Compliance and Risk Management
In recent years there has been an increased scrutiny into the ability of an organization to manage, audit and assess risk.
At a public institution of higher learning, risk can take many forms including financial, operational and regulatory. All of these can have an impact on the university's financial stability and its reputation.
In 2013 several existing departments in the Business and Finance Division were realigned to form the Compliance and Risk Management unit. The goal of this new unit is to establish a best practices approach to risk assessment and compliance, which includes federal regulatory requirements.
Dr. Constance Hawke is the associate vice president for Compliance and Risk Management. The departments in the unit are listed below.
If you have a question or concern, please contact the Compliance and Risk Management office (see contact information below).

Prince William and his pregnant wife Catherine beat another expectant couple, Kim Kardashian and Kanye West, on adult porn company Vivid Entertainment's Top 10 Hottest Couples' Celebrity Sex Tapes Wish List.
Vivid founder/co-chairman Steven Hirsch tells WENN, "The newest royal couple is still our top choice. It seems that almost every move they make is documented - except for having sex. Without question, this would be an international best seller. Just behind them are Kim and Kanye and this is verified by an incredible spike in video-on-demand sales of our original Kim Kardashian Superstar title since Kim's pregnancy was announced."
Meanwhile, Jay-Z and Beyonce are third on the list, Jennifer Aniston and Justin Theroux are fourth and Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez round out the top five.

My top five favorite titles right now are
Amazing Spider-Man by J. Michael Straczynski (creator of Babylon 5) and John Romita, Jr.
This is the best this title has been in over ten years. JMS GETS the characters. He writes the dialogue perfectly and has injected a sense of fun and humor into the book that I haven't seen in quite a while. While I'm not a big fan of JRJr, his artwork is energetic and really communicates the agility of Spidey in action. Great stuff.
Negation by Tony Bedard and Paul Pelletier
High octane space opera action. A story about a group of beings from different planets in our universe abducted to the Negation universe and placed in a prison camp. They escape and are on the run, trying to find a way home. Interesting characters, well written stories, gorgeous artwork by Pelletier, and a cliffhanger every month.
Y: The Last Man by Brian K. Vaughan and Pia Guerra
An interesting twist on the "last man on Earth" story. Yorrick finds himself as the last man on Earth after something kills off all animals on the planet with a Y chromosome. He, along with a special government agent and a genetecist are traveling across the country in a search for what caused this calamity. Great stuff. Another book with a cliffhanger every month.
Outsiders by Judd Winick and Tom Raney
Excellent superheroics. Gorgeous artwork by Raney. Nightwing and Arsenal form a group that will be more proactive when it comes to fighting supervillains. Wall to wall action and great character interaction make for a very enjoyable read month in and month out.
Flash by Geoff Johns and Howard Porter
Classic superheroics. Johns has taken the Flash's rogues and amped them up. No longer are they cheesy characters with gimmicks. They are truly horrifying now. Plus, Johns has given them background stories that make them human (see the Captain Cold issue). Great great stuff here.
Honorable mentions go to:
Stormwatch: Team Achilles - military superhero action
Way of the Rat - Hong Kong style kung fu action along the lines of a Jackie Chan movie
Wonder Woman - great stuff...Greg Rucka's the first writer who's kept me on this book longer than four issues
Gotham Central - crime drama set in Gotham City (Batman is there, but usually in the background)
Queen & Country - spy thriller by Greg Rucka focusing on field operatives of MI6
Sword of Dracula - a descendant of Van Helsing leads a military force in the hunt for Dracula, who now is nearly godlike in his power
Walking Dead - excellent zombie story along the lines of 28 Days
Abadazad - great children's fantasy

Maybe you should post what you don't read.
Well, what I'm reading now.. Let me think..
Favorite Titles currently:
Ultimate X-Men - Great series. Better than the regular run (Till Claremont takes over, then, we hope it'll improve)
Ultimate Four (Good stuff)
Powers (Always good)
30 Days [Return to Barrow} (The third volume in this series) - Had to comment on this one. AMAZING HORROR. I mean, this stuff is great. Writer Steven Niles, and art by Ben Templesmith. This is one of the comics that will be on the big screen one day, but, it'll never do it justice since the art is such a pivotal part of the story.
Supreme Power - JMS (Dude from B5, and Amazing Spider-Man) And Gary Frank (art) show what happens to a world who is seeing the emergence of super beings. GREAT TITLE!
Here are the rest of my titles (Copied).. If they have some sort of mark next to them, it's cause I'm probably considering dropping the title.
1. Flash
2. Monolith
3. Powers
4. Savage Dragon
5. X-Men
6. Uncanny X-Men
7. Spawn
8. Daredevil
9. Ultimate X-Men
10. Ultimate Spider-Man
11. Ultimate 4
12. Amazing Spider-Man
13. Captain Marvel (Issue #25 last one)
14. Tarot Witch of the Blackrose (Bi-Monthly)
15. Batman
16. Fallen Angel
17. Outsiders
18. Teen Titans
19. Spec Spider-Man
20. Supreme Power
21. Batman/Super-Man
22. Runaways <?>

