(B) whether there is a reasonable basis to believe that the affiliated party is substantially responsible for the insolvency of the regulated entity, the appointment of a conservator or receiver for the regulated entity, or the troubled condition of the regulated entity (as defined in regulations prescribed by the Director);
(C) whether there is a reasonable basis to believe that the affiliated party has materially violated any applicable provision of Federal or State law or regulation that has had a material effect on the financial condition of the regulated entity;

(B) Certain payments in contemplation of an event
Any payment which would be a golden parachute payment but for the fact that such payment was made before the date referred to in subparagraph (A)(ii) shall be treated as a golden parachute payment if the payment was made in contemplation of the occurrence of an event described in any subclause of such subparagraph.

(5) Other definitions

(A) Indemnification payment
Subject to paragraph (6), the term "indemnification payment" means any payment (or any agreement to make any payment) by any regulated entity for the benefit of any person who is or was an affiliated party, to pay or reimburse such person for any liability or legal expense with regard to any administrative proceeding or civil action instituted by the Agency which results in a final order under which such person—

(B) Liability or legal expense

Plans for a 4,800-square-foot Nice N Easy Grocery Shoppes convenience store at the old site of Bomax Inc. were unveiled Monday night at the town of Watertown Planning Board meeting.
GYMO principal Patrick J. Scordo showed the site plan to the board while architect James S. Hagan of Syracuse presented the plans for the building, which is designed to accommodate a drive-through window for food and beverage sales. Mr. Scordo confirmed that the station will have a 16-dispenser fuel canopy off Salmon Run Mall Road.
Mr. Scordo said that 40,000-square-feet of the 60,000-square-foot former Bomax building will be demolished to make room for the convenience store, while the remaining 20,000-square-feet will be left standing to be used at the owners discretion.
The site is owned by Toped and Prime development companies, whose principal is Alexandria Bay developer P.J. Simao. The convenience store and gas station will be operated by Valentine Stores, Inc., Watertown, which owns about a dozen Nice N Easy stores in the region, including one just a mile down the road from the proposed location at 19853 Route 12F in the town of Hounsfield.
Mr. Scordo said testing by the state Department of Environmental Conservation has been completed and initial reports do not indicate any environmental issues. He said he has not yet received the departments final document.
Edward J. Valentine, who was there with his brother John P., said once approval is secured, the company hopes to start digging in mid-May and be finished with construction within eight to 12 weeks.
The board recommended a few minor adjustments and the project will appear again on March 4, when a public hearing has been scheduled.
A public hearing has also been scheduled on that date for developer Michael E. Lundys FedEx project, which was presented to the board last month after a proposed project for a 72,000-square-foot Eagle Beverage Facility fell through. Those plans are being developed under the auspices of the Jefferson County Industrial Development Agency, which has signed a two-year contract with Mr. Lundy.
Haun Welding Supply, Inc., received final approval to move from 23791 Route 12 to 22495 Fisher Road in the County Industrial Park.
Mr. Scordo, who also developed plans for Mr. Simaos proposed 529-unit apartment complex at Ives Hill, told the Times that those plans are on hold because the owner is taking into consideration concerns from residents who fear the development would significantly lower the value of their property.

MASSENA The judges are ready to start looking at homes and businesses for the Greater Massena Chamber of Commerces annual holiday decorating contest.
Now, chamber officials say, theyd like to get some residents and businesses to enter.
We sent out a press release. Nobody has signed up. We do have people who said they would judge, but we dont have anything to judge yet, chamber Associate Director Penny Pullmain said.
The contest is free and open to all residents and businesses in the greater Massena area. Judges are scheduled to travel around the community after 5 p.m. Dec. 10 to 13 to judge entries.
Anyone who plans to enter the contest must contact the chamber office at 769-3525 or via email at email@example.com and provide his name, address and phone number. The registration deadline is Dec. 6. Displays must be lit after 5 p.m. for the Dec. 10 through 13 judging.
Residential customers and local businesses will be judged separately based on originality, use of lighting design and property presentation.
There have been some changes in this years contest, Ms. Pullmain said. The chamber will judge the entire village as one rather than breaking it down to north and south of the Grasse River, as it has done in the past. First-, second- and third-place residential winners had been named north and south of the river, and judges had named one business winner from the village.
Ms. Pullmain said that based on the response recently, it didnt make sense to continue splitting the village.
We dont get enough entries, she said. Why split the town up?
Winners also had been recognized during a business after hours event. Now, they will be contacted and announced via the newspaper, radio, chamber website and Massena Chamber Connections email blast, according to chamber board President Miriam S. Catapano.
Rather than being recognized during an after-hours event, winners will receive a sign to place in their yard designating their win in the competition, Ms. Pullmain said.
They get some recognition outside of the business after-hours, she said, noting the winning business would also receive a sign. The signs will become the property of the winners to display as they wish, she said.
Ms. Catapano said the introduction of signs might spur more contest entries in the future because of their visibility on the lawns of the winner.
Maybe well get more people next year, she said.

