Graduate Admissions Policy
Admission Policy for Graduate Training
The department encourages applications from students showing evidence of superior potential for graduate study. This includes a broad undergraduate preparation, a minimum last 60 hours of undergraduate coursework average of at least "B" (3.00), a minimum of 18 semester hours of credit in psychology that includes one course in statistics (or its equivalent) and one course in laboratory experimental psychology, and satisfactory scores on the verbal, quantitative, analytic portions of the Graduate Record Examination (GRE).
For international applicants, Kent State requires evidence of English language proficiency. Applicants must obtain a minimum TOEFL score of 525 (197 on the computerized version) or a minimum MELAB score of 77
Over the past five years we have averaged approximately 320 applicants per year, with the clinical and experimental programs each admitting about 10 students annually. Each class has been quite diverse on several characteristics. Our students have come from undergraduate institutions from California to New York, and have typically included some non-traditional students. Approximately 25 percent of those admitted have been minority or international students. The gender composition has averaged about 65 percent women and 35 percent men. The student's GRE scores have been typically in the 550-750 range. The mean GPA has been 3.75.
It is the policy of the department to admit only those students whose goal is a Ph.D. in psychology and who the Admissions Committee considers likely to complete the doctorate. The M.A. degree is viewed as a step toward obtaining the Ph.D. Although estimates of attrition are difficult to provide since many personal (non-academic) and unforeseen factors may be involved in a student's leaving the program, less than 5% of the students who enter the program subsequently have not earned their Ph.D.
Only students who are interested in full-time graduate study are considered for admission. Graduate students in psychology must accumulate a minimum of 24 credit hours within the calendar year. Students unable to maintain this level of academic activity are not considered for graduate work in the department. Students are expected to enroll in courses during the summer as well as during the academic year.
The deadline for applications to be considered for Fall admission to the Psychology Graduate program is December 15. All application materials, including transcripts and GRE scores must be received by this date. Admissions are considered only for the Fall semester. We only admit full-time students who are committed to attaining the Ph.D. Students are not admitted to the graduate programs on a probationary basis. We do not admit students on any non-degree status.

Customer Raves & Reviews
Excellent Quality and Easy to Do
The bride and groom chose a restaurant for the rehearsal dinner that serves family style. We thought it was important for the guests to know what foods were being served in case they didn't like something spicy or had allergies to shell fish. Magnet Street offered an easy way to make a rehearsal dinner menu card. We could choose the colors and font we wanted. We could edit the card to make it the way we want and save it to the account. Then the bride and groom could go online and check it out to make suggestions. It was their idea to add the beverages to the menu. We wet back and forth until we got it just the way be both liked it. We got the final product in about a week. The quality of the paper was outstanding. The card layed across the plate so nicely. I would recommend Magnet Street products because you can change any of thier items into whatever you need. We used them for our rehearsal dinner invitation, too.

Patio fruit
Since gaining our allotment last year, our patio container garden has fallen by the wayside a little, which I have spoken about before.We have lots of large deep pots standing empty for much of the year, being dug over by cats and colonized by weeds. I have been debating how best to use the patio for some months.
Patios have their advantages and disadvantages as growing spaces. Whilst you are restricted to growing a relatively narrow range of compact crops in pots, high maintenance plants that require specialist feeding or frost protection can lend themselves to container growing. Patios tend to regulate heat over the course of a day, the slabs warming up faster in the day and losing that heat slowly overnight. They may even provide a longer growing season than bare earth.
Our allotment also has advantages and disadvantages. On the one hand, it has deep open rich soil in which most things will thrive with a little attention. On the other hand is a paradise for winged things - everything from sparrows to Canada geese; and the evidence of the war on birds is everywhere. Metres and metres of netting cover fruit trees and in some cases, whole plots are caged. Apart from two very thorny gooseberries that should look after themselves, we have declined to install any other fruit on our small plot.
Back to our patio - there are no winged things, or rodents. Thanks to the huge cat and fox population, my neighbours elaborate bird feeding station has been visited only by a very aggressive magpie. Which makes our neighborhood perfect fruit growing territory from a pest point of view. All manner of fruit can be grown in containers. The cats are less likely to dig over containers with large, perennial plants in than they are seedlings. The trees and bushes will add some vertical interest to the garden and make the most productive use of space. Unfortunately, there is a lag time of a few years before trees will produce fruit, making me wish I had made the investment years ago. As that did not happen, there is no time to start like the present.
The initial investment in large containers, soil and plants is large in comparison with a packet of seeds, but the pay off is a relatively low maintenance, high output garden. Apart from regular watering and some seasonal pruning and possibly some pest or frost protection, the 'gardener's shadow' is less important to success than growing annuals.
This year we have invested in an apple on a dwarfing rootstock, which will restrict its height to a maximum of two metres and a cherry tree of similar stature. Thanks to their height, they can sit against a short north facing wall and catch the sun, turning a cold and dark edge of the patio into something more productive and pretty. This year we plan to add a self fertile kiwi which will be trained up a rose arch. We have added a grape that will be trained as a standard and are now considering a fig tree, which fruit best when its roots are restricted. If I had space to overwinter one indoors, I would consider a citrus tree also.
On a personal note, there is something wholesome and soothing about a tree, especially a fruit tree, something that stirs in me when I look out over the garden and see the twigs starting to bud. Which is a good enough reason as any to go forth and plant.

Very interesting post.
We have been buying a lot of dwarf fruit and nut trees because as I (we) get older, neither of us like to climb ladders anymore.
Good luck with your purchases.
Do you know if anything has been done article wise on the best way to set up containers for gardening? Like mixes of dirt, drainage requirements, etc.? I would like to do some container gardening, but so far I have had limited to know success.
Thanks again for your article!

