Too Small to Ignore: Why is Nano Different?
The Science & Engineering Library invites you to attend a lecture by Professor Michael Sailor entitled, "Too Small to Ignore: Why is Nano Different?"
Thursday, May 20, 2010
3:00 – 4:00 pm
Science & Engineering Library
An increasing number of the products we encounter in our daily lives contain nanomaterials, and even more "conventional" products are made using nanotechnology. What is it about a nanomaterial that makes it different, what is the promise of the emerging field of nanotechnology, and what are the dangers? Professor Sailor, a world-renowned expert in nanotechnology, will provide a general lecture on these issues, providing examples from the fields of medicine, consumer products, and environmental sciences.
Michael J. Sailor is a Professor of Chemistry and Biochemistry at the University of California, San Diego. He has Affiliate appointments in the Department of Bioengineering and in the Department of Nanoengineering at UCSD. He holds a B.S. degree in Chemistry from Harvey Mudd College and a Ph.D. degree in Chemistry from Northwestern University. He joined the faculty at the University of California, San Diego in 1990, after post-doctoral appointments at Stanford and Caltech.
Professor Sailor is an expert in nanophase materials, with emphasis on silicon-based photonic systems. Current projects in his research lab at UCSD are directed at problems in nanoparticle-based diagnosis and treatment of disease, optical biosensors, detectors for toxins, pollutants, and biological warfare agents, energy harvesting and storage, and microfluidic systems. Their research received a recent mention on CNN and was covered in more detail in this UCSD press release.

One of the important federal races that looks like a true toss-up tomorrow is the Montana senate race. Incumbent Democrat Jon Tester is effectively tied with Republican challenger Rep. Dennis Rehberg. Tester is technically the incumbent but since Rehberg is the state's only at-large member of the House, this is more like an incumbent vs. incumbent fight.
Both have been representing the entire state in Congress and were known factors going into the race.
What little polling there is on the race is divided. The Mason-Dixon poll for the Billings Gazette has Rehberg leading with 49 percent compared to Tester at 45 percent. On the other hand the final PPP poll of the state has Tester up by two.
One of the big differences between the polls is that PPP finds Libertarian candidate Dan Cox doing much better than Mason-Dixon which had him at just 1 percent. PPP has Tester at 48 percent, Rehberg at 46 percent and Dan Cox at 4 percent. PPP found that Cox's support leaning heavily towards Mitt Romney in the presidential race. There is a chance that some of Cox's support could defect at the last minute and that would likely benefit Rehberg.
Regardless who wins in Montana, it is likely going to be extremely close. It will probably not be called until extremely late tomorrow, if at all. A race so close it results in a recount is not outside the realm of possibility in Montana.

Monday's statements received from United Parcel Service Inc. (UPS) are claiming that the company is all set to sign an agreement with its Dutch rival, TNT Express NV TNTE. AE, to acquire its control over same following the €5.16 billion ($6.80 billion) deal.
Moreover, the agreement will also push UPS to the position of the leading package-shipping company in Europe. UPS's plans of paying €9.50 per share for TNT Express can gain them the acquisition over their so-called rivals.
There are majorly four biggest global package shippers in the market today, including UPS, TNT, FedEx and DHL, with TNT being the smallest in all. Unfortunately, the company's recent struggle is behind its decision of merger, which will enable UPS to enjoy the market-leading position all over Europe with its big domestic U. S. presence and still increasingly expanding Asian business.
UPS and TNT as partners are being expected to generate good annual revenues of €45 billion or even more.
The acquisition over TNT is UPS's biggest deals till date, says the company. Analyst expectations are also pointing to experience more regulatory pressure over asset sales with the merger. "The token 50 cents improvement on last month's informal proposal is hardly surprising", said SNS Securities analyst Mr. Geert Steens. "TNT Express has since released disappointing results, confirming the sad state of most of its non-European businesses".

Gear Question
what lens do I need for late afternoon...
what lens do I need for late afternoon bike riding, after the sun has set but before dark == the clear or the yellow?
The yellow would be a nice choice. It brightens things up and offers more depth and contrast to the shadows and darker areas. It even does pretty good in when it is completely dark outside.
Debbie C
Also, the photochromatic/transitions lenses. They offer both the black/clear, and a like brownish/clear that is supposed to be even better.
Check them out on the Oakley site, where you can get a simulated view of all the different lens options..."optical superiority" tab, in different out door environments. www.oakley.com
Another thought: consider vented lenses, since this is the time of day, early morning/evening that humidity and temp. changes, along with your body heat, causing lenses to fog up. Oakley sells a cleaner that helps with this a bit, too: "nano-clear hydrophobic pen/lens cleaner"(hate typing all that!), I have this, it helps repell rain off lenses.
Hope this helps for your future purchase!

