For second consecutive game Harris and Van Hoogen combine for 40 plus points.
POCATELLO, Idaho (11/21/2009) - Tasha Harris and Jessica Van Hoogen combined for 44 points to lead the Broncos over instate-rival Idaho State 76-60 Saturday afternoon in Pocatello, Idaho. The game was closer than the score would indicate as Boise State could not shake the Bengals until the final four minutes of the contest when they out scored ISU 21-10 down the stretch. The win was the Broncos fourth consecutive to open the season and seventh straight over their rivals.
Boise State led for the majority of the contest opening as much as a five-point lead several times in the first 20 minutes. The second half saw the Broncos pickup the tempo extending the lead into double-digits with the largest lead of the day being 16 points in the final minute of the game. Idaho State lead only once during the game for 32 seconds at 7-5 at the 14:30 mark of the first period. The theme of the night was Boise State stretching their lead, only to see ISU claw back into contention until the final minutes of the game.
The first half was tight throughout with Boise State taking a four-point lead into the halftime break led by Tasha Harris with 10 points followed by eight from Van Hoogen.
The Broncos opened the second half on a 8-2 run during the first two minutes of the period to stretch their advantage to double-figures for the first time at 38-28. The lead then went to 11 points at 41-30 with just under 15 minutes to go.
Down 11, Idaho State rallied with a 10-2 run pulling to within two points, 43-41, with 9:16 remaining. Following a missed jumper by Van Hoogen, the Bengals had a chance to tie the game or take the lead on the next possession. However they came up short when Brea Matthews was fouled and then missed the free throws that would of pulled ISU even. The two-point deficit, 43-41, was the closest that the Bengals would get in the final period.
Following the missed Matthews free throws, Van Hoogen hit a clutch 3-pointer to make the score 46-41 to give her team a little breathing room. The contest remained close, three to seven points, until the final four minutes when the Broncos made their final push.
Up five, 55-50, with four minutes to play, Boise State started to pull away out scoring the Bengals 21-10 and extend the lead to a game-high 16 points twice in the final minute.
On the day, Boise State shot 37 percent (22-59) from the floor, a season-best 35 percent (8-23) from the 3-point line, and 77 percent 24-31 from the free-throw line. Idaho State countered by hitting 34 percent (20-59) from the floor, 21 percent (3-14) from the arc, and 77 percent (17-22) from the charity stripe. For the first time this year the Broncos were out rebounded 43-to-38.
The Broncos continue to control the ball committing only 14 turnovers in the game while forcing 23 for a 25-to-6 advantage in points off turnovers. Boise State also continued to dominate the scoreboard, they have now trailed a total of 1:06 in 160 minutes (four games) of action to date.
Tasha Harris led Boise State with 23 points, six rebounds, and three assists. Jessica Van Hoogen added 21 points, five rebounds, three assists and three steals. Janie Bos recorded 12 points and four boards, followed by Melissa Rima with eight points and five rebounds. Rebecca Kepilino grabbed a team-high eight rebounds.
Idaho State was led by Chelsea Pickering with a career-high 19 points to go with four rebounds, one assist and one steal. Oana Iacovita followed with 12 points and a team-high nine boards.
The win keeps the Broncos perfect on the year at 4-0, while Idaho State fell to 0-4. Next up for Boise State, the Broncos continue their six-game road stretch by traveling to Orem, Utah, for a Tuesday night encounter at Utah Valley (2-3)

By Tessa Raebeck & Kathryn G. Menu
Katy Graves was named the new superintendent of the Sag Harbor School District by a unanimous vote of the school board Wednesday night.
Ms. Graves, who will begin work on July 1, received a three-year contract and will be paid an annual salary of $215,000. Ms. Graves is currently the superintendent of the Stamford Central School District near Albany.
"We were able to come up with an overwhelming decision that the candidate we're presenting tonight is the perfect superintendent for the Sag Harbor School District," said board president Theresa Samot while introducing Ms. Graves at Wednesday night's meeting.
According to Ms. Samot, School Leadership—the firm hired to conduct the search for the new superintendent—brought together 150 people in focus groups, and collected 50 completed online surveys to help it define criteria in its nationwide search.
A total of 55 applications from across the country were filed with School Leadership during the search. Those candidates were screened and the field was narrowed to six finalists. Following interviews with all six candidates, Ms. Samot said the selection of Ms. Graves was unanimous by the board.
"Selecting a superintendent is one of the most important responsibilities of any board of education," said Ms. Samot in a press release issued after Ms. Graves's appointment. "After an extensive and thorough search, Ms. Graves was selected from among a pool of more than 55 highly competent candidates. We are extremely confident that she possesses the professional vision, administrative experience, character and interpersonal communication skills to successfully lead our school district to the next level of success."
"During our interview process, it quickly became apparent that Katy was the clear choice as our next superintendent," continued Ms. Samot. "Her professionalism, experience, engaging personality and enthusiasm to work with our administrators, staff, parents and community residents to ensure that all of our students reach their highest potential were important qualifications identified by our stakeholders."
"I would like to thank the board of education for their vote of confidence," said Ms. Graves. "I look forward to working with the administrators, staff, students and their families and community residents. Together, I am confident we can achieve an even greater level of excellence for all students. I'm also anxious to meet with students and hear about their goals for the future."
"Thank you to Dr. [Carl] Bonuso for creating a learning environment where everyone works together for the common good of all students," she added.
Prior to serving in her current position in Stamford, Ms. Graves was the assistant superintendent of curriculum and instruction at the Windham-Ashland-Jewett Central School District. She possesses a certificate of Advanced Graduate Study in school leadership from Massachusetts College of Liberal Arts, a master of science degree in health education from Sage Graduate School, and a bachelor of science in home economics/clinical dietetics from the State University of New York at Oneonta.
Ms. Graves will replace interim superintendent Dr. Bonuso, who has served the district for the past two years, beginning in the summer of 2012. Dr. Bonuso replaced Superintendent Dr. John Gratto, who resigned in July 2012.
According to Ms. Samot, Ms. Graves has already rented a home in Sag Harbor to become better acquainted with the community.

