This is my second tonneau cover, the only other I've had was a Retrax. For the money this one certainly does the trick. It's good and sturdy, and most importantly no box wasting valuable bed space. Very easy installation even for a non-mechanically inclined person like myself. I'm deducting a star because in the summer this thing gets HOT even with guards on the side. Also it's sturdy but not quite in the same league as my old Retrax.

Finding the Right Path
By Kenneth Ender, Ph.D.
On March 19 - the day before the official start of spring my dog, Sammy, and I were on the trails at Parvin State Park. Its been a tough winter for Sammy and me, since my herniated disc has slowed down our running substantially. However, Im pleased to report that the disc is better and the running schedule has become a bit more regular, which makes Sam and I - and all who live with us - happier.
This morning it was hard to decide which path to take, since there are many to choose at Parvin. Short and circular? Long and straight? Long and hilly? Scenic? The possibilities are endless. We picked short and circular, since the winter has been long. And I spent most of the circuit thinking about the similarities between choosing the best path for us this morning and the questions we are currently posing at the Cumberland County College.
Some of you may recall Januarys column. The theme of that column was the colleges quest for greatness. Since that writing, I have had the opportunity to spend a couple of intense thinking-out-of-the-box days with our campus administrative staff. During that time, we discussed many paths we may take during the next five years. Would all paths lead to greatness? What is a great Cumberland County College, anyway?
Well friends, were seeking answers to these questions. And currently we have many more questions than answers. In fact, getting to the right questions is our top priority at this stage of our self-examination. We dont know the path we shall take; however, we know that the questions we should pose to ourselves have to do with more than Cumberland County College. We think they should be questions that address the college, the county and our country. They are questions that - if answered well - can help assure the success of many more of our county residents as measured by a life style that approximates the middle class or better. And they are questions that will lead to a Cumberland County College, a P-12 educational program, a One-Stop, and a Workforce Investment Board being better aligned with respect to assuring the economic vitality of our community.
So, just as the paths at Parvin are many, so are the possible paths for Cumberland County College. We believe that our path is directly tied to the success of our county. So, it is critical for us to choose the best one. In the months ahead, we will search for that path, articulate that path and align ourselves with other educational partners to assure the path is well traveled.
Stay tuned.

OK Uncle Ben - so when you come face to face with these dogs in a dark alley - let me know how concerned you are with the economy at that point. Sure there are more important things to worry about but it would be nice to be able to go outside and not worry about being attacked. Don't say it doesn't happen either - one of my close childhood friends nearly lost his life from a dog attack.
Are you sure this is what you would like to do?

I met this trashy individual when I was helping shoot some scenes in Vegas and I could never stop staring at his monstrous cock. Coincidentally he only lives a state over and was looking for some "work" so I was happy to help out. Normally I don't go for gay-for-pay guys because they're usually terrible at gay sex, but after watching him fuck so many other dudes I had to know what it was like to have that large penis in all of my orifices. It's was the best feeling to know it was torture for him and pure ecstasy for me. Featuring: Devin Totter & Jay Rising

ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) - Authorities say two young men who drove through Albany shooting people with a BB gun have been sentenced to prison.
Judge Dan Lamont sentenced 19-year-old Nicholas McGraw to eight years in state prison for first-degree attempted assault. Twenty-year-old Joshua Weldon got five years for second-degree assault.
Prosecutors say one victim suffered a permanent eye injury last December when the men fired from their vehicle.
A second victim was hit in the chin.
The next day, McGraw shot another passer-by in the thigh.
District Attorney P. David Soares says they were looking for "innocent victims" and should have known they would cause serious injuries.

Athenaeum Location
Other stories are full of references to strategies, tactics, offensives, retreats and blitzes. Why all the martial talk? In important ways, politics resembles warfare.
That's the theme of The Art of Political Warfare (2000), a new book by Professor John J. Pitney, Jr., from the University of Oklahoma Press. Applying military thought to domestic politics, the book persuasively argues that the writings of warriors and military analysts can teach us much about political activity.
The book discusses how military principles can explain victory or defeat in politics, whether for an election campaign or a legislative battle. Each chapter takes a single concept from the military- strategy, leadership, training, intelligence, deception, logistics, friction, and finality- and applies it to political concerns ranging from campaign war chests to legislative tactics.
In his Athenaeum lecture, the first in the series Faculty Ideas in Progress, Pitney will use the military perspective to tell how Governor Bush and Vice President Gore are waging political warfare- even though they claim they are not.
One of CMC's most distinguished professors, Pitney has twice received the Glenn R. Huntoon Award for Superior Teaching. He has served as Deputy Director of the Research Department for the Republican National Committee and was the senior domestic policy analyst for the U.S. House of Representatives Republican Research Committee. He is coauthor of Congress' Permanent Minority? Republicans in the U.S. House (1994).
Howard Figler is eminently qualified to lead this discussion. Formerly the director of the Career Center at the University of Texas at Austin and nationally known author of the bestselling book The Complete Job-Search Handbook (3rd ed., 1999, Henry Holt), Figler earned his Diplomate in Counseling Psychology from the American Board of Professional Psychology, his Ph.D. from Florida State University, his MBA from New York University, and his B.A. from Emory University.
Figler will focus his remarks on issues that may affect important choices you will make throughout your career at CMC. The importance of emotional intelligence, the reasons why a liberal education is good for you and your career, and how to use resources at CMC to your best advantage will all be part of the evening's discussion.
All members of the freshmen class have already been signed up to attend the dinner and lecture by Howard Figler. If you find that you are unable to attend the dinner, please contact the Athenaeum (ext. 18244) to cancel your reservation.The 6:00 dinner is preceded by a juice and cheese reception at 5:30 p.m. Dr. Figier will speak at 6:45 p.m. and the evening concludes by 8:00 p.m.
Schorr's career of more than six decades has earned him many awards for journalistic excellence, including three Emmys, and decorations from European heads of state. Civil liberties groups and professional organizations have also honored him for his defense of the First Amendment. In 1996, he received the most prestigious award in the field of broadcasting- the Alfred I. DuPont-Columbia University Golden Baton for "Exceptional Contributions to Radio and Television Reporting and Commentary."
His firsthand perspective on recent history broadens Schorr's analysis of current issues. In the U.S., he has covered government controversies ranging from Senator Joseph McCarthy's hearings on communism in 1953 to the Iran-Contra affair in the 1980s and 90s. Abroad, he has observed superpower summits from the Eisenhower-Khrushchev meeting in Geneva in 1955 to the Reagan-Gorbachev conference in Moscow in 1988.
In 1972, Schorr was assigned as CBS's chief Watergate correspondent. He unexpectedly found himself a part of his own story when the Senate hearings turned up President Nixon's "enemies list" with his name on it and evidence that the president had ordered him investigated by the FBI. This "abuse of a federal agency" figured as one count in the Bill of Impeachment on which Nixon would have been tried had he not resigned in August 1974.
Also in 1974, when the House of Representatives voted to suppress the final report of its investigations of CIA and FBI scandals, Schorr arranged for publication of the advance copy he had exclusively obtained. Suspended from CBS and threatened with jail for contempt, he refused to disclose his source on First Amendment grounds, saying that "to betray a source would mean to dry up many future sources for many future reporters.... It would mean betraying myself, my career, and my life." In the end, Congress decided against the contempt citation and CBS asked him to return; instead, he chose to resign in order to write his account of his stormy experience in his book Clearing the Air (1977). In his Athenaeum address, Schorr will discuss where journalists have gone wrong, why journalists rank so low with the public, and how journalism will survive the Internet.
Daniel Schorr's appearance at the Athenaeum is cosponsored by the Keck Center for Strategic and International Studies.

