Camp Robinson, UALR hosting competition for top troops | People
Soldier, Non-Commissioned Officer of the Year competition to be conducted
Approximately seven Arkansas Army National Guard Soldiers will participate in a Combat Water Survival Test (CWST) as part of a three-day competition that determines the Soldier and Noncommissioned Officer (NCO) of the Year. The CWST will be a combined exercise with the UALR Reserve Officer Training Corps cadets.
The event takes place Wednesday, February 13, between 8:30 a.m. and 11:30 a.m. The overall competition will continue to run through Friday, February 15.
This event takes place at the Donaghey Student Center pool at the University of Arkansas Little Rock (UALR). Media are directed to take University Avenue to University Drive, follow it until it ends at a tennis court, turn left and go to the "no entrance" sign; turn right and escort at the gate will let you in.
Every major Army command in the Arkansas National Guard choose one Soldier - pay grade E1 through E4 - and one NCO - pay grade E5 through E8 - to participate in a series of mental, physical and warrior challenges that result in the naming of the state-wide Soldier of the Year and the state-wide NCO of the Year.
This year's competition includes physical fitness testing, marksmanship, land navigation, combat water survival, long-distance road marching, Army combatives and a special mystery event designed to test their abilities on several fronts.
The two winners of this competition will move on to the regional competition in May. The regional winners compete at the National Guard level, with the winners there competing for the Army crown in the fall.

Over the last week, I have seen some comments, mostly on the game day threads.
Please don't forget or if you never have seen it before, you can always email me or call me, I may not have an answer for you, but I can get you to the right people that can help you with a problem.
I Am Neftali Feliz realized this when he was asking me about our Mariano Rivera pre game ceremony, which I emailed him again yesterday after the pre game display in Boston over the weekend. I sent oc an email a few days ago when he was asking about something on a thread.
Please feel free to email me at firstname.lastname@example.com or you can call me at 817 273-5006.
Again, I can't fix any baseball problems, over my 30 years, I have learned to stay on the business side of the organization. However, I would have still pinch hit Darrell Porter in 1986 against Roger Clemens. Geno Petralli was the choice and hit a pinch homer off of Clemens. See, that's why I keep my baseball opinions to myself.
And as always, thanks for supporting the Texas Rangers and I really appreciate those of you that have been able to come out to the ballpark this year.

text: Anyone else seen or tried this? It's basically a fan draft simulator that let's you make the picks for any of the 32 NFL teams. It gives you 'positions of need' and you get grades for each of your picks. You can trade up or down and even trade future picks. Not entirely realistic maybe because it's super easy to trade back and sometimes the best player available list is a little misleading, but all in all it's pretty cool. And very addicting.

Welcome to the Community! While you wait for others to hopefully provide you with some first-hand experiences and advice, here is some information that I found on Femara . It includes uses, side effects, and a number of reviews from other WebMD readers who have had experience with the drug. Hope it helps!View Thread
I've been with my fiancee for seven years, and we would eventually like to try to reverse the tubal once we had enough saved up, but at this time it wasn't even a question, we're dealing with financial hardships and I've had other health issues.. and yet I started having horrible pains and passing clots, and what turned out to be an embryonic sac. The doctor said she's pretty positive I've been miscarrying, and have an infection from the length of time it's taken my body to get rid of it.
So pills for infection and pills to help with the pain and hormones and then we'll schedule some sort of test where they put dye in my fallopian tubes and see if there's a leak.
If there's not, she said she's quite honestly perplexed at what could've been happening the past month. If there is, we have to find a new form of birth control until we decide we can try for it, but now I'm paranoid that any unconventional birth control will lower my chances in the future, and if there's something wrong with my clips, removing them without repairing the tubes can cause even more damage. Yet medicare/medicaid won't pay for crap it doesn't have to.
I have been on a low dose of hormonal bc for a few months due to painful periods/pmdd, but I am pretty terrible at taking pills the same time every day, and probably missed an average of two a month. I wasn't terribly worried about it, though, because it wasn't for birth control, just uterus-fit-throwing control.
My mother who disapproved of my TL when I got it has had a "told you so" response, and the one friend I felt okay telling is convinced that since my health has never and will never be optimal that us not having children is not something we should try.
I didn't know I COULD get pregnant, I don't know if I should feel excited, or if it's another false alarm of hope, and I am absolutely miserable that I lost this baby I didn't even know about. It's just really hard, and I'm so scared in the process of figuring out what's happening we're going to reduce the likelihood of future children.View Thread

I'm sure that there are many women here who can relate to your story, and I hope that they will soon chime in with support and their experience. Here is some information on Metformin and PCOS that I found. It does say that "Metformin may help start ovulation in women with PCOS who have not responded to treatment with clomiphene." Once your health insurance kicks in, it may be a good idea to visit with your ob or a fertility specialist to see what course of action you should take.

