Speech-Language Pathology
Speech-Language Pathology
Speech-Language Pathology at the University of Louisville is a well-established program that provides challenging academic coursework and clinical experience to Master's degree candidates. Communicative Disorders is a Division within the Department of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery and Communicative Disorders in the School of Medicine. There are two sections: Speech-Language Pathology and Audiology. The Speech-Language Pathology program offers the Master of Science degree and the Audiology program offers the Doctor of Audiology degree. All students are uniquely positioned to take advantage of ties with the Louisville medical community. The Master of Science degree and the Doctor of Audiology degree are both accredited by the Council on Academic Accreditation in Audiology and Speech-Language Pathology (CAA) of the American Speech-Language Hearing Association (ASHA), 2200 Research Boulevard #310, Rockville, Maryland 20850, (800-498-2071) or (301-296-5700). Students, faculty, staff, and clients are treated equitably without regard to gender, sexual orientation, age, race, creed, national origin, or disability. The institution and program comply with all applicable laws, regulations, and executive orders pertaining thereto.
The Speech-Language Pathology program is accredited by the Council on Academic Accreditation in Audiology and Speech-Language Pathology: 5/1/2015-4/30/2023.
Mission Statement
The mission of the section of Speech-Language Pathology is to provide high quality academic education, facilitate student access to a variety of clinical populations and settings, expand the scientific base of speech-language pathology through basic and applied research, and maintain student diversity and community partnerships.
The mission statement incorporates the general missions of the University and the School of Medicine and focuses them within the discipline of speech-language pathology. As an educational program accredited in speech-language pathology, we strive to provide the academic background and clinical experiences that will enable our graduates to meet the diverse communicative needs of the citizens within a multicultural and metropolitan society. The preparatory phase portion of the program supports students as they earn prerequisites to enter the degree program. The core phase of the program provides didactic and clinical applications across the discipline. It is also designed to prepare future speech-language pathologists who are ethical in the provision of services, as well as issues of cultural diversity (e.g., dialectal differences among speakers, deaf culture) and ethnicity. Our goal is to provide comprehensive, state-of-the-art practices in speech-language pathology in collaboration with other disciplines and community resources in the Louisville metropolitan region. Finally, we see as our mission, contribution to the scientific knowledge base in communication sciences and disorders through basic and applied research on the part of each of our faculty.
Master's Degree Program Options
Our Preparatory Phase and Core Phase options offer students with and without prior backgrounds in speech-language pathology the possibility of pursuing a Master of Science Degree. The program admits students in two ways.
- Entrance into the Preparatory phase for students who do not have an undergraduate degree in Speech-Language Pathology. This is a 3-year program.
- Entrance into the Core phase for students with an undergraduate degree from an accredited university program in Speech-Language Pathology.
Undergraduate students at the University of Louisville may complete the Preparatory phase of the program as electives. Upon satisfactory completion of the Preparatory phase coursework, students may apply for admission to the Core phase.
Practicum Sites
Learning comes to life when students apply their skills at the practicum sites under the supervision of faculty and other speech-language pathology professionals. Our urban and suburban practicum sites in Louisville and surrounding areas afford students the advantage of working with diverse populations. Students work with both adults and children in hospitals, faculty-based private practices, private specialty clinics, head injury programs, private and public schools, long-term care and rehabilitation settings in order to gain an idea of the environment they like best. Students may work with the clinic director to arrange a practicum at an approved site anywhere in the country for their clinical experience in the last eight weeks of their final semester.
The faculty represent a broad spectrum of academic expertise in the areas of: neurogenics, early intervention, pediatric feeding and swallowing, dysphagia, voice disorders, stuttering and alternative and augmentative communication.
The practices and interests of our faculty combine to give students access to a wealth of knowledge and a current understanding of the field. As faculty members participate in private practices in their areas of expertise, they bring the most up-to-date and relevant evidence-based techniques to the classroom. Students may participate in faculty private practices in a variety of settings.
Visitation Days
We strongly encourage prospective students to visit the campus on one of our scheduled visitation days.
Students requesting information about the program should plan on attending one of these days. Individual advising may be available on a limited basis at the end of the visit. Parents are welcome to attend. Contact Angela Smith. Visitation Days for 2016 are January 22, March 18, and July 8.

Expanding the newborn screening process should prevent the delayed diagnosis of critical congenital heart disease (CCHD), which can result in death or injury to infants. The inclusion of pulse oximetry screening was the result of a lengthy review process in which William Mahle, M.D., pediatric cardiologist at the Children's Healthcare of Atlanta Sibley Heart Center, played a crucial role.
Dr. Mahle led the development of the 2009 AAP/AHA statement and chaired the Secretary of Health and Human Services workgroup to develop the Strategies for Implementing Screening for Critical Congenital Heart Disease.
Download and print the recommended protocol for screening for congenital heart disease using pulse oximetry.
As a result, Sept. 21, 2011, Secretary of Health and Human Services Kathleen Sebelius recommended that pulse oximetry be added to the recommended uniform screening panel (RUSP). This improves on the current approach to detect CCHD, which has relied primarily on prenatal ultrasound and physical exams in the newborn nursery.
A number of studies show that adding pulse oximetry to the assessment of the newborn can enhance detection of CCHD. The readily available, noninvasive and painless technology can be easily incorporated into routine screenings.
Highlights from the Strategies for Implementing Screening for Critical Congenital Heart Disease
This screening is targeted toward healthy newborns in the newborn nursery.

