One of the items of business for the City of Logan's regular council meeting to be held Tues., Oct. 8, will be to accept the resignation of Mike Allie from the city's council.
According to Logan Mayor Serafino Nolletti, a letter deposited in his home mailbox Tuesday evening contained a letter of resignation from councilmember Mike Allie.
The letter reads:
"Letter of Resignation
To the Mayor and city council of the City of Logan
I, Mike Allie, hereby resign from my seat/position of city councilmember. It has been a pleasure serving with you all. May God bless you in your future endeavors.
Mike Allie"
The letter was signed by Mike Allie and gave no reason or explanation for the resignation.
"When I went home Tuesday night… I saw this envelope sticking out of my mailbox," Nolletti said. "It was made out to the Mayor and Council. I didn't know what it was… when I opened it, it was his letter of resignation."
Nolletti said he hasn't spoken with Allie to confirm that the letter was actually written and submitted to the council by Allie.
"It appears to be his handwriting," Nolletti said.
Allie, who has been absent from the monthly council meetings for several months, was recently mentioned in connection to an arson fraud case in Logan.
Allie, along with his brother Jamil, were mentioned during the course of testimony at an arraignment for Gregory Glick, Guy Miller, Shawn Simon and Jamey Thompson, all who are charged in the arson fraud case. During the testimony at the September 6 hearing, it was revealed that the Allies cooperated with the Federal government and taped conversations and phone calls during the investigation into the case.
Nolletti said he doesn't know who will be appointed to finish Allie's term, which expires in May 2015.
"We don't have anyone yet to fill his seat," Nolletti said. He also added that there was no time limit on making the selection.

With the overall economy improving little by little, business students are feeling cautiously optimistic about improved job prospects upon graduation. While demand for graduates may be increasing, this does not mean that students will not find the job market to be competitive. Landing one of the coveted positions available is still going to take hard work and, in most cases, some assistance.
For this reason, Loyola University Maryland's Sellinger School of Business and Management has been taking steps to expand the scope of career services for its undergraduate and graduate students alike. Through both a commitment to strengthening existing programs and hard work in creating new initiatives, the Sellinger School in partnership with Loyola's Career Center have boosted the career support and networking available to students.
Beginning this fall, undergraduates at the Evergreen campus were greeted with a message announcing a new program to jumpstart their career activities, Career Navigator. Career Navigator is a rewards program designed to guide students from any undergraduate discipline in career development. The program involves a multi-faceted action plan that will help students meet their career goals while earning rewards for participation in career-related activities, networking events, speaker panels, and visits to The Career Center for enrichment.
"We're really emphasizing that exploring your career interests can be fun and not just something you have to check off of a graduation requirement list or are required to do for course credit," says Kelly Fader, executive assistant in the Sellinger dean's office who has been leading the project. "Career Navigator is creating some friendly competition across the University and really inspiring students to take ownership of their career development."
The new program has the full backing of the Sellinger business and advisory communities.
"It can be hard to get students to realize the value of networking," says Thomas Graff, '99, portfolio manager and partner at Brown Advisory and a member of the Sellinger Board of Sponsors. "It is the kind of thing where there are tremendous benefits in the long run, but perhaps no specific payoff to any given networking interaction. Career Navigator is a great way to bridge that gap. What we are saying to the students is 'Don't worry about whether a given interaction is going to produce any obvious benefit to you. Do it to earn points.'"
Students have been keen to recognize to both recognize the value of the program and have fun with it.
"I was excited to hear that Career Navigator was created during my junior year so that I could take full advantage of it when applying for internships and full time jobs.," says Brendan McGann, '15. "The prizes add a sense of competition and fun to participating in career related activities!"
McGann's take was echoed by fellow student Michele Fischer, '14.
"I think the Career Navigator will benefit me, and others, by giving us the incentive to better ourselves by using on campus resources knowing we can work towards rewards," says Fischer.
In addition to Career Navigator, the Sellinger dean's office and The Career Center have opened the resources of both offices to provide students with momentum-building activities to encourage undergraduates to begin planning for their careers early and often. A series of "Welcome Week" events provided students opportunities to sign-up for the HireLOYOLA job portal, join campus business organizations, have professional LinkedIn portraits taken, and meet representatives from hiring accounting firms. Each event provides an opportunity for students to hone their networking skills.
"In the long run, students will learn that building a professional network is all about small interactions. Through these programs, Loyola is giving students a great head-start on something so vital to career success," says Graff.
For graduate business students, the many different professions and mostly post-working hours necessitate a career services portfolio that is flexible and customizable to the individual.
"Graduate students come from various backgrounds and levels of experience and pursue graduate school for unique reasons," says Catherine Aldecoa, assistant director at The Career Center. "Because of this, it is important for them to have access to services that can be tailored to their specific needs and goals."
Alumni speaker panels and increased hours, visibility, and greater opportunities for development workshops at the graduate centers have created a more robust suite of career options for graduate students. Greater emphasis has also been placed on building alumni and networking relationships, and in developing recruiting models based off the characteristics employers are looking. This has opened up more doors to connect students directly with employers.
"We provide one-on-one career consultations, in order to meet the students where they are, and assist them in getting connected with the employers and alumni contacts that are in their fields of interest," says Aldecoa.
The Career Center, in collaboration with various departments, offices and student organizations across campus, continues to offer a range of career-related events, workshops and programs that students can engage in to help them prepare for and be proactive in their career planning. Throughout the semester, students can take advantage of the networking with employers and Loyola alumni as The Career Center brings a range of companies and industry representatives to campus to speak with students about their organizations, hiring opportunities and provide an inside look into their industries. In addition to these corporate and industry presentations, The Career Center is sponsoring its inaugural Fall Career Fair which will provide undergraduate and graduate students the chance to learn about different full-time and part-time job and internship positions with employers from a variety of industries.