Since all of the would-be lawmakers in Washington, D.C., are on summer break, news shows have to look elsewhere for entertainment.
Maybe that's why on Tuesday cable news networks broke into their coverage of boring stuff we're gettng tired of like the Gulf oil spill and Afghanistan to bring us breaking news that some-time actress Lindsay "24 going on 45″ Lohan got 90 days in jail for missing alcohol treatment classes.
Heck, the news of Lohan first arriving in court made two ditzy newswomen on MSNBC interrupt their indepth discussion about how much money the movie "Twilight" sucked out of audiences over the Fourth of July weekend.
Speaking of "Twilight" —- here's an idea for still another saga. Call it "Twilight: Cougars vs. 'Tweens." Plot: The 40-something sexual peaking MILFs battle pre-teen pimply-faced girls for the affection of the shirtless dudes. The cougars have more than enough to offer, but they will have a tougher than expected battle against the 'tweenyboppers, who have the power to control ticket sales.
Imagine the catfights.
Meanwhile, on day two of the Lohan watch, still photos were shown on TV news of what the spoiled brat had inscribed with poilish on one of her middle fingers. You guessed it, the "F" word. She obviously wanted the photos to be taken of the cuss word —- more defiance from young Hollywood.
But maybe Lohan started a trend here. Ya. The one-finger salute could use a bit of decoration.
Maybe other celebs and politicians might want to get on board and decorate their fingernails when they want to subtlely get a message across to the hungry for attention-seekers media.
Of course, the more pretigious the person is he or she wouldn't dare decorate the middle finger. You will know them by their names.
1. What's inscribed on President Obama's thumb: Nothing, because he can't fit Socialist-Muslim-foreign-born-Hitler-Jesus Hater on 10 fingernails let alone one.
2. On Mel Gibson's badfinger: Toast
3. On Sarah Palin's pinkie: $$$$$$
4. On George W. Bush's index finger: Nail
5. On Levi Johnston's badfinger: Sorry
6. On Glenn Beck's thumb:Nazis!
7. On Dick Cheney's badfinger: Weak
8. On Rush Limbaugh's badfinger: You all
9. On Anne Coulter's thumb: Poison
10. On Michele Bachmann's pinkie: Psycho
While on the subject of always entertaining but not always bright, Republican National Committee Chairman Michael "the gift that keeps on giving" Steele is at it again. His latest blunder came last week when he chortled that "Afghanistan was a war of Obama's choosing."
You really can't blame Steele. He's just regurgitating nonsense that many Republicans are taking for gospel truth these days —- that they don't remember, or refuse to count, anything that Obama inherited. It's the ever-popular and handy selective amnesia — wiping out any bad memories of anything that happened before Jan. 20, 2009.
Steele's foot in the mouth incident came at a bad time, since lawmakers went on break (hiking the Old Appalachian Trail, anybody?) leaving not much else to talk about politically.
Speaking of timing, Vice President Joe "BFD" Biden will be a guest on "The Tonight Show" on Friday —- no coincidence that they want him there on a Friday when no one will probably be watching.
Surprised that NBC isn't promoting the upcoming visit more heavily. Here's an idea for a promo: "It's gaffes and laughs as Joe visits Jay on Friday."

Court jails man following attack in Wylam pub
Last updated at 09:05, Monday, 01 October 2012
A PRUDHOE man who attacked a drinker at the Ship Inn pub in Wylam has been sentenced to 18 months in prison.
James Isaac Madine, who has previously served five years for biting off part of a man's nose, pleaded guilty to affray at Newcastle Crown Court on Monday.
Madine (37), of Milton Grove, was also charged with grievous bodily harm and possession of an offensive weapon, but as the Crown Prosecution Service was unable to offer evidence, not guilty verdicts were recorded.
Prosecuting, Amanda Rippon, told the court that, on March 26, Stephen Bell had been drinking in the pub with a friend from around 4.30pm.
At 9.45pm, a woman entered and asked if he knew where someone nicknamed Pigeon was. Mr Bell said he did, but was unwilling to say.
On getting no further, Mrs Rippon said the woman then "stormed out", before returning a short time later with the defendant, who said: "You're being clever with my lass; you'd better tell us where Pigeon is."
When Mr Bell still refused to comment, Madine – who, according to licensee Andrew Cook, was holding something in his hand – took a swing at him, leaving him with a cut on the neck.
Mr Cook called 999 and Mr Bell was taken off in an ambulance. The cut, however, was not serious as the major arteries had not been ruptured.
The defendant was arrested the following day and made no comment in interview.
Neither Mr Bell nor his companion was willing to cooperate with the prosecution.
Defending, Andrew Walker, said Madine had previously spent five years in prison for grievous bodily harm. However, he pointed out the offence had been committed 14 years ago.
After that, he had stayed out of trouble for a decade before being convicted of drugs and driving offences.
Madine, who is married with three children, should be given credit for a late guilty plea, considering there were "very unusual circumstances in that the victim, in effect, refused to cooperate with police at any stage".
The judge, Recorder Keith Miller, said: "Mr Bell made a full and rapid recovery, but it is still a serious example of affray in a public place that involved a weapon, so an immediate custodial sentence is inevitable."
Madine has already served around six months of the sentence imposed.

