Lutherans and Roanoke College family gather to remember retired pastor
Salem, Va. (July 14, 2006) – Organizers of a Lutheran conference and members of the Roanoke College community gathered in Olin Hall this evening to recognize a retired pastor who died earlier today from possible exposure to carbon monoxide.
The Rev. Walter J. Vierling, 91, of Pearisburg, Va., passed away while staying at the college's Sections residence halls. The retired pastor from the Giles Parish had been there with others attending the Power of the Spirit conference of the Virginia Synod, Evangelical Lutheran Church in America.
"We appreciate the presence and love for one another shown here today," said The Rev. R. Paul Henrickson, dean of the Roanoke College chapel, who opened the service. He also encouraged participants to call their families at home to let them know they were okay.
The Power of the Spirit is a three-day conference for Lutheran congregational leaders. More than 100 participants were staying in Sections along with a group of teenage girls who were on campus for a program called Upward Bound.
Dr. Sabine O'Hara, president of the College, flew back from Minnesota on Friday to attend the service.
"I want to thank all of you – the Roanoke College community, Salem Fire and EMS, Lewis Gale Medical Center and Carilion medical personnel – for the outstanding support to this community," O'Hara said. "We're profoundly grateful for the prayers, words of support and the care expressed."
Early Friday morning, a build up of carbon monoxide was discovered in Sections, and 114 people showing possible symptoms of exposure were taken to area hospitals for evaluation. Of the 62 evaluated at Lewis Gale Medical Center in Salem, all were released by Friday evening except for five patients, all of whom have been upgraded to stable condition. All of the 49 people who had been evaluated at Carilion Roanoke Memorial Hospital in Roanoke have been released. In addition, three members of the Salem EMS had been evaluated at a hospital as a precautionary measure.
An autopsy will be conducted to determine the cause of Vierling's death. The investigation into the source of the carbon monoxide is continuing, and the City of Salem says it is focusing on a potential failure in the gas hot water system.
The Power of the Spirit conference will end as planned on Saturday. Participants were moved to the campus' Caldwell, Allegheny and Ritter halls for Friday night. The 37 teenagers participating in Upward Bound had already gone home, as they were previously scheduled to do.

Now we are talking Chanel: Bel Respiro for our Green S'n'S. To me, it was the least expected aroma out of the original 6 Les Exclusiffs -- with small synthetic flowers and the breeze of coumarin and galbanum. I would not call it particularly fresh but it evolves from dry to wet and back again and from interesting to soapy. It also has a promise of aromatic resins in the base -- not in your face, but very restrained and in good taste. Very good, particularly on a hot summer day like today seems to become.

On this Doyenne d'un Age Certaine it starts off quite cedar-y but gets down and dirty in a fairly short while. I just LUV it.

Hello everyone!
Summer's here at last! Without even thinking about it I grabbed Givenchy's luscious Ysatis, my most joyful, perfectly glorious sunny summer holiday scent, which as it happens is not very green so completely blows my participation in SnS...hmph! But I'm fabulously fragranced none-the-less and I just couldn't be happier in this gorgeous creation from Dominique Ropion. ♥
I realize I'm repeating myself (again) but as opulent and heady as this is, it actually reminds me of deep blue skies, palm trees and swimming pools (and of my very stylish and vivacious grandmother, who wore it so beautifully....and now also of the most excellent Le Grand Duc, naturally.) No wonder I adore it!
Happy Birthday To You, Furriner!
Y'all have a fantastic day!
Good Morning All. In keeping with the green theme, I'll start out the day with L'OCCITANE 'The Vert (Green Tea). Have a good weekend everybody!!
Well I am wearing the new Tuca Tuca from the Gorilla Perfumes by LUSH again.
Lovely violet fragrance.

We've been invited to a pool party and dinner this afternoon, but it's raining! I guess we will just go for the dinner then, DH has been smoking meats for hours and I baked a coconut cake.

I'm in Diabolo Rose today, marvelous rose + citrus + peppermint. I like this one so much more than the somewhat-similar Geranium Pour Monsieur (which I find rather unisex anyway). The mint lasts longer, for one thing.
And now I'm off to buy a pill shooter. Yes, folks, the challenge of pilling my cat goes on!

Hugs and wishes for a better 'tum to oolala30...
I started out today in Vivara (1967 vintage concentré)... and moved on to PdN Le temps d'un Fête to keep with the green theme. Fitting, as it has been raining cats and dogs (oh, the horror of the barks and meows) ((sorry)) with moisture from the hurricane coming WAY inland (West Texas - Lubbock to be exact - to here in central Oklahoma are getting soaked with rain from it) and everything is greener than it was (which is saying something!) before... the garden furrows are full of water and I would need Wellies to go weed right now. Since I will be canning pickles later I am going to be cucumber and dill green, won't need any cucumber-scented 'fumes for that one.
My non-green tryout today was L'Heure Bleue, with which I was disappointed, the topnotes and middle on me are like Mitsuoko turned powdery-candy... (sobs)... that makes two Guerlain disappointments this week, what with Chamade going faint and nondescript (which was a shock to me. Maybe on the second try it'll be better.). Oh well, less to worry about buying!
Cheers, darlings!

Scent twins today with RainDrop in YSL Y for the green SnS. It is very, very pretty! I just posted this review to the Directory:
(Sampling vintage edt) I find this to be a very lovely green chypre with a fruity sweet streak throughout that makes it approachable and easy to wear. It doesn't get too stuffy with the mossy notes. An old-time chypre that's quite casual and versatile, which is a rare thing, imo. Also, one of those curious fragrances that has good sillage, but seems to disappear when nose goes to skin.
Btw, does anyone know what happened to lovethescents? She was due around the same time as me and I haven't seen her around in a while. Hope all is well with her.
Eddie: Sweetie, what are you drinking?
Patsy: Oh, this? Chanel No. 5.
-- Absolutely Fabulous
SotE Guerlain With Love. The bottle is at least half empty, which negates some of the top notes, and that's actually how I like it—straight to the good stuff.
An almost-belated birthday greeting to Furriner. Since it's late in the day, I'll pour you some champagne.

