NEHA Today!
> NEHA in Action
> Sign Ons
The term "sign-on" is a term of art used on Capitol Hill to characterize certain policy positions. Often one or more organizations, like NEHA, will seek to develop a policy position or position on a particular piece of legislation. To increase the impact and effectiveness of that position, once
developed, it is circulated among other organizations and groups having a similar interest in that given policy area. A consensus position is developed among these various groups, allowing them to "sign-on" to a policy or legislative position. That letter or policy statement is then sent to Congress, and it becomes a more effective way to communicate a position because of the combined effect of all groups that join in that stand. NEHA uses this mechanism as means of gaining greater attention for a policy or legislative position.
Is there a legislative or public policy issue
that you believe is important for NEHA to explore?
NEHA has joined organizations in communicating
the following positions:
NEHA is an active member of a coalition of
national organizations active in public and environmental health that was
formed to support adequate funding levels for key federal agencies.
Specifically, this group has been active in suggesting both priority areas
as well as specific funding recommendations for the National Center for
Environmental Health/Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (NCEH/ATSDR).
As the appropriation process for FY 15 begins - the coalition developed this
funding and policy letter. This letter has been transmitted to all members
of both the House and Senate appropriation sub-committees having
jurisdiction over the CDC budget. This is yet another example of the work
being done by the NEHA Government Affairs program in assuring that you
through your professional society have a voice in key policy and resource
allocation decisions.

Lead a coalition of 22 national organizations in drafting a position in support of the
National Center for Environmental Health (NCEH) budget for FY2014. The letter went to the chair and ranking member of the appropriations committee in both houses.

Supported opposition to House Joint Resolution (HRJ) 9. The resolution was to roll back EPA's authority under the Clean Air Act to regulate and limit emissions from cement plants. These emissions contain many toxic substances, chief among them is mercury. Absent the EPA regulatory authority, operators of these cement plants could have released more mercury into the ambient air.
Our opposition to this resolution supported EPA's continued ability to limit these releases.

16 ounces
chile sauce
6 tablespoons
prepared horseradish
1/4 cup
white sugar
lemon, juiced
3 drops
hot sauce
Easy and delicious! I cut down on the serving size and since I like my cocktail sauce a little more on the hot side and a little less sweet I decreased the amount of sugar to suit my tastes. I would suggest starting off with a small amount and adding in until you find the taste you like.
This would of been a good sauce except for the sugar. I made it for a dinner party and it was very sweet. I ended up using bottle cocktail sauce with a little doctoring up.
I would not put in any sugar.

Delish!! This was so good. I used ketchup and added extra hot sauce. Since I used ketchup instead of the chile sauce I cut down on the sugar.
Very good. I adjusted ingredients to taste.
I made this three hours before the luncheon. The ladies loved it and the men felt it needed more kick. Maybe if I had made it earlier, the horseradish would be stronger. Either way, it has be much fresher taste than premade sauce and it was loved by all.
Perfection is the best adjective I could come up with to describe this wonderful cocktail sauce. Thanks so much Sara!
Don't be afraid of the spice. I added lots of extra hot sauce and my whole family loves it! My wife will not eat shrimp anymore unless I have this to dip it in. The horseradish is perfect, and the key to this recipe. FANTASTIC
an awesome sause would leav out the sugar though

WRITTEN BY: Tony Reyes, Vic Sotto, Bibeth Orteza
DIRECTOR: Tony Reyes
GENRE: Fantasy/Comedy/Horror
PRODUCERS: OctoArts Films, M-Zet TV Production, APT Entertainment
MAIN CAST: Vic Sotto, Cristine Reyes, Jean Garcia, Agot Isidro, Dante Rivero, Jackie Rice, Denise Laurel, Empress Schuck, Richie D' Horsie, Rafael Rosell, Mika dela Cruz, Barbie Forteza, Wally Bayola, Allan K, Joonee Gamboa, Luz Fernandez, Gian Sotto, Jenny Miller, Shalala, Tita Swarding, Mosang
SPECIAL GUEST STARS: Joey de Leon, Oyo Sotto, Jacky Woo and Pia Guanio
There are two kinds of aswangs: the white and black aswangs. The white ones are merely mischievous while their black counterparts eat human flesh.
The black aswangs in Isla Negra are led by the wicked Barang (Jean Garcia) and in her group are nieces Alfa (Jackie Rice), Beta (Denise Laurel) and Keka (Empress Schuck), nephew Joaquin (Rafael Rosell) and the cruel warlock Gino (Gian Sotto). Ida (Agot Isidro) and her lovely daughter Eliza (Cristine Reyes) are part of them too but they are reluctant to eat human flesh and without Barang's knowledge, they feed upon animals.
When Joaquin pressures Eliza to marry him, Ida decides to escape and goes to the city. They sought shelter and protection in Ida's cousin Banong. It is in Banong's community where Eliza meets Victor (Vic Sotto) and there was instant attraction between the two of them.
Victor is a call center manager who is already a widower. He has two adorable daughters, Darlene (Barbie Forteza) and Angel (Mika dela Cruz). They live with Victor's father Tata Do (Dante Rivero) who is the barangay captain of the place, Nana Simang (Luz Fernandez), the housekeeper and Tom (Richie D' Horsie), Victor's cousin who also works in the call center as a janitor. Gerry (Wally Bayola), the barangay aide is a fixture in the house as well.
Many girls in the workplace are attracted to Victor but he keeps distance from them. He says his loves are his two daughters. But when he accidentally met Eliza, things are bound to change.
Though they belong to different "races," Ida tells Eliza that it's not bad to fall in love with Victor for it might free her from the curse of being an aswang because there's a legend that only the purest of love can turn a "creature of the night" into a normal human being.
Through the prodding of Tom and Gerry, Victor eventually courts Eliza and they became sweethearts. His daughters also came to like her in the long run. But at one point, Eliza reveals to Victor her true identity: that she's an aswang. She asks him if he will still love her despite her dark secret.
Will Victor accept Eliza and her true nature? What will happen when Barang forces Eliza and Ida to return to their coven? Will Victor fight against the black aswangs or will he turn his back on his darling aswang?
Find out when this fantaserye opens on Christmas Day on December 25, 2009.

MXR M234 Analog Chorus
Somewhere between the minimalist Micro Chorus and the larger format Stereo Chorus, MXR's new Analog Chorus combines a pedalboard-friendly compactness with the control provided by five knobs.
With true analogue bucket brigade technology onboard, juxtaposition of the rate and depth controls gives a wide range of familiar classy chorus tones. But it's the other three knobs that sweeten the deal, with the two EQ knobs putting the tone in the zone and the level knob adding in as little or as much effect as you want, from a subtle shift in your tone to a full-on ensemble sound.
A versatile, quality box for those looking to add some chorus to their pedalboard.
MusicRadar Rating
Small footprint for a five-knob pedal; useful tone controls.
Four-screw battery access.

