Bahraini Ambassador Discusses Bahrain and Middle East at Naval Academy
Posted on: April 12, 2013 08:00 EDT by Jessica Clark
Bahraini Ambassador to the U.S. Houda Nonoo spoke at the Naval Academy March 21 about her country's pursuit of democratic values and the relationship between Bahrain and the U.S.
Nonoo is the first female Bahraini ambassador to the U.S. and the first Jewish ambassador to be appointed in a Middle Eastern country.
Prior to her appointment, Nonoo was president of the Bahrain Human Rights Watch Society where she worked on issues such as women's rights and labor conditions. She had for three years been a member of the Shura Council, Bahrain's parliament.
Nonoo opened her remarks by honoring the long-standing relationship between Bahrain and the United States, especially the U.S. Navy. There has been an American naval presence in Bahrain since 1948.
"Although there have been many regional crises since then, and although America has not always been popular among our neighbors, Bahrain has been proud to work side by side with our American allies in the service of our shared interests and values," said Nonoo. "I have visited Annapolis many times and each time I do I'm reminded of the many reasons that make the United States a great country: honor, service and sacrifice."
Bahrain remains proud to serve as the home of the U.S. Navy's 5th Fleet, said Nonoo.
"The endurance of our military and security is particularly important as we confront common threats throughout the region," she said.
That continuing relationship is vital to the broader security of the Middle East, she said.
Nonoo went on to discuss the challenges Bahrain has faced in its endeavor to embrace democracy, especially since the Arab Spring in 2011.
"Bahrain's history is as a meeting place for trade between empires, and our exposure to a wide variety of cultures has bred an atmosphere of tolerance and respect for minorities that is uncommon in our corner of the world," she said.
For example, Bahrain has set the example for the region with its position on women's rights, opening its first school for girls in 1928 and granting women the right to vote in municipal elections in 1934. Women now serve in a number of areas in Bahraini society - as cabinet members, diplomats, teachers, judges, and in both houses of parliament.
Bahrain's parliament was established more than a decade ago as part of a series of reforms instituted by King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa to make Bahrain's political system more democratic.
"It has led objectively to the largest expansion of political and economic liberty among Middle Eastern countries, a widely accepted fact prior to February 2011," said Nonoo.
On February 14, 2011, Bahrainis took to the streets to demand greater employment opportunities and better access to affordable housing, but these peaceful demonstrations were hijacked by a small group of extremists in an attempt to advance the divisive sectarian agenda, she said.
The demonstrations strained social cohesion, imperiled law and order, and brought Bahrain to the brink of civil war," said Nonoo. "These events have placed the Bahraini government in the unfortunate position in which it must balance the need to protect freedom of expression with how to confront violent protest and imperiled public safety.
"As someone who owes a tolerant, multicultural, nonsectarian Bahrain a great deal for my personal and professional success, it has been very painful to watch how sectarian strain has brought Bahrain to where it is today," she said.
The government of Bahrain has taken a number of important steps to shed light on abuses, implement meaningful reforms and pursue a dialogue that will ultimately lead to the resolution of political differences within the country, and Nonoo said she is heartened by the response.
"The reform program of the past decade may not have yet accomplished all it set out to, but the future of Bahrain requires that we move forward and not backward," she said. "Any resolution to our political differences requires that we preserve the freedoms Bahrain has already achieved while working to make its political system more representative."
Nonoo said the success of this national dialogue is especially important given Bahrain's centrality to American national security.
"Bahrain greatly values our military relationship with the United States and understands that American power is a force for good in the Middle East," she said. "As Bahrain's representative in the United States, I'm committed to working with our friends and allies to build a better future for all Bahrainis. Although the work remains difficult, a progressive and inclusive Bahrain is worth fighting for."

