Erotic magazine Baron combines photography, literature and pornography, taking an artistic and stylised approach to sex, running with the tagline – "gentlemen and ladies who enjoy a cocktail, chit chatting about modern art, fine dressing and when the lights faint and the gin runs out, become connoisseurs at taking their companion into bed." Known for exploring and pushing the boundaries of pornography, Baron have now collaborated with clothing brand RA RA to produce a range of erotic T-shirts, inspired by the young designer's internship at the magazine and consequent affair with the editor-in-chief. Their affair is documented through the T-shirt collection, with provocative names such as "Underage Sex," "Pubic Hair" and "Erection," which take a female interpretation of a man's approach to sex. Here we speak to RA RA about the affair, her inspirations and the upcoming issue.
Is there truth in the story behind the T-shirt concept?
I tend to draw inspiration from my own personal experiences, much in the way someone like Louise Bourgeois or Sylvia Plath does. My affair with Baron really made me want to explore the idea of what makes something erotic. I concluded whilst making this project, that this is of course dependent on the viewer. It actually could be anything from a piece of string that reminds one of pubic hair or a simple pink bow that brings back memories of a bra used to seduce.
How did you decide upon the key pieces within the collection?
The "Underage Sex" T is evocative of the evening I lost my virginity to Baron. "The Pubic Hair" T is a suggestive and seductive evening look. The "Erection" T is a stunning bed-time number, embellished with rivets. The "Flasher Blouse" T is an emblem of the Baron's dark and endearing ways.
What kind of person will wear the T-shirt?
I am rather fascinated with Taylor Swift at the moment, she seems to be a modern day Sylvia Plath. I'm sure Taylor would look very cute in our Flasher T.
How would you sum up the T-shirt collection in a few words?
Evocative, erotic and amusing.
Can you tell us a little about what to expect in the upcoming issue of Baron?
It's by Tyrone Lebon, its tall, pink and stiff, with a pink fabric front and guest edited by Max Pearmain.

From Katie Vick to 18 Seconds at WrestleMania, we're fond of discussing when wrestling promotions screw things up. "This Is Going To Work" is a column intended to point out ways in which those same wrestling promotions are getting things right, and to explain how it's going to work out for the best.
Admit it; we've all been worried for Daniel Bryan. Ever since that stupid tie incident got him temporarily released, we've questioned just how much support WWE is going to give the man many consider to be the best wrestler in the world. Then came the infamous 18 second WrestleMania debacle, followed by what many assumed would be a dead end gig as half of a comedy tag team with Kane. Between this and a string of losses to the higher profile members of the WWE roster, CM Punk and John Cena included, we all had that lingering sense of dread that accompanies our favorites that don't, for whatever reason, neatly fit the mold of WWE successes that came before (looking at you, Dolph Ziggler).
Even this latest feud with John Cena, and the climactic match that ended it, came to its conclusion with Randy Orton, another man built in the mold of obvious stardom, holding the WWE title that we had hoped would belong to Bryan. It felt too brief, as if the WWE was trying to avoid the mistake it made with Chris Benoit, who took the title riding the same wave of fan goodwill only to have his championship reign become a dull afterthought that also ended in a Randy Orton title win at SummerSlam. Once again thrust into the limelight, now as the undivided fan favorite with Cena injured, it's hard not to worry that the WWE isn't once again setting up a fan favorite for eventual failure, with Bryan facing off against not just Orton, but also against Triple H, who modern era "smarks" have long resented but who still carries weight with fans nostalgic for the Attitude Era. It's a tension that feels as if it could break with Daniel Bryan as a noble but failed project, biding time until Cena returns, then reestablishing the status quo.
Except the Daniel Bryan headliner moment is different from the Benoit failure or the previous stutter-steps in Bryan's career; this is going to work. Here's why:
1. Daniel Bryan is a catchphrase machine built for WWE promo success.
When we think of the master technicians that never "made it", we routinely come back to men like Benoit and Malenko, who were savants at in-ring storytelling but who were stiff to the point of awkwardness on the microphone. Certainly, earlier in his career, there was some cause for concern that this could have been the case with Bryan, except when his brilliant heel turn as World Champion arrived, he revealed a gift for creating memorable promo moments that have become signposts along his career. Whether it's the more subtle trolling of his "I'm a vegan" act, the more memorable "YES!" and "NO!" moments that came later, or even the silliness of "I AM THE TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS!" with Kane, the man is a genius at boiling down character or storyline points into promos that easily generate fan responses and turns of phrase that move merchandise ("Respect the Beard" being the latest iteration, almost certain to be followed by something regarding being a "B+"). Whatever concerns we have for Bryan's ability to make this moment as the top face in the company into his launch pad to superstardom, his mic work shouldn't be one of them.
2. The WWE denied us the smark gratification moment in favor of a bigger story being told.
This is important. Looking back on Benoit's WrestleMania victory, the whole moment was built around what it meant for Benoit, what it meant for his fans, and what it meant in the scheme of his career. The mountaintop was reached then and there, in that self contained instant. For a moment at this past SummerSlam, it felt the same way, with Bryan even mugging for the camera and thanking his parents and loved ones. Then, as quickly as it arrived, it was snatched away. This enraged Bryan fans in the short term, but for fans of Bryan's WWE career, nothing could be more promising. The story of "the culmination of Daniel Bryan's career" is interesting only to more hardcore fans, and even then its shelf life would have been limited. The story of Daniel Bryan wronged, and now Daniel Bryan pursuing justice and the validation that will come with it, has the potential to last much longer, and will almost certainly resonate with even casual fans. Instead of giving Daniel Bryan his moment in the sun, the WWE has given him the potential to become the new Stone Cold Steve Austin, chasing his goal with the single minded focus of a man who has had everything taken from him by injustice. Of course, none of this would work if it weren't for the third reason why this whole storyline is going to work for the WWE, for fans, and for Daniel Bryan, and that is because…
3. Triple H is the perfect villain to set against Daniel Bryan, and makes him a greater hero as his foil.
The collective eye rolls for Triple H as special guest referee at SummerSlam were well deserved, and the trepidation over watching Triple H deliver the Pedigree to our hero en route to costing him the title was also understandable, but anyone who watched last Monday's RAW has to understand just how good this is going to be for this story. Triple H is, by virtue of his long career and his positioning himself as a sort of Old God, ruthless, cunning, and almost invincible, everything that Daniel Bryan as hero is meant to overcome. Daniel Bryan made his career outside of the spotlights, in the "gyms and armorys" he frequently references when discussing his independent wrestling; Triple H built his legacy during the highest times for the most well known wrestling business in the world. Daniel Bryan stands under six feet tall, with a scraggly beard and a physique that, while obviously powerful, is far from the action figure standard of modern day WWE champions; Triple H, by contrast, is a behemoth, representing both in himself and his selection of Randy Orton as his champion the image of everything we've been trained to believe the WWE wants in the appearance of its superstars. Perhaps most importantly, Daniel Bryan is an outsider whose WWE career has always seemed precarious, whether fairly or not; Triple H is literally a company man by bloodline.
In setting himself up as Daniel Bryan's opposition, Triple H has given him the quest that every great hero narrative requires, and thanks to his own natural opposition to Bryan in the ways discussed above, he is perfectly equipped to highlight everything that makes Daniel Bryan someone that the common man should root for.
Watching Triple H condescend to Bryan as he was being beaten, then as he dragged himself up to the apron on his last legs, all we wanted was to see Bryan kick Triple H's teeth in, and even though we were denied that moment then, we still want that gratification. Hell, it's the natural climax that everyone, even casual fans, want to see.
Triple H makes Daniel Bryan into a totem for us as viewers, giving us a relatable John McClane hero instead of the superheroes we're used to seeing. If he does what is right for the story, and I think he will because I think he values grooming the next main even superstars in his role as COO, he's going to give Bryan the revenge that will be a defining moment in Bryan's career, bigger because it appeals to both hardcore and casual wrestling fans.
To get there, it's going to take Triple H positioning himself as the perfect villain to Bryan's hero, and that's why this is going to work.