text: Where Do I Start with My ACE Personal Trainer Study Materials? So the day has finally come. Your exam preparation materials have arrived on your doorstep. You carry them inside, carefully rip into the box, and start unpacking. And the materials keep coming. Like clowns out of a VW. And you sit down, and stare, and wonder…where should I start? There are several different combinations of materials you can purchase from ACE to prepare for your exam – some of which include practice tests. I'm going to cover the 4th Edition Study Material for the ACE Personal Trainer Certification Exam. This includes the manuals (ACE's Essentials of Exercise Science for Fitness Professionals and the ACE Personal Trainer Manual, 4th Edition), Master the Manual Study Guide, Sample Tests, Flashcards, Musculoskeletal Anatomy book, the Online Diagnostic Practice Tests, and the Study Coach Program. All right, where to begin? Let's start at the beginning – it's a very good place to start. First, sign up for the 12 or 20-week Study Coach Program. You may have done this during the 'checkout' period of your purchase. But if you haven't…get yourself signed up! I blogged about the study coach program earlier, but it is key to keeping you on track with your studies. It will also remind you of when to take your sample tests and online diagnostics. Next, gather up your manuals and Master the Manual book. You'll start with the ACE's Essentials of Exercise Science manual, then move to the ACE Personal Trainer Manual. The following list details your plan of attack: Open your manual and read the first chapter (remember, you will read through the Essentials manual first, then you will start reading through the ACE Personal Trainer Manual). Once you have finished the chapter, open up your Master the Manual book. Please note, when you are reading the Essentials book, the 'Master the Manual' portion is located at the end of each chapter. Go through the corresponding chapter in Master the Manual and see how many questions you can answer without referring back to your books. After you've answered all you could…open up your manual and work on answering the rest of the Master the Manual questions for that chapter. Turn to Chapter 2, and repeat. The flashcards are focused on the Essentials of Exercise Science book, so be prepared to start working with them right away. As you'll notice, they are grouped according to chapter. But don't forget the key factors when using flashcards! Finally, with the Musculoskeletal Anatomy book, the initial thought is to review this during the anatomy chapter (Chapter 1 of the Essentials manual). But don't stop there! This is a book you can, and should, refer back to throughout your studies. If you've got questions as to how, check out the blog post on studying Anatomy. As you are studying, just remember…there's no rule that says you can only read the materials once! If you've got questions, call up one of our Education Consultants at 1-888-825-3636 x782

Please get back to you wig maker and make sure they make the sizes big enough. The wigs, at least Paula Young, have the tabs so a person could make them smaller, but I've had the last 5 wigs I've bought come so small for a large that I've cut out the tabs, washed them and stretched them, some a couple of times and still at least 3 are too tight.

Hair loss due to chemo. I have at least 20 wigs. They are all brands and styles! I tried the Paula Young wigs last (my mistake!) They are light and comfortable! I bought a large and I just love the fit. Wore right out of the box! My husband loves this wig the best.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

LOVE the Daisy wig!!!!
By Dona
from Piqua, Ohio
I love this wig! I get raves about my hair whenever I wear it and have friends asking me who my stylist is. They are shocked when I tell them it's a wig. I love the color (red is a big change for me!) Thinking about buying more in different colors....since it went on SALE the day after I received it. It is very comfortable to wear....even all day. Requires very little styling, just had to trim the bangs up a bit, shake and go. I have already recommended this wig to several of my friends (and even a couple of strangers!)

This is your best wig ever!!!
By Miss Tulsa

About Me Minimalist
I bought "Daisy" the first time I saw it in your catalog and have maybe 10 of different colors. I bought another a couple of months ago & was amazed at the styling: shorter, lighter, more easily styled, everything is better. You really made me happy with the improvements. I have worn Paula Young wigs since 1970 when my hair fell out and nothing made it grow back. At the time we lived in KC MO and I shopped every sale and have worn so many of your styles. I'm 72 & NO ONE knows that I have worn wigs this long. Good friends & family of course. When someone I know well asks me who does my hair, I sometimes ask them if they want to borrow it. That always brings a good time. You have the best, most stylish & easy to wear wigs in my opinion. I do not wear the expensive ones because the ones I like are inexpensive. Thank you so much. I have recommended them to friends.

Outstanding style and comfort
By Jazzycook
from Texas
This is my first Daisy wig and I am very happy with it. Very natural looking and a super cute style. I have been wearing Carly and like it too but I think this is my new favorite. I never thought I would wear wigs, but due to extreme thinning I decided to try. I have been pleasantly surprised that these two styles do not look wiggy! I did return several others that had too much hair. Returns are not a problem. Thank you Paula Young, you have made my life much easier!!

i use it ever day and love it. no one knows it is a wig. i just wish when you go on to get one that they would mail it out when they say they will , and did not get a e-mail telling me that it was mailed out , i had to call them.

By Charlene
from Springville, AL.
Right now I have 4 Daisy's in my collection. This wig is the best! Out of box, shake it and go!!! If I want the top a bit less spikey I just use the spray. I can part it in the middle, or on both sides; bangs all across my forehead or swept to the side. A variety of colors is the key. The 8/12A is a perfect match to my own color so I wear it behind my ears. My 'sideburns' are scant, making the wig look soooooo natural. Because my sideburns are so slight I have the wig in light shades. Which is better? My own color? The blonde shades, or the highlighted? ALL OF THEM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Oh, and I'm never afraid to let people know it's a wig. Ahh, to go out in any weather and know that my variety of Paula Young wigs will always look GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!!! Quality of service? Can't get any better!

