What went wrong?
Well ... just about everything. On the days the Mariners' offense showed up, the pitching let them down. On the days the pitching was decent, the position player left their bats at home. Frankly, not much went right for the M's.

Press Releases
Registration Open for Summer!Kids@Carroll and Teen College
Release Date: 3/20/2013
CONTACT: Sylvia Blair
Executive Assistant to the President
Carroll Community College
Registration Open for Summer!Kids@Carroll and Teen College at Carroll Community College
Westminster, Md.,--Summer! Kids@Carroll and Teen College, a youth summer camp program at Carroll Community College, is right around the corner. The weekly camps will be offered from June 24 through August 9, 2013. Registration is ongoing.
Now in its ninth year, the popular program has grown from 500 registrations in 2004 to over 1800 in summer, 2012. Its success, according to Sally Long, senior director of Lifelong Learning and Program Support Systems, "is due to the enrichment experience in a camp-like environment; high quality instruction; well trained staff and quality assurance; well-planned processes and organization; and, of course, we don't skimp on the fun."
Summer! Kids@Carroll and Teen College serve youth ages four to 15. The college's Child Development Center provides camps for children ages four and five.
Summer!Kids@Carroll focuses on youth ages five to 11 and Teen College serves teens age 12 to 15. The week-long camps provide in-depth experiences in a wide variety of subject areas.
New camps this year help scouts to earn badges. Staff will be on hand all summer to provide the required outlines for the Girl Scouts or to sign the Blue Card for Boy Scouts. A chart showing which camps meet some or all of specific badge requirements is available at carrollcc.edu/summerkids.
Also, the 2013 summer camp season features more camps for five-year-olds, expanded STEM-related programs and over 60 new camps overall. From ancient civilization to nature; Lego's to performance; cooking to Harry Potter; and engineering to fashion, kids and teens will find something to inspire and motivate.
Long said "Each camp explores a topic in depth. It is important to keep students coming back and pursuing new interests. That is one reason it is important to offer new programs. Each summer, children come back to something new or fresh, even if it is related to a previous experience."
For a quick overview of the Summer !Kids@Carroll/Teen College program, watch the video and view the entire schedule of camps at carrollcc.edu/summerkids. Register online or by calling 410-386-8100.

In 1993, he started sowing seeds, choosing European and Asian varieties with superior taste, texture and resilience. "I've got no business growing iceberg lettuce out here," he remarks. "Iceberg's just light-green salad filler." He started with lollo rossa, "an unbelievably frilly lettuce -- very, very finely divided at the leaf tips -- with a substantive texture and flavor," and ermosa, "a real soft buttery texture to the leaf and a wonderful yellow-green core. It's also heat-tolerant and tolerant of bottom-rot; head lettuces accumulate a lot of moisture, so they're prone to fungus that rots the core out of them."
He planted, and then he watched the floodwaters rise steadily, soaking the fields, covering the car's tires, licking at the house. Vallie Stump, the kindly old gentleman who used to own Bellews Creek Farm, now lived up the road a ways, and he'd come down to tell Krautmann when a storm was coming and from where and show him what would get wet. "You get all uptight thinking there has to be something you can do -- jump up and down, shout at it to make it go away," he recalls. "Then you finally get your mind around the notion that there's nothing you can do, short of getting your stuff out of the barn."
By the spring of 1995, he had a few area chefs, consumers and natural-food stores interested, and he was ready for certification. But then, when he went to inflate the tire of a split-rim wheel from his manure spreader, it flipped around and exploded with more than 100 pounds of pressure against his arm. "I tried to get up and felt my arm flap," he recalls. "I didn't want the kids to see, so I cradled it against me, sat down in the kitchen and said, 'OK, we better call 911.'"
Medics helicoptered him to St. Louis University Medical Center, where surgeons transplanted bone from his leg to his wrist, set double fractures in his arm, splinted broken fingers and sewed his chin back together. It was six weeks from planting time.
"I came home ready to shut things down," says Krautmann, "but a woman from my parish was helping me out in the greenhouse, and she'd gotten pretty maternal about those seedlings, and she insisted she'd help me get through the season. She'd never even farmed. I said, 'Listen, you've got no idea.' But she marshaled some 300 people over the course of the summer, and the local butcher donated brats to the crews, and the septic-tank people donated Port-a-Potties...."
That autumn, an overwhelmed and grateful Krautmann turned plywood and bales of hay into a 30-foot smorgasbord, and the workers dragged everything they could out of the fields, drank and danced, celebrated the harvest.
Dangling a bucket of banana and mango peels, Krautmann hikes to the upper field. "Los chachos amigos!" he exclaims ("My pig friends!"), and two of the seven Yorkshire Duroc hogs amble to the solar-powered electric fence, greeting him with a symphony of grunts, moans, squeaks and snorts. He snorts back, reaching out to rub behind the big one's floppy triangular ears. "Pigs are ridiculously smart," he observes, just as one flops into the muck and rolls onto its side. "They do that as a vehicle to get cool," he explains. "Pigs don't sweat. Also, it's protection against sunburn, and it helps them get rid of external parasites." The hogs' mud-spattered coats are rough as a coir doormat, and hair sticks up every which way above their hard-plated snouts. "Pig-gies," Krautmann shrills, and a few more trot to the fence.
They are his prized cure for johnsongrass, an invasive weed with rhizomes 8 feet long. "You leave it exposed to frost, you mow it, you graze it, you tie it up. Or you look around for an animal that will eat the roots, and you recognize a pig as being very fond of johnsongrass." Krautmann had turned the hogs loose in the asparagus patch the month before, keeping them just hungry enough to forage for the weedy roots that were fast weaving a net above the deeper asparagus crowns. "Johnsongrass here, pork sausage over here," he grins. "And I don't have to use poisons."
Above the hogs, his other allies circle: the purple martins who live in hollow gourds hanging off an old hay-rake wheel he anchored to the top of an iron pipe. It's near, but not too near, the feisty bluebirds, and the wren houses and bat houses. "All the birds lay eggs at different times. The babies go from egg to adult in about 18 weeks -- the same transformation that takes us 18 years -- and that whole physical metamorphosis has to be fueled by bugs."
After rigging his feathered birth control for the flea beetles, plum curculio and squash bugs, Krautmann turns to the weeds. "Mother Nature can't leave soil bare," he sighs. "Either you plant so close together there's no bare soil, or she'll throw up something to fill the bare spots. You know those cockleburs you pull out of your dog? One of those seeds can stay in the ground for 20 years."

