Addictive personalities can take many forms: a depressed college student who uses drugs for motivation; a hepatitis C-infected heroin user; an alcoholic with uncontrolled diabetes; a chronic pain sufferer dependent on prescription narcotics. In an effort to help patients such as these who struggle with addiction in conjunction with additional psychiatric or medical disorders called comorbidities, the Department of Psychiatry at UMass Medical School and clinical partner UMass Memorial Medical Center have launched the Addiction and Comorbidity Treatment Services (ACTS).
The mission of ACTS is to provide comprehensive evaluation and treatment for patients with addictive disorders, both with and without other psychiatric or medical disorders. "ACTS is unique as the area's only substance abuse facility housed at a major medical center," said Gerardo Gonzalez, MD, associate professor of psychiatry and director of ACTS. "Having an established outpatient psychiatry clinic with a substance abuse treatment license allows us to serve the full array of patients with these problems."
Anyone struggling with a drug or alcohol addiction is welcome at ACTS, which is located across the street from University Campus. Care is administered on an outpatient basis by a multi-disciplinary team including psychiatrists, social workers, psychologists and psychiatric nurse clinicians, all with specific addiction expertise.
Services include medication management for alcohol, tobacco and illicit substances, including buprenorphine (Suboxone) induction and maintenance for opiate dependency; medication management for co-occurring psychiatric disorders; opioid recovery and other addiction recovery groups; and individual counseling and psychotherapy, including treatment for co-occurring opioid addiction and chronic pain. ACTS also offers consultation to help primary care providers evaluate and manage their patients with substance abuse issues.
"Substance abuse is very prevalent in our society in all walks of life," said Jacob Kagan, MD, assistant professor of psychiatry and ACTS clinician, underscoring that individuals seeking treatment might come to ACTS through a number of referral sources. "We receive referrals from primary care physicians, other mental health clinicians, emergency departments, even patients' cardiologists, endocrinologists or oncologists," added Monika Kolodziej, PhD, assistant professor of psychiatry and also an ACTS clinical psychologist. Referrals also come from UMass Memorial affiliate Community Healthlink, AdCare Hospital and Spectrum Health Systems, all of which are ACTS community partners and members of the Central Massachusetts Addiction Consortium, which Dr. Gonzalez and Dr. Kolodziej co-chair.
In addition to adding clinical capacity for the Worcester community, ACTS trains competent providers as part of its mission to improve substance abuse treatment. "We have psychiatry residents including a chief resident in addictions, and an addiction psychiatry fellowship," said Gonzalez, who was recruited to be inaugural director of the fellowship and addiction psychopharmacology research by fellow addiction psychiatrist Douglas Ziedonis, MD, MPH, chair and professor of psychiatry. Trainees including medical students, psychology interns and psychiatry and family medicine residents have rotated through the clinic, and the Department of Psychiatry hopes more will do so in the future to learn about conditions and issues they will encounter in practice, no matter what their specialty.
With heroin use and non-medical use of prescription opioids among young adults on the rise, the ACTS team is hopeful that some ACTS patients may ultimately participate in clinical research underway at the UMMS Addiction Psychopharmacology Unit. Gonzalez is the principal investigator, and many ACTS team members are involved with, the young adult suboxone study funded by the National Institute of Drug Abuse. The study, entitled "Memantine-enhanced buprenorphine treatment for opioid dependent young adults," seeks to develop an effective short-term alternative to long-term medication assisted maintenance for young adult patients, the age group that experiences the highest prevalence of opiate addiction and rates of relapse after current treatment for opiate addiction.
Reflecting the philosophy of about two dozen ACTS team members, clinical leaders, colleagues and community partners who attended an opening reception for the clinic in January, Gonzalez said, "It is a great coincidence that the acronym ACTS reflects our team's commitment to act and participate in solving the problem of substance abuse that is affecting our community, especially our youth."