Between 1952 and 1955 Charles recorded a series of groundbreaking albums for Prestige and New Jazz, called "New Directions, Volumes 1-5." Charles developed a compositional approach to jazz, eschewing standards in favor of unfamiliar, original material. His concept was to fully integrate the written and improvised sections of a jazz performance to provide new contexts and challenges for the artist.
Charles was a participant in the Charles Mingus Jazz Cornposers Workshop which also included such major talents as George Russel, Gil Evans, John LaPorta, Teo Macer, and many others with an interest in composition and experimentation. He subsequently formed the Teddy Charles Tentet- an unusual ensemble made up of three saxophones, trumpet, tuba, guitar, vibraphone, and rhythm section- whose recordings for the Atlantic label in 1956 have become classics. This music, fortunately reissued on compact disc, remains fresh and full of surprises some forty-three years after its initial release.
This is a rare and wonderful opportunity to meet and hear a performance by one of the great jazz artists of all time. The American Jazz Institute chamber ensemble, directed by Mark Masters, will perform the music of the Teddy Charles Tentet.
Her book Typical American (1991) was a New York Times notable book of the year and a finalist for the National Book Critics' Circle Award. Her second novel, Mona in the Promised Land (1996) was also a New York Times notable book and the Los Angeles Times named it one of the ten best books of 1996. One critic writes, one of the greatest charms of Gish Jen's fiction is her position as a bemused chronicler- of the way things are in this crazy mishmash of an America, of the power and the limitations of family roots, and of the hugely comic potential in human nature.
Gish Jen has written for The Atlantic Monthly, The New Yorker, The New Republic, and The New York Times. A story of hers was one of the twenty recently chosen by John Updike for
Best American Short Stories of the Century (1999).
Gish Jen received her undergraduate degree in English from Harvard University in 1977, and an MFA from the Iowa Writers' Workshop in 1983. She comes to the Athenaeum as part of the series Crossing Borders.

The Capitol Steps make it easier to leave public office.
-President George Bush
The Capitol Steps are a troupe of Congressional staffers-turned-comedians who travel the country satirizing the very people and places that once employed them. Since they began, the Capitol Steps have recorded twenty albums, including their latest, "It's Not Over 'Til the First Lady Sings." They've been featured on NBC, CBS, ABC, and PBS and can be heard four times a year on National Public Radio stations nationwide during their "Politics Takes a Holiday" radio specials. The Capitol Steps have performed for the last four Presidents.
The Steps got their start in December 1981 at a Christmas party for the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, when three members of Illinois Republican Senator Charles Percy's staff were asked to provide entertainment. So they decided to dig into the headlines of the day, creating song parodies and skits that have become the group's signature brand of satirical humor.
Most cast members have worked on Capitol Hill; some for Democrats, some for Republicans, and others for politicians who firmly straddle the fence. In fact; the current cast of the Capitol Steps has at one time or another infested the offices of eleven U.S. Senators and seven Members of the House of Representatives. Most of these politicians have either been defeated or placed under investigation. No matter who holds office, there is never a shortage of material- political scandal, controversy, and missteps ensure that the Capitol Steps have plenty to sing about.
For all who suffer from politics-as-usual weariness or pre-election stress, the Office of the Dean of Students and the Athenaeum are bringing the Capitol Steps to CMC to remind everyone that fact is funnier than fiction. Come join the fun. Dinner is for CMC persons only. The performance is open to all.
The Chinese occupation forces reached the small nomadic encampment of Namgyal's family around 1957, bringing starvation and devastating thought-reform programs to Eastern Tibet. At age five or six, Namgyal escaped with neighbors and walked West across Tibet for two years. In Mustang, Nepal, the CIA-supported Tibetan guerilla force educated Namgyal and other boys (as noncombatants) in Buddhist scripture, foreign languages, and arithmetic, then sent them on to the first Tibetan-language schools established in India. Namgyal graduated from Delhi University in 1977 with a Bachelor of Commerce.
Asked to reconcile his devotion to the teachings of the Dalai Lama with his role in the Department of Security, Namgyal replied, "To protect His Holiness, you might have to use force against somebody, although His Holiness will not approve of that, but the life of His Holiness is more precious than anything else. You still pray for your enemy because his life is dear like your life."
Tashi Namgyal's visit to Claremont McKenna College is sponsored by the Keck Center for International and Strategic Studies.

