The Casual Cats Of Our Collection
I'd like to share my experience from the PPCM program, as an intern and explore just a few of the many interesting objects in the vast Eastman House collection. The following is a small group of cat photographs. They are a great example of the incredible diversity available in the collection and not only show a variety of photographic processes and formats, but also illustrate a range of the different ways photographs have been used.
With something as simple as the subject of cats there are albumen cabinet cards, stereographs, and cdv's; collotype prints; collodion POP; gelatin silver prints; gelatin glass negatives; photomechanical reproduction, and three color carbro prints, with uses ranging from advertising photographs by Nickolas Muray; postcards; Kodak amateur photographs and vernacular images; taxidermy photographs such as the album by Luis Soler Pujol; and a photograph from Eadweard Muybridge's Animal Locomotion series.
The goal at the PPCM program is to educate ourselves with photographic materials and processes along with photographic history and the social and cultural conditions of its production and reception, so that we can better understand, care for, and manage photographic collections. As even this very small, seemingly casual group of photographs shows, Eastman House provides an incredible opportunity for this type of research and education.
Enjoy the show!
Eastman House's graduate program in Photographic Preservation and Collections Management (PPCM) is offered in conjunction with Ryerson University.

Jordan Tuwiner wrote:All of their starters pitched much better on six days rest, as Matt P noted.
A lot of their relievers can go multiple innings.
Would it work out? Probably. Would Buck do it? I do not think so.
ofahn wrote:
I see that as a really bad idea. IMO we should be encouraging them to improve their stamina and moving to a six man rotation would actually degrade it. A SP should focus on exercising their legs and arms as much as possible. I'd rather see them go to a FOUR man rotation than a six.
Matt P wrote:Any logic behind the four man rotation idea?
ofahn wrote:
Yes, it actually allows a SP to get into a better routine. Pitch, rest, throw on the side, rest, pitch. It worked very well for the league and this team for a LONG time. Earl Weaver used a nine man pitching staff. Since the pitcher hit in the nine hole he was able to carry eight players in his starting lineup and eight more on the bench. It was like having an entire second team.
Teams need to enforce better conditioning and more throwing for their SPs. You build a muscle by using it until it tires (and quitting at that point) NOT allowing it to atrophy.
Don't be surprised to see Texas go with a four man rotation in the next few seasons. Nolan Ryan is preparing their SPs in their system for it.
Old Sneakers wrote:Honestly with all do respect to everyone here I strongly feel that the 5 man rotation is the way to go.
There are times when you can start a first rate long reliever for a turn or two through the rotation and go 6 man. However, I've not seen anyone trying to do this for any significant amount of time and have it work. Even then it's usually only best to do it when your starters are eating more innings than expected. Something this team hasn't had to deal with in a very long time.
Four man rotation, is IMO even worse. This club for years has struggled to develop pitching and it takes forever for it to succeed. Pitcher's shoulders, elbows and wrist are like tread on a tire. They only have so much.
Honestly with any rotation there is strength in numbers and though the farm system is in fair shape it's hardly overflowing with talent. Particularly with starting pitching. Picking up solid relievers is a far easier task.
ofahn wrote:
I'll ask you to consider this: How many quality fifth starters are there in baseball? How many quality sixth starters do you think there will be? I see it as easier to find FOUR quality SPs than FIVE or SIX.
Matt P wrote:
I just don't think it's realistic in todays MLB with everyone obsessed with pitch counts and inning limits. I don't think they would go with a 6 man either but it would be something they may consider.
ofahn wrote:
If we're going to obsessed with anything it should be off season training regimens, not pitch counts.
Matt P wrote:
One would think that yet the majority of major league clubs all are obsessed with pitch counts.
osforlife wrote:I really don't think our pitchers could do a 4 man rotation. Especially Chen, Gonzalez, and Bundy. Chen has been working in a 6 man rotation all his life. Transiitoning to a 5 man is hard enough. Gonzalez has had endurance issues in the past and Bundy worked in a 6 man rotation this year. Tillman is very fragile too. I really don't see a 6 man either although our pitchers probably would put up better numbers and is much more ideal than a 4. Eventually, baseball is probably gonna get to that point though.

The Westminster College Honors Program
What if your classes were designed around the concept of helping you practice the habit of thinking? Of helping you develop an authentic writer's voice, so that your words have "the feel of you about them," as Irish poet Seamus Heaney once remarked? Of helping you challenge yourself to such a degree that you learn new things about yourself? If these questions appeal to you, then you've come to the right place.
Westminster's Honors program offers a distinctive course of study for academically and intellectually prepared students who want to challenge themselves. While the core of the program is the specially-designed, 7-course seminar sequence, which replaces the college-wide Liberal Education (LE) experience, Honors at Westminster consists of other enriched opportunities like leadership training, mentoring and funding for research, meetings with visiting speakers, writing awards, and access to unique study abroad opportunities, among others. Most importantly, Honors students feel a sense of shared purpose and community that grows out of the distinctive learning environment.
The team-taught, interdisciplinary seminars encourage active learning, personalized attention, and critical thinking. The curriculum is designed to help students discover their own identities as thinkers, speakers, and writers. The program also offers a range of upper-level classes that cover topics beyond the 7-course seminar sequence.
Because Honors students take many of their courses together and participate in a range of outside activities, they feel an especially strong connection to the program and the college. The program is housed in historic Nunemaker Place, located on the banks of Emigration Creek by the residence halls. This three-story building gives Honors students a place to write papers on networked computers, attend social events and meetings, read, relax, or just hang out with friends.