11Love It or Leave It: Britney Spears 'X-Factor' Dress
A little behind the trend of the Herve Leger-wearing Jennifer Love Hewitt, who lived in the bodycon bandage dresses for months at a time, but we'll give Britney an A for effort and a C for catching up, sound fair?
This is what Britney Spears wore for the recent 'X-Factor' finals, and if her image clean-up is any indication of what's to come, I'd say that we're out of luck in encountering the pink be-wigged, umbrella toting Britney of yesteryear.
Britney Spears' getup—love it or leave it?
December 13, 2012 at 7:30 am by Sarah
11 Responses to "Love It or Leave It: Britney Spears 'X-Factor' Dress"
She looks amazing! Wish I had her body.
Girl's eyes are dead. Appropriate that she is wearing a mummy wrap. "They" have mummified her.
The Leger dresses were part of her rider on the show. I think she asked for 30 or 50 of them or something ridiculous. She looks great, but she's just like a little robot that her father and fiancé prop up to get their 20%. She looks worlds better, but sad.
It's alarming how quickly she's aged. She's, what, early 30 something? And that fringe doesn't do her any favours.
I like the silhouette of the dress on her, as well as the colour, but I don't like this, nor probably any other bandage dress, on her. I think the bandage dress is fab on the really curvy girls like JLH, and the 3 oldest Kardashian girls. On a less curvy body it seems to sort of fill in the curves too much. Sort of over-smoothes resulting in an added overall bulk instead of showing off cute curves as a dress with the same silhouette in a smooth fabric would.
She does look quite dead in the eyes. She certainly has many things to be sad – depressed even -about in her life, certainly in her past, and quite likely the present.
Her hair colour leaves little to be desired.
so sick of tight mini dresses.
She looks good as does the dress but I would never pair it with matching color heels. She should have gone with a pair of gray platform pumps to tone it down a bit..
Dress is fine but she's gotta fix the eye makeup.
i dont really like her shes not always in a good looks!
yucks! she looks old. sign of aging lol! xtina alwys better than her and always looking gorgeous and younger than her!. . . .
Are you serious xtina better looking and younger looking?? Britney looks amazing great body and this is a great look for her. I have four words for ya in reference to xtina … send in the clowns !!!
I think Britney has paid her dues, and has proven she can take what ever comes, people , and Hollywood tried to destroy her put she a survivor, and back bigger then ever, I say whey to go Baby and keep on slugging love ya.

USA | Sarah Palin, 'soccer mom' at a new frontier
Editor's note: An earlier version of this article appears in issue 60 (Nov 08) of So Foot (Paris), a special on American soccer. See "Sarah Palin est-elle une bonne soccer mom?" 76–77.
soccer mom, noun (1987) : a typically suburban mother who accompanies her children to their soccer games and is considered as part of a significant voting bloc or demographic group. (Merriam-Webster Online)
soccer mom : the downfall of human society. (Urban Dictionary)
Surely there have been soccer moms in North America at least since the early 17th century. The difference between the stereotypical image of today—that of a parent who shuttles children to training and matches whilst piloting a vehicle of three tons' throw weight—and the women of the Powhatan Indian settlement of colonial Virginia is that the latter played soccer and did not merely provide transport. A 1609 journal by Henry Spelman, an orthographically challenged 14-year-old from the Jamestown settlement apprenticed to the Powhatan in order to learn the Algonquian language, describes these Americans' favorite recreations. Games included
football play, which women and young boyes doe much play at … the men never. They make ther Gooles as ours only they never fight nor pull one another doune.
A reprint of Games of the North American Indians: Games of Skill by Stewart Culin, originally published in 1907, shows one variation of indigenous football favored by the Koksoagmiut of Labrador: "This ball is very light and is driven either by a blow from the foot or else by a whip of peculiar construction." (© 1992 Board of Regents of the University of Nebraska)
In modern times, the first soccer mom with political ambitions may have been Susan Casey in Denver. In municipal elections in 1995 she campaigned successfully with the slogan "A Soccer Mom for City Council." Sarah Palin, the Alaska governor and Republican vice-presidential nominee, lays claim to this heritage while giving it a new ideological slant. In her national-television debut at the Republican Party convention in early September, she called herself a "hockey mom" and appeared on the dais with five scrubbed children and snowmobile-racing husband, Todd. This was Minnesota, however, part of America's frigid northern tier. Like Michigan, another heavily contested prize in the presidential race, large numbers of residents support ice hockey, the favored winter sport.