Top Art College Degree Shows – artmarketblog.com
Every year universities from all over the UK present the work of their graduating visual art and design students in what are know as "degree shows". As a result of the art market boom, what were once shows more concerned with academic achievements and grades are now commercially oriented extravaganzas where the art market elite go in search of the next art star. Art market power house Charles Saatchi is a regular at the degree shows and often buys a particular graduates whole body of work which usually results in that particular artist getting plenty of press and a rapid increase in demand for their work.
Because of his fame, Saatchi is basically able to increase the value of an artist's work just by buying it so he can actually make money just by buying an unknown artist's work. Those of us that don't have the power and influence that Saatchi does will have to do things the hard way and actually put some thought into whose work we will be betting on. Below are some websites that will help all those art collectors and investors who are looking for the next big thing.

Southern Tastes Panel: Gifts from the kitchen
Gifts from the kitchen are not only appreciated by the recipient, but the giver can have a little fun preparing them, too. From beef jerky to spiced nuts to homemade cookies, our Southern Tastes panelists share the gifts they like to give from their kitchen (and a few store-bought goodies, too). Read what the rest of the panel has to say online at commercialappeal.com, and sign on to the Southern Tastes Facebook page at facebook.com/sotastes to join in the conversation.
Bert Smythe, Alchemy, McEwen's
Have you had the peppermint bark from Williams-Sonoma? The outlet store usually has a solid supply this time of year, enough for me to get myself at least three for every one I buy for a few lucky others. To go along with that scrumptious season-specific sweet, we make spiced pecans and almonds to jar and share. All you do is whip an egg white and add sugar, salt, chili powder, nutmeg, cinnamon, cumin and cayenne pepper. Mix these ingredients with pecans and almonds. Bake at 300 degrees, stir once after 15 minutes and bake another 10 minutes at 250 and ... voilà! One of the most delicious concoctions you'll eat, by far!
Stacey Greenberg, diningwithmonkeys.blogspot.com
Warren makes a big batch of beef jerky to send to his family in California. The kids and I usually get a little carried away eating it. Sometimes, there is actually enough left to send. Last year, he planned to do hot sauce, probably because we can't eat all of that before it gets out the door, but by the time we found the right bottles for packaging, Christmas came and went. There was talk of sending surprise Valentine's Day hot sauce gifts, but that didn't happen either. Hopefully, we'll get it done this year! In reality, what we usually do is round up an assortment of barbecue sauces from around town and send those out just before the post office closes.
Ron Childers, WMC-TV personality and barbecue judge
I like to give a favorite cookbook or kitchen utensil. If I learn of a person's new interest with food or method of cooking, I try to find something that will complement or enhance it, and a cookbook is usually the perfect gift. Or, if I'm at a friend or family member's home and happen to notice a kitchen utensil that I have that they don't, then I'll get one for them, especially if it's a favorite tool of mine in the kitchen. I think sharing anything food-related is the perfect gift, and if you think about it, most holiday gatherings involve food, so why not make a gift of something that can make that food tastier or easier to prepare?
Felicia Willett, Felicia Suzanne's
This season, I am giving everyone gifts from Flo's online store. After 10 years, I decided that some of my favorite relishes, jellies and jams deserved cute jars and packaging, so Flo's Homemade Goodness from the Kitchen of Felicia Suzanne's was born. My boyfriend Richard came up with a great brand logo, and we have been off to the races ever since. I'm giving them as gifts, either together as a set or individually. Lately, I have been packing the pepper jelly with homemade cheese straws, spiced pecans and herb cream cheese. For the latter, I mix cream cheese with assorted fresh herbs, garlic and shallots. I season with salt and pepper and pack in 8-ounce plastic containers with a lid. Yum yum! The products are priced from $7 to $11 each, so they make nice hostess or teacher gifts.
Martha Foose, cookbook author
Delta Delicacy Cakes from here in Greenwood. Hoover Sauce from Hoover Lee in Louise, Miss., and homemade Jezebel sauce.
Melissa Petersen, Edible Memphis
I love giving Delta Grind grits as a hostess gift or to friends who live outside the area where good grits just are not available (the cute bags are easy to ship). Our family has a longstanding tradition of making and giving caramel corn and toffee. One year, I made nocino (black walnut liqueur) for a few foodie friends. But lately, there's a spiced chocolate cookie recipe that I like to make to give during the holidays.
Michael Dragutsky, Cornerstone Cellars
A fair amount of our holiday gift-giving goes to our friends who live out of town. We usually like to send food with a Memphis or Chicago (where Beni is from) theme, so this year it is Corky's BBQ and Giordano's Famous Chicago Style Pizza. Of course, we insist they pair them with a glass of Cornerstone.
Marisa Baggett, cookbook author
One of the things my friends appreciate about me is that I'm cheesy and I have no problem owning that. Every year, I pick a theme for my "Hanukkah Happies". This year, I'm going with the "Frozen Chosen." Think homemade ice cream flavors like matzo caramel crunch, marshmallow gelt, and Bubbe's pineapple kugel, along with some chocolate-dipped spoons for takeaways at our Hanukkah open house.
Tiffany Langston, Memphis Convention and Visitors Bureau
I love to make edible gifts for my friends. I've been known to make cookies, brownies, fudge and caramels, but my most-requested gift item is my salty toffee bars (affectionately known as "Christmas crack" because I make it only during the holidays and it's highly addictive).
John Vergos, The Rendezvous
I send friends and family the famous Honeybell Tangelo. What is a tangelo? It's a cross between a tangerine and a grapefruit. The Honeybells get their size from the grapefruit and the sweetness from the tangerine. The Honeybells, available for shipping only in early January, are the juiciest, sweetest citrus fruit in the world.
Kelly English, Restaurant Iris, Kelly English Steakhouse
We do my grandma's (my mom's mom) "Forgotten Cookies." Growing up, I was told that they were named that because my grandma wanted the recipe to be a secret, so when people asked, she would say she forgot. I got the recipe only after we opened Iris, and it was then I realized that a major component of the method was to set the oven to 350, heat it up, throw the cookies in, turn the oven off immediately and "forget" them. They are a meringue cookie with chocolate and pecans, and they are gluten free. If you want the recipe, you must first get my mother's permission, but be prepared for her to change the subject or "forget."
Michael Hudman, Andrew Michael Italian Kitchen, Hog & Hominy
We (Hudman and business partner Andy Ticer) give Benton bacon and Pappy Van Winkle bourbon to our friends and family. They're incredible products made in the U.S., not too far from us, and we love to support both of these guys with our dollars however we can. Plus, getting the word out about them — once you try it, you won't go back. If we're going to make anything for people, it's dried pasta, put in Mason jars.
Kat Gordon, Muddy's Bake Shop
My dad gets family members a gift of Harry & David pears each Christmas. It is SUCH a treat to unwrap each delicious, juicy pear and savor it with cheese, prosciutto, or by itself! My other favorite gift to receive is a jar of mustard from a great friend of the family, Brad Foster. He makes the most divine homemade mustard, and I hoard it like gold. Slathered on a ham sandwich, it is heaven in your mouth.
As for what I like to give, homemade pickles are always a hit, and if I've had a productive summer, I love giving homemade jams made with the summer bounty. I also frequently give gifts of pies, vanilla extract made by my friend Courtney Shove for the bakery, and boxes of cookies. One year, I gave my mother-in-law three homemade pre-rolled, pre-shaped frozen pie crusts since she liked making pie but didn't enjoy making the crust!
Jennifer Chandler, cookbook author
I love gifts from the kitchen! Every year, I look forward to some special treats we only get at the holidays — like my friend Gay's mini-pound cakes and Tommy's sweet garlic pickles. One year, my friend Fontaine gave us a pound of Amish butter — that was cool. I always make homemade peppermint bark for my friends. I've been making it for years, and the one year I made something different, my friends complained! The trick of my peppermint bark is paper-thin layers of dark mint chocolate (available at Mary Carter Decorating Center) and white chocolate topped with crushed candy canes. Homemade gifts don't have to be fancy; it's the thought that counts!

