Say What?

Tuesday: Open Forum
(Join each day's Coffee Talk discussion: Mon: Parenting; Tues: Open Forum; Wed: NFP; Thu: Marriage; Fri: Education; Sat/Sun: Changing Roles)
This is the Open Forum Coffee Talk. That means ... anything goes. Ask a question, make a suggestion, share a story, offer some advice -- the floor is yours!
Has anyone ever dealt with Vertigo? I had a pretty horrible day where the room was spinning clockwise, I couldn't walk without a bit of help, and I couldn't keep anything down but weak mint tea...I feel a teeny bit better now, but I am so worried it will come back...I Googled it, of course, but you know how "Dr Google" is--I have a brain tumor or worse..so I quit reading that. I just sobbed yesterday because I feel like my life is over--how can I help my kids or drive or just function? any advice or cures would be most appreciated!
My mother had symptoms just like you're describing when I was in my teens. It turned out she had an inner ear infection. She said the prescription drugs for seasickness worked the best, but the over-the-counter ones were OK.
Hi Katie - I feel your pain! I have had vertigo in the past (not while I had kids, but when I was in school trying to write papers and exams at mid-term time). I would suggest seeing your doctor for sure, and if possible getting a referral to an Otolaryngologist (ENT) - the ENT can give you more diagnostic information, and depending on the cause of the vertigo, may be able to offer you relief from the spinning too. Apparently once you've experienced it once, it's more likely to come back (it has for me, only a couple of times in 9 years, and always less severe), so it's always nice to get the medical opinions now and have the reassurance about what's going on. In terms of symptom management, anti-nausea medication was my best friend when I had vertigo - it can make you sleepy, but it definitely helped me to function better! Staying away from caffeine and alcohol are also good strategies - the caffeine and alcohol can increase your perception of the spinning and make things seem worse. Good luck! You're in my prayers.
I would second the option of going to see a doctor. I am a doctor and I can tell you the vast majority of the time (somewhere over 98 percent probably) in relatively young healthy people it is benign positional vertigo which is easily treated with some positioning exercises that you do yourself sitting on the side of the bed. RARELY do you ever need an MRI (I have seen 2 ordered for vertigo in 15 years of practice). It does often seem much worse then it really is . . . especially when you have the symptoms!
Thank you for such kind replies! I did see my doctor for a couple of minutes {they squeezed me in} and also got a neck adjustment with my chiro---I had snapped it out of place when I leapt out of bed..I still feel really "woozy" today and had a "dizzy spell" when I started to sit up in bed this morning, even though I really took my time, and stretched carefully and sat up slowly. Lisa, I would be most interested in those positioning exercises--as my doctor didn't have a lot of time to explain it. I really appreciate the prayers and words of comfort...thank you I don't usually respond to "unknowns" but I don't touch aspartame or diet anything---soda is pretty awful health-wise anyway so that isn't it. Plus, are MRI 's safe? I don't know...
Katie, another possibility is Meniere's disease, a malfunction of the inner ear that can flare up from time to time --often with stress, though not necessarily. Diet can help and it's NOT life-threatening, though the dizzy spells are debilitating during flare-ups. My husband has it and since it was diagnosed several of our friends turn out to have it as well. Ask your doctor.
Sorry Mrs. Teti if I took more than my fair share of time to complain
I read what Pope Francis said, and he made some very good points. In this talk and others I think it's good to bear small problems without complaining ALL THE TIME, but sometimes it's important to feel like I'm not alone, so I do ask for help. I do think the face of Christianity may *look* whiny, but I honestly feel it's partly due to all of the challenges, media bias, murderer-in-chief in the white house, etc. It's hard to be holy, right? {grin} I have had friends/acquaintances who complain a lot about everything---I call them "energy pirates" because it's exhausting to be around them and try to give a positive response to their "Eeyore" way of life!
MRIs are totally safe. My son has had a couple. Absolutely zero radiation, etc.
Katie: No apologies necessary. You weren't complaining...simply sharing a struggle & seeking advice. I have a neighbor who used the positioning maneuvers & they were a lifesaver for her. Praying that you can find the relief & help that you need!
Katie: I meant to add…what my neighbor used was Epley maneuver (or repositioning maneuver) to treat her Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV). I believe she saw a PT who was trained in the Epley maneuver. God bless!
AAArrrgghhh! I just spent my morning wrestling with bunk beds. I would so love to have sheets, bkankets and comforters that are made for bunk beds with fitted bottom parts to make it easier to tuck in and not have stuff hanging everywhere. I guess I'll just have to learn to make bottom fitted top sheets and blankets. It would be nice if they were "skinnier" too so that so much stuff doesn;t hang over!! Especially the comforter. Ok - frustration out!! Phew!
One word Nadine: Ikea. They have them Target does too.
Oh, gosh, Katie, I hope you're joking. I was bringing up another topic, not in any way commenting on the aforegoing conversation. You were looking for advice, and that is not the same thing as whining!
Rebecca T: Thanks for that great link to the Holy Father's talk on Christian endurance & Christ's peace! I'm going to share 2 of my favorite quotes from some of the early Church Fathers on that very topic in hopes of inspiring others in the way that they have inspired me... ST. ISAAC THE SYRIAN: "Affliction, if not accompanied by patience, produces double torment, for a man's patience casts off his distress, while faintness of heart is the mother of anguish. Patience is the mother of consolation and is a certain strength which is usually born of largeness of heart. It is hard for a man to find this strength in his tribulations without a gift from God, received through his ardent pursuit of prayer and the outpouring of his tears." ST. CYRIL OF JERUSALEM: "Oftentimes a man for Christ's sake has been outraged and dishonored unjustly; martyrdom is at hand; tortures on every side, and fire, and sword, and savage beasts, and the pit. But the Holy Spirit softly whispers to him, 'Wait on the Lord, O man; what is now befalling you is a small matter, the reward will be great. Suffer a little while, and you shall be with angels forever. "The sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us" (Romans 8:18).' He portrays to the man the kingdom of heaven; He gives him a glimpse of the paradise of delight; and the martyrs, whose bodily faces are of necessity turned to their judges, but who in spirit are already in Paradise, despise those hardships which are seen."