Destiny, Bungie's new shared world shooter, has been confirmed for Sony's new PlayStation 4 gaming platform
Bungie's new gargantuan first-person-shooter/open-world hybrid has been confirmed for Sony's PlayStation 4 gaming platform. The announcement, which the developer shied away from making at a reveal event in Washington last week, was confirmed by Activision's CEO of publishing, Eric Hirshberg, at Sony's PS4 reveal event in New York this week.
Bungie's president, Harold Ryan, also revealed that exclusive content for the game would be made available for owners of both the PS4 and PS3 platforms.
The news shouldn't shock anyone following the development of Bungie's new IP. At a reveal event last week, in which Bungie revealed extensive content including concept art, gameplay details and music contained in the game, the developer stated that it plans its new shooter to be iterative over the next seven or so years. Naturally this would have included Sony's new gaming platform. Now all we need is a confirmation from Bungie about Microsoft's new console and we're all set.

Jack Gerard is president and CEO of the American Petroleum Institute, the oil industry's powerful lobbying arm in Washington. He is not reluctant to face off with President Obama's administration, whether over offshore drilling or the Keystone XL pipeline. As the oil industry flexes its election-year muscles, it has taken a page from both the Obama camp and the tea party in adopting an advertising- and social-media-driven campaign called "Vote 4 Energy." It's aimed at making energy and drilling a frontline issue by activating millions of voters in swing states. With gasoline prices set to surge, Gerard wants to harness outrage and point it toward November. Edited excerpts of his interview with National Journal follow.
NJ We're headed toward another summer of high oil and gas prices—coinciding with a presidential campaign. When that happens, your industry becomes a political football: Democrats blame Big Oil, while Republicans call for more drilling. Does this help or hurt the oil industry in the long run?
GERARD This time, I think it's different. The price of gasoline is fundamentally set [by] the cost of crude oil. That will be driven by global factors, some of which we have no control over—unrest in the Middle East, demand in China and India. But the one thing we do control is our domestic production. The reason it's going to be different this time is that the American people are now focused on the energy equation. There's strong support in the United States for the development of our oil and natural resources. The public is starting to question—why would you cancel or deny a Keystone XL pipeline that can bring significant amount of Canadian crude to the United States to be refined and put into the marketplace?
NJ You're talking about the Vote 4 Energy campaign?
GERARD A lot of what we're doing is forward thinking through social-media tools. We have a network of over 10 million Americans that are unaffiliated with the oil and natural-gas industry that we're constantly communicating with, and we're encouraging them to engage in the public debate surrounding energy, specifically oil and natural gas. They look to elected officials and ask, "Why haven't we done something about this?" I think that's why you see the president's 180-degree shift in the State of the Union. One year ago, the president said oil and gas is yesterday's energy. And within one year, we get a full-bodied embrace of the need to produce oil and natural gas. Now all we've got to do is get his actions to match his words.
NJ You've been involved in lobbying for 30 years, first as a House and Senate staffer, later running your own firm, then as chief lobbyist for three giant industry groups—mining, chemicals, and now oil. How has the process changed?
GERARD There was a key turning point when Obama was elected president. They learned a lot of the new social-media tools. They communicate in a very real-time basis. They're constantly talking. There's so much information being moved around. That was one of the turning points. Social-media tools allow more and more involvement, and that's a good thing.
NJ What kind of car do you drive?
GERARD A couple of different cars. My children have little Jeeps. At home, we have an SUV because we have a large family, eight children. It's a Chevy GMC. It's probably pretty fuel-efficient for all the people we haul around in it.
NJ A majority of climate scientists say that burning fossil fuels, particularly oil, is a major contributor to global warming. Do you agree?
GERARD There's been an ongoing debate on the climate issue. And the oil and natural-gas industry has engaged in that debate in the past as we will in the future, as we continue to invest in zero- and low-carbon-emitting technologies. Natural gas is a clean fuel. We can produce a lot more of that here at home. Rather than just talk about the issues, our industry takes action in these areas.
NJ But what are your views on the science?
GERARD I'm not a scientist; I wish I was smart enough to make that judgment on the basis of science. I hear the debate back and forth, but more important, we look at sound energy policies, and that's what we're pursuing.
NJ Over the years, which lawmakers, former and current, have you built the best relationships with?
GERARD I hope I have good relationships with a lot of different members. Our operating guide is that we're here to be respected.
On a personal level, I currently chair the Congressional Coalition on Adoption Institute. We have twins, 6-year-old boys, adopted from Guatemala. We have a variety of relationships, personal passions. I hope that those passions are in the best interest of humankind. The coalition is chaired in the House by Karen Bass and Michele Bachmann, [and in the Senate by] Mary Landrieu and Jim Inhofe. It's focused beyond politics on how do we help children, not only domestically but around the world. Those are some personal passions and interests.