"To say I learned 'to think outside the box' at Wagner is an understatement. I went on to study abroad for three semesters in Spain, where I learned to cook paella, took classes at local universities, and even toured with an orchestra! The lessons I learned continue to resonate in my life as I prepare to become a physician and a responsible global citizen."

That's a great explanation, short and clear and covering almost everything.Every few seconds, the score is increased by how many flags the team owns. Score 150 points to win.
But I can't find the number of seconds anywhere "official".
There's SaM's default of "5" for "point score rate" but it doesn't say what's the unit. If anything, I'd think it's 5 score points per minute or something (similar to "bit rate" which is bits per x, "sampling rate" which is samples per x, "birth rate" etc. etc.)
Nobody wants to be assaulted with paragraphs of explanatory text that they don't want to read, and I think you greatly overstate the effects our little news blurb actually has.

Wednesday, April 25, 2012
BOWLING GREEN, Ky. – What a difference a game makes.
After a rough opening-game 6-2 loss to Western Kentucky, the Lady Bisons held a meeting in the outfield. No coaches, just the players sorting some things out before game two of the doubleheader.
Whatever was said worked, because Lipscomb stormed back to take game two 5-4 and reclaim some of the spark that's made them a 31-17 ballclub going into the final weekend of Atlantic Sun play. Western Kentucky moves to 28-20-1.
"Our girls got tired of the way we've been playing," said Lipscomb head coach Kristin Ryman. "They were frustrated and knew we were frustrated, so between games they did what I'd been hoping they'd do for a long time. Some of the older girls took the initiative, held a huddle and said what they needed to say."
Neither side would push across a run until the third inning of game one. After a lead-off double by Western Kentucky's Katrina Metoyer, Senior Whitney Kiihnl retired the next two hitters before Kelsie Mattox roped a double off the right field wall to score Metoyer from second.
A four-run fifth-inning for the Lady Toppers would spelled doom for Lipscomb in the opener. Mallorie Sulaski, who entered as an injury replacement, laid down a bunt single to get things started, followed by a Mattox hit-by-pitch.
After Karavin Dew moved the runners up with a sac bunt, Ashley Thomas lined a single off the chest of Bridgette Begle, scoring Sulaski. A throwing error on Thomas' steal attempt scored Mattox, Preslie Cruce blasted a two-run homer to centerfield to cap off a big Lady Toppers inning.
Lipscomb would get one back in the sixth on a Mollie Mitchell single up the middle that scored Kiihnl, who led the inning off with a single of her own.
Mattox would add to her day in the home half of the sixth with a solo homer to right-center.
Sophomore Haley Elliott hit an even deeper bomb in the top of the seventh, but her solo shot would be all the Lady Bisons would get as the rally fell short.
It's the first three-game losing streak for Lipscomb since March 2-3; as part of the Citrus Classic, the Lady Bisons lost to South Alabama, Penn State and Ball State.
Kiihnl allowed a season high-tying nine hits, and the most earned runs she'd given up since March 11 against MTSU. She struck out four.
Elliott went 2-for-3 with her season's 10th home run.
Game Two – Lipscomb 5, Western Kentucky 4
The Lady Bisons got on the board first in the second game. Freshman Gracey Aguirre opened the scoring with a bloop single in the third that fell between three infielders to score Kiihnl.
The next batter, junior Kelsey Cartwright, continued her assault on the Lipscomb record books with a two-run home run to left-center. The homer was her 14th this season, tying her for second in a single-season with current assistant coach Heather Collins and Abby Keese.
The Lady Toppers had an answer in the home half on a Mattox double that scored Cruce.
The Lady Bisons got two more in the sixth on some timely base-running. Pinch-running for Aguirre, Brianne Welch stole second and advanced to third on a Cartwright single.
When Cartwright attempted to steal second, the throw down was cut off to keep Welch at third. Cartwright stopped running, inducing a rundown that allowed Welch to steal home and Cartwright to steal second as well.
Cartwright would later score on a wild pitch.
"Against good teams, you have to find a way to manufacture runs sometimes," Ryman said. "We tried the same things last night against UAB. Sometimes it works for you and sometimes it works against you. Sometimes you have to take those risks and force things to happen."
Western Kentucky got one back in the sixth. Mattox singled and advanced to third on an errant throw that went into the third-base dugout. She scored on a Thomas ground out.
The Lady Toppers weren't going quietly into the night. At two outs in the seventh, Sulaski and pinch-hitter Taylor Borders hit back-to-back singles to keep the inning alive. They were rewarded with a two-run double from Cruce to cut the lead to one.
Anderson, who danced in and out of trouble all game, came up big in a jam once again. She struck out Mattox, who had two big games against the Lady Bisons, to end the game. She threw her third complete game in a row, allowing just three earned runs despite 12 hits and striking out five to earn her 10th victory.
"I thought we came out in the second game with a lot of the spark that characterizes our team," Ryman said. "We haven't been that team in a while, even in some of our wins. We got outhit, had more errors but we fought and fought and found ways to get runs when we needed them."
With no Atlantic Sun action this weekend, the Lady Bisons will have an extended break prior to Senior Day against USC Upstate (May 4) and the A-Sun regular-season finale against ETSU (May 5).