Thanks, Patricia. Love this line: "faintness of heart is the mother of anguish."
I have 2 1/2 year old twins at home and my husband and I have made the decision to keep them at home (no MDO or daycare). It seems that all of my friends are sending their kids to MDO so I am feeling a little more isolated. In addition to that, they seem bored if we stay at home all day (and admittedly, I'm bored) I really think they are too young for classes. They mom's group at my church is almost nonexistent. What do you all do?
JM- What does MDO stand for? My son is only a little older than your two. He's by himself so doesn't always have someone to play with. We go to the playground most of the days. When we're inside he plays with legos, puzzle, action figures, pretend plays, paints,read books, helps with cooking, etc. He doesn't seem bored. We go on a couple playdates and to a church group and a library class. During the summer, we'll go to the beach a few times a week, trips to zoos, berry picking, etc. Maybe you can reach out to other moms in to find more kids that are at home and also start something with your church.
I agree with anonymouse. If you don't want to do Moms Day Out or other childcare (we don't do them either), you still have to figure out ways to leave the house, or you'll go insane. I agree that they're too young for a class without you, but lots of places have Mommy and Me type classes. Have you looked into Gymboree or your local parks and rec? We've done library storytime since my kids were babies. It's very low key, so if someone's misbehaving you can just leave or walk around the library or something. What about indoor playgrounds? We tend not to do playgrounds associated with restaurants much (because I don't like tying playtime with fast food), but there are a couple of local community centers here that have free indoor playgrounds. Parks are great, of course, too. As for moms' groups, our church moms' was started by a mom of twins in your situation. She just talked to the parish and asked if it was ok to put an ad in the bulletin. We've been meeting for about 1.5 years now, and it was slow at first, but now we have about 3-4 families at every get together, and about 8 or 9 on our list. Since you have twins, you really only need a couple of more kids to get a good sized playgroup, and it's a good way to meet like-minded moms who likely share your values. Good luck!
JM, my son is older than your twins (he's 5.5), but I feel your pain! The pool of SAHMs is so limited, and in my area it seems like the few SAHMs that are around send their kids to all kinds of summer camps and programs. Because my son is older, he will do a couple of weeks of part-time summer camp (it's run by his preschool teacher at her home a few mornings/week). In addition to that, we do a lot of playgrounds and library activities. We try to schedule playdates at least twice/week, but it takes a lot of effort. Thankfully, my son isn't prone to boredom, particularly in the summer. He's very happy to go to playgrounds, run errands with me, play in the yard, etc. I do try to plan at least one outing/day, even if that outing is an errand.
Hi Rebecca--I was *kind of* kidding and kind of not--it was an abrupt change of topic--which Tuesday is all about and wasn't myself yesterday so I suppose it just *hit* me wrong...I guess I was afraid that I had taken up the whole forum and was very humbled and thankful for the wave of helpful comments and prayers from this awesome group of prayer warriors! Thanks to Danielle for the link to that stretch---it helped quite a bit...I will keep learning about this and pray for all who have this!
Katie--The Epley manuever is one of the ones I was talking about--I think it is a little hard to do in most houses. The one I have my patient's do is sit on the side of the bed, look up as if you were looking at the face of a 6 foot tall person standing about 6 feet in front of you. Stay still until you are not dizzy. Once you are not dizzy lean all the way to the right until your body is lying on its side on the bed--still looking as if you were looking at the same person. Stay there until you are no longer dizzy. Then go back upright, repeat procedure in sitting position then, again when not dizzy, do the same thing but go to the left. Continue this until you are no longer dizzy with movement. Do not go longer then about 30 minutes. You can do this whenever the dizziness comes back. Often it only takes one set of exercises. But realize people who get BPPV tend to get it . . . so it may be 1 year, it may be ten years but it is probably going to come back but the exercises tend to work. Meclazine (the oral medication) works too but it justs masks the symptoms, does not resolve them and thus can prolong the vertigo. Epley's work as well---see You Tube for many examples. If your doctor agreed that you have benign paroxysmal positional vertigo and this doesn't work ask for a PT consult and have the physical therapist teach you some other maneuvers. This is only if your doc says you have this (ie so I am not practicing medicine over the internet having never met you LOL!)
I have a 1.5 year old and a 3.5 year old at home. We have a park day, a doughnut shop day, a play-in-the-backyard day, and a YMCA day (use their pool, etc.) Basically, I plan one event for each day. That usually takes us up to nap time, and then after nap time we either play in the house or do some shopping, more backyard play, a craft, etc. This takes hard work to plan!! But it is worth it because everyone's mood (including mine!) is better all day! I've also joined a moms group through meetup.com and met some other moms... although I agree that most of the kids are in programs or mothers day out stuff and aren't available real often (it also means a lot of the moms dont have similar situations to me because they either get big breaks from their kids or have jobs - which just puts them in a different frame of mind!) Anyways, hope that helps!
Nadine, Yes, those bunks are frustrating! One trick I learned from my MIL was to buy the appropriate size fitted sheet (Twin) and buy everything else a bit bigger (either Full or Queen). That gives extra room to tuck farther under the mattress. Makes it more challenging to get off, but so worth it to not have to wrestle with a mess every day.