On July 17 the Utah Board of Regents approved a task force recommendation that will, in effect merge, the College of Eastern Utah into the Utah State University higher education system.
The official term for the merger, according to CEU interim president Mike King is to call the local college a "comprehensive regional college within their system.
"Though this gives us a direction, there are many questions to be answered and issues to address as we move through the next steps in this process," said King in an email to college employees.
"It is the intent of the commissioner to hire a transition director to act as an intermediary between CEU, USU, the commissioner's office and the BOR task force. The main responsibility will be to help craft an MOU (memorandum of understanding) that will protect the needs and interests of both schools and be acceptable to all parties."
For two years, the college, CEU students and employees have been in a state of limbo, not knowing for sure what would happen to the school.
Options seemed to range from phasing out the facility to keeping CEU a free standing junior college.
The USU merger idea had been bantered around for years and few people were surprised by the decision of the task force that had been studying the issue nor the decision of the full board of regents last week.
King said a lot is still up in the air and how things will exactly happen remains uncertain.
"I don't know the structure of the negotiation process at this point, but do know that it will need to involve several individuals from our campus that represent various interest groups," stated King.
The interim president asked in the email that all employees think of the things directly related to their departments that will need to be addressed during such negotiations.
"This next phase of work will be critical for the entire CEU community," he wrote. "Your (employee) input and cooperation during this time will be absolutely necessary to ensure that CEU is heard as we construct the MOU that sets our future."
Once things are hammered out, the board of regents plan to ask the Utah Legislature to pass guidelines making the merger complete.
The board of regents resolution indicates:
CEU has done an excellent job for the past 70 years in meeting the educational needs of the citizens of eastern Utah and has improved the lives of thousands of state residents.
The College of Eastern Utah faces increasing challenges, largely driven by a 26 percent decline in enrollment during the past five years.
CEU has the highest instructional costs per student (state appropriations, tuition and other instructional expenditures) compared to other Utah higher education institutions.
The College of Eastern Utah has a much heavier dependence than other USHE institutions an state tax funds - more than seven dollars for every dollar of tuition.
Declining state revenues (a reduction of 17 percent of ongoing state funds during FY 2010 and FY 2011) are challenging CEU to remain financially sound.
CEU uses state funds at a disproportionate raze compared to other Utah colleges in order to recruit students; and
The financial capacity of the College of Eastern Utah to meet current and future educational needs in the southeastern region of the state is increasingly limited.
CEU has done an admirable job in responding to state budget cuts.
The College of Eastern Utah continues to provide a quality educational experience for its students.
Utah State University, in fulfillment of its statewide land-grant mission, is prepared to establish a comprehensive regional college with campuses in Price and Blanding.
The faculty at the College of Eastern Utah is well qualified and can be integrated into the educational structure of USU.
The southeastern region of Utah needs to be served with a comprehensive set of educational programs, including vocational, community college, baccalaureate and graduate level programs.
Utah State University can enhance regional economic development opportunities in the southeastern region.
Therefore, let it be resolved that:
â¢Maintaining the status quo condition of the College of Eastern Utah is not a viable long-term option..
â¢CEU should be affiliated with Utah State University to meet the challenges it faces and to enhance higher education programs for the residents in the southeastern region of the state.
â¢The affiliation of CEU within the multi-campus system will be as a comprehensive regional college, which will be different from the status of other USU regional campuses.
â¢Utah State University will be charged with responsibility for the governance, personnel, finances and facilities management of the College of Eastern Utah through statutory amendments and regents' policy changes.
â¢The characteristics of a "comprehensive regional college" include:
College of Eastern Utah will be led by a chancellor, who will be the resident chief executive officer of USU-CEU. The chancellor will report directly to the president of Utah State University.
A diverse range of student activities, cultural, social and athletic programs will be supported.
Lower community college tuition rates for lower division and career and technical education programs will be maintained
The College of Eastern Utah will be overseen by the USU Board of Trustees.
The current CEU Board of Trustees will transition to a regional advisory council.
The governor will be encouraged to appoint a southeastern Utah resident to be a member of the USU Board of Trustees. If necessary, the size of the current USU board will be increased to facilitate the representation.
The specific provisions of the status of CEU as a comprehensive regional college within the USU system will be formalized in a memorandum of understanding.
The memorandum of understanding will be developed through discussions between CEU and USU staff to be initiated immediately.
The development of the memorandum of understanding will be overseen by the commissioner's office in collaboration with the regents' CEU task force.
An independent representative of the commissioner will facilitate the development of the memorandum of understanding.
The board of regents will continue to monitor the implementation of the memorandum of understanding for two years after the passage of enabling legislation.
â¢In January 2010, required legislative changes will be sought.
â¢If enabling legislation is enacted, during spring 2010, relevant board of regents policies will be amended to reflect affiliation of the College of Eastern Utah within the USU higher education system.
â¢If enabling legislation is enacted, on July 1, 2010, CEU will begin operation as a comprehensive regional college within the USU multi-campus system.

Public Garden Career Center - View Internship
Conservation Research and Records Internship
Category: Horticulture
Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden
Coral Gables, FL
Posted: Thursday, January 10, 2013
The vision of the Conservation & Horticulture Program of Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden is rooted in our mission statement: to save tropical plant diversity by exploring, explaining, and conserving the world of tropical plants. By working closely with our colleagues at a private botanic garden in Palm Beach County, we have developed a unique program that exposes interns to two very different professional arenas in the botanic world. Interns will spend a term of six months at each location.
Our interns are able to develop a wide range of skills by working alongside experts in two different botanic gardens. Interns will gain exposure to conservation and horticultural methods with a focus on native,Caribbean and tropical plants. Interns will gain an intimate understanding of the role of botanic gardens in horticulture, plant diversity, education and the community.
Under the direction of a mentor, each intern will select an independent project topic, which will be completed throughout the term and culminate in a public presentation. Interns participate in four group field trips throughout the program. Field trips are selected each year to introduce interns to various ecosystems, botanic institutions and professional avenues within the botanic world.
The Conservation Research & Records internship focuses upon developing the practical skills necessary to effectively support conservation research and collections management activities, with a focus on native, Caribbean and tropical species. This program emphasizes research, data entry, record keeping and mapping.
The prospective candidate should have or be pursuing a degree in Horticulture, Biology, Botany, Environmental Studies/Sciences or related fields at the undergraduate or graduate level, or have demonstrated interest and ability relating to plant conservation or tropical horticulture.
Prospective candidates should be highly motivated and well organized with a strong work ethic, in addition to being willing and able to work full days outdoors in hot and humid environments. The successful candidate will be required to undergo a thorough background check prior to beginning the internship.
For more details about our program and how to apply please visit our webpage: http://www.fairchildgarden.

|Induction Programs and Mentoring
Back to Teaching Quality main page.
The terms induction and mentoring have become synonymous in most states and school districts across the country. Although used interchangeably, they actually have different meanings, both of which are equally important in retaining new and beginning teachers. Induction programs offer a wider support system than mentoring alone by providing guidance and introduction to a position as well as help in curriculum planning, evaluation, professional development and mentoring. Mentoring or coaching includes one-on-one support and feedback by an experienced, veteran teacher to a novice teacher resulting in increased skills and confidence necessary for success in the teaching profession and are generally a component of a more intensive induction program.
It is within the first few years of actual teaching in the classroom that teachers can become accomplished professionals. It is also true that within the first three years of teaching, those without induction programs or support are twice as likely to leave. New teachers who participate in induction programs and receive quality mentoring are the ones who adjust to the profession, and experience more job satisfaction resulting in increased retention rates in schools, over teachers who receive little or no support. Participation not only benefits and has a positive effect on the inexperienced, but on the experienced teachers as well.