Well, the pill shooter from our pet store was worse than useless. I now sport another claw mark in my right hand. Three days down, 7 more to go!
I hope soon he will realize that "resistance is futile."
While out at the pet store i stopped in at Goodwill and found a new in package mini of Cover Girl Incognito. Haven't smelled that in ages! When it first came out I remember thinking it was not a bad scent at all, so I had to try it again. I think this is too strong for me and will end up being sent to someone one of these days.

Today (well yesterday) I wore Noa by Cacharel. Though not a typical "green" scent it tends to be very green-floral-musky on me. Bypassing the whole fruity thing it supposedly has makes it such a great warm weather beauty.
Tonight I am wearing De Lys by Charles LaMaine, which is a very obscure scent from the early 80's.
Big hugs to all and enjoy your weekend

text:
I did something my friends found odd and my parents found horrifying. I signed on for a 200-mile survival trek across one of the most parched landscapes in the country — the southern Utah desert. Walking wasn't the hard part, nor were the restrictions: no tent, sleeping bag or matches. I lost a pound a day for 28 days on a diet of ash-baked crackers made of flour and river water, and hunger was a constant.
But it was thirst that stalked us like a wolf. The human body — 60 percent water — can endure a month or two without food, but only three or four days without water. Sawed-off soda cans served as our canteens, keeping us alive from one alkali pothole or stream to the next, and once, when the landscape ran out of river, I came to know the cotton tongue and dizzy delirium of going without. I came home obsessed with water.
It's an obsession now shared by more than a third of the world's population, 2.6 billion people who live in perpetual pursuit of safe drinking water, or who lack water to bathe and flush away their sewage. "In the villages where I lived, the talk was constantly of water," says anthropology Professor Joyce Millen, who spent her formative years in rural Africa, walking miles for water and coaxing near-mud out of desiccated wells. By 2025 the United Nations predicts water scarcity will plague two out of three individuals worldwide, and Ismail Serageldin, founder of the Global Water Partnership, says, "The next world war will be fought over water."
We live surrounded by water on a blue planet, but less than one-half of one percent of the world's water supply is available to us, and the fresh water in rivers, lakes and underground aquifers is threatened by industrial pollution, water-intensive and chemical dependent agriculture, runaway development, and rates of consumption growing twice as fast as the population. Global warming exacerbates the problem with droughts, shrinking glaciers and rising sea levels, which inundate fresh water ecosystems with salt. And as the temperature rises, we use more water — for drinking, bathing, recreation, crops and wildfires. Scientists predict that many cities and nations will run dry in coming decades.
The United States is not invulnerable. The Ogallala Aquifer, the largest in North America, is being pumped dry, and it seems that all major U.S. rivers are flowing mostly toward litigation, with states locked in combat over water rights. In the Western U.S., seven states and two nations are battling over legal rights to the Colorado River, whose waters are no longer plentiful enough to fulfill treaties made decades ago. Mexico is left with a salty trickle, and California, with one of the largest economies in the world, usurps the largest share. Even so, state planners estimate they will need almost twice the current amount by 2020.
"Western cities are growing, and they're thirsty," says economics Professor Don Negri, who develops statistical methods that calculate the impacts of climate change on agriculture. "Population is up and reservoir levels are down, and 80 percent flows to farmers. There won't be enough water to go around."
Not even in water-rich western Oregon, where drought has already driven hundreds of farmers out of business and water shortages have brought controversy. After a judge ruled in 2001 that Klamath River waters should be left instream to protect salmon runs, farmers stormed the head gates and illegally diverted irrigation water. Farmers, tribes and fishermen became embroiled in a "fish versus food" conflict so intense farmers patrolled canals with shotguns and federal marshals were called in to restore order. "It looked like a scene from the Old West," Negri says.
As the planet warms, Oregon will see reduced snow pack in the Cascades — mountains that act as an enormous storage facility, slowly releasing water as snowmelt through the summer. "We will need to find a way to capture and store the precipitation from winter rains — perhaps in underground aquifers — or we'll see serious water constraints," Negri says.
"When crisis occurs the old rules no longer work, and policymakers turn to the researchers who have been thinking about this for a long time. Crisis is often the catalyst for change, and that change will involve hard thinking about how we manage and allocate water. Right now, there is an institutional perversity in Western water law, especially in the 'use it or lose it' doctrine." Originally intended to discourage waste by preventing people from diverting more water than they could use, the law now serves to discourage conservation. Preposterous case in point: During a severe, multi-year drought in the interior West, some politicians encouraged residents to step up lawn watering so water rights wouldn't revert to the next appropriator in line. Ill-conceived federal programs exacerbate the problem, giving subsidies to grow water-intensive crops, like rice, in the desert.
Even though allowing rivers to flow freely was once considered wasteful and diversions for fish habitat controversial, many water managers now recognize the ecological benefits of instream uses. "We often forget that water has value when left in place," says Karen Arabas, an environmental and Earth sciences professor whose tree-ring research documents 500 years of drought in Oregon. "It's hard to put a price on habitat health, so it doesn't show up in the marketplace. That's where problems crop up. Selling or transferring water can give the state a quick economic boost, but the value of leaving water in the river doesn't have an immediate perceived economic value."
Both Negri and Arabas believe more water will flow from agriculture to cities and habitat restoration in the future, with farmers making up the difference with better technology, stronger conservation measures and higher-value crops, such as berries and nursery plants.
Shortages are not the only threat to our water supply. The goods we consume are part of the problem. For example, it takes more than 100,000 gallons of water to produce a car. "We can't have our standard of living without chemistry and manufacturing, but one of the byproducts of industry is water pollution," says Dave Goodney, environmental chemistry professor. "If we want to solve our environmental problems, we need to understand them, and chemistry is a big part of the solution.
"Until environmental protection laws came along in the 1970s, companies could dump virtually anything into waterways," Goodney says. "The local canneries and paper mill put a heavy load on the Willamette River, which was terribly polluted. We've seen a dramatic improvement in water quality since their closing, and since the new regulations took effect." A lingering problem is that the toxic industrial chemicals that settled into river sediments long ago are almost impossible to remove. Some contaminants in Portland Harbor, now a Superfund cleanup site, are the result of industrial pollution that occurred decades ago.
Today's industrial byproducts include estrogen mimickers and endocrine disruptors, which enter the water supply and play havoc with human development and reproduction, but many chemicals come from our own bathroom cabinet. The prescription and over-thecounter drugs that pass through our bodies or get flushed down the toilet are almost impossible to remove from drinking water, and have been linked to cancer and hormonal and reproductive problems.
One of the largest problems is the chemical runoff from farms and households. "Every time we throw away leftover paint or fertilize our lawn, it ends up in the Willamette River," Goodney says. "With municipal sewers and factories, you know where the pipeline is going into the river, but nonpoint source pollution is a tougher nut to crack because it comes from all over the place." States, counties and individuals are starting to respond, regulating chemical use and making sure chemicals are disposed of as safely as possible. And some cities, like Silverton, are using biology to remove fertilizer nutrients; the city finishes cleaning municipal sewer water with waterfalls, gardens and wetlands at the Oregon Gardens.
Many believe the most significant threat to water is the privatization of the planet's water resources. In 2000 Fortune magazine reported that water would be the "oil of the 21st century," shaping the rise of transnational corporations and the fate of nations.
The frenzied rush toward private ownership of water has alarmed and energized an alliance of national leaders, economists, scientists, farmers, environmentalists, indigenous peoples, churches and nonprofit groups. Even the United Nations and the Pope issued declarations that water is an inalienable human right. "Nothing illustrates global injustices more starkly than the question of who has daily access to safe drinking water and who does not, because water is one of the most basic requirements of human life," says Millen, who has helped establish health projects on several continents, including one in Lima, Peru.
