Does it work for depression?
Karen had been taking Zoloft for three years, but was having trouble with its side effects. Serzone didn't help, and Paxil (40 mg) only seemed to get her right back where she started - grateful to feel human again, but not at all happy with her excess sleep, weight gain, and loss of sexuality. Karen had originally turned to acupuncture for her flu and bronchitis, and found it worked wonders. Now she wondered if acupuncture could help her depression.
Acupuncture originated in China at least 2,000 years ago, and moved to the west in the 1970s as part of a greater awakening that included yoga, meditation, new diets, and other so-called alternative fare. At first, its availability was limited by the scarcity of practitioners, but now there are an estimated 20,000 certified acupuncturists in the US, and one third of these are medical doctors. According to FDA figures from 1993, Americans are making 9 to 12 million visits a year and spending as much as $500 million to have needles strategically placed along the invisible latitude and longitude lines of their skins.
To paraphrase from the National Institutes of Health:
There are more than 2,000 acupuncture points on the body connecting with 12 main and eight secondary pathways called meridians, which conduct energy - chi or qi - between the surface of the body and the internal organs.
According to the NIH:
"Qi regulates spiritual, emotional, mental, and physical balance. Qi is influenced by the opposing forces of yin and yang. According to traditional Chinese medicine, when yin and yang are balanced, they work together with the natural flow of qi to help the body achieve and maintain health. Acupuncture is believed to balance yin and yang, keep the normal flow of energy unblocked, and restore health to the body and mind."
A western interpretation would be that the acupuncture points stimulate the central nervous system, releasing chemicals into the muscles, spinal cord, and brain, promoting the body's natural healing abilities. In the words of the NIH: "Studies have shown that acupuncture may alter brain chemistry by changing the release of neurotransmitters and neurohormones in a good way."
An NIH consensus panel of scientists, researchers, and practitioners in 1997 determined that acupuncture has been clinically proven to be effective against nausea from surgery and chemotherapy, addiction, headaches, menstrual cramps, tennis elbow, fibromyalgia, myofascial pain, osteoarthritis, lower back pain, carpal tunnel syndrome, and asthma, and to assist in stroke rehabilitation. Since then, other studies have looked at pain, ADHD, pregnancy complications, and other diseases and conditions.
In 1996, the FDA approved acupuncture needles for use by licensed practitioners. Needles are either new or sterilized. Relatively few complications have been reported to the FDA, but bad results can happen from improper sterilization of needles and improper treatment. The needles are hair thin and don't cause the kind of pain associated with hollow hypodermic needles.
Fine, but does acupuncture work for depression?
In 1998, the NIH's Office of Alternative Medicine funded a study at the University of Arizona. Working with acupuncturist Rosa Schnyer, John Allen PhD devised a 16-week trial on 34 seriously depressed women. First the two worked up a standard treatment plan that targeted certain "depression points" on the body. Then they devised a dummy treatment calling for needles in nonspecific places. The acupuncturists administering the treatment had no idea whether they were using the real plan or the dummy plan.
Then the subjects were divided into three groups. The first group received the depression-specific acupuncture, the second group got the dummy treatment, and the third group was put on a wait list before being placed on eight weeks of the real thing.
Following the treatment, the depression-specific groups experienced a 43 percent reduction in their symptoms compared with a 22 percent reduction for the dummy group. More than half no longer met the criteria for clinical depression. Only five people dropped out of the study - two who moved away, one who became pregnant, and two who didn't like the needles. The dropout rate was much lower than for studies using medications.
Two advantages of acupuncture, Dr Allen told a seminar at the National Depressive and Manic Depressive Association Conference in Boston, include no language barrier (a factor for patients who have difficulty speaking English), and its low cost compared to conventional treatment.
Something better than low cost was an inducement for Karen. She was able to swap free sessions by giving piano lessons to the acupuncturist's son. On the advice of Dr Chen, her acupuncturist, she did not quit her medication. She began the treatment in May - never going more than once a week - and gradually, she says, she began to recover. "For a few days I felt a little better," she recounts, "then after that I felt bad days. But the better days got better oh so gradually and the bad days less bad."
Karen would lie on a table as Dr Chen put some needles into her ear, arm, and leg - always on the right side (except for a few needles in the other leg). One time he put the needles in similar areas on the left side. He would also point a heat lamp where he left needles in the leg. The needles prick, according to Karen, "just the littlest bit." Then she would remain on the table while Dr Chen left the room for 20 minutes. Finally, Dr Chen would take out the needles and rub some areas of the back and neck.
Karen thinks the first few visits were critical, but her follow-up visits were important, too.
In July, Karen switched to St John's wort before slowly reducing her Paxil in August (she is now down to 10 mg). According to Karen: "I believe both acupuncture and St John's wort have helped me. I think the acupuncture enabled the Saint John's wort to work more effectively. I like the idea of making the body work its best with acupuncture."
She goes on to say: "I have always had to take higher doses of any antidepressant in order to get the best results. Why not get my immune system working better so that I might not need such a high dose or, even better, take St John's wort instead with minimal side effects?"
Dr Chen, says Karen, works on the principle that it's all about helping the body's immune system function in an optimal way so that it keeps the disease in check, resulting in fewer bad symptoms. In Karen's words:
"The body takes time to heal and the acupuncture guides the body to heal itself. Heal from what? I don't think our bodies are working optimally. The body does its best under any circumstances but after years of medications, ravages of depression and stress, excesses in food and drink - sugar, chemicals, smog - acupuncture helps the body recover from these assaults. I have more respect for the working of the body now and the strength of it."
Now, after four and a half months, Karen feels ready to discontinue treatment. As well as easing her depression, she also credits acupuncture for helping her go off sugar. And there is the spiritual side: "I really believe in meditating on God. It spiritualizes the mind which in turn uplifts the mood. Regular meditation is important to me."
If you are thinking of acupuncture for yourself:
Your doctor is a good resource for referrals to licensed acupuncturists. You can also do a search for practitioners in your area at the websites of the American Academy of Medical Acupuncture.
Some 70 to 80 percent of insurers in the US cover acupuncture treatments. Cost per treatment tends to range between $30 and $100. Physician acupuncturists may charge more than non-physician practitioners.
Finally, if you are on medication, don't expect to flush your pills down the toilet after your first visit. This is a matter you will have to work out between you and your doctor or psychiatrist. Fortunately, Karen had an acupuncturist who recognized this. In her words: "I appreciated Dr. Chen's discretion in advising me about the medication. He told me that since he's not a medical doctor he couldn't tell me how much to take or when to quit. He just made me feel comfortable that the acupuncture would still do its job whether I went off the medication or not."