Tuesday - June
17, 2003
RALEIGH - United States Attorney Frank D. Whitney announced that PEDROLAND, INCORPORATED, of 3346 Highway 301 North, Hamer, South Carolina, pled guilty pursuant to a plea agreement and was sentenced in federal court in Raleigh on Monday, June 16, 2003. Chief U. S. District Judge Terrence W. Boyle accepted the company's plea of guilty to participating in an illegal gambling business, which was charged in a one-count Criminal Information, and immediately proceeded to sentencing.
PEDROLAND, INCORPORATED, will forfeit to the United States the sum of $400,000.00, as well as all other property listed in a forfeiture notice contained in the Criminal Information. That list includes 25 video gaming machines, money counters/sorters, calculators, a "Dollar Bill Checker," and a cash register. The company also will pay a $400.00 special assessment to the court.
PEDROLAND, INCORPORATED, was charged with participating in an illegal gambling business, namely, Silver Slipper Arcade, located in Robeson County, N. C., and Dillon County, S. C., from approximately July 25, 2000 to September 28, 2000. According to the Criminal Information, the illegal gambling business involved
video and arcade games that were operated in violation of North Carolina General Statutes, that is, games of chance that awarded prizes of more than nominal value. Because the gambling business involved at least five persons; remained in continuous operation for more than 30 days; and generated a gross revenue of at least $2,000.00 in a single day, it constituted a violation of federal law.
Investigation of the case was conducted by the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the North Carolina Division of Alcohol Law Enforcement. Assistant U. S. Attorney Peter W. Kellen handled the case for the government.

Project Blue Student Competition
** This design competition is a learning exercise. It is not a campus project that is under design or consideration. **
Re-envisioning Kellogg Creek
The College of Science invites all students to apply their extraordinary talents, skills and creativity to re-envisioning a little known natural resource, Kellogg Creek, into a campus centerpiece. This learning exercise is an opportunity to explore, observe, discover and collaborate on the significant scientific, cultural, and historic attributes of the campus' surrounding environment.
Kellogg Creek
Rarely noticed and informally named, Kellogg Creek originates just above the Box Canyon area (behind Building 1 and below the Kellogg House) of the Voorhis Ecological Reserve. As it flows downhill through the Reserve, the creek supports a typical southern California riparian habitat (e.g. coast live oaks, sycamores, willows). Currently, at its junction with Parking Lot A, the creek is channeled into a drain. However, seepage is evident by the presence of irises and non-native palms just to the northwest of Building 1. As surface water collects, it is drained below ground.
The Challenge
Your challenge is to imagine a different Kellogg Creek, one that is a vital component of the campus infrastructure, a place where community members can gather, learn, investigate, and appreciate a scarce commodity in Southern California – water! This will be a tri-phased event with competitions occurring every quarter. At the end of each quarter, teams will showcase their results as a poster presented publicly at a locally hosted event where a panel of faculty members will judge entries. All competitors will receive a 75th anniversary T-shirt. Cash prizes will be awarded to first ($750/team), second ($500/team), and third ($250/team) place winners of each quarterly event.
For more competition details, download a PDF of the three challenges and rules.

Paul Hunt (Tottenham Hotspur fan) says...
I was disgusted with the performance of a British manager yesterday. David Moyes'' haranguing of the referee after the Everton v. Manchester United game was totally unacceptable. One could see that the referee was taken aback by the vehemence of Moyes, who should be penalised for his actions. Totally over the top and out of order and a terrible example for youngsters. Even his equally stupid acolyte, whoever he was, copied his reaction, like Phil Neal to Graham Taylor. Pathetic!

I would love nothing more than to see more British coaches rise into top club management. However, I don''t think big premiership clubs opt for foreign coaches just for the exotic ring of their names. Coaches like Ancelotti and Wenger came in with credentials that matched the club''s ambitions at the time. Also, big clubs are drawn to coaches with continental exposure or exploits because they routinely face European clubs in UEFA competitions. I don''t think it''s a freak accident that Roy Hodgson is now managing Liverpool. What he did with Fulham in the Europa League was brilliant. Call it the Arsenal mantra but I believe that no one should be given a job in management or a place in a starting eleven because of the colour of their passport. Let your output speak for itself. After all that''s what happens in other elite occupations.

Developing players is like that of for coaches too. The organisation should be scrapped and reformed. This time get people who knows about football rather than those looking for pay cheques and only there to chat rubbish and forcast on money flowing in and out of the FA. Look at the National Team today. Down below par!

(note league cups dont count teams send out there reserves in them. And the FA cup doesn'' count because its third on the list of trophies big clubs want to win. Clubs dont bring in a guy to win an FA cup or a league Cup lol. ) I have to disagree with you Christopher. I think the reason why Moyes and Redknapp aren''t getting any big jobs is simply because they haven''t won anything. Even Sir Alex Ferguson won something before he came to Manchester united. If you forget this is the man who broke the old firms dominance in Scotland and beat Real Madrid in the champions league final with Aberdeen. He actually won something before he got a big job, and thats how it should be. It is idiotic to say that you want some one to get a big job simply because he looks talent. The only way you can truly judge talent in football management is by trophies. What major trophy has Redknapp or Moyes won in management. Its not like we have gotten to a point where lets say a british manager ala bobby robson cant get a job anymore. Bobby Robson got big jobs home and a board because he is a winner. I''m sorry but Adkins& Southgate haven won anything (major), You could say that the reason why they are not winning anything is because they are not a big clubs, but thats idiotic to say when great brits like ferguson,robson,clough have actually won something before they got opportunity manage big clubs. The only brits manager i can think of right now who has won anything major (not counting ferguson) is Maclaren who has won the Dutch league. He is now rightly getting to the chance to manage one of the biggest clubs in Germany. If he does well who knows he could become the next manager at Manchester united, so i think brits managers should stop complaining and maybe even go aboard and get some silver ware like Robson and Maclaren. Then start complaining if they cant get a job.

Christopher Ogboke (Aberdeen fan) says...
I do agree with you Peter. I believe there is opportunities, though the risks associated with employing any manger is... ultimately that he can stir up talented players, to become winners. It is sometimes easier to connect with people who are similar to you. Foreign managers are simply a product of necessity, to lead and inspire the number of foreigners associated within the respective clubs. The Homegrown rule has brought in some balance, and as British talent begins to mentally develop in character to compete and excel within the demands top flight footballer places on their professional and personal lives, more British mangers will get the opportunity to honour the change in culture. The marketing value of true professionals can only be exemplified by David Beckham, and highlighted adversely by Tiger Woods. Chairmen, and even the FA are fully aware of the effects personal lives have on teams and success. The more James Milners, Theo Walcotts, and Michael Owens we see, the more David Moyes and Harry Redknapps will need to be in place to manage them. Till then, I feel it is understandable for Chief Executives to look out with the country for the reputation and character to handle the influx of foreigners. Even fans are wary of risk and are as quick to swing the axe at British managers as Chief Execs have been in the past. Patience is the key. Ferguson, Moyes and Redknapp have all been results away from the chop, yet the Board hung on, and reap the benefits of longevity. Managers have more power / influence when players understand they will not outlast the manager. Peaks and troughs will always occur, and Paul Lambert is a fine example of an up and coming manager who has the balance and potential to re-establish the balance. It is a challenge to us all, to be and become better in character and capacity.