Like many other large cities around the world, Lima has vastly outgrown its water infrastructure. "The municipal system was built for a fraction of the current population," Millen says, "and the tens of thousands of recent arrivals who reside on the outskirts of the city have no piped-in water. They are forced to buy water from private vendors who get it free from city taps, sell it at exorbitant prices, and profit from human desperation. The poorest people spend up to a third of their income on water that wealthier people in the valley receive free.
"We need to decide as a global community whether water is a commodity to be sold for profit to enrich a few or a basic human right available to all. In a world where 2 million children die every year for want of clean water, it's regrettable we have to ask that question."
The problem isn't reserved to the developing world. Aging infrastructure has not kept pace with population growth in U.S. cities, where 70,000 miles of corroded, leaky pipelines jeopardize public health and community budgets. City officials sometimes see public-private partnerships as attractive solutions, but privatization has not been the panacea they hoped. Once privatized, water is managed for profit, not for water quality, public health or fair access, and rate hikes and substandard practices often follow.
Bottled water has also gained closer scrutiny, even at Willamette, where its elimination is under consideration. "Bottled water is marketed as the 'natural' choice, but there's nothing natural about it," says President Lee Pelton. "It takes three liters to produce a one-liter bottle, the packaging is a landfill item, and the water doesn't receive the same scrutiny as tap water." Slow to regulate, the Food and Drug Administration has only recently proposed testing source water for fecal contamination.
"Corporations shouldn't have the right to plunder aquifers," Millen says. Bottlers often profit from water resources that are owned, developed and maintained by taxpayers, but citizens are starting to push back. Upscale restaurants in major cities are canceling bottled water contracts and community opposition is growing against large-scale extraction of water by bottling giants. Willamette, which receives Salem tap water — voted the "Best of the West" by the American Water Works Association — is developing plans to give each incoming student a reusable water bottle and serve pitchers of water at events.
A focus on water is not relegated to one or two physical sciences at Willamette. The topic shows up in almost every discipline across campus — including anthropology, economics, education, English, history, law, environmental and Earth sciences, chemistry, biology, politics, religious studies and psychology — in the form of research, curriculum, service projects or artistic endeavors. Some faculty members even offer pro bono expertise at the local or even international level. In each case, their disciplinary background informs their thinking and activities.
They share a hope that squeezed water supplies will shape a new management paradigm, one based directly on science rather than political and economic drivers, but they recognize that there are no easy answers.
"People look to the oceans, and we do have the technology to extract salt from seawater, but it requires enormous amounts of energy, causes environmental destruction and is prohibitively expensive," says Scott Pike, an environmental and Earth sciences professor whose paleoenvironmental research uncovers the hydrological profile of past civilizations. Massive water transfers are also losing acceptance. "You can't simply transfer water from Oregon to California without recognition of the environmental and social impacts, even if they can pay for it," says Negri.
Pike believes we will need to think more about limits, including restricting development to the capacity of our underground aquifers. "We have all these new homes pulling water from an aquifer that might not be recharged for a long time," he says. "Any new construction has to go through analysis, but the process is often driven by economics and politics rather than science. If we pump too rapidly, the surface of the groundwater table sinks. The greatest threat to Oregon's water is not scarcity, but poor management."
In an effort to help gain a clearer understanding of local supplies, Pike and his students monitor stream quality throughout the Mill Creek Watershed, gathering data for state and county planners. "This watershed is one of the major drainages for Salem, but it only gets monitored once it gets to the urban areas, while the headwaters are located up in the mountains. It's a very manipulated system, running through federal lands in the mountains, farmland, municipalities and industrial areas, so any policy has to deal with all the stakeholders."
Other Willamette professors are helping stage rescues as well. One of Millen's medical anthropology classes coordinated with county health officials to investigate water resources in Marion County, pinpointing inadequacies of the local sanitation system and problems with sewage overflow. Joe Bowersox, director of Willamette's Center for Sustainable Communities, coordinates student restoration projects on local streams.
And biology Professor Gary Tallman is developing genetically modified plants that withstand heat and associated drought. "As global warming speeds up evaporation from crop plants and irrigators have less water, we will see more starvation worldwide," he predicts. "There are concerns with genetically modified plants, but most of the concerns are about modifying plants with non-plant genes. My work focuses on modifying existing plant genes. It's not unlike breeding, but traditional crop breeding is less predictable and takes years." Tallman wants to speed up the process to meet what he considers a crisis.
Ultimately, there's no easy technological fix, and so many solutions will have to come from leaders and citizens choosing wisdom over shortsighted actions. "It will take a tremendous amount of political willpower to create wiser laws," Arabas says, "but there's no option. Unlike the auto industry, where people can switch from oil to hydrogen, there's no substitute for water."
"Certainly when it comes to water, economics and politics must be part of the equation," says Bowersox, whose scholarship focuses on water and forest policy. "But we have to talk in terms of broader values as well. Our decision-making is often stripped bare of less tangible human and non-human consequences: What is the cultural, spiritual and ecological value of salmon? Of a heron rookery? Of children having clean water to drink? The danger is that many arguments become abstract accounts, devoid of language that compels people to rethink their values. As a society, we need to measure water according to its true worth and manage our resources with the wisdom of a longterm perspective."
On my trek through the desert, I carried a small can of water for 200 miles, and once when it ran dry I collected drops of rain on my tarp and dug down through the sand toward moisture. Rivers were veins of life that flowed through the canyons, and the sweet breath of rain was the first and last resort for every juniper, jackrabbit and rattler. I came to understand that water represents the clearest, strongest hold on life. All I had was a few long swallows, carefully balanced between sun-chapped fingers, but it was enough.
Religious studies Professor Dave McCreery has witnessed the dramatic effects of water scarcity more than most. He is a paleoethnobotanist who has spent the last 35 years unearthing ancient cities in the Middle East. "Civilizations rise and fall based on how people manage their water resources," says McCreery, whose work has been featured on the History Channel. "We think of civilization as progress, but when people settled into villages their health deteriorated, raw sewage flowed through the streets and epidemics ran rampant, much like today. Over-irrigation increased the salinity of the soil until crops failed — and societies collapsed. There's a pattern of cities growing until a point of sudden abandonment, and that collapse often centers around how people use — and misuse — water.
"Archeology has taught me that you can't take anything for granted. We have the idea that we're invulnerable, but if the U.S. lasts forever we'd be the first nation to accomplish that. We have to realize our limitations and vulnerabilities and plan accordingly.
"As we become more aware that water is not an inexhaustible resource, we'll adopt the practices used in the ancient world for thousands of years. The Romans had indoor toilets, but they didn't have toilets that took 10 gallons to flush. In the Middle East today, almost all homes have cisterns that collect winter rainwater. You live off that water all year long."
The best advocates for water are local citizens. We can carry our own water bottle, clean with vinegar and baking soda, use native plants in our gardens, buy food produced with fewer chemicals and help restore local streams.
Smith, can take it one step further. Smith, an environmental law professor who provides pro bono legal expertise to the World Council of Churches about water as an inalienable right, asked members of her church congregation to give up soda and lattes during Lent, drink water instead, and send the savings overseas to an "adopted" village to help provide water. "I thought the only way we can begin to deal with the global water crisis is one village at a time," she says. "We all belong to communities — academic, religious, social — and so I started with my village, my church, and we reached out to another village."
Children listened while Smith explained the idea to her congregation, and after they left for Sunday school classes, she said, "Every 15 seconds a child dies from a disease that would have been preventable with clean drinking water. If we lived elsewhere, in the time I've been speaking all these children would have died.
"If we want democracy and political stability around the world, the first thing we need to ensure is that people are not thirsty," says Smith, who is working toward a master of divinity degree and plans to push water justice as part of her ministry. Her Drink Water for Life movement is spreading to other congregations in the Willamette Valley.

