The UTMB School of Medicine has announced the five finalists who were selected by their peers in the graduating class to receive the prestigious 2011 Gold-Headed Cane Award, the highest honor bestowed upon a graduating medical student. The winner's name will be announced at the June 4 commencement ceremonies for the school.
The Gold-Headed Cane Award has a long tradition at UTMB. Dr. Charles T. Stone Sr., professor emeritus of internal medicine, established the award in 1960. A gold ring engraved with the newest recipient's name is added to the staff of the cane to commemorate the occasion.The cane is on permanent display at the Moody Medical Library; recipients receive a replica.
"To be nominated by your peers for the Gold-Headed Cane Award is an extraordinary honor, and I am immensely proud of these finalists," said Dr. Garland D. Anderson, dean of medicine, executive vice president and provost of the School of Medicine. "They are not only quite accomplished, they have demonstrated to their fellow students their compassion for patients and others, and represent the best of the healing profession."
The UTMB tradition honors the 18th century practice of presenting a gold-headed cane to the pre-eminent physician in English society. One such cane was continuously carried from 1689 to 1825 by five distinguished British physicians and now resides in the Royal College of Physicians in London.
Heather M. Relyea Ashley
Heather Relyea Ashley, the daughter of missionary linguists, spent her childhood growing up in the remote Papua New Guinean rainforest among the Aruamu tribe. She describes being exposed at an early age to the affects of living with inadequate medical care.
"With little to no health care available, both my friends and my family combated life-threatening illnesses. I remember holding living room clinics for my dolls who contracted the deadly diseases I saw around me: malaria, tuberculosis and meningitis. Watching friends die was merely part of the society in which I grew up," Relyea Ashley said.
Two life events — undergoing spinal fusion surgery at the age of 14 and the sudden death of her father, who suffered a heart attack in Papua New Guinea with no access to medical care — solidified her desire to become a doctor.
"These two events served as catalysts for me, spurring me to become a physician capable of caring for adults and children, as well as to engage in the marathon that is preventative medicine," she said.
Relyea Ashley said as she progressed through medical school she was "drawn to those rotations that allowed long-term relationships with patients. I was deeply impressed by the attending physicians who practiced humanistic medicine, artfully combining solid science with love for the patient; I wanted to emulate these examples. I was enamored in particular with two fields: internal medicine and pediatrics. They seemed to encompass all that I had envisioned in medicine."
Relyea Ashley will serve a combined residency in internal medicine and pediatrics at University Hospital in Cincinnati, Ohio.
Darvy Mann
Darvy Mann's second careeer choice was teaching. He worked as a high school physics teacher during his final year of college and said he "realized as a pediatrician I would have an opportunity to practice medicine and still be a teacher."
Mann recently completed a study that looked at attitudes of health care professionals toward the inmate patient population, saying that "through this study, I was able to further show my strong feeling that as physicians, we are personally responsible for each and every patient that we encounter and for all of those people who are ill. It is this responsibility that drives me to be a primary care physician. I want to help patients to feel secure in their health from their social situation to the medical problems."
Through his work with the Rene Laennec Osler Student Society and the Gold Humanism Honor Society, Mann has participated in many community service activities. He says that these experiences have helped him to "better understand the situations that plague many of the patients I encountered in the UTMB clinics and hospitals. Even more important than the UTMB patients, I learned to see the plight of those people who could not access care. I truly love reaching out to those in the most need."
Mann will serve his residency in pediatrics at the Medical College of Wisconsin Affiliated Hospital in Milwaukee, Wis.
Mary Chandler Rainey
Mary Chandler Rainey says she believes that the most important duty every medical student faces is determining what it means to be a doctor.
Rainey describes medicine as "an art of balancing scientific knowledge with compassion and, in the words engraved on the Gold-Headed Cane, 'humility, humanity and fidelity.'" Rainey says that her experience at UTMB taught her that balance — "as a teaching environment, it gave me a solid foundation in science on which to practice evidence-based medicine throughout my career, but it also provided faculty who served as role models with their interest in the welfare of the patient."
Rainey participated in many volunteer opportunities during her time at UTMB, including serving as director of the Patient Assistance Program at St. Vincent's Clinic where she worked with drug companies to get medications donated to underpriviledged patients. Rainey also was instrumental in creating a patient library and and bibliotherapeutic program called Books-to-Bedside, collecting more than 7,000 books for UTMB patients and their families.
She says her goal as a doctor is to "find the balance of medicine as an art, one held up by the three pillars of the Gold-Headed Cane Award, and I am honored to be recognized by my peers as someone on that track."
Rainey will serve her residency in psychiatry at Einstein/Beth Israel Medical Center in New York, N.Y.
Phillip Scott
Phillip Scott interned at a local hospital in West Africa for two months, providing first aid to orphans and says that this first encounter with providing medical care for children changed his life.
"This experience opened my eyes to the tremendous health needs of our global community and is one of the main reasons I joined the global health track at UTMB. I wanted to gain greater insight and training in practicing medicine in an international setting in hopes of eventually applying this knowledge and experience in orphanages around the world," Scott said.
Scott, the oldest of five boys, says his volunteer work mentoring youth at summer camps and his sense of duty to children around him has led him into the field of pediatrics.
"In high school, I spent my summers working as a camp counselor. I was responsible for the physical, emotional, and mental well being of four to six children, from morning to night, for one week at a time. During college and medical school, I mentored people younger than me through various programs at church and school," Scott said. "All of these experiences have given me a greater sense of how to communicate with children on their level and understand their unique needs, which will be a great asset as I encounter children in a medical setting where they may be scared or hurting."
Scott describes a defining moment in his medical school experience with a tiny pediatric patient that he will never forget, saying the patient "was a neonate born at 22 weeks gestation. I rushed to the Labor and Delivery Department with the newborn nursery team when she was born to find a baby only slightly larger than my hand. She was the embodiment of both the beauty, and also the fragility of life. It's exciting to think that as a pediatrician I will be part of saving the lives of such patients."
Scott will serve his residency in pediatrics at Texas Tech University Affiliate in Lubbock, Texas.
Karen Sargent
Karen Sargent recalls a moment of clarity that came to her, saying that "the constant, rapid, soft tones of the fetal heart left me amazed and excited on the very first day of my obstetrics and gynecologist rotation. Later that day, I met the 19 -year-old who presented to clinic for a routine prenatal checkup at 24 weeks gestation; she had a history of postpartum depression and a lack of social support. As I sat listening to the struggles she faced as a single mother, I experienced a moment of eureka and began to feel very excited; I suddenly realized that I had met the representative of my ideal patient population."
She credits her work as a summer camp counselor with creating a strong desire to work with adolescents and ultimately seek a career in obstetrics and gynecology.
"Summer after summer, I would meet teenage girls who appeared very well groomed and responsible on the outside, yet they were internally fighting diseases of substance abuse, eating disorders, and low self-esteem. I realized that a career in obstetrics and gynecologist would provide me the opportunity to encourage not only good physical health, but also mental health as well. Also, with the rise in teenage pregnancies, further opportunities exist to be the confidante a patient needs during hard times, to promote feelings of self-respect and self-worth, and to help women feel healthy."
Sargent says she relishes the surgical aspects of a career as a obstetrician and gynecologist to "not only provide for surgical intervention but also provide the opportunity to correct a patient's anemia for dysfunctional uterine bleeding, to increase a couple's chance of having a child, or walk with a woman through the fears that her radical hysterectomy will make her feel 'less of a woman.' Being in the operating room also reinforces the skills needed to practice medicine such as leadership, humility, and the ability to work with others as a team."
Sargent will serve her residency in obstetrics and gynecology at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, Texas.