Want to play a round with Obama? You might just win
Top 150 golfers in DC.
Top 150 golfers in DC.
by Jon Bernstein Published
This is hardly the "Ping Pong Diplomacy" of the early 1970s but today's 18 rounds between the US president and Republican House Speaker John Boehner is being hailed, by the Daily Beast for one, as "Obama's Golf Diplomacy".
The long-planned summit has turned into a de facto negotiating session over government spending aimed at trying to strike a deal on raising the U.S. debt limit before America defaults in early August.
The two men will be joined by Vice President Joe Biden and John Kasich, the Republican Governor of Ohio.
More important, however, is the likely outcome of the contest. Handily, Golf Digest has produced a list of the top 150 golfers from Washington's political scene.
According to the list Obama (with a 17 handicap) is ranked joint 108th while Boehner is 43rd with a 7.9 rating. Out in front is Biden, 29th on the overall list with a 6.3 handicap.
Which brings us to the last golfing president, George W Bush, who memorably took time out from his busy schedule to comment on matters of grave import before inviting us to marvel at his swing.

MADISON — Wisconsin Attorney General J.B. Van Hollen announced that Todd M. Frisbie of Fremont, Wisconsin, was sentenced today in Winnebago County Circuit Court to ten years probation with one year in the county jail as a condition of probation, a one thousand dollar fine and 75 hours per year of community service after Frisbie's conviction for Homicide By Intoxicated Use of a Vehicle.
The case arose from Frisbie's involvement in the death of Alan Richards, of Holland, MI, in a boat crash on Lake Buttes des Morts in Winnebago County on June 6, 2005. Mr. Richards was killed when Frisbie drove his boat at a high rate of speed into the shoreline of Lake Buttes des Morts at about 11:30 p.m. Mr. Richards, Frisbie, and a third man all were ejected from the boat. Frisbie's blood alcohol concentration was measured at .156 g/ml of blood, almost double the legal limit of .08.
On October 7, 2011, following a seven day trial, Frisbie was found guilty by a jury of Homicide By Intoxicated Use of a Vehicle, Homicide By Intoxicated Use of a Vehicle With a Prohibited Alcohol Concentration, and Homicide By Negligent Operation of a Vehicle. Wisconsin law, however, permits sentencing on only one of the charges for which Frisbie was convicted by the jury. Following the conviction, Judge Thomas J. Gritton ordered the preparation of a Presentence Investigation Report.
The Winnebago County Sheriff's Department investigated the case, with assistance from the Technical Reconstruction Unit of the Wisconsin State Patrol and the Wisconsin State Crime Laboratory. Victim witness services were provided by the Wisconsin Department of Justice Office of Crime Victim Services.
The state was represented in this case by Assistant Attorney General Gary A. Freyberg, acting as Special Prosecutor for Winnebago County.

uTorrent uTP Protocol Goes Open Source
BitTorrent releases the improved protocol found in uTorrent 2.0
BitTorrent Inc. announced the move of uTP, the BitTorrent protocol behind uTorrent 2.0, into open source development. The most important improvement to uTP is the protocol's network awareness. In other words, a BitTorrent client using uTP can detect network congestion and throttle itself accordingly. Thereby removing the need for Internet Service Providers to throttle user bandwidth.
uTP's throttling capabilities have not been acknowledged by major ISPs, as they continue to detect torrent activity and throttle user bandwidth.
As expected, the network awareness feature has drawn ire from users who want the most seeds and the fastest download speed, but developers haven't been happy with the feature either. uTP comes with more overhead compared to the previous client and other minor bugs have been reported.
BitTorrent Inc.'s decision to open source uTP is a solution to the above complaints.
"uTP continues to evolve and open sourcing the code will be essential in its continued development and adoption," Jenna Broughton, BitTorrent spokesperson told TorrentFreak.
The uTP code can be found at GitHub, with all licensing and documentation in tow. uTP is written in C++ with the external interface written in C.

Product description
"Patter" is the term given by flying instructors to the language they use whilst demonstrating training exercises in the air. It is a very special language as it has to be precisely co-ordinated with control movements and absolutely lucid. "Patter" is also a picture language because the art of flying is largely about visual cues. The good flying instructor should know these cues and a prime object of this book is to highlight them, not only in the text, but with matching pictures as seen from the cockpit. "The Patter book" is the first flying manual ever to record verbatim the language of the flying instructor as spoken in the air.

Editorial: This is the year for education reform action
Education is a process, and a very complex one at that.
So, it is understandable that educators, parents and the public spend much of their time focused on the process — from school hours to teacher training and course work to extracurricular activities.
But we also have to look at the results.
How do we score on producing graduates with the knowledge and skills to get a good job and/or succeed in higher education? For West Virginia's public elementary and secondary schools, the answer to that question is "not very well."
Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin outlined the evidence last Wednesday night in his State of the State address:
n Education Week magazine's annual survey ranks West Virginia 49th in student achievement.
n On the Nation's Report Card, West Virginia students rank below the national average in 21 out of 24 categories, and some scores have been slipping.
But if you are not impressed by standardized tests, consider these measures:
n More than 20 percent of high school freshmen do not graduate.
n West Virginia leads the nation in the percentage of 16-19 years old who neither work nor go to school.
n Many of those who do graduate need remedial instruction to do community college or university course work, and even with those extra classes, many never graduate.
This is all disappointing, especially when you consider that West Virginia ranks above the national average on education spending.
As Tomblin put it last week, "education in West Virginia must change," and the governor has focused his reform proposal on a very important results-oriented goal — all third-grade students should be reading on the third-grade level.
That is critical because after the third grade, students must read well to succeed in all the other courses they will take. Students who don't read well are much more likely to do poorly in school or drop out.
Of course, the devil is in the details about how you meet that third-grade standard. Tomblin's strategies include improved teacher training and a range of support for early childhood education and development, including full-day pre-school across the state in three years and funds for child care.
The governor also proposed doing more to engage students and help them understand the connection between school and getting a good job. He recommends more continuing education for teachers, more local control for school districts and taking advantage of technology to deliver education more efficiently.
There will be many specifics to debate and many questions to answer in the coming weeks, but Tomblin has targeted the right goals.
The West Virginia General Assembly is poised to take a big step to improve student achievement and ultimately the workforce and the future of the economy. Let's just hope lawmakers get the job done this year.