I finally remebered to bring my comicbook list:
JLA (loved the trades. Hopefully they continued to be as great)
Nightwing (an old favourite. I was a bit worried for a while, but no longer)
Teen Titans (not so sure. I'm an old Titans fan, but I never had any interest in the Young Justice comic)
Outsiders (almost like the old Titans title. I like!)
Wonder Woman
Elfquest (I'm an old fan of EQ as well. Very glad to see that DC publishes new material, too. Even if it is in hardcover... )
Dark Horse
Blade of the Immortal (I like it very much!)
Captain Marvel
Fantastic Four
Silver Surfer (not as cosmic as I expected)
Thor (very intereting current storyline)
X-treme X-men (Still haven't gotten the last 2 issues)
Authority, vol 2 (sigh)
Tom Strong (another strong favourite)
Terrific Tales of Tom Strong
Also, the Finnish editions of these comics:
- Mega which shows various Marvel comics. This year we have seen Hulk and Ultimates.
- Spider-Man
- X-men. They used to have both Uncanny X-Men and New X-men. However, currently they have Uncanny and X-treme X-men.
- Witchblade/ Darkness. Also has Rising Stars, Kin, and Witchblade specials and miniseries.
- DC comics has just started and they have Superman (Birthright), Batman (Hush) and Kingdom Come.
- Ranma 1/2
- almost forgot: Star Wars. Published 4 times a year.

I haven't had a chance to read many comics or graphic novels this year, finding most of them overpriced. I did read Warren Ellis' Orbiter which I thought was very good. A beautiful meditation on space exploration. Also read LXG vol. 2 which I also liked, but maybe not as much as the first volume.

Fell in love with the old 2000AD/Judge Dredd comics with their Brian Bolland covers. They were just brilliant! And yes, Judge Anderson is a very cool character.
July 10th, 2004, 12:53 AM #26
2000AD was a favourite of mine as a kid in the eighties. Judge Dredd, Slann, Halo Jones - loved 'em all. It's well past its heyday now, though, sadly like most things I enjoyed when I was younger.

I've been re-reading the Frank Miller run on Daredevil from the 1980-2. So very cool. The death of Elektra is one of the best moments in comic book hisotry.

African American history
The acquisition of the papers of W.E.B. Du Bois in 1972 established SCUA as a center for research in African American history. In subsequent years, the University of Massachusetts has supported the publication of three volumes of Dr. Du Bois' correspondence and SCUA has served as a resource for many dozens of scholarly articles and books on Du Bois and his legacy. SCUA has also made efforts to build around the Du Bois collection, adding other important printed and manuscript materials both in African American history and in the history of efforts to promote social change.
Beyond Du Bois, significant collections in African American history include the papers of the abolitionist Hudson Family of Northampton, the expatriate playwright Gordon Heath, the sociologist, educator, and former president of Lincoln University, Horace Mann Bond.
Each February, in commemoration of Dr. Du Bois's birthday, SCUA and the Du Bois Department of Afro-Americans Studies at UMass co-sponsor a colloquium on Du Bois and his legacy. Our lecturers have included distinguished scholars such as Herbert Aptheker, Randolph Bromery, Clayborne Carson, and David Levering Lewis.

Founded under the Morrill Land Grant Act of 1862 as the Massachusetts Agricultural College, UMass Amherst has long been dedicated to the study and teaching of agriculture and the natural sciences. One of two land grant institutions in the Commonwealth (along with MIT), the university has played an important role in the development of scientific agriculture in New England and has been a major factor in agricultural instruction through its classes and extension service.
SCUA's collections contain a wealth of information on the history of agriculture and related fields, including horticulture, botany, entomology, animal husbandry, gardening, and landscape design. The strength of the collection lies in documenting the development of American agricultural sciences with an emphasis upon the northeastern states, but it is supplemented with numerous works on British, French, and German agriculture. Adding additional depth are the records of the several departments at UMass Amherst charged with instruction in the agricultural sciences and the papers of individual agricultural educators.
Currently, SCUA is particularly interested in documenting the growth of organic agriculture, heritage breeds, and the practices of sustainable living.

Interested throughout his career in new methods in research and teaching history, he was author of books on Dwight Eisenhower, Claude Wickard (Franklin Roosevelt's Secretary of Agriculture), and the student movements of the 1960s. Albertson died at his home in Longmeadow, Mass., on March 31, 1989, at the age of 68.
The Albertson Papers consist of the records of three summer institutes in history at UMass run during the summer 1966-1968, and funded by the National Defence Education Act (NDEA). Aimed at high school teachers of social sciences and history in western Massachusetts, the institutes were designed to provide in-service training and to expose teachers to newer material and techniques in teaching U.S. history.

Born in Reading, Mass., on Sept 13, 1948, Jeff Albertson was still a student at Boston University, working on the staff of the BU News, when he was hired as a photographer by the Boston Globe. Reflecting the youth culture of the late 1960s and early 1970s, his photographs earned him positions with several prominent Boston alternative media outlets. Covering news, music, and the political interests of his generation, he served as photo editor for the Boston Phoenix and associate publisher for the Real Paper, and his work appeared regularly in mainstream publications such as Rolling Stone, People, and Boston Magazine. After becoming photo editor for the Medical Tribune News Group and moving to New York City in the 1980s, he met and married Charlene Laino. In later years, he became involved in early efforts to create websites devoted to issues surrounding health. Albertson died in 2008.

