Following a 10-5 season and an unfortunate first-time exit in the opening round of the NESCAC tournament, Wesleyan men's lacrosse had two players named second-team all-NESCAC - long-pole midfielder Gabe Kelley '11 (#9, main photo) and defender Mike Robinson '13 (#1, photo insert upper left).
A staple force for the Cardinals during his four years, Kelley played in 61 of a possible 65 games, missing four due to injury or illness. He collected 208 ground balls, 39 of those in 2011 as he led all field players in that department. Goaltender Grant Covington '12 paced the squad with 57 ground balls in 2011. Last year, Kelly was named honorable-mention All-America as a long-pole middie by the United States Intercollegiate Lacrosse Association (USILA) after helping Wesleyan to an 8-8 overall record and a spot in the NESCAC tournament semi-finals. Wesleyan lost to Tufts, 10-9, in that semi-final game and Tufts went on to win an NCAA Division III national title. Kelley was on the preseason All-America list for the 2011 season by Inside Lacrosse. In 2009, Kelley was a mainstay on Wesleyan's 15-4, NESCAC Tournament Championship squad, leading the team with 81 ground balls. Wesleyan qualified for its fourth-ever trip to the NCAA tournament that year, going 1-1 in the playoffs. Not averse to attacking the opposing team's goal, Kelley netted 11 goals and added three assists for 14 scoring points over his four years, including three goals and an assist in 2011. Over Kelley's four years, Wesleyan had a cumulative record of 43-22.
Robinson saw action in a majority of the Cardinals' games in 2010 as a long-pole middie and defender, picking up three ground balls. Working his way into the starting lineup from the onset of the 2011 season, Robinson was one of just three players on the 45-man roster to be listed as a starter in all 15 games this year. Known for his outstanding stick work, Robinson was the team leader in caused turnovers, constantly stripping opposing attackmen of the ball. While caused turnovers is not a mandatory statistic maintained in men's lacrosse, it was kept for seven of the Cardinals' 15 contests, and Robinson was credited with 19, more than any other two players on the team combined. He also had 17 ground balls during the year.
Other statistical standouts for Wesleyan in 2011 included Covington, who opened every game in the net and posted a goal-against average of 7.48, second in the conference, and a .556 save percentage. Teddy Citrin '12, who received Jewish Sports Review (JSR) Division II/III first-team All-America laurels, led the team in goals with 26 and tied for the team high in points with 32, matched by Max Landow '12, who had 17 goals and 15 assists. Landow was a JSR honorable-mention All-American. Third in scoring and tops in assists was DJ Bernatavitz '12, with 11 goals and 16 helpers.

Bank of America, Morgan Stanley: Financial Winners
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Bank of America (BAC) and Morgan Stanley (MS) were the winners among the largest U.S. financial names on Friday, with shares of both companies rising over 5%.
Bank of America's shares closed at $8.80, while Morgan Stanley closed at $17.08.
The broad indexes ended with slight gains, after the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics announced that 96,000 jobs were added to the U.S. work force in August, while the unemployment rate declined to 8.1% fro 8.3%, mainly because of a lower labor force participation rate.
The official employment numbers were a disappointment, after ADP reported on Thursday that nonfarm private employers added 201,000 full-time employees during August, increasing from an upwardly revised 173,000 in July.The KBW Bank Index (I:BKX) rose 2% to close at 49.27, with all but two of the 24 index components ending the week with gains. Bank of America's shares have now returned 59% year-to-date, following a 58% decline during 2011. The shares trade for 0.7 times their reported June 30 tangible book value of $13.22, and for ten times the consensus 2013 EPS estimate of 91 cents, among analysts polled by Thomson Reuters. The consensus 2012 EPS estimate is 55 cents. JPMorgan analyst Vivek Juneja on Thursday said that Bank of America and SunTrust (STI) should see a "sizeable earnings benefit" from rising home prices, since the companies have continued to see elevated expenses from nonperforming loans and repossessed real estate "at the high end at 138% and 95% of 2Q12 EPS, respectively," and that a "5-20% further reduction in residential mortgage related

The main purpose of having insurance is to protect you in the case of a serious illness or accident. When you purchase insurance, you agree to pay a certain amount on a monthly or quarterly basis, and the company agrees to pay for your expenses either partially or in full. The document that you sign is called a policy, and it typically states the covered expenses and exclusions (expenses not covered) under the terms of the contract.
Unlike some other countries, the United States does not have a universal health care system. A short stay in the hospital can result in thousands of dollars in medical expenses. A non-emergency visit to a regular physician today can easily cost $100, not including medication if needed. You should know that the U.S. government does not pay for health care costs for international students. In fact, if you are an F-1 student, you are required to have enough funds to cover such expenses (the average amount of the policies listed below is included in the Estimated Annual Costs on your I-20). You are therefore required to buy medical insurance to avoid serious financial hardship that could ruin your educational plans.
Montgomery College has such a wide variety of international students that we do not have a standard insurance policy connected to the College. You need to choose an insurance policy for yourself. You may choose any company, in the United States or in your home country, that will give you the coverage YOU need. Students may be able to take advantage of the new Affordable Care Act Marketplaces, although that type of coverage is designed to be different than what is described below as most needed by International Students.

