A big crowd was on hand tonight for the Magnolia Moms group fundraiser at Fatima. The sixth annual Trunk Show and Coat Drive provides winter coats for children living in the five shelters the group supports.
Everyone attending the event donated a coat and the donations piled up quickly.
There were lots of vendors selling everything from purses to jewelry and lots in between. Magnolia's own Vixen had lots of great items for sale including these sexy numbers for the holidays.
All of the vendors at the event donated 10% of their sales tonight.

Look around the world at our bloodiest conflicts, and more often than not, they have something to do with religion. The most recent violent clash between the Jewish state of Israel and Hamas, the militant Islamic fundamentalist organization in Gaza, is a prime example.
Here in the USA, too, some of our most intractable social conflicts -- abortion and gay marriage -- are grounded in different ways of seeing the world religiously.
So how is it that some nations such as the U.S. handle religious conflict sensibly while others -- Iraq, Sudan and Middle Eastern countries -- bleed? For starters, ...

The City always seemed an artificial place; canyons of masonry and glass and steel.

It wasn't until I started commuting up the Hudson and across the Tappan Zee that I started getting these . . . well, it would be really pretentious to call them visions. Let's say vivid imaginings of what the valley and Manhattan itself would have looked like three hundred years before.This was all rubbed in by the Ken Burns series about New York. One episode was about the reworking of the island by Clinton-Dewitt. Flattening it out, filling in the holes.

What is Chiropractic in General?
Chiropractic is a profession within the health care field that deals with the neuro-musculoskeletal system of the human body. A doctor of chiropractic will diagnose, treat and prevent injuries and disorders of the nerves, muscles and bones.
While a chiropractor will diagnose and treat these resultant injuries and disorders, the main objective of the chiropractor is the removal of nerve interference allowing the body to heal itself without invasive procedures and/or drugs. As would be the case with any other field of care, our patients at Aim High Chiropractic Denver receive a thorough consultation including history and examination of their major complaint. After considering possible causes of the patients' condition a diagnosis is established and a treatment plan is created. Should a patient require treatment outside the scope of chiropractic care they are referred to the appropriate medical specialist in our area.
As the science of chiropractic has evolved so have the techniques used within its practice. Common treatment methods have grown to include nutritional counseling, orthotics, lifestyle modification / exercise programs and physical rehabilitation programs. While these adjunctive treatments are certainly beneficial, spinal and joint manipulation remains the primary and most effective mode of treatment by our clinic. Statistics reflect that nearly 95% of patients that seek chiropractic care in Denver do so as a result of musculoskeletal pain such as:
- Neck pain
- Headaches
- Back pain
- Extremity pain
- Carpal tunnel syndrome
- Strain/sprain injuries
Conditions caused by spinal dysfunction accounts for the remaining 5% of chiropractic patients. These conditions are those manifesting through the nervous system, such as:
- Asthma
- Allergies
- Colic
- Constipation and other digestive dysfunctions, etc …
Chiropractic care is not a guaranteed miracle treatment. However, it is not uncommon for patients to report an improvement in the conditions listed above after receiving chiropractic treatment. The majority of people in Denver understand that chiropractic treatment is beneficial for back and neck pain, headaches and sprain/strain injuries. However, very few people including those in the medical community, truly understand the affect adjustments have on the central nervous system. In particular, the affect adjustments have on the autonomic nervous system and its sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system.
Chiropractic – Scientifically Explained
If you are looking for a scientific explanation of how chiropractor works this paragraph is for you. A concise scientific explanation of chiropractic is that adjustments directly affect musculoskeletal structures, by reducing pain and increasing joint motion. Musculoskeletal structures include ligaments, muscles, joints, joint capsules and surrounding myofascial tissues.
Aside from this direct benefit, the autonomic nervous system is indirectly effected by the down regulation of the sympathetic nervous system (fight or flight system), and promotion of the para-sympathetic nervous system (rest and repair system). This is done through the effects the chiropractic adjustments have on the joint capsules, and the body's proprioception mechanism (sense of where one is space) through the mechanoreceptors (provide information regarding mechanical changes within the body) in the joints and periarticular tissues (tissue surrounding the joint).
That's a lot to take in, but it is the explanation as to why some chiropractic patients report improvement in organic function, not only musculoskeletal benefits. To reiterate, this is not a claim that chiropractic adjustments treat systemic pathology, but does suggest that some who have systemic symptoms may see results from chiropractic care even without the presence of pain.
Health Benefits of Chiropractic Care
Those that have been dealing with chronic pain or have been injured are not the only individuals who should seek chiropractic care in Denver. The benefits of chiropractic care can be realized for many people with any variety of health conditions. Even those relatively "healthy" individuals with few, if any, health conditions can see the benefits of chiropractic maintenance care.
The impact of life's daily grind adds up stressing the human body in far greater ways than you might realize. Regular chiropractic adjustments can restore and maintain balance within, allowing the innately intelligent human body to heal itself, leaving you better prepared to live life to its fullest. Regardless of one's walk in life, anyone can benefit greatly from regular chiropractic care. Routine chiropractic treatments will help maintain the body at the high level of activity life calls for, allowing the body to self-heal through proper alignment. Your spinal column serves as a conduit through which the human brain sends messages through and out to the body's nervous system. It is simple to see how protecting the integrity of this important structure, through regular visits to Aim High Chiropractic Denver is vital to the body's optimal function and overall health.
The Education of a Chiropractor
Most patients don't realize how much schooling chiropractors in Denver have to go though before they can start practicing? Chiropractors are held to some of the most intense educational requirements of any health profession. In fact their schooling requirements are very comparable to that of medical practitioners. After completing a heavy emphasis of basic sciences in and undergraduate program, potential chiropractors may be accepted into a five year chiropractic college. During that time they do extensive course work in the areas of:
- Anatomy
- Physiology
- Public Health
- Microbiology
- Pathology
- Biochemestry
- Chiropractic Philosophy and Practice
- Chiropractic Diagnosis
- Adjusting Methods
- Nutrition
- X-Ray