Historically, feeding livestock has been a major use of corn in Iowa. Recently corn-based ethanol plants have become another major user of Iowa corn. Competition for corn has increased. Questions about the amount of corn fed to Iowa livestock and the interaction of ethanol and livestock feeding have been raised.
The objective of this study was to estimate the amount of corn fed to livestock in Iowa and compare corn feeding to livestock with corn use by processing in the context of current and projected corn yields.
Current (2006) livestock production numbers for Iowa were multiplied by probable corn consumption per head of livestock to generate corn usage by species values. The corn consumption for livestock was based on ISU Extension budgets.
The total amount of corn fed to livestock in Iowa in 2006 was estimated at 607 million bushels (Table 1). According to Iowa Agricultural Statistics the total bushels of corn produced in Iowa in 2006 was 2 billion bushels. Therefore, Iowa livestock consumed about 30% of the 2006 corn crop. Iowa finishing pigs were the largest class of livestock consuming corn, approximately 340 million bushels, which is about 16.6% of the Iowa corn crop, or 55% of all the corn fed to livestock in Iowa. If sows and litters are included, corn feeding for swine in Iowa is about 370 million bushels or 18% of the Iowa corn crop, or 60% of all corn fed to Iowa livestock. In short, Iowa pigs consume 1 of every 5 or 6 bushels of corn produced in Iowa and consume more corn than all other Iowa livestock feeding combined.
About 70% of the Iowa crop was not fed to Iowa livestock; rather it was exported out of the state, processed into ethanol, corn sweetener, or other products such as pet food or other miscellaneous uses. This analysis shows that there is ample Iowa corn to feed Iowa livestock. The analysis methodology is a basis on which to develop an ongoing procedure to estimate livestock needs and thus evaluate increases in yield compared to additional processing capacity.
There is ample corn at present and future production levels to meet processing and feed needs in Iowa.
We expect this understanding to result in more policy and business decisions based on growth of corn supply rather than on allocation control of corn supply
When taken in connection with new feed ration balancing knowledge, the extension of this study will be to increase the activity of both the livestock and processing industries.