LTC nurse:patient ratios
- 4Jun 5, '13 by ringaringI have not found any state (OR) requirements for nurseatient ratios in LTC facilities. By 'nurse' I am referring to RNs and LPNs. From what I have read, it seems one nurse for up to 30 patients is generally accepted by the industry. Acuity is not taken into account - it's simply a numbers game for the accountants. I work in a facility that accepts such an unreasonable and unsafe workload which in turn prohibits patient from receiving the competent and thorough care they are entitled to and paying for. What to do . . .?
I could report this to some agency however, this corporation and most like it have been dancing around the regulations for years and can far outwit any inspectors.
I have addressed the issue with administration only to be told the facility is 'in compliance with nursingatient ratios', and, we are 'not budgeted for more staff'.
I can bring the problem to a forum such as this and ask for input - which is why I'm here.
Any suggestions to facilitate changes in LTC nursing policy are welcome.
. . . and please, no 'suck it up and deal with it' attitudes! That kind of tolerance to an abusive industry is unacceptable and shameful in professional nursing.
- 4Jun 5, '13 by HippyDippyLPNHonestly? There is nothing you can do, many good nurses before have fought that battle before and lost. The thing is, depending on your state, they most likely are in compliance with ratios. But I might venture a guess that these ratios were created before LTC became what it is now, a place with g tube, IV drips, wound vacs, drains, etc.
It just is what it is and unless LTC nurses as a whole start picketing, creating unions or some other extreme nothing is going to change it. My fear is it will only get worse with the aging population who needs a facility increasing.
1:30 is what I had on a good day and that was taking no breaks and staying over 2 hours unpaid to finish charting. You get good experience though and learn to prioritize and multi task safely very well. I know you don't want to hear " suck it up" but unless you can change an entire industry, you kinda have to : /
- 3Jun 5, '13 by Esme12, BSN, RN Senior ModeratorYOU will have a long fight....and it is because there is not always family to fight for this group of patients. A Google search on State LTC staffing found this...Critical Issues in Long Term CareA national organization, the National Citizens Coalition for Nursing Home Reform (NCCNHR), has identified staffing one of the most critical issues facing the Long-Term Care System. It has called for federal laws to mandate specific staffing ratios in nursing homes. Their recommendations are a ratio of 1:5 during the day shift, 1:8 during the afternoon shift, and 1:15 at night.This issue is sure to cause debate. The industry feels this will be too expensive to implement and will drive the cost of long-term care higher.To take actionTo learn more about the issue of staffing, contact NCCNHR at 202-332-2275 and visit their website at: The National Consumer Voice for Quality Long-Term CareTo help support legislation in Washington State that may be proposed in the future contact: Louise Ryan, Washington State Long-Term Care (LTC) Ombudsman at firstname.lastname@example.com or by phone at: 253-838-6810.Review and Respond to Louise Ryan's Long-Term Care Legislative Issues
- 5Jun 5, '13 by HippyDippyLPNAh how I would have loved a 1:5 ratio! Heck with 1:5 I could do all their ADL's and my nursing duties. Heck I would have settled for 1:15.
- 0Jun 5, '13 by herring_RN GuideThe acuity of many patients in nursing homes is the same as hospitalized medical-surgical patients.
I think 1:4 or 1:5 with sufficient certified nursing assistants would be appropriate.
I know nurses working at a hospital based SNF who achieved staffing on 1 RN, 1 LVN, and 1 CNA for every 10 patients if the patient has any IV medications, a trach, or tube feedings.
For other patients it is 20 patients for 1 RN, 1 Lvn, and 3 CNAs.
They know how fortunate they and their patients are. They could lose it if their manager leaves.
- 2Jun 5, '13 by nurse_girl_LPNI have been concerned with this as well, in regards to nurse patient ratios. I have worked in the medical field for 10 years, but only as a nurse for 1 year. I currently work in a skilled rehab facility with a high acuity. We take patient's from hospitals typically 2-3 day post-op. On a typical day I will have 1-3 admits, 1-2 discharges, on top of all my other nursing responsibilities. Most days I feel very overwhelmed. We conduct a full head-to-toe assessment on each patient in narrative charting. My patient ratio is 1:17. I feel it's too much. My DON is sympathetic to a point but her hands are tied as management says "we don't have the budget for another nurse". It's tough.Last edit by NRSKarenRN on Jul 12, '13
- 2Jun 5, '13 by milkersI am an LPN in LTC with a day shift pt ratio of 1nurse to 38 residents. It is the most BS thing I have ever seen. I've worked in LTC for a while and usual the nurse to pt ratio is about 1:20 which is still keeping you on your toes. 1:38 is impossible on days and PM's. I'm sure many treatments and assessments are being charted though not necessarily done.
- 2Jun 5, '13 by trinitymaster2Quote from nurse_girl_LPNPick up a sign and walk the line. That is what hospital nurses had to do 30+ years ago. Do not fall into the trap of feeling obligated to take care of your patients. All you have to do is give your organization 30 days notice that you (ALL of the STAFF) are going to picket.I have been concerned with this as well, in regards to nurseatient ratios. I have worked in the medical field for 10 years, but only as a nurse for 1 year. I currently work in a skilled rehab facility with a high acuity. We take patient's from hospitals typically 2-3 day post-op. On a typical day I will have 1-3 admits, 1-2 discharges, on top of all my other nursing responsibilities. Most days I feel very overwhelmed. We conduct a full head-to-toe assessment on each patient in narrative charting. My patient ratio is 1:17. I feel it's too much. My DON is sympathetic to a point but her hands are tied as management says "we don't have the budget for another nurse". It's tough.
Of course, that would take courage which most of us (myself included) would never have without union representation.
- 4Jun 5, '13 by TheCommuter, ASN, RN Senior ModeratorAs long as Medicaid is the main payor source for residents in LTC facilities and nursing homes, the extremely high nurse/patient ratios will persist well into the future.
In most states Medicaid only reimburses LTC facilities at the paltry rate of $100 per day per resident. With pitifully low reimbursement rates like that, the nurse/patient ratios are not decreasing to safe levels anytime soon.
Money talks and bullcrap walks, and until more money is infused into the Medicaid system to provide for the care of elders, expect to continue caring for plenty of residents.
- 2Jun 5, '13 by nurse_girl_LPNVery good point, TheCommuter, and that validates my concerns. I worked for one month at an LTC where I had 38 patients!! I couldn't believe it. I left after 30 days. I didn't care what they were paying me, that was AWFUL working conditions.