The Night Porter (1974)
Dir: Liliana Cavani
Vienna 1957;
Max Aldorfer (Dirk Bogarde) is a strict, cold man who does not suffer fools gladly. He works as a night porter at a plush hotel where he does his job well even if he seems to take great dislike at being ordered around.
One day though Lucia Atherton comes to the hotel with her famous conductor Husband and instantly recognises Max, just as he recognises her, because Max was Nazi medical officer at the concentration camp for political undesirables where Lucia was sent during the war. And in this hellish place she became Maxs willing plaything as he acted out his darkest, sadean, pleasures.
So now, years later, it is not hate and anger that fills Lucia at this shock re-acquaintance It is desire.
Max is not the only ex-Nazi in the city though.
A small group of them hold secret meetings to check up on how safe from detection they are and Max is the one currently being assessed by Klaus (Philippe Leroy, Mannaja) to ensure there are no witnesses against him, or anything that could hurt the security of the group.
Any evidence found on the members is presented as if in a trial designed to find any signs of guilt or fear and purge it from them.
The evidence is then destroyed and any known witnesses tracked down and murdered if they show any signs of remembrance or retribution.
For many of the Nazis this process is to be certain that they can return to public life and even their old status. For Max though it is simply so he can stay safely in the shadows.
But Max, despite his initial fear, is as drawn to Lucia as she is to him (as
their twisted need and sadomasochistic desire for each other overcomes all else)
and they start a passionate affair when Lucias Husband leaves for a few
But the other Nazis have eyes and ears everywhere and soon Max and this strange new woman are under close, and possibly lethal, scrutiny
Welcome to the true wellspring of the most controversial and generally hated
sub-genre in all of Exploitation cinemas vast universe; Naziploitation.
Although the idea of WW2 concentration camp detainees and their Nazi captors being used for exploitative sexual thrills was first spat out at the screen in the form of Lee Frosts, Wes Bishops and Bob Cresses infamous Nasty Love Camp 7 in 1969, that film actually played like a Women in Prison Sexploitation flick more than anything else.
Aside from a few cheap looking uniforms with swastikas on there was nothing really Nazi about these very American sounding guards and, despite the unapologetically exploitative attitude to women and much forced nudity (that still offends the British censor so much that the film is still banned), there was a solid aspect of intentional camp humour to the entire thing.
It was certainly not erotic, fetishist, violently nasty or decadent.
In the same year Viscontis excellent The
Damned (also starring Bogarde with Rampling in a support role) offered
up our first real mix of eroticism and sumptuous decadence with the fetishistic
power of the Nazi image as massive, bright red and black, swastikas hung down
from walls and a young, androgynous, achingly erotic Helmut Berger paraded around
in his Deaths Head emblazoned uniform.
But Viscontis film was a serious dramatic work and importantly set pre-war so as such none of the other essential trappings of the Naziploitation genre were present.
Then, a surprisingly long 5 years later, Liliana Cavani gave us The Night
Here for the first time the controversial elements of out and out Nazi imagery and ideology mixed with the sight of naked men and women huddled into a dank concentration camp at the sadistic mercy of their all powerful captors was unleashed upon the worldwide cinema audience. And it all came with the coating of art house credibility.
Although critical reception was mixed the sheer coverage the film got worldwide, its taboo subject matter and (now) iconic imagery were strong enough to finally usher in the much vilified Naziploitation period in Exploitation cinema.
But is The Night Porter itself exploitative?
True there are much deeper waters here for the audience to wade through (and finer acting to embrace by its two leads) then you will ever find in any of the films that would follow it, including Tinto Brasss gorgeously twisted and utterly sumptuous Salon Kitty, the next most important (along with Ilsa: She Wolf of the SS that came a year after Porter) entry into the cycle, but there is still a definite exploitative aspect to the concentration camp flashbacks and indeed certain background details (like the sight of a guard sodomising another man as the camera pans across the screen) to the main events are purely there to add shock and sleaze.
So for all its art house trappings, philosophical musings and moments of deftly acted deep character study it is in fact the glue of out and out exploitation that ultimately holds the film together.
Rampling (whose career is generally solid but became perhaps best known for being the wife/ex-wife of French electro composer Jean Michel Jarre) is excellent as Lucia and plays both her present and past self to stylised perfection, and her famously thin figure fits perfectly with the hellish life in the concentration camp that she is meant to be representing, even as she enjoys the rough attentions of one of her elite jailors.
The excellent and versatile Bogarde is given a fascinating character to essay,
even though we have to dig around into his psyche ourselves a lot of the time
as the screenplay by Cavani (with story by Barbara Alberti, Amedeo Pagani and
Italo Moscati) does not offer us enough of the man upfront.
Maxs sexuality is very sketchy for example but of much interest.
In our first sexually charged scene with him hes waking up the hotels Bellboy stud to go and pleasure one of the long term residents, an aging Countess (Isa Miranda), and although Max shows general disdain and even disgust towards the young man (who provides our first bit of nudity) he later takes the time to zip his fly up in the elevator and even though he shrugs off the smug Thanks he receives you have to wonder why he felt the need to do it.
This possible bit of restrained, perhaps self-loathing (given his Nazi status) Bisexuality (as he certainly fancies women, at least Lucia) is further highlighted when one of his fellow Nazis, Bert (Amedeo Amodio, a ballet dancing Nazi no less!) makes direct approaches to him that Max recoils from only after a noticeable pause.
Bogarde (who in real life was one of the first concentration camp liberators during WW2) handles this dialogue light scenes wonderfully and indeed he was one of the first actors since the end of silent cinema to go back to using just his face to put over his characters thoughts, feelings and reactions to the plot mechanics. Indeed perhaps no one was better than him at revealing his characters inner workings with just the use of subtle expressions. The camera can linger on a thoughtful Bogarde in complete silence and yet the audience is bombarded with a thousand words.
As expected he handles the character work and dialogue interactions perfectly but more surprisingly (given his acting start in sedate 50s/60s English cinema) hes also very good during the dialogue free Nazi flashbacks when cruelty, sadism and underlying madness is called for. There is truly something disturbing in the way he first spots the stripped Lucia and literally homes in on her with his camera (as he documents the camps arrivals) forcing the lens into her face with barely restrained sadism and lust.