I am doing this to demonstrate to pharmaceutical companies just how important it is for patients that an injection device is usable and user friendly. I plan on publishing my results so that awareness of this issue endures, spreads, and hopefully influences the design choices companies make when creating these devices.
Have you experienced any type of issues or problems during the first few attempts at using an injection device at home, whether this applies to your current device/drug or some previous device/drug you were prescribed? I am interested in all forms of devices, such as:
Prefilled Syringes, Syringe and vial combinations, Disposable Pens, Reusable pens, Disposable Auto-Injectors, Reusable Auto-Injectors, and Reconstitution kits
If you ever experienced any of the following, please share your experiences with me through this survey.
• I was too scared or intimidated by the device to perform the procedure.
• I intentionally delayed starting treatment
• I performed the procedure but with a lot of hesitation and difficulty, and I might have made some mistakes.
• I made a mistake and did not receive my full dose (I lost some or all of the medication).
• I could not figure out how to use the device and returned it to my health care provider or pharmacist.
• I had to call my health care provider or pharmacist for help in order to complete the procedure.
• I asked for additional training from my health care provider or pharmacist.
• I took the drug less often than I was supposed to, or stopped using it because of the difficulty I had in using the device and performing the procedure.
• I asked my doctor to switch to a different device/drug because of the difficulty I had in using the device and performing the procedure.
The survey should take less than 10 minutes to complete, and for every survey completed I will donate $1 to either the Red Cross or The Humane Society (your choice). I hope you can contribute to this effort and help uncover and solve the difficulties experienced by patients when delivering their own drug therapy with a new device.
Survey Link: https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/3SX5723
Thank you for your time, and I look forward to hearing about your experiences. It would be greatly appreciated if you would share this survey with any other qualifying people you know.
Note: this survey is anonymous and no personal information is collected.View Thread

Has your doctor checked for any underlying health conditions that could be causing these recurring infections? Here is some information on recurrent yeast infections you may be interested in, as well as some tips on preventing yeast infections that you might try if you haven't already. A pre-pregnancy checkup with your doctor might be a good idea to make sure that you are in optimal health to conceive. Your doctor may also suggest you use creams to clear up your yeast infection if you are trying to conceive as opposed to pills, but a medical professional's opinion would be best.

While I don't have any experience using Mirena, I did find this blog post about getting pregnant after stopping IUDs. It says that in a study of women who have had previous pregnancies, the time to conception after Mirena removal was 4 months. You might consider making an appointment with your OBGYN for a pre-pregnancy check-up to make sure that you are in optimal health to begin trying for baby #2. Please let us know how you are doing

It seems like you are doing everything right in charting your cycle and taking care of yourself while trying to conceive. Have you had a pre-pregnancy checkup with an obstetrician?

As you have been trying for more than a year, it would be a good idea to make an appointment with your doctor -- here is some information on when you should speak with a fertility specialist.

The British study, published online April 16 in the journal Nature, may offer new ways to improve both fertility treatments and contraceptives in people, with experts saying that human eggs also have protein receptors crucial to the meeting of sperm and egg.

I'm sorry you are going through this tough time, and that people around your are making you feel bad, maybe unintentional for some. This so called friend of yours, does he know what you have been going through? He should have known better that to tell you that you are bitter. Even if you are, as your friend, he should at least try to put himself in your shoes and see how you would really feel. He should understand how you feel. You shouldn't have to give him an explanation.
As for your husband, talk to him. Ask him why he is so apprehensive about going to the doctor. With the way the male ego works, he must feel embarrassed that he has to do it. Instead of being angry with him, try to encourage him instead. Tell him that there is no need for him to feel ashamed and be scared because you will support him all the way. And that no matter what happens, you will still love him.
If he really is not ready for now, why not try some DIY test kits for fertility health. This way you both can figure out together if your have any hormonal imbalances that might be hampering your plans of getting pregnant. I recommend ZRT Labs' Male Profile 2 Blood Test Kit and the Female Profile 2 Test Kit. They are comprehensive tests that evaluate your fertility health. This can give you a good idea of your health for pregnancy. You can also show the tests to a doctor, who can help you out if there are any complications.
You are both young so don't fret so much. Stressing yourself won't help you, it might even be the reason why you are having such a hard time. Why don't you take a break from trying to conceive and relax for a while. Enjoy your time together, so you will be in a healthy frame of mind when you try again.
Keep your patience and be hopeful. Exert effort for you both to be on your best health. Don't give up! Best regards and goodluck!View Thread
This article about getting pregnant when you have irregular or abnormal ovulation has good information that you may be interested in. Have you spoken with your gynecologist about what your ovulation schedule means for your chances of getting pregnant and what options may be available to you?

