off. Because of the extra powder, your makeup will feel a bit heavier. Unfortunately, there's no way to avoid this, but remember loose powders are lightest.
When you grease up your hair with too much serum and there's no time to wash it off, thoroughly douse it with dry shampoo at the roots to sop up the excess. It'll give your formerly slick locks a more arid texture.
How did it happen? Probably because you and the model on the box don't have the same natural hair color. A better color guide is the one that's usually provided on the back of the carton. It shows how your hair color will look after dyeing. If you're past the point of no return and the dye is on, your best bet is to go to a professional. At-home dye rarely fixes another at-home job.
Just popped a zit and feel like you need a tourniquet? Here's how to stop the bleeding. Apply firm pressure and use a cold compress or an ice cube wrapped in tissue to quell any swell. And next time, don't pick! What beauty blunders have you encountered?
I couldn't say this about neon green eye shadow or Alexander McQueen's armadillo heels, but I can say it about red lipstick: Absolutely anyone can wear it. It's the little black dress of your makeup bag, a timeless classic that never goes out of style. Here's how to get it right.
The key to wearing red lipstick is finding the best shade to complement your complexion. People with warm undertones — golden-toned skin, hazel or brown eyes, golden or reddish-toned hair and paler skin — look great in wine or true reds. If you have cool undertones — rosy skin, and blue, green or hazel eyes — try a blue red or a pinkish red and avoid orangey reds. With fair skin and dark hair, deep cherry reds flatter you. If you're olive skinned, look for brown-reds, fire-engine reds, or mahogany reds. Dark skin looks great with deep reds. Medium-to-dark skinned women look great in warmer, deeper reds with brown bases. If you have very dark skin, orange-based reds, fuschsias, magentas, and pinkish-reds were made for you.
Next, decide whether you want to go glossy or matte. A glossy, moist lip can feel more youthful, while matte has more staying power but can dry out more quickly. If you go matte, be sure to moisturize beforehand.
Because red lipstick is such a bold statement, it looks best on a clean face with minimal makeup. Before you go any further, you need to scrub up — both your face and, yes, your lips. After you wash your face, apply a lip scrub or exfoliator. If you don't have one, gently rub your lips with a wet washcloth.
Now apply a lightweight balm or a lip primer — dab on a small amount of petroleum jelly if you don't have primer or balm. Your lipstick will go on more smoothly and you'll minimize the potential for color bleeding. Your lips shouldn't be slippery or overly glossed, but they should be smooth and well hydrated.
Using a lip liner isn't necessary. But if your lips are thinner, you can use a neutral liner or a liner that matches your lip color to help fill out your lips.
This brings us to one of the most important tools you need in your makeup bag to help get red lipstick right: a lip brush. You'll have more control over your application and volume. Brush a few strokes against the lipstick, and then apply to your lips.
If you're not in love with your look, don't be afraid to blend. If your red lips are too dark, try toning it down with a lighter lipstick. If they're too light, gently apply a slightly darker color. Mix and match colors until you create a radiant red that feels completely "you."
I spent most of my wedding barefoot. And not because I'm a hippie or I got married in a daisy-strewn field. No, it was because my feet were killing me.
I did manage to make it down the aisle, take pictures and even do our first dance in the silver d'Orsay pumps I'd salivated over for months. But I had to kick them off shortly thereafter because, after wearing heels to my rehearsal dinner the night before, my tootsies couldn't take another night of walking around on tiptoes. My poor feet felt the same way my arms and thighs did after an overambitious session of swinging kettlebells. They were tired, stiff and sore.
It turns out, wearing high heels does give the muscles of the front of the feet quite a workout. And not in a good way.
"The densest part of your foot is your heel; that's what is designed to bear most of your body weight," explains Katy Bowman, biomechanist and author of Every Woman's Guide to Foot Pain Relief. High heels pitch your body weight forward, forcing the more delicate bones and connective tissue of the front of the feet to do all the heavy lifting. Not only does that leave feet sore, it also contributes to a host of unpleasant issues, including bunions, plantar fasciitis, hammertoes and even arthritis in the hips and knees. "Studies in leading scientific journals show that the effects of footwear begin with painful and deformed feet, but can migrate north, creating alignment changes to the skeleton."
Way to be a downer, Katy Bowman! But she's not the only messenger of high-heel peril. Your aching feet are telling the same story, just using a different means. You may not want to give up high-heeled shoes entirely, but you can counteract their harmful effects with a few easy stretches. Aim for 5 minutes of stretching for every hour spent on your feet while wearing heels. "Doing these stretches after every time you wear heels undoes a lot of the otherwise permanent damage," says Bowman. I'll click my heels to that.
Sit or stand while rolling one foot at a time over a frozen bottle of water. The rolling stretches the muscles, ligaments and connective tissue of the feet, which get tight in the typically narrow foot beds and toe boxes of high heels. The ice reduces swelling, inflammation and pain.
The muscles in between your toes can get squished and tight when you wear heels, resulting in tension as well as potential nerve dysfunction and related pain. To stretch them, sit with your feet on an ottoman. Then separate your toes until you can see slivers of the stool between each little piggy. You can use your fingers if you can't get the toes to move apart from each other on their own free will. Or, use some foam toe spacers. You can also purchase toe alignment socks at my-happyfeet.com, and wear them while watching TV or sleeping. For the biggest stretch, slide one finger between each toe and hold hands with your feet, maneuvering your fingers all the way down to the webbing between each toe.
"Your toes are designed to spread apart and move independently, just as your fingers are," Bowman says. Even if your toes won't budge on their own, keep trying to use the muscles of your feet to spread before you do it with your hands or your toe spacers. You will see dramatic improvement over time. "Spreading your toes regularly increases strength and flexibility in the feet, as well as circulation and nerve health," Bowman adds.
Research shows that long-term use of high heels decreases the length of a woman's calf muscles by 13 percent. Why should you care? "Short calf muscles change your gait, which then overloads your joints, and can contribute to osteoarthritis in the knee and hip," Bowman says. On top of that, all that decreased muscle length contributes to a lower metabolism, she adds. To counteract that shortening, roll up a bath towel and place it on the floor. Place the ball and toes of the right foot on the towel, keeping the right heel and entire left foot on the floor. Stay for 1 to 2 minutes, then switch feet.
If your shoes didn't cover the backs of your heels, your toes had to grip with each step to keep the shoe from flying off your foot. Release those clenching muscles by standing, shifting your weight on to your left foot, and moving your right foot about 12 inches behind you. Point your right foot and place the tops of the toes on the floor. You should feel a stretch along the tops of the toes and the front of the foot. Stay as long as you can (cramping is normal at first), then switch feet. "Work up to holding the tucked position for a minute, repeating on each foot two to three times daily," says Bowman.

