Nine UW-Eau Claire graduates to receive Alumni Association awardsDecember 13, 2013
EAU CLAIRE — Nine graduates of the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire will receive awards from the UW-Eau Claire Alumni Association Dec. 21 at a luncheon and ceremony in conjunction with winter commencement.
Lifetime Excellence Award
|Dr. Robert Sindelar
Dr. Robert Sindelar, a 1978 physics and mathematics graduate of UW-Eau Claire, will receive the Lifetime Excellence Award. The award is presented to alumni who have demonstrated longtime and successful commitment to their careers and communities. Recipients have made positive and dramatic impact through dedication to service and have lived their lives as a testimony to UW-Eau Claire's motto, "Excellence."
Sindelar is a senior advisory engineer in the Science and Technology Directorate at the Savannah River National Laboratory, a U.S. Department of Energy applied research and development national laboratory. Sindelar has 28 years of research and development experience in nuclear science. He is internationally recognized for his work in nuclear fuel management and water decontamination.
Earlier this year, Sindelar spent three months in Japan as an Embassy Science Fellow, where he assisted the Japanese government with decontamination efforts in the Fukushima region, where a major earthquake and subsequent tsunami severely damaged a nuclear power plant in 2011.
Sindelar has been a consultant and lecturer for the International Atomic Energy Agency and NATO, where he led workshops on spent fuel management practices. After graduating from UW-Eau Claire, Sindelar received a master's degree and doctorate in nuclear engineering from UW-Madison.
President's Award
Rakesh Sreenivasam and Dr. Tim Nelson will receive the President's Award, which recognizes outstanding professional and personal achievements and service to UW-Eau Claire.
|Rakesh Sreevinasam
|Dr. Tim Nelson
Sreenivasam received a bachelor's degree in biology from UW-Eau Claire in 1988 and currently is the vice president of operations for North America for Nestle Health Science. He is based in Minnetonka, Minn., but over the course of his 19-year career with Nestle, he has worked throughout the country and the world. Sreenivasam has worked at Nestle facilities in Switzerland, Morocco, Germany and Mexico. He also has been based in Virginia, Illinois, California, Iowa, Minnesota and Wisconsin. Sreenivasam and his family currently live in Eau Claire.
Sreenivasam, who was born in India, moved to the U.S. when he was 10 years old. He met his wife, Renee, a 1986 UW-Eau Claire medical technology graduate, in an organic chemistry and physics class. After graduating from UW-Eau Claire, Sreenivasam attended the University of Minnesota, where he earned a degree in mechanical engineering.
Nelson received a bachelor's degree in biochemistry and molecular biology from UW-Eau Claire in 1998. He serves as director of the Todd and Karen Wanek Family Program for Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome (HLHS), which is part of the Mayo Clinic's Center for Regenerative Medicine. HLHS is a rare defect in which the left side of the heart is critically underdeveloped.
Nelson leads a research team working with induced pluripotent stem cells. Researchers take pieces of human skin and bioengineer them to look and feel like embryonic stem cells. Those cells are then used as seeds, planted into diseased tissue, to grow new parts.
Thanks to Nelson's research, the Mayo Clinic will lead the first U.S. stem cell clinical trial for pediatric congenital heart disease. The trial will test the safety and feasibility of delivering personalized cell-based therapy into the hearts of 10 infants affected by HLHS.
Nelson and his research were featured on the ABC News program "Nightline" in January, and he has visited the UW-Eau Claire campus in the past to talk with students about internship opportunities and his cutting-edge research in regenerative medicine.
Nelson received his medical and doctoral degrees from the Medical College of Wisconsin.
Alumni Distinguished Achievement Award
Jerry Eliason, Krystyna Wolniakowski and Dr. Bart Wilson will receive the Alumni Distinguished Achievement Award, which recognizes distinguished service to the community, state or nation in a manner that brings credit upon the recipient and the university.
|Jerry Eliason
Eliason graduated from UW-Eau Claire in 1978 with a bachelor's degree in environmental and public health. His first job out of school was in the water quality lab of the Western Lake Superior Sanitary District in Duluth, where he worked for five years. He then joined the Minnesota Department of Public Safety as a driver's license examiner, was named Minnesota's examiner of the year in 2001 and was promoted to assistant regional supervisor in 2002.
A resident of Cloquet, Minn., Eliason said his reason for seeking employment in the Duluth area was to feed his growing interest in exploring and documenting Lake Superior shipwrecks. During the 1980s he published a dozen magazine articles about shipwrecks, many featuring his underwater photography.
Eliason is part of a three-member team that has been searching for sunken ships for more than three decades. He and his fellow crew members have discovered a total of 12 shipwrecks, 11 in Lake Superior and one in the North Atlantic. Two sunken freighters were discovered this year alone: the Henry B. Smith and the Scotiadoc.
Professor emeritus Dr. Robert Nelson, one of Eliason's environmental health instructors at UW-Eau Claire, assisted the Eliason crew in operating the underwater camera system Eliason developed and used during the Scotiadoc expedition.
"Observing Jerry's genius and savvy in planning, research and technology was truly a fulfilling and proud experience for me," Nelson said. "The other members of Jerry's team, Kraig Smith and Ken Merryman, are equally skilled, and the combination of their talents has led to many shipwreck discoveries."
Eliason is a member of the Great Lakes Shipwreck Preservation Society, a nonprofit organization dedicated to protecting Great Lakes shipwrecks from the looting of artifacts.
Eliason said his greatest achievement is his son, Jarrod (high school valedictorian and summa cum laude college graduate).
"At the age of 4, Jarrod attended a few classes with me at UW-Eau Claire when I couldn't find a babysitter or afford day care," he said.
A recent article in the Eau Claire Leader-Telegram describes Eliason's experiences as a shipwreck hunter.
|Krystyna Wolniakowski
Wolniakowski graduated from UW-Eau Claire in 1977 with a bachelor's degree in biology. In 1979 she received a master's degree from Oregon State University in environmental sciences with emphases in oceanography and marine ecology. She currently works as director of the Western Partnership Office for the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation. She previously worked in conservation for consulting firms, the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality and the German Marshall Fund of the U.S.
At the Oregon DEQ, she worked for 10 years on the passage of the toughest water quality standards in the country to prevent toxic pollution from being discharged into the state's waters and to protect high-quality waters in pristine wilderness areas.
During a decade abroad, Wolniakowski worked for the German Marshall Fund of the U.S., setting up the first philanthropic foundation in post-Communist Poland and helping to educate the newly democratic citizens about how to become involved in free elections. During this time she received the EcoLisc Award for her contributions to the Polish environmental movement. She was then promoted to director for Central and Eastern Europe, where she initiated grants to develop independent think tanks in economic, human rights and political reforms as well as the environment.
Wolniakowski started the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation's regional office in Portland, Ore., in 2000. Of note is her work to create the Community Salmon Fund for Washington state, leveraging millions of federal dollars with private community donations to bring almost extinct wild salmon species back from the brink to their home streams. She also is a member of the National Fish Habitat Partnership board, which oversees the restoration of marine and freshwater fish habitat across the U.S.
"My goal is to promote stewardship; protect intact, healthy habitat; and restore our nation's waterways and wildlife for future generations to learn from and enjoy," Wolniakowski said.
|Dr. Bart Wilson
Wilson graduated summa cum laude and with University Honors from UW-Eau Claire in 1992 with majors in economics and mathematics. He also holds a master's degree and doctorate in economics from the University of Arizona. He is a professor of economics and law at Chapman University (Orange, Calif.) and holds the Donald P. Kennedy Endowed Chair of Economics and Law. He has joint appointments in the Argyros School of Business and Economics and the Fowler School of Law, with a specialty in experimental economics.
Wilson's current research focuses on the emergence of markets and property right systems in laboratory economies. His other research programs compare human and nonhuman primate decision-making and apply the experimental method to topics in gasoline markets, e-commerce, electric power deregulation and antitrust. Wilson is part of the team, led by Nobel laureate Vernon Smith, that founded the Economic Science Institute at Chapman in 2008.
Wilson's research has been supported by the National Science Foundation, the Federal Trade Commission and the International Foundation for Research in Experimental Economics. He has published papers in numerous professional journals, including the American Economic Review, Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences and Proceedings of the Royal Society B. Wilson and three collaborators were awarded the 2012 Oliver E. Williamson Prize for best article in the Journal of Law, Economics and Organization for their article titled "The Ecological and Civil Mainsprings of Property: An Experimental Economic History of the Whalers' Rules of Capture."
Wilson extensively uses experimental economics in teaching undergraduate and graduate classes and has for the past eight years taught an intensive six-week program to introduce high school students and undergraduates to research in experimental economics.
Prior to joining Chapman University, Wilson taught at George Mason University in the department of economics, with affiliations in the schools of law and management. He also was a research scientist at the Economic Science Laboratory at the University of Arizona. He also spent a year in Washington, D.C., as an economist in the Division of Economic Policy Analysis and the Antitrust Division of the Federal Trade Commission.

