What is calcium acetate?

Weidman needs to take a page out of Sonnen's play book in that he needs to bring the action to Silva the second the fight starts. Weidman cannot let Anderson feel out his reach and get into his magical groove.
A lot of talk about Weidman's GnP which I agree is a big threat but Weidman also need to remember Anderson is no joke when it comes to BJJ.
And if you want beef, then bring the ruckus
That Youtube video is not him trying and just being unable to grapple. Maybe he's practicing rolling with punches, maybe he's goofing around, who knows? But he's very clearly intentionally leaving his hands away from the action.
Then he has the submission wins over Henderson, Sonnen, and Lutter. Not to mention his ability to frequently neutralize Sonnen on the ground; in contrast to, say, Sonnen's positioning over someone like Mardtquart.
Saying he's a fish out of water on his back makes no sense.
I think the unknown and often overlooked point in fights with Anderson and many other truly awesome strikers is the scramble following a missed takedown.
If Weidman misses on a takedown and gets side-stepped, he's DONE. He has to grab body and leg on every single attempt or there will be dire consequences.
You say shark I say hey man, Jaws was never my scene and I don't like Star Wars
I simply do not see Weidman finishing Anderson next weekend. I would like to think it is going to be a good fight but Weidman has been out of action for quite some time and to be blunt he hasn't beating someone of Andersons level of striking, say a Vitor or even Bisping (no Bisping is not on Anderson's level just saying decent level of striking. He beat Munoz who just has power but very poor technique when it comes to striking and Damien Maia who as we all know has sub par striking so this is why he was able to have his way with those two.
Other than his two most significant wins who could we use a means test for how he deals with good strikers with decent takedown defense? I honestly think Weidman may get hurt here, for that matter I am biased so I hope Anderson mauls him, but we shall see next week.
Those who do not appreciate life, do not deserve life.
I want to throw caution to the wind and go to Vegas for the fight.... I have a feeling there will be a crazy result that I want to witness.

Dispute over power lines clouds bayfront plans
"I don't know where we've done more undergrounding," said Francisco Urtasun, regional vice president of external relations. "We would not even be moving the substation if it weren't for the Chula Vista bayfront plan. We consider ourselves partners with the city in this venture, and we have invested considerable time and expense in it."
Chula Vista Assistant City Manager Gary Halbert said getting the substation moved is the "absolute most important thing to us" and that the city is working with SDG&E to interpret and apply the agreement and the city's Local Coastal Plan to the current project. But he doesn't want to push so hard for undergrounding the lines that the substation doesn't get moved. Urtasun predicted that adding any expense to the project could jeopardize its approval by the utilities commission.
"Ultimately, we're really not at odds with what John is saying, and we do want (everything on the bayfront) undergrounded, but we don't want to lose sight of what's most critical," Halbert said.
But former Mayor Steve Padilla, who helped negotiate the deal in 2004, said the proposal doesn't honor the spirit of the agreement.
"The project in front of the CPUC violates Chula Vista's Local Coastal Plan and the MOU and probably the Coastal Act, and the City of Chula Vista would certainly be willing — in fact, scrambling — to defend those principles if it ended up in the current spot," he said. "If they were smart, they would do so now."
He added that despite the project's failure to honor a long-standing agreement, he is more concerned that this is an issue of social justice.
"If this project was being proposed north of I-8, you bet it would not be being proposed above ground, so why here?" he said. "We would not even be having this conversation if it were in La Jolla."
SDG&E officials said they do not design their projects based on location but have design standards that apply to every project.
Turley said the existing substation has to go somewhere, and Urtasun pointed out that everyone has known for almost a decade where it was going, with many expressing active support for the project. SDG&E Senior Counsel Estela de Llanos said the relocation site is in an industrial area and won't, therefore, affect homeowners. Only Inland Industries and one other property owner have expressed any opposition, she said.
The placement of the lines may be a nonissue, though, because members of the California Public Utilities Commission staff have already written that they feel the substation should stay put.
But city staff said leaving the substation where it is would have a "dramatic negative impact" on the recently adopted Bayfront Master Plan, because employment opportunities and wildlife habitat buffers depend on its relocation.
The commission will not make a decision until the final draft of the Environmental Impact Report is finished sometime this spring or summer.

Midwest Living Review
Celebrating its 25th anniversary in 2011, the Heidelberg Project is the result of one artist's effort to change his community. Tyree Guyton, now an internationally recognized artist because of the project, paints abandoned houses and decorates the street with old shoes, toys and other discarded objects, creating a two-block area full of color, symbolism and intrigue. The unusual display of urban art is in a rundown east side neighborhood along Mt. Elliott Street, off of Gratiot, where Guyton grew up. The mission is simple: Improve the lives of people and neighborhoods through art. It seems to be working, too. An offshoot endeavor, ACE2 (Art, Community and Environmental Education) fills the gap in art education in metro schools, teaching kids the values of environment and community. And the neighborhood draws more than 275,000 visitors each year.

