Voting Guidelines:
1. The first, second and third place winners will be decided by member vote. Prizes will be awarded to the first and second place winners.
2. Each member can vote on up to five entries.
3. Because of the high quality of the garments we're seeing entered in PR Contests, we're setting forth some guidelines that may help you choose when voting. Consider how well the entry fulfills each of the following criteria in order to narrow down your votes:
• Does the garment clearly reflect the pattern's line drawing?
• How well does the garment fit the criteria stated in the contest rules? How well does it fit the spirit of the rules?
• Are the construction methods, including but not limited to seam finishes, lining techniques, etc, well suited to the design? To the fabric?
• Is the fabric choice well suited to the design? Are the lining and interfacing choices appropriate?
• Is the review complete and well written?
• Taking into account the stated ability level of the entrant, how well does the garment fit?
• Creative points. You may choose to give extra credit here for an entry that reflects additional creativity (embellishment, fabric choice, etc.) while staying within the nature of the original pattern.
• Complexity of the project. Relate this to the skill level of the participant. If a participant is a beginner then a princess seam may get the same complexity level as an underarm gusset gets for an advanced sewer. This is purely subjective, but a complex garment might garner more points than a simple one if a tie-breaker is needed
Prizes for the contest
First Prize: $100 Gift Certificate from Schmetzneedles.com
Second Prize: $75 Gift Certificate from Schmetzneedles.com

JWC TO JOHN FORSTER ; 18 November 1843; DOI: 10.1215/lt-18431100-JWC-JF-01; CL 17: 186-187
[mid-November 1843]
My dear Mr Forster
Somebody has been telling Mazzini that you have renounced all charge of the Review1— And this "gives rise to thoughts in him"—what is to be the final doom of his hitherto most ill starred Article. 2 When will it get printed? or will it now get printed at all in that Review?— Besides the natural interest which the human breast feels in its own Article—he has another reason for wishing that he could divine its probable future where it is——— He had half promised Kemble an article for next number3—has instead been helping Pierre Leroux to get out a patent4—and if there were no hope for the article in the Foreign when its Good Genius has forsaken it—he would offer Kemble it as a sort of apology for his failure in the other5— But there the man is as modest as a young Lady—more modest than most young ladies—and could not bring himself to say a word of this to you himself—"because he was sensible he had such wrongs towards Mr Forster that he had no right to show the least of impatience"6— So I who have no wrongs towards you—ask for him—seeing really no sense in a man going on in the dark missing his way when he has only to ask and be told—"one turn to the right—one to the left &c &c"—
I hear the most contradictory accounts of your health7—one day that you are in bed—the next that you were at the Library— I wish there were an end of this sad work—Yours ever JC

Hey everyone.
Straight off the bat I hope I haven't disappointed anyone coming to this thread expecting this would be a Moot army consisting of converted munchkin hobbits. Instead I give you the painting efforts of a small group of hobby enthusiasts from Oz (Australia) as we struggle through our painting endeavours. We have all been playing warhammer fantasy for around 5-8 years...I'm hazy with details now...and between us we have collected from just about every fantasy army currently available. I myself have Tomb Kings, Dark Elves, and Orcs and Goblins along with other assorted chaos knick knacks.
After unsuccessfully attempting the tale of fantasy painters this year we decided to start our own log through which we can share our struggles and triumphs as we continue with the hobby. As we play regularly we thought it might also be a place to vent our anger, wax lyrical about background, report our victories and losses, and generally show to the world our little take on the hobby in the hopes of attracting your comments, opinions, criticisms and whatever else you feel like telling us.
For now I present my debut miniature for this log, unfortunately it isn't anything particularly spectacular (I'll leave that up to someone else) but it's a start. So without further adieu we present;
The (miniature) Land of Oz
This is a Night Goblin Shaman I painted over the last couple of days for my Blood Eye Tribe. Although his name is pending I can tell you he occassionally carries an 'itty ring and a cauldron full of magic mushrooms.
Also I have a few pictures of the corsairs I was desperately trying to finish for the tale but simply lost motivation for midway through
So that's all from me for now, I know Alathir wants to post up his newly painted skaven miniatures and vent his frustration at the new beastmen book so until then all the best and happy gaming!
If you want to see more of our painting/gaming check out this old thread

