NEW ORLEANS - Xavier University ranks number one in the nation in the number of African-American students who graduate from medical school. Now one of the country's top doctors will make its health curriculum even stronger.
You've seen her in uniform as a three star admiral, and the 18th U.S. surgeon general. She came to New Orleans in 2010 to help victims of the BP Gulf oil spill. Now she's coming back.
She gave up her position, but not her mission of prevention, prevention, prevention.
"My mother died of lung cancer from smoking. My father died of complications of a stroke and hypertension and my brother died from HIV, all preventable diseases," said Dr. Regina Benjamin from the podium.
She has a new bully pulpit, the students at her alma mater, Xavier University, where Dr. Benjamin is the first endowed chair in public health sciences. While she'll still see patients in Bayou La Batre Rural Health Clinic in the small Alabama shrimping village, she will also review Xavier's curricula in the public health sciences, teach students, and bring in experts for international conferences.
"Health doesn't occur just in a doctor's office. It occurs where we live, where we learn, where we work, where we play, where we pray. It occurs in everything we do," she explained.
When talking about how Louisiana and Mississippi consistently rank at the bottom when it comes to the health of the citizens, she says "We have work to do."
Dr. Benjamin wants to teach how exercise can be fun, like dancing for instance. And she wants to fight the death and health destruction caused by cigarettes and marketing to teens by tobacco companies.
"Ninety percent of all of smokers start before the age of 18. Ninety-nine percent before the age of 26. If we could just get that young person not to take that first cigarette. They (tobacco companies) market over $1 million an hour, $27 million a day to that 18 to 26-year-old. They know where to market," Dr. Benjamin continued.
And in the packed audience at Xavier, was one of her proud teachers who has been shaping lives for 46 years.
"The real purpose of Xavier is that our graduates will become leaders who will go out to help create a more just and humane society. Regina you've done it. You will continue to do it," announced Sister Grace Mary Flickinger of the Xavier Faculty to the entire audience.

Danica Patrick wins pole for NASCAR's Daytona 500By MARK LONG
The Associated Press | February 18,2013AP Photo
Danica Patrick displays the flag after winning the pole during qualifying for NASCARs Daytona 500 at Daytona International Speedway Sunday in Daytona Beach, Fla. Patrick became the first woman to secure the top spot for any Sprint Cup race.DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. Danica Patrick has won the Daytona 500 pole, becoming the first woman to secure the top spot for any Sprint Cup race.
It was the biggest achievement of her four-year NASCAR career.
Patrick went out eighth in the qualifying session Sunday and covered the 2½-mile superspeedway in 45.817 seconds, averaging 196.434 mph.
Hopefully, there are good things to come, Patrick said.
She waited about two hours as 37 fellow drivers tried to take her spot. Only four-time Cup champion Jeff Gordon even came close to knocking her off.
Gordon was the only other driver who topped 196 mph. He locked up the other guaranteed spot in next weeks season-opening Daytona 500.
Its great to be part of history, Gordon said. I can say I was the fastest guy today.
The rest of the field will be set in duel qualifying races Thursday.
However the lineup unfolds, all drivers will line up behind Patricks No. 10 Chevrolet SS for The Great American Race.
We say its not really us, but shes got to do her part, too, team owner and fellow driver Tony Stewart said. She did a really good job. Im proud of all of us.
Patrick has been the talk of Speedweeks. Not only did she open up about her budding romance with fellow Sprint Cup rookie Ricky Stenhouse Jr., but she was considered the front-runner for the pole after turning the fastest laps in practice Saturday.
And she didnt disappoint.
She kept her car at or near the bottom of the famed track and gained ground on the straightaways, showing lots of power from a Hendrick Motorsports engine.
The result surely felt good, especially considering the former IndyCar driver has mostly struggled in three NASCAR seasons. Her best finish in 10 Cup races is 17th, and she has one top-five in 58 starts in the second-tier Nationwide Series.
She raced part-time in 2010 and 2011 while still driving a full IndyCar slate. She switched solely to stock cars last season and finished 10th in the Nationwide standings.
She made the jump to Sprint Cup this season and will battle Stenhouse for Rookie of the Year honors.
But taking the pole will make her the talk of the town for another week. She also won the pole at Daytona for last years Nationwide race.
This is considerably bigger.
The previous highest female qualifier in a Cup race was Janet Guthrie. She started ninth at Bristol and Talladega in 1977.
Thats a really big deal because qualifying for the Daytona 500 is really interesting thing, Patrick said. If youre anywhere but the front row, its really hard to see on race day. This just speaks volumes of Stewart-Haas Racing. It just shows what a great organization it is.MORE IN Wire SportsNEW YORK Maria Sharapovas serve and her groundstrokes were abandoning her.

Heat guard Dwyane Wade sustained an ankle injury midway through the third quarter of the NBA All-Star Game after landing awkwardly on Deron Williams' foot.
Wade had scored 14 points in the game before limping off the court with 5:04 left in the quarter. He also had four rebounds and two assists in 21 minutes for the East, who lost 148-143 loss to the West.
It is the same ankle that has been bothering Wade all week since hurting it against Boston last Sunday.
The Heat resume play Tuesday at home against the Kings. No word yet on the severity of the injury and whether or not he'll play in that game.