DULUTH -- Gwinnett police have charged a Tampa man with 29 counts of first-degree forgery for allegedly ripping off a Duluth dealership of a Porsche and BMW last year.
Larry Michel, 24, was booked Sunday at the Gwinnett County Jail on the forgery charges, in addition to counts of identity fraud and theft by deception. He's being held without bond.
In September, Michel and an accomplice used a forged cashier's check drawn from an Atlanta bank to purchase a Porsche Cayenne and BMW 745LI from a dealership on Satellite Boulevard in Duluth, according to arrest warrants.
The alleged shysters had obtained personal information from a former employee in Montgomery County, Texas, named Trevor Hill, whom Michel claimed to be at the dealership, according to a Gwinnett police report.
The information was pulled from an employee file, warrants state.
Michel was charged with forgery for each time he signed documents as Hill, his warrants state. He was extradited to Gwinnett this week by a prisoner transport service, records show.
Michel's alleged accomplice, Atlanta resident Carlos Garza, 31, has been jailed in Gwinnett since December.

New Committee or Change Committee Form
This is a revised (9/13) form for creating or revising supervisory committees for both PhD and master's students. Every field except signatures can be completed electronically. Please complete and save the form electronically, print it, have it signed, then submit it to the Office of Graduate Education. The mentor (chair) must sign the printed form, as must the administrators. The other committee members may acknowledge their addition or deletion from the committee by email. If so, their emails should be printed and attached to the printed form.
Note that changes to a supervisory committee cannot be made more than half-way through the semester a student graduates.
Note that the co-chair does not have to be in the same concentration as the student – unless the co-chair will substitute for the chair a the qualifying exam or final defense. The IDP in Biomedical Sciences will not allow a student to have their qualifying exam or final defense in the absence of the chair (mentor), so this requirement should never be applicable.

8th Annual Living Well With Diabetes: A Recap!Posted: May 19th, 2014 | Author: kovlerdaily | Filed under: Advocacy, Events | Tags: ben vereen, diabetes, living well | No Comments »
Amidst test strips, insulin injections, medications, and seemingly forbidden slices of cake, what does it mean to live well with diabetes? Kovler Diabetes Center experts and legendary actor Ben Vereen explored this theme and more at the Kovler 8th Annual Living Well With Diabetes event at the Quadrangle Club last Saturday.
People living with diabetes face many challenges that are often confusing and overwhelming. Dr Tina Drossos, Assistant Professor of Psychology and head of Kovler's Family Health and Wellness Program, addressed several of the common mental health challenges those living with type 2 diabetes experience. According to Drossos, 10-19% of patients with diabetes suffer from depression, compared with 2-9% in the general population. Drossos urged attendees to ASK FOR HELP from their doctor if they are feeling anxious or depressed. Drossos also led attendees through a series of exercises that they can do on their own to reduce stress and cope with the various emotional challenges of living with a chronic disease.
Dr Celeste Thomas, Kovler's newest adult Endocrinologist, took on a more basic approach. Thomas broke down "living well with diabetes" into basic building blocks: managing well, eating well, drinking well, and sleeping well. Thomas stressed how good blood sugar control is an important factor in overall health and urged attendees to focus on improving their health in each category to achieve wellness.
Finally, Ben Vereen, Tony Award winning actor, entertainer, and type 2 diabetic, took to the stage to encourage guests to be more open about their diabetes. Vereen shared his story of being diagnosed at age 60 and learning to take charge of his health in order to live his best life. He urged attendees to TALK ABOUT DIABETES with each other, with their families, and with their communities: "We should talk about diabetes…why? It's not fashionable people! We need to make it fashionable." Vereen called upon guests to go back to their communities and start support groups so that they may talk and learn from each other how to live their best lives.
Living well requires a conscious, daily effort, and we hope Ben Vereen and our Kovler experts inspired attendees to take on the challenge!

Better Than Expected!
- Gender: Male
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Fit's Great! Comfortable. Well made. Not Waterproof, but Nothing I've ever worn has been! Waterproof = Old school rubber/plastic Raincoats. very dry, but you pay the price. (you know what I mean)
Great jacket, excellent stretch. Good rain/wind resistance.
In the real cold and wind I put a shell over it and it makes an incredible mid-layer.
I will say...Hood is Huge, borderline monstrous. Great for helmet. But, that is my one hesitation.. I wish "Sierra Design "assembled there hoods like "Patagonia" they definitely do it right, but you have to pay $200 more.
not that big a deal.
this is a steal! I bought for under $55. Saweeeet!

