Irvine, Calif. - Cal State Northridge sophomore Kelcie Ferreira (Trinidad & Tobago/Providence Catholic) collected a career-high four goals in the conference regular season finale to secure Big West Women's Water Polo Player of the Week honors.
The defender buried all four of her shot attempts in the 13-9 victory against UC Santa Barbara that clinched the Matadors the No. 5 seed in the Big West Tournament. Ferreira scored in the clutch as three of her goals came in a span of one minute and 51 seconds early in the fourth period with CSUN clinging to a 10-8 lead.
Ferreira hit the first of those three goals at the 7:40 mark of the final period to give the Matadors an 11-8 advantage. She put the Gauchos away with two more goals at 6:35 and 5:49 to give CSUN the final winning margin of 13-9.
In addition to her scoring prowess, Ferreira added a game-high three steals to go along with two assists.

Daily Cleansing Gel
This is a very standard, but good water-soluble cleanser for normal to slightly dry or oily skin.
Nighttime Renewal Complex
This fragrance-free retinol moisturizer is a good option for normal to very dry skin not prone to blemishes.
Add to Faves?
Natural Advantage by Jane Seymour At-A-Glance
Strengths: The company provides complete ingredient lists on their Web site; good cleanser; two viable retinol products in stable packaging; those with normal to dry skin will find some reliable options.
Weaknesses: Expensive for what you get; irritating toner and scrub; no AHA or BHA products; no anti-acne or skin-lightening products; limited options for all skin types, especially for normal to oily skin; only one sunscreen, and it contains a low level of UVA-protecting titanium dioxide; moisturizers with jar packaging.
Does Jane Seymour, the actress known for playing the lead on Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman, know what's best for your skin? Guthy-Renker, the company that distributes Natural Advantage (along with ProActiv and Principal Secret) seems to think so. Judging by the number of requests we've received to review this line, Seymour's infomercial has stirred quite a bit of interest. (It's true that celebrities always pique our interest and that their endorsements do, more often than not, generate sales.)
If some of my longtime readers are feeling a sense of déjà vu about this line, you're intuition is correct—we reviewed it back in January 2001, when Kathie Lee Gifford was the spokesperson. At some point, their association (that is, between Kathie Lee and Natural Advantage) was dropped, and Jane Seymour was contracted to lend her endorsement. Dr. Patricia Farris, the dermatologist originally associated with this line, is still on board, and joins with Seymour to elaborate on the company's tag line of "Wisdom Comes with Age ... Wrinkles Don't Have To." we agree 100% that wrinkles (at least those from sun damage) don't have to come with age, but all of us will endure wrinkles to some extent because of what we didn't know (or didn't pay attention to) about sun protection, and there is no skin-care product that can truly alter that reality.
Although the Natural Advantage infomercial exaggeration is present in all its absurdity and deception, it is nonetheless encouraging that a line geared toward women concerned with wrinkles has a product that contains sunscreen with broad-spectrum protection (although it's less ideal than many others) along with stably packaged retinol products.
Interestingly (or perhaps it's discouraging, depending on your point of view), three of the Natural Advantage products that we reviewed several years ago are still in the line. And we can assure you that Jane Seymour, despite being an attractive woman whose acting ability creates ample enthusiasm for these products, had nothing to do with formulating any of them. She's merely the face of the brand, because Guthy-Renker knows celebrities sell products. In an effort to illustrate this point further, think of whether or not you'd be as intrigued by Principal Secret if well-known actress Victoria Principal weren't involved, or if you'd consider ProActiv without the endorsement of Vanessa Williams or pop star Jessica Simpson?
Dr. Farris adds her medical perspective, but as a dermatologist specializing in the treatment of aging skin, it is disappointing that she isn't aware of (or decided not to bother with) the problem jar packaging presents or that there are many anti-aging ingredients other than retinol (though retinol is certainly a prime choice and has lots of research to support its use as part of an anti-aging skin-care routine).
As usual with infomercial lines from Guthy-Renker, you get a better deal if you sign up for the company's club program. As a member, you enjoy lower prices on all products, automatic shipments of the items you use most, and the ability to customize your kit. The original three-step kit is still around, and includes cleanser, daytime moisturizer with sunscreen, and moisturizer with retinol. Two of these products have drawbacks, including price (whether you're a club member or not) and formulary concerns. However, the introductory cost is quite a deal, which is why many women try these products.
If you elect to try them, we encourage you to make it a one-time investment until you know for certain you like the products. Otherwise, the company has you commit to a shipment schedule and automatic billing to take advantage (pun intended) of the low price for the starter kit. The Customer Service staff members at Natural Advantage are quite adept at overcoming your objections to joining the club and agreeing to automatic shipments, so an assertive attitude on your part is a must. For those who don't want to deal with any of this potential frustration, fear not: Natural Advantage offers not a single product that cannot be found in many other lines (and the other lines often have better formulas, lower prices, or both).