I am using the RCG Forest theme for my community blog and it is fantastic! Thank you for creating such a wonderful theme.
One request: can you make the theme responsive so it will look good on mobile devices? Thanks!
The theme needs to be updated, to include some of the new features WordPress provides now. I've started working on a new version more than a year ago, but I had no time to finish it :\
When I update the theme, I'll try to make it responsive. However, I don't know when I'll have time to update it.
How do I remove comments for pages on this theme. Thanks.
Daisy, you can delete comments in the Admin Panel (in the Comments tab), like in other themes.
Hello, I am from China. Thank you for making such a concise theme.
Because the Chinese version of the special platoon habit, I would like to know how to modify the text of paragraph spacing.
I am aware of the need to modify the style.css file, but do not know which line you want to modify specific.
Thank you for advice.
Hello Yimeng,
To change paragraph spacing, go to the CSS block that starts at line 768, and change the margin properties. You can use the values below, for example:
margin: 0 0 28px;
margin: 0 0 2rem;
You may also want to increase line-height (in style.css, around lines 774 and 783, change line-height property value to 2, for example).
Your reply is very timely, and help me solve the problem perfectly.
Thank you.
I wish you happy.
I am using the RCG Forest theme for a new Web Site (this is my first attempt at creating one) and I am really enjoying using it. I have created various pages and child pages so they show up in a Drop down list. However if I click on the top page it always opens up a blank page. Is there a way that I can stop it opening up and only work if I go down to the first or second item in the drop down list? I hope you understand what I am saying and look forward to your reply
For those with the same issue as Peter (previous comment), see this link.
Re my post of the 19th Feb,
Thanks to the reply I had from you it has solved my problem and I doubt whether I would ever have been able to solve this problem without it.
I had spent weeks trying to work out how to stop the "parent" pages (in my header menu) from opening up to show a blank page. All I wanted was for it to only allow the "child" pages in the drop down list to open.
I recommend people to look at the link you gave me that explains how to stop this happening. Go to http://wordpress.org/support/topic/top-level-navigation-item-to-have-no-link#post-2378855 and follow their instructions.

Thanks for the nice theme.
I am using it in my website. I want to set the width of the site at 960 pixels. Currently, the site takes up the whole screen and I can't find the option to set the width (the theme thumbnail shows a preview that doesn't take up the whole screen).
Hi hasan,
You will need to set the
max-width properties of
.site. You can do this editing file
style.css around lines 1278.
Try to set the properties to something like:
max-width: 880px;
max-width: 62.857142857rem;
(There is a padding of 40px on each side, so you get 880px+40px+40px=960px.)

Melissa Hostetler is a Miles Petroleum customer. She buys fuel oil from the company to heat her home during winter. She pre-paid for 500 gallons of oil from the business in April at a cost of $1,762. Last week she got a letter in the mail from Miles Petroleum that the company had closed. There was no refund check for the pre-paid oil.
"I was shocked. This was not anything I expected at all. I just don't understand how you can do this to people and not give anybody any additional information," Hostetler said.
Hostetler is one of many customers who pre-paid more than $1,700 to participate in what the company calls the pre-buy price protection program. Judy Magyar was another.
"When I first got the letter, my thoughts went to 'OK, what about our money?' I want some answers," Magyar said.
She called the company to find out what was going on, but didn't get anywhere.
"So I decided after I thought about it a little bit to call TV 5," Magyar said.
Hostetler reached out to WNEM as well. They both appealed to us to ask the tough questions and get some answers. We went to Miles Petroleum in Merrill to try to get those answers. But when we knocked on the door no one answered, and all that was left was a sign that said closed for business. So we looked around town and after some investigating we found company president Barry Marlow.
"I'm sorry that they had to find out from a letter in the mail. And I wasn't able to give them anymore warning than we we're able to give them. Other than that I really can't say anything else, unfortunately," Marlow said.
We asked Marlow about his customers' money. He said it was uncertain if anyone who pre-paid would see their money again.
"I can't make any promises that I don't know. I don't know how things are going to shake out at this point," Marlow said.
Marlow calls his customers his friends. He says he's fallen on hard economic times. He said he never imagined he'd be in this position where his family would be struggling to make ends meet. And he feels awful that many of his customers are, at least for now, out more than $1,700.
"My wife and I are devastated with how everything came down," Marlow said.
Meanwhile Magyar and Hostetler say they'll take legal action.
"That's money we're never going to see again if we don't pursue it," Hostetler said.
Both Hostetler and Magyar say they have the money to heat their homes this winter but they worry about those who can't afford to write another check for fuel.
"These people work hard and they need that money and going out to find another provider is not an option when you don't have the cash to pay for it," Magyar said.