Jazz Tech: Tune In, Turn On
July 15, 2008. Posted by David Tallacksen.Add new comment | Filed under: Jazz Tech
Radio is a finnicky thing - while it may seem simple (turn it on and it just works!), radio waves are subject to many complex rules of physics. Any of you that may be trying to pick up WBGO in the basement of a steel or concrete building, or in the shadow of a tall building or in the valley of large hill, likely already know this. While we don't ask or expect that you go and build (as pictured above) a wire-mesh backet antenna, there are a couple things you can do to increase your chances of getting a great sounding signal through your radio.
To that effect, we're starting a series called Jazz Tech. We'll explore all things tech and how it can enrich your jazz-listening life. The first thing we'll cover is antennas - a relatively easy and inexpensive way to upgrade your radio. All the nitty-gritty details after the jump.
The Definitive Miles Davis - Ovation TV Premiere
July 14, 2008. Posted by Angelika Beener.Add new comment | Filed under: Jazz Alive
The other night I was flipping throught the digital TV guide, and I ran across the Ovation channel. They were premiering a 3-hour Miles Davis documentary. Needless to say, I was psyched. I mean, I love watching all of the older documentaries, but to see something brand new about jazz, Miles, or whatever really got me excited. I realized that I did not have Ovation (though I have enjoyed their programming on many other people's televisions, lol). But when I saw the rest of the line up for the night, I was moved to pick up my phone, call my cable provider and order the channel finally. I mean they were showing a John Coltrane profile, followed by a Monk profile, and at 1AM they were going to show Straight No Chaser. I mean, c'mon!
Anyway, the documentary was very cool. I mean, I will say that for 3 hours, they didn't really master the transitions of Miles' musical career that well, but there was some cool footage, especially of later years. It also delved quite a bit into his work as a visual artist. I was happy about that, because that's an era of Miles' life I was not as well-versed on.
It re-aired on Saturday, and I have a feeling they are going to be airing it quite a lot this month. Along with all of the other great jazz and non-jazz musical programming they are doing, I highly recommend giving this channel a once-over. You're definitely going to find something you like.

Excuse me, but I am about to step up on my soapbox.
I was at a dinner party the other night, and I said that I don't really get out much, My days are long between WBGO and my kids. But then someone at the table mentioned a performer who I had just seen, and then another one and yet another one. . . OK, maybe I get out more than I realized. How lucky am I to live in NY. I just pulled out a list of the events that our marketing crew will be attending this summer- I started to hyperventilate looking over the schedule. Add that to all of the ones that we had to pass on because we simply didn't have enough staff, it is mindboggling. So many great artists- and so much of it is FREE. Simone and Regina Carter FREE thanks to Lincoln Center Out of Doors, James Moody, Cyrus Chestnut, TS Monk FREE at Lincoln Park, Felix Hernandez and Rhythm Revue FREE in Prospect Park as part of a partnership with the Park, Heart of Brooklyn and us here at WBGO on September 27th. The list goes on. Do I take it for granted?
Sound of me climbing onto my soapbox- I write this from a weekend away in another time zone where people whiz by in cars and I seem to go to the movies everytime I visit because that is what art is. That's not a dig to my movie loving/making friends, its just a statement about the lack of choices available here. We metro area NY/NJers sometimes forget just how arts rich are lives are. Even though I work in the arts, I forget too.This is my thank you to all of us who make it our business to insure that the arts are supported. The corporations who despite stock prices tumbling still find room in the budget to underwrite a concert that they know will introduce kids to great music. And that's where WBGO fits into the picture- we make as much of this accessible to those outside of the area with the live broadcasts and interviews that we do, and the blogging too.
So one big group hug- to all who produce, present, and support this great art of live performance- and for those of you who can attend, keep doing your part and support these events.And for those of you in Japan, and California, and Montreal and Korea and London and Texas who read this blog and listen to WBGO- keep your radio on and keep supporting the arts.
Thanks for listening.