Lodi Man Sentenced to 12 Years for armed pharmacy robberies
Madison, Wis. - John W. Vaudreuil, United States Attorney for the Western District of Wisconsin, announced that Anthony Carriola, 28, Lodi, Wis., was sentenced today by Chief U.S. District Judge William M. Conley to 12 years in prison, followed by a five-year term of supervised release, for committing two armed robberies of pharmacies and brandishing a firearm in furtherance of one of them. Carriola pleaded guilty to these charges on May 17, 2012.
Carriola robbed the Mount Vernon Pharmacy in Mount Vernon, Ind., on December 2, 2011. Carriola entered the pharmacy wearing a mask with a swastika on it and he displayed a small handgun. Carriola jumped the counter and told the employees, "Don't make me shoot you." Carriola obtained morphine and hydrocodone pills during the robbery.
Carriola also robbed the Eannelli Pharmacy, Prairie du Sac, Wis., on January 10, 2012. Carriola wore a mask and jumped the counter. He brandished a .44 magnum revolver and told the pharmacy employees to get on the ground. Carriola then went to an aisle where the licensed pharmacist was walking and the pointed a handgun at the pharmacist's face. The pharmacist grabbed the gun and wrestled with Carriola, who was demanding 100 milligram morphine pills. An employee retrieved two bottles of morphine pills from the safe and subsequently gave them to Carriola.
Pharmacy customers in a truck at the drive-thru window witnessed what was occurring in the pharmacy and they called 911. They then saw Carriola leave through the back door and get into a silver Ford Focus. They provided the license plate number of the Ford Focus, which was registered to Carriola's mother in Lodi. Police went to her home and located the Ford Focus. Officers subsequently searched the car and found a .44 caliber Sturm Ruger revolver underneath the front passenger seat and one blue morphine tablet was also found on a floorboard of the car.
Carriola was arrested at a local hotel on January 12, 2012. Law enforcement officers verified the room Carriola was staying in and obtained a warrant to search the room. Among other things, blue morphine pills from the robbery were recovered.
The charges against Carriola are the result of an investigation by the Mount Vernon (Indiana) Police Department; Sauk Prairie Police Department; the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives; and Dane County Narcotics and Gang Task Force. The prosecution of this case has been handled by Assistant U.S. Attorney Rita M. Rumbelow.

Lufthansa intends to offer the Lufthansa Technik-made NiceView passenger flight information and moving map system on its Airbus A380s, the first of which is scheduled to enter into service this June.
NiceView provides various audio and video interfaces with the in-flight entertainment (IFE) system, according to Lufthansa Technik. Panasonic Avionics is supplying the IFE on Lufthansa's A380s (is this the first confirmation?!? By George, it is!!)
Here is an important graphic buried in the German carrier's annual report today. Meanwhile, for a breakdown of Lufthansa Technik's role in helping to develop the A380, go here.