|Zachary Verriden
Verriden graduated from UW-Eau Claire in 2004 with a bachelor's degree in political science and has a passion for and commitment to urban education. After graduating from UW-Eau Claire, Verriden immediately joined Teach For America, through which he spent two years teaching in Camden, N.J., and later went on to become one of the top recruiters for Teach For America after earning his master's degree in education policy and management from Harvard University in 2008.
He returned to teaching in 2009 at YES Prep Southwest School in Houston, where he served as the 10th- and 11th-grade level chair, instructional fellow and history instructor. His students achieved 100 percent passing and 67 percent commended scores for 10th-grade world history students on the Texas state test, and 100 percent passing and 74 percent commended scores for 11th-grade U.S. history students on the Texas state test.
In 2011 Verriden received his principal and business certificate from the Jones School of Business at Rice University in Houston and returned to Wisconsin to be close to family and work to improve schools in his home state. He currently is the principal of HOPE Christian High School in Milwaukee. In 2011, his first year as principal, the school boasted a 100 percent college acceptance rate for the senior class, a first for a high school on Milwaukee's north side. In his second year, the school achieved 100 percent college acceptance once again and raised the school ACT average to outpace the city, state and national averages for African-American students. Verriden also received recognition from Gov. Scott Walker for his hard work and dedication to improving education in urban schools. HOPE's current senior class is already at 83 percent for its college acceptance this school year.
Verriden's wife, Anya Woronzoff, said her husband's greatest strength is his unrelenting passion and belief in equality and in urban education.
"Zach is under the firm belief that any child, regardless of race, gender or ZIP code, is entitled to a quality education and to fulfill their dreams," Woronzoff said. "Just by stepping into his school you can see Zach's commitment is infectious. His passion for social justice is marked by the great successes his high school has seen since he has taken over as principal."