Americus, Ga. - Oct. 5, 1999 - D.C. Habitat for Humanity will team with ABILITY Magazine to build an affordable, accessible and environmentally sustainable home with Ms. Annie Delois Whren, who has multiple disabilities. The construction of the ABILITY House kicks off with a ground-breaking ceremony on Friday, Oct. 15, at 10 a.m. The construction will take place at 1221 I (Eye) St., S.E. in the Capitol Hill Historic District. Enter the site for the ground-breaking from 1222 Potomac Ave. S.E.
The D.C. ABILITY House is one of a series of new homes being constructed under a national partnership between ABILITY Magazine and Habitat for Humanity International based in Americus, Ga. ABILITY Magazine is a nationally distributed bimonthly publication based in Southern California focusing on issues of disability and human potential. Volunteers with disabilities will lead the effort to build these homes with homeowners with disabilities.
After contributing the required sweat-equity hours, homeowners buy the houses at no profit, through no-interest mortgages from local Habitat for Humanity affiliates. The magazine participates through ABILITY Awareness, its nonprofit project arm that seeks to expand employment opportunities for people with disabilities.
The D.C. ABILITY House is sponsored by United Airlines, The Hartford and The Christopher Reeve Paralysis Foundation and is scheduled for completion in the fall of 2000.
A feature of the Oct. 15 event will be a demonstration by the Bricklayers & Allied Craftworkers Union. The union members will erect a wall using a new lightweight structural block made of "autoclaved aerated concrete" (AAC). This AAC block is made with a high level of salvaged content.
The prospective homeowner, Annie Whren, is a great-grandmother with multiple disabilities who worked countless hours and made numerous personal sacrifices to help support her family following the death of her husband in 1975. Once Ms. Whren moves in, she will have accomplished a lifelong goal of owning her own home.
House design and materials have been researched by GreenHome, a group of environmentally concerned professionals who work with D.C. Habitat for Humanity to build energy efficient and sustainable homes.
Habitat for Humanity International is a nonprofit worldwide, ecumenical Christian organization dedicated to eliminating poverty housing. Habitat for Humanity brings together people with resources and people in need to build simple, decent, affordable houses. The homes are sold to those in need at no profit, through no-interest loans. Founded in 1976 by Millard Fuller along with his wife Linda, Habitat for Humanity has built 80,000 houses, providing shelter for more than 375,000 people worldwide. It has affiliates in every state of the United States and in 63 other countries around the world. D.C. Habitat for Humanity is the Habitat for Humanity affiliate in the U.S. capital.

I was arguing with my wife the other night. We seem to have these constantly and I'm getting used to them, as all is forgotten in the morning. Usually the theme is if I get a little psychotic as I do from time to time. Especially when a life changing event happens, such as the birth of my newborn. Anyway so I lost it a bit. I've come back now and am fine. The Psych increase my dose. So as I was arguing and I think most of you know the history of my in-laws from my past post's. So I said your family are all crazy with the exception of one of her brothers who you can have a normal conversation with.
She said how can you say that your diagnosed with schizo-affective dis-order. So I said and I want to know if this makes sense.
The person who is crazy and does not know or want to admit it, is crazy. The person who is crazy and admits it and seeks professional help, is really not that crazy after all.
I fall into the second category. She said I was talk clap trap and cryptic nonsense. Now call me crazy does that not make perfect sense. When applied to certain members of her family the first of that statement is true. She denied this, we went to bed and nothing more was said. This was four days ago.
I'd just like to know peoples take on this.

Otley MP calls on residents to claim Equitable funds owed
12:00pm Tuesday 7th January 2014 in Local news
An MP is calling on any Wharfedale and Aireborough residents who had pensions with Equitable Life to make sure they claim the compensation they deserve.
The Equitable Life Payments Scheme was set up by the Government in 2011 to pay up to £1.5 billion to victims of the Equitable Life scandal.
Some £600 million has already been paid out but many people, after moving without giving their new address, are unaware of their entitlement.
Greg Mulholland (Lib Dem, Leeds North West) is urging anybody in the consituency, where there are potentially more than 400 people – and up to 200,000 nationally – who have still not claimed, to do so before the compensation scheme ends in 2015.
Anyone who believes they have an eligible policy but has not yet heard about receiving compensation can find out more by calling the 'policychecker' service on 0300 0200 150 or writing to Equitable Life Payment Scheme, PO Box 4110, Glasgow G58 1EL, quoting their full name, address and policy number.
For more information about the scheme, visit tinyurl.com/ELcompensation.

