These seem to be working wonders for both my dog & myself. My 14yr old dogs had a HUGE growth/tumor on his right hip. The size of the hard baseball. I started to use these tablets & also Gaia Herbs, Hoxsey Red Clover tinture & I do believe it's the combo that has helped shrink the tumor to half its size. I also was feeling some pain near my rt breast. I too started taking these & I have to say I am no longer feeling this pain.

I love this product I just wrong a long comment but it disappeared on my computer. So to make short now. I use it on an empty stomach one hour before my next meal and I take for 5 days straight then I take weekends off then on again. I use it because I have Fibroid s, it also helped my digestive system work properly. I highly recommend it, I seem to have a better complexion.

I've had pain of fibromyalgia for almost twenty years, and have tried many supplements and natural remedies. Other than pain meds and massage, nothing ever seems to help. I've been using this product for three weeks and have had many days of lessened pain, so I'm going to continue using it. I'm taking two tablets at every meal.

Library Board Athenaeum Subcommittee September 29, 2008 Meeting Summary |
Library Board Members Patricia Izek, President Therese VanBlarcom, Vice President John Pacheco, Secretary John Gibbs Holly Guncheon Roger Hale Jill Joseph Claudia Kelly Kathleen Lamb David Pratt Cynthia Steinke Interim Library Director Lois Langer Thompson |
Members present: Library
Board members Chair David Pratt, Cynthia Steinke, Kathleen Lamb; Athenaeum
Board members Pierce McNally, Sue Mackert; Interim Library Director Lois Langer
Thompson Library staff: Sharon
Charles and Marilyn Zastrow Welcome and Update – Committee Chair David Pratt Mr. Pratt
welcomed attendees and provided an update. He described the Athenaeum lease
which has expired. The Athenaeum and Hennepin County Library (HCL) would like
to explore collaborations with open communication and continue to build a
relationship that benefits both organizations. "Ideas for Hennepin County
Library and Athenaeum Relationship" dated Sept. 2008 was the meeting agenda. Enhanced Access and Outreach The
committee addressed the Athenaeum vault which is 80% full and options for
greater access. Mr. Pratt expressed concern for the collection and suggested
security cameras. Sue Mackert said
volunteers take responsibility for securing the collection when stakeholders
want access to it; people are respectful of the collection. She would like to
establish a policy and procedure for securing the collection when books are
brought out of the library for public viewing or display. Ms. Mackert praised
security staff and noted the Athenaeum is in a locked area. The Athenaeum collection is presently insured
under the blanket of HCL. Increased Visibility and Marketing Pierce
McNally asked how the Athenaeum fits into HCL's mission and what strategies the
library plans to use to promote the Athenaeum; the plan needs to provide
experiences for people to see a collection of 6000 books. He also expressed a need for a detailed
proposal that includes overhead and all related costs. He clarified the Athenaeum
is responsible for book preservation and exhibition as a 501(c) 3 organization
and feels these issues need to be spelled out clearly. Mr. Pratt said the
Library Foundation of Hennepin County and The Friends of the Minneapolis Public
Library are in the process of merging by the end of the year with Stu Wilson as
the new Executive Director. This brings the best of both organizations together
and could positively impact the visibility and marketing of the Athenaeum. The
display and/or sale of prints in the bookstore would also promote the
Athenaeum. Programming and Exhibits Ms. Thompson
noted the Athenaeum is considered a jewel that makes the Library special. HCL
is looking at staffing concerns regarding the Athenaeum as HCL faces budget
concerns. Ms. Mackert said the Athenaeum may extend hours for exhibitions
within library hours and be staffed with volunteers; library volunteers would
be welcome. Management/Overhead Mr. McNally
reiterated his major concerns for the Athenaeum in relation to HCL, they are: 1)
Long-term mission - strategy for Athenaeum within HCL; 2) Financial consideration;
and 3) Authority of Athenaeum over collection - accessibility/jurisdiction. Ms.
Mackert and Mr. McNally said the Athenaeum's focus is "plan A" with HCL. They
will pursue "plan B" if there is no fit, going their separate way to explore other
options. The Athenaeum has a tremendous future and raised $1 million for the
capital campaign for their future with Minneapolis Public Library. They want a
visible future. Mr. McNally said specifics for the mission are: staff (librarian),
space, insurance, goals, accessible for public, create excitement, exhibitions,
financial component. Having provided the major concerns from the Athenaeum, Mr.
Pratt said HCL would also identify their concerns. Next steps A draft memo of understanding will be developed
by Ms. Thompson, Sharon Charles and Mr. Pratt within approximately three weeks and
they will meet Oct. 22, |

Another large search Saturday for missing 13-year-old Dylan Redwine failed to find the boy or any new clues.
More than 260 volunteers joined law enforcement in the search on Saturday in La Plata County, working in small groups.
Saturday's search focused on several miles on either side of La Plata County Road 240, also known as Florida Road. The road is a common route between Durango and Vallecito, where Dylan was last seen.
Dylan had been staying with his father, Mark Redwine, in Vallecito near Bayfield as part of a court-ordered Thanksgiving holiday visit. Mark Redwine, who lives about 22 miles north of Durango, told investigators that he left the home to run some errands and when he returned four hours later, he said, Dylan was gone.
Investigators said in a news release from La Plata County Sheriff's office, that it wasn't a tip that led them to the search area, just an urgency to cover more ground before snow fell.
Dozens of items were flagged by searchers. Of those, 10 were collected by investigators "for future reference," according to the news release.
The release also conveyed thanks from the Redwine family to all who helped in the search.
Anyone who may have information on Dylan's whereabouts are asked to contact La Plata County Sheriff's Office Investigator Dan Patterson at 970-382-7015 or Tom Cowing at 970-382-7045.
A local tipline has also been set up at 970-382-7511.
Crime stoppers and the National Center for Missing Children are also taking calls on any available related information.