As for the rest of the cast (all dubbed over into English) no one really stands out except for Amedeo Amodio and his homoerotic ballet dancing flashback (although unintentionally camp perhaps and rather surreal - more on that later ) is not only wonderfully shot, edited and indeed danced (dressed in nothing but a small loin cloth) but is one of the films most memorably melancholy moments. There is something far gentler and passionately artistic in Bert than his ultimate fate as a Nazi fanatic would lead us to belive, but he has ultimately allowed it to be drowned by brutish fascism.
Philippe Leroys Klause should have been another strong character, but
his (at least now) rather comical appearance (complete with monocle, ever present
hat and leather coat) makes him look like the winner of the Best Gestapo
Fancy Dress competition than a serious character.
I guess the war just never ends for these guys! But perhaps that is the point?
Talk of the aforementioned ballet sequence of course brings in the films
set-pieces. All the Nazi flashbacks are well constructed and deliver much nudity
and sexuality. But their real power is how they are edited into the story.
The most infamous sequence is when (as the aforementioned sodomy takes place next to them) Max slowly thrusts his fingers into Lucias mouth, in a grotesque representation of filatio, as she lies on a cot bed with the other mute inmates looking on with dead-eyed stares.
But this crudely erotic scene is given its true power in the way it is edited into a modern day opera performance (Mozarts The Magic Flute) that both Lucia and Max are attending. As Max watches Lucia a few rows in front and Lucia carefully steals glances at him the flip from the most civilised of settings to the squalor of the camp, as their mutual degradation is offered up to us (all scored to Mozarts music), creates a stunning sequence.
The aforementioned ballet sequence setting and the setting of an earlier scene
where Max fires his gun near the naked, cowering, fearful but obviously passion
drenched Lucia, also highlights the surrealism of these flashback scenes.
The location for this camp seems to be an utterly dilapidated factory with little if any signs of practical infrastructure or inhabitability and the way the Nazis are posed, often unmoving, as they watch the dancing, or (later on) watch Lucia singing, makes them look like mannequins.
All this adds to a feeling of the unreal (along with some obvious grey/silver make-up on Max and Lucia in some scenes) as if what we are seeing is literally a fantasy variant on what really happened.
Perhaps this is intentional, or simply the fact that this type of explicit sexploitation mixed with decadent Nazi fetishism is something new and Cavani is perhaps getting carried away with her fetish chic at the expense of naturalism.
Whatever the reasons for the eventual creations both the chic overload and fantasy reconstruction theories work and for devotes of Nazi fetishism (and exploitation in general) all these set-ups provide a powerful jolt.
About an hour in sadly the film falls completely asleep for about 15 minutes
and does absolutely nothing (really, you can go and make a nice cup of tea now)
until a superbly twisted return to the concentration camp seems to re-ignite
the film as it then goes into a fascinating scene where we learn more about
the mysterious Countess and how close Max truly is with her, as she becomes
not only his confessor, but also the off-limits world outside that he wants
to shout his desire and love for Lucia out to.
This then leads then to the films most iconic, sequence where a topless Lucia sings a German song, partly in Nazi uniform, to a bunch of SS officers (some in strange masks) in a smoky improvised looking bar.
Rampling does a superb job here and makes for a striking sight and it is no wonder the image of her became basically the only image used to promote the film everywhere in the world.
It was also the image that basically kickstarted the whole, seperate from cinema, Nazi fetish scene that is still prevalent today.
But its a sequence with a narrative point and which climaxes with a scene that shows us not just how sadistic and ruthless Max truly is, but also how much the seemingly now more privileged and arrogant Lucia has to learn about how far he can go.
From this song sequence the film now enters its final movement and the one
that really splits viewers on whether the film is tedious pretension or a serious
psychological journey.
So tied to each other in their twisted desire and need for one another Max and Lucia now become consenting prisoners in their own apartment prison.
Soon the fear of being parted turns into a complete mental breakdown of any reason as they go through a sordid, pitiful existence in the room they dare not leave. Food, water, even fresh air all become depleted and soon they only have each others desires to feed on and a twisted, uncontrollable need which is all they have in the entire world.
Certainly now the films already skeletal plot stops dead as far as the narrative goes, the situation is almost surrealistic in its set-up and lacks any real logical sense in how it plays out and the Nazi scenes vanish.
But this sequence also contains some stunning acting by Rampling and Bogarde
and an extremely erotic, desperate, sex scene that truly hammers home just how
utterly obsessed these two characters are with each other despite their dire
S ome of this is overly pretentious for sure, but for the most part it does work as that psychological study as long as you accept such a studious endeavour being tackled in an utterly fantastical, surrealistic fashion.
As for the main thrust of the plot, that of a camp victim desiring her captor,
it makes for a blisteringly taboo subject matter and surely one to offend most
people. But taboo has never been bad for box office lets admit it.
The film was indeed accused of exploiting The Holocaust, disrespecting the victims of The Holocaust and trivialising the suffering of those who went through it.
Although perhaps this stance is partly attributed (seeing as they were by far the main Nazi victims and the racial symbol of the entire plan) to a frequent mistake people make in assuming Lucia is Jewish, when she is in fact simply the daughter of a socialist.
Indeed, given the dialogue heard briefly as the detainees are logged in, none of the prisoners seem to be Jewish as when asked their religion the two we hear answer say Catholic and Lutheran.
But this controversial setting for the films basic premise is ultimately
separate from the characters. Lucia is a damaged person into submissive sex,
Max is a controlling sexual sadist and both would be like this anyway. War,
Nazis and concentration camps or not.
That they happen to meet during a period in history, and at a certain type of facility, that is the worst hell for everyone else but quite frankly utterly perfect for their own needs, is simply coincidental.
True, its one hell of a powerful and in your face coincidence but that does not change the fact it is one. The film is a study in warped need and crushing desire that tears two people apart before its any kind of serious look at Nazism.
The Nazi set-up and the characters place in it just provide the perfect master and slave back-drop (and indeed tools) for their lust to be nurtured.
All in all then The Night Porter is a film that some will instantly hate for even existing, some will hate once they get half way through as they gaze at the clock, while others will pick through the films pacing faults and less than successful ex-Nazi characters to discover a groundbreaking mix of art house extremity, serious psychological study and out and out exploitation filled with powerful moments, masterful cinematography, iconic images and a truly notorious cinematic legacy.