Sail-World New Zealand: 28 October 2010
Andrew Clarke and Michael Cate on Clamp Products celebrating another good race by finishing upside down - HARKEN Labour Weekend Regatta 2010 Rosie Reid
Welcome to Sail-World.com's New Zealand newsletter for 28 October 2010
It's the start of the silly season again.
No it's not Christmas, not quite.
The International Sailing Federation Conference is due to get underway in Athens, Greece in a week. At this stage of the Olympic cycle the agenda should be relatively quiet. However this year the ISAF will have to decide whether it is going to back its Olympic Commission, which has conducted a wide-ranging review of the sport, and recommended some very significant and deep seated changes.
As we have noted before implementing those changes will involve shooting a number of sacred cows.
The other option for the ISAF is to do what they usually do at a time of change, which us to stick with what they already have - but just give it a new name. Having change, while it all remains the same, is the objective of this particular political game.

Such gutlessness won't do the job prescribed by the ISAF's Olympic Commission. In this edition we run a couple of reports from classes and individuals on the subject, and we expect more of the same over the next few days.
Just bear in mind that any case put forward by an Olympic class, was deemed sufficiently weak by them to be not worth putting to the ISAF's Olympic Commission when they called for submissions on the draft report in May. Yes, amazingly none of the current Olympic classes responded to the ISAF invitation at that time.

Its a time of great change in the America's Cup, too. In our last edition we ran an interview with Regatta Director Iain Murray. In this edition we have an interview with America's Cup Event Authority Chairman, Richard Worth. It's a long story but sets out his thoughts as to how the America's Cup can be improved and lifted to the point and beyond that achieved by his previous charge, the UEFA Cup football organisation.