Is the following grammatically correct?
This is correct, as for one references back to ideas. See here:
Additionally, as I commented on the question, it would be
"I had mainly been" is fine, in the context you're using it. I might question whether or not the "mainly" adds any useful information.
However, in the first sentence, instead of "had" I would use "has". The introduction has, in the present, made you rethink previously held ideas. Saying "The introduction had made me rethink" seems to indicate you're saying something about a change of mind in the past. That may be what you meant, in which case I suggest taking out the "had" altogether -- "the introduction made me rethink".
The third "had" in those two sentences is OK, I think. However, I'd suggest removing the "on to", i.e. "rethink many previous ideas that I had held in previous assigned projects". Also, when you're saying that you are rethinking ideas, the context indicates that they are no longer ideas you hold now. So, you can remove the first "previous". "... rethink many ideas I had held in previous assigned projects."
I would remove the first "had" - you mean to imply that you were using Illustrator until the introduction of the assignment, so using had in both cases fails to grammatically convey that point.

Can't agree with you more amsdorf !! I've had sevevral different ones and after "cherry picking" I have 3 keepers that shoot great,and are tack drivers! For the buck ,,, they can't be beat,,, period,,, and one fine rifle in there own right, at any price. Nothing fancy,,, but some really shoot awsome. Mine sure do.
I beleve they will go the way of the Mausers someday so hang on to those pristine matching # tack drivers, they just might surprise you in 20 years. They won't be 100 bucks for long, I'm thinking. Remember the Mausers in Popular Mechanics for $19.95 deliverd??? I do, and I still have some of those and they sure aren't that price now, even,, IF,,, you could find a pristine one nowdays!! Unfortunatly.
Mausers for $20....???
Unfortunately nothing stays the same for very long, remember in the 80's when you could get SKS rifles for $89.00 to $100.00 each now there in the $300.00 range, buy those Mosin
Nagants now and I'll guarantee a better than the .35% your making on your savings account. Remember to stock up on ammo to!!
YA ,,,,,$20 bucks,,,,,, at the door,,,,,, for a matching # ,ex condition Mauser was the norm in the 60's and early 70's,,, seriously. And all with no FFL or C+R license,,, just a call and a check,,, done! Gone are the days!!
Wanna really cry???? 1, 900 rnd case of 8mm Mauser surplus ammo on strippers,,, ya ready for this,,,,,,< 25 bucks at the door!!!! I just got one 2-3 weeks ago,,, 278 shipped,,,, OUCH,,,,, and it was HELL TO PAY just to find it besides!!
Yup frogman, ex condition to unissued Russian SKS's for 99 bucks delivered from Century, I bought a ton of them, wished I'd kept some in reserve now!!!
All you younger guys might want to scrounge a few spare bucks to get your hands on some reasionable(?????) priced guns while there avalible!! Wish I had, well I did,,,, but sold them to soon! I haven't even seen a Russian one for sale in quite some time. Don't have a clue what there fetching now??
If you mean an SKS, I think $450-500 is about normal now.Quote:
I haven't even seen a Russian one for sale in quite some time
Yeah in the early to mid 2000's a Yugo SKS was $90-120
I like the Mosin, they are cheap and most are good shooters, even though the over all quality isn't that great. I got 18 or 19 of them, some 91/30, M44, M38, a couple Chinese M44 style, a Polish M44 and a Fin.
Shit,,,, I Really wished I hung on to some Russian SKS's now Coils. 300% profit margin in <10 years is real good, in anybodys book. Wished I'd kept some Mausers too. Oh well ,, live & learn.
I beleive it was Century, late eighties-P14 or P17 Enfields, your choice of manufacturer, $89 bucks. VZ24 mausers,dark bores-$60 bucks. Go back to mid- 70's, I was about 12 yr old, we were in a k-mart in Monroe, LA, wire bins full of mausers, $15 bucks ea. Dad didnt think we could get ammo for them so he passed. Back to mid-sixties- Dad was in outside sales for a grocery warehouse. His boss handed him a crate with about 20-30 pistols in it. "See if u can get 35-45 bucks apeice for these". The crate contained nice condition Swiss Lugers! BTW, he wasnt able to sell even one, as no one in south east Arkansas had even heard of the caliber. Check the prices on Swiss lugers, youll be shocked.
Mid 1960's, @ Century original Waffien p-38's, not P-1's as they were current issue at that time,,, almost pristiene all w/accys ,,,,,,$27.00!!!!!!!!. Thats where I bought 2 match garands in 69, one still in the sealed crate, for 175 for the opened one, which was new too, just opened and no crate and 200 for the sealed one!!!!! Lets see now,,,,, where shall,,, we start the bidding on that still sealed one??????:wow: Lead seal intact!!!
Have a super good friend in NH and his house used to be and old bank, and it's in his vault. I couldn't find a safe big enough to put the crate in!!! Well,, one that I could afford anyways!! Safe place for it.
There were some great buys back in the days...
It would be funny if 20 or 30 years from now folks were boasting about the deals today!

There are a ton of great entertainment options this week, from rock 'n' roll legends to underground films. We'll clue you in to some more later in the week, but here are a few that might need a little preemptive planning on your part to take full advantage.
Ringo Starr and His All-Starr Band, USANA Amphitheatre, Wednesday, 8 p.m., $20–$58
First things first: Clearly Ringo Starr has a looser definition of a musical "All-Star" than the rest of us. This year's version of Starr's touring band includes ex-Santana and Journey member Gregg Rolie, former Toto guy Steve Lukather and Richard Page, singer for the oh-so-forgettable Mr. Mister. I can only assume the rest of the guys from Wang Chung were too busy to join the party. That said, we are still talking about the chance to see a Beatle do his thing live, drumming along to his fellow band members' hits and singing a few of his own, like "It Don't Come Easy" and "Little Help From My Friends." And with $20 lawn tickets available, the price is certainly right.
Underground Gypsy Cabaret/Juana Ghani CD release party, Bar Deluxe, Friday, 9 p.m., $7
Having established a vibrant community of musicians, writers, dancers and other artists, local band Juana Ghani now has a brand-spanking-new CD of its distinct, gypsy-influenced sound so fans can appreciate the musical chops and lyrical complexities of Juana Ghani's members outside the sphere of their wild live shows. Shall We Live Forever manages to incorporate sounds from around the world in its nine songs, and you can hear them live when the band takes part in the Underground Gypsy Cabaret on Friday, which is also serving as the CD release party. Also on the bill is South of Ramona, a preview performance of the Black Box Belly Dance Affair and a slew of special guests.
Damn These Heels LGBT Film Festival, Rose Wagner Performing Arts Center, Friday–Sunday, various times, $4 per film
The Intermountain West's only LGBT film festival, the Utah Film Center's Damn These Heels fest is bringing no less than 11 films to town, all of them running through the weekend at the Rose Wagner. The one that caught my eye is Wish Me Away, a documentary about mainstream country singer Chely Wright's brave decision to risk losing her audience, and the support of her family, when she came out in a well-received autobiography. The film earned the Best Documentary award at the Los Angeles Film Festival and Palm Springs International Film Festival, among a slew of other awards at festivals around the country. Wish Me Away plays Saturday at 12:30 p.m., and that's just one of the strong choices available for this year's Damn These Heels.