Calling all bird-watchers – amateurs and experts, young and old, we need your help! Join the Great Backyard Bird Count, February 15-18, 2013!
The Great Backyard Bird Count is an annual four-day event that engages bird watchers of all ages in counting birds to create a real-time snapshot of where birds are across the continent.
Anyone can participate, from beginning bird watchers to experts. It takes as little as 15 minutes. It's free, fun, and easy – and it helps the birds.
Why Count Birds?
Scientists and bird enthusiasts can learn a lot by knowing where the birds are. Bird populations are dynamic; they are constantly in flux. No single scientist or team of scientists could hope to document the complex distribution and movements of so many species in such a short time.
We need your help. Make sure the birds from your community are well represented in the count. It doesn't matter whether you report the 5 species coming to your backyard feeder or the 75 species you see during a day's outing to a wildlife refuge.
Your counts can help us answer many questions:
Learn How to Participate in the Great Backyard Bird Count.

Aamir Khan has a show on Indian television called Satyamev Jayate. The show's title translates to Truth Alone Prevails. In it, he tackles many important issues facing India. During one episode, he dealt with the Muslim practice of honor killing:
Five months after a young couple appeared on Aamir Khan's television show, Satyamev Jayate, and talked about the threat to their lives because they had married without their parents' consent, the man was shot dead near his village in western Uttar Pradesh on Thursday evening, allegedly by his wife's brothers.
Abdul Hakim, 28, and his 26-year-old wife Mehwish, both Muslims hailing from families with different social standing, had been living under the protection of an NGO in Delhi since May last year. About 15 days ago, Hakim and his wife, who is nine months pregnant, went to meet his ailing mother near Adoli village in Bulandshahr district. He was shot there, while on his way home from the local police station.
I applaud you, Aamir Khan. Despite what has occurred here, the light of day is still the best disinfectant. According to the above link, you are the third Indian to be featured on the cover of Time after Aishwarya Rai and Parveen Babi. Keep up your mission. . .

|Meth, Scales, Cash Found on Crashed Cycle
|Written by Steve Frank
|Thursday, 20 September 2012 11:13
New information has surfaced about that double-fatal motorcycle crash in Granite Falls Sunday that killed a man and woman from Catawba County. John Franklin and Alison Nixon died Sunday morning along highway 321 after leading police on a high speed chase that started in Blowing Rock.
State troopers say they found a hidden compartment on the motorcycle, and inside was meth, two scales, and 17-hundred dollars in cash. The highway patrol says the money has been turned over to the state to pay the taxes on the drugs found in that hidden compartment. Law enforcement agencies had broken off the pursuit prior to the motorcycle slamming into an S-U-V while going more than 120 miles per hour.

Submission Successful Trajectory Maneuver for Next Mars Rover->
sighted writes: "NASA reports that the spacecraft carrying the Mars Science Laboratory, also known as the Curiosity rover, has just reached an important turning point on its way to the Red Planet. A three-hour series of thruster firings changed the ship's velocity by just 12.3 mph (5.5 m/s)--enough to compensate for an intentional misdirection at launch that will send the mission's booster rocket safely off into space while the rover now heads for the intriguing Gale Crater."

POTSDAM A Massena man has been named the north countrys Firefighter of the Year for rescuing three people from a motel fire on April 20, 2012.
Rick Rakoce was honored with the award Friday during a ceremony held by the Northern New York Volunteer Firemans Association at St. Marys Church, Potsdam, as part of the associations annual convention.
Last years fire at the Hillside Motel, 15 Smith Road, Massena, caused three explosions but no casualties.
Three people jumped from the second floor and were caught by Mr. Rakoce.
Several Potsdam firefighters were also honored at the ceremony for their work helping people after the summer of 2012 windstorm that tore the roofs from buildings and caused a gas leak in downtown Potsdam.
The ceremony ended with a memorial service for the north countrys firefighters past and present who have lost their lives.

