Girls Tennis: Lyons' Alex Chatt earns No 2 seed for state tourament
Lyons sophomore Kristen Thoms returns a volley during the tennis sectional semifinals at Lyons Township High School South Campus in Western Springs on Saturday, Oct. 13, 2012. | Ryan Pagelow~Sun-Times MediaUpdated: October 16, 2012 7:00PM
Alysa Straub and Alexia Petrovic are following the same script as a year ago, but their opponents may not be joining in.
The Nazareth girls doubles finished second in last year's state tennis meet after spending much of the season as singles players.
Straub, a senior, and Petrovic, a junior, again this year played singles before the postseason.
On Saturday, Straub and Petrovic lost in the Lyons sectional semifinals, but qualified for their third state meet together after finishing third at the sectional with a 6-2, 6-2 victory over Hinsdale South seniors Emma Adcock and Andrea Wakim at Score Tennis and Fitness Center in Countryside.
Entering this year's state meet, which begins Thursday, Straub and Petrovic are 6-1 as a tandem. They open the tournament at Buffalo Grove against Springfield Sacred Heart-Griffin's Gina Santarelli and Isabel Cross.
"We've only played a few matches (together)," Petrovic said. "We're pretty much back into our regular mode again."
Judging by the talent at the Lyons sectional, state doubles qualifiers again will have to look out for the Nazareth duo.
"I don't think we played our best," Straub said of the sectional.
"I'm excited (about state)," Petrovic said. "It's a good experience. We have a good support system. I look forward to it. When you're always at state, there is also a lot of pressure."
In last year's Hinsdale Central sectional, Straub and Petrovic lost in the final to Hinsdale Central's Marika Cusick and Caroline Lorenzini, 6-1, 6-2. Cusick and Lorenzini then beat the Nazareth team again, 6-3, 5-7, 6-4, to win their second consecutive state doubles title.
Adock and Wakim will compete in their first state meet together after Adcock went to state two previous times with since-graduated Kim Warpecha. Adock also is one-half of the defending state badminton champion doubles.
The Hornets pair was unseeded in the sectional, but advanced to state with a 6-0, 6-2 quarterfinal win over fourth-seeded Megan Hickey and Stefana Vasic from Lyons.
"At the beginning of the week, we both thought we had no chance," Wakim said.
Adcock and Wakim open at Hersey against Jamie Noonan and Marybeth Galick of Providence.
Defending state runner-up Alex Chatt of Lyons rebounded from her only loss in the regular season to beat Hinsdale Central's Alex Solovyev, 4-6, 6-4, 7-6. Chatt, a junior and Kristen Thoms, a sophomore, both advanced to state.
Chatt received the state meet's No. 2 seed behind Glenbrook South's Caroline Ryba. Chatt opens the state meet at Hoffman Estates against York's Annie Rivera.
Thoms beat Hinsdale Central's Sophia Haleas 6-3, 6-4 for third place at the sectional. Thoms' opener is at Schaumburg against Edwardsville's Mallory Abert.
"I definitely feel a lot better after the sectional," Chatt said. "It was a struggle, but I am happy I chose to play singles. I'm excited to go on to the state meet. It's a fun tournament to play."

Concierge.com's insider take:
Noyers is a remarkably handsome, thoroughly restored medieval fortress town on the Serein River about 13 miles south of Chablis. Artists and artisans d'art have opened a dozen galleries in and around town, and there's a museum of local history and naïf art—both the galleries and the museum are cute and charming but ultimately skippable. The town's real draw is its atmosphere and architecture: Half-timbered houses line the cobbled streets, and sections of the city walls and a city gate still stand. There are bakeries, cafés, and restaurants, but if you can, visit on a Wednesday morning to browse the regional food market that sets up on the main square (arrive around 9:30 am, when all the vendors are open). Plan to spend at least an hour or two exploring Noyers.—David Downie

Foul Weather Gear--can I use [gasp] Civilian / Lands End stuff?

Thanks Geary126... But, I'd still go with the better quality marine gear. The harness integration can be nice when it is really blowing like stink—as keeping your people on the boat beats trying to do a COB rescue in heavy weather.
Also, the non-marine foul weather gear is often colors I'd not recommend for marine use. Blues, blacks, greens are all fine for non-marine use, but have you ever tried to spot someone who fell overboard in the rain, when they're wearing a coat that blends into the water??? And with out the retroreflective patches, early or late in the day, or in bad weather, you don't even have a chance at finding them. Red, orange, chartreuse or yellow are really the way to go. Pink is also good, but not something most guys would be caught dead in.
The double cuffs and high collar are really nice. Earlier this spring, I was out daysailing on an Olsen 25 on a day that was blowing 20-25 with gusts to 30, and we were having a blast. But if I didn't have the high collar and the double cuffs, I would have been pretty wet, and probably pretty miserable... instead, I was dry, and having a blast.
One of the other people on the boat was in "consumer" foul weather gear, and she was pretty much soaked after the first two or three waves broke into the cockpit. She spent much of the afternoon huddled in the cabin with my spare polarfleece on. All I needed to stay warm was a t-shirt, since I was dry.
I always looked at my foul weather gear, like my ski gear, as a long term investment.
A high quality foul weather coat, like my Musto MPX, is about two-to-three times the price of a cheap one, but it will perform better, leave me more comfortable and last much longer.
I would probably go through two or three sets of cheaper, less well-made gear in the time it takes me to wear out my Musto.
I have one ski jacket that is over 14 years old.... it was expensive at the time...but over the 14 years I've had it...it's less than $20 a year. For children, it probably doesn't make sense to go with the really good stuff, as they're going to out grow it long before they wear it out, but for adults, it really isn't that bad an idea to go high-end.
BTW, West Marine has a new line of foul weather gear that seems to be pretty reasonable priced and fairly good quality.

You know what the first rule of sailing is? ...Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take
a boat to the sea you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps
her going when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurting 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.

