For the first time since the late 1940s, Baby Boomers are not the biggest generation. Millennials have stolen that crown. The shift happened somewhere near 2012, so it's no coincidence that 2012 was the first year since 1976 that Baby Boomer voters picked the losing candidate in a presidential election. Boomers and Millennials differ in many ways, and those differences are changing America.

New revelations show Palmer athlete's death caused by head injury
Posted By Ryan Casey On May 5, 2011 @ 3:29 pm In Concussions | 1 Comment
If you haven't had the chance to read Brent Briggeman's piece on the revelation that Palmer athlete Sam Hesselberg died from complications resulting from a concussion [1] in The Gazette this morning, I highly recommend that you take a moment to do so.
Hesselberg, a three-sport athlete who played hockey, baseball and golf, died suddenly last December. Originally, an aneurysm was thought to be the cause because there was no evidence of an impact injury,¹ and the bleeding had occurred inside the brain.
Since then, a "specialist in Texas" sought to find the exact cause of death. That specialist determined a head injury to be the cause.
Briggeman relays that Hesselberg likely suffered a concussion in a Dec. 13 game, "explaining to his father later that night that he 'got his bell rung.'"
His parents, Steven and Leanne Hesselberg have graciously told their son's story in the hope it can help raise awareness of concussion.
"We're not after anybody," Steven Hesselberg told The Gazette. "There's nothing that could have prevented it. We just think people need to be aware of this."
Parents: please take the time to learn about concussions [2]. Head injuries are serious, and not to be brushed off. Recent research and evidence has shown the long-term effect repeated concussions can have on athletes. They can also be deadly [3].
¹ This is something the concussion awareness community has been harping on the last few years: concussion isn't an injury you can see. So there wouldn't have been evidence of an impact injury to find. There are no CT scans, no MRIs — no test whatsoever — that exist where a doctor can show you the results and say, "See? Right there, that's the concussion." No, a concussion won't leave a sign. (And, if there are signs of an impact that show up on a CT or MRI, that's a separate, and likely more catastrophic, injury.)

Independence after Gary Banks
PUBLISHED: 26 Sep 2012 00:06:25 | UPDATED: 26 Sep 2012 08:42:22PUBLISHED: 26 Sep 2012 PRINT EDITION: 26 Sep 2012Alan Mitchell
The decline of the terms of trade and the need to revive productivity growth have made the question of the independence of the Productivity Commission one of the most pressing issues in economic policy.
The commission's chairman, Gary Banks, whose independent critique of government policy undoubtedly got up the noses of unions and some senior ministers, has unexpectedly announced his early retirement.
This has raised fears that the government intends to replace Banks with someone more "flexible", someone who would enjoy the support of the Australian Workers Union and the Construction, Forestry, Mining and Energy Union (CFMEU) which recently described the commission as a taxpayer-funded right-wing think tank.
The decision on Banks's replacement is too important to be made solely by a minority government within 12 months of a desperate struggle for its electoral survival.
The Productivity Commission is the linear descendant of the Industries Assistance Commission, or IAC, established by the Whitlam government in the 1970s. The independent, open inquiries and the often unwelcome public advice to governments of the IAC and its successors played a vital role in the economic reforms of the Hawke, Keating and Howard governments.
Now a new generation of political leaders must revive that spirit of reform because, without it, Australian living standards will again slip down the international scale.
With mineral export prices now in decline, Australians must look primarily to productivity growth to generate rising real incomes.
The reform and policy discipline needed to generate that productivity growth is a politically difficult, long-term project. The policy decisions will take several parliamentary terms to have a demonstrable effect.
The new commission chairman should be a bipartisan choice.
For both Julia Gillard and Tony Abbott the bipartisan appointment of a high quality replacement for Banks would be tangible evidence of their understanding of the need for disciplined, longer-term economic policies.
That ought to be an attractive proposition for both politicians. Election years rarely allow political leaders the luxury of even a nod in the direction of good economic policy.
Yet a subtle public commitment to a strong and independent Productivity Commission would give them both more licence to indulge in their election-year profligacy. The profligacy then would be seen by opinion leaders as a departure from the more responsible rule, rather than the rule itself.
In fact, a strong, independent Productivity Commission is a great asset for any government. Most importantly it helps to create the political space in which governments can make the difficult policy decisions needed to produce stronger income growth over the medium term.
That's the essential service the commission's predecessors provided to Bob Hawke and Paul Keating.
It exposed the cost to the economy of decades of deals with vested interests, and showed the potential benefits of competition and reform.
It didn't settle any of the bitter arguments, but it told the public who to believe. And that allowed Hawke and Keating to get on with the reforms for which Labor was rewarded with 13 years of government.
However, the commission plays a nuanced role. It protects the government against the inevitable pressure, often from its own supporters, to make really bad decisions.
When rent-seeking manufacturers or their unions demand urgent, economically damaging action against competition and structural change, an urgent inquiry by the Productivity Commission is the government's first line of defence.
Moreover, as the Fraser government showed, there is no need for the government to accept the commission's hard-headed advice.
Rather it can use the commission's advice to negotiate a compromise deal. Or it can reject the advice entirely and make a double hero of itself: not only has it given the rent-seekers what they demanded, it has overruled the advice of the commission!
There always will be appalling decisions. Good government is about keeping the damage to a minimum.
That means rationing the economic indulgences and making the recipients feel very blessed while, at the same time, ensuring that the core of economic policy decisions promote productivity and income growth for the wider economy.
And that is exactly what an independent Productivity Commission can help a government do.

