I just realized there IS somebody I care less about than a Kardashian.
I don't ever need to see "Snookie's" shoes. Cut her off right at the knees….or much much higher.
She has none
I knew when I saw this pic that this was one time you *didn't* want to see the shoes, CD.
If it weren't for all her STD's and having to listen to her talk, I wouldnt mind banging that thang.
Well played, Snooki. I didn't even thing to comment on what a shitty little ewok you are when I saw those disastrous shoes.
You know…there used to be a time when clown put some effort in their make up to create sad or happy faces; wore this outrageously over-sized shoes and cloths with the sole purpose of making people happy.
Now we get this idiot instead; times sure have changed.
Nice to see Snooki in Hollywood, since most of Hollywood has been in her.
This is why Al Qaeda hates us.
Yeah, they let her live.
How does she keep escaping from NJ? Just terrible security.
I thought she lost some weight. Guess she fell off the wagon.
Can you blame the wagon?
No, she broke the wagon.
Classy. Understated. Doric I'd say.
I'd say Ionic…doric doesn't have that weight at the bottom….(Both of them)
And it would not be a day of no talents if we did not have Snooki show up.
%3…And I'd just like to say that I recognized the lack of substance in your comment so quickly my browser told me to slow down….
You really need to get a life, because yours is fucking sad and pathetic. The fact that you think people give two shits about your opinion especially on here lends to the fact that you are probably a powerless loser in real life.
What happened to those classic Venom "I don't care what people on the Internet think about me" posts? You know, the ones that went on for two or three paragraphs about how it wasn't worth your time or trouble to respond?
Hey MrsWrong, who died and made you the scorekeeper? I, personally, don't recognize your expertise or your level of good judgment that qualifies you to make such discernments.
Nothing personal. I still have the hots for you.
Those boots could stop traffic. But only if you were using the wearer as a speed bump
Confused, Snooki had her tennis shoes made entirely out of tennis balls.
Might be the only functional balls she'll ever see
Smurf lawyers are gonna sue her for damaging their brand.
Remember those dreadful Bratz dolls? She's the prototype for the one called 'Fat Slut'.
Bad shoes. Good tits. I'd hit it in heartbeat.

Ten Biggest Plays of the 2013 Divisional Round
The results of the Divisional Round of the NFL playoffs is now in the books and four teams of the 32 that began the season are left to compete to appear in Super Bowl XLVII.
In two high-scoring games on Saturday the Baltimore Ravens survived the Mile High City in a game that was tied 5 times before Justin Tucker's 47 yard field goal 1:42 into the second overtime finished the Broncos 38-35.
In the evening game Colin Kaepernick overcame an opening drive pick-6 to rush for a quarterback-record 181 yards and lead a 579 yard attack by the 49ers in a 45-31 victory over the Green Bay Packers.
On Sunday the Falcons survived a ferocious second half rally by the Seahawks to win the first playoff game of Mike Smith's head coaching career 30-28.
In Foxboro, the New England Patriots took a 7-3 lead near the end of the first quarter and never fell behind again in a 41-28 win. Where the Patriots' lost was when Rob Gronkowski broke his left forearm which will keep him out for the remainder of the playoffs.

Big Merino: Good & Not-so Good Deals
The Big Merino just happened to be where our coach stopped on our way to Sydney, back from Canberra, primarily for a meal break. Of course, there just happened to be the gift shop there, which called my name. I went over to it just to see... you know. There really wasn't any of the woolen goods that called my name - besides, I'm allergic to wool! However, they had a lovely display of opal jewelry... and I've always loved opals. So, that was where I bought my opal necklace. The opal itself is beautiful, and has provided me with many compliments. The chain, well, I have very acidic skin, and I soon had a black mark around my neck from it... so changed the chain to a real gold one when I got home.
What to buy: Primarily woolen goods (perhaps made of Merino sheep wool?), and some other touristy items. But their opals are quite lovely too.
What to pay: $ to $$$$ I imagine
Our shopping center: ``CENTRO ``
Centro?? Even the name is crap,, used to be the Argyle mall.. that was even better than ``go to Centro`` this is what we have in there...............
-Best and Less
-Very small K-mart
- a dollar shop

- coles
- 5 dress shops + 2 for men

Timecop II the Berlin Decision
Jason Scott Lee had to save Hitler from being executed by a rogue Timecop.
There was also a 9 episode long TV show that had one episode where Bruce Campbell portrayed a visiting Timecop who played it fast and loose with the rules.
And there was also a short-lived line of tie-novels, at least some of which were published
the tv show had already gone off the air. Not an ideal scenario!

