Looking for that special picture to put on your living room wall? How about an early start on the Christmas shopping?
Local photographer Suzette A. Paduano will be hosting a show with more than 40 new pictures available for purchase at Something Unique, a framing shop in Sherman, this Friday evening. Featuring local outdoor photography, Mrs. Paduano captured landscapes, animals and plants from around Chautauqua County.
"There's no real rhyme or reason to my photography; I do more or less what's in front of me," Mrs. Paduano said. "What I am shown I take pictures of." She assures that all her photos are natural, and that she never adds anything after she captures the moment.

Black Veil Brides frontman Andy Biersack plans to show some different musical sides of himself via a new solo project he's launching this year. Dubbed Andy Black, Biersack says the venture will showcase 80s goth rock and "dark wave" influences such as Sisters of Mercy and Depeche Mode, which he doesn't get to incorporate in BVB. Biersack tells Kerrang! magazine that, "There`s no place for Depeche Mode and Sisters of Mercy in the music I make with my band. If I was a fan, I wouldn't want to hear that on a Black Veil Brides record. It was important for me and for the integrity of the band not to tarnish it." Biersack has been working on the Andy Black material with producer John Feldmann and is making a video for one of the tracks with regular BVB collaborator Patrick Fogerty. He's not sure if there will be a formal Andy Black album or if he'll simply give the songs away for free online, but Biersack added that the project doesn't threaten BVB at all: "I made it very clear. I told the band what was going on and made it clear it was a passion project on the side, and everybody in the band gets it...It's a non-issue, because they know I'm totally committed to the band." BVB is currently working on its fourth album, the follow-up to last year's "Wretched and Divine: The Story of the Wild Ones."

This was a wonderful little apartment, decorated with artwork and antiques in a very old stone building which was cool despite the heat outdoors. Sandro and Roberto were perfect hosts and even carried my bags and gave me a parking permit to park on the narrow street.
Beautiful little house in such a great location for exploring town. Really enjoyed the stay here. Hosts were lovely and made us clear of everything when we arrived.
GREAT Shower, beautiful kitchen with big sink and oven and gas elements, nice bed and only 300m walk to town.
Great if you have a car as there are plenty of parks about 50m from the house that the hosts will give you a permit for to put in your car.
Girasoli is a charming, well-appointed residence off a small, picturesque square. It is very well presented - Alessandro and Roberta have been excellent hosts, providing lots of information and making it a smooth trip. It makes a great base for viewing the Umbria countryside and the towns both large and small. We would love to visit again. Many thanks both!
Allesandro and Roberta were at hand to do everything they could to
make our stay comfortable. A truly Umbrian experience, which means steep in every sense, but the place epitomizes Old World coziness -- and this means decoration and care and hospitality in a tiny city from
another time. Todi is intense.
Dan & Susan, I can only say special people. We immediately had a good impression of them. Amiable and polite and are people who give off energy. I would say perfect hosts and shame that were too little to get to know them. I hope to have them again welcome guests.
Alessandro and Roberta are two super hosts!
Everything was perfect: house clean, check-in and check-out procedures as smooth as possible, prompt and perfect communication when needed.
The apartment is super nice, cozy, well kept and clean. It's 5 minutes from Todi's main square.
The parking-pass was also a very welcomed benefit.
Alessandro and his wife Roberta met us at the apartment and were very helpful in showing us through the apartment and how everything worked.
Alessandro and his wife were very helpful. The appartment was clean, beautifully appointed, and we always felt safe. There was a little square with a fountain outside the front door that was picturesque. No issues to speak of. If we go back to todi we will stay there again.