TC TO JEAN CARLYLE AITKEN ; 12 August 1857; DOI: 10.1215/lt-18570812-TC-JAC-01; CL 33: 19-20
Chelsea, 12 Augt, 1857
Dear Sister,—I got your Letter duly; and am obliged to you, as always: I get very little news from anybody out of poor old Scotland now except you.— It was very clever in poor Tom1 to recognise (with no face, I think, at all) in that Photograph! He has a quick judgement poor soul; if he can but make it into a sound one too, it may richly make amends to him for the other drawbacks he labours under.2 Poor fellow:—does he shew any sign of improved hearing yet? Perhaps in a year or time3 the really critical time of Yes or No will come.— On the whole there is nothing fatal to a Human Life, except Stupidity and Want of Truth; people have done a great deal of work witht even hands or feet, if only they were wise and true!— — The little view into the Garden you never saw elsewhere, for it was never taken before in any way.
I write this in the open air,—hot bright day, after rain last night and bygone days:—12th of Augt; many wretched "gunner-bodies" busy upon the moors;4 several of them about Craigenputtoch, I daresay. In old times I used to fly the place when this day came!5— — I have passed most of my summer heats under this awning, where at least there is no headache: but on the whole it is unfurthersome to be away from one's tool-box (3 pair of stairs to climb from this, every new Book I want);—having so very little strength, I feel as if I ought really to have "room" for it all. No complaints, however; bore away, under the given conditions: that is the only resource! Jane fairly getting on too, at a slow rate; and with endless trouble, day by day returning, and hour by hour: there is actually abt 150 pages of the unblessed stuff printed and off my back to all Eternity! If I can hold out for one other year— But it is an outlook still that makes me shudder, in some humours!
Jane is coming across from Auchtertool to her Aunts at Edinr tomorrow (Thursday): she is to stay there probably "a week"; then back to Haddington to take leave of her old Ladies (too possible never to meet again, for they are above 80, the eldest nearer 90, I think): after whh, home again,—I guess she may be with me again before the end of this month or soon after it. She is not for Dumfriesshire at all: she is very weak, poor little soul,—sleeps badly &c &c;—in short now that the fire of the heat is over here, she thinks she may be better at home. I always flatter myself she may feel, on returning and summing the thing up, that she has sensibly improved: but there seems little gain from day to day as yet. Her Aunts's Address is: "Misses Welsh / Craigen Villa, Morningside / Edinr,"—if you shd have any notion to write to Jane. But you need not, if not drawn to it by some wish or opportunity.— — Could you, some time (during Jane's time will now be impossible), ascertain from Mary— [Message is enclosed on a separate patch of paper;6 much my habit at prest to go on such patches!]— — I send my kind regards to James & the Household. Ever your affecte

Bro. Clark:
Having to write to you on business, I have concluded to drop a few thoughts upon the commission as given (Matt. xxviii. 19. 20), "Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world." Christ is the King and the lawgiver in Zion, and has fixed and established a definite and specific polity or government in his church, and has forbidden any change in the doctrine, polity or ordinances of his kingdom. Human governments are progressive; one generation may improve upon the defects of the past. But not so with the government of Messiah, he is the same yesterday, today, and forever, and the laws, doctrine, polity and ordinances of his kingdom are fixed, unalterable, and perfect, and will not admit of a change. The commission is a specific law. It teaches the observance of a specific class of commands. This class is all things that Christ himself has commanded, and nothing else. This prohibits the teaching of the commands of the Pope, councils, synods, boards, conventions, or any other man, but specifies that they must "preach the gospel," not the traditions of men, human means, or agencies-but the "gospel," which is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believes. It is a fundamental principle in our common law, that where one thing is specified, every other thing is forbidden. The maxim of the law is this: Expresslo unius est exclusio alterius. The specification of one thing is the exclusion of everything else. This is the most important principle in the civil code, and nothing can be determined in law without it. This rule is easily applied to the commission, and every one must see its force in a moment. Christ says, "baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost." Who will not admit that we are here forbidden to baptize in any other name, as Moses or Paul? All would agree that he was a blasphemer who would baptize in the name of men or angels. Paul thanked God that he baptized none of them Corinthians, save Crispus and Gaius and the household of Stephanus, lest some should say that he baptized in his own name. It is equally clear that believers, and believers alone, should be baptized, "He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved." To baptize any other character is an act of rebellion against the law of Christ, and he who does it tramples the authority of Christ under his unhallowed feet. But, we are to teach them to observe all things that Christ has commanded. This includes the doctrine, polity and discipline of the church, together with practical piety, and the internal teachings of the Holy Ghost. He that would negative any doctrine taught by Christ is a blasphemer. God has declared that, "Thy Maker is thy husband, thy Redeemer, the Holy one of Israel." Then he, that teaches that the church is as old, and was created in and simultaneously with Christ, negatives the teaching of God, and is as clearly a violator of God's law as he that would baptize an unbeliever, or would baptize in his own name. God by is inspired servant has taught that, "There is one God, and one Mediator between God and man, the man Christ Jesus." He that teaches a third nature that is neither God nor man, negatives this positive teaching of God, and we are told not to invite such into our house, or bid them God speed. Christ has declared, "I and my Father are one." He that would separate them, and teach that Christ is a created, delegated inferior personage, is an anti-Christ, and denies both the Father and the Son. Christ teaches that a man must be born again. It is therefore presumptuous, and anti Christian to teach a doctrine denying the necessity of this important change in the sinner. Christ has declared, "I lay down my life for the sheep. To preach that the sheep all died when he died, would negative the teaching of Christ, and, to say the least of it, would make the elect copartners with Christ in the great work of redemption, which is positively denied by the word of inspiration, which says, "of the people there was none to help," but his own arm brought salvation.
Doctrinally we are forbidden to teach ought but what Christ has taught us. Practically we are to observe all of Christ's commandments, and teach others that if they keep his word, they shall abide in his love. To fear God and keep his commandments is the whole duty of man, and anything beyond this is rebellion. Love is the great commandment, and we should love one another without dissimulation, abhor that which is evil and cleave to that which is good. Husbands should love their wives, wives should obey their husbands, children and servants should obey their parents and masters. Christians should not forsake the assembling of themselves together; should not be covenant breakers, should be slow to do evil, but swift to good, should not say to the poor, be ye clothed and be ye fed, and send them away naked and hungry; in a word they must observe "all things" which Christ has commanded. "The secret of the Lord is with them that fear him," and we must be "born again," be new creatures in Christ, be taught of the Father, before we can serve God acceptably. For our holy life and conversation are only outward evidences of the holy principle implanted in the soul by the Holy Ghost in the work of regeneration. By keeping the commandments will give evidence to others that we are the children of God; but we have God's Spirit bearing witness with our spirits that we are born of God. This internal witness is the great Comforter of the saints while traveling through this wilderness of sore conflicts and deep distress. It is the spirit of adoption whereby we cry Abba, Father, and as many as are sons are led by that Spirit and rejoice in Christ Jesus and have no confidence in the flesh. Repentance towards God, and faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, are fruits of the Spirit, and evidences of our saved state. To experience a daily warfare, the flesh warring against the spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh, so that we cannot do the things we would, are evidences of the new birth. To abhor ourselves and to confess our sins before the Lord, are evidences of a gracious state. In fact, God's people are a poor and afflicted people, but they shall eat and lie down, for God will lead them beside the still waters, and cause them to lie down in green pastures.
Experimentally, Christians shall all be taught of the Lord, and great shall be their peace. In teaching all things which Christ has commanded, the Christian will be confirmed in doctrine, instructed in the discipline and polity of the church-his practical duties will be pointed out, and the internal evidences of his Christianity will often be described, and the soul comforted, and fed upon the sincere milk of the word. O that brethren would read the commission often, and never forget the specification, "Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you," and learn from that that all human speculations, systems, and plans are positively forbidden. "Preach the word;" take heed to yourselves and the doctrine; teach the things that become sound doctrine, and continue in them, and in so doing you shall save yourselves and them that hear you. May the Lord save us all from error, is the prayer of your brother in Christ.