Joey Healy Brow Renovation Serum Reviews
Great Brow Serum!
I am actually fairly surprised there aren't more reviews for this product. I live in NYC so I have the luxury of going straight to Joey's studio to pick up this serum. Honestly, my eyebrows weren't thin before I started using this serum, but I definitely wanted them thicker. I use it once in the morning and once at night and one of the best things about this product (aside from its ability to aid ...read morehair growth) is that it never makes my brows crunchy! That is one of my absolute pet peeves when it comes to product in general. It's really weightless when you apply it and you can fill your brows afterwards - no problem. I will say that the key to this product is diligence. When I first purchased it, I would use it maybe once a day or even just a few times a week, and surprise surprise - nothing happened. I was going to give up, but after talking to a friend who swore she saw results, I tried again but this time making it a part of my daily routine. The growth didn't happen over night for me. I would say after 3 or 4 weeks, my brows were noticeably thicker. After about 6 weeks, I felt more than comfortable going out with out filling in my brows (I still do, but it's nice to feel like I don't have to). I highly recommend this product, but you do have to be patient and diligent. I would imagine that is the case with most products though, assuming they work. — 1 year, 5 months agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 24 of 25 people said helpful

So how did the Denver Nuggets allow just 84 points and lose?
Posted By Benjamin Hochman On November 1, 2012 @ 11:27 am In General Nuggets | 6 Comments
ORLANDO – Hello from O-Town, which was, incidentally, my third-favorite late-90s boy band (sorry 98 Degrees, you didn't medal). The Nuggets play here Friday night, but I still want to talk about Wednesday night's debacle [1] in Liberty Town.
So Denver played some pretty good defense and allowed a home team to score just 84 points. But the Nuggets could only muster 75 points against Philadelphia. I'm breaking down the shot chart here. This'll make your stomach churn: in the first half, Denver attempted 25 shots from inside the paint. And made seven. SEVEN!
In the second half, the Nuggets were 9-for-20 from inside the paint. And so, for the night, your Denver Nuggets were 16-for-45 on shots in the paint. That's 35.5 percent. From inside the paint. Like, near the basket.
There were other reasons for the loss:
** The Nuggets had 19 assists and 22 turnovers.
** In the first half, Ty Lawson was 1-for-5 with three points.
** Denver finished 4-for-18 from 3 and 5-for 11 from the foul line.
But now we will look ahead to the next game, here in O-Town. I'm off to practice, and I'll have an online update later today, notably about Danilo Gallinari's left ankle.

So far this weekend has kinda sad, depressing, happy overal and emotional roller coaster ride.
My mom's friend/family friend K had a baby on friday. The baby was healthy and so was mommy.... or soo we thought. K was high risk because after her first child she had gastro or something like that (cuz she was really over weight) and so she had the baby by cecarian. Well on friday night she took a turn for the worse and shit happened and she almost died. Right now she's in ICU and last night she called another one of our family friends and was like "I'm not dead yet". But she could still go back down hill. It's just scary and sad to think we could lose her, especially when she has a new born baby.
We right now im thinking good thoughts because she is doing better then friday night so that is good and i know she's strong.

I am voting yes on March 8 after attending several information sessions regarding the Green Municipal Fund financing opportunity.
I'm voting yes because I now understand how this funding option benefits both present and future taxpayers.
I suspect that many who will vote yes will be doing so from an informed position, and my hope is that any of those who may still vote no can at least claim the same.
Mrs. and Mr. Pap (letter of Feb. 28), you sound as though your vote is being cast based on your own myopic opinion, not facts or information. You say this council "failed to act responsibly both fiscally and morally." However, this statement is, in my opinion, completely proven false specifically with the new funding opportunity being presented, as it is both fiscally and morally a better funding option.
Mr. Pruden and Mr. Goudie (letter of Feb. 28), you are absolutely correct that there is no 'need' for the $7.4 million loan, as the project will be completed without such funding; however, your position is like equating not needing a bridge over a river simply because we can all swim. No, the $7.4 million loan is not 'needed' in that it is not the only option; however, it is a better option than what was available initially. As for your concern that this option "will handcuff the next mayor and council," I believe it will do just the opposite by leaving a larger portion of reserves untouched, as the new financing costs can be serviced by the existing user fees, and more so as new users are added to the system.
This funding option, although not the only option, helps sustain a long-term vision and is a sound reason to vote yes.

Art Basel's Best Bets: Ten Unmissable Shows This Week
With more than 50,000 international visitors pouring into the Big Mango for the Art Basel blitz, our cultural calendar has hit critical mass. Everywhere across the 305 the top shelf swill is flowing, B-listers are rubbing elbows with Euro-trash; people you haven't seen since middle school are contacting you to see if you can score them tix to a VIP Vernissage. via @futureclaw Banksy's Stop and Search is on view at CONTEXT Art Miami.
Art Basel turns our already dysfunctional town into a Babylonian echo chamber. But despite plenty of claims to the contrary, you will find many exhibits at the fairs and in local galleries and museums worth visiting -- even if it means enduring (or, in the best case scenario, embracing) the chaos.
Our top ten picks include a visit to ABMB's free public outdoor sculpture park and nighttime video projections, satellite fairs both new and old, a pop-up gun store and more. Here's what not to miss this weekend.

Held at the Miami Beach Convention Center, ABMB, now in its 11th edition, features 260 top-shelf galleries from countries representing North and Latin America, Europe, Africa and Asia, which will exhibit 20th- and 21st-century artworks by more than 2,000 artists. In the Art Positions area, 16 upstart galleries each feature a major installation created by one artist. Look for Miami's own Spinello Projects, where Agustina Woodgate's Basel debut, New Landscapes, includes filed-down world maps reshaped into surreal displays. Special sections will also feature performance art, video art, public projects.
December 6-9 at various Miami locations. Visit artbasel.com.
ABMB Art Public
Basel's sculpture park at Collins Park was organized for the second consecutive year by Christine Y. Kim, a curator at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art. Her lineup corrals works that explore language and speech. Crane your head skyward at 11:45 each morning to see Dave McKenzie's Declaration -- a plane flying a banner offering artistic marriage proposals.
After catching Pierre Ardouvin's melting-snowman sculptures, titled Bonhomme de Neige, amble over to Basel's oceanfront installation between 20th and 21st streets, where Cuban collective Los Carpinteros whips up frosty cocktails inside Guiro. Open from 5 p.m. to midnight every evening through December 8, the bar takes the form of a traditional Caribbean percussion instrument made from a gourd. Visitors enjoy a curated program of live music and performances by Mallorcan composer Joan Valent along with their beverages.