Some things are so simple. I swear I should have thought of this idea years ago. But, no.
Instead, my seventh-grader introduced me to this graham crackers with cream cheese creation that they made in Consumer Literacy (i.e. Home Economics). Last night he asked me if we had any cream cheese at the house, and of course I said yes.
Cream cheese is one of the staples on my grocery list. I love cooking with cream cheese, especially for dips and desserts.
So, last night we made a yummy snack of graham crackers with cream cheese. Now, in class they topped these with strawberries, which sounds perfectly delightful. However, my son preferred his without strawberries (and we didn't have any), so that is how we ate them. And they were GOOD.
I decided to add an extra nutritious little health kick to my graham crackers when I made them again. Bananas. B.A.N.A.N.A.S. Can't say that word (or type it) without that song coming to mind.
Bananas rule. But, even if you don't like bananas, you can rock graham crackers with cream cheese. With strawberries, raspberries, a flavored cream cheese, or maybe a little bit of honey. Or chocolate. Or…
You get the picture. The possibilities of jazzing up this plain ole little graham cracker are wide open. And so simple to make.
My son had this for breakfast. Minus the bananas and milk. Yeah, he's on an iced coffee kick. Or hot mocha. I don't get the fascination with coffee, but it's one of those battles I skip. Almost a teenager and all.
I always love finding an easy and enjoyable recipe. This one is a keeper!
- 2 graham crackers
- 2-3 tablespoons cream cheese (I use light)
- banana, strawberries or other topping
- Break each graham cracker in half and spread cream cheese on each half cracker. Top with bananas, strawberries or other topping if desired.
- Make sandwich crackers with cream cheese in the middle or as an open-face 'sandwich'.
- Enjoy!

Australian Open champion Stanislas Wawrinka has withdrawn from next week's ABN AMRO World Tennis Tournament in Rotterdam.
The 28-year-old Swiss star has been forced to bypass the ATP Tour event due to a leg problem.
Wawrinka played alongside Roger Federer as Switzerland defeated Serbia last weekend to qualify for the Davis Cup quarter-finals.
He travelled to Novi Sad for the team event after claiming his first Grand Slam success by beating Rafael Nadal in Melbourne and he now needs a breather.
"Unfortunately I'm not in the form to compete in Rotterdam," said Wawrinka.
"I hope to be back on court very quickly."

LAS CRUCES, N.M. — College football in Las Cruces officially kicks off with the New Mexico State Aggies first home game Saturday.
Fans began setting up RV's early Friday afternoon in anticipation for the home opener against the Minnesota Golden Gohpers.
"The Texas game gave us a lot of hope so we're hoping the team is going to be there," said Scott Archer of his expectations for Saturday's game.
After playing tough against the Longhorns the first half, the Aggies lost 56 to 7.
Coach Doug Martin said the team needs to close out games and get the win.
"We're no longer into moral victories around here so it's not ok the way that game ended up," Martin said.
Archer does expect the first game at home against the Golden Gophers to be a tough one.
"We watched their semi pull in and it was impressive," Archer said. "So I expect the team to be about the same."
With an independent schedule this season, fans feel it's too early to tell how the season will play out.
"I think there's going to be a lot of good games and there's going to be a lot of power teams," Archer said. "I just want good games."
Game time is 6 p.m. and gates open at 4 p.m.
As of the end of the day Friday, a bit more than 7,000 tickets had been sold.

Gladtime Dairy doesn't have any cropland, but wheat straw and a little hay are its only purchased feeds.
Barley sprouts grown indoors provide most of the nutrients for Scot Edwards' and Bill Underwood's 100-cow Jersey herd near Pima, AZ. The cows average 30-40 lbs of milk per day at a feed cost ranging from $2.50 to $3/cow, depending on the price of straw, says Edwards.
He and Underwood are among a small but growing number of livestock producers turning to hydroponic forage production to combat high hay and grain prices. The sprouts are grown year-round in a greenhouse, in racks of long trays fed by circulating water laced with nutrients.
They produce 4,000 lbs of green feed daily using FarmTek's Fodder-Pro system, but similar systems are available from several companies. FodderTech, Fodder Solutions, Fodder Feeds and GrazeGreen are a few of the other brand names.
Developed in Australia,hydroponic forage systems have been sold in the U.S. for several years, but this year's drought has spurred interest, marketers say. Although the initial investment is high, they say a well-managed system can pay for itself in two or three years at current purchased-feed prices.
Costs range from a few thousand dollars for a system that grows fodder as a supplement for a small herd to well over six figures for one that supplies the primary forage in a larger operation. A dedicated building usually is needed for larger systems, too, and the daily labor requirement is significant.
At Gladtime Dairy,hydroponic forage production is a full-time job for one employee. He soaks and washes seed daily, spreads it on trays, harvests fodder, cleans empty trays, etc.
Seed becomes harvestable fodder in six or seven days. Mats of fodder are rolled up and loaded into a mixer wagon, then straw and a small amount of water are added.
"We throw a bale of hay in there, because, when it mixes with the straw, the cows seem to like it better," says Edwards. "We don't feed any grain anymore."
The fodder is only 12% crude protein, but a recent test showed that it's 87% digestible, so the cows utilize more protein than they get from alfalfa hay, he says. It's high in energy, too, and micronutrients are added to the water.
"Instead of putting out minerals, we feed them to the plants to get better growth. In turn, the cows get them, too. I don't think we've treated a sick cow since January when we switched to it, and I don't think we've even had a case of mastitis."
Edwards and Underwood paid $50,000 for the hydroponic equipment and the 2,000-sq-ft greenhouse, doing the setup work themselves. The greenhouse temperature is controlled by large evaporative coolers. They work well in winter, but Arizona's summertime temperatures – often climbing well above 100°F – are more than they can handle. High temperatures inside the greenhouse result in moldy fodder.
They're getting ready to convert the dairy's unused commodity barn into a controlled-environment building for growing forages.
"We're going to take all the information we learned in the first one and put it in an enclosed, air-conditioned building," reports Edwards, who has helped other dairy and beef producers install hydroponic forage systems.
They're growing in popularity, he says. "I've got friends who build big commercial systems, and they're busy right now. One is building a big automated one in New Mexico to feed a 3,000-cow herd."