Have you gone to the doctor for check-up after the removal of your Mirena? I think you have to let a professional guide you through this. It might make you feel better and more optimistic.
You can also try finding out more about your fertility health. ZRT Labs' Female Profile II Blood Test Kit is the best solution for that. It will be cheaper compared to going to an actual lab for different tests regarding your hormonal health. This test will help determine if you have hormonal imbalances that needs to be addressed before you can try to conceive. The result from the test will also help you and your doctor work out the best plan for your fertility health to make conception not only possible but safe for you.
Stay healthy and hopeful! Goodluck!View Thread

A crop of American cockroaches brings in serious cash.
This week, participants in the Maumee Police Department's Citizens' Academy class tried their hands at firearms.
Many people have never shot a firearm before, so when a handgun, rifle or shotgun are put in their hands for the first time, they get nervous and excited, according to Maumee Police Sgt. TJ Stratton.
"I see a lot of twinkling eyes," he said. "It's almost [like] I'm seeing the same thing from adults that I would see from children at Christmas time."
The purpose of the firearms demo was more than just an opportunity to show class members the variety of weapons officers use in different situations; it was also an opportunity to open some eyes.
"A lot of these folks have never shot a weapon before, and we get them over that anxiety that they just don't know about it," Stratton explained. "I think they feel a lot more comfortable about being around firearms and about firearms in general after a day like this."
This week's class also discussed fire investigations, use of force and less-lethal weapons, and the role of county coroners and school resource officers.
The next class will cover fraud, carrying concealed weapons, and the court system.

for these last home games and roadtrip to Seattle, and I hope that many of you will come out too.
As bad as I feel about last night's loss and, unless magic happens, our almostended chance at postseason, I feel really good about the season and the way our young team has played despite the - well, AN knows all those injuries, errors, dps, stranded runners, etc, etc.
But I realized last night walking to the BART bridge, that I want to be at these next games, no matter what happens, I want to support our A's as much as I can.I have been there all season, I won't stop now.
Then I met drummer Duke on the bridge..great guy and super positive fan attitude. He'll be there with the LF drummers and flags, too.
Six more games (at least) to cheer our guys, six more games to shout LET's GO OAKLAND! br> I'll be there...and hope to see lots of AN folks there too.
Come on out if you possibly can. Do it for the team, they certainly deserve it...and do it for yourself.
Let's GO A's!!!!

Drake - I Get Lonely Too
Artist: Drake
Producer: Noah "40" Shebib
Album: It's Never Enough
Avg Rating: 3.6 ( 86 total votes )
Do you miss the insanity that would accompany every new Drake release in the pre-Thank Me Later days? No? Well like it or not their back, albeit in diluted form, now that Drizzy's begun to drop records off his upcoming r&b-only mixtape, beginning with the tearstained, I Get Lonely Too. The board work, of course, if provided by constant production partner Noah "40" Shebib, who interpolates TLC's Fan Mail to create a typically ambient and warmly electronic beat for Aubrey to lay down the kind of vocals guaranteed to make teenage girls the world over hyperventilate. It's only "r&b" in the sense that it's romantic and full of crooning, but no matter the label, something tells me Drake's got yet another hit on his hands, even if there's sure to be no shortage of "he should stick to rapping" proponents (see the comments below). Drake's sure to explode the internets mixtape, It's Never Enough, doesn't have a release date yet, so in the meantime we'll just have to content ourselves with speculation and debate. Ah, just like the good 'ol days.

Sam Phillips
Share This
The acid-pop singer/songwriter born
Leslie Phillips
earned the nonsensical nickname "Sam" as a child; only when she was recording her debut album did she finally hear of the other, more renowned
Sam Phillips
and learn of his legacy as the founder of Sun Records, the label which launched the careers of
Elvis Presley
Jerry Lee Lewis
. In retrospect, however, her relative distance from the history and conventions of pop music may have been in her favor, and accounted for the fresh perspective her work offered; a critic's darling,
sold few records, but her songs won widespread praise not only from the press but also from her fellow performers.
Born in 1962,
was raised in Glendale, CA. As a child she became fascinated by philosophy and religion, primarily fundamentalism; she began writing songs at the age of 14 as an outlet for exploring her Christian beliefs, as well as coping with family strife. In 1984, under the name
Leslie Phillips
, she released her first LP,
Beyond Saturday Night
, on the contemporary Christian label Word. Within the limited framework of the Christian rock community,
became a star; her records, which also included 1984's
Dancing with Danger
and 1985's
Black and White in a Grey World
, regularly sold upwards of 200,000 copies, and she was a tremendous live draw while touring churches and coffeehouses.
With the aptly titled The Turning, released in 1987,
first teamed with producer
T-Bone Burnett
, a renowned pop producer who also helmed
Bob Dylan
's voyage into Christianity. After the album's release, she publicly denounced her label as a right-wing propaganda machine, and announced her retirement from CCM; disavowing all of her previous work, she adopted the name
on a permanent basis and, with
's assistance, landed a contract with Virgin Records. With
again in the producer's seat, she emerged in 1988 with her secular debut,
The Indescribable Wow
, which earned vast acclaim not only for her powerful vocals, penetrating lyrics, and gorgeous melodies, but also for the record's lush, baroque production.
married prior to the release of 1991's darker, more experimental
Cruel Inventions
, which featured a guest appearance from
Elvis Costello
. With 1994's Grammy nominated
Martinis and Bikinis
, her sound flirted closely with
popcraft; the album's finale, a cover of
John Lennon
's "Gimme Some Truth" further drove the comparisons home. After making her feature film debut in the 1995 blockbuster Die Hard with a Vengeance,
returned with 1996's
Omnipop (It's Only a Flesh Wound Lambchop)
, another departure which touched upon lounge pop and industrial sounds; on the song "Slapstick Heart," she even shared songwriting credits with the members of
Zero Zero Zero: The Best of Sam Phillips
followed in early 1999.
In 2001,
began rethinking her approach to music, and that year she released
Fan Dance
, her first album for Nonesuch Records. Produced by
Fan Dance
abandoned the ornate pop sound of their previous work together in favor of spare and casual semi-acoustic settings. The album was a critical success, and a similarly styled follow-up,
A Boot and a Shoe
, appeared in 2004, followed by
Don't Do Anything
in 2008..