A long-held rule of thumb about how much money you need to save for retirement is under siege.
The upshot is that you may need to save even more upfront to enjoy the retirement lifestyle you want.
Some academics and financial planners say the so-called 4 percent rule, which was conceived two decades ago, is out of step with 21st-century realities. But others maintain that, with some modifications, it can still be relevant.
The rule calls for saving enough money so that, in conjunction with your Social Security benefits and any other income you might have, you can cover your expenses by withdrawing 4 percent each year from your investment portfolio, plus an adjustment for inflation.
The problem, some say, is that given the returns you're likely to reap on your investments, taking 4 percent-plus every year could lead to outliving your money.
"If someone can afford to take less than 4 percent, we advise that," said Janet Fox, president of ACH Investment Group in Raleigh. "Your money can work better, harder and longer for you. It makes sense."
A study published in the Journal of Financial Planning pointed out that the 4 percent rule was conceived when the average return on bonds was much higher than it is today. That's problematic for portfolios that devote a significant portion of their assets to bonds – which financial planners have long advocated for retirees because they are low-risk in comparison to stocks.
The study concluded: "The 4 percent rule cannot be treated as a safe initial withdrawal rate in today's low interest rate environment."
"We're dealing with an environment today where bond yields are at a historic low," said study co-author Wade Pfau, a professor of retirement income at the American College in Bryn Mawr, Pa. "Even though 4 percent worked historically, it's not clear it will always continue to work, especially in this kind of market environment."
Here's how the 4 percent rule works: If you have a $250,000 portfolio, you would withdraw $10,000 the first year. The second year you would withdraw $10,300 (assuming a 3 percent inflation rate); the third year you would withdraw $10,609. Those withdrawals would supplement other income, including Social Security benefits and a pension – if you're fortunate enough to have one.
One problem with the 4 percent rule is that it assumes people need their money to last for 30 years past retirement, said Raleigh financial planner James M. Richardson of Richardson, Carrington, Weaver and Associates.
Today, retirees often live longer than 30 years, "because they retire younger and live longer," Richardson said.
Regrettably, he added, some end up retiring earlier than they planned – or wanted to – because of circumstances beyond their control, such as layoffs.
Another issue with the 4 percent rule is what's known as the sequence-of-returns risk.
Essentially, it means that negative investment returns in the first few years of retirement can seriously erode your assets.
"If you have a big market drop early in your retirement and you keep on spending the same amount, it means you have to spend an increasing percentage of whatever is left," Pfau said. "That digs a hole for the portfolio."
Consequently, many financial planners suggest that retirees adjust their spending based on their investment returns. Cut back in the lean years and save the big expenses for the flush years.
"If we have a couple of great years, I may tell clients, let's take a little and pay off things that need to be dealt with," Richardson said. "If you know you're going to have to buy a car, let's do it now."
"Then," he added, "when things are bad you can scale down without really having to change the lifestyle."
To be sure, some financial planners say the 4 percent rule can still work.
The key, they say, is to seek out alternatives to investing big chunks of your portfolio in fixed-income investments such as bonds. Investing in preferred stocks, real estate investment trusts and stocks that pay dividends, such as utilities, can yield solid returns without a lot of risk.
"We have gone to some nontraditional sources of income," said Joe Gordon, managing partner of Gordon Asset Management in Durham. "You have to look at creative, alternative sources of income."
There is, however, a fundamental problem with the 4 percent rule that neither tweaking portfolios nor being flexible on spending from one year to the next can cure.
"Most Americans haven't saved enough money to begin with," said Ben Brooks, director of wealth management at Capital Investment Cos. in Raleigh. "In most cases, people are going to draw down more than 4 percent because they don't have enough money saved."
Financial planners say that, in those situations, they work with clients to reset their expectations for retirement and reduce expenses.
"We start to ask, what is it you really have to have to make yourself happy?" said Richardson.
One way to significantly reduce expenses is moving to a more affordable area.
"We tell people, maybe you don't want to try and live in Raleigh but if you move to Garner, then you're fine," Richardson said.
Many people choose to delay retirement because of insufficient savings.
"Some people say, I don't think I will ever be able to retire," said financial adviser Steven Katzenstein of HPG Wealthcare Advisors in Raleigh.
Katzenstein recalls, years ago, seeing a cartoon in which a client walks into a financial planner's office and announces: "I'm retiring this coming Thursday. I haven't saved a dime. This is your chance, financial planner, to become a legend."
"None of us in this industry," Katzenstein added, "want that client to come in."

Secret Clinical Strength Sensitive Skin Reviews
Works better than any other deodorant I've tried...I think I've tried nearly every deodorant out there. Mens, womens, clinical, extra strength, etc. Nothing has kept me dry like Secret Clinical Strength. Its been months since I started using it & its still working just as good as the first week for me. With other deodorants, I've had the same problems that the other girls mentioned - they stop working after about 2 weeks. I apply it as directe...read mored - at night before bed & again in the morning before running out the door. I haven't worried about sweat stains since I started using this. — 6 years, 10 months agoelectrickpulse | 3 reviews
This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 3 of 3 people said helpful
Decent, but maybe overrated.I was so excited whenever I saw this come out. I bought it immediately, it only cost me $8, not the $15 that is says on the page, but, I found that it worked really well for about 2 weeks and then, all of a sudden, it stopped working. Because it stopped working, I just ended up reverting to to "normal" deodorant because I figured there wasn't a good reason to continue buying "expensive" deodorant. — 6 years, 10 months agobrittanyk | 3 reviews
works GREAT!I've always been selfconscience about my underarms showing wetness. But after using this product the way it is sugested, at night before sleep, my wet underarms are now dry! — 6 years, 10 months agoedspurple | 1 reviews
didn't do it for methis product worked for the first 2 weeks then it all of a sudden just stopped working. I am a nurse and run around all day in the hospital and tend to sweat a lot because of the pressure and the long 12 hour shifts and it really didn't do what it promised it would. — 6 years, 10 months agocrazynursey | 4 reviews
Baby PowderThis is the best deo ever. I sweat a lot and this helps with the sweating and the smell. The Baby Powder scent doesn't smell like baby powder. It smells really girly and florally, but it is not over powering. I love it and won't use anything else. — 6 years, 10 months agofruit_cake22 | 5 reviews
Strong enough in a wayI have serious underarm sweating issues and have been going through many different deodorants over many years. This one works pretty well compared to other deodorants I've used. It does not 100% stop me from sweating, but reduces it a bit. Also reduces odor a tiny bit as well. I use it when I have to go out, I do not use it when I'm at home bumming around in my jammies. I would say it does protect me a lot better than the deodorants I use exclusively at home! — 6 years, 10 months agoSarKenobi | 17 reviews
BESTthis is the only deoderant that has been working for me. it smells great and stops you from sweating! — 6 years, 10 months agoms_outrageous | 38 reviews
Best one that I have found for hotmsummersThis is the best deoderent that I have used so far. I have found that when it's really hot you still sweat but the oder is almost none and I have that meditraian olive oily skin. Definetly worth the price. — 6 years, 10 months agomrhbel | 2 reviews
AMAZING!!!I was sort of hesitant to spending 9 dollars on deoderent, but this one was totally worth it!!! I put it on after I get out of the shower at night and then a lil' bit before I go to work in the morning. I swear it blocks ALL sweat & I don't have to worry about having wet underarms and looking stupid while I'm at work. Deff worth the price. I will never buy another deoderent again. — 6 years, 10 months agoThis1sAhKilla | 57 reviews
My favorite by far!This stuff is awesome, i sweat a little more than I should, and this is the only thing that makes a visible difference. I take Ball room dancing and you can work up a sweat doing that, but with this is barely noticeable. Its worth every penny! — 6 years, 10 months agoOlanna | 32 reviews