Never without it!
By Joyce

I love the 3 1/2 inch nape which is hard to find in a short wig, and the amount of hair is just right--not bushy and not skimpy. I get many compliments on the style and color (101) from people who don't know I wear a wig.

By Panzee

Just received the Daisy wig yesterday and could not be more pleased. The style is as shown and the fit is very comfortable. I ordered the exclusive color 24T/18 and I love the shaded blend. It gives the wig a very natural look. I have already had a few compliments. I'm halfway through chemo, so I feel relieved to find such a great wig at a critical time. Shipping was quick as well so thanks, thanks!

LASEK laser eye surgery
Introduction to LASEK Laser Eye Surgery
LASEK laser eye surgery is a newer surgery that combines many of the benefits of older vision correction surgeries, explain doctors at The Cleveland Clinic.
Laser epithelial keratomileusis, or LASEK, combines benefits of the two most commonly performed procedures -- LASIK and PRK. LASEK laser eye surgery is used to treat astigmatism, nearsightedness or farsightedness.
In LASEK laser eye surgery, the epithelium, or outer layer of the cornea, is cut not with the microkeratome cutting tool used in LASIK, but with a finer blade called a trephine and a 20% alcohol solution.

Kent State Honors Three Faculty Members with 2011 Distinguished Scholar Awards, April 15Posted Apr. 8, 2011
Beethoven specialist, accounting scholar and nuclear physicist to be honored
Three Kent State University faculty members will be recognized as Distinguished Scholar Award recipients at a luncheon ceremony on April 15. The recipients of the 2011 award are Dr. Theodore Albrecht from the School of Music, Dr. Ran Barniv from the Department of Accounting and Dr. Declan Keane from the Department of Physics.
The awards luncheon, to be held at 11 a.m. in room 306 of the Kent Student Center, is part of the university's annual Celebration of Scholarship event that also includes a student poster display and Faculty Recognition Program to be held in the Kent State University Library. Online registration at http://www.kent.edu/research/cos is required by April 11 to attend the free luncheon.
About Theodore Albrecht
Albrecht, a Kent State faculty member since 1992, teaches musicology and music history and is best known as a Beethoven specialist. Albrecht is widely known for his work in Classical and Romantic music, the early 20th century and American music.
"Letters to Beethoven," a three-volume collection of more than 500 documents, dozens never before available in any language, was written by Albrecht and published by the University of Nebraska Press in 1996. For this work, he was given the 1997 Deems Taylor ASCAP award and Barry Cooper of BBC Music Magazine hailed it as "the largest and most important collection of Beethoven source materials to be published in English for many years."
Recently, Albrecht has been offered a contract by the widely respected Indiana University Press for a book titled "Beethoven and the Orchestral Musicians of Vienna" to be published in late 2013.
Albrecht resides in Kent, Ohio.
About Ran Barniv
Barniv is globally recognized as one of the top accounting scholars and regularly presents his scientific work at primary international and national conferences. His research interests are in financial accounting and international accounting with a focus on regulation of corporations and capital markets and financial analyst performance. His scientific findings have an impact on academic research paradigms and indicate that regulations of crises and capital markets have some positive effects on accounting standard setters, corporations, financial analysts and investors.
Since joining Kent State in 1990, Barniv's publication record is exceptional, focusing on quality rather than quantity. He published many articles, including 11 in the top 10 out of 350 accounting journals, seven in the last five years. He has published two articles on regulation and accounting effects in the top-rated accounting journal, The Accounting Review, which has a 90-95 percent annual rejection rate.
Barniv lives in Stow, Ohio.
About Declan Keane
Keane, a physics faculty member at Kent State since 1988, is a prominent figure in experimental nuclear science. Keane's research group made worldwide headlines in 2010 after their discovery of the heaviest antimatter nucleus was published in the journal Science. This antinucleus was the first to contain a type of quark not found in ordinary nuclei or antinuclei, and the discovery opens a completely new region of the three‐dimensional generalization of the Periodic Table of elements. The published measurements have direct implications for ongoing searches for new phenomena in the cosmos.
The postdoctoral and graduate students in Keane's group are stationed at Brookhaven National Laboratory in New York where the experiments are conducted as part of a large international collaboration at an accelerator measuring 2.4 miles in circumference, while Keane himself mostly works remotely from Kent. Previously, his research focus was on an earlier generation experiment at Brookhaven, and he served as spokesperson for the 55 physicists from 12 institutions that carried out this research.
Keane is a resident of Kent.
About the 2011 Celebration of Scholarship
The events that comprise the annual celebration showcase research and creative activity and acknowledge, reward and support the culture of research and inquiry at Kent State. All of the events are free and open to the public.
Other events for Celebration of Scholarship on April 15 include:
- From 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., student posters, exhibits, demonstrations and performances from each college will be shown in the public areas of the Library.
- From 3 p.m. to 5 p.m., a Faculty Recognition Program Reception will be held on the first floor of the Library. Plated books will be on display, and commemorative booklets will be available. Kent State Provost and Senior Vice President for Academic Affairs Robert G. Frank will recognize the faculty members who have received tenure and/or promotion in the last year. Family, friends and colleagues are encouraged to attend. Light refreshments will be served.
The 2011 Celebration of Scholarship is organized and sponsored by Kent State's University Research Council, Division of Research and Sponsored Programs, University Libraries, and Division of Graduate Studies. More information is available at www.kent.edu/research/cos.