Reserve League: Chicago Fire Fall to Sporting Kansas City 1-0
Sporting Kansas City Forward Soony Saad Tallies 4th Minute Goal to Edge Fire
April 10, 2012
Chicago Fire Communications
CHICAGO, Ill. – Sporting Kansas City defeated the Chicago Fire 1-0 today in MLS Reserve League action at the Sporting Club Training Center in Swope Park. An early goal from forward Soony Saad sealed the victory for Sporting Kansas City, improving their record to 2-1-1, while the Fire's record stands at 1-2-0.
Sporting Kansas City started the match strong with the lone goal scored in the fourth minute of play. Luke Sassano made a run down the left sideline, cut the ball back onto his right foot and played a service to Soony Saad, who settled the ball with his first touch before releasing a powerful shot to beat goalkeeper Sean Johnson.
The Fire responded in the 18th minute with a quality chance of their own. Federico Puppo made a self-pass around Sporting Kansas City trialist Jairo Rodrigues Peixoto, and with just Jon Kempin left to beat, shot low and hard, but Kempin made the diving save.
Just one minute later on the counterattack, Saad collected the ball in the middle of the field before passing wide to Michael Harrington. Teal Bunbury beat his mark and received Harrington's cross, headed the ball, but hit the near post.
Sporting Kansas City's most dangerous attempt on goal in the second half came in the 58th minute. Sassano slipped a perfectly paced ball down the right sideline for Bunbury's diagonal run. Bunbury collected the ball, drove past Chicago's defensive line, before finding Jacob Peterson at the top of the 18. Peterson's shot hit the crossbar and went out for a Fire goal kick.
The Fire countered in the 87th minute off of a corner kick from Corben Bone. He sent the ball into Puppo, who made a short pass to Orr Barouch. Barouch attempted to tap the ball past Kempin, but was blocked by Kempin.
The Chicago Fire and Sporting Kansas City will continue 2012 MLS Reserve League play on April 16 and April 24 respectively. The Chicago Fire will host the Houston Dynamo at Toyota Park Practice Field and Sporting Kansas City will host the Colorado Rapids at LIVESTRONG Sporting Park.

While it's early in the basketball season for the College of Eastern Utah Lady Eagles, in some ways it feels too late in the season for Coach Dave Paur.
"We could easily be 6-2 but instead we are now 2-6 after this past weekend," he wrote in a facsimile Monday morning.
The womens team had just returned from a disastrous road tournament at the College of Southern Idaho where they lost games to Yakima Valley Community College 94-65 and then lost a close one to South Mountain Community College 54-53.
"Poor shooting, some injuries and some suspensions on our team have taken their toll on us this year," stated Paur. "We just have to do a better job of executing our offensive and defensive sets."
In the game Friday against the Lady Yaks the team fared poorly right from the beginning. They got behind and ended up the first half with a 20 point deficit, 49-29.
They improved their shooting a bit in the second half but still failed to do any catch up, although they did hold the Yakima women to four less points than the team from Washington had scored in the first half.
Top scorers in the game for CEU was Jana Glover with 20 points and Whitney Fardig with 13. Fardig was also the top rebounder with 8 boards.
Molly Clark led the Lady Yaks with 25 points.
The Lady Eagles only went 23 for 68 from the field for 38 percent shooting.
With that loss the team went to work on Saturday night, despite being short handed. They stayed neck and neck with the Lady Cougars from Arizona through the first half only trailing by one at the half 31-30. In the second the lead switched back and forth but the Arizona women came out on top.
The team will now be home for a game for the first time this season as they face Dixie on Friday night at 5:30 p.m. in the BDAC.