The sealing strip includes a channel-shaped attachment profile of rubber, in which a metallic reinforcing strip is embedded; this profile has an external coating layer of sponge rubber with an outer surface rendered velvety by abrasion.
1. A process for manufacturing a sealing strip for vehicle bodies comprising a channel-shaped attachment profile of solid rubber having embedded therein a metallic reinforcing strip, comprising the steps of: co-extruding with the attachment profile a layer of sponge rubber coating the outer surface of the profile; co-vulcanizing the profile and the coating layer thereon; and abrading the exposed surface of the coating layer to render said surface velvety.
2. The process of claim 1, wherein also a sealing bead of sponge rubber is co-extruded together with the attachment profile and coating layer.
3. The process of claim 2, wherein a single feed flow of expandible blend of rubber is used to form both the coating layer and sealing bead.
4. The process of claim 5, wherein: a sealing bead of sponge rubber is co-extruded together with the attachment profile and coating layer; separate feed flows of different expandible rubber blends are used to obtain the sealing bead and the coating layer; the respective expandible blends for the sealing bead and coating layer differing in softness or color.
The present invention relates to an extruded sealing strip for vehicle bodies, including a channel-shaped attachment profile of solid rubber in which a metallic reinforcing strip is embedded.
Very often such sealing strips also have a sealing bead of sponge rubber, co-extruded with the attachment profile and having a cross-sectional shape suitable for the use for which it is intended, for example, a more or less circular, tubular form, or a lip-forming section, said sealing bead being carried by one branch of the channel-section of the attachment profile.
It is known to coat the attachment profile externally, particularly on the dorsal surface and on the branch opposite to that carrying the sealing bead, with a textile fabric, typically a velvet or similar fabric with a short pile. This involves substantial difficulties in the production process and complications in the production line. Moreover, since the velvet ribbon is united to the attachment profile before the latter is bent transversely into its channel-shape, the subsequent bending introduces stresses between the profile and the velvet layer which, on the one hand, tend to open apart the branches of the channel and thus weaken the hold of the attachment profile on the respective member of the bodywork, and on the other hand often result in local detachment of the coating. Yet again, even the curving of the sealing strip during the application to the bodywork is difficult because of the substantial inextensibility of the velvet ribbon.
The sealing strip according to the invention is characterised essentially in that the coating layer consists of sponge rubber with an outer surface rendered velvety by abrasion. Preferably the "sponge rubber" is an expanded rubber with a fine cellular structure, with closed cells of a diameter generally not greater than 1-2 tenths of a millimeter, substantially of the same type typically used for the sealing bead. According to one embodiment of the invention, when the sealing strip includes a sealing bead as specified above, the coating layer and the sealing bead may be formed of the same material, usually colored black. According to another embodiment, the coating layer and the sealing bead may have different colors. In each case, the abraded surface of the coating layer gives the latter the appearance of velvet. Moreover, the coating layer is elastically extensible with little effort, whereby it does not oppose perceptibly either the bending of the attachment profile into the channel-shape, or the curving of the latter to the contour it must follow in its mounted position in a vehicle body.
The process according to the invention is characterised substantially in that the coating layer is added to the attachment profile by means of co-extrusion and subsequent vulcanization of the two. After the vulcanization, the removal of the "skin" of the coating layer is carried out by means of abrasion, in known manner, usually with the use of one or more grinding wheels, so as to expose the cellular structure of the layer and form the desired "pile" on the latter.
When the sealing bead and the coating layer are of the same material, the bead and the layer may be co-extruded from a single feed flow to the extrusion nozzle. In this case two extruders only are sufficient: one, the main one, which feeds the nozzle with a blend for the formation of the attachment profile completely enveloping the sheet-metal reinforcing strip, and the other which feeds the nozzle with a flow of expansible blend which is distributed, in the nozzle itself, to the nozzle aperture for the formation of the sealing bead and the aperture for the formation of the coating layer.
However, usually, the materials of the sealing bead and of the coating layer are different from each other, mainly in that the softness of the sponge rubber forming the coating layer should advantageously be less than that of the sealing bead. Moreover, it may be desirable for the coating layer to contain particular coloring substances or pigments necessary for ornamental reasons, such as, for example, powdered bronze to obtain a "lame" appearance.
In these cases, in the process according to this invention the coating layer and the sealing bead are obtained from two distinct feed flows of the respective expansible blends to the co-extrusion nozzle. That is to say, a third extruder is necessary for a separate feed of the nozzle aperture for the formation of the coating layer.
In the appended drawings:
FIG. 1 is a transverse cross-sectional view of a sealing strip according to the invention and
FIG. 2 is a similar view of the same sealing strip in an intermediate stage of manufacture.
FIG. 3 is a schematic view of the apparatus for carrying out the method of the present invention.
In the drawings, by 10 is indicated the channel-shaped attachment profile of solid rubber, in which a metallic reinforcing strip 12 of any suitable type, known per se, is embedded. On one branch 10a of the channel-section of the attachment profile 10 is formed, by means of co-extrusion, a tubular sealing bead 14 of sponge rubber of circular cross-section. According to the invention, the dorsal surface 10b and the other branch 10c of the attachment profile 10 are coated externally with a continuous layer 16 of sponge rubber, co-extruded with the attachment profile 10.
Typically, the thickness of the coating layer 16 is not greater than one millimeter and the outer surface 16' of the layer is abraded in the manner already indicated above, so that the surface 16' is velvety on both touch and visual appearance.
The sponge rubber of the layer 16 is preferably less soft (or more consistant) than the sponge rubber of the sealing bead 14. Moreover, the layer 16 may have a color different from that of the sealing bead (which is usually black). In both cases, correspondingly formulated, expandible rubber blends are adopted and separately fed to the co-extrusion nozzle.
FIG. 2 illustrates the form of the sealing strip immediately after co-extrusion and vulcanization. In this condition, the attachment profile 10 is still in a flat form, originating from co-extrusion, which allows the abrading (grinding) of the outer surface of the coating layer 16 to be carried out easily, whereupon only the attachment profile 10 is bent transversely to its ultimate channel-shape illustrated in FIG. 1.
The apparatus in FIG. 3 includes a main extruder 20 for extruding the solid rubber 10 about the reinforcement strip 12 in cross head 22. A coextruder 24 is provided for coextruding sponge rubber 14, 16 about the solid rubber in head 22. The composite sealing strip then passes through a curing chamber 26. An abrading sheet 28 roughens the surface of coating 16 prior to passage of the strip through shaping station 30.

1. Before Tuesday's second round doubles match at Wimbledon, Serena Williams was struggling to hit balls, seemed disoriented, and even started crying.
Jan Kruger / Stringer
2. And then things got even worse for her during the match.
3. Which caused a lot of commotion on Twitter:
7. After some disturbingly bad and bizarre play, which caused one of the commentators to declare that she's "never seen anything like this before," the match was ended on a forfeit from Serena and Venus.
Although no one is totally sure what happened, on Saturday, after losing to Alize Cornet, Serena Williams said in a post-game interview that "I suck right now at doubles. I told Venus the other day I don't even want to play because I'm so bad right now. She should get a new partner."
Update — July 1, 12:55 p.m. ET: According to SI Tennis, the official reason for Serena Williams' exit was "viral illness."

