When we caught upi with the final five after Wednesday night's performance show, we posed the ever important question and found out country cutie Skylar Lainehas never seen or read anything Twilight! A fact she fears will affect winning over fans and securing their votes!
"Someone from Twilight tweeted me, " she spilled. "I don't know who they are. I'm sorry, I've been meaning to watch the Twilight movies, you know. Now I'm going to have all the Twilight fans hating me."
Hollie Cavanagh also weighed in on the Twilight vs. Harry Potter debate.
"I think I like Harry Potter better," she said. "I think I do! Watch out!"
Another elimination happens Thursday night...who do you think will be going home?

Pac-10 update: Baker advances, Youngblood sets school recrod
Keshia Baker ran 54.79 to finish third overall (and first in her heat) in the 400, moving into Sunday's final. Baker is the defending Pac-10 champion in the event, though the favorite remains UCLA's Nicole Leach, who had the fastest prelim time of 53.90.
Also, Jamesha Youngblood, after fouling on her first two attempts, went 21-1 1/4 on the final jump of the third flight of the long jump to set a school record and advance to the finals, which will begin in a few minutes. The previous record was 21- 1/2 set by Julie Goodrich in 1988.

Animated: BYU Takes Down Utah State With Late Touchdown
The BYU/Utah State game could be summed up in two made-for-TV moments.
The first came when BYU running back JJ Di Luigi expressed his frustration on the sideline after fumbling in the 2nd half. By expressing his frustration, we mean he REALLY expressed his frustration. On a side note, this accurately summed up BYU's overall performance up until this point. [insert your Honor Code violation joke here]
The next moment, however, was much happier for BYU fans and came on the game-winning drive with less than a minute left in the 4th quarter. Starting quarterback Jake Heaps was benched, and junior Riley Nelson came in and completed an impressive comeback.
His comeback was capped off by this 13-yard touchdown to Marcus Matthews. Not exactly your run-of-the-mill touchdown, but worked just as good.
BYU fans were obviously excited about the the turn of events and the 27-24 win. They were so excited that they rushed the field once Utah State's final attempted long pass hit the ground.
They rushed the field. Against Utah State.

Asthma Awareness and Treatment
- Asthma can be kept under control. Parents can work with their health care provider to manage their child's asthma.
- Asthma is a chronic disease, meaning it lasts for a long time or recurs frequently. If a child's asthma symptoms cause breathing problems during exercise or normal activities, this is called persistent asthma. If symptoms are persistent, your child likely needs adjustment in his or her treatment plan.
- Recognize your child's asthma triggers, and try to remove those triggers from his or her environment.
- Watch for early signs of asthma flare-ups, such as wheezing or gasping.
- There are two types of asthma medicines: controller and quick-relief. Be sure you know how to use your child's medicines and asthma devices.
- Children with persistent asthma should use a controller medicine every day. This will control the inflammation in their lungs. Inflammation causes swelling, mucous production and narrowing of the airway.
- Here are three signs that your child's asthma is not under control:
- Your child uses a quick-relief medicine (like an albuterol puffer) more than twice a week.
- He or she wakes up at night with asthma symptoms such as coughing, wheezing or chest tightness more than twice a month.
- You refill your child's quick-relief medicine more than twice a year.
- Children with persistent asthma should see a primary care physician or asthma specialist at least three times a year.

Riverside County Board of Supervisors Unanimously Supports California Desert Protection Act
|September 14, 2011
|David Lamfrom, NPCA, 760-957-7887 or firstname.lastname@example.com
Riverside County Board of Supervisors Unanimously Supports California Desert Protection Act
Stament by NPCA California Desert Senior Program Manager David Lamfrom
BACKGROUND: On September 14, 2011, the Riverside County Board of Supervisors voted unanimously in support of the California Desert Protection Act of 2011.
"Riverside County's support for the California Desert Protection Act of 2011 demonstrates the county's commitment to building their economy while protecting resident's quality of life and recreation. The bill will position the California desert as a world-class destination for tourism, attracting hikers, bikers, climbers, photographers, wildlife watchers and four-wheel drivers to our communities and our protected lands."
"Passage of this legislation will protect Riverside's backyard treasures such as Joshua Tree National Park and the Whitewater River while designation of the Sand-to-Snow National Monument will recruit new recreational enthusiasts to both its scenic desert landscapes and the connected high country of the San Bernardino Mountains."
"Nearly 3 million visitors come to California desert national parks alone (Death Valley, Joshua Tree and Mojave National Preserve) annually. This accounts for an estimated 82 million dollars in economic activity and nearly 1,000 jobs. The California Desert Protection Act of 2011 will increase that economic benefit and raise awareness of the unique and iconic landscapes and history of our desert."