Four out of f ive kernelsWhen I first started watching, "The Beat That My Heart Skipped," I thought I had it all figured out. A boy from the wrong side of the tracks meets a girl from the right side and undergoes a profound change.However, "The Beat That My Heart Skipped," is anything but predictable. For most of the movie, Tom doesn't seem to pay the "right" girl much mind and pursues someone else. Plus, when his big moment arrives to shine as a completely transformed man, the opposite actually happens. The movie will lead the viewer down twists and turns and where this spiral path will end is completely hidden.Tom is from the wrong side of the tracks. He follows his father's footsteps and works as a realtor who embarks on shady dealings in Paris. He and his co-workers dump rats into apartments and throw tenants out onto the streets.In addition to his business, Tom has to deal with his father who losing his toughness and relies on his son to do his dirty work.However, a chance meeting with an old friend of his deceased mother, who was professional pianist, changes the state of Tom's life.The movie questions how effectively a person can wipe the slate clean and start over. And its ending seems to pessimistically say that the slate can never be clean.

What does latest events mean for Nieuwenhuis?
Last night in his first rehabilitation game with Single-A St. Lucie, Andres Torres was 3-for-4 with two stolen bases; he would have been 4-for-4, if not for a diving grab that robbed him of a potential bases clearing double.
That looked like it could spell bad news for Kirk Nieuwenhuis, but this afternoon, the Mets placed Jason Bay on the 15-Day DL with a non displaced fracture of a rib on hisleft side.
While it seemed as though Kirk may have been headed for a demotion upon Torres' return, the circumstances created by Bay's injury could mean an extended stay in the bigs for Nieuwenhuis. Nieuwenhuis has looked rather impressive over his first two weeks of action. He seems capable of playing centerfield in the Majors, and has not been over-matched during his 48 at-bats.
While it's probably too early to jump the gun (especially given the extremely small sample size of Nieuwenhuis' success), should Torres hit upon his return, it is not out of the question that Nieuwenhuis could work his way into a platoon with Bay. The bottom line here is Terry needs to get production from the left field spot, and, if Nieuwenhuis is providing that, he's not going anywhere. As long as Kirk keeps hitting, Collins will have to get him in the lineup somehow. Log jam averted…for now.
In 48 at-bats Nieuwenhuis is hitting .333 with seven runs scored and a .407 OBP.

Gomez is MAC Hermann Trophy Semifinalist; Pitter Claims Another Honor
OMAHA, Neb. (Nov. 28) - Creighton men's soccer senior Jose Gomez earned recognition as one of 15 semifinalists selected for the 2012 Missouri Athletic Club's (MAC) Hermann Trophy, the National Soccer Coaches Association of America (NSCAA) announced Wednesday.
The selection of Gomez marks the third straight season that a Bluejay has claimed a semifinalist spot for the MAC Hermann Trophy - the most prestigious individual award in college soccer. Last season's list included Brian Holt and repeat semifinalist Ethan Finlay who was also a 2010 choice. Finlay finished as the runner-up for the award last season.
Gomez is the latest Bluejay to be named a MAC Hermann Trophy semifinalist joining a long list of former Creighton stars previously selected for the same national honor. Current Creighton assistant coach Johnny Torres won the award in 1997. In addition to Finlay, Bluejay greats Keith DeFini, Brian Kamler, Richard Mulrooney, and Ross Paule were all finalists for the award. Fellow CU semifinalists include Holt, Andrei Gotsmanov (2008), Julian Nash (2004), David Wagenfuhr (2003) and Mike Tranchilla (2001, 2002). Tranchilla finished fourth in the final 2002 vote.
Traditionally, head coaches of NCAA Division I programs with current membership in the NSCAA will vote for their top choices to determine the 2012 MAC Hermann Award recipient.
New this year is a fan-voting component, conducted through LockerDome, which allows fans to also contribute to picking this year's MAC Hermann Trophy winners.
Gomez is the reigning 2012 Missouri Valley Conference (MVC) Player of the Year and 2012 MVC Tournament MVP after scoring two goals at the conference tourney to help the Jays claim their 13th Valley tournament championship and 20th NCAA Tournament appearance.
The 2012 First Team All-MVC selection has started all 22 matches for the No. 8 Bluejays this season. Gomez ranks No. 29 nationally and is tied for the MVC lead at eight assists this season. The senior co-captain stands at No. 82 in the country and second in the MVC with 20 points this season (6 goals, 8 assists). Gomez is second in conference with 58 total shots. He has launched at least one shot attempt in each match this season and recorded a shot on goal in 16 contests. Earlier this season he earned an assist on all three CU goals at Princeton (10/9), the first Bluejay to accomplish the feat since Nov. 8, 2008.
Three finalists for the award will be announced on Thursday, Dec. 6. They will be invited to the Missouri Athletic Club and the winner will be announced during the MAC Hermann Trophy banquet in St. Louis on Friday, Jan. 11, 2013.
CU men's soccer freshman Timo Pitter also claimed an honor Wednesday. College Soccer News named Pitter to its 2012 All-Freshman First Team. He currently ranks nationally as the No. 4 freshman and No. 42 overall with 10 goals this season. Pitter is also the No. 5 ranked freshman and is No. 51 overall in NCAA Division I with 24 points scored in 2012.
Creighton (16-3-3) travels to No. 7-ranked and No. 4-seeded Connecticut (16-3-2) for an NCAA Quarterfinal match on Sunday, Dec. 2 at noon CT. Links to a live video stream and live stats will be made available on GoCreighton.com on the men's soccer schedule page prior to the match.
For fans interested in traveling to Connecticut, tickets can be purchased in advance online at UConnHuskies.com or by phone at 1-877-288-2666. All seats for the match are general admission ($6 for adults, $4 for seniors and youths).
UConn is expecting a sellout at the 5,100-seat Morrone Stadium for Sunday afternoon's match.

