Original IT Governance Overview
February 2010
IT Alignment and Cost Reduction Workgroup
Sabah Randhawa, Provost and Executive Vice President (Chair)
Sherm Bloomer, Dean of Science
Gigi Bruce, Special Assistant to the Provost
Nancy Heiligman, Associate Vice President for Finance and Administration
Cheri Pancake, Professor, Professor of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science
Curt Pederson, Vice Provost for Information Services
Current IT Governance Issues
- Accountability for IT strategy is unclear and/or too distributed for success
- Funding strategic IT investments is difficult
- IT related decision making is unclear across organizational boundaries
- IT costs are currently difficult to assess, compare and control
- Current structure fosters competition for scarce resources more than collaboration on building critical capability
IT Governance Guiding Principles
- IT is an enabling capability for the core mission of the university
- IT needs in a university are diverse and IT strategies must address that range of needs
- IT will evolve as users adapt new technologies and IT structures must be able to evolve in response to those changes
- IT use in a university environment is highly distributed and IT strategies must coordinate those distributed elements with central services and infrastructure
- All participants in IT delivery must be accountable for the good of the whole enterprise
- IT should be user focused – and governance must include users
- IT governance must be transparent in process and decision making
IT Governance Goals
- Identify and prioritize IT strategies and investments critical to OSU's Mission
- Drive policies and strategies for IT implementation and cost management
- Improve IT Service Quality and User Satisfaction
Vice Provost's Role Going Forward
- Creates, builds, sustains a holistic IT enterprise for all OSU
- Accountable for overall success of OSU's information technology strategies, investments, and implementation
- Increased focus on…
- Maintaining a strong, strategic relationship to the IT Strategies Committee and the cross-cutting teams
- Omni-directional communication – keeping everyone informed of direction, progress, issues
- Increased collaboration on IT issues by developing shared expectations across an OSU-wide IT team
- Building OSU's institutional IT structure; examples include …
- improve IT funding transparency
- integration of the matrix governance structure
- lengthen the IT planning horizon
- improve accountability to IT users
Guidance for Core IS Infrastructure and Services
Guidance for when IT services are included in IS: details regarding core IS infrastructure and services and the cross-cutting teams will be finalized through discussions with the new IT governance committees over the spring term.
- Services critical to the safety and security of OSU's IT operational environment
- Infrastructure critical to supporting core and common services/applications
- Services where distributed expertise would make it difficult to achieve overarching IT strategies & goals
Infrastructure Services
- Telecommunications (e.g. telephone, voicemail, teleconferencing)
- Network provider relations and management of core wired/wireless networks, campus firewall, network authentication, directory services
- Management of remote access software
- Exchange service (or other admin-wide email), management of campus-wide listserv, webmail
- Spam filtering plus e-mail relay for academic cores that want/need alternative e-mail solutions
- Distribution of core workstation software affecting security (e.g. MS, Adobe, antivirus, encryption)
- Basic file storage/backup and email services for undergrads (may be extended by academic units)
Administration Services
- Enterprise-level business systems (e.g. Banner, SIS/FIS/HRIS)
- Emergency notification system
- Coordinated negotiations with hardware vendors
- Coordinated software licensing for products needed by 3+ academic units
- Coordinated building security monitoring and keycard access systems
Instruction Services
- Core coursework management systems (e.g. BlackBoard)
- Enhanced classrooms
Cross-Cutting Team Guidance
- Vice Provost is ultimately accountable for successful functioning of teams
- Members must operate at a broad level – e.g. broadly connected IT users and providers
- Individuals may be on more than one team to foster cross-team communication etc.
- Teams appointed by Provost
- maximum team size = 10
- balanced IT/USER composition
- Vice Provost participates regularly on each team
- Teams are primarily responsible for
- providing input for prioritizing cross-cutting investments
- developing operational strategies for implementing cross-cutting activities
- defining investment costs, analyzing and tracking expenditures
- tracking and reporting progress toward shared goals
- identifying requirements for optimum user support levels
- identifying/minimizing adverse impacts of new investments on existing systems
- identifying and encouraging opportunities for collaboration and leverage across IT service groups

Conan O'Brien asked Eric Church to make a playlist for his "Team Coco" account on the music streaming website Rdio. Wanna see what this years Countryfest headliner came up with?
When new country stars are hitting the road they play for small crowds and small rooms as they cross their fingers and hope to get a hit. Dustin Lynch has a hit with his song "Cowboys and Angels" as he gets set to play for free outside during our Countryfest street party on Pearl Street, July 7th starting at Noon in front of the TU Center.
Eric Church is on fire right now, his career is hitting new heights and he's got a lot to be thankful for as he gets ready to headline 1077 'GNA's Countryfest 2012 on July 7th at the TU Center.

With Countryfest quickly approaching on July 7, 2012, we are proud to announce that headliner Eric Church has hit No. 1 on the Billboard Country Singles chart!
Josh Thompson knows how to play country music from the heart. His songs are the kind of songs that you listen too and say "Damn right", or "Hell Yeah!". We're happy to have him as part of 1077 'GNA's Countryfest 2012 on Saturday. July 7th at the Times Union Center with Superstar headliner Eric Church, Joe Nichols and Thompson Square.

Country newcomer Dustin Lynch is making new fans every time country music lovers hear his debut hit "Cowboys And Angels". It is one of those songs that hits home, and you could actually imagine it being sung by an old outlaw like Waylon Jennings.
Eric Church is coming to town on July 7th to rock us all at 1077 'GNA's Countryfest 2012 at the Times Union Center with special guests Joe Nichols, Thompson Square and Josh Thompson. I found some really cool facts about Eric that you might not have known.