If you were around on New Year's Day and saw the right whale moving south along the coast of Palm Beach County, you're lucky.
I saw the whale around 7:15 a.m. that first day of the new year after dropping off my son to fish at the Juno Beach Pier.
Lots of other people saw the whale, too, as it moved south along the county's coastline.

Part of these trends could be explained by the growing popularity of travel team sports – basketball, baseball, softball, volleyball, lacrosse and soccer – across the country.
For many kids, participation in a tournament schedule of high-level play continues throughout the year, thereby increasing the likelihood of injuries.
In its report, the Committee on Sports-Related Concussions called for an examination of "what's known and what's not" about young people and their sports. It called on organizations such as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, National Institutes of Health, NCAA and National Federation of State High School Associations to coordinate study of sports and produce a list of recommendations.
The committee favors:
- Establishing a national surveillance system to determine the rate of sports-related concussions among youth, and include data on protective equipment, causes and extent of injuries;
- Supporting research to improve concussion diagnosis and create age-specific guidelines for managing concussions;
- Conducting studies on effects of concussions and repetitive head injuries over a lifespan;
- Undertaking a scientific evaluation of the effectiveness of age-appropriate techniques, rules and playing and practice standards in reducing sports-related concussions; and
- Funding research on age- and sex-related risk factors for concussions.
No doubt, research of this magnitude will take a long time to conduct and analyze. There's also the possibility the results could be troubling, especially to traditionalists who think injuries are just part of the game.
Then again, this research might help someone like Olympic gold medalist Briana Scurry, a goalie on the U.S. soccer team, avert head injuries like the one she suffered during a match two years ago. It left her with severe headaches, disrupted sleep, anxiety and depression.
It's fine to encourage boys and girls to compete. It seems only fair that they also understand the risks that are involved in those activities.

The College of Engineering Co-operative Education Program was one of the nation's first and is one of its most renowned. Established in 1919, the Co-op Program integrates classroom work with practical industrial experience. Students combine semesters of school with semesters of employment for at least three alternating work terms once they have completed their sophomore year.
The work is related to some phase of the field of study in which students are engaged and is often diversified to afford a wide range of experience. The objective is balanced training, combining the science of engineering with communications and team-building skills during the early years of professional development.
Student participants have said the program clarifies career goals, applies classroom theory to real-life situations, and provides a source of current and future income. This year, the salary for students entering their first co-op work term ranges from $2,400/month to $3400-plus/month. Upon graduation, many of the corporations hire their co-op students because of their work experience.