TUCSON, Ariz. – University of Arizona head volleyball coach Dave Rubio announced today that U of A alum and former assistant coach Charita Stubbs will be returning as a member of the coaching staff. Stubbs rounds out the coaching staff as assistant coach, while current assistant Melissa Walker will now become a volunteer assistant.
Stubbs returns to Tucson after serving as the founder and Executive Director of Club Red Volleyball Inc. in Raleigh, N.C. in addition to being Athletic Director and head volleyball coach at Grace Christian School in Raleigh. Prior to her time with Club Red and at Grace Christian, she served a four-year stint as the head volleyball coach at NC State.
Prior to landing her first collegiate head coaching position in February 2006, Stubbs was a member of Rubio's staff for nine seasons as an assistant coach and associate head coach at Arizona. Helping the Wildcats reach the NCAA Tournament all nine years and finish in the top 25 in all but one of those seasons, Stubbs became the seventh head coach in the Wolfpack's 31st year of volleyball and the first African-American female to be named a head coach at NC State.
Involved in all coaching aspects at Arizona, Stubbs coached at least one middle blocker to all-conference honors every year in her last eight seasons in Tucson. Promoted from assistant coach to associate head coach in 2000, Stubbs helped bring in the nation's top-ranked recruiting class in 2002. Highly involved in youth club volleyball, Stubbs served as head coach for the Zona Volleyball Club for four years and worked as an assistant volleyball coach at the renowned High Performance Camp in Salt Lake City two summers. Stubbs also served as an assistant coach for the U.S. Junior National team that qualified for the 2001 World Championships in Mexico.
The first player in Arizona history to record 300 kills, 300 digs and 100 blocks in one season, the former Charita Johnson led the Wildcats to back-to-back Sweet 16 appearances at the 1993 and 1994 NCAA Tournaments. A four-year starting middle blocker from 1990-94, she earned All-Pac-10 and All-West Region honors as a senior and still holds school records for career (117) and single match (8) solo blocks.
A member of the 1993 and 1994 United States Olympic Festival volleyball, Stubbs played professionally in France in 1995. Stubbs earned a bachelor of arts degree in political science from the University of Arizona in 1994 and received her master's in language, reading and culture from Arizona in 1995. She is fluent in French and is a certified teacher. She is currently working to complete her Ed.D in Educational Leadership.
A CAP II certified coach, Stubbs is also a graduate of the Women's Coaches Academy (WCA). She graduated from Emory in 2005, and followed up with WCA Dimension II Inverness in 2007.
A lifetime member of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc., Stubbs is also very involved with her church, Mt.Calvary. She hails from Cleveland, Ohio and is married to Melvin Stubbs. They are the proud parents of son, Melvin Jr. (5) and Bethaina (9).

Gabrielle Union Speaks About Rihanna's "Man Down" VideoMonday, 06 June 2011 19:10
Amidst all the controversy over her "Man Down" video, Rihanna gained some praise this weekend from Gabrielle Union, who applauded the pop singer for getting people to talk about rape. Gabby just returned from D.C. earlier in the week where she attended the National Advistory Committee on Violence Against Women meetings.
Artist: Wilma AnnSaturday, 23 July 2011 10:31
St. Thomas, Virgin Islands native Wilma Ann crossed crystal blue waters to bless us with her dynamic vocal presence. Her voice is touched with intimate soul, softened by jazzy resonance and glorified with the cunning to flow smoothly through tight gospel-tinged riffs. Her music is at once romantic soul, funky, with an occasional hip-hop edge.
Rashanna HarmonSaturday, 23 July 2011 10:33
Rashanna holds a BA in Theatre from Rutgers University and is a graduate of the professional Acting and Film Training Program at the William Esper Studio in NY, NY. As a performer, she began her career competing as a singer in Hal Jackson's Talented Teens Pageant in which she won the County, State, and International levels upon her first try.

text: Music Education Major -Classroom & Instrumental Track Major Overview 68-70 credits + education course work Why music education - classroom & instrumental track? This program is designed to meet the needs of students who plan for a career in music teaching in the public or private schools. This comprehensive degree program meets the State of Minnesota licensure requirements for the music education K–12 classroom and vocal music, or the K–12 classroom and instrumental music areas. Please be advised that meeting the requirements of both the music major and education requirements for licensure may take more than four years unless students enter the program with advanced placement or transfer credits. Contact the program director if you are interested in the five- year combined degree program with the M.A. in instruction for licensure completion. The five-year combined degree program delays School of Education courses until the fifth year, allowing the music student to focus on developing his/ her own personal musicianship and complete the music education methods courses prior to enrolling in the M.A.I. program. Highly motivated students with strengths in both vocal and instrumental music may wish to complete a double (vocal and instrumental) licensure program. This is possible through either the B.A. or M.A. licensure program requirements. Teaching licensure requirements are subject to change; therefore, students considering teaching in this area should be in continuous contact with the music education program coordinator and the School of Education for any curricular updates that may be required by the Minnesota Department of Education. Career Options A majority of our graduates pursue classroom teaching in public or private middle or high schools; others go on to seek advanced degrees in special education, literacy, educational administration, curriculum and instruction, school counseling or school psychology.