I completely agree that it's stirring when they start to bud - we planted a morello cherry tree last year and every step of that -- budding, blossom, sparse first year fruiting -- was a delight last year.
I'm thinking of expanding our patio fruit tree collection this year - I don't want to give over any more of our limited bed space to fruit trees but would like some more all the same. Our neighbours have gone away for a year and left their patio plum tree in our care so at least we'll have something to cover us until ours start producing :)

LindaG - it depends very much on the crop. I haven't come across articles online, but The Edible Container Garden by Michael Guerra has a comprehensive crop section that explains the requirements of each plant, including fruit trees. It is an excellent book. The only certainty is that the bigger the container the better, as larger pots will allow better root development and retain water more effectively.
Good luck with your trees everyone. I would love to add a peach, but have never known anyone grow one without it succumbing to leaf curl. And possibly an espalier Morello against our North wall...

Thanks Aurora. I will be looking for that book this weekend. Much appreciated and good luck this year!

The wounded, ill and injured as well as their families took part in the Wounded Warrior Battalion change of command ceremony late on Tuesday.
"It is a bittersweet day, but far more sweet than bitter," said Marine Col. Willard A. Buhl, the commanding officer of Wounded Warrior Regiment. "I don't know if it gets much better than this in the Marine Corps."
Nearly 300 people ranging from friends, family, Marines, sailors and civilians took part as Lt. Col. Nicholas E. Davis relinquished command of Wounded Warrior Battalion East to Lt. Col. Leland Suttee on Tuesday. The battalion is charged with providing continuous, far-reaching leadership to Marines and sailors worldwide in order to ensure all wounded warriors and families successfully transition back to full duty or civilian life.
"We are losing the most experienced uniformed leader in the Marine Corps for our wounded, ill and injured," Buhl said. "Just a hair shy of three years and you've done a fantastic job ... I know there is more to come."
Suttee is prepared for a draw down in the number of combat wounded Marines and sailors as the Marine Corps draws out of Afghanistan, he said.
"I'm proud of the Marine Corps and what it does here," Suttee said. "I'm even more proud to be a part of this. If there is something equivalent to leading Marines in combat it would be to take care of the wounded, ill and injured."
The mission has always and will continue to evolve as time goes on, said Suttee.
"The bottom line is that the complex cases are our responsibility from now on throughout the future," Suttee said. "And we will continue to do the amazing job we are doing."
For Davis, leaving Wounded Warrior Battalion is an emotional day but he knows the quality of care and compassion will only improve in the future, he said.
"All of this was started by Gen. Amos when he was the Marine Expeditionary Force commander," Davis said. "Ever since then we've been doing what it takes to care for our Marines and sailors."
Serving the families and interacting with the Marines are the two things he will miss most as he moves on to be the battalion commander of 2nd Battalion, 9th Marines, he said.
"I hope the community will continue to support their vets as time progresses," Davis said. "We're headlines now because of Iraq, Afghanistan and the news. Once we're off the headlines I hope the communities will continue to support their veterans and families."
"What the personnel of Wounded Warrior Battalion do is more than just a bumper sticker," Davis said. "We stay in the fight — always,"

- Period:
18th Century
This rare forged iron chest evokes the danger and excitement of traveling the high seas during the 18th century. Also known as an armada chest, a sturdy lockbox such as this would have protected the valuables on a ship in pirate-infested waters. Comprised of wooden panels intersected with iron straps, this chest features an impressive double-key lock, as well as a heavily lined interior, both of which would have made breaking in a near-impossibility. Almost certainly crafted in Augsburg or Nuremburg, this chest is very similar to those taken to sea by naval officers, who would have bolted them to the deck to prevent movement by man or sea. To find such a wonderful, well-preserved example is quite rare.

Women & Gender
Ensuring equity between women and men is the key to unleashing the full potential of communities to transform their lives. Mercy Corps addresses the unmet needs of women and girls in places where they have been marginalized and disempowered, while recognizing that it is vital to involve men and boys in the process of helping women and girls claim their equal place.
Throughout our programs, we consider the needs of both genders and build on the courage and resourcefulness of women to help them improve their families and communities.
All stories about Women & Gender
Haiti: Female entrepreneurs bounce back
Haiti is a land of micro-entrepreneurs. In every town, on every street, shopkeepers, traders and craftsmen are working hard to provide their communities with the essential goods and services of daily life — and in so doing, lift their own families from poverty.
Guatemala: Women stake their claim in the land of machismo
Their roots of land conflict may date to the Spanish conquistadors, but today we're giving women the tools to resolve them without resorting to lawyers or guns.
Indonesia: From the source: Mothers provide perfect nourishment
Infant mortality remains high in Indonesia, the result of acute malnutrition and illness. Breastmilk imparts key nutrients to protect babies' health, yet many mothers are misinformed and choose to feed their infants formula or other foods.
Tajikistan: A new hope for new mothers
Traditionally, new mothers in Tajikistan were taken care of for 40 days after giving birth, kept from household chores and even brought food in their room, where they spent all their time bonding with and caring for their newborn.
Iraq: Teachers celebrate women in Iraq
It's fitting that teachers from our Women's Awareness and Inclusion (WAI) program got together to celebrate International Women's Day — many of them for the first time.
Ethiopia: Dowries to degrees: An education for Ethiopia's young women
Mercy Corps is helping girls in one of Ethiopia's most remote regions explore a future full of new possibilities by providing them with scholarships to complete secondary school.
Tunisia: Organizing a movement for her new country
Sabrine Wafi is a dynamo. Young and filled with energy, it's difficult to keep up with her. More than once during our conversation, I found myself asking her to hold up so I could wrap my head around her ideas.
Afghanistan: International Women's Day: Working hard for our futures
While we at the Mercy Corps office in Kabul celebrate International Women's Day, it remains a sad reality that much of the rest of Afghanistan is not.
Indonesia: Healthier babies in Jakarta's poorest neighborhoods
Did you know that a father holding his infant on his shoulder at the end of the day may be the best way to soothe a cranky child? The baby is often comforted by the father's heartbeat and his calm demeanor, which relieves a tired and stressed mother after a long day of infant care.