Close on the heels of the Copper Mountain decision (the "fairy tale" case) comes another remarkable lead plaintiff/lead counsel order. In the Terayon securities class action, Judge Marilyn Hall Patel of the N.D. of Cal. has both disqualified two of the lead plaintiffs and found it "probable" that lead counsel must also be removed.
Terayon Communication Systems, Inc. is a Santa Clara-based maker of cable modem equipment. The securities class action against the company, initially filed in April 2000, is based on allegedly misleading statements concerning the company's ability to obtain certification for its technology.
Judge Patel originally appointed Cardinal Investment Co. and Marshall Payne (an employee of Cardinal) as two of the lead plaintiffs in the case. It came out in discovery, however, that Cardinal and Payne were significant short sellers of Terayon stock (hundreds of thousands of shares) and in early 2000 had begun a campaign to flood the market with negative information about the company. The campaign included phone calls to the certification entity, starting Internet chat room rumors, letters to the SEC, and contacts with financial reporters.
Moreover, Cardinal was apparently working closely with plaintiffs' counsel (later lead counsel for the class) during this period. Starting in February 2000, Internet website postings encouraged parties to contact plaintiffs' counsel about a proposed lawsuit against Terayon. According to Judge Patel, "the class period in the original complaint, i.e. the first day on which plaintiffs claim they were damaged, was February 9, 2000 the same day these Internet postings appeared. Defendants assert that these web postings were part of plaintiffs' alleged scheme to drive the price of the stock down."
On April 11, 2000, the same day as a Terayon earnings conference call during which the company's executives were sharply criticized by short sellers using phony names, an investor plaintiff signed a sworn statement authorizing the filing of a complaint that closely tracked the language of Cardinal's letters to the SEC. It was not until the next day, however, that the price of Terayon's stock dropped significantly. The complaint was filed on April 13.
Following the revelation of these facts, defendants moved to have Cardinal and Payne removed as lead plaintiffs. (See this earlier post in The 10b-5 Daily about press coverage of the hearing held last September.) Judge Patel has agreed and more.
The court found "[w]hile some short sales may not, in and of themselves render a lead plaintiff's claims atypical, a pattern of affirmatively engaging in campaigns devised to lower the price of the stock in question certainly contains within it the seeds of discord between lead plaintiffs and the remaining plaintiffs." Accordingly, the court removed Cardinal and Payne as lead plaintiffs (and also noted that they "appear to have participated, if not perpetrated, a fraud of their own on the market" and could be subject to claims by their fellow shareholders).
As for lead counsel, the court expressed concern over lead counsel's pre-suit involvement with Cardinal and its apparent efforts "to mislead the court as to the scope and nature of lead plaintiffs' holdings in Terayon stock" as part of the lead plaintiff selection process. Based on this course of events, the court wondered "whether counsel for plaintiffs actively participated in or provided advice to plaintiffs regarding their scheme to cause a fall in Terayon's stock price" and invited a motion on whether lead counsel had waived privilege. In any event, the court found "it is probable that there is a conflict not only between lead plaintiffs and the class but also between lead counsel and the remainder of the class." Lead counsel was asked to provide a written response to a number of questions and defendants were given leave to take further discovery on the issue.
Judge Patel's order, dated February 23, can be found here. The San Francisco Chronicle has an article on the decision.Posted by Lyle Roberts at March 1, 2004 10:04 PM | TrackBack

Update: Gunman kills 1, wounds 8 at Empire State Building
NEW YORK (AP) -- Two law enforcement officials in New York City say a recently fired store worker shot a former colleague to death and then randomly opened fired on others near the Empire State Building.
The officials say eight other people were struck by bullets but those injuries are not believed to be life threatening.
The officials say the gunman previously worked at a store inside the landmark skyscraper. The shooting happened at about 9 am this morning at 34th Street and Fifth Avenue.
The law enforcement officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to publicly discuss the matter.
Federal officials say the shooting isn't related to terrorism, and a guard at the landmark said it didn't involve the parts of the building where tourists gather to visit the skyscraper.

