The PLEN Science and Health Policy seminar not only broadened my knowledge about the confluence of public health and policy, but also exposed me to incredible women, who had taken unconventional career paths to arrive at the amazing place they are in now. Their passion for their work and their desire to make a positive impact on the world was contagious. I came out of PLEN with a newfound confidence in myself, and the comfort of the knowledge that it is okay to embrace the less traveled path in order to achieve your goals.

"What do I do after graduation?" has been the scariest question for me until I attended PLEN's Science and Health Policy seminar. Not only I learned about new career opportunities for women scientists, I gained a set of tools that will guide me toward a successful career, such as following your passion, networking, and salary negotiation. From the valuable experiences of inspiring panelists, I learned that there are rarely straight path to a successful career, but there are no dead ends either; there are always opportunities if you open yourself up to them. I am more confident about my future and to this, I owe Wilson College for making this experience happened. It is worth every penny of it!

My experience at PLEN was great! It was very informative and interactive. I was overwhelmed to see successful women who were interested in the similar fields that I am interested in. We got the opportunity to meet congress women at Capitol Hill, women professionals at The Eisenhower Tower near White House and the National Institute of Science (NIH). Listening to their stories and experiences have encouraged me to work harder and made me realize that there is never a straight way to your goal. You can start off with one major but yet end up with something completely different and you would still be happy and that it is ok not to know all the answers right now.
This seminar has helped me network and connect with students, professors as well as other professionals. I am still in contact with some of them. PLEN is definitely a great opportunity for Wilson Students. I am glad I participated!

Key limes are the pink flamingos of Florida food, and they are a celebrated part of local color. Key West, Florida, is famous for its fabulous key lime pie, one of America's best-loved regional dishes. Every restaurant in the Florida Keys, and especially in the city of Key West, serves this wonderful pie. There seems to be a key lime pie for every palate, with numerous versions made throughout the region. This pie is considered the official pie of the Florida Keys.
Aficionados of key lime pies argue endlessly about the proper way to make one. Graham-cracker or pastry crust? Meringue on top or whipped cream, or neither? Cooked or uncooked filling? The one thing that they do agrees on is that under no circumstances should you ever add green food coloring. The filling of authentic key lime pie is a light yellow.As to who made the first key lime pie, no one really knows for sure as it has never been documented. The most likely story is that William Curry (1821-1896), a ship salvager and Florida's first self-made millionaire (commonly referred to as rich Bill), had a cook that was simply know as Aunt Sally. It was Aunt Sally who created the pie in the late 1800s. Some historians think that Aunt Sally didn't create the Key Lime Pie, but probably perfected a delicacy that was the creation of area fishermen. William Curry built a lavish mansion for his family in 1855 that still is being used today as the Curry Mansion Inn.
It was not until the 1930s that the first recipes were...

Anne Hathaway's Hand Painted Valentino Gown Sketch!
We've seen the gown, now here's the sketch! Anne Hathaway's wedding gown was much anticipated and totally one-of-a-kind. Because Valentino is such an Anne fan, he came out of retirement for this one. The designer envisioned the gown specifically for Anne and it was made in Rome where the Valentino team hand painted the train and embellished it with embroidered satin flowers according to People.com.
We love her whimsical tulle gown for it's romance and feminine off-the-shoulder neckline. She really did look like royalty at her sunset ceremony!
While not everyone has been as accepting of the headpiece, the 1920s-inspired veil was so much embellished that the actress decided to skip the jewelry. She concluded none needed, and I think we would have to agree.
Some of our favorite gowns from this past season incorporated lots of color. From colorful sashes to ombre effects, color has been ruling the runways. What do you think of the gowns below? Would you wear a colored dress, or even a hint of color in your wedding dress? Tweet me @heatherhallm if you wore a colored gown!

Epic Hurricane Surf
September: As one of our New Jersey correspondents Jon Coen once said: "You can tell how good a hurricane season is by the amount of frothing e-mails/ voicemails/ texts you receive regarding it." If that's the barometer, from Gustav to Kyle and everything in between, 2008 was officially a banger. A week in the fall didn't go by without messages boasting all-time career sessions and blown out spaghetti arms. One friend from Florida sounded blissfully confused when he said he'd "surfed like every day for a month straight." Of course, like any group of jaded surf editors, we were slightly skeptical of the claims. That is, until we saw the pictures. JPEG's of reeling empty lineups and locals crammed into perfect, almond-shaped barrels buffeted our inboxes.