Melanoma is where skin cells within moles become malignant and can rapidly spread to other areas of the body.
Of the different types of skin cancer, melanoma is the most deadly and accounts for about 75% of all skin cancer fatalities.
Dr. Jon Ward of Gulf Coast Dermatology says "melanoma is the type of skin cancer that if it gets deep enough in your skin it can get in your lymph nodes and spread and can be very devastating. A lot of young people do get melanoma and once it gets to that depth, just 3/4 of a millimeter, very thin, you can have problems."
Many melanomas pop up on the face and arms but they can also develop in other areas of the body, including the eye, underneath nails and inside the nose and mouth.
While it's typically a less common form of skin cancer, melanoma is on the rise.
Dr. Ward says Gulf Coast Dermatology has found more than 50 skin cancers in just the last 30 days.
"I think it's due to the time of year that people are getting undressed, wearing less clothing out doors and they're seeing spots and that's prompting them to come in and get checked and when we take those samples and our pathologist looks at them, he's finding melanoma in many of those cases."
Sunburns, and the use of tanning beds are two risk factors associated with melanoma.
"I like to tell my patients, tanning is for your skin like smoking is for your lungs.
They both cause cancer and we know it."
Saturday, May 12TH, Gulf Coast Dermatology will be holding free skin cancer screenings at several locations around the area, including in Panama City, Panama City Beach, Santa Rosa Beach, and Fort Walton Beach.

About Us
Mound Laboratory and the Mound site, located at southern edge of Miamisburg, between Dayton and Cincinnati, in Southwestern Ohio, hold significant places in the history of the Nuclear Age and in the hearts and minds of the dedicated scientists and workers who labored there for more than 50 years. The people, the plant, their research and manufactured items were at the leading edge of the Nuclear Age in the United States. Mound-built components are still in the U.S. nuclear weapons stockpile protecting us as a deterrent to attack from other nuclear powers. Mound-built components went with NASA to the moon, Mars and Jupiter reliably powering their instruments and keeping them at operational temperatures. They are still continuing in the same vein to Saturn, the outer reaches of the solar system and beyond.
The Mound Science and Energy Museum collects, preserves and makes publicly accessible the remaining heritage of the Mound Laboratory, its workers and its site.
The Mound Science and Energy Museum Association (MSEM) is a non profit organization (currently approximately 200 members) supporting that effort. Presently, MSEMA's membership is regionally dominated, but some members reside throughout the nation. Most are former Mound/Dayton Project employees, their spouses or their descendants. Plans to increase and diversify the membership significantly are underway.
The MSEMA's Vision
To interpret the Nuclear Age through the lives, the work and the communities of Mound employees in the Miami Valley.
The MSEMA's Mission
- Preserve artifacts, printed documents, graphic materials, etc., related to Mound's heritage
- Communicate to local and wider constituencies the historical importance of the work and achievements of Mound and its Dayton Project predecessor
- Be a source of scientific/technological information and expertise for local schools, colleges, research units and other agencies and individuals
- Participate with local, regional and national entities on projects of mutual interest.
The MSEM intends to accomplish these goals through the development of a regional museum devoted to the Nuclear Age. The Museum will chronicle this Age through the lives, work and community of Mound employees. Since the
Mound site itself was critical to the success of Mound's mission, it is of great importance to have the Mound Museum permanently located on the Mound site.The MMA intends to accomplish these goals through the development of a regional museum devoted to the Nuclear Age. The Museum will chronicle this Age through the lives, work and community of Mound employees. Since the Mound site itself was critical to the success of Mound's mission, it is of great importance to have the Mound Museum permanently located on the Mound site. At present, the Mound Museum occupies a building which originally was Mound's Guard Headquarters and is now one of only two original buildings remaining on site.Various concepts are under consideration to provide for the Museum's present and future needs.

Gardening Articles: Flowers :: Perennials
Blue Star (page 4 of 4)
by Rick Darke
Propagation, Care, and Maintenance
All blue stars can be grown from seed or from cuttings. Except for very young plants, division is my least-preferred method of propagation. In time, blue stars develop a deep, nearly woody root mass. Though this contributes to the plants' longevity and drought tolerance, it is nearly impossible to cut through without a sharp spade or an ax. Plants left standing through winter may self-sow, resulting in seedlings for new plantings or to give away.
Most blue stars require only annual cutting to the ground in winter or early spring. They rarely require supplemental fertilization and generally thrive on the fertility usually present in most garden soils. In fact, excess fertilizer is likely to cause floppy growth. Most are strictly clump-forming and are among the longest-lived of all perennials.

I honestly expected more twists from the book. Since I doubted Nick was the killer (too easy) I suspected Amy was lying. I guess I've seen/read too many movies/books with an unreliable narrator (think Fight Club). Also, it reminded me a lot of The War of the Roses so I expected a more explosive ending.
However, the writing was good and the questions it raised I think should be familiar to everyone who's ever been in a relationship.

Though I didn't read reviews or anything, I figured both would be unreliable narrators, and "Good Amy's" diary actually revealed her lies, IMO--her rant about the "Cool Girl" and her pretending to be that cool girl, as well as how her POV made her come across as someone who wanted reality to be the way she wanted it to be. So I was suspicious of her from the half-way mark. I really hated that Nick had a secret mistress--really boring plot twist--but I pretty much considered both of them twisted and narcissistic. But I did love it for being a crazy roller coaster and that ENDING! So Hitchcock.

It definitely made me sick to my stomach, but I was very entertained.
Hi, Jessi. Most of my dislike is that it just wasn't believable. I never for one moment believed that Nick killed Amy...funny that the book was called Gone Girl...not Dead Girl. The science of today would discredit much of the 'evidence' Amy created, IMO. I do think that it would make a good dark comedy, if the movie does get made.
I agree about the details. What about Desi's alibi, for example? Or Amy aka The Great Planner, couldn't do a better job at hiding her stash of cash.
I think if the author went for more of a dark comedy (as in The Wars of the Roses) feel it would be a perfect book because details wouldn't have mattered as much.