Greater Chicago Chapter Grant
Northwestern University
How will your research ultimately be used to change the lives of people with arthritis?
My research will change the lives of people with scleroderma in that no therapies exist to prevent or reverse skin fibrosis that is so disabling to patients. If imatinib can help patients with skin fibrosis, patients will benefit.
Do you have a personal connection with arthritis that makes the disease more than a statistic to you?
Several patients thoughout my training have suffered from scleroderma and I witnessed first-hand how horrible that disease can be. It is a crime there are no good therapies to help patients.
What role do you feel the Arthritis Foundation plays in the progress of arthritis research?
The AF helps support up-and-coming researchers. It is very competitive to receive a large NIH grant: it also takes time to learn how to write a fundable grant. The AF provides support to young investigators with the desire to make meaningful contributions to research by supporting research that will enable investigators to obtain larger NIH grants in the future.
What mysteries surrounding arthritis interest you most?
Why do fibroblasts continue to produce collagen in the skin and internal organs of patients with scleroderma.
When you're not in the lab or clinic, where can you most often be found?
At home, with my husband and three beautiful daughters who all love to laugh.
What hobby do you most enjoy?
What non-medical book have you enjoyed lately?
Kite Runner.
What is your favorite style of music and band or musician?
Pearl Jam
If you weren't a medical researcher, what would you be doing now?
I have wanted to be a doctor since the age of three when I watched Emergency One everyday. But, if I were not a researcher, I think I would have become an adviser for health care policy locally, nationally or internationally.

The Florida Gators probably didn't intend for their season to end just down the road in Tampa. But that's exactly what they'll do after accepting a bid to the Outback Bowl.
The Outback Bowl has hosted the Gators more than a few times in recent years — Florida played in the game in 2002, 2003, and 2005 — and Florida tends to end up in its home state when the Gators aren't in a BCS bowl.
Furthermore, Florida suiting up against Penn State in the bowl, which will take place on New Year's Day at Raymond James Stadium.
The game will pit Urban Meyer against Joe Paterno for the first time, and match Florida and Penn State in a bowl game for the first time since 1997. The Gators won that year's matchup in the Florida Citrus Bowl, beating the Nittany Lions 21-6 and holding a team without suspended running back Curtis Enis in check.

text: Antoine Hicks, the Mansfield-Timberview recruit in the Longhorns 2009 recruiting class failed to qualify to play for Texas, according to Scout ($). Hicks played some quarterback in high school, but I'm pretty sure he was offered as an athlete, though Scout lists him at receiver. He only ran a 4.69 in high school, so he doesn't exactly have blazing speed or anything close to the speed to play receiver. As a three-star prospect (per Scout), I don't think this is a big loss for the Horns. He's only six feet tall and without any speed, it's hard to imagine what position he would have played for Texas. Considering the upcoming scholarship crunch and need for attrition (particularly if any of Winston, Kirkpatrick, Kennard, or Kelly commit), I think overall this isn't anything to be concerned about.