Video:How to Catch Redfishwith Jeff Mackin
Red Fish can be found throughout Massachusetts, all the way down through Florida. In this About.com video, learn how to spot a Red Fish, and the best places to catch them.See Transcript
Transcript:How to Catch Redfish
Hi I'm Jeff Mackin with the International Game Fish Association. Today, with About.com we're going to be talking about catching Red Fish.
What do Red Fish Look Like?
The red drum, also called a Red fish or a channel bass, or a spot tailed bass. They can be distinguished from other drums; the easiest way is at the base of their tail they have a black spot. Some redfish have one spot on each side of their tail, each side of their body, others will have spots all up and down their bodies. Red fish are one of the most important recreational fish in the eastern United States.
Best Places to Catch Red Fish
They range from Massachusetts all the way down through Florida and around the Gulf Coast as well. The red fish are common; they're pretty much almost everywhere. You can find them back in estuaries, title creeks, bays, inlets, out into the ocean, along beaches. Because of that there's a lot of different methods to do so. They utilize a lot of different habitats, so you want to kind of tailor, how you're going to catch them, by where they are. One of the biggest, most important things to understand about redfish is how they're influenced by tides.
When they're back in the estuaries and in the tidal areas, as the tide is incoming and the water is rising they will actually move up onto flats. They'll go up onto grass flats and sand flats around oyster beds to feed while the tide is high. Then, that's a great time to target them. You can pull out onto flats or you can cast from the edges or wade and cast lures, baits, you can look for swimming fish, schools of fish. A dead giveaway is when they start, what's called, tailing. While they're feeding, they will lower their head, you can see their mouth is actually underneath; they feed a lot on the bottom. So while they're up on these flats they'll start feeding on the bottom and their tail will often break the surface.
How to Catch Red Fish
So, when you're looking out over these flats, you want to look for the ripples where they are swimming, and then, the dead give away is the tails. So, when you see that, you want to try to cast to them. If you're pulling or wading, you don't want to get too close to them because you'll spook them. So, you want to try to position yourself so that they come to you, and then you can cast live baits like mullets, pilchards, shrimp, crabs, you can cast lures, jigs, soft plastics; they all work really really well. Another great bait is a blue crab. Also these are great whole. You can also, if you have dead ones, you can also cut them in half, and they put out a lot of scent. Redfish absolutely love blue crabs. Also on a low tide, a great place to find reds is along the shorelines. The water has receded from the shorelines. Baitfish, like schools of mullet, they cant spread out into the mangroves and around the oyster beds quite as well, so often times the redfish will use that opportunity to where the baitfish are concentrated on the shorelines to feed on them. That's a great time to target them as well.
Thank you for watching. For more information you can visit About.com. Thank you very much.

Victory as fire crews save engine
Last updated at 11:27, Thursday, 06 February 2014
WHITEHAVEN Fire Station will NOT lose its second engine, it has been announced.
Following intense campaigning and public support for the firefighters, Cumbria county councillors decided to scale back cuts to the fire service.
Fire crews have hailed a county council U-turn as a "victory".
There had been public outrage after proposals were outlined to remove the second fire engine from Whitehaven, as well as Workington, Maryport, Kendal and Penrith stations. About 16,000 people objected to the proposals.
The £540,000 of savings the move to scrap the second fire appliances would have helped achieve will now be made through management changes within the fire service.
Graeme Higgins, Fire Brigades Union secretary in Cumbria, said: "This is a victory for the communities of Cumbria, as firefighters now know we will be more able to keep the public — and ourselves — safer.
"The campaign demonstrates that when firefighters and local people stand together, we can make a difference and fight the devastating cuts that are taking place across the country.
A local firefighter said: "If not for the public outcry the service would have been severely weakened.
"It's so disappointing that our own managers stayed silent throughout and were prepared to let the cuts go through unopposed."
Reacting to the decision, Cumbria county councillors, Mike Hawkins, for Mirehouse, and Christine Wharrier, for Hillcrest and Hensingham, said they were delighted at the Cabinet's decision not to cut the number of Whitehaven's fire appliances.
Coun Hawkins, chair of the county council's communities and place committee, said: "As a councillor I have heard both sides to the proposals. I have listened to the council and the fire officers and firefighters. We are pleased that Cabinet has listened to the concerns and I'm happy with the outcome."
Coun Wharrier added: "I think there was the view that everyone had to make a saving. There is a difference to someone making a saving and the health and safety issues.
"The removal of the second engine would have put people's lives in our area at risk, as long with others across the county also affected.
"It was put forward as a proposal and I'm pleased that the Cabinet listened. It's a brilliant decision."
Councillor Barry Doughty, the Cabinet member responsible for Cumbria Fire and Rescue Service, said: "The fire and rescue service is one of the council's life or death services, so I've not been surprised that our proposals generated a high level of public interest.
"At a time when we hear so many stories about public apathy, it's been encouraging to see local people making their voices heard.
"The original consultation proposals to remove the second pump from five stations acknowledged the significant reductions in all incidents across Cumbria in recent years.
"As well as the evidence though, our job as Cabinet members was to make sure public confidence is also taken into account,'' he said.
"Cabinet has listened carefully to views put forward during the consultation and has concluded, despite the huge impact of the service's fire prevention work, not to proceed with the changes as originally proposed.
"As a result, we have dropped proposals to remove the second pumps from Penrith, Workington, Whitehaven, Kendal and Maryport.
"This consultation has generated a huge amount of public feedback and I'd like to commend people on the time and effort they have put in to participating."