I'm considering the possibility of writing a book about Joe and his time with Bomber Command. I'd love to hear your feedback about this. Please use the comments box to give me your thoughts. Novel, or non-fiction? Do you think it would make a good read?
A bit of background for newcomers
Joe was my Uncle, but we never met. His precious letters have come into my possession some near-70 years after they were written. It is my honour to transcribe them, and the poignancy of hindsight about what happened to Joe makes this all the more difficult to write, but all the more important that I do. One letter will be posted to this Blog each and every Friday.
Please see below for a link to Joe's full story and the other letters in this series so far.
In today's letter, Joe is still stationed in Bridgnorth, Shropshire where he is in the Air Gunnery School.
Letter 26 – 6 April 1944
"Somewhere or other
Near Bridgnorth.
Weds night.
Dear Mom and Kids,
I couldn't make it after all as you found out. They decided to give us our exam Monday instead of Wednesday as arranged. Of course they waited til the last minute to tell us! The exams finished today and I have passed! Whooppeee!!
I will NOT get any leave before I go to the Flying School. They've told us to be prepared to leave on Friday or Saturday. I am well in with a W.A.A.F in Wing HQ and she says we're off to 'Castle Kennedy' on the west coast of Scotland, which happens to be a seaplane base of a sort. The wonderful thing is that there's an ice-rink at Stranraer, about 3 miles from the 'drome!!! Just as soon as I get my new address I want you to send me my skates and stone please, by registered post, as if I know of a rink and I CAN'T go, there may be a looney roamin' o'er the glenns! Blimey I'm going Scotch already!!! If I toddle home in 'Thompson Tartan' don't be surprised!
As I told you we had arranged a bit of a 'do' for Tuesday after the exams. Well, we had it and I had the time of my life!!! No kiddin', our Flight Officer 'Digger' Williams and our Instructor (bless his cotton socks) Sgt Frost made the party go with a real swing! We had a real good meal – soup, brawn and pickles, hot dogs, fish cake and chips, with cakes and buns galore! There was beer, cider and pop and we could have whichever we wanted. I had about 1 1/2 pints of beer, then the same in cider and then the same in pop. After the eats we had the 'wits' of the class out to give us a couple of phoney 'speeches', the one being Joe Lee of course, the chump! Digger, after much nagging put three halves of beer in line at one end of the room and three marbles at the other. He then got three boobs to roll the marbles with their noses down to the beer as a race! Oh boy, what a mess! Later we had 'Frosty' sing us some air crew dittys in the real technical way and what a row! Digger did a dance of a sort, he called it 'Chile, Chile'! We invited a bloke we all used to know at Brid' to play the piano and we had a good sing song and a lark to fill in the town. All these celebrations we had at the big old room at the back of the 'Squirrel'. NO ONE got sozzled.
I wrote to Mrs Clarke (or did I tell you) but I've had no answer as yet. If you could find those two photos of (Stan) and (Stan and Sidney) let me have 'em at my new address. Twll Joyce to write to me about her holiday. Hope she's having a good time. No, I haven't written 8 Charles Road and don't want to either! Hope you, Aunts Em and Lill have some fun at Easter. Wish I could be there too!
These envelopes have come in just right as I've got to write to Alma, Marie, Pat, Yvonne, Mary and Jean besides that 'Bridge Inn' as they've just sent me 5/-from the funds!
I am enclosing that P.O. for you to send my skates and stone, as I know you can't manage it out of your money these days. By the way I HAVE seen the accounts bloke but I haven't had anything in the way of real facts off him but I'm trying again!
I also miss your faces at home but I'll be home in about 6 weeks with a 'Scotch mist' on each arm! I hope!!! That's all for now, will try to phone before I leave for Scotland. Now for the fan mail!
So long. Love to you all,
Joe xxxx
P.S. Excuse the Chinese!"
Wow, what a great letter. Such a feeling to have passed his exams and be on the move to bonny Scotland. Great to know how they let their hair down in the RAF in 1944! And as for those girls…Joe was a good-looking boy, but seriously – 6 female fan letters?!!!! I am shocked, Joe!
Joe's full story is beautiful and tragic. He was our family hero. He IS our family hero. If I knew how to complete an effective RAF salute, I would salute you now, Joe. Long may your memory live in our family stories. I hope to post a new letter from Joe's correspondence with his Mother here every Friday until they're done. It will be a turbulent and heart-wrenching journey. Subscribe to the Blog to make sure you don't miss any of it.

EAST BEND - With the postseason looming, Forbush battled to a crucial confidence-building 2-2 draw with conference leader Ashe County Monday night in West Jefferson.
In a showdown between the No. 2 and No. 3 ranked 2A teams in the state, Ashe (19-1-1, 12-0-1) came into the matchup riding an 18-game winning streak, which included a 4-3 victory over the Falcons in September.
Forbush at 15-1-2 and 11-1-1 in the Mountain Valley Conference, looked to challenge for the conference title, but will likely have to settle for the second overall seed in the upcoming playoffs.
Both sides return to action in their respective season finales Thursday night as the Falcons battle 1A champion Elkin in East Bend, while Ashe takes on bottom-dweller East Wilkes in Ronda.
Barring an unexpected upset from the Cardinals, the Huskies will capture the conference title.
From one Forbush team preparing for the postseason to another squad beginning their playoff road, the Lady Falcons topped Randleman 3-1 Saturday afternoon in their first-round match.
Forbush advance to take on Northwest Conference champion North Surry Tuesday night in Mount Airy. The Hounds sit at 28-2 on the year and beat the Falcons twice during the regular season.
Down the road in Boonville, Starmount began its quest through the bracket with a opening-round sweep over East Davidson Saturday.
The Lady Rams return to the court Tuesday against Pac-6 Conference champion Wheatmore.