Now I remember why I don't read mysteries (or "psychological thrillers," or whatever). Really not my cup of tea.
GG took me a whole week to read. I think part of it was because I did not care about either of the principal characters. I disliked them both, actually, and apparently I need to care about at least one character in a novel to be motivated to keep reading...
First part of GG was pretty good. Fell apart for me toward the end, or rather, starting when Amy, who had planned everything so meticulously, threw caution to the wind and got involved with her Ozark neighbors and even let her money be seen. I have a hard time believing she'd have let those things happen.
Also, unlike most of the posters here, I found the ending to be a cop-out and a big let-down. Also, the part about Nick never being happy with a "regular" woman after having been with Amy. Really? I guess I didn't quite buy that Nick could feel that way. And the whole idea that these two dysfunctional people, while antagonizing each other, also made each other be "better" (as in "step up to the plate") in some bizarre way? Um, okay...
To give credit where it is due, Flynn's writing (exact story notwithstanding) is excellent. Her insight into an "Amy"-type personality, and her way of choosing and then voicing both of the main character's thoughts, was amazing.

VERY late to the party;
I think Nick wants to be with Amy because she makes him look good to himself. He knows he's a weak, misogynistic, passive mama's boy - but next to Crazy Amy, he's the hero!
I mean, who wouldn't look good compared to the sociopath that is Amy?
Personally, the only truly characters I might like in RL are Boney and the Bolts.

We recently gave you the opportunity ask our CEO, Wess, any questions you like. We're publishing his answers one day at a time.
- How does it feel to be making such a large salary? Do you feel like it would benefit more children in poverty if you were to take a cut in pay so that more of those funds could go toward ministering to children? (Kayla)
This is a fair question because this is a non-profit organization and this type of information is on public record. Anyone who wants to find out what the leaders of Compassion make can review our 990 form.
There are some decisions that I don't make around here, and all the decisions about what I'm paid fall to Compassion's Board of Directors. Our Board believes that Compassion must exercise prudent business judgment in balancing the stewardship of the ministry's financial resources, the needs of the employees, and the payment of salaries sufficient to attract and retain the well-qualified employees who are required to effectively carry out our ministry. It is important to Compassion's Board of Directors that we represent both excellence and stewardship.
Part of our salary structure also dictates that all Compassion staff are paid relative to that of the top position in the organization, which happens to be mine. So, if I were to be paid less, it means that every person below me in the organization would also be paid less. I have staff reporting to me who are responsible for managing a budget of nearly $400 million. It requires a high level of management competency to effectively supervise all that has been entrusted to this ministry.
I wish we lived in a world where Christians could fully focus on what we feel the Lord has called us to do without also having to worry about paying a mortgage, putting children through college, caring for aging parents, planning for retirement, etc. But, this is a reality that American non-profits (probably including many of our churches and some government officials) have struggled with for a long time.
What my wife and I have determined – and what I think everybody has to determine for themselves is – what is enough? Anything beyond enough can trap you. I live a very modest life, with a modest house and a modest car. Once Donna and I figured out what was enough for us, we agreed to just give the rest away. In fact, we give quite a lot of it right back to Compassion—we sponsor lots of kids and support every other mission effort that goes out of this place.
The truth is I would work for Compassion for absolutely nothing if it were possible.

A pictorial review of the Lady Rattlers volleyball team of 2008
Life is fun! Time spent at work is fun as I shoot freelance for a local weekly newspaper and have time left over to travel to Việt Nam. In many ways, that country has had a huge impact on my life having spent two years there as an Infantry Officer during the war, having met the Army nurse there who later became my wife, and as a place where we both spent 1 1/2 years teaching English at a university. Most of my writings and photography are connected to this exotic and fascinating country. Its just one of the things that makes life fun for me.

Swift justice needed
Published: Wednesday, January 30, 2013 at 12:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, January 29, 2013 at 12:08 p.m.
Editor: What started out as a wintery day, cold with flurries and sleet turned into something completely different. Never would I have thought how awful the truth of the day was.
I heard that a dear friend had been killed Friday morning. I am not exactly sure when. But it is believed that Nancy Harvey was alone working at the car dealership, Atlanta Car Co., she owned and operated when she was taken by surprise and lost her life. This is a horrible loss of a fine lady who worked long and hard to try and continue the business that was started here by her and her late husband.
At the time of this writing the sheriff's office has released little or no information concerning the matter, so no one has anything to go on yet in public. One can only hope that swift justice will be done in this matter, where an innocent, hard-working woman has been slain over a car. Is there no end to what people will kill for?
I was shocked beyond words when I heard this news. I remember a wonderful, funny, but involved woman who tried to have fair dealings with everyone. Her kindness and her personality are missed already. I ask God to look after her soul that was called to his side so soon. And to forgive me for my thoughts about who has done this terrible thing.
Walt Wilson