Long-term Safety of Topical Calcineurin Inhibitors Has Not Been Established
Although a causal relationship has not been established, rare cases of malignancy (e.g., skin and lymphoma) have been reported in patients treated with topical calcineurin inhibitors, including ELIDEL Cream.
Elidel® (pimecrolimus) Cream 1% contains the compound pimecrolimus, the 33-epi-chloro-derivative of the macrolactam ascomycin.
Elidel® (pimecrolimus) Cream 1% is indicated for short-term and intermittent long-term therapy in the treat-ment of
mild to moderate
atopic dermatitis in non-immunocompromised patients 2 years of age and older, in whom the use of alternative, conventional therapies is deemed inadvisable because of potential risks, or in the treatment of patients who are not adequately responsive to or intolerant of alternative, conventional therapies
(see DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION).
Pimecrolimus vs. tacrolimus for the topical treatment of unresponsive oral
erosive lichen planus: a 8 week randomized double-blind controlled study. [2014]CONCLUSION: Both medications would currently appear to be a treatment of choice
Bilateral comparison study of pimecrolimus cream 1% and a ceramide-hyaluronic acid emollient foam in the treatment of patients with atopic dermatitis. [2011.06]Topical corticosteroids have been the mainstay of treatment for atopic dermatitis (AD) over the last decade, especially in the setting of acute flares. However, heavy and prolonged use of topical corticosteroid is undesirable as it is associated with side effects such as, skin atrophy, telangiectasia, striae, steroid-induced dermatoses, rosacea, acne exacerbation, and in some severe and rare cases, systemic effects such as hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis suppression, growth retardation and ocular problems.
A double-blind, randomized controlled trial of clobetasol versus pimecrolimus in patients with vulvar lichen sclerosus. [2011.06]BACKGROUND: Lichen sclerosus (LS) is a lymphocyte-mediated chronic cutaneous disorder with a predilection for the vulva. The current gold standard treatment is topical ultrapotent corticosteroids such as clobetasol. OBJECTIVE: We sought to compare the safety and efficacy of clobetasol and pimecrolimus in the treatment of vulvar LS... CONCLUSION: Both clobetasol and pimecrolimus appear efficacious and well tolerated for the treatment of vulvar LS; however, clobetasol is more effective than pimecrolimus and should remain first-line therapy for LS.

Clinical and cytological effects of pimecrolimus cream 1% after resolution of active atopic dermatitis lesions by topical corticosteroids: a randomized controlled trial. [2011.02]BACKGROUND: Topical pimecrolimus may maintain remissions of atopic dermatitis (AD) by inhibiting subclinical inflammation. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate clinical and cytological effects of pimecrolimus in topical corticosteroid-treated and resolved AD lesions... CONCLUSION: Topical pimecrolimus was effective at maintaining betamethasone-17alpha-valerate-induced AD remission by inhibiting recurrences of the inflammatory infiltrate in the skin. Copyright (c) 2010 S. Karger AG, Basel.
A bilateral comparison study of pimecrolimus cream 1% and a topical medical
device cream in the treatment of patients with atopic dermatitis. [2011]Corticosteroids are the mainstay of therapy for atopic dermatitis, but long-term
use is associated with adverse effects. We sought to evaluate the clinical
efficacy of two steroid-sparing creams for atopic dermatitis... In conclusion, a lipid-rich, non-steroidal, topical
medical device cream was as effective in improving atopic dermatitis as
pimecrolimus cream.
Safety Study of Elidel (Pimecrolimus) 1% Cream to Treat Netherton Syndrome [Completed]
Netherton syndrome is a genetic condition that can result in abnormal skin functioning.
People with this condition often have red and scaling skin; sparse or short hair; and
problems with absorption of medicines or chemicals that are applied to the skin. If these
chemicals are absorbed at a high level, they may cause health problems. Elidel
(pimecrolimus) is a new medicine that is available as a cream. It has been shown to help
improve the appearance of the skin in patients with another skin condition known as atopic
dermatitis, and is approved by the United States (US) Food and Drug Administration for use in
children with mild to moderate atopic dermatitis. The purpose of this study is to determine
if Elidel is safe, to see whether the medication is absorbed through the skin, and to see if
side effects are associated with its use in children with Netherton syndrome.
Bilateral Comparison Study of Elidel 1% and Hylatopic Plus Emollient Foam for the Treatment of Subjects With Atopic Dermatitis [Recruiting]
This is an investigator-blinded, bilateral comparison study in 30 subjects with atopic
dermatitis. It is designed to assess and compare the efficacy of Elidel® (pimecrolimus)
cream 1% and Hylatopic⢠Plus Emollient Foam⢠in subjects with atopic dermatitis. Subjects
will apply Elidel® (pimecrolimus) cream 1% twice daily for four weeks on a chosen target
eczematous area located on one side of the body and then apply Hylatopic⢠Plus Emollient
Foam⢠three times daily on a symmetrical target eczematous area on the opposite side of the
body. A randomized list will be created to determine which side the subject applies each
Subjects will be consented prior to any study evaluations or procedures. After signing the
consent and meeting all inclusion/exclusion criteria, qualified and enrolled subjects will
apply study medication (Elidelî and Hylatopic⢠Plus Emollient Foamâ¢) to chosen affected
areas for four weeks. Photography will be used to record the location of target lesions at
the baseline, week two and week four/final visits. Subject's disease status will be
assessed by two methods: 1) Physician's Global Assessment (PGA) and 2) Target Lesion Symptom
Score (TLSS) (see sections V. B.2 and V. B.3). PGA as well as TLSS will be made at baseline
(Day 0), week two (Day 14 +/- 2 days) and week 4/final visit (Day 28 +/- 2days) visits for
each of the target lesions. Half scales (i. e. 0. 5, 1. 5) will not be used. The presence or
absence of skin atrophy and telangiectasias will be noted at each study visit as well.
Additionally, subjects' self-assessments of their perception of degree of disease and
itching severity control will be collected at each visit for each target lesion. This
assessment will be made using a four point scale and Itch Severity Scale (visual analogue
score) respectively (see section V. B.4). Lastly, subjects will take a Product Preference
Survey at week 4/final visit (Day 28 +/- 2days). Parents (or guardians) will moderate
Product Preference Surveys for subjects that are younger than 12 years of age.
Effect of Pimecrolimus Cream on Cathelicidin Levels in Subjects With Eczema [Recruiting]
The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of topical pimecrolimus on the immune
system by assessing the levels of antimicrobial peptides in the skin of patients with
eczema. It is hypothesized that pimecrolimus applied topically will repair the body's
immune system in patients with eczema by increasing antimicrobial peptides.