Last Friday, on April 5, in his address to the 38th Annual Conference of the Export-Import Bank of the United States in Washington, D.C., Vice President Joe Biden (shown in photo) asserted that "the affirmative task we have now is to actually create a new world order." (See his remarks in the video available at the link below.)
Whenever globalist-minded politicians, bankers, academics, and corporate executives start talking about a "new world order," sensible folks take alarm. That is because it has become obvious over the past few decades that in elite, globalist circles this phrase has been, and is, code for "global governance" and, eventually, world government. And, of course, as surely as night follows day, the "progressive" media hacks in the MSM and alternative media are always quick to ridicule anyone that points out this obvious fact.
Thus did Gawker.com on April 7 rush to satirize NWO concern in its post, "Conspiracy-Theorist Christmas Comes Early as Biden Uses Term 'New World Order'":
That faint rumble you heard on Friday afternoon was the sound of a thousand gleeful conspiracy-theorists firing up their webcams (and bobbing excitedly in their desk chairs like a kid at a toy store) as Vice President Joe Biden used the term "New World Order" when describing trade laws at the Export-Import Bank Conference in Washington.
Gawker.com concludes with: "Friday was a banner day for conspiracy theorists everywhere, as a blunder from a Vice President known for making blunders has reignited another failed discussion of how to understand the world."

BEIJING (Caixin Online) — Calls for government officials to disclose personal and family assets are growing louder, as a large number of corruption cases are uncovered every year.
A local official in Hunan Province published a list of his personal assets on Weibo, the Chinese version of twitter, on Oct. 30. Zhang Tiancheng, deputy secretary of the Communist Party's politics and legal affairs committee in Hanshou, told Web users that his monthly salary was 2,981 yuan ($479) and he received an annual bonus 4,732 yuan. His wife, he reported, made about 30,000 yuan USDCNY, -0.1275% a year, and the family had one inherited house and a flat that cost 400,000 yuan.
The value of the flat has risen significantly, Zhang admitted in his Weibo post, and he paid a monthly mortgage of 777 yuan.
Caixin is a Beijing-based media group dedicated to providing high-quality and authoritative financial and business news and information through periodicals, online and TV/video programs.

Zhao's disclosure covered his children. He gave his daughter a 220,000 yuan dowry, for which he still owed lenders about 40,000 yuan.
Many in China feel corruption is the biggest problem the government and ruling Communist Party faces. At the party's recently concluded 18th National Congress, former party general secretary Hu Jintao warned graft could cause the collapse of the party.
Many in the country would like to see officials release information about their assets and are hopeful a national "Sunshine Law" will force cadres to bring information about their wealth out into the daylight. Despite this, officials like Zhang who voluntarily open up their family books to outsiders are rare compared with number of public servants found to be corrupt every year.
Net users have made exposing cases of corruption something of a hobby.
Recently, Yang Dacai, the head of the Work Safety Department in Shaanxi Province, became notorious in China for smiling at the scene of a fatal traffic accident. He tried to play down the incident, but the situation grew worse for him when Net users noticed a nice watch on his wrist.
They started digging and found that Yang owned at least five luxury watches. He insisted that they had all been bought with his own income, but even more timepieces were discovered, each more expensive than the last.
The public's investigation eventually led to a probe by the local party anti-corruption watchdog and Yang's downfall. On Sept. 21, the watchdog said Yang had been detained for serious violation of the law.
A 1995 decree issued by the central government and the Communist Party says officials in mid-level positions and higher must submit an annual report on their personal assets to internal government monitors.
Why Wen Jiabao may want to be forgotten
Most leaders want to leave a legacy behind, but not Wen Jiabao. The WSJ's Josh Chin explains why the Chinese premier may want to be left out of the most recent chapter of history.
"It's not open to the public, so the reporting process becomes mostly perfunctory," said Wang Yukai, a professor in the public management department at the Academy of Governance, an institute of higher education in Beijing that trains civil servants.
"The result is many corrupt officials flee overseas with massive illegal gains."
Cases like Yang's show that when the internal reporting system doesn't serve its function, scrutiny from the general public, especially on the Internet, fills in, Wang said. "This is an extreme method, which in turn is pushing the government to set up an assets disclosure mechanism open to the public."

A group of college students embarks on a wild, sexy and outrageous semester abroad at Razvan University. Located deep in the heart of the "cursed land" of Transylvania in a centuries-old castle, Razvan isn't your typical institution of higher learning. The black leather-clad professors, three-foot-tall dean, instruction in crucifix-wielding, and topless vampiresses lurking in dark corners are just the start. It seems Castle Razvan was the property of the feared Vampire King Radu in the Dark Ages and he's come back to reclaim it.

Networked Fitness is the connection of technology and people that empowers the fitness journey, providing exercisers with the tools and experiences to reach and achieve their goals. Networked fitness technologies also help facility operators to better manage their business with solutions that help drive revenue, increase retention and provide enhanced equipment management
Technology has dramatically changed our lives and has become the underlining element of our day to day activities at work and home. Technology and the internet have combined to become the essential backbone of everything from global commerce and security to the distribution of entertainment and communication.
Now this powerful combination comes to fitness and Precor is leading the industry in adopting it with PrevaTM. Preva is the Precor solution into networked fitness that gives you tools to manage your facility and your exercisers exciting new experiences to enhance their workout.
The integration of networking technology in fitness equipment comes at a time when the World Health Organisation estimates that worldwide obesity has more than doubled since 1980, with more than 500 million men and women considered obese worldwide. Just as technology and the internet has transformed many areas of our lives, it now promises to transform workout experiences to better motivate people to begin and continue a fitness journey that can last a lifetime.