Andy Warhol: The Last Decade
- Dates: June 18, 2010 through September 12, 2010
- Collections: Contemporary Art
Andy Warhol: The Last Decade
In the vanguard of the Pop art revolution in the early 1960s, Andy Warhol (American, 1928–1987) created images of Marilyn Monroe and Campbell's Soup cans that became icons of celebrity and American consumer culture. Using the visual style and production process he learned while working as a commercial illustrator in New York in the 1950s, Warhol began mechanically transferring images borrowed from popular culture to create vibrant new works that altered the course of American art. Virtually his entire reputation is based on the Pop art he produced from 1962 to 1968, but that work represents only seven of nearly forty years of artistic production.
After an attempt on his life in 1968, Warhol transitioned his studio practice into a portrait and film business. A decade later, he turned fifty and began a critical assessment of his life and career that brought about a radical metamorphosis in his art. Warhol's last decade is, arguably, when the artist was at his most productive. He expanded both his business and his artistic ventures, experiencing an extraordinary period of creativity in television, fashion, and printmaking, and creating a little known body of personal paintings that were rarely exhibited in his lifetime.
Weary of the business of producing portraits on commission, Warhol began to experiment with "newer ideas" about 1978. He introduced abstraction, returned to painting by hand, and engaged in a dialogue between abstract and figurative painting. Over his last decade Warhol explored a dizzying range of new imagery and processes in numerous series such as the Oxidations, Shadows, Rorschachs, Collaborations, Black & White Ads, and finally The Last Supper. This exhibition focuses on the late paintings, which show the complex relationship between the two poles of Warhol's work: his mechanically produced icons of popular culture, and his extraordinary technical facility as a painter and draftsman.
In 1965, at the height of his fame as a Pop artist, Warhol announced that he was retiring from painting to concentrate on making films. Indeed, he began to focus on his filmmaking, but he continued to paint portraits and other series throughout the 1970s. In the summer of 1977, while touring art museums in Paris, he had a revelation and wrote in his diary, "I had energy and wanted to rush home and paint and stop doing society portraits." He began painting abstractions for the first time, in a complete reversal of his Pop art. For Warhol, serious painting now meant abstraction.
Radically departing from his screened popular images and society portraits, he created two series—the Oxidations and the Shadows—in which he developed two novel approaches to abstraction. In these series Warhol aspired to achieve the sheer "physical presence" of color, line, and form that he had noted in 1963: "All painting is fact, and that is enough; the paintings are charged with their very presence. . . . Physical presence."
As Warhol was developing his abstract paintings, a group called the Neo-Expressionists burst onto the New York art scene, emphasizing a return to painting recognizable objects using loose brushwork and bright colors, in reaction to the minimal, conceptual art of the 1970s. In October 1982, the Swiss art dealer Bruno Bischofberger introduced Warhol to one of these young painters, Jean-Michel Basquiat. The two developed a close relationship that lasted nearly three years. They collaborated on paintings in the studio in the afternoon and went clubbing at night.
Recognizing the extraordinary potential of this partnership, Bischofberger commissioned a series of collaborations between Warhol, Basquiat, and the Italian painter Francesco Clemente. When the series was complete, Warhol continued to work with Basquiat. Warhol confessed, "Jean-Michel got me into painting different, so that's a good thing." That "good thing" was to paint by hand with a brush. The Collaborations mark not only Warhol's return to hand-painting but also his renewed interest in figure painting.
Black & White Ads
In this series, Warhol reproduced advertisements that he appropriated from popular and pulp magazines for products such as Campbell's Soup and current fitness fads, as well as those expressing his own political and religious beliefs.
To produce most of these paintings, Warhol returned to one of his Pop art processes: clipping ads from magazines and tabloids, projecting and tracing them onto paper, and then screenprinting the images. In some, such as Campbell's Soup (Tomato), Warhol—spurred by the Collaborations with Basquiat—hand-painted the ads onto paper and then had silkscreens made of the paintings, leaving bristles, brushwork, and paint drips visible in the finished print. Warhol's freehand draftsmanship and fluid brushwork enliven the surface of these works, which are essentially silkscreened reproductions of his original brush drawings. In others, the artist painted directly on the canvas, using a projected image as a guide. Throughout the Black & White Ads, Warhol toys mischievously with the confusion between manual and mechanical processes.
Warhol's Last Paintings
The most prolific period of Warhol's life was from late 1985 until his death in February 1987. The demands of his multitude of painting projects, print series, television productions, and fashion engagements, as well as his active social life, made this period the busiest of his career. The artist's compulsive production culminated in three remarkable series: the so-called fright-wig Self-Portraits, the Camouflage paintings, and The Last Supper. In each, Warhol utilized a different subject and technique, and experimented with the dualities of abstraction and representation, painting and printing, and surface and meaning.
The Last Supper
The Last Supper series was commissioned to inaugurate a new gallery in Milan, Italy, located across the street from the site of the Italian Renaissance artist Leonardo da Vinci's iconic fresco (circa 1495–98) depicting Jesus's last meal with his followers. Warhol worked obsessively for more than a year on this series, producing more than a hundred Last Supper paintings, both silkscreened and hand-painted, that were some of the largest paintings of his career.
Despite his public proclamations to the contrary, Warhol was profoundly moved by the series. Of these works, he remarked, "I painted them all by hand—I myself; so now I've become a Sunday painter. . . . That's why the project took so long. But I worked with a passion." These paintings manifest both his religious beliefs—his practice of Catholicism remained private until it was revealed at his funeral—and an irreverence toward the subject, expressed through ironic commercial logos and transgressive repetitions of Christ's image.
Less than a month following his exhibition of The Last Supper in Milan, Warhol had emergency gallbladder surgery. Several days later, on February 22, 1987, he died.