Written by Jeff Lockridge, The Tennessean
HOOVER, ALA. - SEC Commissioner Mike Slive offered a very adamant and perhaps slightly threatening speech centered on the NCAA's need for change at the annual SEC Media Days gathering on Tuesday at the Wynfrey Hotel.
Just how much time Slive is willing to give college athletics' governing body to fall in line with his way of thinking remains unclear. But the clock is ticking.
The soon-to-be 73-year-old threw his support behind the NCAA several times during his address, although each pat on the head was served with a slap across the face.
He questioned parts of the NCAA structure, including the role of its board of directors.
"What is the proper role, function, composition and size of the NCAA board of directors?" he asked. "Do we need all of the services provided by the NCAA's national office, its many committees and task forces, or are some of these services better provided elsewhere?"
Slive indicated after his speech that he has never been part of a meeting with conference commissioners where discussion of an uprising or departure from the NCAA has taken place.
"We have supported and continue to support the NCAA," Slive said. "But at the same time, however, we will continue to push for changes we believe are in the best interest of our student-athletes."
Slive addressed the NCAA's need to allow athletes to receive the "full cost of attendance," strengthen academic eligibility requirements and modernize recruiting rules.
With regard to athlete benefits, Slive acknowledged progress had been made with the option of multi-year scholarships and in easing the ability of former athletes to come back to school and get financial aid.
"But the NCAA has not been successful in meeting the full cost of attendance of our student-athletes, whether through the so-called miscellaneous expense allowance or some other model that provides broad access to additional funds."
In a statement obtained by al.com in response to Slive's comments, NCAA spokeswoman Stacey Osburn wrote: "Opinion and dialogue is vital to the membership's decision-making process, so we welcome and encourage discussion on how the Association can improve and move forward to support student-athletes."
Senior defensive lineman Dominique Easley, one of Florida's three player representatives at Media Days, cautioned other players about being greedy and said he is happy with what he has. Easley said his teammates talk about the need for more money, but it is talk he stays away from.
South Carolina coach Steve Spurrier said SEC coaches have come up with their own proposal and are in complete agreement (he referenced a 14-0 vote) that each player should be given approximately $300 per game to help their families travel to watch them play.
"This is tiny compared to the money that is coming in," Spurrier said. "This is not pay-for-play. Please don't say, Spurrier says pay-for-play. This is just expense money."

May 8, 2014
ATHENS ---- Three University of Georgia varsity sports teams have been publicly recognized by the NCAA for outstanding achievement in the annual NCAA Academic Progress Rate (APR) report.
The recognition honors teams that scored in the top ten percent of all teams across the country in each sport. All three Bulldog teams scored a perfect 1000: gymnastics, women's swimming and diving, and men's golf.
"We are committed to the academic mission of the Athletic Association as well as our athletic mission," said UGA J. Reid Parker Director of AthleticsGreg McGarity. "It's always a point of pride when any of our teams are cited for academic achievement and congratulations are in order for these three teams."
The APR provides a real-time look at a team's academic success each semester by tracking the academic progress of each student-athlete on scholarship. The APR accounts for eligibility, retention, and graduation and provides a measure of each team's academic performance.
The NCAA will release its full APR report on May 14.

5 Ways to Lower Blood Pressure Naturally
If you're looking for ways to lower blood pressure naturally, it is useful to first understand what causes high blood pressure. 90-95% of all cases of high blood pressure are characterized as essential hypertension, which means that it's an independent condition that is not triggered by another disease condition.
High blood pressure will affect nine out of ten Americans during their lives; yet scientists still do not know what causes high blood pressure, most likely because high blood pressure results from a conglomerate of several factors. A lot, however, is known about the risk factors for high blood pressure.
The good news, if you are wondering how to lower high blood pressure, is that most risk factors are reversible and preventable; for the most part, they are lifestyle factors under your control. In fact, one might argue that the very best high blood pressure remedy is right at your fingertips—making a few lifestyle changes can often go a long way to lower blood pressure naturally. You don't necessarily need expensive herbs or other remedies for high blood pressure, slight modifications of diet, practicing yoga asanas for high blood pressure, stress management, and other simple lifestyle habits can be remarkably effective "cures" for high blood pressure

text: Raising the stakes, are we LG? If you'll recall, the first ever LG National Texting Championship concluded last year by giving the winner some $25,000 to spend on finger strengtheners, backup handsets and ridiculously priced texting packages. This year, the proud victor walked out with double that. 20-year old Nathan Schwartz from Cleveland State swiped the grand prize as he pumped out "Does everybody here know the alphabet? Let's text. Here it goes ... AbcDeFghiJKlmNoPQrStuvWXy & Z! Now I know my A-B-C's, next time won't you text with me?" within a minute with zero mistakes. Apparently Mr. Schwartz utilized an LG enV to key in the winning message, though he did call the iPhone and BlackBerry "superior products." Better cash that LG-signed check fast, buddy -- ever heard of a "stp pymnt?"[Via textually]

Chicken Point Cabin Opens Its Facade To The Lake
Chicken Point Cabin designed by Olson Kundig Architects is a great forest retreat with amazing views of the lake. Thanks to a big opening glazed facade the lake can be admired from the inside of cabin. The flooring extends towards the lake creating a sort of terrace as well as there are small stairs that lead to the lake shore.
This beautiful forest retreat is made of gray stone and finished with wood. The structure has two levels with the wooden stairs leading from kitchen dining room to the living room with a framed glass wall that opens thanks to a special mechanism that takes the glass facade from vertical to horizontal state.
The structure of the cabin itself is quite interesting. It consists of the two stone walls a slanted roof with a wooden ceiling that closes the framed glass structure and extends beyond it.
The serene view of the lake makes this cabin a perfect retreat for family or people who want to rest, contemplate or create. What do you think about it?