I've often said that if the people can't be armed, then the police also should not be armed.
That's right...I agree.
Military also....
Good for the environment also...every time the police fire their weapon they have to fill out paperwork....this will save a tree, or if they file electronic reports....it will save the electricity they would have used on the computer. I will also be a lot quieter...less gunfire. They can't hit their target anyways.

Turning Teaching Inside Out
A Pedagogy of Transformation for Community-Based Education
Edited by Simone Weil Davis, Barbara Sherr Roswell
|Publication Date
|December 2013
|Hardcover Ebook (EPUB) Ebook (PDF) Paperback
|Palgrave Macmillan
|Community Engagement in Higher Education
The Inside-Out Prison Exchange Program brings campus-enrolled and incarcerated students together as classmates in postsecondary courses built around dialogue, collaboration, and experiential learning. Contributors to this book consider the broader lessons that Inside-Out provides for community-based learning praxis, prison education and postsecondary teaching in general, both on campus and in community settings. An international network of practitioner-scholars probe the challenges and contradictions inherent in community-based work, but especially charged in the prison setting: the intersections of race, class and gender, and the tensions between teaching and activism, evaluation and advocacy, and compromise with and resistance to oppressive and dehumanizing systems. At a time when many in the Academy are seeking to deepen the impact of the community-based learning initiatives on their campuses, Turning Teaching Inside Out offers a model.

C. Bass Speaks
oh cut him some slack ladies she saved his life of course he's obsessed with her right now he probably feels like he owes her huge
i love this suit!! it looks so formal even though chuck wears suits all the time. it's like a groom outfit. i love him so much!! perfect, only if blair was there for him..
chuck and blair
He is so hot!!! I don't think he has manipulative motives. I think he wants to start a new life with Eva because he knows that there is no real chance for him to start all over with Blair. So Eva might be his way to get over the past. But maybe you are right and he never changes.. although he doesn't seem to be the same person he used to be - at least not for now. Sooner of later he will be back to his old habits, I'm pretty sure about that! ;)
@jake You're welcome. :-) It just doesn't make sense for "the changed" Chuck to bring Eva all the way to New York when he clearly mentioned that he only loved Blair and no one else. Why does he bring Eva to New York then? To make Blair jealous? Same manipulative ass as he was before (don't get me wrong - I love Chuck, but he hasn't changed a bit).
@millie, thanks a ton. Chuck can be pretty pathetic.
Wow. Ed Westwick certainly cleans up nicely.
Millie, how do you know that's what he says?
In order to hurt Blair, Chuck makes a speech in which he thanks Eva for rescuing him and says how much she means for him now. It's pathetic.

God Save the Quid
As heralded in Daniel Hannan's blog, Saturday marked an interesting turn for the tea party movement.

Insurance Makes Health Care Far More Expensive
Last week ABC ran a story on how the expansion of health insurance would drive up the cost of health care and worsen the existing problem.

Because when someone else pays for your health care, you aren't likely to | Read More »

Shaunie O'Neal has hinted that there might be some friction between the returning "Basketball Wives" cast members and newcomer Meeka Claxton.
Unlike castmates Evelyn Lozada, Jennifer Williams, Tami Roman and Royce Reed, Shaunie had little to do with the addition of Meeka to the show's roster.
"None of us knew Meeka before the show. She reached out to production. She showed a lot of interest and stayed real persistent… It was different to have somebody reaching out that I don't know at all. She seemed excited about it. So, we thought, 'What the heck,'" said executive producer Shaunie O'Neal, who is not at all opposed to the idea of new women joining the cast.
"I always said that I would want to have a new face every season. I don't know if that would work, or if it's even necessary," she told Sister 2 Sister.
In the case of Tami Roman, who joined the cast for season 2, the formula worked. It remains to be seen how it all comes together for Meeka.
Shaunie didn't seek the newcomer out, but now that Meeka is part of the series, the returning cast members are trying to make the best of things.
"You're coming into a bunch of ladies who already have relationships: good or bad. That's a difficult thing," Shaunie explained.
Of course, that response begged the question: Is Meeka getting along with her fellow castmates?
"I wouldn't say she's getting along. I would definitely not say that," Shaunie chuckled. "Trying to please everybody can get you in trouble. It's not working out quite like she had planned."
Things aren't exactly working out the way Shaunie planned either. She'd initially conceptualized the show as something to highlight "ladies who had something going on outside their husbands," she said.
Although the show has morphed into something else, Shaunie said she is still satisfied with what has resulted.
"I'm okay with the success of the show. I'm okay with something that—it being my first project ever, that I ever did—I'm really proud of the success," she said.