TALLAHASSEE (AP) — Florida State's Jimbo Fisher was able to breathe a sigh of relief when signing day came to an end on Wednesday.
The Seminoles coach was able to bolster his defense with a dozen commitments, including a highly rated linebacker from Miami and a top cornerback from Tennessee who had once committed to Southern Cal.
Fears that a coaching exodus at Florida State in recent months might damage the school's recruiting efforts appeared to vaporize when the 22-player class was completed.
"We got some big-time commitments at the end," Fisher said. "We hit a little bit of every position."
Jalen Ramsey, who played at Brentwood Academy just south of Nashville, signed his letter of intent to play for Fisher at Florida State. Ramsey, who was ranked as high as the 10th best player nationally by one recruiting service, had verbally committed to USC last summer. A Tennessee state champion in the decathlon and long jump, Ramsey also plans to run track for coach Bob Braman's perennial powerhouse track team.
"I feel like Florida State has everything that I'm looking for," the 6-foot, 189-pound Ramsey said Wednesday. "This is the most comfortable fit for me."
Although Ramsey called Fisher on Monday night to tell him he planned to attend Florida State, the coach didn't breathe easy until shortly before noon when the formal paperwork arrived.
"I sweat them until I get them," Fisher said.
The Seminoles signed 6-3, 205 pound Matthew Thomas from Booker T. Washington High School in Miami, who was regarded as a top 15 prospect nationally and ranked by some as the top linebacker in this year's class of high school players. He was one of five linebackers that signed Wednesday with Florida State.
"He's one of those guys that can change the game," Fisher said. "A tremendous, tremendous football player. And a competitor, he's a winner."
However, moments later after Thomas' announcement, his high school teammate, offensive tackle Denver Kirkland, chose Arkansas over the Seminoles.
Both decisions by the high school teammates were announced on ESPN. Thomas' drew a wild, jubilant cheer in the school's so-called "war room" while a disappointed groan followed Kirkland's decision. Florida State had also hoped to land highly regarded offensive tackle Laremy Tunsil from nearby Lake City, who said he would be heading to Ole Miss.
However, four other offensive line prospects did go with Florida State in a class that also included three defensive ends, three defensive backs and a trio of wide receivers.
Ryan Green from St. Petersburg Catholic was the lone running back signed and John Franklin III from Plantation the lone quarterback.
The Seminoles seemed to fare as well as they could in the wake of a half dozen assistant coaches leaving after the 2012 season.
"I actually think it opened up more doors with guys that we got on the back end," Fisher said. "It may have been a wash. We got in on some key guys that we never had had a chance."
Florida State lost several key players from one of the nation's top defenses last season. Cornerback Xavier Rhodes and defensive end Bjoern Werner both chose to leave school a year early to enter the NFL draft where both are projected as first-round picks. The Seminoles also lost several other starters from their defense along with quarterback EJ Manuel and wide receiver Rodney Smith from an otherwise young offense.
The Seminoles finished the 2012 campaign with a 12-2 record, the Atlantic Coast Conference championship and a BCS bowl victory over Northern Illinois with help from a handful of first-year players from last year's class, primarily cornerback Ronald Darby, defensive end Mario Edwards Jr. and junior college offensive tackle Menelik Watson, who is leaving after one year to enter the NFL draft early along with Rhodes and Werner.
Fisher landed wideout Rashad Greene, running backs Devonta Freeman and James Wilder Jr., tackle Timmy Jernigan, guard Josue Matias, tight end Nick O'Leary and cornerback Nick Waisome in his 2011 class.
Although he was also influential in three Seminole recruiting classes prior to taking over the head coaching responsibilities, Fisher picked up Werner, safety Lamarcus Joyner, linebacker Christian Jones, defensive tackle Anthony McCloud and wide receiver Kenny Shaw in February 2010.