The County of Kincardine, also known as Kincardineshire or The Mearns (from A' Mhaoirne meaning 'The Stewartry') was a local government county on the coast of northeast Scotland. It was bounded by Aberdeenshire on the north and west, and by Angus on the south.
The Kincardineshire name is retained for a lieutenancy area, and Kincardine and Mearns is a committee area of the Aberdeenshire Council.
The county town was originally the town of Kincardine (not, as many believe, the village of Kincardine O'Neil, which was in the County of Aberdeen). The town of Kincardine, however, ceased to exist during the Middle Ages. The only visible sign of its previous existence is the ruin of Kincardine Castle, 2 miles north-east of Fettercairn . In 1296, King John Balliol wrote a letter of surrender from the castle to Edward I of England after a short war which marked the beginning of the wars of Scottish independence. In 1600 Parliament caused the government of Kincardineshire to be conducted at the Stonehaven Tolbooth. The county used to go as far north as the River Dee but in 1891 the Royal Burgh of Torry was incorporated into Aberdeen.
The burgh of Stonehaven became the county town, and the county included three other burghs, Banchory, Inverbervie and Laurencekirk.
The county was abolished in 1975, and was subsumed into the Kincardine and Deeside district of the Grampian region. When the Grampian region was divided into unitary council areas in 1996, the district was absorbed into the Aberdeenshire council area.
There was a Kincardineshire constituency of the House of Commons of the Parliament of Great Britain from 1708 to 1801 and of the Parliament of the United Kingdom from 1801 to 1918, representing the county of Kincadineshire, minus the parliamentary burgh of Inverbervie. Inverbervie was a component of the Aberdeen District of Burghs from 1708 to 1832 and of the Montrose District of Burghs from 1832 to 1950.
In 1918 the Kincardineshire constituency was merged with part of the Western Aberdeenshire constituency to form the Kincardine and Western Aberdeenshire constituency.
In 1950 Kincardine and Western Aberdeenshire was divided between the West Aberdeenshire constituency and the North Angus and Mearns constituency. North Angus and Mearns then covered the whole of the county of Kincardineshire, including the former parliamentary burgh of Inverbervie, and part of the county of Angus, the latter being previously within the Forfarshire constituency.
In 1983, eight years after the abolition of the local government county of Kincardineshire, North Angus and Mearns was replaced by new constituencies.
The ancient Causey Mounth road was built on high ground to make passable this only available medieval route from coastal points south to Aberdeen. This ancient passage specifically connected the Bridge of Dee to Muchalls Castle, Cowie Castle (and effectively Dunnottar Castle). The route was that taken by the Earl Marischal and Marquess of Montrose when they led a Covenanter army of 9000 men in the first battle of the Civil War in 1639.
Elsick Mounth is a prehistoric trackway used by the Caledonian tribes as well as the Roman army in their northern invasion of the Scottish Highlands.

Roatan Honduras............An Island Adventure
View Single Post
Road Rash
Joined: Oct 2003
Location: The Original OC, in Oregon
Oddometer: 18,772
Back on the Main Road
From Oak Ridge looking down to Bodden Bight
Getting closer to the East side of the Island we stop at Camp Bay......................you may notice that Vern is on his cell in a lot of the pics, every time we stopped he had, or would get a call from someone looking to hop a ride on his Catamaran to Utila.
As I look for shells for TG, Vern is writing in the sand.....................
................for his girlfriend Zuni.
One more shot before we hit the road again.
Back on the bikes we start gaining in elevation, then the road starts heading back downhill, we can see we are getting closer to the end of the Island.
At this point I thought we might be at the end of the road as it dead ended here with a big puddle in front of a dirt wall. I got off my bike and told Vern to "go for it"...............and I'll take a picture.
He goes ripping down the road, slams on the brakes just before the puddle and starts cussing at me..........................hey what are friends for?
Coming back up...............good thing we only had 200cc bikes, cause I know he would have roasted me if he could
Looking at the end of the Island before we drop down to the beach on another road that we found.
The road does not go to the very end of the Island as the last couple of miles is the Saint Helene Wildlife Refuge.
Down on the beach we went a little ways but there was so much trash on this remote beach I was worried about getting a flat with no tools and miles from anyone, prep aired?...........................I'm on vacation with a rental bike, although I did have my trustee Leatherman with me
Collecting more shells and rocks.............lots of conch shells on this beach.
On the way out we did find one more road...but again I thought about how far away we were from anything... I decided I would pass on this puddle since I had no idea how deep it was.........................this didn't stop Vern.................."about 2 feet" he said
Sorry for the blurry pic, and I thought I had a good one of him coming back across, but it didn't even come out.
One more view of the West side before we head back...............notice Vern is wearing my backpack....................I had it loaded down with conch shells and rocks it slipped out of the bungee straps.
Heading back to West End, we only made one stop at this little place for a little refreshment before "racing" back to the other side of the Island.