Washington, D.C., 26 October 2012 (PAHO/WHO) – A mobile application that enables health professionals to make evidence-based decisions on students' health, while on-the-go, was launched by the Pan American Health Organization/World Health Organization this week, during the Ninth Regional Congress on Health Sciences Information (CRICS9).
PAHO/WHO, the Centers for Disease Prevention and Control (CDC) and the Ministries of Health and Education, have used the survey since 2003 to monitor the behaviors that affect the health of students, ages 13 to 15, in more than 30 countries and territories in the Americas.
Health professionals can now easily visualize the latest findings from the survey, make comparisons among cities and countries, and share it by email or through social networks –all from their mobile phones and tablets.
Mobile technologies are currently used in connection with a wide range of public health initiatives. The advantages of mobile technologies are vast, including availability, accessibility, innovation, cost-effectiveness, real-time access to information, and portability.
PAHO/WHO Director, Dr. Mirta Roses Periago, stressed in her remarks during the CRICS9 inauguration, that access to reliable information and the exchange of health knowledge through the use of information and communication technologies (ICT), "have been considered essential for health development" in the Americas. Dr. Roses also reaffirmed the commitment of the Organization with Member States to work in the dissemination of critical health information to the general public to enable them to make decisions favorable to their health.
The development of the eGSHS mobile application falls within the PAHO/WHO Strategy and Plan of Action on eHealth for the Americas. The regional strategy seeks to contribute to the sustainable development of health systems to improve access to and the quality of services, with the use of ICT.
Some components of eHealth, in addition to mHealth (or health through the use of mobile devices), are electronic health records, telehealth (including telemedicine), continuing education in ICT, and the standardization and interoperability between different technologies and software applications to exchange and use data effectively, accurately and robustly.
PAHO/WHO is currently working to develop mobile applications addressing other public health issues. The eGSHS app is already available for download, free of charge, from Apple's Official Store in iTunes. Results from the GSHS survey can also be accessed through the PAHO/WHO website on students' health: http://www.paho.org/saludyescuelas
PAHO celebrates its 110th anniversary this year and is the world's oldest international public health organization. It works with all the countries of the hemisphere to improve the health and quality of life of the peoples of the Americas and serves as the WHO Regional Office for the Americas.
The ninth Regional Congress on Health Sciences Information (CRICS9) held 22-24 October, in Washington, D.C., was organized by PAHO/WHO and its Latin American and Caribbean Center on Health Sciences (BIREME). With the theme "Reaching universal access to health", congress participants shared experiences and exchanged information on programs, projects, systems and networks on health sciences information and communications in the Americas.

Outcast - looking for some critique
I've been working on this book concept for about 7 years now. It began with a short story in 2005 in a creative writing class and developed from there. In 2010-11 I wrote a 80k word novel (my first novel) which had a good response but was ultimately not good enough for publishing. This year (2012) I am completing my masters in creative writing and I am trying to use what I've learned to completely re-craft the story and the world from the ground up. This thread is my ongoing work on this book concept.
First book of a trilogy
Tension between the Kaizer and the Orders, the representatives of the gods, has reached crisis point. Kaizer Frederik III has put forth an ultimatum, return all lands and wealth to its rightful owner, the Deutz Empire, or face the consequences
The Order of Alleman, and Godhart, awaits the arrival of a small child. Bound by an ancient oath, the child is to be escorted to Sanctuary, a place for her kind in the frozen north, but with the Deutz Empire on the brink of rebellion the Kaizer has no interest in the ancient oaths and duties of the Orders.
When power rests in the hands of a few a single word can bring great good or terrible destruction, a curse of power, a malediction.

There's a Clint Eastwood or Charles Bronson 70s flick in this somehow. I think what you need is more about the world that this is taking place in, and why this girl is so important.

I think the story could be very interesting, but that blurb is not selling it for me in the slightest. Look at the important words you're using: Old, weary, peace, rest, final resting place...The imagery conjured up is of an old folk's home and a very uneventful book.
Not saying you have to go all "ZAP POW SEXY!" but I'm pretty sure you'd only find a very niche audience with that description.
Phew - Bet you noticed that! I'm doing that for my blurb.

All Godhart Leland wanted was a respectable place to die. His was a simple enough quest until he is saddled with an alien girl considered an abomination among her own kind. Caught up in a conflict not of his choosing, drug into leading a church he didn't believe in, Godhart's final days are neither what he envisioned nor what two worlds had planned for.

If I would get a dollar for every healthy 20-30 year old straight male/female main character...
So I disagree. Don't sell a book on something that it isn't. If the main character is very old, be honest about that. If you try to reel in people with a different hook you are only going to see them put the book down when your promise proves hollow.
I wouldn't be put off in the least. I think an old main character provides a unique approach and already opens a lot of interesting questions. How would an old man manage such a physically demanding journey?
It already seems like a much grander adventure because the journey is much harder on the main char.