XS is not bad but the new ones are ATROCIOUS (IMO).
Tenere is the only one to have sparked any genuine interest for me. Eau de Paco and and Pour Homme are decent. The rest - forget it.
Wow so far no one has chosen Black XS, interesting
For me, Pour Homme is the clear favorite
1 Million...i find pour homme to be very bad
From your list, I picked Ténéré, but I think my real favorite is Calandre, which is marketed to women, but which I wear from time to time (but not to work). Check it out if you don't know it.

about Black XS:
I kinda like it too it's strange people don't seem to like it more...i didn't choose it because i'd prefer PRPH but that doesn't mean it's not nice...
some people tend to think of it as the fruity floral equivalent for men but it's really not..only because it has strawberries it's suddenly unlikeable?

One Million
Ultraviolet Man.....This will probably change after I sample One Million!
I used up a 50ml of XS in no time at all! I guess that means I like it a lot.
I really enjoy 1 Million and am trying to figure out what the hostility is all about.
Hands down -------> Ténéré
I picked Tenere. Quite impressive stuff.
I also think Ultraviolet is a pretty decent fragrance as well.
Seeking: Bottles/decants : of Alain Delon Iquitos, Feeling Man, Gucci pour Homme, Essence of John Galliano, Opium pour Homme, Oxford & Cambridge, Azzaro pour Homme (vintage), Concentré D'Orange Verte...etc.
Seeking decant/sample of Jil Sander Feeling Man, Comme des Garcons 2 Man, Giorgio VIP, ....etc. I have samples to swap.

