About Pediatric Neurology at Morgan Stanley Children's Hospital
The NewYork-Presbyterian Morgan Stanley Children's Hospital, located at NewYork-Presbyterian's Columbia University Medical Center campus, is the flagship facility for the most comprehensive pediatric care in the Tri-state area. The Division of Pediatric Neurosurgery, one of the largest in the Northeast, offers comprehensive services for all children with neurosurgical issues. With three full-time pediatric board-certified neurosurgeons practicing at the highest ranked Children's Hospital in the Tri-State area, the Division provides a broad range of expertise in an unparalleled, supportive environment. In conjunction with the Divisions of Pediatric Neurology, Pediatric Oncology, and Pediatric Critical Care, clinical problems including hydrocephalus, brain and spinal tumors, Chiari malformation, craniosynostosis, tethered cord, complex spinal deformity, spasticity, epilepsy, arteriovenous malformations (AVMs), moya-moya, and many other disorders are treated with the most effective methods available (see below). Patients can be seen at nine convenient locations throughout the Tri-state area from Central New Jersey to Southern Connecticut.
Pediatric Neurology Services at Morgan Stanley Children's Hospital
The goal of the multidisciplinary spasticity center at the Morgan Stanley Children's Hospital is to provide the highest level comprehensive care for children with spasticity. By combining expertise in pediatric neurosurgery, neurology, orthopedics, physical therapy, occupational therapy, nursing, orthotics, and social work, our team is able to offer a global team assessment, implement a well-balanced treatment plan, and provide continuous follow-up care. Providing compassionate care in the highest ranked children's hospital in the Tri-state area, our team offers comprehensive physical and occupational therapy assessments, intramuscular injections, oral medications, orthopedic surgical treatments, and neurosurgical treatment options including intrathecal baclofen pump and minimally invasive selective dorsal rhizotomy.
In the Division of Pediatric Neurosurgery at the Morgan Stanley Children's Hospital, recent advances have made surgery for children with craniosynostosis shorter and safer. Minimally invasive endoscopic-assisted craniosynostosis surgery utilizes a small camera to assist with removal of the abnormal bone that causes skull deformity through one or two one-inch incisions. The surgery is performed in one to two hours, children rarely need a blood transfusion, and they typically go home the next day. This is in striking contrast to the traditional approaches used to treat craniosynostosis at nearly all other centers in the Northeast. Traditional approaches typically require a large incision across the top of the head from ear to ear, removal of a much larger amount of bone, and then reshaping and replacement of the removed bone. This surgical approach usually requires 4-6 hours, causes much more pain and swelling, requires a blood transfusion, and children remain in the hospital for about 4-7 days. The key for success using the minimally invasive endoscopic-assisted approach is to intervene early, when the bone is thin. Removal of the prematurely closed suture (the abnormal bone) when the child is between two and six months of age allows the skull to develop a more normal shape as the child grows. The use of a helmet for 6-12 months after surgery helps facilitate this bone remodeling.
Complex spinal deformity
Recent advances in spinal surgery have revolutionized care for children with spinal disorders and scoliosis. Many children, for example, can develop instability at the upper part of the spine (called the craniovertebral junction) either after trauma or secondary to genetic disorders like Down syndrome. It is critical to stabilize the spine in these children or devastating injury to the spinal cord can occur. Traditional approaches have been to perform surgery using bone and wires and then bracing children in a halo for 3-6 months. A halo involves placing a ring around the child's head, which is secured with 6 to 10 screws directly into the skull, and then connecting it with four metal rods to a plastic shell around the chest. Even in the most experienced centers, the success rate for this surgery was only about 80%, there were many