For companies like Virgin Airways, IBM, and a host of "green" brands, the color they have chosen is no less deliberate, strategic and manipulative, than moves in a high-stakes game of chess. Color as a vehicle for power and influence is ancient. Take for example the Mayan civilization. Though much remains a mystery about Maya cosmology, anthropologists believe that they believed the world was flat and four-cornered and that each corner had a corresponding color: red - east, white - north, black - west, and yellow - south, with green at the center.
While your company may not have plans to erect a pyramid anytime soon, the legacy that you will leave can be greatly augmented by the careful consideration of color scheme in your brand design. This is particularly the case in our information-saturated and ADD-ridden society - color can aid in memory recall, stimulate the senses, and convey meaning at the most subliminal and primal levels. For this reason, the color choices of large companies are consistently based on color psychology, rather than an executive's favorite color.
A business' signage is the first point of contact and brand ambassador for customers or clients, consequently, corporations and savvy small to medium-sized business owners invest a proportionately appropriate amount on the color for their signage. Advertising campaigns like those of Apple's notebook, in assorted colors, display the persuasive potency of color in graphic design and consumer engagement.
To choose your foundational colors, you have to know the themes that certain colors evoke and match those to your company's theme. Spas and restaurants choose warm colors (peaches and light oranges, variations of reds and yellows) because of their soothing and relaxing qualities. Another element in proper color choice is visibility - how much or how little do you want to create. Contrasting a light color on a dark background or vice versa creates dimensional depth and attracts more attention than variations of complementary colors. Different cultures will assign different values to colors, but we'll look at some of the values that are universally associated with primary colors in the U.S.
Colors can be broken into two categories: warm and cold. Trustworthy, reliable, secure. Blue, commonly associated with these properties and is the color of choice for many financial institutions (Chase, Citigroup, etc.). Like waving a red flag in front of a bull, the aggressive, provocative, and compelling energy of the color red is a popular choice for companies that wish to make a striking and immediate impression. Associated with health, vitality, freshness and tranquility, green is an attractive color for companies that provide health-oriented products/services (i.e., organic products, holistic healthcare supplies and produce) and those that wish to capitalize on the good feelings the color evokes.
Getting Started
If you have an established color for your brand, you'll work with that. But if you don't, consider the emotional triggers that underlie the purchasing patterns of your particular clients. Is it a product/service that can correspond to desire (orange, yellow or red), or one that responds to sensibility and practicality (brown)? Does it involve a high degree of personal investment and require trust (blue), or is it something that can have healthy lifestyle associations (green and/or blue). Whatever your choice, make sure that the background color or graphic stays in its place - the background - and doesn't overwhelm the core message of your signage. And, for maximum elegance with minimum investment, opt for a black-white combination.