After a devastating storm last night, the city of South Bend is dealing with a lot of clean-up.
Most of the damage hit the Northwest side of the city, so the it is best to avoid those roads.
The city of South Bend says it will take days to clean-up all of the downed trees, but they can't clean up everything.
If you have a tree down in your yard and doesn't hang into the road, you'll have to take care of it on your own.
The Director of Transportation, Paul South, says don't assume the city already knows if there's a tree down on your street.
"If you see a tree that's not being addressed that needs to be addressed please call 311. It's been online since March," says South.
311 is a number for South Bend City Services.You can call 311 to report damage, or just ask a question. The number only works within the city limits, but if you live in South Bend and need to call the number you can dial 574-233-0311.

At the start of the new tax filing season, some taxpayers are heeding warnings to file early to foil identity thieves in the massive tax refund fraud scheme.
"We had people lined up at the door today when we opened," said Jeremiah Greer, an office manager for the Jackson Hewitt Tax Service offices in Gulfport.
Even before the first day of filing on Jan. 30, about 175 taxpayers had already turned in their returns at the office, to make sure they were part of the first batch to go out. All the returns sent so far have gone through, Greer said.
Some of the early filers just wanted to get their tax refunds as soon as possible, but others were specifically concerned about beating the fraudsters to the finish line, Greer said. After one return is accepted under a certain identity, a second one using that same name and social security number would be blocked.
"It's definitely a race to get in there and get your tax return filed as soon as possible to prevent that from happening," Greer said.
Natasha Moultrie said she turned in her return several weeks ago, and checked back with the office today to make sure it went through.
"It's a lot of identity theft stuff going on and I didn't want to get caught up in all of that because I'm sure it's really hard for people to get out of that type of situation," she said.
Moultrie said she's counting on her refund to pay bills, buy a car and take her mother "somewhere nice."

Their new business, Body of Royalty, was launcehd three months ago, taking web-orders on a line of bold colored lipsticks.
They say there's a market confident women who want to make a statmenet with their makeup.
"We wanted to have something with a lot of color; a lot of pop," says Chargois, "Definately, fashion forward women who aren't afraid to rock a little color."
While the new business works out the kinks, they'll stick with the lipstick and plan to expand the product line in the future.

Senate puts Vt. on verge of nation's first GMO label lawBy Neal P. Goswami
VERMONT PRESS BUREAU | April 16,2014MONTPELIER The Vermont Senate gave preliminary approval Tuesday to legislation that requires foods containing genetically modified ingredients to be labeled as such.
The 26-2 vote sets Vermont on a course to become the first state to require labeling of GMOs. The House passed a similar version of the bill, H.112, last year.
The legislation passed by the Senate would take effect July 1, 2016; the House version would kick in July 1 of this year.
Two other states Connecticut and Maine have passed labeling laws, but theirs require other states to do the same before they take effect.
Three state Senate committees Agriculture, Judiciary and Appropriations worked to craft a bill that will provide Vermonters more information about the foods they eat. Committee members also looked to make the proposed law as defensible in court as possible. It is widely believed that the first state to enact a GMO labeling bill will be sued.
Sen. David Zuckerman, P-Chittenden, vice chairman of the Agriculture Committee, said labeling will be the responsibility of the producer.
We made it clear that the labeling requirement is on the manufacturer of the food, on the processed, packaged food. Its not the retail store obligation to label what is and whats not, he told his colleagues.
He said food manufacturers that do not want to carry a label indicating that GMOs may be present will need to secure affidavits from the suppliers of their ingredients stating they are free of GMOs.
Sen. Richard Sears, D-Bennington, chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, said his panel tried to make sure that as best as possible the state would be able to defend against a potential lawsuit.
He said if the courts strike down the law they would be saying the consumer doesnt have a right to know whats in their food.
The Judiciary Committee added to the legislation a special fund that is aimed at helping the state defend the law. Sears said Attorney General William Sorrell has estimated it would cost at least $1 million to fight an industry lawsuit.
The fund would accept private donations but could also be filled with settlement money secured by the attorney generals office.
There is no way that we can say, No. 1, that we would prevail should we be sued, but I think we have given ourselves the best opportunity to prevail, should it arise, Sears said.
Sen. Kevin Mullin, R-Rutland, asked if the attorney general had figured the odds of prevailing in court should the state be sued.
I dont believe the attorney general is a gambler, Sears replied. I dont know how he could develop odds any more than we can.
However, Sears said if the state loses it could cost between $5 million and $8 million if it has to pay the legal fees of the prevailing party.
Sen. Peg Flory, R-Rutland, one of two senators to vote against the bill, noted that several groups, including the World Health Organization and the National Academy of Sciences, have said that theres no scientific justification for special labels.
Flory asked if the three committees that reviewed the bill considered labeling the 20 percent or so of food products that do not contain GMOs, rather than the overwhelming majority of products that do.
Zuckerman said that would be problematic because there is currently no agreed-upon definition of a natural product. And he said the cost to determine something does not contain GMOs is actually more expensive than the other way.
Sen. Norm McAllister, R-Franklin, also voted against the bill. He said people have the right to know what is in their food but that the bill wouldnt accomplish that.
McAllister, a farmer, said he uses GMO products because he believes they are environmentally safer. He said the passionate opposition to GMOs stems from misinformation that the public heard.
Thats what theyve been told, or thats what theyve heard, he said. Its a scare tactic, as far as Im concerned, and thats why I dont support it.
Advocates, some of whom have worked for decades to pass such legislation, hailed the Senate vote as a major victory.
Today the Senate stood up for the vast majority of Vermonters who want to see genetically engineered foods labeled, said Falko Schilling, a consumer protection advocate with the Vermont Public Interest Research Group. Vermont is once again leading the nation by acknowledging the important fact that everyone has a right to know what they are eating.
Andrea Stander, director of Rural Vermont, also hailed the vote.
This is a victory for everyone who eats, Stander said. It is fitting that Vermont, where we take food seriously, is on the way to becoming the first state in the U.S. to require that genetically engineered foods be labeled.
The bill is up for final approval in the Senate today before heading back to the House, where minor differences between the two versions must be reconciled.