We enjoyed our stay at this hostel very much. It is rather centrally located in a quiet neighbourhood. The owner was also very friendly. It is a very small hostel and you can meet the owner only sometimes at the hostel. This means that you have to contact him by phone to arrange the check-in and check-out and you can't leave your luggage at the hostel on the day of your check-out. The room was clean, great communal kitchen. Unfortunately the wifi signal was very weak all the time.

TURBOTVILLE - Samantha Kern, a junior at Warrior Run High School, received a "Who Me? A School Librarian?" award during the awards breakfast of the 39th Pennsylvania School Librarians Association conference held April 12 to 14 in Hershey.
Kern was one of two winners throughout Pennsylvania in the PSLA essay contest "Who Me? A School Librarian?" where she addressed: "The best thing about my school library is ..." and "The one thing I would change about my school library is ...".
Her prize was the opportunity to attend the conference with PSLA picking up registration and accommodation fees. She was accompanied to Hershey by Jessica Oberlin, Warrior Run High School librarian. Susan Hefley, librarian for the Moniteau School District, presented certificates to Kern.
"I was surprised that I got the award out of all students who entered. I wanted to enter the contest because I have an interest in becoming a librarian in the future," Kern said.
Kern, the daughter of Christopher Kern and Kay Kern, attended workshops and general sessions, the conference banquet, the presidential reception and also networked with many professionals in the field that she hopes to enter in the future.
"I attended a session about using iPads in schools and also a session about new and upcoming young adult books. I loved hearing about new books I'd like to read,' Kern said. "It was fun, interactive and I even received many free books. I also benefited from the fact that there were college representatives whom I could speak with. It gave me a good start on researching for my career."
The keynote speaker for the conference was Pam Berger, who spoke on the topic, "Embracing the Future: Literacy, Inquiry and Technology."