Men's Cross Country Picked to Finish Ninth in Preseason Poll
August 29, 2013
MISENHEIMER, N.C. - The Pfeiffer University mens cross country team has been voted to finish in a ninth-place tie in the 2013 Conference Carolinas, the league announced on Thursday.
The new-look Falcons feature a roster of six incoming freshmen, which Head Coach Scott Nolt indicated was one of the better hauls during his tenure.
We have a solid group of returners but this freshmen group is the best that I have brought in, said Nolt. We are going to rely on a solid core of runners and have a deep team this year. We will also rely heavily on our captains to provide leadership.
Those captains are Cody Jones and Cody Bivens and both are battle-tested seniors. The Falcons will need to replace their top runner, Will Oliver, from a season ago but have a hard-working group who are ready for the challenge.

Agnes Ho said her father suggested she study library science when she came to America — as both a minority and a woman — because every town will always have a library.
Now the director of libraries for the Neuse Regional Library System, Ho, who was born in Shanghai, China and raised in Taiwan, started her professional career 40 years ago at the Kinston-Lenoir County Public Library after earning a Master of Library Science from Syracuse University in Syracuse, N.Y.
"(My dad) wanted me to come to this county for the advancement of my career," said Ho, who received her education — including a college diploma — in Taiwan. "My mom was so brave to send me far away."
Starting as a reference librarian when her husband Howard Ho got a job in engineering at the Kinston DuPont plant, she was promoted to the Director of Libraries for the Neuse system, which serves three counties and eight respective libraries.
Ho wanted to major in business since she was "business-minded" since childhood, but instead she listened to her father and pursued a career in library science.
"In China, you have to remember, daddy is the boss," she said in her unique Chinese accent, "but I'm very pleased I've been able to use my business mind to run the library."
She was packaging a budget for the system at her office Tuesday.
"When people think about (the) library, they think about books or magazines," said Ho, who called herself very organized. "Running a library is really like running a business."
She recalls various updates to the library in her four decades involved. In 1973, the organization was housed out of the Kinston-Lenoir Chamber of Commerce building before relocating to the current North Queen Street address in 1984.
Other updates include access to electronic books and music compared to hard copies.
"We are preparing for 21st century changes to make sure modern technology is available at the library," Ho said. "It's big changes."
Language and food were major adjustments for her when she arrived to the United States.
Having spent two years in New York before moving to Kinston, Ho noted Northern speech was faster than Southern speech.
"When I first came to this country, whenever I talk with you, I think in Chinese first then I quickly translate to English," Ho said, who learned English in high school.
She now skips the Chinese and thinks directly in English, still using her native tongue with family, including her two children, siblings and mother.
Ho frequently indulges in Chinese soap operas and novels, a few of which are on the bookshelf in her office.
Kinston culture also differs from China.
"In China, we do not smile at anyone if we don't know you," she said. "I always think people here are very nice and friendly."
Ho plans to stay in the city a few more years. Her husband's had opportunities to transfer to other places, but opted out because she has built a successful career here.
Along with her leadership role in the library system, she serves on the Board of Directors of the Pride of Kinston and Lenoir Memorial Hospital.
"Kinston is really growing," Ho said as she remembers there wasn't so much as a McDonald's when she first arrived. "I want to encourage parents to bring their kids to the library. I would say reading is the key to success."

Khimik Yuzhne have lived to see another day, defeating EWE Baskets 66-61 to force game three in their EuroChallenge quarter-final play-off series.
Following on from an explosive start to the game that saw the home team leading by as many as 11 points late in the opening frame, it appeared their wings had been clipped following the half-time break when game one star Julius Jenkins sunk a three-pointer with 2:41 remaining in the third quarter, to put EWE Baskets up 43-41.
Khimik did a better job at neutralising Jenkins this time round, holding the American to 13 points.
However, Miroslav Todic answered back with a three of his own at the other end of the court, giving the lead back to the hosts. With a frame remaining, it was Khimik up by three, 48-45.
Revitalised following the quarter break, Khimik appeared set to put the game beyond doubt, extending the lead to eight points on a Willie Deane free throw with 4:28 to play.
Deane was the only player from the winning team to make double figures, scoring 15 points.
But Khimik were not going to be allowed to do it easily and when Konrad Wysocki made a three-point and-one play, converting the extra with 45 seconds remaining, it was back to a four-point ball game, 63-59.
Robin Smeulders followed up with a dunk to bring it within two, but composure from Suad Sehovic and Sava Lesic from the free-throw line confirmed Khimik's win.
Smeulders' dunk meant the German ended the night with a game-high 16 points.

Khimik player Sergiy Popov"It was a very hard game for us. All players were trying to play defense, however, many times missed open shots, but most importantly - we have won and we will try to do everything on the road to win."
Khimik head coach Zvezdan Mitrovic"I can say that our players were good today, played at a high level in defense. Our task was to stop Paulding and Jenkins, this also was made. Thanks to our fans, they supported us well today. We'll try to do our best in the third game."
Oldenburg player Jannik Freese"We played good in defense, allowing the opponent to score only 66 points, but the opponent defended more aggressively - we scored only 61 points."
Oldenburg head coach Sebastian Machowski"If we talk about the game, the defense and the desire - Khimik was better. In offense we made a lot of turnovers, missed a lot of free throws and three point shots. We will try to play much better in defense in Germany, because we really want to reach the Final Four."