Is the "bootable flag" needed in today's distributions? If not, then Why is it still in the installers? What is it exactly?
The boot flag is from ancient times, where you would indicate an MBR partition record as bootable, so you could indicate where the boot loader resided. On modern OS'es this is widely unused, as the MBR consists of a minimal stage loader which bootstraps either into its own partition or jumps to another area on the disk where the boot loader code is kept. (An MBR can contain either executable code or the boot partition table among other things. See also this link to an article about the MBR). As an example, GRUB is written into the MBR and boots whatever partition you choose. See also this (quite small) Wikipedia page about the boot flag: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boot_flag |
Every operating system that uses some kind of PC-derived hardware needs to be booted. This starts with an ancient, OS-independent bootstrap-search which is initiated by the BIOS (basic input output system) of the PC or server. That BIOS-piece of code tries to load the MBR from the first suitable boot-device. The search order for the boot-device is configurable in the BIOS-setup: which (disk) device first, which next and so on. The "legacy" MBR tries to find the first primary partition that is marked as bootable and checks wether there is a short magic hex-code on that partition. If the hex-code is found the rest (the bootstrap loader) is executed by the bios. Here begins the booting of the operating system - may it be DOS, Windows, Linux, ... |

Ten Pieces Of Divorce Advice You Are Going To Need
Whether you are thinking about divorce or in the middle of one, there are a few things you need to prepare yourself for. No matter how many questions you ask your attorney or how much advice you've gotten from friends, there are going to be pieces of advice that people just will not give you. Here is a list of 10 things that you normally won't hear:
The Ten Pieces of Divorce Advice You Wish You'd Gotten
- Sit Tight, It's Going to be Awhile
The hurt does not go away once the ink dries on the divorce papers. In reality, it takes years to put your life back together. Give yourself time to grieve and process your feelings properly from the start. If you have trouble, see a therapist. There's no harm in asking for help. - Expect Physical Reactions to Divorce
Stress has a way of impacting the body. From stomachaches to insomnia to weight gain (or loss), your mental well-being will affect your physical well-being too. Put your health first and avoid overdoing junk food and alcohol. - Expect Feelings of Hate
Anger is a stage of grief and one most people recovering from divorce go through. If you have not experienced anger toward your spouse yet, it's likely you will. Try not to be too caught off guard. Simply manage your feelings so that your children don't detect those feelings and so that your actions don't make the divorce even more difficult. - You Might Hear Wedding Bells and They Might Not Be Yours
Despite how happily divorced you may be, hearing that your spouse is remarrying is tough. This opens old wounds and will make you re-evaluate your life. Look at it as a chance to grow, but give yourself room to be sad. Whatever you do, don't spend the wedding day alone. Find friends to distract you. - Try a Kind Word or Two
When seeing your spouse in court or at future events that include your kids, you will most likely feel uncomfortable and stressed out. It's hard to know what to say or how to approach your former spouse.
With time, it will get easier and after awhile it may not be an issue at all. When the divorce is fresh, try walking up to your former spouse right away and saying hello. You don't need to have a long conversation, just share an item or two of information about the kids. If you're really feeling generous, ask how he or she is doing, but then be on your way.
Don't pick fights and don't allow room for a conversation to escalate to an argument. The goal is to cut the tension and re-learn how to be around one another as formerly married people. - Child Support and Parenting Time Are Two Different Things
Child support is not on a sliding scale. In other words, if the child spends less time with the paying parent one month and significantly less time the following month, the support payments will not fluctuate accordingly. There is no cause-and-effect between visitation and child support. - Being the Favorite Parent Gets You Nowhere
Kids often play favorites and make claims for loving one person more than another. While it may feel good to hear you are the favored parent, to hear that you aren't the favorite can be devastating - at least until your child changes his or her mind and considers you the favorite again. Don't ask your child to pick a favorite parent and teach them to love both parents equally. - Flaws Remain Flaws
If there were things about your spouse that you didn't like when you were married, you can count on those things bothering you after the divorce. Chances are you will be bothered even more. Instead of getting caught up in your ex's "flaws," learn to accept him or her for who they are and overlook what you can in order to get things done.
It will be tempting to ask your attorney to help "explaining" certain things to your spouse so he or she will see your side. Unfortunately, your attorney can't change that person. Save the money in attorney fees and recognize the differences between the two of you. - Be Prepared to Throw Out the Plan
Life is about change. The parenting plan and divorce agreement provide some type of order and consistency, but as years go by things do change. Expect negotiations and trade-offs for the years to come. - It is Possible to Remain Friendly
As the famed author Constance Ahrons says in her book "The Good Divorce," it is possible to go through a divorce amicably. Families remain families even after divorce, and it's up to the adults to treat others wish respect.
Keep Your Composure and Stay Positive
No matter what happens or what has happened in the past, know that you are a good person. Do your best to stay positive and try to keep the lines of communication open. Lean on your friends and family and be sure to open yourself up to new things. And remember that it's okay to ease into your new life. Take as much time as you need.