This SU organization & students just make our hearts smile of how we 'can' have hope for future generations.
This SU organization & students just make our hearts smile of how we 'can' have hope for future generations.
Ahhh college days. If you've never been its quite an experience. So many people thrown together away from parents and your now making decisions on your own. That's now where problems begin.
Researchers from The Miriam Hospital's Centers for Behavioral and Preventive Medicine Women completed a study. They found that women gradually used condoms less frequently during their first year of college. This was particularly true for women who binge drink, have lower grade point averages or come from lower socioeconomic backgrounds. The research is published online in the Journal of Sex Research.
College is a time when young people are more sexually active and use condoms inconsistently. We know unprotected sex puts women at greater risk for unplanned pregnancies and sexually transmitted diseases (STI/STD).
Of the 279 females that were surveyed nearly 75% of participants were caucasian. The study also revealed several unexpected predictors of initial condom use. African American women, women who did not smoke marijuana, women who said they are less likely to practice safe sex after drinking and women with more previous sexual partners were less likely to use condoms at the start of the study. That should get your attention if you're a parent.
ARE does outreach and HIV Testing on the campuses of Shenandoah University & James Madison University. We are always stunned at the amount of no HIV knowledge to risks taken aftering drinking. Spring break is upon the colleges and the students are swarming to famous watering holes. Upon returning, we hope they are only bringing back trinkets for friends and not an STI/STD or HIV.

A Key Lime Pie Margarita in Key Largo, Florida.
I'm a little late with this again, I know... I have completely lost my blogging mojo! Let me know in the comments below if you have experienced this as well and have ideas on how to get back into blogging after a long break. I need to feel excited about blogging again!
Anywho, whilst I was in Florida for Christmas we took a quick day trip over to Key Largo (one of the Florida Keys -think Key Lime Pie and Key West). It included a surprise stop of at Krispy Kreme for freshly baked doughnuts, some spontaneous kayaking (although I don't have pictures of this it was such a surprise), and some exotic food! Cue the photos...
We set off for Key Largo early one morning, without much planned. All we knew is that we wanted to go walking in some national parks and of a restaurant where they served Lionfish, which is a pest in Florida waters that is deadly if not prepared and cooked correctly. However, after only 30 minutes of driving away from home I spotted a "Hot Dougnuts" sign at Krispy Kremes and my Dad pulled over immediately.
Turns out Michael had never had a fresh and hot Krispy Kreme doughnut! But what's even better, whilst waiting in line a kind stranger handed us a coupon for Buy One Get One Free box of dozen doughnuts... so we got 24 doughnuts to share between, Michael, my brother, Mom, Dad, and me! Holy Moly, we hit the The Holy Grail!
Whoops, I might have drooled again.
I promise you they were even better than they looked!
At the national park in Key Largo, they had a building with aquariums of some of the local fish, and tons of information on the park and wildlife. This included some of these cuties!
Aaaaand this is a Lionfish! The little bugger eats all the other fish in Florida waters and are highly venomous so have no known predators. They are destroying so much of the local wildlife that it is encouraged for people to fish them if they are are able to, and even restaurants in the Keys that are experienced in preparing and cooking the fish safely will cook your caught fish for you. Usually they are trapped in lobster traps, apparently.
After our little stop off, we headed out into the Florida forest for a short walk, which was nice but not as interesting as we had hoped. Instead of continuing for a longer walk with more mosquitoes, we suddenly decided to go kayaking! We were so unprepared I was wearing a dress -which is really uncomfortable under a lifejacket! Luckily I know my family enough to always throw a bikini in my bag though! Michael and I actually got stuck in a tight spot and capsized! Michael is not a swimmer, so I had to help him back into the boat and dive down to find my sunglasses and the map (Michael spotted it for me). Go teamwork!
After our mini adventure, we headed to restaurant that could serve us up some Lionfish. Famished, we were the first ones in the restaurant and immediately ordered some margaritas.
Key Lime Pie margaritas to be exact!
The Lionfish doesn't look much different from other white fish, but cooked correctly it tastes so buttery and wonderful it was worth the the trip! Although that might have been some of the margaritas talking...
My brother, Jeremy, fed and happy.
The best type of scenery after a long day.
My darling Mommy!
Our little restaurant -I highly recommend it!
Time to head home through the festive walkway in the weirdest place to be for Christmas ever! I loved every second of it!

EA-18 Growler
The F/A-18 Hornet is one of the most modern fighters in widespread, worldwide use. The Hornet was introduced into operational service in 1983, and slowly replaced the Navy's A-6s Intruders and F-14 Tomcats over the course of the 1980s and 90s. F/A-18s have seen action with the U.S. Navy in both Iraq conflicts and several other operations worldwide, as well as limited engagements with the Royal Australian Air Force. This particular model represents the EA-18 Growler, an electronics warfare variant t

Masanosuke came to the city of Edo to prove himself as a warrior, but the man's lack of confidence is so obvious that he's perpetually unemployed and can barely afford to eat. So when the mysterious Yaichi offers him a job as a bodyguard - room and board included - the ronin jumps at the chance.