One of the most delightful—and often overlooked—movies of 2012 is Jeff, Who Lives at Home. A comedy with a tender core, Jeff stars Jason Segel as the adult child who just can't get it together to depart his mother's basement and build a life of his own. His brother Pat, played by Ed Helms, is equally regressive in behavior—blowing the money he and his wife (Judy Greer) have saved to buy a house on a Jaguar, for starters. But for More readers, the most enchanting character is the boys' loving but frustrated mom, Sharon, played by Oscar winner Susan Sarandon. Bored at work, lonely since the death of her husband, and celebrating a birthday with just one wish—Please somebody fix the broken slat on the louver door—Sharon finds unexpected love as the film races to a surprising conclusion that rebuilds the family's shattered bonds.
Sarandon took a few moments to talk to More about the film, written and directed by brothers Jay and Mark Duplass (Cyrus), which debuts June 19 on DVD ($16.99) and Blu-ray ($29.99).
MORE: First, I have to say how much I loved this movie. It was so charming and moving.
Susan Sarandon: A lot of people did! I was surprised that it resonated as much, but so many people on the movie junket came in and said, "That really moved me." So I'm happy there's going to be another chance to see it.
More: A lot of actresses your age are going the thriller route, or villain route. How do you choose your roles?
SS: I choose from what I'm offered. I am going to do a villain coming up—Hook is much more fun than Peter Pan, after all. I have played more psychological villains, but not so many action things. A few were offered but they didn't have the right script or director.
But you never know what will work out. The powers that be can come in and take out what's important, or the movie can be shot in a funny way. There are so many more ways for a film to go wrong than right. So you try to assemble the best team. I've taken chances on first time directors; some have done well, some others not. So you never know where a film goes wrong. As an actor you get as much as you can from the process and surrender to the universe because you have no control.
More: What attracted you to Jeff, Who Lives at Home?
SS: When I read the script, I was moved by it. Family means so much to me and siblings—it's so difficult for siblings to find ways to cherish the differences between them as opposed to get into conflict. It's ironic that this movie is directed by two very different brothers. I love the whole spirit with which they make their films and how they have fun with them.
More: And what about your character, single mom Sharon, who finds her life altering so drastically?
SS: I know so many people who are stuck in their lives and wondering what happened? I added a line to the script about the boys: "They used to be so cute….what happened?" People wonder what happened. I was moved by the fact that Sharon was the mom and the dad….these days, with the economy suffering, more and more divorced single moms are living with families. Instead of calling these kids slackers and dumping on them, set down rules and don't get ripped off! It's a great opportunity to see your children as adults and for them to see you as an adult.
More: In the end, Sharon forms a relationship with a sympathetic coworker, Carol.
SS: There's also the phenomenon of widowed women living with other women…they're not necessarily gay…we struggled how to say that. It's not because you don't like men but because you have a little bit of imagination. The question is: Don't you want to be with someone who values you?
More: I wasn't sure if the two women were lesbians. That wasn't clear to me.
SS: It was left ambiguous. But the idea of somebody seeing you and getting you—whether it's sexual or not—that was what we were working toward.
More: Was this the first time you kissed a woman on screen? I thought maybe there was a scene in The Witches of Eastwick.
SS: No, that sex was all with Jack [Nicholson]. For a full on sex scene with a woman, check out The Hunger. Catherine Deneuve and I have a full on love scene there.
More: I first saw you onscreen in Joearound 1970. You were the kid on the set then. How is it different now, working with young actors and directors?
SS: I love that every movie has different people involved. Many younger directors have an advantage; the older ones tend to lose passion because the business is so brutal. The various obstacles of filmmaking wear people down. It's heartbreak after heartbreak. But if you're dealing with new directors, they're having fun.
More: Do you also enjoy working with younger actors?
SS: I look at every actor as an opportunity to learn and to be more flexible and present. That's the joy of it—to keep curious and fresh and to adjust. What you dread is to become a caricature of yourself by doing the same thing over and over. Luckily, I see myself as a character actress, so I welcome the chance to be someone else.
More: What else are you up to?
SS: I'm going to be doing a little piece of a movie that will be skyped; it's conversations between mothers and daughters. I'm looking forward to bringing my sensibility to that, my sense of humor. I don't like to do the same thing over and over.

There were two reasons to celebrate at the 15th anniversary of Pistils and Petals, one of South Beach's leading floral design studios. The first was to commemorate the quarter-century mark of the venue, which began as a modest mom-and-pop shop in 1997 and has now expanded internationally. The second was the one-year anniversary of Elizabeth Potter as the company's president. Held at Hyde Beach at the SLS South Beach, the outdoor party featured a performance by Private Stereo and fragrant St. Germain-based cocktails adorned with blooms, natch.