The 2013 West Region of the NCAA Tournament was full of shocks. To start things off #13 LaSalle and #12 Ole Miss upset the 4 and 5 seeds Kansas State and Wisconsin respectively. LaSalle ended up making it to the first game of the West Regional's where they fell to the #9 seed Wichita State. In the Elite 8 Wichita State lived up to the name and shocked Ohio State advancing to the Final Four. The 2014 West Regional will stay in California but head Southeast to Anaheim's Honda Center. Get an early jump on West Regional tickets and live the madness in March 2014!
The Florida Gulf Coast Eagles took over the headlines in the South portion of the NCAA Tournament as they became the first #15 seed ever to advance to the Sweet 16 where they ended up losing to the tournament favorite Florida Gators. The Gators found themselves up against the Wolverines who also made history when they beat Florida to advance to the Final Four for the first time since the Fab Five. The FedEx Forum is next on the docket for the South Regional as 2014 Sweet 16 sends the South teams to Nashville, Tennessee.
The 2013 Midwest Region of the NCAA Tournament went according to plan as #1 Louisville and #2 Duke ended up in the Elite 8. Although #12 Oregon was able to mix up the bracket by beating the #4 and #5 seeds advancing to the Sweet 16, Louisville proved to be the team to beat throughout the tournament. Louisville was able to dominate the competition all season long topping it off with a National Title. Indianapolis will remain home to the Midwest Regional for years to come as the Lucas Oil Stadium is set to play host in 2014 and years to follow.
The 2013 seeding of the East Region seemed to be right on point as the top 4 teams were all able to advance to the Sweet 16. It was the bottom of the bracket that continued to produce as #3 Marquette and #4 Syracuse knocked off the top two seeds Indiana and Miami. Syracuse's zone defense remained a heavy obstacle for opponents up until the Wolverines found the key to unlocking it in the Final Four. The 2014 East Regional of the NCAA Tournament will leave our nations capital and head to New York's Madison Square Garden.