Champ Sighting | Lake Champlain's Mysterious Photo
- Login to add to Favorites
- 0 Comments
Sandra ("Sandi") Mansi lives in Bristol, Vermont, up a long drive away from the two-lane road, past mounds of timber waiting for her husband's chainsaw and splitter. Lake Champlain lies some 20 miles west, but she rarely goes to the lake anymore–cataracts have stolen her pleasure of sitting by the water and looking out. "I just don't get around like I used to," she says. She's 67 now, her voice cheerful, tobacco-husky, easy to laughter. Her sister lives down the road, her daughter and grandchildren even closer. She grew up nearby, and after living in Connecticut and New Hampshire, she's been home for 11 years now and is here, she says, to stay. She spends her time "puttering" and painting folk-art scenes on wooden boxes made by her husband, Richard Racine.
"I never picked up a paintbrush until I was 60," she says proudly. "It's my time. It's my turn. I brought up my family. I helped bring up grandchildren." From time to time she visits local schools to show a photograph and talk about "Champ," the legendary creature that has riled the imaginations of Vermonters for centuries. The photo she shows is the one she took of a dark, leathery-looking something that rose out of the water about 150 feet from where she was sitting on the shore of Lake Champlain.
"The kids always ask was I scared, if I think it's a dinosaur," Mansi says. She doesn't really know what she saw; she has never claimed to be an authority. But this much is certain: All serious discussion of whether something unexplainable lives in the depths of this deep, cold, 120-mile-long lake starts with the single image Sandi Mansi captured in the early afternoon of July 5, 1977.
Her Kodak Instamatic photo was scrutinized by scientists using technology that would detect whether the image had been doctored. It hadn't been. "[She] could no more construct a hoax than put a satellite in orbit," Mansi's lawyer told a reporter. Even the staunchest doubters of the existence of a 15- to 30-foot prehistoric-looking creature living in Lake Champlain can't claim that Sandi Mansi didn't see whatever it was that showed up in her lens. ("Don't call it 'monster,' she says. "I hate the word 'monster.'") Discover magazine called her photo the "Rosetta Stone of Champology."
I went to see her last summer, on the last day of July. I wasn't there to prove or disprove anything. The people who over the years say they've seen an enormous, dark, humped, serpentine creature number roughly 300; among them are dozens of locals who have spent their lives fishing the lake and who tell skeptics they know what sturgeons, otters, swimming deer, and driftwood look like. In 2003 a scientific expedition detected echolocation in Lake Champlain; the only aquatic animals we know of that make those sounds are dolphins, porpoises, and whales. "What we can say for sure," noted researcher Elizabeth von Muggenthaler, "is that there's a creature in the lake that produces biosonar. We have no idea what it is." However, the research done by a team of Middlebury College geologists made an argument that what people observe may be the result of a huge standing wave beneath the surface, called a seiche, which may propel long sunken trees twisting to the surface, startling onlookers. But I wasn't here now for any of that debate. I wanted to know what had happened to Sandi Mansi.
She sat in her pretty yard, bordered by blueberry bushes and apple trees; she relaxed with a can of Pepsi by her side, a story on her lips. Her hair is the color of straw, and behind her glasses her gaze is clear and direct–as is her story. She tells it without drama, pausing only to answer questions. "You know," she says, "nobody has ever asked me how what I saw changed me. Nobody."
On that summer day in 1977, she was showing Anthony Mansi, her then-fiancé and coworker at General Dynamics in Groton, Connecticut, her Vermont roots. Her two children from a previous marriage were with them.
"We [started off] on St. Albans Bay with my children, Heidi and Larry [ages 11 and 12], and we were just exploring," she explains. "We meandered [north], and then the kids started fighting over who was breathing whose air. We were on a dirt road, and we pulled over and walked across a field and down an embankment. It was around noon.
"The kids took their shoes off [and waded in]. We were sitting there by the water. And Anthony decided to get the camera. So he went back to the car. And I was sitting down the embankment. I was looking out at the lake. And I could see a turbulence, like how a school of fish look.

The equipment we have in this room:
- Sony PS3 slim 250 GB - although with a 750 GB hard drive & the latest firmware
- A Samsung 46" TV - A 630 (if I recall correctly)
- Onkyo HT R380 receiver (5 speakers, multiple HDMI ports)
- AT&T U-verse -- another HDMI connected to the back of the TV [it isn't on when watching movies]
- Nintendo Wii connected to the TV by RCA cables (like it could any other way )
Simplified Setup:
PS3 -> Onkyo Receiver -> Samsung TV --- All connected to one another by HDMI cables.
- We literally just finished watching Men In Black 3 on the PS3 and it did blackout several times. A few days ago we watched it on a Samsung Blu-ray player (don't know the model #) - but it doesn't wifi built in - and it didn't happen once.When watching that it was also connected by HDMI to the receiver, I do not know if it has the latest Samsung firmware.
- If possible could I get a clear answer of why HDMI cables do this. Would (all?) digital cables (display port, and cables to come) would do this? When I eventually get a new computer with a HDMI port (either motherboard or GPU) would I get the same thing if I connected the system to a new monitor - with support for HDMI/display port?
- The PS3 does blackout even on the XMB screen, or playing music.
- Some days it won't black out ever on the XMB/playing music
- Never happens when playing games.

I was recently given a 2000 Cal Spa Jacuzzi (not sure of a specific model)by a friend (it worked fine last time he turned it off). It has a panel on top that says GE electric, and the board says Balboa Instruments 2100 wiring system. There was a rat that got under it and chewed two or three of the small wires, which I have fixed. I filled the tub, the jets work, the blower works (on the option button), and the lights work fine. There is a little green light on the panel for suction safety mode which light up. But when I hit heat it starts at 100 and goes up to 104, blinks several times then goes back to 62 and blinks EC. Anyone have any idea what this could be? (The heat light indicator on the top panel is not lighting up either). Any help would be appreciated.