In the wake of a school investigation into his use of an SUV that may have violated NCAA rules, Joe McKnight did not travel with the USC Trojans to San Francisco yesterday. The team will play Boston College in the Emerald Bowl there on Saturday.
In an extensive investigative report published last Friday by Gary Klein and Lance Pugmire, the L.A. TIMES reported McKnight driving a 2006 SUV owned by Santa Monica businessman Scott Schenter "several times". When confronted about the vehicle by reporters, McKnight denied driving it.
Klein and Pugmire of the Times noted today that McKnight practiced with the team yesterday but did not make the trip to SF. Also noted: "McKnight participated in the workout but was not made available to reporters."
That may have been the case, but McKnight did indeed talk to a Los Angeles reporter yesterday, and not surprisingly he was not with the Times.
Also, it turns out that Carroll had every intention of taking McKnight on the team trip yesterday, but was stopped at the last moment by the USC Compliance Office.
From USC beat writer Scott Wolf of the L.A. DAILY NEWS:
USC coach Pete Carroll said Monday afternoon that McKnight would accompany the Trojans to the Bay Area.
But a few minutes later, USC's compliance office kept McKnight from going to the Emerald Bowl.
"He has some paperwork he needs to do, and it's best he stay in L.A. so he can be available to finish it," Carroll said. "We don't know right now how long this will take."
Wolf then followed with:
McKnight left the USC campus about 10 minutes after team buses departed for the airport.
"I'm not saying anything; you will just twist my words," McKnight said. "You've all (ruined) my life."
Klein is the USC beat writer for the L.A. Times, so he has to face the team and Carroll every single day. He also assisted on the story that supposedly "ruined" McKnight's life. Think Klein is excited about that gig these days?
Makes you wonder if Klein heard the same quote, but didn't report it. Or perhaps McKnight only gave the quote to Wolf of the Daily News to send a message to the Times reporters.
Regardless, Klein and Pugmire did an extensive job on their investigation into McKnight's vehicle use. And if rules mean anything, they probably shouldn't be blamed for McKnight's alleged poor judgement and dishonesty.

"A very comfortable home away from home"
This apartment is beautifully located with great views over the ocean. It is on the bus route into Torshavyn - or you can walk - it takes about 40 minutes. It is so well equipped - so much thought has gone into providing the best bedding, and the most comfortable furniture. High speed WiFi was a real bonus! The owner thoughtfully provided us with basic groceries - a real bonus. The apartment was warm, spacious and a great place to relax in after spending days sightseeing.
Thank you very much for leaving such a lovely review. We are glad that you enjoyed your stay and will look forward to welcome you again to our apartment.

"A warm, clean and comfortable property, close to the main town, with good parking."
As well as my comment on the property being warm, clean and comfortable this property had lots of windows which made it light and gave fantastic views of the sea. The furniture and fittings were all new and up-to-date and there were lots of dishes, pots, pans and utensils should you wish to cook (all new). The rooms were a good size and beds clean and comfortable. There was a small supermarket within walking distance. We had a car which made things much easier as the property was a little way out of Torshavn. This was an advantage in many ways as we were generally heading out to other islands, didn't need to be in the town, and the property was on the main road to Torshavn, in Hoyvik. It was also easy to find as all road signs direct you past it when you are coming to Torshavn (especially good when you are new and coming from the airport). Sorry don't know about buses but think there would be plenty as there seemed to be a bus stop outside and the property seemed to be on a main route. The only difficulty would be if you couldn't manage steps as there are steps up to the property. The bedrooms are also upstairs. Finally, a big thank you to the owner Jens, who answered any query promptly and was very helpful before we went on our trip. We had a wonderful stay, tracing our family in the Faroe Islands, and having such a nice place to return to each day made it even better.
Thank you very much for leaving such a lovely review. We are glad that you enjoyed your stay and will look forward to welcome you again to our apartment.