Swim Teams Split At New Hampshire
Oct. 25, 2003
Durham, N.H. - The University of Massachusetts men's and women's swim teams traveled to Durham, N.H. on Saturday, Oct. 25, for their first dual meet of the season. The men's team defeated the Wildcats, 174-96, while the women fell, 168-132.
Leading the men were junior Dylan Smith (Timonium, Md.) and freshman Jake Hogue (Grand Junction, Colo.). Smith won the 100-yard back with a time of 55.77, and also took the top spot in the 500-yard free, with a mark of 4:54.47. Hogue was victorious in two events as well, taking the 200-yard fly with a time of 2:01.90, and the 1000-yard free, at 10:31.15. Several other Minutemen scored points for the team as well. Freshman Greg Chartier (Amherst, Mass.), who won the 200-yard free with a time of 1:45.44, while freshman Mike Cordes (Highland Lakes, N.J.) took the 100-yard breast with a mark of 1:01.09. Senior captain Pete Tawczynski (Holden, Mass.) finished first in the 200-yard breast with a time of 2:15.71, and freshman Scott Mendell (Mountain Lakes, N.J.) swam a 2:02.98 in the 200-yard back, placing him first. The 50-yard free saw freshman Gordon Leonard (Cinnaminson, N.J.) swim to first-place, with a time of 22.32. Massachusetts also won the 200-yard medley relay in a time of 1:38.72, swam by freshman Evan Swisher (N. Bennington, Vt.), Cordes, senior captain Conner Townsend (Memphis, Tenn.) and junior Ryan Matthews (Rumson, N.J.).
For the women, sophomore Aimee Bourassa (Ottawa, Ont.) was the top swimmer, taking first-place in two events.

Bharti Airtel CEO Resigns
By R. Jai Krishna
NEW DELHI — Bharti Airtel Ltd., India's largest telecommunications company by the number of users, said Tuesday the chief executive for its Indian and South Asian operations, Sanjay Kapoor, will step down from the post on Feb. 28.
Gopal Vittal, currently a group director for special projects, will replace him as the new chief executive from March 1, the company said in a statement.
Bharti's South Asian operations, which include telecommunications services in Bangladesh and Sri Lanka, will now be a part of its international division, the statement said.
Mr.Kapoor will continue to be on the board of Indus Towers Ltd., as well as Bharti Global Ltd., it said.
Indus Towers is a three-way telecom tower joint venture between Bharti, Idea Cellular Ltd., and the Indian unit of Vodafone Group PLC.
Mr.Vittal, who earlier worked as a marketing director at Bharti, will report to Sunil Mittal, the chairman and managing director of Bharti Airtel.
Before rejoining Bharti in April 2012, Mr. Vittal was heading Hindustan Unilever Ltd.'s home and personal care division.

Having asked this question on the math overflow boards one of the contributors suggested this may be a more appropriate forum.
I have a cubic function in the form:
$$y = ax^3 + bx^2 + cx + d$$
...(where a, b, c and d are all known constants e.g -0.3, 3.5, 3.83 and 0 respectively) that produces a curve and allows me to calculate a point on that curve given it's x co-ordinate.
What I'd really appreciate help with is: How could I rewrite this equation to calculate the value of x if I knew the value of y?
I understand that cubic curves of this nature can have multiple (upto 3) values for x for any given y though I do not know how to calculate them, and my specific interest is only in the 'rightmost' x (i.e that with highest positive value).
Through research to date I gather my question relates some what to finding the roots of the cubic equation (where the given Y is specifically 0, so the values of x are where the curve crosses the horizontal axis) but I can't expand my admittedly hazy comprehension to calculating for different y values.
The only additional hint I've been able to glean is that because in my circumstances d is always 0 that I may not be dealing with a 'true' cubic function at all and instead might want to "factor out an 'x' and a quadratic".
I have noted there are similar questions posted here but these deal specifically with cubic bezier curves, where the form of the equation deals with t (time) based coefficients and the answers refer to expression of the curve in terms of control points rather then the a, b, c, d form.
Give me anything but mathematics to Google and I'm usually able to work something out for myself but in the sea of coefficients and polynomials I'm afraid I'm lost.
Thank you in adavnce for any pointers, John.