This is one of the things I have upcycled for the Cornucopia festival that my class is working on next month. This was made from a skirt in size 12 (I made the pattern on Ai using Aldrich).
It's reversible because the skirt was lined and so is the top. It has a lace up back which adds a bit of ease for getting the top on and off.
I don't have a zigzag eyelet on my sewing machine so I made 10 fairly short buttonholes. As it turned out, that is probably best because I laced the top with ribbon.
I tried to line this completely by machine, but I forgot how and the underarms where too awkward a shape to sew like that, so I did those by hand. It took me days to sew because of those difficulties (and I'm learning French, which takes ages).

Analytics in the global steel industry
A sharper view
With an increasingly competitive environment, global steel companies are searching for ways to gain a competitive advantage. While steelmakers have employed analytics for years, from process simulation to laboratory management systems to computerized maintenance management systems integrated with real-time production data, new analytics tools are available to help companies sharpen their view.
Analytics is the practice of using data to drive business strategy and performance. Increasingly, decision makers from organizations across different sectors within the global economy have a wide range of data available to them. A gradual but pervasive evolution of analytics techniques in the global steel industry is expected over the next few years and has the potential to influence all major areas of the manufacturing value chain. Analytics can assist steel companies to make better decisions in different areas of their business, including product costs and margins, customer insights and demand, risk management, capital investments, production and operations safety, suppliers, and global supply chain

It would be hard to decide, but it would most likely be a close combat between the following: Chanel, Dior, Caron, YSL, Guerlain, Hermes and Givenchy. All of them are, in my opinion, outstanding in terms of versatility, creativity and quality.
I was inspired by the thread by phi, planning to build his entire wardrobe from Bond no.9 frags. Made me wonder, if you could only wear fragrances from one house, designer or niche, which one would you chose and why?
Keep in mind that in this scenario, all your fragrances have to be from this house, so you might want to look for versatility and range of fragrances as well as quality.
It would be hard to decide, but it would most likely be a close combat between the following: Chanel, Dior, Caron, YSL, Guerlain, Hermes and Givenchy. All of them are, in my opinion, outstanding in terms of versatility, creativity and quality.
Easy for me - Chanel. Between the Exclusifs and their main line, all my needs would be met.
My 2 favourite Frags of all time are Fahrenheit and Dior Homme Intense, so I'd have to go for Dior.
Supertough choice. Perhaps Etat Libre d'Orange for me, the quirky line has a pretty broad spectrum of scents, from traditional fresh (Eloge), or masculine (Je suis), to leathers (Rien, Tom of Finland), florals (Jasmin et cigarette, rossy, etc.) and more. But Chanel would also do, with its exclusives.
Hard for me to say since I'm relatively new to fragrances. I like a lot of different things, but I'd want a house that has a LOT of choices, most of which would be fairly different from one another.
I guess if I had to choose, it'd be Creed since I like a good amount of their stuff, but not enough to buy it. So, I assume that I'd like them more if I could only wear stuff from Creed. Plus, Aventus is my comfort scent, so I would have a hard time being without that.
- - - - - - - - - - - - -
During my limited time/experience, I've found that I like most of the scents I've tried from Chanel and Tom Ford....with the edge going to Chanel.
"We don't fail because we aim too high and miss, but because we aim too low and hit" - Les Brown
"When you're all alone, when no one is watching, and there's no one around to impress, that is who you are" - Greg Laurie
Chanel for me.
Only one? Oh well, sweat, sweat. It would have to be Dior.
Creed as I like them.
Tauer for me.
Considering it'd include the Pentachord line and Zeta - there's my fresh translucent fragrances. Then you got your heavy winter stuff - the classic line - throwing Tableau in there too and that'd be gravy
This choice would CLOSELY be followed by Aftelier
Tough call... It would have to be either Malle, Micallef or Mona di Orio. If I had to choose, then I guess Malle.
Current Top Favorites:
1) Portrait of a Lady original formula (EdP Frédéric Malle)
2) Giorgio for Men vintage/V.I.P. for Men (Giorgio Beverly Hills)
3) Dia Man vintage edt (Amouage)
4) Anat Fritz Original Formula and Classical (Anat Fritz) - tie
4) Lalfeorosa (O'driù) - tie
6) Les Nombres d'Or Vetyver (Mona di Orio)
7) Captain vintage (Molyneux)
8) Tzora (Anat Fritz)
9) Javanese Patchouli (Zegna) - tie
9) Monsieur de Givenchy vintage (Givenchy) - tie
9) Coeur de Vetiver Sacré (L'Artisan) - tie
9) X for Men (Clive Christian) - tie
9) Patou pour Homme Privé (Jean Patou) - tie
9) Oud Shamash (The Different Company) - tie
Creed or Guerlain here.
Between Dior, Amouage, and Creed. Thing is Creed has the deepest bench, but I still don't know.
Chanel. I like all their frags.
For mainstream, I'd say Chanel. Niche would be L'Artisan.
We cannot live only for ourselves. A thousand fibers connect us with our fellow men. ~Herman Melville
I would have chosen Caron, but that much strength all the time would be too much, so Dior, mostly vintage formulae, as I like the range within the house best: all Poisons, Diorella, Diorama, Miss Dior, Miss Dior Cherie, Fahrenheit, Dioressence, Dune, Diorling, Diorissimo, Eau Sauvage, La Collection. Set for most every occasion.
Designer: Chanel Niche: Creed
Don't know how to decide between the 2....
frederic malle........ but man i would be sad
1. Dior Homme Original
2. Musc Ravaguer
3. Portrait of a Lady
4. Noir de Noir
5. L Instant Guerlain pour Homme Extreme
6. New Haarlem
7. Pure Coffee
8. Blu Mediterraneo Sicilian Almond
9. Rose 31
10. Spiritueuse Double Vanille
It would have to be Creed - I am usually in love with most of their fragrances.
Editions de Parfums - I like the fragrances and the line has enough versatility for my preferences.
One house only? YSL.
At this point, Hermes. I like the most number of scents so far from this house out of any other house. Runners up: Guerlain, Chanel, YSL. I have yet to try many Dior, but I would like to work on that.
I send thee this sweet perfume a fragrance to the fragrant, as one would offer wine to the god of wine.
Escentric Molecules (especially so if it includes Kinski and Beautiful Mind)
I wear either Dior Homme or Dior Homme Intense about 80% of the time these days and I'm also a big fan of Farenheit, so it would have to be Dior for me. Creed or Guerlain would be close seconds. I think between those 3 houses I could be completely satisfied fragrancewise for the rest of my life.
I own the most Penhaligon's, and I'd have a hard time living without Sartorial, so I guess it's an easy choice for me. They've also got a nice, large range, so I wouldn't be too limited in style.
For mainstream, it would be Guerlain with Chanel a really close 2nd.
For niche, it would be Frederic Malle.
Comme Des Garcons or Guerlain
Discover my Guest Reviewer Of The Day here
If this meant I had acess to their entire range. Which is to say all reformulations, and every fragrance ever made by said house, whether discontinued or not, in all concentrations then Guerlain would be my top pick. I could put together a very sizable collection that way.
If it were only fragrances in production then the choice becomes a difficult one. In the end it will probably be Annick Goutal though despite the lightness of their scents. If I did not have acess to their fragrances I'd be unable to wear many fragrances in summer. Plus they have a good lineup of winter scents as well.
If it were mainstream it would be a toss up between Guerlain and Chanel and if it were nich it would have to be Malle.
Creed, but I'd hate to be put to that limitation. Tom Ford, Chanel, Guerlain, Malle, Amouage, Acqua di Parma and Profumum all number among my favorite houses as well. I think MFK will soon be added to that list also.
Creed, they have everything covered.
Chanel or Creed
Tough one but I'll go with Creed.
If I lived in a colder climate though I'd choose Tom Ford (I love the private blend line but find they work best during fall and especially winter).
I own proportionately more Creeds than any other house, so they would be the logical answer. I would never want to be faced with such a scenario though.
Chanel. But I'd be missing Hermes terribly! And I'm keeping all my pre-Wasser Shalimar, no one can stop me.
The nose wants what it wants!
I am torn between Chanel and Guerlain...
Would have to be Chanel.
It would have to be Guerlain for me. Chanel would be close - I'd hate to have to give up Egoiste and Anteus - but there are more Guerlain fragrances that I love.
Oh, but how could I lose Rive Gauche and Eau Sauvage? No, the one house would have to be my house, and all the fragrances in it