EVANSTON, Ill. – For the first time this season, the Miami University volleyball team dropped a tournament match when it fell to IUPUI, 1-3 (25-23, 22-25, 17-25, 22-25), to open the Wildcat Classic on Friday. The RedHawks fall to 8-2 overall, while the Jaguars improve to 5-8.
Junior outside hitter/setter Meg Riley had her second triple-double of the season and 10th of her career. She finished with a team-leading 14 kills, 27 assists and 13 digs. She hit .323 for the match.
IUPUI jumped to a 5-2 lead to begin set one. Two kills each from Riley and senior outside hitter Madison Dodd off of assists from freshman setter Krista Brakauskas were part of a 10-6 run that put Miami in front, 12-11. Riley continued to attack, as she recorded three more kills to help the RedHawks increase the advantage to 18-15. The Jaguars fought back to tie the score at 21. The teams traded side outs until it was tied at 23. From there, back-to-back kills by sophomore outside hitter Annie Reiswig gave Miami a 25-23 win.
Set two saw IUPUI take a 7-3 advantage early. Two kills from Riley and one each from junior middle hitter Chelsea Visk and sophomore middle hitter Jenny Ingle were part of an 8-3 answer that put the 'Hawks back in front, 11-10. The Jaguars retook control with an 11-3 run that put them up, 21-14. Miami did not give up as a service ace by Riley, two kills from sophomore outside hitter Sarah Chaney and a kill from Reiswig were part of a 7-1 run that closed the RedHawks to within one at 21-22 and forced an IUPUI timeout. Out of the break, a service error by Miami helped the Jaguars start a 3-1 run that finished off a 25-22 victory.
Ingle had a pair of kills off of Riley assists as the teams traded side outs to begin set three. Tied at five, a 10-4 run by the Jaguars gave them control at 15-9. Ingle had two more kills, while junior libero Tori Clifford recorded a service ace to keep Miami close, but IUPUI eventually pulled away for a 25-17 win.
IUPUI opened set four with a 5-0 lead. The RedHawks answered back with a 12-2 run that gave them a 12-7 advantage. During the run, freshman middle hitter Paige Hill made her return and teamed up with Visk for two blocks. Hill and Riley each had two kills as Miami maintained a five-point advantage throughout the middle of the set. Trailing 14-19, the Jaguars went on a 6-2 run to pull within one at 20-21. Reiswig answered with a kill, but IUPUI followed with the next four points in a row to take a 25-22 win.
Ingle finished with 11 kills, while Reiswig contributed 10. Brakauskas had her second career double-double with 25 assists and 11 digs. Dodd led Miami with a career-high 20 digs. The RedHawks hit .260 for the match, but the Jaguars were able to answer back with a .289 hitting percentage.
Miami continues play at the Wildcat Invitational later Friday when it takes on the host, Northwestern, at 8 p.m. (EDT).

travoprost - ophthalmic solution, Travatan
GENERIC NAME: TRAVOPROST - OPHTHALMIC SOLUTION (TRA-voh-prost)
BRAND NAME(S): Travatan
Medication Uses | How To Use | Side Effects | Precautions | Drug Interactions | Overdose | Notes | Missed Dose | Storage
USES: Travoprost is used to treat high pressure inside the eye due to glaucoma (open-angle type) or other eye diseases (e.g., ocular hypertension). Lowering high pressure inside the eye can help prevent blindness. This medication works by regulating the flow of fluid within the eye to maintain a normal pressure.
HOW TO USE: Apply this medication in the affected eye(s) usually once a day in the evening, or as directed by your doctor. Do not use travoprost more often because it will not work as well.To apply eye drops, wash your hands first. To avoid contamination, do not touch the dropper tip or let it touch your eye or any other surface.Remove contact lenses before using this medication if your brand contains the preservative benzalkonium chloride. This preservative can be absorbed by contact lenses. Wait at least 15 minutes after using this medication before putting your lenses back in.Tilt your head back, look upward and pull down the lower eyelid to make a pouch. Hold the dropper directly over your eye and place one drop into the pouch. Look downward and gently close your eyes for 1 to 2 minutes. Place one finger at the corner of your eye (near the nose) and apply gentle pressure. This will prevent the medication from draining out. Try not to blink and do not rub your eye. Repeat these steps for your other eye if so directed.Do not rinse the dropper. Replace the dropper cap after each use.If you are using another kind of eye medication (e.g., drops or ointments), wait at least 5 minutes before applying other medications. Use eye drops before eye ointments to allow the eye drops to enter the eye.Use this medication regularly in order to get the most benefit from it. Remember to use it at the same time each day. It is important to continue using travoprost even if you feel well. Most people with glaucoma or high pressure in the eye do not have symptoms.

Home runs at Citi Field
The Mets opened Citi Field on April 13, 2009. For the first three seasons, the spacious stadium proved to be a pitcher's park. Citi Field averaged 1.432 home runs a game from 2009-11, the lowest number in the major leagues. For 2012, the Mets lowered the left field wall from 16 to eight feet and brought in right-centerfield from 415 feet to 398 feet and left-center from 371 feet to 358 feet. For 2015, the Mets adjusted the dimensions again.