Airline cargo businesses are starting to see a slightly better demand environment and further improvement in forward looking indicators, but continued increases in capacity have kept downward pressure on yields and revenues. Air freight growth has improved in 2013 compared to 2012, in line with positive cyclical developments in business conditions.
According with the Cargo eChartbook Q4 (pdf), business confidence has been on the rise since the start of the third quarter. Consumer confidence in Europe is at the highest levels since 2011, and stronger economic performance has stopped earlier declines in Chinese consumer confidence.
These developments have supported a rise in demand for air freighted commodities like semi-conductors. However, expected gains have been limited by an on-shoring of production, which has limited international trade growth.
Moreover, continued increases in capacity have countered the modest improvements in demand, causing yields to decline. This trend could continue as new aircraft deliveries come into service in 2014.
Cargo heads surveyed in October 2013 remain broadly optimistic, expecting yields to improve slightly over the next 12 months. This is supported by views of an increase in traffic growth.

My invention relates to medication dispensing systems. More particularly, my invention relates to medication dispensing systems which include a logical controlling component for dispensing medication to a patient in response to programmed signals entered within a control device. Still more particularly, my invention relates to medication dispensing systems which are capable of storing and dispensing medication, accepting prescription data, accepting patient physical data, evaluating data, and providing remote communication.
The treatment of ailments with medication has always been a duty and obligation of a "medically trained" segment of a society, such as primitive "medicine men". Magic and religion played a large part in this early medical treatment. Eventually, with the development of writing, the knowledge and authority of the medical practitioner in each society became more evident, particularly in the region of Babylon, as expressed in the Code of Hammurabi. The Code included laws relating to medical practice. The duties and responsibilities of the physicians were made explicit, even to the extent of requiring a physician's hand to be cut off if his patient died after certain treatment had been administered by the physician.
In any society, it has always been a matter of great concern among the medically indoctrinated members whether a person receiving a medical treatment will actually carry out a suggested treatment when not in the presence of the medical member. Prescriptions of medicines to be taken later have always been subject to neglect, forgetfulness, or even worse, consumption of multiple dosages through lapse of memory.
The modern custom has been to supply a patient with a medication and rely upon the patient to follow the written instructions placed thereon in taking the medication at the proper times and to be able to open the medication container. Sometimes the patient's own ailments interfere with either remembering the times specified for each dose or with the ability to open a container, especially where the patient lives alone. Added to the seriousness of the need to comply with the schedule prescribed for each medication is the recognition that many medications being prescribed today are extremely powerful for their immediate purpose and for their potential side effects, and, either multiple dosages or omitted dosages can be extremely harmful to the patient.
In recent years, with the sophistication of precision-designed mechanical and electronic apparatus, the problem of efficiently and carefully dispensing medications under better-controlled conditions has received a great deal of attention. The prior art discloses many dispensing systems which have attempted to provide adequate controls for assuring the patient and the physician that the medication is being administered according to the designated schedule.
I have found in the prior art the following United States patents for various form of medication dispensing systems and controls:

U.S. Pat. No. 4,695,954 to Rose et al describes a modular medication dispensing system comprising memory means programmable to receive prescription data and dispenser means for dispensing medications in response to data stored in the memory means. A hospital medication dispenser includes a control module and peripheral equipment. The medication dispenser includes a microprocessor which receives, interfaced with a transducer, data from a prescription card. In a home medication dispenser all the electrical and electro-mechanical systems are contained within one unit, including the microprocessor which receives prescription data and actuates a series of individual compartments in response to prescription data as well as audio and visual alarms.
The primary object of my invention is to provide a medication dispensing system which conveniently stores and dispenses medication, is efficient, and is simple to operate.
Another object of my invention is to provide a medication dispensing system which effectively monitors the dispensing of medication and safely controls the dispensing of medication.
Still another object of my invention is to provide a medication dispensing system which is programmable with medication prescription data.
Still another object of my invention is to provide a medication dispensing system which will respond to programmed prescription data to permit safe access to prescribed medication.
Still another object of my invention is to provide efficient and safe access to prescribed medication.
Still another object of my invention is to provide a medication system which accepts physical test data for comparison with previously programmed data and is capable of alerting monitoring and alarm responses.
Still another object of my invention is to provide a medication dispensing system which will limit programmed access to authorized medication.
I have developed a medication dispensing system which is programmable to dispense medication safely and controllably to a patient and which is capable of remotely monitoring a patient. I have designed my medication dispensing system to be able to dispense medication in accordance with a physician's prescription for a patient, and furthermore, to control a patient's accessibility to his prescribed medication only as he authorized. Most simply stated, my system is programmable to notify a patient that it is time for the patient to take a prescribed medication, is programmable to dispense the prescribed medication, and is programmable to actuate an alert signal should the patient fail to respond properly.
I have also provided for an alert signal to be actuable by the patient, or, as programmable, to be actuable upon a response failure by the patient, at a remote component attachable to the medication dispensing system.
I have noticed that several important factors should be considered in the treatment of and dispensation of medicine to a patient being treated in a hospital or nursing home, particularly an elderly patient, or even a patient who is being treated at home. These factors are: proper observation of a patient, suitable monitoring of the conditions of a patient, efficient dispensing of medication to a patient, and the provision of adequate alarms, as may be generated by changes in the condition of a patient.
Many patients require monitoring of their health status and frequent medication. However, for different reasons, a certain percentage of these patients prefer to live by themselves before moving to a health care facility.
A common habit of some of these people is that they forget to take medication at the prescribed times, or forget whether they have taken their medication, consequently taking too little or too much medication. In addition, some patients frequently have medication prescribed on an "as required" basis, and quite often fail to follow the prescribed dosages.
Consequently, I have built my medication dispensing system basically around a conventional programmable logic controller, which is programmable to accept prescription data, accept and evaluate patient physical data, interfaceable with medication dispensing components to select a dispensing component in response to patient prescription data and patient physical data, interfaceable with display components to indicate a response by a patient to a signal entered, and interfaceable with a peripheral system to respond to a condition of the patient.
An example of a programmable logic controller which may be used is an IDEC programmable controller. Another example of such a component is a personal computer, as an IBM, APPLE, DEC, or the like, which may be programmable to control the medication dispensing system I am describing. Where necessary, my control component may include suitable analog to digital converters for certain input and output signals.
I have designed my medication dispensing system to comprise a securable medication dispensing cabinet which will permit access therein only to qualified personnel, as, for instance, a doctor, a nurse, or a pharmacist, for storing the patient's authorized medication in a particular manner by which authorized dosages may be controllably dispensed by programming of the controller.
Most importantly, my medication dispensing cabinet prevents access by a patient to more than the medication dosage which is immediately authorized by his prescription and made accessible to him by the programmable controller. An authorized person loads the medication into the dispensing portion of the securable cabinet, and in accordance with the prescription data entered into the programmable controller, the controller activates a dispensing means in the cabinet to cause an authorized dosage to be dispensed into a receptacle in the cabinet. A door in a wall of the cabinet permits access by the patient to the authorized dosage, but a stop member within the cabinet restricts the movement of the door so that the patient may not gain access to additional dosages which are currently unauthorized.
I have designed my securable cabinet to contain most of the operable components of my medication system, such as the programmable logic controller, medication dispensing components, clock, telecommunication components, switches, lights, signals, and displays.
With my medication dispensing system, I provide signal means and display components, and means for interfacing with other peripheral systems, both to indicate whether a patient has responded properly to an authorization to take the prescribed medication, or whether the patient has failed to accept a dosage when authorized. Also, my system permits a patient to request suitable other medication, which, if authorized, may be readily dispensed by the activation of the proper dispensing components by the logical controller. Further, my system provides a means for gathering data about the patient's physical condition, such as blood pressure, temperature, pulse, or other features, which the patient is able to provide in accordance with his physician's instructions; then, if such data is not within acceptable limits, or if the patient fails to respond, the controller will activate the communication portion of the system to inform the medical personnel of the incongruity.
The above objects and advantages of my invention will become apparent from my description of the following preferred embodiments of my invention.
FIG. 1 is a front elevational view of a medication dispensing system according to my invention.
FIG. 2 is a perspective view of a medication dispensing cabinet according to my invention but with the front panel removed in order to show the arrangement of medication dispensing components; but also with electronic control and signalling components removed.
FIG. 3 is a front elevational view of a medication dispensing system according to my invention but with the front panel removed in order to show the positioning of activating components.
FIG. 4 is a sectional view of the medication dispensing system shown in FIG. 3 along the lines 4--4 of FIG. 3.
FIG. 5 is a front elevational view of a medication package according to my invention.
FIG. 6 is a flow chart of a particular program according to my invention.
FIGS. 7a-7d are flow charts of related programs concerned with requests for aid instituted by a patient.
FIG. 1 is a front elevational view of a medication dispensing system 10, generally, comprising a securable medication dispensing cabinet 12, generally, which is designed to include most of the operating components. The medication dispensing cabinet 12 includes a front panel 14 which is secured to the medication cabinet 12 by conventional means (not shown) but which may be loosened by qualified personnel when necessary to adjust, repair, or insert any of the operating components of the system contained therein. Front panel 14 includes a securable door 16 which, in one version, as I show in FIG. 1, is attached to the front panel 14 by means of a piano hinge 18 and includes a combination lock 21. Thus, I am limiting access to the operating components and medication supplies contained therein to authorized personnel only. A patient is permitted access to interior of the medication dispensing cabinet 12 through a door 21 in side panel 22 only sufficiently to reach authorized medication dispensed because a stop 24 secured to the interior of the cabinet 12 limits the opening of the door 21 so that the patient may not reach farther into the cabinet to obtain unauthorized medication. Medication as authorized by patient's prescription which is programmed into a logic controller is dispensed into a receptacle 26 formed in the bottom of the cabinet 12 by structure of bottom wall 28, side panel 22, sloping panel 30 attached to interior panel 32, and lower panel 34, all as shown in FIGS. 2, 3, and 4.
In FIGS. 2, 3, 4, and 5, I am describing a preferred means for controlling dispensation of medication.
FIG. 3 shows a programmable logic controller 36, generally, which, as I described above, provides for the basic programmable control of my medication dispensing system 10. FIG. 3 shows essentially a manner in which operable components of the system are connected.
In reaction to a medication dispensation program entered into logic controller 36, controller 36 actuates a proper medication dispensing component 38, generally, as shown in plurality in FIGS. 2, 3, and 4, which include a dispensing means 40, shown in this embodiment in the manner of a coil component, and means for actuating the dispensing means 42, shown in this embodiment as an electro mechanical actuator, or in the form of a motor. A proper medication package 44, as described in FIG. 5, is properly filled by the medical personnel and placed upon the dispensing means 40. Thus, upon actuation of an electro-mechanical actuator 42, the attached coil component 40 rotates and the medication package at the end of the coil 40 falls into the receptacle 26. Again, as I mentioned, the patient is able to reach inside the medication cabinet through door 21 and retrieve the medication package from receptacle 26, but the patient is not able to reach farther into the medication cabinet, and cannot reach any other medication package 44 still remaining upon any of the dispensing components 38.
Referring back to FIG. 1, and as further shown in FIG. 3, I have designed my medication dispensing system to provide a number of beneficial services, those most beneficial to the patient, his physician, and attending medical personnel.
I show in FIG. 1 various controls, switches, signals, and displays for my system, and show diagrammatically in FIG. 3 an arrangement of the various operable devices.
For example, in FIG. 1, a switch 46 actuates the system through means of power supplied through cable 48, with, of course, reserve power supplied as customarily by batteries (not shown) within the unit.
As I mentioned above, the logic controller or computer 36 is capably programmed to provide a variety of services and signals. First of all, the controller 36 may dictate the dispensing of medication in accordance with prescription and physical data entered upon it. The controller may notify the patient that a dosage should then be taken, and may request an acknowledging response from the patient through illumination of patient response light 50, and patient should respond by pressing response button 52 and acceptance of the medication from receptacle 26. I show a clock 54 interfaced with controller 36 for conventional timing of medication dosages. I have also included and interfaced a telecommunication system 56, generally, as shown diagrammatically in FIG. 3, including pushbutton component 58, generally, as shown in FIG. 1, a speaker member 60, and volume control 62.
Should the patient desire emergency medical assistance, he simply presses a panic button 64 or a remote panic button 68, which causes the telecommunications equipment 56 to alert medical personnel at a remote station from which the medical personnel may respond. At the same time that the telecommunications equipment is activated, an emergency light 70 starts flashing, and after medical personnel appear, they can turn off the emergency signals by pressing button 72.
By pressing request button 73, patient may activate controller 36 to dispense special medication. Controller 36 will acknowledge patient's request if physician has entered proper authority for such medication into the controller. Should such medication not be authorized, a request denial will appear upon a display screen 74.
I have also provided my medication dispensing system with an input/output port 76 to enable the logic controller to be interfaced with various peripheral apparatus, such as blood pressure components, temperature devices, pulse measuring components, or other similar devices, so that numerous physical conditions of the patient may be easily programmed into the controller 36.
FIGS. 6, and 7a through 7d are flow charts outlining and showing the relationship of the procedures and operations I have described above. These flow charts illustrate pictorially various directions to the patient, responses by the patient, and requests by the patient for specific medication, or alerting medical personnel to emergency situations. In these, I have shown various timer controls of the logic controller, timers 1 through 5 simply as T-1 through T-5. Also, "R.F.R." refers to a signal "Request for Response", shown as patient response light 50 on FIG. 1.
Since many different embodiments of my invention may be made without departing from the spirit and scope thereof, it is to be understood that the specific embodiments described in detail herein are not to be taken in a limiting sense, since the scope of the invention is best defined by the appended claims.