WASHINGTON - Reina Bolanos got a loan for her used Honda Odyssey in 2006 on what appeared to be favorable terms: $16,000 without a down payment. Though the 8 percent rate was high, Bank of America offered to spread the loan over six years to keep the monthly payments down.
But the secretary from Silver Spring, Md., found that raising her young children cost more than she had expected, and she now worries about losing the car after missing her last two payments.
A growing number of Americans are buckling under the weight of debt as the troubles that started among homeowners with subprime mortgages last year spread to other consumers who rely on credit. Auto loan borrowers are having an especially hard time. The number of people more than 60 days late on their car payments has spiked to a 10-year high, according to Fitch Ratings.
Similar problems are brewing for credit card holders. Card balances written off as uncollectible by banks have jumped 24 percent, and late payments are up 16 percent from a year ago.
Like the mortgage market, consumer credit boomed in recent years as lending standards loosened. Unorthodox auto loans lured consumers to buy cars they otherwise couldn't afford. Credit cards teased holders with introductory rates that soared after a few months. Now, more people are struggling to keep up with their bills under the strain of growing job losses and an economic downturn.
Consumers borrow more money today than at any point in history, and they are increasingly using credit to pay for nearly everything, from cars to groceries to electricity. Consumer debt reached an all-time high of $2.55 trillion in December, nearly double from a decade ago, according to the Federal Reserve. Some economists say Americans are simply paying the price of their addiction to debt and are now more vulnerable than ever.

In two weeks, some of the best in the design business will pick the brain of Concord's Adam Newton.He and his N.C. State University team are among 24 college students across the nation who will make presentations in Walt Disney Imagineering's 20th annual ImagiNations design competition June 13-17 in Glendale, Calif.Newton and his fellow students - Jay Brown, Michael Delaney and Patrick Carroll - were asked to unleash their creative, technical, artistic and business savvy.They could have designed something around a current ride, attraction, hotel or a land within an existing park or resort. But Newton and his team decided on something original: an interactive concert-turned-dark-ride based on Disney's 1940 animated film "Fantasia."Several months of work will be evaluated by a panel of Imagineering executives, who use the annual event as a way to lure potential talent. The organization has turned storytelling into a three-dimensional experience and creates all the company's attractions, cruise ships, parks and resorts around the globe.Six four-person teams will compete for a top prize of $3,000 and a $1,000 grant. Individuals will interview for a paid internship while being immersed in the creative process of Disney.Newton, a senior at N.C. State, studies industrial and systems engineering and creative writing. He was born in Anchorage, Alaska, while his father was in the military, but has lived in Concord since he was 5. The Mount Pleasant High School graduate is the son of Chris and Sherri Newton, originally from Morganton.Newton credits some of his ingenuity and drive to his Mount Pleasant Middle School theater teacher, Marnie Stoker, also his coach for Odyssey of the Mind, a national creative problem-solving competition."She thoroughly prepared me for this level of creativity, teamwork and innovation," said Newton, who answered five questions for Cabarrus News via email as he and his team prepared to compete.The team's presentation to Walt Disney Imagineering executives is June 15.Q. What is your project, and how will you present your idea to the judges? "We created an attraction based around the 'Fantasia' movies," said Newton. "We wanted to give guests the experience of not only being immersed in this unique, musical world but also the ability to control it."Guests will find themselves caught in a world where music is power - the world of Fantasia. They must use that power to navigate this magical land, defeat the evil forces and escape back to our world. It's an experience unlike (any) other theme park attraction, so we're thrilled to integrate and show off this innovation. "Q. How much work did you and your teammates put into this project, and how long have you been striving to be a part of this competition?"Back in the days when Roller Coaster Tycoon was state-of-the art gaming (I was probably in elementary school), I realized the theme park world was where I wanted to work," said Newton. "As with many kids, 'when-I-grow-up' ideas constantly change, but I kept coming back to trying to figure out how to make it a reality."I found a large Walt Disney Imagineering book at a local bookstore, and a year later had my parents convinced we needed to visit Walt Disney World. From then on, I was hooked."In middle school, I stumbled across the competition and set it as my objective.... During my freshman year at N.C. State, I met Patrick Carroll, who also wanted to submit a project to the ImagiNations competition. In January 2010, after two years of toying around with ideas, we found two other designers and spent the next 10 months developing a story and the idea."Q. Representatives from the competition say being part of the top six is a huge victory in itself, so how important is it for you and your team to actually take first, and what are your chances?"Simply being selected as one of six finalist teams is a major achievement but when we started this project, we agreed we were in it to win it," said Newton. "It was an 'aha' moment, once we settled on our story and realized this was the ticket to first place."One bit of advice we were given ... was to create an attraction, where you can do or experience something you can't experience in your living room. We considered all that could encompass and created something that would be familiar for guests to operate, but on a level only a Disney attraction could offer."Q. How does it feel to know that your ideas could be featured at Disney theme parks and attractions anywhere around the globe?"To consider that our idea might even be a spark of inspiration to the Imagineers is still surreal to grasp," said Newton. "We dreamed big in our attraction, pulled out all the grandiose effects we could dream up, but still there's always room for improvement. To see this idea come to life would truly be amazing, yet the opportunity to collaborate with Imagineers on an attraction inspired by one of the many elements of our attraction would be equally amazing."Q. What advice would you give students for future competitions?"First, look up all the standard Disney motivational quotes," said Newton. "They really do help when you're in a staring match with a blank piece of paper just daring you to make the first move toward creativity. Something as simple as 'Dreams really do come true' at the top is enough to start the creative juices flowing."Impossible ideas are usually the next big ideas in disguise."