Please PM me !
From the list: Ténéré
Others: Métal
Wishlist is pointless.
The original Paco Rabanne Pour Homme is brilliant.
This is a very good Fragrance House. I have to go with Pour Homme
XS is my favourite, closely followed by Paco Rabanne PH.
I've often wondered if Creed had put out XS instead of Paco Rabanne, whether it would have gotten the attention it deserved. Yes, it is somewhat different from Himalaya, but to most noses from a distance, the two are very similar.
I like Black XS too, but it has nothing to do with XS.
I'm still annoyed with myself that I didn't pick up the Extreme version of XS at the time.
Wow, looking through that list, I now realize Im not a Paco Rabanne fan at all.
Then there's also Paco, which is not mentioned here on the poll. I think it's an "unisex" scent -at least according to PR- , even more complex than CKOne and Not a clone -not that that's a great achievement-
Clean synthetic citrus, it's one abstract scent.
what do you guys think of it?
ointments and perfume delight the heart....
Paco Rabanne PH, but I also love Metal.
La Nuit just plain STINKS!!!!
Seems like most of Paco's latest offerings doesn't fair well on BN!
tenere. it is masculine in a sophisticated way and it projects elegantly.
im in for black xs.. love sweet fragrances..

One writes, 'It's just a phase he's going through,' to excuse uncharacteristically bad behavior, so someone 'unphased' would be keeping steady. (I wondered whether some meaning might be leaking through from the Star Trek universe, where the 'phaser' is the weapon of choice, but saw no evidence of this.)
100,000+ ghits, but most of these are for a technical use in genetics. Examples:

Charles Whitman, sniping from the UT tower, was completely unphased by civilians shooting up at his defended position.

This is an old one, Ken—but you're right, I should add unphased to the entry for phased .
Edit, 2008-08-26—This is done, article is edited. Thanks, Ken!
I wonder if people think of the verb faze or the derived adjective unfazed as related to phases (e.g. of the moon, of development, etc.), or if they simply grab the relatively more common spelling without thinking about its meaning as a noun. In the former case, wherein *to phase is somehow related to a phase, the example would clearly be an eggcorn. In the latter, it's hard to say what it is. Maybe an eggcorn, maybe a misspelling, maybe something else.
I note that both the Mark Liberman 'Language Log' piece and the Paul Brians 'Common Errors' piece cited in the Database call this an error, rather than a reshaping.
Obligatory token counting: The Corpus of Contemporary American English has 16,550 occurrences of noun or verb phase and variants (not counting phaser) compared to 347 of the verb faze (not counting unfazed, but see below). It has 13 occurrences of unphased to 359 unfazed. No matter what its genesis, the form is out there, even in edited texts (though five of the unphased tokens are in transcriptions of spoken texts).
I know I was thinking of phases of waves. I was a physics student back then (and am of course a non-native speaker).
Chris Waigl wrote:

I would say that's about as close as we are likely to get to a look inside a speaker's mind, at least until we invent a portable instant-read brain scanner.

Yvonne Jones has had a full plate for a number of years.
A retired school teacher since 2004, Jones has spent her retirement doing for others.
The Lenoir County native graduated from South Lenoir High School in 1969, and earned a teaching degree in business and marketing at Atlantic Christian College (now Barton College) in Wilson, married Gary A. Jones and began teaching at Woodington Middle School — all in 1973.
She began working on her master's degree when, in 1982, her world turned upside-down.
"We had our second child," Jones said, "and that's when our lives drastically changed. Our second child was born and suffered a brain hemorrhage on the third day of life, which resulted in her being cerebral palsy, quadriplegic and non-verbal."
Miranda Jones required daily care around the clock, yet her parents were able to care for her and continue to teach with assistance from home care nurses.
When Miranda was about 7 years old, her parents enrolled her in a special needs program at school. Through the years, Miranda experienced bouts of bronchitis and pneumonia. This month, she will be celebrating her 31st birthday.
"Every day," Jones said, "(Miranda) puts a big smile on our face. … It has made us a better person, for sure. It has given us empathy for others."
Jones spent the last 22 years of her 30-year career teaching at her alma mater, South Lenoir, where her husband was also teaching.
"We have a special needs child," she said, "and in spite of that, we've been able to overcome obstacles and volunteer."
Jones began volunteering at Lenoir Memorial Hospital in 2005, and her husband began volunteering there about a year later.
"By volunteering," she said, "my husband and I are supporting a community resource that my family has used and one that we care about — that being LMH."
She works at the service desk and greets people, delivers mail and email, escorts patients around the hospital and has served as the volunteer recording secretary. He works in the critical care unit.
Jones will be installed as vice president of the LMH Volunteers in October and representing them as a delegate at the N.C. Hospital Volunteers State Conference this weekend.
She sings in the choir and handles the greeting card ministry at Kinston First Pentecostal Holiness Church. She sends out about 30 cards a week to people on the church prayer list who are sick, shut-in or in nursing homes.
"I think what I love about it," Jones said, "is when I can't make a personal visit, I'm visiting a person's home and putting a smile on their face or (giving them) a word of encouragement."
In 2010, she donated stem cells for her brother, Myron Carter, who was diagnosed in 2001 with non-Hodgkin lymphoma. His condition was deteriorating, but the disease has since been in remission.
"The doctor didn't give him much hope without a transplant," Jones said, "and I was the perfect match (as a stem cell donor). … I feel like I've saved his life."
Jones, who has been married for 40 years, enjoys shopping, traveling, baking goodies for others and spending time with her grandchildren, and she and her husband were fond of taking their three children on camping trips when they were young.
She recommends to others to be positive, enthusiastic, work toward a goal and put God first.
"Look beyond your situation or circumstance," Jones said. "There are things we cannot change, but we can be the change that makes a difference in someone else's life."