My First OfficePrice: $6,643.00
Design by Marti Guixe, 2012.
By Magis.
My First Office allows children to customize their own learning environment. This work space and storage unit is created from birch plywood and features an entrance, open shelving and a height adjustable desk that can be reached from both sides. Fill the shelves with favorite gadgets, books, games and toys for easy access during playtime and a convenient display space at the end of the day.
Inspired by his granddaughter's propensity for drawing and a lack of appropriate children's desks, Eugenio Perazza conceived the Me Too Collection. Instead of scaling down adult-sized furniture to smaller proportions, he went in search of a design team in and outside of Magis that could think from the perspective of a kid. The resulting Me Too Collection speaks to a child's voice demanding something of their own. Designed for children between two and six years old, the Me Too Collection offers objects that correspond to their own world, not only in dimensions but in values as well.

Material(s): Birch plywood
Dimensions: 70.9"W X 55.1"D X 47.2"H
Designer: Marti Guixe
Martí Guixé studied in Barcelona and Milan as an interior and industrial designer. In 1994, while periodically working as a design advisor in Seoul and living in Berlin, he formulated a new way to understand the culture of products. Guixé started to exhibit his work in 1997. His non-conventional gaze provides brilliant and simple ideas of a curious seriousness.
Martí Guixé is based in Barcelona and Berlin and has worked for companies such as Authentics, B-sign, Camper, Cha-cha, Chupa-Chups, Desigual, Droog Design, Essencial mediterraneo, Imaginarium, Isee2, Magis, nanimarquina, Saporiti and Very Lustre. Recent publications include: Martí Guixé 1:1, and Martí Guixé Cookbook.

Manufacturer: Magis
Founded in 1976, Italian designer Eugenio Perazza began the first steps towards building an international design laboratory. In Latin, Magis means "more than" and that is exactly what Magis delivers while focusing on using less materials and energy. Always perched on the cutting edge, Perazza was named as "one of ten who will change the way we live."
In 1984, Magis experienced enormous success with their product Step. This ladder was snubbed upon initial release because it was not an item considered "worthy" of the furniture store circuit. However, the product met with tremendous success, especially in furniture stores, and Magis' fire was lit.
In 2004, Magis introduced their venture into the realm of children. Inspired by his granddaughter's propensity for drawing and a lack of appropriate children's desks, Eugenio Perazza conceived the Me Too Collection. He began by searching out designers who could think like a child and all the products in the collection earned Perazza's granddaugter's approval before going into production. The Me Too Collection features bright and innovative pieces that stimulate and engage children's perceptions. Me Too is about: "I'm here too and I deserve my place in the world."
By embracing the creativity of leading global designers and incorporating leading technology into the mass production of unique objects and furniture, Magis has garnered many awards and their Bottle project has earned a place in the permanent collections of many contemporary art museums.View other products from Magis