Outside Magazine included Waitsfield in its list of the best towns in America.
To select the town deemed the best place to live healthy, Outside started with the American College of Sports Medicine's annual list of 50 healthiest cities and added a few small and midsize active towns that the metro-centric pool overlooked. Local runners, cyclists, climbers and surfers were consulted to narrow the finalists to the top 10 places that had easy access to healthy food, work, great trails, beaches and mountains.
Park City, Utah, bested a list of cities that included Bozeman, MT; San Diego, CA; Boston, MA; Oklahoma City, OK; Spokane, WA; Greenville, SC; Honolulu, HI; Carbondale, CO; and Waitsfield, VT.

Legislation would restrict dog, cat sales in ToledoWritten by Sarah Ottney | Editor in Chief | email@example.com
"Puppy mills" are at the center of a debate over legislation Toledo City Council is weighing that would strictly regulate the sale of dogs and cats in Toledo.
The controversial ordinance, co-sponsored by Council president Paula Hicks-Hudson and Councilman Rob Ludeman, would prohibit the sale of puppies and kittens in pet shops, retail businesses and commercial establishments unless the animals are obtained from a legitimate animal shelter, animal control agency, humane society or nonprofit rescue organization and the animals are spayed or neutered.
The intent is to prevent the sale of animals from substandard breeding facilities commonly referred to as "puppy mills" or "kitten factories." But opponents of the legislation argue the proposed law unfairly targets business — and one business in particular.
John and Debbie Stottele, owners of The Family Puppy, a pet shop that opened at Westfield Franklin Park on Oct. 18, said they would close the store if Council passes the ordinance. The Toledo shop employs seven people, including two full-time employees.
The Michigan-based business also has five locations in southeast Michigan. It buys puppies from about 20 Amish breeders in northern Indiana. Puppies are typically sold at between 8-12 weeks of age.
John said he stands with Council members and activists who want to eradicate puppy mills, although he prefers the term "substandard breeders."
"We need to clamp down on bad breeders — and we're in that fight," John told Council members on Nov. 19 during a committee meeting at which the group listened for nearly two hours to supporters and skeptics of the proposed legislations. "The state wants to stop bad breeders, the federal government wants to stop bad breeders, we want to stop bad breeders. But what you're proposing will not do that."
"We do not feel that our puppies are the problem," Debbie added.
John said only about 4 percent of dogs in the U.S. are purchased through pet stores. The rest come from private sales, Internet sales and shelters, all of which are largely unregulated.
"If pet stores only sell 4 percent, where do the other 96 percent come from and is the pet store really the problem?" John asked. "We all want to get rid of bad breeders, but this is going about it wrong. What we need to do is what the state is trying to do — regulate large-scale breeders and give them restrictions and guidelines. Ohio is writing that as we speak. The federal government has had it since 1966. Look at what you're doing. Don't trade a highly regulated industry for a nonregulated industry."
Animal activists
Discourse was passionate but civil at the Nov. 19 meeting. About 25 supporters of the legislation attended, wearing stickers that read "Boycott The Family Puppy."
Susan Robinson of Woodville, who has participated in regular protests held outside the mall, said she owns two dogs rescued from Amish puppy mills.
"The places they came from are horrific and they will have lifelong consequences because of that," Robinson said. "I know that some puppy mills are better than others, but that is like saying some forms of cancer are better than others. We would like them all to go away."
Mary Stulpin of Curtice said she has five dogs rescued from puppy mills.
"They're the lucky ones," Stulpin said. "Many of these animals never get this opportunity. I ask you to think about the horrible conditions of the dogs who are left behind."
Jaleen Tocco of the Ohio Coalition for Dogs said puppy mills exist because they are lucrative.
"The only way to stop puppy mills is to cut off the demand in the market," Tocco said.
Pam Sordyl of Puppy Mill Awareness of Southeast Michigan and Jean Keating of the Ohio Coalition of Dog Advocates, who are spearheading the protest, said The Family Puppy's three largest suppliers are puppy mills.
"[Through USDA records], we basically proved that yes, he does buy from those breeders and yes those breeders are all USDA inspected and yes those breeders all have violations almost every single year," Keating said.
The Stotteles insist they carefully screen their breeders and break ties with those found to be in serious violation.
"We have developed a great partnership with our breeders and know them personally," John wrote in a letter to City Council. "We have been in their kennels and homes and continue to strive to provide our client families the very best puppy: happy, healthy, well-socialized, choice. We are continually improving our breeders, including the physical and social well-being of the parent dogs."
The USDA inspects breeding facilities using regulations set forth by the Animal Welfare Act of 1966. New federal legislation that took effect Nov. 18 adds regulation to breeders who sell sight-unseen over the Internet. Ohio is currently working on its own high-volume breeder legislation.