Does the heat light ever come on? If not, then your problem is going to be on your control side. Either thermostat, pressure switch, temp sensor, etc. From your description it sounds like you might have a high limit issue. If the spa is heating from 100 to 104 and then cutting off sometime after that, you might have a bad high limit sensor. In case you didn't know, the high limit is a safety switch designed to kill power to the heater when it gets too hot. Usually around 110 degrees.
Another possibility is the blinking EC. Newer spas have what's called "economy mode". This means that the tub will only heat during a preprogrammed filtering cycle. If this is the case, just put the tub in "standard" mode and you should be fine.

Did you find any further information out on this unit? My mother has a Jacuzzi and is experiencing this same issue. Is it possible it is a voltage problem?

EC is economy mode as stated above. You can turn it on or off on the panel by pressing a specific sequence. If you need to know how I can see on mine but can't remember off hand. And the Temp display shows current water temp until a temp + or - is pressed then it shows the thermostat temp for a few seconds and goes back. So it sounds like the panel is working correct. You just have a heater issue. Could be as simple as a fuse or relay. Just thought I would give some input since I have a 2000 Calspa also.

When we've seen some Vette Rods before, we've described them as a "C4 hiding inside a C2," for their later-generation (or later) Corvette powertrain and chassis hidden underneath an earlier-generation Vette body. This car does it the same way, but differently. The body is a reproduction '63 split window coupe, while the frame, powertrain, chassis, and interior are original '96 items. Confused? No need to be once you hear A-1 Fiberglass' Dan Gernstein. "I've always liked the '63," he says from his Omaha, Nebraska, shop. "We decided that we'd build our own 'tools' and see what we came up with, and that's what it ended up to be," he says of the silver split-window that you see here.
A-1 is already in the fiberglass-body business, whose products include repro '58-'62 C1 bodies for Macon, Illinois' Street Rods Only. Thanks to some dedicated in-house work, A-1 came up with the tooling to reproduce the classic split-window Sting Ray coupe body. "I've got a couple of really talented guys that work for me, Gary Berthelsen and Jim Hatch," says Dan. "They did a bunch of research on which newer Corvette would fit under a '63 body, and the '92-'96 was the closest measurement to it. That's what we ended up using-we bought a '96 that had about 70,000 miles on it. We took the body off, and we started from there." Dan adds, "It turned out to be a really neat project, and they did a heck of a job on it. They're car guys stuck in a fiberglass shop. We do a lot of different high-tech projects, but for them to do this project, they really got into it." If you think they tore up a perfectly good '96 Corvette in the process, guess again. "It was hit in the front right corner," says Dan. "The frame horn was bent a little bit, the hood was broken, and the right rear quarter was broken." He adds, however, that the car was in great mechanical condition.
Speaking of great mechanical condition, if you can't find your copy of Mike Antonick's Corvette Black Book, let us fill you in on some of the mechanical goodies that the '96 Corvette has that many of its predecessor C4 variants don't have. That starts with the 300-horsepower LT1 version of the venerable Chevy small-block V8, standard on all automatic-equipped '96 Vettes (including the donor car that A-1 used). Add to that options like the available RPO Z51 Performance Handling package, and you're talking "Factory Vette Rod" with or without the RPO Z15 Collector's Edition or Z16 Grand Sport option packages.
Adding the genuine C4 to the repro C2 body started with subtraction. "We unglued the original body and left the box area that the seats and dash are contained in," Dan says. "After we made our body, we made sections that would attach to the original box and to our body, and then we glued the car back together, as it should have been from the factory. So, there are no rivets or screws-it's a bonded car." Plus, Dan adds that A-1 took about a year to design, engineer, and develop their split-window body, so when they put this one on, a top-quality fiberglass creation was created. Dan also says there were some other aspects of the C4-to-C2 conversion that went extremely well. "We didn't cut one wire on this car," he says. "The only thing we did was change the ends, to plug them back into the taillights. Matter of fact, we didn't even drain the refrigerant out of the air-conditioning system."
Inside the wheelwells, Dan went with something that looks like Chevrolet Styling (back in the day) or GM Design (nowadays) could have come up with. "I wanted to have the 'fin'-style, knock-off wheel look," he says. "We found a company out in California, EVOD Industries. They cut the wheels for us, and we put 19s on the front and 20s on the back." Another component that came from the 21st Century customizers' kit: The paint that went on this retro split window. "It's an '08 Chrysler color (Bright Silver Metallic) that they painted their Chargers and 300s with," says Dan. "Walker Street Rods out of Macon, Illinois, painted the car for us."