The Peconic Land Trust, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, was established in 1983 by John v.H. Halsey and a small group of local residents to ensure the protection of Long Island's working farms, natural lands, and heritage. Since 1983, the Trust has worked diligently with landowners, communities, municipalities, and partner organizations to protect nearly 11,000 acres of land, conserving more working farms on Long Island than any other private conservation organization, and securing millions of dollars from the public and private sector for land protection.
What this means to you:
Land Conservation Benefits the Community
The Trust's important work benefits the people and communities of Long Island by helping to protect our area's scenic beauty and rural heritage. The Trust's work to conserve these natural resources will have significant impact for generations to come:
- Working farms: provide fresh, local produce
- Natural lands and wildlife habitats: provide bio-diversity
- Wetlands and bays: provide clean and productive water resources
- Watersheds: provide critical drinking water supplies
- Walking trails: provide recreational opportunities
Stewardship Enables Our Resources to Thrive
In addition to land protection, we know the importance of stewardship. Trust staff members employ innovative techniques to help farmers, landowners, and municipalities maintain the natural resources of Long Island. Our current stewardship projects include:
- Shellfisher Preserve, restoration of this historic shellfish farm includes providing seed clams, oysters, and scallops for local bays and preparing the facility for direct sales to local businesses and consumers;
- Quail Hill Farm, the longest running community-supported organic farm on Long Island;
- Bridge Gardens, donated to the Trust in 2008, a unique botanical garden in Bridgehampton
- Agricultural Center at Charnews Farm , acquired by the Trust in 2008,
- Restoration of an 18th century English-style barn in Cutchogue;
- Replacement of invasive plant species with native varieties;
- Guardianship of thousands of acres of agricultural and natural landscapes
. . . and the countless land renewal projects that are restoring natural resources throughout our communities.
Education is Fundamental to Our Future
The Trust also embraces the idea that education is a critical component to any conservation program. We regularly provide hiking events, lectures, family-oriented activities -- like birdhouse building workshops, nature walks and beach explorations -- and many other interesting outreach events. Our staff also maintains walking trails through protected lands so that residents, visitors and children can learn and enjoy the benefits of land conservation.
Today, the Peconic Land Trust is a national land trust leader, providing creative approaches to land conservation and stewardship, and supporting legislation and regulations that help conserve our environment for future generations. We are a proud supporting member of the Land Trust Alliance, the pre-eminent service provider to the private land conservation community, and the Long Island Farm Bureau. Our governing board and staff of professionals are committed to the importance of our mission.
Funding our Conservation Efforts
Approximately 60% of the Trust's budget comes from charitable donations while the remaining 40% is fee income from planning and stewardship services provided to clients. A common misperception, however, is that the Peconic Land Trust is the recipient of the monies raised through the Community Preservation Tax (also referred to as the 2% land transfer tax or the Peconic Land Tax). This is NOT the case. The CPF tax is collected by Suffolk County and then redistributed to the five East End towns, the distribution of which is based on the location of the property from which the tax is acquired, for their conservation work.

Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel is admitting his style of governing has alienated people and he could benefit politically if he were a little smoother in his efforts.
Emanuel made the admission Friday during a "fireside discussion" hosted by the University of Chicago. The event marked the mayor's third year in office.
Despite his polarizing personal style, Emanuel asserts he's getting things done. He says he has "taken on battles against very powerful interests" and that may have cost him politically. He pointed to the longer school day, the five-month closing of the CTA's Red Line South subway and battles against the gun lobby.
Noting a recent public opinion poll shows only 29 percent of those surveyed would support a re-election bid, he answered: "Thank God the election is not today."

MALONE — Perhaps the worst fire to ever hit Malone was on April 17, 1913, when the Wilson Hotel was destroyed and seven people died.
The hotel, located at the corner of Catherine and Mechanic streets, had 35 boarders and guests at the time of the fire. The aging structure burned with ferocity, forcing most to flee in their night clothes. Guests who couldn't get to the first floor jumped from windows.
The building was flimsy and originally built as a carriage repository, therefore no fire escapes were present. For some unknown reason, there was a coating of sheet iron on the outside of the wooden structure, hampering firefighters' efforts to attack the flames.
Fred Tummons lived only a few hours after the fire, dying from the severity of his burns.
Others who died in the fire were Malone residents Albert Robideau, John Timmons, hotel bartender Fred Truechon, a traveling musician named Tony Nicolina of New York, Philip O'Connor of Pierceville (Saranac Lake), John Maas of Albany and Michael Cooney of Westville.
Newspaper accounts from the time say Nicolina was performing at the local theater. After finding his way out of the flames, he went back into the hotel to salvage his harp. He never made it out again.
According to a story in the New York Times on April 18, 1913, "those injured by jumping were a Mrs. Premo of Eltonburg, both legs broken, and A. Martin, a vaudeville actor, left arm and ankle broken."
It was determined, by witnesses, that the fire started from an explosion. Nevertheless, the owners of the hotel, William and Mary Wilson, were brought before the grand jury on charges of manslaughter, but they were found innocent.