Deadly crash has some demanding change
Ogden, N.Y. A 27 year old woman is now dead after her car somehow collided with dump truck full of gravel. Another car was also involved in the collision as well.
Ogden Police say the 27 year old is Teresa Devlin of Chicago.
The crash happened near the intersection of Stony Point road and South Union Street.
According to investigators, Devlin and a child passenger were traveling east on Stony Point road close to the intersection, when suddenly they collided with a Town of Ogden dump truck.
The dump truck flipped over and crushed much of the car trapping both Devlin and the child, while another car somehow crashed around the same area.
First responders spent almost an hour freeing them, but Devlin was later pronounced dead.
Police and neighbors in the area say there have been other crashes near the intersection in the past, some of them fatal.
Ive called 911 many times and seen several accidents, said Joyce Seaman, who heard the crash from inside her home. Id like to see it turned into a 4-way stop. She added.
The intersection is currently a 2 way stop with stop signs on Stony Point road. In 2009, the New York State Department of Transportation decided to add larger stop signs to the area to try and address concerns. Stop Ahead signs were also added.
The cause of the crash is still under investigation.
Ogden Police Chief Douglas Nordquist tells 13WHAM News hes not ruling out looking at previous accidents in the area to see if more changes need to be made with the intersection.
The child had serious injuries and was taken to the hospital, 3 people in the other car were also taken to the hospital with injuries.
The driver of the dump truck was treated on scene, and is expected to be okay.

Despite the concerns of several residents, the Homer Glen Village Board on Tuesday night approved plans for a group home for the developmentally disabled.
Trustees approved a special-use zoning permit for Trinity Services, a nonprofit organization founded in 1950, to use a house in the 17600 block of Crystal Lake Drive as a group home for four adult men, two with Down syndrome and two with autism. A trained staff member will be on-site around the clock, according to Trinity Services executive director Art Dykstra.
There was mixed reaction to the proposal among the more than 50 residents who attended the village board meeting.
Some, including the parents of the four men who will reside there, supported the group home, while many in the immediate neighborhood said they were concerned about upkeep of the property, how the group home would impact property values and Trinity's record of service.
Several residents said they had nothing against disabled people but questioned whether Trinity Services maintains its property well and said they feared the group home would become a blight on the neighborhood.
"Trinity Services has not been a good steward of their group homes," resident Anthony Cooke said.
Dykstra denied that and tried to alleviate residents' concerns about the group home, offering to meet with neighbors and giving them his home phone number.
"I would be proud to live next to them," he said of the home's residents. "They will be wonderful neighbors and good citizens."
Mayor Jim Daley said the village would make sure that Trinity complies with Homer Glen's codes and ordinances or its special-use permit would be revoked.
Parents of the men who are to live in the home spoke of the men's desire to live independently and urged the neighbors to not be fearful of them. The men, who range in age from 18 to 28, work in the community, participate in Special Olympics and play sports, their parents said.
Lori McAleavy's son has autism and wants to live in a group home.
"They need to live their lives, full lives," she said. "These boys will be a family together. They will help each other out. ... I really hope you welcome them into the community and treat them like neighbors."
Aileen Batistich said she has lived in Homer Glen for 41 years and has never experienced any intolerance or pity toward her son, who has Down syndrome. She urged the village board to approve the group home so her son could remain in his hometown in a residential setting.
"Afford them the opportunity to live in peace and dignity," she said. "We are all neighbors. It would be ideal if we could all act friendly and cordial to one another."
The village board voted 4 to 2 to approve the group home, with trustees Sharon Sweas and Margaret Sabo voting against it. Trustee George Yukich was absent. Daley cast the fourth vote in favor of the home.

Asylum (2005)
Critics Consensus: This catastrophic adaptation of Patrick McGrath's novel gets sillier and more implausible as it goes along.
Critics Consensus: This catastrophic adaptation of Patrick McGrath's novel gets sillier and more implausible as it goes along.
Movie Info
Directed by David Mackenzie, Asylum follows a 1950s family living in a home on the grounds of an asylum after Max (Hugh Bonneville), the patriarch, is assigned to serve as deputy director of a remote psychiatric hospital. Neither his wife, Stella (Natasha Richardson), nor his young son, Charlie (Augustus Jeremiah Lewis), are particularly happy about the arrangements, though Stella finds herself slowly becoming attracted to Edgar Stark (Marton Csokas), a charismatic inmate. Despite the obvious repercussions of an extramarital affair and the sage advice of Dr. Cleave (Ian McKellen), a colleague of her husband, Stella's slow-burning attraction becomes an all out obsession; before long, Stella is barely aware that she is risking her family, her sanity, and even her very life for Edgar. Asylum is based on a novel by Patrick McGrath. … More

Critic Reviews for Asylum
All Critics (94) | Top Critics (30) | Fresh (32) | Rotten (56) | DVD (4)
Asylum had promise. But it's bad enough to make one wonder just who had the loose screws -- the characters, or the people who filmed them?
Patrick McGrath's screenplay, based on his novel, has moments big and small, delivered in appropriate dollops of awfulness.
It's a movie you fall for or you don't, and like Stella, I am not ashamed I did.
Once characters' actions lose credibility, it's hard to empathize with them, no matter how well the roles are played.
The film, with its uniformly terrific cast, stern Gothic overtones and steady but measured pacing, is a crisp, old-fashioned delight, eschewing cheap tricks for repeated tiny pricks of unease that work up to a continuous gnawing dread.
offers a bleak vision of the Fifties, where an outbreak of passion or an artistic impulse would be quickly subjected, like any other madness, to containment.
Despite a superb cast, artful set design and seductive cinematography, Asylum remains a lovingly lensed missed opportunity.
There is nothing to Stella's character -- or any of these characters, for that matter -- that you can relate to.
So obsessed with rendering Patrick McGrath's exquisitely twisted Gothic novel as a refined affair that it forgets less ambitious pursuits, like sussing out a way to keep us awake.
Based on Pat McCabe's moody novel, Asylum has an over-the-top feverishness that suits its premise.
Marton Csokas ... comes across as a hybrid of Russell Crowe and Clive Owen in full-on brooding mode and has a genuine chemistry with Richardson that goes some way to explaining why she stays with him as a long as she does.
The film wryly wonders whether the lunatics have taken over not just the asylum but the entire world as well.
A troubling psychological drama about illicit passion leading to tragedy.
The film manages to turn potentially interesting characters into caricatures and potentially heady material into soap-opera melodrama.
A sort of perverse update of an overwrought Barbara Stanwyck-Bette Davis melodrama...
The film's great strength is a cast of supporting players who steal scene after scene from their leading lady.
... one of those terribly restrained psychological dramas that simply drips with prestige -- but too often trips over its own pretensions.