Research/Program Evaluation
Jump$tart Coalition: Youth and Money
The Jump$tart Coalition's 2008 survey shows that financial literacy is still declining among high school seniors. In the 2008 survey, high school seniors correctly answered only 48.3 percent of the questions compared to 52.4 percent in the 2006 survey. The survey was given to 6,856 high school 12th graders in 40 states, and the 31-question survey revealed that high school seniors have a lot to learn about important financial concepts. Further, this year marked the first-ever college students' survey, and the results were brighter for these students. College students earned higher scores than their high school peers, with 62 percent of the questions answered correctly. Visit the Jump$tart Web site to view the entire news release.
Retirement Confidence Survey
According to the 2008 Retirement Confidence Survey, the percentage of workers very confident about having enough money for a comfortable retirement decreased sharply, from 27 percent in 2007 to 18 percent in 2008, the biggest 1-year drop in the survey's 18-year history. Retiree confidence in having a financially secure retirement also decreased, from 41 percent to 29 percent, a drop of 12 percentage points. Decreases in confidence occurred across all age groups and income levels, but was particularly acute among younger workers and those with lower income.
Who is Ready for Retirement?
Although at least half of Baby Boomers are on track to a comfortable retirement, substantial numbers are not. The gap between haves and have-nots is likely to be greater than in previous generations, according to this AARP Public Policy Institute Issue Paper by Sophie Korczyk. The paper analyzes recent literature on retirement income adequacy with a focus on Boomers.
Rising Health Care Costs for Older Americans
As the U.S. population ages, there is considerable debate about whether rising health care costs, low savings rates, and growing levels of household debt threaten the future financial security of older Americans. New research uses data from the Health and Retirement Study to investigate the impact that new and existing health problems have on the financial strain of older Americans. The results show that health problems significantly increase the likelihood of financial strain for older individuals, but the effects vary by the measure of financial strain used and how health status is defined. Hyungsoo Kim, University of Kentucky, and Angela Lyons, University of Illinois, in the Journal of Consumer Affairs, discuss their findings into the future financial security of older Americans and have important implications for health policy and research.

Automatic Deposit Encouraged for Seniors
Many older Americans are concerned about their safety. Some live alone, have limited mobility, or rely on the watchful eye of caring neighbors, close friends, or family. For seniors receiving Social Security or Supplemental Security Income payments, switching from paper checks to direct deposit is an important step they can take toward achieving greater security. May is Older Americans Month, the perfect time to remind seniors about the dangers of financial crimes and help them to safeguard their money with direct deposit. In fiscal year 2007, nearly 60,000 Treasury-issued checks were fraudulently endorsed. Direct deposit eliminates the risk of check fraud and helps protect people from identity theft. If you are hosting events in honor of Older Americans Month, Go Direct encourages you to include information about the benefits of direct deposit. Go Direct created many special materials to reach seniors and others who receive federal benefit checks and teach them about the important safety aspects of direct deposit. Visit Go Direct, or call 952–346–6055, to learn more about opportunities to support the campaign during Older Americans Month and beyond.

