Junior Angelica Earls
Jan. 14, 2012
Nampa, Idaho -
The University of Nevada track & field team returned to indoor action at the Blue and Orange Opener hosted by Boise State at the Jacksons Indoor Track on Saturday. While no team scores were kept, Nevada's student-athletes fared well after having not competed for almost a month.
"It was great to see the team compete so well against such strong competition," head coach Shantel Twiggs said. "They put in a lot of effort in training during our break. We are off to a solid start, but we have a lot of work to do if we want to be a contender for a WAC indoor title, but this team is definitely up to the challenge."
Junior Angelica Earls set a new school record in the 60-meters Saturday, with her preliminary-round run of 7.59. Earls' mark was the second-best in the Western Athletic Conference this weekend against a field that included two of the top five times in the nation. She placed fifth in the event running 7.65 in the finals, beat out by Wolf Pack freshman Kashae Knox who placed fourth with a time of 7.63. Knox's mark of 7.63 becomes Nevada's all-time second-best in school history.
Junior Deborah Amoah, the team's leading triple-jumper, won that event Saturday, with a mark of 11.97-meters (39'3.25"). Amoah has also taken on learning the 60-meter hurdles this season, and placed fifth (8.83) in just her second-ever competition in the event. Both of her marks are the second best in each event against the WAC this weekend and her time in the hurdles becomes the eighth-best in school history.
"Debbi is just learning to hurdle, and I'm seeing some pretty big things happening with her throughout the season," Twiggs said. "She is quickly learning how important it is to be aggressive with each hurdle."
Senior April Pate placed seventh in the 60-meter hurdles with a run of 8.96. Pate also placed seventh in the shot put with a mark of 12.64-meters (41'5.75"). Seniors Nicole Williams and La Tijera Avery tied for second in the high jump at 1.65-meters (5'5.00"). Another senior, Alexa Anderson placed fifth in the long jump at 5.39-meters (17'8.25") ahead of Avery in seventh at 5.23-meters (17'2.00") and Williams in ninth at 5.19-meters (17'0.50").
The distance crew claimed six top-five finishes in three events led by sophomore Mariah Garmolini who placed third in the 800-meters with a time of 2:15.58. Freshman Caitlin Devitt-Payne placed fifth in the event with a time of 2:18.89. Junior Samantha Diaz placed fourth in the mile at 4:54.31. In the 5,000-meters, junior Nicole Painter led a trio of Pack runners placing second (19:20.16). Junior Tara Dines placed third (19:44.98) and sophomore Amber Karnofel placed fourth (20:26.78).
Nevada will next compete at the Bronco Invitational, which will be a return to the same facility from this weekend, hosted by the Broncos on January, 21.

I have nothing against language, but this joke is a lot less funny due to the word "fuckin'." It just seems so out of place.
It doesn't really seem necessary , a bit gratuitous - but it's hard to edit a cartoon.
Still? Did I miss an evolutionary leap? Shit, not again!
Just to be clear, did you mean morels or shiitakes?