AFTER a century that saw age-old notions of artistic quality cast to the winds, it seems curious that some critics quaintly continue to condemn art for being "bad," as though the meaning of the term had remained constant. For the past five years I have enjoyed visiting the Dahesh Museum, in New York City, which bills itself as the only American museum devoted to what some still consider the baddest art of all: the super-realist painting and sculpture, often termed "academic art," that flourished in Europe throughout the nineteenth century, until Impressionism, the first modern-art movement, supplanted it.
Academic art, as a recent Dahesh publication defines it, is "that produced according to the precepts of an academy." By the end of the eighteenth century most major cities had an academy, usually based on a Renaissance model (the first was established in Florence in 1563) and promoting neoclassical realism, the Enlightenment ideal. In Paris the Académie was a branch of the government, and the artists who ran it defined official French tastes and standards. There, throughout the eighteenth century, aesthetics were being codified and subject categories ranked, with religious and allegorical scenes -- "history painting" -- at the top and domestic scenes at the bottom.
It is easy to assume that the urge to raise everyday life to the topmost rung propelled the rise of Impressionism. Yet academic realism was itself curiously populist. The years after the French Revolution saw a huge expansion in the audience and market for contemporary art, and the Académie's regular group exhibition, known as the Salon, was one of the first places in Europe where ordinary people could see it. At its peak, in 1880 (which was also its last year of government patronage), the Salon attracted, by Emile Zola's famed estimate, more than 30,000 visitors each Sunday. Its popularity probably explains why the categories of academic art had by then expanded to encompass solemn-eyed peasants, cutely anthropomorphic dogs, and Greek goddesses who resembled European vaudeville stars. Its popularity also probably explains why after World War I academic art began to drop in value until, in the 1940s, it was written off by most as the kitschy, benighted style that had forced the Impressionists to revolt. Today the fortunes of academic art are undergoing a surprising reversal. Museums throughout America are hauling out of storage their late-nineteenth-century pastoral landscapes, society portraits, and still lifes. Over the past two years the Metropolitan Museum of Art, in New York City, has mounted full-scale retrospectives of Pierre-Paul Prud'hon and Jean Auguste Dominique Ingres, the cream of early-nineteenth-century French academicians.
The Dahesh, however overlooked, has been a standard-bearer for this revival. The great thing about the museum, which is housed in the same midtown office building as a concern called The Fine Art of Hair Replacement, is that it unselfconsciously zeroes in on the nineteenth century's most discomfiting trends and talents. By 1998 the museum, which opened in 1995, had mounted shows focusing on Jean-Léon Gérôme and Alexandre Cabanel, whose titillating nudes were celebrated in their own time for upholding idealized neoclassical standards. One might encounter at the Dahesh an over-the-top, Hollywood-style Egyptian fantasy by the British Victorian Edwin Longsden Long, an exactingly detailed rendition of a snake charmer by the German Orientalist Karl Wilhelm Gentz, or a fetchingly bedraggled peasant girl painted by Adolphe-William Bouguereau, whose chocolate-box style is best known today through mass-market calendars. Visit on a weekday and you might also see at least one elderly lady gazing at a painting of a flower-garlanded ingenue and exclaiming, "Isn't that beautiful!"
Yet by drawing attention to art history's more dubious margins, rather than its highlights, the Dahesh offers entry into another world -- the one that set the stage for Modernism. Academic standards continued to exert a strong influence even after 1881, when the French government effectively turned the business of rendering aesthetic judgments over to the open marketplace. Now that our own art world seems to be undergoing a similar sea change, away from the certainties of an increasingly academicized avant-garde and toward the unknown, the nineteenth century makes for a usefully distant vantage point from which to consider the present.
One recent Dahesh show, for instance, offered a sampling of the many genres that would have glutted the Salon in its heyday, such as history painting, ethnic studies, and rural landscapes -- fascinating to see today, in an age that congratulates itself for artistic pluralism. Other shows have focused on the technical prowess, including smoothly finished brushwork and a flair for anecdotalizing history, that was demanded of well-trained artists in the mid nineteenth century, before the Romantic revolution persuaded the world that the artist's primary goal should be self-expression.

Post Surgery Teenager - Ovarian Cancer
Find a Conversation
|Sun, 09-25-2011 - 8:07pm
I'm new here and looked to see if I could find this discussed here previously but I didn't see anything.
Our 14yo daughter was diagnosed with ovarian cancer this summer. Surgery removed a 12# tumor, arby complications that hospitalized her an additional 5 days. This kept her from starting her freshman year on schedule and has created a lot of havoc for her. She's now showing all the signs of depression; sleeping, tears, etc. This weekend has been the worst and we are taking her in for a psych referral (for the depression) in the morning.
|Sun, 09-25-2011 - 8:24pm
Many gentle hugs to you. I don't have any btdt experience with a child with a life-threatening disease. You are doing the right thing by getting a psych consult. My very, very un-professional guess is that part of it is just normal 14 year old hormones as far as blaming you for everything; many kids think their parents are the root of all evil from about age 13 til 18 or so... But she obviously has much more to deal with in her life than the typcial bad hair day/that boy didn't say hi to me in the hall/issues of the typical 14 year old. Please keep us posted.
|Sun, 09-25-2011 - 8:27pm
Yes, the hormones at that age are out of control and after losing an ovary, I'm sure they are even more out of control.
|Sun, 09-25-2011 - 10:08pm
Well, *I* was a victim of a hit and run that hospitalized me for the last 3 months of school, when I was 11 going on 12.
|Sun, 09-25-2011 - 10:17pm
I'm so sorry you are going through this.
My oldest had, at age 4, an ovarian tumor which wrapped itself around her fallopian tube and became gangrenous.
|Mon, 09-26-2011 - 2:58pm
I have many family and friends who have had cancer, and they went right back to their routine, continuing to work thru their chemo and radiation.
It is great that they were able to do that, but I also imagine that many other patients are unable to bounce back so quickly. I have never had cancer, but I have certainly seen friends and family who were physically unable to work while undergoing treatment.
As for her school work, there is NO reason she should be falling behind
Again, I respectfully disagree. There are MANY reasons. I would hope that most of them can be worked through, but really - no reason? I haven't gone through anything near what the OP has with her child, but my dd18 missed about 60% of school days the second semester of Freshman year
|Mon, 09-26-2011 - 3:16pm
Has anyone else been through this? Any help, advice, etc., would be greatly appreciated.
I'm sorry to hear this. It sounds like an incredibly rough time for everyone. I'm very glad that you're taking her for counseling, and it doesn't seem surprising that she would be dealing with depression and anger after everything she's gone through. I've never gone through anything like this, but both my dds dealt with some health issues in middle school/high school as well as some traumatic events (death of a sibling and their father-which didn't affect me as much as it was my ex's child and later his death, after we were long divorced).
Everyone handles things differently and my older dd,
|Mon, 09-26-2011 - 7:06pm
Our DDs are 18 and 19, so your story touches me. I know this is very tough for you and her dad, as well as her.
|Mon, 09-26-2011 - 8:40pm
Okay, I know you're into tough love and that many kids need it, but you are replying to a woman whose child faced a life-threatening disease.
|Mon, 09-26-2011 - 9:02pm
Some of what you are seeing could be related to normal horomonal mood swings, but I picture a really frustrated, angry, tired girl.