The National Association of Chain Drug Stores stressed to lawmakers that chain pharmacies are commited to patient safety as part of the next Prescription Drug User Fee Act (PDUFA) reauthorization.
Retail News Breaks Archives
ALEXANDRIA, Va. – The National Association of Chain Drug Stores stressed to lawmakers that chain pharmacies are commited to patient safety as part of the next Prescription Drug User Fee Act (PDUFA) reauthorization.
NACDS on Thursday submitted written testimony to the House of Representatives Energy and Commerce Subcommittee on Health ahead of a hearing titled "FDA User Fees 2012: Hearing on Issues Related to Accelerated Approval, Medical Gas, Antibiotic Development and Downstream Pharmaceutical Supply Chain."
The association also said Thursday that it and several of its members have joined the Pharmaceutical Distribution Security Alliance (PDSA), which aims to promote pharmaceutical supply chain security.
In its testimony to the House subcommittee, NACDS emphasized that community pharmacist-provided services help improve health outcomes without the introduction of unproven technologies. The association said it supports some drug safety reforms included in the proposed PDUFA reauthorization, including the use of drug industry fees to review drug applications for sound-alike proprietary names and factors that could lead to medication errors, such as unclear label language or package designs.
NACDS also backs the proposal to standardize Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategies (REMS) and further incorporate these risk mitigation plans into the healthcare system. As Congress considers the REMS program, the Food and Drug Administration should include the development of methodologies to gauge the effectiveness of REMS and get pharmacy input, since these strategies could impact drug store operations, the association noted.
"NACDS and the chain pharmacy industry are committed to partnering with policymakers and the supply chain stakeholders on viable effective strategies to enhance the safety and security of the U.S. prescription drug distribution supply chain," NACDS stated in the testimony. "Our members have invested significant resources and efforts towards this goal, including changes in purchasing practices and actively supporting state legislation that strengthened the supply chain integrity. Nothing is more important to our industry than the health and safety of our patients."
Chain pharmacy has supported the development of state-level chain of custody "pedigrees" for medicines distributed outside normal distribution channels, which have demonstrated improvements in supply chain security, according to NACDS. Still, the association pointed out that premature drug "track and trace" models could unnecessarily boost health care costs and impose burdensome technologies to little or no effect in enhancing supply chain security.
"As lawmakers, we urge you to consider approaches that are feasible and workable for the supply chain and to recognize the importance of not requiring untested costly mandates such as a prescription drug 'track and trace' system for supply chain stakeholders," NACDS' testimony said. "Such requirements would add billions in additional costs to the health care system and take time and resources away from pharmacies' ability to provide pharmacy services to their patients."
Reflecting its commitment to drug safety, NACDS noted that it supports many of the Pharmaceutical Distribution Security Alliance's policy recommendations, including the adoption of uniform federal wholesale drug distributor licensing requirements to spur consistency in regulations nationwide and prevent "bad actors" from avoiding stringent laws by crossing state lines. The association said it also supports the PDSA proposal to implement lot-level tracing and is providing recommended edits to the alliance's policy discussion draft to address various concerns.
Also, NACDS said it supports the development of a registry of safe online pharmacies to help consumers identify legitimate pharmacy websites and the FDA's development of a "one document solution" to replace the multiple drug information inserts.

great flavor, but a little strong.
I used this to win a bacon cookoff. I made a smoked slider with homemade brown sugar BBQ sauce.
Slice your own bacon extra-thick, extra-thin or anywhere in between with Nueske's Slab Bacon. This is the same premium-quality bacon as Nueske's sliced varieties, but you can slice it to meet your (and your family's) exact preference. Nueske's bacon is made from the leanest pork available and shrinks a fraction as much as typical supermarket bacon. Slowly smoked over Wisconsin Applewood embers for a full 24 hours for superior flavor. Choose from 3 pounds or 6 pounds, conveniently portioned in 1-1/2 pound slabs.
Nueske products usually deliver 2-3 business days from ship date with STANDARD SHIPPING. No need to request Expedited shipping. Please note: Orders ship Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday only.

The point of this thread has gone over a few people's heads. GD lacks reading comprehension.
The new change basically makes trolls more successful. And once the game actually starts, it'll be even ****tier.
TB Wolf
Senior Member
I fully agree with the original post. I've started threads before about my main problem with ranked and climbing elo is champion select. 1) It's not covered by the tribunal 2) Before this patch, the only option a player had was to dodge, lose elo, and then wait for a new game where hopefully this was not repeated. 3) There is no kind reporting system(like tribunal) but even something more casual, like a simple voting system, where players know they are dealing with immature/raging/trolling/etc players and can vote in the champion select to report the player, or just to be re-que'd without that player, or anything simple like that. The situation really bugs me because LoL tries to come across as a competitive game but the elo system is still so lackluster it is unbelievable. I've had people that will troll in champion select, ignore/mute the entire team in game, and then rage at like 200 WpM in the score screen, Kind of rambling cause its 7am and I haven't slept yet, but does anyone else experience this all the time?
Did Riot say how long the dodge would take in ranked? Is it like a normal 3-5 min dodge wait?
I've heard its half an hour for the first dodge anyway in the PBE
Wow that's ridiculous if accurate. This patch seems like a step in the direction but with how long the game has been out it seems like a crappy band aid then a fix. I've gotten to the point in some champion selects where I wish there was a mute function, how sad is that lol. What can you do, free games tend to attract bad communities, and most of the community knows or learns quickly that if you want to screw over your team or chew them out, the most likely place it is going to happen is in champion select or score screen now.

Tuesday, December 4, 2012
Westminster College was represented by five students who participated in the 73nd annual William Lowell Putnam Mathematical Competition on Saturday, December 1, 2012. This year's Westminster's participants included mathematics majors Gregory Clark, Bethany Ekimoff, and Emily Walther.
The competition was sponsored by the Mathematics and Computer Science Department and was proctored by Dr. Natacha Fontes-Merz, Associate Professor of Mathematics. Participants enjoyed lunch at the Rachel's Roadhouse; the lunch punctuated the morning and afternoon sessions.
The Putnam Exam is a challenging individual mathematical exam which is taken by thousands of undergraduate students specializing in mathematics in the U.S. and Canada on the first Saturday in December each year. Noted for its rigor, the exam's median score is usually one or two points out of 120 possible; there have even been years when the median score was zero nationally. The five highest ranking individuals are designated Putnam Fellows by the Mathematical Association of America.
Putnam Exam participants attempt to solve twelve problems, which can typically be solved with only basic knowledge of college mathematics but which require extensive creative thinking. Each of the twelve questions is worth ten points, and the most frequent scores above zero are ten points for a complete solution, nine points for a nearly complete solution, and one point for the beginnings of a solution. In earlier years, the twelve questions were worth one point each, with absolutely no partial credit given.