Browns franchise kicker Phil Dawson
An NFL source told the Cleveland Plain Dealer that the Browns have applied the franchise tag to Phil Dawson. This is the second consecutive year that the Browns have franchised Dawson, which means he'll earn 120% of what he did the previous year. It's estimated to cost the Browns approximately $3.8 million for the kicker.

An article in the Well blog section of last Sunday's New York Times reported on a study published in the peer-reviewed American Journal of Preventive Medicine that suggests eating fish is associated with a healthy increase in brain volume, but it is apparently not because of its omega-3 fatty acids content.
Just as eyelids, jowls, breasts, bellies and chins sag with the aging process, apparently so does our ocular surface tissue.The somewhat intimidating term used to describe yet another degenerative aging event is called conjunctivochalasis.
Flavonoids, also called bioflavonoids and classified as phytochemicals, were once called vitamin P, based on the clinically suggested effect they have on the permeability of capillaries. Unfortunately, that name fell out of favor a number of years ago.

As creatures of habit, we often develop tendencies that aren't good for us. They hold us back and limit our ability to be successful. The fact is, we are ALL capable of doing more. When we know how to tap into what already lives inside us and replace negative behaviors with positive ones, we can truly thrive.
Jesse Dylan gives Bev Flaxington the ultimate compliment on Good Life Revolution: "For years, I've been behind the microphone…From Deepak Chopra to Sanjay Gupta to the Dalai Lama, but you've got a gift. You've got a great way of communicating with people. I just think you're uber talented." Listen to the entire interview
How do we know which patterns are limiting us and how do we relearn behaviors? Others can tell us what we need to do, but change can be difficult and so we struggle to do it.
This is why I have spent the last 25 years of my career studying the nature of our human behavior. It's my goal to share how our propensities don't always work in our best interests, and to provide the knowledge to leverage the gifts that already live inside each person. My desire is to help you learn how to access the behaviors that will lead to positive change and a better quality of life.

Admin section not working in Firefox after upgrade
10 May 2009 at 10:53am
I recently upgraded from 2.2.3 to 2.3.1 and I've got a weird problem. The admin section works fine in Safari (on Mac), but not in Firefox (3.0.10, same computer). I've cleared the cache, restarted, flushed the server cache, and even changed the "browser.cache.check_doc_frequency" Firefox setting so it will get a new version every time, and still it's not working.
The issue is when you click a page to edit it, the AJAX fires off and downloads the new editor window, but it never actually loads the content. The "loading" spinner just loads forever. If I reload the page, the page I clicked on loads up (I believe a cookie is dropped). So, it's like it's working... almost. I can use Firebug to look at the result returned from the server and it appears to be there.
Any ideas? A couple of other posts sound similar, but they were related to language settings or updating a file manager. I doubt that's the problem here as it works in one browser but not another.
Thanks in advance!

Have you tried loading Firefox in Safe Mode? That will help root out any extensions that might be causing the problem.
Re: Admin section not working in Firefox after upgrade
11 May 2009 at 2:30pm
Good suggestion!
I just tried it, and am getting the same result.
I dug out my laptop running Linux, and Firefox is doing the same thing. The common denominator seems to be that I updated the Mac and my laptop to run Firefox 3.0.10 recently. I wonder if there is a bug related to that in one of the JS libraries that SilverStripe uses...?
The fact that I upgraded SilverStripe recently could just be a red herring.

I've upgraded from 2.2.3 to 2.3.1 and it works fine with Firefox 3.0.10 on my install. Could it be related to some specific configuration you've done? Also, have you tried deleting the contents of the silverstripe-cache folder?
Re: Admin section not working in Firefox after upgrade
12 May 2009 at 1:31am
We also use SilverStripe at work (although we only just got started, so there was no upgrade involved), and FF 3.0.10 works fine here. So, there must be something wonky with the other setup.
I had not tried deleting the cache files directly as I thought that's what ?flush=all did. I just went in and deleted it manually, and I still get the same result.
Actually, we're having another issue with our web host as well. It's possible this is related. I'll wait until they fix that before worrying about this problem any more.
Thanks for your suggestions!

Tips and Guidelines for Reporting Severe Weather
In times of severe weather, your reports will become invaluable to providing "ground truth" and conditions in your community.
Any significant reports (damage, sightings etc) you pass along to the First Alert Weather Team are immediately passed to the National Weather Service. These reports can help in verification, issuance of warnings, or potentially life saving information to folks in the path of dangerous weather.
What's important?
If you think it's important, it probably is. The more detail and information you can provide, the better. But here are a few guidelines.
Location : Be as specific as possible. County, city and street are all important! An actual address or intersection is better. Remember, some roads are very long! Saying Highway 17 gives no indication of where something occurred.
Time/Duration : Try and give as specific a time of the event as you can (if possible). The duration can also be important for hail or wintry precipitation.
Rain : Rainfall totals, duration and intensity of rain
Flooding : Streets closed? How much water is covering road? Is it impassable?
Trees/limbs down : How big are the limbs or trees? Were they healthy trees? What type of tree?
Hail : Size of hail (Use standardized descriptors (dime size, quarter size, golf ball size). Do not say marble-sized hail (marbles can be all kinds of different sizes!).
Winds : If you have a wind instrument that gives you numbers GREAT! Unless you are a pro at wind estimates, leave it to the sensors.
Structural Damage : Be specific on location and severity. Was it an old structure? Or fairly new?
Winter Weather : For snow, sleet and freezing rain, start and end times are important. Also, any change between precipitation type. Of course, depth of snow or sleet is desired.
The National Weather Service offers severe weather storm spotting training sessions at various times throughout the year (mainly in Spring). These sessions can help to fine tune your spotting skills. They also have programs like CoCoRaHS if you enjoy reporting rainfall or snowfall from your home weather station.