text: The The Incredibles wiki last edited by MatthewParker on 09/20/14 06:52PM View full history PlotMr. Incredible is your standard superhero, he has super strength, he saves people, fights bad guys, and gets the girl. However, a young boy named Buddy Pine tries to be Mr. Incredible's side-kick with disastrous consequences. The public soon turn against super heroes so Mr. Incredible and his new wife, Elastigirl, move to the suburbs to live a normal life and have three children. His two oldest children, Violet and Dash have trouble fitting in at school, the former being incredibly shy (with the ability to turn invisible) and the latter being a troublemaker (with super-speed). However, Mr. Incredible is unhappy living a normal life and still goes after criminals with his friend and fellow super, Frozone.Mr. Incredible receives a message from Mirage and heads to a mysterious island where he can fight evil robots (after a quick stop to visit Edna Mode for an updated costume). Feeling more fulfilled, Mr. Incredible is a better father and husband until he is captured by Buddy Pine, now the supervillian Syndrome. Mrs. Incredible becomes suspicious of her husband's disappearances and relationship with Mirage and goes to Edna to learn about Mr. Incredible's double life and the whole family receives new costumes. She goes to the island to retrieve him, but Violet and Dash stowaway on her airplane. The plane is shot down, but the family reach the island.Mrs. Incredible goes to save Mr. Incredible, but the children are attacked by Syndrome's drones and the family is reunited as Mr. and Mrs. Incredible try to save the children, but the whole family is captured. Violet frees the family and they head to the city where Syndrome is sending attack robots. There they meet with Frozone to defeat the robots.After the robots are defeated, Syndrome escapes, but heads straight to the family home to kidnap Jack-Jack, the baby of the family. As Syndrome is flying away, the baby's super powers first manifest allowing him to change form. Syndrome is unable to hold the baby (who is rescued by his mother) and is pulled into a plane propeller by his cape.The family returns to their everyday life, but the children are both happier now that they have saved the day and more confident in their powers. The family is more than ready to snap back into action as heroes when threatened by The Underminer.SequelIn March 2014 it was announced that a Incredibles sequel was in the works.

Hungary's government bonds strengthened, sending yields to a six-day low, after the central bank kept the European Union's highest benchmark interest rate unchanged today.
Gains in the benchmark three-year notes cut yields four basis points, or 0.04 percentage points, to 8.57 percent, the lowest since March 21. The forint was 0.2 percent weaker at 292.11 against the euro at 2:37 p.m. in Budapest. The Magyar Nemzeti Bank left its two-week deposit rate at 7 percent for a third month, matching the forecast from all 26 economists surveyed by Bloomberg News. Central bank President Andras Simor will explain the decision at 3 p.m. in Budapest.
"The forint might benefit today should central bank President Andras Simor acknowledge the rising inflation risks," Carolin Hecht, a Frankfurt-based strategist at Commerzbank AG, wrote in a research report.
Consumer prices in February rose 5.9 percent from a year earlier, the fastest pace in the EU, driven by fuel and household energy costs, data published on March 13 showed.

Looks like they had it right. The French. About Iraq, that is. Notwithstanding their new President Sarkozy, who seems to have all the rigorous intellectual sophistication of George Bush the Younger (Work harder! Think less! Speak English!), it appears that a culture built upon centuries of deep rumination and political-social-philosophical analysis — as well as a fundamental physical laziness that seems to preclude futile military forays — has earned every drop of told-you-so schadenfreude it cares to dispense in our general direction (Steewpid, steewpid Americans!). Meanwhile, shame is bitter in our mouths. It tastes like overripe mimolette. Thus, we end our boycott, tuck our tails, and slink back to our favorite neighborhood bistros, begging to lick the hand that has heretofore fed us so brilliantly. We'll order our mess of moules marinières and steak frites without qualms: The hordes of pro-war patriots waving jagged Bordeaux bottles have all gone home.
French Bordeaux, by the way, the same wine one West Palm Beach restaurateur defiantly spilled into the gutters of Clematis Street until our pavements ran with blood, is not just respectable again; it's hot. Any schlub can buy futures of the extraordinary 2005 vintage at Costco. (A case of Margaux goes for $724.99, and you'll need to find a friend in Texas or California — they won't ship to Florida). You can't pick up your wine and taste it until 2008, but by then, I'm guessing our relationship with France will be as sunny as a six-week vacation on the Riviera. That would be the vacation the French have given up in favor of the virtues of honest corporate toil and English-language classes.
Anyway, you'll want to ease your way back into the sweaty pleasures of homemade pâté and garlic-soaked snails; an excellent place to renew your Francophilic vows is at Rendez-Vous Bakery and Bistro on Oakland Park Boulevard. This Lauderdale Rendez-Vous is the northern arm of a pair of restaurants that serve breakfast, lunch, and dinner, both owned by Pascal Eimet; the other is in Aventura and bakes fresh breads and pastries for both operations. It won't surprise anybody who's eaten Eimet's simple and reasonably priced bistro classics if the concept takes off and spawns little Rendez-Vouses all over the map. I don't quite know where else we're going to satisfy our early morning cravings for quiche aux oignons or battered brioche French toast or chocolate croissants at these prices.