This logistic model of growth is produced by a population introduced to a new habitat or with very poor numbers going through a lag phase of slow growth at first. Once it reaches a foothold population it will go through a rapid growth rate that will start to level off once the species approaches carrying capacity. The idea of maximum sustained yield is to decrease population density to the point of highest growth rate possible. This changes the number of the population, but the new number can be maintained indefinitely, ideally.
MSY is extensively used for fisheries management. Unlike the logistic (Schaefer) model, MSY in most modern fisheries models occurs at around 30% of the unexploited population size. This fraction differs among populations depending on the life history of the species and the age-specific selectivity of the fishing method.
Unfortunately errors in estimating the population dynamics of a species can lead to setting the maximum sustainable yield too high (or too low). An example of this was the New Zealand Orange roughy fishery. Early quotas were based on an assumption that the orange roughy had a fairly short lifespan and bred relatively quickly. However, it was later discovered that the orange roughy lived a long time and had bred slowly (~30 years). By this stage stocks had been largely depleted.

With 37 new U.S. patents filed, 71 invention disclosures and $6.3 million in licensing revenue in 2007 alone, The University of Akron ranks first in the state of Ohio in return per research dollar spent. Akron's advantage lies in creative and talented faculty, staff and students, as well as a nationally recognized research foundation that facilitates licensing, collaboration and new venture creation through an open and easy process.

Areas of UA research expertise:
Current Research Projects
With over 100 U.S. patents to his credit, Dr. Joseph Kennedy has discovered yet another high performance isobutylene based polymer. He has more recently invented a polyisobutylene-based polyurethane composition which demonstrates superior oxidative resistance over any known biomaterial in the field.
|Inspired by the tiny foot hairs that allow geckos to run up walls and across ceilings, Dr. Ali Dhinojwala fixed aligned carbon nanotubes to flexible plastic to create a synthetic tape that can support four times more shear stress than a gecko's foot. Unlike typical adhesives, the gecko tape could be used underwater or in outer space.
|Dr. Wiley Youngs' diverse research activities cover metal-based antimicrobials and anti-cancer drugs, polymeric membranes for fuel cells and cage systems based on metal compounds. A new type of compound, known as silver N-heterocyclic carbene complexes or SCCs, has bacteria-fighting properties, effectively treating lung infections in an animal study.
|FirstEnergy made a $2 million pledge to UA to establish an Advanced Energy Research Center. The program will pioneer carbon capture and energy projects, including Dr. Steven Chuang's coal fuel cell, pictured at left, which is twice as efficient as coal burning power plants and easily captures carbon dioxide and harmful emissions.

First Clean Water Community Plans Released!
A major goal of the Healthy Harbor Plan is for each neighborhood in Baltimore to prepare a Clean Water Community Plan. These plans explain what each community is currently doing to improve water quality and help the community identify priority projects that they would like to undertake in the near future.
On Monday, October 22nd, 2012, the first four communities celebrated the completion of their Clean Water Community Plans by presenting their work to representatives from Baltimore City government, businesses, and nonprofits. Representatives were on hand from the neighborhoods of Sharp Leadenhall, Reservoir Hill, McElderry Park, and Greenmount West. Audience members were there to celebrate these neighborhoods, but also to listen and discuss ways they could contribute to priority projects highlighted in the Clean Water Community Plans (available below).
During one memorable exchange, Val Ukwuoma, bureau head for Baltimore City Department of Solid Waste, made a commitment to pick up trash weekly from newly installed corner trash cans, for which Greenmount West had secured funding, but were hesitant to install without knowing who would maintain them.
Deputy Chief Bob Maloney committed to hosting a CitiStat meeting in which neighborhood stakeholders would have the opportunity to discuss their concerns regarding illegal dumping and code enforcement with representatives from the City's Department of Public Works, Code Enforcement, and 311.
Flooding along Race Street, in the Sharp Leadenhall neighborhood, was a major concern for Betty Bland-Thomas of the South Baltimore Partnership. The street has been long closed due to sinkholes, and clogged storm drains cause rain water to backup into the basements of homes and businesses. During facilitated conversation, Bland-Thomas learned for the first time the true nature of the problem - aging stormwater infrastructure collapsing under the road - and Kim Burgess, Director of the division of Surface Water Management, pledged that the street would be repaired and reopened in 2013.
Overall themes from the neighborhood presentations included the need for more trees in expanded pits with a commitment for a prolonged tree maintenance program; easier access to trash bags and dumpster roll offs in support of community clean ups; and the need for more corner trash cans and improved code enforcement.
You can check out the newly completed Clean Water Community Plans along with the power point presentations given be each neighborhood right here!