We know that hockey isn't the most popular sport of all time. In fact, there are many regions where hockey barely even registers on the sports radar. So, sometimes unique and creative promotional tactics are required. However, often these awful tactics fail miserably and become more of a source of ridicule and humour than anything else.
That's where we come in.
Take our pal Boomer up there (image from Full Mental Jackets.) At first thought it makes sense that the Columbus Blue Jackets would use a cannon mascot to promote their new third jerseys which feature a cannon logo. The Blue Jackets have used Civil War imagery for a long time and this seems like a natural extension of that theme. Of course, the problem is that Boomer doesn't exactly look like a cannon. He looks more like a bong or a penis. We're not sure which one is worse, but they're both pretty bad ideas for a team mascot.
So Boomer didn't go over so well. In response to the criticism, the Blue Jackets decided to shrink Boomer's role and eventually retire him. Of course, the only thing worse than having a phallic mascot is deciding to shrink the phallic mascot. The headlines write themselves.
Of course, Boomer isn't the worst way to promote a hockey team ever. There are many worse ways.
For the record, we're just sticking to the NHL right now. If we went into the minor leagues we'd find about a million more terrible ways to promote hockey.
Yes, we've mentioned this one before, but the ridiculousness of it is hard to ignore. Again, the initial idea (use a character similar to those in popular movie 300 to hype up Senators fans) sounds okay, but the follow through was just awful. From the fact that the actor's microphone didn't really work to the visible writing inside the shield (perhaps the script?) this is just painful and hilarious to watch.
Florida Panthers games aren't exactly the most popular ticket in the league, so when the Cats wanted to fill the seats last season, they started marketing to fans of the opposition. They went all out in trying to lure fans from other cities to their games. This may have helped the team's bottom line, but it probably didn't do much for the atmosphere at the BankAtlantic Center.
Maybe the Panthers realized that, because they have an all new marketing idea this year:
The Panthers have created a "Red Zone" seating section for Panthers fans only. Apparently the team that was recently so welcoming of opposition fans is now saying "Visiting Fans Not Welcome." At least not in certain sections.
Sorry, Toronto Maple Leafs. A video where someone walks across the country picking up snow and water doesn't make you "Canada's Team," even if you then poured that water on the ice at the Air Canada Centre.
Strangely enough, that wasn't even the only "water being transported and poured on the ice" event that took place in the NHL that day.
Then Mario Lemieux went and, of course, poured that water on the ice. Pouring water on the ice is all the rage in the NHL these days. The Penguins then sold whatever was left over, because who doesn't want a $30 bottle of water?
Maybe kids like it? We're not sure. But the NHL Guardian Project seems pretty awful to our jaded, adult eyes. Apparently this thing didn't stop after the All-Star Game. It's been going on ever since and maybe some people are even following it. Who? Again, maybe kids.
Apparently the Guardian Project now has a partnership with NBCUniversal that could see the brand grow. Will this actually help promote the NHL or just embarrass fans? Why is the Leafs Guardian a tree?

Tobacco Center Expands Scope to Vermont
(Boston, 5/16/12) New England Law | Boston: With a $50,000 grant received from the State of Vermont, New England Law | Boston's Center for Public Health and Tobacco Policy has expanded its scope beyond New York to include tobacco-control programs in Vermont. The new Vermont effort will be headed by staff attorney Whitney S. Dodds '11.
"We are excited to work with the Vermont Department of Health over the coming year," said Professor Micah L. Berman, the center's director. "Vermont has been making steady progress in reducing tobacco use, and we hope our involvement will help to continue that trend."
Dodds, who worked for the center as a law clerk while she was a student, was hired in January to work with Vermont's 17 tobacco-control coalitions. "Whitney will be the go-to person for Vermont about policy and legal questions," said Berman. Her primary role will be to assist with developing model ordinances to limit promotion of tobacco products–particularly those that are often targeted to young people at cash-register displays known as "power walls"–and potentially to expand on the state's secondhand smoke laws to add restrictions at beaches, parks, and playgrounds.
The center, which opened in 2009 with a $2.5 million grant from the New York State Department of Health, has developed an impressive repository of tobacco-control information, available online. Topics include tobacco-free outdoor areas, taxation, smoke-free housing, retail promotion, non-cigarette tobacco products, and recent cases related to tobacco. These supplement detailed information on New York State and Vermont's tobacco control laws.

Cats&ScalesCounting my pennies tonight!
The poor piggy is fit to burst! My hubby is going to pick up some coin rolls from the bank and we're going to have a counting party with pancakes (Happy Pancake Day!). Not sure what we will use the money for yet, but I'll report the total and what it's for after we do the counting!
My grandpa used to save his change for me and my brother, and every once in a while, when his jar was full, he would give us the whole thing to split. It was tons of fun and we always got at least $20 each (which is a lot to 8 and 10 year olds). XD Ah, memories. 3 years ago