ABMB Art Video
Bring a lawn chair or a blanket to SoundScape Park to watch video works on the 7,000-square-foot outdoor projection wall of the Frank Gehry-designed New World Center. ABMB's Art Video Nights will spool 60 video and film works by top contemporary names, including Julieta Aranda, Daniel Arsham, Theaster Gates, and Robin Rhode.
December 8 and 9 from 6 p.m. Admission is free.

This week, Liz Strauss shared this little video on her blog about focusing on the opportunity rather than the job. Yes, there is a difference.
The distinction here is an important one. So often people are so focused on what they feel like is the greatest need at this precise moment — often, that's simply an income. By stepping back and taking your efforts as a long-term play, opportunities may become available that you can't see on the surface.
Here's a key: you have to give yourself permission to explore the options. I talk a lot about the importance of focus, but there's a difference between keeping your goals in front of you and putting the blinders on. Keep an eye on not only the obvious path ahead of you, but also the less visible byways to either side. They may all lead you to where you want to go. Wouldn't it be neat if that path you considered the scenic route was actually the shortcut?
Remember: it's good to have a plan. It's also alright to change it.
Have you ever taken the scenic route? How did it turn out?

Axis Expansion Announced
Because the health and safety of our patients and employees is very important to us, we at Axis Community Health have been closely monitoring the events surrounding the Ebola Virus Disease (EVD). As part of the nationwide response to this outbreak, we are following the recommendations from the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and the Alameda County Public Health Department to ensure we meet standards for early detection.
Although the risk of being infected with EVD is very low, Axis has established protocols and a screening process for patients who may have been exposed to EVD.
The early symptoms for EVD are very similar to the flu, but the appearance of flu-like symptoms alone does not mean a person has Ebola. These symptoms need to accompany either: (1) recent travel to an area known to have an Ebola outbreak; or, (2) close contact with a person suspected or known to have contracted the Ebola virus.
For more information on the EVD, please visit:
Please be sure to call us at (925) 462-1755 before coming to Axis if you feel that you have been exposed to EVD. This will help protect our patients and the community we serve. As always, if you are experiencing an emergency, please call 911.

New York Charges Forward: Frito-Lay Increases Fleet Of All-Electric Delivery Trucks And Rolls Out Enhanced Charging Stations In The State
PLANO, Texas, Sept. 12, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- PepsiCo's
Frito-Lay North America division, already a leader in the use of all-electric delivery trucks, is adding 20 electric vehicles to its fleet in upstate
New York, along with 20 innovative and enhanced electric vehicle charging stations.
Representatives from Frito-Lay were joined today by New York State Senator Kathy Marchione and Janet Joseph, vice president for technology and strategic planning at the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA), to announce the news at a celebratory event at the Frito-Lay Clifton Park Distribution Center.
Once the new all-electric trucks are deployed, New York will be home to 35 Frito-Lay all-electric trucks, the company's second largest deployment in any state.
Additionally, the new highly automated charging stations will help optimize the future of electric vehicles. Frito-Lay is the first commercial test subject for these charging stations, which will not only improve how the Frito-Lay fleet is utilized, but also relay important information to the state for a better understanding of electric fleets.
The new all-electric trucks will operate from distribution centers located throughout New York, including in Albany, Buffalo, Rochester and New Paltz. These distribution centers will also have the advanced charging stations. "The introduction of these enhanced charging stations is a significant step forward for the Frito-Lay fleet as we continue on our sustainability journey," noted Mike O'Connell, senior director of fleet operations for Frito-Lay North America. "Not only will the stations benefit our operations in real-time, they also allow the state of New York to gain a better understanding of the vehicles, providing the critical information needed for the state to continue to invest in this alternative vehicle technology." To support the introduction of charging stations, Frito-Lay received funding through Governor Andrew M. Cuomo's Charge NY initiative, which seeks to grow electric vehicle use in the state by helping to create a statewide charging station infrastructure. Last month, Governor Cuomo launched the New York Truck Voucher Incentive Program (VIP), which offsets the increased cost of investing in electric and other alternative-fueled vehicles. The program is expected to increase fleet investment in electric trucks around the state. Companies like Frito-Lay recognize the value and are supportive of the VIP program.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

In all my years in Boston, I never heard of the Polish Triangle until I began research for this post. I heard about a Polish restaurant, Café Polonia, but never made it out to South Boston to give it a shot. I decided this weekend would be a pretty good time to give it a try, so I did a bit of online snooping, and while looking Polonia, I found several polish businesses and the Polish-American Citizens Club.
With a bit more research, I found out Boston has an active Polish community in the aptly-named Polish Triangle, a small neighborhood straddling Dorchester and South Boston bound by Dorchester Avenue, Boston Street and Columbia Road. It's a neighborhood I drove by hundreds of times, never knowing much about it.
One of the reasons waited so long to get to Café Polonia is because I gave up driving. I take the T, and the Red Line isn't all that convenient for me; however, once I get to the Andrew or Columbia/JFK stations, the neighborhood isn't far.
Be sure to notice the size of these condos; none of them break $300 per square foot. One barely breaks $200 per square foot

This house is on the opposite side of one of the border streets, so depending how the neighborhood is defined, it may or may not be part of the Polish Triangle.