The recent decision by the Supreme Court of the United States of America that the limits on individual contributions to political parties is unconstitutional now means that America's slide from a nation of equals to a nation ruled by the wealthy will continue. This decision, which denies poor and middle class Americans the same influence as the wealthy in the political process heads us down the same road as Russia and China and every other oligarchy. In fact, we are already there. We just like to fool ourselves that we are not.
When the Supreme Court decided that a corporation, which is not a person for the purpose of elections, could be counted as a person for the purpose of lobbying, then the floodgates were opened. The rich, who do not speak for every employee or shareholder in their corporations, get to use their corporate leverage for selfish political gain. They do not care about the opinions of the majority as a democracy demands. They only care to bully others and push their own opinion through. We call that an oligarchy, not a democracy.
The Bible is quite clear about a society where the wealthy have all the power. The wicked boasts of his heart's desire. He blesses the greedy and renounces the Lord. (Psalm 10:3) When the greedy of our land are blessed with greater control over the country's affairs, then who do we think will benefit from legislation? Who do we think that legislation will favor? Who do we think that elected officials will listen to? They will listen to wherever the money comes from that gives them the greatest odds of re-election, of course. That is no news. It is history. But, it is also our future, unless somebody realizes that the constitution was misinterpreted.
Is it any wonder that Job warned that God would make fools of judges (Job 12:17)? An oligarchy is doomed to destruction from within. It happened in Venice. It happened in every society where the middle class was made poor by the rich. Greed destroys.

The present church was opened on March 23, 1912, attended the ceremony of the King of Spain, Alfonso XIII and Queen Victoria Eugenia. Built by the parish priest Don Ceferino Vahillo Felipe, plans and execution of the works were performed, respectively, by architects D. Lorenzo Capra and D. Alvarez Dimas Rodríguez Izquierdo.
The architectural style is Mudejar Gothic elements together. The surface area of ??the building is 756.84 meters square and the plant has a Latin cross. The windows emblazoned shields hold its donors, most notably the papal and five of the royal family on the altar.
In 1978, with Pastor Don Jesus Fernandez Higueras, and under the direction of architect Antonio Culebras Abalos, is a reconstruction of the temple and its adaptation to the new ministry of the parish, in the spirit of Vatican II. As Paul VI in 1976 catechesis, "our time needs to resume the reconstruction of the Church, psychological and pastoral, almost as if it started again, from scratch, so to speak, to regenerate through this human-divine order ' .
Because only when entering the parish church of the Virgen de la Paloma is received catechesis through the signs that are in its structure. The first thing we see is through the door that has completely changed the situation of the faithful inside the temple. Now form an assembly around the Eucharistic table and baptismal font, which facilitates its incorporation into liturgical celebrations, they in turn becoming a sign of communion and unity of the Church.
Near the door, as a first step to enter the Church, is the baptistery or baptismal pool. It has within it a cross, because the cross of Christ were saved, and an octagon at its outer edge, biblical figure of the fullness of the glorious eternity that comes through the cross and resurrection . It feeds this pool of water that flows from the side of the rock, symbol of the Water of Life. It comes down to it by seven steps, seven deadly sins, the reality of fallen man, down to the bedrock, which is Christ. In the waters of the pool is buried the man of sin, died in the death of Christ, hence the black stone broken by the Cross of Christ and resurrected with Christ to eternal life as a new creature coming out of the living waters to climb the seven steps, symbolic of the gifts of the Holy Spirit, we have to break the Eighth Day, whose anticipation and foreboding is the Eucharist.
Such were the baptistery of the first centuries of the history of the Church, in which baptism is administered by immersion, which received all the ritual expression of death-resurrection. This was administered in the parish on the night of the Easter Vigil. And as faith, that Baptism starts to give us eternal life, comes from the Word of God, in the baptistery, surrounding the pool, are present the four evangelists, gospel voice, announcing the Good News.
In the center of the temple is the Eucharistic table, as wide as all surprised when they visit for the first time La Paloma. This underlines the sign and is present to the faithful who are all sitting around a table, celebrating and sharing the same food and the same drink, according to the Lord's command. So the faithful understand that they are having a party, the Lord's Supper, and that we can only be integrated together as much as possible at this event, in common-union.
Beyond stands the chair of the Word of God. The parish is "receiving community, lives and proclaims the Word of God." The Church gives us the Word, who is present, current and operational, whenever proclaimed, responding to the needs of today and each of those who listen. The Word of God has always introduces the Eucharist and the other sacraments. Word comes by faith. The Word is powerful to transform the lives of those who create it. So, the first commandment of the chosen people begins imperiously: "Hear O Israel":
The background and chairing the meeting, the presbytery. As President, extension of the bishop of the diocese, the parish priest. The renders Christ, Head of the Church.