Cosmetic dermatology includes a variety of treatments that will make you feel and look younger. All Botox, Dysport and dermal filler injections are performed by one of our board certified dermatologists or our experienced registered nurse.
Botox and Dysport
At Dermatological Association Of Texas, we believe in Botox® and Dysport. Both, Botox and Dysport work in several different areas on the face such as: Frown Lines, Forehead Lines, Eye Brow Lift, and Crow's Feet. Botox and Dysport are injected into the muscle in these areas and works by weakening the muscle, which in turn lessens the lines of facial expression. The results last 2-4 months and there is little to no down time. We can give you a natural, relaxed look, and you will still have your freedom of expression.
Dermal Fillers
JUVÉDERM® Injectable Gel is a smooth gel filler that instantly smoothes out wrinkles and facial folds. We offer Ultra Plus XC JUVÉDERM®. It typically last 9-12 months and causes very little swelling or bruising. Results aren't just instant, but they're also smooth and natural, everyone will notice but no one will know. Juvederm Ultra Plus XC is used for volumizing and correcting deeper folds and wrinkes such as the lines along the sides of your nose and mouth. Typically this product is used to add volume to the lips and help to fill hollow areas under the eyes.
JUVÉDERM VOLUMA™ XC injectable gel is the first and only filler FDA-approved to instantly add volume to the cheek area. It gives you a subtle lift, helping to restore contour and a more youthful profile, for up to 2 years, in patients over the age of 21. It's different than JUVÉDERM® XC and works on a different area of the face. JUVÉDERM® XC smoothes out moderate to severe wrinkles and folds around the nose and mouth, like parentheses. JUVÉDERM VOLUMA™ XC, however, adds volume to the cheek area.
Radiesse® is a safe cosmetic dermal filler that lasts longer than some other fillers. It aids in the correction of facial lines and wrinkles, restoring a natural, youthful look in an easy, convenient treatment. Injections are used to correct deeper folds and wrinkles such as those along laugh lines and around the mouth.
Restylane® Silk is the first and only FDA-approved product specifically designed for subtle lip enhancement and the smoothing of wrinkles and lines around the mouth in patients 21 years of age and older.
Chemical Peels
Chemical Peels are an ideal way to improve the overall quality of your skin with little or no down time. Chemical Peels are topically applied and aid in the restoration and rejuvenation of the skins surface. They create a uniform and controlled shedding of the top layers of the skin. Chemical Peels can reduce blotchy, uneven pigmentation, fine lines and wrinkles, age spots, sun damage, superficial acne scarring and acne. Meet with our Medical Esthetician to determine which chemical peel is best for your skin type and needs.
Clear and Brilliant
Clear + Brilliant is a gentle laser treatments that helps prevent the visible signs of aging and the overall dulling effects time and the environment can have on your skin.One 10 to 20-minute Clear + Brilliant session* can leave your skin feeling smoother, younger and give you that "radiant glow" that comes from healthy, youthful skin. Routine treatments deliver lasting results that can keep you looking younger for years to come.Clear + Brilliant is simple yet effective. An easy treatment to add to your routine, much like the way you plan for a facial or trip to the hair salon.
The CoolSculpting® procedure is the only, non-invasive procedure that uses advanced cooling technology to gently and effectively target and eliminate fat in specific areas of a patient's body through a proprietary technology called Cryolipolysis. This technology selectively targets fat bulges and eliminates fat cells through a gradual process that does not harm the surrounding tissues. The CoolSculpting Procedure can reduce unwanted fat and bulges in the flank (love handles) and abdomen. Unlike traditional invasive surgical procedures, the CoolSculpting Procedure is non-invasive with no needles and no need for surgical incisions. With little to no downtime, patients can typically resume normal activities on the same day as the procedure, making it a good choice for patients seeking a non-surgical alternative to liposuction.
Dermapen is a fractional micro-needling device that reduces fine lines and wrinkles, tightens and lifts skin, treats acne scars and stretch marks. The automated needling motion minimizes pain and discomfort resulting in little to no downtime. Dermapen offers great results, it is easy to use and is safer than other leading alternatives, at a fraction of the cost.
Dermaplaning is a procedure where the skin superficial cellular layers of the skin and unwanted facial hair on the face is removed with a blade. This treatment results in super smooth skin. A change in the skin texture can be felt right away.
Hair Reduction
The Intense Pulse Light (IPL) machine uses a new technology that removes unwanted hair up to 10 times faster than other lasers. The light system works by emitting pulses of intense lamplight into the hair follicles. The light is absorbed by the pigment in the follicales and converted to heat. The heat then loosens the hair and disables the cells responsible for growing new hair. All areas of the body can be treated except around the eyes. Three to six treatments are necessary to reduce unwanted hair.
The Hydra Facial resurfacing procedure provides exfoliation, extraction and hydration while infusing antioxidants, peptides, and Hyaluronic Acid. This non-invasive, non-irritating, non-surgical procedure delivers instant results with no discomfort or downtime.
Intense Pulse Light (IPL) Photofacial
We all want clear skin, but nature has a way of sabotaging us with frustrating imperfections, especially as we age and sun damage accumulates. Fortunately, skin rejuvenation has advanced beyond the painful procedures of the past. The Intense Pulse Light (IPL) process offers comfortable and effective Photofacials for the treatment of sun damage and visible veins. The IPL provides the most skin-safe, comfortable, and effective Photofacials available, without any downtime. IPL appointments are quick and you can return to work and other activities- looking and feeling fine!
LATISSE® solution is a prescription treatment for hypotrichosis used to grow eyelashes, making them longer, thicker and darker. Eyelash hypotrichosis is another name for having inadequate or not enough eyelashes. LATISSE® is believed to affect the growth phase of the eyelash hair cycle in 2 ways: first, it increases the length of this phase; and second, it increases the number of hairs in the growth phase. Results are usually gradual. Users do see significant improvement in 6-8 weeks. Latisse™ is the only FDA approved prescription for hypotrichosis used to grow eyelashes. It has also been studied in clinical trials to demonstrate safety and effectiveness.
Leg Vein Treatments
We offer sclerotherapy treatments with injectable hypertonic saline to treat leg veins, typically 3-6 treatments are needed to achieve optimal results. Patients are encouraged to wear compression stockings after each session as this aids in the treatment success. We also offer LASER leg vein treatment for superficial blood vessels. Our Registered Nurse or Dermatologist will be able to assess your veins to determine which treatment is right for you.
Microdermabrasion is a gentle resurfacing procedure using a diamond tipped device called the Diamond Tome® . This mechanical exfoliation involves gentle suction with a diamond tipped wand to remove the uppermost layer of dead skin cells from the skin surface. This technique has been remarkably effective in removing excess oil, blackheads and bacteria in acne patients by essentially "vacuuming up" dead skin cells, bacteria, blackheads and skin surface oils. Superficial pigmentation problems can also be improved, as can fine lines, wrinkles and irregular skin texture. For best results, it is recommended you get a series of treatments and use in conjunction with anti-aging skin care products.
Non-Ablative Skin Rejuvenation
The Non-Ablative Skin Rejuvenation treatment is a non-invasive fractional treatment that stimulates collagen production helping to rejuvenate, plump and tighten the skin. You will see a reduction in fine lines, wrinkles, large pores, acne scars & pigmentation. With little to no downtime, visible results are seen within 1-2 weeks after each treatment. Typically 3-6 treatments are recommended to achieve optimal results. Treatments are performed 3-4 weeks apart. Immediately following the procedure you may experience mild redness which typically subsides within a few hours. You may return to your normal activities immediately following the procedure. Areas such as the face, neck and chest can be treated with this procedure as well as other areas on the body.
Stretch Mark Treatment
Stretch marks are an unfortunate fact of life for many women. Anytime the skin has been stretched too far or too fast – such as in puberty, pregnancy or weight loss – these unsightly lines appear. We are pleased to offer the only FDA approved treatment to help reduce the appearance of stretch marks. Fractional laser stretch mark treatment is a non-invasive laser that stimulates collagen production, which reduces the appearance of the stretch marks. Any area of the body can be treated with the fractional laser. There is no downtime and is pain free. You may return to work or your regular activities immediately following this procedure. Typically, a series of treatments are preformed and you will see visible results in as little as 1-2 treatments.
Surgery & Trauma Scar Treatment
Treating scars is easier than you think. Why go through the expense and hassle of hiding your scars with makeup and clothing when you can reduce them with laser scar treatment that's fast and easy. Laser scar treatment is a non-invasive laser procedure that remodels scar tissue resulting in visible improvement in the scar. Laser scar treatment is a comfortable procedure with virtually no downtime allowing you to return to your normal activities immediately following the procedure. Typically this procedure can take anywhere from 3-5 treatment sessions; however, results may vary from patient to patient. This procedure can be performed on any area of the body and on any skin type.
Ultherapy is a new type of non-surgical, non-invasive procedure that uses ultrasound and the body's own natural healing process to lift, tone, and tighten loose skin on the brow, neck, and under the chin.
The only FDA-cleared procedure to lift skin on these hard-to-treat areas, Ultherapy uses the safe, time-tested energy of ultrasound to stimulate the deep structural support layers of the skin—including those typically addressed in a surgical facelift—without disturbing the surface of the skin.
The effect of focused ultrasound energy on the growth of new collagen over time.
Now there's a way to stand firm in the face of gravity—on your terms. With Ultherapy, there's no downtime, no foreign substances, no radical change; just a healthy revving-up on the inside for a natural, noticeable effect on the outside.
With Ultherapy, you can go about your day after a single, 60-90 minute in-office procedure. You may notice a short-term "boost" but the natural process of creating new, more elastic, collagen builds over time—much like the effect that exercise has on building muscle (but without the multiple workouts!).
Results will unfold over the course of 2-3 months and some patients have reported continued improvement for up to 6 months, including lifting and tightening of the skin on the neck, under the chin, along the jawline, and on the brow. While ultrasound does not duplicate the results of surgery, Ultherapy has proven to be an inviting alternative for those who are not yet ready for surgery.