I won't bore you with sentimental drivel: Rendez-Vous doesn't evoke any fond memories of breakfasts in Quimper, where I once spent a couple of months as a teenager not learning French. What I did learn that summer was how to make out with the boys of Brittany and also how a trip to la plage looked from the back of a moto. I also developed a palate for sour French butter slathered on baguettes that crackled when you split them open. And an appetite for crepes rolled up around butter, sugar, and a few drops of lemon juice, eaten single-handedly. At Rendez-Vous, the butter is American and comes wrapped in gold foil; the bread is warm and satisfying but lacks a classic brittle crust and just-shy-of-sour crumb; the crepes (ham and cheese are $8.50 at lunch and $11.75 at dinner) get lost under suffocating blankets of béchamel. And if the onion soup ($5.50) can't match Julia Child's inebriate version, I don't expect the average customer at RV wants to get soused on cognac and white wine over their bowl of broth at lunchtime (not that I'd mind it much). Otherwise, that's all the complaining you're going to hear from me. The rest is golden.
"Oooh, lucky you!" our waitress rhapsodizes. She has a wooden tray in her arms, and on the tray a bowl of three-dozen mussels emits clouds of onion-scented steam. If RV served nothing but this huge platter of moules marinières ($13.50) and the thin, salty fries that come with it, an awful lot of people wouldn't be any less happy. These moules are smothered in sweet onions in a bath composed of white wine, shallots, parsley, and butter. This fragrant, bottomless bowl is a working girl's dinner. I can't put away more than half of them; the waitress ("Such a wonderful place to work. The food is unbelievable. I've gained five pounds.") insists I take the rest home.
"Boil the broth first," she counsels us. "Then pour it over the mussels so they don't overcook. You won't believe how good they taste the next day." Off she goes to the kitchen, to separate all the elements so I can re-create bliss at home. I'm wondering — when was the last time I met a waitress so greedy for the food she was dishing out? Eees a good sign, no?
But then, I'm considering applying for a job here myself just for the free meals. I like the atmosphere too — the vinyl booths and tile floors, the view of the kitchen behind the old cafeteria-style counter, shelves of bread and the pastry display case: Imagine Denny's gone Bohemian. Between courses, we have front-row seats for a kitchen fire that whoomps out the window between grill and dining room, flame licking up wood paneling. The staff handles this with aplomb — it's out in less than a minute, and then it's back to the sound of slow sizzling and the inane conversation of two gay couples at the table behind us. Evidently, they've met online and are just getting acquainted.

dreading guides and pages
forum categories
it's been a while lol. glad to say that i stopped putting food in my hair lol. thanks for your concern.
thanks for the encouragement!!
thanks you so much for the advice!!
Thanks for your comment and concern. This is a battle i fear will never win but i'll try again with you. I have always had extremely oily hair. Using the dawn has really helped cut that back. When the dawn stops working for that and starts unknotting my already forming dreads, then i will gladly stop using it. But until that happens, the dawn stays in my shampoo bottle.
I'm not trying to be rude or ungrateful to anything or anyone on this site. I am just sticking with what works for ME and MY hair. If it doesn't work for most people then i understand them going a different route.
Again, thanks for your comment and concern.
Not to come off rude
Coconut oil would be to much for my hair If I was an idiot!!! But I live in upstate central New York. So all winter the heating systems DRY THE LIVING FUCK OUT OF EVERYTHING!! So when I have half A dread rip out when I am barley touching them Coconut oil is perfect! It is also great on the rest of my skin and what not. I ALSO did not SOAK my hair! I melted barely a handful and massaged it in to my scalp and let that sit for 20-30mins Roughly then rinsed it out. (It's more for my scalp than m dreads I guess)
I also have Jojoba BUT I clean my hair so little that I have only used it once with some Aloe Vera. I got a moisturizing spray recipe from somewhere which how I made that. It worked well. I am not really in to conditioners EVEN wen I had no dreads. HELL I never washed my hair with anything then XD
After I fixed that one time issued I only EVERY put it in 3 days after Tea Tree Oil(I do as needed. Once every other month is where I am at) So TTO Bi-monthly (roughly) Coconut Oil In winter as needed. :)
Also I am PRETTY sure the picture just makes my dreads look bigger than they are. I am a TINY girl! So
I'm not worried about the size of them for that reason and also
I just STOPPED brushing my hair and that is what my hair did. It was and still isn't long enough to reach my shoulders. So as some would say I did it like a real African kid just let my short hair knott as I play! :)
Advice I could use is Dandruff! Moist and Dry dandruff. Making me SO ITCHY! :)
THANKYOU for commenting me your advice! I Didn't mean to come off rude if I did. I just have epilepsy and HATE computer. :) So truly thank you DEFF keep chatting and helping I really only joined the site to do so XD
yes I did
Thanks man I'm pretty excited. Starting to lock up already. It's really freeing just letting the wind blow and let my hair do what it wants
thanks man i like yours as well
Again, thanks for the advice! :) I washed this morning and that was exactly what I did - just a few squeezes to get the bulk of the water off. :3
Hey man! Thanks for the Welcome))
Ive read you like to longboard, thats cool! I also love riding )
Thank you for the advice. I started toweling because I'm usually rushing to get to work in the morning and am just trying to get the bulk of the water off of my hair. Big wet spots on scrubs don't look very good. LOL But I'll give it a go and see how I do. Thanks again!
yes I just started my first wash like this a week ago,I got the recipe from the free dread kit and thanks for caring man.I really love seeing people help one another the way people do on here,hell who needs the facebook drama lol.thanks again to all who have helped me in my dread dream come true.
Thanks :)
thanks. nah man just hair and soap. i did a twist and interlock the first week of august and then just let it ride, haven't done a thing besides regular washing with bronner's and a lot of seperating. i actually just ripped apart a huge congo at my right temple and didn't even twist it or anything afterward. it was kinda crazy and stupid and involved scissors at one point but doesn't really bother me, it's just hair. kinda neat having the entire side of my head freeforming.