House of Five Leaves has plenty of style. If that style is good is a matter of taste. On one side, it is particularly pretentious, and on the other hand it manages to pull it off. Still, it is more something that one would want to like rather than actually likeable. The opening theme is a rather annoying synthpop piece, but the soundtrack is heavily influenced by traditional Japanese music. The main character... read more
While the primary character, a nervous and quiet ronin samurai whose timid nature makes it hard to find work in spite of exceptional skill when the need is great, is a complex, moody, fun to dissect creation, the plot unfolding around him shows a lot of promise early on but never quiet gels into something exciting.

Japanese mobile phone maker Sony Mobile said to plan on ramping up shipments of smartphones in the coming year, with a target set at 50 million units.
This year, the company is expected to top the 35 million units mark with its smartphone shipments, but it seems that this won't be enough to bring it back to profitability.
For the next year, however, things are expected to change, and Sony is said to be working with various Taiwan-based handset ODMs for that.
DigiTimes notes that Foxconn International Holdings (FIH), Arima Communications and Compal Communications will build handsets for the company, and that 30-40% out of the total Sony smartphone shipments in 2013 will be outsourced to these companies.
While Foxconn has already started making low-cost Xperia devices for Sony, Arima will join the party in early 2013, followed by Compal in Q2 next year.

~ Posted by Tim de Lisle, April 12th 2013
In this issue we come as near as we ever have to putting a politician on the cover. If you are in charge of a country, you can be on the cover of dozens of magazines, but not this one. On the whole, we leave politics to our learned friends on The Economist, who cover it every week with unbeatable assurance. But we have made a half-exception for Ricken Patel.
Half, because he is not quite a politician. He is a political figure of a kind that didn't exist a decade ago: an online campaigner, using the internet to drum up support for causes that he feels most people believe in. The organisation he heads, Avaaz, has just reached a big milestone—20m members, as it calls them. We prefer "followers", as there is no membership fee, no club colours; all the 20m have to show is a willingness to receive e-mails highlighting injustices. But a striking number of them, often running to seven figures, join in the action that the e-mail advocates. "Don't just sit there, do something," goes the old saying. The web allows us to sit there and do something. After signing a petition to save a species or protest at a regime that fires on its own people, you feel a little less powerless.
We sent our online editor, Robert Butler, to New York, to hang around Avaaz's office. He saw Patel and his colleagues putting a lot of thought into working out what would press the public's buttons—much like orthodox politicians. Patel emerges as an intriguing mixture of thinker and doer, demagogue and idealist.
What he does is hard to quantify and easy to scoff at. We were more interested in discovering where his drive to change the world came from. Long ago Butler worked at the National Theatre, so he is used to having to establish where a character's motivation lies. He spent enough time with Patel to find an illuminating answer to that question.