How to Install Subflooring for a Wood or Concrete Floor
Find out what subflooring material works best with a variety of flooring, then learn how to install it.
Bring in the subfloor panels to the space at least two days prior to the installation so they climatize to the relative humidity of the room (Image 1).
Dry fit subfloor panels to see how they lay out (Image 2). This prevents ending up with a small sliver at the end. To adjust the panels, cut some inches off the starter row using a table saw. Cut in a well-ventilated area.
Add temporary 1/4" spacers between wall and the subfloor panels to allow room for expansion and contraction (Image 1). These will be removed after the floor is installed.
Use a tapping block to ensure a tight seam (Image 2). Stagger the seams for a more stable floor (Image 3).
If there is a deflection in the floor of less than 1/2", stack up as many leveling squares as needed and check to make sure the panels are level. If the deflection is more than 1/2", concrete repair will be needed.

Transportation policy and planning have a profound impact on whether it is possible for Americans to integrate routine physical activity into their daily lives. Since 1950, transportation funding and infrastructure has focused almost exclusively on moving automobiles resulting in busy, high-speed arteries with limited transit choice and poor pedestrian infrastructure. Decades of auto-centered development have contributed to increased sedentary behavior by creating neighborhoods without sidewalks, destinations too far for walking, and traffic that is hazardous for nonmotorized transport. Current transportation decision making does not consider health impacts. This project is designed to educate the transportation community on the links between transportation choices and community health outcomes, and develop tools for incorporating health into transportation planning and policy. The project will document public interest in nonmotorized transport; examine the relationships between pedestrian-oriented infrastructures, transportation spending, and personal mobility; and create a model for transportation and public health planning. The project will be considered successful if several key transportation policy-makers begin to advocate for physical activity and other community health variables as a transportation-planning factor.

