Staff Profile
Career Summary
As an Occupational Therapist I have enjoyed empowering people to overcome emotional, physical, cognitive or social barriers in daily life. Since graduating in the mid-1970s I have worked in various settings including general rehabilitation; stroke rehabilitation; rheumatology; amputations; mental health (both acute and long-term stay); occupational rehabilitation; paediatrics; palliative care; orthopaedics; dementia; medico legal; policy development and management in Australia. I have also practiced with children and adults in both Fiji and China.
My endeavours in Fiji for the last thirty years have contributed to raising the profile of people with disability and changing the way they are perceived within Fijian society..
My endeavours in China have contributed to increased understanding and management of children with Autism. In many cases it has empowered parents to accept their children and provide the environments that assist these children to reach their potential.
As a teacher I have worked in both universities and high schools teaching communication; general English; scientific English, Educational Psychology, research skills and aspects of Occupational Therapy. Since training as a teacher I have taught at the University of Sydney and the University of Newcastle; in Australia and in China; South Africa; Uganda and Kenya.
As a representative of the World Federation of Occupational Therapists I taught Occupational Therapy in northern..
I have a passion for teaching and my experience in various practice and educational settings allows me to assist students in many areas. I use mixed methods studies to validate my teaching and to enhance student learning. Findings from such research are generally presented at state, national international conferences.
Since joining the Occupational Therapy (OT) program in 2002, I have developed new courses in Occupational Science; Introducing Occupational Therapy; Paediatrics; transitioning into practice and communication. During this time I have lectured in Mental Health, Group work; Palliative Care, Intellectual Disabilities, Rural and Remote practice, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples health and occupations; transitioning into practice and developing relevant OT programs. I have been instrumental in supporting overseas students as they develop both their language skills and their competence to function in Australia. While teaching at UoN, my skill in teaching, my research and my experience have contributed to the transformation of many students as they discover their potential, overcome barriers of many kinds and become enthused by my commitment to bringing dignity and worth to all individuals. In recognition of my commitment to quality teaching, I received the Vice Chancellor's Award for Teaching Excellence and Learning Support (2007).
I have had various publications including journal articles, book chapters and books, based upon current evidence. The second edition of Communication: Core interpersonal skills for health professionals (2012), a well-researched book is used in courses for health professionals around the world.
I have also jointly edited a ground breaking book Occupation Analysis in Practice (2011) with Lynette Mackenzie. This book presents a holistic analysis of occupation for practice which some consider a novel approach for Occupational Therapists.
I actively support colleagues in both Iran and China where particular relevant health professions are developing research knowledge and skill.
I have been part of three teams receiving grant funding from the UoN, Centre for Teaching and Learning to research and develop relevant resources for students and staff of the university.
I am currently developing programs for local primary schools to ensure all kindergarten children have the opportunity to reach their potential. I am however committed to assisting OT students reach their potential through research and quality teaching.

Captain James E. Wilt, commanding officer of Troop B, Macon, would like to remind citizens that the Missouri State Highway Patrol offers free safety presentations to the public.
The Missouri State Highway Patrol was created in 1931 with the purpose of promoting safety on the highways and saving lives. Keeping that important goal in mind, many specialized services are provided by the Patrol. Those services range from troopers enforcing Missouri traffic laws to criminal investigators who investigate serious crimes, including terrorism. Another specialized service provided is giving presentations to the public about safety, crime prevention, and other law enforcement-related topics.
Although local troopers assigned to road duty give some presentations, the public information and education officers assigned to each of the nine troop headquarters are mainly responsible for this duty. Public information and education officers are experienced troopers with insight in safety and crime-related issues. These officers make presentations at no cost to schools, civic clubs, youth and fraternal organizations, banks, church groups, trucking companies, emergency responder organizations, and others interested in safety, crime prevention, and the Patrol.
Some of the presentations provided by the Patrol include: traffic safety (seat belts, child restraint seats, driving while intoxicated, distracted driving, rail grade crossing safety, bicycle safety), bank robbery safety, stranger danger, bullying, response to an active shooter, church security, drugs, safety for women, Patrol history, and Patrol careers. Public information and education officers also provide demonstrations/exhibits which include: Patrol car displays, rollover simulator or seat belt convincer (which both demonstrate the importance of using a seat belt), and display tables.
If your group or organization would like to request a presentation or demonstration in the Troop B area, please contact Sergeant Brent Bernhardt at (660) 385-2132. Please remember to request the presentation at least six weeks prior to the presentation date.
The Patrol encourages motorists and watercraft operators to protect themselves by making sure everyone in the vehicle is properly restrained in a seat belt or child restraint and everyone in the vessel is wearing an approved life jacket. Click It 4 Life and Wear It!!!