complications using the halo, and many children required repeated surgery. Using newer, innovative techniques, we can now safely use rigid instrumentation to directly stabilize the spine without the need for a halo or other cumbersome postoperative bracing. By placing different types of screws into the bone and directly across the joint, they immediately stabilize the damaged region of the spine. Children are able to resume normal activities much earlier than with traditional approaches, and without the discomfort and complications of invasive bracing. Studies have shown that these techniques can be used even in very young children without halting growth of the spine. Our pediatric neurosurgeons have more experience with these techniques than any other center in the Northeast. They have played a major role in advancing the field of spinal instrumentation at the craniovertebral junction in children, with success rates for the surgery approaching 100%.
The Pediatric Epilepsy Center at the Morgan Stanley Children's Hospital is one of the most active pediatric epilepsy programs on the East Coast and is a major referral program for the treatment of intractable seizures. A comprehensive multidisciplinary team provides evaluation and treatment for the most complex patients. Our state of the art Pediatric Epilepsy Monitoring Unit serves nearly 400 patients a year.
Tumors of the brain and spine
A major thrust of our clinical and research efforts at the Morgan Stanley Children's Hospital revolves around children with tumors of the brain and spine. Weekly multidisciplinary conferences including neurosurgery, neurology, oncology, nursing, and social work allow individually tailored treatment plans to insure the best possible outcomes. Active participation in the Children's Oncology Group allows children to participate in treatment protocols offered only at selected centers across the nation. Furthermore, we are actively conducting both basic science laboratory research and clinical trials to offer hope for children with malignant brain tumors.
Vascular disorders
The Morgan Stanley Children's Hospital has a rich history in managing complex vascular conditions of the young and developing brain. Working in close collaboration with the interventional radiology department we have greatly reduced the risks and improved outcome in children with complex vascular conditions such as arteriovenous malformations (AVM), aneurysms and Moyamoya disease. We have a large collaborative effort with the pediatric hematologists and have published the largest series of children with Moyamoya and Sickle Cell Anemia. Using highly focused radiation therapy in the form of the Gamma Knife (known as stereotactic radiosurgery) allows us to treat AVMs in very delicate and deep seated locations in the brain. Without this technology many of these vascular lesions were thought to be untreatable in the past. Not every child with a vascular lesion of the brain or spinal cord requires surgery. Working with our team, many children have been successfully cured never having to have undergone open neurosurgery.
Pediatric neurocritical care
The intensive care units at the Morgan Stanley Children's Hospital provide care around the clock to infants, children, and adolescents with life-threatening neurological illnesses and injuries, as well as those recovering from major or high-risk neurological surgery. The Critical Care Division oversees all of the clinical care in our 41-bed Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU), treating more than 1,900 patients annually. The staff is committed to the principles of family-centered care. Parents are key participants on their child's health-care team and we encourage them to spend as much time as possible at the bedside in the ICU with their child.
Neuromuscular, metabolic and other neurological disorders
Doctors at the Morgan Stanley Children's Hospital offer particular expertise in the diagnosis and treatment of rare and more common metabolic and genetic diseases, developmental disorders, and neuromuscular conditions. We provide coordinated care through dedicated programs for the treatment of autism and related disorders, muscular dystrophy, and spinal muscular atrophy. Our laboratory and clinical research program enables patients with challenging conditions to participate in trials of experimental therapies.