The TofR brings fun in the sun: Our View
IT was beautiful.
It was cold. Really, really cold.
The funkily fantastic Roots of Music Marching Crusader band came all the way from Treme in New Orleans to represent the hometown of jazz with the very best in American music.
TV announcers, two decades after simple arithmetic proved them wrong, still insisted on repeating wildly inflated crowd estimates.
The ongoing renovation of the Rose Bowl, if expensive, had the hallowed stadium looking better than ever for the 99th Rose Bowl Game.
The Stanford-Wisconsin game itself was a bit of a snooze, if a nice win for the Cardinal.
It was the 124th annual Tournament of Roses, proving once again that Pasadena is the place where happy new years begin.
Congratulations are in order for TofR President Sally Bixby and newly designated CEO Bill Flinn and all of their troops for successfully pulling off the really big, all-night, all-day party to celebrate the dawn of 2013.
All too few people here and certainly around the world fail to realize that essentially the whole affair is put on by volunteers. The Tournament professional staff is tiny. It's the hundreds of White Suiters who give of their time to make the parade and game happen. Yet we expect nothing less than perfection, and we mostly get it.
Countless other parades and festivals around the nation have fallen by the wayside, or are shadows of their former selves. The Orange Bowl Parade, for instance, was dissolved in 2002 by a 120-1 vote of its leadership committee after it losts its television coverage and failed to attract many live fans. The Floridians just couldn't keep their 62-year-old New Year's Eve tradition afloat. The TofR is going stronger than ever after being around twice that long.
Television is still all over it - and few enough viewers probably realize the local channels and the national and international networks get it all for free, a sweet deal for them. So a quibble about that: Twenty years ago, responding to inquiries after the Pasadena Police Department and the Tournament itself stopped trying to provide accurate crowd estimates, a reporter for this newspaper brought in a Caltech-trained mathematician to make a highly educated guess about how many people line the 5.5-mile route. We counted the ticketed grandstand spectators. We allowed an extremely generous estimate of people standing shoulder to shoulder 10 people deep along the entire route, though in many places it is by no means that deep. The very simple math showed that it is physically impossible for more than 400,000 people to be on Orange Grove and Colorado and Sierra Madre boulevards for the parade. Then we added a fudge factor to account for visitors drifting around: 100,000 more. That's half a million spectators - a lot of people indeed!
It disproved the bogus old estimate of "1 million paradegoers" once and for all. So why on Earth did KTLA parade co-host Bob Eubanks start off his telecast with: "I will tell you there are about 1 million people lining Colorado Boulevard"? Why did the station's Lu Parker later that evening declare there were "700,000-plus" in attendance? Where did they get these numbers? Not from the Tournament or police, officials say. So they made them up. In that case, why do these journalists give numbers at all?
The Tournament of Roses makes up - in the very best sense of the phrase - a great parade and football game every New Year's Day, providing entertainment for the nation and the world. Bixby's grand marshal choice of naturalist Jane Goodall was a stellar selection that sets the bar high for incoming President Scott Jenkins, a huge football fan who will oversee the 100th Rose Bowl Game.
Thanks, White Suiters, for all the fun you bring to Southern California.

The Bradford, N.H. native had quite the outstanding year capturing the long jump at the Indoor NCAA's in Columbus, Ohio. He also finished fourth in the triple jump indoors.
Outdoors, he finished fourth in the long jump and 10th in the triple jump nationally, thus becoming a three-time All-American in 2010-2011.
He was also named the Most Outstanding Field Performer at the ECAC Outdoor Championships in May.
The junior is a sport management major, and owns a 3.54 GPA. Coyle's award was the second time in the past two years that a Springfield College athlete received a similar USTFCCCA award. Steve Headley was named the USTFCCCA Division III National Indoor Track Scholar Athlete of the Year in 2010..
Meanwhile, besides Coyle, three other Springfield College student-athletes were named Scholar Athletes for the 2011 season. They were seniors Kevin Behlmer (Attleboro, Mass.), Brian Fuller (Ludlow, Mass.), and Christopher Quetant (Milford, Conn.).
In addition, Springfield College was named USTFCCCA All-Academic as a team in the 2010-2011 year.

Guillen out with pinched nerve in back
Tigers third baseman day-to-day after undergoing MRI
DETROIT -- Tigers third baseman Carlos Guillen said an MRI exam he underwent on Tuesday night revealed a pinched nerve in his lower back. He will rest for the next two or three days before considering a return to the lineup.
Tigers manager Jim Leyland doesn't know when to anticipate Guillen's return.
"No idea," Leyland said in a swift pregame press session.
Guillen, who has experienced back trouble twice in the last six days, reported numbing pain in his right lower back, right leg and right foot. He said he has trouble lifting his right leg, which hinders his ability to run and hit.
A three-time All-Star, Guillen said he has felt the pain for about one week, but the pain just recently became unbearable.
Ramon Santiago started at third in place of Guillen in Wednesday's game against the Blue Jays. Brandon Inge and Ryan Raburn represent other options Leyland could use while one of his team leaders recovers.

Richard and Virginia Eisenhart Provost's Award for Excellence in Teaching
Teaching excellence has been formally recognized at RIT since 1965, when the Awards for Outstanding Teaching and their accompanying ceremony were established. The scope of the awards program was broadened in 1967 to include Distinguished Young Teachers. The program was further expanded in 1975 to better recognize the diversity of RIT's education by providing a maximum of four awards to faculty members from various educational disciplines. Although the program has changed, the reasons behind the awards have not: to encourage the professional growth and development of RIT faculty and specifically recognize those members of the academic body who contribute most to enhance student learning. The late M. Herbert Eisenhart, former president and board chairman of Bausch & Lomb, Inc., was a member of RIT's Board of Trustees for more than 50 years. His contributions to RIT during that span were countless, and he was the recipient of the RIT Founders Awards in 1971. His commitment to RIT was further evidenced by his generous bequest that created the M. Herbert and Elsa Bausch Eisenhart Endowment Fund, which provides permanence to the Eisenhart Awards for Outstanding Teaching as well as a major scholarship fund.