Check Out Europe's Housing Bubble Country-by-Country >
Nordic and Western European countries such as Norway and Switzerland have attracted strong investment inflows due to their perceived economic safe-haven statuses, serving to further inflate these countries' preexisting property bubbles that had expanded from the mid-1990s until 2008.
With their overheated economies and ballooning property bubbles, today's safe-haven European countries may very well be tomorrow's Greeces and Italys.
I've named this massive multi-country housing bubble "The Post-2009 Northern and Western European Housing Bubble."
(The Post-2009 Northern and Western European Housing Bubble is a part of the overall Post-2009 Global Housing Bubble or "Housing Bubble 2.0″ that I've identified.)

Tampa police released photos Friday afternoon of a bicycle found at the scene where a security officer was shot to death Wednesday night.
They want to talk to the owner of the bike; detectives are hoping the owner can shed more light on what happened Wednesday night.
(If you recognize it, call TPD at 813-231-6130.)
The officer, Michael Valentin, may have only worked for Critical Intervention Services for a month, but he certainly left his mark.
"He was a very happy guy, he was a fun guy to work with, talked about his family a lot," said Critical Intervention Services CEO K.C. Poulin.
Valentin was gunned down while providing security at the Grande Oaks Apartments Wednesday night. He leaves behind a wife and two young sons.
Tampa police have not caught a suspect in this case, but say they are working around the clock to bring that person to justice.
"The lead detective didn't have Thanksgiving with his family. He has not been home to spend the holidays with his family because he wants to make an arrest in this case," said Tampa Police spokeswoman Andrea Davis.
Back at Critical Intervention Services, Poulin says Valentin's co-workers are taking his loss hard.
"A lot of guys are beating themselves up right now that they could have been there, they should have been there, 'I was two minutes away from there, I could have done this, I could have done that.' In the end it's not true. You can't be there for everything all the time," Poulin said.
This isn't the first time his company has had to deal with tragedy. In May of 2011, CIS officer Mathew Little was also gunned down on duty.
"We lost two in the last year and a half, both in the same circumstances," Poulin said.
Little was working the Mariners Point Apartments in St. Petersburg when he was killed. Poulin says the company is always reviewing the training their officers receive, but stopped short of saying a lack of training led to either death.
"Training doesn't stop that stuff from happening. Risk can't be eliminated, it's just impossible," said Poulin. "Sometimes, you know, evil has the upper hand."
CIS employs roughly 300 armed officers in the Tampa area, Orlando and West Palm Beach.
Poulin says all their officers come with prior law enforcement, military, at least two years of security experience or a college degree in law enforcement.
Valentin had ten years of experience as a public safety officer.

So I am wanting to finally deck out the basement in my place and want to make the sweetest Black and Gold Hawkeye "Man Cave." I was wondering if anyone has any advice on places to go or even examples of there basements or pads that are decked out? I want to do it big! I was searching online and can't tell which businesses that are making Hawkeye products are legit. I obviously would prefer if the company I'm buying all my stuff from is in Iowa to support local business. Only thing I found was Hawkeye Products. Does anybody know of them? Here is there website like they have some cool tables. Also am looking for other products too like sofas, chairs, etc.

Where are the bald eagles?
A new survey shows Indiana has half as many eagles as this time last year.
Experts say unseasonably warm weather is keeping the birds from migrating south.
Earlier this month, wildlife officials counted 103 bald eagles in Indiana.
Over the past 30-years, the bald eagle population has grown dramatically across the country.
The U.S Fish and Wildlife Service plans to remove the bald eagle from the threatened species list next month.

I bought a pair of these a few years back now, from…
Price Paid: £45
I bought a pair of these a few years back now, from Millets in Truro, they were in the sale for £45. The best £45 I've ever spent on a pair of shoes, extremely comfortable, they'll keep your feet energised and supported, even on the most strenuous of walks.
I still have them and they're still going strong, built to last and I'm a heavy user! Merrell's always seem to come up slightly on the small size, I'm always a UK 12 Eur 47.
I am a big fan of Merrell shoes in general, they do the job they're designed for perfectly.
WHERE CAN I GET THEM? Very comfortable, even after…
Source: bought it new
Price Paid: About £60
WHERE CAN I GET THEM? Very comfortable, even after a long day's walking. Excellent grip on all surfaces, either wet and muddy or dry. I've had them a few years now and they are still going strong. Probably the best I've owned.
- Comfortable
- Functional
- Durable
- No real problems
As in my summary. VERY good shoes. I'd buy again, if I could find them. I paid about £60 (I think that was reduced, not sure). They are worth more because they "work" well and they have lasted longer than many similar shoes have.
I came across this review looking to buy some more. If anyone knows if they are still on sale, please post details.