Have your say
This is the right decision and great news for Cumbria.
Though it seems questionable why this situation came about in the first place, the article states that savings would now be made through management changes within the service.
So let me get this right, the options at the beginning were to make changes within the management structure or reduce the number of emergency vehicles. Management fearing for the loss of their jobs went for the latter, (you couldn't make it up).
So well done the 16,000 people who put pen to paper (or finger to keyboard) to register their objection. It may not be perfect, but democracy works.
In the words of 'Wolfie Smith'"Power To The People", (gratuitous 70's reference, ask your parents).
I would to thank everyone who signed the Petitions, for every area affected. It was good to see the Community and members of the public gave their support to our cause against these ridiculous proposals. Good to see common sense prevailed in the end.

John Avalon, in an interesting interview piece with Newt Gingrich, writes:
One feature of the GOP resistance to the stimulus bill is a renewed conservative populism—it is anti-big business as well as anti-big government. To some it's an ill fit, but Gingrich welcomes what he sees as a return to Reaganism and small government. Reagan "represented grassroots America reforming Washington; he did not represent the elites telling the American people what to do," he says. "Over the last eight years the Republican Party became the right wing of the party of big government, and forgot that its grassroots was with the American people. I'm delighted that they're going back. There are simple tests: is it better or worse for small business? Is it better or worse for the self-employed, for entrepreneurial start-ups, for your local synagogue, for your local community? If in fact it's terrific for Citibank and GM, but bad for small business, then it's an elite bill—it's not a populist bill."
It is hard to parse whether the "anti-big business" is Avalon's take or Gingrich, but I think it deserves greater scrutiny. Republicans have been the party of individual freedom and liberty, meaning free markets at home and abroad. They run the risk of undercutting their own message by "attacking" big — or small — business for the sake of some populist appeal. If big business is seeking corporate welfare or the restriction of markets, then by all means Republicans should oppose those efforts. But it does them no good to join the chorus railing at "Wall Street greed." The natural corollary to that is government regulation and a less robust economy. And good luck trying to lower the corporate tax, which could lure investors and jobs to this country, after painting big companies as villians.
Now Republicans have never, nor would I suggest they start, opposing all manner of regulation. But I think it is foolhardy to draw a distinction between "big" and "little" business. Once they do that, they are playing on the Democrats side of the field and sacrificing free market principles to score cheap political points.

TUCSON, Ariz. – Doctors have removed Rep. Gabrielle Giffords' breathing tube and could soon know if she can speak.
Giffords had an operation Saturday to replace the breathing tube with a tracheotomy tube in her windpipe. That allows her to breathe better and frees her from the ventilator.
Though Giffords had been breathing on her own since she was shot in the head Jan. 8, doctors had left the breathing tube in as a precaution. A feeding tube was also put in to provide nutrition. Those procedures are not out of the ordinary for brain-injured patients.
Giffords' doctors have said they should be able to evaluate her ability to speak once the breathing tube is out.
Giffords, who was wounded in last weekend's attack that killed six people, remains in critical condition at University Medical Center.
"Her recovery continues as planned," the hospital said in a statement.
Her husband, astronaut Mark Kelly, has remained by her bedside.
One patient was discharged Saturday while two others remain in good condition.

Cassino veteran Dennis Staples: Golf keeps me going strong at 90
Posted: April 04, 2014|
THE moment Dennis Staples picked up a golf club was also the last time he lit a cigarette.
It seems the lifestyle change has worked to a tee as, 44 years later, the war veteran is celebrating his 90th birthday today
Mr Staples said: "I was quite late getting into golf and was 46 years old at the time.
"I was smoking a fair bit and my son told me to quit and take up golf instead.
Related content
"I haven't picked up a cigarette since."
It was not long before he and his son Ian were picking up the accolades.
"That first year, I won the Rose Bowl and me and my son clinched the Family Trophy," he said.
"I also won the Captain's Cup. I had a gross round of 82 and, with a handicap of 16, ended up with a score of 66.
"I got two holes-in-one during my time at Ganstead, both on the shorter fourth hole, but they were ten years apart."
Golf has been a big part of Mr Staple's life and he only gave up the sport five years ago when age finally caught up with him.
"I thoroughly enjoyed my years playing golf and I took to it straight away," he said.
"I have loved golf ever since.
"I had to pack it in eventually, though, and that was a sad day for me."
Mr Staples was born in Hull and, after leaving school, he became a painter and decorator.
He was called up during the Second World War in 1942 and served with the Army for five years.
"I was with the 26th Light Attack Regiment which was part of the 8th Indian Division," he said.
"We fought in Egypt and then invaded Italy. I fought at the Battle of Cassino.
"I was very lucky to come away without a scratch despite being in the frontline."
Not long after he was demobbed, Mr Staples married Eileen in 1947, but she died aged 57.
He worked as a bus conductor when he first returned from the Army before joining the gas board where he stayed for 35 years.
As well as son Ian, he has a daughter, Julie, and four grandchildren.
He admits Ganstead Golf Club became a very important part of his life.
"I retired when I was 61," he said.
"That gave me more time to play golf.
"It was nice to get some success while playing.
"I have made a lot of friends over the years and it will be great to be there on my birthday."
A number of family and friends will be at the buffet dinner this evening.
Dave Smee, who has just taken over as head professional at the club, has known Mr Staples since he was a junior at the club.
He said: "He enjoyed his golf. He was one of those people who was always jolly and happy when you used to see him around the club.
"When he was playing my brother was the head professional at the club and he used to bring us what we called buns.
"He was a really good baker and he used to make coconut tarts and jam tarts and bring us a box every now and again as a treat.
"We always had a joke with him as we called them buns and he would correct us and say they were tarts."A veteran of the hard-won Battle of the Cassino
DENNIS Staples had to survive fighting in the Battle of Monte Cassino during the Second World War.
Also known as the Battle for Rome, it was a costly series of four assaults by the Allies against the Winter Line in Italy in 1944.
The intention was a break through to Rome.
From January 17 to May 18, the Gustav defences were repeatedly assaulted by Allied troops.
For the last of these attacks, the Allies gathered 20 divisions for a major assault along a 20-mile front and drove the German defenders from their positions but at a high cost.
The Allies suffered about 55,000 casualties in the campaign. German casualty figures are estimated at about 20,000 killed and wounded.