FDA Waives Three Conflicted Docs onto EPO Safety Panel
The Food and Drug Administration revealed late last week that three physicians participating in the September 11 advisory committee meeting that will evaluate the safety of red blood cell stimulating agents used in dialysis have financial conflicts of interest. A joint meeting of the Cardiovascular and Renal Drugs and Drug Safety advisory committees will review new clinical trial data that led the FDA last March to slap a black box warning on Amgen's Aranesp and Epogen and Johnson & Johnson's Procrit, known collectively as EPO. The trials, reviewed in this Journal of the American Medical Association editorial, showed excessive EPO use increases the risk of heart attack, stroke and premature death.
After the FDA issued its warning, the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services, which pays for most dialysis patients in the U.S., instituted a monitoring and payment policy that will cut EPO use. Amgen, whose stock price fell 25 percent since March, spent over $9 million on lobbyists in the first half of 2007 - nearly as much as it spent in all of 2006. The National Kidney Foundation's anemia management committee, the president of the Renal Physicians Association, and the American Association of Kidney Patients - which all have extensive financial ties to Amgen or J&J - have issued guidelines and lobbied for measures that could lead to EPO use at or above the maximum level suggested on the FDA label. A provision in the House version of the Children's Health Insurance Program bill would grant $300 million in incentive payments to dialysis clinics over the next three years if they maintained relatively high levels of EPO use. A provision in the House version of the Prescription Drug User Fee Act renewal would limit conflicts of interest to one per committee.
Voluntary Industry-Government Toxics Testing Program Falls Short
The chemical industry fell far short of its promise to produce data on the toxic properties of widely-used chemicals, a new report from Environmental Defense showed. The Environmental Protection Agency established the voluntary testing program in 1998 in collaboration with the American Chemistry Council and Environmental Defense. The idea was to generate voluntary data disclosure for regulatory actions under the federal Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) since the law limited the EPA's ability to demand hazards data to just 200 of the 80,000 chemicals on the TSCA inventory list. The industry's self-imposed deadline for producing toxics data for an additional 2,200 chemicals on the inventory was 2004. To date, industry has produced data for less than half that number. The U.S. lags far behind the regulatory toxics testing programs in the European Union and Canada.
Psychiatrists Lead Buck-raking Pack in Minnesota
Drug manufacturers paid Minnesota physicians over $73 million between 2002 and 2006 with psychiatrists receiving over 10 percent of the payouts, more than twice any other specialty, a new report shows. Minnesota requires drug companies disclose their payments to doctors, which often involves their speaking at sessions promoting the companies' drugs. An analysis of the latest data by the St. Paul Pioneer Press showed that disclosure has failed to stem the tide of industry grants. Psychiatrists, for instance, collected $2.1 million in 2006, a 50 percent jump over the year before. Eli Lilly, whose best-selling drug is the atypical anti-psychotic Zyprexa, led the pack among corporate donors with over $11 million in payouts over the five-year period. One psychiatrist, John Simon, who sits on the state's Medicaid formulary committee, received $570,000, most of that from Eli Lilly, according to the report. "Most of the psychiatrists who are really good have ties to industry," Simon told the paper.
NIH Director Charged with Bungling Schwartz Ethics Probe
Senator Chuck Grassley (R-IA) last week charged National Institutes of Health Director Elias Zerhouni with failing to investigate charges of misconduct by National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences director David Schwartz. Schwartz recently stepped down from the director's post amid charges that he testified in asbestos cases while director; acquired government computers for his family's personal use; and inappropriately made staffing decisions involving Duke University, his former employer. Grassley's letter charged that the investigation conducted by the NIH's Office of Management Assessment has "missed and/or ignored" extensive evidence of misconduct uncovered by Grassley's investigation, and accused Zerhouni of inadequate responsiveness to ongoing requests for information.
Meanwhile, Representative Henry Waxman (D-CA) told the head of the National Toxicology Program (NTP) at NIEHS that its internal study of conflicts of interest among contractors is invalid because it was based on the contractors' own self-assessments. "The working group's reliance on contractor reports is a questionable way to assess conflicts of interest," the letter charged. The internal review was prompted by revelations in March that NTP's review of the carcinogenic compound bisphenol A had been run by a consulting firm with financial ties to the company that makes the chemical.
Science Invoked to Justify Continued Whale Kills
Iceland's recent decision to suspended commercial whaling because of falling demand has not ended that nation's ongoing slaughter of endangered whales for "scientific research." The research whaling takes place under an exemption in the 1986 International Whaling Commission ban on commercial whaling. However, Iceland's whaling fleet intends to capture and kill the last 6 of the 200 whales allowed under the research exemption even though the meat is piling up in warehouses. Whaling, whether for research or commercial purposes, still exists to meet demand for the meat in Japan. But Japanese whale consumption has declined in recent years due to consumer fears about toxic chemicals building up at the top of the ocean food chain.
Odds and Ends
The Center for Biological Diversity said it will sue the Department of the Interior for systematically ignoring agency scientists while making 55 endangered species decisions under the leadership of Julie MacDonald, who resigned April 30 following an Inspector General report charging her with leaking sensitive documents to industry lobbyists, browbeating U.S. Fish and Wildlife scientists, and illegally overturning scientific recommendations in order to squelch protections for endangered species. . . A Dutch primatologist faces jail time in Brazil for keeping orphaned monkeys at his Amazonian sanctuary without the proper permits; scientists and activists speculate that his arrest was prompted by bribes from the timber and soy industries due to the scientist's outspoken efforts to protect the Amazon rainforest.

The Man
"Quality is not only obtainable, but essential" - Dr. W. Edwards Deming
Time and again, Ricoh is recognized for its achievements in the areas of air and
water pollution, ozone layer depletion, global warming, and toxic waste. In particular,
Ricoh has been acknowledged by the U.S. EPA for its pivotal contributions to the
success of the Energy Star program.
Deming was born on October 14, 1900 in Sioux City Iowa. After studying engineering
at the University of Wyoming, he earned a Masters Degree in mathematics and physics
from the University of Colorado, and was awarded a doctorate in physics from Yale
in 1928.
Deming developed his philosophy of using statistics to control manufacturing while
working at AT&T's Hawthorne manufacturing plant in Chicago. After World War II,
as the Census Bureau's chief mathematician, Deming developed sampling techniques
that drastically narrowed the margin of error.
He first went to Japan in 1947 to help with the country's census. The Japan Union
of Scientists and Engineers (JUSE) became keenly interested in Deming's statistical
methods. At the time, the Japanese product reputation was terrible. Within four
years of employing Deming's methods, The Japanese industry had made a complete turnaround,
and was well on the road to producing the outstanding products available today.
In this country, several major organizations, including Ford, Pontiac and the U.S.
Navy have thrived by implementing Deming's methods.
Deming lived and worked out of a modest Washington, D.C. home. So obsessed was Deming
with eliminating waste, one of his daughters recalled he dated his eggs with a felt
tip pen so that the oldest would be eaten first. He conducted his intensive four-day
business seminars right up until less than two weeks before his death in December
1993, at the age of 93.