AMCC controller hits SATA heights
New 9500S RAID controller builds on manageability, performanceFollow @infoworld
If you're familiar with SATA, you probably know that 3ware, an old-timer in that space, was recently acquired by Applied Micro Circuits (AMCC) and introduced a new version of its leading SATA RAID controller.
Like previous models, the 3ware 9500S comes in 4-, 8-, and 12-port configurations, but it promises to be much faster and to boast other improvements, such as extended RAID support, support for more host OSes, and improved management tools.
A SATA RAID controller such as the 9500, which is able to host up to 12 drives, requires a properly engineered enclosure. AMCC sent a 3U, dual-processor Advanced Industrial Computer (AIC) server with a 12-port 3ware 9500S controller and eight 250GB Maxtor drives installed.
The AIC server can accommodate 16 swappable 3.5-inch drives and still has room in the front for a diskette, a DVD drive, and a handful of controls. On the back, the unit hosts CPUs, PCI I/O slots, two GbE NICs, three redundant power supplies, and numerous cooling fans. It filled only two-thirds of the controller capacity, but that configuration gave me close to 2TB of nominal disk space.
Because of the number of drives mounted, I expected a clutter of connections — but inside the box I found just two cables neatly linking the controller to the drives area. In fact, my 3ware controller mounted MI (multilane internal), rather than plain, SATA connectors.
MIs are essentially InfiniBand connectors, each capable of transparently carrying signals and data of four SATA ports, which obviously cuts the number of cables and reduces the jumble inside the box dramatically. It's a big help when deploying eight or more drives.
My box had Windows Server 2003 already installed on drives controlled by the 3ware card, but to get more flexibility and to measure performance more accurately, I reinstalled the OS on a separate, non-SATA drive.
After a quick install of 3DM2 (3ware Disk Management 2), the new version of the browser-based management software, I set the controller to RAID 5 on seven drives, leaving one spare for recovery. The 9500 offers all common RAID levels, including composite settings such as 10 and 50.
In addition to browser-based management, the controller has also boot-time and CLI administration, but I was able to create and remove RAID configurations online without ever needing to reboot and with little or no impact on existing LUNs (logical unit numbers).
3DM2 can set a schedule to execute some repetitive and time-intensive tasks, such as rebuilding or verifying a LUN during off hours. You can also run those maintenance tasks in parallel with normal activities and adjust the controller throttle to minimize disturbance to live jobs or to finish sooner. Rebuilding an array when a large SATA drive fails can take a very long time, which makes these controls useful in daily operations.
Nonetheless, speedy performance is the main motivator when choosing a RAID controller. AMCC's documentation lists expected maximum transfer rates at 400MBps for reads and 100MBps for writes (measured with Iometer over RAID 5). It also indicates that CPU use shouldn't exceed 3 percent during those tests.
It took me a few attempts to get numbers consistent with those published. After comparing notes with AMCC engineers, I replaced the Maxtor drives with eight WD740s, a speedy SATA drive from Western Digital.

"The longing for a safe place to rest demanded a voice in this current body of work, and as I constructed ephemeral spaces in the centers of the paintings, the world got darker around them until at last, many layers of glazes later I found what I was looking for – a place for a soul to retreat, a safe room – a house that, even though delicate and fragile, was so full of light that it could stand in the darkness." — Carolyn Young Hisel