Your eyelashes are the curtain- raiser to the windows of your soul:) Bat attractive, sexy and healthy eyelashes with these simple tips!
- Always keep the moisture intact. Moisture is needed to keep the roots of your eyelashes protected. Anything that you use on your eyelashes that could potentially rob them of their moisture is a big no-n0!
- Keep mascara on your eyes to the minimum. Mascara might look appealing but it could also damage the lashes by keeping them locked from moisture.
- You may want to talk with your doctor to see if a medical treatment is needed to improve your eyelash growth. You could use something like Latisse to handle your eyelashes.
- To avoid curling materials is a good idea. Curling items can weaken follicles and might even add some heat to the area depending on what is being used.
Do you know that you can use a variety of products in your own home to take care of your eyelashes?
- Use castor oil on your eyelashes every night. It is a natural moisturizer that can improve your eyelashes by strengthening the follicles.
- Vaseline, a commonly used petroleum lubricant, can be used to moisture your lashes and keep the follicles sturdy.
Would you believe it that you could get your eyelashes to look better if you have a good diet?
- Protein is needed in your diet. Your eyelashes are mostly made up of protein. A diet with plenty of protein could help you improve your ability to handle stronger eyelashes. The additional protein in your diet can combine over time to form stronger eyelashes.
- Nutrients that are known to support hair follicles around the body have to be used in your diet. Magnesium, sulfur and Vitamin B6 are good options to take a look at.
Let your eyes do the talking with your eye lashes complementing them perfectly!
Happy Skin= Happy You:)