On Tennessee Lottery revenues, reserve funds and Gresham's False ruling
When the Tennessee Lottery on Monday reported another record year of revenues, everyone from all parties said they were pleased. But as our ruling from March points out, there is a definite difference in opinion on whether the lottery should be considered in good financial health and how much of the proceeds and massive reserve fund should go toward helping students fund college tuition.

Another "Brain Sex" Theory Bites The Dust
September 6, 2011
Finally, the cause of sex differences in spatial abilities is found: It's caused by female-hatred in male-supremacist cultures. No surprise to women, big surprise to genderists and other male-supremacists who cling to the sexist "Brain Sex" theory as if it was the Rock of Gibraltar. The way white-supremacists used to cling to the "Negroid Brain" theories of yesteryear.
From Live Science:
"At least one notable gender gap in abilities between men and women may be due in part to culture, a new study finds.
According to the research, women in cultures where men are in charge score lower than their male counterparts on a test that measures the ability to rotate objects in the mind's eye. But in communities where women are at the forefront, the gender gap disappears.
Many studies have found that women are generally worse at this task, called spatial ability, than men. Some, like former Harvard president Lawrence Summers, have suggested that such innate abilities might be the reason that women are underrepresented in science and math careers. Summers drew fire in 2005 for suggesting as much during a conference on work force diversification.
The Karbi and the Khasi
The gender gap in spatial abilities shows up across cultures, but little is known about how much of spatial abilities are really inborn and how much are shaped by culture. That nature-nurture schism is important in debates like the one Summers sparked, because if the difference is cultural, it suggests that discrimination and stereotypes might be to blame for the lack of women in high-level math and science positions.
To find out, study author Moshe Hoffman, a postdoctoral researcher at the University of California, San Diego's Rady School of Management, travelled to Northern India to visit two very traditional tribes.
One tribe, the Karbi, is patrilineal, meaning that men own most property and inheritance always goes to the oldest son. A second tribe, the Khasi, is matrilineal. The youngest daughter inherits the property in Khasi villages and men are forbidden to own land.
The advantage of going to rural India to study these two tribes is that they're biologically and geographically very similar, Hoffman said.
"We have this beautiful control group where they live literally right next door," Hoffman told LiveScience. "These villages are kind of interspersed with each other, and the tribes diverged genetically only a few hundred years ago."
Hoffman and an interpreter went to eight villages, some Khasi and some Karbi, and recruited 1,279 volunteers to complete a four-piece puzzle of a horse while being timed. All of the volunteers got a day's wages just for showing up; to motivate them, Hoffman offered another fifth of a day's wages if they completed the puzzle in less than 30 seconds.
"In some of these villages, almost the entire village came up," Hoffman said. "Most of these people work in the field all day long, which is pretty strenuous work, so if you were a mother you would come up with one baby strapped to your belly and one more grabbing on to your leg."
Culture and gender
Across both tribes and genders, people took about 40 seconds, on average, to complete the puzzle. In the patrilineal Karbi tribe, men completed the puzzle 36 percent faster than women. But in the matrilineal Khasi tribe, women and men were equally good at their task.
What that shows, Hoffman said, is that "even while holding biology constant, there is an effect of culture on the gender differences in spatial abilities."

Detransition Double Feature: Gay Man vs Autogynephile
September 5, 2011
Saturday Night Double Feature- WTF lol Edition
September 4, 2011
Last night ABC aired a show about "Transgender Children" that was, surprise surprise, 100% male. That's right, not a single female trans-itioner (F2T) was featured or interviewed- or even mentioned. It was all male, all the time. And not a single trans or LGBT blog has mentioned this fact in their follow-up. Why? Same reason the plight of females are ignored and erased in every "mainstream" transgender discussion. The fact that females actually exist, and the fact that gender is entirely based on sex-roles designed to oppress women and maintain male supremacy and power, must be suppressed in order to uphold the Genderist Belief System which informs transgenderism. Transgender is an entirely male-supremacist philosophy that leaves no room for female reality.
That ABC News could manage to fill an entire hour of a show dealing with sex-roles, without mentioning a single female human being, is truly mind boggling. Especially considering the enormous female adolescent trans-trending epidemic of young women desperately seeking to become- not "males", but to pass as "not-female" to escape the horrendous sex-roles inflicted on young girls.
None of which is worth even a mention by ABC Nightline or any trans or LGBT media source. No, ABC is reporting on news here, and that means stuff that concerns males. Gender? An entire hour on males. Just males. None of the transgender blogs writing follow-ups even noticed that females were entirely absent:
"Nightline aired an extensive, five-part examination of the issues facing transgender people."
"From 10 year Jack (upper left) to pop star transsexual "Kim Petras" the show presented an intelligent look at the trials facing our culture."
"Despite the politically correct presentation, there was at least a modicum of balance."
Advocate.com: "shouldn't be missed" "in-depth report"
The program consisted of five segments. The first featured the boy that likes glam from "My Princess Boy", and his Mom who's cashing in on him big time, trotting him out to transgender conferences and autographing tons of books.
The second featured a ten year old boy who kept getting beaten up for being a "fag" and whose mother began researching transgenderism when he was AGED TWO and already showing signs of faggotry. At least she didn't beat him to death for his lack of masculinity, she sought a medical cure for his "wrongness" instead. And now the kid is on puberty blockers in anticipation of chemical/surgical sterilization, and goes to school wearing a full face of make-up and fake boobs (yes- at age ten!).
Third was a 19 year-old young man who started popping black market hormones ages ago and works as a prostitute specializing in the "tranny-chaser" market- closeted gays who want dick, but only on a person who acts out femininity for them. This guy funnels all his cash into Mexican plastic surgery procedures that he thinks will make him beautiful ie. happy. He's already had six procedures and is planning a bunch more, but not a sex change op because that would ruin his niche prostitution income, plus he likes his dick.
Next was a segment on Charles Kane, the British dude who got a sex change then changed his mind after 7 years and had it reversed. Or at least near as the surgeons could, of course he's on synthetic hormone injections for life now.
Last was Kim Petras the youngest boy to ever get a surgical sex change (at the age of 16 in Germany). He is marketing himself as a novelty act based on being a transsexual pop singer.
So there you have it, all the boys and their sex-role medical treatments.
You can watch the segments HERE.
Oh, and Johanna Olsen, MD got a lot of face time. She's the rainmaker at Children's Hospital Los Angeles who runs her own damn clinic doing nothing but setting these kids up for a lifetime of drugs and medical dependence.
Lots of people require lifetime drugs and medical dependence, but the problem is those people have some sort of disease process. Like diabetes, or a congenital heart condition. And diseases end up costing money, which eats into profits. The beauty of Dr Olsen's clinic is that all the patients are perfectly healthy at the start! And they're children, so very resilient and very teachable. So the medical lifetime dependence that Dr Olsen installs into these healthy children is pure profit! It's a form of "therapeutic disability" performed on healthy children with a 100% profit margin for the medical industry. It's a form of Cosmetic Medical Disability, and Dr Olsen is one of the pioneers. Plus she's locking them into lifetime medical treatments before they are old enough to change their mind- and who signs the consents for it all? The parents of course! It's a marketing marvel. Pure genius. Pure Gold. And Olsen recruits children nationally. She sits on the board of TransYouthFamilyAllies, which markets the medicalization and sterilization of sex-role non-compliant children to parents nationally. Their motto is "Trust. Accept. Confidence. Treatment." And Dr Olsen provides that "treatment".
Dr Olsen shares TYFA board space with Andrea James, the male transgender who famously posted purloined photos of sexologist Michael Bailey's elementary school aged daughter with captions over the child's face saying "cocksucker", among other things. Andrea James doesn't just represent children (!) but also makes videos. Here is Andrea's latest work:
(Come to think of it – No females in that video either)
If you are the parent of a gender non-compliant child- RUN RUN RUN from these people. Give your child the skills they will need to be themselves, just as they are, in a world that is hostile, crushingly hostile to females and gender non-compliant males.
Together we can build a better world!