There's not a lot of debate about the quality of Romney's Olympic management. Even former Salt Lake City Mayor Rocky Anderson—a rival presidential candidate (for the fledgling Justice Party) and polar political opposite of the socially conservative multi-millionaire—said Romney was "a great leader" of the Games. But Romney hasn't branded himself as simply a great leader, but rather as a turnaround specialist. The story of his Olympic experience is an indispensable part of that meme. Within weeks of returning to Massachusetts, Romney was in full campaign mode, and already reminding folks in the Bay State (and telling those that hadn't heard) that the Olympic Games had been on the brink of disaster and "beset by red ink and a lack of public confidence" until he took over.
And thus was born the first of many flips for a man who has come to be known for his flops.
Romney's Sept. 27, 2002 newsletter to supporters somewhat blurrily recalled "how he erased a $379 million budget deficit, organized 23,000 volunteers, galvanized community spirit and restored integrity to the Games."
Romney's subordinates and supporters were even more gratuitous in their assessment of Romney's Olympic role. Eric Fehrnstrom, Romney's deputy campaign manager, told the Boston Globe that the former Olympic chief "rescued the Olympics and restored pride in the United States at a critical time in our history."
Once the Olympic-saving aura was fixed, Romney didn't have to say much at all. The media began doing it for him, describing his time as head of the Games as "triumphant" and calling him the "savior." Romney could have let it ride. Instead he doubled down.
In 2004 Romney released his first book. He called it Turnaround: Crisis, Leadership and the Olympic Games. The inside cover read: "Sullied by scandal, on the brink of financial disaster, and with federal investigators, bankers and the press at its door, the Salt Lake Organizing Committee's senior managers admitted the organization was paralyzed. But Romney had too much American patriotism to let it become a catastrophe for his country. So he accepted the biggest turnaround challenge of his life."
And in his runs for the Republican presidential nomination in 2008 and 2012, Romney once again highlighted the scandal, describing it as a major crisis. In one television ad during the first run Romney said he "took on the bankrupt Olympics and turned them around." On his campaign website, earlier this year, Romney claimed to have "salvaged the 2002 Winter Olympic Games from certain disaster."
That's a motif that Romney supporter Frasier Bullock—a partner in Romney's venture capital firm who served as chief financial officer for the games at Romney's behest—continues to advance today, providing the candidate room to use more humble words when speaking of the Games. At an event in Salt Lake City in February, Bullock told a crowd of former SLOC members that Romney was "the greatest leader in the history of the Olympics."
Former International Olympic Committee executive Dick Pound won't go that far, but he believes Romney does deserve quite a bit of credit for the leadership he exhibited in Utah. The Salt Lake Organizing Committee "was really sucking wind at the point Romney took over," Pound says. "They needed somebody to step in who was not part of the old gang, who hadn't been a part of the bidding process."
But had the scandal brought the Games to the brink of collapse?
"There certainly was no concern that would happen," Pound says, noting that even before Romney arrived on the scene, the IOC had put its full support behind Salt Lake. To understand in proper context the challenge Romney faced in 2002, it might be helpful to revisit the Games his father was unable to secure for Michigan.
In the wake of the deadly Detroit riots of 1967, some expressed relief Olympic leaders had passed over Michigan's largest city four years earlier. But the truth was that Mexico City had even bigger problems. In the summer of 1968, just 10 days before the Games were to begin, scores of student protestors and bystanders were killed during a protest that involved, among other complaints, the amount of money the government was spending while so many Mexicans were suffering without work or food. The government's violent crackdown brought swift international condemnation and calls for a cancellation of the Games.
But the show went on. And more than 600 million people watched as Mexican hurdler Norma Enriqueta Basilio de Sotelo became the first woman to light the Olympic cauldron; as U.S. high jumper Dick Fosbury introduced the world to his revolutionary "flop"; as Tanzania's John Stephen Akhwari completed a marathon on a dislocated knee; and as African American sprinters Tommie Smith and John Carlos took a shoeless, black-gloved stand for human rights after medaling in the 200-meter race.
In short, the Games were a success and left a lasting legacy on sports, culture and politics.
Since the Greeks lit the modern Olympic flame in 1896, every host city has been besieged by some degree of scandal, ill-preparedness or tragedy. The Games have survived two World Wars, The Great Depression, a series of Cold War boycotts and several instances of terrorism. And in almost all cases naysayers worried, as the torch came nearer, that the next iteration of the Games would be a colossal failure.
With just 100 days to go before the start of the 2004 Summer Games, Athens was in a state of total disarray. "The metro station to the park wasn't finished and the whole area was a scruffy building site," a BBC correspondent wrote.
Would the Greeks dishonor their heritage by botching the Games? Not by a long jump. As the torch was passed along, IOC President Jacques Rogge told the closing ceremony crowd they'd witnessed the "Dream Games."
It almost always works out that way.
In Beijing—where environmentalists and health experts feared that thick, gray haze would spell certain doom for athletes—competitors and spectators were treated to two weeks of mostly blue skies as the Chinese closed factories and limited car travel to secure a good environment for the international spectacle.
Four years before the 2010 Vancouver Winter Games, a British Columbian auditor general found the event was on pace to exceed by nearly $2 billion the original estimated price tag. The Games went on. And the biggest problem wasn't organization but something that no Olympic host city can control: Weather was so warm that it was difficult to hold some events.
By contrast, consider what Romney inherited when he took over as head of the Salt Lake Organizing Committee in 1999: He had the full confidence of the IOC—leaders of which made it clear, as soon as the scandal broke, that Utah would still host the Games. He had tens of thousands of Olympic volunteers; $1 billion dollars in the coffers toward a $1.45 billion projected budget, with three years to go before show time; and a congressional sugar daddy named Sen. Robert Bennett, who alongside other senate colleagues helped direct federal funds to Utah projects in support of the Games. (Among the funds that stoked the ire of Sen. John McCain and other spending watchdogs was $2.2 million to improve Salt Lake's sewer system, hidden inside an emergency appropriation to fund U.S. operations in Kosovo.)
Had the scandal really left a crisis worthy of the epic legend that has been built around it?
Anderson, who was brought onto the Salt Lake Organizing Committee after his election in 2000, said he never harbored any concern that the Games might fail.
That's an assessment shared by his predecessor, Deedee Corradini. "I never felt the Games were at risk of not being successful," she says.
Notwithstanding his fondness for Romney, Anderson says, "it's not surprising that someone running for political office would raise his role in meeting the challenges we were facing."

While the physical release doesn't come around until October 6th, the highly anticipated Basement Jaxx album Scars is now available worldwide in digital format with bonus tracks. (Buy here from iTunes). Featured vocalists and collaborators include Kelis, Meleka, Chipmunk, Eli "Paperboy" Reed, Santigold, Sam Sparro, Lightspeed Champion, Amp Fiddler, Yo Majesty, Yoko Ono, Paloma Faith, Lisa Kekaula, Jose Hendrix Ndelo, Jose James, Lil Louis, Serocee, Funkagenda and Paul Thomas.
"There's a good reason why the new record is called Scars," says Felix Buxton. "Making it has been a grueling process. When we finished recording, it felt like we'd come out of a boxing ring." His bandmate Simon Ratcliffe nods in agreement.

