As a classically trained ballet dancer, Karlie Kloss never expected to find herself modeling for some of the biggest names in fashion. Yet with her innate poise and chameleon-like ability to lend herself to a bevy of diverse looks, it's no surprise she was plucked from her toe shoes at the tender age of fifteen. After landing her first editorial in Teen Vogue in 2007, she quickly jumped to the top of the industry's must-have listÂ--we'd expect nothing less than grand jetés from the girl with legs that go for days! Now Kloss regularly opens and closes important runway shows (like Christian Dior, Karl Lagerfeld, and Armani Privé), stars in major fashion campaigns (including Oscar de la Renta, Donna Karan, and Dior this fall), and serves as the très belle visage of YSL cosmetics. Though Kloss' list of accolades is almost as long as her balletic limbs, what we like best about this Chicago native is her graceful air and natural ability to look prettily pulled together wherever she goes. Always effortlessly polished and fresh-faced, Kloss' personal off-duty style is just as covetable as her designer runway duds, making her the perfect subject for this month's Model Off Duty!While you can always visit TheFashionSpot.com's Runway News for more information and photos of the lovely Miss Kloss, today we're focusing on a few of her stunning ensembles. One look that immediately caught our eye was the bright blue mini dress Kloss picked for the 2nd Annual Australians in New York Fashion Foundation Party earlier this summer (top row, far right). Her choiceÂ--Willow's Sting Ray Loose Draped Silhouette Dress ($760) in Sea UrchinÂ--is instantly eye-catching, plus we love the way the abbreviated hemline is balanced with draped sleeves. We also appreciate that Kloss tempered the dress' bold design by keeping the rest of her accessories simple and understated, while still highlighting her figure with a narrow black belt. Our MOD adopted this color-balance theory again when she selected a gorgeous Zac Posen frock for an event in New York last winter (bottom row, far left). Here, Kloss struck sartorial gold in a vibrant red dress with a waist-accenting peplum, opaque tights, and a pair of slightly metallic pumps, resulting in a seriously elegant cocktail look.
But don't think Kloss takes the festive-yet-refined route only for more formal events: she maintains this signature soignée at all times! For example, this stunner was snapped between shows in Paris a few seasons ago wearing a classically chic ensemble comprised of a bold shift and tout-noir accents (bottom row, center). Kloss grounded her royal blue dress with flat black Ferragamo bootsÂ--perfect for sashaying from runway to runwayÂ--a cozy black peacoat, and another narrow black belt. (The latter is key because it insured that her shape didn't get lost in the layers!) Our model du jour opted for a waist-emphasizing silhouette even more recently, when she picked a polka dot PureDKNY Dress ($295) for an InStyle Super Saturday 13 shopping event to benefit the Ovarian Cancer Research Fund (top row, center). The print is perfectly sweet and we like how Kloss tempered the dress' flirty appeal with another of-the-moment piece: a ladylike purse with a long strap.
While Kloss clearly has a penchant for splendid statement dresses, we're also big fans of her equally stylish, casual ensembles. Kloss looked particularly inspiring when she was spotted behind-the-scenes at Narciso Rodriguez' S/S 10 show (far right). Her long black scarf tied to resemble a necktie is the sort of personal touch we live for, while her Erin Kleinberg embellished tee from their F/W 09 collection is a spot-on pick for adding a little polish to a laidback look. And we can't forget to nod to her MOD stapleÂ--Fendi's Zucca Canvas Spy BagÂ--an oversized tote perfect for carting personal items from show to show. Finally, Kloss displayed an A+ casual-cool look, when she was spotted running around New York City last fall (top row, far left). The major model added a dose of refinement to a pair of faded cutoffs with a cuffed blazer, and injected her look with personality via a graphic tee.
Recreating Kloss' personal style doesn't have to take the same genetic code for her never-ending limbs as we've done the legwork for you and rounded up the all the pieces you need. The first key to success: pick up a hero dress or twoÂ--or three! We recommend byCorpus' Polkadot Dress ($58), which would look perfect with leather lace-up sandals like Kloss' for a daytime event or with some nude kitten heels for a meet-the-parents ensemble. When it comes to dressier attire like Kloss' Zac Posen find, we like BCBG's One Shoulder Ruffled Appliqué Dress ($398) or Paul and Joe's Montarg Wool-Crepe Tie-Detail Dress ($545)Â--two equally ladylike options. Next, snatch up a snazzy Kloss-approved blazer like J. Crew's Marled Knit Thandie Blazer ($158): it's the ideal piece to pas de deux with either AG Adriano Goldschmied's Ex Boyfriend Shorts ($129.50) or Urban Renewal's Cuffed Levi's Denim Shorts ($28) for frolicking around the city. If you're hankering for something heavier, try Topshop's Premium Hairy Pea Coat ($260) over a vibrant shift and knee-high flat boots to get set for fall. And finally, if you're itching to nail that backstage look, scoop up Son of John Pepper's Flasher Boyfriend V-Neck Tee ($113) and CC Skye's Love 82 Bag ($650) in Tan Python for the ultimate MOD touch!Â--Liza Kaplan