According to a Seravalli article on Philly.com, Bob has lost his waiver exemption, due to playing in game 3 vs Boston:
So, the next gut reaction for most, would be to send Bobrovsky to the AHL to continue his development. Unfortunately, the Flyers are stuck in that regard.
Not only would Leighton likely be stashed in Adirondack to keep his salary off the cap, but Bobrovsky – for the first time in his career – will be susceptible to waivers.
According to Article 13.4 of the NHL's Collective Bargaining Agreement, Bobrovsky lost his waiver exemption – even though he is still on his entry-level deal – by playing in his 60th career game. The number in the CBA says it includes playoff and regular season games. Coincidentally, Bobrovsky played his 60th career game in Game 3 against Boston.
If the above is true, Bobrovsky would undoubtedly be plucked off waivers.
It's kind of upsetting to me that Holmgren seems again to have unknowingly painted himself into a corner, salary-wise, if he expects to sign Breezy unless Ilya will sign a front-loaded long-term contract at, say, $28-32 million over about 8 years. Otherwise, Bob is going to get plucked off waivers if sent to Adirondack, and otherwise he's about a $1.75 million backup.

Oscar Niemeyer
The architect that designed the government buildings of Brasilia, Oscar Niemeyer, is still active at the age of 104 and is undoubtedly the most renowned Brazilian architect and the most influential worldwide. He graduated as an architect from the School of Fine Arts in 1934. Oscar Niemeyer is known for his skilful use of reinforced concrete. In 1936 he was part of the group of architects that designed the Ministry of Health and Education in Rio de Janeiro. This project, which was based on Le Corbusier's drafts, is considered to be one of the first landmarks of Brazilian modernist architecture. The brief time spent with Le Corbusier was significant in his career and according to Lucio Costa, it was responsible for the awakening of the genius inside Oscar Niemeyer.
Some of Niemeyer's most renowned projects include the government buildings in Brasilia [1956-1960], the Pampulha Complex in Belo Horizonte (1940-1944), the Ibirapuera Park in Sao Paulo [1951], the French Communist Party Headquarters in Paris [1965] and the Contemporary Art Museum in Niteroi [1991].
In 1988, Oscar Niemeyer and the American architect Gordon Bunshaft were jointly awarded, the Pritzker Prize [the most prestigious architectural prize by the Hyatt Foundation in Chicago]. In the 1970's, while exiled in France, Niemeyer started to dedicate himself to furniture design in partnership with his daughter, Anna Maria Niemeyer. He chose plywood to create his designs due to the potential of this material to create curved shapes integrating the supports and also for the easy assembly methods it provided.
Acknowledgment of his furniture design was confirmed through the various exhibitions in Europe, which took place at the Georges Pompidou Centre, in Paris; the Cologne International Fair, in Germany; the Milan Furniture International Fair and the Chiostro Grande, in Florence, in Italy.