God damn Vasquez has been balling out of his mind this year
Freakin Brian Roberts.
and there's our youth coming into play in a bad way... how do you not know you have to get a shot up quick
Smitty w/ 8 pts... Vasquez had 4 asts in the 1st qtr

bring back dyson.
looking for team to bandwagon, pls help
Henry hasn't missed yet.
Both shots have been nothing but bottoms.
This is waaay off topic, but is it just me or does Spencer Hawes look like a pedophile with that Mullet&Mustache combo... I could make a M&M and children joke but that would just be in poor taste.
We are wining only by 3, but we are looking really well out there. A lot of the shots we have missed have been good looks, and the offense is looking great. Defensively, I thought that Holiday was going to destroy Vasquez, but so far only;y 2 points
Roberts hasn't played well this season ... I had high hopes for him
Dell Demps PLEASE get us some scorers!
Need to get some of the starters back out there... things have gotten quite a bit disjointed now
Shooting way too many jumpers. This team needs to attack the paint often, especially Aminu.
Too much dribbling... they seem just...i don't know sluggish...less intensity than the last 2 games IMO.
why have a line up without any of ryno, vasquez or smith out there... warrick, aminu & lopez front line shouldnt be seen again
Roberts just wasted a half of quarter of just dribbling the bill around the top of the key ... I have no clue what he is doing out there
This game hard to watch except for that ally
Teams:New Orleans Hornets(Pelicans) & Houston Texans

Whether right out of grad school or after some years in the profession, IWU professors moved to the head of the class. Was it a passion for sharing the field of their dreams? Was it a divine prompting to make students their business? Or were they looking for a place where they could teach their profession and still share a profession of faith? No doubt it was all of the above. We invite you to come to campus and ask students what they think.

Those without...well they just keep getting ill.

It's not all downside. I get a certain amount of solitude, I'm free from family commitments and have little else to do besides read, practice and meditate. I also spend a fair amount of time chitchatting in coffee shops.

|L to R: Dr. John M. Ferretti, D.O., president and CEO of Lake Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine, honorary degree recipient, Coach Agnus Berenato, head women's basketball coach at the University of Pittsburgh, commencement speaker and honorary degree recipient, JoAnne Boyle, Ph.D., president of Seton Hill University, and Bishop Lawrence E. Brandt.
Seton Hill University (SHU) has recognized the contribution made to health care and medical education by LECOM President John M. Ferretti, D.O., F.A.C.O.I. and Provost Silvia M. Ferretti, D.O.
Seton Hill President Joann Boyle, Ph.D., presented Dr. John Ferretti with an Honorary Doctor of Science degree during the SHU Commencement on May 9, 2009. Dr. Silvia Ferretti was unable to attend the ceremony and will receive her honorary degree at a later time.
Drs. Ferretti have provided the vision and leadership in extending the Erie medical college to an additional location on the Greensburg, Pennsylvania campus of SHU. LECOM at Seton Hill opens in July.
In making the presentation Dr. Boyle gave these remarks:
Dr. John Ferretti, you are the rarest of combinations: practicing physician; teacher; and CEO. As pragmatic as you are curious and compassionate, your innate sense for business, your interest in how best to teach and learn, and your passion for, to use your phrase, "people-oriented medicine," have led you to the founding of Lake Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine, the nation's largest and most progressive school of medicine.
First in Erie, then in Bradenton, Florida, and now at Seton Hill, LECOM's medical college and school of pharmacy are dedicated to the preparation of the generation of health care professionals who will lead the way in preventive medicine. Your foresight in the planning and designing of their educations, anticipates the urgent and growing need for family doctors who treat the whole person. No legacy in health care will be as lasting or as deep as yours.
The benchmark you are guided by is EXCELLENCE, and there are no compromises. Thoughtful, modest, generous, Dr. John Ferretti, you are a physician respected for your personal discipline, work ethic and dedication to patients, health care and wellness. At a time when the health care profession is under stress, you are a calming, influential and effective advocate for patients and a leader in medical education.
For your innovative spirit, and for the passion you bring to your life's calling, Seton Hill University is proud to confer on you the degree, Doctor of Science, honoris causa.
Nationally recognized University of Pittsburgh head women's basketball coach, Agnus Berenato, provided the commencement address at the May 9 ceremony. Coach Berenato addressed 261 graduates in the Salvitti Gymnasium of the McKenna Center on Seton Hill's campus.

I wish they would give rob his own show.
We may have seen Rob Kardashian ramping up his exercise training in order to shift some pounds recently, but the reality TV star has now opened up about how he really feels about his body issues telling Ryan Seacrest: "I cry because my penis looks so small now."
Appearing on Ryan Seacrest With the Kardashians: E! News Presents, with his famous reality TV family, Rob opened up about how he has been trying to deal with his weight, telling the host: "Every time I hop in the shower and see myself naked I cry, because my penis looks so small now."
However, Rob who is said to be still trying to lose weight was feeling positive as he added:
"The upside is, every time you lose 10 lbs you gain an inch on your penis."
The reality TV star who has followed in his sisters footsteps and launched his own range - specialising in socks - also spoke of his relationship with his mum, Kris Jenner and Kim, Kourtney and Khloe, revealing that whilst he may have stayed with his father who sadly passed away in 2003, he is thankful to his mum. He said: "She's always there for me."
Ahead of the TV special which was broadcast on the E! network last night in the US, Rob spoke of his training regime to Us Weekly, telling them: "I lost five to seven [pounds] last week. I'm trying to lose 40.
"It's a little journey, but it's good... I'm like 240lbs right now, probably 235lbs."
Whilst Rob cotinues to battle to lose weight, things appear to be looking up on the romance front after he was spotted out with a new lady friend, Naza Jafarian earlier this month in London, and it appears that the lady in question has even got the thumbs up from his family after a source told HollywoodLife:
"Kris [Jenner] and Kim [Kardashian] like [Naza] a lot more than Rita, because shes a lot like them. They didnt really like Rita at all."
Another source went on to claim that Naza bares a resemblance to Kim, saying:
"She looks like Kim a little. She was with Rob for his birthday at 1Oak in Vegas and them traveled with him to his next appearance. Then they spent St. Pattys day together in LA and now she flew to London with him!