Comments about Chauvet D-Fi Plus Wireless DMX System:
This is one of the best items i've bought for DMX lighting. I've been pulling 100's of feet of DMX cabling for years. Buying these has eliminated those long cable runs. The device is easily switchable between sending the DMX signal or receiving it. So I have my lighting console with a 3' cable to 1 box in transmitt mode. On the distant lighting trusses I have others set to receive mode. Then another short cable connects the output of the receiver to the input of dimmer packs, intelligent/LED lights, etc. short DMX cables daisy chain nearby lights as is normally done. Using these has cut setup and strike times, which is a big stress reliever when under the gun to get up and running quickly.

The verdict is out on the Alabama immigration law: unfortunately, the federal judge has partially rejected the federal government's request to block this strict new law that is considered to be the toughest on illegal immigrants. It makes it a crime for an illegal resident to apply for a job, it requires public schools to check the immigration status of students, and it authorizes state police to verify the immigration status of people who are detained or arrested, among other provisions. The Justice Department had filed a lawsuit against it, claiming the law is unconstitutional on the grounds it usurps federal authority over immigration. But U.S. District Judge Sharon Blackburn of Alabama has upheld key sections of the Alabama law concluding that they are not preempted by federal law. The judge kept the provisions authorizing local police to inquire about detainees' immigration status and requiring public school to verify students' immigration status. The judge did, however, ban other sections of the law, ruling that "there is a substantial likelihood" that the Justice Department can establish that the sections are preempted by federal law. The judge also blocked provisions that would have made it a crime for illegal residents to apply for a job and those making it unlawful for people to "conceal, harbor or shield" an illegal resident. Alabama governor Robert Bentley has released a statement calling the judge's ruling a "victory for Alabama." "If the federal government had done its job by enforcing its own immigration laws, there would be no need for Alabama-or other states-to pass a law such as this. Unfortunately they have failed to do their job. I am optimistic that this law will be completely upheld, and I remain committed to seeing this law fully implemented. I will continue to fight at every turn to defend this law against any and all challenges." An attorney with the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) Immigrants' Rights Project, which has also challenged the Alabama law in court, called the ruling a "mixed bag." The judge let stand sections of the Alabama law "that are of serious concern, and the enforcement of those sections would lead to widespread civil rights violations. [On the other hand] It is positive that she has [blocked] some of the [harshest] sections of the law." The outcome of this law may be somewhat of a disappointment yet this in no way undermines the federal government's overall direction when it comes to this matter. A spokesperson for the Department of Justice (DOJ) said they are reviewing the ruling to determine its next steps. "We will continue to evaluate state immigration-related laws and will not hesitate to bring suit if, in fact, a state creates its own immigration policy or enforces state laws in a manner that interferes with federal immigration law," the DOJ official said. Be that as it may, hope is never lost. This verdict along with the federal government's directive sheds a ray of hope for all of those who are being persecuted by strict state laws such as this one.

House Leaders Strike Deal with UAW on Pension Measure
House Education and the Workforce Chairman Boehner and Ways and Means Chairman Thomas announced today they had made concessions to unions on pension legislation and said the United Auto Workers now supports the bill, possibly clearing the way for a floor vote, CongressDaily reported today. The UAW had opposed the bill until today's negotiating session, and the prospect of the union carrying more Democratic votes gives GOP leaders more leeway for a possible floor vote. The floor schedule, however, is crowded and little time is available. Majority Whip Blunt today said a floor vote is likely this week, but he did not say when. "It's going to be a bipartisan effort," said Blunt, who previously had tamped down expectations that the House would act on the bill before the end of the year.
Boehner and Thomas agreed to ease provisions in their bill that prevent companies from increasing benefits to workers while their pension plans are in poor financial condition. The underlying bill is aimed at tightening pension rules and requiring companies to pay significantly more into their pension coffers. The UAW had complained that the bill was too restrictive for workers because it banned pension plans that were less than 80 percent funded from negotiating with workers for increases in pension payments. Boehner has argued that companies often promise generous future benefits even when their pension accounts are in bad shape. The union similarly had argued against the bill's restrictions on companies paying workers "shutdown" benefits.
In an announcement, Thomas and Boehner called the changes "modest." The changes "remain consistent with the bill's overall balanced approach of protecting worker and retiree pension assets while not forcing employers out of the defined benefit pension system our bill aims to strengthen," they said. "The UAW's support adds even more momentum to the ever-growing coalition of employer and labor support for the Pension Protection Act, and we expect the House to pass this measure before Congress adjourns this year." The Senate has passed a pension bill that differs from the House version.

Global Capital Markets, Asia and Europe
Having taught internationally, Dr. Jindra's research interests include global capital markets with an emphasis on Asia and Europe. The Financial Management Association International (FMA) conferred its "Best Paper in Financial Institutions and Markets" on his recent research, "Crises, Liquidity Shocks and Fire Sales at Financial Institutions," which he co-authored with professors Jean Helwege of University of South Carolina and Nicole Boyson of Northeastern University. "The paper's findings may be perceived to be controversial because they indicate that providing liquidity alone does not prevent financial crises," said Jindra. "Our analysis of commercial banks, investment banks, and hedge funds shows that their behavior during crises is not driven by lack of liquidity but, rather, reflects the importance of credit risk and concerns about growth of the economy." Dr. Jindra received a bachelor's degree in Business Administration from the University of Florida and his doctorate in Finance from Ohio State University

The Original Social Media, and Most Important, is the Phone Call
While thinking through some
social media topics recently I realized that the original and still current
champion of real social media is the simple phone call.
Think about it. Your potential
customer gets in an accident. They get three or four names of body shops in
their area from their insurer and they start calling them. If theyâre left on
hold or the person answering the phone is rude or inattentive, many people will
simply hang up and call the next shop on their list. So the big question isâdo
you give good phone or are you currently losing business by falling short in
this important area of customer service?