AUGUST 24 2007 13:19h
Randy Couture and Gabriel Gonzaga will fight for the title of UFC champion in Las Vegas on Sunday.
It was an official press conference ahead of the fight of the year. Yesterday Randy Couture, a 44-year-old with a UFC heavyweight champion belt and Gabriel Napao Gonzaga, a Brazilian who turned the limelight off Mirko Filipovic towards himself in Manchester stood in front of reporters.
Betting offices in Las Vegas favour the Brazilian, not by much, but still give him the advantage. But Couture is a man of the people and a man for the people. A good guy of the UFC, Americans would say.
The biggest champion ever to have fought in the UFC.
That is how the organisation's head, Dana White, introduced Couture. And added:
Also the biggest person to ever have entered the octagon.
Randy Couture truly deserves all those attributes, commendations. We were convinced of that in Manchester, he did not refuse any reporter. He stopped and talked to everyone. He was also very good at the press conference in Las Vegas.
They have doubted in me since I was 37 and I have no problem with that, Couture said.
He told the story of his beginnings in the UFC, his rebirth.
I was watching an event on TV, there were some 1,000 spectators and the fight was better than in the octagon. I immediately sent a text message to President White and said that I want to return because the heavyweight category is very poor. I wanted to help.
White 'gave' him Tim Silva, then champion. Couture did not complain and won the match in which he was the underdog, nobody gave him a chance.
And now at 44 I like proving people wrong.
Gonzaga was not of big words. Maybe it was because of his lack of knowledge of the English language, although he makes an effort, perhaps out of respect. And Couture deserves it.
Without a doubt he is the best challenger for the title. He also has a black belt in jiu jitsu and nobody can contest that, Dana White said about the Brazilian.
It came to light that before his first match against Kevin Jordan, he had lost his child. He never mentioned that, never looked for an alibi. This paid back today.
Early Sunday morning (at around 4 AM Central European Time) he faces a match of his life, the continuation of the story that originated in Manchester. The fight for the heavyweight title, 44-year-old randy Couture (15-8-0) against 28-year-old Gonzaga (8-1-0).
Many agree that the fight will go on for five rounds, in which case Couture's chances increase drastically. He has more endurance and is also difficult to knock down, which Gonzaga hopes to do.
The Mandalay Bay Hotel in Las Vegas will answer all the questions on Sunday morning. Gonzaga or Couture, that is the question…

Sanibel Sunrise to SunsetPosted by: | Comments
Sunrise on Sanibel is such a beautiful sight at Lighthouse Beach, I always tell myself I need to get out there in the morning more often.
As I was shelling at the waters edge, I met a family enjoying the cool morning while collecting shells along the same path. Rick, Cindy, Sarah, Harley (she's peek-a-boo-ing between her mom and dad's legs- heehee) and Richard from Virginia were tickled with their finds.
Cindy found a beautiful PAPER FIG and ANGEL WING while Rick was finding juvie WHELKS, CONCHS and pieces of shells with cool BARNCLES attached…
Cindy found this awesome BRITTLE STAR on the beach which we thought was too dry to still be alive but while we inspected him and all ooohed and aaahed, the little guy started waving one of his arms to tell us he still had some life in him. Omigosh! He needed water! Cindy hurried to get this guy back to the Gulf Of Mexico.
Sarah found her first WENTLETRAP!
I should have known I would see award winning SAILORS VALENTINE artist Constance Miller shelling at the lighthouse because the Sanibel Shell Festival this week. She loves to find her own WENTLETRAPS and other mini shells to use in her gorgeous designs.
Clark and I walked just south of Bowman's Beach to catch sunset and saw the perfect Sanibel Stooper shelling the sand bar just as the sun reached the horizon. So beautiful!
Just after I snapped the photo, that Sanibel Stooper walked back towards the beach so I approached him to tell him I got a fun photo of him at sunset. Holy Cowrie! It was Rick again! LOL Yes, that was the same Rick that I had just met in the morning shelling at Lighthouse Beach. He and his son Richard (Marley's dad) were still shelling but this time near Bowman's too. It's a small island, huh?
These are just a few goodies they pulled out of their shell bag. Lots of treasure!
If you are near Sanibel Island this week Thursday- Saturday (March 6,7,8 2014) you shouldn't miss the 77th Sanibel Shell Festival. It will be lots of fun AND…. I am entering into the show for the very first time. I have two pieces that will be judged in the artistic division so I will definitely show you pictures later in the week after they have been judged. Yes, judged… Ack! Pressure! Please wish me good luck! And of course I will be blogging about all of the other exhibits as well. I hope to see you there!
Tropical Summer Of SanibelPosted by: | Comments
After late afternoon rain showers in the summer tropics of Sanibel when the setting sun peeks out from the clouds, the colors of the sky seem to magnify the brilliant colors of the water, beach, sand and shells.
I didn't find many empty shells along the middle island beach of Sanibel but I made up for it finding the perfect SAND DOLLAR. Or maybe I was so amazed by the living SEALIFE that I couldn't focus on picking up shells. I'm still in awe over the baby KINGS CROWNS so my focus has been on stopping at every living thing to inspect it closely just to make sure I dont miss anything. WOW! I usually walk right on by the SEA ANEMONES at low tide trying to find half buried shells but this one stopped me in my tracks. Look at the color of this one! The shallow water waved the tentacles back and forth so I could get a view of it's magical dance.
The turquoise blue color caught my eye on this different one. I think it's a SEA ANEMONE because of the size, shape and texture but I never saw it open (I waited for about 15 minutes) and it didn't retract when I gently touched it. Hmmmm. Something new again. Have you ever seen one this color?
I found this BRITTLE STAR wrapped up like a ball in the water that was lapping up on the beach. "He" looked like he had seen better days but I untangled him then placed him in shallow water without the wave action. He started coming alive again! You can see he is already starting to bury himself in the sand.
I could have taken hundreds of photos of live sea creatures during the low tide evenings this week but to experience such beautiful late afternoons with the cool breeze says it all in this next photo. It takes my breath away. Happy weekend to you all.
The Calm Before Tropical Storm Andrea On Fort Myers BeachPosted by: | Comments
Tropical Storm Andrea gave Southwest Florida pounding rain all day yesterday (and a little the day before) but didn't seem to do much damage (if any … that I heard). It looks like we will have another round of heavy rain and wind today but before another storm band comes through again, I'll try to take a peak at a couple of beaches to see if the site of shell piles rolling up on the shores look promising. If I hear thunder? We'll have to wait it out and check the beaches when it settles again. Until then, I'll show you what I found Tuesday evening at low tide on Fort Myers Beach just before the storm hit.
Yep, I said Fort Myers Beach! I had to be there Tuesday afternoon to meet somebody so I snuck out to the south end of the beach to see if there were shells. Oh my! I'd say YES!
As soon as I stepped on the beach, Linda from New Jersey was thrilled to show me all of her shells and SAND DOLLARS. I was amazed to see so many SAND DOLLARS!
Then I walked further down the beach to see Wesley from Kentucky holding up this huge LIGHTNING WHELK. Wow!
He had just met Ace (also from Kentucky) and his his wife (she's camera shy) as they became fast friends finding out they had so much in common. Both being shellers from Kentucky was just a start!
Can you believe how many SAND DOLLARS Ace had in this bag? They were everywhere!
Look how happy this next family is! They all came from West Virginia to be together for a family reunion on Fort Myers Beach. That's my kind of family reunion- shorts and tee shirts wading around in the water at the beach finding treasures together. Let me introduce you to this awesome family. From left to right… Jackie, Matt, Nancy, Charlie, Mike, Marc, Mollie, Lydia, Savannah and Michelle.
They combined all their loot then they will share it all later. What a wonderful idea.
Although… I didnt share the ALPHABET CONE I found. Oops! LOL
Nobody could have pried this next gem out of my hand either. I found a GOLDEN OLIVE! Boom Shellalaka! I still cant believe it. The lip is just a little bit ragged but the color- Oh, the color is spectacsheller.
I also found a MINOR JACKKNIFE on this beach. We've found these before but I dont think I've ever found one on Sanibel. Interesting, right?
And of course I found a few SAND DOLLARS too.
I saw lots of live MILLEPEDE STARFISH scooting along in the tidal pools….
And a beautiful dried BRITTLE STAR was mixed in with shell crumbles. I didn't have a safe place to put it to get it home in one piece, so I left him on the beach.
It was funny to me that I didn't find lots of the same shells. Yes, there were plenty of SAND DOLLARS… but it's like I found one cool shell after another. Just one of a kind. Like this one ANGEL WING.
Can you identify this next half buried shell? Would you have seen it? I know who else would have seen it… Cheri B! LOL Remember? She picked up the SPINY JEWELBOX I missed in a video finding an ALPHABET CONE. Crazy!
As much as I hate to admit it, this is first time I've ever shelled on the south end of Fort Myers Beach near the "lagoons"… but it wont be my last! I had a blast!
But what I really can't wait for is…. to see what Tropical Storm Andrea left on our beaches! She came in with strong SSW winds from the Gulf Of Mexico to blow through Southwest Florida so I'm sure most every beach on the island will have some good shells by sometime this weekend. When? Where? What? It's hard to pinpoint because all storms are so different. But… since Andrea came in from the southwest, Lighthouse Beach would be a logical start. Although I'm excited to scout every beach, my experience with past storms tells me the waves will still be too rough for the shells to pile up on the beach just yet. But this is what's fun… following the clues. I'm going to follow clues of areas collecting PEN SHELLS or other sea debris or BEACH BLING to narrow down the search for shells for this fabulous treasure hunt Andrea has given us. I'll keep you posted!
PS- I'm just gonna go ahead and keep reminding everybody until the 15th … Enter To Win a Shelling Vacation on Sanibel! CLICK HERE!