Welcome to the Literature Retrieval System
Our Literature Retrieval System (LRS) is an online collection of scientific papers comprising over 130,000 documents in searchable PDF format, drawn from our extensive library of books, journals, reprints, reports, and other sources. Established in 1962, our collection has grown steadily through dedicated searching of published and unpublished materials for information of significance to the Department of Defense pest management program, and accessioning of these materials into our library and online database.
We have recently added three important literature collections to our site: The Walter Reed Biosystematics Unit collection on mosquitoes of medical importance, the Dr. Norman G. Gratz memorial collection on global pest management, and the Dr. Goro Kuno collection on dengue. Additionally, we are in the process of accessioning thousands of papers and reports from the personal libraries of the late Dr. Andrew Spielman (public health entomology, with a focus on mosquitoes and ticks), and the late Dr. John H. Cross (helminthology).
We hope that you will find the LRS useful in your research and that you will consider contributing to it, thereby supporting the global DoD pest management community.

Linking Marketing Capabilities with Profit Growth
2009, International Journal of Research in Marketing
Neil A. Morgan, Rebecca J. Slotegraaf, Douglas W. Vorhies
Profit growth is one of the primary drivers of a firm's stock price and therefore is a clear priority for managers. Yet little is known about how a firm's marketing capabilities may be linked with its profit growth. In this study, we use data from a cross-industry sample of 114 firms to investigate how market sensing, brand management, and customer relationship management (CRM) capabilities determine firms' revenue growth and margin growth—the two components of profit growth. Our results reveal that these marketing capabilities have direct and complementary effects on both revenue and margin growth rates. Critically, we find that brand management and CRM capabilities have opposing effects on revenue and margin growth rates, such that a failure to examine these two underlying components would mask the relationships between these marketing capabilities and ultimate profit growth rates.

The Academy Award winner left behind a legacy of philanthropy with Newman's Own, a food company that gives up 100 percent of post-tax proceeds to charity. Offering up a wide selection of dressings, pasta sauces, popcorn, salsa, wines and juices, the company claims to have donated more than $300 million since it was founded by Newman in 1982. In 1993, the actor's daughter, Nell, started Newman's Own Organic, a spinoff of the company that sells organic pet food, coffees and snacks.
Phoebe Cates once ruled the big screen during the 1980s in teen films like "Fast Times at Ridgemont High," but these days she's ruling her own quiet, eclectic boutique in New York City's Upper East Side. In 2005, the model turned actress opened Blue Tree—a high-end, catch-all gift shop that sells everything from kids toys and stuffed-animals to cashmere sweaters and diamonds. Cates manages the store with a hands-on approach, doing everything from selecting inventory to ringing up customers.
From the stage to the runway, the former No Doubt leading lady has won respect as both a musician and a fashion designer. The singer launched her Asian-inspired high-end women's clothing line, L.A.M.B in 2004, named after her 2005 solo album Love Angel Music Baby. Not just another celebrity to lend her name to a label, Stefani is fully involved with the production of her line, which has expanded to include shoes, handbags, jewelry and a collection of fragrances. A favorite among celebrities and sold at high end retailers everywhere, the line is estimated to bring in $100 million in annual sales.
The Academy Award winning actor and director has made a name for himself both on and off screen. In 1986, he tried his hand at politics, successfully running for mayor of Carmel California, where he governed for one term. While in Carmel he also bought an old dairy farm, which he renovated into the upscale Mission Ranch Hotel. Eastwood also owns his own production company, Malpaso Productions, as well as two 18-hole golf courses in California. In 2009, Forbes estimated he brought in $35 million, ranking him No. 33 on its list of 100 most powerful celebrities.
The actress launched her own beauty product company, Boyfriend LLC, in 2010, putting out a line of fragrances, body oils and body creams she created to have the distinct, musky scent of an old boyfriend. The collection made its debut on the Home Shopping Network in November 2010, selling out in its first day. The products hit Sephora stores earlier this year, and plans are in the works to expand the line, possibly to include cosmetics.
She may be the highest paid actress in Hollywood, but Sandra Bullock also seems to have a lot going for her as a businesswoman in Austin, Texas. The actress is the quiet owner of Bess Bistro, a cozy, moderately priced restaurant with a comfort food-laden menu including burgers and macaroni and cheese. She also owns a bakery and delicatessen down the street, Walton's Fancy and Staple, which doubles as a flower shop.
No stranger to the restaurant business, Robert De Niro co-owns two food franchises that have grown to include restaurants all over the world. His upscale sushi restaurant, Nobu, now boasts 24 locations ranging everywhere from Los Angeles to Hong Kong to Cape Town. The restaurant is estimated to be worth $250 million, with the actor taking in about 30 percent of the profits. De Niro is also part owner of Ago, a ritzy Italian café that first opened up in Los Angeles but has since made its way across the country, popping up in New York City, Miami and Las Vegas.
Sitting comfortably atop Forbes' Hip-Hop Cash Kings list for two years running, Jay-Z has made a name for himself as a rapper and a businessman, boasting an estimated net worth of $450 million. The artist has come a long way since the 1996 debut of his first album, "Reasonable Doubt." That year he also formed his own record label, Roc-a-Fella records. But it wasn't until 2003 that he ventured outside his comfort zone and into entrepreneurial territory. He opened 40/40 Night Club in New York City, which has since become a national franchise. He also sold his clothing line, Rocawear, for $204 million in 2007.
The Orioles' National Hall of Famer left the baseball field for the jerky business, teaming up with Florio Sports LLC in 2010 to come out with his own lean jerky product, Ripken Power Jerky. The jerky, available in three flavors, is currently for sale online at $34.95 for a six-pack and is expected to hit stores later this year. The baseball player plans on donating a portion of proceeds to the Cal Ripken Sr. Foundation, which teaches life skills to disadvantaged youth through baseball.