Screening Evaluation for Women With Postpartum Depression
- Full Text View

- Disclaimer
- How to Read a Study Record
This study evaluates the relationship between mood changes and hormones in women with postpartum depression (PPD).
This is an observational study; volunteers who participate will not receive any new or experimental therapies.
PPD is similar to major depression, but develops around the time a woman gives birth. Women with PPD often suffer serious physical and emotional impairments. Controversy exists regarding the role of hormone changes in postpartum depression. This study will examine the role of hormone changes in three groups of women: those who recently gave birth and have mild to moderately severe PDD (Group 1), women who recently gave birth and do not have PDD (Group 2), and those who are currently pregnant and experienced an episode of PDD with a previous birth (Group 3).
Participants will be screened with a medical history, physical examination, and blood and urine tests. Upon study entry, they will be interviewed about their moods, behaviors, and medical status during and immediately following their last pregnancy. Some women will be asked to participate in interviews, psychological tests, and blood tests. They will also complete self-rating scales and may be asked to collect samples of their urine. Women in Group 3 will complete self-rating scales for 6 months postpartum. Participants will participate in genetic studies that involve completing a questionnaire and providing a blood sample. If the participant allows, sisters and parents may be asked to provide a blood sample and undergo a psychiatric interview.
Participants who meet the criteria for minor depression or major depression that is no greater than moderate severity will be asked to participate in a companion study that will evaluate the effectiveness of estradiol in reducing depression symptoms.
Postpartum Depression
|Study Type:
|Official Title:
|A Screening Protocol to Evaluate Women With Postpartum-Related Mood and Behavioral Disorders
|Estimated Enrollment:
|Study Start Date:
|March 2003
Controversy exists regarding the relevance of changes in gonadal steroids for postpartum-onset depressions. The purpose of this protocol is to allow for the careful screening of patients and healthy volunteers for participation in research protocols that examine the role of gonadal steroids in postpartum-onset depressions (PPD) and for the collection of natural history data. Women in this protocol will undergo an evaluation which may include: a psychiatric interview; a diagnostic interview; rating scales; a medical history; a physical exam; blood and urine laboratory evaluation; and a request for medical records. The data collected may also be linked with data from other PPD protocols (e.g., DNA, psychophysiology tests, treatment studies, etc.) for the purposes of better understanding the diagnosis, pathophysiology, and treatment response of women with PPD. Upon conclusion of the screening process, subjects will either be offered participation in a research protocol and will sign the appropriate informed consent, or will be considered not appropriate for participation in research and will be referred back into the community. The second purpose of this protocol is to permit the identification of pregnant women who are at risk for developing postpartum depression (PPD), and who are followed longitudinally through the postpartum in an effort to confirm the association of depression onset with change in reproductive endocrine function. This protocol, then, serves as a screening and evaluation protocol to recruit subjects who are characterized with standard measures in this protocol and then offered participation in related studies.
|Ages Eligible for Study:
|20 Years to 45 Years
|Genders Eligible for Study:
|Accepts Healthy Volunteers:
Cross-sectional Screening: The postpartum subjects of this protocol will be women who meet the following inclusion criteria:
- History of at least two weeks with postpartum-related mood or behavioral disturbances of at least moderate severity - that is, disturbances that are distinct in appearance and associated with a mild to moderate degree of functional impairment;
- The onset of mood symptoms occurred within three months of delivery;
- Age 20-45; The selection of the lower limit of this age window is intended to reduce the potential confound that the psychosocial stress of a teenage pregnancy could complicate the relationship between postpartum hormonal events and mood. The upper age limit was selected since pregnancy and childbirth in a woman over this age range could lead to spontaneous menopause and, therefore, our ability to discern the effects of estrogen therapy on mood could be complicated by estrogen s effects on menopausal symptoms.
- History of normal delivery (vaginal or caesarean) within last six months;
- No prior estrogen replacement therapy for treatment of postpartum physical or emotional symptoms within the last six months;
- In good medical health.
- Subjects must be competent to comprehend the purpose of the screening process and to provide written informed consent and be willing to participate in NIMH IRB approved research protocols.
- A control group of age-matched postpartum women who meet patient selection criteria with the exception of the presence of mood or behavioral disorders will also be sought.
- Current antidepressant therapy
- Subjects should have no general medical illness that is primary (i.e., appears to be causing the mood disorder);
- Current alcohol or substance use or dependence (excluding nicotine) of sufficient magnitude to require independent, concurrent treatment intervention (e.g., antabuse or opiate treatment, but not including self-help groups).
- This protocol is a screening protocol for an estradiol treatment study (03-M-0161) for which the exclusion criteria include the current use of antidepressant medications. However, antidepressants will not be withheld from subjects who need or want them. Immediately after screening subjects will either be enrolled in the estrogen treatment study or in traditional therapy until care can be transitioned to the community. There are few exclusion criteria for the evaluation component of this protocol; however, all women will undergo a structured diagnostic interview Those women who will be asked to participate in the companion protocol evaluating the efficacy of estradiol administration in PPD will meet either research diagnostic criteria for minor depression with at least three core symptoms (SADS-L (90) or major depression (SCID-IV) (91) of not greater than moderate severity on the Global Assessment of Functioning Scale (GAF) (91)) and will not meet DSM-IV criteria # 9 (suicide) or require immediate treatment. Subjects meeting major depression with greater than moderate severity may participate in the evaluation phase of this study but will be offered a referral to an outside facility for standard antidepressant treatment (i.e., they are not candidates for participation in the IRB approved treatment protocol).
- Pregnant;
- Absence of current mood or behavioral disturbance as determined by a structured diagnostic interview;
- Past history of postpartum depression;
- In good medical health,
- Medication free.
Unaffected family members of women with PPD will be admitted for genetic studies only who are first degree relatives of women with confirmed PPD, and who do not have PPD as defined in this protocol.

