This old cliché reminds us that our diet impacts our body-inside & out- in a major way.
Every part of us is made from nutrients, the building blocks in our foods, including: the brain, heart, skin, blood, eyes, muscles and all other body parts.
Our food also impacts how our body functions, our energy level, mood, sleep, digestion, metabolism, immune system, hormones, just to name a few.
Ask yourself if you want to look like a giant, greasy cheeseburger or a long, lean fillet of fish?
Do you want to get your energy from nutrient-empty soda or from fresh fruits that also provide vitamins, minerals, fiber & disease-fighting plant chemicals?
Every meal or snack gives us the opportunity to make smart choices in what we put in our bodies.
Your choices can change how you feel, look and your health now and far into the future. Perfection is not the goal.
Don't worry about your taste buds; those little taste sensors on your tongue. They like what they are used to tasting.
When you change your menu, they complain at first, and then they adjust & even like the new tastes.
Some healthy choices to make you look & feel better and help you stay well:
• Eat 3-5 cups of vegetables or fruit daily. Go for color & variety. Avoid added sugar and salt. Buy what is in season or on sale.
• Switch from white to whole grain starches, such as brown rice, whole wheat bread, oats, shredded wheat, bran flakes, and whole wheat pasta.
• Choose lean turkey, chicken & fish most often. Chose only very lean cuts of beef, 90% fat-free hamburger, pork loin. Bake, broil, roast or grill. Include fish twice a week or more, including canned tuna, salmon or sardines. Avoid processed meats, such as bacon, ham, bologna or corned beef.
• Choose low fat or fat-free dairy foods.
• Avoid sugared drinks & foods. Drink water, hot or iced green or black teas, coffee, sugar-free drinks, fat-free milk or low salt tomato juice. Snack on unsalted nuts, popcorn, fruit, light yogurt or whole grain cereal.
• Choose fats that are liquid or very soft at room temperature, such as canola, olive or peanut oils & peanuts butter. Avoid fats that are hard at room temperature, such as stick margarine, butter and shortening.
• Kick the salt habit. Season with herbs, vinegar, Mrs. Dash marinades & herb mixes, salt substitutes, hot sauce or garlic. Label goals are zero milligrams (mg) of sodium per serving in seasonings and 200 mg per serving in most other foods.
You have the power to choose what you are made of and how your body parts work to keep you looking and feeling your best. Every opportunity you get to eat is an opportunity to build a better you.
And remember, the next time you see a vegetable, JUMP ON IT!

Hey there, Bratzies! Cloe here, and if you're like me, you need a SERIOUS purse to hold all your makeup, your cell phone, journal, and anything else that could solve any possible issues at school, the mall, or even a dance! This Fall, the best bag there is to handle…well, EVERYTHING…is the stylin' satchel bag.
Somewhere between a clutch and a shoulder bag, the satchel was made to be carried low by the handles, or worn high close to the body and around the shoulder. These bags are seriously roomy. I can fit my whole life in one of these, and thanks to its rounder shape, it doesn't look bulky or clunky.
Plus, since it's designed to be carried or worn close at hand, it'll take less time to grab your cell phone out of it to put in a cute boy's number!
Try coordinating the color of your satchel with the primary color of your accessories, such as your belt, shoes, or scarves – it'll enhance those small doses of shade on your body and really make them POP! What would YOU put in your satchel before leaving the house?
Catch You Brazies Later!

Men's Basketball Grabbed Two of The Top Honors in the AMCC
- Release Date:

- The Office of Sports Information

2012-13 AMCC Men's Basketball All Conference Teams
PITTSBURGH, PA – The Allegheny Mountain Collegiate Conference released the 2012-13 All-Conference selections for men's basketball February 26th. Head coach Rob deGrandpre was honored as the Coach of the Year in addition to two seniors and a rookie grabbing spots on the All-Conference teams. Senior Dan McFarland (Lancaster, NY/St. Mary's) is a repeat 1st Teamer and is joined by fellow senior, Anthony Hodge (Brooklyn, NY/Telecommunication Arts & Technology) on the 1st Team. Jerame Owens (Rochester, NY/Spencerport) earned the Co-Newcomer of the Year award as well as a slot on the 3rd Team All-Conference.
deGrandpre earned his first Coach of the Year Award after 11 seasons at Hilbert. The 2012-13 Hawks earned the program's first 20-win season and the program's first ever number one seed in the AMCC tournament. This marked the fifth season that deGrandpre led his Hawks to the Championship weekend, having earned the #4 seed each previous year.
McFarland helped carry the Hawks to the 20-6 season with his all-around stellar play. The 6'2 southpaw finished his senior year ranked in the Top 10 in nine of the AMCC basketball statistical categories. He averaged 14 points (#7) and 6.6 rebounds (#7) along with 3.3 assists (#4) and 1.5 steals (#8) in the 32.7 minutes of court time. Even though he was a guard, McFarland wasn't afraid to mix it up on the boards, averaging 2.5 offensive rebounds a game (4th in the league). He also claimed the number two ranking with a 1.7 assist to turnover ratio and shot 46.6% from the field and 74.1 from the foul line. McFarland led the Hawks in scoring six times while grabbing game-high rebounding honors seven times. This marks the third time McFarland has been named to an AMCC All-Conference team (2011-12 on 1st team; 2010-11 on 2nd Team).
Hodge, competing in his first full-season as a Hawk, turned heads all year. His quickness and tenacity drove opponents crazy as his jumping ability allowed him to elevate over defenders for good looks at the rim. Hodge and McFarland were the only players in the AMCC to rank in the Top 10 in both scoring and assists per game. Hodge averaged 16.7 points which was third highest in the league and his 2.8 assists per game placed him in the 10th spot in the league. He finished with .405 field goal percentage and was ranked 10th with .729 free throw percentage. At 5'8, he led the Hawks in scoring 15 times but it was his quick hands and feet that gained him recognition as he lead the conference with 2.5 steals per game in the 30.7 minutes he was on the floor.
It didn't take Owens long to figure out that he could hold his own in the paint for Hilbert even as a freshman. By early January, he was averaging 30-minutes a game and was inserted into the starting line-up one week later. The 6'7 rookie finished the season ranked #2 in rebounding (8.9) and #3 in blocks (1.6) as well as #7 in field goal percentage (.525), #14 in steals (1.4), and # 16 in scoring (11.4 points) in the league. Owens collected 10 double-doubles his first year, most of them occurring late in the season when the Hawks needed his quiet but dominating presence in the paint. He had a nice touch around the hoop finishing with a .525 field goal percentage and his most impressive shooting game was against Medaille College in the AMCC semi-final game when he was 7 of 11 (.636) from the floor. Owens becomes the second Hilbert player to be awarded the Newcomer plaque. Current Hilbert guard, CJ Hodge, received that recognition at the conclusion of the 2010-11 season.
Hilbert finished the year with a 14-4 AMCC record and hosted the league tournament as the number one seeded team. This marked the Hawks third year in a row advancing to the AMCC final four tourney. Hilbert dropped a heart-breaking 72-69 loss in the semi-finals and collected their regular season co-champs plaque after Penn State Behrend defeated Medaille College for the conference's automatic bid to the NCAA tournament.
Headlining the 1st, 2nd and 3rd Team All-Conference was Russ Conley (Penn State Behrend) who repeated as Player of the Year. The Defensive Player of the Year award was given to Matt Gehret (Penn State Altoona). And sharing the Co-Newcomer of the Year award with Owens was Rocco Constristanto (Pitt-Greensburg).
Hilbert College, located in suburban Hamburg, N.Y., south of Buffalo, is a private four-year college founded in 1957 in the Catholic Franciscan tradition. With nearly 1,100 students, Hilbert is a dynamic Western New York college that offers career-focused majors, including one of the top criminal justice programs in the region, and more than 50 minors and concentrations. The college's engaging, student-centered campus community offers numerous leadership, internship, and service learning opportunities from which students launch successful careers while making positive changes in their communities. The Hilbert Blueprint promotes a well-rounded student experience over four years – starting with the Foundations Seminar in the freshman year, followed by Sophomore Service, Junior Symposium, and culminating with the Senior Capstone. Hilbert has expanded its academic offerings with the college's first graduate programs and new Accelerated Degree Programs geared to adult learners.