Every year, according to some estimates, as many as 100,000 Christians are martyred for their faith in Jesus Christ.
Especially across North Africa and the Middle East, becoming a follower of the Lord is fraught with danger. In countries where Islamic rule is ascendant, Christians are systematically being threatened, persecuted and even killed.
Of course, Christians have long been subject to intense persecution. The prophets of the Lord in the Old Testament were rarely met with a warm reception. From the birth of the church at Pentecost, and down through the millennia, those who call on Jesus as Savior and Lord have suffered loss of property, income and life for the sake of the Kingdom.
Stephen, of course, was the first martyr of the early church, stoned to death by the Pharisees. Most of the apostles, beginning with James the son of Zebedee (one of the "Sons of Thunder") met with a martyr's death.
Albrecht Vogel described the plight of the church during the Roman persecution of the first three centuries in this stark manner:
"Horror spread everywhere through the congregations; and the number of lapsi [the ones who renounced their faith when threatened] … was enormous. There was no lack, however, of such as remained firm, and suffered martyrdom rather than yielding; and, as the persecution grew wider and more intense, the enthusiasm of the Christians and their power of resistance grew stronger and stronger."
Jesus clearly taught that following Him would never be easy. "'A servant is not greater than his master.' If they persecuted Me, they will also persecute you" (John 15:20). Peter, whose death Jesus foretold in John 21, said Christians should not be surprised at the fiery trial "as though some strange thing happened to you; but rejoice to the extent that you partake of Christ's sufferings" (1 Peter 4:12-13).
Remarkably, the Scriptures constantly emphasize the joy and peace of the believer in the midst of suffering. When the disciples were imprisoned and beaten, they actually rejoiced "that they were counted worthy to suffer shame for His name" (Acts 5:41).
I am well aware that as we preach the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ, many are enduring unimaginable hardships. You can read about one of them in this issue of Decision. Pastor Saeed Abedini has been held in an Iranian prison for nearly a year because of his faith in the Lord. His courage, and the determination of his wife, Naghmeh, in seeking to win his release, is a great example of persistent prayer and reliance on God in the midst of persecution.
God can certainly bring deliverance as He did for Maryam Rostampour and Marziyeh Amirizadeh, two young women who were released from the same prison in 2009. The Lord hears and answers the prayers of His people for the glory of His Name and the advancement of His Kingdom.
I'm sure the Abedinis would deeply appreciate your petitions on their behalf, not just for Pastor Saeed's release, but also for continued strength to honor their Savior.
Nothing can stop the spread of God's Kingdom until He comes. Those who remain faithful to the Lord in the pits of persecution are some of His chief instruments, used by the Father to spread the aroma of the knowledge of Christ far and wide.
Scripture quotations are taken from The Holy Bible, New King James Version.

Big Sky special events coordinator Chad Jones clearly has a future in selling used cars, but until that time, he's pushing a Spring Cleaning Sales extravaganza at the Montana resort for the 2010/2011 season. With prices reduced more than 40 percent, skiers can purchase the Big Sky Gold Unlimited Season pass for $799 until April 30.
We asked you to identify the above resort in SKI Magazine's November 2008 issue for a chance to win a free set of his-and-her helmets from K2. Think you answered correctly? Still have no idea? Well, here's the answer:
Congratulations to the winner! We hope you enjoy your free K2 helmets.
The room is alive with bird sounds and the grunts of something else—something much, much larger. Little kids' eyes widen as a huge, scaly tenontosaurus draws into view. Even adults have to crane their necks to see the full dimensions of the 20-foot-long dinosaur replica. Hanging from it is a pack of colorful, feathered, razor-clawed deinonychus. Kids cower behind their parents. "Isn't it nice that the big dinosaur has birds for friends?" says one mother, nervously eyeing her young kids. But the little boy next to her knows better.
Seeking out the perfect way to enjoy spring skiing? Here's our guide to 11 sun-and-snow weekend getaways.
Spring skis like winter. The crowds are even more sparse (if that's possible). And Lone Peak still calls to you from every inch of the mountain.
Time is short for skiers and riders looking to save on The Maine Pass valid at Sunday River and Sugarloaf.

I bought these for my son for Christmas. Based on another review, I ordered black rather than the tan (which would've matched the tan interior). He had removed his carpets long ago, so the base floor is black. So glad I ordered the black - it looks fantastic! He is thrilled because they look so much nicer than his previous mats and they don't slide around. They are a comfortable material so he doesn't even mind having bare feet on them (yes, he tried it already!) I spent a lot of time comparing brands and websites and I am so glad I went with these. The price was great - the cheapest I found. The service was amazing. Despite ordering them late and not having expedited shipping, CARiD still got them to me before Christmas. This was a very good purchase experience!Was this review helpful for you? YesNoShare this review:

CLARENCE, NY - There were extra police patrols around Clarence High School Friday morning after school officials received an anonymous tip about a threat to the school.
State Police in Clarence tell 2 On Your Side that the school received the tip after school on Thursday when a rumor started through Facebook and text messages.
School officials contacted state police, who investigated and determined the threat was not credible.
Troopers will not specify what the threat was.
School was opened as normal on Friday, with extra patrols nearby as a precaution.
Investigators say the district is dealing with the situation internally.