I'm enjoying a great family trip to Ireland and Norway as I type this post, and am sharing photos with friends and family through my Instagram account. This is my 4th trip to Ireland, and I greatly enjoy the people, the scenery, the vacation mindset while I'm here, and the beer. As you browse through my photos you'll see Irish scenery, photos of my wife and kids, and then the different beers I'm sampling on our trip.
Just like I'm picky about the beer I drink (you won't see me drinking fizzy yellow beer), I'm also careful about how I represent myself on my social media accounts. I know that I have several current students who follow me on Instagram, have a few school parents as friends on Facebook, and my Twitter account is open for anyone to see. While I am entitled to a life as private individual when I'm not at work, I recognize that I don't have a dual digital existence that excuses me from poor or questionable behavior in the digital world. Who I am in person is who I am online. There is no digital dualism for me.
You won't see photos of me making a fool of myself at a tavern (thankful for the lack of digital photography and social media when I was an undergrad). You won't see obscene language used by me in my social accounts. While I occasionally pay attention to the #beerporn Instagram tag, I don't use that term myself. The worst you might see from me in my digital activity is a #twss tag. You won't see me whining about or being unfairly critical of others. If I have a concern, need to vent, or share sensitive information, there are plenty of digital tools that allow that to be handled in a private manner.
One change that I've made in the past couple years with how I use my Instagram account occurred as the result of a good conversation with friend and doctoral cohort mate, Todd Norton. He noticed that I had photos of students from my school mixed in with some of my beer photos and asked if that ever caused concern for myself or others. There weren't any concerns that I was aware of, but he made a good point. How might someone feel if they saw a picture of their child among my beer photos? If they know me well enough, there probably wouldn't be any concern. However, I don't know all of my school parents and I'd rather err on the side of caution for this issue. As we learned on Ghostbusters, don't cross the streams. I deleted all my school photos from my IG feed and now use a Facebook pages account to share my school photos with my school community.
I know that this type of careful online behavior is common for educators, and this is done for a variety of reasons. Some people don't want to share their private life online, some want to avoid situations that might jeopardize their employment, but most of us want to be good role models for our students and children.
How I behave online (in person too) models how I would like to see my own two kids represent themselves and use digital technology. Learn a lot. Have fun. Be helpful. Be respectful.

Weathertight Homes Tribunal
The purpose of the Weathertight Homes Tribunal is to provide speedy, cost-effective and independent adjudication for leaky home claims brought under the Weathertight Homes Resolution Services Act 2006
All claims relating to leaky homes involve a two-stage process: assessment and resolution. The Department of Building and Housing (DBH) deals with the assessment stage and the Weathertight Homes Tribunal handles the resolution stage.
Claims over $20,000
If a home owner's claim is found to be eligible and the repairs needed are assessed at over $20,000, or the repairs made cost over $20,000, the claimant may apply to the Tribunal for adjudication.
Claims under $20,000
Claims for $20,000 or less follow a more streamlined process within the Department, but if a settlement is not reached this way the claimant may apply to the Tribunal for adjudication.

Actress Danielle Montezinos showcases her 'oddball' abilities in the crime-drama "Rob the Mob," from director Raymond De Felitta and set to select hit theaters March 21st.
Based on a true story, the film stars Michael Pitt (Boardwalk Empire) and Nina Arianda (Midnight in Paris) as a couple who, while brazenly stealing from mob-run social clubs in New York City, stumble upon something that puts them in grave danger and makes them the target of both the mob and the FBI. Danielle gets caught up in the action at as a offbeat office worker and rival of Nina. The film also stars Griffin Dunne, Ray Romano, Andy Garcia, Samira Wiley and Michael Rispoli.
This isn't Danielle's first time as the kooky character. Audiences will recognize her from her long-running stint Off-Broadway in the ever-popular "Tony and Tina's Wedding." She also appeared at several festivals in the staged rock musical adaptation of the comedy web series "Mother Eve's Secret Garden of Sensual Sisterhood"; and she co-created and co-starred in the comedy web series, "Asshole Approved."
We recently caught up with Danielle Montezinos to find out more about "Rob the Mob" and her 'oddball' talents.
Tell us about your role in the new upcoming film "Rob the Mob".
DANIELLE: I play Jumela. In the actual script I only had one line (it's ends up being a lot more then that!) and was thinking -- okay, just some random office lady. Cool. Then, I went in for my fitting and had 7 costume changes. SEVEN! I was like, whaaa? I soon learned that my character is basically Rosie's (Nina Arianda) nemesis at work. Jumela's an ex-con and dresses in the worst, ugliest outfits that are her Mother's clothes. Rosie loves to pick on me. Raymond (De Felitta) came up with this whole back story about her stealing her sister's baby, becoming a druggie and after getting out of prison getting this job while living with my mother. Really funny stuff. But basically, I work with Nina and Michael's (Pitt) characters. I am one of many strange office workers. I'm the Office Manager.
Do you usually play the "oddball"; and would you say it's "type-casting" or is this totally opposite of who your real-life personality?
DANIELLE: Yes, I do play the "oddball" often. But the difference in the situation is the costumes and hair. It's not my cutest looking role ever, if you know what I mean. I usually play a cuter quirky girl or obnoxious character. I have to say, I loved being all homely and ugly. It was really liberating and fun. Not having to care about what you look like. Though, I was in hair and makeup for over an hour each day. They really took they time to make my looks as odd as possible. I loved it!
As a character actor, you get the freedom to play those odd parts. I don't know if I'm typecast yet. I certainly think there is an oddness about me in "real life" but not that extreme. I'm also very grounded.
How was working with some of Hollywood's rising stars like Michael Pitt and Nina Arianda, but also a comedy veteran like Griffin Dunne?
DANIELLE: I loved working with them. I came on the last week of shooting and everyone was so welcoming. Nina was so giving. She really helped create a lot of what Jumela was. The first thing she said to me was -- "you're Newman to my Seinfeld." I was like, f@#$% cool! Nina and I improvised a lot. She's really giving as an actor. Michael is very intense and commits 100%, also very giving. I was pretty star struck when I met Griffin. He was super kind and fun to work with. Watching him was like a free acting lesson. He's a real pro. They all are. I got to improvise with all of them and it was a dream come true! I really had to hold my own with these powerhouses! I think it did :) I hope so anyway!
Any fun stories from set you can share with us?
DANIELLE: Fun story -- it was raining really badly the last day and we were shooting in Coney Island. It was the very last day of production and it had to happen. The rain was really bad -- they said it was from a tropical storm that just passed up from the Carolina's. I think it certainly added to the comedy of the scene but we were all soaked and just went for it. You pretty much stop caring at that moment. I remember walking through these puddles the size of lakes and improvising with Michael Pitt. At that point the camera was just going and we all were just making stuff up. I think we did it all in one or two really long, wet takes! I'm curious to see what they did with it in editing.
So, I have to ask…do you prefer comedy or drama?
DANIELLE: I love them both but I tend to gravitate towards comedy. I really enjoy making people laugh. It's my jam :) I feels very natural to me.
And lastly, how can your fans keep up with your career?
DANIELLE: People can check out my web site for updates: www.daniellemontezinos.com