I'd be glad to read a story with an 'old' MC (I loved Cohen the Barbarian). And I'm sure this is an eventful, action-packed story just like it should be. But the wording lulled me to sleep with its vocabulary of repose.
Kerry - 'drug'? Uuuurgh not even acceptable as an Americanism (unless you're going for dialect dialogue). Dragged!

Thanks for the feedback. Let me try again.
The Deutz Empire is beset on all sides. From the north barbarians rally to war, along the western sea the alien Lunaii raid the coast for slaves, in the south the enigmatic Soldii isolate themselves, and in the eastern mountains ancient creatures lay dormant. The capital Altstadt is on the brink of civil war as the treasury dwindles. Suspecting treason from the wealthy cults the Emperor orders a purge and sacking. Amidst the turmoil Godhart Leland, a templar of Alleman, is called to the patriarch and is presented with a girl who is labeled an abomination by the Soldii. Tasked with her safekeeping and with the title of successor to the cult of Alleman, Godhart is sent north with the most accomplished templars and the last relics of the cult.

Still too much scope for me and not enough taste of the personal drama or story. Reads like a synopsis. In your shoes I would center on your main character and not the world setting. I want the central conflict he must face as a person. If you can't find any character growth or challenge, if this story has about as much progression as a Warcraft quest line, then you might have deeper issues.
For me, stories like this revolve around characters, not circumstances. Also, you need to jazz this up. Portray the drama in your synopsis. Use phrases meant to catch and excite.

On narrative captivation:
Captitvation, as defined by transport theory (J. Gerrig, I think), suggests that the initial grab of a reader happens in three, sequential steps:
- Attention
- Emotion
- Construction
To summarize: Slap them in the face (get their attention), stab them in the heart (make them feel an emotion), then whack them in the head (make them imagine imagery).
It's not a perfect rule, but it can be helpful in thinking about how to write a catchy blurb.

Your second one grabbed me more than the first. I thought the first half was really good with the whole four points of the compass thing but one you got to the character part it sort of lost me. If you follow the whole slap em in the face idea then I'd say something like Godfrey is dying or wants to die or whatever, then a poor girl is this and that and she'll probably die, then there is conflict in every direction so everyone will probably die. People like impending doom. Also start out with "In a world..." all the best stuff starts that way.

New stuff.
Book 1 of The Exiled Triumvirate
Three children born,
To a world that does not want them,
Three relics torn,
From the gods that cannot find them,
Three sages sworn,
To guide and in the chaos bind them.
When the Kingdom of Euraxis threatened to enslave the world, the old gods gifted three relics to tribes of Erd to restore the balance of power. Bound by oath the tribes promised to return the relics after they had destroyed the armies of Euraxis, but corrupted by power and greed the tribes of Erd broke their oath and turned on each other. In the chaos of war the relics were lost and a fragile peace ensued until now.
Five millennia later the Kingdom of Euraxis has risen again. The people of Erd have forgotten the old gods and worship a new magic called science. The relics, all but forgotten, lay dormant waiting to be found and by chance, make their way into the hands of three young children. With the world of Erd on the brink of war, the children begin their own journeys to fulfill the oath of their ancestors.

Still not effective for me as an attention grabber. Again, I would concentrate on a character, not a story setting. Here, you immediately go for telling over showing, and most folks don't want to be sat on a stool and get narrated to. They want to experience it.

It's been quite a while since I last posted on Opium Insight and I have to say…I missed it greatly. I hope to make post frequently on here once again! Today I've got the honor of showing off my new coat from Sascha's Designs! Since fall is now upon us and we're looking forward to cooler weather, this jacket definitely fits the season. As many of you know, the Vintage Fair is also going on right now, so I've been somewhat stuck in a 70′s kind of mood as of late. This jacket seriously has a funkalicious vintage vibe, but can also be worn in a more toned down, classy manner if you so desire!
Most people tend to favor warmer colors in the autumn for obvious reasons (I'm a fan of the warmer tones, I admit) & I'm loving the jacket in this tone, however it also comes in white, pink, lavender, black and purple for those who tend to gravitate towards those colors, so there's something for everyone.
I had such fun putting this style together. Sometimes when you find a certain item that's screaming to be worn, building a look from that central item (whether it's an article of clothing, hairstyle, skin or piece of jewelry) can totally put you in a bubbly mood and make you feel accomplished. I know I feel pretty perky and I'm not usually so chipper on a Monday!
Visit Sascha's Designs today!