This series gives you a peek into what's behind some of the art you can find at Vintage Karma. Each object is created with care and creativity; behind every handmade item, there's a story and a person.
This week, meet Champaign artist Melissa Mitchell, who creates funky assemblage, colorful collages and whimsical photographs. Also a writer, she crafts up clever names for her artwork, too!
What was your first piece? What inspired you to create it?
I made my first assemblage about 12 years ago — a 3-foot sculptural piece I dubbed "Tina the Ballerina." It turned out to be the first of a series of three featuring architectural salvage. All were influenced to some degree by my interest in Louise Bourgeois and the sculptures she referred to as "personages." Tina grew from an unusual "thing" I picked up at a garage sale. I have no clue what its original function was, but it has what assemblage artist Michael deMeng would call "inherent thingyness." The base is made from a gold resin-like material that appears similar to what's used to manufacture bowling balls. Extending upward from the base is a metal rod. I slipped a hollow architectural-salvage piece on top of that, added a rusty Rototiller blade then capped it with a glass-doorknob finial. I also attached burgundy fringe around Tina's "hips," hence the ballerina reference. When I was a child, I took ballet lessons and loved listening over and over and over to a song called "Tina the Ballerina." I still remember the words. But I will spare you.
How long have you been creating?
I've been a "maker" all my life … always doodling, drawing, painting, crafting. And writing, writing, writing. I wrote my first (and maybe only!) play at age 7. In college, I majored in English literature, but at one point switched to interior design. When I was supposed to be writing, I tended to procrastinate by making art; and, of course, when I was supposed to be making art … well, you know. Through the years, I also took random classes in photography and ceramics.
How did you get into making your art?
About 20 years ago, things kicked up a notch again on the visual-arts front when I became friends with an artist who lived near me. The two of us would sometimes just hang out and make stuff. That act of communing through art-making made me realize that, for some reason, as adults, many of us have suppressed so much of the natural creativity that was always there bubbling up as children. It was a liberating experience. Even though I self-identified as a writer — because that's what I was paid to do — I realized I could make art if I felt like it, and I certainly didn't need anyone's permission or approval to do so.
Describe your creative process.
Whether I'm making assemblage, collage or taking photographs, for me, it's all about the moment — seeing things suddenly in a way I've never seen them before. I've probably photographed every inch of my backyard 20 times over, but then the sun hits a flower or casts a shadow on a piece of garden art just so, and I see something totally fresh. And simply must capture it! Definitely borders on obsession or addiction. A similar effect takes place in my studio, which doubles as a repository for all the odd bits that I accumulate to make assemblage. My best work there happens spontaneously as well — especially if I immerse myself there for several hours at a time (typically, far into the wee ones). Even though I may have looked at a particular object many times over and been uninspired, for reasons I can't explain, all at once the pieces start to come together … divine inspiration, maybe? (Ha!) Sometimes I will finish an assemblage in its entirety in one sitting. More often, there's a testing period involved, in which I try configurations, change them out, then rearrange and rethink them again before attaching the pieces permanently.
What drew you to your chosen medium?
As mentioned previously, my original assemblages were loosely inspired by Louise Bourgeois' "personages." My "associates," as I called them, were an amalgamation of parts that ultimately assumed vaguely humanistic qualities. To create them, I did what many artists, especially self-taught ones, do by necessity — worked with materials that were readily accessible. Also, all of my art — regardless of the medium — tends to be narrative in nature. Considering that I worked as a reporter and feature writer most of my adult life, it's not too hard to figure out the connection there. It also explains my interest in photography; early in my career as a writer, I realized photography was one more useful skill to have in my toolkit. It's also something I've been exposed to all my life. (Yes, pun intended, sorry!). My dad was into it, so I grew up watching his slide shows as Saturday-night entertainment. I still have the first black-and-white photos I ever took with my own camera when I was 12 years old.
What is your favorite part of the creative process? What is your least favorite part?
My favorite part is that aha! moment … when I know in my gut that something is not only finished, but that it has turned out better than what I'd imagined. Least favorite: When I'm working in my studio late at night, overtired, and know I should just quit and go home before I get clumsy and break something. But I don't quit. Then I break something!
What inspires you?
Rusty junk, bright colors, sunshiny days, music, nature, travel, my own backyard.
What do you do when you're not making art?
I'm the volunteer communications coordinator at The I.D.E.A. Store, a fabulous creative-reuse marketplace in Champaign, so a lot of my time goes into promoting the store. In the cracks, I enjoy gardening, swimming, listening to music, "junking," traveling and hanging with friends — including my best friend/sweetie Jim. Oh, and I may as well admit that I have a reputation for being one of those crazy cat ladies and add "entertaining and being entertained by cats" to the list. Well, make that cat. Singular. Sadly, we lost three of our old kitty friends this past year.
Don't forget to stop by Vintage Karma and check out a special display of Melissa's art!