SD rep calls MMA child porn of sports, plans ban, hearing Monday - Mixed Martial Arts News
A proposal to regulate fighting sports in South Dakota has a key hearing Monday as opponents prepare to try to derail the most controversial part of the plan.
Sen. Mark Johnston, R-Sioux Falls, and others support creating a South Dakota Athletic Commission that would regulate sports such as boxing, kick-boxing and mixed martial arts. South Dakota has no such commission, meaning those events either avoid the state or happen without oversight.
The result, Johnston argues, is people getting hurt or even killed fighting in unsanctioned bouts. The athletic commission created in Senate Bill 84 would be able to create rules.
But Gov. Dennis Daugaard and others say the athletic commission would legitimize these violent sports and lead to more, not fewer, people getting hurt.
Im offended that the state would legitimize cage-fighting and the bloody violence that those kinds of spectacles create, Daugaard said in January. I think its interesting that we declare that it is a crime for one human being to strike another, and yet the state now proceeds to legitimize, and label a sport, cage-fighting.
Rep. Steve Hickey, R-Sioux Falls, feels the same way. When SB84 comes up for a hearing at 10 a.m. Monday, he plans to offer an amendment he sees as a compromise creating the athletic commission, but limiting it to sports such as boxing and traditional martial arts such as karate and judo. Mixed martial arts would be banned.
The conversation on violence in society needs to start somewhere why not with our most violent entertainment, and thats mixed martial arts, Hickey said. Theres a reason two governors have been reticent to appoint a commission: Its because they agree with me that elbowing a guy in the head, kneeing him in the face, is beyond where we need to go.In his personal blog, Hickey explicitly describes MMA as the child porn of sports, and links it to meth, sexual slavery, and a host of other evils.
I decided to pick a fight. Please read on because I need your help immediately.
The conversation on violence in society has to start somewhere so why not with our most violent sport or form of entertainment? Decent and civil societies have to draw the line somewhere; with smoking we draw the line after tobacco and before pot; with adult entertainment we draw the line at child porn. With violent combative sports I suggest we draw the line at cage fighting. The line should be drawn after boxing, wresting and legitimate martial arts. They are violent too but the line needs to be drawn somewhere. Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) or cage fighting is over that line in fact, even the martial arts people I talk to tell me they hate cage fighting because it is a smear on legitimate martial arts.
MMA Cage Fighting is the child porn of sports. The psychological community will tell you that desensitization to violence works exactly like desensitization to porn. You know how porn progresses a peek at topless isnt enough, it all has to come off, then a pic is not enough it goes to video then to virtual and then to the devaluation and mistreatment of women, human trafficking and sex crimes against women. Violence works the same way. Boxing wasnt enough so they took the gloves off, then they allowed kicking, kneeing people in the head, then elbows to the face, then they put a cage around it. The point is to knock the other guy unconscious while pay per view crowds cheer it on. Why not nunchucks? In Rome theyd gather in colosseums and bring out prisoners and entertain themselves by making them fight to the death. That wasnt enough so they brought out the helpless and the hated and brought in the hungry lions. Crowds cheered.
In South Dakota this week there is a bill, Senate Bill 84, which is an attempt to legitimize cage fighting in South Dakota. Its billed as economic development. If thats all we can come up with for economic development we are in trouble. And our decisions on our tolerance for things violent shouldnt be about money. If we want to attract dirty and bloody money why not legalize prostitution or bring back the gladiators? We need to stop and think about why two governors in our state have been reticent to appoint people to a boxing/MMA commission.
Proponents say its going on here already so we need to regulate it to make it safe. Meth use is going on here too, should we regulate Meth labs? South Dakota has no business spending any time or money legitimizing cage fighting. I dont care that other states are doing it. Id like to think we are better. Other states run billion dollar deficits and we balance our budget. Maybe with our fiscal sense, we could also be known for our common sense and decency.
Youll hear fans of cage fighting say that more have died in cheerleading accidents. The point of cheerleading isnt to knock unconscious the other cheerleaders. And there are growing numbers of MMA deaths in sanctioned and unsanctioned fights. Furthermore, the sport is too new to tell us the long term effects of this sport on the fighters. The NFL is paying dearly now for their concussion issues. MMA is far worse. We had an MMA fighter in Rapid City die recently and that is in part what is driving the move now to regulate it so its safe. Proponents say these blood-soaked slugfests only look dangerous. Im not stupid and neither are you and this isnt a show like professional wrestling. It is violent and it isnt a sign of a healthy society that crowds gather to watch it. This is more than consensual assault and battery as the effects of violence desensitization impact the rest of society.
Heres how you can help. The bill is scheduled for a hearing on Monday at 10AM in our Commerce and Energy Committee (it may get moved to Wednesday at 10am stay tuned). I plan to introduce a hoghouse amendment (84rc MMA ban amendment) that will establish the South Dakota Athletic Commission to regulate boxing, wresting and martial arts but Ive written the amendment to expressly exclude mixed martial arts. Its basically a ban on cage fighting in South Dakota. Expect hysterics from the sport enthusiasts one local sportscaster already has dubbed me an ignorant idiot.
The committee members need to hear from people like you. Please email them asap and ask them to have the courage and common sense to draw the line a cage fighting and to support Rep. Steve Hickeys hoghouse amendment on SB84 to ban it in South Dakota. Here is the quickest way to email them all House Commerce and Energy Committee.
When people get hurt and die in extreme sports Ill confess I sometimes have trouble mustering up sympathy and compassion (even as we should comfort their families and guys like me officiate these funerals). At some point we cant call these things accidents as they are more the product of our carefully thought out decisions. I have to bite my tongue because instead of the passages that comfort the grieving I feel like quoting the great philosopher Forrest Gump: Stupid is as stupid does.
South Dakota is smarter than this and so, lets ban MMA.