Customer Reviews of Motorola MOTOROKR S9-HD Bluetooth Stereo Headphones w/Noise Isolation and High Definition Audio (Refurbished)
Pass on these9/21/2010
I was disappointed with the fit of these. Maybe my head and ears are different than others, but they don't seem to be engineered in the right position. Sound might be OK if they would stay in my ears. Also, the bluetooth doesn't seem to have enough range to keep your phone in your pocket...keeps cutting out. I expected better from Motorola.
No ear buds6/8/2010
Doesn't come with any extra ear buds. The only ones are whats on it. The phones are shipped NEW with different sizes of ear buds. You have to have really big ear holes for the ones that are installed on it.
Motorola Snoop6/7/2010
This product doesn't stand up to expectations. The controls invariably go bad after 2 months. They either stop working altogether or signals are sent to the main set on their own which can be very annoying. My set for example switches songs every 30 seconds for no reason. The volume up and down buttons don't work when I try to use them but sometimes volume goes down all the way to zero on its own. Its supposed to be sweat resistant and intended to be used during work outs but all the malfunctions that I mentioned above started after I started using them during my work outs. Once they go bad, there is no way you can fix them. Its as good as junk. On the upside, Sound quality is quite good. My recommendation : Buy a good pair of ear plugs instead.

In a stunning turn of events, the Southampton Town Conservative Committee announced on Friday, July 24, that it wouldn't back current town surpervisor Linda Kabot in her bid for reelection. The group had previously supported Jim Malone as their pick for supervisor, but last week Malone opted to run for a town council seat instead.
"After careful consideration we concluded we did not have a viable second choice after Jim [Malone] decided to step aside. Unlike the GOP who had a back up with Republican Supervisor Linda Kabot, we did not have another Conservative in the wings that we could put forward. Looking across the political spectrum we did not see another candidate we were comfortable extending the privilege of our Wilson Pikula to," said Susan Heckman, the party treasurer, in a press release distributed on Friday.
Kabot will still have the nod of the town's GOP, but of the loss of the Conservative Committee nod she said in a release on Sunday, July 26, "I do not know who is calling the shots behind the scenes, but I know it is not the Suffolk County Conservative Chair Ed Walsh in this instance. I have my suspicions that Republican Committee Chairman Marcus Stinchi and former Town Supervisor Skip Heaney have a hand in this high stakes poker game and the obvious delay tactics. This is disappointing and very telling. In politics, one must always watch one's back and also be prepared to counter-act such political maneuvers."
Only last Monday, Kabot announced securing both the Republican and Conservative nominations for the general elections in November. It appeared the parties reshuffled their ballots in order to circumvent a primary between Malone and Kabot. In a recent statement released by Kabot, she asserts that Malone failed to file the necessary paperwork with the Suffolk County Board of Elections in time for Kabot to receive the supervisor nomination of the Conservative Party.
"I began smelling a rat when there were several unanswered phone calls and emails to Jim Malone over the course of July 22 and 23," stated Kabot in the release.
Heckman noted that Jim Malone is the Chairman of the party, but took a leave of absence from the position when he first announced his intent to run for the supervisor position.
"As such [Malone] was neither part of these deliberations or the vote of the executive committee to not fill this vacancy," contended Heckman.
"We are happy to see that a needless and costly Republican primary has been avoided. Most importantly we are thrilled to see that Councilman Chris Nuzzi and now Council candidate Jim Malone will have the opportunity to run on the Republican, Conservative and Independence lines," reported Heckman.
Kabot, however, called the move a "betrayal of trust" and said, "Trust, honesty and communication are key to ensure teamwork and a united front."

Sometimes pure carbon can turn to jelly. That's what Patrick Royall at the University of Bristol, UK, found when he simulated cooling carbon cages called buckyballs.
The simulation heated the balls, which have been an object of fascination since their discovery in 1995, to over 2000 °C and then cooled them in less than a billionth of a second. This caused a loosely connected solid network to emerge that behaved like a wobbly gel.
Conventional gels consist of small liquid molecules trapped in a network of larger solid molecules. This is the first example of a gel made of just a solid network. "Liquid is not a prerequisite for a gel," concludes Royall – the network is the crucial component.
Rotating plates
The experiment is currently not feasible in practice, but since we now know that a buckyball gel is a possibility, Royall suggests trying to make it in other ways.
One option might be to cool the buckyballs between two rotating plates that would prevent them from forming solid crystals, he suggests. "I'm convinced it's possible."
But Wilson Poon, who researches condensed matter at the University of Edinburgh, UK, stresses that the simulation will be hard to reproduce in the real world. "Making the real stuff will be much harder than creating it in a computer," he says.