As expected, Apple CEO Tim Cook granted an interview at D11, this year's D: All Things Digital conference hosted by Walt Mossberg and Kara Swisher. The interview was decidedly wide-ranging, and one of the talking points touched upon was Apple's popular mobile operating system, iOS.
According to Cook, the new version of iOS, unofficially dubbed iOS 7, is set to be unveiled at next month's WWDC. He also confirmed that Jony Ive is indeed working on it and said that the well-known Apple design guru has been "really key" to the upcoming software update.
It's worth noting that iOS 7 is the first major iOS update not developed under former Apple iOS Software chief Scott Forstall, who was fired last October. Following Forstall's ouster, Craig Federighi became the new head of iOS software engineering, while Ive assumed leadership of Apple's Human Interface team.
As noted by The Verge, Cook described Ive in his D11 interview as "absolutely incredible," and said that Apple "recognized that Jony had contributed significantly to the look and feel of Apple over many, many years and could do that for our software as well."
Ive has been recently rumored to be shunning skeuomorphs, which Forstall famously favored, and introducing a "flat" design to iOS 7.
Unsurprisingly, Cook didn't provide any details regarding the update, calling instead on users to "be the judge" as to its merits and features once it's showcased at Apple's developer conference next month.
In a closely related latter part of the interview, Cook said that it would be allowing third parties, in addition to Facebook and Twitter, to provide more integrated features on iOS. A couple of these third parties may very well be Flickr and Vimeo, whose "deeply" integrated versions with iOS are rumored to be under evaluation by Apple.