Sofie M.United StatesHairMedium BrownColor Treated HairSo Disappointed! Had High Expectations!I already own the Amika Digital Titanium Pro Curler in the Clipless version and I love it! So I splurged on this one because I needed a clip version that would give me bigger curls (I got the 1.25 inch). I like the lightweight design of this, but the clamp was not flush to the curling rod so my hair would fall out no matter how hard I tried! It was so frustrating! I even tried curling bigger chunks of hair but at the ends, the clamp was just too far from the curler and my hair would come loose. It was impossible for me to get any use out of this. It does not hold your hair clamped down at all! I'm so disappointed because I expected great results from this brand!! I am returning it.

Jerilyn L.Mount Olive, NCHairColor Treated HairFine or Thin HairRelaxed HairJust Didn't Do It For MeI'm not having any luck with curling irons these days. I've been using a Conair tourmaline-ceramic curling iron for a couple of years, and it works okay. But it's just OKAY, nothing extra. And I didn't realize how much better it COULD be until I bought a CHI Deep Brilliance titanium flat iron, which works magic on my hair. The problem is that I seldom use it because I normally flip my hair up, and I get a much better result with a curling iron. So I've been on a quest to find the perfect titanium curling iron, with no luck so far. I tried the CHI ceramic curling iron, but it had such a drag on it that I returned it. I was hoping the Amika titanium would do the trick, but the spring on the clamp is SO tight that it almost pulls my hair out with every curl. And frankly, I couldn't tell any difference in my hair from using my Conair. It's not worth the money (or hair loss) in my opinion.1 out of 1 shoppers thought this review was helpful.