Calculator: The Cost of Wireless Networks
Can wireless networks increase productivity by giving office workers access to vital data while they're in meetings or letting them work from hot spots away from the office? You can justify the cost of a wireless network if you believe it will get you even one extra productive hour a week out of each employee, according to this downloadable calculator put together by Alinean, a consultancy that specializes in advice on getting the most out of corporate information-technology spending.
The calculator will let you cost out a wireless network for your business.

If, as many argue, broadband and economic growth are correlated (we might have more debate about whether the relationship is causal, or not), then lagging adoption of broadband might be presumed to be bad for economic growth.
A huge percentage of small businesses apparently do not have their own websites, a study by e-mail services supplier E-mail Brokers suggests.
On the other hand, it appears business purchasing of high-speed access is quite high.
According to recent studies of broadband adoption in Europe, it would not be at all unusual for well over 85 percent of businesses with at least five employees to be using broadband.
Even as early as 2008, for example, 93 percent of enterprises in the United Kingdom with 10 or more employees used the Internet, while more than 87 percent of U.K. enterprises had a broadband connection. Granted, small business adoption and enterprise adoption, are different matters.
But similar studies in the U.S. market suggest that most small businesses are buying and using broadband. In fact, according to AMI Partners, small and medium-sized business broadband penetration is already almost 90 percent, and despite the recession is expected to grow to almost 95 percent by 2013.
So we have a bit of a conundrum. On one hand, it appears most small businesses use broadband. Far fewer presumably operate their own websites, especially those equipped for e-commerce.
Is that a problem? While it would be understandable that suppliers of marketing services would argue there is an issue, others might disagree.
Presumably small business owners have a business logic for buying broadband access. Perhaps not all smaller businesses have as compelling a belief that a website provides such clear value that it is a priority "right now." Perhaps there is more universal acknowledgement that, "we need e-mail access" and "the ability to surf the Web," or "accept credit card and debit card payments."
Maybe the value of a branded website is not deemed so important. That might be especially true for franchisees, who can assume the franchising brand will create and support such sites. In other cases, a small business might well decide a presence on Yelp or Google Plus is sufficient.

E*TRADE Financial Corporation Announces Second Quarter 2012 Results
Interest Coverage
Interest coverage represents EBITDA divided by corporate interest expense. Management believes that by excluding the charges and expenses that are excluded from EBITDA, interest coverage provides a useful additional measure of the Company's ability to continue to meet interest obligations and liquidity needs. See endnote (10) for a reconciliation of this non-GAAP measure to the comparable GAAP measure.
Bank Earnings Before Taxes and Before Credit Losses
Bank earnings before taxes and before credit losses represents the pre-tax earnings of E*TRADE Bank's holding company, ETB Holdings, Inc. ("Bank") before provision for loan losses, gains on loans and securities, net, net impairment and losses on early extinguishment of FHLB advances. This metric shows the amount of earnings that the Bank, after accruing for the interest expense on its trust preferred securities, generates each quarter prior to credit related losses, primarily provision and losses on securities. Management believes this non-GAAP measure is useful to investors and analysts as it is an indicator of the level of credit related losses the Bank can absorb without causing a decline in E*TRADE Bank's excess risk-based capital. See endnote (11) for a reconciliation of this non-GAAP measure to the comparable GAAP measure.E*TRADE Bank Tier 1 Common Ratio and E*TRADE Financial Ratios E*TRADE Financial ratios, including Tier 1 leverage, Tier 1 risk-based capital and total risk-based capital ratios, are based on the Federal Reserve regulatory minimum well-capitalized threshold. E*TRADE Bank's and E*TRADE Financial's Tier 1 common ratios are defined as the Tier 1 capital less elements of Tier 1 capital that are not in the form of common equity, such as trust preferred securities, divided by total risk-weighted assets. Management believes these ratios are an important measure of E*TRADE Bank's and the Company's capital strength. See endnotes (3), (18) and (19) for reconciliations of these non-GAAP measures to the comparable GAAP measures.