My initial reaction when the Blue Jays re-hired John Gibbons as manager this week was, why? Not that he was a good manager or a bad manager, just, why? When we opened the phones throughout the day on TSN Radio 1050, the response was almost totally negative. T.J. Lang Jersey . Most listeners used the "been there, done that" logic. After a couple of days of letting it all sink in, Ive moved to the "Why Not?" camp. Gibbons has an infectious likable personality. He also managed a Blue Jays team that had decidely less talent to a .500 record, at 305-305 over the three full years and parts of two others that he guided the Jays from 2004 to 2008. The one year the Jays did load up, 2006, when they brought in A.J. Burnett and B.J. Ryan, Gibbons got them to second place with 87 victories. Yes, he did have run-ins or dust-ups as he put it on a few occasions, but the two main ones which occurred that year, with Shea Hillenbrand and Ted Lilly actually seemed to spark the team. In both cases, though Gibbons may have gone slightly over the edge, he stood up for himself and the organization and made it clear in no uncertain terms who was running the team, and his way was the Blue Jays way. Two things really sold me on Gibbons. One was the way that GM Alex Anthopoulos spoke so passionately about the hiring, saying he had more conviction about this move than any other he had made as general manager. The second was hearing John McDonald on the Bryan Hayes show this week on TSN Radio 1050, saying how badly the players felt when "Gibby" was fired, how honest and straight forward he was and how he ran the clubhouse. Anthopoulos also lauded Gibbons for his handling of the bullpen, which many would argue is a managers most important task. Clearly, if Bobby Cox had been willing to come out of retirement, he was the Blue Jays first choice. Bobby guiding the Blue Jays to their first division title back in 1985 before heading back to Atlanta at the conclusion of that season to become the Braves GM and ultimately their manager for a second time. There are certainly things about Cox that you can see in Gibbons. Namely, his passion, his fire and his pure love of the game. There are only a handful of players still in Toronto who actually played for "Gibby" the first time around. Casey Janssen debuted with the Jays in 2006. Adam Lind and Dustin McGowan are still under contract. Pete Walker, who pitched for the Jays in 2006, was the bullpen coach in 2012 and Gregg Zaun works in the television side of things now. Knowing Toronto, being friends with Anthopoulos should allow Gibbons to hit the ground running with a team that is now expected to be an instant contender. After some initial trepidation, Ive got a feeling this just might work. I dont know if Evan Grant of the Dallas Morning News knows something we dont know or if it is just wishful thinking. He is still predicting Ricky Romero and J.P Arencibia will be in Texas by the time the season starts. He also believes the Rangers can land Zach Greinke and Nick Swisher. Not too many managers get a second chance at running a club. The only ones I can remember over the last 40 or 50 years to have multiple stints with the same club are Billy Martin (five times with the Yankees), Danny Murtaugh (four times with Pittsburgh), Bobby Cox (two times with Atlanta), Cito Gaston (twice with the Blue Jays) and now John Gibbons. Of those other three, Cox and Murtaugh both won World Series at some point after their return to their old clubs. Greg Jennings Womens Jersey . Louis Blues have signed unrestricted free agent forward Jamie Langenbrunner to a one-year contract. Clay Matthews Womens Jersey . Riesch finished second, 0.2 seconds behind Anja Paerson. The Swede won the combined downhill and slalom in 2:30.60. Vonn was third, another 0.06 back. Vonn needed to win to capture the super-combi title. http://www.nflnikegreenbaypackers.com/james-jones-jersey . The league said in a statement the Spitfires admit violating the leagues recruitment policy and as a result of their co-operation in this matter commissioner David Branch was reducing the penalties against the club. Morgan Burnett Jersey . —The Washington Capitals are preparing yet again to go with an inexperienced goalie in the playoffs. Tramon Williams Jersey . —Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Blaine Gabbert practiced in full for the third consecutive day Friday and will start at Indianapolis.While humming the theme to WKRP in Cincinnati to myself the other day I asked myself, "Why are the Reds in first place in their division, while the Toronto Blue Jays are in last in the AL East?" A year ago entering play on Aug. 10, the Reds had a 56-61 record and a plus-32 run differential. The Jays at the same point were 59-57 with a plus-13 differential. Entering the weekend, Cincinnati is 66-46, even with a five-game losing streak with a plus-64 run differential and a 2 1/2 game lead over Pittsburgh in the National League Central. The Jays are 53-58 with a minus-1 differential. Both teams have key players out with injuries. Joey Votto is probably a week to 10 days away as he battles back from knee surgery. Scott Rolen is in and out of the Cincy lineup with back issues. The Jays have been hit much harder with a Major League leading 13 players on the disabled list including Morrow, Bautista and Lawrie. Yet in terms of talent and payroll, there isnt much to choose between these two clubs. Cincinnati is paying out roughly $76.3 million this season. The Jays right behind them at just over $75 million. The Reds dont play in a division as difficult as the American League East, especially when they have the chance to beat up on also-rans like the Cubs and Astros. The National League minus the DH isnt as tough on pitchers either. If you look at the teams stats side by side, there is one clear difference. Cincinnatis starting rotation of Johnny Cueto, Mat Latos, Homer Bailey, Bronson Arroyo and Mike Leake hasnt missed a single start due to injury. Not one! That quintette has a combined record off 45-30 with 67 quality starts. Randall Cobb Youth Jersey. The Jays starters on the other hand – all 11 that have been used are (42-43) with just 53 quality starts. Not trying to beat a dead horse, but if the Jays are going to be better next season, they must upgrade the starting rotation either through trade or free agency. NL MVP? If Joey Votto doesnt have any further injury setbacks, hes right there in the running for National League MVP along with the Pirates Andrew McCutcheon. But another player to watch down the stretch is Giants catcher Buster Posey. Hes batting .329 with 18 homers and 73 RBIs – a remarkable comeback for someone who missed 75 percent of last season with a broken leg. The Cubs Alfonso Soriano has never really been the player most though he could be. Still, its worth noting that along with Andre Dawson, hes the only player in the teams storied history to hit at least 20 homers in each of his first six seasons with the club and along with Albert Pujols and David Ortiz, the only other active player to slug at least 20 dingers 11 years running. EAST WATCH A gutsy decision by the Orioles to bring up rookie Manny Machado to start at third in the heat of a Wild card race. Ill bet there are a lot of teams hoping Tampa Bay doesnt make the postseason. Evan Longoria is back and their pitching rotation has a 2.27 ERA since the All-Star break! The Blue Jays have a very difficult home stand coming up – 10 games against the Yankees, White Sox and Rangers. Theyve dropped 15 of the last 19. If theyre lucky, they could have Morrow, Lawrie and maybe Bautista back by next weekend against Texas. ' ' '