ViSwiss for men suffering from Diabetes:
Men with diabetes tend to develop erectile dysfunction 10 to 15 years earlier than men without diabetes. As men with diabetes age, erectile dysfunction becomes even more common. Above the age of 50, the likelihood of having difficulties with an erection occurs in approximately 50-60% of men with diabetes. Above age 70, there is about a 95% likelihood of having some difficulty with erectile function.
Why Do Men With Diabetes Have Erectile Dysfunction?
The causes of erectile dysfunction in men with diabetes are complex and involve impairments in nerve, blood vessel and muscle function.
To get an erection, men need healthy blood vessels, nerves, male hormones, and a desire to be sexually stimulated. Diabetes can damage the blood vessels and nerves that control erection. Therefore, even if you have normal amounts of male hormones and you have the desire to have sex, you still may not be able to achieve a firm erection.
How does ViSwiss help Men With Diabetes and Erectile Dysfunction?
ViSwiss' ingredients have been shown to increase stamina, sexual desire and your overall sexual energy, which help restore healthy and steady blood flow to cause a firm erection even for men suffering from diabetes. To learn more click here.

I enjoy using the ViSwiss product and I think I will order bottles every time I get close to running out because my love life and sex life has completely turned around and I feel a lot better. My doctor says that it is all natural and it is good for me to use and it has been. And I'd like to just let everyone know out there that this is a great product, the ViSwiss product, to use for men, especially us men that had a heart attack or getting older in age. This product really, really works and it works well. Thank you."*

ViSwiss Is A Much More Practical Way To Have A Healthy Sex Life!
Another problem with prescription pills is that they are a hassle. You have to take them at least an hour before you want to have sex, and you can't eat or drink anything during that period. You have to make sure you have them on you at all times, in case your partner gets in the mood. You can't have a glass of wine while you are getting romantic.
But, ViSwiss is different. Because our ingredients work naturally with your body, you don't have to take them right before you want to make love.
Instead you take ViSwiss every day, and our ingredients make you always ready to perform sexually. All you have to do is take two pills a day - one in the morning and one at night - and you will be constantly helping your body with sexual dysfunction.
"Hi, my name is Whakim. Man, and I recommend ViSwiss to any man that's trying to get their UGH back into his bedroom lifestyle. Man, that stuff really works."*
Take a look at some of the ViSwiss advantages:
- Clinically proven ingredients
- Non-prescription
- No side effects
- Inexpensive
- Convenient
- Reliable
- Used by real people for real results

UFC's Jeremy Stephens' bail set at $100,000, faces extradition to Iowa - Bloody Elbow
MMA Fighting is reporting that UFC Lightweight Jeremy Stephens, in a Minnesota jail since his arrest early Friday morning, has had his bail set at $100,000 and he faces a possible extradition to Iowa. According to UFC president Dana White and Stephens' management, Evolution Agents, the fighter is wanted in Iowa in relation to a 2011 incident at a party in Polk County.
Evolution Agents released a statement yesterday claiming that Stephens was present at a party at which a "physical altercation" took place and asserting that Stephens "had never been arrested in connection with the assault, contacted about any possible charge and or notified about any outstanding warrant by mail or any other means."
UFC president Dana White worked throughout the day of UFC on FX 5: Browne vs. Bigfoot and on into the event trying to secure Stephens' release so he could face Yves Edwards in a scheduled bout but was unable to make it happen.