Kabongo, Drew Among Those On Heat Summer Roster
Posted By Jazmyne Hankerson On July 2, 2013 @ 3:09 PM In NBA | No Comments
MIAMI (AP) — Former Texas guard Myck Kabongo and the son of Milwaukee Bucks coach Larry Drew are among those on Miami's roster for the Orlando and Las Vegas summer leagues.
Kabongo averaged 14.6 points in 11 games this past season for Texas. Larry Drew II averaged 5.5 points in his four-year career at North Carolina and UCLA.
Some other names on the Miami summer roster include Heat reserve Jarvis Varnado; James Ennis, the second-round pick acquired in a draft-night trade with Atlanta; and Ricky Sanchez, the Puerto Rican forward drafted as a 17-year-old by Portland in 2005 but still has not appeared in the NBA.
Dan Craig, an assistant on Erik Spoelstra's Miami staff, will coach the Heat summer teams.
The Orlando league opens Sunday, and Las Vegas starts July 12.

British swimming legend Sharron Davies, partnered by Pavel Aubrecht became the seventh star to be given the boot from this year's dancing On Ice.
The 6ft tall, 47 year-old was forced to skate for survival with partner Pavel after the public voted her in the bottom two of tonight's live show alongside actress Emily Atack.
But in the end she lost out as the ice panel judges voted a clean sweep 5-0 in favour of keeping the Inbetweeners star in the show.
Explaining her decision to axe Sharron, judge, former Spice Girl Emma Bunton commented: "For real determination and you made me smile I'm saving Emily."
Nicky Slater was next up. Backing Emily he said: "One of those performances would have looked fine on MTV and that's the one I'm going to save-which of course is Emily."
Explaining why she saved Emily guest judge Angela Rippon commented; "This isn't just skating on ice, this is dancing on ice."
Normally gobby Jason Gardiner had nothing to say bar Emily's name as he showed Sharron the exit door, as did head judge Karen Barber making the clean sweep was complete.
Sharron earlier stunned viewers and Ice Panel judges on tonight's live show by going ahead with a routine of her own choosing rather than that of show coaches and fellow Olympians Jayne Torvill and Christopher Dean.
She made the controversial decision, the first time a celeb has ever made their own change on the show after complaining she didn't like the music chosen for this week, 1982 hit I Want Candy by Bow Wow Wow. She changed it for a slower routine to Shakespeare's Sister hit Stay after maintaining that swimming injuries have restricted her ability to perform physically demanding routines..
Asked whether she'd enjoyed her time on the show by co-host Phillip Schofiled, injury plagued Sharron replied: "I have enjoyed my time here. First and foremost I had the best partner I could ever wish for who has just been fantastic.
"The atmosphere behind the stage is just amazing. So thank you very much for the experience. I will not be hanging up my skates.
"It's a great sport. It's a great way of keeping fit and it's been 15 years since I got my kit bag out so I really shouldn't put it away should I?"
Sharron has been no stranger to controversy during her time on the show and had run ins with judge Jason Gardiner.
Writing in The Sun newspaper this week he said he was keen to see her go. He said: "She is the next one I want to see leave. It's so painful to watch her. There is no redeeming quality in her performance."
Sharron narrowly avoided being axed in the very first live show when she managed to survive the skate off after a botched frog lift saw 80s pop star Sinitta become the first celeb to be booted out.
Jason backed the 6ft swimmer then but there has been no love lost between the pair ever since.
On a previous show the outspoken Aussie provoked a furore when he compared Davies's outfit last week to "faecal matter" that would not flush away. The outspoken Aussie was then forced to make a groveling public apology after there were calls for him to be sacked over the comments.
At the time swimming legend Sharron called him "vindictive" and "an attention seeker" and said:" "Even by his standards he has taken his role of pantomime villain too far and now just seems determined to shock."
Seven celebrities now remain to battle it out for glory and the chance to be crowned this year's D.O.I. champ.

Yesterday I took my new Kahr CW9 out for its first range session and started the break in. Put 100 rounds through it.
First, I was real impressed with how it shoots. I'm still getting use to the trigger. Feels more like a revolver trigger than semi-auto. The recoil feels a lot like a Glock 26 to me.
I took 50 rounds of Independence 115gr fmj and 50 rounds of Lawman 115gr fmj with me.
First box, the Independence went down range without a hitch.
The Lawman. I can't remember if it was the 1st and 2nd magazine, or the 2nd and 3rd magazine, but right at beginning of the box, I had two problems. Both times, the magazine dropped out during fire. The first time it happened, the round stove piped upon ejecting and the magazine fell out. The 2nd time was on the very next magazine (2nd or 3rd), rounds fed and ejected ok, however just the magazine fell out. What would cause this? The rest of that box went fine.
I bought 2 more boxes of Independence for the other half of the break in (200 round recommended by Kahr).
I found and ordered a 2nd magazine from Cheaper Than Dirt.
I'm looking forward to getting the 2nd 100 rounds through it.

Common complication in newborns, especially after premature birth. Symptoms include very laboured breathing, bluish skin tinge, and low blood oxygen levels. Insufficient surfactant in the pulmonary alveoli raises surface tension, hampering lung expansion. The alveoli collapse (see atelectasis), and a "glassy" (hyaline) membrane develops in the alveolar ducts. Once the leading cause of death in premature infants, the syndrome is now usually treated for a few days with a mechanical ventilator (see respiratory therapy), with no aftereffects. An adult respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) can follow lung injury.

In common medical histopathological usage, hyaline is a substance with a glassy, pink appearance after haematoxylin and eosin staining—most often an acellular, proteinaceous material. Hyaline cartilage is the clear, shiny ("glass-like") cartilage of articular joints.
In other scientific fields such as ichthyology and entomology, hyaline may refer to a specific type of colorless and transparent substance.