Tony Iommi, Black Sabbath's legendary axeman, is joining the cast of Guitar Star, a new U.K. talent competition. The guitarist will act as a mentor to the show's contestants along with Lee Ritenour and Rodrigo y Gabriela. The winner of the nine-week competition, which premieres June 9th on the Sky Arts Channel, will play on the main stage at the Latitude Festival in Henham Park, Suffolk from July 16 – 19.
Iommi says he's looking for a guitarist "who plays from the soul" as opposed "to somebody learning every single note and getting everything perfect." Check out this clip to hear more of what Iommi thinks makes a great guitarist.
Quick: Name an American product that's had a worldwide impact, is more popular than ever, yet still looks the same as it did when it was introduced more than a half-century ago? Here's a hint: It might be the only musical instrument whose fame rivals that of the people who've played it.
It's March already. Can you believe it? Time flies quickly when you're having G.A.S., or so my Grandma used to say. We hope this latest edition of the GearHead Gazette finds you well and enjoying the tail end of winter. Here in the Northeast, we have friends that have a rallying cry of "Time for GroundHog stew"- it would appear 4 weeks out from GroundHog day, our furry little friend may have been mistaken but far be it from me to prognosticate the weather.

Tips and Tone
Winter – Set up; You've Lost that Unplugged Feelin'
By John LeVan
Has Your Guitar Lost It's Magic?
So, this past Christmas, you got the guitar of your dreams, but for some reason, it doesn't play as well as it did when you first got it. Sound familiar? Over the past several weeks, this is exactly what I'm hearing from my customers. My shop is full of great guitars that have been ravaged by the extreme weather changes we've all seen since Christmas. Here are a few tips to restore the magic your guitar has lost.
Notes from the Director
November 2011
Nothing like the smell of woodsmoke in the air to get your Autumnal emotions rolling. Halloween was a mere blink of the eye (geez I do miss the former regularity of the Frank Zappa Halloween Concerts – RIP Frank) and you know what that means. CVS, Rite Aid, Walgreens and more, all across the country, have broken out Christmas decorations whilst we're dreaming of turkey, football relatives whilst nicking a few Butterfingers and Baby Ruth bars from the leftover Halloween jar. But I digress – there a few guitar shows remaining so keep an eye out for those. MORE IMPORTANTLY – it's time to break out your humidification for those acoustic instruments. Don't Forget!!!
Summer is just around the corner!
After what has been a very turbulent and stormy spring, many of us are looking forward to a warming trend with less rain, less erratic weather and maybe a little beach time or possibly a little down time from the 9-to-5. Read more
Time to get a little atmospheric tone for your signal chain. Courtesy of the kind folks over at The Guitar Broker, we're putting the classic Dunlop Roto-vibe up from grabs. Read more
Pack your stuff, we're oscar mike…
Wait, no, don't pack anything, just breathe, maybe read a book and we'll do all the packing.
The What : Gbase and all its stuff is moving to some shiny new servers and updates to our entire infrastructure. We'll have solid state drives (wicked fast), the latest Windows Server 2008 R2 and SQL Server 2008, .NET Framework 4.0, oh, I'm getting woozy.
The Why: A hosting environment is a bit like a house, you unpack all your stuff into it and get accustomed to where everything goes and who the neighbors are. But these houses age quickly and across town there are new houses with skylights and better sidewalks. Moving is a hectic process, but have you seen the new bathtub?
The When: From the evening of 3/24/2010 to somewhere around the morning of 3/26/2010. Moving our stuff only takes a day but the post office takes forever to deliver visitors to our new address (that's dns propagation for the geeks).
The Panic Button: Please let us know if you run into any persistent problems, we'll do our best to get them resolved as soon as possible. Just send an email to firstname.lastname@example.com and that'll create a "ticket" in our help desk that won't go away until you are satisfied.
I'll be posting status here throughout the move, check back if you need more info.