Raymond Kennedy (Scunthorpe United fan) says...
I must agree with you, except that I hope that no one notices Nigel Adkins and leaves him at Glanford Park where he has done a marvellous job on a shoestring. He appears to have a way of noticing young players and then turning them into special players that the bigger clubs want. I may be speaking out of turn with him being given permission to talk to Southampton. heres hoping that his immediate future lies with the Iron.

Photo by The new SRAM Red cassette design.
2013 Red will use an all-new front derailleur, which appears to embody new technology. The changer retains a near-traditional parallelogram configuration and traditional inner and outer plates. However, I'm told that it also uses a non-traditional method to activate the cage and power the shifts. And, rather than simply moving in a horizontally, it also rotates on a vertical axis. SRAM's 2013 OEM documents note "Yaw Technology," which seems to confirm rotation. Despite sounding complex, the new unit is very elegant and allows the elimination of front trim altogether.
Then there are the new Red brakes. SRAM has eschewed a dual-pivot caliper for a single-pivot design with a leverage-enhancing cam system dubbed "AeroLink." I'm interested to see how these brakes work, as similar designs—such as Zero Gravity and Ciamillo—are admired mostly for their weight and less for their performance.
But perhaps SRAM has hit on something that raises the bar for single pivots. One of my sources rode a prototype group and told me he was impressed by the power and modulation of the brakes. Alternately, it's possible that SRAM's skewing the Red rim brakes toward weight, knowing that a forthcoming disc brake will soon answer questions about performance (albeit at a heavier weight). The new brakes are reportedly also friendly to the new generation of wider rims.
Our Take
While Red sounds like an exciting and feature-rich new group, some insiders I spoke with think that by keeping Red 10-speed, SRAM is losing the buzz war to Shimano and Campy. However, if in addition to 10-speed SRAM also came to market with a hydraulic disc brake, they may have wound up with a more appealing product. As it stands, new Red—with no 11th speed, no disc brake, and no electronic option on immediate horizon—lacks sizzle in their eyes, even if it has other impressive features. Not helping SRAM is the perception that new Dura-Ace, beyond the 11th cog, is a home run. People who've ridden it say it's gorgeous and the shifting, ergonomics, and brakes are superior to any previous group.
SRAM has heard all this and likely taken the criticism to heart, leading some to speculate that there could (heavy emphasis on could) be a SRAM 11-speed group unveiled six months or so after the new Red group. Or SRAM could accelerate its Red-level hydraulic disc-brake option.

SF Beer Week: Rocking out at the Bistro DIPA fest
By William Brand
Sunday, February 8th, 2009 at 1:38 pm in what's on tap.
Part of the crowd at the Bistro Saturday.
Did you make it to the Bistro's Double IPA fest Saturday (Feb. 7, 2009)? What a great-kickoff to SF Beer Week. Bistro proprietors Vic and Cynthia Kralj hadn't figured the gate, but they guessed the turnout would reach 1,500.
It was a great event and the Bistro crew had really transformed the festival area. The City of Hayward let them close the block of Main Street outside the pub. They transformed the street into a large, long, enclosed arena with beer tap stations under canvas and actual wooden serving tables.
So participants could wander from the outside patio on B Street into the pub and onto the main street arenas. They wound up with 46 double India Pale Ales, plus New Albion Ale. I posted the winners of the professional judging here.
There were several entries from out of state including Avery Ale to the Chief, Boulder, CO., Oskar Blues Gordon, from Lyons, CO., Deschutes Hop Henge Experimental IPA, Bend, OR, Rogue XSIPA from Newport, OR, Shmaltz Bittersweet Lenny's RIPA from Saratoga, NY, Big Dog's Hop Harvest Ale, Las Vegas, NV, Dogfish Head 90-Minute IPA, 120-Minute IPA, Milton, DE, and Flying Dog Double Dog, Frederick, MD.
Besides the winners, I tried Stone Sublinely Self Righteous Ale, 8.7 percent, 85 IBUs.Very nice: a dark brown with malt on the nose and a creamy head. Taste was malty with a dry, mildly hoppy finish.
Also, Pizza Port, Solana Beach, Lou P. Lin: 8.2 percent, 87 IBUs, A real hop bomb, aromatic nose, decent, balanced taste and a whoosh of hops in the finish.
Rogue XSIPA from John Maier was a surprise: 9.5 percent, 7 IBUs: Soft malty nose, a mildly sweet taste with lots of sweet malt and hops in the finish. Very drinkable.
Hats off to the Bistro. And if you love the Bistro, check out two more upcoming events there this week:
- The Bistro's North County Cheese-Off, Tuesday, Feb. 10; 6:30 p.m., $45, Five cheeses paired with beers from Bear Republic, Lagunitas, Marin Brewing, North Coast and Russian River.
- Thursday, Feb. 12, 6:30 p.m. The Bistro Beer Mixology & Sensory Appreciation, $40. Hosted by Judy Ashworth (Americas Premier Lady Publican) & Terence Sullivan (of Sierra Nevada Brewing Co.), Judy one of the craft brew pub pioneers has long had a hobby of blending different beers together for some intriguing and tasty drinks.

I used to be able to see images when I was trying to pin something from my site. Since I changed my theme to PageLines Framework no images show in Internet Explore. When we click pin just a bunch of white empty boxes show up, so my readers are not able to pin from my site.
How can I fix this?
Most of my traffic comes from Pinterest and it is not looking good
I have attached a picture so you can see what I am talking about.
Thank you guys!

Holly and Jacob planned probably the most unique wedding I've ever been too. Relaxed and fun, the entire family and wedding party wore Chucks, the ceremony was on the Santa Maria boat in West Edmonton Mall, we did creatives in Galaxyland, had their first dance in the downtown farmer's market, then a little session with their awesome 88′ Firebird that Jake has been restoring for years. Support from friends and family brought this day together for Holly and Jake, and they are just the cutest.
Thanks so much for allowing me to document your awesome day you two, I will miss hanging out with you every couple of months!
This wedding was also featured on Rock n' Roll Bride which I am over the moon excited about!!