Gallery: PHOTOS: The Wild Project Theater Sets the Stage With Green Roo...
Wild Project is a community theater and production company in the heart of the East Village. With its emphasis on local, up-and-coming artists and performers, the group hosts plays, films, and art exhibits. The 89-seat venue used to be a small manufacturing plant, and in keeping with its mission as a sustainable community-oriented business (and budget constraints), the theater capitalizes on pre-existing conditions and materials to present refurbished interiors that give hints to the site's history. Architects Thread Collective have kept architectural features from the original building, such as the brick and concrete masonry walls, closely spaced wood roof joists and bracing, and three gable-pitched frosted glass skylights.
A mechanized shading system helps achieve proper light quality for a variety of theater and film events, and some of the theater's energy needs are met by a row of photovoltaic panels on the South end of the roof. Water efficient fixtures and bamboo clad furnishings enhance the project's overall sustainability. Energy efficient heating and cooling systems reduce the solar panels' load. Natural light penetrates the building's storefront art gallery, where the original garage door is replaced by a transparent, thermally-broken garage door, allowing The Wild Project to connect visually to the East Village community, as passersby on 3rd Street get a glimpse of the theater's daily activities.
Wild Project Theater continues its East Village narrative on the roof, where landscape design and green roof consultants Alive Structures has constructed a lush roof garden with myriad of ground covers ranging from simple sedums to small cacti. This serene landscape reflects the neighborhood's many community gardens, yet its inaccessibility to the public transforms it into a facsimile of a public garden, a floral stage of sorts.
But while this roof lacks public access, it delivers much needed energy and stormwater management improvements. Poured onto a system of interlocking drainage mats by Elevated Living Technologies, the 4″ thick lightweight soil medium bed provides a thin and cheap extensive green roof to help drainage and insulation for the building below. According to Alive Structures' website, a recent study by the Center for Climate Systems Research has shown that a typical extensive green roof such as this can save $4.50 per square roof in energy loss each year over a typical black tar roof.
In addition to its insulating capabilities, the sustainably resourced ELT interlocking mat system is made from High Density Polyethylene that can be fully melted when damaged, and recycled into brand new mats. However, the eco-friendly plastic is greatly resistant to UV radiation and chemicals found in fertilizer. On top of that, the soil and roof construction only weigh 30 pounds per square foot, ensuring a long lifespan with few replacement and maintenance issues.
Low maintenance is the key for Wild Project's weather-resistant roof vegetation as well; no watering is needed except in the case of extreme drought. Small but vibrant, low growing wildflowers and sedums like Green and Gold, Wild Columbine, Blue Eyed Grass, Wild Ginger, Chives, Native Geranium, and native asters are interspersed between reclaimed wood decking, paving stones and prickly pear cacti. Because of mixed light conditions in this low lying building with southern exposure and shade to the East and West, many native plants that struggle on other roofs have thrived there. While some invasive species such as Sedum Acre fly in from surrounding gardens and can take over parts of the roof, the Alive Structures crew often makes the rounds to their projects for necessary weeding. Moreover, some of these invasive species are not harmful to others, and can add to the colorful mosaic.
During our visit, an especially bright bouquet of Dianthus had appeared near one of the skylights. Rather than pluck it out, we admired its teeming pink volume and how it added a necessary pop of color to a generally green stretch of garden. Just as community performers and artists interact with neighborhood residents at ground level to reinterpret the visible history of a reclaimed space, these seedlings interact with the original design's flora to redefine the East Village community garden, and hopefully the future of roof spaces in the neighborhood and New York City.