Thank you so much for this opportunity!
Thank you, Danielle!

Comments about Nashbar Liner Shorts:
I prefer liners and my own choice of comfortable shorts over traditional bike shorts. These are the most comfortable I have found and are adequately padded without being bulky. I can ride all day with no discomfort. Also, the sizing is accurate. That's a real plus!
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Padding appears to be drawn onto shorts, no thickness whatsoever
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

By Bobblehead

I wear these under my regular cycling shorts for double the padding on the long haul.
They really are 3X.
By Deezl Smoke
from Hillsboro Oregon
These liner shorts fit a 3X size, unlike many others that are not even close, except the waste elastic band is cut wrong for 3X bodies. Otherwise, they fit an work well under the baggy shorts.
Great liner for the price
By Designerbiker
from Brooklyn, NY
See all my reviews
I had been looking for a well priced shorts option for a 10 mile daily commute, and short weekend rides with my wife. I am an avid recreational cyclist and normally wear high quality bib shorts for long distances. So I am accustomed to good fit and comfort - I will not ride in street clothes! These work perfect under any pair of shorts or track pant in cool weather. A lot for your money.
By Gary
from Buffalo, NY
I recommend washing these once to break them in before using. My second ride was considerably more comfortable then my first. I paired these up with the Nashbar Mansfield 2 tights that are on clearance, which worked well. Also used the liner shorts with a regular pair of gym shorts. Very comfortable and well priced.
I would buy this product again, and again.

reviews rightly suggested smaller size. Gives illusion of sliding down but better than larger size. Light weight but durable so far. Happy after using for couple weeks and cycling thru one wash.

Senior Garrett Myer Currently Sits In Sixth in the Decathlon at the Conference USA Championships
May 11, 2012
NEW ORLEANS - The Tulane track and field squad opened the 2012 Conference USA championships with a trio of student-athletes competing on their home track at Tad Gormley Stadium. Garrett Myer opened the decathlon competition, while the men's and women's squad each had one participant in a final on day one of the conference championships.
"Today was about Garrett Myer," said Tulane head coach Eric Peterson, "but we also had two freshmen, Geoff Zelek and Brenna Mossman, compete and they are gaining experience at the conference level, which gives them a great opportunity to finish the year off well."
Myer ends day one of the decathlon sitting in sixth place overall with 3.068 points through five events. The senior posted his best finish in the 100 meter with his second fastest time of the year at 11.48-seconds. He finished sixth in the long jump with a season-best leap of 6.38 meters and set another season-best when he cleared 1.68-meters in the high jump to finish seventh in the event. He posted another seventh place showing in the 400 meter, crossing the finish line in 53.69, and then grabbed eighth place in the shot put with a toss of 9.68-meter, another season-best.
"Garrett has been such a valuable athlete to our team," said Peterson. "He is a senior team captain his performance today was the best, first day that he's ever had in his career. He recorded season-bests in three of his five events today and competed very well today. He went into the 400-meters in sixth place and really set himself up nicely for a very strong second day. Hopefully, he'll come out and finish strong tomorrow."
Brenna Mossman was the lone competitor for the women's squad on the opening day of the championships, throwing the hammer. The freshman posted her second best throw of the season in her second attempt of the event with a 30.81-meters showing.
The finale competitor for the Green Wave was rookie Geoffery Zelek who competed in the 10,000 meter event for the first time in his young career. Zelek covered the distance in 35:25.29
"Our team is so young," Peterson said, "but we have improved in every single event area across the board. We want to see our kids really finish the year off strong. We have a lot of important preliminary races tomorrow and our opportunities to score are not really abundant, where in the events where we do have athletes competing we have good chances. I want to see continued to improvement, finish the year strong and for our team to be proud about how that represented the program here at home in the conference meet. "
Live video streaming of the championships will be available on Saturday on all 12 member institutions' All-Access players as well as the C-USA All-Access player beginning at 5 p.m. CT. A subscription is required to view the C-USA Live Streaming on Saturday. Fox Sports Network is set to televise Sunday's final events on tape delay.
Fans can purchase an all-session ticket for $20 for adult and $10 for youth (12-17 year olds) that is good for all three days of the championship. Single day tickets are $15 for adult and $6 for youth (12-17 year olds). Admission is free for children age 11 and under, and for students with valid ID cards who attend a C-USA member institution.