AAFP members can ask a question at the Practice Management Help Desk.
Asia Blunt, MBA, CPC
Practice Management Strategist
This six-minute presentation quickly helps you learn how to calculate your practice's denial rate. After watching this presentation, you will know how to:
The denial rate represents the percentage of claims denied by payers during a given period. This metric quantifies the effectiveness of your revenue cycle management processes. A low denial rate indicates cash flow is healthy, and fewer staff members are needed to maintain that cash flow.
Best Practice Tips
To calculate your practice's denial rate, add the total dollar amount of claims denied by payers within a given period and divide by the total dollar amount of claims submitted within the given period.
Failure to identify mistakes prior to claim submission. Mistakes made during coding and charge entry can result in claims that are adjudicated and rejected by a payer. Establishing an internal process to identify and correct any mistakes prior to claim submission will decrease denial rates and produce a healthier cash flow.

Islanders men find confidence, back-to-back wins to wrap home slate
Wilson touts 'quality brand of basketball'
CORPUS CHRISTI - A month ago — actually maybe even a week back — Texas A&M-Corpus Christi would have buckled in the face of the situation.
But the newfound confidence of the Islanders men's basketball team carried over to Saturday night, even in the process of losing a nine-point lead late in the second half.
A&M-Corpus Christi, which earlier in the season gave away second-half leads almost as regularly as setting foot on the court, kept its composure, stayed within the system and came away with back-to-back Southland Conference victories.
Will Nelson continued his smart, selective play, and sophomore point guard Johnathan Jordan broke a tie game with a floater in the lane with little more than a minute left and then sealed the contest with a pair of free throws to give the Islanders a 68-64 victory over Nicholls at the American Bank Center.
"I think two and a half, three weeks ago, it would have been a struggle — a month ago for sure," A&M-Corpus Christi coach Willis Wilson said. "But we're showing we can play a quality brand of basketball and make better decisions. It's been a long time coming, but I think three, three and a half weeks ago we would have had trouble winning this game."
Wilson exhorted his team not to take its foot off the gas after the Islanders grabbed a 50-41 lead on a Brandon Pye 3-pointer with 10:13 left. But behind Fred Hunter, the Colonels' 6-foot-5, 240-pound wing who again made life miserable for A&M-Corpus Christi (6-21, 5-11) with 25 points, Nicholls (8-19, 7-9) pushed back and took the lead less than three minutes later.
The Colonels had a 57-52 lead. It was a 16-2 run, something that would have knocked the Islanders out of the gym in the past.
"We kind of took our foot off the pedal and got a little lackadaisical," said Nelson, who finished with 23 points on 9-of-10 shooting. "We're developing a sense of urgency about it. We lost it for a second. We got it back and were like, 'We're not losing this game.' We had blown a lot of leads. We finally came together."
A&M-Corpus Christi could have wilted under the pressure. The Islanders had given up plenty of second-half leads this season and had let one slide a week ago against Cal State Fullerton.
Instead, Nelson matched Nicholls' 3-point shooters and Hunter, who entered Saturday averaging 20 points a game in his career against A&M-Corpus Christi. The Islanders junior wing scored eight of his team's final 14 points, including a pair of 3-pointers.
It was back and forth for a while. The teams were tied four times in the closing 5:31.
"I'm a competitor, and I love that," Nelson said of the game's flow. "It would be nice to blow someone out every night but it would take the fun out of the game. It was fun tonight."
Coming off a dominating showing against Southeastern Louisiana on Thursday, A&M-Corpus Christi players were confident. While the team isn't eligible for the Southland tournament, there is a feeling they can tear through the league standings and ruin opponents' hopes.
"We're definitely maturing as the season comes to an end," said Jordan, who just missed a double-double with 16 points and nine assists. "We want to hopefully spoil some parties. We just have to continue to grind."
Jordan spoiled the Colonels' position in the Southland standings, making his trademark floating shot with 1:17 left as the shot clock was winding down to push his team out of the 11th tie of the game and into the 66-64 lead. The Islanders defense forced a bad shot air-ball on the other end and Jordan worked down the clock before being fouled.
He made both shots with 13.6 seconds left, essentially ending the game and showing his team could hold up well in tight spots.
"It's a whole 'nother level of maturity. It's recognizing the situation," Wilson said. "This has been costing us. This has been working for us. We have to embrace what works for us."
NICH (8-19, 7-9) — Horace 1-4 2-6 4, Thomas 5-11 1-2 12, Hunter 9-14 7-8 25, Rillieux 2-2 0-0 4, Carpenter 0-8 0-1 0, Torres 1-4 0-0 3, Maciel 2-3 0-0 6, West 0-0 0-0 0, Smith-Hyde 3-3 2-2 10. Totals: 23-49 12-18 64.