Jennifer Beidel Horton originally began her college career as an elementary education major, but soon realized her true calling in her sophomore year.
After helping out with the cleanup of Hurricane Katrina over Alternative Spring Break, she not only wanted to learn about the effects catastrophe can have on people, but she also wanted to learn how to help them.
"It changed my entire outlook on my career path," Jennifer said. "I switched to sociology the following semester."
After graduating from Wilson in 2008, Jennifer went on to receive a master's degree in psychology, with a specialization in social psychology, from Walden University in 2010.
Jennifer currently works as a counselor at Abraxas Youth and Family Services in South Mountain, Pa. Abraxas provides treatment along with educational and transitional programs for youth, adults and their families. Jennifer said that most clients at Abraxas have committed crimes or have had major behavioral problems, making it no longer appropriate for them to live at home. Abraxas also treats clients who have histories with drugs and alcohol.
Jennifer has worked at Abraxas for a year and a half and is considered a senior counselor. She says there is a relatively high turnover rate in the field, which she correlates to the intensity and stress that is associated with working with troubled young people. "I feel that I have lasted as long as I have due to the experiences and education I received at Wilson," she said. "My time there really helped prepare me for the work that I was entering into."
During her time at Wilson, Jennifer interned at a psychiatric center for children and adolescents, and received a lot of experience leading group sessions. She says the internship prepared her for her current job and it's helped her make some great connections in her field.
Jennifer is originally from Chambersburg, Pa. and had the experience of growing up around the Wilson campus. When it came to continuing her education after high school, she saw Wilson as the natural choice. Her mother, Patty Beidel, also graduated from Wilson and now works as the associate director of admissions.
At Wilson, Jennifer was chief justice for the Wilson College Government Association (WCGA), editor of the yearbook for three years and a campus tour guide. She was also a member of the choir, Campus Activities Board and Candle Club. Jennifer received the Alumnae Legacy Award for her leadership and accomplishments at Wilson.

Washington, District of Columbia
Washington, D.C. formally the District of Columbia and commonly referred to as Washington, the District, or simply D.C., is the capital of the United States, founded on July 16, 1790. The City of Washington was originally a separate municipality within the Territory of Columbia until an act of Congress in 1871 effectively merged the City and the Territory into a single entity called the District of Columbia. It is for this reason that the city, while legally named the District of Columbia, is known as Washington, D.C.

Florida Panthers (3-10-4) at New York Rangers (8-8-0), 7 p.m.
(SportsNetwork.com) - The surging New York Rangers take aim at a sixth win in seven games when they host the ice-cold Florida Panthers in Sunday's matchup at Madison Square Garden.
The Rangers started this season slowly, going 3-7-0 out of the gate before getting to .500 by winning five of their last six games.
New York will try for a third consecutive victory on Sunday after posting an impressive 5-1 home win against Pittsburgh on Wednesday and following it up with a 4-2 victory the next night in Columbus.
Carl Hagelin scored a pair of goals to back a 32-save effort from Cam Talbot in the road victory over the Blue Jackets. Ryan Callahan and Ryan McDonagh each contributed a goal and assist to help the Rangers get to 8-8-0 on the season.
The rookie Talbot has done an excellent job of spelling No. 1 goaltender Henrik Lundqvist this season, going 3-1-0 with a 1.97 goals against average in four outings.
"He played great again," Rangers defenseman Marc Staal said of Talbot. "He had timely saves when we needed them and he's been rock-solid since his first start."
Lundqvist, however, expects to get the start on Sunday. He is 15-9-1 with a 1.73 GAA in 25 career games against the Panthers.
Beginning with Sunday's test, the Rangers are playing two straight and four of their next five on home ice. New York is 3-2-0 at MSG this season.
Florida, meanwhile, is in the middle of an epic slide, having lost eight straight while posting an 0-4-4 record. The team fired head coach Kevin Dineen and his staff after the seventh consecutive defeat, but interim coach Peter Horachek couldn't stop the bleeding on Saturday, as the Panthers dropped a 3-2 regulation decision in Ottawa.
Clarke MacArthur's second-period power-play goal was the difference, and Robin Lehner stopped 26 shots as Ottawa clipped the Panthers. Nick Bjugstad and Marcel Goc supplied offense for the Panthers, while Tim Thomas ended up with 29 saves in the loss.
Florida fell behind 2-0 just 2:04 into the opening period, as Kyle Turris and Mika Zibanejad scored just 19 seconds apart for the Sens. The Panthers played better the rest of the way, but never were able to catch Ottawa after the early onslaught.
"At this level, when you put yourself behind the eight-ball that early in the game, especially on unforced errors, the results won't be good," Horachek noted.
This is the longest losing streak for the Panthers since a 10-game skid (0-7-3) from March 19-April 8, 2011.
Florida has taken two of the past three meetings with the Rangers, but New York has claimed four of six and nine of the last 14 encounters in this series. The Blueshirts also have four wins in the last five meetings at MSG.

text: TNA Impact had a pretty good week. In my opinion, Austin Aries was pretty obvious after he said "I have beaten you once." An Aries and Bully Ray match would be could, but I wonder what could of been if Chris Sabin actually hung on too the belt long enough to vs Bully Ray.