Your life may have been impacted by downgraded debt ratings, a stumbling stock market and burgeoning unemployment statistics, but it appears those facts of contemporary American life meant nothing to the elite of the classic car hobby as it invested some $200 million in its collections during the annual Monterey Peninsula party.
Record prices were achieved by the dozens at the various auctions, and for everything from the highest price ever paid at any auction -- $16,390,000 for a 1957 Ferrari 250 Testa Rosa at Gooding -- to those paid for a Mercedes-Benz, a Duesenberg, and even for a Siata.
By the way, those records were for any car wearing those automakers' badges. We aren't even going to try to list the records set for such things as 190 sLs, 3500 GTs, 911s or other specific models.
For the record, here were the top sales at Monterey auctions (note that we normally list all cars bid to more than a million bucks, but because of what happened at Monterey, it takes $2.1 mill to make this list):
1957 Ferrari 250 Testa Rosa, Gooding, $16,390,000
1931 Duesenberg Model J Murphy "Whittell" coupe, Gooding, $10,340,000
1937 Mercedes-Benz 540 K Spezial roadster, RM, $9,680,000
1960 Ferrari 250 GT SWB berlinetta competizione, RM, $5,280,000
1927 Mercedes-Benz S-type 26/180 sportwagen, Gooding, $5,040,000
1939 Mercedes-Benz 540 K Spezial roadster, RM, $4,620,000
1935 Mercedes-Benz 500 K roadster, RM, $3,767,500
1952 Ferrari 340 Mexico berlinetta, RM, $3,685,000
1959 Ferrari 250 GT LWB California, Gooding, $3,355,000
1936 Mercedes-Benz 540 K Spezial coupe, RM, $3,080,000
1936 Mercedes-Benz 540 K Sport cabriolet A, RM, $2,970,000
1956 Ferrari 410 Superamerica Pinin Farina Series II coupe, Gooding, $2,970,000
1963 Shelby Cobra 289 factory racing car, Gooding, $2,585,000
1955 Ferrari 750 Monza Spyder, RM, $2,530,000
1953 Ferrari 375 Vignale coupe, Gooding, $2,200,000
1962 Ferrari 400 Superamerica coupe, RM, $2,090,000
1931 Miller Bowes Seal Fast Special (Indianapolis 500 winner), Mecum, $2,100,000
Less money, but no less interesting
Though less money was involved, there were other sales at the auctions that were just as interesting. For example:
-The slate-grey 1970 Porsche 911S delivered to Steve McQueen in France and used in the opening sequence of his movie Le Mans sold at RM for $1.375 million. Not only does the sale show the value of celebrity provenance (at best a '70 911S may be a 400K car), but represented the 200th more-than-a-million-dollar sale in RM history.
-Also at RM, a 1899 Columbia Electric Laundaulet sold for $550,000, more than double its pre-sale estimate and a record price at auction for an electric-propelled vehicle.
-The oldest surviving production series Bentley -- the third chassis of the 1921 3-litre, brought $962,000 at Gooding
A 1959 Fiat Tipo 682/RN-2 may not be a familiar vehicle to most classic car enthusiasts. Actually, it's not a car but a commercial truck, and in this case it served as the race car transporter for the Ferrari Grand Prix team from 1960-70, which helps explain why it brought a bid of $990,000 at the Gooding auction.
While the 1931 Indy-winning Miller Bowes Seal Fast Special hit the $2-million mark at Mecum, the next-highest sale there was $585,000 for a 1961 Mercedes-Benz 300 SL roadster. Eight other vehicles sold at Mecum for between $250,000 and $350,000.
-At Russo and Steele, the top sale was a 1966 Ferrari 275 GTS for $654,500. The only other sale there for a quarter-million or more was a 1973 Porsche 911 Carrera RS 2.7 for $286,000.
-At the Bonhams sale at the Quail Lodge, New York's famed Guggenheim art museum sent the 1979 BMW M1 racer formerly owned and driven by Peter Gregg and featuring bodywork art by Frank Stella across the block. The car sold for $854,000. That was $44,000 less than the auction's top sale -- a 1966 Porsche 906 Carrera Cup racing coupe.
-Another highlight of that motorsports-oriented consignment was a 1928 Coventry-Eagle 980 cc Flying-8 motorcycle that brought $265,500.
Off the auction block...
-A 1934 Voisin C-25 Aerodyne owned by Peter and Merle Mullin of Los Angeles (see photo) won best-of-show honors among the more than 225 classic vehicles displayed at the 61st Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance.
"Winning with the Voisin is the most special, significant, rewarding thing that's ever happened to me…outside of marrying my wife," said Mullin, a 69-year-old financial services entrepreneur and philanthropist who only recently had completed a six-year restoration of the car.
"There's nothing like the Voisin interior. You can't print the fabric in this car; you have to loom it. This interior is going to last a long time."
The best-in-show honors were the first for Mullin, who has been bringing his cars to Pebble Beach for 27 years.
"I've been showing at Pebble Beach for nearly three decades and this is the greatest venue in the world," he said. "It's the ultimate thrill, although I wasn't sure I'd actually won. "We were sitting in the bullpen with the other two finalists (out of a field of 227 cars), the judges pointed at me and I thought I finished third… and then the fireworks went off."
The other cars nominated for Best of Show were a 1938 Talbot-Lago T150-C owned by Richard Stephens from Auburn, California, and a 1929 Bentley Speed Six owned by Daniel Sielecki from Capital, Argentina.
"The Voisin is a four-door closed car, so it's actually an unexpected winner," said Concours chairman Sandra Button. "However, the car's remarkable attention to detail brought it forward during judging and it became a real crowd pleaser.
"The Voisin automobiles are always influenced by the fact that Gabriel Voisin came from the world of aviation. There was so much craftsmanship in everything he put together. For Voisin, form follows function, and this car features an amazing, interesting upholstery and interior."
Voisin, who built airplanes during World War I and converted his focus to automobiles afterward, sold more than 11,000 of his usually unconventional, rather expensive vehicles between 1919 and 1939. The distinctive C-25 Voisin, featuring a blend of French curves, highlights Voisin's aeronautic expertise, such as the use of lightweight materials and streamlined designs.
-The 2011 Pebble Beach concours show field included a celebration of Mercedes-Benz and 125 years of the automobile, with nearly 40 Benz, Mercedes and Mercedes-Benz vehicles participating, including the oldest car on the field – an 1894 Benz Victoria Vis à Vis. Also featured were the centennial of Stutz, with 27 vehicles shown, and the 50th anniversary of the Ferrari 250 GTO, with 21 of the 36 cars on display. Other special classes included Rolls-Royce Edwardian Silver Ghosts and Italian motorcycles. * Terry Larson (see photo) of Mesa, Arizona won the Rolex Award of Excellence at the Monterey Motorsports Reunion. The award goes to the person who best shows the spirit of vintage racing at the event. Larson not only brought three cars to the track -- a 1954 Jaguar XK120, a C-type Jag and a 1958 Lister Jag -- but helped coordinate the C- and D-type cars in the special Jaguar Heritage display.
Jaguar was the featured marque (this is the 50th anniversary of the E-type). The Reunion featured 550 vehicles competing in 17 categories. Former Group 44 Jaguar racers driven by Rick Knoop of Laguna Beach, California, and Doug Smith of Plantation, Florida, finished 1-2 in the Group 6b (1981-89 FIA manufacturers championship and IMSA GTP) class and saluted Group 44's Bob Tullius after the race.
-The featured marque at the motorsports reunion in 2012 will be Shelby Cobra.
-Best-in-show honors at The Quail: A Motorsports Gathering went to a 1955 Ferrari 375 America owned by Jack Thomas of Missouri.
-Cadillac used the Pebble Beach weekend to unveil a potential future classic -- a four-door convertible concept car called the Ciel (pronounced C-L and the French word for sky).