Cnooc to Start Offshore Fields, Shale Gas to Expand Reserves
March 29 (Bloomberg) -- Cnooc Ltd., China's biggest offshore energy producer, plans to develop new fields, acquire overseas assets and develop unconventional resources such as shale gas to meet output targets.
The energy explorer will start four blocks off the Chinese coast this year, Cnooc said, after posting second-half profit that beat analysts' estimates. It is also "determined" to learn shale-gas technology from its partners and deploy it in China, holder of the world's largest deposits of the fuel, Chairman Wang Yilin told reporters yesterday.
Cnooc, which cut its 2011 production goal after spills shut its biggest field off the coast, plans to boost output by as much as 2.7 percent this year. The company has bid for about $9 billion of overseas assets in the last two years to diversify reserves, including shale-gas acreages in North America.
"The company has to make sure its offshore fields can deliver stable growth this year to meet its annual production target," said Neil Beveridge, a Hong Kong-based analyst at Sanford C. Bernstein & Co. "Investment in shale gas will not generate immediate returns at least before 2015, but Cnooc certainly cannot afford to miss an opportunity of this scale."
Cnooc, which relies on reserves off the Chinese coast for 80 percent of its output, plans to start production at Weizhou 6-9/6-10, Yacheng 13-4, Panyu 4-2/5-1 and Liuhua 4-1, slides on its website yesterday showed. Outside China, the Long Lake oil-sands project in Canada and the Missan oilfield in Iraq will begin contributing to earnings this year, the company said.
The unit of China National Offshore Oil Corp. targets to produce the equivalent of 330 million to 340 million barrels of oil in 2012. Overseas oil production may rise as much as 30 percent this year while domestic output will be stable, Chief Executive Officer Li Fanrong said at the media briefing.
Shares Decline
Cnooc has fallen 16 percent in Hong Kong in the past year, compared with the 11 percent decline in the benchmark Hang Seng Index. The stock dropped 2.4 percent to HK$16.06 as of 9:53 a.m. local time, as crude traded near the lowest close in almost a week in New York.
Second-half profit rose 8.8 percent to 30.9 billion yuan ($4.9 billion), according to calculations made by subtracting first-half earnings from the 2011 net income. That beats the mean estimate of 29.9 billion yuan in a Bloomberg survey of eight analysts. Chief Financial Officer Zhong Hua declined to confirm the derived figure.
Full-year net income climbed 29 percent to a record 70.3 billion yuan as crude prices surged. That outpaced the 2 percent gain by China Petroleum & Chemical Corp., whose refining segment posted an operating loss. Cnooc doesn't process crude. PetroChina Co. reports its earnings today.
Cnooc's growth trailed the 35 percent increase at Exxon Mobil Corp. and the 54 percent jump at Royal Dutch Shell Plc.
Oil Prices
Revenue rose 34 percent to 240.9 billion yuan last year as the company's average realized crude price surged 41 percent to $109.75 a barrel, Cnooc said. Production reached about 331 million to 332 million barrels, compared with a reduced goal of 331 million to 341 million, the company said in January.
Cnooc cut its 2011 output goal by as much as 9.3 percent after leaks closed the Penglai 19-3 field and the $7.1 billion purchase of BP Plc's Argentine unit collapsed in November. CEO Li reiterated in January the company's target of boosting production by 6 to 10 percent in the five years ending 2015.
Chinese companies bid more than $24 billion for overseas assets last year to help supply the world's largest energy user. Domestic fuel demand is rising even as the government pares its annual economic growth target to 7.5 percent from 8 percent.
Oil consumption growth may gain 4.9 percent this year, compared with the 4.5 percent increase in 2011, as China adds refining capacity and fills emergency fuel stockpiles, China National Petroleum Corp., the country's biggest energy producer, said in its annual research report released last month.
Shale Gas
Cnooc started exploring for gas found in shale in eastern Anhui province in December, following rivals including Sinopec, as China Petroleum is known.
China has yet to produce shale gas commercially as its explorers struggle to overcome the lack of expertise and difficult geology. Cnooc, seeking drilling knowledge, acquired stakes in U.S. shale-gas acreage from Chesapeake Energy Corp. for a total of $1.65 billion in February 2011 and November 2010.
The Ministry of Land and Resources held the country's first auction of shale-gas explorations rights last year, in which Cnooc participated. Sinopec and Henan Provincial Coal Seam Gas Development & Utilization Co. won. Cnooc will "definitely" join the second round of sale, Chairman Wang said.