Deltic Announces Preliminary First Quarter 2012 Results
Deltic Timber Corporation (NYSE:DEL):
|Net sales
|Net income
|Earnings per common share
|Assuming dilution
|Average shares outstanding
President and Chief Executive Officer, Ray C. Dillon, of Deltic Timber Corporation (NYSE:DEL) announced today that preliminary net income for the first quarter of 2012 was $.1 million, $.01 a share, the same as reported for the first quarter a year ago. The Company's Mills segment reported improved operating income due to an increase in sales volume, a higher average unit sales price, and a lower average cost per unit sold, when compared to the first quarter of 2011. The improvement in results for the Mills segment was essentially offset by increased Corporate general and administrative expenses and a lower equity in the earnings of Del-Tin Fiber, Deltic's joint venture to manufacture medium density fiberboard ("MDF"). Net cash provided by operating activities was $2.1 million in the first quarter of 2012, which compares to net cash required of $1.2 million a year ago.

Some changes could be coming to some Caddo Parish schools struggling with enrollment and academic achievement.
Caddo Superintendent Dr. Theodis Goree released his plan for a reconfiguration of schools on Friday afternoon, identifying schools and addressing questions about the plan.
Under the proposed plan, at least 6 failing schools will be revamped to focus on curriculum by Fall. Pre-K through 3rd grade students would attend Mooretown, Caddo Heights and Sunset Acres. Meanwhile, 4th through 6th grade students would be transferred to Midway, Atkins and Werner park.
"I think this decision is a first step in a model that we could see modeled in other feeder patterns throughout our district, but I think this is a great starting spot," says Goree, who is serving his first semester as the district's new superintendent. "I think this will make a major impact on instruction in Caddo Parish."
The Caddo Parish School Board will vote on the plan at the January 28, 2014 board meeting.

April 12, 1984 (30 Years Ago)
Trimble County High School juniors Amy Andrew, Mark Perkinson and Jamie Proctor have been selected to attend the 1984 Governor's Scholars Program by Governor Martha Layne Collins. The five-week special enrichment program will be held this summer at the University of Kentucky and Centre College. The program, held last year for the first time, offers a broad range of courses, speakers and activities.
Why do we get so bent out of shape over sports in general, but especially college basketball?
We are so quick to be proud supporters of one team and villify other teams and supporters of other teams. Often the verbage disintegrates into hateful language. Hey, we're all God's people here and we're supposed to be neighbors and friends. But I have seen so much verbal denigration and trash talk on social networking during March Madness that I am beyond ready for something else to take our focus.
While several issues remain unresolved, the General Assembly completed its biggest task early last week when it overwhelmingly approved a budget to run state government for the next two years.
In many ways, this legislation mirrors the proposal the House voted for last month. It gives our elementary and secondary schools, for example, their first real increase since 2008. There is also significantly more revenue for such things as textbooks, school safety measures and teacher development.
A Carroll County man has been arrested and charged with the murder of his two-year-old son, Kentucky State Police said. Douglas Allen, 26 years old from Ghent, was charged in connection with the Feb. 19 death of his son.
Each year the Bedford Rotary Club selects a person from the Trimble County area for its "Citizen of the Year Award." The purpose is to highlight achievements of an individual who has contributed positively to our community.
"Service Above Self" is the general theme for the Rotary International Organization.
The club is soliciting suggestions from the community for a potential recipient of this award. This involves sending in a recommendation outlining the achievements. The deadline for receipt of the recommendation is Tuesday, May 6, 2014.

The Milton City Commission will meet at 7 p.m. at the Milton Municipal Building.

Many drivers in Kentucky will encounter at least one work zone during their daily travels. With 90 percent of adults in America owning a cell phone, it has become increasingly common to see multi-tasking drivers dialing, texting or talking on their phones while driving through work zones.
National Work Zone Awareness Week is April 7-11. With April also being National Distracted Driving Awareness month, the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet is working to raise awareness of the dangers associated with distracted driving – especially through work zones.

"I'm not moving down there," Jenkins said Tuesday. "I had the opportunity to buy a business down there, which I did, but I'll continue to be a Farm Bureau agent here and operate the business from here."
Jenkins said he withdrew from the political race "because I couldn't do all three jobs."

Beautifully shot Kris. Beautiful.
Thanks much, Burt!
Wow! very impressive! Nice shot Kris
Such an a beautiful place and your photo really captures it. The contrast of the colors (blue to oranges) is so vivid; it makes me homesick for the midwest (for a minute anyway!!!).
If I made you miss the Midwest even for a minute, I succeeded :)
Another Tremendous Shot Kris!
Thanks Peter. North Shore is awesome. Not many places in the US combine water, cliffs, and hard climbing.