Are you physically limited? Got rocks where you want garden beds? We have rocks everywhere. When we first moved into our fixer upper home, we joked about the old owners having rocks in their heads. Now that we've had to remove a lot of them, it's not so funny. Especially now that I'm dealing with chronic pain. Rocks are heavy. They're cumbersome. Once they've been in place a while, they work their way into the ground. Digging the small ones out is a nightmare. It's not for the faint of heart. What can you do when there are rocks where you don't want them?
What's the easiest way to remove rocks?
Of course, the easiest way to remove rocks when physically limited is to get someone else to do it for you. It's OK to do that, you know? It can be hard to swallow when you're used to be in good health. Still, you have to realize things have changed. Don't be too proud to ask for help. Here's a few suggestions where to find it.
Hire a professional.
If you can afford to hire someone who specializes in this type of work, all the better. It'll certainly be done quickly and efficiently. A landscaper is a good way to go. On the other hand, if you're like me, you hate to dish out cash for such a simple job. You might want to use one of these other solutions.
Offer free rocks on Craigslist.
I know. You've perused the ads a few times yourself. You've seen ads offering free stuff for labor before. It wasn't worth the work to you. That doesn't mean it won't be to someone else. Place an ad on Craigslist that describes your situation. Here's an example.
"Physically limited retiree needs rock removed. Take what you need for free."
Don't forget to post a picture of the rock. Forget the phone number and e-mail. Make it easy for them. Just post the address. Leave a sign on the rock you want removed. It'll be gone in no time at all. If you're leery of strangers, you can even specify that they are not to disturb you.
Make use of young people.
I'm speaking from personal experience here. Since I've become physically limited, my older grandkids have been a real help. They do a lot of yard work for me. Rock removal is just one of the tasks they've done. Even the little ones help with light raking. Sometimes I pay them, but not always. It's good for them to develop a strong work ethic. It gives them a sense of pride.
What if you have to do it yourself?
*If you are not severely limited and have no other alternative but to do it yourself, take it slow.
*Don't lift large rocks that are beyond your capabilities.
*Use a shovel that suits your size to move the ones you can.
*If using a wheelbarrow to move the rocks, don't fill it too full.
*Test periodically to see that you can lift it.
*Take frequent breaks.
*Know exactly where you want the rocks before moving them. Otherwise, you'll be moving them again.
If that last part made you shake your head, don't laugh. I've actually been there.It happens.
What can you do with the rocks you remove?
When moving rocks for an alternative form of landscaping, don't be too quick to throw them away. We've re-used rocks on our property. Just be careful how you use them. Small rocks do work well in pots for drainage. They don't work well in garden beds. That's because when you go to amend the soil, they get tilled in and create a big mess. Put some thought into your re-purposing before you exhaust yourself with extra work.

Prince Badi Ajamu returns
Story & photos by Rick Scharmberg
Nearly three years removed from his bout with the great Roy Jones, and over two years since his last fight, Prince Badi Ajamu (23-3-1, 15 KOs) is coming back. He will face journeyman DeAndrey Abron (15-5, 10 KOs) in a 12-round light heavyweight bout this Friday at Resorts Casino Hotel in Atlantic City, New Jersey.
In his last bout, on January 19, 2007, Ajamu stopped veteran Craig Cummings in two rounds in Olive Branch, Mississippi. Before that, Ajamu went the distance with Roy Jones Jr. in Boise, Idaho back in 2006.
When he announced his retirement, months after the bout with Cummings, Ajamu had some promotional issues, and had difficulties securing a meaningful bout. He has since made some changes, and can focus on fighting again.
"I still have my old team in place, but some people who didn't really know boxing aren't around anymore," explained Ajamu. "I still have my own team in place, but it was the promotional aspect I was having a problem with. Now, I am working hand in hand with Dee Lee Promotions. There is a mutual respect. Diane (Fischer) respects me as a fighter and as a businessman."
Prince still trains occasionally at Shuler's gym in Philadelphia, but now fights out of R & B Boxing in Pennsauken, New Jersey, which is a lot closer to his Camden, New Jersey home. "I now have access to a gym where I don't have to drive too far, so I am getting more rest," said Prince. "The gym is spacious, and I have full access, and I can get some private sparring with no interruptions."
Prince's desire has returned, thanks to his new training arrangements. "Training is going pretty good. I am more content now, and I am getting back to what I got away from. My work ethic is back and I am working out more. I've trained more than seventy rounds so far for this fight," he said.
Prince has no fear of entering the bout with two years worth of ring rust. "I'm not worried about being rusty because I get a lot of rounds of sparring in the gym, even when I wasn't fighting."
DeAndrey Abron, of Columbus, Ohio will present other problems for "The Boxing Prince". Not only will Abron hold a three-inch advantage in height, he will be coming in on less than two weeks' notice. Ajamu's original opponent, Dallas Vargas, fell out with a back injury. According to promoter Diane Fischer of Dee Lee Promotions, they tried to secure Daniel Judah, but they could not make that fight either.
In steps DeAndrey Abron, who went twelve rounds in a losing effort against unbeaten reigning WBO light heavyweight champion Zsolt Erdei, in Dresden, Germany on April 26, 2008. In his last bout, Abron was stopped in four by Ajamu's longtime gym mate and sparring partner, Yusaf Mack.
"I remember him from the amateurs, said Ajamu. "I know that he fought the best guys, and that he is strong. I didn't realize he was six-foot-three, though. It will come down to a matter of styles. I know that Yusaf Mack stopped him. I did more boxing with Yusaf than anyone else over the years.
On April 24, 2004, Prince made the trek to Canada to face former WBO middleweight champion Otis "Magic" Grant, who, ironically, was in the midst of his own comeback several years after losing to Roy Jones Jr. In the seventh round of that bout, Ajamu hurt Grant, but Otis got a reprieve when the referee ruled that he received an accidental thumb to the eye, and allowed time for Grant to recover. Grant came back, and Ajamu suffered a heartbreaking, disputed majority decision loss.
Prince went on to win six straight fights, and then was selected as an opponent for Roy Jones, who was making a comeback after three straight losses, two by brutal stoppage. The bout took place at the Qwest Arena in Boise, Idaho.
Doing the logical thing against a fighter who was recently knocked-out, Prince jumped on him at the opening bell. He was able to pin Jones against the ropes, and rake him with an extended barrage of punches, but Jones, a future Hall-of-Famer, absorbed the punches and danced away. Jones went on to win a unanimous decision.
Ajamu was disappointed after the loss to Jones, but he was not discouraged. Six months later, he went on to stop Craig Cummings (53-6) in just two rounds. A short time later Ajamu announced his retirement from boxing. Now hat he has his professional and personal life in order, he is ready to resume his career.
In closing, Prince offered his expert opinion on the upcoming Roy Jones Jr. – Jeff "Left Hook" Lacy bout. "I'm picking Roy because I don't know if Lacy uses his legs as well as Roy. If Roy doesn't sit on the ropes where he can get caught, he will win."
The event will be held in the Superstar Theater, located on the Dining Level at Resorts Casino Hotel. Doors open at 7:30 pm, with the first bout scheduled for 8:30 pm. Tickets are priced at $90, $75, $55 & $40 and can be purchased in person at the Resorts Casino Box Office, by calling Ticketmaster at 1.800.745.3000.