Gabrielle Douglas Recalls Being Told To Get A Nose Job & Memories Of Her Father In Vanity Fair
Gabrielle Douglas and her beautiful family (which includes her mom Natalie Hawkins, brother Johnathan, and two sisters Arielle and Joyelle Douglas) are all smiles as they pose for the upcoming issue of Vanity Fair.
Inside, Gabby dishes to the magazine about a time she was told by a member of her old Virginia Beach gym to consider a nose job as the staff member felt Gabby's nose was way too flat. She also discusses her dad and why she would prefer that he is not in her life at this time and what she plans to do with her big checks.
Read a few excerpts below:
On Gabby's father, Timothy Douglas
Natalie has been separated from Timothy Douglas, the father of Gabby and two of her siblings—sister Joyelle and brother Johnathan—since 2006. (Married twice, the couple is now in the process of divorcing.) According to Natalie and all four children, his financial and emotional support of the family has been negligible at best. "He was never really there," says Gabby, though she recalls him taking her fishing a few times. When he appeared unexpectedly at the Olympic trials in San Jose, California, in July, Gabby felt he was trying to gain a piece of her "fame and fortune." She remembers thinking, "We know what you're trying to pull. It's too late to hop on the bus." Timothy also turned up at the Olympics but could not get a ticket to any of Gabby's events, and Gabby never saw him. As for Natalie, two days before she left for London, she says, she went to court to challenge his lack of child-support payments, and the judge ordered the amount raised to $500 per month.
When I tried to contact Timothy Douglas at his home, in Chesapeake, Virginia, to learn his version of events, he refused to come to the phone. Douglas told the Daily Mail in London that he had had a role in Gabby's life to the degree that he could, given his military obligations as a staff sergeant in the Air National Guard and what he described as prolonged deployments. It was in London, right before she competed in the gymnastics individual events—she came in last on the uneven bars and next to last on the balance beam—that Gabby learned that her father had been arrested the previous March, according to the Daily Mail, for contributing to the delinquency of a minor. (The juvenile court records are sealed.)
On being bullied at her former gym
One day in 2010, in a rush to get to the gym, she left her clothing by her locker; when she returned, her shirt was missing. "You don't actually take by mistake someone's clothes," Gabby tells me. And when it was apparent that she had no shirt to leave the locker room in, other gymnasts started laughing at her. Another day, a gymnast whose turn it was to scrape the uneven bars of excess chalk tried to duck the job. According to Gabby, the girl said, "Why doesn't Gabby do it? She's our slave." The gymnast was laughing, but Gabby did not see the humor.
Even more painful was an incident several years ago at a party where Gabby says an Excalibur staff member told her she might want to consider reconstructive surgery on her nose because of its flatness. Some other gymnasts had teased Gabby about her appearance, and she found the nose comment "very hurtful."
Gabby never felt quite in sync with her coaches, and according to her sister Arielle, she eventually began to lose confidence in herself, particularly after the nose-job comment.
Meanwhile it looks as though Gabby's former gym, Excalibur, is considering a lawsuit. And not because Gabrielle has been throwing them under the bus. Her former gym is claiming that they fronted at least $20,000 for her tuition and fees to train with the agreement that she would pay them back if she made the Olympics, however, she left with no warning. Her mother, meanwhile, is saying that the money was a scholarship.
When her former coach was asked for a response to Gabby's claims of racism and bullying, she said that they were never reported and Gabby had a bad attitude because she expected things to come faster than they would.
We did with Gabby far beyond what are our coaches' duties. We are proud of what we did. How is it possible . . . to not recognize that she reached [her] level with our help, our economic support, our passion and our love?
The battle between Gabby's family and her former gym could definitely get ugly… It's good to see she's keeping her head up.

He explained on a recent appearance on "The MMA Hour:"
"It depends. People forget we're prize fighters so that means we got to earn money to provide for our family, loved ones and for ourselves with everything that we need. So, of course it's also about the money. So, it all depends on what kind of offer. I know the UFC is exclusive so it's going to be only UFC for me, so, if the money is right, why not?"

Others focused their attention on epistemology (the science of knowing). Still others stressed in their investigation the basic principles and elements of ethics (the study of the good and the right). And others focused on the ultimate foundations for aesthetics (the study of the beautiful). One philosopher stood out as being deeply involved in the study of all of these matters as well as others.

Recreating the Tower of Babel
from R.C. Sproul Jul 05, 2009 Category: ArticlesThere are church buildings that are designed to give no hint of the building's true purpose as a house of worship. They're built to look more like town meeting halls. The chancel is no longer called the chancel, it's called the stage. The pulpit is not called a pulpit, it's called a lectern, and the congregation isn't called a congregation, but it's called an audience. Part of this is a desire to break through the old traditions that people have become inoculated against and no longer want any part of. In at least some cases, it is due to an abiding antipathy to beauty in worship, based on a desire to avoid an empty form of worship that is merely external. The church wants to exhibit that worship comes from the heart, not from external stimuli. Keep Reading

The minister then gave a closing prayer, but as he prayed he walked along the bench and touched each person on the head very gently. I thought, "This is remarkable. This is a recovery, in a sense, of the ancient tradition of having a physical touch that is a part of the worship service." Keep Reading

Yet within the context of the earthly military, there are a vast number of jobs, some for which we would be suited and others for which we would not.