Donna Price Henry installed as eighth chancellor of UVa-Wise
By Kathy Still
Photos by Tim Cox
Donna Price Henry was formally installed Tuesday as the eighth chancellor of The University of Virginia's College at Wise in front of a large crowd of faculty, staff, students, alumni and friends.
"Thank you for your belief in our beloved College and your confidence in my ability to serve as your chancellor," Henry said in an address that often referenced the inauguration theme of 'Minds on opportunity. Hearts on service.' "You have my pledge to lead, to contribute, to create and to join you in making a difference at UVa-Wise."
Henry said she is often asked what surprised her the most about UVa-Wise and the region when she and her family arrived on campus a little over a year ago.
"There have been no surprises," she said. "UVa-Wise is who it purports to be, authentic to its core and a true part of the community."
The College has a deep commitment to fulfill its mission to engage minds and hearts in opportunity and service as a public liberal arts college, the chancellor told the crowd. As a result, the college will seek out new academic opportunities to meet the needs of the region's economic and quality of life needs, she added. It will rely on its new Envisioning 2020 strategic plan to carry out those tasks, she told those gathered in the David J. Prior Convocation Center.
"UVa-Wise will incorporate the best practices in technology in every discipline so students, whether they are majoring in the social sciences, history, communications or literature benefit as much from the strengths of technology as do students in the natural sciences," Henry said. "The challenges our region faces over the next six plus years are considerable but our resolve is strong."
The College will work with its partners in the region to reimagine Southwest Virginia's future, build stronger alliances and work together toward renewal and prosperity, the chancellor pledged.
"Our College will do all of these things and thrive because we are fortunate to have remarkable employees, alumni, friends and a parent institution that give us the extraordinary capacity for innovation and growth," Henry said.
University of Virginia President Teresa A. Sullivan charged Henry with the task of providing a strong day-to-day leadership while shaping a superb future for UVa-Wise.
"I know that you are well-prepared for the task and eager to embrace the challenge, and I look forward to applauding your successes in the years ahead," Sullivan said to Henry.
Henry leads the College as it embarks on its new strategic plan. Sullivan said the University and the College at Wise each have similar strategic plans and similar priorities, including efforts to build faculty excellence and to enhance the student experience through experiential learning, while promoting diversity and affordable access.
"U.Va. and the College at Wise share many of the same priorities because we share a sense of purpose and a vision," Sullivan said. "Our purpose and vision are based on a set of commitments we make as public institutions of higher learning, commitments to our students, to our communities and to the Commonwealth of Virginia and its people."
University of Virginia Rector George K. Martin administered the oath of office to Henry and presented her with the College medallion. Joseph C. Smiddy, the College's first chancellor, handed the medallion to Martin, and the Henry family, husband Allen and daughters Jessie and Margaret were by Chancellor Henry's side during the installation.
"Chancellor Henry has the skills and dedication to lead the College to new levels of scholarship, excellence and achievement," Martin said.
Roy E. McTarnaghan, founding president of Florida Gulf Coast University, delivered the keynote address. McTarnaghan worked with Henry at FGCU for many years and said he watched her grow into an insightful and strong leader who leads by example. He told the crowd that Henry has immersed herself in the life of Southwest Virginia and the Commonwealth, and is involved with the organizations that will bring ideas, resources and recognition to UVa-Wise.
"Chancellor Henry understands how this institution has developed and is prepared to take it onward to the next level," he said. "With vision and commitment, and your support within the university and in the region, UVa-Wise is well positioned to continue this successful road."
Delegates representing dozens of learned organizations and colleges and universities across the nation participated in Tuesday's inauguration ceremony.
Three former chancellors of the College--Chancellor Emeritus Joseph Smiddy, Jay Lemons and George Culbertson--attended the inauguration ceremony.
Donna Price Henry was elected chancellor of The University of Virginia's College at Wise by the University of Virginia Board of Visitors on Dec. 7, 2012 and assumed office on Jan. 18, 2013. As the college's eighth chancellor, she is responsible for leading UVa-Wise and its constituents in fulfilling its mission of student success and service to Southwest Virginia and the Commonwealth.
Chancellor Henry is active in the community and the Commonwealth. She serves on the Wise County Chamber of Commerce, Southwest Virginia Public Education Consortium, Cove Ridge Foundation and Advisory Committee, Powell River Project, Southwest Virginia Health Authority and LEAD Virginia. She provides leadership to the Council of Public Liberal Arts Colleges, the American Association of State Colleges and Universities and the Mountain East Conference for athletics.
A biologist with extensive experience in higher education, she spent 16 years in a variety of positions at Florida Gulf Coast University. She was a founding faculty member at FGCU, was faculty senate president and served as a member of the University Board of Trustees. Henry served as dean of the FGCU College of Arts and Sciences, an assignment that demanded meticulous strategic planning and leadership that allowed the College to grow rapidly while continuing to improve academic quality.
Chancellor Henry earned a Bachelor of Arts in Biological Basis of Behavior from the University of Pennsylvania, where she also minored in Spanish. She earned a Doctorate in Physiology from Thomas Jefferson University. Chancellor Henry is a professor of biology on the UVa-Wise faculty.
Henry is married to Allen Henry, a pilot for Federal Express. The Henrys have twin daughters, Jessie and Margaret.