Real kids, 'virtual zoo' Students dress up as animals of every sort
Saturday, February 16, 2013
ROCHESTER — The William Allen School was overrun Thursday with lions, tigers and bears, and any other animal you could imagine, as children dressed up to represent their favorites from all over the world.
"And then they just spew out these facts," she said with a laugh.
Caelyn LaClair, 8, lay across her underwater habitat as a dolphin with a gray suit as dozens poured into the school cafeteria Thursday morning. Her father, Jestin LaClair, said he helped her build and design the ocean structure.
"It's my favorite animal," Caelyn added, commenting on why she selected the dolphin. "They eat fish."
Adam Roy, 9, crouched in front of his mountain display in a brown suit with antlers as an endangered red stag. He said he was most excited to share new details with his family, friends and classmates.
"They live in Asia. They were discovered in 2007," Adam said, rattling off facts, adding his favorite part of the experience was "researching the animal I already knew about and sharing with other people what they probably didn't know."
Sawyer Martel, 8, posed as if he were howling at the moon in his coyote costume so his grandmother, Bonnie Constantakos, could snap a photograph.
Martel said it only took him two days to pull the habitat together, his grandmother noting his mother sketched the desert landscape and then her grandson hand painted everything else.
Brock said in the past, students made their projects at school but it was far more "exciting" to have the kids take their work home and to explore the assignment together with their families.
"I think having the support of the families makes it a fun family project," Brock said. "The kids would come in on Mondays and share how they went to Home Depot and Lowe's. One girl came in and said, 'I sent dad out to the wood pile for birch tree bark' so she could put it in her habitat."
The zoo event was held on Thursday, Valentine's Day, after it was postponed the week before due to a blizzard. Some students said they were thankful to have a few extra days to really make their projects stand out even more.

Drug use trips up candidates for shale-related jobs
Blog Entry:
January 11, 2013 4:30 AM | Author: SCOTT SUTTELL
Some companies expanding in the natural gas boom are facing an
unexpected hurdle to growth
: applicants who are failing drug tests.
"In the debate about whether American workers have the right skills to fill jobs in manufacturing and growing sectors such as oil and gas extraction, failed drug tests are often an overlooked problem,"
The Wall Street Journal
reports. In parts of Pennsylvania, Ohio and West Virginia — a region undergoing an industrial transformation driven by shale gas — "employers and others say widespread drug use, particularly the abuse of prescription drugs, is affecting hiring," according to the newspaper.
The Journal
reports, the rate of positive workplace drug tests has declined slightly over the last few years for most workers. But pre-employment tests detecting drugs in workers such as truckers and pipeline workers, who are required to be tested by federal law, "have ticked back up in the past three years, to 1.8% in 2011 from 1.5% in 2009, in urine-analysis tests by Quest Diagnostics."
Health experts tell the newspaper that drug dependency "is particularly acute in Appalachia, which has a high percentage of older, blue-collar workers living in low-income areas."
Workers who suffered on-the-job injuries and received prescription pain relievers as a result or endured long stretches of unemployment are more susceptible to drug use and abuse, said Neil Capretto, medical director at Gateway Rehabilitation Center, a drug-treatment organization with 20 locations in Pennsylvania and Ohio.
"That poses challenges in the Pennsylvania-Ohio-West Virginia region, amid a wave of recruitment by natural-gas drillers and trucking, pipeline and well-services companies,"
The Journal
As a result, the newspaper adds, "more employers are targeting veterans and volunteer firefighters, who have often gone through periodic drug testing, to find drug-free applicants," according to Rhonda Reda, executive director of the Ohio Oil and Gas Energy Education Program. In training programs at 45 colleges and career training centers, drug testing is "the No. 1 message" the group is highlighting, she says.
Solid growth plans
The burgeoning shale industry "is attracting a wave of investment that may revive profits in the steel industry," according to
this story
from Bloomberg.
For instance, Austrian steelmaker Voestalpine in late December said it might construct a $660 million factory in the United State to benefit from cheap gas. Domestic steelmaker Nucor plans to start a $750 million Louisiana project in the middle of this year, which Bloomberg says is "among at least five U.S. plants under consideration or being built that would use gas instead of coal to purify iron ore, the main ingredient in steel."
"That technology has been around 30 years, but for 29 years gas prices in the U.S. were so high that the technology was not economical," Michelle Applebaum, managing partner at consulting firm Steel Market Intelligence in Chicago, tells Bloomberg. "This is how steel will be built moving forward."
The new capacity "may signal a turnaround for an industry that has suffered from overcapacity since the financial crisis and collapse in commodity prices four years ago," the news service reports. (While global steel output has grown 14% since 2008, U.S. production is down 3.4%.)
Bloomberg says this new group of steel projects primarily comprises "direct-reduced iron plants," which account for the first stage of steelmaking. The DRI technology produces iron for about $324 a ton, Nucor says, which is 20% cheaper than using a conventional blast furnace.
Students of the future
Twelve student teams from universities across the state have been selected as semifinalists for the 2013 Ohio Clean Energy Challenge.
The Jan. 29 event in Columbus, hosted by the University Clean Energy Alliance of Ohio and NorTech, is part of the U.S. Department of Energy's National Clean Energy Business Plan Competition. It's designed to create a network of student-focused clean energy business competitions.
Four of the student teams are from Case Western Reserve University, while one is from Cleveland State University and another is from Malone University in Canton. Other teams are from Ohio State University, the University of Cincinnati and the University of Toledo.
A list of the semifinalists and a look their technologies can be found
The students have developed technologies in a variety of areas, including wind, solar, biomass and waste-to-energy, and home energy management, according to a news release announcing the finalists. They will showcase their innovations in front of a live audience while competing for a $10,000 prize and a spot in the Midwest regional competition.
"Fostering greater entrepreneurship is one of the keys to revitalizing Ohio's economy, and commercializing new technologies to meet the energy challenges of the 21st century is a huge market opportunity," said Richard Stuebi, managing director of Early Stage Partners and one of the judges, in a statement.
Last year's winner of the contest, Design Flux Technologies, has ties to the University of Akron. It's developing a reconfigurable energy source with their combined hardware-and-software energy management technology.
"We are developing the world's first Intelligent Energy Exchange for industries, businesses and consumers that store, deliver and exchange electricity on-demand," says Design Flux president Courtney Gras, 23, a senior at the University of Akron. "Our product transforms battery packs on-the-fly to meet the needs of their applications, and completely eliminates the need for traditional chargers, charging stations, inverters, management systems and motor controllers."
This year's winner will advance to the Midwest regional competition in Chicago on April 4, and compete for a $100,000 grand prize and a spot in the national competition in Washington, D.C.