The Artist of All Artists
You haven't really realized your place in life until you've tried to describe a sunset in words. I realized this as I sat on a large rock near a creek on the University of Maryland campus and tried to describe the breathtaking view with pen and paper. I worked at it for several minutes and when I thought my list was perfect, I set my pen down and skimmed through the descriptions. At the end of my reading, I felt proud that my descriptions seemed so complete.
Then I studied the sky again.
Not even close.
The artist within each of us has an intense drive to describe what we see and feel; writers through words, painters through pigments, musicians through lyrics, poets through prose, and so on. We do not create anything new in the process; nature, emotions, and experiences already exist. We only try to capture a fraction of their magnitude. And still, no matter how many hours someone spends describing a sunset, it's not the same as seeing the actual sunset in person. No matter how I describe my experience walking down a dirt road towards a sparkling lake to the sound of chirping birds, you have to be there to really feel it.
And that speaks to our human limitations.
Our minds are not capable of functioning outside the paradigm we were born within. We cannot think in 4D, for instance, and we cannot make up a new primary color or a new texture. Every concept, no matter how brilliantly expressed, is an expansion of something we've already witnessed or understood. Even the impressionist artist, who puts a unique spin on real concepts, is constrained by his psyche.
When we produce art, we are only reflecting the artistry of the Divine, the greater Creator behind everything in the material and immaterial world. Treating our genius in the arts as proof that we are superior to the Divine or somehow self-sufficient is ridiculously backwards. Think about it: Could Monet's famous paintings of sunsets, for example, have existed without the sunset itself?
Like science and logic, art is one of the vehicles that can help us understand our existence and the nature of God. It can lead us towards Him, or it can lead us away from Him, depending on how we approach it. When art is approached as a goal and the means is ignored, it can also represent all that is wrong with humanity. When it breeds arrogance, or causes self-destruction or attachment to fleeting thrills, then it goes from being a useful tool to a dangerous weapon.
It's extremely important for institutions to encourage North American Muslims to express their thoughts, ideas, struggles, and experiences creatively, authentically, and within the Islamic spirit. The Islamic spirit is not an imposition of a list of halal (permissible) and haram (prohibited). It is a worldview that understands that our very existence is to serve the Creator and spread positive messages. The emphasis should be on higher-purpose art; art that goes beyond carnal representations and actually stirs the depths of our hearts and souls—art that acknowledges that every brilliant idea that has ever crossed the human mind is owned by God.
And it is this acknowledgement that is one of the deepest forms of worship.

A beautiful and indeed very artistic article. Love it!
Gorgeous! Thank you so much! As an artistic teenager I have always felt that one of the main reasons that so many Muslims are held back in this world is a lack of creativity, or appreciation of the work that goes into art.
While it is a beautifully written article, I disagree with it. Humans turn to art to vent out the torments of their souls. Because we are comprised of body, mind and soul, and literally our bodies and minds are overpowering our souls, the souls frustrations need an outlet. Art can be anything; for someone who relies on brawn, physical activity may be the medium, and for the brainy one, the medium could be canvas or paper. True art is one that is beautiful and obscene; I don't use obscene in the common usage, rather it has a broader sense. The obscenity that I use implies that art should disturb and arrest. The audience may not necessarily like it, but should end up having an opinion about it, without being indifferent.
Salams Qanit! Absolutely; art is not limited to one idea or form. It is meant to express the deepest crevices of our soul, and I believe that is why God gave us art. It has a therapeutic power to it. You may appreciate this Elevate Culture article, which builds upon the idea you expressed:
Jazakallah for that link. It resonates well with my convictions. The need to create a Muslim culture, encourage Muslim art is paramount. Unfortunately, we are going through a phase in our times, where a few hold moral authority and factions within our communities is evident.
Now English is not my first language, nay, not my second, nor my third but my fourth. So, I could be wrong here; but if we look at history, we find the example of Alexander Pope in English poetry, who wrote in layers. He masked a concept within a concept, not unlike the mysterious fruit which Pi discovered in the mysterious island mentioned in Life of Pi, by Yann Martel.
The need to speak the truth without fear, with our heads held high, remains of prime importance. Discretion, however, is the better part of valour, if Islamic art is to survive today.
MashaAllah! wonderful article. I hope to repost this on my blog, citing you completely of course. May Allah increase you in your project and make it flourish!
My feelings EXACTLY! We need to encourage our youth to express their thoughts and ideas creatively! Alhamdulillah, we created an Art Department at our school (Dar-un-Noor Academy in downtown Atlanta)last year and I am amazed at how much they've taught me about the world around them!