WINTER 2009 – Happy Holidays – I hope this Gazette finds you filled with the spirit of the impending holiday plus a dose of G.A.S. for extra measure! There's nothing quite like it when it comes to the holidays because not only will you inevitably stumble upon dozens of pieces of gear you'll want, but now you have a legitimate excuse to inform your loved ones know just what you'd like to find nicely gift wrapped at some point in the not-too-distant future.
IT'S AUGUST ALREADY? Holy Fuzzface? How did that happen? Well time flies when you're having fun and although the weather in the Northeast has been a little less than cooperative, it's still been a great summer. We took in some good music at Grey Fox, saw Springsteen, Crooked Still, The Steeldrivers along with some good local music. Never seems to be enough time to get to do the many things on the ole' list.
Not only is it August already but it is the 40th Anniversary of one of the most iconoclastic music gatherings ever Read more

OUR universe may have arisen from seeds preserved in a universe that existed before the big bang - all thanks to dark energy.
One of the models put forward to explain how the universe began proposes that it is just the latest phase in a never-ending cycle. Proposed in 2002 by Paul Steinhardt of Princeton University and Neil Turok from the University of Cambridge, the model argues that our universe exists on a 3D region called a "brane" separated from similar branes by a fourth spatial dimension. Under the right conditions, these branes collide, triggering a big-bang-like event. After the collision, the branes bounce apart, before another collision occurs many billions of years later.
This model initially struggled to explain the ripples in the temperature and density of the universe that can be seen in the cosmic microwave background radiation left over from the big ...

Washington is Warm while the West Coast is Demolishing Heat Records
You think the Washington D.C. area has been hot? Think again, record breaking temperatures on the West Coast. Is120 degrees hot enough?
Death Valley. Sounds like a charming little area doesn't it? How about the fact that it is measured as consistently one of the hottest places on Earth?
- Temperatures normally reach or exceed 100 degrees F from mid-May to early October. On July 1st, 2013, a freelance meteorologist and his thermometer measured the temperature in Death Valley at a whopping 135 degrees F. However, due to this measurement being an unofficial thermometer and not associated with the Las Vegas National Weather Service, the record would not be recognized. Therefore, the temperature that was recorded does not break the old temperature of 134 degrees that was set on July 10th, 1913 in Greenland Ranch an area of Death Valley. In fact, that temperature was the highest reliable recorded air temperature with a properly sighted and maintained thermometer on Earth! There is even a celebration this year to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the world record high temperature.
This global high temperature record from 1913 has always been controversial. In El Azizia, Libya (on what was at that time an Italian army base off the Libyan coast) September 13th, 1922, a temperature of 136 degrees F was recorded! The World Meteorological Organization eventually certified this as the hottest global air temperature ever recorded. But of course, there was evidence after an investigation that suggested the reading was invalid. Most likely because of misinterpretation of the reading on the thermometer (where is Adam Caskey when you need him?).
(This is a drawing of the Six-Bellini thermometer, the antiquated type used to make the observation of the disputed world's hottest temperature in El Azizia, Libya)
Also, there were several inconsistencies measurements taken at the same site and nearby weather stations at this time. The reading in Libya was also taken over asphalt which would of course be hotter than its desert surroundings. On September 12, 2012 (100 years after the initial controversy) the World Meteorological Organization officially re-certified the 134 degree reading on July 10th, 1913 at Death Valley as the all-time higher air temperatures recorded globally.
The west coast is in the middle of a heat wave, a very dangerous heat wave where temperatures continue to top out in the triple digits with overnight lows barely bottoming out in the 80s.
A ridge of strong high pressure in the upper levels of the atmosphere set up shop on June 27th over northern New Mexico and since then has meandered back and forth from Utah, to Nevada and California continuing to pump life-threating heat into portions of western United States. This high pressure looks to hang tough over the west before it finally begins to break down towards the end of this week. However, until then – areas in the western US will continue to be under excessive heat warnings. So if you want to find the extreme heat – you know where to go!