Piccadilly Circus
Visit this famous London landmark and see the statue of Anteros.
London's Piccadilly Circus
Piccadilly Circus - at the junction of five busy streets - is a famous London Landmark. At its heart and backlit by colourful electric displays is a bronze fountain topped by a figure of a winged archer. The statue is popularly called EROS, the pagan god of love, but it was in fact designed in the 19th century as a symbol of Christian charity - a monument to Lord Shaftesbury, a philanthropist.
The sculptor was Albert Rupert and he used the fountain idea as an excuse for incorporating a variety of fishes and crustaceous life in the design. The fountain was unveiled in 1893, and was warmly described by the Magazine of Art as a striking contrast to the dull ugliness of the generality of our street sculpture, ... a work which, while beautifying one of our hitherto desolate open spaces, should do much towards the elevation of public taste in the direction of decorative sculpture, and serve freedom for the metropolis from any further additions of the old order of monumental monstrosities.' The actual figure rises above a fountain, which is made in bronze, but Eros is made out of aluminium, at that time a rare and novel material.
Piccadilly Circus is considered the most visited site in London and is a hub of activity from morning to night. People crowd around the steps of the statue known as Eros, the Greek God of Love (but really meant to be the angel of charity).
Piccadilly Circus is a good place to meet before heading off to eat, shop or go to area theatres. Soho isn't too far a walk from here and neither is Trafalgar Square. The fashionable stores of Carnaby Street are also nearby. The area is quite a sight in the evening, with colourful and brightly lit advertising signs illuminating the area, high above the streets. A trip to London is not complete if you do not visit Piccadilly Circus.

Nazzaro, C; Rizzi, A; Salvadori, S; Guerrini, R; Regoli, D; Zeilhofer, H U; Calo, G (2007). UFP-101 antagonizes the spinal antinociceptive effects of nociceptin/orphanin FQ: behavioral and electrophysiological studies in mice. Peptides, 28(3):663-669.

Nociceptin/orphanin FQ (N/OFQ) modulates various biological functions, including nociception, via selective stimulation of the N/OFQ peptide receptor (NOP). Here we used the NOP selective antagonist UFP-101 to characterize the receptor involved in the spinal antinociceptive effects of N/OFQ evaluated in the mouse tail withdrawal assay and to investigate the mechanism underlying this action by assessing excitatory postsynaptic currents (EPSC) in laminas I and II of the mouse spinal cord dorsal horn with patch-clamp techniques. Intrathecal (i.t.) injection of N/OFQ in the range of 0.1-10 nmol produced a dose dependent antinociceptive effect, which was prevented by UFP-101, but not by naloxone. In contrast the antinociceptive effect of the mu-opioid peptide receptor agonist endomorphin-1 was blocked by naloxone but not by UFP-101. Moreover, N/OFQ and endomorphin-1 induced a significant antinociceptive effect in wild type mice while in mice knockout for the NOP receptor gene only endomorphin-1 was found to be active. In mouse spinal cord slices 1 microM N/OFQ reduced EPSC to 60+/-4% of control values. This inhibitory effect was reversed in a concentration dependent manner by UFP-101 (pA2 value 6.44). The present results demonstrate that N/OFQ-induced spinal antinociception in vivo and inhibition of spinal excitatory transmission in vitro are mediated by receptors of the NOP type.

Miami Marlins: Guillen says Kearns opening eyes; Stanton homers
In his first game back after a quick jaunt home to Lexington, Ky., where he attended the birth of his son, Austin Kearns tagged his third Grapefruit League homer in a 4-1 Marlins loss to the Red Sox Saturday. Kearns is batting .360 (9-for-25) with four extra-base hits and seven RBI. Aaron Rowand, his chief competitor for a bench job, is wallowing with a .105 average (4-for-38).
"He's opening a lot of people's eyes," Guillen said. "I like what I see. We need another right-handed hitter off the bench. We need a right-handed hitter that can play the outfield. He's been playing pretty good this spring…Whoever is going to be the backup outfielder has to be ready. [Logan Morrison] had a knee injury last year. We have to monitor that and hopefully keep him healthy the most we can."
Guillen liked that Kearns did not play a couple of days and produced right away. Whoever is on the bench at some point will encounter those circumstances.
Asked about his spring so far, Kearns said: "I just treat every day the same, try to have some good at-bats and see what happens. You can drive yourself crazy worrying about the decision makers. Just play and see what happens."
Assuming Morrison and Stanton are ready to go for Opening Day, the Marlins will likely carry one right-handed and one left-handed hitting outfielder. Saturday, Guillen indicted Chris Coghlan was leading the way, calling him "the best of the bunch" in terms of how he was swinging the bat.
Coghlan is hitting .250 (7-for-28) with a walk and four strikeouts. Bryan Petersen, the other left-handed hitting outfiedler in camp, is hitting .229 (8-for-35) with six walks and seven strikeouts. Neither player has an extra-base hit in Grapefruit League play…
Morrison and Stanton both took at-bats during a backfield scrimmage Saturday. Stanton homered off Anibal Sanchez. Guillen said ideally both will be ready to play with their teammates on April 1 against the Yankees…
Randy Choate (oblique) pitched on the backfield as well and is scheduled to make his Grapefruit League debut Monday against the Tigers in Lakeland.