Syrijet Mark II
One of the 2 overriding reasons patients avoid or delay routine dental care is fear of the needle (or injection). The prospect of "no-needle anesthesia" provides a welcome alternative for existing patients while attracting many new patients to the practice. Occasionally, a well-established product deserves a first re-impression. These "oldies but goodies" that have been a part of everyday clinical practice for so long often blend into the background among the regularly used clinical tools. Syrijet Mark II by Mizzy (a division of Keystone Industries) is a needleless injector designed for reliable routine use in the dental practice. There is no needle, of course, just a pressurized infiltration of the anesthetic directly into the target tissue, a welcome change for the apprehensive patient. The patient should be warned of a little bump that they may feel or a sound they may hear; beyond that there is no discomfort. It eliminates needle apprehension and reduces patient anxiety, increasing practice efficiency. Syrijet Mark II uses any standard 1.8-cc anesthetic cartridge (dosage adjustable up to 0.2 cc per application). It is indicated for upper and lower anterior infiltration and topical anesthesia prior to posterior superior and inferior alveolar nerve blocks. Syrijet Mark II offers unbroken cartridge-to-orifice sterility; the unit is autoclavable. Interchangeable rubber caps fit on the tip easily. The injector is a precision instrument that offers many years of clinical use with routine care. Aside from a routine flushing out with water, no maintenance is required. I have personally used the Syrijet for more than 20 years with apprehensive patients. The needleless anesthetic option has certainly been a topic of interest for many patients, and has resulted in numerous referrals over the years.

|The triple tray is a boon for the dental practitioner. Used properly, it is a massive time saver, cutting 15 chairside minutes or more from the typical crown-and-bridge procedure. Limited to single- (or at most, 2-single unit) tooth preparations, it provides the final impression of the prepared abutment, the opposing arch, and the occlusal relationship in one single procedure. Past problems included the lack of tray body rigidity and sidewalls that did not adequately contain the impression material. TrioDent, the innovative New Zealand developer of clinical solutions, has just introduced the Triotray, a new direction in sectional impression taking. A sturdy metal frame construction with rolled edges maximizes tray stability, eliminating distortion and allowing accurate impressions. The metal in the retromolar area is very thin, permitting the patient to close completely during the impression, establishing the ideal interocclusal relationship for a well-fitting and occluding crown. Bendable metal tabs (that look like a dinosaur's spine projections) keep the impression material in the tray and the tongue and cheeks out. To customize the Triotray, simply preinsert the tray over the arch and use finger pressure to model the tabs to an ideal position. The Triotray's 3-D anatomy makes tray adhesives totally unnecessary, eliminating their obnoxious odor as well as the time spent in application and drying. Triotrays provide impressions that present all the information necessary to the lab technician, including a rigid framework that results in both an accurate fit and an excellent occlusion. This, in turn, allows the dentist to seat and cement the crown quickly and efficiently with minimal occlusal adjustment.