There's something else new about this muffin recipe too. When my Nicole at Pinch My Salt adapted my egg muffin recipe to make her Egg-xcellent Egg Muffins, she showed them photographed in little individual silicone muffin cups. Immediately I started coveting those individual muffin cups, and recently I succumbed to temptation and bought some from Sur la Table. The cups are smaller than my silicone muffin pans, so this recipe is for twelve small muffins, but it could also be six larger ones if you have standard muffin tins. With almond meal being one of the main ingredients, these muffins are pretty nutritionally dense, and two small muffins are just right for me.
Cottage Cheese and Egg Breakfast Muffins with Mushrooms and Feta Cheese
(Makes 12 small or 6 large muffins, recipe adapted from Cottage Cheese Muffins at 101 Cookbooks, original recipe by Rose Elliot.)
8 oz. crimini mushrooms, diced into 1/4 inch pieces (about 2 cups diced mushrooms)
2 tsp. olive oil (more or less, depending on your pan)
1/3 cup low fat cottage cheese
1/4 cup parmesan cheese
1/4 cup white whole wheat flour
2/3 cup almond meal (or grind 2/3 cup unsalted almonds in a food processor, which will give a slightly chunkier texture)
1 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. Spike seasoning (optional but highly recommended)
4 eggs, beaten
3 T water
1/2 cup crumbled feta
2 T sliced green onions
While mushrooms are cooking, combine cottage cheese, parmesan cheese, white whole wheat flour, almond meal, baking powder, Spike seasoning, eggs, and water in large plastic bowl. Stir together with large spoon.
When mushrooms are done and slightly cooled, gently stir mushrooms, Feta cheese, and green onions into batter. Spray individual silicone muffin cups or silicone muffin pans with non-stick spray if desired. If using individual muffin cups, place on cookie sheet. Fill muffin cups nearly full, dividing batter so cups are equally filled. Bake 25 minutes, or until muffins are slightly browned and firm.
(If you don't have silicone muffin tins, be sure your pan is sprayed well with non-stick spray or olive oil or you'll have a very hard time getting these out of the pan. You could use foil muffin cups sprayed with non-stick spray in a regular muffin pan.)
Serve hot or at room temperature. Can be stored in the refrigerator and reheated in microwave. Don't microwave more than 1-2 minutes.
Because of the flour, these muffins would be suitable for phase 2 or 3 of the South Beach Diet. Be sure to use white whole wheat flour for the South Beach friendliness. The muffins do contain a significant amount of fat due to the almond meal, Parmesan cheese, and Feta cheese, so be aware of that when planning other meals for that day.

Tabu Nail Polish 4 4
The old days I was surprised to see the Tabu polish, haven't seen it in a very, very long time. I ordered the Bar Harbor & Acapulco. I get a manicure every week & anxious to try them, I doubt she ever heard of Tabu. When I was young and dating I wore the Bermuda Red and the Tabu lipstick, didn't care for the cologne but the lipstick smelled so good. Thanks ffor bringing back old memories. February 28, 2014
Chips like mad! I bought these based on the good reviews. And while the color is nice, the polish simply does not stay on. January 6, 2014
This product is good. I like the nail polish. November 6, 2013
Great Long Lasting Polish! I am rough on my nails. I am lucky to go a day without chipping my nail polish off. I tried this polish and it lasted almost a week without chipping! Wonderful colors and great staying power! May 21, 2013

Other Name: soy oil
Detailed Description:
Increased availability of free fatty acids impairs glucose disposal in young healthy humans. Patients with type 2 diabetes have reduced whole body glucose disposal, increased ectopic lipid deposition in skeletal muscle and the liver and impaired mitochondrial function. Recent studies suggest that lipid metabolites such as diacylglycerol (DAG), ceramides and long-chain acyl-coA represent the active mediators inducing insulin resistance. Possible targets are DAG-sensitive Proteinkinase C (PKC θ, PKC ε) which inhibit the insulin signaling cascade and ceramides which interfere with the insulin signaling cascade at Proteinkinase B/AKT. Prior studies raised controvesial evidence, thus, it is yet unclear, whether DAG or ceramides are the primary agents inducig lipid-induced insulin resistance. Therefore, the current study aims to explore the time course of the appearance of intramyocellular lipid compunds during lipid infusion in parallel assessing markers of impaired insulin action.