USC hires SDSU assistant Tony Bland
Opportunity knocked, and Tony Bland didn't immediately answer. Didn't want to.
He ultimately did, though, and San Diego State's lead basketball recruiter formally accepted an offer Wednesday to become associate head coach at USC under Andy Enfield. The former SDSU guard who regularly tweeted things like #Aztec4life called it "the hardest decision I've ever made in my life."
Bland was offered the job Thursday shortly after arriving in Atlanta for the Final Four, and Enfield wanted an answer that night.
Bland asked for a day to think about it, then another and another and another.
"I took a risk of losing a lot of money, of losing a chance to really provide for my family, because of my loyalty," Bland said. "(Enfield) easily could have said he wasn't going to wait and hired somebody else. I knew that was a risk I was taking, but my heart was so torn.
"That was the first time in a long time I came to tears. I woke up Monday morning, and I was going to stay at San Diego State. But in the end I had to sit back and take my emotions out of it, and think about it from a business standpoint."
There was the raise, from $120,000 per year to a salary package that sources say is worth more $300,000 annually with bonuses. There was the position, going from No. 3 assistant to associate head coach under one of the hottest names in business. There was the location, just miles from where he grew up in South Central Los Angeles.
There also was the situation, a program with little fan interest or recent success.
"It reminded me a lot of the first time I came to San Diego State, when we had no one in the stands at our games," said Bland, who went from Westchester High to Syracuse to SDSU in 2000. "You know me. I want to take that challenge. I want to help get people in the stands. I want to help win championships."
Just two weeks earlier, Bland was shaking Enfield's hand in Philadelphia after the Aztecs lost to Florida Gulf Coast in the NCAA Tournament's round of 32. Little did either know they'd soon be working together on the opposite side of the country.
Enfield has spent most of his career on the East Coast, as an assistant coach with the Boston Celtics and Florida State, and said in his introductory news conference last week that assembling a staff with deep L.A. recruiting ties was a priority. He pursued Bland and Pepperdine assistant Jason Hart, another L.A. prep product who played at Syracuse. He ended up hiring both.
UCLA, Arizona and Oregon all showed interest in Bland as well.
"From the time we recruited him as a student-athlete," SDSU coach Steve Fisher said in a statement, "to when he became a professional player, to when he returned to San Diego State to finish his degree, to his two years with us as an assistant coach, Tony Bland has been family to us. He will continue to be family.

I counsel men and couples struggling with sexual addiction and/or with a variety of relational issues. It's great to be able to suggest to my clients and friends a magazine where men can be real and transparent without degrading or objectifying women with inappropriate pictures or in lewd articles. I give out the magazine to the other men in my clan for birthday presents or for Christmas. I deeply appreciate the articles from/about men of integrity who are willing to live and fight for their families and values.
I ordered this magazine as a gift and accidentally ordered a copy for myself. As a woman, I thought this would be something that I would pass on to another without reading it myself, but I glanced through the first issue and was pleased with many of the articles. Travel, adventure and exciting characters await.
For the money, this was a great deal. My first issue arrived with controversy as Mark Wahlberg was on the cover, making noise that he could have stopped 9/11 from ever happening. I was eager to read the magazine from cover to cover. My second issue came, looking very much like the first one, but I read some interesting articles and am eager to keep reading.
Men's Journal might be one of the most entertaining magazines that i receive. While most of the articles are geared towards the more... 'Adventurous' type, there's still plenty of content to keep the reader interested. The ads are also geared towards men. The occasional cologne or other manly item is sprinkled throughout the magazine but doesn't take up most of the pages within. Overall I recommend this magazine.
Men's Journal Magazine Subscription Review

One of my favorite sections is the "Gear Lab," which provides information about the best types of gear available, from hiking boots to camera mounts to surfboards. Another of my favorite sections is the "Travel" section, which gives insider tips about visiting locations ranging from tropical destinations such as Jamaica and the Caribbean to parks such as Yellowstone and the Rocky Mountain National Park.
Another must-read section is the "Adventure" segment, which is filled with stories about exploring the Red Sea, epic bike tours, rope courses in Thailand, and other places that adventurous men won't want to miss. The "Health and Fitness" section keeps me informed about the latest breaking health news, such as treatments for heart disease, tips for proper gym workouts, healthy alternatives to fast food, and the benefits of multivitamins.

Wits received a big confidence booster as they beat fellow finalists CUT 26-22 while Fort Hare held on for a 28-22 victory against UKZN in the ninth round of the Varsity Shield.
The away victory sees Wits jump to the top of the standings but CUT could still book a home final if they win their last fixture against UKZN in Pietermaritzburg next week. However, winning in Bloemfontein will give Wits the mental advantage heading into the match that will decide who will take on TUT in the Varsity Cup promotion/relegation play-off.
It was CUT who were up at the break as fullback Andre le Roux kicked four penalties for a 12-8 advantage. The lead jumped several times in the second stanza but the visitors sealed the game as inside centre Rudolf Prinsloo slotted a penalty and wing Riaan Arends dotted down at the death.
In Alice, Fort Hare picked up their second win of the campaign as they beat Impis at home.
The hosts took the lead as lock Sokhana Mkona crossed the chalk and flyhalf Saneliso Ngoma converted a penalty. However, fullback Jaco Potgieter put UKZN 13-8 ahead as he scored a try and added the conversion and two penalties. Fort Hare scored two more tries in the second stanza to seal the game.

Smells very good, but dunno if its for me yet. Its very good, but kind of sweet and medical for my taste. Might have to let it go for something else.

I own all except Passage d'Enfer already.... PB and PP in 15 ml sizes and a Tea For Two in 100 ml. WIth all the talk about it getting discontinued, I thought I would get a back up bottle. I may give it to a friend as a present, though.
There was a 5th scent ordered and it wasn't included in the shipment. I'm not sure if it's on backorder, or never to come. I wrote L'Artisan about what's up, so hope to hear from them soon about it.