NEWS: Ryan McDonagh Signs A Six-Year Deal
11:55AM: Katie Strang notes that the final three-years of McDonagh's contract come with a limited no-trade clause.
11:13AM: The Rangers have confirmed that McDonagh has agreed to terms on a new contract.
8:14AM: According to Aaron Ward (8:14AM) the Rangers will sign Ryan McDonagh to a six year contract today.
Larry Brooks (9:14AM) reports that McDonagh will have a cap hit of $4.7 million per season.
Brooks notes that the Rangers six-year contract for McDonagh will buy out the first
two three years that McDonagh can be an unrestricted free agent.
McDonagh will now have the highest cap on the Rangers defense.
Adam Rotter: Six years and $4.7 million is about as good of a deal as the Rangers could have hoped for. They lock up an anchor on defense and do so at a reasonable rate for them. McDonagh will likely see his salary increase from year to year, and those last two years he will probably be making a number comparable to one he would get on the open market. To the Rangers though, $4.7 is the important number and it's a number that should allow the Rangers to keep adding pieces around McDonagh.
Earlier Reports and Press Release Are Below
McDonagh, 24, registered four goals and 15 assists for 19 points, along with 22 penalty minutes in 46 games last season. McDonagh tied for first among team defensemen in goals, and ranked second in assists and points. He also ranked second on the team in blocked shots (78), third in average ice time (24:21), and fourth in plus/minus rating (plus-13). The Rangers posted a 13-1-1 record in games when he registered a point. In addition, McDonagh registered four points (one goal, three assists) in 12 playoff contests. He led team defensemen in assists, and tied for first in points during the postseason. McDonagh notched his first career NHL playoff goal on May 16 at Boston in Game 1 of their Eastern Conference Semifinal series.
In 2011-12, McDonagh established career-highs in several statistical categories, including games played (82), goals (seven), assists (25), points (32), plus/minus rating (plus-25), penalty minutes (44), hits (118), blocked shots (182), and shots on goal (123). He ranked 11th in the NHL and fifth among all defensemen with a team-high, plus-25 rating, ranked 15th in the NHL in average ice time (24:44), and eighth in blocked shots. McDonagh was one of seven Rangers who skated in all 82 games, and finished the season ranked second among team defensemen in goals, assists, and points.
The 6-1, 215-pounder has skated in 169 career regular season games over three seasons, registering 12 goals and 48 assists for 60 points, along with 80 penalty minutes and a plus-54 rating. He skated in his 100th career NHL contest on February 25, 2012, against Buffalo. McDonagh made his NHL debut on January 7, 2011, at Dallas, and tallied his first career point with an assist on January 20, 2011, at Carolina. He finished the 2010-11 season ranked second on the team and sixth among NHL rookies with a plus-16 rating.
Internationally, McDonagh has represented the United States at several tournaments, including at the 2011 World Championship in Slovakia.
The St. Paul, Minnesota native was acquired by the Rangers, along with Chris Higgins and Pavel Valentenko, from the Montreal Canadiens in exchange for Scott Gomez, Tom Pyatt and Mike Busto on June 30, 2009. McDonagh, who was named 2007 Minnesota "Mr. Hockey," was originally selected by Montreal as a first round choice, 12th overall, in the 2007 NHL Entry Draft.
BUZZ: Expect A SIX-YEAR Deal For Ryan McDonagh TODAY
9:14AM: Larry Brooks writes that McDonagh's cap hit is $4.7 million per season and that the contract is for six seasons.
Per cap geek, with McDonagh's cap hit at $4.7 million, the Rangers have $6.5 million in cap space.
8:14AM: Aaron Ward of TSN tweets that the Rangers are expected to sign Ryan McDonagh to a SIX-YEAR contract later today.
THIS SECTION is about McDonagh and his contract.
It is expected that McDonagh will have a cap hit between $4 and $5 million. His salary is expected to escalate each season.

BRUSSELS - The European Union's antitrust watchdog on Friday gave its green light to the proposed merger of Penguin and Random House that will create the world's largest book publisher.
The deal will bring classics like George Orwell's "1984" and the recent literary phenomenon "Fifty Shades of Grey" by E.L. James under one umbrella. The merged publisher Penguin Random House is set to control about a quarter of the world's consumer book market.

11 Steps To Mastering Feminine Style
- 1 of 23
As much as we love borrowing from the boys, sometimes its nice get in touch with our feminine side, think: lace, miniskirts, and sheer stockings. As such, we looked to our favorite ladies with a capital "L", from Alexa Chung (master of the gamine shtick) to Scarlett Johansson (a sultry siren of the highest order) to see how they pull off a softer look. Click through now for our tips for dressing like the fairer sex.
- 2 of 23
1. Tie a bow in your hair.
Forget all school-girl associations—if it's cool enough for Alexa Chung, it's cool enough for you.

Does locating the perfect ribbon feel like a hassle? Never fear, these pre-made bow ponytail holders will do the trick.

2. Try delicate jewelry.
While statement jewelry has its place, we love the subtle appeal of dainty adornment like Rosie Huntington-Whiteley's Annina Vogel Victorian Rose Cut Diamond Double Swallow Necklace ($3744).
- 5 of 23
Don't have the budget for Huntington-Whiteley's necklace? Thankfully this affordable necklace from new brand Phyllis + Rosie is just as lovely.

3. Form-fitting is your friend.
Strike a balance between skin-tight and baggy with pieces that flaunt your body in just the right ways like Lupita Nyong'o's Alutuzarra dress.

The draped wrap detail is flattering on every form.
Topshop Drape Shift Dress ($92)

4. Use hosiery to your advantage.
Whether it's a pair of sheer Swiss dot tights or a pair of Max Mara knee socks, as seen on blogger Deni Elias, the right hosiery can be like lingerie for your legs.

Not only are these over-the-knee socks a flirty way to show a little thigh, they'll keep your legs warm too.
Base Range Over Knee Socks ($22)

8. Belt it.
Here's the thing about being a girl: you've likely got some curves, so why not show them off? A belt at your natural waist is a no-brainer solution. A tunic-length number like Allison Williams' Dior top makes a flattering peplum effect when cinched at the waist.