The USDA inspects licensed breeder facilities once a year. Direct violations involve the health and well-being of an animal, while indirect violations are often maintenance issues, John said.
Pet shops are not required to buy from USDA and American Kennel Club licensed breeders; however, the Stotteles said they choose to. They also said their breeder requirements voluntarily exceed USDA's requirements.
"Some pet stores do buy from unlicensed breeders and they are OK with that. I am not," John said.
John said of the 22 primary breeders he's used in the past three years, three have been cited for direct violations. He said he no longer buys from a breeder who was cited for sick and overheated puppies, but decided to continue buying from the other two after talking with them and determining their issues to be resolved. One was cited for tartar buildup on animals' teeth and the other was cited for allowing an unlicensed veterinarian to perform "cherry eye" surgery on a dog, which John said was unharmed.
The Stotteles' breeders were also cited for 32 indirect violations — 14 of them for no one being at home when an inspector came by unannounced, John said.
"I have no breeders right now that have had a direct violation in the past year. That's the one I'm most concerned with," John said. "Am I concerned with indirect violations? Yes I am. If a guy had repeat indirect violations over and over, I'd cut him off, but if he has direct violations I'm going to take a serious look because that breeder is not taking care of his dog."
John said he can offer families 35 years of expertise in choosing a dog.
John said he can offer families 35 years of expertise in choosing a dog. He started cleaning kennels for a pet store in college and later became the chain's district manager for Michigan. In 1998, the company's owner was diagnosed with cancer and decided to close his shops. The Stotteles renegotiated leases for three of them.
"I don't know how many dogs families buy in their lifetime. Three, four, five? I've bought thousands of them, so I know how to pick a breeder," John said. "If you're not experienced in it, you can get snowed in a heartbeat."
But Robinson and others are not convinced.
"The people of Northwest Ohio do not need to be duped into thinking they are buying quality puppies that have been carefully bred just because someone says they are," she said.
Council reaction
Ludeman said he is sponsoring the ordinance because of Toledo's "huge pet overpopulation problem."
"The sale of dogs and cats (companion animals) contributes to the proliferation of homeless or unwanted animals that are often poorly treated and/or end up in the public animal shelters and humane societies and animal welfare rescue organizations," the legislation reads.
"Prohibiting the unregulated sale of companion animals in pet shops, retail businesses, or other commercial establishments may lower the sale of dogs and cats from inhumane 'puppy mills' and 'kitten factories,' and may lower the shelter animal euthanasia rate, and lead to a greater adoption rate of shelter animals," it continues.
Ludeman — who is a Toledo Animal Shelter board member and former member of the Lucas County Dog Warden Advisory Committee — said he feels strongly the legislation is needed.
"I just have a big philosophical issue with retail puppy stores like that. It's just something I can't agree with," Ludeman said. "You've just got to picture an operation of 50 to 100 dogs. I don't know how you can call it anything other than a puppy mill."
City Council will likely address the ordinance at its next meeting Nov. 26. Ludeman said he expects several members to propose amendments.
Mayor-elect D. Michael Collins said he is concerned about unintended consequences.
"I haven't made my mind up as to where I am on the legislation," Collins said. "But I would hope the author of the legislation would take the testimony that was given last night (Nov. 19), in particular the concerns, and modify the language to the extent that it isn't overly aggressive against an industry, where good actors are treated the same as bad actors."
Councilman Mike Craig said he thinks the legislation is "a terrible idea."
"If we want to ban sales then let's just say we're banning retail sales," Craig said during the meeting. "Don't couch this as we're trying to police something because we're not. We're trying to ban retail sales of pets in Toledo."
"If you make people operate in a way that there is no possible way they can make money, that is a ban," Craig later added. "If you want to say that to sell cigarettes in the city of Toledo, it's 150 bucks a pack, I don't care what you say, that's a ban on sales. Just call it what it is.
"When other people are talking or I'm talking, I like to look at the faces of the people listening and see what their reactions are. When I said it was a ban, I looked at the proponents and six or seven of them were shaking their heads yes, so they know perfectly well what they are doing."
Craig said he'd like to see Council adopt legislation that regulates but doesn't ban.
"They are losing an opportunity to encourage business but hold them to a higher standard," Craig said.
Councilman Tom Waniewski also seemed skeptical.
"I've heard a lot of attacks on puppy mills when the legislation is an attack on The Family Puppy," Waniewski said. "That's what we have to weigh here: Are they getting them from a good puppy mill or a bad puppy mill? That's what I'm trying to distinguish here. I think there's still some more to be done with this ordinance."
Business concerns
Ron Johns, a University of Toledo student who unsuccessfully ran for City Council, said antibusiness legislation hinders Toledo's economy.