By TERRY WILLISSun Advocate reporter
So I am writing this as I float down the river. We just ran the rapid at Jack Creek on the Green River. Not much water here, lots of rock showing.
I have seen about 10 blue heron so far and there were bear tracks on one of the beaches we stopped at to pick up trash.
Okay, I didn't really write this while floating down the river, but the technology exists and is affordable enough that I could have done it. Right now while you read this, I will be on the river, but I did not take the laptop and my cell phone is at home.
I am almost disconnected. We have a satellite phone on board for emergencies, but checking into the office is not one. It is harder and harder for some people to really disconnect any more.
True, the technology that has allowed people to carry their cell phones into wild areas and call for help has saved lives. It has also provided prime time drama for television. But I feel like it has made it less frightening for some to go into situations less prepared than they should.
When help is perceived as a phone call away then is the wilderness near as wild?
Experience is more than a GPS device and a boatload of REI gear. Accidents happen to even the most knowledgeable among us, but they are less likely to be the type that could have been avoided.
As more and more people flock to get a taste of the wild, counties are having to grapple with the growing expense of search and rescue. Carbon county is not as hard hit as places like Emery, Grand and Wasatch counties, but it all takes its toll.
No one with even half a conscious would think about not providing rescue services to someone in need. These services are provided at no charge to those being rescued. Each person gets the same amount of effort, whether they were the victim of bad fate or their own stupidity.
If people had to help defray the cost of rescue would it make a difference? Maybe it would keep someone from calling for help because they were afraid they couldn't afford the cost. It would be tragic if a life was lost because of a financial decision.
Would you charge more for human error than for random act of nature? Who would decide which is which?
Anyway, if you are going out this summer, be prepared. Even if it is 90 degrees during the day, you might want to consider packing a jacket if you are going to be in a place you might get stranded.
Water, water and more water for desert treks is a rule chiseled in stone. Matches, flashlights, energy bars and a few other small essentials could make the difference between survival and doom.
And thanks ahead of time to the local search and rescue volunteers who are ready at a moments notice to come out and help. They give of their time and equipment to make sure we all come home.
Well almost time for camp for the evening. Hope there's no bear track on this beach.

Who will be crowned King of the Rock? For 29 long years, more than 1,500 men dreamed of nothing but getting off of Alcatraz. But this year, hundreds will try their hardest to make it onto the island, with the goal of being King of the Rock.
Here's how it works, the qualifiers and finals will incorporate the normal one-on-one basketball set-up where players go head-to-head on an outdoor court, using a single elimination tournament bracket. In other words, its win or go home buddy.
The rules and scoring will be the same as regular hoops, shots will either count as 2 or 3 points and five fouls is an automatic L.
Here's where things get crazy, the players will be engaged in four intense half-court games going on at once, each getting its own ref, court manager and scoreboard.
All winners must immediately hop to the next court to face another player, this is where a player must bring their A, B, and C game if they want to be crowned King of The Rock.

HENDERSON HARBOR Ronald J. Ditch has spent the past 57 years chartering Lake Ontario. But the veteran fishing guide and owner of Ron Ditch & Sons Charter Service and Marina has been noticing rocks emerging above the water that hes never seen before.
Ive never seen the lake anything near this low, Mr. Ditch said. Water is normally on its way back this time of the year, but it seems to be getting even lower.
Lake Ontarios water level neared an all-time low for November, and was at its lowest since 1964.
According to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in Detroit, Lake Ontario was at 243.73 feet last month, only 8.7 inches higher than the historic minimum recorded in 1934.
As of Dec. 20, the mean water level on the lake was 243.62 feet 10.5 inches below the long-term average for December but 20.6 inches above the record low.
The International St. Lawrence River Board of Control, which determines the outflow at Moses-Saunders hydroelectric dam at Massena, attributes this largely to dry conditions experienced since last spring.
The lake would be about 5 inches below long-term average in May 2013 if the basin receives average water supplies, said Frank A. Bevaqua, spokesman for the International Joint Commission, a binational entity established to manage shared U.S.-Canadian waters.
Lake Ontario received only 30 percent of its average November precipitation. And over the past 12 months, Ontario received 18 percent less than its long-term average precipitation, according to the Corps of Engineers.
In its most recent outflow strategy report, the River Board of Control said the lake is only 4.3 inches above the lower limit and about 0.4 inch below what it tries to meet under an international water regulation plan.
Over the past couple of months, the St. Lawrence Seaway has been warning shippers of near alert levels in sections of the Great Lakes-St. Lawrence shipping channel, and recreational boaters and marinas had to pull vessels out of the water at the end of September, almost a month earlier than usual, because of the low water.
Supply from Lake Erie Lake Ontarios primary water source also has been low because of the drought. Like Ontario, Lake Erie received only 30 percent of its average precipitation last month, according to the Corps of Engineers.
Experts also point out that the decline in ice cover in the Great Lakes has led to more evaporation.
Using satellite measurements from 1973 to 2010, researchers at National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administrations Great Lakes Environmental Research Laboratory have found that the Great Lakes average ice coverage is down by 71 percent with the highest loss, 88 percent, seen in Lake Ontario.
Historic water data show that in both 1934 and 1964, it took at least two years for Lake Ontario to recover to its long-term average levels following low summer and winter water levels.
But the recovery rate ultimately would depend on the water supply mainly precipitation between now and spring, Mr. Bevaqua said, adding that the Corps of Engineers predicts that under the high-supply scenario, Lake Ontario in May could rise to about 5 inches above its long-term average level.

At the time of the fire, police were unable to locate the owner of the restaurant. They later discovered a body in the burned out building.
After several months, the medical examiner's office determined the body found in the building was restaurant owner Lorraine Qutermous.
Investigators say they will not comment further out of respect to Qutermous' family.