Cox Named to Daktronics Second Team in Southeast Region
March 14, 2013
MILLEDGEVILLE, G.A. The votes have been counted and, reflecting the season, there is incredible balance on the 2012-13 Daktronics Womens Basketball All-Southeast Region teams. Pfeiffer University's Brittany Cox was named to the region's second team as ten student-athletes from 10 different schools earned All-Southeast Region distinction this season.
Clayton State Universitys Drameka Griggs was named the Region Most Outstanding Player. Griggs led her Laker squad to the Peach Belt Conference (PBC) Regular-Season and Tournament Titles this year, an undefeated 29-0 mark and No. 1 National Ranking. She averages 19.9 points per game, shooting 54 percent from the floor, 50 percent from three-point range and 87 from the free-throw line. A complete player, she also led the PBC in steals with 113.
Joining Griggs on the first team were: Alissa Diaz of Anderson University, Jaymee Carnes of the University of North Georgia, Haylee Lepaio of Newberry College and Nyesha Willie of Barton College.
The second team features: Brittany Cox of Pfeiffer University, Taylor Beverly of the University of Montevallo, USC Aikens Daniela Tarallo, Tamara Nesmith of Mount Olive College, Wiliesha Spencer of Flagler College and Autumn Lau of Coker College.
Cox was named to the Conference Carolinas second team earlier this month while also being recognized as a CoSIDA Capital One Academic All-American for the second-straight year. The senior from Winston-Salem has helped guide the Lady Falcons to a 24-6 season with a berth into the NCAA Southeast Region tournament averaging 18 points per game shooting 42% on the year.
The first team selections will move on to the All-America ballot. The Daktronics All-America programs honor student-athletes in Division II athletic programs. The voting, nomination and calculations are all conducted by the schools sports information directors.
The D2SIDA All-America womens basketball team is sponsored by Daktronics, Inc., an acknowledged world leader in scoring, timing and programmable display systems for virtually every sport at every level of competition. The teams are voted on by the members of D2SIDA, NCAA Division II Sports Information Directors Association.

How are bacteria that produce NDM-1 identified?
It is standard practice to test bacteria for sensitivity to antibiotics. Strains that produce NDM-1 will show resistance to penicillins, cephalosporins, and carbapenems. Because carbapenem resistance is still relatively rare, resistance to these agents should raise suspicion of NDM-1, although not all of these resistant strains will be NDM-1 strains. If the patient has recently been to an area where NDM-1 is common, like India or Pakistan, this increases the probability that the strain is producing NDM-1.
Specific testing for NDM-1 is not routinely available in clinical laboratories. Fortunately, it is not necessary to determine if carbapenem resistance is specifically due to NDM-1 because treatment is guided by the antibiotic sensitivity testing. If a carbapenem-resistant isolate is recovered from a patient who has received medical care in India or Pakistan, it should be sent to a state public-health laboratory, which will forward it to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention for specific testing for NDM-1. Patients who have bacteria isolated from an infected site that produce NDM-1 are then definitively diagnosed as having an infection caused by bacteria that produce NDM-1.
What is the treatment for an infection caused by bacteria that make NDM-1?
Reader Stories
Treatment is guided by the antibiotic resistance pattern. Many NDM-1 strains are resistant to all antibiotics except for colistin and tigecycline. Colistin is an older antibiotic that has not been used much in recent decades, because it is somewhat more toxic than other antibiotics. A few NDM-1 strains have been sensitive to tigecycline (Tygacil), but this agent should be used cautiously in serious infections because it does not achieve high levels in the bloodstream. A few strains have also been sensitive to aztreonam, although the U.S. strains were not. Researchers have identified a new antibiotic compound that may inhibit NDM-1 containing bacterial topoisomerase function so the bacterial replication is inhibited or stopped. Unfortunately, the compound has not gone through any clinical trials and is not commercially available.