Celebrity Couples!
Zac Efron just says NO to Miley Cyrus for Rumer Willis?
[Jan. 4]
Celebrity gossip sources are suggesting that Hairspray and Highschool Musical movie series star Zac Efron may have turned down dating Miley Cyrus after his Christmas break up with Vanessa Hudgens in favor of a date with none other than Rumer Willis?
Perez Hilton shared his celebrity gossip view of the celebrity couple situation by asking politely, "There's not something you wanna tell us, is there Zac?"
Hilton went on to say:
Zac Efron and Rumer Willis were reportedly getting pretty cozy together while on vacation at Parrot Island with Bruce and other Willis family members.
According to Zac and Rumer's camps though, the two of them are "just friends."
Hmm…We'll be keeping an eye out for U two!
Whether or not Zac Efron is dating Rumer Willis or not, it's nice to know he did not spend the holidays hanging out with newly single Miley Cyrus.
Miley and her mother spent considerable time talking on Twitter (before Miley Cyrus deleted her account) about how hot Zac Efron really is, and while they might have thought it was a cute publicity stunt, we doubt his girlfriend Vanessa Hudgens was very impressed.
Since Efron and Cyrus were spotted out at the same sporting event in December — and Miley ditched her latest live-in boyfriend (Australian actor Liam Hemsworth) — everyone who likes Zac has been worried that he would hook up with the trampy Disney Princess while getting over Zanessa.
We are glad to hear his rebound girl might be the daughter of legendary Hollywood Actor Bruce Willis and pretty mom Actress Demi Moore — who is still married to the other hot young actor in Hollywood everyone loves to watch: Ashton Kutcher.
Ashton Kutcher and Demi Moore just founded a charity benefit organization to help put an end to slavery in the modern day, a crime that typically involves the sex trade.
Zac Efron has supported a variety of charities, including the Make A Wish foundation and Habitat for Humanity.
Rumer Willis has not really found her own cause yet; however, she routinely attends red carpet charity benefits.
Miley Cyrus is pet friendly, but rather than getting her dogs from animal rescue shelters, she buys them from expensive dog breeders. She is not high on our list of green celebrities.
Vanessa Hudgens is a great girl and we are sorry to hear she and Zac Efron broke up. The young starlet has supported the Keep A Child Alive, Habitat for Humanity, the Make A Wish Foundation, and the Susan G. Komen for the Cure organization (which seeks to find a treatment for and to end the medical threat of Breast Cancer).
Bruce Willis is the official celebrity spokesperson for the Special Olympics World Games.

Things hit rock bottom for Jair Jurrjens Sunday afternoon in Washington, as the right-hander gave up nine hits and six runs in just 2.1 innings in Atlanta's 9-2 loss to Washington.
Ryan Zimmerman got things going in the first, as he crushed a home run to right field with Steve Lombardozzi on first to make it a 2-0 game. Michael Morse followed with a single, and scored on a Danny Espinosa double to make it 3-0. Roger Bernadina singled as well, bringing in Espinosa and making it a 4-0 game after the first.
Zimmerman struck again in the third, launching his second home run of the game to make it a 5-0 game in favor of Washington. Morse doubled and scored on a single from Espinosa to up Washington's advantage to 6-0.
Jurrjens left after that, finishing with a line of 2.1 IP, 9 H, 6 R, 6 ER, 0 BB, and 0 K.
With runners on first and second against Luis Avilan in the fifth, Sandy Leon doubled home both Morse and Espinosa to up the deficit to 8-0.
The Braves finally got on the board in the sixth against Ross Detwiler, as a passed ball brought in Martin Prado, and a groundout from Freddie Freeman scored Jason Heyward. That made it an 8-2 game.
Washington added one more run in the bottom of the sixth, ending the scoring at 9-2.
Jonny Venters pitched two scoreless innings of relief, which is a very good sign for Atlanta and its bullpen.

If your blood sugar never goes below 94 and above 200 is it ok to have beers? i'm new at this but i love beer
late night post! Its been a long Friday night. Had a few friends over, had a few too many beers,and due to the late night cravings and drunk munchies I cooked up a bunch of homemade quesadillas and made a big grilled spicy stir-fry. When I was about to retire for the night I checked my BG and it was in the 40's! Consequently I had the burden of having to eat sour gummy worms and some Sourpatch kids before bed ;) ahh sometimes I thoroughly enjoy the moments of me frantically shoving candy into my mouth due to hypoglycemia. It taste delicious and I know that within a few minutes 'll be feeling a little better.
Still pretty new at this T1 thing. I enjoy beer, but haven't had more than one in the past month. I feel (right now) that it's too dangerous right now until I learn what my body is comfortable with. I suppose I won't be enjoying a beer on the patio this summer. I really do miss it!
Hi Jason. Love the cafe idea BTW. Yeah, heavier beers are more problematic for me too. I can do fine with a pilsner or lager. Some IPAs work fine as well, but I have to be more careful for stouts, porters and darker ales. I really have not experimented enough to give you much insight for dealing with this yet. I know that one beer after work seems to not be a big issue, but if I have two I need to bolus for sure. Kinda sucks since beer is a food group. But for now I can enjoy what I can.
Hi Chance. Welcome to TuD. The most common reason for the over night BG rise is your liver dumping glucose. There are other causes though. Post this in the forums with some more detail (basal, bolus and meal times) and you will get a larger response than on a group post. Lots of folks here with great knowledge and experience. They can give great advice and ideas on how to deal with virtually any issue. It's been a huge help to me over the last year.Enjoy, learn and keep "hoppy".
just checked bg for the first time today it 277 it was 177 when i went to bed and i have not eat a thing
hello all its good to be here
Love beer.......one or two a week. My doc says it raises triglycerides, so I drink it occasionally and no other alcoholic beverages. I won't drink that light beer stuff. Ugh! My bloodwork is fine, even my A1C is good.