WHAT is the Internet? To most people, it's the Web and maybe e-mail. But to a large extent, these are to the Net what filmed radio shows were to TV: new media imitating older media until people figure out what the new ones are really good at.
The peer-to-peer (p2p) and Web services conference last month in Washington DC was a strong reminder that the Net is still a work in progress. Peer-to-peer came to fame because hooking people's computers together without any central server enabled them to "share" music files (netspeak) or "steal" them (recording-industry speak). Napster, p2p's first incarnation, took off when music files began disappearing from websites in response to threats from the industry.
Cue John Gilmore, co-founder of the Electronic Frontier Foundation: "The Internet perceives censorship as damage, and routes around it." Gilmore's famous line alludes to the Net's origins as a network designed to survive ...

These beaches provide important resources for nesting shorebirds and sea turtles as well as the local economy, and by volunteering for these cleanup efforts to remove unsightly and harmful trash and debris, you can help improve our valuable coastal habitats. Volunteers will also document the amount and types of items they pick up on the beach to determine sources of coastal debris to help reduce and prevent its adverse impacts on beaches. If you are interested in volunteering for these cleanup events or have any questions, please e-mail Jessica McKenzie at email@example.com
The St. George Island Coastal Cleanup on Saturday runs from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., or until all sections of beach have been covered. Participants are asked to meet at the St. George Lighthouse parking lot, at