The supervisor that wishes to employ you will contact you once they have completed their interviews. Once you have been hired, complete the employment application. Your hiring supervisor will need to email Karen Roland and request you, the student, by first and last name, ID number, and email address. Human Resources will initiate the background check process through Certified Background. Certified Background will send an evite to the student's email. The student should promptly complete the evite request. Human Resources will receive the results of the background check in approximately 3 days, and they will notify Mrs. Roland of the results. Mrs. Roland will notify your supervisor that you, the student, may begin your paperwork for employment. The supervisor will then direct you to the Financial Aid Office (University Center, Room 212) to complete paperwork for payroll (please bring your social security card and valid driver's license) for documentation. Work-Study Payroll Information Web time entry time sheets are available online once your paperwork has been completed for hire. The Financial Aid Office will provide information on submission. Receiving a Paycheck Two options are available for check distribution. Checks may be directly deposited into the student's checking or any bank or credit union savings account located within the Continental United States that is a member of the automated clearinghouse, or students may pick-up their checks in the Payroll Office (151 Shelby King Hall) on pay day with a valid photo ID. Work-study students are paid bi-weekly.

Custom-made orthotics can set you back hundreds of dollars, but unless you have a major structural deformity such as collapsed arches, you can probably get away with a good premade pair. Those available in the drugstore tend to offer cushioning but not enough support; you can often find better options at a sporting-goods store or your doctor's office for about $50.
Mark Berkowitz, MD, an orthopedic surgeon at the Cleveland Clinic, says patients are often better at choosing orthotics than their doctors are. Try on several pairs to see which feels best—often the surest test of efficacy. "The inserts should have a degree of stiff support combined with comfort," Berkowitz says.
For most problems, New York City podiatrist Johanna Youner recommends the Superfeet brand, which fits easily into women's shoes, and the Powerstep brand if you have heel pain.
One problem with over-the-counter orthotics is that they can be hard to fit into dress shoes. If that's the case, custom-made models can be sized to fit many kinds of shoes, says Bob Baravarian, DPM, of the University of California, Los Angeles.

Obama wastes money
Published: Tuesday, April 2, 2013 at 12:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Monday, April 1, 2013 at 4:42 p.m.
Editor: The sequester will cut $85 billion in America's debt but only $44 billion in 2013. $44 billion is less money than our government borrows every two weeks. Does Obama try to use scare tactics to stop these cuts and raise revenue, which would be another tax increase? Over 1,000 felon illegal immigrants were released Feb. 26 before the sequester became official.
I've receive an e-mail from the White House telling me how the sequester will cause about 750,000 people to be unemployed. It speaks of cutting funding of Medicare, education programs, leaving elderly people without medication, and America to eat food that's not been inspected.
Whitehouse.gov tells you the effects of the sequester on each state, but this is just $85 billion in cuts in two years. Republicans gave Obama the ability to make the cuts that he felt would hurt America the least March 1, but Obama turned this responsibility away. America saw how Obama and Democrats screamed that the sky's falling over $85 billion in spending cuts.
Billions of our tax dollars are sent unto terrorist nations yearly. Millions are wasted in Obama's solar stimulus plans, because about every one of them are bankrupt today. Millions are wasted in needless tests like robotic squirrels. Are robotic squirrels more important than helping America?
Obama promised that the sequester will hurt many Americans. Obama shows wasteful spending is more important than America's economy. Why can Obama support wasteful spending but talks about cutting jobs and entitlements when he's asked to cut spending?
Obama promised in November 2011 to veto any bill that would stop the sequester. Why would Obama want to push the sequester through, but then blame Republicans for everything? Many have gotten tired of hearing Obama blame Bush for America's problems. Will Obama now blame the sequester for all of America's problems? Several generals and military leaders have testified that Obama has already taken over $500 billion out of America's defense department during his first four years. Why's Obama yelling about cutting $85 billion in wasteful spending?
I believe Obama's a campaign president, because Obama's been campaigning all during his presidency to get more Democrats elected into office but has done nothing to help America. Whitehouse.gov states Obama's plan will cut $4 trillion in America's debt, but Obama's plan has added over $6 trillion unto America's debt, and America's not had a budget in four years. Should America trust a president who makes promises but delivers more debt? Economists predict that America will be over $22 trillion in debt before 2016, if we continue on this same path.
Would Obama cut his and Congress' salary to help pay for this $85 billion spending cut? Is America on the same path as Greece and Europe, as Obama tells America to trust him?

ZF-3027: Add an Coding Standard Testbed
We/I are actually adding a testbed which is testing the coding standard with PHP_CodeSniffer. The reports can be used to fix problems on the coding standard.
Tests can be added for all possible purposes like File Endings, Namings, API Docs, Clauses and much much more.
Details can be found in the wiki within the Zend Coding Standard (RC).
I attached the actual result of codig standard errors in core and incubator.
Actually only 4 tests have been integrated: * No Windows Lineending * No closing Tag * expected linelength 100 chars, maximum linelength 120 chars * No Tabs
I will add other tests related to ZF Coding Standard and present the actual results for the core within here. Please keep in mind that any change made in core has to be merged into branch !!
Added new coding standard violation file.
A Description of executed tests can be found here: http://framework.zend.com/wiki/display/…
The actual testbed contains more than 80 different tests related to the new coding standard.
It is based in PHP_CodeSniffer 1.1.0.a but not errorfree for now. The actual results can be found in the attached codingstadard.zip file.
We are not allowed to add a coding standard testbed without writing a proposal even if I was said in past that I don't need it.
I had to delete my existing work from incubator as wished by the Zend Dev-Team.
Feel free to download the non-finished version from my blog in a few days.

ZF-5046: Invalid use of "soap-enc" namespace in Zend_Soap_Wsdl_Strategy_ArrayOfTypeComplex
We had problems using wsdl definition created by Zend_Soap_AutoDiscover and Zend_Soap_Wsdl_Strategy_ArrayOfTypeComplex. So we searched for the problem and wondered, why the strategy (method: _addArrayOfComplexType) uses "soapenc" instead of "soap-enc". There is no namespace definition for "soapenc". After changing it to "soap-enc" and it works fine for us.
Attached diff to fix problem.
Resolved in trunk as of r12825 and merged back into 1.7 release branch.