I think it's the timing in the count that he's throwing the pitch that is killing him. He gets 2 strikes on a hitter and throws a few fastballs in succession and then leaves a slider right down the middle. My point is that if they're going to have him throw the slider late in the count it should be out of the zone. That could be on Strop, maybe he's having a tough time commanding the pitch but it's come back to haunt the Orioles so many times I would consider having him refrain from throwing it late in the count.

Our academic program provides exposure and mastery of a broad range of ideas in math, art, science and the humanities. Through a wide variety of subjects, Waldorf students have the opportunity to discover their own unique strengths and talents, giving them the self‐confidence to succeed in all areas of their education.
The Waldorf curriculum is carefully crafted to guide students through various stages of their intellectual and personal development. Students learn to observe, compare, analyze, synthesize, question, and imagine alternatives. They debate ethical issues in science, history, and literature. They engage in abstract mathematical reasoning, as well as hands‐on laboratory experiments. They consider ideas from multiple perspectives, and appreciate the value of diversity. Learning through multiple methods results in a solid understanding of complex concepts and develops valuable skills that students will use throughout their lives.
Waldorf approach is based on the belief that education should foster students' intellectual, social and emotional growth as they develop through a number of basic stages from childhood to adulthood.
The Waldorf curriculum helps students achieve their full potential. Every aspect of the high school experience, from the science lab to the playing field, to internships and community service, is viewed not only from the standpoint of academic preparation, but also from its contribution to the student's developing sense of self. As students come to know the world, they come to know themselves.

Knifeblade Pullover (Women's) (out-of-stock)
Out of Stock Product Number: 26891
The Women's Knifeblade Pullover is Patagonia's most water-resistant performance soft shell, built with lightweight, moisture-shedding Polartec Power Shield Pro for maximum protection and optimal breathability.
No Siesta, Infinite Spur, Exocet - for serious mixed climbing, Patagonia's alpine ambassadors wanted a pared-down pullover with storm-level protection and soft-shell breathability. We teamed with Polartec to deliver. The new Power Shield Pro fabric fills the gap between traditional hard and soft shells, providing superb weather-resistance - functionally waterproof in all but a deluge - while remaining exceptionally breathable. It has a soft, pliable feel, slides easily over layers, and is durable enough to withstand big-route abuse. The stripped-down pullover has two water-resistant zippered chest pockets placed to avoid a harness or pack, low-profile cuff closures and Touch Point System embedded cord locks in the hood and hem for quick adjustment without opening the jacket. Sonic-welded seams reinforced with micro-stitching (patent pending) reduce seam bulk while optimizing strength, and the helmet-compatible, 2-way-adjustable hood with laminated visor provides optimal visibility in bad conditions. Full-reach gusseted underarm panels allow overhead mobility.

I have knit 6 sweaters for Jerry over the years.
Boy Sweater, August 2006
Pirate Sweater, January 2007
Wallasaurus, February-March 2007
Wallaby Meets Vest, June 2007
Skull Cable Vest (he never wore it), November 2007
And, the sixth:
Striped Kid Sweater, July 2009
I'm feeling a fair amount of nostalgia looking back over these pictures. Jerry has grown up so much and it has happened in the blink of an eye. The sweaters are getting bigger and they take longer to knit, and I really can't believe I have a 7 year old boy getting ready for second grade.
The pattern: Seamless Shirt-Yoke Sweater by Elizabeth Zimmermann from Knitting Without Tears. Ravelry lists this pattern as being from Knitting Workshop, but I used KWT, where it briefly appears.
The yarn: Brown Sheep Nature Spun Sport. I have the urge to go buy tons and tons of this yarn. Knitting with it makes me want to only knit with it forever and ever (brief dalliances with yarns like Noro or Ultra Alpaca are expected, naturally). Unfortunately, due to low demand, my LYS has stopped stocking this yarn. I'm going to open a yarn store that stocks ONLY sport weight, woolen spun wool in a dizzying range of colors.
The gauge: 6 sts per inch. On a US 4 needle. The fabric is light – surprisingly light – for such a big sweater.
The pricetag: The whole sweater weighs 238 grams; less than 5 balls of yarn. At $3.50 per ball, you do the math. The cost of making this sweater is damn cheap, and the result is much nicer than anything you'd find in a store (the knitter says, humbly).
More pictures?