Just bought 30ml bottles of PdN's New York, Balle de Match and Cedrat Intense. I have owned 100ml bottles of the latter two before, but sold them last year as I doubted I'd ever get through them. Recently decided I missed them, so the 30mls are a sort of compromise .

State Parks Investigation Shows Intentional Hiding of Funds
The California Attorney General's office has released its investigation into the funding surplus at the state Parks Department.
As Amy Quinton reports from Sacramento, it shows that only part of the $54 million dollars found in two funds were intentionally hidden from the Department of Finance.
The audit shows senior management at the parks department intentionally underreported as much as 20 million dollars beginning in 1996. It found that $34 million concealed in one fund was unintentional. But it's a different story for the State Parks and Recreation Fund.
The audit found money there was hidden unintentionally at first, but then it became "conscious and deliberate". Many top parks officials admitted they were concerned about future budget cuts and knew of the concealment.
But the investigation failed to determine if former Parks Director Ruth Coleman knew about the hidden funds. She resigned last July when the scandal became public.
The Attorney General interviewed 40 witnesses as part of the investigation. Coleman refused to agree to an interview on the advice of her attorney.

Real Women share their most embarrassing moments -- prepare to cringe
We've all had a wardrobe malfunction (although few as public as Janet Jackson's little Super Bowl mishap) -- skirt tucked into our underwear, bathing suit top slips up, pants bust a seam. But for some reason it's a lot funnier when it happens to other people, right?
Click here to skip ahead to the stories
Maybe it makes you feel better about your own embarrassing moments (a friendly reminder that it really does happen to everyone), or maybe you just like laughing at other peoples' misfortune (er, I hope that's not the case). Whatever your reason, get ready to LOL at these hilariously cringe-worthy wardrobe malfunctions.
We got real readers to spill their absolute most embarrassing moments -- or ones that happened to their "friends" (yeah, we're so not buying that). Plus, we even got a guy to share his horrendous wardrobe malfunction -- yep, it happens to guys too, although they seem better at laughing at themselves for some reason.
Have you had an embarrassing wardrobe mishap? Please share it in the comments. It'll feel good to get the story out, and you may brighten the day of a poor girl who just looked down at her white pants and realized it's "that time of the month" (we feel for ya).

Very well stated remark in "Shale pits environmental versus economic interests". If the health and environmental concerns are neglected, they will be addressed when the disaster happens (and it will happen), and then the costs both economically and human life will be massively higher.

ALLENDALE, Mich. - Senior Layne Baggett set a school record and freshman Megan Beaver was victorious on the track to highlight the Miami University women's track and field team's showing Friday at the GVSU Big Meet, hosted by Grand Valley State at the Kelly Family Sports Center. The RedHawks' throwers, however, competed separately at the Hoosier Hills Invitational on Friday, hosted by Indiana University at Gladstein Fieldhouse.
The GVSU Big Meet featured over 50 teams, including multiple nationally ranked teams in both Division I and Division II, as well as seven other Mid-American Conference schools.
Baggett (Pittsburgh, Pa.) broke the record in the 60m hurdles with her finals time of 8.45, which bested Erin Connolly's mark of 8.46 set in 2003. She was the top qualifier in prelims in 8.51 but was edged out in the final by GVSU's Kalena Franklin, who was second in prelims, as Baggett placed second in the final. Baggett also placed 10th in the 60m dash invitational in 7.72.
In the 600m open run, Beaver (Brecksville, Ohio) won the race in a field of 31 with a personal-best time of 1:35.66, which ties her for ninth in school history. It was her first individual collegiate win. Sophomore Taylor Wickware (Geneva, Ill.) was not far behind in fourth in 1:36.03.
Freshman Kala Allen (East Amherst, N.Y.) took sixth in the 400m dash invitational in 56.55. She also helped Miami's 4x400m relay team place sixth in a season-best 3:48.60, which ranks seventh in school history. Allen ran the relay along with classmate Kathie Wollney (Cary, Ill.) and sophomores Charlotte Myers (Bexley, Ohio) and Gretchen Walter (Piqua, Ohio).
Sophomore Jess Hoover (Hilliard, Ohio) placed 18th in her first collegiate 5K in 17:23.53, tops among four RedHawks in a large field of 113 runners. Former RedHawk Rachel Patterson ('11) won the race in 16:17.23, running unattached with the Brooks/Gazelle company.
In the 3000m run invitational, sophomore Elisa Frazier (Williamsville, N.Y.) nabbed 10th, clocking a personal-best 9:57.88. Junior Erin Riley (Avon Lake, Ohio) crossed in 16th in the 800m run invitational in an indoor personal-best 2:15.79.
In field action, redshirt junior Ashley Zaper (Whitehouse, Ohio) was ninth in the high jump (1.64m/5-4.5) while sophomore Jasmine Watts (Carmel, Ind.) was eighth in the long jump (5.33m/17-6).
Among the RedHawks competing at the Hoosier Hills Invitational, redshirt senior Alexandra Roberts (Hilliard, Ohio) earned runner-up in the shot put with a season-best heave of 15.05m/49-4.5, which is the sixth-best throw in school history, all of which are by Roberts. She finished behind only Indiana's Kyla Buckley (15.63m/51-3.5). In the weight throw, redshirt senior Samantha Gable (Greenfield, Ind.), who was eighth in the shot put, placed fifth with a toss of 16.68m/54-8.75.
The RedHawks have one final tune-up before the MAC Championships Feb. 22-23 as Miami competes at the Ball State Quadrangular Friday, Feb. 15 in Muncie, Ind.