My heat works great, but my AC is nonexistent. Just blows out normal air, which in this weather is quite hot and unpleasant.
I had the freon refilled two years ago, but I haven't used the car in over a year so I don't know when the AC stopped working. It was working up until the last time I used it, anyway.
I was told it would be about $85 to refill the freon, but that it wouldn't do me much good if I had a leak.
How long should a freon refill last, and how do I know if I have a leak, and if I do, what must be done to repair it?

Berry Delicious Summer Pudding
Summer is here and I always find myself indulging in yummy seasonal fruits around this time of year – they're just too good to resist. It seems that every time I go to the market, I make the mistake of overbuying fruit and forgetting to remind my family to eat it. I hate letting the fruit go to waste and recently came across a brilliant recipe on food52.com for Berry Summer Pudding. There are only a few easy ingredients and you can change up the fruit combination if you want (this recipe calls for blueberries, raspberries, and blackberries). It's perfect to top off a summer cookout if you have a surplus of uneaten fruit and white bread hanging around ( and even stale bread is ok for this). So celebrate, have some friends over and enjoy the sweetness of summer and this delicious recipe!

The University provides important information on understanding, using, and storing private data. Here are some important links all GPS Alliance staff should be aware of, as we are all governed by these policies:
Laptop Users -
Encryption of your laptop is very important. This is something the GPS Alliance IT Support Services staff handles in the configuration of your laptop. However, there have been reports of confiscated laptops upon entering some countries due to encryption. This makes the situation more complex.
The following are requirements for GPS Alliance which apply to use of your work-assigned laptop or laptop that you use to complete any work activities domestically:
- Hard Drive Encryption should be applied as you travel between work and home and as you travel domestically.
- Your communications should be encrypted: this happens automatically when using 1) UofM Secure wireless (when on or near a UofM Campus) and 2) the UMN VPN software every time you connect wirelessly from a location other than one where you can access "UofM Secure". This includes your home wireless network provider, if you have one. (This also applies to desktop workstations, servers, etc. if using wireless to connect to the internet for work-related activities).
- For international travel: whenever possible, reserve a GPS Alliance laptop or iPad and place on them needed presentations or documents that do not contain private data.
- ***If it is required for you to travel with private data, please contact Christopher Stordalen to discuss solutions
Best Practice:
Don't store any private data on your local drive. Utilize the GPS Alliance Server, Google Apps, or NetFiles as needed and as appropriate for that storage.

Sony VAIO VPC-SA28GW/T
SpecificationsNotebook: Sony VAIO VPC-SA28GW/T (Vaio VPC-SA Series)
Processor: Intel Core i7 2620M
Graphics Adapter: AMD Radeon HD 6630M
Display: 13.3 inch, 16:9, 1600x900 pixels, glossy: yes
Weight: 1.7kg
Price: euro
Reviews for the Sony VAIO VPC-SA28GW/T
Source: enet.com.cn zh-CN→EN
Single Review, online available, Long, Date: 07/07/2011
Sony Vaio's VPC-SA series, which was introduced in Q2 2011, is the second addition to Sony's S range thin-and-light notebook and the brother to the more popular business all-rounders SB series. The SA series was positioned at the middle-high price sector, between the high end Z series and the more affordable SB series. The SA series' built quality and spec is at a higher level than the SB Series, which justifies its price, even though looks, form factor and weight are almost the same. The SA series comes with two choices of color: black and silver, though so many SA laptops on display come with black that some people didn't even know there's also a silver version.
At the time of its introduction, it's one of the best subnotebooks on the market, beaten only by Sony's high end Z Series with its thin and light size, powerful Sandy Bridge i5 or i7 CPU and dedicate middle class ATI 6630M graphic card, 1600x900 screen as well as optional blu-ray optical disk and a battery life of up to 14 hours. Other strength of the SA series includes fast SSD, matte display, docking port, TPM chips. Touch typist and office users would also love this laptop for the full size back-lit keyboard with good typing feedback. Its weaknesses include iits high noise and heat during load due to smaller case, somewhat short battery life without the $150 optional battery-slice compare to newer Ultrabook and most important of all, a narrow color spectrum, contrasts and weak viewing angles separate the SA series from premium-class notebook such as the Z series.
Even though Intel introduced many Ultrabook in 2012 as a direct competitor to Macbook Air series with focus on weight and battery life, not many of them can beat the SA series in their own game.
AMD Radeon HD 6630M: Successor of the slow clocked (low power) versions of the Mobility Radeon HD 5650 with more cores, UVD3 processor and Eyefinity+.
Modern games should be playable with these graphics cards at low settings and resolutions. Casual gamers may be happy with these cards.
» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Graphics Cards and the corresponding Benchmark List.
Intel Core i7: The Intel Core i7 for laptops is based on the LG1156 Core i5/i7 CPU for desktops. The base clock speed of the CPUs is relatively low, but because of a huge Turbo mode, the cores can dynamically overclock to up to 3.2 GHz (920XM). Therefore, the CPU can be as fast as high clocked dual-core CPUs (using single threaded applications) but still offer the advantage of 4 cores. Because of the large TDP of 45 W / 55 W, the CPU is only intended for large laptops.
2620M: Very fast Dual-core processor based on the Sandy Bridge architecture with an integrated graphics card and dual-channel DDR3 memory controller. » Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Processsors.
13.3": This is a common display format for subnotebooks. Netbooks, UMPC and some subnotebooks have tinier displays. Nevertheless, the majority of standard laptops has a higher format. The advantage of a small display is, that the subnotebook can be small dimensioned and can be carried easily. Further the small display needs few energy, which improves the battery runtime and in consequence the mobility. The disadvantage is that the reading of texts is a bit exhausting for the eyes, especially with high resolutions.» To find out how fine a display is, see our DPI List.
1.7 kg: This sub-notebook weighs less than the average of all notebooks and represents a medium class of weight among the sub-notebooks. 11 inch displays are normal for this class of weight.
Sony: Sony Corporation is a multinational conglomerate corporation headquartered in Japan. Sony is one of the leading manufacturers of electronics, video, communications, video game consoles, and information technology products for the consumer and professional markets. Its name is derived from sonus, the Latin word for sound. The company was founded 1946 with another name and renamed in 1958. Sony Corporation is the electronics business unit and the parent company of the Sony Group, which is engaged in business through its five operating segments—electronics, games, entertainment (motion pictures and music), financial services and other. Sony is a notebook manufacturer of medium size according international market shares.