physicists, it is only now that philosophers have also come to recognize his innovative way of thinking.
Often emphasizing that he was not a solipsist, Eddington clearly stated that he believed in the existence of an external world. Nevertheless, he was convinced that our way of viewing it is limited by our biology. This conviction led him to the conclusion that science is, at least partly, subjective. His most memorable defense of this unpopular view was an analogy involving the meshsize of a fishnet.
Eddington imagined an ichthyologist investigating ocean life. He casts a net, with gaps two inches wide, into the water. When he retrieves his catch, he finds it full of fish, each more than two inches long. This leads him to generalize that no sea creature is smaller than two inches. By analogy, we retrieve from the sea of knowledge only what the mesh of our methodology allows. Other (smaller) things pass through. As Eddington pointed out, scientists are often boxed in by the boundaries of physical observation. They tend to discount what they can't directly perceive. Eddington emphasized this view when, continuing the tale of the ichthyologist, he related how difficult it can be to challenge improper scientific assumptions:
An onlooker may object that the first generalization is wrong. "There are plenty of sea creatures under two inches long, only your net is not adapted to catch them." The ichthyologist dismisses this objection contemptuously. "Anything uncatchable by my net is ipso facto outside the scope of ichthyological knowledge and is not part of the kingdom of fishes…. In short, what my net can't catch isn't fish." Or—to translate the analogy—"If you are not simply guessing, you are claiming a knowledge of the physical universe discovered in some other way than by the methods of physical science, and admittedly unverifiable by such methods. You are a metaphysician. Bah!
In Eddington's day, labels for various physical phenomena were starting to break down. As the Copenhagen interpretation of

Are the hills alive? Well, if they weren't before this movie, they sure are now. Take the premise from Maria von Trapp's life story and add songs and dancing and what do you have—magic! That's what Rodgers and Hammerstein must have discovered when they began adapting this story for the stage. And, shortly after its success on Broadway, Hollywood came calling and Rodgers and Hammerstein answered, taking director Robert Wise and writer Ernest Lehman along for the ride. If you don't like musicals, you might be advised to be especially leery of this one. The Sound of Music takes the sappiness and melodrama you normally find (in small amounts) in musicals to new heights. But, in this film with this story and with these characters, it just seems to work and I love it. Julie Andrews (never better) plays Maria, a young, fledging novice nun who just can't seem to make her convent life work with her rebellious and free-spirited personality. Christopher Plummer plays stern and ill-tempered Captain von Trapp, the head of a family for whom she governesses. Since I already said it was sappy, you can assume that a love story between these two unlikely people develops. Now seen as more of a children's film, this movie is very much for everyone. Sure, children like the singing and the fact that there are six kids in the cast. But, adults should also appreciate that this film, though a bit overdone, is one of the best examples of the Hollywood musical ever produced.
Posts Tagged: Austrian
A fabulously done Austrian film about a skilled counterfeiter who gets put in the counterfeiting section of a concentration camp during World War II. Him and a few select others are chosen to help the Nazis attempt to counterfeit both the British pound and the American dollar. The rapport among the men in the counterfeiting section is what intrigued me. Some were so sickened by helping the Nazis they came close to self-destruction. Some saw this "duty" as easy work…a way out of hard labor and even out of being killed. The performances are all spot-on and each of the characters is unique and very well-constructed…and even with the dark, grizzly subject matter, we keep watching because we have to find out how all of these characters end up. Any Holocaust film is tough to watch…and hard to say you really "like." I mean, can you "like" a film about death and atrocity? So, avoiding that, I will say this film is well-done and extremely powerful.

A Balanced Life
Hard Breathing Investigating Exercise-Induced Asthma
By DIANE RICHARD
Olympic cross-country skiers, although visions of health and fitness and stamina, are dogged by a frustrating though thankfully nonfatal condition: exercise-induced asthma (EIA).
Experts estimate that an astonishing -- and increasing -- number of cross country skiers are stricken with bouts of EIA. And elite skiers lead the pack; recent studies show that some 50 percent to 70 percent have experienced EIA.
That is at least double the occurrence of EIA among all Olympic winter sports athletes as a group and, starker still, between four to six times the rate in athletes who play, say, indoor basketball.
Yet sports physiologists emphasize that those afflicted with EIA, once treated, still can train effectively. They can compete or simply enjoy the sport.
Cold weather is the main source of trouble, experts believe.
"Cold, dry air is the very worst," says Dr. William O. Roberts, a family practice and sports medicine specialist who works in White Bear Lake, Minn. "That's true in Minnesota and nearly everywhere else the snow is fluffy and white and apparently heaven-sent for skiers", he adds.
EIA is characterized by a temporary narrowing of the airway that produces temporary bronchial asthma. EIA's symptoms include wheezing, coughing, prolonged expiration, rapid heart rate and tightness of the chest. Attacks tend to occur within three to eight minutes of pushing off or immediately following physical activity.
There are two schools of thought about the cause of EIA. One is the water loss theory, which holds that cold air, usually warmed and saturated with vapor by the nose and bronchi, is channeled instead through the mouth, where most vigorous breathing occurs during sports, thereby bypassing upper-airway conditioning. Thus, the upper airways of the lungs are forced to contribute water vapor, resulting in a loss of surface fluid and a change in pH that together create bronchial constriction.
Another theory may explain why EIA frequently occurs after exercise has ended. Adherents of the heat exchange theory believe that increased ventilation during vigorous exercise cools the airways, forcing the bronchial vessels to dilate to rewarm the airway once exercise is over. That activity gives rise to a bronchospasm, so it is said.
"It's either a loss of water or a cooling of the respiratory tree that makes a spasm and makes almost anyone wheeze," Roberts says.
Either way, EIA differs from chronic asthma because it occurs in otherwise healthy people who are active in cold weather.
"EIA is a reversible airway obstruction that occurs during or after exertion," writes Dr. Vincent J. Lacroix in the Nov. 1999 issue of The Physician and Sportsmedicine. "Exercise is the only stimulus for [sufferers'] asthma symptoms." (Lacroix's comprehensive article on EIA found at www.physsportsmed.com/issues/1999/11_99/lacroix.htm)
Though wheezing and chest tightness are classic symptoms of EIA, more subtle ones exist too. According to Lacroix, they include: chest discomfort, stomach ache, fatigue, feeling out of shape, inability to keep up with ski buddies and, simply, uninspired performance on the trail.
Sound like you? The best advice is to talk to a sports physician. A peak flow test and spirometry are just two of the ways doctors check an athlete's baseline pulmonary function to determine whether you suffer from EIA or something similar in appearance but requiring different treatment. For example, paradoxical vocal cord dysfunction may be confused with EIA.
One thing is clear: Our air is dirtier than ever and that's having an impact on the nation's respiratory health. Air quality is closely linked with EIA and chronic asthma, experts say. Smog, smoke, molds, pollen and other particulate matter in air have been scientifically connected with the skyrocketing rates of asthma among children and young adults, creating a country filled with kids for whom inhalers are regular accessories.
"Irritations in the air are probably part of increased incidence," Roberts says. "The air quality is bad. People are training in tough stuff." Indoor skaters encounter a special offender every time they practice: nitrous oxide emitted by the machines that smooth the ice rink's surface. (Roberts tells skaters to find rinks that employ electric ice cleaners.)
Roberts isn't sure whether diminishing air quality accounts for the startling rates of EIA, or if, at least in part, higher rates of the condition show up because today's diagnostic tools are better than before. Perhaps it's both.
- Nevertheless, he offers the following suggestions to keep EIA at bay or to handle an existing condition:
- First, avoid exercising unprotected in cold, dry air. Tie a scarf over your mouth to warm the air before it enters your lungs. The drawbacks? Comfort, primarily. "It obstructs the breathing and the face gets wet," Roberts says.
- Another idea is a good warmup. Fifteen minutes of moderate to intense activity has been shown to induce an EIA episode, then produce a refractory period that's largely symptom-free. "You have a refractory period of two to six hours," Roberts says, "so you're less likely to have [EIA] when you compete" or complete the trail ahead of you.
A third approach is use of medication to stop the bronchial spasm. Experts recommend two pharmaceuticals: Albuterol, a muscle relaxant; and Leukotriene, which inhibits the spasm. Some athletes use both, especially during competitive seasons, to improve their air exchange.
"But if you're a competitive athlete and may get tested, you would need to have documentation that you have true asthma," Roberts says. A patient of Roberts', an Olympic skier, had to establish that she has had EIA since childhood before she could compete.
- Finally, a slow cool-down period, instead of an abrupt stopping of activity, is advised. That slows your airway rewarming, minimizing the effects of an EIA attack.