Jerome Zurek, Ph.D., communication department chair and professor of English and communication, says that in the 36 years he has been teaching at Cabrini College, he has looked forward to coming to work nearly every day.
Over the years, he has continued to learn and develop as an instructor and mentor, and finds inspiration by tapping into the energy generated by his students.
In 2005, Zurek was named Carnegie Foundation/ CASE Professor of the Year for Pennsylvania.
"I try to assist each student to excel beyond what they would ever believe they were capable of," Zurek says.
Zurek sets an example for his students through his 17-year involvement in service learning.
Zurek works closely with Catholic Relief Services on service learning projects. He initiated the Global Solidarity Network, a national coalition of students and faculty who are passionate about worldwide social justice issues such as immigration, genocide and poverty. He also tutored maximum-security inmates at Graterford Prison for more than 10 years.
Zurek's passion for social justice issues often makes its way into his classroom. He surprised students on the first day of class when, in an effort to spark discussion about fair trade, he asked two students to exchange the shirts off their backs.
The swap resulted in an examination of the shirts' tags and a lively discussion about fair trade policies.
His students have participated in a video conference with a coffee farmer in Guatemala and an upscale roaster in Minneapolis who purchases the farmer's beans. His students learned how paying a fair price for products from a developing country can improve lives in that country.
His students also experienced firsthand how coffee farmers in Guatemala earn a fair price for their beans when they visited the country in 2009, and again in 2010.

Urethral Swab
A Urethral Swab is a procedure where a sample is taken from the Urethra (tube inside the penis) for testing.
Why is a Urethral Swab done?
A Urethral Swab is done to test for STDs that cause Urethritis. This includes testing for Gonorrhea, Chlamydia, NSU (Mycoplasma, Ureaplasma, Trichomonas).Click here for more info on STDs
How is a Urethral Swab done?
A very thin cotton tip swab is inserted gently into the opening at the tip of the penis. It is then rotated gently and withdrawn.
The whole procedure only takes a few seconds.
In some Medical Centers, instead of a cotton tip, a plastic loop is used. This is usually inserted deeper and can cause more discomfort.
Is a Urethral Swab painful?
Most of my patient describe the urethral swab as 'uncomfortable but not as bad as they thought'. However, some people might find it painful.
Rest assured that when conducting the swab, I will be as gentle as possible to minimize any pain or discomfort.
How long will it take for me to know the results of my Urethral Swab?
Different tests require different times to run. Generally you should have the results in about a week.Click here to see the full range of our HIV/STD Services

I have been having trouble getting erections. So I vigorously masturbated about 3 days in a row just for confidence sake that my penis is ok. Today I felt a uncomfortable feeling at the tip of my penis and so I looked in my pee hole and if seemed quite red as though there is a cut on it. I have no discharge either. Could it be abrasion from rough and frequent masturbation or could it be UTI or an STD?
Dear Dr. Tan,
I currently have a urethral abrasion (inside urethra and also the side of my right meatus). Happened because of my stupidity wiping my urine till the internal side of meatus. Will this heal on its own considering the urine and nocturnal erection? please advise. I am deeply thankful for any feedback. I am std free.

Well, according to the experts consulted by The US News and World Report, it is the DASH diet: http://health.usnews.com/best-diet followed by the Mediterranean diet. However, in terms of ease to adhere to, the Weight Watchers diet came in first. The complete report is found at the above web page. By the way 40% of new members to diet and exercise programs enroll in January and like the snow in Indiana are mostly gone by the end of March. Do you have a favorite diet?

Time to jazz up the garden with plants, plants and—you guessed it—more plants. A limited palette of plants suit most any home, creating a somewhat monochromatic garden which requires limited maintenance.
Changes made:
- Curved gardens, replete with fresh soil, replace the mature hedges with new plantings
- New plantings create a solid mass that is taller at the outside corners of the home and shorter as they approach the door
- Varying colors add depth to the entire landscape

Hi everyone Sara here — I am here today with a very frugal and fun way to give a Starbucks gift card
Check out the video below to see how I put it together and the different ideas I have
{ 10 comments… read them below or add one }
very cute =]
lol.. watson in the background with miss piggy
cute idea – thanks for sharing
Very cute idea!
cute but I'd be afraid the recipient would just throw the paper away. How do they know there's something in the paper?
Cute Idea! When I say the pic of this on Pinterest, I thought it had something other than tissue paper inside. Well, that got me thinking… I have 2 daughters & 3 daughter(s)-in-law & this would be adorable with the "drink" being undies, socks or a scart (colored) & the "whip cream" being white undies or socks…??? Anyway, a fun gift idea. Thanx!
"saw" not say the pic..
Adorable idea!!! I will do that for two of my girls male teachers…..they will love it!!

Going through a book of probability problems and am working on the Sock Drawer Problem:
A drawer contains red socks and black socks. When two socks are drawn at random, the probability that both are red is 1/2. How small can the total number of socks be?
I got as far as setting up and constraining the event as a function of the number of red socks (r) and black socks (b):
$$\frac{r(r-1)}{(r+b)(r+b-1)}=\frac{1}{2}; \qquad r, b \text{ are nonnegative integers.}$$
I want to find the minimum $b$ analytically. In a practical situation I'd just loop through possible values of b or graph it, of course.