C Biogon T* 4,5/21 ZM
Take this compact, super wide-angle lens with you everywhere you go and you will be rewarded with spectacular, distortion-free images.
Take this compact, super wide-angle lens with you everywhere you go and you will be rewarded with spectacular, distortion-free images.
The C in the C Biogon T* 4,5/21 ZM name stands for both 'compact' and 'classic', the latter referring to a legendary Zeiss design from 1952. Smaller and lighter than the Biogon T* 2,8/21 ZM, it is ideal for traveling and for photographing unobtrusively in public places. The lens is rangefinder-coupled for easy focusing and the optional 21 mm viewfinder is available for accurate image composition. The C Biogon T* 4,5/21 ZM is an ideal lens for many different wide-angle applications including travel, architecture, landscape and interior photography.
Please note: The production of this lens has been discontinued.
Technical specifications:
|Focal length
|21 mm
|Aperture range
|f/4.5 – f/22
|Focusing range
|0.5 m – ∞
|Number of elements/groups
|8 / 6
|Image ratio at close range
|1 : 20
|Coverage at close range
|48 x 72 cm
|Angular field, diag./horiz./vert.
|M 46 x 0.75
|Dimensions (with caps)
|ø 53 mm, length 56 mm
|210 g
Dramatic perspectives and a view from extraordinary image angles – ZEISS lenses open up new composition possibilities. Distortion would disrupt the composition because straight lines, whose image does not go through the image center, would be reproduced with a curved shape. This annoying effect is accordingly and largely compensated through elaborate optical designs at all focal lengths.
Manually focusing a lens means controlling the image result from your fingertips. A good ergonomic design makes all the difference. The user-friendly focusing ring on ZEISS lenses with an ergonomic finger rest is perfect for fast, precise focusing. Changes are immediately visible in the viewfinder. The high-quality focusing mechanism moves smoothly without play, thus also supporting the intuitive interaction with the focal plane.
The mount and control elements of all ZM lenses are made of metal and are designed for decades of intensive use. The high-quality craftsmanship of the all-metal mounts, the easy-to-grip metal focus and aperture ring and the robust front bayonet and filter threads ensure an amazing photographic experience.
The ZEISS range of T*® lenses offers the highest possible standards in terms of performance, reliability and, of course, image quality. Quite simply, they are superior in every way. You can count on highly advanced flare control for crisp and brilliant images, for example. And virtually zero geometric distortion, ensuring precise accuracy when reproducing shapes – especially useful when photographing products and architecture.
The optical elements of ZEISS lenses feature T*® anti-reflective coating on all surfaces and an optical design that guarantees images of superior brilliance at all times, even in unfavourable lighting conditions. We apply the anti-reflective coating to the lens surfaces by the vapour deposition of extremely thin, transparent layers on the glass. In this process, special substances are vaporized with extremely high energy in a high-vacuum environment and are subsequently deposited on the glass surfaces, one after another, as layers with precisely controlled thicknesses to achieve the desired reduction of reflective properties. The first coating techniques were employed by ZEISS as long ago as in the 1930s.
"The Zeiss ZM 21mm f/4.5 C-Biogon is a relatively inexpensive, but strong performer in my brief field shooting..."