UTHCT physician asked to travel to Southeast Asia to help with tsunami relief
Thursday, January 6, 2005
David Lakey, MD, an infectious disease specialist at The University of Texas Health Science Center at Tyler, has been asked to be ready to travel to the Asian Pacific region to help in the medical response to the tsunami disaster. The University of Texas School of Public Health-Houston asked for Dr. Lakey's help because of a request from the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID).
It has not yet been determined when Dr. Lakey will go or where he might be sent, though his destination likely would be either Indonesia or Sri Lanka. Dr. Lakey, an infectious disease specialist, is medical director for UTHSCT's Center for Pulmonary and Infectious Disease Control.
Dr. Lakey lectures around the United States about bioterrorism and biodefense. He also is a member of the newly formed Texas Medical Rangers, a specialized unit of the Texas State Guard's Medical Reserve Corps.
The Corps trains health care professionals to help public health authorities respond to natural disasters or bioterrorism events. USAID is an independent government agency that provides economic, development, and humanitarian assistance around the world.

You've likely heard the news about Mozilla CEO Brendan Eich stepping down as head of the company because he once gave $1,000 to a group supporting Proposition 8, which banned gay marriage in California. Eich had helped found the company and had only recently been appointed CEO. He refused to discuss the topic in public, saying it was a private matter. It is still unclear how knowledge of the donation was made public from the tax return of a private citizen.
Gay rights advocates mounted a protest and boycott of the company until Eich departed, and Mozilla apologized after he left the company, stating that "we haven't stayed true to ourselves" in hiring Eich and insisting that it supports "equality and freedom of speech." Well, one out of two, apparently.
While many on the left (and the media) celebrated the move as a victory against anti-gay bigotry, one person ignited a firestorm by calling out Mozilla and gay rights advocates on their hypocrisy. And he did it in less than 140 characters.
A conservative blogger writing under the pseudonym of "American Elephants" (also the name of his well-written, insightful political blog) took to Twitter to say this:
Dear @Mozilla: I'm gay & I didn't come out of the closet so fascist leftists could force Christians INTO the closet. Shame on you!
— American Elephant (@AmericnElephant) April 3, 2014
His tweet, and many that he posted afterwards, earned praise from the right and condemnation from the left. Liberals accused him either of betraying his gay brethren or not actually being gay at all. The blogger refused to back down; in fact, he doubled down, dropping common sense bombs that argued that the "equality" some argue for cannot come at the expense of others' personal rights. His tweets on the subject were not only insightful, but pretty damn funny. You can follow him on Twitter by clicking right here.

BURLINGTON, Iowa – Alex McMahon and Erik Oja both shot 71 (-1) in second-round action at the Golfweek Conference Challenge on Monday as the Arizona men's golf team slipped to 10th with one round left to play.
The Wildcats own a total of 595 (+19) after shooting 298 (+10) on Monday. Oklahoma currently leads the 15-team tournament with a total of 586 (-8).
"Today was rough for us from a depth perspective," Arizona head coach Jim Anderson said. "It's tough to count two rounds in the upper 70s and be successful at this level. That said, our guys fought until the end and if that attitude and effort continues, we'll have a much better day tomorrow."
McMahon posted his second red number in as many days, bringing his total to 142 (-2) through 36 holes of play. He will enter tomorrow's final round in a tie for fifth place, just one stroke off the lead, and will look to make a run at his first collegiate victory.
Oja also broke par on a Monday that was much better for scoring conditions than Sunday's opening round, firing a 71 (-1) to bring his total to 143 (-1) for the tournament. He is tied for ninth heading into the final round, teaming with McMahon to give Arizona two of the 10 players in the field under par for the tournament.
"I'm proud of Alex and you can see his confidence continue to grow," Anderson said. "He worked hard this summer and it's great to see it validated so far. Erik didn't have his best day off the tee, but he battled all the way, kept it together and posted a good number."
With 18 holes left to play, Bertrand Mommaerts owns a share of 53rd place with a total of 153 (+9), Christian Colegrove is tied for 66th with a total of 158 (+14) and Brenden Redfern stands in 73rd place with a total of 164 (+20).Tee times for the second round of the Golfweek Conference Challenge will start at 6:30 a.m. MST on Tuesday. Live results will continue to be available via golfstatresults.com. For more information on Arizona men's golf, follow @UAWildcatsGolf on Twitter.