Author's Conclusions
Clinical/Scientific Implications
On the surface, this appears to be a "home run" considering that they are reporting that 100% of patients who got at least 50 Gy had a pathologic complete response to therapy. Although the follow-up is too short to get a sense of survival data, a complete response rate of 100% is quite impressive. However, we need to have a closer look at this trial. Why is it that only 44% of patients were able to receive the entire planned course of therapy? This number is very low and somewhat unsettling. The long term implications to this are unclear and need further follow up. The standard of care for locally advanced head and neck cancer treatment involves concurrent chemoradiotherapy, and even though there are serious challenges in delivering an aggressive treatment to this body site, most centers can get a whole lot more than 44% of their patients through a planned course of chemoradiation. This trial is very interesting, and the authors should be commended for attempting this novel treatment approach. However, using C225 during induction therapy should only be considered in a trial setting.
Patient Summary: Phase II evaluation of cetuximab (C225) combined with induction paclitaxel and carboplatin followed by C225, paclitaxel, carboplatin, and radiation for stage III/IV operable squamous cancer of the head and neck (ECOG E2303)

If evidence that falls within the scope of the exclusionary rule led law enforcement to other evidence, which they would not otherwise have located, then the exclusionary rule applies to the related evidence found subsequent to the excluded evidence as well. Such subsequent evidence has taken on the name of "fruit of the poisonous tree."
The Exclusionary Rule is a court-created remedy and deterrent, not an independent constitutional right. Courts will not apply the rule to exclude illegally gathered evidence where the costs of exclusion outweigh its deterrent or remedial benefits. Thus, the rule is not triggered when courthouse errors lead police officers to mistakenly believe that they have a valid search warrant, because excluding the evidence would not deter police officers from violating the law in the future. See Arizona v. Evans, 541 U.S. 1.
The rule does not prevent the government from introducing illegally gathered evidence to "impeach," or attack the credibility of, defendants' testimony at trial. The Supreme Court recognized this exception to prevent perjury. Even when the government suspects perjury, however, it may only use tainted evidence for impeachment, and may not use it to show guilt.
Due to qualified immunity, the Exclusionary Rule is often defendants' only remedy when police officers conduct an unreasonable search or violate their Miranda rights. Even if officers violate a defendant's constitutional or statutory rights, qualified immunity protects them from suit unless no reasonable officer would believe that their conduct was legal.

Heidi Johnson-Wright, 1989
Heidi Johnson-Wright '89 spoke to students in an architecture design and theory class at the University of Miami School of Architecture about the importance of the school's commitment to an inclusive built environment. In the past, people with disabilities were expected to "become normal people" and negotiate an inflexible environment or isolate themselves from society, she said. Today, social discrimination in the form of inadequate support services, plus attitudinal, sensory, cognitive, economic, and architectural barriers are recognized as the most significant problems experienced by those with disabilities. Johnson-Wright, who has used a wheelchair for 40 years, is an ADA compliance professional, attorney, and author.

MORRISTOWN – Thanks to a grant from the St. Lawrence County Health Initiative, the village ice rink built over the summer is about to get a lot more accessible.
Set up under the $36,000 pavilion built by the village behind the Fire Hall in 2012, the ice rink has seen frequent use by members of the community, according to Mayor Cheryl A. Shatraw.
But Mrs. Shatraw said a problem with the ice rink is that while its open to the public, it can only be used by people who already have ice skates.
Because of that, the village successfully applied for a grant with the St. Lawrence County Health Initiatives Creating Healthy Places to Live, Work, and Play program to purchase 30 pairs of skates in various sizes to rent out to the community. The village secured a grant for $1,500.
Health Initiative Executive Director Ruth A. Fishbeck said the Health Initiative, through the state grant, is able to give out $60,000 in grants across the county. She noted that $60,000 can go a long way toward purchasing recreational goods for local communities.
So far the project has given out skis, snowshoes, kayaks, playground equipment and other items.
The goal is to increase peoples options for low-cost physical activity, Mrs. Fishbeck said.
And it seems to work.
So far the Health Initiative has given out skates to about nine local arenas in the county.
All of the arenas have had a huge increase in the number of people using them, Mrs. Fishbeck said.
Moreover, because the village of Morristown will be renting the skates, the money will help the village maintain them and the arena. Morristown Volunteer Fire Department Chief Kevin J. Crosby said the skates will be available from the village clerks office.
Mrs. Shatraw said the skates should be available within the next one or two weeks. The skates are being purchased from MVP Sports in Potsdam.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- He may or may not be a great coach, but he's 1-0 in press conferences.
The fifth coach in Jags history is Gus Bradley and today he was officially introduced as the team's new head coach. Bradley was hired away from the Seattle Seahawks where he served as the team's defensive coordinator.
It's been a meteoric rise for Bradley considering he didn't come into the league until 2006. He spent three seasons in Tampa and then the last three with Seattle.
Bradley said he was himself during the entire interview process, "because I knew I could always go back to Seattle and a great job, so if you like who I am then let's go!"
Bradley says he's in the process of putting together a staff. All eyes will be on his offensive coordinator hire, because he's the only new head coach of the eight hired this off season who comes from he defensive side of the football.