Lipscomb's mayor is threatening a lawsuit after Brighton police arrested him in Lipscomb.
Mayor Lance McDade says he believes the arrest stems from his firing of a Lipscomb firefighter earlier this year. That firefighter is now a first responder in Brighton, who assisted in a fire Monday night.
The mayor says, that firefighter told a Brighton police officer to make the arrest and the officer told Brighton's police chief the mayor was being argumentative and was interfering with the scene.
Mayor McDade has contacted his attorney and will discuss possible legal action against Brighton.

Connie Lineberry among winners at WithIt WOW Awards
August 25, 2011-- Home Accents Today,
RALEIGH, N.C. - WithIt presented its 2011 WOW Awards during a dinner and reception event Wednesday. WOW Awards recognize the leadership achievements of exemplary individuals and/or companies who embody the organization's mission, according to a press release from WithIt.
Connie Lineberry, vice president of marketing, Sandow Media Retail Group, earned the inaugural Leadership Award. WithIt created the Leadership Award to recognize the contributions of a woman over age 40 who has demonstrated successful leadership in her company, WithIt and/or the home furnishings industry.
"At Furniture/Today, Connie created a Marketing Services Department that today serves more than 450 companies in the furniture, accessory, textiles and gift industries," said Tom Mitchell, president of home furnishings for International Market Centers, upon presenting the award. "She has become known as the go-to person in the industry for the 'next big idea.'"
Aminy Audi, CEO and president of L. & J.G. Stickley, was presented the 2011 Legacy Award, celebrating Audi's lifetime contributions to the home and furnishings industry.
"As I accept this award, I want to acknowledge my late husband, Alfred, with whom I was fortunate enough to share the journey of revitalizing the Stickley brand," Audi said. "For the Stickley team, no task is impossible, no deadline is unattainable and no mountain is too high to climb."
Lauren West, director of communications for Natuzzi Americas Inc., recieved the 2011 Education Award for her efforts to educate associates, retailers and/or consumers about home furnishings.
"Lauren's educational experience in this industry is wide ranging," said Brad Cates, senior vice president for Natuzzi Group. "She developed and implemented our company's retail sales training system, which has trained 2,400 associates to date. Plus, she works with students during markets and educates the consumer through social and online media channels."
Peggy Burns of Circle Furniture received the 2011 Mentoring Award, which recognizes an executive who has fostered advocacy, development or promotion of women in his or her company.
"Peggy puts her heart and soul into everything she does, and this is most apparent in the way she helps others to reach their potential," said Richard Tubman, Burns' husband and business partner.
The 2011 Future Leader Award was presented to Tammy Nagem, COO of the High Point Market Authority.
"Tammy has made significant operational improvements so that the logistics of the show are effortless, and the concentration is placed on the real focus of the High Point Market - new home furnishings products and trends," said Kevin O'Connor with Samson Marketing, upon presenting the award. "I doubt if there are many in this industry who work with as many diverse constituencies in performing their job as Tammy does: City and state officials, civic groups, service providers, manufacturers, building owners, retailers and more."
The 2011 President's Award went to WithIt Regional Vice President Kassie Smith of Kassie Smith Lifestyle Group.
Also, WithIt announced that Breanne Lutz, an interior design student at Meredith College, is the recipient of the 2011 Jena and Stephen Hall Scholarship, which awards $5,000 to a student to cover tuition expense.

Sales of portable GPS units have fallen, but plenty of people aredownloading navigation apps to get where they're going. Consumer Reportstests some of the latest GPS apps for your smart phone.
Navigation apps are getting better than ever, says Consumer Reports. Somesport features like reality view to show major intersections … or celebrityvoices that you can download for some laughs.
If you own an Android phone, you're in luck. It comes with free Googlenavigation built right in. And it has turn-by-turn directions, just like you'dfind on a regular GPS.
But if you're an iPhone user, you need to download an app to get GPS-stylenavigation.
Jim Travers/Consumer Reports: "There are plenty of free options available, but we've found you tend to get what you pay for."
Consumer Reports says you can't go wrong buying an app from one of theGPS giants — TomTom, Garmin, Navigon and Magellan.
Jim Travers/Consumer Reports: "It's no surprise that the companies whose GPS navigators do best in our testing also make some of the top apps for the iPhone."
But expect to pay up to 60 dollars for a quality, name-brand app. And knowthat the download can eat up a chunk of your iPhone's memory.
And no matter which phone you have, be aware that most have smallerscreens than portable GPS units. And you'll have to factor in the cost of amount and a charger to make the most of your smart-phone navigator.
Consumer Reports says the price of apps fluctuates, but you can save byshopping for sales, or by limiting your download to a specific region — say,maps of the East Coast.
And a word about safety — no matter how you choose to navigate, pull overand come to a full stop whenever you program your device.