Now is Good Lives Every Moment
Based on the novel "Before I Die" by Jenny Downham, Now is Good tells the story of Tessa, a 17-year-old girl dying of Leukemia. With only months left to live, Tessa (Dakota Fanning) becomes determined to live every moment, and sets out to fulfill a bucket list that includes all the experiences a normal teenager would have; including losing her virginity and taking drugs. Falling in love with her new neighbor Adam (Jeremy Irvine) wasn't part of the plan, but it does prove to be her most exhilarating experience of all.
Blueprint Pictures brought director and writer Ol Parker and cinematographer Erik Wilson together to tell Tessa's story on the big screen. "I was brought into the project somewhat late in the game, but I connected with Ol right away, and loved the script," notes Wilson. "The decision to shoot on film had already been made, which I was very happy to hear. The movie is a performance driven piece with a very strong script, and I have always felt that the etiquette of film lends itself to drama."
No digital tests had been considered for the feature, and Wilson moved right into testing stocks. "I wanted to keep the look as clean, crisp and sharp as possible. The story was so strong; it didn't need help romanticizing it," says Wilson. The filmmakers choose KODAK VISION3 50D Color Negative Film 5203 and KODAK VISION3 250D Color Negative Film 5207 for daylight scenes, and KODAK VISION3 500T Color Negative Film 5219 for night shoots and one scene shot in Tessa's bedroom. As the set for that particular sequence was located in a warehouse, the lighting set-up dictated the use of the 5219.
Now is Good utilized two ARRI cameras, the ARRICAM Studio and the ARRICAM Lite. ARRI's Master Prime lenses were used throughout production. "I wanted a clear and bright image. There was no need to hide anything or build a look. The nature of the story against that crisp, unfiltered look stood on its own," Wilson continues.
The movie had a seven week shooting schedule, and all but two days of production took place in and around London. Now is Good is actually set in the seaside city of Brighton, but only two days of location shooting took place in Brighton and along England's southern coast. A nighttime shoot in which Tessa and Adam go for an evening swim proved particularly tricky to capture. "We had to figure out how to light them in that scene," Wilson comments. "The sea at night, far from any city, offered no potential sources of light beyond the moon. We put some lights on a boat, and created a river outlet. Our gaffer, Andy Lowe, added some clever ideas, but in the end we realized we just needed to get over ourselves and get some light on them." The temperature that night was also a challenge, even for Wilson, a Norwegian native who originally moved to the UK to attend film school. "We also had to take care here that the lighting was romantic. We couldn't have it look freezing, which it was!"
Burnham Beeches, 540 acres of woodland west of London, was the site of a key forest sequence in which Tessa scales a tree and Adam follows her. Wilson says, "Shooting in a forest is always strange. It's a big green reflector with all of these crazy highlights, but it's dark and hard to get a handle on. We split the scene over a few days and different locations, and we used three trees; a very large one, a small one and a fake tree. Technically it was quite interesting and rewarding, and the film handled the contrast so well."
"The whole experience on Now is Good was a very pleasant one," says Wilson. "It was a well-planned shoot and there weren't many surprises. Whenever Dakota was on set, it was a good day, and Dakota was on set virtually every day. My only warning is to bring a box of tissues with you to the movie... you will need them."

By JOHN SERFUSTINISun Advocate associate editor
Smoke alarms saved the lives of a Miller Creek family who were able to evacuate their burning home in a midnight fire Wednesday.
Two dogs in the attached garage where the fire started did not escape, though, according to Price Fire Chief Paul Bedont, whose team worked with Wellington fire fighters to put out the blaze.
Homeowner Tom Kosmac said the fire was probably started by an electric heater in the garage.
From the garage, the fire spread through the roof and ceilings. Flames took out the entire garage roof, and the heat and collapsing debris completely destroyed a car parked inside.
The fire was intense enough to scorch the side of a camping trailer parked nearby.
Bedont said fire fighting was complicated by the high pitched roof of the dwelling. "You're leery about sending people into a structure where the fire is burning overhead," he explained.
The chief said the interior of the living area had some smoke damage and may be reparable. Damage would have been much worse - even tragic - had the smoke alarms not awakened the family, the chief said.

En Plein Air is a french expression that literally translates as "in the open air". It has generally been associated with the Impressionist painters of the late 1800's. Impressionists espoused the belief that you should trust your eyes…Making art is all about choices, paying attention to what interests and intrigues you, and, and this is very important – what to leave out. Because you can't capture everything you see.
This workshop is about creating a safe place to create in a serene, peaceful and stimulating environment. There is so much to see when you are in a garden, and no two people see things in the same way.
Each participant will sculpt and paint a 6″ x 6″ tile based on what they choose to look at. All materials are provided, including clay, underglaze, tools, and seating. Tiles will be fired at Karen Singer's Germantown studio and returned to Awbury for pickup in about 3 – 4 weeks after the workshop.Bring a hat, sunscreen and insect repellent and an open mind.