A metal belt feels like a sophisticated upgrade from a leather version.
ASOS Skinny Full Metal Waist Belt ($38)

9. Add a touch of embellishment.

Dance into the Fire: Remembering "A View to a Kill" on its 30th Anniversary
"Unlike most of the Bond films, [A View to a Kill] lacks the sense of cleverness that is so instrumental to the success of 007. It is a film where everyone was working a bit too quickly, where the inherent tone of a Bond film was in short supply, the Bond film that feels the most like an expensive TV movie. It is the Bond film that should have gotten the Mystery Science Theater 3000 treatment." — John Cork
The Digital Bits is pleased to present this retrospective commemorating the 30th anniversary of the release of A View to a Kill, the 14th (official) cinematic James Bond adventure and, most notably, the final to star Roger Moore as Agent 007. [Read on here...]
All the Time in the World: Remembering "On Her Majesty's Secret Service" on its 45th Anniversary
"[T]he lasting impact of On Her Majesty's Secret Service is that it showed that a James Bond film could be made without Sean Connery in the lead role. The producers maintained that audiences came to the films to see James Bond, not necessarily the actor playing him." — Bruce Scivally
The Digital Bits is pleased to present this retrospective commemorating the 45th anniversary of the release of On Her Majesty's Secret Service, the sixth cinematic James Bond adventure and, most notably, the first not to star Sean Connery as Agent 007. [Read more here...]
The Midas Touch: Remembering "Goldfinger" on its 50th Anniversary
"Only Sean Connery in 1964 could pull off wearing a baby-blue terrycloth onesie and still make every woman in the audience breathe a little more deeply and every man want to be him." — John Cork
The Digital Bits is pleased to present this retrospective commemorating the golden anniversary of the release of Goldfinger, the classic James Bond adventure starring Sean Connery as Agent 007 and directed by Guy Hamiton. Featuring an unforgettable villain, unforgettable sidekick, unforgettable gadgets, and a Bond Girl with an unforgettable name, Goldfinger, which premiered in London 50 years ago today, delighted audiences becoming the first Bond film to be a global phenomenon, ensuring more 007 films for decades to come.

Wings of Change: Remembering Tim Burton's "Batman" on its 25th Anniversary
"It has the personality not of a particular movie but of a product, of something arrived at by corporate decision." — Vincent Canby, The New York Times
Blockbuster. Juggernaut. Game Changer.
The event, or tentpole, film was taken to new heights during the summer of 1989, and the industry hasn't been the same since. Sure, there were hits — and megahits — before, but everything this did was new, unorthodox or amplified: mass-saturation marketing, title-less posters, narration-less trailers, loads of tie-in merchandise, dual soundtrack release, one-day-early sneak-preview screenings, anti-piracy electronic-coded release prints, shattered box-office records, home-video release while still in theaters, franchise.

Still Believing a Man Can Fly
It has been a big year for the Man of Steel. The year 2013 marked the 75th anniversary of Superman's debut (in Action Comics issue #1), a new movie was made starring Henry Cavill and directed by Zack Snyder, and, of course, it represents the 35th anniversary of the release of the classic cinematic adventure starring Christopher Reeve and directed by Richard Donner. The Digital Bits celebrates the occasion with a look back at Superman: The Movie's opening weekend and features a reflective interview with some Superman authorities. [Read on here...]
007… Fifty Years Strong: An Interview with James Bond Historians
Let us continue the James Bond 50th anniversary celebration, shall we? Last autumn, around the time Skyfall was being released to theaters, the Blu-ray set was hitting retailers and the anniversary hype was in high gear, I had this idea that it might be interesting if I could round up a few of my James Bond historian friends, turn on a recorder… and talk James Bond, and then perhaps turn that into an article. It didn't happen (primarily for logistical reasons). But a few months later the next best thing did happen. That is, separately-conducted interviews that have been edited into a round-table format.

Thank you all for comments and votes yesterday my friends, thought this would be OK for shadow Saturday. Below some info on Llanthony Priory.
The priory dates back to around the year 1100, when Norman nobleman Walter de Lacy reputedly came upon a ruined chapel of St. David in this location, and was inspired to devote himself to solitary prayer and study. He was joined by Ersinius, a former Chaplain to Queen Matilda, the wife of King Henry I, and then a band of followers. A church was built on the site, dedicated to St John the Baptist, and consecrated in 1108. By 1118, a group of around 40 monks from England founded there a priory of Canons Regular, the first in Wales.
In 1135, after persistent attacks from the local Welsh population, the monks retreated to Gloucester where they founded a daughter cell, Llanthony Secunda. However, around 1186 another member of the de Lacy family, Hugh, the fifth baron, endowed the estate with funds from his Irish estates to rebuild the priory church, and this work was completed by 1217. Also as there are letters from Pope Clement III (CSM,i,p. 157-159), between 1185 and 1188, confirming further grants and gifts to the priory from Adam de Feypo and Geoffrey de Cusack in Ireland.
The Priory became one of the great medieval buildings in Wales, in a mixture of Norman and Gothic architectural styles. Renewed building took place around 1325, with a new gatehouse. On Palm Sunday, April 4, 1327, the deposed Edward II stayed at the Priory on his way from Kenilworth Castle to Berkeley Castle, where he is alleged to have been murdered.