Protection against RT induced acute xerostomia is comparable between SC and IV amifostine. However, the side effect profiles are different. Effort is being made for using prophylaxis to decrease the cutaneous side effect of SC amifostine which overall provides a better and easier route of administration and less of systemic side effects as compared to IV amifostine.

For many Western New Yorkers, the annual Sport and Travel Expo is a harbinger of Spring, like the arrival of the first Robin or the call of a Spring Peeper. It's a tradition that has been going strong for over 20 years.
For show promoter Mark Concilla, it's much more than just tradition...you might say it's in his nature.
"We started 22 years ago, my father Sam started the company, and we started with one building," says Concilla. "We're now five buildings here on the Fairgrounds in Hamburg, and there is a lot of attractions and events; and a lot of different things going on in all five buildings this year!"
One of the reasons this show is always so anxiously anticipated is because of the great care taken to produce it. The promoters take pride in it being an "outdoor sports show produced by sportsmen."
"We really take the time to make sure the events have quality vendors," says Concilla. "We do say no to a lot of vendors who are looking to come in and turn it into a flea market, it's not this type of show. Sportsmen wait all year to come to this event because they will be able to talk to exhibitors and vendors from all over the world."
For the visitors, the show is a chance to get a look at a wide variety of new products from companies both large and small, or to help plan that next great wilderness adventure. For the outdoor entrepreneur, it's an opportunity to meet the public, and promote their product the old fashioned way.
Pennsylvanian George Cvijic is showcasing a versatile new hunter's seat.
"It's a replacement for any ground seat, but then it's also an animal drag as well, and it can be a tourniquet, it can be an arm sling, it can be a water rescue device."
Betsy and Chuck Kent travel from Wyoming County every year to attend.
"I like the person to person thing, I like to talk to people that might be involved, you get a good feel for people that way."
Patrick Flanagan of Syracuse was pitching his hand made Bass jigs, a lure he says no angler should be without.
"Kind of realized I had a really good idea, and everyone who's ever tried it has nothing but great things to say about it."
"It's very important to get name recognition," says Cvijic. "I believe get your name and product out to the public, and this is one of the many ways you can do it."
With hundreds of products and lots of interesting things to do, and thousands of Western New Yorkers eager to shake off cabin fever, this is one tradition that should continue for many years to come.
The Kents agree: "We've been doing this for a long long time, and we really enjoy talking to the different people."
Concilla: "This is definitely an outdoor area, it's good to see, and we see a lot of familiar faces that come through the door every year...and a lot of new faces. "
The Travel And Sports Expo runs through Sunday March 11.