TechnoServe's Work with Tibetan Refugees featured in The New York Times
August 13, 2013
A USAID-supported program is creating sustainable economic opportunities for Tibetans in exile through workforce development, entrepreneurship support, and farming opportunities.
Young Tibetans stand outside a TechnoServe-supported career center in Bylakuppe, India.
More than 100,000 Tibetan refugees live in settlements across India and Nepal. Here, nearly one in four young people is unemployed and those who do find jobs face major economic challenges. As a result, many young Tibetans are leaving in search of better opportunities elsewhere, causing brain drain and threatening the preservation of Tibetan culture.
The Economic Development of Tibetan Settlements (EDOTS) program is working to address these issues by creating sustainable livelihood opportunities within these communities. With support from the U.S. Agency for International Development and the Central Tibetan Administration, TechnoServe is working to promote competitive farms and businesses through new organic farming opportunities, workforce development and entrepreneurship support.
TechnoServe is providing training and support to help 570 young Tibetans find employment opportunities
As part of the program's workforce development initiative, TechnoServe is providing training and support to help 570 young Tibetans find employment opportunities. Amy Yee, a journalist based in New Delhi, recently wrote about this work in a piece for the New York Times.
In a spacious classroom in this northern Indian hill town, 20 young Tibetan men and women sit in front of computers as the summer monsoon rains fall outside.
A woman instructs them in Tibetan on how to use Microsoft Word and Gmail, while other students practice typing by following a keyboard graphic on their screens. They are attending a free computer course at a Tibetan Career Center, opened last year on a busy hillside road in Dharamsala, the exile home of the Dalai Lama and about 12,000 other Tibetans.
The center prepares young Tibetans for jobs through career counseling, mock interviews and résumé writing workshops, and by linking them to potential employers. The program is run by the Tibetan exile administration, which is based in Dharamsala, to foster job readiness and entrepreneurship among Tibetans ages 16 and up. Jigmey Tsultrim, head consultant at the center, said: "Some Tibetans don't realize they have these hidden qualities. We're trying to match them with job opportunities and bridge the gap."

Shopping centres are a compulsory stop, but there are also hundreds of street shops and small markets where you can find practically everything.
Bloomfield Avenue is the biggest street in the state of New Jersey, but most of its area is within the limits of Newark city. Here you find many restaurants and shops belonging to the Italian community, but you can also find all other sorts of establishments, from bookshops to spas. The Jersey Gardens (www.jerseygardens.com) are similar to a free trade area: traders pay half of the tax charged in other areas and, for that reason, they charge less for goods. It's the best place to buy brands like Banana Republic or Gap at low prices. It's the biggest outlet in the area, sought by residents from neighbouring towns. Ironbound (www.goironbound.com) is known for having nearly 200 restaurants, but it is also a commercial area, which also offers Portuguese and Brazilian products, but also has art galleries, electronics and clothing. The downtown area, between Central Avenue and Penn Station, is an excellent place to find biological food, since on Tuesdays and Thursdays, it hosts a market where local farms sell their produce. Here you can also find shops of all sizes, with a wide range of products. At Springfield Avenue, you can find the most renowned brands, which makes it more expensive than the other areas. From grocers to hairdressers and boutiques, you will find a wide range of products and services.

The battlefield is often the topic of Casey Ruble's intricate paintings, but battle has never looked this good. Ruble's use of cheerful colour set upon botanical backgrounds gives a feeling of tapestry rather than conflict. The action is there, further heightened by the cut-out negative spaces and the charming shapes of the settings. Within the battle the warriors and horses wear detailed fabrics that suggest materials that could be used for kimonos, so all in all, Ruble provides the viewer with a very visual treat.

I decided to make a post today discussing some of the reasons why I decided to come to Butler. I originally heard of Butler because of its successful basketball program and did a little research on it and ended up deciding to come! I've always gone to small private schools my whole life so seeing that Butler only had a couple thousand students was really appealing to me. Another good thing about Butler for me was that it's still in a big city so there's always stuff to do and always plenty of opportunities to get involved or find employment.
Overall, coming to Butler has probably been one of the best decisions I've ever made not only because of all the awesome people I've met, but also because of the knowledge I've gained and opportunities I've been part of that I would have never had if I had gone to another school.

The 2014 edition of Quilt Festival marks the final year of Festival's Pet Project, and wouldn't it be great if it went out with a bang?! Friends For Life, Houston's fastest growing no-kill animal adoption and rescue organization, will again be the beneficiary shelter.
My three little guys I adopted from Friends For Life.
Over the past two years, Festival's Pet Project has raised more than $60,000 for Friends For Life t
More than $60,000 total has been raised over the last two years at Quilt Festival for Friends For Life by selling thousands of donated fabric postcards for $20 each. We are inviting YOU to help by making postcards for the final edition.
The details and how you can help:
1. Make as many 4″ x 6″ fabric postcards (that are no more than 1/8″ in thickness) as you would like to be featured and sold at International Quilt Festival this upcoming fall.
2. Get pet-ty! Animal-themed fabric postcards are encouraged but other themes are appreciated as well, such as abstracts, landscapes, floral pieces, etc. The point is to raise as much funds as possible! On the back side of the fabric postcard, please sign your name and title your postcard. (Contact information is optional.)
3. Postcards will be sold for $20 each at Festival, and all of the proceeds will go to Friends For Life.
4. These postcards can be mailed to the Quilts, Inc. office no later than Friday, October 17, 2014. Please note: this is a receive-by date! Quilts Inc. will be accepting postcards during Quilt Festival but wants to have a large starting bank of postcards so please mail as many as you can in advance.
5. You can mail as many fabric postcards as you would like, but please place them in a padded envelope. This way they will stay in pristine condition to be displayed at Festival.
Please mail them to:
Festival Pet Project
7660 Woodway
Suite 550
Houston, TX 77063
6. Please help spread the word, and share your petty creations on your blog, website, and in social media (using the hashtag #festivalpetproject).
7. Come to Quilt Festival and buy as many postcards as you are able!
If you would like to see some examples of fabric postcards received in years past, click here. If you would like some directions for making pet postcards, here is a tutorial.
Below is one of my pet postcards I made last week in honor of Robin Williams and his affection for a beloved gorilla named Koko.
I hope you will take the pet postcard pledge!

Ok, I'm not interested in game emulation atm, so:
Is there any relevance to this?
If so, is it still available, and is the source open or closed, etc.?