that guy is so gross...........
You cant change the way the wind blow's, but you can change the angle of your sail to take you somewhere else!!
He's worried about his dick? The fucking idiot is a dick. Matter of fact the entire family is made up of dicks.
Oh my. He used to be so cute. An idiot, but cute. Now so pudgy. What a surprise.
Rob K has never struck me as being overweight though, is he just insecure about his body for some reason?
... but that ass is bigger than ever.
I don't care how big his ass is now.
He went from this...
To that...
That is not hot! lol I'm afraid he will never recover and his weight will always be an issue for the rest of his life.
I will miss that glorious ass of his on a thinner frame.
I'm sure his mother Kris will nag him into picking up bulimic habits, and the rest will fix itself.

gone was the glow of blue velvet....
I live among the creatures of the night; I'm living in the forest of a dream
I'd still eat his ass
Why the hell would you admit that to anyone let alone making it public? hmm... and yea it even shows on his face.. he probably can loose the weight but lets be real, he was always one cheeseburger away. He was thick to begin with
I think heteros still have it easier with dating scene. You can be an out of shape guy but sexy women will still be attracted to you if you have bad boy personality and in this case lots of $$. Girls settle for money over looks in guys all the time. Rob looks like he is getting fat to experience pregnancy together with Kim.
Hard to feel bad for a guy who's main concern about weight gain is how it affects the way it makes his penis look.
I wanna see new pics of his BIG beefy butt!
Love the pot socks!
Britney Spear's ex also got out of shape. He was attractive, now he is not. K-fed is his name. I've seen that happen to many guys who let themselves go.
The pot socks probably contributed to the weight gain. #munchies
those tattos ruined him!
disgusting mess of a celeb people the depravity of the usa is here
Well he's lucky he can still see his penis at all lol. I hope he'll just hire a trainer like everybody else does. It's not like he's busy in school or working a 9-5 and can't find the time. He can slim down whenever he wants.
i feel like this is a publicity, stunt i see weight watchers for men coming, that family has more than enough money, he could have hired a professional trainer a long time a ago and just kept up with it, seeing the trainer 2 or 3 times a week. but this family is so damn crazy i dont know what to think, who says to someone that they are pissed about thier small dick? ugh i just dont get it, maybe its not for me to get
i think he ate one of the jenner twins
^lolol so funny.
I had no idea Rob had gained that much weight. Is he having some health issue or something?
"I'll cast a spell that you can't undo...'til you wake up and you find that you love me too..."
I predicted this 1 year ago... He's clearly depressed.
Damn, Rob!! I an not going to say anything negative because it is easy to put it on, and hard to take it off. I know from experience. Though I have heard that he is really depressed about his weight, and therefore he eats more to feel better. A horrible cycle to get into. Man that must be the cost of being a Kardashian if I were him I'd get as far away from that family as I could!!
All I can say is WOW! I hope he can pull it together. He beat KFed in the race of greatest drop off in hotness!

Some of the most common are:
- Heavy periods that are not controlled on hormones or an inability to take hormones to control the period.
- Large fibroids that press on the bladder or the bowel, or are so large they can be felt on the abdomen.
- Endometriosis (usually if this is requiring a hysterectomy it is due to both pain and bleeding).
- Uterine artery embolization where microscopic plastic beads are inserted into the uterine arteries to block the majority of blood flow to the uterus. This causes the uterus to slowly shrink in size. The uterus may decrease to half of its normal size within 2-3 years. Initially there is a lot of inflammation of the uterus as it loses its blood supply. The pain associated with this will usually require ibuprofen and narcotics. Most women stay in the hospital for overnight, and it is usually about 2 weeks before you are feeling well enough to resume normal activities.
- Myomectomy, a surgical removal of the fibroids. There are two ...

To my understanding, the general rule of thumb for a creating registry is as follows: any event marking a significant life change (marriage, baby, new home, etc.) warrants one. And while no one would argue that heading off to college would fit that description, only recently have college-bound students been encouraged to register for items that would smooth their transitions to college life.
Once reserved for brides and moms-to-be, big box retailers are opening up their gift registries to college students. Target rolled out a college registry in June and already thousands have signed up. "Our college-bound guests were looking for an easy way to manage lists and share them with friends and family online," said Jenna Reck, public relations manager for Target. "When we looked at the registry experience we already offered through the Target Wedding and Target Baby registries, we quickly realized that it was the right solution." The registry will be accessible year-round and is geared toward students in every stage of their campus lives. Other retailers including Bed Bath and Beyond, The Container Store and Walmart also have registries that cater to college students. (For more on this story, click here.)

Here at Scholarships.com, we make a point to advocate the importance of funding your college education the right way (for free!) and while financing your higher education solely with scholarships is an amazing feat, there is another factor to consider: colleges with no tuition to be begin with. Yup, they totally exist – check out the 11 colleges below where you can earn a degree for free:
We should also mention that elite universities with healthy endowments also tout financial aid programs that pay 100 percent of tuition, room and board and fees for students from families with certain incomes – $75,000 or less at MIT, $65,000 or less at Harvard and Yale, and $60,000 of less at Columbia, Cornell, Stanford, Duke, Brown and Texas A&M. For a more detailed look at any of the schools listed or hundreds of other universities, check out our College Search. And let us know where you're heading this fall in the comments section!