Can Cheerios Really Reduce Cholesterol?July 29th, 2009
General Mills has successfully marketed their Cheerios brand of cereal to the point of it becoming widely recognized as a healthy breakfast food that helps to prevent heart disease. Are their claims for real, or are they nothing more than marketing hype?
One thing we can be sure of is that General Mills is pushing Cheerios as a "heart healthy" food very aggressively. The Cheerios box proudly boasts it's cholesterol lowering capabilities and prominently displays the very expensive American Heart Association seal of approval, and just in case you overlook them, there are plenty of Cheerios commercials to make sure that you get the message.
Is Cheerios a Cereal or a Drug?
For several years, the Cheerios box proudly proclaimed that the cereal can lower your cholesterol by 4% in 6 weeks. The FDA took exception and sent General Mills this warning letter back in May indicating that such a claim is in violation of FDA policy and classifies Cheerios as an unapproved drug. This is in spite of the reputation that the FDA has earned for succumbing to political and corporate influence.
According to the FDA, General Mills can still promote Cheerios as a product that reduces the risk of heart disease, and as expected, they're taking full advantage of the remaining opportunity. Despite how little television I watch, I saw two Cheerios commercials just in the past week, both of which were entirely based on the claim that it reduces the risk of heart disease.
Can Cheerios Really Reduce the Risk of Heart Disease?
According to General Mills:
Oats contain soluble fiber that can help soak up some cholesterol. Too much cholesterol can build up in your arteries and put you at risk for heart disease. Think of oats as tiny sponges that can help soak up some cholesterol and naturally remove it from your body. The soluble fiber in oats binds some of the cholesterol in your digestive tract. This cholesterol is "trapped" and some of it is removed from your body naturally.
This perspective is seriously flawed and based on a symptom chasing mentality. According to the most up to date and unbiased beliefs, heart disease is typically caused by inflammation within the artery wall. In contrast, cholesterol doesn't stick to artery walls and cause atherosclerosis simply because it's circulating in the blood stream. A thorough investigation of heart disease research reveals that there is little to no correlation between saturated fat, dietary cholesterol, and heart disease.7-20 For more information on how we've been misled in regard to cholesterol and heart disease, read about The Cholesterol Myths and the Fat Head documentary.
As a crucial part of the cell membrane, cholesterol acts as a repair agent for damaged cells. As such, when cell damage occurs in the artery wall, the body produces additional cholesterol to repair it. Despite the fact that conventional medicine views high cholesterol as the cause of heart disease, it's typically just a symptom of a deeper underlying problem that's causing cell damage. Artificially lowering cholesterol hampers the body's ability to repair itself, and by neglecting the true cause of the problem, allows it to get worse.
Even if it were a good thing to intentionally lower cholesterol, which it is for only a small percentage of the population, General Mills claims that Cheerios can lower cholesterol by 4%. If your total cholesterol is 300, 4% of that is 12 which isn't much of a difference at all. In fact, this change is small enough to be considered a testing variance.
Cheerios Can Actually Increase Your Risk of Heart Disease!
There's good reason why diabetes and heart disease are associated. The high blood sugar that's characteristic of diabetes also causes the artery damage and inflammation that can lead to heart disease.5,6 Excessive consumption of carbohydrates is the primary cause of the blood sugar fluctuation that promotes these problems. As a grain based product, Cheerios is fairly high in carbohydrates, and when combined with other common breakfast foods, the amount of carbohydrate increases substantially.
The primary ingredient of Cheerios is whole grain which is another reason why it's promoted as a healthy cereal. Although whole grains are healthier than refined grains, they're still carbohydrates and can still convert into blood sugar rather quickly. Furthermore, Cheerios contains sugar and refined grain in addition to the whole grain which adds to the potential for blood sugar fluctuation.
A 1 cup serving of Cheerios contains 20 grams of carbohydrates. However, 1 cup isn't much and most people are likely to eat 2 or more cups in one sitting which at least doubles the amount of carbohydrates. By adding a cup of milk and a modest 8 ounce glass of orange juice, the meal quickly approaches 100 grams of carbohydrates which for many people is enough for the entire day! Although many people would consider this type of breakfast to be healthy, it's bound to cause blood sugar fluctuation and have a negative impact. In comparison, it would be quite a challenge to get this much carbohydrate from a truly healthy meal based on natural whole foods such as meat, fish, fruit, and vegetables.
Carbohydrates Aren't the Only Concern
Partly due to the misguided criticism of saturated fat, grains have become the most popular food in the modern diet. However, they're not as healthy as food manufacturers would like you to think. Grains have only been part of our diet for about 10,000 years which is less than 1% of our history. Research has shown that our height and brain size have decreased during this transition. There's also evidence of impaired growth, weaker bones, altered facial structures leading to malocclusion, and an increase in tooth decay and tooth loss.1-4 Although some people can do well on whole grain foods, many people have trouble digesting grains, particularly the gluten that many of them contain, and encounter significant health problems as a result.
Do Your Food Choices Pass This Simple Test?
With all of the misleading marketing and conflicting information that exists in regard to food and health, trying to make healthy food choices can be overwhelming for the average person. Fortunately, there's a simple way to get around this. If a food doesn't come from the ground, an animal, a tree, or a plant and was unlikely to be consumed by humans more than 10,000 years ago, then it's most likely not a healthy food. Considering how common processed food has become, most people are shocked by how much food this eliminates. As a result, they often fail to realize that there's still a wide variety of delicious meats, fish, fruits, and vegetables to choose from. In contrast to Cheerios, these are the foods that a truly healthy and natural diet is based on.

The LVH sports book in Las Vegas released their NFL win totals for every team in the league on Sunday. Take one guess where it set the Cowboys' over/under.
You're right. LVH has the Cowboys at eight wins for 2014. All Dallas has done is gone 8-8 the past three seasons.
LVH actually downgraded the Cowboys from last year. The book put Dallas' win total at 8.5 wins for 2013.

It's unfortunate that William Marbury's angry, domineering King Creon and Analisa Percuoco's defiant, strong-willed Antigone don't share more stage time in Scott Community College's production of Crossing Acheron: The Tragedy of Antigone. The actors share a similar energy in their performances, creating a palpable tension as the king condemns Antigone to be buried alive for, against his decree, twice attempting to bury her slain brother. Marbury and Percuoco are equally gifted at gleaning emotional meaning out of director/author Laura Winton's Greek-tragedy adaptation and delivering their words with conviction, and their performances and chemistry are so captivating that they left me hoping the two will appear in a future production that involves more interaction between them.