How They Fared: NFL Draft's All-Time No. 1 Overall Selections (Part I)
This year the St. Louis Rams have the dubious honor of selecting the No. 1 overall pick in the 2010 NFL Draft. As history has shown sometimes No. 1 picks can either become the face of your franchise (Peyton Manning) or a colossal mistake (Aundray Bruce). So how have all the No. 1 picks fared and where are they now? We start with the top players from the 1930s and '40s in Part I of our series.
1936: Philadelphia Eagles: Jay Berwanger (Chicago, RB)
Does this name sound familiar? It should. Berwanger was also the first winner of the Heisman trophy. After the Bears purchased his rights, Berwanger demanded the ghastly sum of $25,000 for a two-year contract. George Halas passed and Berwanger became a foam rubber salesman instead (and you thought Eli Manning played hardball with the Chargers…). Serving in World War II, he passed away in 2002 at the age of 88.
1937: Philadelphia Eagles: Sam Francis (Nebraska)
Francis had the distinction of being the first runner-up in the Heisman Trophy voting. He's also the first No. 1 pick to play professionally after the Berwanger debacle. Despite being drafted by Philadelphia, he never played for the Eagles (to our knowledge he wasn't booed, but the thought of angry Eagles fans throwing their fedoras in disgust is amusing). He spent four seasons between the Chicago Bears, Pittsburgh Pirates and Brooklyn Dodgers, which were in fact football teams at the time. Francis spent time serving in World War II and had a disastrous stint as the head football coach at Kansas State in 1947 (0-10). Francis died in his sleep at his home in Springfield, MO, in 2002. He was 88.
1938: Cleveland Rams: Corbett Davis (Indiana)
Davis spent just four seasons in the NFL, all with the Rams. In 1942, he left football to serve as a rifleman for the Army during World War II. He served in France, was injured in 1944 and then returned to action in England after recovering. Following his military service, Davis became a Big Ten referee and worked for a publishing company. He passed away in 1968 at the age of 53 during a fishing trip when he fell onto a tree branch and ruptured his spleen.
1939: Chicago Cardinals: Ki Aldrich (Texas Christian)
After winning the '38 national championship, Aldrich and two of his teammates were drafted by the Cardinals. Aldrich spent two seasons in Chicago and then two with the Washington Redskins before leaving football to serve with the Navy during World War II. He returned to play with Washington in 1945 and retired in 1947. After football, he was the superintendent at the Lena Pope Orphanage in Ft. Worth, TX. He passed away March 12, 1983, at age 66 in Temple, TX.
1940: Brooklyn Dodgers: George Cafego (Tennessee)
Cafego was a two-time All American and a Heisman Trophy finalist in college. He spent one season in New York before a brief stint in the Army for World War II. He returned in 1943 and was traded to Washington. But after five mediocre games, he was shipped to the Boston Yanks (Boston Yanks? sacrilege!) where he finished his career in 1945. He went back to coach college football as an assistant and ended up at Tennessee for 30 years. Cafego passed away in 1998 in Knoxville, TN, at the age of 82.
1941: Chicago Bears: Tom Harmon (Michigan)
After winning the Heisman Trophy, Harmon was drafted by the Bears but signed with the New York Americans of the rival American Football League, instead. Harmon became a pilot for the Army Air Corps during World War II and was awarded the Purple Heart and Silver Star. He was once shot down in China and saved his silk parachute, which was later used to make his wife's wedding dress (not quite going to a bridal shop).
After the war, he briefly played with the Los Angeles Rams from 1946-47 but then concentrated on a sports broadcasting career. He married actress Elyse Knox and much of his family has gone into acting or music. His son is former UCLA quarterback and current actor Mark Harmon of "NCIS" fame. Tom died of a heart attack at age 70 on March 15, 1990, in Los Angeles.
1942: Pittsburgh Steelers: Bill Dudley (Virginia)
The Maxwell Award winner as a senior at UVA, Dudley has the distinction of being the first No. 1 pick to be enshrined in the Pro Football Hall of Fame. In his rookie season with the Steelers in 1942, Dudley led the league in rushing yards with 696 and was named to the All-Pro team. He served in the Army from 1943-45, even leading the Army base football team to a 12-0 record in 1944 as the team's MVP.
He returned to the NFL in 1945 and played with the Steelers, Detroit Lions and Washington Redskins (including an NFL MVP award in 1946) until 1953 when he retired. He entered the insurance business with his brother in Lynchburg, VA. This past January he suffered a massive stroke and on February 4, 2010, he passed away at age 88.
1943: Detroit Lions: Frank Sinkwich (Georgia)
Sinkwich finished his college career with the 1942 Heisman Trophy, the first player out of the SEC to win the award. He was also named the No. 1 athlete of 1942 by the Associated Press, the same season Ted Williams hit for baseball's triple crown (Williams didn't even win the American League MVP that season - tough crowd).
After college, Sinkwich joined the Marines but was granted a medical discharge to play with the Lions. He spent two years in Detroit (1943-44) and was the NFL MVP in 1944. He joined the Merchant Marines and the Army Air Forces in 1945 but injured his knee while playing for a service team, ending his career. Sinkwich passed away in 1990 after a long illness in Athens, GA, at the age of 70.
1944: Boston Yanks: Angelo Bertelli (Notre Dame)
Bertelli played just six games for the Fighting Irish in 1943 but still won the Heisman Trophy (Tim Tebow couldn't even do that). Although he was drafted by the Yanks, he never suited up for the squad. He served time in the military during World War II and after that played with the Los Angeles Dons and Chicago Rockets of the All-American Football Conference from 1946-49.
He settled down in Clifton, NJ, and spent the next 48 years of his life there, owning several businesses including a chain of liquor stores. He also sponsored midget football teams in the area. He passed away in 1999 at the age of 77 after battling brain cancer.
1945: Chicago Cardinals: Charley Trippi (Georgia)
Trippi was the Maxwell Award winner in 1946 and ended up in the middle of a bidding war between the NFL and the All-American Football Conference for his services. He signed a four year, $100,000 deal with the Cardinals and stayed there his entire career, winning an NFL championship in 1947. He was eventually enshrined in the NFL Pro Football Hall of Fame and is the only player enshrined with 1,000 yards receiving, 1,000 yards passing and 1,000 yards rushing. He currently resides in Athens, GA, with his second wife, Margaret, at the age of 87.
1946: Boston Yanks: Frank Dancewicz (Notre Dame)
Dancewicz was an All-American at Notre Dame but he essentially just kept the seat warm between two better quarterbacks in Angelo Bertelli and Johnny Lujack. Dancewicz played just three seasons with the Yanks and achieved no notable accomplishments during his brief career. He passed away in 1985 at the age of 60. His grandson is former Harvard quarterback Chris Pizzotti, who recently signed a reserve/future contract with the Green Bay Packers.
1947: Chicago Bears: Bob Fenimore (Oklahoma A&M)
Fenimore became the first All-America at Oklahoma A&M (now Oklahoma State) and finished third in the Heisman voting in 1945 despite leading the nation in rushing yards. He barely played during his senior season in 1946 because of injuries but the Bears still took a chance on him in the '47 draft. He played just one season with the Bears in 1947 and was out of the league. In 2007, he was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame. He currently lives the retired life, enjoying the Golf Channel, and resides in Stillwater, OK.
1948: Washington Redskins: Harry Gilmer (Alabama)
Gilmer was named the Rose Bowl MVP in 1946. After being drafted by the Redskins in 1948, Gilmer spent his first six NFL seasons in Washington before playing his final two seasons with the Detroit Lions. After playing, Gilmer spent two seasons (1965-66) as the Lions head coach and three seasons (1980-82) as the St. Louis Cardinals offensive coordinator. He is currently retired and lives in St. Louis.
1949: Philadelphia Eagles: Chuck Bednarik (Pennsylvania, LB)
Prior to the draft, Bednarik finished third in Heisman voting and won the Maxwell Award in 1948. After being drafted by the Eagles, Bednarik won two championships in Philly ('49 and '60). In a sign of how different the times were, Bednarik had a second job selling concrete for the Warner Company, which is how he got his nickname, "Concrete Charlie."
In recent years Bednarik, has criticized current players for not playing on both sides of the ball and even went so far as to say they "couldn't tackle my wife Emma." He probably said this just before he yelled at the neighborhood kids for stepping on his lawn. He recently released a book, Concrete Charlie: An Oral History of Philadelphia's Greatest Football Legend where various people tell their stories of Bednarik. He currently resides in Coopersburg, PA.

Fitness test: Those two dreaded words which seem to send chills down the spine of most individuals – whether this is in relation to P.E at school, pre-season training or as a requirement for your job. One of the most common forms of fitness testing utilised is called the multi stage fitness test, more commonly known as the bleep test. Bringing back some unwanted, painful memories? I hope not.
The bleep test is a test undertaken to calculate your VO2 max. This simply means the maximum amount of oxygen that can be obtained from your blood and utilised by the working tissues and muscles within a given time period. Although VO2 max values can be obtained and calculated, to the average individual this means very little, so it is often the level obtained on the bleep test itself that is considered the significant value.
Despite a general lack of enthusiasm by most individuals towards this test, the bleep test is a great tool for assessing, monitoring and enhancing your fitness levels. It is often used within team sport scenarios such as basketball, cricket, football and rugby as both a pre-season initiation and team selection process.
For those of you that used to hide during p.e classes at school, the bleep test requires an individual to shuttle run between two markers which are set 20 metres apart to the sound of a pre-determined beep which gradually becomes faster. The starting speed is set at 8.5 kilometres per hour which increases by 0.5 kilometres per hour at every level, of which there are 23 in total. The aim of the test is to continue to run until 3 continuous beeps are missed, at which stage you obtain the level you reached and your test experience is over.
The bleep test itself is relatively inexpensive to administer. All that is required is adequate room to run between 20 metre markers and the bleep test audio which can be obtained from the internet or for all you iPhone users, downloaded via applications directly to your phone. The beauty of the bleep test is that it gives you as an individual a quantitative marker of your fitness levels which can be easily understood and replicated at a later date. The reading provided by the final level you reach can be used in numerous ways.
Below are bleep test levels calculated via extensive research for 5 independent age groups. They provide readings for above average, average and below average levels to obtain. The first chart represents males whilst the second provides bleep test average levels for females.