#1 Ranked Children's Hospital by U.S. News & World Report
MyPatients provides referring primary care providers with secure access to their patients' information.
Boston Children's has launched the world's 1st program dedicated to offering hand transplants to children who qualify.
Innovation insider is a semi-monthly e-newsletter analyzes innovations at Boston Children's, other academic medical centers and from industry.
Read the latest blog by a Boston Children's doctor, clinician or staff member.
There are many ways you can help children and their families get the care they need.
Whether your appointment is for an initial consultation or pre-kidney transplant preparation, planning ahead and knowing what to expect helps make the process easier and decreases your wait time.
Here are some important tips to keep in mind:
You should always arrive on time (or better yet, early) for any appointment. We want to give you, like every family we see, as much time as we can.
Your physicians and nurses, along with the scheduling staff, will often ask you to bring documents with you to appointments. These may include lab results, medical records or X-rays done outside of Boston Children's. Make sure you have these materials before you leave for your appointment or fax this information to us ahead of time.
For your first appointment, bring all of your child's previous medical records from other institutions, including X-rays, ultrasounds, CT scans and bloodwork.
Bring a copy of your child's updated immunization record.
Always keep your insurance information with you.
Appointments leading up to your child's kidney transplant can take several hours, especially at the beginning. We promise to keep you informed and engaged throughout your visit.
What will the appointment be like?
While each child needs different tests during the pre-transplant process, no two appointments are exactly alike. They will differ depending on your child's health, where he or she is in the transplant process and what information the team needs about his or her health.
You may see many different types of care providers during your child's appointment: nurses, physicians, dietitians, social workers, pharmacist, medical students and others. Each team member brings his or her own expertise to the process.
We will tell you in advance of each appointment what kinds of tests you can expect. Blood draws are very common, as are physical exams and imaging studies. We'll tell you how to prepare for these tests, but please don't hesitate to ask any questions.
If you have any questions about your appointment, call us any time. If we can't answer your questions right away, we'll talk to the team and get right back to you.
Call us at 1-877-TX4-PEDS (1-877-894-7337) or 617-355-7636.
The future of pediatrics will be forged by thinking differently, breaking paradigms and joining together in a shared vision of tackling the toughest challenges before us."

What happens to people that are convicted of crimes that are no longer considered criminal in the eyes of the law? That's the question eating away at everyone in America who has ever been busted for possession, raided for growing, orw stopped and frisked. So marijuana is legal, what now? Are records expunged? Will inmates be released from jail? Every year hundreds of thousands of people are busted for marijuana-related activities. Now, it seems only right that they get the record set straight to reflect the situation in America now.
In a petition for clemency for five of such men, our very own Michael Kennedy, lawyer and director of HIGH TIMES, argued that their sentences had become "irreconcilable with our present sense of basic fairness and justice" because of changing attitudes towards harsh sentencing, and the change in "beliefs about the benefits of marijuana and its potential for harm."
This has very real and serious implications for a large group of Americans at a time when they don't need to be worrying if that time they got caught with a joint is going to affect their prospects of getting a job. Yet, unfortunately many activists are staying away from the topic in fear that it will jeopardize the already difficult situation of getting marijuana legalized in general.
BBC UK explains that "in most countries, sentences would be reduced in the light of changes to the law, but not in the US. A report by the University of San Francisco found that it was one of just 22 countries, out of 193 surveyed, that did not provide for some type of automatic relief...Todd Clear, a sentencing expert and Provost of Rutgers University in Newark, says piecemeal initiatives can help reduce arrests and sentences. But he isn't expecting deep legal change. As he puts it: 'There's not much win there for a politician.'"
Prisons are overcrowded and underfunded. We do not need to be keeping these non-violent offenders incarcerated and we don't need to be preventing honest working Americans from getting jobs by keeping their records unduly tainted.

Tour de Fat, New Belgium Brewing's traveling festival of bikes, beer and bemusement, raised over $54,000, up 54 percent from last year, for Washington, D.C. bicycling nonprofits last Saturday, May 31. About 7,000 bicycle and beer enthusiasts came to Yards Park for the event.
Although it is free to attend Tour de Fat, proceeds from beer and merchandise sales and donations from bike parade participants went to local nonprofits. The beneficiaries this year, which are all focused on making the D.C. are a better place to ride, are Washington Area Bicyclist Association (WABA) (http://www.waba.org), Black Women Bike DC (http://blackwomenbikedc.tumblr.com), Fairfax Advocates for Better Bicycling (http://www.fabb-bikes.org), Mid-Atlantic Off-Road Enthusiasts (MORE) (http://www.more-mtb.org) and Phoenix Bikes (http://www.phoenixbikes.org).
"Tour de Fat was, once again, a great time to celebrate bicycling in DC," said Shane Farthing, Executive Director of WABA. "We're pleased that the event continues to grow, and we're especially excited that the funds raised will allow us to expand our advocacy and our youth and adult outreach programs this year. This event helps us reach people who might not otherwise know about WABA's efforts, and helps us fund those efforts."
A highlight of every Tour de Fat stop is the car-for-bike swap where one person commits to commute by bike for the next year. Kristin Jayd is this year's swapper from Washington, D.C.
"I'm so excited to be chosen as the inaugural Car to Bike Trader at this year's Tour de Fat," said Jayd. "I have fantasized about living car-free for a while now, and this is perfect timing! I'm so ready to make it happen."
Details from the event:
Saturday, May 31
Yards Park
7,000 bike-riding philanthropists (2,500 more attendees than last year); 750 bike parade participants
Money Raised:
$54,000 (up $19,000 from 2013)