If there is something I refuse to eat, regardless of how inexpensive it may be, it would have to be…
Boxed. Mac. And. Cheese.
There is nothing comforting or rewarding about opening a cardboard box, boiling noodles, and pouring in a powder so artificial, so unrealistically orange, it makes my skin tingle thinking about it.…EHH.
Sarah, who grew up on this American cupboard staple, often suggests this as meal when we are stumped on what we want to indulge in for the evening. Without saying a word, I look over at her with a look of disgust on my face.
She already knows my answer.
So with some left over ingredients from other dishes we made earlier in the week, we whipped up a cheesy, creamy, and actually tasty mac and cheese.
Take a stand against nuclear orange pasta and make this mac and cheese!
Serves 2
- 1 1/2 cups, elbow mac
- 8 oz. cubed chicken breast
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tbsp. olive oil
- 2 cups, whole milk
- 4 oz. cream cheese
- 3/4 cup shredded mild cheddar (or whatever kind of cheese you prefer)
- 1/4 tsp. paprika
- 1/4 tsp. onion powder
- 1 tsp. Dijon mustard
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Boil the pasta according to the directions on the box. Just al dente, about 8-10 minutes. Strain and toss in little oil to keep from sticking.
- While the pasta is cooking, heat the oil in a large Dutch oven or large sauté pan to medium high. Add the chicken and garlic and cook until the chicken is fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes.
- Once the chicken is fully cooked, add the milk, paprika, onion powder and mustard. Stir to incorporate spices and bring to a quick boil.
- Once the milk is boiling, add the cream cheese and shredded cheese then turn down the head down to medium. Gently stir in the cheese until fully incorporated.
- Add the noodles and stir that bad boy up. Add a pinch each of salt and pepper and taste. Add more seasonings and cheese to your liking.
Simply put, this is going to be how we make our mac and cheese from now on. Sarah said it was "A hearty party in my belly". That's her way of saying it gets her stamp of approval. Sounds legit to me!
So before you reach for that box of noodles and orange powder, think twice and make this instead. It's the right thing to do.
As always friends, Happy Feasting!