A temporary cardiac pacing wire (TPW) includes an electrically conductive flexible wire having a bioabsorbable anchor near its distal end. The anchor includes a tubular section that surrounds the wire and a leg that extends from the tubular section at an acute angle to the wire. The bioabsorbable anchor causes minimal trauma to the heart when it is inserted with the TPW, but securely anchors the TPW in the heart. After the TPW is no longer needed, it can be removed, again with minimal trauma to the heart, leaving behind only the bioabsorbable anchor. The bioabsorbable anchor is suitable for use with both monopolar and bipolar TPWs.
1. A temporary cardiac pacing wire (TPW) comprising
(a) a filament, electrically conductive over at least a part of its length, having a proximal end and a distal end,
(b) a curved needle attached to the distal end of the filament, and
(c) a bioabsorbable anchor attached to the filament near the distal end, the anchor comprising
(i) a tubular section surrounding the filament and
(ii) a leg extending from the tubular section at an acute angle to the filament.
2. The TPW of claim 1 in which the electrically conductive part of the TPW extends from the proximal end of the TPW substantially to the proximal end of the anchor.
3. The TPW of claim 2 further comprising a conductive member surrounding, and in electrical contact with, a section of the electrically conductive part of the TPW that adjoins the proximal end of the anchor.
4. The TPW of claim 1 in which the distal end of the TPW comprises a suture material.
5. The TPW of claim 1 in which the tubular section has a substantially cylindrical central opening having a diameter that is smaller than the diameter of a section of the TPW between the distal end and the anchor.
6. The TPW of claim 1 in which the electrically conductive part of the TPW comprises stranded metal.
7. The TPW of claim 1 further comprising a second filament, electrically conductive over substantially its entire length, and having an uninsulated distal end.
8. A temporary cardiac pacing wire (TPW) comprising
(a) a filament, electrically conductive over at least a part of its length, having a proximal end and a distal end,
(b) a curved needle attached to the distal end of the filament, and
(c) an anchor attached to the filament near the distal end, the anchor comprising
(i) a tubular section surrounding the filament and
(ii) a leg extending from the tubular section at an acute angle to the filament.
1. Field of the Invention
This invention relates to a surgical electrode and, more particularly, to a temporary cardiac pacing wire having a bioabsorbable anchor for anchoring the wire in a heart.
2. Description of the Related Art
Devices to stimulate or regulate cardiac function have been known and used for decades. They involve a power source (pacemaker) and a surgical electrode to attach the source to the heart. They are generally of two types.
Implantable pacers are intended for long-term use and, as the name suggests, are entirely implanted in the body. The other type is intended for temporary use. The pacemaker is located outside the body and is connected to the heart by a surgical electrode called a "temporary pacing wire." Although surgical electrodes are used for preparing electrocardiograms and other applications, for the sake of brevity, the description that follows is focused on temporary pacing wires. In general, such connectors are constructed of a number of fine, stainless steel wires twisted together to form a single, flexible, multi-strand electrode wire. The major portion of the wire is insulated with a polyethylene, polytetrafluoroethylene, silicone, nylon, or other nonconducting coating, with a short length of wire at either end left uninsulated. To the distal uninsulated end of the electrode wire there is attached, by swaging or other means, a fine curved needle for piercing the heart tissue to place the uninsulated end of the electrode in the myocardium. At the proximal end of the electrode wire is affixed a straight (e.g., Keith-type) cutting needle for piercing the thoracic wall to lead the electrode to an outer point for connection with the pacemaker. Once that has been accomplished, the needle, or the sharp, pointed end of it, is clipped off and the electrode is ready to be attached to the pacemaker as required to stimulate or regulate the beating of the heart. A single setup involves two electrodes; i.e., two temporary pacing wires.
During the time that the temporary pacing wire is performing its function, a distal end of the electrode wire must be anchored in the heart. The anchor must be secure, lest the continually beating heart cause the wire to be expelled from the heart. When the need for the pacing wire has passed, it is necessary to remove from the body the wire that runs from the external pacemaker to the electrode in the heart. Thus, the requirements for a temporary pacing wire are to some extent in conflict. It must securely attach the electrode wire to the heart during an initial period, then be easily removed from the heart without reopening the surgical site.
U.S. Pat. No. 3,902,501, issued on Sep. 2, 1975 to Citron et al., discloses an endocardial electrode that has a plurality of tines that extend from the electrode adjacent to the tip and form an acute angle with the electrode body. The tines are preferably restrained during insertion of the device.
U.S. Pat. No. 4,444,207, issued on Apr. 24, 1984 to Robicsek, discloses a method of anchoring a temporary pacing wire that has a wire conductor with a curved needle at its distal end. The method involves passing the curved needle through the wall of the heart and then through a disk-shaped button. The button is moved into contact with the heart and, after the distal end of the wire is severed, the button serves to retain the wire in a fixed position relative to the heart wall.
U.S. Pat. No. 4,628,444, issued on Dec. 16, 1986 to MacGregor et al., discloses a permanent cardiac pacing lead that has an electrode with a plurality of biodegradable fins adjacent to its tip. The electrode becomes permanently fixed in the heart over a period of weeks, during which time the fins are gradually absorbed.
U.S. Pat. No. 5,314,463, issued on May 24, 1994 to Camps et al., discloses a bipolar temporary pacing wire whose distal end has a fixation coil that is embedded in the heart wall for retaining the device in the heart.
None of the prior art pacing wire devices combine a bioabsorbable anchor with the means to remove the other elements of the device with minimal heart trauma.
In accordance with the present invention,
a temporary cardiac pacing wire (TPW) comprises
(a) a filament, electrically conductive over at least a part of its length, having a proximal end and a distal end,
(b) a curved needle attached to the distal end of the filament, and
(c) a bioabsorbable anchor attached to the filament near the distal end, the anchor comprising
(i) a tubular section surrounding the filament and
(ii) a leg extending from the tubular section
at an acute angle to the filament.
The TPW of this invention has a bioabsorbable anchor that is not removed from the heart. Thus, removing the rest of the TPW requires only disengaging it from the anchor and pulling it out of the body. That removal method causes only minimal trauma to the heart, compared with the trauma that is caused by prior art devices that require an anchor to be removed through heart muscle.
Note that in this specification and the appended claims we use the terms "filament" and "wire" interchangeably. Within the constraints described below, the filament/wire of the temporary pacing wire may, over part of its length, be conductive or non-conductive, flexible or rigid, and single- or multi-strand.
FIG. 1 is a schematic of a distal section of a temporary pacing wire and its position relative to a heart wall.
FIG. 2 is a side view of an anchor of this invention and adjoining elements of a temporary pacing wire.
FIG. 3 is a cross section of the device of FIG. 2.
FIG. 4 is a cross section of the distal end of a bipolar temporary pacing wire.
This invention relates to an anchor for a temporary pacing wire (TPW) that provides secure attachment of the TPW to the heart, while permitting the connection from outside the body to be removed with minimal trauma. The anchor itself is bioabsorbable and does not, therefore, need to be removed from the body.
FIG. 1 depicts a distal section 10 of a TPW and a cross section of part of a heart H. Note that the proximal end of the TPW (not shown) is connected to a source of electrical pulses, located outside the body, and the electrically conductive part of the TPW extends from outside the body to the section shown. As shown, the TPW has been put in place by curved needle 12 having first been inserted into the heart at a first location 14 and having then emerged from the heart at a second location 16. The anchor 18 preferably remains in the myocardium of the heart, as shown, but alternatively may be pulled through the myocardium and be outside the heart. After the TPW and anchor are in place, the TPW is cut between the anchor and curved needle (at P) and the needle is discarded.
FIG. 2 shows the anchor 18 and the adjoining elements in more detail, and FIG. 3 is a section through line A—A of FIG. 2. In the embodiment depicted there, the conductive part 20 of the TPW extends substantially to the proximal end 19 of anchor 18. The distal (left) end of the TPW, to which the curved needle is initially attached, comprises suture material 22. This embodiment is generally preferred over the embodiment where the entire length of the TPW is conductive for several reasons. Suture material is more flexible, making the insertion process easier. In addition, the electrical pacing signal is weaker when the electrode protrudes from the heart. Finally, if the conductive wire 20 protrudes from the heart, it can inadvertently contact other tissue, which is undesirable. Anchor 18 surrounds, but is not joined to, suture 22. Consequently, suture 22 preferably has an enlarged section 24 that prevents the suture from being inadvertently pulled out of anchor 18 by the beating of the heart. Leg 26 preferably protrudes from the proximal part of anchor 18 at an acute angle to perform the anchoring function. During insertion of the device into the heart, anchor 18 causes minimal resistance and minimal trauma. Tubular stop 28 is joined to suture 22 and conductive wire 20 and prevents anchor 18 from sliding to the right during insertion. At the proximal end of the TPW, after the cutting needle has pierced the thoracic wall to lead the electrode outside the body, the needle is clipped or broken off, and the proximal end 30 of the TPW can be attached to an external source of electrical pulses. Preferably, conductive wire 20 is stranded metal for greater flexibility. If stop 28 is an insulator, bare wire section 32 of conductive wire 20 serves as an electrode. If stop 28 is conducting, it is in electrical contact with conductive wire 20, insulation 34 can extend to the stop, and no bare section is needed.
The embodiment depicted in FIGS. 1-3 is monopolar, providing a single electrode, and necessitates a second, similar device being implanted into the heart a short distance away to provide a second electrode.
FIG. 4 depicts a bipolar device, which is a preferred embodiment of the present device. In this embodiment, a second electrode 40 is included. In the particular embodiment shown, the electrode is a conductive bushing that surrounds the distal ends of insulation 34 and 44 and is in electrical contact with a second conductive wire 42. Alternatively, bare wire 42 could alone form the electrode. The other (right) end of conductive wire 42 (not shown) is connected to the external source of electrical pulses referred to above. When the bipolar device of FIG. 4 is implanted, no second device is needed. Consequently, no second puncture of the heart wall is needed and the TPW insertion process is correspondingly simpler. Additional details of the bipolar TPW appear in U.S. Pat. No. 4,633,880, issued on Jan. 6, 1987 to Osypka et al., incorporated herein by reference.
When the TPW is no longer needed, a force (to the right) is exerted from outside the body to withdraw it. Tubular stop 28 transmits that force to suture 22 (in the embodiment in which conductive wire 20 does not extend to the distal end of the device), and the suture is withdrawn through anchor 18. The withdrawal force must overcome the resistance caused by enlarged section 24 of the suture. When conductive wire 20 extends to the distal end of the TPW (no suture used), then it is preferably stranded, so that enlarged section 24 is readily deformed for removing the TPW. In either case, the enlarged section is typically sized to provide a resistive force of about 100 g, or less, well below the force of at least about 250 g, or more, that anchor 18 can withstand, without being displaced. Thus, after the TPW is no longer needed, the rest of it is removed and only the bioabsorbable anchor 18 remains in the body.
TPW anchor 18 can be fabricated (preferably, molded as a single piece) from any suitable bioabsorbable material(s). Preferred materials are polymers prepared from the following monomers: glycolide, L-lactide, Dlactide, meso-lactide, 1,4-dioxan-2-one, trimethylene carbonate, and e-caprolactone. These monomers can be used to prepare homopolymers, as well as copolymers, in various combinations. Preferred materials are the segmented glycolide/e-caprolactone copolymers that are used to make polyglecaprone (MONOCRYL*) sutures, the random glycolide lactide copolymers that are used to make polyglactin (VICRYL*) sutures, and the homopolymer polydioxanone, which is used to make PDS*II sutures. Information concerning these materials and processes appears in U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,490,326; 4,878,890; 5,468,253; and 5,713,920.

American Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, March 22, 2005 A Marine assigned to the 1st Marine Expeditionary Force was killed March 21 while conducting security and stability operations in Iraq's Anbar province, military officials in Baghdad reported.
Citing security policies, officials provided no further information about the incident. In other news from Iraq, a raid today in Kirkuk by Task Force Liberty soldiers netted three suspects in a rocket attack on a coalition base there. That attack occurred March 21, and caused no injuries or equipment damage, officials said. Multiple rocket fuses and AK-47 assault rifles were seized.
In a separate incident, a tip by a local citizen led Iraqi police officers to a large weapons cache along the Tigris River, just north of Tikrit, March 21.
An Iraqi police quick-reaction force team raided the site and found numerous anti-personnel mines, mortar rounds, rocket-propelled grenades and 155 mm artillery rounds. An explosive ordnance disposal team destroyed the munitions at the site.
Iraq security forces and soldiers from 1st Brigade, 25th Infantry Division (Stryker Brigade Combat Team), detained 20 suspected terrorists and seized a number of weapons in northern Iraq March 21 and today.
Troops from the Iraqi army's 102nd Battalion, 22nd Brigade, and U.S. soldiers from 2nd Battalion, 8th Field Artillery Regiment, detained 10 people suspected of insurgent activity during a cordon-and-search operation south of Mosul today.
Soldiers from 1st Battalion, 24th Infantry Regiment, detained eight suspected insurgents March 21 in Mosul and found a weapons cache. The cache included three RPG launchers, four RPG rounds, two automatic weapons, two AK-47s, an artillery round and a hand grenade.
In southeastern Mosul on March 21, soldiers from 1st Battalion, 5th Infantry Regiment, detained two suspected insurgents at a checkpoint, and the Joint Coordination Center reported a call-in tip from an Iraqi citizen about a possible car bomb in western Mosul.
U.S. and Iraqi security forces arrested a suspect March 20 in the recent murder of a civilian contractor employee who worked on a coalition military base. The suspect was arrested in Duluiyah in Salah Ad Din province, officials said. The military said Iraqi officials believe the suspect also was responsible for recent improvised explosive device attacks against the citizens of Duluiyah.
Col. Mark E. McKnight, commander of Task Force Liberty's 1st Brigade Combat Team, said the capture reflects "the increasing capabilities of Iraqi security forces to maintain the peace for all Iraqis."
"There is no future for the insurgency here in North Central Iraq," he added.
In other news, the coalition opened the new Iraqi Army Support and Services Institute on March 21 with an inaugural class of 153 students from the 1st Division of the Iraqi Intervention Force.
The students are divided into six classes: transport supervisors, wheeled maintenance, armored maintenance, supply supervisor, basic logistic officers for supply, and basic logistic officers for maintenance and transport.
A coalition team of 12 officers and 17 enlisted personnel serve as instructors for the 30-day training program. Multinational Force Iraq officials said they aim to have four divisions trained through the program by September.