Jefferson School of Population Health
Greater Philadelphia Schweitzer Fellows Program
Prior to Applying
Required Activities
Information Sessions
The Greater Philadelphia Schweitzer Fellows Program® (GPSFP) is a one-year interdisciplinary, mentored fellowship program focused on health-related community service and leadership development.
Established in September 2007, the GPSFP is steadily building its presence in the Greater Philadelphia area. Under the leadership of David B. Nash, MD, MBA and colleagues at the Jefferson School of Population Health of Thomas Jefferson University, the Greater Philadelphia Schweitzer Fellows Program serves populations in Delaware, Southeastern Pennsylvania, and Southern New Jersey.
In addition to the four overall goals of the U.S. Schweitzer Fellows Program®, the Greater Philadelphia Schweitzer Fellows Program strengthens Fellows' resolve to provide health service to underserved populations by facilitating opportunities for students to:
- Use their skills and knowledge in real-life situations
- Become culturally sensitive and compassionate caregivers
- Understand the impact of poverty as a social determinant of health
- Experience the personal satisfaction of helping to improve the health status of individuals and communities as well as contributing to social change
- Work collaboratively and across disciplines in pursuit of a common goal
- Learn how to exercise leadership skills to work with and influence CBOs, community leaders, and academic institutions to embrace holistic, service-oriented approaches to health
Upon successful completion of the initial Fellowship year, Fellows have the opportunity to participate in an alumni network of Fellows for Life – an interdisciplinary pipeline of emerging professionals who are dedicated and skilled in meeting the health needs of underserved communities.
Defining Health
Schweitzer Fellows focus on health as defined by the World Health Organization (WHO): a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity. Rooted in this holistic understanding of health, Schweitzer projects address not only clinical health issues, but also the social determinants of health—defined by the WHO as the conditions in which people are born, grow, live, work and age, and which are mostly responsible for health inequities.
Students enrolled in graduate or professional degree-granting programs from any accredited academic institution in the geographic area may apply. While the applicant's field of study does not have to be traditionally health-related, his/her proposed service project must focus on health and/or the social determinants of health. Past Fellows have addressed health from a wide variety of perspectives and disciplines including, but not limited to, medicine, nursing, dentistry, social work, public health, pharmacy, education, engineering, music, and law. Applicants must be enrolled as students from April 2011-May 2012. If an applicant is scheduled to graduate before May 2012, he/she must remain in the area and continue to participate in all Fellowship activities until the end of the Fellowship year.
Prior to Applying
Prospective Fellows should be prepared to partner with a local community agency and design a community service project that seeks to provide direct service to an underserved population. This project should focus on addressing health and/or the social determinants of health in the population served.
The project should:
- Provide a direct service that meets a community-defined need and reflects national and local health priorities. Prospective applicants should investigate and reflect on unmet local health-related needs, and think through the ways in which their own energies and talents might contribute, even in small ways, to ameliorating one or more of these problems. Applicants are encouraged to communicate with potential community partners prior to submitting their applications and to be specific in their proposals about their relationships with their community partners.
- Be of an enduring value to the community/agency served. The project proposal should include a brief discussion about sustainability of the project at the end of the Fellowship year.
Applicants are encouraged to identify one or more potential academic mentors at their schools and a site mentor at the agencies where they propose to conduct their projects.
Applicants should be creative in developing their proposal. They may choose to develop a totally unique project in keeping with Dr. Schweitzer's directive that everyone should find their own Lambaréné — their own special place to serve, and way of serving. Alternatively, applicants may find inspiration by reviewing past Fellows' projects and partnering agencies.
Applicants should keep in mind that they may expand upon a past Schweitzer project, but should not simply duplicate or continue one that has been carried out previously. Research, fund raising, and policy-based projects are not considered eligible for a Schweitzer Fellowship. Applicants should contact the Program Director if they would like to request assistance in identifying a project and/or a project site.
Required Activities of Fellows
Orientation Retreat: Fellows must attend an orientation retreat on April 6, 2011.
Service Project: Working in collaboration with a local community agency, each Fellow must design and carry out a service project of at least 200 hours that addresses an unmet community health need. Each Fellow will work under the supervision of a Site Mentor from the participating agency and an Academic Mentor of the student's choice. The Program Director is available to provide support and guidance throughout the Fellowship year.
The 200 hours must be conducted separately from any school course requirement. Monthly meetings and other Fellowship programming/reports are not part of the required 200 hours. More than half of the 200 hours must be spent in direct, face-to-face contact with the population being served. These direct service hours do not include administrative duties, research, or needs assessments. In designing a project, applicants should carefully consider the issues of evaluation and sustainability and include their ideas for addressing these aspects of the project.
Reports: Fellows are required to submit monthly reports about their activities and a comprehensive written final report to their Program Director, Academic Mentor, and Site Mentor.
Evaluation: Fellows are required to complete a pre- and post- survey for the Fellowship. Each Fellow's Site Mentor also must complete a final site mentor survey. These surveys are in addition to each Fellow's evaluation plan for his/her individual project.
Monthly Meetings: Fellows are required to attend all monthly meetings. Monthly meetings provide the Fellows with leadership development, skills-based workshops, interdisciplinary discussions, time for reflection on community service, and an opportunity to network with professionals in areas of interest to them. Greater Philadelphia monthly meeting are generally the first Wednesday of each month.
Public Outreach: Fellows work together in groups to organize one or more public outreach activities that may take the form of public symposia and/or group service activities.
Recruitment: In the fall of each year, Fellows work with the Program Director to organize information sessions about the Schweitzer Fellows Program and present information at their schools about their Fellowship experiences.
Stipend: Fellows receive a stipend of $2,000 distributed in three payments throughout the Fellowship year as specific program objectives are completed. The stipend may be used in any way the Fellow wishes, including project related costs and personal expenses. As funding is limited, The Albert Schweitzer Fellowship is unable to provide any additional financial support beyond the stipend.
Celebration of Service: Fellows are required to attend a Celebration of Service in their honor on May 17, 2012. Fellows are responsible for providing a poster which reflects the service work they conducted over the fellowship year. During the ceremony Fellows must also give an oral report about their fellowship year and their plans for service in the future.

Jay Mohr was born on August 23, 1970, in Verona, New Jersey. He performed his first stand-up gig when he was 16 years old and in 1993 landed a coveted spot on Saturday Night Live. After SNL, Mohr appeared in Cameron Crowe's Jerry Maguire, was host and part-owner of the reality television show Last Comic Standing and starred in his own sitcom, Gary Unmarried. Mohr is married to actress Nikki Cox.
Early Life
Actor and comedian. Born Jon Ferguson Mohr on August 23, 1970, in Verona, New Jersey. Determined from a young age to become a comedian, Mohr performed his first stand-up gig in West Orange, New Jersey, when he was 16 years old and immediately became hooked on performing. Mohr worked the circuit of comedy clubs, bars and college campuses for several years while making his name as a comic.
Career Highlights
In 1993, Jay Mohr landed a coveted spot on the famed sketch comedy show Saturday Night Live, joining other up-and-coming comics like Chris Farley and Adam Sandler to form something of a youth movement on the show. Mohr's impressions of celebrities like Christopher Walken were a hit with audiences. The intense competition for airtime on the show, however, proved to be personally disastrous. Mohr began having panic attacks - sometimes on live television - that eventually required medication. "I realized that I am all right," Mohr later said. "This place, however, was dysfunctional." In 2004, Mohr published a memoir called Gasping for Airtime: Two Years in the Trenches of Saturday Night Live, in which he described his troubled stint on the show in painful detail.
Mohr left Saturday Night Live in 1995 and soon after was cast in a scene-stealing role as Bob Sugar, a slimy, ruthless sports agent in Cameron Crowe's popular movie Jerry Maguire. Over the next several years, Mohr appeared in a wide variety of movies and television shows—200 Cigarettes, Pay It Forward, Scrubs and The Jeff Foxworthy Show, to name a few - while continuing to entertain live audiences as a stand-up comedian.
Personal Life
Mohr was married to model and actress Nicole Chamberlain from 1998 to 2004. The marriage produced one son, Jackson. After Mohr and Chamberlain parted ways, Mohr met his second wife, actress Nikki Cox, when he guest-starred on her television show Las Vegas. The couple married in December 2006 and Mohr legally added her surname to his own, becoming Jon Ferguson Cox Mohr. His domestic life forced him to change his comedy act. "When I first got into comedy it was to get girls and get drunk. Get laid or fight," Mohr said. "Then I got sober and I got married and I don't want to fight anybody. So that act had to go away and I had to talk about me."