Bronze was not the medal with which Team USA expected to walk away in this World Juniors, but they played well against a tough adversary and earned the medal in a fast paced, all-or-nothing game. Sweden, the top team in their division, tarnished Team Canada's perfect record by beating them in a shootout in a preliminary game. The bronze medal was by no means a given for the USA squad, but this time USA came prepared to fight and to win. Goaltender Jack Campbell once again proved his invaluable worth and made save after save with poise and confidence. (Campbell would go on to be named the tournament's top goaltender, an award he undoubtedly deserved.) Campbell was not tested much throughout the first period, as the US team dominated play and peppered Swedish goalie Fredrik Petersson Wentzel with thirteen shots on goal.
The Rangers had three prospects playing in this bronze medal game, and all three earned at least a point. Although Sweden struck first on the scoreboard to break a 0-0 tie in the second period, prospect Chris Kreider scored a critical power play goal less than two minutes later to even up the score. Kreider struggled in the beginning of the contest, having frustrated the crowd by dumping the puck into the offensive zone on a potential four-on-two break, but he began to dominate after this goal. He scored the insurance goal in the last two minutes of the game with a wicked wrist shot that sent Wentzel's water bottle flying, and went on to earn the honor of being named USA's Player of the Game. Fellow Rangers prospect and USA alternate captain Ryan Bourque picked up an assist on Panthers' prospect Nick Bjugstad eventual game winning goal, upping his tournament total to three assists. Jesper Fasth brought Sweden within one with a hardworking goal, collecting his own rebound and firing it past a sprawling Jack Campbell. Fasth's goal was his fourth of the tournament, bringing his point total to six.
Team USA clinched the bronze when Chris Kreider scored in the final minutes of the game off of a beautiful two-on-one rush, putting the final score at 4-2. Even with the inevitable disappointment of not earning the gold medal, this team made history by becoming the first US squad to win back-to-back medals and the first to win a medal on home ice.
Team Canada made history, too, enduring arguably the country's most heartbreaking meltdown of all time and losing in the gold medal round for the second year in a row. Team Canada got off to a comfortable lead with goals from Ryan Ellis, Carter Ashton, and tournament MVP (and Los Angeles Kings prospect) Brayden Schenn. Team Russia, which had come from behind to win in both the quarterfinals and the finals, appeared to finally run out of gas, as Canada's relentless forecheck kept the puck in Russia's zone for most of the game. The overconfident Canadian team was not prepared for the sudden Russian attack that was launched during the final twenty minutes of regulation. Artemi Panarin and Maxim Kitsyn (another Kings' prospect) led the offense with goals thirteen seconds apart, bringing the game to within one. Kitsyn's goal slipped through Canadian goalie Mark Visentin and began the breakdown for team Canada. Soon after, Russia captain and St. Louis Blues prospect Vladimir Tarasenko, playing through bruised ribs, tied the game at three. Just when the shocked Canadian players and fans were starting to consider a thrilling overtime victory, Artemi Panarin struck again, scoring the go-ahead goal with less than five minutes remaining, and Nikita Dvurechenski completed a smooth breakaway to seal the deal on the most unbelievable comeback in recent WJC history.
Igor Bobkov, a prospect for the Anaheim Ducks, replaced Dmitri Shikin after Canada's third goal, and allowed zero goals on the twenty shots he faced. Yevgeni Kuznetsov, one of the Washington Capitals' most promising Russian prospects since Alexander Ovechkin himself, earned three assists in this game for a total of seven assists and four goals throughout the tournament.

While the ACLU worries about whether a Christmas decoration in the public library or a moment of silent prayer in school violates the First Amendment, other non-Christian nations have no trouble at all with combining religion and government. The notion that a "separation of church and state" is indispensable to civil liberty would have flabbergasted the Founding Fathers. In fact, when the Constitution was adopted, about half of the original states had a "state" religion. Eventually all of these states were disestablished (the "state" religion status was ended) but this had absolutely nothing to do with the First Amendment, whose clear words collectivists always seem unable to read: "Congress shall make no law…." is how that amendment begins. Congress did not mean state legislatures.
Even when state governments had state religions, it did not infringe upon the religious liberties of other Americans. It simply meant that in those states it was proper to recognize a particular branch of Christianity as the one that the state adopted. In states such as Connecticut and Massachusetts, Jews and those who did not belong to the state church, such as Catholics, established parochial schools or went to public schools and colleges, served on juries and voted, and, in general, exercised every practical right which current godless Americans believe flows from the separation of Christ and State (which is what the Separation of Church and State really means to these people).

The cutting edge has a beautiful Damascus layer of VG 5 high carbon steel and stainless steel. It has a VG 5 high carbon steel blade with 0.7 -0.8 % carbon steel for the optimum edge holding ability and 13-15% chromium for stain resistance. Rockwell hardness of 59. It is made with 16 layers of VG5 high carbon and stainless steel for a beautiful Damascus knife that holds the sharpest cutting edge with easy maintenance. The surface of the blade has a Tsuchime pattern which is a unique Japanese design used to prevent food from sticking to the surface of the knife. The Tsuchime pattern is created first by hand hammering the layered metal, then tampering it with heat. Each Tsuchime Damascus style knife has a unique hand hammered pattern.
Kikuichi has a long and distinguished history. Although they have been producing superior cutlery for more than a hundred years, the origin of their company lies some seven hundred years ago. For most of their history they manufactured Samurai swords that bore the Emperor's Chrysanthemum symbol as a mark of their excellence. Today, their ancestor's swords are considered national treasures in Japan. Kikuichi uses the same techniques used for making swords in their cutlery manufacturing and the results are amazing. Unlike ordinary stainless steel knives and scissors, the sharpness of their high-quality, handcrafted products is easily maintained. All Kikuichi knives come gift boxed with sharpening and care instructions.