International Research Scholars
HHMI and partners, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, the Wellcome Trust, and the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation, have established an international program to select up to 50 outstanding early career scientists. The program's aim is to help develop scientific talent worldwide. In a new international competition, HHMI and its partners are seeking top early career researchers from a wide variety of biomedical research fields. Applications are due by June 30, 2016. For more information, please visit the application site.
International Early Career Scientists
Twenty-eight international early career scientists are establishing independent research programs in 12 countries with HHMI support. The scientists, selected because they are or have the potential to become scientific leaders, receive $650,000 over five years and become a part of the HHMI community. At the time of their selection in 2012, the initial group of international early career scientists had led their own laboratories for less than seven years.
Senior International Research Scholars
Thirteen HHMI senior international research scholars lead labs in seven countries worldwide. The scholars, scientific leaders who were selected among applicants who had been funded through previous HHMI international programs, received five-year, $500,000 awards in 2012.
The KwaZulu-Natal Research Institute for Tuberculosis and HIV (K-RITH)
The KwaZulu-Natal Research Institute for Tuberculosis and HIV (K-RITH) in Durban, South Africa, is a groundbreaking collaboration between HHMI and the University of KwaZulu-Natal. K-RITH's mission is to conduct outstanding basic science research on tuberculosis and HIV, translate the scientific findings into new tools to control both diseases, and expand the educational opportunities in the region.

Teenagers from the streets of Washington Heights grabbed first through sixth prizes in La Plaza Beacon's Reading for Success Contest. Designed to develop students' reading comprehension and expand their futures, the prizes tantalized more than a dozen participants, spurring students in this low-income neighborhood to score well on the annual New York State English Language Arts (ELA) exam.
For weeks, participants completed their homework at La Plaza Beacon, part of Catholic Charities' Alianza Division.
Contest participants then broke into teams of three or four to complete reading and comprehension quizzes and perfect their skills writing essays.
The winner not only scored a top grade on the ELA exam but a restaurant dinner as well. Second-through-sixth place winners celebrated with a pizza party.
La Plaza Beacon teens are now readying for a math contest to prepare them for the upcoming New York State Mathematics Exam later this month.
La Plaza Beacon provides a safe, supervised after-school setting for neighborhood youth. Along with tutoring and homework help, it also offers cultural activities, arts and recreation.

La Monnaie ¦ Opera ¦ La Clemenza di Tito ¦ Intro
La Clemenza di Tito
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
Rome, 79 AD. The emperor Tito narrowly escapes the attack his best friend Sesto has plotted against him under pressure from his beloved Vitellia. Tito is faced with the heartrending choice of following his feelings and granting his friend clemency, or following his reason and condemning him. In La Clemenza di Tito Mozart returned to opera seria just a few months before his death. He had not worked in this genre since Idomeneo. For a long time this work, quite unjustifiably, remained in the shadow of his other great masterpieces, despite the fact that much of the music he wrote for this work is among the best in his oeuvre. Having previously staged Idomeneo, Ivo van Hove, now together with Ludovic Morlot, is presenting a new interpretation that will undoubtedly do full justice to the everlasting topicality, powerful drama and musical splendour of this mixture of friendship and revenge, passion and politics.

The sun-protection properties of a woven or knit fabric are dependent upon the transmission, absorption and reflection of UV radiation. The fiber type, dye, construction and finishes determine these characteristics. Our UPF-rated garments offer very good UV protection from prolonged exposure to the sun.
VaporWick® is a moisture-management technology of The North Face® that allows perspiration to wick and move from the skin to the outer surface of the fabric where it can readily evaporate. The evaporation process is accomplished through the use of specifically engineered, high-performance fibers; yarn types; fabric constructions; and finishes. The removal of moisture helps keep the wearer cool, comfortable, and dry during aerobic activity.