Joe Vitale posts goal and three assists for Huskies
Box Score - Text Box - Game Sheet
ORONO, Maine -- Northeastern's Joe Vitale scored a goal and added three assists to lead Northeastern University to a 7-3 win over Maine on Friday night at Alfond Arena in Orono, Maine. Bret Tyler (Maynard, Mass.) and Rob Bellamy (Westfield, Mass.) each had a goal and an assist for the Black Bears.
The two teams skated through a scoreless first period. Northeastern struck first when Steve Silva made a cross ice pass to Jimmy Russo who beat Maine goalie Dave Wilson (East Caledon, Ontario) 1:29 into the second period.
Maine's Rob Bellamy knotted the game at 1-1 minutes later. On the power play, Wes Clark (Oakville, Ontario) found Tanner House (Cochrane, Alberta) in front of the goal. House had a shot that was saved, but Bellamy collected the rebound for his third goal of the season.
Northeastern then scored the next three goals to take a 4-1 lead. Wade MacLeod and Vitale teamed up to find Tyler McNeely who beat Wilson for his sixth goal of the season. Northeastern made it 3-1 when Jacques Perreautlt and Jim Driscoll found Randy Guzior who beat Wilson with a shot from near the boards.
The Huskies took the 3-1 lead into the second intermission. MacLeod scored his first of the night from Vitale and McNeely 4:03 into the third period. Maine answered back with a goal by Bret Tyler, his team-leading fifth of the season. Bellamy and Jeff Marshall (Kyle, Saskatchewan) assisted on the goal by Tyler at 6:42 of the third period.
Northeastern answered right back with three straight goals. MacLeod scored his second of the night from Vitale, before Vitale and Rob Massey each notched unassisted tallies.
Maine closed out the scoring at 13:50 of the third period. Tyler found Robby Dee (Plymouth, Minn.) alone to the left of Northeastern goalie Brad Thiesssen. Dee beat Thiessen with a high shot for his first collegiate goal.
Northeastern had a 31-23 advantage in shots. Maine goalie Dave Wilson made 18 saves in 40 minutes of action. He picks up the loss and falls to 0-1-0 on the season.

Eau Claire (WQOW) -- The defending NCAA Division III champion UW-Eau Claire Blugolds get a new season going Friday night against St. Olaf (MN).
UWEC head coach Matt Loen says last year's experience has helped push his team in the offseason.
"I think that's why we were successful, we have depth at each position and you have to push yourself to get into to the lineup," says Loen, "that creates competition and obviously creates success on the weekends."
UW-Eau Claire graduated a fair amount of talent from that championship team, but Loen says some good players are ready to step into key roles.
"We had some freshmen last year that didn't really get playing time last year, but they're good players," Loen says, "so, we're hoping they can step in and provide some of that offensive role. We brought in a good recruiting class, a couple of division one transfers and nine freshman and they're all good hockey players. So hopefully we can find a good mix with our team and go from there."
The Blugolds will raise their national championship banner prior to Friday's game.

Monsanto wins patent dispute against Dow
February 4, 2004
Reuters reports that agricultural chemical company Monsanto Co., won a patent dispute against Dow Chemical Co., for biotech-gene technology to protect plants from insect damage, the companies said on Tuesday. Dow said it was considering appealing the decision by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. The ruling that Monsanto''s scientists were the first to invent the technology ended a dispute that had dragged on for nearly eight years. The ruling involves Dow AgroSciences unit Mycogen Seeds.

Crops containing Monsanto''s synthetic Bt gene technology include the YieldGard Rootworm corn seed and Bollgard cotton.

When the topic of sports comes up what do you think about? Muscle building substances, fake on-line love, scandal? It seems in recent weeks the world of sports has little to do with an actual game or competitive competition.
Tonight on "Let It Rip," Fox 2's Huel Perkins and Charlie Langton look at two evolving scandals in the world of sports. Cyclist Lance Armstrong's confession of using dangerous supplements to win titles. And if that is not enough, we are now learning about a possible hoax involving Notre Dame Heisman finalist Manti Te'o. A story that Te'o's girlfriend died of leukemia turned out to be fake.
Hear what Huel Perkins, Charlie Langton, FOX 2 Sports Director Dan Miller, Woody Woodriffe and FOX 2 Reporter Alexis Wiley have to say about these sporting scandals on tonight's "Let It Rip."