I forgot to include the fact that the debentures holder has to pay full income tax on the 8% interest received
Original post :
If, instead of buying $10,000 of debenture, one were to buy today $10,000 of $2.75 shares, what would the difference be in 5 years time ? Well, 5 years later :
- The owner of the debentures exchanges his $10,000 for 2857 shares, having accumulated also $4,000 in cash ($800 x 5) over the years (not including compounding)
- The owner of the shares still has his 3636 shares (10,000 / 2.75)
Thus the debentures person has $4,000 more but 779 shares less. How much are worth those 779 shares in 5 years time ??? Your guess is as good as mine, but let's just say that if those shares are worth only $5.14 then the final value is the same ( 779 x $5.14 = $4,004 ). But of course in five years, if the SP is at $20, then you're much better off than with the debentures... ( 779 x $20 = $15,580 ) Of course the bright debentures person should buy more ORT shares with his quarterly $200, but even then...
Conclusion : the debentures are for safe investing while optimists can just buy shares.

MAURICE RIVER — A Cape May man was killed when he attempted to pass a vehicle along Route 47, according to state police. A female passenger was critically injured.
After a preliminary investigation, police said 20-year-old Michael Hankins was driving a Chevrolet Camaro south on the highway about 9:50 p.m. Thursday when he tried to pass a vehicle in front of him and lost control.
Hankins moved into the northbound lane, but saw an oncoming vehicle and attempted to brake quickly and get back in the southbound lane, police said. He lost control and went off the roadway, police said.
Hankins struck a metal clothing donation container before hitting a utility pole along the southbound shoulder, authorities said. He was trapped in the vehicle while his passenger, 19-year-old Aimee Govoni of Villas, was partially ejected.
Govoni was flown to AtlantiCare Regional Medical Center in Atlantic City, where she was in critical condition.
Hankins suffered serious internal injuries and was taken to Inspira Medical Center Vineland, where he was pronounced dead a short time later.
The crash remains under investigation.

Hordes of people and their pets came out to the Salem Civic Center Saturday.
It wasn't for a dog show, but instead for a rabies clinic.
Earlier this week, two cases of rabies were announced in the Roanoke Valley.
To help keep pets safe, the City of Salem teamed up with other localities and the Virginia Department of Health to sponsor the clinic.
"We don't want our pets to get rabies because then we can get rabies, so we're trying to build up that barrier and protect not only animals but families," says Dick Tabb with the Department of Health.
Rabies shots were given to cats and dogs for just $5 each.
More than 800 pets were vaccinated.

While Seattle turns white (Snowmaggedon 2012!), the Internet is going black.
Well, significant portions of the Internet, that is, including Wikipedia, Reddit, WordPress.org and Flickr. These sites are going fully or partially "dark" for 24 hours on Wednesday, January 18 in order to protest SOPA, the Stop Online Piracy Act, and the Protect IP Act, two bills the Senate will begin voting on January 24. SOPA is widely criticized for being unconstitutional censorship in disguise. Not even the Obama administration supports it as written.
If this is the first time you're hearing about SOPA, read this helpful blog post over on CNET, which breaks down the potential impacts of the bill. I would refer you to Wikipedia...but you'll just run into the protest splash page (shown above).
Another strong opponent of SOPA is the local online entertainment network known as I Can Has Cheezburger (home of LOLcats and Fail Blog). Not only are they participating in the blackout Wednesday, they went so far as to create a protest song:
If you're interested in signing the petition against SOPA, you can sign the petition on Google or contact your representatives directly.