Scott Community College's heart-tugging production of playwright Bernard Pomerance's The Elephant Man is truly touching, with much of the credit for Thursday's emotion going to James Thames' portrayal of the titular character. While director Steve Flanigin does not use makeup to make Thames look like the real Joseph Merrick – who lived during the late 19th Century and who, for still-unknown reason, was deformed with what looked like gargantuan warts on his head, shoulder, torso, legs, and right arm – Thames manages to successfully depict physical abnormality by way of constantly holding his mouth to the right side of his face, even while speaking. Through the course of Merrick's existence from sideshow freak to hospital resident to friend of high-society England, it's Thames' unassuming nature and gentle speech, as filtered through his deformed face, that make his Merrick so heartbreaking and pitiable.

Scott Community College's Blue Sky Merchants is an interesting idea that doesn't reach its potential, mainly due to its absence of subtlety. Local playwright and actor John R. Turner's play about a man (simply named Deskman, and played by Turner) who listens to, and then green-lights or rejects, ideas for television shows could be a poignant commentary on modern society's tastes in entertainment. Yet while Turner has a laudable knack for dialogue, Thursday's production left me with too-little question as to his intended message, mainly because his Deskman character clearly states the author's intent, rather than allowing the audience to decipher it.

Two in court for murder of day mom, babyComment on this story
Two men appeared in the Delmas Magistrate's Court on Thursday in connection with the murder of a day mother and a five-month-old baby boy.
Mpumalanga police spokesman Lt-Col Leonard Hlathi said Enock Mbele, 44, and Lazarus Mabhena, 54, were denied bail.
"The matter was postponed to June 7 for further investigation."
He said the men were arrested on Tuesday and were found in possession of jewellery and a cellphone which police believe belonged to the victim.
The woman, Margrietha de Goede, 66, and baby were found strangled in her home last Wednesday.
The day mother's body was found under a carpet in an outside room. The baby was found under a bed in the main house. - Sapa

Former state Senator laid to rest in Austin
SAN ANGELO, Texas - AUSTIN — Former Lt. Gov. Bill Hobby spoke at the burial service of former state Sen. Grant Jones, and he imagined his colleague rapping on the pearly gates with his pipe, much the way he would use it in the Senate against his desk to get attention "like a gavel," Hobby said.

ABSTRACT: Simultaneous ipsilateral hip and knee fracture-dislocations are orthopedic emergencies requiring immediate management. Delayed or inadequate treatment usually results in an extremely poor outcome. Reduction of the dislocated hip can be difficult because of the ipsilateral knee dislocation and instability. We report a case involving a 46-year-old man with simultaneous ipsilateral hip and knee fracture-dislocations. He underwent closed reduction for the knee fracture in the emergency department but required open reduction and internal fixation of the unstable hip fracture-dislocation with a distal femur skeletal traction pin under general anesthesia.Hydrometallurgy 05/2011; 2(2):66-70.

Article: Fat Embolism Syndrome in Long Bone Fracture—Clinical Experience in a Tertiary Referral Center in Taiwan[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Fat embolism syndrome (FES) is a potentially fatal complication of long bone fractures. There have been no reports of FES in long bone fractures in this decade in Taiwan. The purpose of this study was to review the FES experiences in a tertiary referral center between January 1997 and February 2008. Between January 1997 and February 2008, 13 patients with long bone fractures with documented FES in our institution were reviewed. FES was diagnosed clinically by at least 2 major criteria or 1 major with at least 4 minor signs of Gurd's criteria. The incidences of FES, less than those reported in the literature, were 0.15% in fracture of the tibia, 0.78% in fracture of the femur and 2.4% in multiple fractures. The mortality rate of FES, similar to other available results, was about 7.7%. All cases were less than 35 years old, except for 1 70-year-old male. Fat embolism occurred within an average of 48.5 hours after long bone fracture. Eleven presented with sudden drop in hemoglobin level, dropping 4.2 g/dL on average. Nine presented with thrombocytopenia, and 10 presented with sudden drop in platelet count, dropping 140,000/dL on average. Two had cerebral sequelae without recovery at the last 48-month follow-up. This 12-year interval retrospective study revealed modern epidemiologic results for FES in long bone fracture. Compared with the available literature in the recent decade, the incidence of FES in long bone fracture in our institution is less and the mortality rate is similar.Journal of the Chinese Medical Association 08/2010; 73(8):407-10.