Cedar Rapids Weather
Uthoff Expects To Make Impact With Hawkeyes In 2013-14By Scott Dochterman, Reporter
IOWA CITY, Iowa — Jarrod Uthoff often watched his teammates on television and wondered how he could have helped his team win.
Iowa's close road losses this year bit at him nearly as much as for those who endured it on the court. Uthoff, now a 6-foot-10 red-shirt freshman, couldn't travel with the team and watched those games either alone or with his family. Uthoff never said he could outperform another Iowa player. He's too team-oriented for that. But he wondered if he could have helped in one small way to win even one of those games. "It's very frustrating, getting so mad at the TV every time," Uthoff said. "It's very tough … just that we lost the game. We had it. Then all the sudden it turns around. It looks like we're going to win the game and it's tough to watch." The emotions that gripped Uthoff this year will dissipate in perspiration. After sitting out this season as a restricted athlete, Uthoff will play forward the next three years for Iowa and Coach Fran McCaffery expects him to "be an impact player next year." "The thing I like about (Uthoff) is," McCaffery said, "you can play him as a long, shot-blocking post player or you can play him on the perimeter and the guy who can put it on the deck, hit a pull-up jumper, hit his 3 and make a play for someone else off the dribble. "When you put that skill set together, you have a very impressive player. I think with the other players we have, it's something we desperately need." When you ask Iowa's coaches and players about Uthoff, they rave about his versatility. Uthoff handles the ball effectively and is an inside-outside player with a consistent jump shot. Any one of those skill sets would help him fit in next year. All of them elevate him to a match-up disadvantage. "He's sneaky long," Iowa assistant coach Kirk Speraw said. "He gets his hands on deflections and blocked shots. He's got a good sense on how to play, good feel, he's unselfish, he can also shoot the basketball very well. But he gives us some length in there that you can never underestimate. He'll bring a different set of skills that will complement everybody else's skills." "Sometimes he's shown flashes of how good of a player he can be just how he takes people off the dribble," Iowa junior Melsahn Basabe said. "He has dribble combinations. He rises up and shoots right over people. He's 6-10, he's actually the same height as Gabe (Olaseni) when they measured him, so he has a lot of ability, I'm interested in seeing how he's going to fit in our team." While Uthoff's game at times looks effortless, his path to Iowa City was filled with potholes. After graduating from Cedar Rapids Jefferson as the state's 2011 Mr. Basketball (26.2 points, 11.2 rebounds), Uthoff landed at Wisconsin and opted to red-shirt in 2011-12. He later decided to transfer but was restricted from contacting potential schools without Coach Bo Ryan's approval. Ryan immediately denied permission for Uthoff to contact any Big Ten schools, Marquette and Iowa State. Ryan then added the entire ACC and Florida. The situation blew into a high-profile dust-up and led to intense scrutiny of Ryan. After a stress-filled week for all parties, Wisconsin Athletics Director Barry Alvarez allowed Uthoff to seek any school outside the Big Ten. "I was embarrassed in some aspects, that it had to get that big," Uthoff said. "I realized that (Wisconsin) wasn't going to work for me. I wanted to go someplace else. I really didn't want to make it that big a deal; I just wanted to leave and go to the next school and be happy." Uthoff, an economics major, visited Creighton and Iowa State but chose Iowa. He was excited to play for McCaffery, who diligently recruited Uthoff before he picked Wisconsin. The decision cost Uthoff travel privileges and a scholarship, but he'll earn both next year. Buy this photo Jarrod Uthoff cheers on his team before a game against the Purdue Boilermakers Wednesday, Feb. 27, 2013 at Carver-Hawkeye Arena in Iowa City, Iowa. (Brian Ray/The Gazette-KCRG) Uthoff has grown two inches and put on about 25 pounds from his days at Jefferson. He worked heavily on his ballhandling and lifted weights four days a week. He was allowed to practice, and he gave his teammates great looks. He simulated opponents on the scout team and brought both skills and intensity, which his teammates appreciated and respected. "He hasn't played basketball in two years," Iowa junior guard Devyn Marble said. "To come to practice every day having the hunger and motor to practice at an elite level knowing you're not going to play, it takes a lot to do that. Sometimes I ask him how do you do it because I want to know. "He can knock shots down; that's what he does. Versatile, can play the three or the four. Learning the offense, he's done a good job for us on the scout team, giving us a realistic look at what we might see facing an opponent." But competing against Division I athletes in practice the last two years doesn't compare to game action. Uthoff can't wait to don his No. 20 jersey in a game environment. It's what keeps him going. "I miss being out there on the court," he said. "It's not like anything else, especially here. Average attendance is up there. I've never played before this many people, and I'm excited to do it. "What do I bring to the table next year? Just whatever I do best. Just do whatever I do best to my greatest ability, and that's all anybody can ask to bring."