"It's really ironic that you guys are saying you want new business to come to Toledo. However, you're passing legislation like this," Johns said. "When you wonder why Toledo's economy is lacking, I can tell you; it's because of politicians passing legislation like this."
Businessman Bill Delaney, another unsuccessful City Council candidate, said people deserve a right to choose.
"We have a tendency sometimes to throw people out of this town, by whatever means," Delaney said. "This man has a right to be here. He has paid his fees, got his permit, done everything he's supposed to do to set up his business. He has a right to be here and people have a right to choose what they want to do."
Ludeman said he disagrees that the legislation is anti-business.
"This a whole different type of animal — excuse the pun — than other types of businesses in Toledo that want to come and start up," Ludeman said.
Gail Dick of the Ohio Association of Animal Owners told Council her group feels the legislation is "unfair and unnecessary."
"The ordinance as we understand it was written specifically to drive this particular business establishment out of town," Dick said. "It is unfair to assume and classify commercial breeders as unreputable because they sell animals to a retail establishment. It is also very disrespectful to portray all commercial breeders as neglectful [and] uncompassionate."
John said he appreciated how civil the discourse was, but was surprised the animal activists didn't bring up any specific accusations against his business, despite providing Council members with a handout detailing past USDA breeder violations.
"There was institutional accusations about puppy mills, but Jean didn't really talk [about my business]," John said. "Why wouldn't she talk about those three [breeders with violations] she sent to City Council? That really put a question in my mind of what's up. Why wouldn't she want that on the record? I was prepared to answer those questions. She's investigated me enough and doesn't really have any dirt on me except the three direct violations, because we do what we do and we're very serious about it."
Shelter perspective
Steve Serchuk, former board member with the Toledo Area Humane Society, Lucas County Dog Warden Citizens Advisory Council and Humane Ohio, said his biggest concern was that The Family Puppy doesn't spay or neuter its puppies.
"Those animals are going to have more offspring and ultimately those offspring are going to fall to the nonprofits or the tax-sponsored dog warden," Serchuk said.
John Dinon, Ohio director of outreach and engagement with The Humane Society of the United States, also spoke in support of the legislation.
"Reputable breeders do not sell dogs through the pet shops," Dinon said. "That's just the way it is."
The bill's current language would make the retail sale of a companion animal a first-class misdemeanor. There was some talk of that being too steep, but Dinon, who is a former director of the Toledo Area Humane Society, said he disagreed.
"Since this is regulating a revenue-generating business, if the penalties are not stiff enough then it just becomes a cost of doing business," Dinon said.
Family friendly
The Stotteles only sell breeds that have track records of being good family pets and said they strive to help customers succeed. With each sale, they include My Pet Trainer, a 15-month e-course training program, as well as a one-year subscription to on-call behaviorists at the Good Dog Hotline, a 60-day health care plan and a microchip to reunite lost or stolen dogs with their owners.
John said he feels the criticism that pet shops encourage "impulse buys" is unfounded.
"Most people we see have been thinking about getting a dog for a long time. They've been looking in the paper, they've been talking; they've thought about it for days, sometimes months, sometimes years," said John, who added that the average cost of a puppy is $850.
"When you get a dog from a neighbor or family member, that's more of an impulse buy. But when you have to plop down $1,000, that's something you have to think about," he said.
The Stotteles said paperwork is available for every puppy, including a pedigree, interstate vet certificate, vaccination records, breeder inspection reports and more.
"Any dog that's out there in the kennel, this is available to you to come in and look at," John said. "I'm not hiding anything. We're trying to be as transparent as we possibly can."
However, during her remarks to Council on Nov. 19, Robinson said she requested records on a puppy during a recent visit to the Toledo shop and was told they could not be found.
Adoption program
The Family Puppy also offers an adoption program. Since 1998, staff have spayed, neutered and placed more than 11,000 puppies and kittens, mainly kittens, the Stotteles said.
"We want shelter animals to get adopted," Debbie said, noting that each store features a banner that reads "Have you visited your shelter first?" "It's just that it's not for everyone."
John said he wouldn't be able to run a business selling animals from shelters, as the city proposes.
"There have been stores that have done that and they can't pay the bills," he said. "The reality is, as Americans, as Toledo citizens, we have the right to decide if we want to buy a pure-bred dog, a purpose-bred dog. We have the right to do that in America. For them to say that a pet store can only sell from shelters really limits what we can do.
"Some of the things in the proposal says breeders that sell to pet stores might not have exercise, might not have vet oversight, it might help us to adopt more dogs out of shelters and it might help shut down bad breeders," John said. "It won't. It's not going to do what they want it to do. All its going to do is put me out of business."