Commission receives application to add 18 townhouses to project
WATERBURY — A developer proposing an 18-unit residential complex in the East End passed another hurdle Wednesday, submitting a revised site plan and application package to the City Plan Commission in a last-minute attempt to meet the city's zoning requirements.
Donmar Development, a North Haven firm that has built projects across the state, attended last week's City Plan Commission meeting to pitch its case for a special exception that would allow it build 18 townhouse-style homes at 357 Hitchcock Road.

Thanks for your message. I leave it to my daughters to put up the Christmas tree and lights. Have a great day! tramguy
Happy Thanksgiving. Hope you have a great holiday on Thursday. Best regards, tramguy
Yes, send them a member message, that is what Steelpenny did, but make sure you selected Category: Points/Consecutive day issues! Since you just recently sent the message a few days ago, they probably just haven't gotten around to it yet! All I can say is, be patient! Ron
I have a friend, Steelpenny, who lost his 2,000+ consecutive days, that he felt it was no fault of his own! I suggested that he write the mods, he did and the mods restored all of his consecutive days, and he had waited more than 90 days to write the mods. If you did write the mods, and you explained to them what happened, it wasn't your fault, and they haven't restored you consecutive days, or you haven't heard back from them, they must be awfully busy! I recently sent a message to the mods, they didn't answer it right away, more than a week went by, I sent another message and in a few days they returned with their message back to me. They say that they will restore consecutive days if it isn't the fault of the GB, and do it up to twice in a years time. Have a nice week! Ron
A BIG CONGRATS on reaching the 3.75M milestone, sorry, no new car! Still truly magnificent! Keep leading the way for others to follow here in GasBuddyland! Others ahead of you have retired, so there is lots of room at the 4M milestone and you are getting closer, and it looks like the top GBs are going for that 5M milestone and beyond before they retire, and you know they have been here almost from the start 13 years ago! Keep going, don't stop now! It's nice seeing you come back each day as I track your progress to that 4M milestone! Thanks buddy for your 10+ years of dedication here on GasBuddy! Have a nice weekend! Ron
TY! Have a great day and week ahead my friend.
No problem! Have a great weekend!
Happy 4th of July. Best regards, tramguy
Thanks for the Independence Day greeting! Belated Canada Day to you!
I hope so, they were the laugh at team the last couple of years. Happy 4th but be watchful and keep safe.

Delivering a faster cut and a quality crop, these smart, simple, cost-efficient mowers attach directly to your high horsepower tractor and can be attached or removed when needed – allowing you to maximize the use of your tractor, year-round.
DM1340 Front Mower
Featuring trailing link suspension, this unit has the cutterbar mounted at the outermost point on the sturdy support frame to prevent twisting, while providing optimum adaptation to ground contour and excellent forward visibility from the cab.
DM1398 Rear Mower
This mower features TurboLift hydraulic flotation, an advanced system that adapts extremely well to ground contours, for optimum flotation at high field speeds.

While most front mounted and rear mounted mowers feature a stamped steel spur gear cutterbar, which can twist or fail at high mowing speeds, the DM Series features an individual gearbox design to handle extreme working conditions. Each individual disc module is powered by a shaft running behind the cutterbar. This creates a lower cutterbar profile while reducing backlash as each module doesn't have to power the one next to it. The main drive shaft also features a weakened shear point to protect the cutterbar if you happen to hit a rock or foreign object in the field. Each module is filled with lifetime oil for low maintenance.

The coil tines gently condition the crop as it passes through the conditioner, leaving the crop loose and well aerated to discharge moisture quickly for fast drying time. For more aggressive conditioning in grass crops, the adjustable comb may be moved in between the tines to strip the waxy coating off of the plant stems.