Not all seventh-generation adhesives are created equal. Their major advantage is that this generation of bonding agents is all-inclusive, one-step, self-etch adhesives that can be used for a wide variety of clinical situations in direct restorative dentistry. Since this class of adhesives is characterized by one single component and one single application step, there is little likelihood of clinical confusion or sequential error. Thus, the technique sensitivity and clinical failures of seventh-generation adhesives are very limited. In fact, there is an excellent chance of adhesive success in just about every instance. A long-time international leader in dental bonding agents, SHOFU has recently introduced BeautiBond, an innovative dual-adhesive monomer that has been designed to maximize adhesion to both enamel and dentin, with a separate chemistry for each. The 2 monomers, phosphonic acid for enamel and carboxylic acid for dentin, deliver equal bond strength to enamel and dentin and include a new polymerization catalyst. BeautiBond's phosphonic acid monomer is a more stable than phosphoric acid and enhances enamel bonding. The adhesive is HEMA-free, eliminating gingival blanching, and irritation. The low film thickness of approximately 5 µm ensures better adaptation of the composite resin restoration to the remaining tooth structure. Worldwide clinical trials have demonstrated the efficacy and the bond strength of BeautiBond and have shown it to be comparable to or better than most multicomponent self-etching adhesives. The stable design of the unit-dose capsule prevents it from tipping over and spilling the adhesive. The unit dose also prevents cross-contamination. BeautiBond is the single step to better adhesion for both enamel and dentin. For more information, call (800) 827-4638 or visit the Web site at shofu.com.
G-CEM Automix Self-Adhesive Luting Cement
|While resin cements are far superior to zinc phosphate and polycarboxylate, the earlier versions of these materials required numerous steps of etching, priming, bonding, drying, ceramic activation, etc. The typical resin cementation procedure called for a 6-handed operatory, not the customary dentist-assistant scenario. The introduction of self-adhesive luting cements has done much to popularize the utilization of this category. GC America's new G-CEM Automix self-adhesive luting cement is indicated for the permanent cementation of all-ceramic, PFM, and prefabricated restorations (crowns, bridges, inlays, onlays, and posts). The self-adhesive cement is moisture-tolerant, and is offered both in triturable capsules and automix syringes. For post cementation, elongation delivery tips are available to introduce the cement into the deepest portions of the post space. G-CEM self-adhesive luting cement eliminates the effort, technique-sensitivity, and chairside time of etching, priming, bonding, etc. Furthermore, its chemistry minimizes the risk of postoperative sensitivity, largely by eliminating the etching step. Dentinal tubules not exposed to acid etching are far less likely to be sensitive after treatment. The G-CEM capsules have approximately 70% more cement than competitors. The cement is easily cleaned after a 1- to 4-second tack cure; simply peel it from the buccal, lingual, and interproximal areas. Thus, by the time that the self-cure is completed, the margins of the restorations are generally clean and require only minor tidying. G-CEM Automix self-adhesive luting cement has excellent adhesive strength and demonstrates improved bond strength to dentin, enamel, and zirconia after repeated thermocycling. It is available in shades A2 and the popular translucent, both with excellent aesthetics and color stability. For more information, call (800) 323-7063 or visit gcamerica.com.
Kobo Chair Version 1
Typically, dentists spend far more time and money selecting their "television" chairs than their dental stools. Paradoxically, the recliner or massage chair (costing $1,000 to $5,000) will be occupied for no more than 2 to 3 hours daily, whereas the dental stool used for 8 to 10 hours (day-in, day-out) receives far less attention. DK&E Technology has introduced the Kobo Chair Version 1 to alleviate the back and shoulder strain that commonly develops from unergonomic "lean-forward" work habits. The Kobo Chair Version 1 looks like a conventional operator's stool. Counterintuitively, however, the dentist sits facing the vertical support rather than facing away from it. The vertical panel provides firm support for a forward leaning body, decreasing or eliminating back and shoulder strain. The unlocked vertical chest cushion allows forward body movement while a locked cushion prevents movement entirely. Innovative removable arm supports provide relief from prolonged forearm extension and suspension that cause upper arm, shoulder, and neck pain. The arm supports provide stability during longer procedures and delicate operations requiring steady hands. The armrests swing freely in order to follow the operator's natural arm movements and give maximum latitude for any position comfortable for the clinician. They can be positioned close to or far from the stool and are easily adjusted to any desired vertical position for practitioner comfort. The seat cushion has variable front to back settings for optimized dentist positioning. Both the seat and chest cushion heights are fully adjustable to accommodative a variety of body contours and heights. The 5 casters of the Kobo Chair Version 1 offer increased stability during easy movement, also making it very compact and suited to minimalist office de-signs. The Kobo Chair Version 1 dental stool can be counted on to support you. For more information, call (888) 466-5033 or visit the Web site at kobochair.com.
Xyli-Tots Tooth Gel and Xyli-Tots Oral Wipes
|Despite the best efforts of the dental profession, dental caries is still the No. 1 childhood disease, far more prevalent than any other, affecting up to 30% of children up to 6 years of age. Since this age group is likely to have minimal direct input from the dental team, it is important that their parents who do visit the dentist regularly receive the education and the tools to actively prevent childhood dental decay. CariFree has introduced 2 child-friendly products, Xyli-Tots Tooth Gel and Xyli-Tots Oral Wipes, that are designed to not only combat dental caries in young children but to also promote good oral health as a fun and desirable activity. Xyli-Tots Tooth Gel is a grape-flavored, fluoride-free gel that combines the well-established benefits of xylitol with CariFree's innovative pH+ technology and is safe for the child to swallow. Used twice daily, it is spread evenly on the teeth. For children where the gel may be difficult to apply to the oral structures, Xyli-Tots Oral Wipes keep the teeth and the gums healthy as well as clean from the earliest of ages. The Oral Wipes are also used to clean a child's teeth "on the go," creating a healthy oral environment by elevating the acidic pH of the mouth to a noncaries promoting level with its pH+ technology. It is available in 2 flavors, Grape Giggles and Watermelon Wiggles. Pro-fessionals and parents can work together to begin the elimination of dental decay at the very earliest ages by reducing caries-producing bacteria in the child's mouth and replacing fermentable sugars with the bacterially indigestible xylitol.