If you're a hunter, don't be surprised if someone calls you and wants to know how your hunts went this fall.
The Division of Wildlife Resources is starting its annual survey of hunters across the state.
If you receive a call, the DWR encourages you to stay on the line and help with the survey. "The information you give us will help us manage wildlife so you can have a good hunting experience next year," says Heather Bernales, biometrician with the DWR.
Discovery Research Group, a private contractor, is conducting the research for the DWR.
"Our researchers will want to know what your hunting experience was like and what ideas you have about managing the wildlife you like to hunt," Bernales says. "They will not ask you for personal information. If the person you're talking with tries to get personal information from you, know the call isn't from us and hang up."

After being caught calling one of his own Labour supporters a bigot when he thought he was off microphone, Gordon Brown has been apologizing and recanting his statement at every opportunity. His reference to Gillian Duffy as "a sort of bigoted woman" came after her comments about Eastern European immigration, something many in Britain feel is a growing problem. Of course, the news has focused on the aftermath of Brown's gaffe and his attempts to apologize to Duffy. Meanwhile, Duffy seemed completely shocked that anything she said would have implied she was prejudiced. What the news has not focused on is whether or not she really is a bigot. Few people would agree they were in fact a bigot, despite their prejudicial views, because nobody ever thinks they are one.
Past research (using implicit measures and physiological responses) has shown that most people are prejudiced to some extent. But, most people, even those with extreme prejudices, deny such attitudes. According to recent research highlighted in the Journal of Applied Psychology, this may be because exposure to representations of prejudice in culture promotes the self-belief that individuals are not prejudiced. In a series of experiments, the authors exposed American participants to bigot stereotypes (through either priming or more explicit media representations) and found that those participants exposed rated themselves as less prejudiced than those who were not exposed beforehand. The authors suggest that this is due to cues of prejudice providing targets for downward social comparison. So, if exposure to bigot cues can lead people to believe they are less bigoted, then perhaps all the campaign focus on anti-immigration and the recent surge in support for racist parties like the BNP will lead other British people to think they are less bigoted than they actually are.

PAWTUCKET — Freeze frame. The School Department currently has a balanced budget for fiscal year 2014. However, while the School Committee approved the $102 million spending plan on Wednesday night, there are several big expenses looming that could change this picture considerably.
Schools Superintendent Deborah Cylke noted that, by Charter rule, the School Department is required to send the city a budget by April 30 of each year. On April 23, a fiscal 2014 budget was presented to school officials reflecting known revenue and expenditures.
However, this was too early to know how much revenue would be coming from the state, and because of the federal "sequestration," there were no final figures for the federally funded programs. It was reported in April there was a potential for a $1.1 million surplus.
By a May 14 budget update, Cylke said some key changes in expenditures had occurred, leaving a potential $427,788 deficit. While there was an increase in state aid, the city decided to not include $511,000 in its "maintenance of effort" allotment to the schools and there were anticipated expenses related to the Council 94 (non-certified employees) contract.
Additionally, the budget was adjusted to anticipate a 10 percent reduction in federal funds, with these necessary expenses moved to the general fund, and estimated savings figures from teacher "breakage" (savings generated from retirements) and other unidentified cuts were excluded.
Cylke said that with the legislative session now over and state aid confirmed, and with the city budget finalized, new School Finance Officer Melissa Devine has proposed a budget that addresses the previously estimated $427,788 deficit. A key piece is that 11 teachers have officially retired, generating a savings of $293,320 in the "teacher breakage" line that was higher than an original projection.
Devine also outlined a number of smaller budget adjustments and revisions, including those based on knowing the actual revenue figures from the state on vocational and charter school tuitions and reductions in the employee health benefits from 4.5 percent to 4 percent.
The good news is that medical reserves are currently about $1.3 million. School officials also learned that with the final education funding formula now enacted, the district is gaining an additional $794,664 in state aid over what had been originally estimated. Federal funding figures are yet to be finalized, although Cylke said that the revenue come in higher than the 10 percent reduction figure that school officials had been warned expect because of the sequestration.
However, Cylke also pointed out to the school board that there are three substantial budget categories left "to be determined" that will affect the FY14 budget. In addition to the final determination of the federal funding allocation, there are additional ceiling repairs needed in the schools, and the contract expenses associated when new bargaining agreements are reached for the teachers and administrators. Contact negotiations are currently underway, and nothing has been set aside in the FY14 budget for any salary increases or other expenses
Cylke said the initial $179,000 repair work to address the Potter-Burns and Nathanael Greene schools' ceilings was funded from the FY13 budget. However, when she asked the architectural firm, Rowse Architects, to conduct an inspection of the district's school buildings that were of a similar construction vintage, it was reported that several other ceiling repair and safety issues need to be addressed. These include problems involving a plaster beam over the pool at Shea High School, asbestos removal from the principal's office at Nathanael Greene, four ceilings that need immediate replacing at Potter-Burns, and other classrooms and public spaces at Tolman High and Goff and Slater Junior High schools that have been closed due to identified concerns.
When pushed by committee members for a price on these repairs, Cylke said an initial estimate had been given of $700,000. However, she said she thought this seemed high and was going to be reviewing it with the department's building consultants. She also said she would look further into which repairs are a priority to do by September, or consider keeping some of the areas off-limits until a later date. Cylke added that she was also looking into whether there was any state or federal money for emergency repairs that the schools could qualify for.
School Committee member Raymond Spooner noted that with all of the unknowns, the budget is "technically, not balanced." School Committee members David Coughlin and Joanne Bonollo also said they did not like the idea of approving a budget that was not going to remain "balanced" for long, given the outstanding expenses and variables. However, Cylke said that without an approved budget submitted to the city, she would be uncomfortable approving any purchase orders and might even have to seek a waiver to cover School Department payroll expenses.
School Committee Chairman Alan Tenreiro noted that this scenario has happened with previous school budgets, given the timing of the budget process. He said the spending plan will obviously require budget amendments over the next few months.
After lengthy discussion, the board approved the FY14 budget by a vote of 5 to 1, with Coughlin the lone opponent. Committeewoman Nicole Nordquist was not in attendance.
On a related note, Cylke said the new batch of school repairs will have to go out to bid soon, and the School Committee will have to schedule a meeting in early August to approve the bids. This leaves a small window for the contractors to do the work before the school year begins again on Aug. 28
In other matters, the committee also voted to approve job descriptions to hire a special education director that will be renamed "director of student personnel services" and for two new positions, called "multi-tiered systems of support" (MTSS). The individuals in the MTSS jobs will work with the staff at the four elementary schools that were recently placed on "warning" status by the state Department of Education.
School Committeewoman Sandra Cano had argued that she would rather see the students at these schools get more direct support in the classroom, rather than having the extra help go to the teachers. However, elementary school performance officer Kathleen Siriani said these positions are designed to evaluate data that will show where individual students are falling behind and will help the teachers reach out to these students with early intervention.
The committee also approved a contract for the implementation of a new computer system called Skyward that will be the School Department's student information contact system. The system allows for a broad range of data to be entered on the student's behalf, from attendance, grades and coursework to health and medical records, and the information will stay with the student throughout their school career.
The three-year year contract for the Skyward system costs a total of $319,590, with the first year, which includes training for teachers and implementation, being the most expensive, at $169,110. The money for year one of the system is included in the FY14 budget, Cylke said.