The Blood Type Diet Archives Volume 8
Posted By: Dorothy LDate: Thursday, 21 January 1999, at 11:57 p.m.
In Response To: O+ Veggie back and very disappointed in the close mindedness..... (Leslie)
Dear Vegan type O. It sounds like YOU are making it work. You're healthy and no complaints. What more can you ask for. I can't begin to try it as I can't eat grains or beans very often. I'd say, the most important thing about ER4YT for type O's is getting enough vegetables. Whether your protein is flesh or not getting the amount of veggies required is a challenge. I eat soft cooked egg and veggies for breakfast, or beans and veggies for breakfast, this helps me get enough veggies. I also eat fruit with ground nuts for breakfast. Essene bread and fruit and nuts is another vegetarian variation that you might try. Beyond that, my diet interpretations wouldn't work for a vegetarian. Luck to you, dorothy

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - View original article
There are nine bridges across the River Ouse within the city of York, England, and sixteen smaller bridges across the narrower River Foss.
The earliest bridge, built by the Romans, linked Stonegate (the via praetoria of the Roman fortress) and Micklegate, and crossed the river approximately where the Guildhall now is. Its replacement, Ouse Bridge, was a wooden bridge built about 350 metres downstream by the Vikings. It has been rebuilt three times, most recently between 1810 and 1820. The Scarborough Railway Bridge of 1845 was the second bridge to be built, and it was followed by two more road bridges, Lendal Bridge in 1863 and Skeldergate Bridge in 1882. The Millennium Bridge, a footbridge, was added in 2001. There are also Clifton Bridge in the northern suburbs of the city, two modern fly-overs carrying the outer ring road, and the former railway bridge at Naburn, which is now part of the York-Selby cycle path.
North to south, the bridges are:
The original Roman bridge over the Ouse was eventually replaced by a wooden bridge built further downstream by the Vikings. In 1154, it collapsed under the weight of a crowd which had gathered to greet St William of York on his return from exile. It was replaced by a stone bridge. In 1367 the first public toilets in Yorkshire, and likely England, were opened on the bridge.[1] Part of the bridge was swept away by floods in the winter of 1564–5. The repaired bridge of 1565 had a new central arch spanning 81 ft, and was described by Defoe as "...near 70 foot [21 m] in diameter; it is, without exception, the greatest in England, some say it's as large as the Rialto at Venice, though I think not." This bridge was dismantled between 1810 and 1818 to make way for the New Ouse Bridge, designed by Peter Atkinson the younger, completed in 1821.[2][3]
The second bridge across the Ouse was the Scarborough Railway Bridge, built in 1845 to carry the railway line between York and Scarborough (now the Scarborough branch of the North TransPennine route). Originally it had two tracks with a pedestrian path in between them. In 1875 the track was raised 4 feet (1.2 m) and the footpath moved to the south side, where it remains today.
Until 1861 there was a rope-ferry where Lendal Bridge now stands (see www.york1852.org). This was the ferry used by Florence Nightingale when she visited York en route to Castle Howard in 1852.
At both ends of the bridge there are towers, Barker Tower to the west and Lendal Tower to the east. Its engineer was Thomas Page, who also designed London's Westminster Bridge. It has a single span of 53 metres.
It was the second attempt to build a bridge here. The first, begun in 1860 by William Dredge, collapsed during construction, and five workmen were killed. Parts of the structure were later taken to Scarborough and used in the Valley Bridge there. [1]
In 1861 permission was obtained from Parliament for a new bridge to be built. In 1863 a second Lendal Bridge was built, designed by Thomas Page: it is an iron bridge with Gothic features. It links Station Road with Museum Street and thus York railway station with York Minster, and is part of York's Inner Ring Road.
Lendal Bridge was used in Damon and Debbie, a 1987 spin-off of soap Brookside for the scenes where long-running character Damon Grant was murdered.
Skeldergate Bridge links the York Castle area and the old bailey at Baile Hill. It was built as a toll bridge between 1878 and 1880 (architect: George Gordon Page). A small arch by the former tollhouse at the east end of the bridge was originally designed to open so that tall ships could sail up to the quays on either side of the river between Skeldergate and Ouse Bridges. Skeldergate Bridge was formally declared free of tolls on 1 April 1914.
Coordinates: 53°56′41.33″N 1°4′55.42″W / 53.9448139°N 1.0820611°W
The Millennium Bridge, built to a competition-winning design by Whitby Bird and Partners,[4] was opened on 10 April 2001, having cost £4.2m to build. It spans the River Ouse to the south of York, linking Hospital Fields Road and Maple Grove in Fulford with Butcher Terrace on the South Bank. The bridge carries a cycle path and a footpath, and is not open to vehicular traffic. It is a key link in the Sustrans National Cycle Routes 65/66 and will be part of the orbital route for York completed in 2011. The bridge shortened the walk or cycle for students from houses in the South Bank to the University of York (they previously had to travel via Skeldergate Bridge).
The bridge also acts a meeting place for local people, as it has a waist height shelf spanning the whole structure which facilitates sitting and admiring the view.Increasingly it is used as a circular walk from the city centre taking in the New Walk on the east bank and Terry Avenue and Rowntree Park on the west bank. While riverside paths regularly flood several times a year the bridge is higher and rarely cut off by floodwaters. Signs on approaches from Fulford Rd /Hospital Fields Rd junction and Butcher Terrace/Bishopthorpe Road warn when it may be impassible without wellies.
Supplies for Fulford Barracks were brought in by river near this location, and the remains of a narrow gauge railway may be seen on the eastern bank of the river a few metres toward the city. There used to be a rope ferry at this location as well.
Outside the outer ring-road, the Naburn bridge used to carry the York-Selby railway until it was diverted in 1983. The bridge now constitutes part of the York & Selby cycle path, connecting the TransPennine trail to York.[5] It is also known as the "Fisherman Bridge" due to a large metal sculpture of a fisherman with bike and dog, sitting on top which was added in 2000 as part of the York Council "Creative Communities 2000" scheme [2].
A temporary bridge at Clifton was built by the British Army in 1961 on the site of an old ferry crossing to handle additional vehicle traffic caused by the wedding of the Duke and Duchess of Kent at York Minster. A permanent bridge was opened officially on 28 October 1963. The bridge is built from 4,000 tons of concrete and 50 tons of reinforced steel[3], [4].
South to north, from the confluence with the Ouse, these are:
Many of these are unobtrusive modern bridges carrying main roads. The following are more notable:
The Foss Bridge, a single Georgian gritstone arch with balusters, links the streets Fossgate and Walmgate. It is believed that the earliest bridge on this site was constructed during the Viking period. The present bridge, designed by Peter Atkinson the younger and erected in 1811–12, replaced a wooden bridge. The bridge was once the site of a fish market.[3][6]
This cast-iron pedestrian bridge from Foss Islands Road to what is now the Defra site at Peasholme Green was constructed in 1931 by the Monk Bridge Construction Company to improve communications between York's power station and its cooling tower, both now demolished.[7] It is locked and not in use.
Monk Bridge is a single-arched ashlar bridge with a span of approximately six metres. It carries traffic between central York and Heworth and was built in 1794 to designs by Peter Atkinson the elder. In 1924-6, the bridge was widened and the upper part rebuilt.[3]