Methods and design
Database design, falls under the design phase of the SDLC. With the "traditional" waterfall model, just as with all other aspects of design, the database design would need to be completed in comprehensive detail during this phase, prior to any development which is done in the subsequent implementation phase, as I'm sure you understand already.
When it comes to Agile, things get a lot more flexible. Agile itself is not a method, it's simply a set of values, which several methods comply with. One of the core components of Agile methods in general is iterative development. With iterative development, the system is broken down into smaller pieces, and small selections of these pieces are tackled in "iterations". Each iteration is like a mini software project in its own right. First a little planning is done, then design work, then implementation and testing (can be done together as test driven development (TDD)). The design is allowed to evolve over time. It is in these mini design phases that designs for the database will be created and evolve. The bulk of the design work may end up being done in the design part of the very first iteration, however this design does not need to stay fixed, it can evolve over time through the subsequent iterations.
The idea expressed in the database book that you've been reading, that "database design should be parallel to the software design", fits with the philosophy of Agile software development. With the "traditional" waterfall method, as I already described, the database design would have to be completed before absolutely any implementation work is done, and it should have been done in enough detail, and analysed so thoroughly that absolutely no changes are needed later on. This obviously can waste a hell of a lot of time; it is much easier and much more natural to allow design to be done in parallel to implementation; for it to be allowed to evolve.
Here are two books I recommend:
One thing you should understand with XP, is that unlike most (all?) other methods, there are no "phases". You just have a set of values, principles and practices, and it's down to you to simply use them effectively for any given project.
- Agile Experience design, by Lindsay Ratcliffe and Mark McNeil. This book talks about how design work fits into Agile methods in general. It's technically a web design book, but the essence of it if I remember correct should really apply to any and all design work, and I found it to be a good read.
- Extreme Programming Explained, by Kent Beck (second edition). This book explains XP, a popular Agile method. The author of the book is the creator of the method, and one of the founders of the Agile manifesto. In researching methods for my dissertation I found information on XP on the web to be pretty rubbish; the wikipedia stuff seems to be a mish-mash of things from both the first and second editions of the method/book, and with a lot of other material it's either out of date or difficult to tell or understand clearly. This book really helped me understand it (as it clearly should).
Database design documents.
Firstly understand that you've got two principle types of databases, relational databases and non-relational databases. Relational databases are not object oriented.
What documentation you produce can sometimes depend on the SDLC method you're following. SSADM for example, which I had to follow during part of my university course, explicitly dictates the use of DFD's and ERD's. As another example, WSDM defines documentation that you must produce, but does not actually define which exact models you use to produce them.
Understand that with Agile methods, a common misconception is that you produce no documentation at all. This is completely false, you produce only what you need to produce, and keep things as simple as you can. If an external client wants/needs a detailed ERD, you produce one and provide updated copies as things evolve. If they don't demand one, you may perhaps decide that you don't need to bother producing one at all. It depends on each unique project.
Something you should be aware of is UML, which is a standardised modelling language. UML is object oriented. UML can be used for modelling a database, however can have some disadvantages over an ERD. The following might be helpful: UML as a Data Modeling Notation, Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4.
"Class diagram" is probably referring to the UML concept.
Personally I would consider an ERD model to be the standard model to produce. However, I have little experience in database modelling in industry since I'm only just in my last year of university, and up to this point as a student I've always so far simply been told what models to produce, which has always been an ERD and sometimes additionally a DFD.
Normalisation is a set of rules for how to structure a database. In learning normalisation you might go through a normalisation "process", producing a database in 1NF, then 2NF, etc. Once you understand the rules though, from that point on you simply cut straight to it, you don't really think about normalisation, you don't go through a normalisation "process", you simply produce a database that is normalised. So no method or model is going to describe/require the use of normalisation, it's just simply a standard set of rules that you should follow in producing the database model.
I should however point out that in the real world, most if not all databases are never fully normalised. Full normalisation can take things too far and start becoming a problem, for example by making queries unnecessarily complex.
Were you asking whether normalisation fits in with an object oriented database though? If so, then I believe the standard rules of normalisation are specifically for relational databases only. Google "normalization of an object oriented database", e.g. this.
Edit: Search for "erd" in google images for a proper idea of what one looks like if you need to. The one on wikipedia isn't representative of erd's that I have personally produced.
Posted 24 November 2012 - 23:53
Posted 25 November 2012 - 01:57
So basically I will be designing software in Visual studio (visual c#). An object oriented language. Now when it comes to designing the database I will probably develop some diagram in UML format as you have mentioned it is object oriented.
What does the design process involve for object oriented databases? Does it involve analysis of the business first (understand how the business operates, it's key objects and different business processes and things like that?) Basically do I base the database design on a set of facts or a description of the business and so develop a UML based diagram based on the facts? So I should first understand the nature of the business? (interview employee's etc)
Is there a set procedure I should be following like a series of steps when designing the database? Or can I just jump straight into making a UML based diagram? Also is one UML diagram sufficient as a database design which can then be implemented and created?
I found this process on the web for designing simple databases, can this process be used for object oriented databases?
What about the database technology offered in Visual c# is that relational or object oriented? And do we query it with SQL?
Can I develop relational databases in visual c#? I am reading a book on Visual c# and object oriented concepts and nowhere does it talk about designing a database. The closest thing it relates to a database is a class diagram which includes attributes, object names and behaviors or methods. Is it the case that a UML diagram is essentially the design of a database? It also talks about sequence and activity diagrams. (strangely it doesn't mention anything about testing which is why i am going through another book as this one seems incomplete to forget such an important topic.
Posted 27 November 2012 - 10:42
Posted 28 November 2012 - 06:12
Posted 28 November 2012 - 23:56
Firstly, use a relational database, not an OO one. As I said earlier, I don't recognise even a single product name out of the OO ones listed in the link above and my impression is that they are rarely used. Using a relational database you should therefore create an ERD, not a UML diagram for the database.
Posted 30 November 2012 - 00:13
Secondly, and most important of all, Keep things simple!
- In creating design documents/models, only create whatever will help you, give you what you need and nothing more.
- Create your diagrams free-hand. Don't waste time trying to use a software package to produce something "neat".