CUMBERLAND – Local police say they arrested nearly twice as many people for drunken driving in 2012 as they did the previous year.
Sixty people were arrested for driving under the influence last year, a whopping 94 percent increase over the 31 DUI arrests that were made in 2011, Police Chief John R. Desmarais noted in the Cumberland Police Department's annual report, which was presented to the Town Council last Wednesday.
Desmarais said the increase, which is also nearly double the number of DUI arrests made in 2010, is a result of the department's continued "commitment to drunk and drugged driving detection and prosecution."
According to the report, three of the DUI cases involved felonies, are pending in Superior Court and will be prosecuted by the Attorney General's Office. The cases before the Superior Court represent 5 percent of all of the department's DUI cases. All of the remaining cases have been adjudicated in either the R.I. Traffic Tribunal or District Court, while one case was amended to reckless driving.
Police say 47 of the DUI defendants, or 78 percent, pled nolo contendre, or no contest, which is equivalent to guilty in Rhode Island. Eight cases were dismissed in District Court by the prosecution, and six defendants pled guilty in the Rhode Island Traffic Tribunal to refusal to submit to a chemical test.
Police last year also referred 1,195 traffic-related and 61 parking tickets to Cumberland Municipal Court, with the town prevailing in 92 percent of those cases.
Desmarais said traffic safety continues to be a top priority for town residents, and that 2012 was the second consecutive year where there was a decrease in the number of accidents. There were 824 accidents last year and 839 the year before.
"The last three years have also seen a gradual decrease in the number of accidents each year, starting in 2009 where there were 905 to this year – a decrease of 81 over that time period," the chief said.
Desmarais said a number of factors contributed to the overall reduction in motor vehicle accidents, including a new message-speed trailer and speed signs that were acquired by the traffic division last year, and neighborhood traffic calming and residents' speed programs.
Desmarais called 2012 "extremely progressive and successful," saying the department's motto of "working together to build a safer community' has given the department "the energy and perseverance to continue to succeed in our mission of providing professional quality policing."
He also thanked Mayor Daniel J. McKee and the Cumberland Town Council for their continued support of the department.
The department's annual report also lists several goals and objectives Desmarais is hoping to accomplish this year and next, including:
* Increasing patrol officers' less than lethal options by purchasing TASERS or other electric devices.
* An updated phone system to replace the department's outdated and malfunctioning system.
* Increasing the involvement of the community by developing and conducting community-based programs like the Citizens Police Academy.
* Software to allow officers to dictate reports.
* Digital cameras for all members of the patrol division.
Cumberland Police Department is a nationally accredited police department and was re-accredited a third time in March of last year. According to Desmarais, the department is currently preparing for the next re-accreditation coming up in December 2014.
"I would like to take this opportunity to commend all members of the Cumberland Police Department, sworn, non-sworn and all civilian personnel, for their hard work and dedication to service for the residents of the Town of Cumberland, to the people who work in our town and the visitors who come to our town on a daily basis," he said.
"We look forward to working with everyone, from the citizen to the business owner, to the child playing in the front yard who waves to a police cruiser as it drives by."

Exploring and Learning about Gender Roles in Scandinavia
Summer 2014
May 26 - June 5, 2014
Program Highlights
- Visit Sweden, Norway, and Denmark
- View the refreshing natural landscape
- Interact with local citizens working for non-profit organizations and activists
- Sightsee and tour famous destinations in the region
Program Description
This short term program promises a great way to begin summer with a study tour to learn gender roles in the Scandinavian countries of Sweden, Norway and Denmark. The refreshing Scandinavian natural landscapes combined with egalitarian perspectives on human development make this an ideal destination to learn about cultures which have supported and enacted some of the most powerful legislations to transform gender roles and foster a more equal society. Spending the first 4 days of the trip centered around Stockholm, Sweden, we leave for Oslo, Norway for spending the next 4 days and conclude our trip with 3 days in Copenhagen, Denmark. Most of the time in the countries will be spent in interactions with the local citizens- ranging from organizations (non profit organizations) and activists who work on gender equality, to scholars and researchers who research gender issues and students who study gender. City tours, sightseeing activities to the most famous destinations in these regions is also included in the trip.
Course Description
This course will begin in Spring 2014. Participants will be required to attend several pre-orientation sessions in order to read and participate in discussions which will help them understand the social and political culture of the countries we will visit. The required readings and reflections will prepare us for the trip and help us to understand the cultural basis of gender roles in the different countries. Most teaching will therefore happen in Spring 2014 at CSB/SJU. Interviews and interactions in the countries we visit will help fortify and evaluate what we study in Spring and form the basis of more reflection assignments in Summer. Students will also be expected to write a reflection paper based on comparing gender roles in Scandinavia and the United States, towards the completion of course requirements.
Students will enroll in a 2 credit gender course 2 (GEND 180) which will also fulfill the Intercultural Competence (IC) and Gender (GE) requirements of the Common Curriculum (GE is pending approval).
Program Cost
The estimated Program Fee is $3,600 plus the cost of 2 CSB/SJU credits at the reduced summer tuition rate (approximately $525 per credit).
This price includes:
- Round trip airfare from MSP
- All hotel accommodation
- Breakfasts
- Arrical transfer in Copenhagen
- A 48-hour Stockholm City Card, 48-hour Copenhagen City Card, 72 hour Oslo City Card good for local transportation to our destinations of choice, entrance to museums and exhibits
- Motor transport for travel in Stockholm and Copenhagen
- Round trip tickets from Stockholm to other Swedish universities
- Train and Ferry tickets from Stockholm to Oslo, Oslo to Copenhagen
- Departure transfer in Copenhagen
The Program Fee does not include:
- 2 meals additional meals per day
- Spending Money
- Cost of 2 CSB/SJU credits (approximately $525 per credit)
We will be staying in comfortable hotels in the various cities we visit. Breakfast is included at each hotel that we stay at.
Sucharita Mukherjee will be directing this program to Scandinavia. Sucharita is an Economics Professor who has led the semester long study-abroad program to India. This will be her first time taking a group to Scandinavia. Please email her with any questions or concerns.