Choose Charity Shops
Choose Charity Shops: 14th to 19th May 2012
Choose Charity Shops is a nationwide campaign, which launched on the 14th May 2012, to encourage more people to donate directly to charity shops. Charity shops thrive on donations, but their number one concern at the moment is not having enough second-hand items to sell. We know that most people have items they aren't using in their homes and that the majority of people have at least one bag of unused clothing in their wardrobes. These items could be put to use by charity shops – adding to the £200 million of annual income they already generate for a huge range of charitable causes.
Successes of the Campaign
We had almost 6,000 shops participating, putting up posters in stores for one big-branded push, and some running events as well. At least 70 MPs making donations to the shops of their choice - including Nick Clegg, Eric Pickles, Ed Vaizey (pictured below), Harriet Harman and Theresa May - along with various other comics and TV personalities. We made it to the national news, with coverage in print - in publications like The Sun and the Daily Telegraph - as well as online outlets such as the BBC, the FT and The Guardian. Head of Press Wendy Mitchell and CEO Warren Alexander were kept extremely busy, with a series of radio and TV interviews and shop visits, for the BBC, Sky and Reuters. Having the campaign underpinned by regionally-specific research on shopping and donation habits definitely helped generate more media interest, and the success of charity-shops during a period of Recession proved a very zeitgeisty story. Anecdotally, we have been told of shops whose stock levels did rise as a result of the campaign, which is really great news. We want it to be automatic for charity shops to be the recipients of sale-able goods which are no longer wanted or needed by a household, and that the public take them directly into a shop, during opening hours.
Who participated?
Over half the charity shops in the UK participated in Choose Charity Shops, including: Oxfam, Cancer Research UK, British Heart Foundation, Marie Curie Cancer Care, Sue Ryder, YMCA, Shelter and British Red Cross. There were also a whole host of smaller and medium-sized shop chains involved, including those run by local hospices and other regional charities. You can find a full list of our members on our website at this link.
What can I do now?
Though the launch week has ended, charity shops remain keen to get in your donations. You can locate your nearest charity shop by searching in the Find A Shop box, on the top right of the screen.
Please also 'like' us on Facebook, and Twitter about us using the hashtag #choosecharityshops.
If you work for a charity shop, it would be great for us to know if you got a rise in stock during and immediately after the campaign week. We've never tried this kind of campaign before on this scale, and it would really help us to measure whether it is successful in generating extra stock.
Where can I find out more?
We have lots more information on the rest of the website, from latest news and supporter charities to the MPs who made donations in the campaign week. We have linked to news coverage as it comes in, as well.

In March, the Food and Drug Administration plans to deploy a single, shared Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy (REMS) for the transmucosal immediate-release fentanyl (TIRF) products.
Retail News Breaks Archives
SILVER SPRING, Md. – In March, the Food and Drug Administration plans to deploy a single, shared Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy (REMS) for the transmucosal immediate-release fentanyl (TIRF) products.
The FDA said the new shared system, called the TIRF REMS Access Program, will replace the individual REMS and enable prescribers and pharmacies to enroll into just one system, easing the burden on the health care system.
TIRF medicines are narcotic drugs for managing pain in adults with cancer who routinely take other opioid pain medicines around-the-clock. Brand names of TIRF medications include Abstral, Actiq, Fentora, Lazanda and Onsolis.
According to the FDA, the TIRF REMS Access Program, which was approved late last week, will be used by all sponsors of TIRF products. Until its launch in March, prescribers, patients and pharmacies should continue to enroll in the individual REMS programs, the agency said.
Several TIRF products already have an individual REMS in place. Prescribers and pharmacies enrolled in an individual REMS program for at least one TIRF medicine will automatically be transitioned to the shared TIRF REMS Access Program, the FDA said. Health care professionals who prescribe TIRF medicines that will only be used in an inpatient setting (hospitals, hospice, or long-term care facilities) won't be required to enroll in the program, nor will patients in those settings. Long-term care and hospice patients who get their medications from outpatient pharmacies must still be enrolled.
"This TIRF REMS will ensure safe use and access to these drugs for patients who need them," Janet Woodcock, director of the FDA's Center for Drug Evaluation and Research, said in a statement. "We have worked with the sponsors of both the innovator and generic drugs to develop this single, shared system that will streamline the process and decrease the burden of the REMS on the health care system."
The goals of the TIRF REMS Access Program, the FDA said, are to ensure patient access to important medications and reduce the risk of misuse, abuse, addiction, overdose and serious complications due to medication errors by prescribing and dispensing TIRF medicines only to appropriate patients, including use only in opioid-tolerant patients; preventing inappropriate conversion between fentanyl products; preventing accidental exposure to children and others for whom TIRF medicines weren't prescribed; educating prescribers, pharmacists and patients about the potential for misuse, abuse, addiction and overdose.
Makers of TIRF products applauded the FDA's approval of the single REMS program.
"ProStrakan is thrilled to see our hard work and the work of the industry working group culminate in this approval. We are fully committed to patient safety and pleased to help the FDA achieve its goal of assuring appropriate use of pain medications," stated Anthony Oladipo, vice president and global head of drug safety and risk management at ProStrakan Inc., whose Abstral rapidly-disintegrating tablet for breakthrough cancer pain gained FDA approval last January.
"Abstral provides a simple, patient-friendly and efficacious treatment option for cancer patients with breakthrough pain, which can be incapacitating, limiting patients' ability to participate in daily activities," commented John Higgins, general manager at ProStrakan. "Now all TIRF products will be administered equally through a single REMS, making the process simpler for prescribers, patients, pharmacists and distributors."
BioDelivery Sciences International (BDSI) noted that the single TIRF REMS program ends the disparity in prescribing requirements for its product Onsolis (fentanyl buccal soluble film), commercialized in the U.S. by Meda Pharmaceuticals, versus other similar products.
"BDSI was the first company required by the FDA to have a REMS program for a transmucosal fentanyl product. Unfortunately, companies with similar products being marketed prior to the approval of Onsolis were not all held to the same standard. This resulted in a significant commercial disadvantage for Onsolis given the requirements of the REMS and the associated additional steps required by healthcare providers and their patients," stated Mark Sirgo, president and chief executive officer of BDSI.
"We are very pleased to see the approval of a classwide REMS program, which we believe will not only mean a level competitive environment but also the potential for expanded access to Onsolis through availability in retail pharmacies," Sirgo added. "With the implementation of a classwide REMS program late in the first quarter of 2012 by Meda Pharmaceuticals, Onsolis can finally compete on its own merits."