Or maybe not....
First pair went back after one rehearsal...rubber stopper on the butt end was pulling out when trying to retract them, taking everything with them them. Right, no problem, swapped for a new pair that was OK at the store...
One week later, another rehearsal and the exact same thing. 0 for 2 in practically no playing time. Back they go tomorrow.
I'm not rough on them, not doing anything out of the ordinary.
Anybody else have problems with these 'almost awesome' brushes?
Yes I have. 2 different pair actually.
On my first pair I pulled the shaft completely out of the wooden handle when I retracted the brush. That was after not even a week of use.
My second pair was so tight that I could barely get either brush to retract or extend. I practically had to use pliers to get them to move.
I ended up retruning them and getting the Regal Tip Jeff Hamilton brushes. No wooden handle, but a similar wire gauge.

Home School (Grades K-12)
"...the intellect, which has been disciplined to the perfection of its powers, which knows, and thinks while it knows, which has learned to leaven the dense mass of facts and events with the elastic force of reason, such an intellect cannot be partial, cannot be exclusive, cannot be impetuous, cannot be at a loss, cannot but be patient, collected and majestically calm, because it discerns the end in every beginning, the origin in every end, the law in every interruption, the limit in each delay; because it ever knows where it stands, and how its path lies from one point to another.John Henry Newman, The Idea of a University, 1852
There is no more pressing need in education than the cultivation of the intellect. This is one of the primary reasons behind the growing home study movement. And, as John Henry Newman said, more than 150 years ago, education is a high word, and therefore is not to be confused with other things (such as indoctrination, training, socialization, amusement). But such cultivation is no easy task. Many materials available to the home school educator (and to teachers in general) lack substance. How does one works one's way through the myriad instructional strategies, gimmicks, fads prevalent in the "educational" materials market today?
We argue that the first step is to learn what it means to cultivate the intellect, to engage the intellect in the process of learning. In other words, we believe that educators themselves must develop their own minds if they are to foster the intellectual development of others. When we have cultivated our own minds, we are then ready to assist our children (students) in this process.
When we internalize the basic concepts and principles of critical thinking we understand that critical thinking must be placed at the heart of everything we do in the classroom. This is true because all content is understood by thinking, assessed by thinking, analyzed by thinking, internalized by thinking, modified by thinking, contextualized by thinking. In other words, it is only through thinking that we can understand content, truly and well. Students therefore need the tools of critical thinking to think their way through content. Until they are thinking their own way through content, with discipline and skill, they cannot internalize it. They cannot make it their own. They do not understand it.
We invite you to explore the resources on this page as a starting point for your understanding of critical thinking.
The following complementary articles on our website are among those most relevant to fostering critical thinking in any subject or discipline and at any level.

Göttingen Campus
The Göttingen Campus is a cooperative alliance between the University, local non-university research institutions and business associates that together profit from steadily expanding collaborations.
Göttingen's on-site partners form an exceptionally vital cooperative alliance in research and teaching. These include joint Collaborative Research Centres (CRC), Research Training Groups, joint professorial appointments and jointly run facilities. More recently, the University has adopted the policy of creating joint research centres with major funding from third-party grants.
Dedicated to the promotion of independent young scientists who are embedded in both local and international networks, the international Master/Ph.D. programmes in Molecular Biology and Neurosciences are part of the Max Planck Research Schools and serve as blueprints for the development of the University's Graduate Schools. On the whole, the University's key research areas have been developed in close cooperation with our partner research institutions and together form the basis for the University's profile today.

Street names reflect the city's colorful history
CORPUS CHRISTI - Corpus Christi's downtown streets were named by Henry Kinney, who laid them out in 1852, and after Kinney's time city officials named streets for mayors, businessmen and other civic leaders.
Doddridge was named for Perry Doddridge, who came to Texas from Lower Peachtree, Ala. He became a wool merchant who opened the first bank in Corpus Christi in 1871 and was elected mayor on the People's Ticket in 1873. Mitchell Street was named for Mayor J.B. Mitchell and Neal Street was named for Benjamin F. Neal, a lawyer and newspaperman who was the city's first mayor, elected in 1852. During the Civil War, Neal presided over the Chipita Rodriguez trial and sentenced her to be hanged.
Born Street was named for E.A. Born, who developed the city's electric system and was one of the first to use crude oil to generate power. Staples Street was named for Wayman N. Staples, who owned a store, lumberyard and packing house at Packery Channel and served a term as major. Like Doddridge, he was a native of Alabama. After Market Hall was built and gave him too much competition, Staples sold out and moved to Alice.
Staples Street past today's Six Points was called Dump Road. During the Ropes Boom in the 1890s, capitalist developer E.H. Ropes planned to build a railroad to Brownsville and rails and railroad ties were dumped at the end of Staples; hence Dump Road. North of Six Points, Staples was once called Colorado.
Alta Vista Road led to the Alta Vista Hotel, another product of the Ropes Boom. Fourth Street, which turned into Alta Vista Road, became Santa Fe. Ropes named streets in his Ocean Drive development for states, including Louisiana, Indiana, Ohio. Popular myth held they were named for National Guard units at Camp Scurry in World War I, but they were named by Ropes two decades before. Ropes Street, named for the promoter, was first called Scott.
Chamberlain was a major street leading out of town to the south, but at some point in the 1930s the name was changed to Alameda. The names of pioneer families can be found in Dunn, Blucher, Bluntzer, Ayers, Bagnall, McBride, Kaler, and Furman streets, among many others. Cole Street was named for E. Barnes Cole, a real estate dealer who donated the land for our premier bayfront park.
Kostoryz was named for Stanley Kostoryz, who bought the Grim Ranch in 1904 and resold the land to Czech farmers. Gollihar, Weber, Everhart and McArdle were named for farmers and prominent landowners in the area. Ennis Joslin Road was named for Ennis Joslin, chairman of Central Power & Light and one of the developers of Padre Staples Mall. Joslin said he got a lot of ribbing about "that crooked road named for me."
Rand Morgan was named for Randolph Morgan, a farmer in the Saxet area. I don't know the origin of the name for Morgan Street, but suspect it was named for shipping tycoon Charles Morgan, whose Morgan Line ships made Corpus Christi a port of call. It might have been named for Col. J.N. Morgan, who owned a livery stable in Corpus Christi in the 1860s. If Morgan Street was named for Charles Morgan, the shipping tycoon, I doubt he was impressed, since a thriving port town in Louisiana, Brashear, changed its name to Morgan City in his honor.
Members of the City Council have always been the greatest threat to historic street names. They were in 1912 when they changed Tancahua Street to Pleasant Street and Carancahua to Liberty. You can still find tile insets with the Liberty Street name on Carancahua. The names were changed on April 5, 1912, then changed back on Sept. 12, 1913, because people didn't like the new names.
Several of the 1912 changes remained, however, including Bluett to Mary Street, Rogers to Marguerite, Ladd to Agnes. Other names were changed later. Gussett Street, for wool merchant Norwick Gussett, became 10th Street. Lott Street, for railroad builder Uriah Lott, became 12th Street. About the same time, the City Council changed Chatham Street, an old name that came from Chatham's Ravine, to Blucher Street and Railroad Avenue was changed to Kinney Street.
World War II gave us several street names. Davis Street, named for Reconstruction Gov. E.J. Davis, was changed to Brownlee for Billy Jack Brownlee, killed at Pearl Harbor, and Langley was changed to Rodd Field Road to honor Herbert Rodd, a pioneer naval aviator. Waldron Road was named for John Charles Waldron, commander of a Navy torpedo squadron that led the attack on the Japanese fleet at Midway. Waldron, part Sioux, was killed in the attack.
Many names have traceable origins, while others are obscure. Why is there a Calamity Drive? An Arctic Circle? Others are clear enough. A pandering City Council gave us Corn Products Road, Southern Minerals Road, Whataburger Street and Shopping Way. The road from Corpus Christi to the Naval Air Station was designated Lexington Boulevard, after the aircraft carrier, in 1941. The name was changed to South Padre Island Drive in 1966 to emphasize the link to the new Padre Island National Seashore.
Aberdeen Street was named for the Aberdeen community, out past the area once known as the Chautauqua Grounds. Don Patricio Drive was named for Patrick Dunn, the so-called Duke of Padre Island, and Bascule Drive was named for the old Bascule Bridge, which was replaced by the Harbor Bridge, which in turn will be replaced by a new bridge.
Timon Boulevard on North Beach was named for Walter Timon, longtime county judge. There was a Garner Street on North Beach, named for Vice President John Nance Garner, who once represented Corpus Christi in Congress and was instrumental in getting a deepwater port for the city. As I have written before, no member of Congress did more for Corpus Christi than "Cactus Jack" Garner, yet at some point the name of the street in his honor was changed. I don't know when or why.
Street names give us an insight into the past. Our history is recorded in shorthand in the names of the streets, which is why city officials should be reluctant to change old place names. Wiping out names that belong to the city's rich history make us all poorer.