The design team of Artfag represent the next step in the integration of lighting and video for concerts; lifetime achievement honorees Andrew Bruce and Jennifer Tipton serve as a bridge between an earlier generation of designers and today's artisans; noted restaurant designer David Rockwell has carved out a niche designing sets for Broadway; Steve Ryan serves the age-old role of liaison between artist and technology, while Paul Vershbow takes that role to a step further in projection design; and lastly the dance troupe Troika Ranch, which incorporates interactive video technology with live dancers, takes the relationship of man and machine to an entirely new level. We're thrilled to be able to honor this incredibly diverse and eclectic mix of artisans and we hope you'll help us celebrate their achievements at the EDDY Awards ceremony on June 22 in New York."
You can read more about these artisans in the June issue of Entertainment Design. The EDDY Awards will be held on Wednesday, June 22, 2004, at the Tribeca Performing Arts Center, 199 Chambers Street, in downtown New York City. This year's ceremony will begin with a cocktail reception at 7:30pm, followed by the awards presentation beginning at 8:30pm. The 2005 EDDY Awards are presented in conjunction with the 11th annual Broadway Lighting Master Classes, the third annual Broadway Sound Master Classes , and the inaugural Projection Master Classes a three-part professional training program that runs from June 20 through June 24, 2005.
Celebrating their lucky 13th anniversary this year, the prestigious EDDYs pay tribute to those whose work has made an impact in our industry. The editors of Entertainment Design select the winners with an eye toward true excellence in technical and design-related fields. Since 1991, a wide variety of design and technical professionals, design or production teams, an association, a union, a rental shop, and other deserving groups have been so honored. In recent years, the EDDY Awards have celebrated both the spirit of collaboration, and remarkable individual achievement, as well as technical advancement with a series of product awards in professional audio, lighting, staging, and projection categories.

[1]LaMS - Università degli Studi Roma Tre, Roma, Italy
[2]Università degli Studi di Roma "La Sapienza", Roma, Italy
Liquid crystals - as all liquids - are generally modelled as incompressible media. In fact, mass-density changes occurring in these mesophases are minuscule and inconsequential in most regimes of interest. However, liquid crystals exhibit also phenomena that call for a more refined theory. In particular, it is experimentally well established that the Fréedericksz transition - i.e., the sudden ...

High intensity discharge lamps can experience flickering and even destruction, when operated at high frequency alternating current. The cause of these problems has been identified as acoustic resonances inside the lamp's are tube. Here, a finite element approach for the calculation of the acoustic response function is described. The developed model does not include the plasma dynamics.

The photoacoustic effect is based on resonant absorption of light by a sample and the transfer of the excitation energy into thermal energy via inelastic collisions of gas molecules. A modulated irradiation of the sample causes periodic pressure variations that can be detected by a microphone and measured using lock-in technique. Photoacoustic spectroscopy finds many applications in the field of ...

Forty-eight teams begin tournament play Friday in northern Idaho. The double-elimination format gives teams a shot at advancing through the losers bracket back to Saturdays championship match. Which six teams willbe left standing with a trophy?
Seven of the eight teams that reached state last year are back, including champion Lewiston. The Bengals have lost one match this season.
Vallivue had the best finish among last years District Three schools, but earned the No. 2 seed this season behind Timberline. Vallivue draws favorite Lewiston in its opener.
Three of the Treasure Valleys four qualifiers ended up on the same side of the bracket, and Timberline and Boise face each other in the first round, with the winner potentially meeting Rocky Mountain in the second round.
Three-time defending champion Century aims for another title after winning the District Five-Six championship.
Hoping to put an end to that streak is a Skyview team that has not lost to an Idaho school this season, and handed 5A favorite Lewiston its lone loss.
The Hawks are led by seven seniors, who helped the school reel in its third District Three title in a row and ninth in the past 11 seasons.
Since the 4A classification was started in 2000, Sandpoint, Bonneville and Century have accounted for all but one state title.
Bishop Kelly is making its fourth straight appearance at state, while Middleton is back for the first time since 2010.
Parma ended Fruitlands run of nine consecutive District Three titles, earning the leagues No. 1 seed at state.
The Panthers moved up to the 3A classification in 2010, having won two state titles in a row from 2008-09.
Five teams from last years field return, including champion Fruitland and runner-up Priest River. Snake River, which wontitles in 2010 and 2011, won the District Five title.
Filer (District Four), Sugar-Salem (District Six) and Priest River (District One-Two) are the other league champions in the field.
Nampa Christian reignited its rich tradition with a state championship last season, its first since the Trojans won six of seven from 2000-06.
Nampa Christian won the District Three title last week, but may have a tougher road to the title than last season. If the Trojans beat first-round opponent North Fremont, it could set up a rematch against Firth, last years runner-up.
Melba earned the leagues No. 2 seed and Cole Valley Christian won a play-in game against Oakley to advance. Both District Three schools are on the same side of the bracket.
Reigning champion Challis did not make the tournament, leaving Genesee, last years runner-up, as one of the favorites. Genesee last won in 2009, and has finished second the past three seasons.
Liberty Charter is making its first appearance at state, and has the best potential among District Three schools as the reigning district champ.
Compass Honors is back at state for the second straight season, while Idaho City beat Challis in a play-in match to qualify.
Four of the teams from last years field return, including Lighthouse Christian, which defeated Mackay in the championship match.
Camas County is back after a one-year absence, and should be considered a threat after winning three titles in a row from 2009-11.
For the second straight season, Tri-Valley and Horseshoe Bend represent District Three, but have switched places from last season. Tri-Valley enters as the district champion, headlined by seniors Victoria Branch, Skye Southwick, Hillary Hollon and Rachael Neckels.