Inspirational romance
Ratings: 5 Cups
Jessie Nelson was never really involved with the family's business, Nelson Cosmetics. She always felt her first love was fashion.
Flint Jackson never forgave his father for uprooting the family to start his own business. Through the years, the anger grew inside him for three decades.
Flint made sure to release some of his anger against his father by doing a turnaround. He threw a blow back by taking the business out from underneath him. It was something that killed his father, but Flint did not care. As the anger slowly built up, he decided to release a little more onto everyone around him, even toward Jessie, who had abandoned him. Jessie informed her parents she was not suited for the business, choosing to live her own life. After being injured in an accident, her friend, Gregg, gave her a white rainbow necklace as a symbol of a second chance. As she grew older and learned from her mistakes, she discovered there was more out there for her, even with a man like Flint. Can the two finally find a way back to each other and create that magic once again?
White Rainbow is a magnificent look at hardships, betrayals, loves lost, loves found, and the one love that finds a way to crack open the softness of the heart. Karen Wiesner has done it once again with her excellent storytelling, wonderful romance and in-depth characters. She makes the reader ache for each and every one of the players. Ms. Wiesner knows how to pen a story that really snatches the reader. I could feel the agony, the conflict among each of the characters, and the rejoicing afterwards. This compelling story gives an uplifting feeling where one can find a way back to happiness and wash away all hurt.

No state or federal law requires an employer to establish a progressive discipline policy. But if your organization has one, make sure you follow it.
Most discipline cases lost in court or arbitration are the direct result of a manager's failure to give adequate warning, document properly or enforce rules consistently and fairly.
Here are the steps to keep in mind when doling out discipline under a progressive discipline system:
- Document verbal warnings and counseling. Then place these notes in employee personnel files. Avoid the practice of removing disciplinary actions from employee files after a year; without these records, you may get stuck at step one of the progressive discipline process even if an employee commits multiple infractions.
- Remember that discipline cannot be carried out in a vacuum. It must be tied to employees' prior warnings and performance reviews. Document your efforts by using a Discipline Documentation Notice.
- Allow employees to tell their sides of the story. Be sure to document what they say.
- Let employees know what is expected of them. Explicitly state: "I expect that you will ..." Then provide the employees with the tools necessary to reach the goal. The responsibility of shaping up then lies in the hands of the employees.
- Set deadlines. Employees must be provided a reasonable time period within which to correct the problem. Generally, you want to steer clear of issuing a warning at 9 a.m. and terminating the employee at 3 p.m.
- Spell out the consequences of inaction. Employees need to know that they will be subject to a specific adverse action if the problem addressed is not remedied.
- Skip steps only when warranted. It's not illegal to terminate an employee without running through your gamut of progressive discipline steps. But be sure that such extreme action is clearly deserved.

Charlie Cook: Don't Fall for "Cheap Spin and Drive-By 'Analysis'" of NY-26
10:54 AM, May 18, 2011 • By JOHN MCCORMACK
Charlie Cook on next week's special election in western New York:
Read the whole thing here. For a taste of the "cheap spin and drive-by 'analysis'" that Cook is talking about, see this Washington Post news story calling NY-26 a "referendum on the Republican plan to overhaul Medicare." Like Cook, Nate Silver at the New York Times has also cautioned against reading too much into the race.
The House GOP plan to reform Medicare may hurt Republicans a lot, a little, or not at all in 2012. Paul Ryan himself has said he doesn't know what the political consequences of his budget will be. He does know entitlement reform is necessary to avert a debt crisis.
But Cook is right. Given the peculiarities of the NY-26--a divided GOP that's tarnished by a congressman who resigned in disgrace--it would be foolish to call the race a bellwether or a referendum on Medicare reform.

read the movie review
General Impression A win/win scenario going in. Mrs B prefers to watch internal cumshot scenes, and I enjoy seeing Tory Lane & Denice K in action.Hopefully that happy feeling will still be there after viewing Just Popped In. Sex Highlights Some good stuff here. Ive noticed that Hilary Scott has a habit of teasing the camera/viewer with some nasty talk and stripping to begin her scenes. Sure enough we get the Hilary special here and its a great way to get the viewer into the action.