Cannabis therapy -- Why bother?
Published on -8/25/2014, 9:29 AM
Printer-friendly version
E-Mail This Story
Credulous New Age acolytes regard cannabis as an earthy herb, a gift from Mother Nature that must surely be good for us, because it's "natural."
Seen from the other extreme, cannabis is a scourge sent by the Devil, and so-called "benefits" are all fictions.
There are two cannabis subspecies, C. sativa and C. indica, which can be hybridized by plant breeders to produce specific effects. Found only in cannabis, the botanical cannabinoids include the well-known THC, a principle psychoactive agent. But there are 60-some other cannabinoids, including agents like CBD and CBN.
Cannabis also produces terpenes, flavonoids and polyphenols, among others. While in isolation many of these are potent antioxidants and anti-inflammatories, the combined effect of all groups working in concert is different from their individual properties.
This is called the Ensemble Effect. It's well known in Western medicine -- multiple agents can have a magnified effect when taken together in one pill.
They can "potentiate" each other -- one plus one equals three. Or one can mitigate adverse effects of another -- adding a second blood pressure drug not only lowers pressure further, but reduces potassium loss caused by the first ingredient.
The traditional Western analytical paradigm separates botanicals into individual ingredients, then tests each in isolation. This can be useful to determine dosages, side-effects and duration of action. But it's wholly inadequate, and even misleading, for assessing a medicine which manifests the Ensemble Effect in real-life usage.
Isolated THC acts differently from THC administered in its original botanical context. THC is available as a legal pill, sold as Marinol, but few think it's a particularly useful preparation -- and it certainly can't serve as a surrogate for whole cannabis medically or experimentally.
There is as much genetic diversity among the hundreds of strains of cannabis as there is among dog breeds, and medical properties vary immensely; think Chihuahuas and St. Bernards. Some strains are no more appropriate for a given medical condition than Chihuahuas would be as sled dogs.
Failure to recognize this fact has frustrated much meaningful research, at least in this country, but we'll say more about that in a future segment.
Each of us makes our own cannabinoids, just as we make our own morphine. The "endocannabinoid system" depends in part on cellular receptors allowing cannabinoid molecules to "dock," attaching to the cell and then modifying its functions. These "CB receptors" are found in virtually every type of tissue in the body. It bespeaks their profound and pervasive role in regulating a wide variety of physical and psychological functions.
So cannabis therapeutics possesses an aspect essential if new pharmacological interventions are to be validated: We have a plausible mechanism for proposed effects.
The mechanism is complex, but its net effects can be determined with some specificity, providing the right experimental models are applied. That is, we have to listen to the whole orchestra, and not just the loudest snare drum. We have to assess the overall effect of a particular strain in humans with a specific syndrome or symptom.
Chronic pain has yielded to selected cannabis strains. In particular, one hard-to-treat misery, neuropathic pain, responds well. Common among people with amputations, diabetes, AIDS and cancer, neuropathic pain resists even opiates like morphine. Cannabis not only helps this pain -- as proven in FDA-approved gold-standard, double-blind, placebo-controlled studies -- but also improves appetite and reduces depression.
Some denialists object that too high a dose might increase rather than diminish pain. They misread the nature of cannabis' influence on focused sensory perception; but if this were really an issue, it would mitigate against escalating doses and addiction.
Other well-documented applications include the dramatic effect of high-CBD strains on severe, untreatable seizure disorders, particularly among children with Dravet's Syndrome. (This is what finally convinced TV-doctor Sanjay Gupta to abandon his opposition to cannabis therapy.)
Cannabis can interfere with short-term memory processes, an adverse effect in some circumstances. But since abrupt aberrant memory retrieval is a hallmark of post-traumatic stress disorder, we again have a mechanism underlying the demonstrated relief some PTSD sufferers have achieved, allowing them to discontinue a witches' brew of toxic drugs which didn't help their symptoms, but instead caused devastating side-effects.
Then there's cancer. The impact of THC in remitting a devastating form of brain cancer, glioblastoma multiforme, has been shown in Israeli studies. Cannabis doesn't cause cancer (if used without adding tobacco), and appears to decrease the risk of head and neck cancers. And we have -- a mechanism. Two, in fact.
One is "impaired angioneogenesis," reducing the formation of new blood vessels needed to support a growing tumor. The other is "premature apoptosis," in which cancer cells selectively commit suicide. Unlike many current agents, cannabis doesn't damage normal cells at the same time.
There are numerous other applications which have made cannabis therapy a staple in reputable institutions, such as AIDS hospitals and cancer wards -- where it is allowed by law, that is. It can sometimes alleviate underlying conditions that produce pain in the first place.
In 2003, the U.S. government successfully patented cannabinoids as "useful in the treatment and prophylaxis of a wide variety of ... diseases, such as ischemic, age-related, inflammatory and autoimmune ... " with "particular application for stroke, trauma, Alzheimers and Parkinsonism."
A Schedule I drug -- no legitimate medical use at all? But so beneficial the government itself patented its constituents?