The Meaning of Man's Will (pt. 3)
from R.C. Sproul Jun 19, 2009 Category: ArticlesBut what about man's will with respect to the sovereignty of God? Perhaps the oldest dilemma of the Christian faith is the apparent contradiction between the sovereignty of God and the freedom of man. If we define human freedom as autonomy (meaning that man is free to do whatever he pleases, without constraint, without accountability to the will of God), then of course we must say that free will is contradictory to divine sovereignty. We cannot soft-pedal this dilemma by calling it a mystery; we must face up to the full import of the concept. If free will means autonomy, then God cannot be sovereign. If man is utterly and completely free to do as he pleases, there can be no sovereign God. And if God is utterly sovereign to do as he pleases, no creature can be autonomous. Keep Reading

Tapping Green Infrastructure to Curb Sewer Overflows
Utilizing EPA research and guidance, Cleveland and Cincinnati plan to reduce sewage overflows with the help of sustainable, green practices.
Imagine running your shower for three thousand years or filling a swimming pool twice the size of Massachusetts. This is the rough equivalent of five billion gallons of water. The sewers of Cleveland, OH dump nearly five billion gallons of untreated sewage into Lake Erie every year. Even more impressive: the sewers of another Ohio city, Cincinnati, discharge 14 billion gallons of wastewater annually into the urban stream Mill Creek.
Like many cities across the country, Cleveland and Cincinnati suffer from aging wastewater systems that cannot properly handle the large amount of stormwater runoff that occurs during severe downpours. These cities have what is called a combined sewer system where sewage and stormwater merge into one series of pipes.
During heavy rainstorms, so much water runs off of common urban surfaces such as pavement and roofs that the system overflows. Combined sewer overflows (CSOs) discharge raw sewage and untreated runoff straight into nearby lakes and rivers, polluting valuable water resources and threatening public health and the environment.
Both Cleveland and Cincinnati have recently negotiated federal consent decrees (legally binding agreements between city, state, and federal agencies) that set CSO pollution reduction goals. The goals are ambitious, but both cities are up for the challenge, formulating plans for new installations and upgrades to existing sewer systems.
With support from EPA, these cities also plan to implement more environmentally-friendly and sustainable stormwater management projects, commonly referred to as green infrastructure.
"In the context of stormwater management, green infrastructure represents a set of practices that can rely on plants and soils to infiltrate, store, and transpire rainfall and excess runoff, or practices that catch rain before it turns into runoff," explains Dr. Bill Shuster, a research hydrologist at EPA.
Examples of green infrastructure include cisterns, green roofs, permeable pavement, wetland-like retention basins, and rain gardens. The goal of green infrastructure is to retain or redirect excess water runoff into the ground where plants and soil will naturally detain and filter the water—and keep it out of the sewers.
Following EPA's guidance and research, Cincinnati and Cleveland are on the leading edge of green infrastructure implementation.
Cleveland Turns Vacancies into Economic, Social, Environmental Assets
Based on technical guidance from EPA experts, part of Cleveland's consent decree calls for an innovative green infrastructure pilot program estimated to remove 44 million gallons of stormwater from the Northeast Ohio Regional Sewer District's (NEORSD's) combined sewer system. This green infrastructure program is intended not only to reduce stormwater runoff, but also to turn urban eyesores into community assets.
"Back in June of 2009 I was in a meeting with the sewer district and other departments within Cleveland," recalls Shuster, who is technical advisor to the federal consent decree enforcement team for Cleveland. "It occurred to me that we have this surfeit of vacant land, and that this land could be used to sop up the excess stormwater runoff volume that otherwise goes into these combined systems and causes overflows."
The transformation of urban vacant lots into park-like gardens that catch stormwater runoff would not only help remedy the CSO problem, but also improve the social and economic fabric of neighborhoods historically lacking green space.
Shuster, along with regional EPA employees Brooke Furio and Bob Newport, became known as "The Green Team." Working closely with NEORSD, the Green Team used their research and knowledge to help formulate a plan for turning vacant land into green infrastructure systems.
Urban Soil Assessment
Before Cleveland's vacant lots could be converted to green, water-absorbing areas, researchers began an extensive survey of vacant lot soils to determine which soils would best retain stormwater runoff.
Led by EPA's Dr. Bill Shuster, researchers noted physical characteristics of soil core samples, measured nutrient composition and surveyed the natural vegetation of vacant lots.
These measurements help identify how excess stormwater will (or will not) move through surface and deeper soils.
Since little is known about urban soils, the results from this research will give guidance on where to locate green infrastructure so it can be most effective at taking in stormwater runoff.
This type of guidance should be of particular value to urban planners, land managers, and sewer districts.
"We were able to come in and put together what we know about vacant land, what we know about stormwater and wastewater, what we know about enforcement, and what we know about the cities that have to mediate and handle these enforcement orders and put together this project," explains Shuster.
In theory, many vacant lots, especially those in low income residential areas, will help to revitalize their neighborhoods once concrete and debris are removed and ponds, gardens, or other green systems are built in their place. This first-of-its-kind green project will also further EPA's work to advance environmental justice.
"We believe that it's a good way of comprehensively addressing social equity, economic stabilization, and environmental quality simultaneously," says Shuster. "I think our work has shown that proactively getting out there and making a national demonstration of this work in Cleveland, that hey, we can do this, we can work together, we can share risk, we can collaborate and adaptively manage towards optimal sustainable solutions. This is good stuff as far as environmental management is concerned."
Green Demos Foster Research in Cincinnati
The current draft of Cincinnati's consent decree calls for a 2 billion gallon reduction of CSO discharge by 2018. That's roughly the equivalent to 570 million toilet flushes.
Like Cleveland, Cincinnati's consent decree is destined to have a green infrastructure component.
Throughout the city, EPA scientists monitor green infrastructure demonstration projects to further increase understanding of how these systems work, and especially how reliable and effective they are for reducing CSO.
Along with similar monitoring efforts at Cincinnati State Technical and Community College, EPA installed sensors beneath porous pavement—pavement designed to soak in rainwater instead of diverting it to sewer drains. Elsewhere, EPA scientists are doing collaborative research with the University of Cincinnati to study rain gardens and porous pavement in terms of water infiltration and the effectiveness of these green systems.
"The science community needs this [research]," says Laith Alfaqih, of The Metropolitan Sewer District of Greater Cincinnati (MSD). "Green systems are in their infancy. How they work, the maintenance, the design of it, all these things are new, but with the help of the US EPA, the research, the implementation of these systems, and showcasing how they work…it's very important and helps a lot for the public and the science community."
EPA has partnered with the Cincinnati MSD and other local groups to study these demonstration sites, called "early success" projects.
This work in Ohio exemplifies how EPA and other organizations have come together to study and support green infrastructure as part of a successful wastewater management program.