Active Minds
Active Minds came to Saint Louis University during the 2009-2010 school year. At the beginning of the 2010-2011 school year, it officially become the 231st national chapter of Active Minds. Along with support from University Counseling Center, SLU's Active Minds chapter has dedicated itself to changing the way college students approach the concept of mental health.
Our goal is to remove the stigma that surrounds mental illness and create an environment that allows for open conversation on mental health issues. Active Minds has created, sponsored, and hosted many events and activities to raise awareness about different mental health issues, including suicide, depression, stress, and others that are targeted and relevant to college students.
The organization creates fun, yet informative ways to help the student body learn about the resources available on and around campus. The simultaneous benefit is stomping out the stigma around taking care of one's own mental health.
For more information about Active Minds, click on the video and visit the national website.

These Are The Rules!
If this happened wouldn't it be horrible? But this is indeed possible since a Calvinist doesn't have access to God's secretive will. After all, if we here at DC were never Christians in the first place, then how does any Calvinist know he is among the elect? And how can a Calvinist truly praise such a terrible God as this?

This screening is part of our December celebration of The News in Cinema!
"The only true currency in this bankrupt world is what you share with someone when you're uncool."
Throughout his career Cameron Crowe has made feel good movies. Films that wrap around you like a warm blanket. This is his M.O.
He's obviously not ashamed of it because he continually made project after project that decided to sidestep cynicism and embrace positivity. That's not to say his films don't have darkness or sadness or deep emotional truths. In fact, Crowe's best work has quite astounding moments of honesty.
SAY ANYTHING... is about an almost-too-good-to-be-true teenage romance, but the heart of the story lies in a broken father-daughter relationship. JERRY MAGUIRE tries to duplicate another improbable romance, but that film's emotional impact lies in the deep flaws and insecurities of its characters.
ALMOST FAMOUS remains Crowe's perfect mix of saccharine sweet and melancholy. It's an incredibly watchable film from start to finish because it's filled with joy, love and all that mush, but it's a film worth revisiting because, while its dark moments are sparse, it feels real.
The film is a journey following 15-year old Rolling Stone journalist William Miller (Patrick Fugit) as he tours with the fictional band in 1973. Crowe based the story off of his own experience covering The Allman Brothers in his teens for the infamous magazine. It's this type of personal touch that really gives ALMOST FAMOUS that intangible sense of truth. From the moment we meet William and his older sister (Zooey Deschanel) bequeaths onto him her record collection, including Simon and Garkfunkel's Bookends, we feel like we are in this time.
And then Philp Seymour Hoffman, playing William's mentor Lester Bang (a real-life rock critic and all-around great writer), cements the era right into our brain as he declares "too bad you missed out on rock 'n' roll."
Crowe effortlessly sets the stage for what, for now, is his most personal, funny, moving and best film.
And I haven't even got into the meat of everything from Frances McDormand's brilliantly played performance of William's overprotective lover to Kate Hudson's star-making turn as Penny Lane, a kinda amazing, kinda sad queen of groupies to Billy Crudup and Jason Lee as the talented ying and yang of Stillwater.
Needless to say you'll have a good time. The moments when you're not laughing you'll be smiling. ALMOST FAMOUS has been billed as a coming of age story, and it is to an extent, but it's plenty more than that.
Filled with amazing music, an endless amount of quotable lines and a big, bulging heart, ALMOST FAMOUS is a loving and nostalgic love letter to a very real tme and place. (R.J. LaForce)

Students, faculty and staff of UWM, joined by the nonprofit Interfaith Older Adult Programs, paired up to help repair the homes of older adults on Saturday, April 12, as part of the annual Hunger Clean Up. The Hunger Clean Up's goal is to spruce up local homes for spring.
"It's fulfilling to know that I helped someone," said Favian Velasco, a UWM junior majoring in information science and technology.
Velasco was one of more than 300 students and faculty of UWM who started the day with a meeting on Spaights Plaza. Volunteers were assigned various tasks from picking up branches to cleaning and fixing windows. University organizations that contributed were the UWM Center for Community-Based Learning, Leadership, and Research, Neighborhood Housing, B.O.S.S and the UWM Student Association.
Check out some scenes from this year's Hunger Cleanup.