We love beer. That's why we're devoting an entire year to discovering (and drinking) cold ones from near and far. Know of a beer worth shouting out? Send us a note at firstname.lastname@example.com.
You won't find spruce ales all too often, though they have a fairly long history in the United States. Philly's own Benjamin Franklin was known to brew one, using spruce and molasses in place of (or in addition to) hops and barley. Philadelphia's Yard's Brewing Company recreates that recipe here, and the resulting beer is one that will challenge your notions of what beer should taste like. If you've never smelled a Christmas tree in a glass, just order a pint of this. Evergreen and mint dominate the flavor and aroma, with mild hints of spice floating in the mix. Sweet molasses provides the backbone, with hints of dark cherries and figs hiding behind all that pine. It's not hard to imagine Ben being a bit of an eccentric if this was his beer of choice. Try it at Irish Pol.

Ste. Genevieve County, MO (KSDK) -
Four members of a Hillsboro family were treated for carbon monoxide poisoning after a problem apparently caused by the generator in their camper.
It happened Saturday at Hawn State Park near Ste. Genevieve.
Glenn Orton, Jr., said his son, 5-year-old Sullivan, would remain hospitalized Saturday night. Glenn and his wife, Lynn, and their infant son, Augustus, were treated and released.
Glenn said early Saturday, he and his wife noticed something was wrong.
"When I walked in the camper my oldest son was screaming, upset, and my youngest boy was basically lying next to my wife. And he was screaming too. When my wife went to pick up my son to put him in the upper bunk, she felt dizzy and said, 'I don't feel so good.' So I said why don't you go outside and get some fresh air. When she came back she said, 'I think there's something going on with this camper,'" he said.
She was apparently right.
This happened after Glenn turned on the generator so they could use the coffee maker. He believes he knows what the problem is.
"I have a switch inside. Apparently the exhaust exits here," he said, as he showed the compartment on the exterior of the camper where the generator is located. "And there must be a leak over there by the head. The pipe comes out the front here. I probably might have gotten some exhaust in the camper that way, and through the front of the compartment, where there may be a leak."
Glenn said everybody is going to survive.
"My 5-year-old was almost convulsing and shaking really bad. So they're going to keep him overnight."
Glenn said Sullivan's carbon monoxide levels have dropped.
Glenn said the camper contains a carbon monoxide detector. What it did not contain are working batteries.
"I have two batteries," he said. "First one went dead, then the second one went dead."
Glenn said he is glad everybody is going to be alright.

The Norrøna /29 Warm2 Hooded Fleece Jacket is the high-performance technical jacket that is equally at home at the office or at 25,000 feet. Polartec Power Stretch fleece fabric is super-warm, still insulates when it's wet, and its 4-way mechanical stretch ensures that your movement won't be restricted. The /29 Warm2 has a casual cut that won't look out of place summiting Everest or summiting the elevator at the office.

They had this one around for 2 seasons and I will miss this Sweatshirt; it was my favorite product from Norrona. Not sure if they are going to bring it back in the future, but it will be missed. P
My favorite layering piece
- Gender:Male
- Familiarity:I've used it several times
Try Norrona it is some good stuff especially if you are tall and skinny (6'2" 175). This jacket has excellent fit, quality, and little details that are nice. Very good under a true under softshell like Powershield Pro. Wore on a recent hike in Rocky Mountain National Park to a frozen lake at 10,000' while the wind was whipping down off the divide. It was perfect and the hood are collar are really nice. I already think less of Patagonia and Marmot after discovering this brand. Some of the stuff from Norway and England is actually better.
I agree, Norrona makes way better stuff than Patagonia and especially Marmot, qualitywise , fitwise and otherwise.
My personal favorite as well
- Gender:Female
- Familiarity:I've put it through the wringer
This is easily the best fleece Norrona has ever come up with, probably the best on the market right now. i have tried hundreds of fleece jackets of all brands and nothing comes close. very versatile, too. I feel the same way Seth does. I use it for skiing, hiking, cold weather layering, around town and just about everything else. I am 5'11" 155 lbs girl and fit comfortably in a medium or large for roomier fit. What I love about it the most is the long slim fit to cover my long torso and especially my lower back, because there is nothing more annoying than cold drafts up my back, when clothing rides up, or when it is not long enough, which happens a lot with women's clothes for my size. I find this men's version to be much more suitable for me. This fleece is extremely soft, light and WARM WARM WARM! When layering, it is not bulky, youbarely even know it's there... Being very active, i put comfort in first place and never neglect the styling. I am picky that way and am willing to pay top dollar and demand both! This piece in perfect in every way and well worth the price, especially for you tall, slim men! Get it!