This putter is definitely a huge step up from my 15 dollar Powerbilt putter. Despite that, it is definitely going to take some getting used to. It threw me off on the first few holes. After that, putts that would have normally cost me 2 strokes went in the first time. If you can get past that, as well as the cosmetic blemishes, then this is definitely the putter for you. Good bang for your buck.
The weight at the bottom threw me off on the first couple of holes, but after I got the hang of it it was amazing. I was sinking putts left and right from distances I never thought possible!! BAG IT
Excellent flatstick!
This thing just keeps rolling the rock!!
I don't know how a putter could look so bad . But it functions

Well, where to begin, at the beginning. I had this mole on my right upper arm, it had been there for years. I would look at it, and know that it wasn't right; and that little voice kept saying, "go, go have it checked." In May, 2009 I went to my primary doctor and she did a biopsy, calling me the next night and telling me I had melanoma. I had no idea that it was as serious as it was. She sent me for a chest x-ray and blood work, all were fine. I went and had a wide excision done - they went right to my bone - I knew then that this wasn't alright. They checked 3 sentinel lymph nodes; all were fine. My surgeon assured me that it couldn't spread in my blood, and that I was just stage 1. Things went along fine, and then in November, I woke up in the middle of the night feeling this ball in my abdomen. I went to see my doctor - she sent me for a CT scan, then to the surgeon. None of them expected it to be melanoma - it was. I was then sent to an oncologist and I thought he was going to tell me it was stage 3. But no, with almost tears in his eyes he told me it was stage 4, metatastic melanoma. I felt so helpless. How could this be happening? Well, I buckled in for a long ride. I went to U of M and met with a great team there. They advised me of the treatment options - no chemo, just clinical trials and IL-2 - I opted for the IL-2. That happened in January, 2010. It was a horrible experience. My blood pressure was extremely low, 60/30, so they put me on dopamine, and every 15 minutes a nurse was there checking me. I prayed and prayed. I knew God was there with me. I made it through 5 doses each time. I am home now, waiting. I go for another CT scan in February and back to U of M on March 10th. I guess at the 3 month mark, which will be in June, they will decide if I have to do the IL-2 again. There are no mets, yet, on my vital organs; but I have 2 tumors - one on my shoulder and one on my leg, which both seem to be getting larger each day. I don't know of anyone I can talk to so I came here and got a lot of information. Please keep me in your prayers. I am going to fight this MONSTER!!! Thanks for listening. Jo
Re: Jolaina(5/22/2011 - 11:33pm)
Your story is amazing and shows your strength and faith. Please let me know how you are.... Praying....a friend in Texas.
Re: Jolaina(5/24/2011 - 12:28am)
Hey what's up,
I understand you're feeling about not being able to talk to anyone. I'm presently waiting fort the results of my sentinel node biopsy and I'm worried sick. I could kick myself in the ass because like you, I noticed it and just forgot about it everytime I went to tthe doctor. Anyhow have to just deal with the present. Be strong and give it your best. There's always someone to answer any questions on this site.
Re: Jolaina(10/3/2011 - 5:18pm)
Hi, I just read your post. How are you doing?
Your story brought tears to my eyes. You are very brave. I know that God is with you.
I am praying for you!
"Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding." ~ Proverbs 3:5
Re: Jolaina(11/9/2011 - 1:12pm)
wow, i am having a sentinel node biopsy next week and assumed if that is clear i would be fine....scary stuff. i just got diagnosed a few weeks ago, we have to go into the mucsle to remove the rest of it, and also am currently waiting on results from one he removed on my butt......i put this off for about 6 months, and glad i finally went in, but it wasn't for that, i hurt my foot and its not healin so i thought i would ask about my arm at the same time. i just found this site and it seems very helpful....vent all you want, thats exactly what helps....good luck and keep your attitude up! ill be watching your progress :)
Re: Jolaina(1/15/2012 - 12:02pm)
Hi, My name is Tamarah and my partner, Shannon, first had melanoma removed in Feb of 2011 from her back, another on her side, and two sentinel lymphnodes removed which came back clear. Then we went for our annual mammograms and her's came back with something which a sonogram and biopsy showed to be melanoma. That was November of 2011. She had the lump and all of the lymph nodes beneath her left arm removed. They analyzed 25 of the nodes and one was cancerous. They sent us to a medical oncologist and since she currently doesn't have measureable cancer ( apparently PET scans only detect if they are a bigger than a certain size) there is no way to measure the effectiveness of any treatment options. So we're approaching from a nutritional angle. I read a book called Anti-Cancer, and it explained that author's perspective on a cancer cell's growth. What I got from the reading was cancer cells need inflammation to grow. And the second thing I got was we all have cancer cells and our immune system finds them, breaks them down and dispells them. So I decided that we needed to focus on anit-inflammatory foods and nutritional supplements, and foods and supplements that boost the immune system. Shannon is taking Green Tea capsules, Tumeric capsules, Q-10, Flaxseed oil, and Coral calcium. Additionally we are buying grassfed meats, Omega-3 enriched eggs, and organic omega 3 enriched milk. Some fruits and vegetables can be cleaned free of pesticides etc and don't need to be organically grown. But some foods, like berries, broccoli, apples need to be organically grown to be free of bad stuff. My theory on ridding our diets of hormones and pesticides etc is that Shannon's immune system doesn't need to be fighting the bad stuff in what we eat, It needs to be fighting the teeny tiny cancer cells that could grow to be melanoma. I don't know if we're on the right path, or if it will do any good, but I thought I'd share this information. I believe that to fight cancer we need to have confidence in our medical providers, we need to have a strong support system, we need to have a positive attitude, proper nutrition and a strong spiritual path. That's what we're trying. God bless you and may He make the way to your healing be open.
Be the change you want to see in the world.
Re: Jolaina(1/31/2012 - 10:45am)
You are in my thoughts and prayers. God bless.
Re: Jolaina(2/28/2012 - 2:27am)
Hang in there Jolaina, I don't know what else to day. You sound like a warrior ready to do battle and you are very pretty. Recently my Dr just told me that the " age spot" on my neck is a actually a mole and I could read his face as to what he thought of it. I have been asking him about this for 2 years. So I insisted on a referal to a specialist as the mole is irregular, two toned , new , growing and the plastic surgeon said it looks suspicious and must come off for a check asap. Now I wait and have to deal with the feeling that this was so avoidable as I have 2 young teens na dthe job is not yet done.
Keep fighting ...Ros
Re: Jolaina(10/30/2012 - 5:30pm)
How are you doing today? I relate to your journey..life changes looking through cancer cells.