And in my personal experiences the Brown Pride tattoo has always been racist. I grew up on the south side of Houston and knew quite a few people with that same tattoo, location and all. And they weren't sporting the tatt just for Mexican pride, as it was/is a known gang tatt. One guy in particular is a member of TS, whom I worked with for several years, some of his/their ideals on taking over the US population and running out all the other races were amusing back then. (Crazy how I'm starting to see it actually happen now.) So I can definitely see why people are always asking about it.
I could honestly care less what someone had tattooed on them. It's the biased responses that I can't stand. If you're going to fire someone for a racist 88, then fire someone for having a well known racist Brown Pride tattoo.
But wait, it wasn't Dana that actually fired the white Nazi guy. It was Budweiser, the sponsor...... Makes me wonder what would happen if Budweiser told Dana that they would pull their sponsorship unless (insert your favorite fighter) won/lost a fight.

Trumbull News Detail
Researcher Explores the Role of the Victim in Elder Abuse, and Earns Top Conference PaperPosted May. 14, 2013
Mei-Chen Lin, associate professor and graduate coordinator in the School of Communication Studies at Kent State University, recently earned the top paper and will be presenting at this year's International Communication Association's (ICA) 63rd Annual Conference in June in London, England. Lin's paper titled, "Problematic family interaction: A communication model of elder abuse and neglect" was named top paper in the Division of Instructional and Communication Development.
Paul Haridakis, director in the School of Communication Studies said, " ICA is the top communication conference in the field of communication... The article sets forth a theoretical model that accounts for attributes of both elders and caretakers that jointly influence likelihood and types of elder abuse."
Lin's research focuses on elder abuse in the family setting and the role of the victim in abusive situations. While elder abuse has been a growing area of research and media interest since the late 1970s, it is rarely addressed in the communication discipline, Lin says, and an even less frequently discussed aspect is the role of older adults, the victim, in the situation.
The theoretical model asks readers to consider the communication features of the elder victim that may breed elder abuse. While the model challenges the assumption that the older adult (the victim) is always a passive recipient of the abuse, it does not seek to place blame on the victim.
Grounded in the model of child abuse, which focuses on the negative behaviors of the child victim, Lin's model looks at the communicative aspects of the victims of abuse.
"Communication is two-way, it's dynamic. A lot of things that you do can cause your caregiver to get frustrated," Lin says. She cites examples like repeated patronizing communication from the elderly, complaining or off-topic verbosity, which is due to the decline of the frontal lobe of the brain and lack of focus. These may possibly add to family caregiver's perceived stress, among other reasons. Even if a caregiver does a good job without any physical neglect or harm, he or she may still engage in abusive behaviors by communicatively neglecting the elder care receiver.
Howard Giles, professor in the Department of Communication at University of California at Santa Barbara and Lin's co-author, was one of the first communication scholars to explore elder abuse and neglect.
"The combination could lead to different kinds of abuse. It introduces the other side of the situation, which is what makes the model very unique," Lin says.
Lin plans to test the proposed model as the next step to understand the utility and explanatory power of the model. She hopes to eventually offer evidence-based training programs to better prepare family caregivers and older adults for aging processes.

This example shows how to model a go-back-N automatic repeat request (ARQ) system. By modeling the transmission and flow of data frames, the model lets you visualize the system's behavior and analyze its performance under different conditions. The transmitter and receiver subsystems in this model illustrate how to use SimEvents® blocks and Stateflow® blocks together.
Structure of the Model
Packets are created, transmitted over a channel, and affected by errors with a probability determined by the Forward Channel. For each data frame it receives, the receiver uses the return channel to send an acknowledgment (ACK) or nonacknowledgment (NAK) message back to the transmitter, based on a cyclic redundancy code (CRC) check. Upon receiving a NAK message, the transmitter retransmits all frames that have not yet been acknowledged with an ACK.
Frame Creation
This subsystem generates data frames with an exponential intergeneration time. Each frame has a unique sequence number that identifies it. (Note: This example uses the term "frame" in an abstract sense that is unrelated to frame-based signals in Simulink software.)
The transmitter transmits frames and also retransmits corrupted frames based on ACK and NAK messages from the receiver. An entity whose ack attribute is 1 corresponds to an ACK message, while 0 corresponds to a NAK message.
The transmitter uses a Stateflow chart to control the transmission and retransmission of frames. The transmitter state can have one of these values:
Transmitting - Placing a new data frame on the link
Retransmitting - Retransmitting data frames across the link
WaitingToRetransmit - Waiting for the link to become available in order to start retransmission of rejected frames
Idle - Not transmitting because no new data is available or the maximum number of outstanding frames has been reached
Forward Channel and Reverse Channel
The forward and reverse channels represent the propagation delay, assumed to be longer than the delay associated with transmission. That is, the transmitter finishes sending the complete frame before the receiver begins receiving it. Packets are potentially corrupted, but not dropped, during transmission. The reverse channel is assumed to be error-free.
Addition of Errors
This subsystem corrupts packets with a given probability. The model assumes that the receiver can detect an error via a CRC check but cannot correct the error.
The receiver sends an ACK or NAK message back to the transmitter for each frame and either accepts or rejects the frame according to the CRC check. After rejecting a frame, the receiver continues to reject frames until the originally rejected frame is correctly received. A Stateflow chart controls the state of the receiver as either accepting or rejecting data frames.
Results and Displays

Hi all,
I leave for Belgium on Thursday the 21 June. I'll be near the city of Namur for most of July (through the 26) and wonder if anyone would like to get together at some point on a weekend either in Namur or at a location nearby that is more convenient for everyone? I should have posted this earlier but haven't been organised enough to type this post out until now!
Any takers? We could meet up for drinks and perhaps a meal?
Respond in this thread or off-line and we'll try to sort something out.
PS I'm also going to be in the UK for at least two or three days (haven't picked the dates yet, so they're open) - anyone in or near Cambridge that would like to get together as well? I was thinking of the Orchard in Grantchester, but again, have left this far too late to organise, so I understand if this doesn't work for anyone...

Crosley 302 Wall Phone
The Crosley 302 Phone returns to the wall in this Henry Dreyfuss tribute.
Crosley 302 Wall Phone
Henry Dreyfuss, considered a brilliant industrial designer, worked with Bell Telephone Laboratories designing telephones that would suit a variety of home environments. Well-known for the 302 Desk Phone, he later shifted his design efforts to include this wall unit that allowed consumers to walk with the phone while cradling it on their shoulder.
This unified and balanced form replaced the awkward shapes of earlier models. Would you believe Dreyfuss actually used measurements from over 2,000 faces to determine the average distance between the mouth and ear? The Crosley 302 Wall Phone features the nostalgic rotary dial but actually functions with push button technology. No more waiting for that rotary dial to make its slow rotation.
Size is 4.5 x 5 x 9.5.

You could download the image corresponding to each page of a book or you could automatize the process using a download manager. Another option is to use Google Book Downloader, a third-party Windows tool that downloads the pages from Google Book Search using several proxies and merges the images in a PDF file. Google Book Downloader will only retrieve the pages that are available online, so you won't be able to download entire books in most cases.