3. Go nuts. Eat a handful of almonds and peanuts, which are high in magnesium and folate (folic acid). These nutrients are essential for energy and cell production. A shortfall of these nutrients in your system can leave you feeling tired and weary.
4. Cinnamon is your friend. Cinnamon isn't just for sprinkling into your apple pie. Research finds that just a whiff of this scented spice can reduce fatigue and make you feel more alert. No cinnamon handy? Grab a mint from your bag. Peppermint's sweet aroma is another fatigue fighter.
5. Take the stairs. Exercise is a natural energy booster because whenever you do it, oxygen-rich blood surges through your body to your heart, muscles, and brain. Regularly squeezing a workout into your day — even if you can only spare 10 minutes at a time — will help keep your energy levels at their peak. Get up and move every chance you get, even if it's just to pace around in circles while you're talking on the phone.
6. Let the sunshine in. When you go outside on a sunny day, it's amazing how quickly your outlook starts to change and your energy level improves. Research confirms that just a few minutes of walking outside on a warm, clear day enhances mood, memory, and the ability to absorb new information. Going outside can even improve your self-esteem. If you absolutely can't get out, open the shades and let some of that bright sunshine in.
7. Have a snack. Your brain needs fuel (otherwise known as glucose) to function at its best. When your blood sugar level drops, your mind will start running on fumes and will feel fuzzy as a result. So if you're getting a little shaky and your head is starting to droop, eat a snack that will give you enough energy to take you through the rest of the afternoon. Snacks that combine protein with slow-burning carbs are best for maintaining your blood sugar levels over the long-term. Good examples of energy boosters are a banana spread with peanut butter or granola with fresh berries.
8. Hang out with upbeat friends. Emotions are surprisingly contagious. People who are constantly negative and down can sap your energy, while those who are always up and excited can give you a real lift. Stay away from energy vampires. Instead, surround yourself with friends who share similar goals and interests.

Reviews for Christmas Mice Cookies
"These are so easy and everyone thought they were so cute! They were delicious, too!"
"I make these cookies every year. I use Archway Dutch Cocoa cookies - I put the cookies in a food processor. Once the cookie crumbs, sour cream and chocolate are mixed I refrigerate for a couple hours before they can actually be handled without a mess. These little treats CAN be frozen without any problem. Although the grandkids are getting older, they still love these little guys."
"These are so cute! I made them for Christmas this year. I couldn't find chocolate Nilla wafers so I used chocolate graham crackers."
"I made these at christmas time and they were a hit, I even made heart shaped ones for my hubby for Valentines day. And i plan to make again and again, LOVE EM.Used chocolate teddy grahams as the cookie since i can't find chocolate nilla wafers. And it's great!"
"made mine with choc-covered marchino cherries with stems, mounted on 1/2 sandwich cookie. SUPER HIT FOR ALL. ALREADY GOT REQUESTS BY COOKIE-SELLERS AT CHURCH FOR NEXT YEAR."

Robin Williams Victim of Death Hoax
Robin Williams is the victim of a new death hoax. A rumor that the actor and comedian died while filming a movie in Austria is spreading thanks to a fake report from the phony Global Associated News prank site. The bogus story claims Williams "fell more than 50 feet to his death in a remote area of the Hahnenkamm mountains." It is 100% false. Williams is NOT dead. He's alive and well.
Unfortunately, there seems to be no end to the Internet's sick habit of "killing off" celebrities with these rapidly distributed hoaxes and rumors. In recent months, Global Associated News also falsely pronounced Keanu Reeves and Usher "dead" as well. These disgusting death hoaxes need to stop.

UTHSCT president named to committee that will help choose leader of UT MD Anderson
Tuesday, January 11, 2011
AUSTIN – Kirk A. Calhoun, MD, president of The University of Texas Health Science Center at Tyler, is one of 12 people appointed to the committee that will advise The University of Texas System Board of Regents on the selection of the next president of the University of Texas M.D. Anderson Cancer Center.
Board of Regents Chairman Colleen McHugh named the members of the committee on Thursday, Jan. 6, 2011.
The committee will make recommendations to the board on possible successors to President John Mendelsohn, M.D., who announced Dec. 6 his plans to step down as M.D. Anderson president when his successor is installed.
Mendelsohn, who has served as the president of the institution for almost 15 years, will remain on the faculty as co-director of its new Institute for Personalized Cancer Therapy.
"Widely regarded and repeatedly recognized as the nation's top cancer center, UT M.D. Anderson serves a critical role in meeting the health care and educational needs of Texas, the nation and the world, and it has achieved international prominence for the excellence of its clinical, research and educational programs," Regents' Chairman Colleen McHugh said.
"The advisory committee includes outstanding representatives of all the constituencies of the institution, UT System, and the community and I am confident these individuals will do an excellent job of screening candidates as the search is conducted for this very important leadership position," she said.
The committee will be chaired by Kenneth I. Shine, M.D., executive vice chancellor for health affairs in the UT System.
Besides Dr. Calhoun, other advisory committee members are: Regents' Vice Chairman Janiece Longoria of Houston, Regent Printice L. Gary of Dallas, and David E. Daniel, Ph.D., president, UT Dallas.
MD Anderson-affiliated committee members are Edward F. Jackson, Ph.D., department of imaging physics; Louise C. Strong, M.D., department of genetics; Borje S. Andersson, M.D., Ph.D., department of stem cell transplantation; Robert C. Bast, Jr., M.D., vice president of translational research; Melinda Garza, president, UT MD Anderson Student Congress; Peter Hu, Ph.D., alumni and faculty association president; and Joel Helmke, division administrator, cancer prevention.
For more information, visit the UT System website.
For 60 years, The University of Texas Health Science Center has provided excellent patient care and cutting-edge treatment, specializing in pulmonary disease, cancer, heart disease, primary care, and the disciplines that support them. UTHSCT's annual operating budget of $125 million represents a major economic impact of over $287 million to the Northeast Texas region. In FY 2009, scientists in the Center for Biomedical Research were awarded 80 competitive grants and contracts totaling $14.6 million. As the academic medical center for Northeast Texas, its graduate medical education program – with residencies in family medicine and occupational medicine – provide doctors for many communities throughout the region and beyond.