Detailed Description:
Cancer cells may spread from the primary site to the vertebrae resulting in their deformity. The standard treatment for this case is removal of the cancer deposits in the vertebra and filling the induced cavity with a cement like substance.
We are studying the effects (good or bad) of adding samarium (a radioactive substance) to the cement that is injected into the induced cavity.
Condition | Intervention | Phase |
Cancer Metastasis Pain |
Drug: Samarium (153SM) |
Phase 1 Phase 2 |
Study Type: | Interventional |
Study Design: | Allocation: Non-Randomized Endpoint Classification: Safety/Efficacy Study Intervention Model: Single Group Assignment Masking: Open Label Primary Purpose: Treatment |
Official Title: | Phase I/II Study of the Use of Vertebral Intracavitary Cement and Samarium (VICS) for Painful Vertebral Metastases |
Resource links provided by NLM:
Further study details as provided by New York Methodist Hospital:
Primary Outcome Measures:
- To determine the effect of intravertebral injection of Samarium on the relief of pain
Secondary Outcome Measures:
- To evaluate the effect of this procedure on the size of the vertebral metastatic deposits
Estimated Enrollment: | 30 |
Study Start Date: | May 2006 |
Estimated Study Completion Date: | August 2006 |
- Patients with bone metastases will be identified and discussed in the weekly joint Neuroscience meeting held in Radiation Oncology Department.
- If the patient is eligible to this study, the protocol will be offered to him/her. If the patient accepts; informed consent will be obtained.
- The case will be scheduled jointly by Neurosurgeon and Radiation Oncologist.
- Radiation physicist orders the radioactive samarium.
During the procedure:
- Neurosurgical procedure ( kyphoplasty/vertebroplasty) is performed as standard using . mild general sedation and local anesthesia.
- Once a cavity is identified in fluoroscopy, the trocar is secured. The volume and pressure of the kyphoplasty balloon are recorded.
- According to standard practice; only the radiation team (Radiation oncologist, Physicist) is handling the radioactive material. All work is done under sterile conditions.
- Two mCi. of Samarium is prepared after serial dilution steps under radiation precautions in the department of radiation oncology and material is transferred to OR.
- 0.5ml of "Head Cement" is administered first to act as a seal.
- The Samarium is then introduced into the vertebral cavity using a 2-way valve by the Radiation Oncologist. Total of 0.5ml (Samarium+0.2ml radio opaque material)
- The "Foot cement" (0.5 ml) is then introduced via the same 2-way valve into the vertebral cavity by the neurosurgeon to flush any remains of radioactivity in the system.
- The two way valve is then removed and the rest of kyphoplasty/vertebroplasty is ensued as per their ordinary protocol.
- Final volume of cement injected is recorded.
- After securing the wound, all devices, syringes, gloves and basins used for handling the radioactive substance are collected in a "red bag" and stored by radiation safety officer in the hot lab. till full radioactive decay.
- The room is scanned after patient's discharge, any spillage should be reported to radiation safety officer and normal procedures for environmental protection are ensued.
Post Procedure:
- Normal neurosurgical recovery room protocol is employed. No radiation precautions needed.
- Patient can be discharged home. No delays because of radiation precautions
- Once patient is cleared, a nuclear imaging scan is obtained with Gamma camera. The ratio of uptake in the vertebra to background is calculated. Moreover, Full body scan is obtained to identify other areas of uptake if any.
- A second nuclear imaging scan is done on the 4th day of the procedure (Two half Lives) to document significant decay and calculate dose.
- MRI/CT scan of the area treated should be done in 4 weeks to assess outcome.
- Clinical follow up is obtained at 2, 4 weeks and in 3 months. Careful pain score assessment is included in each time (Use Study Flow Sheet)

Morgan Stanley (MS:US), trading at less than half of its liquidation value, could be worth as much as $32 a share in a breakup, said Michael Mayo, an analyst at CLSA Ltd.
Short-sellers betting against Morgan Stanley would be "blown to Neptune" if the New York-based investment bank heeds calls for the biggest U.S. financial firms to be split into pieces, Mayo, 49, said today in an interview on Bloomberg Television's "Street Smart." The stock gained 2.7 percent to close at $12.96 in New York.
James Gorman, Morgan Stanley's chief executive officer, said last week that the firm will continue to shrink its fixed- income trading unit (MS:US), cutting so-called risk-weighted assets 30 percent from the third quarter of 2011 by the end of 2014. Mayo said that reduction should be closer to two-thirds.
"This is not a tough call," Mayo said. "If you break up the big banks, at least in the case of Morgan Stanley, I think investors would be huge winners (MS:US). I hope they can achieve this value on their own without a breakup, but they don't have forever."
Other large U.S. banks including Citigroup Inc. (C:US) and Bank of America Corp. (BAC:US) should consider breaking up, Mayo said. Citigroup, based in New York, has demonstrated over a decade of underperformance that it's unqualified to play in the "major leagues" and should go back to the "minor leagues," Mayo said.
'Disagree Vehemently'
Stockbrokers in Charlotte, North Carolina-based Bank of America's Merrill Lynch unit would cheer if the division were sold to a private-equity firm, he said. The question about JPMorgan Chase & Co. (JPM:US), based in New York, is whether the bank will be too big to manage once CEO Jamie Dimon leaves, Mayo said.
Jeanmarie McFadden, a Morgan Stanley spokeswoman, declined to comment on Mayo's remarks, as did Citigroup's Jon Diat and Bank of America's Jerry Dubrowski.
Mayo said he disagreed with former Citigroup CEO Sanford "Sandy" Weill that the U.S. financial system had changed in the decade since Weill ran the bank.
Weill, who helped engineer the 1998 merger of Travelers Group Inc. and Citicorp Inc. to create the largest U.S. bank, told CNBC earlier today that it's time to dismantle the nation's biggest lenders. He said he altered his views on the merits of large banks because "the world changes."
"I agree 100 percent with the conclusion that Citigroup should be broken up, but I disagree vehemently that the world has changed from the time Sandy Weill was CEO," Mayo said in a telephone interview. "The same ill-conceived incentives that caused the financial crisis are still in place today."
Weill, 79, stepped down as CEO of New York-based Citigroup in 2003 and as chairman in 2006.