Congratulations to our 310 donors that supported the Reimagining the John Stewart Memorial Library project and had their gifts matched by Marguerite Brooks Lenfest '55! Marguerite offered a $3,600,000 match on February 1, 2013 and just over one year later it was completely matched.
Giving is a personal decision. Take the time to read the profiles below to see if it is the right decision for you.
"I've always loved books. When I was a young girl, I would visit the Carnegie Library of
Pittsburgh's main branch in Oakland. Books represented the world to me. I went on to
earn my undergraduate degree at Carnegie Mellon University, not far from that branch.
My grandparents were immigrants who grew up in Pittsburgh. Books were important to
their education and mine. They overflow the shelves in my office and my home now. That's
why the John Stewart Memorial Library project – the revitalization of Wilson's library
– is so important to me. The Stewart library's architecture is extraordinary. We have to
bring it back, preserve it and make it a better space for students.
When I heard about the Lenfest match for the library, I thought, "How exciting!" What an incentive to make our library a really stellar learning environment. I wanted to domy part in helping this happen. I can't wait to see the reimagined library. -Amy Ensley Director of the Hankey Center for the Education and Advancement of Women at Wilson College.______________________________________________________________________________________
I am excited about the comprehensive plan the Board of Trustees approved in January to position Wilson College to thrive in the coming years. In my 20 years at Wilson, I gained a great respect for the rigorous academic experience fostered by the dedicated faculty who mentor our students, bringing out their incredible potential. I witnessed firsthand the transformation in my own granddaughter, Caitlin Kennell Kim '04, who benefitted tremendously from the personalized attention provided from her professors and advisers. That is, in part, why I continue to offer philanthropic support to Wilson.
Inspired by the Lenfest Challenge for the John Stewart Memorial Library, I made another gift (my first was in memory of my late wife, Pat). I learned that I could direct the Required Minimum Distribution from my IRA to make a donation to the College and not include the distribution as part of my taxable income. I was aware of the tax advantages of gifting through my IRA, and an extra incentive for me was the fact my gift was matched by Marguerite Lenfest '55. This is certainly a tax-efficient way for me to support Wilson College. -Donald F. Bletz Wilson College Interm President (1979-1981), Former Trustee, Professor Emeritus.
I'm a lifelong learner. Wilson instilled that in me. I was an English major at Wilson, took graduate courses at Rutgers and M.B.A. courses at Pace University, but science sparked my curiosity and I got involved with Earthwatch in 1980. You assist with all kinds of scientific projects from A to Z, archaeology to zoology. I've been on 27 trips – Australia, Borneo, Sri Lanka. I've had such a good time and learned so much (that) I wanted to share that with the faculty and students at Wilson.
Earthwatch opened up a whole area of new knowledge for me, just like my town library, which I use all the time. We have to get the (John Stewart Memorial Library) updated. The sooner it is up and running again, the better. I wanted to move things along with my gift. The students need the library as much as they need one-on-one learning.
Wilson is a college where students learn, but also have good working relationships with the faculty. That's what makes Wilson truly unique. -Joan Thuebel '52 Retired AT&T human resources manager, Alumnae Association Distinguished, Alumna award winner '00, Wilson honorary degree recipient, Joan M.

January Meeting of the Pushmataha County Sportsman Club
Members of the Pushmataha County Sportsman Club will hold their regular monthly meeting on Thursday, January 12. The club normally meets at 7:30 p.m. at the Wildlife Heritage Center and Museum. However, the club has agreed to postpone its meeting time to allow the Oklahoma Department of Wildlife to host a public meeting on proposed wildlife regulation changes. Their meeting will begin at 7:00 p.m. at the Wildlife Heritage Center. The Pushmataha County Sportsman Club members will meet immediately after the public meeting.
The main items on the agenda will be finalizing this year's bass tournament schedule and measuring deer antlers to determine the winners of the fall deer season contest. Members that entered the contest and were successful in their hunts should bring their antlers to the meeting to be scored. This will be the only time antlers will be measured.
The January meeting is also when club members elect new officers for the coming year. No one was nominated however, to run against the current officers. Current officers are Billy Latham-president, Judd Thomas-vice president, Ellis Silvey-treasurer, and Billy Hensley-secretary. These officers will remain in office for 2012.
All members are urged to attend the meeting and those interesting in joining the club are invited to attend as well.View more articles in:

Alzheimer's disease is plaguing the public psyche in two ways -- both as a global economic disaster waiting to happen and up close and personal as the insidious stalker in the room that anyone over 40 should fear.

Tympanoplasty is a surgery done to repair the eardrum and middle ear bones. The eardrum and bones are necessary to hear.
Types of tympanoplasty include:
- Myringoplasty—repair of a tear in the eardrum
- Tympanoplasty with ossiculoplasty—repair of a tear in the eardrum and correction of a defect in the bones of the middle ear
- Tympanoplasty with mastoidectomy—repair of a tear in the eardrum and eradication of bony infection in the area behind the ear
Reasons for Procedure
The procedure can also help to:
- Restore hearing and treat certain types of deafness
- Prevent infection of the middle ear that occurs through a chronic perforation
Possible Complications
Complications are rare, but no procedure is completely free of risk. If you are planning to have a tympanoplasty, your doctor will review a list of possible complications, which may include:
- Infection
- Failure to restore hearing
Damage to structures in or near the middle ear:
- Nerves—resulting in loss or distortion of taste or paralysis of the face
- Middle ear bones—resulting in loss of hearing that may be permanent or require further surgery
- Inner ear structures—resulting in lightheadedness
What to Expect
Prior to Procedure
Before surgery, your doctor will check to be sure that you do not have an ear infection.
You will have several tests, including an ear exam and a hearing test. In certain cases, a CT scan is also done.
Talk to your doctor about your medications. You may be asked to stop taking some medications up to one week before the procedure.
The procedure often only requires local anesthesia. Your ear and the area around it will be numb.
Description of the Procedure
A small incision will be made behind the ear. Some tissue will be extracted from this area. This tissue will then be attached to the eardrum to cover the hole. Other materials may be added to hold the graft in place. If the bones of the middle ear need to be repaired, then this is done as well.
A small pack may be left in position in the ear canal. The incision behind the ear will be closed with stitches.
How Long Will It Take?
1-2 hours
Will It Hurt?
Anesthesia will prevent pain during surgery. Pain and discomfort after the procedure can be managed with medications.
Postprocedure Care
To insure proper healing, avoid the following:
- Blowing your nose hard
- Sneezing
- Exposing your ear to water—Ask your doctor how to wash your hair and shower for the first few weeks after surgery.
- Flying
- Swimming or diving
- Heavy weight lifting and straining
It will take several weeks after surgery to determine if the tympanoplasty was a success. Complete recovery takes about four weeks.
Call Your Doctor
After arriving home, contact your doctor if any of the following occurs:
- Signs of infection, including fever and chills
- Increasing fluid or foul-smelling fluid draining from the ear
- Redness, swelling, increased pain, bleeding, or discharge from the incision site
- Lightheadedness
- Pain that you cannot control with the medications you were given
- Any new symptoms
If you think you an emergency, call for medical help right away.