A personal Favorite
- Gender:Male
- Familiarity:I've put it through the wringer
I use this fleece year around for skiing, climbing, ice climbing...or around town. Great breath-ability and Super comfortable. It has a slim fit so I don't have allot of material bunching up under my other layers.
Awesome yet not awesome
- Gender:Male
- Familiarity:I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
Norraana stuff looks so freaking awesome when you see it online but then you put it on and it just doesn't look like you imagined. It fits so differently from everything else I have so I guess I just can't get used to it. Great product but not for me... at least for now.
I feel quite the opposite is true. It looks great online and when i put it on, i look even better and i love it even more.
I have to personally agree with Ja, Norrona has the best fitting clothing on the market (for me at least) and I am pretty picky. I find Arc'teryx to be the most awkward fitting clothing out there; too baggy in all of the wrong places, especially the thighs and upper arms.
It's difficult for me to find technical clothing that fits my body type. I'm 6'4" and 190lbs. Most clothing is too boxy and not long enough in the arms and waist. Norrona's clothing fits me like a glove.
Great versatile jacket for many conditions
The Norrona /29 Warm 2 fleece is created with an incredibly soft and supple fleece. The jacket is slim fit and has a lot of flex to it which is great for a multitude of activities. I have done everything from ice climbing to trail running with this jacket and it's construction is sturdy as can be. There is virtually no wear to this product whatsoever. Depending on the activity the jacket can be incredibly warm. I have ran with it on trail in the teen degrees F and had to take it off because I was dying it was so warm (though I am trail running). When engaged in less aerobic activities where there is some movement and then some stand still it seems to be great. It is also nice just to wear when I am hanging out at a pub or on the patio on a cool fall evening. The only flaw in my perspective is that the jacket lacks adjustments around the hood and neck collar. The jacket is so soft the collar will not stand on it's own like many other Norrona fleece products do. Sometimes its nice to just have a high collar without the hood. The other flaw I see is that when zipped all the way up, the scuba hood clamps down tight around the base of the neck due to a constricting elastic band that is probably designed to keep more heat in. This becomes a problem when you wear a few base layers underneath (some with neck collars) which provides the sensation at times of a knot at the base of your throat. Other than that I am very happy with this purchase. if you are looking for something warmer Norrona also has a 250 fleece and 300 fleece jacket you should check out. I am 5'10, 165 lbs (give or take) and have a 39 inch chest. I wear a size Medium and it fits me perfectly. Last but not least the length of the jacket is a little longer than another jacket, so it never rides up as do other jackets tend to do and there is no definitive elastic band on the bottom that allows the jacket to bunch up. The slim flex of the material keeps the jacket close without having to pull it down constantly. Other than the few flaws in my perspective this is a great jacket and I love it, but I am a tough sale and can't give it a 5 star due to the reasons listed above. I hope this helped you out.
I am pretty sure that they increased the price on this one by $15 dollars. I thought I paid $169 for mine.
Warm and light
Great light weight (but warm) fleece. Slim cut, but incredibly flexible (6'3'' 190 lbs and a L fits perfect).
The purple jacket looks exactly like the one pictured above. There is no plum coloring and the green is where it is supposed to be.
I'm just about the same height and weight. Does the L jacket fit snug or is it more of a lose fit on your frame? I would like to lean towards a more snug fit, but am unsure whether to go with a M or L.
Will any larges in other colors show up...
Will any larges in other colors show up this season?
Hey D,
Unfortunately it does not look like we have any more coming in stock.
They only put one order in a year to Norrona.
Beware the purple...misleading photo
Guys, I just got the purple one. It does NOT have any green whatsoever on it Except the logo on the arm. It has a plum color where the green shows up in the photo. I am giving it to my wife as I bought it to match my green Norrona stuff. I hate it when the photos are not accurate.
The picture is correct, could you show a picture of the jacket you got?
Since you were out in my size, I got it from Norrona in Norway shipped to me
How much did norrona charge you to ship this overseas?
The purple color is accurate with the picture, I am not sure what tdudnyk is talking about. Mine looks identical to the picture.
norrona charges a flat shipping cost of $20 per order for all orders that are shipped to US from sweden (not norway), which is not bad at all. Once it gets to your door, you have to write a check to UPS for import taxes/duties. With this price increase it will cost you about the same ammount buying it here or directly from Norrona.
Could this be used as a stand a lone with...
Could this be used as a stand a lone with just a thin shirt underneath for not so active days in the 30's??? I want something I can wear just walking around town, but something that gives BIG time warmth.
It's not windproof, but it's definitely warm enough to wear in 30 degree-ish weather and even a little colder as long as its not too windy. As *tdudnyk* says, it fits like a second skin which really helps keep in the heat.
Definitely!! And girls will want to cuddle, too!!
Whats the hood situation here. Is it snug...
Whats the hood situation here. Is it snug and thin enough to wear under a helmut. I find the patagonia R1 hood a bit too large and thick for helmut use
It is super snug, perfect for a helmet
Another great Norrona fleece
These guys make really the best fleeces out there. They also cost a ton, but are worth it. Fits like a second skin, looks cool, and is remarkably warm. The wrist holes are super trick and help to keep your knuckles covered. It is made of the same material as my Arcteryx RHO long underwear which means it is super insulating.