Feb. 6, 2013
TUCSON, Ariz. – After several successful performances in January, freshman Bonnie Brandon was named Pac-12 Swimmer of the Month and junior Samantha Pickens earned Pac-12 Diver of the Month, Commissioner Larry Scott announced on Wednesday.
Brandon earned nine first-place finishes and helped the Wildcats to a pair of team victories, including an upset of No. 3 California, in January. The Centennial, Colo. native won four events in a quad meet against Oregon State, New Mexico State and Northern Arizona to kick off the month. She posted winning times in the 100 back (55.70), 200 back (2:01.30) and 500 free (4:58.28) and was a member of the winning 400 free relay team (3:18:33). She followed it up with solid outing against Cal, winning the 1000 free (9:55.51) and the 500 free (4:50.57). In her final meet of the month, Brandon won both the 500 free (4:49.87) and 1000 free (9:53.53) against Stanford. She was one of just two Arizona swimmers to win multiple events on the day.
It was Brandon's first monthly honor and the third award for the Cats already this season. Sophomore Kevin Cordes won the monthly honor in both November and December.
Pickens, a native of Murrysville, Pa., won five events in January, the first of which came at the Bruin Diving Invitational. She won the 1-meter event with a score of 575.95 after posting a preliminary score of 282.60 to lead the field at the break. She also helped the Wildcats to a split in dual meets against No. 3 California and No. 8 Stanford, sweeping the 1-meter and 3-meter events in both meets. In an upset of Cal, Pickens won the 1-meter event with a score of 343.73 and turned in a score of 289.35 in the 3-meter event. She added first-place finishes in the 1-meter (300.38) and 3-meter (317.85) events against Stanford.
For Pickens, it is her second monthly honor and Arizona's fourth all-time. Pickens last won the award the same week last season. Former Wildcat Ben Grado is the only other Arizona diver to win the monthly honor.
The Wildcats, along with postgraduates from Tucson Ford Aquatics, earned a total of 15 gold medals at the AT&T Winter National Championships. In addition, they broke nine meet records, three American records, three school records, two U.S. records and an NCAA record.

Editor: It appears that Thomas Sowell, a senior fellow at the Hoover Institution of the prestigious Stanford University and a syndicated columnist frequently featured in the Record, is against gun regulation (of any kind?).
He dismisses those in favor of such regulation as either innocent or dogmatic ignoramuses (Record 12/20/2012, "Invincible ignorance") and attempts to show this by correlating the degree of stringency of gun control with murder rates in different countries. This is not only rather rude of him but his arguments don't hold up, so who is ignorant?

Super Bowl XLVIII: dumb seachickens
The last time I spoke about the Super Bowl, I didn't have much to say about it other than I wasn't all that interested. For the past 2 years I have lived in New Zealand, I really didn't get involved at all. This year, I must admit that I started to miss it just like I've been missing quite a few American things lately which I normally wouldn't be all that excited about.
So this year I went to a friend's house who was having a Super Bowl party and watched the game. I must admit that I was rooting for Denver so I spent a majority of the game being angry. I was disappointed that the game I finally chose to watch was overall a pretty boring game, especially for a Super Bowl.
My favourite part? Renee Fleming.
She pretty much won the Super Bowl.
Best national anthem I have heard in my entire life. It took my breath away. #SuperBowl
— Caity ♪♫ (@caitysparkles) February 2, 2014
I texted my dad asking what he thought.
His response? "You're better."
Not true but still adorable.
My friends and I all were pretty shattered by half time. We were not expecting much from the half time show because… was Bruno Mars going to sing us a lullaby and calm us all down or something? I must admit I was actually pretty impressed. That could be because my expectations were low, though.
Bruno Mars was actually way better than what I expected. #BrunoMarsOnSuperBowl #SuperBowl
— Caity ♪♫ (@caitysparkles) February 3, 2014
This was probably my favourite tweet of the day. We proceeded to sing the song every time the Broncos gave up the ball. This was unfortunately a lot.
The chili peppers? They just sang all about the broncos mantra for this game. #giveitawaygiveitawaygiveitawaynow
— Stephen Battey (@sbattey_) February 3, 2014
I am glad that I watched the Super Bowl. Everyone also loved the nachos that I made.
Tomorrow the students start school. So far it has only been staff meetings and department meetings. I am looking forward to seeing them again. Come at me, 2014! I'm ready for you!

The thing I am worried about is that if I buy it, I won't be able to find decent SD ammo in a couple years. Practice?, I'm no so worried about b/c by summer I plan to be reloading, just bulding up the knowledge base before I take the plunge on equipment. Also how hot can these be loaded? Can you get ballistics on par with a .38?

text: When the Denver Broncos drafted hoopster-turned-football player Julius Thomas they had visions of him following in the footsteps of greats -- like Antonio Gates and Jimmy Graham -- who went from balling on the hardwood to scoring on the gridiron. Unfortunately, injuries derailed those plans, as Thomas missed all but nine games during his first two NFL campaigns. To date, he has a lone reception (back in 2011) to his name, and he currently has veteran TEs Joel Dreessen and Jacob Tamme ahead of him on the depth chart. However, both of them are nursing injuries, and Thomas has looked sure-handed thus far in the preseason, catching all eight of the passes targeted for him in the first two preseason games for a total of 105 yards. On Saturday, he reeled in four of his six targets for 18 yards.