Republican candidate Mark Obenshain has formally filed a petition requesting a recount in the race for attorney general.
Representatives of the Obenshain campaign filed the petition in Richmond Circuit Court Wednesday morning.
"We look forward to a process that is civil, that is fair, that respects the law and that gives Virginia voters confidence in the ultimate result," said Paul Logan, spokesman for the Obenshain campaign.
In official election returns certified this week, Obenshain lost to Democrat Mark Herring by 165 votes, out of a statewide total of about 2.2 million votes cast. In the last statewide recount in 2005, 37 votes were changed, according to Herring's campaign.
In a conference call with reporters Wednesday, Obenshain's legal team said that the recount will likely focus on "undervotes" — ballots on which a vote was recorded for some races but not others.
Unlike the 2005 recount, which was also for the position of attorney general, all optical scan ballots will have to be scanned again, with the machines programmed to spit out any undervote ballots, said Stephen Piepgrass, an attorney with Troutman Sanders who is representing Obenshain.
State law regarding recounts was changed in 2008 in an effort led by Sen. Creigh Deeds (D-Dist. 25), who was on the losing end of the 2005 recount.
Those ballots will then be examined by hand to determine whether the voter attempted to mark a vote in the attorney general's race that wasn't picked up by the optical scan machine, said Ashley Taylor, another lawyer from Troutman Sanders who is part of the legal team.
Any disputed ballots will be sealed and sent to Richmond for the special three-judge recount panel to review, Piepgrass said.
There are an estimated 50,000 undervoted ballots statewide, according to some analysts. Logan said that is the assumption the campaign is working under.
In a released statement, Herring said he respects Obenshain's right to request a recount but is still moving ahead as if he is the attorney general-elect.
"His tactics, however, will not impede our efforts to build the finest team to serve all Virginians in the Office of Attorney General or prepare for the 2014 legislative session," Herring said.
The recount process is expected to begin in mid-December, with the actual counting expected to take two days in some larger jurisdictions and additional time required for setting the rules of the recount and reviewing disputed ballots.

For eight years now, the Authors Guild has been accusing Google of violating copyright on an industrial scale by digitizing libraries and uploading their contents to the web. Google says it's been performing a service to society and respecting the rights of authors in the balance.
Who's right? Google is, says U.S. Circuit Court Judge Denny Chin.
On Thursday morning, Chin issued a 30-page ruling that declared Google's actions protected under the legal doctrine of fair use, which permits limited reproduction of copyrighted works for purposes of scholarship and commentary. In the ruling, embedded in full by Gigaom's Jeff John Roberts, Chin writes that Google Books "provides significant public benefits. It advances the progress of the arts and sciences,while maintaining respectful consideration for the rights of authors and other creative individuals, and without adversely impacting the rights of copyright holders."
In fact, he said, Google is helping authors by introducing their work to new readers while providing adequate protection against unauthorized copying or downloading of the scanned books. While the entire contents of a scanned book are searchable, a search user can only read small portions.
Needless to say, the Authors Guild disagrees with Chin's analysis. In a blog post headlined "Round One To Google," the Guild vowed to continue the fight by filing an appeal.
Still, Google didn't get everything it wanted, quite. Initially, the search giant had hoped to be able to profit directly by selling copies of so-called "orphan books" — out-of-print titles with no known copyright holder. In 2009, Google, the Authors Guild and the Association of American Publishers reached a settlement that would have permitted Google to sell orphaned works while sharing the proceeds with the plaintiffs, but the courts rejected the settlement and insisted that the question of fair use be litigated to a conclusion.

Four Charged In Abduction And Murder
By KRWG News
El Paso – Four men have been charged with aggravated kidnapping charges in the September 2009 abduction of an El Paso-area man later found dismembered on a Mexican street.
Brothers Omar and Cesar Obregon, both 21, are jailed in the kidnapping of Sergio Saucedo. Still on the loose are 26-year-old Rafael Vega and Ricardo Puentes Morales, whose age is uncertain.
El Paso County sheriff's spokesman Jesse Tovar said Thursday that Puentes is believed to be the mastermind. He says the Obregons were arrested Tuesday by U.S. Border Patrol agents who spotted them trying to break into a house.
The Obregons are in El Paso County Jail with bonds set at $250,000 each.
Saucedo, who was 30, was kidnapped from his Horizon City house outside El Paso. His mutilated body was found days later across the Rio Grande in Ciudad Juarez, Mexico.

The suspicion is on two counts — that he happened to be in both places and survived both blasts, and that he told a TV channel he had come to Dilsukhnagar for a cup of tea when he lives in Kalapathar locality, a good 7km away.
"We can't rule out anything. He might be part of them or might have helped them," said one official.
Mirza — who hawks T-shirts by the roadside — is being treated for injuries to his back and abdomen, and doctors said he might suffer serious damage to his spinal cord. He had lost his left leg in the 2007 blast.
The police also picked up six persons for questioning — though they neither confirmed nor denied the arrests — and hope to get more leads from footage caught by the Dilsukhnagar bus junction CCTV, which had not been working for the past three months but was repaired just hours before the explosions at 7pm.
Investigators suspect the Sai Baba temple in the locality was the original target as thousands visit it on Thursdays. But heavy police presence for commissioner Anurag Sharma's visit to the shrine at 6pm for pujas may have led to a last-minute change in plans with the tiffin-box bombs being planted near the Konark and Venkatadri theatres instead.
Two more persons died of their injuries on Friday, taking the toll to 16. More than 100
people were injured and six are said to be critical.
The Sai temple had been attacked with similar tiffin bombs on November 21, 2002, resulting in two deaths.
In the city to meet the injured, union home minister Sushil Kumar Shinde said an all-inclusive investigation was in progress and that it was too early to blame any organisation or outfit. However, all signs point to the home-grown Indian Mujahideen.