Developing Managers for Team-Driven Success
Investors know that past performance is no indication of future returns. Unfortunately, this can also hold true for employees as they rise through the management ranks.
When new managers fail to recognize that they're on a path with greater responsibilities, they may cling to tasks at which they once excelled but that now belong to those they lead. Managers need to learn how to correct any behaviors that hinder leadership and unintentionally obstruct or alienate employees.
Subversion in lieu of supervision occurs from neglect as well as from "command and control" rigidity. Delays, dissension and turnover can result from the following executive behaviors:
• Micromanagement: Decisions are imposed, not delegated. First-line authority is overruled openly. There are frequent project status checks, and brainstorming is given a low priority.
• Communication gaps: Goals, strategies, expectations and timelines are not shared. E-mail copying and forwarding is not used as an awareness tool. Feedback is withheld.
• Inconsistency: There are abrupt reversals, deadline changes and frequent new priorities.
• Intimidation: There's a disproportionate focus on discipline, not coaching, including public criticism and rudeness.
• Self-promotion:Opportunities are not shared, and credit is hoarded.
• Lack of mentoring: Subordinate managers are not groomed for advancement. Cross-training and interdepartmental assignments are not encouraged, and access to upper management is restricted.
The reassuring news is that managers who unwittingly build barriers can also remove them. The most productive results arise when senior management recognizes a need for structural and cultural change, rather than paying isolated attention to midlevel managers.
Senior executives should take a wide-angle look to identify opportunities to empower and motivate front-line managers, while avoiding corrective approaches that stigmatize and single out individuals. Proven approaches for strengthening behavior follow a three-step process: awareness, readiness and commitment (ARC).
The first step—awareness—involves enlightening managers by challenging assumptions and creating new understandings. Readiness—the second step —involves searching for better tools and approaches. These two steps may involve anonymous surveys, 360-degree evaluations or focus groups. Also, training can address issues that range from delegating and mentoring to problem-solving and leadership styles.
Commitment is the "staying power" step. It requires time and effort to indoctrinate managers with new behaviors and ensure they stay committed to change.
Learn It, Do It, Achieve It
Here's how conference room lessons can turn into game-changing actions:
Old way: Inefficient delegating plagues organizations. It's basic human nature: Managers think they delegate, but, typically, they simply dump tasks and responsibilities onto subordinates.
New way: Managers delegate the top three items on their desk and follow up periodically to monitor progress. They also provide support and resources to ensure success. Multiple goals are accomplished: Front-line managers gain knowledge, confidence and respect. Supervisors gain time for strategic planning, process improvements and new initiatives. Coaching and succession are addressed.
Old way: Decisions flow from discussions that have no forceful pushback or where negativity is based on presumed outcomes and reflexive pessimism.
New way: Rotate an "official dissent" role among line managers to develop contrarian ideas. Sanctioned opposition can be a powerful tool for collaborative decision making, analytic skill building and improved outcomes.
Old way: Ineffective initiatives are buried quietly, perhaps with overt or covert blame. Any failure is a career ding.
New way: The word "failure" is rarely or never heard. Setbacks are seen as learning opportunities that foster problem solving.
It's easier to summarize strategies and tactics than to transform a workplace with robust, durable changes that support front-line managers, elevate their impact and inspire their loyalty. With a top-down tone and visible commitment, those transformations can be measured in reduced costs, increased productivity, higher employee satisfaction scores and improved retention. Sincerity, flexibility and patience are vital tools for reshaping an environment into one that helps entry-level managers thrive.

Lou Jones at PhotoPlus Expo 2010
One of the many things that I like about PhotoPlus Expo in NY, is chatting with the photographers who visit the Lowepro booth. They're interesting and are happy to share their knowledge. We provide a place for them to show off their stuff too.
Here's a short video featuring Lou Jones. I first met Lou at PhotoPlus last year. He's a master with portable, off-camera flash. So I asked him how he's packing his Pro Roller x200. Here's what he had to say.
Derrick Story is the Photography Evangelist for Lowepro.