(FOX 11/AP) Across the pond, in Europe and other parts of the world, customers paying full price for their cellphones up front is a fairly common practice. The upside to that practice is that you generally come out cheaper in the long run while the downside is that the initial cost of starting service can be steep. Personally, I think it's time for a serious look at these kinds of plans and a change in consumer mentality when it comes to cellular service.
Here's the deal: when you're locked in for two years, the company doesn't have to be as aggressive with innovating plan features and services. They have you and you're not going anywhere- and by "you," I mean "us." We' re all locked in. Now let me ask you this... what if I told you that you could live in a world where carriers were forced to worry more about keeping your business because you could literally take your account(s) anywhere, at any time, without rhyme or reason? You are in the driver's seat and you give your business to the carrier who has the best mix of coverage, calling/data features and affordability and can move to that carrier as soon as the one you're with decides they don't feel the need to work too hard to give you that any longer! This is the way it should be. We give them our money, we should be getting our money's worth! This isn't to say that we shouldn't pay a fair price so they can, themselves, make some money but competition is good for everyone- well maybe not as advantageous for the carriers.
What's a great plan without an awesome phone to match? Don't worry, you won't be completely breaking the bank! Enter: Google whose Nexus 4 is at a price point which actually makes sense. Starting at $300, the Nexus 4 is unique in that its price point is low enough that it actually matches some carriers' subsidized handset pricing and with features that are, for the most part, as good as the top handsets on the market. This phone has been successful and with that success on the market- it has sold out fast whenever it's been in stock- other vendors may begin to step up and offer top notch devices at more wallet friendly unsubsidized prices.
This doesn't work just one way though. Data intensive device use has skyrocketed in the US in the last few years and companies want to take advantage of that. They need to be smart about how they do it and attracting customers with the promise frequent phone upgrades just hasn't been working. In addition, there are still many out there who feel like they get nickel and dimed for every little thing along with a general sense of confusion about what exactly they're paying for and it's no wonder that T-Mobile USA, the struggling No. 4 cellphone company, is ditching plans centered on familiar two-year contracts in favor of selling phones on installment plans.
The company changed its website over the weekend to sell the new plans. It was set to lay out the rationale for the change on Tuesday at an event in New York.
T-Mobile has been losing subscribers from its contract-based plans for more than two years, chiefly to bigger competitors Verizon Wireless and AT&T. T-Mobile has done better with contract-less, prepaid plans, but those aren't as profitable for the company.
The new plan blurs the boundaries between the two types. Prepaid plans have lower monthly fees, but the buyer usually has to pay full or nearly full price for the phones. This will hopefully increase the company's profit margins since they won't be eating the cost of those handsets up front. With T-Mobile's new plans, the initial phone-buying experience won't be much different from what it's like for contract plans, but customers could save money in the long run.
For instance, someone who wants a Samsung Galaxy S III would pay $70 up front and then $90 per month for unlimited calling, text and data. That monthly fee includes $20 to pay off the cost of the phone over two years.
By separating the cost of the phone from the service, T-Mobile is making its plans and upgrade options easier to understand. When the phone is paid off, the $20 fee in that example disappears. On traditional contract-based plans, the buyer is deemed to have "paid off" the phone after a certain period of time and become eligible for a new, subsidized phone, but the monthly payments don't decline.
As before, T-Mobile's prices generally undercut those of the bigger phone companies. The chief downside is that its data network coverage is poorer in rural areas.
T-Mobile stopped short of adopting shared-data plans that Verizon Wireless and AT&T introduced last year. Those plans allow all of a family's devices to share a pool of monthly data usage. Instead, T-Mobile is selling data per line in three tiers. The talk and text portion of the plan comes with 500 megabytes of data usage per month. Adding $10 bumps that to 2 gigabytes per month, while adding $20 provides unlimited data.
A big part of the reason for the exodus of contract-signing customers from T-Mobile is that it, alone among the four national-level cellphone carriers, doesn't offer the iPhone. That's because its network has, until recently, not been able to offer high-speed data service to iPhones. It's now able to offer high-speed data to iPhones in some cities, and had been trying to persuade iPhone owners who have come off their contracts with AT&T to move the phones over to T-Mobile.

Good news for those of you looking to migrate to Australia under the 2012 – 2013 Migration Program. The Federal Government announced yesterday a targeted increase for the the 2012–13 migration program, providing additional places to help fill skills shortages in parts of the Australian economy.
Minister for Immigration and Citizenship Chris Bowen MP said the planned migration program in the 2012–13 Budget would provide support to the growth regions and sectors of Australia's economy struggling to meet acute skills shortages.
'The measured increase of 5000 places—from 185 000 to 190 000—comes in the context of significant skills gaps in both the short and medium term in certain sectors of our patchwork economy,' Mr Bowen said.
The 2012–13 migration program includes a skill stream of 129 250 places, 60 185 family places and a special eligibility stream of 565 places.
Mr Bowen said regional visas would also continue to be given high processing priority to recognise the needs of regional employers and encourage regional migration.
Up to 16 000 places have been reserved for the regional sponsored migration scheme (skilled) to ensure those areas have the support they need to fill skills gaps, grow local economies and strengthen communities.
'Skilled migrants are increasingly moving to growth regions and places where there is demand—they are complementing rather than competing with our domestic labour force,' Mr Bowen said.
'Further recent reforms have made employer-sponsored programs more streamlined and responsive.'
The Gillard Government has undertaken systematic reforms of Australia's skilled migration program since 2007, ensuring skilled migrants now have higher levels of productivity and stronger employment outcomes.
Mr Bowen said the government also recognised the important social benefits of close family reunion, reflected in the increase in family places from 58 600 to 60 185.
'It's obviously important that people be able to live with family members, which is recognised in the increased places to help meet growing demand. Importantly, partners and children can also be great contributors to our nation's productivity,' Mr Bowen said.
'Our skilled migration program is driven by Australia's genuine skills needs and not simply by those who wish to become Australian residents. We believe we have the balance right.'

I believe that not only is there an important significance towards the understanding, evaluation and support of immigrating populations, but in the understanding towards WHO can eventually contribute to WHAT will eventually contribute to a growing economy as well as provide support to an infrastructure that relies heavily on imported commodities.. substituting those imported reliance's, by means of importing intelligent external resources that will ultimately benefit the Australian culture, in general. I would outline the basics, only every Australian already knows better, or has this same understanding.

[...] the general idea anyway. Whether or not they get it right every year is another story. [...]