Procedure for Requesting University Cellular Telephone Equipment and Services
- The requesting employee must fill out a
"Request for Cellular Telephone and Service"
form with this information:
- Name, department, job title, Peoplesoft department, and University telephone number.
- Justification of cellular need and estimated monthly usage.
- Employee and Department head's signature.
- Vice President for Administration and Finance's approval for all smart phones.
- Submit request to the Telecommunications department in person, by fax, or via campus mail.
- The Telecommunications department will determine an appropriate service provider, equipment needs, and the most cost-effective service plan based on the expected usage.
- Copies of the University's "Cellular Telephone Equipment and Services Policies" and "Cellular Telephone Equipment and Services Procedures" will be provided to the end user, and that user will sign the required "Cellular Telephone Assignment" form at the time of phone and accessory delivery.
- The Telecommunications department will retain the original "Cellular Telephone Assignment" form, provide a copy to the employee, and send a copy to the employee's department head.
Procedure for Personal Use Reimbursement
- It is each employee's responsibility to indicate whether they will use their University cell phone for personal use on the "Request for Cellular Telephone and Service" form.
- Employees shall pay $180.00 at the beginning of each fiscal year (July 1) if they select the personal use option ("Personal Use Fee"). The Personal Use Fee shall be made payable to Towson University and remitted to the University Bursar's Office. It is the responsibility of the employee's to assure annual payments are remitted. If an employee enters into the personal use option anytime after the first day of the fiscal year, the fee shall be calculated on a prorated basis. The University reserves the right to change the annual fee at any time.
- The University shall cancel the cell phone of any employee who is discovered to have made personal calls without choosing the personal use option; upon cancellation, the employee will be required to reimburse the University for all costs incurred.
Procedure for Business Call Reimbursement
If an employee elects to use a personal cell phone for occasional business use, he or she can request reimbursement for these calls.
- The employee must submit the cell phone bill with call records noted to the department head for review and approval.
- After approval is obtained from the department head then the employee may request reimbursement from Working Fund. The cost of this reimbursement should be calculated as follows:
- If the business calls are part of the employee's personal cell service plan's packaged minutes, the per-minute reimbursement rate is the total plan cost (including fees but not taxes) divided by the number of peak minutes provided by the plan. Example : If a 700 peak minute plan costs $58 and fees are $2 and taxes are $3.50, the per-minutecharge is $60 divided by 700 = $.086. This rate should be multiplied by the total number of business calls minutes plus any roaming charges incurred.
- If the business calls result in additional usage charges beyond the employee's personal cell service plan's packaged minutes, then the cost is the per-minute rate assessed by the service provider plus any roaming charges incurred
- Cell phone bills are to be retained in the department's files for auditing purposes for three years.
Procedure for Review of Service Plans
Departments are encouraged to review periodically their employees' cell plans with the Telecommunications department to assess whether it is the most cost-effective plan available. The Telecommunications department will review plans periodically to determine if employees are using the most cost-effective plan.
Procedure for University Audit
The University's Office of Internal Audit will conduct random reviews of usage and charges to verify that cell phone policies and procedures are followed.