Thats an awesome pic Chuck6d.
Does anyone else have more pics of the irish army, there has to be some out there
jeöö irsshhh guys
dropkick murpghyyys : D
That's a great photo you found Chuck6d... the "ARW Patrol Member" one. He is wearing the Irish Army Ranger tab "Fianóglach" ("like the Fianna" (ancient legendary soldiers in Irish mythology)) on the the front of his hat as you can see.
The ARW trained with the British SAS in the 1980s. I remember seeing reports of this in the Irish press at the time. Relations between the two armies are very cordial.
That was given to me by a friend who is serving in the unit. I'm still awaiting for more from him. I'll post them once I get them.

The crack army force, the Ranger Wing, snatched a bronze medal in Bonn, Germany yesterday at the end of a four-day competition for special units from 41 countries around the world.
The competition is a test of skills of special police and military units throughout the world and involves physical, mental, marksmanship and tactical skills.
Their tasks included hostage dramas, obstacle crossing, and water disciplines on the river Rhine.
The Rangers ended up as the leading military team in the event. They recorded one 3rd, four 4ths and never achieved less than 12th in any of the tests.
Other competitors included the GEO from Spain, GSG9 from Germany, GOE Portugal, NOCS Italy (2nd), Royal Dutch Marines, and from South Africa, Sweden and the winning team Cobra from Austria.
The competition has been held every four years since the early 1980s.

Army Rangers rescue 35 civilians held by renegade forces
By Cormac OKeeffe
IRISH army special forces have secured the release of 35 civilians held captive by violent renegade forces in Liberia.The Defence Forces Army Ranger Wing overwhelmed the militia and released the hostages without any injuries being inflicted.
No shots were believed to have been discharged in the operation.
Many of the civilians were allegedly beaten and raped during their capture by the rebels and were assisted by Ranger medical staff after being freed on Tuesday.
Two senior members of the Government of Liberia (GOL) forces, including Commander Prince, were captured. GOL is aligned to the former president Charles Taylor, who is wanted for war crimes.
The Ranger wing would have received intelligence on these people. They were tipped off by civilians in the area what was happening and were dispatched, said a Defence Forces spokesman.
He said members of the 40-strong Ranger unit, based in the capital Monrovia, were carried by helicopter to Gbapa, 300 kilometres outside the city, close to the border with Guinea.
Local civilians reported that there were more than 30 people being held captive against their will by renegade GOL forces, in a 20-foot container near the town of Yekepa, said the spokesman.
The Rangers surprised them. There was overwhelming force on the Ranger side. They put themselves in such a position that they managed to apprehend two significant members of the GOL militia.
The spokesman said the Rangers were conscious of the presence of civilians and luckily no shots were fired.
The civilians were released and medical staff attached to the Ranger wing provided assistance to the people.
Many of the 35 persons released were brought to the local medical facility for treatment as a result of alleged beatings and rapes inflicted upon them while in custody, said the spokesman.
The militia, numbering between 12 and 15, including the two leaders, were brought to a local police station, secured by the Rangers.
The defence spokesman said while the Rangers had been deployed in similar operations, this was the first of its type.
This is the first time there was a significant capture of renegades. It appears these guys were involved in illegal activity; they had detained people, torturing them and that.
The Ranger unit is part of the Irish contingent to the United Nations Mission to Liberia (UNMIL), which is overseeing the disarmament of 40,000 rebel and government fighters in the west African state.
Defence Minister Michael Smith yesterday congratulated the Ranger unit.
I am delighted that the brave and decisive action by our troops in UNMIL has led to these people being rescued from a dangerous situation and an uncertain fate, he said.