Simo Häyhä (Finnish pronunciation: [ˈsimɔ ˈhæy̯hæ]; December 17, 1905 – April 1, 2002), nicknamed "White Death" (Russian: Белая смерть, Belaya Smert; Finnish: valkoinen kuolema; Swedish: den vita döden) by the Red Army, was a Finnish marksman. Using a modified Mosin–Nagant in the Winter War, he acquired the highest recorded number of confirmed sniper kills (505) in any major war.[2]
Early life[edit]
Häyhä was born in the municipality of Rautjärvi near the present-day border of Finland and Russia, and started his military service in 1925. Before entering combat, Häyhä was a farmer and hunter. At the age of 20, he joined the Finnish militia Suojeluskunta and succeeded with his sniping skills in shooting sports in Viipuri province. His home was reportedly full of trophies for marksmanship.[3]
Winter War service[edit]
During the Winter War (1939–1940) between Finland and the Soviet Union, Häyhä served as a sniper for the Finnish Army against the Red Army in the 6th Company of JR 34 during the Battle of Kollaa. In temperatures between −40 °C (−40 °F) and −20 °C (−4 °F), dressed completely in white camouflage, Häyhä was credited with 505 confirmed kills of Soviet soldiers.[2][4] A daily account of the kills at Kollaa was made for the Finnish snipers. All of Häyhä's kills were accomplished in fewer than 100 days – an average of just over five kills per day – at a time of year with very few daylight hours.[5][6][7]
Häyhä used a Finnish militia variant of the Russian-made Mosin–Nagant rifle, the White Guard M/28 early variant "Pystykorva" (literally Spitz, due to the front sight's resemblance to the head of a spitz-type dog) chambered in 7.62×53R, the Finnish Mosin–Nagant cartridge, because it suited his small frame (1.6 m (5 ft 3 in)). He preferred to use iron sights rather than telescopic sights to present a smaller target for the enemy (a sniper must raise his head higher when using a telescopic sight), to increase accuracy (a telescopic sight's glass can fog up easily in cold weather), and to aid in concealment (sunlight glare in telescopic sight lenses can reveal a sniper's position). As well as these tactics, he frequently packed dense mounds of snow in front of his position to conceal himself and provide padding for his rifle. He was also known to keep snow in his mouth whilst sniping, to reduce steamy breaths giving away his position in the cold air.[8]
The Soviets' efforts to kill Häyhä included counter-snipers and artillery strikes, and on March 6, 1940, Häyhä was shot in his lower left jaw by a Russian soldier. He was picked up by fellow soldiers who said "half his cheek was missing", but he did not die, regaining consciousness on March 13, the day peace was declared. Shortly after the war, Häyhä was promoted from alikersantti (corporal) to vänrikki (second lieutenant) by Field Marshal Carl Gustaf Emil Mannerheim.[9]
Later life[edit]
It took several years for Häyhä to recuperate from his wound. The bullet had crushed his jaw and blown off his left cheek. Nonetheless, he made a full recovery and became a successful moose hunter and dog breeder after World War II, and hunted with Finnish President Urho Kekkonen.[8]
When asked in 1998 how he had become such a good shooter, Häyhä answered "Practice." When asked if he regretted killing so many people, he said, "I only did my duty, and what I was told to do as well as I could." Simo Häyhä spent his last years in Ruokolahti, a small municipality located in southeastern Finland, near the Russian border. He died in 2002 at the age of 96.[9]