- Undergraduate Information
Undergraduate Alumni
Several recent graduates from the American Studies major are featured below, illustrating the broad range of career and educational paths taken by our students.
Becky Gorley (2010)
Working at Queen of Peace Center as a Community Development and Grants Associate. Queen of Peace Center provides family-centered treatment and recovery for women and families with substance abuse. I do community building and organizing in the neighborhoods where QOPC has permanent housing, with the overarching to develop the health, wellness and recovery of the communities. I live in South City and bicycle to work.
Capstone Project: "Listening to College Hill" uncovered the local narrative of residents who live in the North St. Louis City neighborhood of College Hill and revealed how the dominant narrative of the media is a social deterrent and economically detrimental to residents, outsiders and investors. The local narrative needs to be strengthened, shared and listened to in order for real understanding and just investment of a neighborhood like College HIll.
I did a Social Work practicum at Queen of Peace Center and began researching and meeting residents from the neighborhood where QOPC has a recovery home for pregnant and parenting women. I began to weave my interests in sociocultural history and social justice issues to form a base for community organizing. I developed meaningful relationships with residents and applied for a grant to do community based work to address substance abuse through QOPC. I began doing this work in July 2011 after receiving the grant.
I studied abroad in Madrid, Spain at the SLU campus. It was one of the best experiences I had during my undergrad. I highly recommend going abroad. It is so easy to apply and make it happen.
Greg Stock (2008)
I currently live in San Francisco, CA and I work for the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco. FAMSF consists of two museums in San Francisco; the de Young Museum and Legion of Honor Museum. Under the department of Education, I produce a weekly night event at the de Young Museum in Golden Gate Park called "Friday Nights at the de Young." Friday Nights at the de Young offers a variety of interdisciplinary arts programs, including live music, poetry, films, dance, tours, hands-on art-making, talks and more.
I also coordinate Academic Symposia in association with our special exhibitions. Our department spearheads the Cultural Encounters Initiative at the de Young is a series of interconnected programs created in collaboration with community arts organizations and performing and visual artists. These programs are designed to attract new and diverse audiences to the museum while creating exciting educational and artistic possibilities from the permanent collection and temporary exhibitions.
While I was an undergraduate at SLU, I interned at the St. Louis Regional Arts Commission with Roseann Weiss, Director of Community Art Programs & Public Art Initiatives for a semester and summer. The experience, though I did not know at the time, planted the idea that I eventually want to follow a career in arts management. My undergraduate degree in American Studies has been an invaluable resource maneuvering an American city as diverse and complicated like San Francisco.
My most influential period of my undergraduate career was when the American Studies department supported my study abroad during my senior year at SLU. I studied at the Casa de la Solidaridad in San Salvador, El Salvador. My time living in El Salvador has informed every choice I have made since then with my living situation, my community involvement and my career. It pushed me academically, emotionally and spiritually in ways that I could have never experienced in a classroom setting. Coupled with my classes and professor support, my American Studies undergraduate degree has been applicable to every work setting and environment I have faced in the last three years. It has also made me more adept at difficult situations and dealing with the unique identities that exist in the United States.
Sarah Hale (2009)
After graduating summa cum laude from Saint Louis University in 2009 as a Presidential Scholar with Honors degrees in American Studies and English (Minor: German, Cert. Creative & Professional Writing), I completed a Master's Degree in Media & International Conflict at the Clinton Institute for American Studies in Dublin, Ireland. During this time, I spent some time sub-editing and reporting at news site Politico.ie—as well as indulging in my lifelong passion for Irish traditional music!
Upon graduation, I began work at the Dublin office at SAP, a global business software company based in Walldorf, Germany. I'm currently an internal account manager for the UK and Ireland, coordinating software projects with large enterprises in the Retail, Travel & Transportation space.
I'm currently studying for an advanced diploma in Marketing, Advertising & PR with the Institute for Commercial Management, maintaining an avid interest in business, technology and the news—and in American foreign policy!
My American Studies work at SLU centered around American domestic policies, from local-government urban policy decisions to an examination of national transportation networks. The following work/internships plugged into different facets of that research, primarily through news:
Fall 2006: Billiken Academic Experience Day, Co-Chair (Pres. Scholars)
Summer 2007: St. Louis Suburban Journals, New Projects division
Fall 2007: Heidelberg Center for American Studies—Heidelberg, Germany
Summer 2008: St. Louis Catholic Charities, Creative Projects; career shadow at the St. Louis Post-Dispatch
Fall 2005-Spring 2009: The University News, Editorials Editor
Spring 2008-Spring 2009: President, Missouri College Media Association
I spent Fall 2007 semester at Ruprecht-Karls-Universitaet Heidelberg in Heidelberg, Germany. While there I studied German language, also taking courses in German/English related to the major. A fantastic and inspiring 4 months, that semester helped me dig into German language & assist research at the Heidelberg Center for American Studies (and was a first glance at the company for which I'm now working!) Well worth the experience—have been back to Heidelberg twice since then for business and to visit friends.
Hannah Koesterer (2010)
I am a first year law student at Northwestern University. I graduated from SLU in 2010 and spent the year between college and law school working as a paralegal at Foley & Lardner, LLP, a large law firm in Chicago.
My capstone project was a paper about news coverage of female athletes in US media. I looked at how female athletes appeared in major sports news outlets like ESPN and Sports Illustrated and sought to find out what makes a female athlete newsworthy, and ultimately what this reveals about the intersection between gender politics and women's sports.
I did an internship at the SLU Legal Clinic my junior year and received class credit for it. Like many law schools, SLU Law has a legal clinic where third year law students work on real cases for indigent clients under the supervision of attorneys and clinical professors. I worked on a variety of projects, mainly legal research at the request of law students. I also attended a number of court hearings and contributed to a crucial brief that was eventually filed on behalf of one of the clinic's clients.

Will Failing Schools Be Punished
Out of over 1,800 schools in Wisconsin that received a public report card
with a rating last week, 86% met or exceeded the state's expectations for performance. About 14% of the schools rated fell below the state's expectations for performance. La Crosse finished in the upper tier of the grading system though Dr. Troy Harcey says they were already unpacking common course state standards which are much more rigrous academic standards for the students. But it goes beyond that.
But the state hasn't said what supports or penalties those 266 struggling schools might face. The state Department of Public Instruction intends to lobby lawmakers during their next session for more funding to support struggling schools.