I make this dish often, both at home and at the restaurant. But these days we tend to increase the vegetables and use less meat, and sometimes we use only vegetables and leave out the meat entirely. While there is never a mushroom in the classic recipe, you can add them or make a vegetarian version with mushrooms and a rich vegetable stock. I've also made this stew as the centerpiece for Christmas dinner, adding plenty of sliced black truffles. The classic dish uses a mix of meats including a pig's foot, which gives a rich, gelatinous texture to the stew. You may be able to special-order a pig's foot. Ask the butcher to slice it crosswise into three pieces. But even at the restaurant I sometimes have trouble ordering them, and your stew will still be delicious without one. You can also use just one or two kinds of meat instead of all three.
YIELD: Serves 10
- 2 medium yellow onions, finely chopped
- 2 small leeks, white and pale green parts, finely chopped
- 1 large carrot, peeled and finely chopped
- 2 or 3 cloves garlic, very finely chopped
- 2 bay leaves
- 1 teaspoon whole juniper berries
- 1 1/2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh thyme
- 3 tablespoons finely chopped fresh flatleaf parsley
- 3 cups (one 750-milliliter bottle) dry white wine, such as an Alsatian pinot gris, plus more, if needed, for the pot
- 1 pound boneless beef chuck roast, cut into 1¼-inch chunks
- 1 pound boneless pork butt, trimmed and cut into 1¼-inch chunks
- 1 pound boneless lamb shoulder, trimmed and cut into 1¼ inch cubes
- Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
- 4 pounds Russet potatoes, peeled
In a large bowl or very large plastic bag with a secure seal, mix together the onions, leeks, carrot, garlic, bay leaves, juniper berries, thyme, parsley, wine, beef, pork, lamb, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, and 1 teaspoon pepper. Mix well, seal, and refrigerate for at least 12 hours and up to 24 hours. Mix the meats and marinade occasionally; if they are in a bag, just turn it over once or twice.
When ready to cook, preheat the oven to 350°. Smear the olive oil all over the bottom of a 6- or 8-quart Dutch oven.
Peel the potatoes if you like; using a mandoline, slice them thinly and season well with salt and pepper. Do not wash the potatoes after slicing. The potato starch thickens the broth. Cover the bottom of the pot with half of them. Strain the solids and meat from the marinade, reserving both separately. Spread the meats and vegetables on top of the potatoes and then top with the remaining potatoes. Carefully pour the reserved marinade over the potatoes. If the liquid does not cover the top of the potatoes, add more wine or water until they are just covered.
Cover the pot and bring the stew to a gentle simmer on top of the stove. Place the pot in the oven and bake until the meats are very tender, about 3 1/2 hours. Serve, directly from the casserole, in warm, generously sized soup plates.

SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) — Shares of FMC Corp., Netflix Inc. and Ely Lilly & Co. made big moves during U.S. trading Wednesday, while the blue-chip ETF and Berkshire Hathaway Inc. were among top trending tickers.
Top tickers trending
$DIA: SPDR Dow Jones Industrial Average ETF Trust DIA, +0.04% structured to correspond to the price and yield performance of the Dow industrials index, closed in negative territory after surrendering most of its intraday gains.
U.S. stocks had traded higher after the Federal Reserve indicated that it would roll out additional economy-boosting measures. However, bullish market sentiment was soon dampened by a warning from Chairman Ben Bernanke that the Fed won't be able to shield the economy from the so-called fiscal cliff.
The Dow slipped 2.99 points to end at 13,245.45. Read: Stocks erase gain on Bernanke comments.

$GLD: SPDR Gold Trust GLD, +0.23% the largest physically backed gold exchange-traded fund in the world, rose fractionally in line with stronger gold prices. Futures in the yellow metal US:GCG3 climbed 0.5% to $1,717.90 an ounce following the Federal Reserve's announcement that it will launch a new bond-buying program to support the economy.

@CapitalObserver: I'm tired of the Fed bailing out them $GLD holders.
$BRKA and $BRKB: Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway BRK.A, -0.20% BRK.B, -0.26% shares advanced after the company said it bought 9,200 of its Class A shares for $131,000 per share from the estate of a longtime and unnamed shareholder. At the same time, Berkshire's board raised the price limit for buybacks to 120% of book value. Read: Berkshire buys back $1.2 billion in stock.
The deal is apparently a boon for both the seller and Berkshire, according to Greggory Warren and Drew Woodbury at Morningstar.
"For the seller, it provides a single transaction at a single price for shares that have traditionally not been very liquid. For Berkshire, it provides the opportunity to retire 9,200 Class A shares, which have 10,000 times the voting power of Class B shares, at what looks to have been something close to the going market price. We would also assume that the transaction costs for both parties were lower than they would have been had the shares been sold/bought in the open market," the analysts wrote in a report.
So who exactly is this shareholder that Berkshire is being so secretive about? No one yet seems to have a name, but The Wall Street Journal has a list of Berkshire's largest publicly known shareholders: Read: Buffett's latest mystery.
Are banks too big? Fed says yes
The Federal Reserve is pushing large U.S. banks to forget about all but the smallest acquisitions for a while amid a raging debate over the risk big lenders pose to the financial system.