Wide varieties of ringtones are preloaded, and the device supports polyphonic, MP3 and AAC ringtone files, so that customization of ringtone style could not be easier. Motorola sums up the phone nicely in their own catchphrase: "…the Motorola EM30 (Cherry Red) connects the sounds that matter most: family, friends, and favorite artists."

Paul Morgan had no clue that the Jefferson County Industrial Development Agency was considering a new building in the Watertown Industrial Center off Starbuck Avenue.
Mr. Morgan is a board member for the Watertown Industrial Center for Business and Industry, and he had not heard that JCIDA officials already were reviewing blueprints for a new facility that would be built on WIC property. WIC board members should have been apprised of that, he said.
William J. Soluri, the industrial centers site manager, said he, too, was surprised to learn that JCIDA had hired Aubertine & Currier Architects, and that the firm drew up blueprints for a new facility when the last he heard, about a year ago, was that the project was on the back burner.
Usually, that would go to the board, he said, noting it had been bypassed in hiring the engineering firm.
After being questioned about the situation by Mr. Morgan and other WIC board members, Mr. Soluri said he approached JCIDA officials to find out more about the plans. He and WIC board Chairman Donald W. Rutherford met a couple of weeks ago with JCIDA CEO Donald C. Alexander to talk about it.
JCIDA also is considering expanding existing offices at the business center, moving into other space there or possibly building or moving off site.
The agency needs the additional space to accommodate three employees who will join its staff, Mr. Alexander has said. It has leased a five-office suite in the WIC since its inception.
Contacted about the WIC boards concerns, Mr. Alexander insisted the plans are very early in the process. He said he had mentioned to it to his board a handful of times and his board had its first meeting on it last Tuesday.
A facilities committee will start exploring options, he said, adding that Mr. Soluri was aware of the possibility of either building or moving into other space.
It would cost about $700,000 to build a 5,500-square-foot structure in a WIC parking lot, and about $365,000 to renovate enough space in Building B, next to its current space in Building A, or to expand its 2,200-square-foot space.
It will take two or three months to put together a more definitive strategy on what to do, he said.
Mr. Alexander called constructing a new building or moving off-site and finding a developer to build elsewhere unlikely choices, leaving expanded space in the WIC facilities as the probable choice.
The WIC facilities are about 37 percent occupied, with several different kinds of companies leasing office or manufacturing space.
But WIC is in the process of evicting one of its largest tenants, Junction Boyz, because of about $225,00 in delinquent payments of rent and utilities, as of Aug. 31. The company also owes $11,218 for a loan it has with the agency for a paint booth Junction Boyz installed at the center.