2016 application will be available Dec. 10, 2015
Davis Bahcall Application
Past Davis Bahcall Participants
Do you find the concepts of dark matter and energy fascinating? Do you have a passion for science and a desire to pursue a career in Science, Technology, Engineering, or Math (STEM)? Are you looking to jumpstart a future research career? Will you be a freshman or sophomore in a South Dakota University or have a home address in South Dakota in the Fall of 2015? Then you could be a 2015 Davis-Bahcall Scholar!
Fifty years ago, Professors Ray Davis and John Bahcall proposed an experiment to confirm the nuclear processes taking place at the core of the sun by measuring a tiny particle called a neutrino in a large tank of dry cleaning fluid a mile underground. This experiment - which took place at the Homestake Gold Mine in Lead, SD – changed our understanding of particle physics, and led to a Nobel Prize in physics for chemist Ray Davis. Today underground laboratories across the world are continuing the work started by these two seminal scientists.
Up to 12 students will be chosen to participate in this all-expense paid summer-study program. Two or three of the students enrolled at South Dakota universities will be designated South Dakota Space Grant Consortium Davis-Bahcall Scholars.
Finalists will participate in a 15 minute interview.

We're all guilty of this. An outrageous story about police abuse is shared online. We didn't go hunting for it, these things just fall into our laps. We give into the temptation to click that link, even though we are all too familiar with the unpleasant heart-pounding, adrenalin-pulsing, fight-or-flight response we naturally have to learning about these stories. Our protective instincts kick in. We also have to watch the attached video of course because the conflict is too alluring. By now your hairs are all standing on end, your breath is faster, you feel alive with indignation. Maybe more alive than you've felt all week -or since the last time you looked into one of these stories. Your new purpose in life is to see to it that the culpable parties are all punished in some way. You then find yourself in the all too familiar position of realizing how powerless you are to do anything about this, or to even prevent it from happening again. This helpless feeling, the same feeling all bullies secretly harbor, causes you to say and act in ways that are opposed to your true loving nature. "But it's out of love for the victims!" you tell yourself as you go to share the story with your own unoriginal comment condoning violence against bureaucrats. You start to click share, and then your sensible side kicks in. You remember Big Brother and that he's constantly watching you. This is where differences in personality determine your next course.
The Problem with Sharing Police Brutality "News"
Do you share it anyway, in what you've decided is an act of courage against what you perceive to be a great injustice, not just for the victims in the story, but against you for feeling so paralyzed in your own self-expression.
Or do you edit your comments so that it's less incriminating (something you could imagine justifying in court, in case the Gestapo comes to take you away). But everyone with a brain can interpret the true meaning behind your words.
Maybe you decide to erase your comments completely, and let the story speak for itself. Allow others to come to their own conclusions and possibly speak for you in the ensuing comments section. You dare your friends to justify The State's actions, to which you'll settle once you cross that bridge. But by then you've already held back your feelings so much, that you respond even more vehemently indignant than is sensible, because *now* it's even more personal.
Or do you let it go? Do you accept that you have no real influence, and that it might have been a mistake to get so worked up over things you can't control. It's difficult to come back to the present and the reality of life as it truly is, but you realize brooding over this is doing more harm than good. You feel somehow like you're backing down, giving into an argument with yourself. Your ego is ashamed of you for being a coward. But that's okay, because the next thing you know your watching a video titled "Stoner films the best 30-second nature documentary ever" and laughing out loud at how equally amazing and stupid it was. You smoke some weed, and feel glad you didn't let The State get the best of you. You realize you haven't done anything productive today despite the whirlwind of emotions, and decide to take advantage of the things that you actually do have some control over. You're back in the present and just happy being your lovable ol' self.
side note: There's a reason I put the word news in quotations in the title of this post. Most of us reading these stories are well aware of the fact that police brutality has been around as long as there have been victimless crimes enforced. There's nothing new about it, but the reporting of it is becoming more trendy with the passing of each day. I can see how this is a good thing for those people who honestly weren't aware of the problem. But for those of us who are fully aware, and painfully so, it's becoming more of a vicious cycle of confirmation bias swirling inside a vacuum of paralyzing fear. Nothing the police could do would shock me, and if you've been reading these stories as long as I have I'm sure the same goes for you. So let's stop putting ourselves through the agony already.