MADISON, Wis. (AP) - The Bad River Band of Lake Superior's leader says the tribe plans to immediately begin raising money for a possible lawsuit challenging Republicans' polarizing mining changes.
Gov. Scott Walker signed a sweeping bill Monday that streamlines Wisconsin's mining regulations into law. The law is designed to help Gogebic Taconite open a huge iron mine just south of Lake Superior.
The Bad River's reservation lies just north of the mine site. The tribe fears run-off from the mine's waste rock would contaminate the reservation's water and destroy their cherished wild rice beds.
Tribal Chairman Mike Wiggins Jr. tells The Associated Press the tribe plans to begin a fundraising drive by the end of the week to generate enough money to mount a court challenge.

High street retailer game is now in administration with store closures and redundancies coming with immediate effect. The company's survival depends on finding a buyer who can deal with its £180m debt
Struggling high street retailer Game has officially entered administration after failing to find a buyer and will has begin closing stores with immediate effect.
277 of the company's 609 UK stores will close as of right now with 2,119 employees to be made redundant at the end of the week. The fate of the rest of the outlets remains undecided
The company's website is down, previously placed online orders are being reviewed while stores will no long offer refunds or exchanges, neither will it honour gift cards or reward points.
The company owes £85m to a number of banks and a further £95 billion to suppliers, bringing its total debt to an astonishing £180m. The company is unable to manage the debt any longer and could not make the due rent payment of £21m this quarter, leaving 6,000 jobs in total under threat.
Now Game is in the hands of administrators, the future of the remaining 400 or so stores remains in question. The company may be taken over by a consortium led by the state-owned RBS - one of 7 banks owed money by the Game group. American retailer GameStop is also reported to be interested as well as the OpCapita group, which owns Comet.
Mike Jervis, partner at one of the joint administrators PwC said: "Game Group had two fundamental problems. First of all there was a very ambitious overseas expansion into seven territories in addition to the UK.
"On top of that the UK store portfolio is very extensive. That footprint and that high fixed cost is very difficult to maintain."
Game's problems came into the public eye in the couple of weeks after EA declared it would not be allowing the retailer to stock its new titles, meaning gamers had to look elsewhere to get their hands on Mass Effect 3.

Many different types of ordered and disordered standing wave patterns are formed at the surface of a vertically oscillating layer of fluid. We have been investigating both the ordered patterns formed near the onset of the surface wave instability, and the disordered patterns formed at somewhat higher excitation amplitude. The phenomena depend on the viscosity of the fluid, the excitation frequency, and the excitation amplitude. Examples of hexagonal, square, and striped patterns are shown below (at viscosity about 50 times that of water). The container is 32 cm in diameter, and the silicone oil is 3 mm deep. The unusually large diameter and high attainable acceleration reveal novel phenomena.
Grey scale images are obtained using a CCD camera and a frame grabber. The coloring is artificial to enhance the images. Lighter shades correspond to large amplitudes and darker shades to small amplitudes.

Minerva Representatives from Verizon and the Adirondack Park Agency (APA) conducted a balloon test Wednesday, Jan. 16 for the phone company's proposed cell tower, according to Minerva Supervisor Sue Montgomery Corey.
Three balloons were flown up from the site of the site behind Sporty's Iron Duke Saloon in order to gauge the visual impact of the tower. The lowest balloon was set the height of the tower, and the other two were flown higher in the air to get an idea how it would look if they needed to modify the height of the tower. Representatives from Verizon and the APA then drove around town in jeeps and evaluated the appearance from various locations in the town.
"It was very exciting to see the balloon test moving forward and we are all looking forward to hearing back from Verizon about the results," Supervisor Corey said.
Corey and the rest of the Town Board have been actively supporting this project from the beginning.
"We are all eager to have the review process go as smoothly as possible and look forward to the day when cell service will be possible in Minerva," Corey said.
Verizon officials previously had been looking at a cell tower site on Town Hall property but changed their mind in 2012 in favor of the hill behind Sporty's along state Route 28N.
An hour before their regularly scheduled Town Board Meeting Thursday Jan. 17, the town held a public hearing for the $400,000 Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) for housing rehabilitation that the town received. Bruce Misarski of the Housing and Development Program for Essex County (HAPEC) explained what the next steps would be in setting up the program. In addition, Misarski and HAPEC will be administering the program for the town. Corey explained that HAPEC had been working with the town during the past three years in order to secure the grant.

ROCHESTER, Minn. – Madison (Wis.) claimed their first NJCAA DIII Volleyball National Championship Saturday with a 3-0 (25-22, 25-19, 25-22) win over No. 3 seed Ridgewater (Minn.). The top-seeded WolfPack swept all three opponents they faced at the UCR Regional Sports Center.
Madison's effort was highlighted by the performance of sophomore outside hitter Terissa Bierd who was named the tournament MVP. WolfPack head coach Toby Parker was named Coach of the Tournament after leading Madison to the national title in his ninth season at the helm. Sophomores Elizabeth Mahsem and Danielle Crawford were joined by freshmen Mikayla Nigl and Hannah Graham.
The WolkPack began their run Friday morning with a 3-0 (25-14, 25-14, 25-15) win over Fashion IT (N.Y.) in the quarterfinals. In their second game of the day, Madison locked up a spot in the title match with a 3-0 (25-10, 25-20, 25-13) semifinal victory over SUNY-Adirondack (N.Y.).
Madison capped off their 2013 season with 21-straight victories for a final record of 34-3. Ridgewater's loss dropped them to 23-10 for the year.

UWYO Collegiate Horsemen's
The Horsemen's serves as a leadership and educational chapter of the American Collegiate Horsemen's Association (http://www.collegiatehorsemen.org/) and is thought of as the "horseless horse group." The group meets twice a week typically on the first and third Monday of each month in the ABS building room 104. However, depending on the meeting's program the group may meet at a different location such as the Hansen's Teaching Arena. The association tries to host one business meeting per month and one educational meeting with involves brining in equine experts from the industry and often includes hands on demonstrations.
In January 2011 the group traveled to National Horsemen's Convention in Denver and they plan to attend the 2011 meeting in Fort Worth, TX. The students meet other college students from 18 other universities and learned more about running a successful chapter and opportunities, new technology, and events in the equine industry.
This year the association will be taking an Equine Industry Tour through Texas in May. The members will visit legendary ranches such as the 6666 and performance horse farms like McQuay Stables in Tioga, breed associations- the American Quarter Horse Association and American Paint Horse Association, businesses within the equine industry such as Equine Sports Medicine, an Equine Dental School, and the Bloodstock Headquarters. The tour will include many opportunities for the students to learn more about the equine industry as a whole and career opportunities.