Effective managerial decision making requires qualitative as well as quantitative considerations. My focus is on analyses to provide a quantitative basis for decision making. I strive to make students think quantitatively when faced with a managerial decision; provide them the tools to analyze the available data and generate useful information, and to draw meaningful conclusions to aid in managerial decision making. This field of study known as Management Science (more recently as Business Analytics) has gained in importance in the last few years with the growth of the Internet and the ease with which data can be gathered and stored. It is critical for future managers to recognize the potential benefits of the quantitative tools in gaining competitive advantage for their organizations across sectors. My functional area of interest in teaching and research is operations and supply chain management.

In his new book Covenant Marriage, Dr. Lowery points out that God designed marriage to be a covenant relationship. God knew that a contract, easily cancelled, would not sustain the pain of a flawed marriage. God knew that the inevitable hurts and hassles, storms and struggles, difficulties and disappointments would tear at the heart of a contractual agreement and it would disintegrate into a thousand pieces scattered along a trail of hurt, horror and hell. Covenant marriage is far more than a legal contract. It is a spiritual binding of the hearts and a mystical connection where two people become one in a relational covenant that is broken only by death.

Friday, May 10, 2013
(Note to readers – due to the printing schedule, this column had to be written prior to Tuesday's special election outcome.)
Somewhere in South Carolina – What if you saw news reports that a member of the South Carolina legislature has introduced a bill to change the states quarter-century old law regarding what students are taught about guns? For argument's sake, let's call the legislator Rep. Chuck Wagon. Chuck is concerned that violent death by handguns is one of the leading causes of death among males under the age of 25. "For a quarter of a century, we've only taught young people not to use guns. We've promoted gun abstinence. We've ignored the reality that young people are going to make their own choices, so the more they know about guns and guns safety – how guns really work and what the consequences are of shooting them at another person – the wiser the choices they will be able to make."
In this imaginary scenario, gun control advocates say Rep. Chuck Wagon's proposal is simply outrageous and irresponsible. "It is irresponsible for our young people to learn about gun use from their school," said spokeswoman Nanny Statesley. "It is not the place of the public schools to be telling young people about the nature of guns, their use or their dangers. Teaching about gun safety is sending teens the message that its okay to even considering using them. What we need to be teaching young people is not to think about using guns at all. At their age, they do not have the judgment and wisdom to use guns wisely."
Our imaginary legislator would respond, "We can't act like young people aren't going to be exposed to guns. Teaching them the physics of guns, how they operate and how to safely handle a gun in no way actually promotes their use. Why can't we just give them the information? Why can't we tell them everything about guns, ammunition and how to keep a weapon clean, but not to actually pull the trigger, at least not when anyone else is around? What's the harm in that?"
Rep. Wagon is also drafting a bill that he will introduce to allow religious instruction in the public schools. His bill will call for leaders of religious congregations located in the communities near the state's schools to give the facts about their beliefs and religious practices. His bill has raised rancor from the ACLU, Americans for the Separation of Church and State and a Charleston-based humanist group. All the groups voiced outrage, saying any such instruction amounted to proselytizing.
"Why, how can that be?" responded Rep. Wagon. "I just voted on South Carolina's new sex education law, the argument for which was that exposure to mere facts in no way influences, entices, nor endorses behavior. All I'm doing is applying that logic to instruction about guns and religion in public schools."