Dior, if vintage. If only current formulae then probably Chanel including Les Exclusifs
Out of less than 20 fragrances of mine, at least six or seven are by L'Artisan- not to mention the ones I owned in the past!
So, it must be L'Artisan!
"Your fragrance with a fume of iodine" L. Cohen
Amouage because it's quality for real!
sailing the Oceans of Boredom...
Probably Guerlain. Have quite a few of theirs and could easily buy some more.
Then again, they do not have Kouros...
For me I'd go with either the Thierry Mugler house, the Givenchy house or the Burberry house.
Hey BN'ers come check out my blog/channel for reviews/unboxings/first impressions! Feel free to subscribe and, thanks much. TheScentNose.
As of today, Frederic Malle.
Creed. I think they cover all bases very well.
I'm gonna have to say Creed as well.
... it would be Chanel.
Mirror mirror on the wall, who's the fairest of them all?
I would have to say Nina Ricci.
Tough one, but I think I'd have to go with Comme des Garcons if I had to choose.
Dior, Chanel, Creed in that order. None of them are perfect but they all have stuff I could work with. (1 not 3 I know)
I think Chanel or Dior i know that's 2, but i'm dithering. Ok Dior
Based on what I know so far and what works well with my chemistry...Dior.

SA Rugby magazine discovers that Elton Jantjies' rugby career has been shaped by his father.
'Yes, sir. No, sir.' All of Thomas Jantjies' answers to my questions begin or end with 'sir'. It's not treatment I would expect to receive from Elton Jantjies' father, who is a regimental sergeant major (RSM) in the South African Army, but it shows the disciplined and respectful way Elton was brought up by his parents.
By the latter stages of the Currie Cup, Lions coach John Mitchell didn't want any of the media speaking to Elton due to his significant rise and the associated interest from the fourth estate, but his father provides the greatest insight. Not just as a supportive parent, but sergeant-major Jantjies also coached Elton as an U14 player at Klerksdorp High, where they won the Beeld Trophy.
As a member of the army, Thomas was often transferred to different locations around the country, which meant settling down was tough for Elton and his younger brother Altonio – who plays for the Bulls U19 side. But in both cases wherever the pair, who Thomas describes as 'best friends', went, they excelled at sport. Most of that comes down to the guidance and structured support they received at home.
Elton was born in Graaff-Reinet in the Eastern Cape, but by 13 he'd lived in Cape Town, Pretoria, Potchefstroom and Mooi River. He played provincial age-group rugby and cricket, and in 2004 when the family relocated to Cape Town again, his dad admits to being a little worried about how Elton would react.
'The moving was tough on the family, but it was out of our hands. It was fine at primary school, but when we got back to Cape Town, I became concerned about moving Elton as he was getting older.
'Being involved in the defence force helped with the disciplinary aspect of raising the boys, because parents have to teach that to a certain level. If you teach them discipline, their attitude changes. If you have a positive attitude, positive things happen.
'That helped with all the disruptions, but I knew Elton had to settle at high school. We only stayed in Cape Town for two years, and it was all up and down. When we were leaving, everyone was talking about the future and whether Elton should stay.'
Elton finished his Grade 9 year at Paarl Gymnasium, where he played U15A rugby and 1st XI cricket, while he also represented the Boland U19 cricket team in the same year. With the family heading back to Pretoria, Thomas wanted Elton to stay near them.
He boarded at Hoërskool Florida on the West Rand, where he finished his schooling.
'I thought of keeping Elton at Gym, but from my side, it wasn't about the two provinces as I knew they had good structures. The parent in me came out and human nature took over, and I wanted to have my boys nearby and for them to grow up with me.'
Elton lists his father as his greatest mentor, along with Carlos Spencer, his hero. Elton and Altonio have always been close to their parents, and although in Elton's case his father was also his coach, Thomas is not an over-domineering figure as has been the case with some other younger sportspeople.
Thomas is grateful for what the Kiwi pair of John Mitchell and Spencer have done for this year's SA U20 flyhalf, who made his starting debut in the Currie Cup against the Blue Bulls, aged 19.
'Elton's developed a lot under those two,' says Thomas. 'I told the coaches and the union that I've signed Elton off to his coaches. I'll always be his father, but John and Carlos are his father figures now. I'm impressed with them, and everyone from the doctor to the conditioning coaches. I liked what John told him. He said that if Elton has a problem at 3am or whenever, he must get hold of him because he's always available, 24 hours a day. There aren't many coaches who'd say that.
'In the past few months I've seen Elton grow. He's thinking like an adult. His body language is so different to how it was at junior level.'
Most of the hype – rightly or wrongly – has been around Jantjies' SA U20 team-mate Pat Lambie, but under the guidance of Mitchell and Spencer, Jantjies has also delivered consistent performances throughout the Currie Cup.
Although Mitchell believes he's good enough, he doesn't think Jantjies should be rushed into the Springbok squad for the Grand Slam tour, simply because of injury and conditioning concerns. With Morné Steyn set to be rested, Butch James only expected back from shoulder injury in November and Peter Grant in Japan, Jantjies and Lambie were viewed as the best candidates.