MORE THAN 60 percent of American women older than 60 take calcium on a regular basis believing that it strengthens bones and improves health. But that may change with the publication of new research that suggests that not only is calcium ineffective at preventing bone fractures, it may be harmful to your health.
After decades of believing in the benefits of calcium supplements for women, most doctors were surprised and skeptical when in 2010, researchers reviewed data from the famous Women's Health Initiative study and found that calcium might be associated with heart attacks and strokes. Soon after, an article from Australia contradicted those findings, suggesting that calcium was safe to take.
But now a new study, published Feb. 13 in the British Medical Journal, looked at a population of nearly 62,000 Swedish women over a long time frame — nearly 20 years. The women were closely surveyed for their dietary calcium intake as well as calcium supplements (in pill form). Their intake of calcium was then correlated to a number of important outcomes — the risk of death from all causes, cardiovascular disease, heart attacks and stroke.
After an average of 19 years of follow-up, women who took 1,400 milligrams of calcium per day (about 3 calcium pills per day), had a 40 percent higher risk of death from all causes and nearly 50 percent higher risk of cardiovascular disease. Most importantly, women who took high doses of calcium doubled their risk of a heart attack. Calcium did not appear to increase the risk of stroke.
The authors of this study concluded that high intake of calcium in women is associated with higher death rate and cardiovascular disease. They postulate a number of reasons why calcium may be harmful, but the bottom line is that we just don't know.
What is clear is that the body regulates calcium blood levels very carefully, and it will absorb as much as needed. Taking extra calcium seems to overwhelm the normal calcium regulatory system in the body, causing a number of dangerous effects. This does not apply to women with very low calcium intake who may still need calcium supplementation.
Beyond being dangerous, there is increasing evidence that calcium supplements have minimal effect on bone strength.
This week, the U.S. Preventative Services Task Force, the most influential national guideline group, issued a press release stating it no longer recommends calcium supplements for women. This new finding had nothing to do with the risk of calcium causing heart disease and death. The recommendation was issued because a comprehensive review of the medical literature suggests that calcium doesn't work to prevent bone fractures in otherwise healthy women. The task force also suggested that vitamin D supplements are not needed for most women as well.
In the words of the task force: "The USPSTF concludes that the current evidence is insufficient to assess the balance of the benefits and harms of daily supplementation with greater than 400 IU of vitamin D3 and greater than 1,000 milligrams of calcium for the primary prevention of fractures in "... postmenopausal women."
This does not apply to women with known bone disease including women with documented osteoporosis who may need calcium supplements along with other osteoporosis medications. It also does not apply to women with documented low vitamin D levels who may require supplementation.
But for the average healthy postmenopausal woman, popping two or three calcium plus vitamin D pills per day should not be considered a routine recommendation anymore. Talk to your doctor about it and assess your risk. If you are at the age where you need a bone density test, get that done before you take unnecessary and perhaps harmful supplements.
This also doesn't apply to a diet high in calcium — which most experts continue to recommend for healthy women. Calcium rich foods include dairy products, dark leafy greens (spinach, kale, turnips, collard greens), soy products, and enriched breads and cereals. Weight bearing exercise including walking, hiking, jogging, weight training, dancing, aerobics, jumping, and tennis stress the bones (a good thing) and make them stronger. Active women tend to have much better bone density than sedentary women. Healthy women who are a bit above their ideal weight also have stronger bones than thinner women.
Eat right and exercise — sometimes we sound like broken records but when it comes down to it, the message is the same: lead a healthy natural life. Be active, eat good foods and avoid any unnecessary pills or supplements.

The logistics of planning a wedding are ~ to say the least ~ daunting. Who, what, when, where. All the input from loving and well-meaning family and friends. At times, it seems that the best thing to do would be to throw your hands in the air and elope! But this couple, did one better. They turned their engagement party into a surprise wedding. Their talented team of vendors all pitched in and made it into the happiest occasion possible!

Ashley Zimmer, a senior accounting major from Eau Claire, WI, was named the College of Business 2011 Outstanding Senior. She will also graduate with a minor in management and a certificate in advanced business communication.
"I selected accounting as a major because I have always enjoyed working with numbers and being organized," said Zimmer. "Through my management minor and BCOM certificate I have learned how to be a more effective communicator in the accounting profession," she continued.
Success to Zimmer means working hard and staying true to what she wants to achieve. Except for two scholarships she received from the Departments of Accounting and Finance and Business Communication, Zimmer has financed her entire education by working several jobs all at the same time. Currently she provides accounting and office administrative services to Heartland Aviation, a company she has worked for since 2006; she has been a teaching assistant since 2009 to Terry Wells, a senior lecturer in the Department of Management and Marketing, and Zimmer was recently hired as a payroll and accounting clerk for Precision Pipeline, LLC.
Zimmer has also completed two internships—a 1½ year accounting internship with Midwest Manufacturing in Eau Claire, WI, and a 3-month tax internship with RSM McGladrey, Inc, a public accounting firm in Minneapolis, MN. She is a member of both the Student Accounting Society and Beta Alpha Psi accounting and finance honorary society, and she has served as a mentor for University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire, Phase II Freshman Orientation.
Zimmer's immediate plans include securing a position with a public accounting firm in the Chippewa Valley, sitting for all four parts of the CPA examination, and planning and preparing for her September wedding. She hopes to use her experience in public accounting to one day secure a management position in the private sector.
"You only need to spend 10 minutes with Ashley to know why she won the award as our COB Outstanding Senior," said Wells. "Ashley is extremely dedicated to any task that she undertakes, whether it is her accounting studies, working for me, or studying for her CPA," she continued. "She has the energy, organization skills and intelligence to be successful in any future endeavors."