Established in 1989, the Universidad Carlos III de Madrid has become one of Europe's preeminent public universities, and after receiving the European Campus of Excellence award in 2010 is now recognized as one of Spain's most rigorous institutions of higher education. Apart from being a public university that has adopted a U.S.-style academic calendar, it also has one of the highest percentages of full-time and tenured women faculty in Spain. The university is the educational center for some 20,000 students, with 4,000 students attending programs at the Getafe campus located in the southern metropolitan area.
Study abroad students can choose to live in either homestays or in shared apartments with other CIEE students and a local Spaniard. Students living at homestays will be placed in single rooms; students living in shared apartments may be placed either in single or double rooms.
Homestay hosts have various backgrounds and are actively involved in the community. Homestays can range from living with numerous family members to living with a single individual. Selection is based on information provided by the student´s housing questionnaire; some homestays can be shared with another CIEE student, but each student will still have an individual room.
All homestays provide breakfast and another meal (usually dinner) seven days a week. Any meal not provided by the host is at the student´s expense. Students will have access to a kitchen so that they can prepare snacks or their own meals. Past students have also purchased meal tickets from the university cafeterias or used other food options on campus at affordable prices. All homestays have washing machines for the student´s use at no extra charge.
Shared apartments with other CIEE students and a local Spaniard are assigned on a first-come/first-serve basis, and availability is limited. Utilities, regular cleaning, laundry facilities and wireless internet access are included. Meals are not included, but students share fully-equipped kitchens where they can store and prepare their own meals.
All housing placements are in central Madrid with an average commute of 40 to 60 minutes to the university campus, and a shorter commute to the CIEE study center.
Academic year study abroad students have the option of living in a non-CIEE apartment during their second semester. It is required that they share the apartment with other Spanish-speaking roommates. Students who choose this option are responsible for finding, leasing, and managing the apartment on their own and independently of the student housing program. Prior approval by the housing coordinator and resident director is required.
You'll begin your study abroad experience in Madrid even before leaving home by participating in a CIEE online pre-departure orientation. The resident director meets with students online and shares information about the program and site, highlighting issues that alumni have said are important, and giving you time to ask questions. The online orientation allows you to connect with others in the group, reflect on what you want to get out of the program, and learn what others in the group would like to accomplish. CIEE's aim for the pre-departure orientation is simple: to help you understand more about the program and identify your goals.
During the mandatory weeklong on-site orientation you will be introduced to the city, culture, and academic program. Orientation also provides practical information about safety and security while living in Madrid, and includes both structured activities and independent sightseeing. You'll have the opportunity to meet local peers through CIEE's Spanish Student Network. A diagnostic language skills examination will also be conducted at the university to determine your linguistic level, ensuring you are placed in the appropriate language courses. Ongoing support is provided by CIEE staff on an individual and group basis throughout the program.
You are encouraged to bring a wireless-enabled laptop. All CIEE accommodations provide Internet access. In addition, the university campus has a public wireless Internet service, and you'll have unlimited access to an extensive network of computer workstations and labs for class-related activities on campus. Students receive an individual university email account and full access to Aula Global, where they can check their course registration and grades as well as professors' notes and additional course materials. CIEE Study Center also has Internet access available for your use.
The academic study abroad program is supplemented with required cultural activities, field trips to points of interest in the Madrid metropolitan area, and one weekend excursion. The local cultural activities may include visits to places such as museums, Congress, Parliament, the High Courts, or guided tours of the historic district. Day excursions maybe planned to places such as historic Toledo to explore its Jewish and legal heritage, the Monastary of El Escorial, the Roman architecture of the city of Segovia, the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Alcalá de Henares, or the Royal Palace and gardens of Aranjuez. CIEE also offers a weekend trip to another region in Spain. Past trips have visited Bilbao, Burgos, Granada, Sevilla and Valencia. These activities supplement class work and introduce you to the rich diversity of the geographic, linguistic, and cultural areas of Spain and its major cities.
The university's Espacio de Estudiantes organizes a number of cultural and sports activities in which you are expected to participate alongside Spanish students. You can choose from basketball, hiking, regional excursions, theater, dance, music, orchestra, rock climbing, kayaking, swimming, aerobics, and much more.
CIEE, in collaboration with the University's Aula de Idiomas, organizes conversation exchanges (Intercambios) between Spanish students at the Universidad Carlos III and CIEE participants. Intercambios give you the chance to put into action what you are learning in your language course, meet your Spanish peers, and set up individual language activities. You may also participate in the American English Language Exchange (AELE) conversation practice sessions that will help you meet Spanish peers and develop your intercultural and teaching abilities.
The CIEE volunteer program collaborates with local schools, associations, and outreach programs giving you the opportunity to volunteer in the local community.
In conjunction with the Universidad Carlos III de Madrid and the CIEE Spanish Student Network, CIEE coordinates a series of non-credit workshops each semester dealing with personal development while living abroad. Some workshops are open only to CIEE study abroad students, while others allow interaction with Spanish students and invited speakers. Past workshop topics have included culture shock, dating across cultures, race and identity issues, eating well and basic cooking methods, stress management, job interview skills, and re-entry at the end of the semester.
A for-credit internship with a legal focus is available to you with the purpose of immersing you in local work practices within the legal arena in order to acquire direct, hands-on experience in the field. On-site work is complemented by a solid academic component with regular seminars, tutorials, and office hours.
The CIEE Legal Studies program is designed for students with limited Spanish language skills up to advanced Spanish language students who are highly motivated to enroll in coursework related to law, political science sociology (taught in English or Spanish), and a Legal studies internship in Madrid.
The Law Department at the Universidad Carlos III de Madrid offers various degree programs with a total enrollment of nearly 1,200 students. All courses are held in classroom buildings on the Getafe campus. Courses are academically challenging, dynamic, and involve daily reading and homework assignments, as well as required attendance at lectures. The size of regular university courses varies from 25 to 80 students. University classrooms are modern, comfortable, and equipped with the most up-to-date technology used for instruction. Students undertaking an internship meet regularly with the course coordinator and other CIEE students, but participants spend the majority of their internship for credit with an individual supervisor at the practicum site.
The CIEE courses offered in the fall semester begin in late August and end in December. Students enrolled in regular courses in the Law Department during the fall can arrange to take early exams in December. The spring semester program begins in late January and runs through late April or late May. Any extended travel should take place prior to the start of the program, during vacation periods, or upon completion of the study abroad program.
Participants take regular university courses with Spanish and international students. The required core course, Law in Contemporary Spain, or The Politics of Legal Language(for students with advanced Spanish) are taken with other CIEE students.
In all courses, students are graded on class participation, in-class activities, homework assignments, examinations, papers, and/or oral presentations, similar to standards in the U.S. Numerical grades are given based on a 10-point scale and converted to a U.S. letter grade.
Regular university courses are taught by faculty from the Universidad Carlos III de Madrid.