Since the mower is suspended at the outermost parts by an overhead frame it can be pulled through the field rather than pushed. This provides a higher degree of suspension travel while allowing the mower to retract backwards and clear small mounds or ruts in the field without gouging the ground.

Vols feed the hungry
Thousands of pounds of surplus food from Tennessee home football games have gone to charity.
Tennessee announced Thursday through a university release that 3,710 pounds of unused food from Neyland Stadium was donated to Second Harvest Food Bank during the 2013 football season.
Surplus food from Neyland Stadium concessions started going to charity at the beginning of the 2012 season. This season's Nov. 23 home finale against Vanderbilt marked the first time that unused food from the Neyland Stadium skyboxes also was donated. UT Recycling, in partnership with the UT Food Recovery Network and ARAMARK, donated 606 pounds of unused food from the skyboxes to Second Harvest after the Vanderbilt game.
The possibility of donating unused food from other catered events around campus is under discussion.

Week 1: June 16 through June 20, 2014
Preparing Students for Advanced Placement® Calculus AB
AP 506.100 Jim Bohan
This course will focus in detail on the philosophy, content, and pedagogies related to creating and implementing a successful course in AP Calculus AB. The sessions will engage students in the four main areas of AP Calculus AB: functions, limits and graphs; derivatives; and integrals. The approach will be one of using actual AP Calculus AB problems to guide the discussion of content and pedagogy. In addition, the course will provide opportunities for discussion about topics such as course goals, objectives, content, resources, bibliographies, and equipment; AP exam development and grading process; syllabi, lesson plans, and assignments; how to refresh and improve existing AP courses; recent changes in AP course descriptions; strategies for teaching students at beginning or intermediate levels; vertical teaming; and use of technology in AP Calculus AB. Participants will be expected to collaborate and participate fully in the proceedings of the course and will be encouraged to create a network of support.
Preparing Students for Advanced Placement® Chemistry
AP 512.100 John Hnatow, Jr.
This course is designed both for teachers who are new to AP Chemistry and also for experienced AP Chemistry teachers who have not previously participated in a 2013 4- or 5-day summer APSI. The course will provide information about the new course requirements. The focus of the course will be on areas essential to the teaching of the newly-revised AP Chemistry course. Participants will be able to apply concrete strategies for designing and implementing an effective AP Chemistry curriculum, perform hands-on, guided inquiry-based labs, contrast the new AP Chemistry exam design with the former exam, implement strategies to effectively prepare students for the AP exam, and begin to develop or revise a syllabus to align with course requirements. Participants will be engaged in learning about the new AP Chemistry curriculum framework, the big ideas and enduring understandings, learning objectives, and the science practices. Participants will be expected to read the new AP Chemistry Curriculum Framework before the workshop begins and share a "best practice" lesson and a website resource during the week. This course ultimately is intended to inspire teachers to motivate their students to achieve at the highest possible levels. There will be one to two hours of homework daily.
Preparing Students for Advanced Placement® Computer Science A
AP 518.100 Reg Hahne
This course will provide an overview of the content and structure of the AP Computer Science A curricula. Teachers will focus on object-oriented programming methodology, with emphasis on problem solving and algorithm development. Participants will explore how the development and analysis of standard algorithms and the use of fundamental data structures within the AP Computer Science framework can support their classroom instruction in preparing their students for the AP Computer Science exam. Focus also will be placed on both multiple-choice and free-response aspects of the exam. In particular, an introduction to the new case studies (Magpie, PictureLab and Elevens), related to concepts that will be tested on the 2015 exam, will be shared. It is advisable that participants be familiar with Java.
Preparing Students for Advanced Placement® Economics
AP 548.100 Bruce Damasio
This course is designed as an institute for current high school teachers of AP Economics, regardless of experience level: new to AP or an experienced teacher. The course will include an overview of content, course organization, selection and use of materials, test development, and a strong emphasis on methodology and teaching strategies. It will not be a week focused solely on content; time is not available to target one area versus another. Participants will focus on ways to connect content to assessments and active learning. Participants will develop lessons and materials with content specific to the AP Microeconomics and AP Macroeconomics courses. Participants are encouraged to bring class outlines, textbooks, course syllabi, and sample lessons to share and modify. Participants will be expected to collaborate and help each other learn, listen, share and succeed. In addition, participants will discuss the agenda and expectations of the College Board-topics from equity to expectations for the teacher and students.
Preparing Students for Advanced Placement® Government and Politics: United States
AP 536.100 Maria Schmidt
This course provides teachers with an overview of the basic structure and content necessary for an AP course in Government and Politics: United States. The instructor will focus on the development of the content for each of the six units included in the course as well as the development of essential questions, course objectives, learning activities, teaching strategies, and the use of multiple resources. Emphasis will be placed on preparing students for the AP examination. An analysis of past AP examinations will be included as well as a review of the standards established for the grading of the annual exams. A major portion of the course is devoted to the development of units for an AP U.S. Government and Politics course by participants, including the resources necessary for the implementation of such a course. This course is suitable for teachers new to AP U. S. Government and Politics as well as those experienced in the teaching of the course. The course will include a "best practices" sharing session and participants are encouraged to bring a copy of a favorite lesson/activity they have used in, or that could be adapted to, an AP U.S. Government and Politics course. If participants already are teaching the course, or know the textbook and/or any other books they will be using, they should bring these as well.
Preparing Students for Advanced Placement® Music Theory
AP 551.100 Robert McMahan
This course is designed for new and experienced AP Music Theory teachers. The course will provide a review of the issues of musicianship, theory, musical materials, and procedures. Participants will gain familiarity with creative teaching activities/strategies and will devise their own activities and materials for use in their classroom. With collaborative input from the instructor and others in the class, participants will develop a detailed syllabus for the course and will explore assessment tools and techniques to prepare students for the AP Music Theory exam. Participants should emerge from this course with a clear understanding of the objectives and performance each of their students should attain in the high school AP Music Theory course.
Preparing Students for Advanced Placement® Physics 1 and 2: Algebra-Based
AP 589.100 Patricia Zober
The changes from AP B Physics to AP Physics 1 and AP Physics 2 will be challenging and will require a more conceptual understanding of the basic laws of Physics. During this course, participants will explore how the revised AP Big Ideas, Essential Knowledge, and Science Practices tie into the Learning Objectives that a student must master to demonstrate their understanding of these basic concepts. In addition to a mathematical understanding, students of Physics 1 must be able to articulate, in correct scientific terms, these concepts. An emphasis will be placed on developing materials/labs and best practices that participants can use in their classrooms to help their students successfully complete the AP Physics 1 and 2 courses.
Preparing Students for Advanced Placement® United States History: Revised
AP 590.100 Geri Hastings
This course will provide participants with an overview of the redesigned AP U.S. History course and exam and give them the opportunity to analyze and integrate the course's three major component parts-the Thematic Learning Objectives, the Concept Outline, and the Historical Thinking Skills-into their syllabi. After examining the Curriculum Framework and identifying the characteristics of, and reasons for, these three component parts, participants will begin to plan student-centered lessons for some of the 27 key concepts in the Concept Outline. As they design their lessons, participants will determine the connections between the Learning Objectives, Concept Outline, and Historical Thinking Skills-connections that are assessed on every question of the new exam. Woven throughout the course will be opportunities for participants to create and take part in high-interest, student-centered lessons that were developed to support the new course and engage students. In addition, participants will have the opportunity to examine the questions on the redesigned exam, describe the similarities and differences between the exam questions on the 2014 test and the exam questions on the redesigned test, and actually provide answers for some of the multiple choice, short answer, long essay, and document-based questions. New scoring tools will be used to evaluate student responses from the pilot testing to give teachers a better understanding of what students must know and be able to do to be successful in this course. Participants also will discuss audit guidelines, practice writing questions based on redesigned testing models, and evaluate available AP U.S. History resources. This course has been designed to provide both a seamless transition for experienced teachers and an in-depth introduction to AP U.S. History for new teachers.