I hope this article experience has been a pleasant one and not made too many of you have haunting flashbacks to your childhood P.E experiences!
Personally, I think if the bleep test is viewed as a means of monitoring and enhancing fitness levels as opposed to an independent test then your attitude towards completion of it will remain positive. The test itself is highly reliable and as a result provides an individual with the perfect tool to monitor whether their fitness levels are enhancing, stabilising or deteriorating over a period of time.
Remember, the bleep test is not just a test but also a means of training. Therefore, if you continually undertake it on a regular basis then your body will become more efficient at delivering oxygen as the demands of the bleep test increase. This means not only will your test levels increase but if you are involved in any form of team sport or equivalent then these fitness enhancements should transfer directly over.
A certain Mr David Beckham has been known to fully complete all 23 levels of the bleep test without as much as even breaking into a sweat, so on that note, I think we all have something to aspire to!
Why not give yourself a helping hand (or foot if we're going to be anatomically correct), and treat yourself to a pair of sport specific running trainers;

|The First World War
In August 1914, the Yorkshire Mounted Brigade was dispatched to patrol the Yorkshire coast, the Yorkshire Hussars between Whitby and Filey, the Yorkshire Dragoons between Filey and Withernsea and the East RidingYeomanry in reserve at Filey.
On the 1st September Lord Feversham formed a first line regiment ofYorkshire Hussars who volunteered to serve abroad, which was designated 1/1st Yorkshire Hussars. On the 15th they moved to Place Newton for training, from where they moved to Hitchin and Bishop Stortford and thence to Harlow where they passed the winter in training. The 2/1st Yorkshire Hussars remained on coastal duties until being sent to Ireland in 1918 under the command of Lord Deramore, they were mainly 45 and 50 year old men. A third line regiment, 3/1st Yorkshire Hussars was formed to supply drafts.
In February 1915, the 1/1st Yorkshire Hussars split up to be employed as Divisional Cavalry: B Squadron deployed to France in February 1915 with 46th (North Midland) Division. C Squadron deployed to France in April 1915 with 49th (West Riding) Division. A and HQ Squadrons deployed to France in April 1915 with 50th (Northumbrian) Division. A Squadron seeing action at the 2nd Battle of Ypres, B at the Battle of Loos and C at the Battle of Aubern Ridge.
Lord Feversham, deeply disappointed that he'd missed the Boer War and that his Regiment hadn't proceeded to the front as a regiment, joyfully accepted an offer from the War Office, in June 1915, to return to Hemsley to raise and command 21 K.R.R. (Yeoman Rifles), Sir Antony Eden serving as a Company Commander. The Regiment lost their gallant colonel at the Somme 15th September 1916. Capt Lord Lascelles the Yorkshire Hussars' Adjutant rejoined his old regiment the Grenadier Guards with whom he served till the end of the war, which found him in command of the 3rd Battalion decorated with the DSO and clasp, after having been twice wounded.
On 16th May 1916, the 1/1st Yorkshire Hussars reassembled under Lieutenant Colonel W Pepys as Corps Cavalry to XVII Corps and were present at the Battle of Arras. On November 10th the Regiment passed into the hands of Lieutenant Colonel Eley under whom it served until it was reorganised and reroled in August 1917. After six weeks infantry training at Etaples, the bulk of the Yorkshire Hussars were drafted to the 9th West Yorkshire Regiment. On the insistence of Captain Walker - the senior officer of the draft of 20 officers and 396 other ranks - the Battalion was titled the "9th (Yorkshire Hussars) Battalion West Yorkshire Regiment" and wore The Yorkshire Hussars cap badgeand West York collar-badges. The Battalion saw much hard fighting taking part in: the 3rd Battle of Ypres, a raid at Lens in which Lt Haslam was killed, and successful attacks at Pelves, Aubencheul-au-Bac and Marquion Quarry.
Sadly Captain Walker died of wounds 13th November 1918.
After the declaration of peace the Regiment was reconstituted under the command of Lt Col Lane-Fox andassembled in 1920 for a weeks 'in camp' training at Harrogate.
The Yorkshire Dragoons like the Yorkshire Hussars formed a second line regiment in September 1914 that served on the east coast of Yorkshire until April 1918 when it was sent to County Cork where it remained until 1919. When the officers and men learnt that the 2nd Regiment wouldn't be going abroad they applied for transfers to other regiments, and were gradually replaced by others who were recovering from wounds and disabilities. A 3rd line regiment of Yorkshire Dragoons was raised early in 1915 to supply drafts for the other two regiments and was quartered first at York and later Tidworth.The 1/1st Yorkshire Dragoons deployed to France in July 1915, as Divisional Cavalry: A Squadron to 17th (Northern) Division, B and HQ Squadrons to 37th Division, C Squadron to 19th (Western) Division.
In May 1916 the Regiment reassembled under Lieutenant Colonel W Mackenzie Smith and became Corps Cavalry to II Corps with whom they remained until November 1917 when they were transferred to the Cavalry Corps. Up to this time their only chance of mounted action had been during the German retreat to the Hindenburg Line in April1917, when they earned a high reputation. They were present at the battles of the Somme (1916), the Ancre, theSomme (1917) and Ypres (1917). Although in these battles there was no mounted fighting, the Regiment suffered considerable casualties and won many decorations. They were often called upon to support infantry attacks with their Hotchkiss machine guns. They did important observation work by which the Corps Headquarters were able toreceive information from the front line more quickly and accurately than by any other means. The Observation Troop took an active part in the Battle of the Somme in 1916 and again in 1917, up to the German retirement to the Hindenburg Line. Close cooperation was maintained with other arms and especially with the artillery. The Regiment also provided guards of honour to H.M. King George V and to H.M. King Albert of the Belgians and did a great variety of work such as digging, burying, despatch riding and police duties.
In December 1917, the Yorkshire Dragoons were posted to the Lucknow Brigade, 4th Cavalry Division, where they relieved the King's Dragoon Guards and took part in the Battle of Cambrai in 1917. As such they were one of only four Yeomanry Regiments posted to a Regular Cavalry Division.
The Yorkshire Dragoons were dismounted in February 1918, and returned to II Corps as Corps Cyclists. From September to November 1918, the Regiment fought brilliantly with 9th Division in the offensive east of Ypres. In action on 15th and 20th October they captured over 100 prisoners with 7 field guns, 5 heavy guns, many machine guns and much transport.
Hostilities came to an end on 11th November 1918 and in recognition of their work the Yorkshire Dragoons were selected for the army of occupation and acted as advance guard to the 9th and 29th Divisions during the advance into Germany. The Regiment was stationed in the Cologne area until demobilization in July 1919, when Lord Scarbrough received a letter of appreciation from the Corps Commander. "They have earned the gratitude of their country and county, in the way they've worked and fought all through the war, and have made a name for themselves which will never be forgotten".
The Guidon of The Queen's Own Yorkshire Dragoons was the only Yeomanry Colour to reach the Rhine. It was also carried in the Victory Parade.
A second and third regiment were raised and designated 2/1 stand 3/1st East Riding Yeomanry. The 2/1st converted to a Cyclist Battalion in 1916, remaining in the East Riding until May 1918 when it transferred to Ireland. It was disbanded at the end of the war. The 3/1st was raised in1915, remaining in the East Riding until 1917 when it was absorbed by the 1st Reserve Cavalry Regiment at the Curragh, in Ireland.
The 1/1st moved north in November 1914 as Divisional Cavalry for the Northumbrian Division. On 20th May the Regiment formed part of a parade of some 40,000 men before H.M. The King and Lord Kitchener. The Regiment was then ordered south to Filey and then to East Anglia, to form part of the 1/1st North Midland Mounted Brigade (renumbered 22nd in 1916) together with the Lincolnshire and Staffordshire Yeomanry.
In October 1915 they sets ail for Alexandria.
For 1916, the Regiment was part of the Western Frontier Force, a dreary job, causing a number of NCOs and men to join the newly formed Imperial Camel Corps and 120 officers and men to be detached for service under T.E.Lawrence. In December 1916, the 22nd Mounted Brigade moved to the Suez Canal Zone to form part of the ANZAC Mounted Division. The Regiment first saw action during the First Battle of Gaza, a hard engagement for both the men and the horses, and in the Second Gaza Battle it was posted to the far right flank. In General Allenby's reorganisation 22nd Mounted Brigade transferred to the Yeomanry Mounted Division.
In October 1917, the Regiment took part in the third battle of Gaza, and on the 13th November at El Mughar, supported a charge by 6th Mounted Brigade. A Squadron ERY led 22nd Mounted Brigade; having captured their objective they pressed on to Akir and established a position on the far side of the village square, however they'd to withdraw as they were unsupported by the rest of the Brigade. Sadly it transpired that the village was the location of a Turkish Corps Headquarters, and had the success of the attack been exploited then a major dislocation of the enemy lines could have resulted.
El Mughar was the last great cavalry charge of the British Army.
In December 1917, with the exception of the machine gun section the Regiment was dismounted and sent to France. Together with the Lincolnshire Yeomanry, it formed 102 Bn, Machine Gun Corps (Mobile). The Battalion saw action several times in the closing months of the war in the area around Cambrai supporting attacks by the 49th (West Riding), 51st (Highland) and 56th (1st London) Infantry Divisions.