FHSU football -- Brown enters Year 3 in development of program
By CONOR NICHOLL
Craig Schurig inherited one of the weaker MIAA programs when he became the head football coach at Washburn University before the 2002 season. In his first year, Schurig led the Ichabods to a 3-8 record. The next season, Washburn moved to 5-6.
In 2004, Washburn broke through with an 8-4 record, the Ichabods' first winning season since 1999 and the first postseason victory since 1986 with a 36-33 win against Northern State in the Mineral Water Bowl. Now, Schurig has turned Washburn into a top-25 powerhouse that has made playoff trips or bowl appearances on a near-annual basis.
"Year 3, there is a fine line in that year," Schurig said.
Missouri Western State University coach Jerry Partridge is now the Griffons' all-time winningest coach. Last fall, he led Missouri Western to its first outright MIAA championship.
However, Partridge, now in his 17th year, hoped to keep his job. Partridge finished 5-6 in his first two seasons, including a big upset against Pittsburg State University late in the second season. In addition, Partridge had a new athletic director, which made his job situation a little tenous.
"I thought they would fire me after one," he said. "I thought they would fire me after two. I think going into Year 3, I was a little nervous about that part."
The third season, Missouri Western went 7-4 and played stride for stride with powers University of Central Missouri and Northwest Missouri State University. Partridge's third year gained momentum for creating one of Division II's top programs.
While not in his third season, Emporia State's Garin Higgins enjoyed a five-win improvement to 10-2 in his sixth year last fall. It was the Hornets' best season since 1989.
"For us, even the years where I felt like we were 5-6, I felt like we were a good football team," Higgins said. "Again, I think that's still shows you the balance of the MIAA and how tough it is. But for us, I think we had a great senior class, meaning that we had a lot of those players that really were a part of the rebuilding process."
This fall, Fort Hays State University starts Year 3 under coach Chris Brown, who was Washburn's defensive coordinator when the Ichabods built the program. FHSU was 3-8 in 2010 and has posted 4-7 and 5-6 marks the last two falls. For many coaches, Year 3 is when the program starts to turn the corner.
"Year 3 is tough because you are getting some of the guys that you put the time in and recruited and from the old staff yet, probably seniors, and you hope that they blend together," Schurig said.
Partridge and Schurig -- the current deans of MIAA coaches -- and Higgins, whose Hornets accomplished one of the biggest MIAA turnarounds in recent league history, discussed what factors were needed for building a program and making a jump at conference Media Day in early August.
All three said winning close games, winning at least one game against a top-tier opponent and strong quarterback play were the top reasons. Schurig especially pointed out offensive and defensive line play -- an area he felt FHSU is a little behind the top teams. Scheduling is a factor, too.
"(FHSU) definitely have some guys in place, that you are like, 'Yeah, they are as good as anybody we play,'" Schurig said. "Their kids played hard up front, but when you play Missouri Western or Northwest Missouri or some of those schools, their defensive front was better."
* * *
Under Brown, FHSU is 9-13, but has lost three home games by three points or fewer and hasn't beaten a top-tier opponent.
"When you look at our conference now, going into next year, there is a couple teams that as the season goes on, you will say, 'Yeah, those are the two best,' " Schurig said. "You are not quite sure who it is going to be, but the teams kind of separate themselves. There are six or seven teams, they are all very equal. Some teams are just winning those games and getting the breaks that they need to and just getting the job done, and the other ones are just not getting the job done."
On the whole, teams normally split half of their "close" games. However, to make a jump, a team likely has to improve their record in close contests. In 2003, Washburn went 2-2 in games decided by 14 points or fewer. They also finished minus-6 in turnover margin and averaged 25.8 points, 198.9 passing yards and 372 total yards a game.