Dr. Nixon: Diversity in Practice Video
Root Index Taping I
Time stamp seen on video:
- Start 54.36:00
- End: 58.13:16
Total running time: 3 minutes 49 seconds
In this video segment Dr. Nixon presents her concepts of Diversity as a meaningful contributor to the quality of lives in our communities. She explains why her teaching style and emphasis promotes the need for meaningful dialogues that engage Diversity. She denounces the popular idea of Tolerance as being a one-way monolog that keeps people separated and out of true community. The types of relationships she speaks about in this segment are typically, but not exclusively, those relationships that are between.
- The client and their selves
- The clients and each other
- The therapist and the clients
- The clients and therapist with the presenting problem
- The clients and therapist with issues of diversity; specifically the relationship existing between the differences presented
Root Index Taping II
Time stamp seen on video:
- Start: 01:54.23:00
- End: 01:56.03:07
Total running time: 1 minute 39 seconds
In this video segment Dr. Nixon discusses how in her class she trains students on how to have difficult conversations by saying "let's talk about the things we don't talk about because the things we don't talk about get in the way." She also briefly discusses a Genogram on how students do these as a practice in class and learn more about their family dynamics that they are trained not to talk about. This tool is effective in helping students to be able to present with their biases when engaging clients without letting their biases influence how they react towards their client's point of view.
Root Index Taping III
Time stamp on video:
- Start: 01:56.41:00
- End: 01:58.27:23
Total running time: 1 minute 47 seconds
In this video segment Dr. Nixon is asked the following question by a student:
"In the therapy room, what do you do when you have a client that is different than you and they perceive that they want a therapist as they are, you know, different, and I think the most obvious on would be color. What do you do and how do you proceed with that?"

The Ocean (Led Zeppelin song)
|"The Ocean"
|Song by Led Zeppelin from the album Houses of the Holy
|28 March 1973
|Hard rock[1]
|Jimmy Page
|Houses of the Holy track listing
"The Ocean" is a song by English rock band Led Zeppelin, from their 1973 album Houses of the Holy. "The Ocean" refers to the sea of fans seen from the stage at Led Zeppelin concerts, to whom this song was dedicated.[2]
The intro and chorus (the main riff) of this song are done in an alternating 4/4 and 7/8 beat, and the song is in a 4/4 beat in the verses and the latter part of the song. The voice on the intro is drummer John Bonham. When he says, "We've done four already but now we're steady, and then they went 1, 2, 3, 4!" he is referring to the takes. They had tried to record it four times prior but could not get it right, prompting the chant.
At approximately 1:37–1:38 into the song and again at around 1:41, a telephone can be faintly heard ringing in the background. Some speculate that this was intentional — the sheet music (printed after the fact) that accompanies the CD box set has the word "ring" printed twice above the percussion tab of this song. Others are of the opinion that while Led Zeppelin recorded the song a ringing phone was accidentally captured in the mix. Eddie Kramer, who was present during the recording of Houses of the Holy, states of the phone ringing, "It's entirely possible. [The song was] done in a house." He also states, "I don't remember there being [a phone ringing]." implying that it was an accident.[3] There is also a noise heard about 1:59 which sounds like someone pronouncing "c" as in "catch". This occurs again at about 2:12.
In the last line, the "Girl who won my heart" is a reference to Robert Plant's daughter Carmen, (born 21 November 1968), who was three years old at the time of recording. In concert, Plant always updated the lyric to reflect her current age, as captured on the Led Zeppelin DVD which features the band's performance of the song at Madison Square Garden in 1973. During this performance, Plant sang the third verse, which starts with "Sitting round singing songs 'til the night turns into day" as the second verse and sang the second verse at the end of the song. The band first played this song live on their 1972 U.S. concert tour and it remained as part of their live performances until their 1973 U.S. tour. It was deleted from their set list thereafter.[2]
The song unwinds to a coda consisting of a guitar solo and a doo-wop homage featuring backing vocals from John Paul Jones and John Bonham. During the last minute or so of the song, Plant can softly be heard singing something along the lines of "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, yeah!" (Or "I'm so, I'm so, I'm so glad!")

For those who preferred not to photograph their deceased loved one, a nice alternative was to photograph the beautiful floral arrangements that were sent by friends and relatives. As I've collected these images over the years, I've noticed a couple of distinct styles of the funeral flowers photograph. In today's post, I'm featuring photographs that appear to be made in the studio and which, with one exception, feature a cabinet card photograph of the deceased within the funeral flowers display. In future posts, I'll feature funeral flowers photographs of what I call "home memorial shrines" which can be wonderfully elaborate.
This great cabinet card was made by Gustav Dahms of Davenport, Iowa. It looks like the funeral arrangements, which include common Christian symbols such as the anchor and cross, were hung on the wall. The card also bears a highly decorated backstamp which is most interesting.
This is a beautifully preserved image of the tributes for Ida, done by McDowell of Nelsonville, Ohio. Ida's name can be seen on the pillow-shaped arrangement in the center, just below her photograph. Again, the cross, and some wonderful glass vases.
This artistic image, also by McDowell of Nelsonville, Ohio, is striking in its simplicity and unusual composition. The cabinet photo of a young lady is tucked away within the anchor, symbolizing the assurance that she awaits safely in heaven. This card also has a wonderful backstamp with a design that is copyrighted 1889.
The last card is by McDonnell of Erie, Pennsylvania. It shows many floral tributes with the sender's cards attached and a cabinet photo of a young man within the "C" shaped arrangement at top that says "Brother". I assume "C" was the first initial of the deceased.
Regrettably, none of the images are identified on the back with names or dates. Each is a standard size cabinet card measuring 6 ½ by 4 ¼ inches on heavy stock.

text: The novel A Clockwork Orange by Anthony Burgess and the movie adaptation have wide-ranging influences on popular culture, such as popular music, television, movies and other entertainment media. Some of the influences are based on themes central to the story, such as the use of Nadsat words or phrases, whilst others have incorporated visual elements from the film. The film A Clockwork Orange made Kubrick one of the most influential artists of the twentieth century, and the film is today a cult classic that is frequently referenced in popular culture.