In May, artist Mary Erickson will celebrate her eighth year as one of 23 artists attending America's great Plein Air paint-out in Port St. Joe and Ken DeWaard, his fourth.
During the invitational event, presented by the Forgotten Coast Culture Coalition, nationally-known artists converge on the area to draw inspiration and capture scenes of "Old Florida" on canvas.
The name of the event, "Plein Air" comes from the French term, meaning "Open Air."
Erickson lives in Venice, Florida and began painting at a young age. She now travels the country capturing the beauty of nature and showcasing her work at exhibitions.
Of all the places she has visited, Port St. Joe ranks high on her list of favorites.
"It's one of the most picturesque areas in the world," said Erickson. "The best part is the people. They welcome the artists with open arms."
DeWaard's feelings on the Gulf County area weren't much different.
"The people take pride in the area around them," he added.
Erickson first became involved with the festival after meeting Plein Air founder, Richard Carrell during an art show in Lakeland. He explained to her an idea of gathering artists together on a beach in northern Florida.
Though Erickson's interest was piqued, three years passed before the inaugural Port St. Joe Plein Air event took place in 2005.
DeWaard had several friends in the artist community who had participated in the Plein Air event and encouraged him to do the same.
When he first entered Florida on the drive from his home in Wisconsin, all he saw were pine trees, but as soon as he made it to Apalachicola and took in the terrain, the people and the architecture he understood what all the fuss was about.
"The sunrises and sunsets are the best," he said.
A love of Gulf County is one reason Erickson looks forward to the annual event, but she also views it as an opportunity to catch up with her fellow traveling artists.
She describes the artist community that gathers at Plein Air as having a "very strong sense of family." Not only do these artists come together once a year to paint together, they look forward to seeing one another and appreciate the opportunity to catch up and have lunch.
"It's a win for all of the artists," she said.
DeWaard agreed with Erickson's sentiments.
"Painting is a very solo thing. It's great to get around others to reconnect and learn from fellow artists."
When venturing out to paint, Erickson doesn't have a specific location in mind. What starts off as a trip to Eastpoint may quickly see her detoured to the Apalachicola waterfront painting the afternoon sun as it reflects off the bay.
"I keep an open mind," said the artist, "I stay open to the emotions of the environment."
On his first visit to Apalachicola, DeWaard saw a worn down, yellow house that caught his eye.
"It had seen better years," he said of the structure.
He had every intention to paint it but couldn't find the right angle or the right light. The next year he tried again with no success. On his third visit, he found the perfect approach and captured the house. It later won him the Artist's Choice award by his peers.
Major supporters of the arts, Erickson and DeWaard have also donated their time to local high schools where they hosted workshops that exposed students to painting and gave them insight into the life of a traveling artist.
"It gives younger kids a chance I didn't have," said DeWaard. "It's a wonderful opportunity."
During the paint-out, the artists are spread out over a large distance and Erickson provided some handy hints for first-timers.
She suggested locating the home base for the artists as they'll post notes each morning that indicate the areas in which they'll be painting. Erickson went on to recommend the Apalachicola Historic Cotton Exchange as a great place to socialize and recommends attending The Grand Patrons' party at the Reid Avenue "Wetroom" on Friday, May 11 to meet the artists and see all of the art in one place.
Lastly, she suggested that newcomers and veterans alike keep an eye on the official calendar of events on the website. Almost every night there is a social gathering where art lovers can talk to the artists and view the pieces created that day.
The reactions to Erickson's art are at times more exciting than the creative process. She feels it reminds viewers why they live in Gulf County and lets them be reacquainted with the local settings.
"The art gives a whole different view of the area. It lets the locals see the beauty through an artist's eyes," she said.
"As artists, it allows us to capture a fleeting moment in time," added DeWaard, "It preserves history."
The Plein Air Paint-Out takes place from May 2-12 at various locations along the Forgotten Coast, from Alligator Point to Mexico Beach.

The Wheel Of Time series of books by Robert Jordan.
This is an epic story revolving around several characters and how they evolve as people from their humble beginnings in a farming village in the back of beyond.
The three main protagonists are ta'veren, whose actions shape and mould the weave of the world. There are their companions and the mysterious Aes Sedai who use and manipulate the One Power, a source of magic, to benefit their ends. The Aes Sedai will not use the Power as a weapon and they always speak the truth. But the truth is not always what it seems to mean.
The fight is ultimately against the Dark One who was imprisoned by the Creator at the beginning of time. The Dark One does have agents out in the world - Shadowspawn, evil Aes Sedai and Darkfriends.
This is a compelling series of books and once I started the first book I haven't been able to stop. When I finished one book and realised I didn't have the next one I immediately went straight out and bought the next 3 so that it wouldn't happen again.
Intriguing and compelling - pick one up and you'll be hooked like me!