|The effects of an in vitro exposure to 17β-estradiol and nonylphenol on rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) peripheral blood leukocytes.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 22182679 Owner: NLM Status: Publisher
|While xenoestrogens are routinely detected in the aquatic environment, there is little understanding of the immunotoxicological consequences of exposure to these chemicals in fish, or of the mechanisms through which these effects are mediated. This study was conducted to determine if estrogen receptors (ERs) are present in fish leukocytes and to characterize the effects of 17β-estradiol (E2) and the xenoestrogen nonylphenol (NP) on immune system endpoints in rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss). Q-PCR was used to confirm that freshly isolated peripheral blood leukocytes (PBLs) express ERs. Following 96-h incubations with E2 or NP (1nM to 10μM), PBL ER transcription was again examined using Q-PCR and lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated proliferation was assessed using flow cytometry. While the transcription of all four forms of rainbow trout ER was unaffected by treatment with E2 or NP, transcription of ERα1 and ERα2 was down-regulated following LPS stimulation. Both E2 and NP, at concentrations of ≥100nM and 10nM respectively, suppressed leukocyte proliferation. This first report of ERs in rainbow trout PBLs suggests a mechanism through with E2 and other xenoestrogens can modulate immune function. These results highlight the potential for xenoestrogens to impact host resistance to pathogens in wild fish populations.

Sophomore Matt Elliott (Peoria, Ill.) won the mens 200 breast in 1:58.39 and fellow sophomore Eduardo Solaeche-Gomez (Madrid, Spain) was third in a time of 1:59.99.
With another one-two-three finish, Thielmann grabbed her second win of the day after stopping the clock at 4:47.18 in the 500 free. Mathieu was second in a time of 4:49.36 and Bohunicky took third in 4:49.62. The men followed suit, as Taylor took the win in a time of 4:25.33, Frayler was second with a 4:26.07 and freshman Justin Kaisrlik (Clermont, Fla.) finished third as he clocked in at 4:28.45.

Then the mens 200 IM saw the Gators take the top three spots again. Cieslak earned his third win on the day after finishing in a time of 1:46.99, Solaeche-Gomez was second with a 1:47.78 and Rousseau took third in 1:49.70. The men closed out the meet with a win in the 400 free relay. The group of deBorde, Werner, freshman Corey Main and sophomore Matt Curby (Oviedo, Fla.) won with a time of 2:54.94.
In the diving events, freshman Delaney Dye (Tallahasse, Fla.) finished second on the three-meter after scoring 296.85 and freshman Kahlia Warner (Australia) was third on the three-meter with a 277.95. For the men, senior Sean Saley (Pompano Beach, Fla.) took third on the three-meter with a score of 314.33.
Florida will return home for their last dual meet of the season as they host SEC opponent Tennessee on Friday, February 1 at 7:00 p.m. in the OConnell Center.
Gator fans are encouraged to follow the swimming and diving program via Twitter or Facebook. A complete recap of each days events will be available on www.Gatorzone.com.