Today marks the 50th anniversary of the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom, when more than a quarter million people converged in the then largest demonstration in the United States capital. It was a triumph of unity and a moment – like many revolutionary episodes – that seized on the power of song to help make sense of its gravitas. The diverse cast of voices on August 28, 1963 included Marian Anderson, Joan Baez, Bob Dylan, and Peter, Paul and Mary. However, it was gospel legend Mahalia Jackson who, at the request of Martin Luther King Jr., helped set the stage for among the world's greatest recordings: the "I Have a Dream" speech.
"If [Martin Luther] King gave the movement a vision, Mahalia Jackson gave it a voice," wrote history and culture scholar Craig Werner in A Change is Gonna Come: Music, Race & the Soul of America.
The inimitable voice of 1997 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Inductee Mahalia Jackson resonated far and wide, her bracing soprano and interpretation of gospel making her a familiar name among black and white audiences. She found stardom without making secular songs, becoming the first gospel artist to sing at Carnegie Hall in 1950 and the host of her own Sunday evening show on CBS in 1954. She appeared on The Ed Sullivan Show in 1956 and sang at John F. Kennedy's inaugural ball in 1961. Yet, it was Jackson's singular contributions to the civil rights movement that placed her on the Lincoln Memorial during the March on Washington in 1963.
Jackson was introduced to King and fellow civil rights leader Ralph Abernathy at the 1955 National Baptist Convention meeting in Denver, where she offered her voice to the Montgomery Bus Boycott. The following year, in 1956, Jackson performed "Move On Up a Little Higher" and "I've Heard of a City Called Heaven" during a rally in Montgomery, where two days later, a bomb exploded outside the bedroom where she had slept.
With performers like Jackson leading the charge, gospel became central to strengthening the civil rights movement. The lyrics often delivered double meanings and reaffirmed the importance of faith, while the music itself leveraged the energy of call and response, projected not only physical but also psychological strength, and encouraged solidarity. Music from the pulpit to the people helped elevate the spirit of the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom on August 28, 1963. And Mahalia Jackson provided the stirring soundtrack.
Before Martin Luther King Jr.'s iconic "I Have a Dream" speech, Jackson sang "I've Been 'Buked and I've Been Scorned" at the request of Martin Luther King Jr. "That old spiritual was a touchstone for King, a channel of his almost mystical kinship with the slave forebears," noted writer Joseph E. Davis. "He was signaling that for all the civil religious trappings, he intended to read American history in the light of black history. You need to place that choice of song in the context of the early '60s; long before black power, he's bringing black cultural forms out into the public square."
Following King at the Lincoln Memorial, Jackson sang "How I Got Over," a fiery coda to among the most pivotal moments in US history. "Her voice is a heartfelt expression of all that is most human about us — our fears, our faith, our hope for salvation," David Ritz wrote in his liner notes for Mahalia Jackson: 16 Most Requested Songs. "Hope is the hallmark of Mahalia Jackson and the gospel tradition she embodies." [pictured: 1962 Mahalia Jackson concert poster, on view in the touring Women Who Rock exhibit]
Mahalia Jackson is among the artists featured in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum's Roots of Rock and Roll exhibit in Cleveland, Ohio. Mahalia Jackson is also spotlighted in the traveling Women Who Rock exhibit.

Here's a practical self-care tip: Make a wellness plan ahead of time that will help you manage stress when you're caught up in the whirl wind of your life. You probably make plans for everything else: work, dinner plans with friends, even the kids' science project. Why not plan something that will help you feel calmer and stay a little healthier?
You can do the following three stress busters almost anywhere. When you get comfortable with them, you'll probably also find yourself doing them in front of other people without them even knowing it. Imagine yourself releasing tension during a stressful meeting, while sitting in a waiting room, or anywhere else your busy schedule takes you.
"In the moment" stress management can help you leave the tension of demanding interactions behind you. It helps you move forward through the rest of your day feeling calmer and more balanced. You'll probably also find yourself feeling less drained in spite of your demanding schedule. Best of all, you won't feel like unloading all the frustration of the day on your loved ones when you get home.
1. Deep breathing. This is the easiest form of relaxation. You can do it anywhere, any time. When you realize you're feeling stressed or frazzled turn your attention to your breathing. You'll probably realize you've been taking shallow, rapid breaths. Now, inhale slowly and deeply through your nose for four counts. Exhale slowly through your mouth for another four counts. This will help your body shift into a calmer, more relaxed state.
2. Affirmations. If you find your mind racing, worrying, or fixating on stressful thoughts, switch to a positive affirmation. This helps relieve stress by interrupting the negative thoughts creating tension. It also allows you to focus on something positive and empowering that can help improve your mood. Keep the affirmation short, positive, and encouraging. Repeat a statement like, "I am able to handle this situation well," "Peace, be still," or "This too shall pass" several times out loud or quietly to yourself. Do it until you start to feel more relaxed.
3. Visualizations. Like affirmations, using your mind's eye to create a calming scene also helps shift your focus from the stressor to something soothing. This technique is kind of like a mini-meditation so you're also likely to notice your body feeling more relaxed. Take a couple of moments to consciously create images of something that makes you feel good and is a positive image. It can be a relaxing location, an image of you successfully achieving a goal, of you looking and feeling incredibly happy, healthy, peaceful, etc. Let your imagination carry you where you need to go to release the stress you're feeling.
Creating a healthy lifestyle doesn't have to be a big, time-consuming task. Sometimes it's as easy as remembering to pause for wellness and to manage stress in the moment.