Home | Contact Us | Newsletter | Online Payments | Careers | Store | Patient Portal
By Michelina Cairo, M.D., and Henry Mok, M.D.
According to 2010 census, Hispanics are now the majority minority in
Texas, making up 38 percent of the total population. With so many Latinos in
the state, it's important to be aware of potential cancer risks for this group
and what they can do to minimize those risks.
The American Cancer Society estimated 47,900 new cancer diagnoses in
Hispanic men and 51,000 in Hispanic women in 2009. Hispanics' most commonly
diagnosed cancers are prostate cancer for men and breast cancer for women.
Other common cancers among Latinos include colorectal and lung. Hispanics have
a higher rate of liver and cervical cancer than most other groups.
While many factors can contribute to a cancer diagnosis, Hispanics can
do several things to increase their chances of living a long, healthy life.
Maintain a Healthy Body Weight
Obesity is associated with an increased risk of several cancers,
including breast, prostate, and colon. In addition to regular exercise, Hispanics
can maintain a healthy body weight through a diet with plenty of fruits,
vegetables, and whole grains, while limiting intake of red meat, high-fat
foods, and alcohol.
Quit Smoking
Like all smokers, Hispanic smokers can reduce their risk of lung cancer
and other smoking related diseases by quitting. Family members can help loved
ones quit by participating in fun activities with them to keep them busy and
distracted, as well as keeping them accountable and providing encouragement.
Get Regular Screenings and Recommended Vaccines
Low screening participation rates make Hispanics more likely to be
diagnosed at a more advanced stage of the disease when fewer treatment options
are available, resulting in poorer outcomes. Screening exams help diagnose
cancer at the early stages, when treatment will be the most effective.
Texas Oncology recommends regular clinical screening and/or self-exams
for breast, prostate, colorectal, skin, and testicular cancer. With a higher
rate of cervical cancer than many other groups, Hispanic women should get
regular Pap tests.
Both women and men should consider getting the HPV vaccine because it
can help prevent some forms of cancer such as cervical and head and neck.
Protect Yourself from the Sun
It's a myth that skin cancer only affects Caucasian men and women and
those with lighter skin. Everyone is at risk for skin cancer, and it's
important to practice sun safety outdoors. Both children and adults should
choose a sunscreen that provides protection from both UVA and UVB rays and wear
a hat with wide brim and sunglasses with at least 99 percent UV absorption. By next
summer, sunscreen labels must note whether product provides both UVA and UVB
Find the Right Physician
In the Hispanic culture, mutual respect and trust are necessary
elements in a successful patient-phsician relationship. No matter what the
personal risk factors are, finding the right doctor to manage ongoing health is
important. Individuals should choose a physician they are comfortable with, who
listens to their health concerns, and will help guide their overall well-being.

Vladimir Medinsky, Russia's new culture minister, calls for burying Lenin's preserved corpse and renaming streets after the murdered czar's family, reopening long, simmering debate; as tensions mount between the opposition and the government, critics say Medinsky's statements are designed to deflect criticism of his appointment, and distract antigovernment protesters.

Neurologist Harry Vinters and Russian historian Lev Lurie present evidence, at clinicopathological conference on historical figures, that fatal stroke suffered by Russian leader Vladimir Lenin in 1924 was caused by poisoning; suggest that the most likely perpetrator of the crime was Joseph Stalin, who saw Lenin as a major political obstacle.