Iowa students object to singing Lord's Prayer at graduation
By The Associated Press
Printer-friendly page
WOODBINE, Iowa A school district is forcing its high school choir to sing the Lord's Prayer at graduation and is violating the First Amendment, according to a lawsuit filed by the Iowa Civil Liberties Union Foundation.
The ICLU is suing the Woodbine Community School District on behalf of two students and their parents, who say requiring the choir to sing the prayer violates their religious freedom.
The choir sang the Lord's Prayer at graduation ceremonies last year.
It was pulled from the upcoming May 19 commencement when someone complained, but was put back in by the school board, which added a secular selection as well, said Woodbine Superintendent Terry Hazard.
"The intent was to balance it because we had a number of complaints for taking it out," he said. "That evidently wasn't acceptable."
The ICLU filed the lawsuit April 1 on behalf of Donovan and Ruby Skarin, sophomore twins and choir members, and their parents Christine and Donald Skarin, of Dunlap.
"The prayer which they are having us sing for graduation is basically forcing us to sing praise to a God that we don't even believe in," Donovan Skarin said.
Hazard said the song was selected for its musical content, not its religious value.
"The Lord's Prayer represents a deeply personal affirmation of faith for millions of Christians worldwide," said Ben Stone, ICLU director. "The government has no business forcing kids to sing such a prayer."
Hazard said choir members do have required performances, but an absence can be made up with an alternative activity. The Skarins never contacted the music teacher about arranging for an alternative activity, Hazard said, and something probably could have been worked out so they didn't have to sing the song.
The school board will revisit the issue at its meeting April 11, Hazard said.
The lawsuit seeks an injunction but no monetary damages.

Fight winter colds
It's too cold to have colds. While most of the days this winter season are spent inside our house, we wonder why we still suffer from common colds. Virus circulates around the small area which makes the household easy target. To avoid hitting by this contagious disease, here are some helpful tips to fight winter colds.
Warp to feel warm
Shivering slows down our immune system which makes who shivers easily catch colds. Ensure you don't let that icy feeling affects your body by wearing clothes that keeping you warm.
Keep hands clean
Apart from getting the virus via air, germs can be passed on through the objects touched by those who have colds. They can be on the door knob or the faucet on public restroom. To make sure you wash out the germs, keep your hands clean.
Eat for healthy immune system
Always eat a balanced diet and always include food that boosts your immune system not only during winter. By strengthen your lymphatic system, colds and other respiratory diseases are not welcome to your body. Some of the fruits and vegetables that help you fight colds are apple, oranges, lemon, and broccoli, and cabbage which are good source of Vitamin A and C and other vitamins and minerals needed by our immune system. Spicy curry is said to fight colds because it contains anti-viral properties.
Stress not distress
Get enough sleep, particularly after a stressful day. Too much stress can weakens our immune system which makes one prone to catching colds and cough. Apart from right amount of sleep, try other stress relievers such as taking a bath, spending time with your kids (if you're already have) and pets, playing video games, and doing the sports your love.
If you already suffer from colds, drink more water to avoid dehydration. Follow the tips above to recover fast and to avoid the virus from spreading, wash your hands every time you sneeze on your bare hands.

Like Duke, State played an exhibition Saturday, defeating Morehouse 87-62.
Unfortunately for State, Jordan Vandenberg didn't participate and will be out for a few weeks: his ankle injury against UNC Pembroke was fairly serious. He's not a great player by any stretch, but he is an experienced big man, and State doesn't have many of those.
State won the exhibition battle but lost the football war as UNC prevailed and celebrated midfield on State's new logo. Not surprisingly, the State team didn't much appreciate that.
So far anyway, Debbie Yow's firing of Tom O' Brien has worked out poorly: State is 0-5 in the ACC and there's not a lot of optimism.
With ACC basketball significantly upgraded after expansion, the path for Clemson grows more narrow. Ron Morris takes a look at Brad Brownell's situation. What we think a lot of people are missing is that Brownell is likely the best coach Clemson has ever had. He's young, he hasn't proven it on a big stage yet, but the guy is outstanding. His challenge is getting enough talent to prove it.
Jamie Dixon apparently is finding that high school players want to ask about his pace and how it'll work in the ACC. His answer? Looks can be deceiving, so you'd better check the numbers:
"I've looked at the numbers, numbers of possessions, scoring numbers and I know people keep saying this stuff about the ACC playing the game differently, but it really is a case of people not letting the facts get in the way of a good story. I looked at all of the offensive numbers, and it just isn't the case. There are a few outliers -- like North Carolina -- but the style of play in the ACC isn't that much different than the Big East."
Well, yes and no. Pace isn't the big deal. Not many teams shoot well these days either.
The difference between the leagues has always been about physical play. The old Big East was always a more physical league. Stocked with kids from the Northeast, from New York, New Jersey and Philly, the culture was always pretty distinct.
Compare it to say Duke, Kansas or Arizona. The Big East was always rougher.
That style of play is unlikely to work now, especially with the new emphasis on curbing physical play. And even in the Big East, the more skilled teams tended to prevail, and those teams, more often than not, were usually UConn and Syracuse.