Industry Insights and Lessons Learned
Capital Connection 2012 kicks off on May 23 with the opening keynote from trailblazing serial entrepreneur, Kevin P. Ryan. Sharing his experience and insights from the launch of five companies in four years, the former CEO of DoubleClick will offer his views on game-changing technologies that are reshaping multiple industries. Ryan, Founder and CEO of Gilt Groupe, will keynote the opening session of Capital Connection'12 on Wednesday, May 23 at 5:00 p.m.
Widely-recognized as one of the nation's leading industry innovators, Ryan launched Gilt Groupe in 2007 as an invitation-only e-commerce site of highly coveted women's apparel and accessories offered at insider prices. This innovative e-commerce model re-invented the consumer online purchasing experience and, today, Gilt Groupe serves more than three million members. Ryan leveraged the popularity of the Gilt Groupe platform to serve as the launching pad for several business lines catering to home, children, men's apparel and gear (GiltMAN), vacation travel (Jetsetter), local services and experiences (Gilt City) and Gilt Japan, the leading flash-sale site in Japan.
Beyond the Gilt Groupe, Ryan is also distinguished for his groundbreaking technology achievements in industry verticals including online advertising, financial media and data management. His entrepreneurial vision was fostered during his nine years as President and later Chief Executive of DoubleClick. Ryan succeeded in growing DoubleClick from a 20-person start-up to a global industry leader with more than 1500 employees. DoubleClick was sold to a private equity firm in 2005, and later acquired by Google in 2008. He founded the New York-based companies Business Insider, 10gen/MongoDB. Ryan currently serves as Chairman of Business Insider and 10gen/MongoDB.
"With the spotlight squarely on promoting entrepreneurs, across all stages of growth and industry sectors, hearing from an entrepreneur's entrepreneur will set the stage for a content-rich, conference agenda that should not be missed," said Julia Spicer, Executive Director of the Mid-Atlantic Venture Association. "The Kevin Ryan success story of an entrepreneur who has built five companies in four years and sold two will be an explosive motivator for technology-driven entrepreneurs engaged in accelerated company-building and seasoned executives looking to take their established firms to another level."

CPC-Terrace tops adversity, Tulalip Heritage
Others step up to send Lions to district title game after top scorer hurt
Already playing without their second-leading scorer, CPC-Terrace lost leading scorer Terry Eun in the first half of Thursday's tri-district semifinal against Tulalip Heritage. Eun suffered with what his coach Patrick Russell thought was a stinger. Second-leading scorer Eric Matson broke his left ankle in an earlier district game against Lopez Island.
Picking up the slack in the absence of its top two scorers didn't seem to be a problem for Cedar Park Christian. The Lions had four players score 13 points or more as they held on to beat Tulalip Heritage 77-72 and advance to the 1B Tri-District championship game on Monday night.
"To have guys step and play was just huge," Russell said.
The Lions built a 10-point lead in the first quarter and seemed to be in control throughout the first half, but the Hawks were resilient enough to stay close.
Tulalip Heritage's resilience paid off in the second half. The Hawks closed out the third quarter on an 11-4 run that got them to within four points at 57-53 heading into the final quarter.
The Lions responded as they had to every other Hawks' run during the game. Austin Schley hit one of his four 3s and Micah Patterson was fouled on a three-point attempt and made all three free-throws, sparking the Lions on an 8-2 run to start the fourth quarter and re-extend the lead to 10.
"We talk about not allowing extended runs," Russell said. "I'm also one that I don't call a lot of timeouts if they do go on a four- or five- or even a nine-point swing. If they get into the double digits than I will use a timeout, but we have to learn in playoff basketball that we have to value timeouts and endure other teams trying to make a run at us."
Each of Schley's four 3-pointers served as Tulalip Heritage momentum killers and were much needed with two of the team's top scorers out with injury.
"He's a solid shooter," Russell said. "He doesn't look to go inside a whole lot. He's really stepped up for Eric. He's basically replaced Eric in that starting spot."
Matson is likely out for the remainder of the postseason. Eun's status is uncertain. He will have to be evaluated further before he can make a return.
Even if the team's top two scorers can't return, it seems CPC-Terrace will be fine with scorers three through six. Schley had 13 points, Daniel Schettler and Patterson each had 15 and Wilson Reidt led all scorers with 18.
"Our goal is to score 70 points a game and we scored 77 tonight," Russell said. "We want to get the ball out early and go out and get rebounds, play at a frantic pace and just have energy."
Keanu Hamilton and Payton Comenote each scored 16 points to lead the Hawks.

Participants will view examples of classroom portfolio evidence and have the opportunity to work with sample documentation through a variety of hands-on learning activities. This course includes exclusive access to a sample portfolio created by NAEYC Academy staff.
Learning Outcomes
By completing this online learning program, teachers will be able to:
- explain the purpose of a classroom portfolio,
- describe the benefits of creating a classroom portfolio, and
- identify strategies for selecting and organizing portfolio evidence.
Who Should Participate
The target audience includes early childhood teaching staff and their administrators, but it is also relevant for anyone involved in documenting young children's learning experiences including faculty, trainers, consultants, students, and others.
This program is self-paced and is designed for individual users. Upon enrollment, each user will have 90 days from the date of purchase to complete the program. During the 90 days, users may start and stop the course at anytime and return to review any section of the course. Access to the course is available from any computer with high-speed internet access.