Gay Marriage
Original post made by Cara on Apr 7, 2009
That's true. It IS going to happen. It's happening now. It's a slow trickle but more and more states are legalizing gay marriage. Before long gay marriage being illegal will be a thing of the past. Whether you like it or not.

What was the point of your post? Would you like a cookie? I ask because it appears you're just trying to invite confrontation in hopes of passing the day e-arguing with people. Anyway, yes, same sex marriage isn't anything we should be afraid of. No reason to not make it legal.
on Apr 7, 2009 at 3:02 pm
No it's not...
on Apr 7, 2009 at 3:19 pm
Previous post wasn't clear, was it?
Let me try again.
"It's gonna happen whether you like it or not".
No it isn't.
"Same sex marriage isn't something of which we should be afraid".
Yes it is.
"No reason to not make it legal"!
Yes there is!
"Can you hear me now"?????
Let the e-arguments begin!!!

I think Cara had interesting words to say. Personally I've been thinking about this a lot over the past week since some of the states in the Midwest recently legalized it. I've also been relating some of my thoughts to current issues going on in our town. I'm not a home owner, but if I was, I wouldn't want to pay a parcel tax that was approved by the city. Be it I may of had to because of legal reasons, but where do citizens of a town think it's OK to tell a group of people how they can or cannot live? (It's not OK to do A event but you must participate in paying for B event.)
My question for people who strongly against gay marriage, what do you say to all the homosexual or incestuous acts that took place hundreds of years ago? Many of the great literary authors that your own high school students read in English were gay or bisexual. Many of the cultures that your students read about in their history classes were filled of Pharaohs, kings, and queens etc that engaged themselves in gay sexual affairs, or even worse, incestuous acts with their own family members. Granted some of these acts are detrimental than others, but history shows that gay lifestyle has been around for a very long time and doesn't intend on going anywhere. Last question, if you were out walking in downtown Pleasanton (children or no children), would you have the guts to go up to two men or two women kissing and tell them to stop it?
on Apr 7, 2009 at 7:41 pm
I, too, found your post...shall we say, intriguing?
What makes you say you wish you were gay? Also, are you hot? And do you have any pictures?
on Apr 7, 2009 at 8:44 pm
It is heterosexual married couples who produce gay offspring who are not allowed to marry in California. I think we should do something about these married people who are giving birth to citizens not entitled to the rights of the majority. Should these marriages be allowed to continue? Look what they produce! Subhumans!
on Apr 7, 2009 at 11:28 pm
I yell at jaywalkers downtown and tell them they're setting a bad example 'for the children'. Most of them [and many have a child by the hand or in their arms] say.. "Thanks. I never thought of it that way"!!
It seems to be working.. I see a lot fewer jaywalkers!
Try it with the same sex kissers or hand holders. I'll bet they'd appreciate the reminder.

Appreciate what reminder?? It's illegal to jaywalk. It is not illegal to kiss or hold hands in public - regardless of whether or not you are homo- or heterosexual! I'm sure all of Pleasanton thanks you for single-handedly solving the horrible problem of jaywalking. Honestly, that's not the response you would get from me if you yelled at me! I can't write what I would say back...

Good. I'm a gay guy living in Pleasanton. I'm single and available. Anyone want to get married? : )
on Apr 14, 2009 at 8:29 am
To clearify, were you referring to same sex people kissing briefly saying hello or goodbye, or are you talking about two same sex people "making out on a park bench"? Your question is not fair. There is a huge difference regardless of gender?
How can anyone compare an illegal activity like jay-walking to a same sex relationship? That is very offensive! Gay marriage is not accepted as a legal contract, but is definately NOT against the law and surely endangers NOBODY! Let keep things in perspective.

@hello: That's because Cholo's nasty posts got deleted (note above).
70 years ago it was illegal in most states for people of Asian ancestry to marry white people. It wasn't until about 45 years ago that those few laws that were left were overturned by the US Supreme Court. The same arguments against those marriages then are being dusted off and used against gay marriage now. Why are so many people worried about who loves each other?
How about a dose of realism? Marriage changes people. My wife is not the same person I dated. (I actually like her better!) That certificate changes people. Expect it! Enjoy it!