In 2004, Washburn went 3-1 decided by 14 points or fewer and improved to plus-12 in turnover margin, Offensively, the Ichabods averaged 33.9 points, 249.2 passing yards and 424 total yards a game with quarterback Tyler Schuerman. Missouri Western made its jump with Kasey Waterman, who left the Griffons as the MIAA's all-time leading passer.
"To win at any league, to win at any level, that's got to be an outstanding position for you," University of Central Missouri coach Jim Svoboda said of quarterback. "I can't think of any championship-level team that haven't had a very good player at that position."
Last year, Emporia State had a big year from veteran Tyler Eckenrode, who eventually earned all-Region honors.
"You do have to have consistent play where you don't have to bring somebody in to replace him, or play musical chairs at quarterback," Higgins said. "I have been down that road before, and it's not really fun."
Like Washburn, Emporia State had a big uptick in passing yards en route to its turnaround. In 2011, ESU averaged 30.5 points and 243.8 passing yards per contest. The Hornets finished 2-4 in games decided by 14 points or fewer.
Last year, ESU averaged 35.8 points, 321.8 passing yards and went 5-0 in games decided by 14 points or fewer. The Hornets had a one-point difference in scoring defense and had a worse turnover margin in 2012 than 2011.
Fort Hays has started three QBs in two years under Brown and has been average under center compared to the rest of the conference. Last year, the Tigers averaged 23 points and 173.8 passing yards per contest. FHSU went 5-3 in games decided by 14 points or fewer. This season, sophomore Treveon Albert will start under center.
"It is Treveon's team," Tiger junior running back Edward Smith said. "He runs the team. We feed off of him. If he does everything correct, we do everything correct. It's all on him."
Partridge pointed to a close loss to Northwest Missouri in Year 3 as a big confidence booster for his team. Schurig said a road win at a quality Missouri Southern team helped change the tide.
"It comes to confidence eventually," Schurig said. "You have to have the talent in place, and if you win one of those games against an upper echelon team, then your kids start to believe 'We can beat anybody,' and then you win another one and another one."
For Emporia, the big win came in Week 6. The Hornets were 5-0 and traveled to 1-4 Southwest Baptist (Mo.) University. ESU fell down 15-0 at halftime. Eckenrode was hurt. In the second half, he had no ability to run the ball. Still, he guided Emporia State to a 19-15 victory.
"It's easy for them to buy in when things are going well, but we faced some adversity and our players stuck together and defensively, we got stops when we need to," Higgins said.
* * *
Finally, scheduling can have a big impact on improvement -- and this plays a big role for Fort Hays in 2013. In Emporia's 5-6 season in 2012, the Hornets went 0-4 against ranked teams. Last year, the Hornets finished 0-2 against ranked teams with both losses coming late in the season.
This fall, MIAA teams play zero, one or two non-conference games because of the unbalanced schedule. Fort Hays is one of three of the 14 MIAA teams that plays two non-conference games, both at home, according to D2football.com. As well, FHSU faces bottom-feeder Lincoln (Mo.) University on the road and gets Southwest Baptist, another struggling program, at home.
Since 2006, Fort Hays is 9-2 in non-conference games and 4-1 against SBU and Lincoln combined. The Tigers also face Emporia State in the season opener Sept. 5. The home team has won each game in the series since 2005.
The Tigers also get University of Nebraska-Kearney at home and face two teams on the road, Central Missouri and Lindenwood, that they narrowly lost to last year.
Fort Hays will face three national powers in Washburn, Northwest Missouri and Missouri Western. As powerful as the conference is, upsets do happen.
Last season, MIAA teams were just 35-41 at home in league games, and just 24-22 in 2011.
Last season, three of Division II's top five upsets belonged to the MIAA, according to masseyratings.com. Oct. 13 featured 6-5 Missouri Southern defeating Missouri Western, 31-30, on the road, easily Division II's No. 1 upset.
With a couple close wins, improved quarterback play and some helpful scheduling, FHSU could win more than six games for the first time since a 7-3 mark in 1996.
"If you can get some of those wins that were losses the year before, those tight games, and turn the corner, Year 3 is the year that you start to see that," Schurig said.