Estate planning is something many of us put off until later … but tackling the issue now can smooth the way for your family and protect your own interests.
When you have a family, the focus of your concerns tends to shift from yourself to providing for them. Whatever life stage you're at right now, to create long term security for both yourself and your family, you need to consider several
Making a will
If you are aged 18 or over and of sound mind, it may be prudent to make a will. Don't be tempted to put it off, because if the worst happens and you die intestate (without a will) your assets will be distributed according to the laws of the State or territory in which you lived at the time of your death, which may not match your wishes.
Writing a will doesn't have to be difficult or complicated. Before you start, work with your Wealthwise financial adviser, in conjunction with your legal or tax adviser, to ensure that your assets and investments are appropriately structured, particularly with regard to potential stamp duty and Capital Gains Tax.
When you're writing a will, carefully consider any family dynamics. Could your will make existing tensions worse? Are you providing for the best interests of everyone concerned? Should you consider a testamentary trust to control how beneficiaries will receive their inheritance1? A trust may be relevant if you need to provide a regular income for young children, dependants with an intellectual disability or anyone who may not be able to manage money.
Remember also that any will you have already made will generally be revoked when you get married, so it is essential that you write a new will whenever your circumstances change, including:
- marriage or divorce (including de facto relationships and separation)
- birth or adoption of a child
- purchase of a home or any other substantial investment
- death of a beneficiary in your will (eg partner, child, relative or friend).
What's not covered by a will
Most of your assets, including possessions, property, money in bank accounts and investments, will become part of your estate once you're deceased and will therefore be governed by the terms of your will.
Securing your family's future
But there are a number of assets that aren't covered by your will, such as:
- assets owned as a joint tenant (your share will go to the joint tenant)
- assets owned by a company or held in a trust superannuation death benefits or life insurance
- proceeds that are paid directly to a beneficiary rather than to your estate
If you have life insurance outside of super, you can usually nominate a beneficiary and any payout will go directly to that beneficiary (or beneficiaries) rather than to your estate.
Don't forget to take this into account when you are planning your estate.
What about you?
You may also want to consider a Power of Attorney (PoA) if you believe you may become unable to manage your own affairs.
This allows someone to act legally on your behalf. A PoA is only valid during your life. When you die, your will and executor step in. Another option is appointing an 'enduring guardian', who can make personal decisions on your behalf such as where you should live and what medical treatment you should receive.
The legislation, types of PoAs and guardianship powers vary in each State and territory so it would be prudent to seek legal advice to ensure you structure them in a manner that is most appropriate to your situation.
Financial Wisdom Limited Insights newsletter May/June 2011
1 A testamentary trust is a trust established by someone's will. It comes into existence only when that person dies. Including a testamentary trust in your will can be useful for making tax effective distributions to beneficiaries under 18, caring for children or a dependant who is incapacitated, and preventing beneficiaries from inappropriately spending their inheritance.

The Epiphany Falcons pride themselves on teamwork — making the extra pass and finding the open shot.
It doesn't matter who scores the baskets. The Falcons are gunning for wins, not individual accomplishments.
"They play team basketball," said Epiphany boys' basketball coach Kelvin Neibaur. "They don't care who gets the points. They are unselfish, they pass the ball around and who ever is open will take the shot."
The Falcons are 8-2, and shooting 40 percent from 3-point range.
They play in one of the toughest conferences in the state, the Coastal Plains Independent Conference, which includes
The smaller, yet team-oriented Falcons, are hoping to make a run at their first state tournament appearance.
"We are also more of a family," said sophomore forward Brendan McLaughlin. "We have chemistry, and although we are young, we have a lot of talent. Put that together, and that's why we are 8-2."
The Falcons have four starters averaging double figures in points — McLaughlin (11.3 points), sophomore Jared Hill (15.1 points), sophomore Chris Seiler (11.8 points) and Dawson Frogley (11.7 points).
Frogley is leading the team with 8.3 rebounds per game, while junior Adam Nelson is snagging 8.0 rebounds per game. McLaughlin has nearly seven boards per game.
"I've got three big guys doing what they need to, rebound-wise," Neibaur said. "My guards are averaging around five assists a game. Everybody is doing what they are supposed to be doing."
The Falcons had a challenging non-conference schedule, which included a one-point win over
They will take a four-game win streak into the conference opener on Jan. 4 at Freedom.
"We gave them a new offense last year and it took them a year to pick up on it," Neibaur said. "The offense is now incredible to watch."
The Falcons are scoring close to 60 points per game. The goal is to finish at least third in the conference, behind Freedom and
The Falcons are hopeful they can stun those two conference powerhouses.
"We are going to try to slow it down against
Sophomore Austin McConnell has played all 10 games, while sophomore Nathan Risk has played in eight.
Sophomore Mitchell Blair, junior Walker Ward, freshman Colton Wike and senior Justice Thurman are on the Falcons' roster.
"They are a better team than last year," Neibaur said. We lost four seniors from last year, but the kids coming up have more than filled their shoes.
"We want to take them to states this year. They need to finish third in the conference. If they do that, they will probably get a bid to states."

Even if you don't drive a fuel-efficient vehicle, you can still work to make your car greener.
Clean out your trunk: Carrying around too much stuff in your trunk can weigh your car down and result in your car needing to work harder to move. Lessening the load in the trunk can help your car run better.
Take care of your tires: Make sure your tires are well maintained and properly inflated. Driving on under-inflated tires can make your car less fuel efficient. Check your car's owner's manual to determine the proper levels your car should be at.
Slow down: How you drive can have a big impact on your car's fuel efficiency. Accelerating and stopping quickly can waste gas. Instead, try to drive at a speed where you don't regularly have to slam on the breaks to stop, and try to create situations where you can coast before coming to a complete stop.
Car pool: Instead of making changes to your car or the way you drive, consider changing who you drive with. Driving in a car pool will make your commute to work more energy efficient, as you are reducing the number of cars on the road.
Public transportation: If you can't find people to car pool to work with, you can also take public transportation, like the bus.