Captain Michael Quin's family speaks about their son's death
Captain Michael Quin was one of seven Marines killed when two helicopters collided in Arizona.
Quin was a 2002 graduate of Loudoun Valley High School. He joined the Marines in 2006. He was assigned the billet of Flightline Officer in Charge and was responsible for the training and welfare of more than 100 Marines. Additionally, he was assigned to the Night System Instructor syllabus in the UH-1Y.
On Monday, Quin's parents spoke about the tragic loss of their son.
"We're still in that stage of numbness. It hasn't hit, it hasn't really hit," said mother Betsy Quin.
Betsy and father Brad Quin said Quin had recently proposed to the love of his life.
"It's a painful hole that has been created and to never be filled," Brad Quin said.
Quin was piloting one of the two Marine Corps. helicopters that collided last month in Yuma, Ariz. during a training mission. Everyone on board the two choppers died.
Quin was set to deploy next month for Afghanistan.
Two days before the fatal accident, Quin saw his fiance Kate and his two sisters at Camp Pendleton outside of San Diego for the what would be the last time.
While his family is grieving and mourning the life Quin never got to live, they find some comfort in the fact he died doing what he'd told them he always wanted to do--serve his county as a United States Marine.
"I'm thinking more about what could have been and it's hard and I'm going to think about that for a long, long time but I'm immensely proud of him," said his father.
Quin's personal decorations include the Navy and Marine Corps. Commendation Medal, Navy and Marine Corps Achievement Medal (second award), the National Defense Service Medal and the Global War on Terrorism Service Medal.