Lullaby for the Longest Night, A
1. A Lullaby for the Longest Night
You sweetly slumber, safe and sound,
We form a ring in darkest hour
And pass the light of hope around.
Your father would be at our side
But still must journey far and wide.
Though stony roads keep us apart
We hold mettarë in his heart.
Should he feel cold and quite alone
Where bitter wind chills to the bone,
Without a fire, his rations short,
We will warm him with our thought.
And if, towards the close of day,
His weary steps should go astray
As dark clouds hide the stars above,
We will guide him with our love.
Perhaps, though far from journey's end,
He shares this evening with a friend.
They halt their stride, in cave or mire,
To say the words and light the fire.
Tomorrow we will feast in hall
And laugh in spite of shadow's pall,
And sing the songs in which we store
A little grace from Numenor.
And if in music's soft caress
You feel the touch of Westernesse,
Your father knows it's not in vain
That Rangers walk in frost and rain.
So, when the midnight hour is near,
We strike a spark against our fear,
And light a candle, fair and white,
A beacon calling in the night.
As sheltered from the shadow's power
You sweetly slumber, safe and sound,
We form a ring in darkest hour
And pass the light of hope around.

Hypnotherapy for IBS
04/27/12 1 Comment | Posted by Renew Life in Digestive Health
Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a functional bowel disorder that involves abdominal pain and discomfort along with abnormal bowel habits of constipation, diarrhea, or an alternation between the two. Symptoms outside the digestive tract are also common in IBS. An estimated 15 to 20 percent of people are affected by IBS, though only a small proportion of them see a gastroenterologist for the condition. That said, half of all gastroenterologist outpatient visits are for IBS, and it is also one of the most common gastrointestinal conditions diagnosed by general practitioners. IBS is more common among women, with a female/male ratio of about 2:1.
IBS treatment is based on addressing individual symptoms, but because of the range of symptoms involved in IBS, pharmacological treatment is not always effective. Dietary changes and supplements can be very helpful for people with IBS. Certain psychological treatments have also been found to benefit IBS patients, including cognitive behavioral therapy, relaxation therapy, stress management, and gut-directed hypnotherapy.
In a recent study published in the American Journal of Gastroenterology, gut-directed hypnotherapy was evaluated by utilizing hypnotherapy in the hospital and psychology private practice settings as opposed to specialized hypnotherapy centers in order to more closely reflect a widely available treatment option. The study found that gut-directed hypnotherapy, which is based on muscular and mental relaxation, and general hypnotic suggestions used to either focus on symptoms or distract from them, resulted in a significant reduction in IBS symptoms, especially sensory symptoms like pain and bloating.
When comparing the response rate to hypnotherapy against the response rate of other new IBS drugs on the market, the researchers stated, "hypnotherapy seems to be at least as effective and without any known side effects."
The Difference between Gluten Sensitivity and Celiac Disease
10/22/10 0 Comments | Posted by tfritz in General Health, Solutions
Gastrointestinal problems are among the most common complaints heard by doctors today. Still, many people fail to look beyond the symptoms when seeking relief, and as a result problems can worsen over time. Knowing that roughly 80 percent of our natural immune defenses are found in the digestive tract, it is time to reconsider how we deal with digestive issues—and with that comes getting a better understanding of certain things that can affect a healthy gut.
If you have persistent gas and bloating, abdominal pain, or chronic constipation or diarrhea, here's something you should know: More and more Americans are finding out that sensitivity to gluten may be at the root of their problems. But is it just gluten sensitivity or is it celiac disease? And what's the difference? The following is a brief overview:
Gluten sensitivity is a broad term used to include many different types of sensitivity to gluten, a protein found in wheat. People who are sensitive to gluten may experience a wide range of symptoms, from mild inflammation of the intestinal lining to abdominal discomfort and occasional irritable bowel, but not everyone with gluten sensitivity develops celiac disease (those who don't are considered Non-celiac Gluten Sensitive, or NCGS).
However, people with gluten sensitivity may be experiencing the beginning stages of celiac disease. In essence, gluten sensitivity implies that the immune system cannot tolerate gluten in the diet. As a result, it forms protective antibodies to try to neutralize the gluten, in the same way it reacts to harmful bacteria or viruses. When these autoimmune reactions cause intestinal damage, a person is then considered to have celiac disease.
Celiac disease is genetic and in some cases may be triggered by a traumatic physical or emotional event. More than 2 million Americans suffer from celiac disease, which can include severe abdominal pain and bloating, chronic diarrhea, constipation, weight loss, fatigue, and in some cases even severe anxiety and depression, skin problems, as well as bone and joint pain.
The bottom line is this: If you have unexplained, persistent gastrointestinal issues and you and your doctor can't seem to figure out why, gluten sensitivity may be the culprit. The best way to determine if you are truly gluten sensitive or if you have celiac disease is to have a simple stool test performed. Visit www.enterolab.com to find out more, and once you have the results you and your health care practitioner can take the next step toward better gastrointestinal health.

Play #2
Anastasia Krupnik
Adapted by Meryl Friedman
From the book by Lois Lowry
Ten-year-old Anastasia is opinionated, sassy and funny. Really funny. Of course, she also has a funny name, but she'll make up for it in this offbeat story taken right from the pages of her diary. It's about all the things she loves—and hates—and what she plans to do about them. This memorable story from the Newbery Medal-winning author of The Giver is a wonderful portrait of childhood and family life, complete with all its ups and downs.

It would be nice but only after Qt's licencing issues etc. are fixed. Qt has bright future in mobile world, but developement in desktop side is lacking (at least so have I heard). This would probably fix that and make it even more instresting and complete toolkit. In a long run this is probably the best for both sides.
However it really should happen in transission of KDE and Qt 5. Breaking backward compatibility twice in year or two doesn't sound good. Tt also should be done in next couple of years, planning something which might happen in next five years sounds stupid in a world where technology developes as fast as it does - or at least I think so.
But how should I understand something like this: "Albert also does not agree with the Qt licensing requirements."?
Qt can also be sold for proprietary software. KDE has to hand over copyright to Nokia so then Nokia can give it back as GPL'd code.

Easy and stylish invites
Delicate Realm Address Labels Magnet Street's design studio was easy to use. I found the perfect card for my event. The design artists even helped me create a Thank You card to match my invites. I am very happy with the results.