EFFORTS are underway to address challenges facing health practitioners, especially over the freezing of recruitment. This was said by Child and Child Welfare Minister Dr Henry Madzorera. In a speech read on his behalf during the Fifth Annual Congress of the Health Profession Authority by principal director in the Ministry Dr Christopher Tapfumaneyi, Dr Madzorera said Government was aware of the challenges affecting the health sector.
"We have challenges being faced as a result of the blanket freeze on recruitment of civil servants where the patient to staffing ratios in public hospitals are no longer being met and this is affecting the health service delivery system," he said.
"Negotiations are underway to find creative ways to deal with these challenges."
Dr Madzorera said Government was exploring ways of addressing duty on medical equipment with a view to ensure that healthcare system delivery catches up with the latest technological developments.
He said health professionals should strive to ensure that healthcare is accessible.
"I would like to encourage health professionals to ensure health services and medicines become accessible to the people through fair and reasonable charges," said Dr Madzorera.
"We would like to challenge them to be innovative in their practices and put a face to the healthcare of the poor.
"We have seen some medical practitioners having outreach programmes to help the vulnerable access medical services and I wish we could all emulate and replicate these admirable best social responsibility practices."
HPA is a regulatory authority that upholds and promotes high standards of healthcare delivery in Zimbabwe through monitoring and co-ordinating activities of health professionals.
Dr Madzorera said HPA should put in place regulations that protect patients' right to access healthcare and not allow market forces to solely dictate tariffs.
"I am concerned by reports that patients are now opting to fly to Malawi and India to access more affordable healthcare services," Minister Madzorera said.
Government, he said, would not circumcise 100 000 men this year as planned due lack of adequate resources.
"Another fact is the programme was confined to urban areas," he said.
"We have now come up with initiatives which will see the programme being rolled out to rural and all remote areas.
"This new initiative will involve more resources and I am sure, as health professionals, it will give us an upper hand in this new thrust to upscale the male circumcision drive."
HPA president Professor Innocent Gwatidzo described the congress as a success.
"We want more people to come and learn about some of the challenges in the medical field," he said.

"This was a very beautiful card that came out exactly how I imagined. The paper quality was very good and the printing was amazing. Our family and friends loved it!! Would highly recommend!!"
"This card was great...love the vintage look...please carry more unique hard to find looks like this!!!! And some unique religious themes like angels or other Catholic themes: a little lamb etc."
"The ability to edit this to your own words is a great feature! Especially picking your own fonts! The quality of the paper is fantatstic."
"I liked this design because it was so different from many designs I had seen. It turned out beautifully. So happy with our choice. I also appreciate the idea the design team suggested to change the color of the font so it was more legible. Thank you!"
"I loved everything about this card except the size for some reason i thought it would be bigger ? Maybe it was the size i chose"

My neighborhood and the nearby river park area where I run exploded with flowers and color.
I'd recently read about the Brenizer Method or Bokeh Panorama. At first, I thought there was no way I'd ever bother with doing something so intensive (I'm really a lazy photographer when it comes down to it), but when I was out taking photos last week, which was when these were shot, I started to see images in my head a certain way, shrugged my shoulders and thought – why not. Of course the photos sat on my computer for over a week because the thought of stitching them together haunted me like homework in grade school – DO NOT WANT TO DO IT. However, after reviewing some videos I found on youtube about using the photomerge option in my old version of Photoshop I tried it out and…. it's not that bad. I found it easy and rather enjoyable. I took enough photos for four panoramas, but only one really came out all that well, which is what I'm putting here.
It's nothing fantastic compared to LOTS of others who have used this method, but I had to say to myself, "That'll do, Jen" when I saw it. It's best viewed large. If there's any interest in the others, they are on my flickr.

At every fair, festival or carnival you can find funnel cakes. The smell floats in the air and practically brings the customers to your door. This Mold Ring from Gold Medal Products' in the key to making a good funnel cake. The mold ring is important to good funnel cake operations. The "lift-off" ring not only gives you the best results, but they also help make making the funnel cakes easy! You simply fill the mold, fry the batter a bit, then lift off the mold ring and let the funnel cake float free to finish frying. A metal plate for the ring to rest on is included. This eliminated any batter getting down into the elements. The lift-off ring is for ribbon style heat element fryers.

Governor signs dues deduction ban
Late last week before leaving for Europe, Gov. Snyder signed HB 4929, making it illegal for school districts to bargain with their employees' contract language allowing for payroll deduction of dues. The legislation, which passed both chambers of the Legislature the day after the announcement of the Protect Our Jobs campaign to preserve collective bargaining rights in the state constitution, only applies to K-12 public school employees. It has immediate effect, but allows for the practice to continue where there are existing contracts.
This is a blatant example of political retribution, with lawmakers shoving through a bill as retaliation for people standing up for their rights. MEA, along with other school employee unions, is looking at potential legal challenges to this law (now known as Public Act 53 of 2012).