Beacon Theatre
New York, NY
May 20, 2013
Long after Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers took a final bow at the lip of the stage in front of a sold-out Beacon Theatre and the grateful crowd exited after an incredible first night of the band's 2013 Beacon residency, the old theater on Broadway and 74th Street that's hosted so many legendary concerts was still buzzing from the night's performance. The lights may have been turned off, the amps powered down and the guitars put away, but the room was still alive and very much electric.
Heartbreakers loyalists will point to the summer tour debut of eight songs in the setlist as evidence of a spectacular night of music, casual fans loved singing along to the radio hits and true music aficionados will forever talk about Mike Campbell's explosive guitar work on "Good Enough" or Benmont Tench's epic piano soliloquy on "Melinda."
The anticipation for these shows has been building since the tour was announced this past winter, and Tom and the band delivered on everyone's hopes and wishes – for deep album tracks ("Fooled Again," "Billy The Kid," "Angel Dream") and classic hits ("American Girl," "Refugee," "Runnin' Down A Dream"), for surprising covers ("Stepping Stone," "Willin'," "Rock & Roll Star") and special shout-outs ("Cabin Down Below" was dedicated to the Lower East Side bar of the same name).
These are the kind of nights you dream about: a Hall-of-Fame artist backed by one of the greatest rock bands of all time throwing caution to the wind and plunging deep into their catalog at one of the legendary music venues in the world.
If night one is representative of what we are to expect for the rest of the Beacon run, we're in for something special this week in the Big Apple.
Set List:
Rock & Roll Star
Love Is A Long Road
I Won't Back Down
Fooled Again
Cabin Down Below
Good Enough
Stepping Stone
Woman In Love
Billy The Kid
Tweeter And The Monkey Man
Hard To Find A Friend

Jarmusch's Four-Win Week Earns Her Softball's Pitcher of the Week Honors
April 9, 2013
HIGH POINT, N.C. – Pfeiffer University's Sam Jarmusch has been selected as the NCAA Division II Conference Carolinas Softball Pitcher of the Week during week nine of the 2012–2013 Softball season. Jarmusch put up her best collegiate week inside the softball circle picking up four win in four appearances at Francis Marion, Lenoir-Rhyne and in both ends of a Conference Carolinas doubleheader at Lees-McRae.
Jarmusch opened with a 5-4 win in game two at Francis Marion on Tuesday tossing five innings allowing just two earned runs on just three hits to defeat the Patriots. Less than 24 hours against Lenoir-Rhyne, Jarmusch tossed a complete-game four-hitter against the Bears with six strikeouts helping the Lady Falcons cage the Bears 1-0. At Lees-McRae on Sunday, Jarmusch came on in relief of game one hurling the final two frames allowing and unearned run on two hits with a strikeout as Pfeiffer came back for a 7-6, eight-inning win in the opener. In game two, it was all Jarmusch tossing another complete-game, this one a three-hitter, while fanning seven to pick up her fourth win of the week.
Jarmusch and the Lady Falcons will end the regular season this week traveling to Johnson C. Smith, Limestone and Belmont Abbey before hosting Mount Olive on senior day Sunday afternoon.

Kantha, a type of stitchery popular among rural women there, is also the name given to lightweight throws, blankets made of old saris and other pieces of cloth and featuring this type of needlework. These one-of-a-kind totes are created in this beautiful tradition.