Before age 55, the diastolic blood pressure is a more important predictor of cardiovascular events. After the age of 55, the diastolic blood pressure actually starts to decrease, and the systolic blood pressure best predicts cardiovascular risk.
Blood pressure is tested with an inflatable arm cuff, a sphygmomanometer, and is measured in millimeters of mercury (mmHg) either directly using a stethoscope, or automatically, using an oscillometric device.
According to current adult guidelines published by the American Heart Association, blood pressure is categorized as normal, at 120/80 or less; prehypertensive, a systolic reading of 120 to 139; or hypertensive, a systolic reading of 140 millimeters of mercury or greater.
Risk increases in a continuous manner from a blood pressure of 115/75. The risk doubles with each 20 millimeters increase in the systolic number and each 10 millimeters increase in the diastolic number over these baseline values. If a patient's blood pressure reading is elevated it should be checked again in the next few weeks.
How blood pressure is measured is important. The patient should be seated with both their feet flat on the floor and their back supported. If there is no evidence of end organ damage, such as kidney or cardiac abnormalities, oftentimes, lifestyle changes such as exercise, weight loss, and salt restriction are recommended.
Should this fail, then prescription medication is often necessary. Fortunately, a number of effective medications are now available as generics, since elevated blood pressure usually requires more than one medication for adequate control. This is particularly relevant in patients with diabetes or kidney disease who are treated to achieve a systolic blood pressure goal of less than 130 and a diastolic level of less than 80.Most often, combining medications with a different mechanism of action is most efficacious.
Although several options exist for the initial medication, it is often a less critical decision since several medications are often necessary for adequate control.Angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors or angiotensin receptor blockers are often the initial drug of choice which patients often tolerate well (except for a cough with the use of ACE inhibitors).With the arrival this year of a generic angiotensin receptor blocker, losartan, this will frequently be the drug of choice since it is both effective and has minimal side effects. The initial or second line of therapy is often the addition of a calcium channel blocker such as amlodipine, which is also a generic, or a low dose diuretic, such as hydrochlorothiazide or chlorthalidone.
With more severe hypertension, it is recommended practice to begin two medications at once, often in a pill which combines two of the above medication groups.
Beta blockers, in general, are less effective as hypertensive agents although they are a heterogeneous group.Generic carvedilol and a newer medication nebivolol, or Bystolic®, impart better blood pressure control without the adverse metabolic effects of other beta blockers on cholesterol and glucose control.
Summarizing, with the evolution of our understanding of hypertension and the need to understand the continuum of risk from a baseline blood pressure of 115/75 and the doubling of risk with each increase of 20/10 mmHg systolic and diastolic blood pressure, it is important to consider both lifestyle changes and aggressive medical therapy. This can be done effectively with a number of generic preparations, and it is quite rare that a goal blood pressure cannot be attained.

Government assistance for small business can take many forms, most commonly free or low cost advisory services, information, and guidance.
Assistance is rarely by way of cash grants or loans to enable individuals to start or buy a business, or to help existing businesses overcome a shortage of funds.
Usually this kind of funding has to be obtained from banks and other conventional lending institutions, or through private means or investors. We can help you identify ways to finance your business and to better understand how to present a case for finance. Call 13 12 49 to consult one of our small business advisors.
There is a range of federal, state and local government financial assistance initiatives available for various small business related activities and access is usually subject to meeting specific eligibility criteria.
The Australian Government's Grants and Assistance Finder is a free online tool for locating the grants, assistance and funding programs most relevant to your business. You can search for grants in many categories, which are available from the Australian, state and territory governments and also from some local councils.
Search the Business.gov.au Grants and Assistance Finder
Generally, the organisation providing the assistance calls for expressions of interest through advertising in newspapers, journals or their website. They usually have well defined eligibility criteria and often there is an application form that is available on request. It is often advisable to seek professional help in the preparation of the application, particularly if you have no previous experience in applying for financial assistance.
Your accountant or financial adviser is probably the best person to talk to. Alternatively, you can seek help from us, or your local Small Business Centre (SBC). Even though they may not be the funding agency, the SBDC or your local SBC can help you with enquiries about government assistance.

John Fund has an excellent piece at the Wall Street Journal about what is at stake Wisconsin. Basically, he asks if politics gets to be run by the voters or the unions.
I think that's a valid question. The people of Wisconsin decided last fall how their government should be set up. Like every other state, they're faced with a fiscal crisis. I don't know the ins and outs of their government, but if their problems are anything like my state, California, then the alpha and omega of its budget problems lies in the leviathan-sized parasite that is the public employee unions.
That said, I feel like we are given false choices on this, because I always thought that the government operated on midichlorians. If you're not a complete nerd like me then you should know that's the stuff that powers The Force...the magic stuff that Jedi's are made of.
I've thought this for years because governments negotiated awesome contracts with their employee unions that gave them pay that was has often been better than their private sector counterparts, to make up for the down-side to government work being a complete lack of accountability they also got perks worked in to their contracts that included earlier retirement age, sweet pension deals that include a treaty with hell (sorry libs, heaven isn't a union shop) to continue salary payments after death, and other miscellaneous stuff, like gold plated time cards.
All of this stuff costs money. Where does the money come from? Its a process that magically involves union dues, which came from government employee paychecks, which came from your wallet....aka The Force.
The Force performs mind tricks that prevent people from caring that it causes budget deficits.
When the deficits get too powerful to succumb to mind tricks The Force then gets
activists clones that are manufactured for the sole purpose of "the cause" and don't think beyond the orders they're given (aka stormtroopers) to activate and form protests.