The 10 Weirdest Side Effects of Sleep Deprivation
See the surprising symptoms you may experience if you skimp on zzz's
By Jane Bianchi
5. Higher Stress Levels
Getting fewer than six hours of sleep per night disrupts the genes that regulate stress, according to a February 2013 study from the University of Surrey in Guildford, England. And that means you're likely to feel more anxious. Try de-stressing before bed each night so you can fall asleep faster. First, do five minutes of meditation by breathing deeply in a seated position with your eyes closed. Then, do five minutes of your favorite relaxing stretches or yoga moves, such as child's pose, legs up the wall or happy baby.

Savage Aural Hotbed to Perform
Feb. 1 at UW-Eau Claire
MAILED: Jan. 18, 2002
EAU CLAIRE — Minneapolis industrial band Savage Aural Hotbed will perform on Feb. 1 at the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire
Doors will open at 8 p.m. for the show in the Council Fire Room of Davies Center. Skywind, an atmospheric rock/metal band also from the Twin Cities, will appear as special guest.
Savage Aural Hotbed's precise, percussive music is inspired by Japanese taiko drumming and the literally cutting-edge innovation of industrial sound. The band creates its compelling sound using conventional and found-object percussion instruments, bass guitar, electronically modified horns and vocals, and power tools. With up to four people drumming, they provide visual and aural excitement with their high-energy rhythms, flailing arms and flying sparks.
National Public Radio's Scott Simon described Savage Aural Hotbed's music as "the sound of steel and rust, oil drums and hubcaps, screeches, sparks, grinders and gears finding new fury... It's also fun. It makes you smile to see a man make music with an electric saw."
Tickets are $7 ($5 for UW-Eau Claire students) at the University Service Center, (715) 836-3727, and will be sold at the door. The show is open to all ages; proof of age is required in the bar area.
Patrons may charge their tickets to MasterCard or Visa when they order by phone. Call the University Service Center, (715) 836-3727 - or, outside the immediate Eau Claire area, call toll-free (800) 949-UWEC. A $3 handling fee will be added to all telephone charge orders.
The concert is sponsored by the University Activities Commission of the UW-Eau Claire Student Senate.