GREENSBORO, NC (UNC) — Led by championship performances by Cari Blalock in the 200-yard butterfly and UNC's school record-setting 400-yard freestyle relay team, the North Carolina women's swimming team surged to a third-place finish Saturday night in the 2013 ACC Championships at the Greensboro Aquatics Center.
Coach Rich DeSelm's swimmers distinguished themselves on the final day as Carolina climbed past Miami, NC State and Florida State in the team standings to place third. Carolina has finished first, second or third in all 35 ACC championship meets ever held. The Tar Heels were ninth after the first day and sixth after both the second and third days before their excellent final day of swimming.
Virginia won the championship with 832 points and other teams finished as follows: Virginia Tech 536, North Carolina 508, Florida State 497, NC State 438, Miami 389, Duke 246, Georgia Tech 158, Boston College 98 and
Clemson 10.
It was a night full of record setting swims and career bests for Carolina.
The night ended on a high note as Carolina's 400-yard freestyle relay
team, which includes three freshmen and a sophomore, won the conference
title in the event for the first time 2007. Carolina finished with a
school record time of 3:15.88, well under the NCAA automatic qualifying
time of 3:17.27. The relay consisted of Danielle Siverling (49.48),
Lauren Earp (48.58), Hannah Lincoln (48.35) an Ally Hardesty (49.47). The
old school record was 3:17.10 which was set in 2009 by the tandem of
Rebecca Kane, Eliza Butts, Megan Steeves and Katura Harvey.
In the previous event, junior Cari Blalock of Wilmington, N.C., broke her
own school record in the 200-yard butterfly and snared her second
individual championship of the meet. On Friday she had won the 400-yard
individual medley in convincing fashion. UNC swimmers finished 1-2-4 in
the event and with their swims assumed the top three sports on UNC's list
of all-time performers in the event.
Blalock's championship came in 1:54.67, just missing the NCAA "A" cut by
.07 of a second. Her previous school record was 1:56.06 set a year ago.
Junior Meredith Hoover took almost three seconds off her previous career
best to finish as the runner-up in 1:55.29. Her previous best time was
1:58.17 and she is now the second fastest performer in UNC history.
Freshman Emma Nunn was fourth in 1:56.85 as she moves into third place on
the all-time chart. Senior co-captain Katie Nolan was the fourth
championship finalist for Carolina in the event as she placed seventh in
The Tar Heels had started the night on a very positive note as senior
Jackie Rudolph made the podium with a bronze medal finish in the 1650-yard
freestyle. Rudolph destroyed her career best in a magnificent swim, going
16:14.49, including a 1000-yard split at 9:50.63. Her previous personal
bests were 16:22.58 and 9:53.46, respectively. She is now the eighth
fastest Tar Heel performer in the 1000 and seventh fastest performer in
the 1650. Carolina sophomore Kelsey Cummings was also a championship
finalist as she placed eighth in 16:34.98
Tar Heel swimmers took home the 3-4-5 spots in the 200-yard backstroke.
Freshman Annie Harrison led the charge with a career best 1:54.79
(previous was 1:55.08) followed by Carly Smith at 1:54.91 and Rebecca
Brooks at 1:56.88. Harrison's time makes her the second fastest performer
in UNC history behind only Tar Heel record holder Smith.
UNC swimmers turned in three career best swims in the 100-yard freestyle.
Lauren Earp was the top finisher for Carolina in seventh place at 49.43, a
time which moves her into the seventh spot on the all-time performers
list. She was upstaged slightly by Danielle Siverling in the consolation
final as the sophomore notched a career best 49.19 to win the heat and
take ninth overall. Her previous career best was 49.37 and her new time
places her third on Carolina's all-time list behind only Richelle Fox and
Rebecca Kane. Other Tar Heels in the event included freshman Ally
Hardesty in 12th with a career best 50.20 (previous was 50.40) and
sophomore Nikki Barczak in 16th at 51.65 (season best 50.28 in prelims).
Freshman Hannah Lincoln just missed the consolation heat but blew away the
field in the "C" final to win in a career best 49.85, taking 17th overall.
Her previous best was 51.15.
Katie Rechsteiner was Carolina's top performer in the 200-yard
breaststroke with a seventh place finish in 2:14.68. In the preliminary
session she went a career best 2:13.71 (previous was 2:14.03) and thus is
now sixth all-time at Carolina. Freshman Rachel Canty was 11th in a
season best 2:15.41, a clocking which qualified her for ninth on UNC's
all-time performers list. Madison Burns finished 19th in 2:20.60.
Carolina finished with nine All-ACC swimmers, the most since the 2007 team
had 11 selections. This year's group includes Lauren Earp, Jackie
Rudolph, Cari Blalock, Meredith Hoover, Carly Smith, Annie Harrison,
Danielle Siverling, Hannah Lincoln and Ally Hardesty.
GREENSBORO, NC (UNC) — Cari Blalock won the 400 IM and Lauren Earp and Carly Smith earned runner-up finishes as Carolina's swimming team continued competition Friday in the 2013 ACC Championships at the Greensboro Aquatics Center.
Blalock, a junior from Wilmington, N.C., won her first individual ACC title and became the first Tar Heel to win the 400 IM since Laura Moriarty in 2010. Earp, a freshman from Etobicoke, Ontario, garnered second place in the 200-yard freestyle with a time just shy of the school record. Smith, a red-shirt junior from Chapel Hill, N.C., came back from her year off and represented herself and her school well with a second-place finish in the 100-yard backstroke in a time of 53.05.
UNC remained in sixth place in the team standings after the third day but the Tar Heels made up ground on three of the five schools it is chasing in the standings heading into the final day. Defending champion Virginia is well on its way to the title with 560 points followed by Virginia Tech with 348, Florida State with 340, NC State with 322, Miami with 288, North Carolina with 287, Duke with 174, Georgia Tech with 122, Boston College with 80 and Clemson with nine.
"We made up some ground today and had some nice swims, but still have a huge challenge in the team race. We plan to take advantage of every swim we have Saturday and see how it shakes out," said head coach Rich DeSelm. "I was proud of the team for their great attitude, team spirit and some outstanding swimming in today's events. We plan to have a great prelim session Saturday and come back to swim faster at night. That's our only option to make a run at finishing strong and moving up."
Carolina opened the night with a solid fourth place finish in the 400-yard medley relay. The Tar Heel relay unit included Carly Smith (53.24), Danielle Jansen (1:02.28), Katie Nolan (52.38) and Danielle Siverling (49.34). They combined to post a time of 3:37.24. Virginia Tech won the championship in the event to go along with the title it won in the 200-yard medley relay on Wednesday night.
Cari Blalock then turned in a dynamic swim to win the 400 IM in a time of 4:08.48 as she led an impressive contingent of Tar Heel swimmers in the event. Blalock trailed Virginia's Shaun Casey halfway through the race but she turned in a brilliant breaststroke leg to take a commanding lead and stretched it out in the freestyle to win by a margin of 2.23 seconds. Also swimming in the championship final was freshman Emma Nunn who took fifth place with a time of 4:15.45.
Another freshman, Annie Harrison won the consolation final in the event with a career best time of 4:14.35. She dropped six seconds from her preliminary time in the event to eclipse her old personal best, which was 4:14.47. Freshman Madison Burns placed 12th in 4:21.35 and Kelsey Cummings captured the bonus consolation heat and finished 17th overall in a career best 4:23.28 (previous was 4:25.65). Harrison's time moved her into fifth place on Carolina's all-time performers list behind only Moriarty, Blalock, Polly Winde and Nunn.
In the 100-yard butterfly, Carolina had two top five finishers in freshman Hannah Lincoln, who was fourth in 53.27, and senior Katie Nolan, who took fifth in 53.33. Lincoln had moved into fourth place on the all-time performers list in Friday's preliminaries and she broke her personal best for the second time with her finals swim. She had clocked a 53.48 in the morning heats.
In the consolation heats, Meredith Hoover was 14th in 55.00, Danielle Jansen 16th in 55.81 and Nikki Barczak 20th in 56.11.
A pair of Tar Heels grabbed Top 4 placings in the 200-yard freestyle as freshman Earp took second place in 1:45.22 and sophomore Danielle Siverling was not far behind with a 1:45.88 good for fourth place. Earp broke her previous career best of 1:45.41 and was just .21 of a second off NCAA champion Jessi Perruquet's school record. She is now the third fastest performer in Carolina history behind only Perruquet and another NCAA champion, Stephanie Peacock. Freshman Ally Hardesty swam in the consolation heat and placed 15th in 1:48.61.
The Tar Heels had three swimmers in the consolation final of the 100-yard breaststroke with Rachel Canty taking 13th in a season best 1:03.14, Danielle Jansen 14th in a season best 1:03.18 and Katie Rechsteiner notching 15th in 1:03.49.
Carly Smith capped off the evening for the Tar Heels in excellent fashion as she swam a consistent race, staying in second from wire to wire to finish in the runner-up spot in the 100-yard backstroke in 53.05. Smith was the ACC champion in both backstrokes in 2011 but missed last year with a medical red-shirt only to come back strong Friday evening. Two other Tar Heels swam in the event with Katie Nolan taking 15th in 54.66 and Rebecca Brooks finishing 16th in a season best 54.80, just .09 off her personal best time.
Action in the Championships will conclude on Saturday at the Greensboro Aquatics Center with the preliminary session at 11 a.m. and finals at 7 p.m.