The Union Street bridge was closed from the early morning hours until around 3 p.m. on Tuesday due to damage from a tractor-trailer that didn't have the clearance to cross.
The damage to the bridge was small, and S.C. Department of Transportation crews fixed the little bit of destruction.
Officers responded to the scene at 6:42 a.m., according to Aiken Public Safety's Lt. Karl Odenthal. The truck was on-route to make a delivery on Powderhouse Road. It attempted to go over the bridge, which Odenthal said it didn't have the clearance for, and the front right fuel tank as well as the reserve tank ruptured.
Fuel trailed from the intersection of Park Avenue and Union Street down to East Pine Log and Banks Mill Road, Odenthal said.
The truck was tracked down by Aiken Public Safety which then assessed the damage and its function.
No injuries were reported.
City crews worked for several hours to clean up the diesel fuel, covering the areas exposed with sand or gravel, and street sweepers were brought out. The city will address the expenses of the clean-up with the trucking firm, according to Public Safety's Sgt. Jake Mahoney.
No structural damage was observed, but a few spikes holding down the wood of the bridge had to be reset or replaced, according to S.C. Department of Transportation's Jeff Terry. There was "superficial damage" to the wood, Terry said.
The truck driver was cited for violating the City of Aiken Truck Route ordinance, according to Aiken Public Safety.
The incident happened several weeks after the Laurens Street Bridge re-opened, which was closed for about six months during a replacement project.

Research Abstract
Research in the Margulies Lab
Computational Modeling of Spatial-Temporal Interactions in Bone:
Interactions between the tumor, bone tissue and therapies used to treat the tumor are complicated by the differential effects of therapy on different populations of cells within the anatomic bone and the tumor. Further complicating therapeutic-outcomes are the interactions of therapies in a dynamic tissue environment and the interactions between cell populations negatively effected by therapy and those that remain unaltered.
Computational modeling will be required to develop more rational and less anecdotal therapeutic strategies. Thus, part of the long-term programmatic goal of my lab will be to develop predicative mathematical models that virtually test different combinations of cancer therapies against pediatric bone sarcomas and the expected post-therapeutic outcomes. I foresee that this work will lead to more targeted therapies tailored for a specific tumor and for a specific patient demographic. Further, it should be possible to expand this mathematical approach to examine the effects of therapy on bones treated for metastases from adult malignancies or to determine what perturbations during childhood predispose an adult to bone or cartilage diseases, such as osteoporosis or osteoarthritis.
Current computational approaches are limited to the molecular scale. An additional objective of my work is to couple molecular scale mathematics (statistical mechanics/ molecular dynamics) with topology, which is the branch of mathematics dealing with macro-scale events. This later work should allow for the creation of more global/systemic models.
Pediatric Bone Tumor Cell Interactions with Bone Mesenchymal Stem Cells:
The de-differentiated tumor cell phenotype is thought to correspond to a phenotype that is similar to an embryonic cell phenotype. This paradigm suggests that factors produced by the resident population of mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) could influence tumor cell survival and progression. Conversely, this paradigm also suggests that factors produced by tumor cells could influence MSC. In the later case, the tumor cell interaction with MSC could lead to alterations in fate determination concurrent with increased post-therapy complications that evolve from a decreased ability of the affected tissue to effectively repair. In the case of bone, therapy associated complications include fracture, osteoporosis and necrosis; all of which result in significantly increased morbidity. Thus, tumor cells may act to inhibit post-therapy repair by altering fate determination or reducing survival in MSC.
Differences between Pediatric Bone Tumor and Adult Tumor Metastases to Bone:
It is widely understood that the bone microenvironment is different in pediatric bone versus adult bone. However, how these differences in pediatric versus adult bone correspond to tumor growth remain unknown. Signaling pathways that are important to development and adult bone maintenance are Wnt, hedgehog, BMP, FGF and notch-signaling. While these signaling pathways have been observed in tumor cells, their respective role in tumor-bone interactions remains unknown. Thus, the complex interplay of these different signaling pathways active in bone may play a role in mediating tumor progression. Conversely, tumor mediated signaling with these pathways may alter bone and impact further tumor progression and post-therapeutic outcomes.
Alterations in Bone and Cartilage Matrix Proteins due to Tumor or Therapy:
Bone matrix proteins engage in various cell functions that include cell adhesion, proliferation and migration. This is an emerging field of tumor biology, with most examinations of tumor-matrix interactions done in vitro. Surprisingly, this area of tumor biology has failed to make use of transgenic animals currently available with altered bone matrix. In addition, previous work has shown that radiation therapy, in particular, is capable of altering the bone matrix permanently. It is currently unknown how therapy or the tumor might independently change the bone matrix and subsequently result increased metastasis or increased morbidity.