Alessi Lluis Clotet - Wrinkled Inspirations Pepa Hors-D'Oeuvre Chip and Dip Tray
1.5" H x 12.75" W Size
About the Designer
Lluis Clotet Spain (1941 - )
Lluís Clotet Ballus was born in Barcelona in 1941. He graduated in architecture at Escuela Técnica Superior de Arquitectura in 1965 (a year after its founding) with his friends Pep Bonet, Cristian Cirici and Oscar Tusquets of PER, the design studio that is still one of the most important and original manifestations of the so-called Barcelona School. United by a common cause, the four musketeers of Catalan New Wave went on to produce witty, cerebral, refreshingly ironic architecture that epitomised the inevitable contradictions of Spain's multi-faceted critical climate at the time. Clotet's subsequent and more personal collaboration with Oscar Tusquets lasted until 1983 and resulted in major achievements like the Villa Regís and its belvedere in Llofriu (Gerona, 1970-72; widley regarded by critics as a one of the first postmodernist buildings), the Villa Vittoria on the island of Pantelleria (1972-75), the La Balsa restaurant in Barcelona (winner of the Fad Prize in 1979), the project for a high school in the district of Raval (1980-81), the restoration and extension of the Palau de la Música Catalana in Barcelona (1981-83), the Banca de Espana in Gerona, the project for the extension of the faculty of Medicine of the Barcelona University (1979-82), and the competition project for the Museum of Modern Art in Frankfurt (1983). His works include the Palacio de Los Deportes n Granada (1992), the Viviendas of the Olympic Village in Barcelona (1992) and the municipal swimming-pool in Badalona (1995). Clotet taught design from 1977 to 1984, and was one of the founding partners of B.D. Ediciones de Diseño, the company for which he designs internationally acclaimed furniture and objects.