Using Classroom Clickers To Engage Every Student
By Linda L. Briggs
"With clickers, you're giving every student a voice, even the introverts," according to Edna Ross, a resource teaching professor and the chair of the University Instructional Technology Committee in the Department of Psychological and Brain Sciences at the
University of Louisville
in Kentucky, speaking about classroom response systems.
Ross, who is speaking in November at the
first-ever conference on clickers in the classroom
led the effort to bring classroom response devices into classrooms at the University of Louisville. , In the last five years or so, she has begun using the devices in her classrooms with great success.
Ross, whose courses include introductory psychology, developmental psychology, and the history of systems psychology, has taught for more than 30 years. We spoke with her recently about how clickers in the classroom can help to engage students, particularly--though not exclusively--in large lecture situations.
Campus Technology: Can you describe how you use clickers in class?
: I teach as many as 350 students at a time, freshmen students who are often coming from a high school classroom environment where the maximum class size was 30. All of a sudden they're stuck in a classroom with 350--that is massive culture shock for most incoming freshmen.
I have found that using clickers allows them to have their voices heard, allows them to participate in lecture discussions without exposing ... perhaps ... a minority viewpoint to ridicule or criticism. Students are far more open with clickers. We actually have, dare I use the term, "fun" in class.
CT: It sounds like you've seen great success with these devices.
: Yes, I have. It encourages students to come to class, for one thing. As I said, coming from a 30-person high school class, all of a sudden they're stuck in this [huge] college class; students may feel detached or alienated. [They may think], What difference does it make if I attend? With clickers, I make it more interactive and more engaging. They get reinforced. There are rewards for showing up.
CT: What are specific ways that you use clickers in class?
: I use the clickers in several ways. One way is to train students--"shape" is the psychological term--to read the textbook and know the lecture material before they come to class.
I'm talking about freshmen here in a large class. They're coming from a high school environment where reading the textbook wasn't necessarily something they did. All of a sudden, I'm requiring them to read this college-level book and have it read before they come to a large lecture class.
To train them, I have clicker questions on the material that they should have read before they came to class. It's really a clicker quiz. And some of those questions are on exams, so that makes them pay attention too. It's not just extraneous material.
I have an algorithm whereby I calculate how many correct clicker responses they have during a given period, and they get extra credit points on their exam.
CT: So you're able to trace individual responses back to students?
: Precisely. With the
system [used at the university, students] register in a global database, and then I synchronize my class roster to that registration information. So I know exactly which students are answering what. I have a complete paper trail.
CT: But that information remains confidential; only you can see it?
: Yes. That's what gives students the freedom to express their opinions freely.
I gave the example of using clickers to ask factual questions based on the textbook. Another way I use clickers is to engage the students in the material, and to get a discussion going in the class at large. In large classes, you're going to have extroverts who can dominate the discussion. They don't mind getting up and speaking in front of 300 students. They will completely control the situation, and students who have a minority or discrepant view aren't going to feel comfortable or confident enough to express that view.
With clickers, you're giving every student a voice, even the introverts, even the shy ones, and the ones who don't agree with the dominant social position. I'm giving them a voice, and it's heard instantly.
CT: How many questions will you generally ask during class? What's a good measure for that?
: There really is a fine line. If you use them too many times, students just think it's a gimmick. The instructor needs to be able to gauge at what point clicker questions are most appropriate.
That brings up a third way I use clickers in class, and that is to gather feedback on whether students understand what I just said. Instructors do this all the time: "Any questions? This is a difficult concept, people." Very few students are going to raise their hands and say, "I don't understand that. Could you explain it [again]?"
So I have a clicker question on that material. From experience, I know the speed bumps in student comprehension. So I will know from the responses to that question how well the class as a whole understands a concept....
CT: I generally think of clickers as useful in large classrooms, but what about small settings?
: I also use them in my honors classes, where I have 20 to 24 students. They are useful there for feedback on who understands what, [as well as] who has done the supplemental readings to the textbook, and to go over sensitive material.
CT: By sensitive material, do you mean issues that students might not want to discuss in front of others?
: Right. We can have those conversations without people identifying who they are... The students are very interested in seeing what their peers think. Very interested. I've had some very interesting discussions [with students] using clicker questions....
CT: Have these devices changed your teaching style?
: I've always been an interactive teacher... but now I'm more precisely interactive. Because you can do questions on the fly, and you don't have to come in with predetermined questions you're going to ask, based on how my students are responding to the materials we're covering, I can go in any direction at any point. And I know how they're responding. I use [Microsoft] PowerPoint very effectively, thank you ... along with clickers.
CT: As with any technology, classroom response systems have their detractors. What do you see as a possible downside to clickers in classrooms?
: The problem with instructional technology is, if it's too bells-and-whistles-y, if it's too complex, the learning curve for the typical faculty is much too steep. After all, our job is not to deal with technology, it's to instruct students. Most of us don't have the time to learn complicated types of instructional technology. Most of us also don't want to be dependent on ... IT personnel to bail us out every time we're in trouble in front of the classroom.
With the iclicker technology, there's virtually no learning curve. I don't want to sound like a commercial, but ... I think the defining point with iclickers is that they were developed by college professors who have been in a classroom....
CT: Clickers are fairly simple devices in themselves, but are there features to look for if an institution is considering standardizing on a clicker?
: Ease of use.... You don't want to overburden IT or faculty. It has to be a system that does the job but does it so easily that faculty aren't intimidated by using it.
CT: Let me ask you about the upcoming Nov. 15 conference at the University of Louisville on classroom response systems, at which you're speaking.... It's the first conference specifically on clickers?
: Yes....
This conference
is all about best practices with clickers, [especially] discipline-specific best practices. Some principles [of clicker use] go across all disciplines, but an educational part of this conference for faculty is that they will be able to hear and see how clickers are being used in some very diverse disciplines.

Created on Day 6
In spite of its small size, the bobcat is a ferocious predator. It has the ability to kill an animal as large as a deer. The female bobcat teaches her young to hunt two weeks after they are born. If the bobcat makes a big kill, it will drag its prey to a safe location, eat what it desires, and then cover up the rest to return later to feed. This allows it to feed a number of times on a single kill. These predatory skills became part of the bobcat's instincts after the Fall of man.
- The bobcat can be distinguished from other cats by its ear tufts and ruffs of hair on the sides its face. Its fur is mainly brown and beige with darker shades making up the spots. The backs of its ears are black, and the tip of its tail has black bars on it.
Fun Facts
- Unlike other cats, the bobcat's tail is relatively short. This is possibly where it gets its name.
- The bobcat likes to live and hunt alone.
- The growl of the bobcat is easily confused with the growl of a mountain lion.
- The bobcat is the most common wildcat in North America.