As the holidays sprint in our direction to slap us in the face with too many sweets, flourishing displays of crisply wrapped boxes tied with ribbons and twenty four hour light spectacles showing in our front yards, it is the perfect time of year to detox from our wasteful ways and keep some extra change in our pockets.
In the spirit of the holidays, and our intentions to do better, the trend of upcycling has been bestowed upon us to keep up our good intentions. The concept is relatively simple ŌĆō take what you have and make it into something you want.
Lighting is just one way we can upcycle in our home. Just make sure you utilize an energy efficient light source like a CFL (compact florescent lamp) or LED (light emitting diode). Your energy costs will be lower as will your impact on the environment. Plus, the longer life span of the light means you wonŌĆÖt need to replace the bulb as often.
The design is probably already laying around your house, just waiting for your imagination to bring it to new life. Nothing is off limits, so keep an open mind and wait for inspiration to hit.
Perhaps the inspiration is in the kitchen where you can find Mason Jars. Or maybe it is in the den where you have books that have seen better days. Or maybe, just maybe it is hiding in the back of the shed where you left old bicycle parts.
Wherever or whatever your inspiration might be, the key is to think outside the box and renew, reuse and upcycle!
You can handcraft a chandelier comprised of twelve (12) wide mouth Mason jars lit from within by compact fluorescent bulbs. The design is a reflection of old-school Southern hospitality repositioned in a contemporary artistic framework.
Start by drilling holes into the tops of each jar. Using the largest bit you have, drive it through the center of the lid. Next, use pliers to widen the hole to accommodate the lighting fixture you have selected. Remember itŌĆÖs ok for them all to be different!
The lighting fixture has a detachable ring which is used for holding the lighting fixture to a lamp shade (or in this case the mason jar). Screw the lighting fixture into the hole you drilled and widened and screw the ring on the opposite side of the lid to hold it in place.
After assembling your twelve jars, began attaching them to whatever you plan on using for a hanger. This can be an old board, utensil rack or even old wreath rings (the old school wood circles). Hang the rack (or whatever you used) from the ceiling. Measure the distance you want from the jar to the rack, and then used zip ties to secure the jars and cords in place. All of the cables are bundled together by using zip ties as well.
Once all of the jars are placed, we began hard-wiring all of the lights together. This includes stripping the wires down and using small plastic caps to connect to existing wiring in the ceiling. Once all of the wiring is done, the four corner chains of the utensil rack can connect to a hook placed in the ceiling. Make sure that you purchase a hook that will hold the weight of the chandelier!
If you're not good with electrical stuff you may want to contact a professional to wire it and hang it. It is always better to be safe than to stroke our egos and convince ourselves that we can do something we canŌĆÖt and end up getting hurt.
And finally, Ta-da! You have your very own mason jar chandelier!
You donŌĆÖt have to stop here! You can make a one of a kind light fixture out of just about anything including an old bicycle wheel, old books or a paper lantern and coffee filters!