Mitchell stated after the Bulls game in mid-September that it would be short-sighted to put Jantjies in without him having played Super Rugby, and he hasn't changed his view.
'Elton's still young and isn't as strong and conditioned as he could be,' says Mitchell. 'He's made strides and has lost some body fat, but is still carrying a few niggles. He'll benefit from a proper 15-week off-season and it's more important he lasts the whole of 2011 and that people don't just look at one tour. If he's rested, he'll prosper and thrive for us and South African rugby. He'll be a real asset.
'Mentally it won't do him any damage if results don't go the Boks' way, but the sensible move would be to give him a good pre-season. That would help South African rugby for four years, not just four weeks. Coaches owe it to the individual to prosper and not to degenerate. With some young players, when their performances don't go to plan initially, they tend to be thrown away. If Elton makes the squad, the Bok coaching staff must be transparent with their aims for him.'
Former All Blacks flyhalf and Jantjies' backline coach at the Lions, Spencer, reiterates Mitchell's concerns.
'Elton really is one for the future. The only problem is he's carrying a few injuries and we had to work hard on him during the week in the latter stages of the Currie Cup to get him on the field. He was carrying a bad foot injury, and that hindered his goal-kicking practice during the week. That's the reason he dipped in his averages against the Bulls and Sharks late on. If he had been able to do his normal amount of kicking in the build-up, he would have had the confidence and wouldn't have had any problems. That's why he needs a good pre-season.'
Despite conditioning concerns, Mitchell, Spencer and Thomas Jantjies all believe Elton could cope with the international step up this November. Jantjies Snr says Elton's proved he can deal with the tough circumstances of having to play out of his age-group throughout his junior career (when he was 16 he played for the Lions U19s, and when he was 17, for the province's U21 side).
'Elton was exposed to the Currie Cup as a young guy,' says Thomas. 'He got the chance to perform, and took it with both hands. I feel he's ready – those same players he's playing with and against will also tour with the Boks. Look at history, James O'Connor played Test rugby aged 18, and Frans Steyn played at 19. I'm not saying Elton should be the first-choice flyhalf, but he's relaxed and comfortable in this competition. If the opportunity comes, he'll take it. He's ready for the outside world. When he was 16 playing against much older guys I was concerned, but he performed. The way he's been playing and the way he's been managed shows he's ready. I'm not worried that the national coach will throw him in the deep end.'
However, if the set-up in the Bok squad is similar to the one in the Tri-Nations and last year's European tour, he's likely to receive little to no coaching. Throwing a young flyhalf into an unsettled and disorganised team wouldn't be the ideal introduction to international rugby.
Whether Jantjies becomes a Bok now, or as Mitchell and Spencer hope, next year, the pair agree that he's something special.
Says Spencer: 'I first trained with him during the Super 14 and noticed his quick feet. Then I watched him play for SA U20, and was encouraged by the way he attacked the gain line and used his physical presence to run at the defence. At the moment he's very quiet on the field, but it's only his opening first-class season and that will improve with time. He will learn how to control a game and our game plan. [Lions centre] Doppies la Grange has also really helped him on the field.
'We're working on his communication, but he's a naturally talented ball-player. There aren't many of those around. We don't have to work on any of his skills, he has all the talent. All we do is show him a few clips of where he went wrong.'
Although Thomas has played an important role in both of his sons' rise to prominence, he will merely guide them along and not interfere excessively. The obvious comparison to make is between the Jantjies brothers and the Rose siblings, Earl and Jody, who – especially in Earl's case – have had a silver pathway to the top of South African rugby, but haven't made it. Their father, Enver, has been viewed as more of a nuisance than aid, but after a lengthy conversation with Thomas, it's clear that isn't the case here and that discipline won't be a problem.
'When Elton was younger I was really involved in his coaching, especially his kicking and his technique. He'd always say to me, "Come Dad, let's go practise kicking or something else." We'd discuss the way he played. Our relationship was such that we trained after hours and did fitness. But now I'm more of a supporter and parent. I trust the coaches on the ground.
'I don't want to comment on the Roses, I don't know them. But what we did with our kids 18 and 19 years ago is what we do with them now. I sort out the discipline at home and if I see something I'm unhappy with, we discuss it. There'll be no ill-discipline. They'll have the same agents from 2008 to 2012, and they'll supply guidance and motivation. If Elton loses direction, the Lions will sort it out, and if Altonio loses direction, the Bulls will sort it out.
'I've always told them to read as much as possible and watch other people and learn lessons from them. Throw away their negatives and keep the positives. They're also focused. If they mess around at home, they know what will happen. Maybe once a month Elton will ask if he can go out late the next weekend, and then I'll pick him up myself.'