And the answer is 0.
And the answer is 0.
I dunno one of you your RBs knocked some kid out this week.
Well, the window's were down.
This team is about as gangsta as a box of kittens sitting on a cloud.
is it too much to ask for one of our players to shoot an opposing player in the face?
Mack is pleased that our guys keep that kind of classless aggression offI dunno one of you your RBs knocked some kid out this week.
the field and in the locker room where it belongs.
Who needs gangstas when you can have some good ole god squadders? Clap clap clap!
the thing is , minus the $#@!ty qb play, we would have won.
vacarro is gangsta enough. he aint got no homeboys to ride with tho.
Do they give out trophies for 4th best in the Big 12??
What good is having class is nobody is there to see it? Or is that the very definition of Class?
Whoah, Mack just blew my mind...
On 1st down....with over a minute and a half....FYI, throwing a "hail mary" to the 40 yard line to a 6 foot receiver is never a solid decision.
It's like lack of clock awareness extends from the sidelines to the quarterback as well. It made no sense.
It was pretty sad to see David Ash meekly put on the headset without even the appearance that he gave a $#@!.
I'm sure he was frustrated and embarrassed -- but how about a little fire? How about a little "hey coach, am I the QB or am I not? Let me play and we will win this $#@!ing game" or something like that.
If there is anyone in charge of the offense, it is a well kept secret.
TCU 49-21 Baylor

If Baylor beats Tech, TCU is this year's Big 12 Texas State Champions.
If Tech beats Baylor, Tech is this year's Big 12 Texas State Champions.
But if you go by conference record:
If Tech loses, TCU over Texas by head-to-head
If Tech wins, three-way tie, and everyone gets Capri Sun and orange slices!
I'm sure Mack has explained this to the kids, and they'll be pulling hard for Tech!
We're gonna bring SO MUCH $#@!ING SWAGGER to the Holiday Bowl. GOTDAMN I"m pumped!

Hi there! My name is Marco Kilongkilong. I am a criminology major with minors in military science and creative writing emphasizing in poetry. I went to McAuley Catholic High School in Joplin, Missouri. I am an Army ROTC Cadet with intentions of commissioning as an officer in the United States Army. I am also a member of the Senate in Student Government Association and an afterschool mentor in Big Brothers Big Sisters of Missouri State. I am a graduate of the Centennial Leader program and I am also a SOAR Leader. I am also a proud member of a social greek fraternity on campus.
When I have down time, I am usually found either working out or running. I love watching movies, watching the Bears athletics (mostly football and basketball), and just hanging out with friends either on campus or in the great Springfield Area. My advice to incoming freshman is three things is get involved whether it is in your residence hall, going greek, or many of the other hundred ways. Being social is part of the true college experience.

Dr. Oliver, who graduated from Miami University in 1977, spoke March 30 on "Humanistic and Scientific Challenges for the 21st Century: Perspectives from a Caribbean Archaeologist."
Dr. Yolanda Teran talks about her experiences with inequalities at a young age in Ecuador. These experiences have encouraged her to speak out for the rights of everyone.
An article by anthropology alumna Emily Crane (2014) was published in the most recent edition of the peer-reviewed journal The Applied Anthropologist.
What challenges does new media pose to the anthropological study of media?
Anthropology majors Sarah Loomis and Alex Boyer wanted to know what some ancient ceramic cylinders in the Miami Anthropology collections were used for.
Anthropology is a holistic, interdisciplinary science of humanity. It is the study of people--their origins, adaptations and ecology, distribution, customs, languages, and social and religious beliefs. Anthropological study includes human genetics as well as personality and society, the prehistoric past as well as the global present, indigenous peoples as well as cosmopolitan migrants, the customs of ancient civilizations as well as the beliefs of peoples today and the study of our evolutionary relatives, the non-human primates.