The Sacred Meal, by Nora Gallagher
Biblical Resources:
Jessica DeWaay Kramasz's Review
See Dr. Gilley's Review of McLaren's book, Finding Our Way Again, one of eight books in the series by Thomas Nelson. Together, these authors promote personal experiences over Scripture, the source for all Christian orthodoxy and practice, while pushing for this paradigm in the church. This is one of the goals of the Emergent Church Movement (ECM). To elevate experience, subjective truth claims, over Sola Scriptura, which ultimately takes people away from God and His Word. This fuels idolatrous deception in the church, big time! Beware, brethren!

To aid in this kind of navigation, Visual Studio includes a Document Outline window. I am inside a project inside Solution Explorer called UsingDocOutline. It contains three projects: an ASP.NET application, a Windows Form application, and a WPF application.
In order to navigate through this HTML page over here in the ASP.NET application, I need to have my Document Outline window opened. It may not be showing up on your machine. In order to make it visible, you need to choose View > Other Windows. Then on this sub-menu, choose Document Outline. This window usually lives on the left edge of the screen. As you can see in my computer, it's over here, and it's docked at the bottom half of the screen.
I have selected the body tag inside my HTML document, and you can see that it's selected over here in the Document Outline. Naturally, I can navigate to the HTML element by clicking on it here inside the Document Outline. And notice that it selects the entire set of sub-elements by doing that. As you might guess, clicking on title will only select that one child element. There is also a nice little Navigation bar down here in the bottom in HTML documents where I can see HTML node as well.
That's not part of the Document Outline, but it's another handy navigation tool. Next, I'm going to switch over to the Windows Forms application and open this Form1.cs. I probably need to make my window a little bit wider over here to see what's going on. In this UI, I've got the Tab Control that contains some group boxes and within the group boxes are some radio buttons and checkboxes. So of course, I can select this radio button in the group box and see what happens in the Document Outline? It shows up as selected over here.
I can then click on this check box here, and it will automatically select it in the second group box. This is what I mean by when you have a complex nested UI. Sometimes you can't even get your mouse to the point where you can click on something in the designer. But with this Document Outline, I can select it and then see it. I can also move items from one element to another. For instance, I can take this check box and drag it and drop it inside this group box. Now, it has become a child of that group box.
In WPF, I can do the same thing. Here, I'm in the WPF application. I am going to open the MainWindow.xaml file. Again, this is a complex UI here. WPF has added one extra twist. When you hover over the item in the Document Outline, you get a Preview window that pops up that's showing all the children elements of this grid and what they'll look like. It's like a miniature thumbnail. And as I drill down into my object model, let's say I click on this TreeView here or hover over it, you see that I'm seeing a subset of that UI.
Now, I'm only seeing the TreeView. I'll click here. It gets selected in my designer and selected in my XAML view. Also, if I select the items in the designer, you see that they are selected over here in the Document Outline. So as you can see, the Document Outline window is a simple concept, but it provides a handy way to navigate complex UI in many different project types.