Hey, thinking of buy a premade gaming computer and was looking at Alienware X51/Aurora. Are they worth it to just buy them or to just build my own? Also, which one is better in terms of getting more for your money?
Building it yourself will definitely save yourself a nice sum of money. If you really want to know the benefits, go ahead and make up a build you might order from Alienware, then source the parts together yourself. You'll notice it's definitely going to be more than a few hundred dollars, which is the difference between getting a mediocre computer and an awesome one. Also quality is assured since you picked the parts yourself, instead of generic parts prebuilts sometimes use.
If you fill this small form out, we'll be able to build a computer to suit your needs and your budget.
Games / Settings Desired
Any other intensive software or special things you do (Frequent video encoding, 3D modeling, etc)
Parts that can be reused
Do you need an OS?
Do you need peripherals (e.g. monitor, mouse, keyboard, speakers, etc)?
Also Dell owns Alienware, so you might be able to get an XPS with similiar specs for cheaper without the branding.
But the best weigh is to order it piece by piece, and have a friend help you if your not quite sure.
"Allons-y!" - David Tennant - 10th Doctor.
"Bow ties are cool." - Matt Smith - 11th Doctor.
building an identical system, its hard to actually beat Alienware, you may save $100 or so, but you will still have to buy an OS and you will lack the support (dell has some of the best in the industry)
however, you can build smarter (Z77 instead of X79) for the same price, however, in general these parts all perform the same, but a Z77 build will let you get a finer tune on your build list, X79 is not really meant for gaming
i7-4790K | Z97 Class. | 16GB DDR3-2400 | GTX-980 | RAIDR | 512GB Samsung 830 | SuperNOVA 1Kw P2 | RV05
Dell U3415w | Ducky Shine3 YoS | Zowie ZA11 | Xonar Essence One | Tannoy Reveal 402
And that is the 3930k, not the standard 3820 that is the no-surcharge baseline for X79 Alienwares.
Intel i5 2500K (4.5 GHz) | Asus Z77 Sabertooth | 16GB Corsair Vengeance LP 1600MHz | Gigabyte Windforcex3 HD 7950 | Crucial M4 128GB | Crucial M550 256GB | Asus Xonar DGX | Samson SR 850 | Zalman ZM-Mic1 | Western Digital Caviar Black 2000GB | Noctua NH-U12P SE2 | Fractal Design Arc Midi | Corsair HX650
Former author of the TankSpot.com Protection Paladin guide
As to what Butlerlog said: Yes, the 3930k at stock isn't better for gaming than any K i5 or i7, but overclocked you will see a different result. Considering the 2011 is the enthusiast platform, overclocked state is what I would look at first, not stock speed. However, I do agree that buying X79 is a complete waste of money but I won't ignore the fact that in an overclocked state they are the top dogs. Is 700$ a reasonable price for 5% increase in fps worth it? No. Especially since the 3930k will not beat the 3570K/3770K in all games.
To the OP: If you are looking for an i7, you are better off with a 3770K, but if your main thing is gaming and you don't do much else than even an i7 will be a huge waste of money. And buying Alienware has never ever given a good price/performance ratio tbh. Alienware is like fashion shoes: they cost alot more than the average pair of shoes but ultimately they will both enable you to walk quite comfortably.
I'd take the i5 any day if 4 FPS is worth 350$
The i7-3930k/x are purely for people that actually need them. Streamers, Media users etc. For a Gamer, they are not worth it in the slightest. Spend the extra for addinational SSD or another GPU

Mind-Body Medicine
New Student Describes her Pathway into Study of Mind-Body Medicine: Helen Paczkowski Andersen02/18/2013
Students enrolled in the Saybrook University's School of Mind Body Medicine often tell stories of how they found their way to Saybrook. Many describe their path as a calling, or as an answer to their quest for finding a new way of working with people, one that addresses the many dimensions of human experience. Helen's story is about meeting a fellow Saybrook student, Beth Haggett, who is also the first student to receive a PhD from Saybrook University School of Mind Body Medicine. While attending a conference facilitated by the Berkana Institute, Helen met Beth, and was moved by Beth's inspiration to make a difference in the world via her experiences and knowledge gained at Saybrook. During the three days they spent together, Beth generously guided some of the conference participants in Qi gong and a shaking exercise. Experiencing these new methods to bring greater mind-body connection as well as hearing about the degree-program at Saybrook planted a seed in Helen's head, which held fast even as Helen returned home to work and her personal and community commitments.
Saybrook Mind-Body Medicine faculty interviewed in Washington Times02/14/2013
There's a problem, says Dr. Eric Willmarth, when patients get their expectations for recovery set by "a Xanax commercial."
In much of medicine, it really is "mind over matter." The trouble is most doctors and hospitals don't practice that way.
That's why Dr. Donald Moss, chair of Saybrook's School of Mind-Body Medicine, told the Washington Times a story about a patient who had a heart attack, and whose "ejection faction" (a measure of how well the heart was pumping) was at 60%. His doctor told him "Your ejection fraction is 60%," and left.
The patient assumed this meant his heart was functioning at 60% of capacity, and suffered a pronounced decline in his physical health.
School of Mind-Body Medicine Students Explore Authentic Leadership and Research in January, 2013 San Diego Residential Programs02/06/2013
Residential Conferences are an integral part of the Saybrook University School of Mind-Body Medicine experiential learning model. The RC's are a meaningful place for students to connect with the Mind-Body Medicine community and dive deeper into their coursework. The January 2013 RC in San Diego included two courses, Intermediate Hypnosis MBM 5625 and Coaching for Health and Wellness MBM 5630, and two optional programs, Authentic Leadership: Leading from Within and a Research Seminar.
Terri Goslin-Jones PhD, a mentor at Saybrook, facilitated the Authentic Leadership seminar. During this seminar the participants used creativity, appreciative inquiry, and "witnessing" to create a leadership vision for themselves. Each participant created a poster or small cards by using magazine photos, yarn, color, and anything that was meaningful for them to represent their exploration towards leading from within. In addition, the group explored Appreciative Inquiry, which uses powerful questions and focused listening to gain a deeper understanding of oneself and another person. Below are some reflections from students who attended the seminar.
Emerging Role of Mobile-Health Technology Interventions for Wellness and Disease Management01/30/2013
Every year millions die from cardiovascular disease, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, lung cancer, HIV infection, and diabetes. These conditions contribute to 40 % of all deaths in the more developed and affluent countries. For each of these diseases, healthy behaviors have been identified, which can prevent onset of these diseases. For example, the onset of cardiovascular diseases and diabetes can be prevented by maintaining a healthy body weight. Once these conditions are present,behavioral and lifestyle change are important for managing the course of these illnesses.
Efforts to increase healthy behaviors and minimize health risk behaviors (such as smoking) become increasingly important in enhancing health in this context. Mobile technology such as texting and smart phones offer platforms for innovative approaches to health enhancement and disease management.