Joint conditions are one of the most common health issues encountered by dogs of all ages and breeds.
An active lifestyle can take a toll on your dog's joints. Over time, years of wear and tear due to normal aging, disease, injury or genetic conditions can result in swelling, stiffness, decreased activity and degeneration of joint cartilage.
Developed through the combined expertise of both veterinarians and nutritionists, True-DoseTM Joint Care provides targeted care for your dog's joint health. This highly concentrated formulation of glucosamine, chondroitin and MSM is designed to promote joint mobility and flexibility and help your dog maintain a healthy, active lifestyle.
Key Benefits:
How It Works:
Joint cartilage is the protective covering over the ends of bones in your dogs' joints, which acts as a shock-absorbing cushion between the bones. Glucosamine is an important nutrient for making joint cartilage, as well as rebuilding and repairing cartilage that has been damaged. Clinical data suggests it may also relieve many of the symptoms associated with joint pain.
Inside your dog's joints, cartilage undergoes a constant process of breakdown and repair. Chondroitin protects cartilage from damage by slowing the rate of deterioration due to natural enzymes. It also attracts water into the structure of joint cartilage to provide protective and restorative nourishment and neutralize free radicals that produce inflammation and pain.
MSM (methylsulfonylmethane)
Pressure build-up in cells causes inflammation in your dog's joints, which can translate to pain, stiffness and swelling. Sulfur-rich MSM prevents this pressure build-up by keeping cells permeable, permitting nutrients to flow freely into cells and allowing harmful wastes and toxins to flow out.
True-Dose uses patented technology to provide your pet with a higher level of quality in nutritional and functional supplements. Their technology combines liquid forms of highly concentrated human grade ingredients with a measured delivery device to provide precise dosing.
Most importantly, True-Dose supplements are manufactured in a human pharmaceutical facility, following the same strict testing and quality standards mandated by the FDA for state of the art pharmaceutical product manufacturing. Their raw ingredients are certified and tested to ensure they meet their strict quality standards.
True-Dose is an industry leader in maintaining standards to ensure the quality and safety your dog & cat deserve.

Internships offer a small group of outstanding graduate-level students the opportunity to acquire direct exposure to UNDP's work. They are designed to complement development-oriented studies with practical experience in various aspects of multilateral technical cooperation, but also complements other international studies, including law.
Internships can take place in a UNDP country office/ regional center or at the organization's Headquarters in New York. Assignments vary greatly in terms of content. Every attempt is made to match the interests of the intern with the needs of the organization.
Internship assignments vary in length according to the availability and academic requirements of the intern, as well as the needs of UNDP. Assignments are available on a part-time and full-time basis throughout the year.
Interns are selected on a competitive basis. The following minimum qualifications are required: Enrollment in a graduate-level degree programme in a development related field such as economics, public or business administration, or environmental studies. Only those students who will return to their studies upon completion of their internship assignments are eligible.
Demonstrated interest in the field of development
Language skills: written and spoken proficiency in at least one, and preferably two of the three working languages used by UNDP: English, French and Spanish. Fluency in Arabic, Portuguese, Russian or Eastern European language is an asset.
An interest in global mobility; adaptability to varied physical and other environments; a desire to work with and gain the confidence and respect of people with different language, national and cultural backgrounds.
Respect for the principles of the United Nations Charter and the UNDP Statement of Purpose.
Financial Issues
UNDP does not pay for internships. The costs associated with the latter must be borne by the nominating institution, related institution or government, which may provide the required financial assistance to its students; or by the student, who will have to obtain financing for subsistence and make his or her own arrangements for travel, accommodation etc.
Further Career Opportunities
The purpose of internships is not to lead to further employment with UNDP but, as mentioned, to complement an intern's studies. However, a number of interns, having completed their studies and met the necessary requirements, have gone on to further assignments with the UNDP or elsewhere in the United Nations system.
Who to contact
Selection for the internships is fully decentralized within UNDP. All internships are advertised on UNDP's jobs site at http://jobs.undp.org/.

One of my favorite weeks of the year is the week before Labor Day. That's because I have the opportunity to tell a couple of hundred new graduate students about the great resources we have at University Libraries. Unfortunately, the talks always fly by, and by the end of a long orientation day I know that students will barely remember the tips I mentioned.
If you're struggling to remember what I said last week, maybe looking at the handout and presentation I gave will help:
Computer Science & Engineering presentation (20 minute presentation)
Electrical & Computer Engineering presentation (60 minute presentation)
Library Hacks (handout I used for all Fall 2011 orientations)
Not enough? Feel free to email me to ask questions or schedule an appointment, or find me in the KHKH Rice Student Center on Thursdays 3-4,