AUGUSTA, Maine (AP) - A Maine legislative committee is expected to vote on a proposal aimed at lowering the state's high electricity and heating costs.
The compromise legislation incorporates ideas from at least nine separate bills.
The Kennebec Journal reports the bill would enable Maine to make financial commitments to encourage the expansion of natural gas pipelines, increase funding for energy efficiency efforts, and provide financial assistance to help low-income families switch to more affordable heating systems.
Democratic state Sen. John Cleveland of Auburn, co-chair of the Legislature's Energy, Technology and Utilities Committee, says a "strong majority" of the panel backs the bill.
The administration's energy director is concerned the bill would allow the Public Utilities Commission to add a fee to electricity bills to fund energy conservation measures.
The vote is expected Friday.

News Release
Ohio Wesleyan University Rings in the New School Year
August 21, 2007
Ohio Wesleyan will welcome its Class of 2011 and celebrate the start of the 2007-08 academic year with a special convocation ceremony at 8 p.m. Aug. 23 in Gray Chapel at University Hall, 61 S. Sandusky St. The event also will be streamed live.
As part of this year's convocation, interim President David O. Robbins, Ph.D., will ring a ceremonial bell that has been used to call classes together at Ohio Wesleyan for 165 years. He also will encourage students to embrace the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead.
"Ohio Wesleyan will provide you with the experiences, connections, and tools to develop into the person that you want to become," Robbins plans tell the new class. "The choices are now yours, and the opportunities are endless."
Ohio Wesleyan's Class of 2011 includes students from 36 states and 24 countries, including India, Japan, China, Albania, Ethiopia, and Kazakhstan. The nearly 600 students have an average grade point average of 3.26, making them well-prepared for the rigors of an Ohio Wesleyan liberal arts education. A total of 26.4 percent were in the top 10 percent of their high school graduating classes, while 48.6 percent were in the top 25 percent.
For those who have declared majors, the largest group—10.5 percent—plans to study economics / economics management. That is followed by 6.5 percent who plan to study psychology and 6 percent who plan to study biology.Ohio Wesleyan University is an undergraduate liberal arts college that transforms the lives of its students through a combination of rigorous academics, mentoring relationships, and real-world experiences. Featured in the book "Colleges That Change Lives," the private university's 1,850 students come from 40 states and 45 countries. Visit www.owu.edu for more information.

In addition, compared to elderly patients with dementia-related psychosis taking a placebo, there was a significantly higher incidence of cerebrovascular adverse events in elderly patients with dementia-related psychosis treated with olanzapine, a component of Symbyax.
Symbyax should not be used with a monoamine oxidase inhibitor (MAOI) or within at least 14 days of discontinuing an MAOI. At least five weeks should be allowed after stopping Symbyax before starting an MAOI. Thioridazine should not be given with Symbyax or within at least five weeks after stopping Symbyax. Concomitant use of Symbyax in patients taking pimozide is contraindicated. Symbyax is contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to the product or any component of the product.
As with all antipsychotic medications, a potentially fatal condition known as Neuroleptic Malignant Syndrome (NMS) has been reported with olanzapine. If signs and symptoms appear, immediate discontinuation is recommended. Clinical manifestations of NMS are hyperpyrexia, muscle rigidity, altered mental status and evidence of autonomic instability (irregular pulse or blood pressure, tachycardia, diaphoresis and cardiac dysrhythmia). Additional signs may include elevated creatinine phosphokinase, myoglobinuria (rhabdomyolysis) and acute renal failure.
Hyperglycemia, in some cases associated with ketoacidosis, coma, or death, has been reported in patients treated with atypical antipsychotics, including olanzapine alone, as well as olanzapine taken concomitantly with fluoxetine. While relative risk estimates are inconsistent, the association between atypical antipsychotics and increases in glucose levels appears to fall on a continuum and olanzapine appears to have a greater association than some other atypical antipsychotics. Physicians should consider the risks and benefits when prescribing Symbyax to patients w