The Facebook App Center officially launched a few days ago with iOS, Android, and webpage versions. At first glance, it may appear that Facebook is attempting to challenge the existing app marketplaces found in Apple's App Store or Google Play but this is not the case, at least for now. The App Center instead links to about 600 mobile and web apps that all connect to Facebook. The App Store and Google Play exist as separate apps on mobile devices. In contrast, the App Center resides directly inside of Facebook's mobile and website versions.
As of this writing, the App Center does not show up in my Facebook profile yet but it will soon appear as a link on the left side menus found in both the website and mobile versions. While the link has not yet appeared, you can still check it out by visiting www.facebook.com/appcenter.
The layout is simple enough. As the screen cap shows from my own visit, the App Center shows recommendations based on your own app usage as well as apps that your friends are using. Featured apps are shown prominently at the top and right side of the screen. The web version has menus on the left to help navigate to more apps of interest. For me, the recommended apps section did a good job of showing apps similar to what I already use and showed several that did pique my interest.
While the App Center is not yet a marketplace, instead linking to Facebook friendly apps, Facebook will be allowing developers to feature paid apps as well as free apps with in-game purchases enabled. While there are only about 600 apps available now, look for that number to grow in the coming weeks.

#2 Mount Olive Finishes Weekend Sweep with 9-4 Victory over Baseball in Sunday's Series Finale
April 21, 2013
MISENHEIMER, N.C. - Mount Olive College finished off their Conference Carolinas weekend sweep of Pfeiffer University with a 9-4 victory in Sunday's series-finale at Joe Ferebee Field. The second-ranked Trojans improve to 43-4 overall, 20-3 in league action while dropping the Falcons to 18-29, 11-11.
Pfeiffer struck first in the opening frame after getting out of a jam in the top half of the frame as a one-out walk to Jon Gray, followed by a stolen base, throwing error on the ensuing throw and eventual wild pitch, the Falcons put the first run up without the benefit of a hit in the first inning.
In the five-run third, Mount Olive would take advantage of two defensive mistakes on sacrifice bunt attempts and then string together four-straight singles to help grab their 5-1 lead. The Falcons would get two of the runs back in their half of the third as Aarin Sharpe reached on a hit by pitch and trotted around on Izzy Perez's opposite-field two-run shot down the right field line.
On the third pitch of the fourth, Zak Orrison would immediately get a run back for Mount Olive sending a solo blast to left for a 6-3 advantage. Mount Olive would soon add three more in the sixth as Mike Mercurio took off with a two-run homer to left capping off the frame. Tyler Summers would then get a run back with a monstrous solo blast to left-center cutting the Trojan lead down to 9-4. Very next inning moving to third, Summers would make the defensive play of the weekend for the Falcons diving to his left and making a quick throw to first to record the out.
Pfeiffer will now look towards their 2013 regular season finale on Tuesday hosting UNC Pembroke beginning at 4:00 p.m. from Joe Ferebee Field. Live stats will be available courtesy of http://www.gofalconsports.com.

The Springbok XV team that will be announced next week for the match against the World XV will contain a number of shock selections.
Keo.co.za has reliably learnt the starting line-up for the unofficial Test at Ellis Park on June 3. It differs greatly from several predictions this past week, but at Friday's "captain's runâ€, the thinking in the Bok camp became much clearer. And a source close to the camp confirmed what is an exciting and youthful squad.
Uncapped lock pair Andries Bekker and Johann Muller will combine in the second row, while Ricky Januarie and Meyer Bosman will be the halfback pairing. Also, Bulls inside centre Wynand Olivier is to be switched to the No 13 jersey with De Wet Barry alongside him.
Olivier is considered by many as one of the brightest future Boks and his display in this game will be keenly watched. As expected the wings are experienced duo Gaffie du Toit (left) and Andre Snyman (right). Brent Russell gets his chance at fullback.
But as predicted by this site, AJ Venter, will be asked to captain the team in the absence of John Smit. Venter will be skipper when the Boks play a Free State Shimla side in a warm-up match at Vodacom Park this evening. He is expected to be formally announced as captain only next week though.
He has beaten off the challenge from Wikus van Heerden to lead the team, but the Cats flanker will play in the No 7 jersey alongside Venter who will start at No 8.
Baring injury, it seems coach Jake White and co are using this game to experiment with some youngsters ahead of more important matches later in June. It is unlikely that many of these players will feature against Scotland in Durban on June 10.
The front-row of Deon Carstens, Hanyani Shimange and Lawrence Sephaka will have their work cut out, especially with former Bok strongman Cobus Visagie out to prove a thing or two.
Springbok XV to play the World XV:
15 Brent Russell
14 Andre Snyman
13 Wynand Olivier
12 De Wet Barry
11 Gaffie du Toit
10 Meyer Bosman
9 Ricky Januarie
8 AJ Venter (captain)
7 Wikus van Heerden
6 Joe van Niekerk
5 Johann Muller
4 Andries Bekker
3 Lawrence Sephaka
2 Hanyani Shimange