- Morrisville, NC, United States
- My wife Emily and I currently live in Morrisville, NC with our son Evan. In July of 2010 my life changed dramatically when Emily and I adopted our beloved son. As a consequence of this life change I have not updated this blog for a long time. As Evan has grown, and new expenses have been introduced, I have decided to again accept commissions from those of you who would like to have original work done. You may request work by contacting me at email@example.com, and I am also beginning a new website to promote this service at artisservantportraitsandmore.blogspot.com - I currently charge $225 for 11x14 drawings and $175 for 8x10s. I sell prints of my work (either from this site or the new one) for $25 11x14 and $20 for 8x10. I hope that you will enjoy the works here displayed, that you will visit my new site, and that you will contact me with your comments at firstname.lastname@example.com - Dec 30 2011

This weekend was a great opportunity to showcase some of my newest work at the 7th annual Ignited by Truth Catholic Conference at the Raleigh Convention Center. My table did well, but my favorite part of the conference was the interaction I was able to enjoy with old and new friends, and it is always wonderful to get feedback from my "target market." A VERY big thank you to all those who have given so much support to my work! I hope you like the finished poster I put together for the conference from portraits I drew of the main speakers.

I appreciate your time and your interest in my work. If you are interested in knowing more about me and my philosophy of art, please feel free to scroll to the bottom of this page. I would rather spare those who have no interest in such things from having to read about me before looking at my work. God bless you :)
The Vocation of the Artist
I firmly believe that art is meant to serve others, especially in lifting the hearts of people, through "ephiphanies of beauty," (John Paul II's letter to artists) to the contemplation and the glory of God. The artist participates in a unique way in the inspiration of the Creator of all things, and knows something of His joy in the act of creation, for "the act of creation is an act of love."(The Agony and the Ecstacy) This act is essentially bound up with the mystery of the Incarnation of Jesus, in which what had been invisible was made visible in His person, His life and work, and finally in His death and resurrection. The artist is exhorted by the very perception of his gift to its service. Art is not merely, nor should it ever be, a vehicle for selfish ends or cheap shock and awe, but it must seek to give joy to the lives of others. The artist is then in the end merely a servant of truth, beauty, and goodness, and his work must serve to convey these to a wider audience. "Nor do men light a lamp and put it under a bushel, but on a stand, and it gives light to all in the house. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven." (Matthew 15-16)I believe that the artist finds in the lives of Jesus, and of His foster father Joseph, essential role models, especially in their hidden life at Nazareth. Though very little is handed down to us in the Gospels or in tradition illuminating this period in Jesus' life, I believe that this hidden, simple, carpenter's life of "working quietly" (2 Thessalonians 3:11) can be a model for all artists, in which delight is daily sought in the manifestation of beauty in wood, paint, charcoal, dance, the stage, and music. This is a life of humility, where the artist freely accepts that this world, including his own work, "will pass away," (Matt. 24:35) but what it points to never will. Obedience to inspiration, especially as it is inspired by God's Word (itself the revelatory self-expression of God) is the artist's highest calling. This new site is dedicated to this higher calling of the artist, to this challenge.
You will find included in this site examples of my own work, as well as links to other sites which
celebrate the arts, and especially challenge the artist to reach the fullness of his own abilities
in the service of something greater than him or his work. I hope that you will enjoy this site, and
take full advantage of its links, especially the Letter to Artists of our Holy Father (of beloved memory) John Paul II. Thank you for your comments and your consideration of this website.

Originally, the closure affected the area of the 34-mile marker. Police say there was flooding, debris and other road hazards on the Hamakua Coast.
Just after 10:15 a.m. on Monday, police say Highway 19 at the 25-mile marker in Laupahoehoe was also closed. One viewer captured this photo in that area.
Just before noon, police announced the highway was reopened.