Law in Contemporary Spain
This class examines the European Union and Spanish legal systems and looks at the different branches of law as they compare to those in the United States.

The course explores abstract functions of language such as expressing opinions, resolving conflicts, formulating complaints, making an argument, and negotiating with another party, especially as it pertains to courts, disputes, and conflict resolution. Grammatically, emphasis is placed on the correct use of the tools needed to achieve these aims: complex aspects of the various past tenses, the full range of subjunctive and conditional moods, and formal and informal registers. Offered for Advanced Spanish track only with at least six students.

Students achieve and learn how to use their study abroad experience to develop global leadership skills.

Eligibility for the internship is determined by the student's language ability, job skills, background, and professional attitude. The purpose of the internship is to immerse CIEE students into local work practices related to the legal profession. Students collaborate on site with a judge, lawyer, paralegal, prosecutor, the police, or an NGO, and work in tandem with the course instructor in reflecting on the experience. On-site internship experiences are complemented by a solid academic component, including regular tutorials, a professional journal, and evaluations. Total hours: 135. Recommended credit: 3 semester / 4.5 quarter hours.

Students apply these skills to reading and writing a variety of simple texts in Spanish. Courses are taught by experienced dynamic and energetic Spanish instructors, and the teaching methodology draws from modern communicative approaches. Teacher-guided city activities and fieldwork in and around Madrid are an integral component of the course. hours: 45. Recommended credit: 3 semester / 4.5 quarter hours.

Streatham-Croydon RFC were last week named as one of 15 nationwide winners of the RFU Presidents XV Awards.
The Croydon-based club won the community links category due to the role they have played within the community, including being closely involved with schools, becoming a member of the Croydon Sport for Change Network and hosting Sky Television's School of Hard Knocks programme.
The club, who have minis and ladies teams, will receive £500 as their reward for being chosen by a panel of judges who were looking to honour associations around the country that promote rugby at grassroots level.
"It's been a phenomenal year for entries," said RFU president Willie Wildash.
"As ever, the competition was fierce and the quality of entries this year was very high and this made life difficult for the panel of judges.
"These clubs are the heart and soul of rugby and it's wonderful to be able to acknowledge and appreciate the hard work put in by all the volunteers involved."
Meanwhile, on the pitch, the club battled from behind with 25 minutes to go to engineer a 17-15 quarter-final victory against St George College.
Second-half tries from Owen Howells and Aaron Brown combined with the latter converting both proved enough to turn the tie around and send them into the semi-finals.
Streatham-Croydon turn their attentions back to their league title charge this weekend when they travel to third-placed Economicals knowing a victory would secure them the title and promotion to Surrey Two.