Animal studies with thymosin beta, a multifunctional tissue repair and regeneration peptide.
AuthorsPhilp D, et al. Show all Journal
Ann N Y Acad Sci. 2010 Apr;1194:81-6. doi: 10.1111/j.1749-6632.2010.05479.x.
Studies in various animal models of disease and repair with thymosin beta(4) (Tbeta(4)), the major actin-sequestering molecule in mammalian cells, have provided the scientific foundation for the ongoing dermal, corneal, and cardiac wound repair multicenter clinical trials. Tbeta(4) has of multiple biological activities, which include down-regulation of inflammatory chemokines and cytokines, and promotion of cell migration, blood vessel formation, cell survival, and stem cell maturation. All of these activities contribute to the multiple wound healing properties that have been observed in animal studies. This paper reviews and discusses the topical and systemic uses of Tbeta(4) in various animal models that demonstrate its potential for clinical use.

Speaking of Being a Slacker...
Do I remember the questions people asked? Some.
Am I going to search through my posts to find the rest? No.
So, here are the answers to the questions I can remember, and if you have any other questions go ahead and ask them in the comments (or email me directly at gentrileeblog(at)gmail(dot)com). I promise I won't take 2 months to answer them this time. haha!
Q: Love your name, where did it come from?? (I get this a lot)
A: My mom had just heard it from a friend once and liked it. Most of the time you'll see them spelled with a J or a Y (on the end). My mom thought the G and the I were more feminine. And Lee is my mom's middle name, so that's where that came from. "The Gentry" is actually a term for people of noble birth or high social class. That explains why I'm so fancy! haha! jk.
Q: What is the "Gentri Lee's Blog Award"?
A: That is a button reserved for those picked as "Blog of the Week".
Q: What is "Blog of the Week"?
A: BOW is something I started to introduce my readers to other bloggers who I feel deserve a little spotlight time. I always pick those bloggers who post often, post lots of nice pictures and interesting posts, and have under 400 followers.
Q: How did you get into blogging?
A: Well, I actually have had this blog for... 3 years (wow) but I didn't really get into blogging or know what it was all about until last Spring (2011) when I was introduced to craft blogs, then fashion blogs, and then it just exploded from there. My BFF and Sister are the ones who told me to start one and basically did it for me. (Who knows if I'd be here today without them.)
Q: What is your favorite movie?
A: Right now?? Tangled. Seriously. I loved that movie from the very first time I saw it. I was a nanny before I moved (two weeks ago) and the girl I nannied watched Tangled pretty much every day. You would think I would have gotten sick of it. Nope. It just made me love it more! haha!
So, that's all I can remember. If you have ANY other (appropriate) questions please ask in the comments or email me at gentrileeblog(at)gmail(dot)com! :D

i always wondered what your name meant, too! it's really pretty and unique.. i'd never heard it before.
i still need to see tangled!
oh so a little while ago you had written a comment to me about your experience in nyc.. and it sounded like a crazy experience! you ran into some crazy people and whatnot! would you give nyc another chance?
i didn't get a chance to respond to you about that comment, but i did think about it! i grew up outside the city.. i haven't had any totally insane or negative people related experiences.. i mean, i've been proposed to on the subway more than once and one time some drunk guy tried to share his french fries with me.. but i do feel safe there. i think there are crazy and nasty people everywhere (unfortunately) but in ny.. if you know where you're going (or put on a face like you do) you generally don't get bothered. i have the worst sense of direction so if i'm in a part of the city i am unfamiliar with i get lost pretty quickly, but a passerby would neeeever know i was lost from the way i conduct myself. yes, so if you did go back, that would be my advice :) act like you belong there :)

I had a big problem with a Babi Black theme. After 2 hard resets, and reinstallations of everything, I found it was the theme. FFS, it shouldn't be so hard to remove faulty software from a phone.
Why doesn't the application manager display this sort of stuff? It took hours to find your most welcome and appreciated solution.

Thanks that solved the problem for me, the only thing I would add is to use a hex editor such as XVI32 - http://www.chmaas.handshake.de/delphi/freeware/xvi