On February 12, 2013, James Lake will make a presentation for the School of Mind-Body Medicine: "The Promise of Integrative Mental Health"
James Lake, MD, is internationally recognized as a pioneer in the integrative mental health movement. Integrative mental health is a comprehensive whole-person approach to mental health care providing an alternative to the mainstream biomedical and pharmaceutical approach to mental health treatment. The addition of evidence-based behavioral, nutritional, and spiritual/transpersonal interventions can supplement and sometimes replace medication regimens for individuals with acute and chronic mental health disorders.
Dr. Lake is the author of several books: Integrative Mental Health Care: A Therapist's Handbook (2009), Complimentary and Alternative Treatments in Mental Health (2007), of Integrative Mental Health Care (2006), and Chinese Medical Psychiatry (2001).
Saybrook University Psychology Student Completes Dissertation on Biofeedback and Yoga for Undergraduate Stress Management01/16/2013
Carla Benejam lives in Salinas, California with one of her three sons and a big tabby cat. When not teaching courses in biology, life science, or psychology at Cal State University Monterey Bay, she spends many days in her apothecary garden, growing and tending herbs and seasonal veggies. Carla has been teaching for ten years and before that owned a rather eclectic used book store in Monterey. She has an affinity for languages and has studied German, French, Spanish and Indonesian, and a little Italian. Travels have taken her to Sumatra (to see young orangutans in the wild), Fiji, Moscow, Singapore and the Malay Peninsula, Britain, France, Spain, Alaska and Hawaii, Nepal, India, and Tibet.
Carla has a bachelor's degree from UC Berkeley in Physical Anthropology, and a master's degree from San Jose State College in Evolutionary Biology. On December 27, 2013, she defended her dissertation and completed her doctorate in Psychology from Saybrook University in San Francisco. She is currently preparing a program of biofeedback for stress relief for college students to be implemented at her university, and is also pursuing life as a garden wise woman. Although a Psychology student, the three individuals guiding her dissertation were all faculty from Saybrook's School of Mind-Body Medicine, chair Donald Moss, and committee members Eric Willmarth and Eliza Bigham.
Saybrook University Graduates First PhD in Mind-Body Medicine: Beth Haggett01/15/2013
Over 30 years ago, as a 19 year old girl, Beth Haggett told her husband that someday she wanted to earn a PhD in Psychoneuroimmunology. When she first heard that Saybrook University was developing a PhD program in Mind-Body Medicine, she jumped at the opportunity and became the first to apply for the new program.
On December 28, 2012, Beth defended her doctoral dissertation, and became the first student to complete the new PhD. Her degree is a "PhD in Mind-Body Medicine with a specialization in Health Care Systems." She achieved her goal within the time frame that she set for herself of three and one half years. Most importantly, because of her mind-body learning, and the self-care that was a component in her mind-body medicine education, her own mental, emotional, and physical health have improved dramatically in the course of her education. Beth's husband and adult children have also benefitted greatly from applying mind-body skills to their lives.

The Dark Horse
Posted by Kevin Arnovitz on Tue, 06/24/08, 02:30pm:
Chad Ford has the Clips snagging Jerryd Bayless in his most recent Mock Draft. From his post to [enter your deity here]'s ear.
Personally, I'm having a hard time infusing too much intrigue into the Clippers' 2008 draft because I firmly believe that the Clippers will have an easy choice to make at #7 - whoever among Russell Westbrook or Eric Gordon remains on the board. But if you're looking for a blue sky, we-just-have-a-feeling-about-that-guy kind of pick for the Clippers, you might want to look at Italian teenager Danilo Gallinari.
The pundits suggest that a Gallinari would appeal to Mike Dunleavy's affinity for "point forwards," but I can't recall any Dunleavy team truly running its offense though a big man. If anything, Dunleavy's tenure with the Clippers is marked by rosters with a woeful lack of quality ballhandlers at the 2-through-5.
Here's Jonathan Givony on Gallinari during the heart of the winter Euroleague season, when Gallinari was balling as well as anyone on The Continent:
It's becoming increasingly usual to see Danilo Gallinari producing almost at will regardless of who he goes up against. His skill repertoire, knowledge of the game and physical gifts propose a devastating equation that hardly anybody can consistently contest...
Gallinari is a well-known solid shooter. Indeed he made a living off his perimeter stroke during his first year of serious veteran competition (in the Italian second division). In this game, it was interesting to see him creating his own shot in a pure face-up one-on-one setting, using a fake and a dribble to release a successful long-range bomb, but also from the low post with a turnaround jumper, cashing in off his size. He can be pretty quick displaying his mechanics, and he shows a great sense of timing to execute every move while always evaluating his match-up's reaction. Indeed, he often makes opponents bite on his fakes, forcing many fouls in the process or just paving his way to the basket. That's logically helped become the dual-threat that he is his with shooting and slashing abilities.
His body control also chimes in there. It's funny, because at first sight you might get the feeling that his big body might somehow escape his control. But the reality couldn't be further, as his body perfectly follows his orders. For example, 6-10 guys (his likely size in shoes) running at full speed in transition tend to bump into opponents that step in their way to the basket, but Danilo has no trouble slashing by them, being able to easily change directions on the run. He actually delivered a spectacular coast-to-coast play that included a behind-the-back direction change he executed with his left hand between two opponents at almost full speed. If not the quickest and most reactive guy around, he is pretty fast when he starts moving, which looks obvious when he plays transition ball. His incredibly long strides help a great deal here as well. Just to emphasize that point, he got to the free throw line an astounding 17 times against Teramo last week.
Every game is a door open to amazement. He's so skilled and fundamentally sound that remarkable plays are bound to happen on a regular basis.
For good measure, here's Givony's interview with the big Italian...