I know there is debate about wether World Showcase needs rides or just atmosphere but one thing I can never understand is why Soarin wasn't added to a country rather than the land. The technology would have made much more sense as a tour of one of the World Showcase nations - think of soarin over the UK or Japan it would have been great and I'm sure an airline would have provided some sponsor dollars. Or you could have has a world tour film covering nations not covered where the millennium village is
does anyone know why the land was chosen instead?

The City of Georgetown is growing, and behind the scenes fostering that growth is the citys Housing and Community Development Department.
The department may only have five employees, but from the scope of work they cover, one would never know it.
Rick Martin, building and zoning administrator, takes the lead in the department.
In addition to fulfilling his everyday duties like completing building inspections and approving permits for new construction coming to the city, he also reports to City Council.
Hes been with the department for seven years.
Matt Millwood, the GIS (Geographical Information Systems) planner, has worked there for eight years and is responsible for mapping the city and its projects.
His work helps keep flood insurance premiums down, and is often used to help emergency services departments during disasters, such as when the sinkholes popped up across Georgetown in 2011. He also manages the city website.
Janet Grant, whos worked for the city for 10 years, is the code enforcer and is responsible for keeping the city in line with code.
If a house appears to be unsafe, a neighbor hasnt mowed their grass in months, or a sign is put up illegally, she knows about it.
She sends letters to businesses and residents to keep them in check, and if need be, goes to court for the issues. She also receives complaints from the community.
Cindy Thompson, the departments only part-time employee, coordinates Keep Georgetown Beautiful.
Through her efforts, the city has trees and flowers planted in public right-of-ways, landscaped parks, and she makes sure they are maintained through recycling and litter pick-up programs.
She also organizes the summertime Moves in the Park. Shes worked for the city for two years. Lastly, Debra Grant has been the face of the department for eight years.
As the administrative assistant, she greets all customers who visit the City Hall office in person and also answers the phones. She manages the departments calendar, schedules all committee and board meetings, and handles filings for building permits.
Most citizens may see the department staff in their office from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday, but the team also works weekends and nights during a crisis.
For example, during the ice storms earlier this year, it was the Housing and Community Development staff that opened City Hall to the public for those without heat and electricity.
And if someone isnt in the office for a day, the department doesnt stop.
We have a staff meeting each week. If anything is going on in this office, everybody knows it. Its not all in one persons court, said Millwood.
He said the department prides itself on being cross-trained so even if someone is absent, the customer can still get the help they need from another employee.
Quickly returning phone calls is also another point of pride for him. Grant said one of her most favorite elements of her job is working closely with Thompson to help organize community service projects.
I work with Keep Georgetown Beautiful and its volunteers, like the ROTC and churches. I work with residents who need help, like with roofing or painting, and its a big joy watching these kids come out and help these residents.
A lot of the time they are older and theres no way they could make those improvements by themselves.
Of her passion, Thompson said, Somebody needs to be watching out for the city, making sure we recycle and pick up litter, that our parks are clean and our streets are pretty. I like working with volunteers and youth, and I like to see the beautification efforts of Keep Georgetown Beautiful at work. The group said to work in their department, employees have to be organized, enjoy working with the public, multitask, and be a team player.
Debra Grant said the staff is so tight-knit, they feel more like a family than co-workers.
We have a family environment in our department, she said. When I go to the office in the morning, Im leaving home and coming home.
Martin said for him, the work the team does is essential for improving the city they all know and love.Without the department, the city would have no growth, including building, beautification and maintenance.
The hospital, the new Goodwill if we didnt show up for work, all of those jobs, all of that growth, would stop, he explained. And he isnt the only one in the department who is passionate about its role in making Georgetown what it is.
I just think were the best department in the whole city, said Grant with a smile.
I second that, said Martin.
He continued: This isnt just where we work, this is our home too, and we want it to be great.