MOBILE, Ala. (WALA) – Mardi Gras is a fun time of year. There are parades, beads, moonpies and balls. A lot of the activities are great for children.
Fox10 News spoke with a local carnival expert to get the low-down on doing Mardi Gras kid-style!
Judi Gulledge, the executive director of the Mobile Carnival Association, says Mardi Gras has been a tradition in her family for years. She says the best thing parents can do is focus on the magic of it all.
"A parade actually tells a story and i think all children actually love story books" says Gulledge. "So, telling them about the theme of the parade before you get to the parade and then bringing that to light. It's also very entertaining while they are waiting for the parade to start to rehash that and to talk about that."
There are some things parents could do to make sure the experience goes smoothly and it starts with parking. It is always best to park as close as possible. Our little ones can get pretty tired walking blocks and blocks. Gulledge recommends parking in well-let, family friendly areas like the garage next to Riverview Plaza or the Mobile Civic Center lot.
It's also important to make sure children know the rules of Mardi Gras especially stay behind the barricades. If you go to one spot for all the parades, it's a good idea to know the police officer at your location. Gulledge says often times the same officer is at the same location for the whole Mardi Gras season. It's fun to get to know the officers and, if they know your kids that could really help if there is a problem.

Dramatic Effects Seen in Brains of Students Who Are Casual Marijuana UsersMedical News TodayApril 17, 2014
Young adults who used marijuana only recreationally showed significant abnormalities in two key brain regions that are important in emotion and motivation, scientists report. This is the first study to show casual use of marijuana is related to major brain changes. It showed the degree of brain abnormalities in these regions is directly related to the number of joints a person smoked per week. The more joints a person smoked, the more abnormal the shape, volume and density of the brain regions.

Hey, Here's an Ad with a Ton of Copy!
It's rare we see print ads in the 21st century with a ton of copy. In fact, the last ad in recent memory that had this much copy (Taco Bell rants notwithstanding) wasn't an "ad" in the truest sense. Instead, it was that newspaper plea to the ad industry from Droga5 we saw in December.
That's why it was so wonderfully refreshing to see the above ad for Hush Puppies Oxford shirts that a tipster brought to our attention. Created by Planet Ads & Design out of Singapore (where the ad ran), this Hush Puppies print ad rewards readers with an interesting a funny narrative about an salesman who takes his Oxford shirt from the office to a night on the town. "Ode to an Oxford Shirt" brings us back to a time where print copy meant much more than a secondary tagline. It kind of makes you remember the versatility of an Oxford shirt, doesn't it? Credits and another ad follow after the jump.

I received an email from Jim Wallis today. You can read it here.
It had a link to a page: A Christian Creed on Health Care Reform.
This is odd language. I searched for "creed" in the on-line dictionary that is attached to the Google Toolbar. You can read the definitions here:
- any system, doctrine, or formula of religious belief, as of a denomination.
- any system or codification of belief or of opinion.
- an authoritative, formulated statement of the chief articles of Christian belief, as the Apostles' Creed, the Nicene Creed, or the Athanasian Creed.
This seems clear. A Christian creed is a formal statement of faith drawn up by a representative ecclesiastical body. It is not a political position paper drawn up over a weekend.
Your introduction to your "creed" proclaims this:
In the face of negative ads, partisan rhetoric, and a news cycle filled with fear and half-truths about health-care reform, Christians must affirm that we believe in: quality, affordable access to life-giving services for all people.
Christians believe in personal responsibility before God. This has to do with the doctrine of final judgment: heaven and hell.
Jesus healed a few people. He did not heal everyone. To heal even a few people for free led to huge crowds lining up to get free health care from Jesus. So many came that Jesus withdrew to the wilderness to pray (Luke 5:15). He could not heal the entire nation, let alone the whole world. Your slogan does not limit concern to one nation. It is universal: "all people."
Christians affirm that the world is under a curse (Genesis 3:17—19). This curse involves death. It also involves thorns and thistles. It affirms, loud and clear, "There ain't no such thing as a free lunch." The economist says, "At zero price, there is greater demand than supply."
It was Satan, not Jesus, who suggested turning stones into bread (Matthew 4:3).
Nothing can heal everyone except God. The State is not God.
Sign "A Christian Creed on Health-Care Reform" and a copy of it will be sent to your members of Congress. In addition, after you sign you will be given a link to Sojourners' free discussion guide about health-care reform, to help guide discussions in your congregation or small group.
Your health care creed is more in the nature of a political party's platform. Let me explain. My comments are in bold.
I believe God created each person in the divine image to be spiritually and physically healthy. I feel the pain of sickness and disease in our broken world (Genesis 1:27, Romans 8:22).
This slogan sounds strangely familiar. "I feel your pain." Anyway, disease is part of God's curse. We are to pay out of our own pockets to roll it back, along with all other curses imposed by God because of sin. But there is nothing in the Bible that suggests that the State is to take money at gunpoint from one voting bloc to heal people in other voting blocs.