- Meto Leach, biologist, member of Maori
- communities at the Biodiversity, Biotechnology,
- and Traditional Knowledge Conference.
Every year Washington University School of Law hosts exciting IP conferences; the following are examples:
- The United Nations Industrial Development Organization;
- Einstein Institute for Science, Health, and the Courts;
- Washington University School of Law; and the Missouri Botanical Garden together hosted a preparatory workshop for the Global Biotechnology Forum: Working Party on Conflict Resolution Initiatives for Biotechnology Disputes and Controversies in Fall 2003.
The United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO)'s Global Biotechnology Forum (GBF) convened in Concepción, Chile, March 2-5, 2004. The October 12-14, 2003 workshop was held in preparation for the GBF. The missions of the Working Party on Biotechnology Conflict Resolution meeting were to design and carry out several GBF workshops and resulting initiatives, including:
- Orienting prominent judges with respect to the scientific foundation of biodiversity, biosafety, and related biotechnology;
- Orienting prominent scientists with respect to conflict resolution mechanisms and their impending roles in dispute resolution;
- Previewing workshops to be conducted at the GBF in March 2004; and
- Previewing an International Science and Technology Reference Forum that will be implemented over the course of the next year.
The Conference on Biodiversity, Biotechnology, and the Protection of Traditional Knowledge was held in Spring 2003. This cutting-edge conference gathered leading biological scientists, social scientists, legal scholars, and other academics; national and international governmental officials; and representatives of nongovernmental organizations and indigenous communities, as well as representatives from private law practice and the private business sector to discuss:
- The protection of biodiversity and the problem of worldwide biodiversity loss;
- The protection and regulation of agricultural and plant biotechnology and the impact of agricultural and plant biotechnology on biodiversity loss; and
- The international intellectual property implications of both of the foregoing, particularly as they relate to the protection of traditional medicinal and agricultural knowledge and the development of intellectual property and related legal mechanisms of interest and relevance to the developing world.
The School of Law hosted a Typeface Panel discussion in connection with the opening of the exhibit,"Typographically Speaking: The Art of Matthew Carter." focused on the status of typeface design protection in the United States and elsewhere. Carter recently redesigned the typeface for the New York Times.
The 2001 Patenting Genetic Products Colloquium was held in conjunction with the Washington University School of Law and School of Medicine's yearlong series of events on the Human Genome Project: Expanding the Conversation. The series brought together international jurists, scientists, political and social theorists, attorneys, professors, historians, and philosophers to discuss legal, ethical, social, and regulatory issues stemming from genetics research. The colloquium focused on patents for genetic products, including research tools and processes widely used in academia and industry.
On October 7-8 the law schools at Washington University and Saint Louis University co-hosted the Works-in-Progress Intellectual Property Colloquium 2005.
"The colloquium offers an opportunity for intellectual property scholars to present their works-in-progress and get early feedback from their colleagues," says Associate Professor Scott Kieff, who co-organized the conference with Mark McKenna, an assistant professor at Saint Louis University.
The Commercializing Innovation Conference held November 4-5, 2005, brought together leading thinkers in diverse fields to develop modern tools and strategies for improving the complex process of innovation commercialization, with a focus on both domestic and international implications. While each of the general topics of transaction costs, agency costs, and coordination problems has spawned large bodies of literature, little attention has been paid to their combined impact on the process of bringing the fruits of new ideas to market. One group of project contributors looked at the ways a large business or university can provide incentives for its creative employees to bring new ideas to the attention of organizational leaders. Another group focused on the ways outside development and marketing entities can reach across the so-called "valley of death" to team with those on the creative side. A third group addressed the financing and corporate control problems facing innovation commercialization. The overall theme of this project was that law, contracts, and organizations can complement each other to overcome barriers that otherwise prevent innovation from coming to market. At its most general level, the project considered the tradeoffs among different legal and nonlegal institutions as means for ensuring that innovation is commercialized.
"I believe that the IP/TL LL.M. at Washington University School of Law was instrumental in obtaining my dream job. It allowed me to hone my legal skills by providing a wide range of IP-related practical skills courses and exposing me to a wide range of experienced practicing attorneys." Adam Brown interned with the University's Office of Technology Management and now works at Thompson Coburn, LLP. Adam Brown, IP/TL LL.M.'04, U.S.A.
"I was looking for an IP LL.M. program with a strong reputation and Washington University's customized curriculum let me pursue a wide variety of subjects and interests. My goal is to work for an international IP firm, so I prepared for that by taking courses such as copyrights, patents, and entertainment law. I was able to turn these newly acquired skills into three practical experiences. I did a summer internship with a law firm, Blackwell Sanders Peper Martin, where I worked with great American lawyers and improved my research skills in the copyright field. I also took part in the Judicial Observation Program where I gained insight into how the federal judicial system works. In the Fall, I worked with the Volunteer Lawyers and Accountants for the Arts, an organization that provides free legal and accounting assistance to nonprofit arts groups. This was exactly the practical work I was looking for in the entertainment law field." Celine Bondard, IP/TL LL.M.'04, France
"Because of my background in music and broadcasting, I knew that I wanted to practice Intellectual Property and Entertainment Law. I also knew that I wanted to go to a top-notch law school in the Midwest. I knew from the moment I visited Washington University that it was the place for me. I felt that I would be studying in a challenging, but not cutthroat, environment. I could not have made a better decision. The core IP classes are taught by enthusiastic professors who are involved in creating national and international IP policy. The University provides opportunities outside of the classroom as well, such as IP moot court competitions and hosting national conferences that focus on new IP developments. Now I am an Intellectual Property and Entertainment attorney. I advise entrepreneurs and artists about their IP issues. I know that my experiences with Washington University's IP program gave me a distinct advantage over other schools' graduates entering the workforce."
Danica Mathes, J.D.'01 Blumenfeld, Kaplan & Sandweiss, PC.

You can use light mayo if you insist, but this is completely fabulous tasting with real mayo. For those who are South Beach fans, regular mayonnaise is considered a "limited" food on the South Beach Diet, but milk, buttermilk, and cabbage are all diet legal, so I think this isn't too bad to have once in a while.
Kalyn's Low Carb Coleslaw
(makes enough dressing for two packages of coleslaw mix)
Dressing Ingredients:
1/2 cup buttermilk
1/2 cup milk
(or use all buttermilk for a little more tang)
2 cups mayo or light mayo (do not use fat free)
3 T white wine vinegar
2 T fresh lemon juice
1 T onion powder
1 tsp. celery seed
1 tsp. Veg-Sal (or use salt)
1/3 cup Splenda (or less, to taste)
1 pkg. coleslaw mix or about 8 cups diced cabbage
1/3 cup very finely chopped onion (I use the food processor)
(I like to add a little extra carrot and red cabbage)
(Edit 7-18-07: Here is another version of coleslaw using agave nectar if you don't want to use Splenda.)
Vege-Sal is a product that combines salt with ground vegetables to make a seasoning that is great on so many foods. In my family it's traditional to use it on popcorn, but it's great on any food where you might use salt, but with less sodium and more flavor.

Many of our city's apartment dwellers and home owners with limited space have learned to work around obstacles, producing fresh foods in their own backyards and small urban lots—a great accomplishment in a state with a relatively short growing season.
And if you're looking to get on trend, come and learn to do it yourself during Wasatch Community Gardens' first Urban Garden and Farm Week, June 16–22. Events include a screening of Edible City: Grow the Revolution at Brewvies Cinema Pub, workshops on backyard chicken keeping, a food poetry slam and a reading by Utah author Gretchen Anderson from her book The Backyard Chicken Fight at The King's English Bookshop.
Jael Malenke
On Saturday June 22, enjoy the Early Bird Brunch fundraiser at Squatter's Pub, 9–11:00 a.m., featuring breakfast burritos made from locally-raised eggs and register for a self-guided tour of local urban farms and gardens. Tour hours are 10 a.m.–2:00 p.m. and feature 18 stops that make the most of their small spaces: housing small livestock, displaying vertical gardening techniques and thriving urban farms and restaurant gardens, as well as many other features.
Jonathan Krausert and his Sun Oven.
Organizers aim to show anyone can grow fresh garden edibles. "Even apartment residents have the ability to put a few containers out on a South or West facing balcony and enjoy a little bit of homegrown food," says local urban homesteader Jonathan Krausert. "If your apartment doesn't have a balcony, try connecting with a community garden in your neighborhood."
"This week offers residents the chance to connect with each other and share tips about everything: from which tomatoes taste the best in homemade salsa to how to harvest honey from a backyard beehive," says Carly Gillespie, Community Educator for Wasatch Community Gardens. She says interest in gardening and farming in urban areas of Salt Lake County continues to grow with people from all backgrounds.