As many of your breathers have pointed out, we beat better quality opponents then you have. Plus you have two losses, including one beating from the Cowboys.
Discounting green bay is not fair - while they are struggling they are still a very dangerous team.
Next opponent was the Lions, let's just say they are no better then an average team at this point.
Then the Vikings, I guess we all know how that game turned out. They beat you guys at every facet of the game. Then the next two opponents, Jets and Bills are not what I call quality opponents. Matter of fact they may be two of the worst teams in the league.
So before you comment on the Giants opponents, look no further into that you guys have not played GREAT opponents either.
Giants fan since the early 80s
49ers still have ash in their mouths over last year.
The Giants - especially the defensive line - don't look hungry.
"They come to the line of scrimmage and the first thing they do is start looking for me....I know, and they know. When theyd find me theyd start screaming: 56 left ! 56 left!....So theres this thing I did. After the play was over Id come up behind them and whisper: dont worry where I am. Ill tell you when I get there."

European Jewels
Travel through time along three great rivers, uncovering the true jewels of European history, culture, and art.
Embark on a history-steeped, perfectly paced European journey that takes you through four countries along three great rivers—the Danube, Main, and Rhine—and to countless UNESCO World Heritage sites.
When you step into Melk Abbey's great library overlooking the Danube, you are entering a centre of learning that influenced all of Europe. Walk through the medieval lanes of Bamberg and see a layout that established a model for urban development across the Continent. Stand beneath the Wurzburg Residenz's soaring ceiling fresco and understand that, even centuries ago, art knew no boundaries, as artists like Tiepolo traveled from Italy to work throughout the Habsburg Empire. Appreciate the more-modern ingenuity of the Main-Danube Canal, as your ship navigates a series of intricate locks.
Throughout your journey, you'll sample regional delicacies and sip the fine Rieslings that hail from the Rhine River Valley. From Budapest to Vienna, you'll marvel at the jewels of Europe.
Who will enjoy this cruise
Adventurers who wish to discover the full panoply of European culture and history; art and architecture aficionados intrigued by medieval and baroque grandeur; and connoisseurs of fine food and world-class wine.

Beautification Project Part of Hilbert's Earth Day Challenge
- Release Date:
- April 7, 2012
- Contact:
- Matt Heidt, email@example.com
- 716-926-8792
HAMBURG, N.Y. -- In celebration of Earth Day 2012, members of Hilbert College's Students Against Destructive Decisions (SADD) organization will work on beautifying an area outside the Campus Center starting at 3:30 p.m. April 16 (weather permitting).
Using a red, white and blue theme, a campus garden setting will be set up with two blue and two white Adirondack chairs, a blue birdbath, a blue and white birdhouse, a picnic table, and pots planted with flowers fitting the color theme.
Students will also put down new gravel for the project, which is part of a campus-wide beautification Earth Day Challenge co-sponsored by Hilbert SADD and the Student Government Association. Various student clubs, college offices and departments have been sprucing up space around campus with first and second place winners to be selected on April 23 by a panel of faculty and staff.

A Friend to Business? Maybe not
Business interests did not fare as well as usual before the U.S. Supreme Court in the term just ended, according to Mayer Brown's annual tally of the court's business docket.
Originally appeared in print as An analysis refutes the high court's reputation.
What's being said
Interesting analysis, with the sarbanes-oxley act in effect it will be interesting to see how this will impact companies. I work with McGladrey and there's an article on our website about SOX Act that highlights the need for a newly re-focused evaluation of internal controls that readers of this article may find it useful. @ "SOX Reset 2014" http://bit.ly/1g4aX8C

USC Aiken's sixth-ranked baseball team is about to do something it hasn't done yet this year – go on the road.
After opening with 17 straight home games that saw the Pacers go 14-3 and 5-1 in Peach Belt Conference games, USCA will travel to play Armstrong Atlantic State in Savannah, Ga. The three-game set starts with a doubleheader today at 11 a.m. and 2 p.m., and the third game will be Sunday at 1 p.m.
Head coach Kenny Thomas said that the Pirates' home stadium, Pirate Field, hasn't been a friendly facility to the Pacers.
"This weekend's a big series for us," he said, noting the Pacers got swept in Savannah last season. "It's a very tough place to play down there; there's no doubt about that. It's a tough, tough place to play, and we've got to go down there and be ready. It's our first road trip. ... It's going to be a real challenge for us."
One advantage it the Pacers will have in this series, like they have in nearly every game this season, is in the starting pitching department. Thomas will send Ryan Milewski (2-1, 0.28 ERA) and Derek Beasley (4-0, 2.88 ERA) to the mound today, and Wyatt Brown (2-0, 1.33 ERA) will take the hill tomorrow. Milewski's ERA is the best in the PBC.
The USCA skipper said quality starts from that trio, which they've given in almost every instance so far, will be crucial to a successful trip.
"Our biggest thing is we've got to pitch," he said. "We have to go down there and get three good starts and then get the bullpen in there and finish those games out. ... If we pitch good, we're in good shape."
When Thomas talks about getting to the bullpen, closer Taylor Grover (1-0) is the ultimate target. The Midland Valley grad has a league-best five saves on the year and has only given up two runs, both unearned, on five hits and four walks to go with 13 strikeouts in 111/3 innings.
The Pirates have rotated starters Juan Vera (2-2, 6.06 ERA), Chris Base (2-1, 2.22 ERA), Dylan Morrow (2-1, 4.50 ERA) and Ethan Bader (1-0, 3.86) in this season's weekend series. In last year's Pirate sweep, Bader closed out the first game of a doubleheader with 2/3 of an inning of work and then threw eight innings in the second game, striking out seven and surrendering two runs.
Third baseman Chase Butler, who also has a team-high two saves as a reliever, is the Pirates' leading hitter with a .405 batting average, one home run and 13 RBIs. The Pacers are led offensively by sophomore first baseman Ty Barkell, who has a team-best .385 average, three home runs and 16 RBIs.