UPDATE 2-Gas from Israel's Tamar field starts flowing -owner
- Tweet
- Share this
JERUSALEM, March 30 (Reuters) - Natural gas from the Tamar field off Israel's Mediterranean shores began flowing on Saturday, the partners in the field said.
Israel, once energy poor, is expected to become a gas exporter by the end of the decade, with the Tamar field holding enough reserves to meet the country's gas needs for decades.
The discovery in 2009 led to an exploration frenzy in the Levant Basin - shared between Israel, Cyprus and Lebanon - and the uncovering of a second bigger find, Leviathan, which prompted Israel to set up a natural gas wealth fund.
"Today (we begin) independence in Israeli natural gas. It is an enormous achievement for the Israeli economy and the start of a new era," said Israeli billionaire Yitzhak Tshuva, the controlling shareholder in Delek Group, one of the partners in Tamar.
The gas should lead to a reduction in production costs for state utility Israel Electric Corp as well as a decline in the price of electricity, the Israeli Water and Energy Ministry said last week.
A statement from the production partners who said they had invested $3 billion in developing Tamar, estimated the new gas supplies would save Israel's economy, which relies heavily on oil imports, 13 billion shekels ($3.6 billion) per year.
Texas-based Noble Energy holds 36 percent of Tamar. Isramco Negev owns 28.75 percent and Delek Group subsidiaries Avner Oil Exploration and Delek Drilling hold 15.625 percent each. Dor Gas Exploration has a 4 percent stake.
Noble Energy Chairman and CEO, Charles Davidson, said bringing Tamar to production in four years was a "transformational achievement" and that the field's partners would now work to invest in increasing piping capacity.
"Building on this success, we will work with our partners and the government to sanction the next phase of development at Tamar and the domestic phase of Leviathan," Davidson said.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netantyahu highlighted the achievement in a statement issued by his office.
"We are taking an important step towards independence in the energy sector. In the past decade we have promoted Israel's gas sector and this will enhance Israel's economy and benefit all the country's citizens," he said.
Tamar is located 90 kilometres off Israel's northern coast and has an estimated 10 trillion cubic feet of gas.
Development of Tamar and Leviathan will make Israel less dependent on energy imports but the country has said it will also allow a significant amount of its natural gas to be exported.
Tamar has already signed a number of large deals, including one to supply as much as $23 billion of natural gas to Israel Electric Corp and $4 billion worth to units of conglomerate Israel Corp.

text: GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. – Davenport University Director of Athletics Paul Lowden has announced the addition of two athletic programs beginning in 2013-14. Women's Ice Hockey and Women's Rugby will become the 27th and 28th athletic programs that the University will sponsor and the search for a head coach for each will begin immediately."Davenport University has been a trend setter in adding both varsity and non-varsity programs for the past 10 years," Lowden said. "The addition of women's hockey and women's rugby falls in line with our strategic initiative."Davenport added men's rugby as an official sport three years ago, and the program has won two DI-AA national titles since then. The rugby programs will be non-NCAA< but will be treated as varsity in every other way."Men's Hockey and Men's Rugby have been two of our most successful athletic programs at Davenport University with a combined 6 National Championships," said Lowden. "It is a natural fit for Davenport to add both Women's Hockey and Women's Rugby as both of these unique programs will help add diversity to our campus and overall campus life experience."The search for a head coach for each of the program's will begin immediately.Lowden said many key organizations were involved in the decision to start these programs stating, "The Athletic Department, our Athletic Advisory Board and University Leadership were all involved in the approval of the addition of these two programs. Most of our current athletic programs are offered both in men and women. Strategically, it was the right decision to identify Women's Hockey and Women's Rugby to complement our successful Men's Hockey and Men's Rugby programs."

CORPUS CHRISTI NATIONALLY RECOGNIZED FOR » North Beach (formerly Corpus Christi Beach) » McGee Beach | |
The City of Corpus Christi Parks & Recreation Department is pleased to announce that the City's Corpus Christi Beach (later officially named North Beach) and McGee Beach on the bayfront have together been voted as winners of the 2012 Best Restored Beach Award by the American Shore and Beach Preservation Association (ASBPA) for the Community Beaches category of the Northern and Western Gulf Coast Region. Corpus Christi is one of only seven cities in the regional categories to receive the ASBPA award this year. Each year, ASBPA creates awareness of the value of restored beaches through its Best Restored Beach award. The Community Beaches category is defined as 'less densely developed beaches backed by low-rise or single-family dwellings.' For a decade, the ASBPA has recognized communities that have undertaken significant beach restoration projects. Here in Corpus Christi, the City and Texas General Land Office (TGLO) in 2004 co-sponsored the re-nourishment of McGee Beach by placing about 56,000 cubic yards of sand on a 1,800-foot-long section beach. Among other things, this helped widen the beach to about 250 feet. Similarly, in 2001, the City and TGLO undertook a re-nourishment project which resulted in the placement of sand along more than 3,000 feet of beach on North Beach (formerly Corpus Christi Beach). These projects have made both beaches even more popular destinations for both residents and visitors to Corpus Christi. "We are honored to be recognized for our restoration efforts to our city's beaches," said Derek Herzog, the City of Corpus Christi's Beach Maintenance and Island Parks Superintendent. He added, "As stewards of our local natural resources, the return on our invested efforts to restore our bay beaches provides positive economic impact. Our beaches are our top attraction for visitors and residents alike. Families find beaches provide them great affordable recreation." In addition to Corpus Christi, the other six winners of the 2012 Best Restored Beaches Award in the regional categories are: East Beach, Norfolk, Virginia; Maine Park, Bellingham, Washington; Isle of Palms, South Carolina; Captiva Island, Florida; Kuhio Beach, Hawaii; Sunrise Beach Park, Illinois. The top three "Best of the Best Restored Beaches" in America are West Hampton Dunes, New York; Navarre Beach, Florida; and Presque Isle, Pennsylvania. In 2010, Corpus Christi's same two bayfront beaches, North Beach (formerly Corpus Christi Beach) and MaGee Beach, were nationally recognized as Best Restored Beaches. ASBPA was founded in 1926 with the purpose of promotes the integration of science, policies and actions that maintain, protect and enhance the coasts of America. For more information on ASBPA, go to www.asbpa.org. The award presentation is during the 2013 ASBPA National Coastal Summit in Washington, DC, February 26–28, 2013.