Deeplinks Blog posts about WIPO
The WIPO Broadcasting Treaty has just passed the next step on its way to a Diplomatic Conference in 2007. The meeting of the WIPO Standing Committee on Copyright and Related Rights has just recommended that the WIPO General Assembly convene a Diplomatic Conference in July 2007.
Overruling the objections of a number of WIPO Member States (including the United States), the following recommendations were grudgingly adopted under a silent procedure:
Day 3, 13 September 2006.
Meeting outcome (as adopted by silent procedure, at 5:56 p.m.):
The WIPO Standing Committee on Copyright and Related Rights is meeting this week in Geneva to discuss and "finalize" the proposed Broadcasting Treaty. WIPO's goal is to get the 182 Member States to make a recommendation to the upcoming General Assembly that it should convene an early 2007 Diplomatic Conference, where the nuts and bolts of the treaty would be hammered out. Stakes are high. This will be the third time that the treaty has been put forward for a vote on holding a Diplomatic Conference. At the end of day 2, it looks like they might get their wish. The only question is at what cost?
Negotiations on the WIPO Development Agenda came to a grinding halt today, after the Chair presented the Committee with a proposed recommendation for the WIPO General Assembly that raised concerns about procedural fairness and transparency. Brazil and Argentina announced that they had instructions from their governments to withdraw from the process due to unfair procedural treatment, and requested that the existing proposals be sent to the WIPO General Assembly to decide the future of the Development Agenda. The only thing that was clear by day's end is that the annual General Assembly meeting on September 25-October 3 will be very interesting indeed.
Read on for more analysis and the NGO Coalition's notes after the jump.
For most of day 2 of this week's meeting on the WIPO Development Agenda, we counted. We heard statements from Brazil, Chile, Uruguay, and South Africa about the importance of protecting the public domain, balancing intellectual property rights with human rights, and the very real problems facing developing countries . In between, we listened to developed countries reel off lists of the numbers of the 111 proposals that they would -- and in the case of the U.S., Japan and Mexico -- would not support.
There was no real engagement or debate on matters of substance; the developed countries have clearly decided that the real action will be at the September WIPO General Assembly. Meanwhile, Brazil on behalf of the Group of Friends of Development, continued carefully documenting how their 21 proposal document (PCDA/2/2) addresses and summarizes the proposals on the table.
This week WIPO is holding the final round of talks on establishing a WIPO Development Agenda. The WIPO Development Agenda offers the possibility of creating global intellectual property laws that balance rightsholders' interests with the human rights of the world's citizens for access to medicine and knowledge. The scope of proposals on the table is truly amazing. WIPO is being asked to create ways to protect the Public Domain and to rebalance its technical assistance to developing countries. But so far, the talks have been marred by procedural stalling and little agreement on specifics. Now it's crunch time. In the next five short days, WIPO member states have to come up with concrete recommendations for the September WIPO General Assembly.

text: The actual percentage of asset distributions to the various classes of claimants will depend upon a variety of factors including, among other things, the dollar amount of future administrative expenses, the proceeds from the sale of assets, the amount of reinsurance and other assets collected, the outcome of any third party litigation and the amount at which the claims are evaluated and accepted. However, actual distribution percentages are not determined until all assets have been converted into cash, all claims have been evaluated and accepted, and the distribution percentages are approved by Commonwealth Court. The length of time it takes to liquidate a company and petition Commonwealth Court for a final distribution is directly related to the type and complexity of each estate's assets and liabilities and whether the Liquidator pursues asset recoveries through litigation.

If you prefer a pump shotgun for self defense, I think that you would have a hard time coming up with something better than this:
Mossberg 590 shotgun with8-round magazine and a rifle-type ghost-ring sights
Here is the factory description of this weapon:
Type: Pump action shotgun
Gauge: 12; 3" / 76 mm chamber
Barrel length: 500 mm / 20" or 450 mm / 18" ismost common. others available.
Magazine:underbarrel tube magazine, 8 rounds
Mossberg 590 was developed by O.F.Mossberg &sons company (USA) in the mid-1970s as a "military specifications" (adopted for US Military) modification of the Mossberg model 500 shotgun. "Militarization"included strenghtening of the receiver and other parts, installation ofthe vented heatshield around the barrel,bayonet lug and extended magazine, as well as an aluminum trigger guard instead of plastic one. Standard finish is Parkerizing, and the gun is usually provided with replacement pistol grip, which allows easy converion to 'Cruiser' modification and back. Since 1987 this shotgun is a standard equipmentof US Armed forces; while it was officially replaced in US Army with Benelli M1014 semi-automatic shotgun, Mossberg 590 shotguns are still widely used by US Navy and US Marine Corps.

Jaundice in babies
Michael McQueen, MD, is a board-certified neonatologist on staff at Banner Estrella Medical Center.
Question: How do I know if my baby has jaundice and what does that mean for her health?
Answer: Jaundice is a yellow discoloration of your baby's skin. To some degree, jaundice develops in nearly all babies and usually is not a serious problem. This discoloration is caused by an increased amount of a molecule called bilirubin, which is a yellowish pigment found in small amounts in everyone's blood. After babies are born, they begin a normal process of breaking down old red blood cells and making new ones. Excess bilirubin is a by-product of the red blood cell break down. Ultimately, the bilrubin is processed in the liver and excreted from the body, but because the newborn liver can't keep up with the initial bilirubin production, the bilrubin is temporarily stored in the skin, causing the yellow tint or jaundice.
While it is rare, some babies accumulate too much bilirubin, which can be dangerous. At Banner Estrella Medical Center, each newborn is screened for hyperbilirubinemia, or too much bilirubin, when they are 24 hours old. However, the peak bilirubin levels in full-term babies occur between days 3 to 5 of life, when many new mothers and babies already are home from the hospital. That is why it is important to watch your newborn closely for signs of a yellow tinge, and to keep your early appointments with your pediatrician.
If the baby does need treatment for excess jaundice, the treatment is usually very simple. Babies are put under phototherapy lights or "bilirubin lights," usually for 24 to 72 hours. These special lights assist the newborn by changing the shape of the bilirubin molecule, making it easier for the baby to eliminate the excess bilirubin and regain their healthy newborn coloring.