Child's Play
Isn't it funny how adults need a good excuse for going to the zoo? Usually, we take advantage of children they're the most reliable pretext but lots of groups just wait until it's time for another Do at the Zoo to spy on naked polar bears and swim with the fishes in Tropical Discovery. This year's Do, with its "Jammin' in the Jungle" theme, includes a big welcome from honorary hostesses Mimi and Dolly, the zoo's Asian elephants, who will paint pictures for an auction and boost their proposed Asian Tropics exhibit and elephant digs, which the event benefits.
Go forth and be a kid again: Three separate areas featuring food, music and drink will be open for your enjoyment throughout the zoo grounds, 2300 Steele Street, tonight from 6:30 to 10:30 p.m.; for tickets, $100 to $275, call 303-376-4860 or go to www.denverzoo.org/doatthezoo.
Thu., June 21, 6:30-10:30 p.m.

Official- Extreme Flight 60" Extra 300 EXP Build thread
This has been a great season for me. It started with a trip to EF headquarters in early March. Where I was Lucky enough to Hang out With Chris, and fly the preproduction version of the 60" Edge EXP. Followed by a Trip to SEFF! Where I flew,with Donatas Pauzuolis, Lee Morey, and Daniel Holman! Then a few weeks ago, Chris asked me to setup the Official, Extreme Flight 60" Extra EXP Build Thread..To top it all off.. Thanks to Extreme Flight's EXP's, my flying has never looked better! After the success of the 60" Edge EXP, we are all anxiously awaiting the arrival of the new 60" Extra EXP. What Daniel Holman has to say about the 60" Extra EXP: "The 48" Extra EXP is my favorite of all those and as soon as Chris told me that he was working on a 60, I was stoked! After flying it at SEFF I was speechless! It flies precision better than any other electric plane that I've flown in that size and 3D is insane as well. It will out tumble the Edge and rolls are perfectly axial. No KE coupling and it is rock solid no matter what you do! All that coupled with what has been my all time favorite scheme for a long time, it's going to be amazing! -Can't wait!" Daniel Holman Extreme flight Offers a discount if you purchase the Combo Kit.

Thats why he offers a deep discount on combo packages. No one gives a better package deal. When you see the quality of the parts, you have to be impressed. The ARF kit includes: Carbon and composite reinforced fuselage and landing gear mount. Carbon fiber landing gear, tail wheel assembly, and wing tube.

Jerry DeWitt, entomology professor at Iowa State University (ISU), received the Spencer Award for Sustainable Agriculture on November 14, 2005, at the 2005 Iowa Organic Conference in Ames, IA. The Spencer Award, administered by the Leopold Center for Sustainable Agriculture, is awarded annually and recognizes farmers, researchers, and educators who have made a significant contribution toward the stability of mainstream family farms in Iowa. Dewitt is the fourth recipient of the award and the first non-farmer to be honored.
An entomologist by training, DeWitt has been employed by ISU Extension for 33 years, about half that time as an administrator. In 1995, at the request of a group of organic farmers, he organized a meeting with ISU College of Agriculture administrators that led to the hiring of two ISU faculty dedicated to research in organic agriculture, the first at a land-grant university. He also has worked with ISU Extension's Integrated Pest Management program and helped develop their Integrated Crop Management program that includes all aspects of cropping systems, not just pests. He has been interim national program leader for sustainable agriculture at NIFA three times in the last 10 years, and he has worked on special outreach projects for the agency. He now coordinates ISU Extension's sustainable agriculture activities. In addition, DeWitt was a member of the Leopold Center's advisory board from the Center's founding in 1987 through 1997.
DeWitt is an accomplished photographer and his picture-taking travels have led him to Iowa farms as well as farms nationally and internationally. His photographs have been published in two books: People Sustaining the Land (Vagnetti and DeWitt, 2002) and Renewing the Countryside-Iowa, a 2003 project supported by the Leopold Center.
The Spencer Award for Sustainable Agriculture has been presented since 2002. The award is named for Norman A. and Margaretha Spencer who farmed near Sioux City for 40 years and includes $1,000 from the Spencer family. The Leopold Center's advisory board and past recipients select each year's honoree from submitted nominations.