The Bureau of Land Management's National Conservation Lands offers some of Alaska's most spectacular landscapes, which the agency manages for conservation purposes under its multiple-use mandate. These wild and often remote places provide opportunities for scientific research, recreation, and a wide range of other uses.
These areas consist of the BLM's National Conservation Areas, National Monuments, Wild and Scenic Rivers, Wilderness Areas, Wilderness Study Areas, and National Scenic and Historic Trails.
The Steese National Conservation Area (NCA) encompasses 1.2 million acres of public land about 100 miles northeast of Fairbanks. Created by the Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act in 1980, the Steese NCA's special values include Birch Creek Wild and Scenic River, crucial caribou calving grounds and home range, and Dall sheep habitat. While various land uses are allowed in the Steese NCA, the area is managed so that its scenic, scientific, cultural and other resources are protected. more>
The Iditarod National Historic Trail commemorates a 2,300-mile system of winter trails that first connected ancient Native Alaskan villages, opened up Alaska for the last great American gold rush, and now plays a vital role for travel and recreation in modern day Alaska. more>
Beaver Creek National Wild River has its headwaters in the White Mountains. The river flows west past the jagged limestone ridges of the White Mountains before flowing to the north and east, where it enters the Yukon Flats and joins the Yukon River. The first 127 miles of Beaver Creek, most of it within the White Mountains National Recreation Area, were designated a national wild river by the Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act in 1980. The last 16 miles of designated wild river lie within the Yukon Flats National Wildlife Refuge. more>
Birch Creek Wild and Scenic River flows from the windswept ridges and alpine tundra of the Steese National Conservation Area into the broad expanse of the Yukon Flats in central Alaska. The river offers one-week float trips notable not only for scenery and remoteness but for convenience -- floaters can access both ends of the Wild River segment from BLM recreation sites along the Steese Highway. more>
The Delta Wild and Scenic River Watershed originates south of the Denali Highway and includes all of the Upper and Lower Tangle Lakes, the Tangle River, and the Delta River. The Delta River drains north through the Alaska Range, eventually joining the Tanana River and emptying into the Yukon River. The watershed includes 150,000 acres of land, 160 miles of streams and 21 lakes, providing excellent habitat for over 100 species of migrating birds and waterfowl as well as grayling, whitefish, lake trout, burbot, and longnose suckers. more>
The Gulkana is one of the most popular sportfishing rivers in Alaska, providing rich habitat for rainbow trout, arctic grayling, king salmon, red salmon, whitefish, longnose suckers, and lamprey. A poplular river for fisherman and boaters in the summer, this river has also played an important role in the lives of the Ahtna, providing access to subsistence resoucres throughout history and pre-history. During winter months the frozen Gulkana River was historically used as an important travel route from the Copper River to the Tangle Lakes and what is now known as the Denali Highway area. more>
Gold Rush prospectors gave the Fortymile River its name because it joins the Yukon River about 40 miles below Fort Reliance, an old Canadian trading post. In 1980, 392 miles of the river in east-central Alaska were designated as a Wild and Scenic River by the Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act. The BLM manages the wild and scenic river corridor as well as three campgrounds and Fort Egbert in the Eagle Historic District National Historic Landmark. more>
The clear, smooth waters of the Unalakleet National Wild River meander gently among the rolling Nulato Hills and across broad expanses of arctic tundra to the seaside village of Unalakleet, Alaska, at the rocky shores of the Norton Sound. Located 400 miles from Anchorage, the village of Unalakleet has approximately 800 people and is accessible only by plane. more>
Located just an hour's drive from Fairbanks, Alaska, the one-million-acre White Mountains National Recreation Area offers stunning scenery, peaceful solitude, and outstanding opportunities for year-round recreation. Summer visitors to the White Mountains pan for gold, fish, hike and camp under Alaska's 'midnight sun. In winter, visitors travel by ski, snowshoe, dog team and snowmobile to enjoy the 12 public-use cabins and 250 miles of groomed trails that make the White Mountains one of Interior Alaska's premier winter destinations. more>

Results vs. Erskine (2007-10-06 13:00:00)
October 6, 2007
|Falcons Win 3-2 in Overtime
|Saturday, 06 October 2007
|Due West, SC---Madison Kerth scored in overtime to give Pfeiffer a 3-2 win over Erskine in Conference Carolinas women's soccer action Saturday afternoon. With the win Pfeiffer improves to 6-6-2 overall and 5-1-1 in the conference. Erskine falls to 3-7 and 2-3.
The game seemed to be in the hands of Pfeiffer early on as they had two goals before the midway point of the first half. The first came from Kristen Barsch as she made good on a rebound. Megan Blevins was responsible for the second goal which was assisted by Tiffany Caudle.
In the final minute of the first half freshman Amanda Tinker was able to revive the Fleet hope as she buried a shot from the left wing, the goal was assisted by Kendal Shaffer.
Pfeiffer led 2-1 at the half.
During the second half the Fleet were able to hold off Pfeiffer's aggressive offense and managed to put another one in the back of the net to even the score.
The first overtime was fruitless as neither team was able to end the match.
The second 10 minute overtime was when Pfeiffr won the game. Madison Kerth of Pfeiffer was able to break away as the ball was played over the Fleet defensive line giving her an easy approach to the goal.
Pfeiffer will host Anderson this Tuesday at 2:00 pm.

LACBC Calls for Safety on Pacific Coast HighwayOctober 16, 2012 at 11:19 am | Posted in Bike News | Leave a comment
Tags: Pacific Coast Highway, PCH
October 15, 2012
LOS ANGELES, Calif. –
The Los Angeles County Bicycle Coalition (LACBC) is deeply saddened by the fatal collision between a bicyclist and a Metro bus on Pacific Coast Highway (PCH) in Malibu on Saturday. Preliminary reports indicate that triathlete Marisela Echeverria of Cypress Park was maneuvering around parked cars on the shoulder of the highway when her wheel was caught in a pavement seam and she was thrown toward the passing bus. We send our deepest condolences to her family, friends, and teammates.
Pacific Coast Highway is a notoriously dangerous street for all travelers, and particularly challenging for people on bicycles. Outdated road design, inconsistent shoulders, and high motor vehicle speeds are a perilous combination for people walking or riding along the highway. PCH is Malibu's main street, yet it was built to rural highway standards that provide first and foremost for the fast movement of vehicles over local access to residences, businesses, and beaches. Bicyclists face increased risks when navigating such a complex traffic environment.
Since the 2005 deaths of Scott Bleifer and Stanislav Ionov, LACBC has worked with stakeholders to improve conditions for bicyclists on the highway. Education, enforcement, and engineering strategies must be used in concert to reduce collision rates. In recent years, the City of Malibu has given considerable attention to these issues and is currently analyzing potential improvements through a $375,000 study funded by Caltrans, the Southern California Associations of Governments, and the City. The City is also currently in design for a bike lane project running two miles from Busch Drive to Trancas Canyon Road. LACBC is encouraged by these preliminary steps.
The California coast is a shared treasure, with access guaranteed by the California Coastal Act and our State's Constitution. LACBC calls on all jurisdictions to cooperate in providing a safe, continuous bikeway along the Pacific Coast Highway so that all people can enjoy its scenic beauty. We must work together to improve safety in the short term while moving toward a more balanced PCH that better serves residents and visitors in the future.
Founded in 1998, the Los Angeles County Bicycle Coalition (LACBC) is the only non-profit organization working countywide for L.A. County's 3 million cyclists through advocacy, education, and outreach. LACBC brings together the diverse cycling community in a united mission to make the entire L.A. region a safe and enjoyable place to ride.