I like this article on Life of Brian:
"When it comes to the religious jokes, it's interesting how many of them are pointed nowhere near anyone remotely divine, but at us – the believers. That stoning scene makes a well-earned mockery of religious legalism and sexism.
. . .
"It's hard to imagine the Lord losing too much sleep over people laying into the Church, when he seems to have made quite a career out of doing it himself. Christian censors, though, can easily overlook the difference between people laughing at the Almighty and laughing at them.
" . . . I think the ending goes further than I'm comfortable with. But I also think that this scene shouldn't blind Christians to the incisive critique of religious behaviour (and good jokes) that the rest of the movie is blessed with."

Hoop House Building
Summer 1996
Practical Farmers of Iowa members Steve and June Weis raise corn, soybeans, oats, and hay on 1,000 acres in northeast Iowa. The operation is a family farm corporation between Steve, his father, and two brothers.
Steve and June also maintain a 200- sow farrow-to-finish operation in which they finish in a variety of systems. Steve was awarded a SARE Producer Grant to document his first year producing hogs in hoophouses. Hoophouses are unheated, low-cost structures in which deeply-piled bedding stabilizes the manure produced and warms the pigs as it composts. The initial capital investment for a hoophouse system is roughly one-third that for a confinement unit. Because of the low initial cost, Steve feels that in the future his children will not be locked into this system the way they might be if he has committed to a more expensive technology.
Steve and June's kids did some documenting on their own. As the hoophouses were going up, they took photographs for the following album, which they turned into a 4-H project. Steve and June Weis may be contacted at 515-737-2566

Mt. Mercy President Laurie Hamen
When Laurie Hamen first stepped onto the Mt. Mercy University campus in February, she knew she had alot to build, and build upon. She says, " When I came on campus, I found real openness to growth. I saw opportunities that were there for growth and change."
Hamen took a rather unconventional route to the President's office. She was a Home Economics major, then got her Masters in Counseling. She would ultimately get a law degree at DePaul University when her youngest daughter went to college. She spent the last 18 years at North Central College in Naperville, Illinois.
As the first woman President at Mt. Mercy, she looks forward to the future, "I think we've done a good job at having different types of people in all positions. I'm proud of that and I'm just glad to represent Mt. Mercy in that way. If I'm one of a few, that's great."

My deepest apologies to any turnips who feel slighted by the previous post's title.
In so many, many way, turnips have far more to offer than John Kasich. For one, turnips are strikingly prettier than Kasich, as evidenced by the photo in my last post. For good measure, here is more documentary evidence of their comeliness:

I shall refrain from posting a photo of Kasich here because I like my blog to be visually pretty even when I write about doom and gloom. (Srsly. This has been Kittywampus policy from the get-go.) Besides, his mug was all over the banner ads on Alternet (!!) throughout the fall, and I'd be just as happy if I never saw it again.
Another way turnips are unlike Kasich: They have never once threatened to run their bus over anyone, having no bus at their command and also being rather timorous vegetables. Quoth Kasich:
"If you think you're going to stop us, you're crazy. You will not stop us. We will beat you … This is our chance. Please leave the cynicism and political maneuvering at the door … If you're not on the bus, we'll run over you with the bus. And I'm not kidding."
—John Kasich, Republican and governor-elect of Ohio, said at a luncheon for state lobbyists.
By comparison, turnips are more likely to roll with you. They'll never roll over you – nor roll you over. They are political naïfs: earnest and unassuming, with their feet planted firmly in the earth, their convictions deeply-rooted.
That hasn't stopped Margaret Atwood from proposing a turnip for Prime Minister of Canada. Atwood declared: "I'd vote for a turnip if it was accountable, transparent, a parliamentary democrat, and listened to people."
Sounds about right.

Retired tennis player and Austinite Andy Roddick is serving up some good fortune to local kids.
The Andy Roddick Foundation is currently planning to build a tennis center with eight courts and a learning center in East Austin. The foundation hosted a fundraising gala Friday night at the Moody Theatre to raise money for the center. Tickets ranged from one to three thousand dollars each.
Some of the money raised will also help six local nonprofits focused on children.
"I'm trying to pay forward all the lessons I've learned through sports and I feel like I can do that a lot better if I'm on site," Roddick said.
In addition to the dinner and silent auction, the gala featured Grammy-winning singer John Legend.
The now-retired tennis star played his last game earlier this month.