Some debris on the highway caused a deadly motorcycle accident in Vadnais Heights.
The crash happened around 9:30 p.m. Wednesday on Interstate 694 near Labore Road when the motorcycle hit a piece of tire tread that was lying in the road, according to The Minnesota State Patrol.
The rider -- Brittany Larson, 22, of White Bear Lake -- was thrown from the motorcycle and hit by an SUV. She was on her way back from work when she crashed.
FOX 9 News spoke with Larson's family, and they want to send a powerful message about the need for helmets.
"My sister was amazing," said Brooke Larson, the victim's younger sister.
Brittany Larson was the middle child of three, and Brooke Larson told FOX 9 News her older sister made friends wherever she went and was a free spirit who loved adventure.
"She was too wild -- and if you think you can do whatever you want, you obviously can't," Brooke Larson said.
Family members say the 22-year-old thrill-seeker was drawn to motorcycles -- and the family has a history of riding. She had just got her license three months ago and purchased her first bike.
Brittany Larson's brother had given her a helmet, and her mother was brought to tears when she shared a picture of her late daughter wearing it -- and wondered aloud why she hadn't worn it on Wednesday.
"I went in and identified my sister today in the morgue because she rode her motorcycle without a helmet on," Brooke Larson said.
Larson's brother has parked his bike in his mother's garage, and said it's officially for sale. Still, the family says they know others will continue to ride -- they just want it to be done responsibly.
The Larsons told FOX 9 News they would like to see laws requiring helmets on Minnesota roads in the future.
Debris on the road is particularly dangerous for motorcyclists, who should try to avoid it at all costs -- but it's unclear whether Brittany Larson ever saw it. The Minnesota State Patrol says it's extremely rare for debris to cause a deadly crash, but say anyone who sees debris on the road should call 911 to have it removed as soon as possible.
After Wednesday night's accident, 14 motorcycle riders have died this year on Minnesota roads, compared to five this time last year.
That spike is causing officials to launch a safety campaign.
The Department of Public Safety is urging motorcycle riders and other vehicles to share the road. They're encouraging drivers to look twice for motorcyclists and bringing back the "start seeing motorcyclists" bumper sticker.

Some interesting observations on Obamacare
Original post made by Joe on Oct 6, 2013
But the single, best observation that I've read from anybody, from anywhere, was from the retired professional. She said she supported Obama and Obamacare and was happy to see it made into law. Her quote?
"Of course, I want people to have health care," she said. "I just didn't realize I would be the one who was going to pay for it personally."
on Oct 6, 2013 at 11:13 am
Very astutely argued Joe. I think James Madison or one of the other thirteen Founding Fathers said something exactly like your saying. All of your posts really rise the bar for dia-log.
on Oct 6, 2013 at 3:53 pm
Lol, from a 'professional', no less. One wonders what she was a professional at and whether she realizes that even in retirement she's still getting screwed.
In the immortal words of obamas minister and mentor, rev. Jeremiah Wright, 'this country's chickens have come home to roost.' Who would have thought that it would be you paying for someone else's medical care. Many Obama voters thought it was free...or at least 'someone else' would be paying. Apparently, for low information voters, that made obamacare alright. I love it when're reality smacks the ignorant upside the head!
on Oct 6, 2013 at 4:26 pm
I've got a hunch, Right, that you love it when you see ANYbody get smacked upside the head. Cuz that's what everyone else accept us deserves. Tea Party Rules!
Cholo your right. Because VA is run by government and government can't do anything right. Our Founding Fathers new this. Ask James Madison who was for government shutdowns, the more the better.

Calling the System.gc() method results in extreme slowness and jamming. In Monty 1.0 VM, garbage collection is different and every time System.gc is called, the entire memory is really cleared. This is an extremely slow process!
Do not call the System.gc method at all, or call the System.gc() garbage collecting method only in non-time-critical situations, such as screen transitions, state transitions, pause states, etc. If the System.gc() method is used, it is recommended to add a short delay (~20-50 ms) after the method call to ensure the sufficient time for the garbage collection, as in the following example:
Thread.sleep(delay); //delay = 20-50 ms

12.21.12 "New Beginning"
Rodney Lough Jr. has unveiled his latest masterpiece. A beautiful shot of a murky pool located in a remote part of Zion National Park in Utah. While taking this, Rodney was considering the Mayan prophecy of the world ending on December 21st. His take? "Being an optimist I choose to believe that things are getting better, better every day. I'm hopeful for a future where friendship, compassion, and love are welcomed and accepted for what they are. And that we'll rise from the primordial pool of our obsolete attitudes and embrace a better world we all know can exist. A world we all know is better than the one we find ourselves in today." You can purchase At The Dawn Of Creation at the Rodney Lough Jr. Wilderness Gallery at Crystals at CityCenter on Gallery Row.