The 12th Annual Soccer Invitational held by KidsPeace in Orefield, PA, on August 22 and 23, was a huge success. The organizers and planning committee of the event would like to thank the players, coaches, families and spectators who visited the Orchard Hills Campus during the tournament not only for their good sportsmanship and respect for others, but for arriving as strangers and leaving as friends of KidsPeace. More than 100 volunteers from the ranks of KidsPeace and the community contributed to making the tournament run smoothly and safely and ensuring that an enjoyable time was experienced by all. KidsPeace estimates that more than 4,000 individuals were present to play or cheer on their favorite teams.
Community service is a big component of the residential treatment programs at KidsPeace, so many of the children also provided invaluable assistance to the tournament organizers. From making signs to assist visitors in finding where they should be to marshaling games to assisting with setup and cleanup, our kids happily pitched in to help ensure the success of the tournament. Many of our associates spent their days off helping out, and several brought along family and friends to make the weekend one to remember. There was much good will everywhere, and visitors left with a positive impression of KidsPeace and those who work here.
KidsPeace is eager to receive feedback from those who attended the soccer tournament. We would like to know what we did well and where we can improve for next year's tournament. Therefore, if you attended the 12 Annual KidsPeace Soccer Invitational, we ask you to take a few minutes to complete our survey and share your thoughts with us. We hope to see you next year and ask you to bring your family and friends to play, help out or watch some great soccer competition. Save the date for August 21 and 22, 2010, for the 13th Annual KidsPeace Soccer Invitational.

I just got hit with a new one (to me) that I can't seem to verify. I was told today that increased amniotic fluid levels can be associated with PIH (that is how it was presented). I have searched the forums as well as google searched and I can not find anything that links the two.
I'm a bit at a loss as I have seen some comments the other way - i.e. as PE gets bad and placenta seems to decrease in effectiveness the fluid levels seem to go down (at least that is what has happened to us and I have heard reports of the same - I don't know of any studies so I wouldn't report this as authoratitive information).
I'm curious what info you may be able to share on this.

Rutland Town dealing with theftsBy Brent Curtis
STAFF WRITER | December 13,2012A large number of vehicles and even the municipal transfer station have been targeted by thieves recently in Rutland Town.
Vermont State Police and local law enforcement have issued multiple warnings in the last week about car break-ins on Town Line Road, Park Lane and Post Road Extension in Rutland Town.
Police also reported that similar break-ins were reported on Cedar Lane in Mendon.
Monday, police reported the latest break-in the office at the Rutland Town Transfer Station where someone damaged a door and a window to break in. State police said the burglary occurred at some point between Saturday afternoon and early Wednesday morning.
Police said they recovered evidence at the scene.
Transfer station manager Tony Flory said the thieves did a lot of damage including about $500 worth of damage to the door and window but found little of value inside.
They ransacked the whole place but there wasnt much for them to take, Flory said.
Checks made out to the town for about $600 were taken, Flory said, but he and other town officials said the checks could not be cashed since they were already made out to the town.
Im thinking whoever is doing this is looking for drug money and not thinking straight, said Stan Rhodes, chairman of the Rutland Town Select Board.
Break-ins arent new at the transfer station or at the municipal pool next to it in Northwood Park.
Flory said there were four break-ins at the transfer station last year while a break-in at the school last spring resulted in the theft of about 15 checks, Rhodes said.
The town installed surveillance cameras around the pool area this fall to deter further break-ins, Rhodes said.
For residents living in the Post Road Extension and Town Line Road areas, Rutland Town Police Chief Edward Dumas said the best way to deter thieves from breaking into vehicles is to take away any incentive to break into a car.
Dont leave anything of value in your car. Its like a calling card to thieves, he said. For people in the town, its not something they see as much as people in the city. Theyre not used to having their cars broken into.
And Dumas said all sorts of items could have value. In one case, he said, a pair of sweaters that a man bought for his wife were stolen and returned to the store where he bought them so the thief could claim a refund.
Asked if police believed that the break-ins were being carried out by the same person or people, Dumas said that was still unclear.
Anyone with information about the break-ins can call Dumas or the state police at 773-9101.

A:Read the label on the bottom of the product, as you can see it is mostly made from different oils and wax, with natural flavors to add scent. The product should always be safe, although it may no longer retain the same scent that it had when first purchased. If you are still
Worried, there should also be an expiration date stamped on the bottom of the product. Mine was smudged from use so I couldn't see the date clearly, but it should be safe to use nonetheless.Answered on 8/22/2014 by Anonymous