Are you one of the millions of Americas suffering from "Game of Thrones" withdrawal? Do you stay up late at night pondering how the Lannister's will pay their debts next season? Wonder if Ser Gregor Clegane will turn into Cersei's dream Frankenstein Monster? Speculate when winter will freaking come already?! Unfortunately, we'll have to wait close to 10 months to get our next "Game of Thrones" fix...unless, of course, you're at the University of Virginia: This summer, UVA is offering an English course on the wildly popular HBO show. Thronees rejoice!
According to UVA Today, the discussion-based class will be taught by associate professor of English Lisa Woolfork over four weeks this summer. The course will be divided between the first "Game of Thrones" novels and the first three seasons of the show. "One of the goals behind this class was to teach students how the skills that we use to study literature are very useful skills for reading literature and TV in conjunction," Woolfork said. "'Game of Thrones' is popular, it's interesting, but it's also very serious. There are a lot of things in the series that are very weighty, and very meaningful, and can be illuminated through the skills of literary analysis." (For more on this story, click here.)
While classes rooted in popular culture is not a new phenomenon on college campuses – Frostburg State University in Maryland has been offering "The Science of Harry Potter" as a three-credit seminar for years – what's your stance on the educational value of offering such a course? Do you think colleges are pandering to students' wants verses needs? Share your thoughts in the comments section.

When it comes to paying for a college education, it seems as though students have two options: deal with impossibly high payments while they're in school or crippling debt for years afterwards. Well, Oregon students were provided a third option last year when legislators approved the Pay it Forward plan that would allow students to attend state colleges without paying tuition or taking out student loans but would instead commit a small percentage of their future incomes to repaying the state. It turns out, however, that said plan isn't the saving grace for college students afterall.
First proposed by students at Portland State University, Pay It Forward has drawn serious criticism since Oregon passed a law to study the idea. According to a report by the American Association of State Colleges and Universities, analysis shows that the plan would leave most graduates deeper in debt than if they had taken out loans and would throw colleges' balance sheets into uncertainty. Here are some of the more prevalent points in the association's report but for a more detailed look, click here:
Early estimates suggest that Oregon would have to take about 3 percent of a former student's earnings for 20 years for it to work. With that being said, what are your thoughts on Pay It Forward? Do you think it's too soon to tell if this is a viable option for other states to adapt?

With recent college graduates facing an unemployment rate of 6.3 percent and substantially lower starting salaries, we have to ask: What path should students take in order to flourish after graduation? And while there isn't one direct route that translates into post-collegiate success, H&R Block has compiled the top 10 majors with the highest unemployment rates for recent college graduates:
What are your thoughts on the majors that made the list? Do you agree with the sentiment that these majors that aren't in high demand should be avoided or should students be encouraged to pursue their passion regardless of potentially high unemployment rates? Let us know your thoughts in the comments section. For more information on how to choose a major,the most popular college majors and 10 things to consider before choosing your major, head over to Scholarships.com's College Prep section.

If you're a recent college graduate, chances are you're having a difficult time finding a full-time position in your field of study. It's nothing to be embarrassed about – times are tough and opportunities are slim – but you're not alone: According to new census data, though college graduates with degrees in science, technology, engineering or mathematics are more likely than other college graduates to have a job, most don't work in STEM fields.
On Thursday, the U.S. Census Bureau's American Community Survey released data that showed nearly 75 percent of all holders of bachelor's degrees in STEM disciplines don't have jobs in STEM occupations. Liana Christin Landivar, a sociologist with the Census Bureau, noted that the Census Bureau does not classify doctors as STEM professionals, which would also affect the overall percentages; she also said there are multiple reasons why students don't get STEM jobs. On a positive note, STEM degrees provide a wide range of career options, as students aren't shoehorned into one particular position. Anthony Carnevale, director of the Georgetown University Center on Education and the Workforce, said STEM degrees are becoming "universal degrees" and that the report is not an indication of an oversupply of STEM graduates. (For more on this survey, click here.)
Given the collective push across campuses nationwide to increase participation and graduation rates in STEM disciplines, have you been swayed into pursuing a STEM field? Would you accept an offer for a position that wasn't in your field of study? Share your thoughts in the comments section. And for tips on finding employment after college, building a resume and preparing for your first job out of college, check out Scholarships.com's After College section.

Marywood Expands MSW Program to the Poconos
Marywood University and East Stroudsburg University recently signed an agreement that will allow Marywood to offer its Master of Social Work (M.S.W.) degree on East Stroudsburg's campus. Beginning fall 2013, M.S.W. students in Stroudsburg and the surrounding areas can earn their Marywood MSW degree off-campus—a move that professor Lloyd Lyter, Ph.D., director of the program, calls "significant."
The Marywood-East Stroudsburg University social work collaboration comes at a good time. The Pennsylvania Department of Labor and Industry has anticipated a nearly ten percent growth in the need for social workers over the next decade in the state. According to Dr. Lyter, this collaboration will help meet that need, providing Marywood students with education and training that will give them a competitive edge in the job market.
Sister Anne Munley, IHM, Ph.D., president of Marywood University, spoke to a joint crowd of Marywood University and East Stroudsburg University students, faculty and staff at the agreement signing on East Stroudsburg University's campus on June 14.
"There is a growing demand for social workers with graduate degrees, particularly in this region," Sr. Anne said. "It is only fitting, then, that we expand our educational outreach by offering a graduate social work program to students in the Poconos, at a location nearer to where the social work professionals of this area live, work, and make a difference each day."
Marywood's School of Social Work and Administrative Studies began in 1969. Since that time more than 4,000 students have graduated from the university with a social work degree.