So with the good ending where Cole dies I thought tthat if they did a 3rd game it could be a prequel.
I thought Kessler was bad ass and I think it'd be cool to do a prequel where the main character is Kessler. The opening could be him and his family devastated by the Beast and he goes back in time to stop it. The rest of the game would be about Kessler taking over the First Sons and trying to get everything set up for Cole in InFamous 1&2. It could have Assassin's Creed 2 style time jumps to different periods in Kessler's life and plan. Over the course of the game you can see his evolution from the family man wise cracking Cole to the cold hearted Kessler. This would allow Sucker Punch to do interesting things with Cole's powers seeing as how they changed as he aged.
They could also just dump Cole as a main character all together and have a conduit 40 years from now where they were born because of parents having heterozygous genes where the conduit gene is a recessive gene or from scientific experiments where the end result is someone with completely different powers.
What would you like to see for the future of InFamous if they were to make an InFamous 3?
So with the good ending where Cole dies I thought tthat if they did a 3rd game it could be a prequel.

Suning Commerce Group, China's biggest appliance retailer, said yesterday its net profit dropped by 48.2% to 492.8 million yuan, or $79 million, in the first three month of 2013 from a year earlier as it moved to integrate its traditional business and e-commerce businesses and expand its offerings.
Suning's sales in the first three months of the year totaled 27.2 billion yuan, an increase of 20% from last year. It predicted net profit in the first six months of the year would fall as much as 60% from a year earlier.
Suning, whose U.S. business partners in China include Microsoft Microsoft and Whirlpool Whirlpool, last year said it was working to broaden its traditional appliance offerings to become akin to Wal-Mart and Amazon. (Click here for a Forbes Asia cover about Suning's new strategy.) It competes with both in China, and recently changed its name from Suning Appliance Suning Appliance to reflect its new strategy and big push into e-commerce. China is poised to become the world's largest e-commerce market, according to a recent survey by consulting firm McKinsey.
Suning is among a number of big Chinese retailers reporting sharply lower profits in the first half of 2013 from a year earlier.
Suning's chairman Zhang Jindong ranked No. 412 on the 2013 Forbes Billionaires List with wealth of $3.3 billion.

The reason why those who are in Christ Jesus are not condemned is that the law of the spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set you free from the law of sin and death. God has done what the Law, because of our unspiritual nature, was unable to do. God dealt with sin by sending his own Son in a body as physical as any sinful body, and in that body God condemned sin. He did this in order that the Law's just demands might be satisfied in us, who behave not as our unspiritual nature but as the spirit dictates.
How shall the young remain sinless?
By obeying your word.
I have sought you with all my heart;
let me not stray from your commands.
I treasure your promise in my heart
lest I sin against you.
Blessed are you, O Lord;
teach me your statutes.
With my tongue I have recounted
the decrees of your lips.
I rejoiced to do your will
as though all riches were mine.
Jesus said, 'You are the salt of the earth. But if salt becomes tasteless, what can make it salty again? It is good for nothing, and can only be thrown out to be trampled underfoot by men.
'You are the light of the world. A city built on a hill-top cannot be hidden. No one lights a lamp to put it under a tub; they put it on the lamp-stand where it shines for everyone in the house. In the same way your light must shine in the sight of men, so that, seeing your good works, they may give the praise to your Father in heaven.
'Do not imagine that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets. I have come not to abolish but to complete them. I tell you solemnly, till heaven and earth disappear, not one dot, not one little stroke, shall disappear from the Law until its purpose is achieved. Therefore, the man who infringes even one of the least of these commandments and teaches others to do the same will be considered the least in the kingdom of heaven; but the man who keeps them and teaches them will be considered great in the kingdom of heaven.'

The whole community of the sons of Israel began to complain against Moses and Aaron in the wilderness and said to them, 'Why did we not die at the Lord's hand in the land of Egypt, when we were able to sit down to pans of meat and could eat bread to our heart's content! As it is, you have brought us to this wilderness to starve this whole company to death!'
Then the Lord said to Moses, 'Now I will rain down bread for you from the heavens. Each day the people are to go out and gather the day's portion; I propose to test them in this way to see whether they will follow my law or not.
'I have heard the complaints of the sons of Israel. Say this to them, "Between the two evenings you shall eat meat, and in the morning you shall have bread to your heart's content. Then you will learn that I, the Lord, am your God."'
And so it came about: quails flew up in the evening, and they covered the camp; in the morning there was a coating of dew all round the camp. When the coating of dew lifted, there on the surface of the desert was a thing delicate, powdery, as fine as hoarfrost on the ground. When they saw this, the sons of Israel said to one another, 'What is that?' not knowing what it was. 'That' said Moses to them 'is the bread the Lord gives you to eat.'
The things we have heard and understood,
the things our fathers have told us,
these we will not hide from their children
but will tell them to the next generation:
the glories of the Lord and his might
and the marvellous deeds he has done,
Yet he commanded the clouds above
and opened the gates of heaven.
He rained down manna for their food,
and gave them bread from heaven.
Mere men ate the bread of angels.
He sent them abundance of food;
So he brought them to his holy land,
to the mountain which his right hand had won.
I want to urge you in the name of the Lord, not to go on living the aimless kind of life that pagans live. Now that is hardly the way you have learnt from Christ, unless you failed to hear him properly when you were taught what the truth is in Jesus. You must give up your old way of life; you must put aside your old self, which gets corrupted by following illusory desires. Your mind must be renewed by a spiritual revolution so that you can put on the new self that has been created in God's way, in the goodness and holiness of the truth.
When the people saw that neither Jesus nor his disciples were there, they got into those boats and crossed to Capernaum to look for Jesus. When they found him on the other side, they said to him, 'Rabbi, when did you come here?'
Jesus answered:
'I tell you most solemnly,
you are not looking for me because you have seen the signs
but because you had all the bread you wanted to eat.
Do not work for food that cannot last,
but work for food that endures to eternal life,
the kind of food the Son of Man is offering you,
for on him the Father, God himself, has set his seal.'
Then they said to him, 'What must we do if we are to do the works that God wants?' Jesus gave them this answer, 'This is working for God: you must believe in the one he has sent.' So they said, 'What sign will you give to show us that we should believe in you? What work will you do? Our fathers had manna to eat in the desert; as scripture says: He gave them bread from heaven to eat.' Jesus answered:
'I tell you most solemnly,
it was not Moses who gave you bread from heaven,
it is my Father who gives you the bread from heaven,
the true bread;
for the bread of God
is that which comes down from heaven
and gives life to the world.'
'Sir,' they said 'give us that bread always.' Jesus answered:
'I am the bread of life.
He who comes to me will never be hungry;
he who believes in me will never thirst.'