Federal Funding Opportunity Now Available for EDA's University Center Economic Development Program
EDA is pleased to announce the solicitation of applications for the FY 2009 University Center Economic Development Program competition, to take place in EDA's Atlanta and Seattle regional offices. A notice was published today in the Federal Register (74 FR 7856). EDA is soliciting applications from accredited institutions of higher education and from consortia of accredited institutions of higher education in the geographic areas served by its Atlanta and Seattle regional offices. The deadline for receipt of applications is April 21, 2009 at 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time for EDA's Atlanta regional office and 5:00 p.m. Pacific Time for EDA's Seattle regional office. All other information and requirements for the FY 2009 University Center Economic Development Program competition may be found in the February 20, 2009 Federal Register notice (74 FR 7856) and the companion federal funding opportunity announcement on EDA's website at www.eda.gov/InvestmentsGrants/FFON.xml.
It's Academic: The Rewards of Higher Education in Economic Development
Colleges and universities have long served as incubators for science, technology and business innovation. But in times of economic challenge, higher education institutions often serve as drivers of community development. The partnership between the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (UIUC) and the cities of Urbana and Champaign has resulted in significant economic benefits and serves as a model for how university representatives and economic development practitioners can work together.
In the late 1990s, the city of Champaign started making significant investments in Campustown, a neighborhood adjacent to the university. These investments focused on infrastructure enhancements (related to flooding issues) and improving the streetscape, an effort which was partially funded by UIUC. This initial $8 million investment has spurred private sector investment, resulting in more retail, restaurants, apartments and a new grocery store. Additionally, Campustown has become a more pedestrian-oriented and urban environment, providing a preferred location to both national chains and local start-ups, with easy access to the approximately 25,000 students that live within five blocks.
Campustown isn't the only place in Champaign that is experiencing revitalization. Downtown, while not immediately adjacent to the UIUC but still close to campus and Campustown, is also experiencing redevelopment. In fact, according to city planners, approximately $3.5 million in tax increment financing funds have been invested in downtown since 1994 — and that has yielded a return on investment of $35 million. Students also seem to be spending more time — and more money — downtown, which has increased revenue from sales tax.
The revitalization has benefited from the collaborative approach between the University, city officials, local business and property owners, as well as students. Representatives from each of these entities sit on the University District Advisory Board, which oversees the implementation of the University District Action Plan. This plan leverages key community leaders to address vital community development issues ranging from land use and urban design to safety, transportation, parking, infrastructure and aesthetics.
The university has also been an important partner to the city of Urbana, just east of Champaign. A public-private partnership between Urbana, UIUC and a private developer has led to the development of Gregory Place West and Gregory Place East. These two mixed-use developments have added to the vibrancy of the east part of campus, and helped to replace some of the residential and commercial uses lost over time. The Krannert Center District, which is a new business group, is also working to help develop a neighborhood of arts, entertainment and dining to encourage more students and residents to spend time on the east side of campus.
City planners from both Champaign and Urbana report that while they are not immune to the downturns in the economy, the presence of the university has helped create a local economy that is more resilient. Ongoing partnerships with the university have also helped create important economic development opportunities.
Learning from this example, policy leaders and economic practitioners should look to these enterprises when visioning and implementing their communities' short- and long-term development strategies. The higher education collaborative, like public-private partnerships, leverages multiple sources of investment and reinforces the commitment of a varied group of community stakeholders. The UIUC story teaches us the following important lessons:
While not every region or community has a higher educational institution located nearby, the UIUC experience suggests that effective partnerships can often involve less traditional economic development partners. These partnerships ultimately help strengthen a community's resiliency in times of economic downturn and pay dividends in creating places of lasting value.
Universities and Entrepreneurial Impact
When we think of the economic development role of universities, we often think of technology transfer or the effects of local real estate development. A new study of the economic impact of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) details another important and often overlooked role for universities — as an incubator of innovation and entrepreneurship. The study reports on a survey of MIT alumni and their subsequent careers as entrepreneurs. The results are pretty astounding. At present, MIT alumni have founded 25,800 active companies that employ 3.3 million people and generate annual revenue of $2 trillion. If organized as a single economy, this alumni group would represent the 17th largest economy in the world.
MIT has always spawned a lot of entrepreneurs, but, in recent years, alumni have been even more entrepreneurial — starting businesses at faster rates and at a younger age. This shift is partly the result of MIT's growing emphasis on entrepreneurship. In recent years, it has developed a number of programs, such as alumni mentoring network and a major student business plan competition. These efforts have helped build a stronger entrepreneurial ecosystem in Massachusetts and within the wider national and global MIT alumni network. The report concludes with a number of concrete suggestions on how other universities can also nurture a stronger, and more effective, regional entrepreneur support system.

Living with a chronic condition such as multiple sclerosis can place you on a roller coaster of emotions. Here are some suggestions to help you cope:
If multiple sclerosis impairs your ability to do things you enjoy, talk with your doctor about possible ways to get around the obstacles.
Remember that your physical health can affect your mental health. A counselor or therapist may help you put things in perspective, as well as teach you coping skills and relaxation techniques that may be helpful.
Sometimes, joining a support group, where you can share experiences and feelings with other people who have similar concerns, is a good approach. Ask your doctor what support groups are available in your community.

I actually really liked the name Jessamy when I saw it in our baby name book. I wrote it down and kept it in mind for a possible middle name.

Maybe we are working backwards here... do you have a list that he LIKES?
June 30th, 2013 12:40 AM #19
Haniah is beautiful! At first I thought he was put off because it ended with "h" but then I read that he didn't like it starting with "h". Uhm, what's wrong with H names?? But I really instantly thought that if you liked it so much and his only problem is that it starts with H is drop the H? Aniah? I think that's really neat still, unique, and a spin off of a classic name. Pitch that one to him.

Born in Niigata prefecture and educated in Taiwan, Joichi Hoshi returned to Japan after World War II where he studied oil painting. He has been exhibited at the Sao Paulo and Tokyo Print Biennials. Strongly attracted to elements of nature, the artist's earlier prints depict stars and constellations, but by the 1970's, he focused on the subject of trees -- the image for which he is best known.