And, yes, his wife approves.
In fact, she's the one who got him started in horology, the art and science of timepieces.
Beamish, 65, ticks away the hours tinkering with tiny wheels, gears and springs. To him, clocks and watches are more than objects to tell time.
"Look at these guys," he says of an array of antique pocket watches, finding character in each of the shiny, round faces. "This guy is what you call a fancy face."
It's more than just a pretty face.
"A quartz watch has no soul. These have a soul. These were made by somebody and taken care of by people," he said. "It's like collecting artwork. It's technical artwork."
His mission is to preserve history and keep the hands of time running.
"It's not the time that's important. I can get the time anywhere," he said. "It's the device that was made by human beings and the engineering that went into it and the artwork that was applied to the movement of the faces."
Sure, a lot of people treat watches like a piece of jewelry these days. That's OK. He does, too.
"I might wind up looking at my phone to get the time," he said.
Beamish has always liked sporting a nice watch. It made a perfect gift for his wife to get him for holidays. The collection led to a hobby.
"When you collect watches you sort of fall into this anyway," Beamish said. "If you constantly sent them out, it would get expensive."
It's akin to surgery. These timepieces have intricate innards.
"There are typically several hundred parts," Beamish said. "You have to know how to take one apart with all the gears and all the springs and everything else and make it run and operate as it should be."
About 10 years ago, he considered going to a horology school. However, he was basically told: "We've got to spend the money on students who have a long enough work history to take up the slack of people leaving. The old guys who are doing this are dying off.' "
No problem. He found the hands-on training he wanted.
"I was quasi-apprenticed by a bunch of old guys," Beamish said. "I used to take my watches in to them for repair. One basically whacked me in the back of the head one day and said, 'Boy, I am going to die soon and you aren't going to have anybody to fix your watches.' You are going to have to learn how to do this. I expect you to be on the bench at least a half a day a week.' He would require me to sit down and work with him."
A kinship exists among those who share this time-honored passion. The local chapter of National Association of Watch & Clock Collectors has monthly meetings at the Edmonds Senior Center. Go into any clock shop — there are still a few around — and find an instant bond.
Fred Kiesel, owner of Country Clock Shop in Everett, said fewer people are getting into the profession, but it's still needed.
Many clocks brought in for repair are at least 100 years old.
"Most of the clocks have a sentimental attachment," he said.
Kiesel is self-taught. He started as a Navy computer specialist in 1986.
"I needed something to take my mind off work," he said. "What attracted me was that it is like a puzzle. It is problem-solving."
He also takes care of the tower clock in the downtown Everett courthouse.
Beamish doesn't aspire to climb bell towers. Recently retired, he's happy not to have to punch a time card. Beamish, who spent years working in management, finds watch repair to be refreshing.
"Doing something of a technical nature tends to be very clear," he said. "It has a beginning, a middle and an end. It's nice and linear and fairly black-and-white and tends to be a nice relief from dealing with all of the joys of human problems and business interactions."
Beamish spends a few nights a week in his Snohomish County workshop surrounded by timepieces big and small, emitting faint purrs or clamors every hour.
Even so, Beamish manages to lose track of time.
"I can come down here at 5 or 6 in the evening and I'll look up and it's 11 p.m.," he said.
Maybe time isn't of the essence, after all.
"You learn patience," he said, "or you give it up."

Rossi still eyeing Formula 1 drive
Article Summary
November 23, 2008 Only one person has ever reached the pinnacle in both MotoGP and Formula 1 (John Surtees), the respective motorcycle and motor racing premier championships, and for the last three years, the greatest ever motorcycle racer (Valentino Rossi), has been teasing us with the prospect that he might switch to four wheels and attempt to emulate Surtees. Though he insists he'll be staying in MotoGP for another five years, he spent two days punting the Kimi Raikkonen's F2008 Ferrari this week and got within a second and a half of Raikkonen's best time (see extensive image library). Fingers crossed!

Tennis Teams Wrap Up League Weekend Road Trip with 6-3 Losses at Mount Olive
March 13, 2011
MISENHEIMER, N.C. Pfeiffer University mens and womens tennis wrapped up its Conference Carolinas weekend each receiving a 6-3 loss at the hands of Mount Olive on Sunday afternoon. The Lady Falcons dug themselves an early hole dropping all three doubles points falling to 5-6 overall, 2-2 in league. For the men, an early point in doubles didnt provide any singles momentum as the Falcons dip to 4-2, 1-1.
Once Pfeiffer got into singles play on the womens side, the top three spots provided points as Alena Krutkina brought in the first point with a 6-4, 6-4 win at the number one spot. Catie Thomas and Cari Hopson then followed with three-set victories in the second and third positions. Each dropped their first set 6-4, before rallying in the final pair of sets. Thomas then rolled 6-3, 6-2 while Hopson went two and two.
For the men, Philip Lawson and Johan de Wit tallied the lone doubles point with an 8-2 win at #1. In singles action, it was Lawson and de Wit again providing the points with easy straight-set victories. Lawson cruised love and one while de Wit notched a 6-1, 6-1 win.

Oh, how times have changed. So easy to forget while I'm getting killed 100-0 during a ranged stun through 600 resil by a plate class who also has bubble and instant heals, that they used to be nearly unable to kill quest mobs, and rolling one on a pvp server was tantamount to suicide. Nowadays, if you roll as anything other than paladin or DK on a PvP server you obviously aren't concerned about whether you win PvP fights. :)
Just kidding! You know I love blessings! I mean, I love the otherwise useless objects we invite to raid that dispense blessings! I mean, I love paladins!
Also funny to remember all those years that druids were by far the worst PvP class (and honestly, worst class in general) when 3 of us all at once can't kill a tree nowadays, and people are worried about cats having too high damage. Cats!
How times have changed.