We love our flooring from LL. They were professional, courteous, and easy to work with. Some of the boards are shorter, but its the nature of this species, and the wider planks. The pics online make it always look more red. but the color is really a beautiful rich mahogany color, with some variation.

Comments about Virginia Mill Works 3/4" x 4-3/4" Golden Teak Handscraped:
It's a beautiful floor. Installed by Lumber Liquidators installers, thru Home Service Store (HSS). Process was easy - installers handled delivery, moving of appliances in kitchen, and demolition (removal of carpet, linoleum and substandard fiberboard, the later replaced with pressed board plywood). One slight negative to me was the number of short boards (many only about a foot long) but the installers didn't seem to mind and the floor still looks great.

Comments about Virginia Mill Works 3/4" x 4-3/4" Golden Teak Handscraped:
15 easy step to laying a wood floor over concrete....
assuming real Wood and not an engineered floor (which more then likely is a lot easier to install)
I used: http://www.lumberliquidators.com/ll/c/Golden-Teak-Acacia-Handscraped-Virginia-Mill-Works-VMGT5/10006652
Note: besides the look, this wood has a small micro bevel on all 4 sides, which will help hide any error you may make
1) read and ask questions, learn as much as you can about laying wood floors
2) Purchase wood and have delivered to your home.
3) Have wood sit in house for about 1 week (not Garage), but in the house. It must "react" to the normal house environment.
4) remove furniture
5) remove Rug
6) remove tack board around parameter of room that held rug down
7) OPTIONAL: Remove baseboard; sand lightly, and Paint in the Garage. Store for now
8) OPTIONAL: Paint Room (best do it now before new floor is down)
9) Lay down Moister Barrier (http://www.lumberliquidators.com/ll/c/mil-Poly-Sheeting-sft-per-roll-Dream-Home-POL/10008736)
10) Lay down Elastilon (http://www.lumberliquidators.com/ll/c/Self-Adhesive-Underlayment-Elastilon-ELASTILON107/10002503)
11) Begin laying down wood flooring..... usually best in the long direction of the room (the first few rows are the most critical, and the most difficult. Remember you must leave a Gap between wood and wall for expansion. They have to be laid straight and stay straight. I found sometimes the moister barrier, because it is plastic, will allow the wood to "move". You have to ensure the first few rows remain straight (true to the wall). Once you have 4-5 rows down, there is usually enough weight (in wood) to ensure nothing moves. I found 99% of the Virginia Mills wood to be perfect in size (width). All pieces must fit exact, no gaps. If you find a rare piece that off, even by a 1/16 of an inch, put it aside. Use it for one of the pieces that you may have to cut. Any tiny spaces can case small gaps the rest of the way across the room. All joints must be offsets no two parallel boards should have joints within 6". ALWAYS REMEMBER: Measure twice, cut Once!!!
12) Re-install Trim, caulk where needed
13) install any shoe moldings or threshold you may need if an height difference exist between roomed just completed and adjoining rooms
14) Return Furniture... make sure to have pads on all feet, you don't want to scratch your new floor
15) sit back and relax... admire your work
Other notes: The Golden Teak that I used is extremely hard. and can handle a lot of abuse.... I can not tell you some of the heavy stuff I dropped on the floor without making a mark. If you do get any minor scratches, I would with this wood, brow shoe polish (Paste) matches perfectly. And remember this style of wood is hand scraped.... so it just adds to the "beauty" of the wood.
Because of the hardest of this wood.... do not attempt without proper tools. Most basic would be a 10" miter saw. If any pieces have to be RIPed, you will need a table saw (or at least a friend with one.
Between my house and my some, I have laid 9 floors. Each time I lean a little more. I lot of work, but a lot of enjoyment when completed. If you feel you are not handy, deffiently go for a floating engineered floor where the pieces lock together

1 answer
A:This is a solid wood product and has no added formadehyde in the finish process.
Q:I see on all these reviews that most of the Golden Teak hand scraped Acacia everyone is complaining about "short boards". Is this a LL defect, or a general trait to this wood species to have shorter boards? I have order 800 square feet, and am very nervous.. Would love someones input on this issue. Would also love to see some other pictures of people hand scraped acacia installs. All pictures online look so red, but not so much in person. PLEASE SEND ME PICTURES AND ADVICE :)
1 answer
A:This is not a defect. The tree is very small and that's why the boards do not exceed 4' in length. But because of that the customer gains the advantage to glue a ¾" product to an on grade or above concrete slab. We recommend going to your local lumber liquidators store and they can provide free samples of this product. Thank you for your inquiry