If He Walks Like a Muslim and Talks Like a Muslim…
by omnipotentpoobah, Fri Aug 20, 2010 at 06:07:27 PM EDT
HEATHEN! – I'm not saying he's a Muslim, but he sure looks to be a born one to me.
There's nothing surprising about recent poll numbers indicating more people are "confused" about The Messiah's™ true religion than ever before. They aren't confused. Somewhere in that lump of random matter that passes for their brains they know the truth. They're just being aggressively ignorant. They're willingly allowing themselves to become the peas in a big chaos theory shell game.
The shills are the usual suspects on these types of things. Orly Taitz still draws a crowd, even after the Supremes slapped her down. The Grizzly Whisperer™ still has a big, fact-challenged following. Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton are always on the scene when something "ethnic" needs to be opined upon – even if it's not about their ethnic group. But the gold standard in national matters of religion are the Grahams – first, daddy Billy and now, son Franklin.
Running Like Ecclesiastical Chickens
For my money, Frank doesn't have nearly the panache of the old man. I can remember when Billy laid hands on people. By God, they'd walk, hell, run like ecclesiastical chickens with their heads cut off. Ernest Angley couldn't hold a candle to them, even with the help of his "miracle healing cloth", free with every $19.99 donation. But what Frank lacks in genetic charlatanism he more than makes up for with the greasy rhetorical skills of a Newt Gingrich or any random member of the Fox & Friends staff.
When CNN's John King asked about Obama's Christian bona fides, Frank didn't bat an eye while calling Obama a part-time Christian, but true born Muslim.
"The seed is passed through the father," Frank said. "He was born a Muslim. His father was a Muslim; the seed of Muslim is passed through the father like the seed of Judaism is passed through the mother…his father gave him an Islamic name."
Case closed, except for that little conversion loophole.
"But the confusion is because his father is a Muslim; he was born a Muslim. The Islamic world sees the president as one of theirs. That's why Qadhafi calls him his son. They see him as a Muslim," he said. "But, of course, the president says he is a Christian, and we just have to accept it as that, " he added skeptically.
"We just have to accept it as that." Accepting as in the way we file lawsuits to make him repeatedly produce birth certificates or prove he doesn't want to throw all of his detractors in FEMA-run concentration camps.
Latching Onto the Christian Fakir
See, Frank and his ilk know that truth isn't really important if you want to control the conversation. As long as you mix that smidge of doubt with a spoonful of sugary Kool Aid mix, people will want to believe. That's why millions of otherwise sane people shower this dunderdick with donations and prayer requests. They have troubles, real troubles, so they'll latch onto anything that puts their minds at rest – even if he is some sort of Christian fakir.
"Them danged Mooslums want to build one of them heathen moss-quet things up at Ground Zero. That just chaps me raw," they might say. "I wish I knew who was boin' all this so I could keep and eye on 'em"
And there, on the TV machine, is Franklin Graham. He's possessed of a golden, silken tongue and he's telling Mabel and Irv that the culprit is that damn half-breed Muslim/faux Christian President. "Far be it from me to say he's a heathen," he implies. "He SAYS he's a Christian so we'll just have to take his word, but (in a tiny voice) you know those Muslims lie a lot".
Ignorance of this type has been around since the dawn of man – whether you believe that happened 400,000 years ago or 6,000 years ago. And shit-slingers like the Grahams have been around just as long, serving up streaming heaps of the best crap people want to believe.
So don't be surprised at events like this. They will happen as long as there are people who want to volunteer as idiots and marginally smarter people who want to enable them.
And the worst part is the rubes refuse to see that shit for shinola is a lose/lose bet.