Our friend Matt Olsen crashed the Sears.
According to Matt's father, Carl Olsen who is also a rider in the rally, the younger Olsen hit a pothole in the road and went into a shimmy on his 1913 Sears. Olsen had almost straightened his machine out when the wobble turned into a tank slapper and Matt went over the handlebars. His left forearm is broken in both bones, requiring surgery that his father reports he came through very well. Matt is in a cast which will immobilize his arm and wrist for the 6 weeks required to allow the bones to heal correctly. In addition to the arm, Olsen also has numerous face cuts and a "slightly broken nose," but prognosis is good and there is expected to be no permanent damage. Olsen will fly home from Huntsville, AL to Aberdeen, SD tomorrow afternoon.
The 25-year-old Olsen holds the distinction of being the youngest man to have the title of Iron Butt Rider, having earned the title twice in one week. One title was for riding 1000 miles on the oldest Harley-Davidson, a 1936 H-D Knucklehead with 2-up and then again in the same week for covering the 1000 miles solo on a 1939 H-D.
The determined young man is in good spirits and insisted his father and crew stay on to continue the Cannonball run. Carl relayed a message from his son's hospital bed, saying Matt was pulling for the rest of the Cannonballers. "This whole event is just awesome. The riders are all working together and helping each other to make as many miles as they possibly can and it's revitalizing their spirit. Everybody's in it for everybody else. I will definitely be back next year."
It won't be on the Sears, however, since the bike is reportedly totaled.
Best wishes to Matt for a speedy recovery and Ride sAfe! all you Cannonballers.

The Castle Country Business Expansion and Retention project conducted its regularly scheduled monthly meeting on Feb. 6.
The BEAR program is a community-wide effort to support and enhance the economic impact of existing businesses.
Over 80 percent of community investments and job creation comes from local existing businesses, BEAR is designed to focus community efforts for the improvement of the local business climate and to provide coordinated assistance to address existing local business needs.
The project continues to see large growth. Outreach specialists Brandee Fausett, Dondra Nance, Dianna Mussleman and Tina Carter have been pounding the pavement showing a visit total of 388.
Those visitations have produced 169 referrals to local economic development personnel giving more than $221,485 worth of service and savings to Castle County businesses. The program has also created 29 jobs and increased local revenue by $140,000 in the past few months.
National studies indicate that businesses who have actively participated in a BEAR program are more likely to improve profitability and longevity.
The goals of the program include:
Identify business climate trends and make necessary and appropriate public policy adjustment recommendations.
Efficiently allocated limited public and private sector staff and financial resources for improvement of overall business climate in the area.
Provide targeted assistance to individual businesses where and when identified and needed.
According to project administrators Nick Tatton and Karl Kraync, once the program hits 500 businesses it will have the amount of information that is necessary to demonstrate meaningful trends in the local business economy. Once those trends are compiled and interpreted by the systems database Kraync and Tatton along with Carbon County Economic Development Director Delynn Fielding plan to present the data to local government officials within the county.
Brandee Fausett who has focused her attention on the city of Helper identified several trends that have led to the College of Eastern Utah, Small Business Development Center and other BEAR related staff promoting and planning a series of marketing classes for the businesses there.
Also new to the program this month project member Dorothy Carter and the Department of Workforce Services made public their Utah Incumbent Worker Training program. The purposes of the program are to provide grants to employers to assist with certain expenses associated with skills upgrade training for their full time employees and to help those workers gain the skills that keep them employed and increase their wages.
Those interested in this program should contact DWS in either Carbon or Emery County. The closing date for an application is Feb. 28.
Each business in the community can expect and/or request a visit from an outreach specialist to talk about the business climate and the position of the business in the marketplace. Based upon the visit data will be tabulated into an anonymous database to identify positive and negative aspects of doing business in the Castle Country area. Additionally individual businesses that have identified a need, such as hiring employees, workforce training, business planning and business financing, etc. will be referred to local providers. All business support services are available in the local community. Those interested in contacting Castle Country BEAR may visit www.carbon-county.com or contact Karl Kraync at 435-650-1729.