Learning to Exhale
Stay calm on race day by practicing Ujjayi pranayama, a yogic breathing technique used by Olympic athletes to enhance respiratory efficiency. Ujjayi Pranayama breathing focuses the mind, helps assuage feelings of frustration, brings strength to the legs and core and lengthens the spine, say Stan Woodman and Gina Norman, owners of Kaia Yoga Complete Wellness Centers. Practice the technique below, and then try using it during walks and runs.
- Inhale and exhale through your nose, directing the breath across the back of your throat.
- Do this for five to 10 minutes, trying to match the inhale and exhale length.
- During walks/runs, inhale through your nose, then exhale slowly through a wide-open mouth.
- As you slowly exhale, feel the breath across the back of your throat, and make a drawn-out "HA" sound.
- Repeat several times.

Fits 1⁄2 pt, 1 pt, 1 qt or 2 qt wide mouth canning jars (not included). Takes less space in your refrigerator and is quicker to use. Fermenting takes about 4 days.
How it works: Air-lock lid keeps air out of jar while overflow cup catches excess brine. Water and sea salt transform contents into delicious brine pickles, which are naturally full of vitamins, minerals and probiotic cultures. After 4-10 days of fermenting, check to see if contents are sour enough to your taste. If not, add a day and re-check.

Rated 4.3 out of 5 by 9 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Stacia Love this jewelry box The carvings in the wood are gorgeous., very accurate to the image. It's a good size, in fact a little bigger than I had pictured. It opens and closes easily, the only modification I added was velvet on the tops of each drawer so that it shuts quieter and doesn't have wood hitting wood. January 6, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by CookingMama Great for coffee and tea! I use the top section for assorted tea bags, pouches of loose leaf tea, and honey sticks. The bottom two drawers fit Keurig coffee pods perfectly. It makes for an unusual and attractive way to organize our hot beverage bar. December 18, 2011
Rated 5 out of 5 by Melissa LOVE THIS JEWLERY BOX!! :) I love this jewlery box, the design is beautiful, it is unique and fits quite a lot of jewlery! I even use one of the sections to hide away some of my journals. It is very attractive and so I love to display it! My friends always compliment my on it. June 8, 2010
Rated 5 out of 5 by Tory This is the perfect box for my jewelry! This is a great product. I have been looking for a jewelry box for a month. I would buy one, get it home and realize it is not going to work. I also dont like items that are very run of the mill, I love world market and I should have known to come here first! This is so beautiful, and yes like the other reviews say its not easy to open all the time, but it is built well and I would definitely give it as a gift and buy it again! I would highly recommend this product! May 20, 2010
Rated 5 out of 5 by Lily Simply beautiful! I absolutely love this box. I got it as I gift.I use it to keep my collection of jewelry. It has so much space for storage and it doesn't take much space away on my dresser where I displayed it. It is beautifully carved.It is by far a very unique piece! April 16, 2009
Rated 4 out of 5 by vleaves Beautiful Jewelry Box I love this to keep my jewelry in; my husband got it for me for Christmas after we saw it in the store. I love the ornate carving and deep finish to the piece, but I feel like I need to "p*mp" this for better organizational utility. My mom suggested buying low pile velvet to line the box and I was thinking of getting some balsa wood to create dividers so my necklaces and earrings don't become a tangled mess. I also may put a small mirror on the inside cover. I'm concerned that the hardware will fall apart, and I like the other aspects of the box so much. Oh, well. December 26, 2010
Rated 4 out of 5 by Red very happy It is great for displaying small keep sakes. The hinges arent real sturdy so opening and closing often might ruin it but it is worth the money. Just for the look of it when displayed November 28, 2009
Rated 4 out of 5 by Angie Sewing box I got this beautifully crafted box to store my sewing things in (scissors, thread and the infamous tomato pin cushion). It works great. The wood carving is beautiful and matches my decor and the top compartment has three sections that help with organization. The only reason I did not give this 5 stars is because the hardware seems a bit cheap and I fear may break in the future. I hope not. May 5, 2009

Our Commitment to Criminal Justice Majors
In Delaware State's Bachelor of Criminal Justice degree program, students don't merely study from textbooks. They also learn real-world lessons via our outstanding internship program, getting hands-on experience in the law enforcement, corrections, and criminal justice systems. This practical education is paired with a strong academic program that emphasizes writing and critical thinking. Students who earn a criminal justice degree from Delaware State have an excellent track record of success in the job market and graduate school.
The criminal justice major reflects our traditional mission as an HBCU. The program explores the historical and sociological roots of the U.S. criminal justice system, with particular emphasis on its racial and cultural foundations. Students compare the abstract principles of criminal justice against the actual workings of the criminal justice system, while learning about models for reform.
To graduate with a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Criminal Justice, a student must complete at least 121 credit hours of coursework. Coursework includes general education courses as well as Criminal Justice courses and an internship. A minimum grade of "C" is required in most Criminal Justice courses.
Professional Preparation
The criminal justice major at Delaware State stands out for its outstanding internship program. Our students get field experience opportunities in Delaware, New Jersey, and Maryland. They can choose internships that focus on substance abuse, homeland security, corrections, or other specialties. Whatever type of internship they perform, criminal justice majors get to explore their career options, add experience to their resumes, and make contacts within the profession.
The department participates actively in the National Association of Blacks in Criminal Justice [1], yielding further professional connections and opportunities for students.
Internship Testimonials
Faculty [2]
Criminal justice faculty are devoted teachers with a keen interest in undergraduate education. Professors are approachable and supportive, offering mentorship and academic guidance as well as classroom expertise.
Members of Delaware State's criminal justice faculty are active researchers and writers, with specialized interests that include domestic violence, prison rehabilitation, drug abuse, mental illness, and international criminal systems.
Research and Experience
Delaware State's criminal justice department actively supports innovation in the field. The department is currently involved in a project to improve the chain of custody for criminal evidence (including in national security cases). It also is planning to participate in the national "Inside Out" prison exchange program, a new approach to prisoner rehabilitation and behavioral transformation. Students also have the opportunity to participate in community-service projects, take field trips to prisons and social service centers, and join other students in the Sociology and Criminal Justice Club.