If you love fresh bread, triple creme cheeses, wine, crepes, ethereal pastries, bittersweet chocolate, or many more food pleasures, Paris needs no introduction. But are the best versions of these foods only available at 3 Michelin starred restaurants (of which Paris has several)? Not at all. Take a quick tour with us to some of our favorite pastry, cheese, bread, chocolate and ice cream shops and whet your appetite for your next visit to the City of Light. Hungry for more? Check out our Paris for Foodies and Paris with Kids posts.
Pierre Herme is a master of macarons. Try the Mogador (passion fruit macaron with chocolate filling), pistache and griottine (pistachio and cherry filled macaron) if it's in season, or caramel & fleur de sel. If you're not in the mood for macarons, millefeille and other pastries are also wonderful here.
While there is certainly no shortage of cheese shops in Paris, we especially love Fromagerie Quatrehomme (62 Rue Sevres). Marie Quatrehomme, one of the very best fromageres in the business, personally knows her producers and expertly ages their cheeses in the shop's cool cellars. Try the remarkable aged chevre, luscious St. Marcellin, truffled Mont d'Or, or get recommendations from Marie or her helpful staff.
Eric Kayser's bakeries are all over Paris (and even internationally--we've sampled his wonderful breads and pastries in Moscow) so you shouldn't have a problem finding one to sample his pain aux cereales, a light bread with grains of millet, sesame and sunflower seeds on the inside and a crunchy sesame crust. Pastries and sweet items are also delicious, especially the almond croissants and the seasonally available stollen.
For the best luscious ice cream or sorbet, make your way to Berthillon on the Ile Saint Louis. Try their famous intensely flavored cassis (black currant) or fraise du bois (wild strawberry) sorbets, or decadent chocolate and caramel ice cream. Note that the cafe is closed Mondays and Tuesdays.
A crepe from any crepe stand in Paris makes a good quick snack, but if you really want to indulge in some of Paris' best savory galettes and sweet crepes, make a reservation at Breizh Cafe. Try Bretonne galette, stuffed with egg, mushroom, bacon and cream, wash it down with cider, and finish with one of the delectable sweet crepes--perhaps raspberry, or the salted butter caramel.

Everyone has their favorite chocolatier in Paris, each with their own unique creations. We love L'Etoile d'Or (30, rue Fontaine) though, for its selection of hard to find artisanal chocolates from other parts of France, especially Bernachon chocolate from Lyon, which meticulously selects its own cocoa beans, then roasts, grinds, and blends the chocolate in-house. Try the pistachio marzipan or Kalouga (salted butter caramel enrobed in dark chocolate).
On Sundays, head to the organic market at Boulevard Raspail for a vibrant assortment of picture-perfect organic fruits, vegetables, prepared foods and more. Grab a cheese, potato and onion galette to munch on, and don't miss tangy and aged goat cheese from Philippe Gregoire.
Don't get us wrong--L'Arpege, L'Astrance and their ilk are spectacular and sublime experiences. But Taillevent, notwithstanding its 2-star Michelin status, is perfect for that decadent lunch (80 EUR), when you want more traditional haute French cuisine in a beautiful formal setting. Not to mention the incredible wine list, and generally lower markup than some other top restaurants. Maitre d' Jean-Marie Ancher warmly greets regulars and new guests alike and is a self-described fan of the U.S., where he has many friends. Photo: Hilary Stockton
Bistro Paul Bert has already made a name for itself, so you'll need reservations to dine here. Don't let that dissuade you, as it serves some of the best steak frites anywhere, along with superb fruit tarts, enormous Paris-Brest, and other indulgent desserts.
Ble Sucre may be a bit out of the way, located as it is in the 12th Arrondisement (7 rue Antonie Vollon) near the lively Place d'Aligre market. But it would be a shame to miss the perfectly flaky, buttery croissants, the caramelized kouign amann, the exquisite tarte tatin made from an entire apple, or more from Fabrice Le Bourdat, the former pastry chef at Le Bristol.