The sons of Israel began to wail, 'Who will give us meat to eat?' they said. 'Think of the fish we used to eat free in Egypt, the cucumbers, melons, leeks, onions and garlic! Here we are wasting away, stripped of everything; there is nothing but manna for us to look at!'
The manna was like coriander seed, and had the appearance of bdellium. The people went round gathering it, and ground it in a mill or crushed it with a pestle; it was then cooked in a pot and made into pancakes. It tasted like cake made with oil. When the dew fell on the camp at night-time, the manna fell with it.
Moses heard the people wailing, every family at the door of its tent. The anger of the Lord flared out, and Moses greatly worried over this. And he spoke to the Lord:
'Why do you treat your servant so badly? Why have I not found favour with you, so that you load on me the weight of all this nation? Was it I who conceived all this people, was it I who gave them birth, that you should say to me, "Carry them in your bosom, like a nurse with a baby at the breast, to the land that I swore to give their fathers"? Where am I to find meat to give to all this people, when they come worrying me so tearfully and say, "Give us meat to eat"? I am not able to carry this nation by myself alone; the weight is too much for me. If this is how you want to deal with me, I would rather you killed me! If only I had found favour in your eyes, and not lived to see such misery as this!'
My people did not heed my voice
and Israel would not obey,
so I left them in their stubbornness of heart
to follow their own designs.
O that my people would heed me,
that Israel would walk in my ways!
At once I would subdue their foes,
turn my hand against their enemies.
The Lord's enemies would cringe at their feet
and their subjection would last for ever.
But Israel I would feed with finest wheat
and fill them with honey from the rock.
When Jesus received the news of John the Baptist's death he withdrew by boat to a lonely place where they could be by themselves. But the people heard of this and, leaving the towns, went after him on foot. So as he stepped ashore he saw a large crowd; and he took pity on them and healed their sick.
When evening came, the disciples went to him and said, 'This is a lonely place, and the time has slipped by; so send the people away, and they can go to the villages to buy themselves some food.' Jesus replied, 'There is no need for them to go: give them something to eat yourselves.' But they answered 'All we have with us is five loaves and two fish.' 'Bring them here to me' he said. He gave orders that the people were to sit down on the grass; then he took the five loaves and the two fish, raised his eyes to heaven and said the blessing. And breaking the loaves handed them to his disciples who gave them to the crowds. They all ate as much as they wanted, and they collected the scraps remaining; twelve baskets full. Those who ate numbered about five thousand men, to say nothing of women and children.

Heifer International Committee
"Heifer" at The Ohio State University College of Veterinary Medicine
Christian Veterinary Fellowship (CVF) started the Heifer project with the goal of raising $5,000 for the purchase of a "Gift Ark", which provided 15 pairs of animals to change the lives of people around the world. CVF formed a committee of members and non-members and involved other clubs. The committee successfully reached the goal of $5,000 for the first year. To increase visibility of Heifer at OSU, CVF and SCAVMA arranged for the project to be placed under the greater umbrella of SCAVMA. This provides a recurring supply of motivated volunteers and a budget which allows for investing in more fundraising efforts.
As of the fall of 2009, the Heifer committee is a part of the Community Outreach Committee of SCAVMA. This is a wonderful way to raise awareness for Heifer International and it provides motivation for people to take part in this project, and promotes global awareness among the student body. With the busyness of our culture and veterinary school, it is easy to forget about people living in developing nations, but Heifer provides an opportunity for students to get involved and to serve those less fortunate when traveling overseas is not an option. Providing animals to these people in need is life changing for the citizens of developing nations and students alike. Those in developing nations are in desperate need of animals for their survival. Veterinary students need to develop a life-changing understanding of how crucial animals are to those in need and how important our professional skills are to these developing countries. Ultimately, we envision that some of those who participate in Heifer will have the opportunity to visit and serve the very countries to which we provide animals.
If you have any questions please feel free to contact The Ohio State University College of Veterinary Medicine SCAVMA Heifer International Team!

New Oyster Creek tritium contamination data posted
Posted By Todd B. Bates On October 13, 2010 @ 12:02 pm In Uncategorized | Comments Disabled
For the first time in three months, the state has posted new results [1]on tritium levels in ground water at the Oyster Creek nuclear power plant [2] in Lacey.
Plant officials discovered tritium leaks in April and August 2009 and stopped them.
As of Aug. 11, the level of radioactive tritium in one well in the Cohansey aquifer was about 600,000 picocuries per liter, down from about 1.2 million picocuries in December, according to the state Department of Environmental Protection [4].
The government limit for tritium [5] in water is 20,000 picocuries. The Cohansey is a source of drinking water off-site, and tritium boosts the risk of getting cancer. Plant and government officials have said no tritium has been detected off-site.
Test results of water from eight deeper wells drilled in the Cohansey in June and July revealed about 11,000 picocuries in one well but less than detectable levels in the others, according to the DEP.
Two more wells were drilled in July and results will be posted when they become available, according to the DEP.
The DEP has updated a map showing well locations [6].
Plant owner Exelon has agreed to begin cleaning up the contamination [7], according to the DEP.

Video:Quick Tip: How to Avoid the "Freshman 15"with Michelle Wilson
Most new college students have heard of and are trying to avoid gaining their "Freshman 15." This About.com video will offer some tips on keeping the weight off when you start out at college.See Transcript
Transcript:Quick Tip: How to Avoid the "Freshman 15"
Hi, I'm Michelle Wilson for About.com. Today I'm going to talk to you about how to avoid the dreaded "Freshman 15."
Eating Well at School
First and foremost, you must be mindful of your intake. At dining halls, you might be tempted by soda or soft serve ice cream machines, expansive dessert areas, and all the chicken tenders you can eat. While it's alright to indulge once in a while, try to stick to water, the salad bar, and a single plate of food rather than going back for seconds or thirds.
If you must dine late, opt for a piece of fruit or a granola bar instead of pizza or Chinese food. Your wallet will like this decision too.
Stay Physically Active to Keep Weight Off
Second, try to stay physically active. Many colleges provide ways to accomplish this, including an on campus gym, intramural sports teams and clubs, and the need to walk around campus to get to class.
If you watch what you eat and exercise regularly, you'll be well on your way to avoiding the "Freshman 15." Thanks for watching. For more information, please visit About.com.

The College of Charleston's Board of Trustees voted today to approve a tuition increase of 3.16 percent for in-state undergraduate students and a 5.5 percent increase for out-of-state undergraduate students for the 2013-2014 academic year.
For 2013-2014, undergraduate South Carolina students will pay $10,230 in annual tuition. Out-of-state students will pay $26,694.
Graduate school tuition will be $11,254 for in-state residents and $29,364 for out-of-state residents.
"We are mindful of the impact rising tuition costs have on College of Charleston families, and have worked hard to minimize the increase," said board chairman Greg Padgett in a news release.