Minutes 06.09.00
University of
of Medicine Virginia School
Curriculum Committee
Surgery Conference Room,
Present (underlined) were: Reid Adams, Eve Bargmann, Robert Bloodgood, Anita Clayton, Gene Corbett, John Gazewood, Donald Innes (Chair), Howard Kutchai, Marcus Martin, Chris Peterson, Jerry Short, Linda Watson, Bill Wilson, Brian Wispelwey, Anthony Debenedet , Sixtine Valdelievre, Debra Reed (secretary)
- CSE status for 2005-2006 academic year. Michael Rein, Gene Corbett, and Brian Wispelwey will report at the June 16th meeting. The committee discussed the desirability of starting the program in July 2005 so that all third year students have a "CSE experience" with an attending. It was agreed the program [even if not fully developed] should start this July, making modifications (curricular details, faculty selection) as we proceed.
- Clinical Connections is a required part of the clerkships. The committee asks Dean Pearson as part of the transition week program to inform students that the Clinical Connections program is a required part of the clerkships.
- Anesthesia Experience. The Anesthesia one-week experience during the Surgery clerkship was discussed. The committee agreed the anesthesia program should be continued as part of the surgery clerkship, but that modifications were needed. The program needs a structured curriculum with objectives and processes defined. Expectations of students must be clear and equivalent for all students. Definition of the one-week UVA program and the integrated
program should allow both to continue with common objectives and expectations. Anesthesia at the Salem program will need to meet equivalent objectives and expectations as defined. Anesthesia and Surgery faculty need to be informed of the objectives and expectations of the anesthesia experience. Faculty development of Anesthesia faculty and residents must be carried out. Roanoke
- Clinical Skills Assessment project update. Gene Corbett provided the committee with a progress report on the Clinical Skills Assessment project. Preliminary data were reviewed from the December and April assessments in which about 100 students participated on each occasion. A complete report with plans for the future will be presented in September.
- PassPort review. The committee reviewed and approved the newly modified PassPorts, although making several suggestions for improvement. While LCME ED-2 requirements are listed on some of the Passports, it is emphasized that the real time monitoring will be based on the student input through the website:

The Ballad of Abu Ghraibby Philip Gourevitch
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
An utterly original literary and intellectual collaboration by two of our keenest moral and political observers has produced a nonfiction Heart of Darkness for our time: the first full reckoning of what actually happened at Abu Ghraib prison, based on hundreds of hours of exclusive interviews with the Americans involved. Standard Operating Procedure reveals the stories of the American soldiers who took and appeared in the iconic photographs of the Iraq war-the haunting digital snapshots from Abu Ghraib prison that shocked the world-and simultaneously illuminates and alters forever our understanding of those images and the events they depict. Drawing on more than two hundred hours of Errol Morris's startlingly frank and intimate interviews with Americans who served at Abu Ghraib and with some of their Iraqi prisoners, as well as on his own research, Philip Gourevitch has written a relentlessly surprising account of Iraq's occupation from the inside out-rendering vivid portraits of guards and prisoners ensnared in an appalling breakdown of command authority and moral order. What did we think we saw in the infamous photographs, and what were we, in fact, looking at? What did the people in the photographs think they were doing, and why did they take them? What was standard operating procedure and what was being creative when it came to making prisoners uncomfortable? Who was giving orders, and who was following them? Where does the line lie between humiliation and torture, and why and how does that matter? Was the true Abu Ghraib scandal a result of an exposA1/2 or a cover-up? In exploring these questions, Gourevitch and Morris have crafted a nonfiction morality play that standsto endure as essential reading long after the current war in Iraq passes from the headlines. By taking us deep into the voices and characters of the men and women who lived the horror of Abu Ghraib, the authors force us, whatever our politics, to reexamine the pat explanations in which we have been offered-or sought-refuge, and to see afresh this watershed episode. Instead of a few bad apples, we are confronted with disturbingly ordinary young American men and women who have been dropped into something out of Dante's Inferno. Standard Operating Procedure is a book that makes you think and makes you see-an essential contribution from two of our finest nonfiction artists working at the peak of their powers.
Two of the country's top moral and political observers have produced the first full reckoning of what actually happened at Abu Ghraib prison, based on hundreds of hours of exclusive interviews with the Americans involved.
The first full reckoning of what actually happened at Abu Ghraib prison-"one of the most devastating of the many books on Iraq" (The New York Times Book Review)
A relentlesly surprising and perceptive account of the front lines of the war on terror, Standard Operating Procedure is a war story that takes its place among the classics. Acclaimed author Philip Gourevitch presents the story behind a defining moment in the war, and a defining moment in our understanding of ourselves- the infamous Abu Ghraib photographs of prisoner abuse. Drawing on Academy Award-winning filmmaker Errol Morris's astonishing interviews with the Americans who took and appeared in the pictures, Standard Operating Procedure is an utterly original book that stands to endure as essential reading long after the current war in Iraq passes from the headlines.