Fall 2003 Population News Archive
Fred Pampel taught a two-week course on Logistic Regression at the University of Essex Summer School in Social Science Data Analysis and Collection, July 22 to August 1, 2003 in Colchester, England.
At the 2003 American Sociological Association meetings in Atlanta, Georgia, August 16-19, Denney, Justin T., Patrick M. Krueger, Richard G. Rogers, and Jason D. Boardman presented "Race/ethnic and sex differentials in body mass among U.S. Adults." Current research incompletely documents race/ethnic and sex disparities in body mass, especially at the national level. Data from the 2000 National Health Interview Survey, Sample Adult File are used to examine overall and sex-specific disparities in body mass for non-Hispanic whites, non-Hispanic blacks, Native Americans, Asian Americans, Puerto Ricans, Mexican Americans, and Cuban Americans. Two complimentary multivariate regression techniques, ordinary least squares and multinomial logistic, are employed to control for important confounding factors. The presenters find significantly higher body masses for non-Hispanic blacks, Native Americans, Puerto Ricans, and Mexican Americans compared to non-Hispanic whites. Among very obese individuals, these relationships are more pronounced for females. Given the known health consequences associated with overweight and obesity, and recent trends toward increasing body mass in the U.S., these findings underscore the need for public health policies that target specific subpopulations to close the wide disparities in body mass in the U.S.
Justin Denney, Population Program graduate student, received notification that his manuscript "Race/Ethnic and Sex Differentials in Body Mass among U.S. Adults" has been accepted for publication by the journal Ethnicity & Disease, an educational publication for healthcare professionals. It will appear in the July 2004 issue. Congratulations, Justin!
Robert McNown has just finished a (2003) semester as a Visiting Professor in the Department of Econometrics and Business Statistics at the University of Sydney. In addition to teaching two courses in applied econometrics, Robert presented seminars, based on his work in time series models of fertility behavior, at Monash University in Melbourne, Adelaide University, and in his home department. During this past semester several of his papers in this same research area have been published (see "in Print"). Robert looks forward to returning to Boulder next semester and resuming research projects with the Program on Population Processes.
Randall Kuhn travelled to Bintan Island in Riau, Indonesia from September 20-25, 2003, for a conference on Migration and Health in Asia, organized by the Asian MetaCentre for Population and Sustainable Development Analysis at the National University of Singapore. He presented a paper entitled "A Longitudinal Analysis of Health and Mortality in a Migrant-Sending Region of Bangladesh".
At the annual meeting of the Southern Demographic Association in Arlington, Virginia, October 23-25, 2003:
Patrick M. Krueger presented a paper titled "The Multifaceted Effects of Socioeconomic Status on Physical Activity among Aging Adults" and also chaired a session titled "Studies of Fertility."
Rick Rogers chaired the session, "Influences of Migration, Race, and Religion."
Justin Denney, Rick Rogers, Patrick M. Krueger and Bob Hummer (University of Texas at Austin) presented a paper entitled "Adult Suicide Mortality in the United States: Individual and Contextual Covariates." We examine individual and contextual risk factors for adult suicide mortality, a major social problem and a central cause of preventable death inthe United States. We link nine consecutive years of the National Health Interview Survey (1986-1994) to the Multiple Cause of Death file through the National Death Index (1986-1997), and use Cox proportional hazard models to examine how demographic, social, and health factors are related to the risk of suicide mortality in the United States. We find that individual level characteristics – age, sex, marital status, family size, education, employment status, existing medical conditions, and veteran status – as well as contextual factors – as measures of social disorganization – are related to suicide mortality risks. These results reveal important mechanisms that contribute to suicide mortality risk, a central preventable cause of death in the United States.
Jarron Saint Onge and Rick Rogers presented the paper "Trends in Biodemography: Pulse Pressure Variations by Body Mass and Sex" in a session titled "New Frontiers in Demographic Measurement." Pulse pressure is considered to be one of the best blood pressure markers for cardiovascular risk. The continuous, normally distributed nature of pulse pressure makes it a conceptually better indictor of cardiovascular risk in comparison to the standard measures of hypertension. Increases in pulse pressure are known to increase cardiovascular morbidity, all cause mortality, coronary mortality, and cardiovascular mortality. Excess weight and even modest weight gain can substantially increase cardiovascular risk. Yet the relationships between sex, body mass, and pulse pressure in the general population are understudied. Therefore, we use the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey III (NHANES III) and OLS regression to examine the various components of pulse pressure in the general U.S. population. We find that excess weight affects the pulse pressure of men and women at different rates. These results highlight the growing influence of biodemography, and the usefulness of incorporating a demographic perspective to better understand the risk of pulse pressure in the U.S. population.
Jane Menken attended the Board of Directors meeting of the African Population and Health Research Council in Menlo Park, CA from November 18-21, 2003.
Fred Pampel has won the 2003 Boulder Faculty Assembly Research Award, the first time this award has ever been won by a sociologist. Pampel has produced high quality work steadily throughout his career. In terms of the number of publications in top journals, he ranks in the top five among sociologists nationally.
Congratulations to Rachel Silvey who received a course grant, given by the UCB service learning office, to design and implement a service learning component for "Introduction to Human Geography."

How was fashion week – have you recovered?
Yes, just about! I was thrilled with the response the collection received and having made trips to Paris, Milan and launching my jewellery collection, I'm just about ready for a little break now to digest it all. It's a very exciting time
How does designing jewellery compare to designing clothing?
Well you don't have as many size issues for a start. It's similar in the way I approach the designs – always wanting to create something fun, directional, naturalistic - but of course you have to think about the different properties and materials you are dealing with and how they will work on the Giles woman
Where did you find the inspiration for the Libertine collection?
Nature always provides inspiration and I wanted to create pieces that inspire confidence; gold, brightly coloured enamel detailing and Swarovski elements embellishes work throughout the collection to provide a range that makes a statement and is fun and glamorous. There are Pop Girl pendants and a pop-up bangle which are fun, colourful and based on some of my illustrations, a beautiful 'Tetris Ring' that is stunning and sure to make a statement and a selection of insects and other characters that people can have some fun with!
Which is your fave piece in the collection?
I like all the pieces for different reasons. The character pendants are the manifestation of a well known 70s pop band and I rather enjoy those for the quirkiness they'll bring to an outfit.
What girl did you have in mind when designing Libertine?
Libertine is for any woman, of any age, that likes to have fun with fashion. Libertine is meant to inspire confidence
Are you nervous about appearing on the QVC channel? Have you practiced any lines?
I am a little nervous actually but also very excited! It's great as a designer to be able to speak about your designs to an audience directly. But no, it's not something you can rehearse. I know my designs and collection, the rest is down to the callers and the presenter.
Have you got your telly outfit planned yet?
Not yet no, but I'll most likely decide on the day!
The Libertine by Giles Deacon jewellery collection is available to buy via qvcuk.com from 10th March. Tune in to see Giles Deacon's one hour live launch show on QVC on 10th March at 3pm!

Lady Gaga Bald Look with an Album.
After Britney Spears Lady Gaga is the other pop-star performed in Bald Look, lets see what mashable speaks about lady Gaga Bold look
"This video of Gaga's performance of "Hair" on the Paul O'Grady show features the singer sporting a cue ball-esque dome for the first two and a half minutes. Gaga, who is wearing a turquoise dress made of synthetic hair and sitting at a hair-covered piano, then dons a matching turquoise wig for the remainder of the performance.
The topic is making the rounds on Twitter and is quickly rising through the service's trending topics.
No one's sure whether the new look is a skin cap (likely) or an actually shaved head (still plausible, given the singer's other antics), but the singer did say to the show's host in a post-performance interview, "I have less hair."
What do you think of the pop star's new look?"

AppBlaster: augmented reality iPhone gaming
It might be just a fancy piece of plastic, but the AppBlaster makes for some fun augmented reality gaming with your iPhone.
There's a free game on the iTunes App Store called Alien Attack. If you've grabbed it and paid little attention, you'd be forgiven for thinking it's some weird augmented reality game with incredibly awkward controls.
That's because it's made to be used with the AppBlaster. Made by a company called AppToyz, it's a plastic gun with a mount suited to iPhone 4/4S, or iPod Touch. Add your iPhone and use the integrated capacitive triggers to play.
There are three games in the App Store that work with the AppBlaster. Alien Attack, a clay target shooter called Pull, and a shooting gallery game called Tin Can Alley.
And though it's hard to know for sure, we get the feeling a bit of hardware modding could let you adjust the trigger positions to suit other one- or two-button games.
It's priced at $49 at Kmart, which seems a bit over the top for such a specific iPhone accessory. But the three games already on the market are quite fun and have some good variety. If AppToyz keeps the games coming to support this hardware then this has "fun for the whole family" written all over it.

Earlier this week at Revolver Magazine's Golden Gods Awards, the current lineup of Guns N' Roses walked the event's black carpet and talked to the Associated Press mentioning that the follow-up to the infamous Chinese Democracy is in the works. In the video below, GN'R guitarist Richard Fortus says, "We are working on stuff, and hopefully, very soon, we'll have new stuff out in the next year." Somehow, someway, if Guns N' Roses manages to release a new album next year, make sure you take time out on its release date and look up in the sky. I guarantee you will see pigs fly. By chance, if a new GN'R album does come out in 2015, it'll be about eight years after the 2008 release of Chinese Democracy, which took 15 years to come out after 1993's The Spaghetti Incident?. When you think about it, that's actually a huge improvement!