I used this for a long time (almost a year) and I liked the finish. It also kept me from getting tan. But then I found out that it has a poor UVA protection (titanium dioxide is a UVB filter primarily). And most skin damage is caused by UVA rays. So I do not use the prodct any more, and I will not repurchase it.
I like this pretty well but not as much as the Good Skin All Calm sunscreen. Super City Block is slightly thick and a little hard to spread. I do like the tint and the all-physical sunscreens in it, but if I try to put foundation over it, that often looks to heavy. I think it's better if you want to just wear it as a tinted sunscreen with maybe some powder on top.
THIS SUNBLOCK IS HORRID! First of all its creamy, oily, u would think moisturizing, but then this stuff goes on and if u have dry patches of skin it would flake and dry u out! Leaves a chalky residue! If your skin is dry forget it, and those w/ oily skins or spots might find it greasy! Yucky stuff!
This sunscreen is supposed to help against UVA and UVB. The color is a bit beige. I have light colored skin so it doesn't really make my face any lighter or darker. When first applied, it does feel pretty heavy and thick. I have to even it out on my face so it won't be concentrated on one area. I bought this sunscreen because of the high SPF and because it's at a reasonable price: $15.50. If you want a sunscreen that's at a pretty low price then go for it.
I really wanted to like this but I don't. I have tried it several times and everytime it causes me to break out. It feels really heavy on and I feel dirty the whole time I am wearing it. I guess my skin just doens't like physical sunscreens.
I really like this so far! It has a nice matte finish on my combo to oily skin that doesn't leave a white cast, thanks to the light tint. And it doesn't turn me greasy during the day either or cause breakouts!!! The smell is a little sunscreenish, but hey, I'll take that instead of nasty zits. As for the protection, it covers UVA but not UVB rays, but I have more intense sunscreen for that when I go to the beach, and I can always reapply this as needed. Plus my mineral makeup adds another SPF of 17.
this is a sheer block,it's little greasy for oily skin,and it dosen't correct my skin tone.i'll kept looking for a better block!
Fantastic product. Very efficient as a sun-block (have used this in really fierce conditions!)but also works as a daily face protector during the summer: the tint prevents it from looking chalky, and it has enough pigment to even out the complexion nicely, at least if you're pale. I also find it works surprisingly well as a makeup base, although best if you use powder over the top. Definitely a summer staple.
UPDATE: I take it back: this may work in the South African winter but it can't handle the Paris summer. I used it (generously) over a (very sunny) long weekend and my skin is now noticeably pigmented (freckles etc) and very dehydrated. Given that it is SPF 25, and I wasn't in the sun that much, AND I wore a hat, that seems pretty poor. I didn't wear any suncream on my arms, and they are only slightly darker than my face. And it was a new tube. Bottom line: avoid. I'm going to switch immediately before I age any further. Only hope I haven't suffered too much skin damage in the two years I've been using this.
Ok this is my staple s/s. I've used it for years on my dry/sensitive skin. I love the creamy texture which on me dries to a matte finish. In the summer I'm alittle oily in the T zone and this sunblock doesnt seem to make my face any oilier. No breakouts, reasonably priced, only caveat is that although it's stable,it's not a very broad spectrum s/s. Wish it had better protection! C'mon Clinique -, oops, I mean Lauder, get with the program!!

One of the things I loved about my mother was her youthfulness. Even in her 80's she preferred to be around younger people and would joke around and often break out with a case of uncontrollable giggles.... Please hold that thought a moment.
- Godly younger women keep me current. The last thing I want is to become one of those old ladies who bores everyone to tears with rehashed stories of my past. (I hope my kids aren't reading this). Yes, God was faithful then, but He's working TODAY and I want to know about it!
- Godly younger women humble me. Now that I'm way beyond "The Mommy Wars" I can observe young moms without prejudice and competitiveness. I am amazed at how well this generation of Christian mommies are bringing up their children in the fear and admonition of the Lord. I know they have their frustrations and struggles like I did but I so admire their doctrinal depth and the practical applications of it in their homes. This diligence is very humbling to me as I ponder how my family might have benefited had I been able to follow their example.
- Godly younger women challenge me. When young Christian women are in interested in the Word of God I really have to be on my toes! I have a luxury I've never had before in that I have lots of quiet time to pray and study and now is not the time for me to be lazy – these women are hungry for truth and I need to keep my focus on Christ and the Scriptures not only for my sake but for theirs as well.
- Godly younger women encourage me to watch my speech. I am reminded that I will give account for every careless and ungracious word spoken and it is the younger women who inspire me the most to remember this.
- Godly younger women have taught me to listen. It's been said, "The first duty of love is to listen." I have learned so much by listening to the younger women in my life whether it be through the written or spoken word. Anyone who knows me personally, knows that I can be a real chatterbox and many of my elementary school report cards attest to that fact. When I first started blogging I would leave "comments" nearly as long as the post. Oye. By example, my patient younger friends have taught me to (try and) put a lid on it.
- And last but not least:
- Godly younger women have taught me that I am not above correction. I am thankful for the reproof and correction (even though it stings my pride) by those women in my life who truly love me.