Historical Notes on the reign of King John
Constance of Brittany
31Constance (1161-1201) was the heiress of Conan IV, duke of the Bretons. For dynastic reasons, she was secured as a bride for Geoffrey Plantagenet while they were both children; her father arranged the marriage in order to secure connections with Henry II, who claimed to be overlord of Brittany, and to obtain his help in controlling rebellious vassals. Constance and Geoffrey had two children: a daughter, Eleanor, and a son, Arthur, who was born after his father's death. Shakespeare's report of Constance's death was created for dramatic effect, since she later married twice: first to Ranulf of Chester, with whom she quarreled (the marriage was anulled); secondly to Guy of Thouars. Following the death of Richard I on 6 April 1199, Constance was active in trying to secure the English crown for Arthur. Their rival John was visiting them when he heard of Richard's death, whereupon he left hurriedly, possibly more out of fear of Constance and her barons than of her twelve-year-old son. Accompanied by a Breton army, Arthur and Constance seized Angers and assembled a host of barons from Anjou, Touraine, and Maine who were willing to accept Arthur as successor. They were soon joined by Philip Augustus of France, to whom Arthur did homage. Meanwhile, William Marshal, Hubert Walter, and Geoffrey Fitzpeter convinced the English barons to swear an oath of fealty to John, who was then crowned on 26 May. In August 1201, she died, apparently fully reconciled to John, who oversaw the execution of her will.See Holinshed's account of Constance's marriages.
Blanche of Castile
32Blanche (1188-1252) was the daughter of John's older sister Eleanor (not his mother Eleanor) and Alphonso VIII of Spain; thus she had indirect claims to the monarchies of both England and Spain. Married young to Lois in order to confirm the treaty of Le Goulet in 1200, Blanche was as vigorous in politics and the bearing of children as her grandmother Eleanor of Aquitaine. When Louis invaded England, she did her best to summon the assistance that her father-in-law, Philip Augustus, was unwilling to provide. She traveled to Calais, where she raised two fleets and an army under Robert of Courtenay; but most of the aid failed to arrive. With Lois, she reigned as queen of France from Louis's ascent in 1223 to his death three years later; his will left her in charge of government and the kingdom while their eldest surviving son was in his minority. She took immediate steps to crown Louis XI at the young age of twelve and acted as regent until he was old enough to reign alone. She also acted as regent during Louis IX's crusades, caring for his three children, successfully increasing the territories of France, and negotiating tirelessly to create alliances, often by marriages similar to her own with Louis VIII.
33Blanche ensured that her children were well educated and pious. Two of them in fact went on to become saints. Her daughter Isabelle founded a Franciscan house for young women in Longchamp (associated with the Sisters of Saint Clare, to whom Isabel in Measure for Measure is to become dedicated at the beginning of the play); she also endowed a convent, of which she became the Abbess. Her son, Louis IX was also canonized for his life of commitment to the crusades.

Best for the Natural Glow
Pros: Looks really natural. Blends easily. Very fine texture. Works on many skin tones.
Cons: May not be suitable for dark complexion.
It is an everyday skin highlighter. It comes in a travel-friendly packaging.
It gives a natural looking, shiny, pinkish glow to skin. It does not make you look like a shimmery disco ball as the shimmer is very fine.
Very little product is required for each use so one bottle lasts very long.
I love this.

With their nearly vertical rise in price, the digital currency Bitcoins are coming under increased scrutiny by skeptics and naysayers.
The Justice Department is leaning toward not charging WikiLeaks founder and editor Julian Assange for publishing the classified documents he received from PFC Bradley Manning, according to a report published by The Washington Post.
A document leaked by whistleblower Edward Snowden reveals that the NSA is intent on maintaining its dominance in intelligence collection and has pledged to expand upon those powers.
In light of revelations of NSA surveillance of foreign leaders and people, the question of whether the Fourth Amendment applies to citizens of other countries is being debated.
Various government agencies are discussing the possibility of regulating Bitcoin, but some experts say that Bitcoin's decentralized nature makes it difficult if not impossible to regulate.
Hacker Jeremy Hammond, a so-called "hacktivist," or an activist who uses hacking to further a cause, was sentenced to 10 years in federal prison on Friday for his role in stealing documents and financial data from the private intelligence-gathering outfit Stratfor and handing the material he obtained to WikiLeaks — part of an effort he says was aimed at exposing government criminality to the world.
WikiLeaks has published the chapter of the secret Trans-Pacific Partnership agreement that covers intellectual property rights.
Revolution Truth announced that it has joined the Tenth Amendment Center's OffNow coalition aimed at cutting off the power to the NSA.
Edward Snowden said the National Security Agency and its British counterpart are among the "worst offenders" engaged in uncontrolled mass surveillance.
Senator Mark Udall (D-Colo.) is leading a bipartisan coalition of senators aiming to rein in the NSA's widespread surveillance.