Simulating Permanent Magnet Generators
Fanny Littmarck | November 6, 2012
Permanent magnet generators, or PM generators as they are also called, generate power without batteries. PM generators consist of a magnetic stator coiled with wire and a wheel with permanent magnets rotating inside the stator. From motorcycles to wind farms, PM generators can be used in many electrical machinery applications. Let's take a look at how these types of generators work and how they can be simulated.
How Permanent Magnet Generators Work
Essentially, a wire is wound around a stator made of material with high relative permeability. Inside the stator you have a wheel, or rotor, which consists of a center (made up of the same material as the stator) and permanent magnets that create a strong magnetic field. These permanent magnets are typically rare-earth elements, such as samarium for example.
When the rotor is set in motion a current is induced. That is because the electromagnetic fields (EMF) of the permanent magnets on the rotor move past the coiled stator. As the magnets are spaced out like teeth on the rotor, the strength of the EMF fluctuates up and down as the rotor spins. It is this continuous flux that induces the current into the stator wire. Naturally, the faster the rotor spins, the higher the voltage output.
2D Simulation of a PM Generator in COMSOL Multiphysics
I came across a great example of a PM generator when browsing our online Model Gallery. The model shows how the rotation of the rotor with permanent magnets generates an induced EMF in the winding. The voltage is calculated as a function of time during the rotation. Also depicted in the model is the influence on the voltage from material parameters, rotation velocity, and number of turns in the wire winding.
The simulation below was produced by my colleague Valerio so that you can see the model in action:
A brighter color can be observed where the permanent magnets are positioned on the rotor.
As usual, if you have a COMSOL Access account you can download the model documentation of the generator model to read more about it. If you also have COMSOL Multiphysics and the AC/DC Module you may download the model files and explore this multiphysics problem further.
Applications of PM Generators
According to an article published on windpowerengineering.com (Generators 101) permanent magnet generators are used in the wind industry mainly because they do not require a battery to run. The wind is used to set the rotating wheel in motion, and off it goes generating a current. The zero-battery aspect is so important because wind farms tend to be located in remote areas. Harnessing wind power via PM generators requires less maintenance than generators that contain a battery that needs to be replaced every so often.
If you're interested in motorcycles, you might know that PM generators can also be used to power your bike. I came across an interesting article on how to assemble a permanent magnet alternator for your motorcycle. Thought I'd share it with those of you who are handy in the shop.

I have some confusion about this model .One thing that confused me is the coil in this model. In the model there is nothing that mention about the coil and there is no boundary condition for the coil too.
Please let know how coil domain is used in this model.
thank you
Fanny Littmarck February 8, 2013 at 1:45 pm
Hi Aruna,
Please check out the model in our Model Gallery: http://www.comsol.com/showroom/gallery/2122/
If you log into your COMSOL Access account you can get the documentation for this model, which explains how to simulate it in COMSOL. (If you don't have an Access account, you can create one for free following the on-screen instructions).
Hung Vu September 21, 2013 at 11:38 am
Hi, some softwares can simulate 3D transient simulation including rotor motion of electric machines for calculating eddy current distribution in the rotor. Is Comsol 4.3b able to do that? I have no evidence to say yes.
Fanny Littmarck September 24, 2013 at 4:04 pm
Yes, if you use COMSOL Multiphysics together with the AC/DC Module you can model the induced eddy currents in the rotor in any type of rotating machinery. The induced eddy currents in the rotor is simulated in the "rotating_machinery_3d_tutorial.mph" example from the Model Library.
B santosh sarma December 20, 2013 at 10:18 pm
hi,i am doing m tech and i am doing project on renewable energy source in which i am using Bicycle Dynamo(bottle type) so the thing is that can i simulate the characteristics of bicycle dynamo in COMSOL as the output of the dynamo is ac
if so which part of COMSOL i have to download and one more thing i have to get the transfer function of the dynamos can it possible to get through this software
穆 德 October 28, 2014 at 3:56 am
Hi ;
I was reading the model documentation pdf , and took a quick look at the model .mph file . I would say it was really interesting, However I am confused of not adding the Moving Mesh (ALE) physics ! does that effect the results ? since the mesh does not moving ! only the spatial coordinates moves !
I tried to add the moving mesh by my self , but i got stuck with x,y,z and X,Y,Z variables which seems there is a variable looping which COMSOL cant take it ! and when using the Material coordinates X,Y,Z , the mesh also doesn't move !!
any explanation ! ?

Brief Life Raises Awareness
By: Legacy.com Staff
3 years ago
Avery was born with Spinal Muscular Atrophy, a rare disease that prompted her doctors to estimate she'd live no longer than 18 months. In fact, she only lived five months. But her parents filled those five months with joy, watching her live instead of waiting for her to die. Knowing their daughter had limited time on this earth, they created a "bucket list" of things they wanted her to experience while she was here. And they got through a remarkable number of bucket list items.
Going to a baseball game (and throwing the first pitch) – check.
Appearing on TV – check.
Getting a tattoo (temporary!) – check.
Flying a kite – check.
Raising awareness of Spinal Muscular Atrophy and the fight for a cure – check.
That's just a drop in the bucket list – Avery's blog details so many more of the ways her parents helped her live her short life to the fullest, and helped bring the message of SMA awareness to readers all over the world.
Avery died yesterday, much sooner than her parents and doctors expected. Her parents posted a last picture of her on her blog – taken just minutes before she went into cardiac arrest, it shows a happy, smiling baby.
Avery experienced things in five months that some of us don't get around to in decades of life. Her bucket list is an inspiration to really live our lives… and her struggle is a call to support the fight against SMA and other fatal childhood diseases.