David Jones
Football Presenter @DavidJonesSky
David Jones looks at midweek Premier League clashes and Thursday's Footballers' Football Show
Four Premier League games and the FF Show... David Jones talks you through his busy week.
Last Updated: 27/11/12 11:53am
To my mind there's nothing that comes close to working around the buzz of a live football match; going into the game you have an idea of the narrative and try and convey that to the viewers, but as soon as the whistle blows the script is written by the players on the pitch.
Then it's up to you alone to make sense of it all, whilst remembering the wider context of the game's implications.
Obviously your job becomes much easier when the goals fly in - as they did at the Stadium of Light on Saturday when Sunderland and West Brom shared six - and the studio guests have much to discuss.
Tonight we head to the Midlands to watch Aston Villa take on Reading in a game which neither side dare lose and where goals could be at a premium.
And then tomorrow the Sky Sports roadshow rolls on to Wigan, where Manchester City are the visitors.
Most will be expecting a City win but I'm sure Gary Neville and Jamie Redknapp will be reminding viewers how close Wigan were to upsetting City in this fixture last season, which is precisely what they did to Manchester United in April in a game that swung the title City's way.
Another cracking game awaits on Saturday as Rafa Benitez's Chelsea head to West Ham. Benitez and Sam Allardyce haven't always seen eye to eye, adding a little further spice to a derby which rarely needs it.
And sandwiched in between I do hope you can make time to check out The Footballers' Football Show on Thursday evening.
An eclectic panel this week as Didi Hamann, Graeme Le Saux and Leon Mckenzie join us in the Sky Studios to discuss the game's big talking points and their own personal struggles.
Leon will tell us about his recent spell in a Category A prison, while Didi will share his experiences of gambling on cricket, which once cost him almost £300,000 in one night.
All in a week's work!
Watch The Footballers' Football Show at 9.45pm on Thursday on Sky Sports 1 HD.

FORT WALTON BEACH —Elaine Anderson can still remember hearing the voice of Martin Luther King Jr. on her television. She still recalls how she felt in 1969 when she was integrated into an all-white school.
She still remembers the reason she celebrates Martin Luther King Jr. Day each year.
"It was tough growing up in that time," Anderson said with one of King's speeches playing in the background as she made her way to the annual parade in his honor. "It's amazing how far we've come. That's why it's such an honor to be a part of this. It's important for us to move forward, but we still should remember what he and others did."
The streets were filled early Monday morning as crowds marched through Fort Walton Beach from the municipal building to Fort Walton Beach High School. Along the way, marchers waved, threw candy and even hugged those standing on the sidelines.
Click here to see a slideshow of the parade »
Shantone Davenport drove from Navarre to bring her three young children to the parade.
"It's important that I teach them about Martin Luther King and the history of what he did for us as a people," Davenport said as she pushed her youngest, 1-year-old Joey, in a stroller, and watched her daughters eyeing the colorful parade as it made its way down Miracle Strip Parkway.
Davenport's middle daughter, 5-year-old Mariah, said parades are fun but added there was something special about Monday's event.
"You get candy and beads and things and we get to know about the King," Mariah said, smiling.
Tommye Walker, chair of the Martin Luther King Jr. celebration, said this year's attendance is on par with previous years, despite conflicting with the presidential inauguration.
Walker said the parade is to celebrate the legacy of a great man and to help younger generations understand the importance of King's dedication to ending segregation.
"He was a man who did some outstanding things when it came to equal rights and opportunities," Walker said. "As a young man growing up in Mississippi, we did see him on the TV all the other things he was doing.
"Back then I never could have imagined we would be celebrating him like this today, but there was hope of one day seeing this."

Reminder: Grand Theft Auto Release!
Over half a decade in the making, the wait is finally over – Grand Theft Auto, arguably one of the best and most controversial (Rated M for Mature 17+) video game in console history, has finally been released (on the East Coast; those of you on the West Coast are going to have to wait a couple more hours!) Although there are only two months remaining until the release of the PS4 (Nov. 15) and Xbox One (Nov. 22), sales are expected to go strong. It's been predicted that the game will net over $1 billion dollars retail in the first month alone while selling through 6.5 million release day copies netting $400 million USD. Looming releases of the two new consoles are clearly not a concern for Rockstar (creator of the popular series) and nor should they be. The sheer amount of detail, time, and effort that went into the making of Grand Theft Auto is incredible and should be more than enough to sway a weary buyer – it's been estimated the game cost a staggering $260 million dollars to produce, but when Rockstar was asked about this, they declined to comment. To put that into some perspective, the same amount of money is put into the making of some Hollywood blockbusters (the Spider-man & Harry Potter franchises.) Continue reading

I saw this cute yardstick artwork holder and decided to make it for my son's room. Except mine is the knock-off version of hers. Seriously…I used small clothes pins, spray painted them, stuck them on to the yardstick with gorilla glue, staple gunned a small hanging tab on the back of each end, and hung it on the wall. Luckily it works just fine and it only cost me $2.75. Back to the kitchen I go!!!!!!

Cute! We made these in our moms group last year, but we used the cheap 12" rulers and three clothes pins. My daughter loves hanging her art on it.:-)

It turned out so good! Not bad for $2.75. I think I need one for my sewing room.

Gosh - I so love this! Simple enough to do two, one for each of my kids - AND it can be personalized for them. Perfect!