News: Just Blaze Champions Kanye West, "Quincy Jones Wouldn't Know What To Do In Front Of Pro Tools" [Video]
Wednesday, Dec 1, 2010 11:50AM
Producer Just Blaze has come to the defense of Kanye West days after music mogul Quincy Jones blasted an interviewer for drawing comparisons between him and the Grammy-winning artist.
Blaze believes his former Roc-A-Fella labelmate is qualified, in a sense, in being compared to the music legend.
"Quincy may be right in a sense that Kanye may not necessarily know what to do with 20 trombones and violins, but Quincy wouldn't know what to do if you sat him down in front of an MP, Pro Tools, Logic, either, and some turntables," Just said in defense of Yeezy. "It's a different time, different sound, different audience. But, there is a valid comparison there. That response, it just didn't make any sense to me. I think that statement may have been made slightly in ignorance. I don't mean ignorance in the sense of stupidity. I just mean ignorance to the fact that he actually does produce records. Maybe he thinks he is just a rapper." (All Hip Hop)
Jones initially became irate when asked by an interviewer to compare his accomplishments to Ye.
"No way," Jones responded when an interviewer said West was similar to him being one of the most sought-after producers in the past 10 years. "Did he write for a symphony orchestra? Does he write for a jazz orchestra? Come on, man. He's just a rapper. There's no comparison. I'm not putting him down or making a judgement or anything, but we come from two different sides of the planet. I spent 28 years learning my first skill. I don't rap. It's not the same thing. A producer has to have some sort of skills that enable him to be a producer. It's totally different to know what to do with 16 woodwinds you know from piccolos down to bass clarinet. It's a whole different mindset. No comparison. None." (Us Magazine)
However, Jones later clarified his remarks and said he was not trying to spark a beef with Ye.
"I have nothing but respect for my little brother Kanye and what he has achieved in his young career and I look forward to watching his evolution as an artist. There is a reason why we put him on the new We Are The World 25 for Haiti - he's a great rapper. But having been in the music business for more than 60 years and having been fortunate to accomplish what I have over that time, it's not unreasonable to put a comparison of Kanye at this time in his career and myself into the proper perspective. This is not dissing Kanye, this is simply trying to express that I'm not a rapper! I don't need to take anyone else's props away from them. Let's all just try and keep the record straight." (Third Age)
In addition to guiding the careers of late pop superstar Michael Jackson and soul singer Aretha Franklin, Jones' run in the music industry spans over 60 years.
In a musical career that has spanned six decades, Quincy Jones has earned his reputation as a renaissance man of American music. Jones has distinguished himself as a bandleader, a solo artist, a sideman, a songwriter, a producer, an arranger, a film composer, and a record label executive, and outside of music, he's also written books, produced major motion pictures, and helped create television series. And a quick look at a few of the artists Jones has worked with suggests the remarkable diversity of his career -- Miles Davis, Frank Sinatra, Count Basie, Lesley Gore, Michael Jackson, Peggy Lee, Ray Charles, Paul Simon and Aretha Franklin.

Mach V
BioSpecies: Kyrii
Color: Skunk
Gender: Male
Nicknmae: Mac, but he doesn't like it and allows only his master to adress him this way.
Age: ??? (young adult)
Form: quad, but I might shift to furry anthro if the RP requires it.
Where does he come from is a mystery even to me so far.
In the site terms, I simply found MachV in the pound, few days after I created this account, painted as he is.
I had an idea of a non-neo skunk OC for a while and merged it with some other OCs ideas, making this explosive mix.
No, Mach V is not a nice and jolly character who would like to make friends with everyone.
No, he is not a misunderstood emo who just needs a hug.
Bear with it.
Some customisations I tried at NC mall just for fun. My top fave are the two last ones (bottom-right corner).
Drag and drop to url bar for full-size.
PersonalityMachV is a very vain and self-centered creature. At one hand, you cannot disagree that he does look fine. On the other hand, after a while you come to the point when you would love to wipe that smug smile off his face.
His self-esteem is usually high, but unstable, so Mach V sometimes feels the urge to prove he is better than the rest of the world. Looking at others from above, playing dirty tricks and insulting – that is his way of dealing with things when he feels he is stepping on thin ice. As long as he feels the master of situation he acts almighty and cool, but sensing serious threat he panics and retreats.
If he spots a chance to order someone around, he will take advantage of it and exploit the other person/pet to maximum.
He is not as smart as he thinks he is, but that doesn't stop him cheating and playing mischievous tricks on others. That put together with his special abilities makes a dangerous mix, as he will have no remorse when hurting someone. However, his cruelty has its limits. He simply has very primitive sense of justice: you did something bad to me, you need severe punishment.
It is very hard to define his good traits, if he ever has any. He can be tolerable under some conditions. The right attitude may tame him a bit, but very few hold the key to that secret lock.
AbilitiesYou would expect skunk pet to secret a stinky gas. Correct. Mach V can do that too. But only when he gets furious or intends to spoil the atmosphere. He can produce a vast selection of different smells ranging from the scent of blooming flowers and aroma of freshly-baked cookies to the reek of rotting fish or fetor of burned meat. He is somehow immune to his own smells, they're not as intense for him as are for others.
He has several spots on his body which are emitting gas. That's his tail and all his paws (on wrists). His special ability is to use the gas to fly, although it looks more like he was running in the air. This gas is flammable and at high concentration can explode. Mach V can use it to set a trap, but if he does not run fast away, he might be caught by the outburst.
WeaknessesHe can loose control of himself and the situation.
As mentioned in the abilities, he can become the victim of his own attack.
He isn't too good at direct physical attack. He has sharp yet very small teeth that are like rows of tiny perfectly shaped triangles. He generally isn't big.