Bigfoot, War Wizard and a stellar field of machines invade Bristol Motor Speedway July 28 for the Thompson Metal Monster Truck Madness presented by Beef O'Brady's Family Sports Restaurant.
In what is sure to be a hard-fought battle, Bristol-based War Wizard seeks to defend its home turf against the "Original Monster Truck," Bigfoot, which makes its first Bristol appearance in more than a decade. For many of the region's fans, this event will be their first opportunity to see the legendary Bigfoot in action.
To prove its place as the number one monster truck in the business, Bigfoot will have to defeat some of the strongest competitors in the monster truck world. Among the those set to challenge the big, blue Ford are Avenger, Brutus, Equalizer, Hot Tamale and Samson. Bristol Motor Speedway's massive infield provides these machines plenty of space to fly, crush and destroy everything in their way.
To start the event, the trucks race around the Bristol Motor Speedway infield during two qualifying rounds. Racing eliminations begin after qualifying is complete. After the racing champion is crowned, the trucks return for everyone's favorite event, freestyle. In freestyle, drivers perform insane stunts and maneuvers which push the 10,000 pound behemoths to the limit.
Freestyle motocross action and a jet car also will be featured during the event. The motocross riders will put on an impressive display of stunts, just like the athletes in the X Games.
All monster truck competitors will be available for autographs and pictures during the pre-event Beef O'Brady's pit party located on the backstretch of BMS.
Fans of all ages will not want to miss the kings of carnage as they do what they do best- cause chaos!
Tickets for adults are $15 in advance (Cutoff for advance price Friday, July 27 at 5:00 pm) or $20 at the gate/day of event. Ages 10 and under are $5. Pit party begins at 5:30 p.m. with racing at 7:30 p.m.
Bigfoot and driver Larry Swim also make a pre-event appearance at the Beef O' Brady's restaurant in Elizabethton on Friday, July 27 from 5:30 p.m. - 8:30 p.m. Fans can meet the three-time champion and 2009 Monster Truck Racing Association Driver of the year and pose for pictures with Bigfoot the day before they take to the track in Bristol.

How to Calculate Return on Equity From Company Balance Sheets
Original post by C. Taylor of Demand Media
Return on Equity (ROE) is one of the most important indices for assessing a company's performance. It describes how effectively the company uses owner or shareholder equity to generate income. This equity may be invested directly into the company by a partner, or it may be invested through stock purchases. ROE is calculated using this and equity along with income, both of which may be found in a company's balance sheet.
Step 1
Look at the balance sheet and find the net income and equity. The equity also may be listed as owner equity or shareholders' equity.
Step 2
Divide the net income by the equity to calculate ROE. As an example, if your company generated $10 million in income from $80 million in equity, then you would divide 10 million by 80 million to get a ROE of 0.125.
Step 3
Multiply by 100 to convert the ROE into percent format. In the example, the ROE would be 12.5 percent.

We've talked about almost everything I can think of so I will be writing columns based on things that are currently happening with my raid. There is a time when you seem to get stuck in progression. For some reason that last boss just won't die, you've gone through all the steps to try and correct it, but it feels like you are just spinning your wheels getting no where. Some call it stalled progression, but I call it "The Brick Wall." There are a few ways to get through it, but smashing your head against it usually isn't one of them.

Spirit Link Totem: Your New BFF
Posted by Titleist
Spirit Link Totem. The dev's expressed a desire to add more cooldown options for resto shamans (who were limited basically to just Nature's Swiftness, if you don't count Mana Tide Totem) and Spirit Link Totem is a surprisingly elegant solution. As with any new ability but perhaps moreso with a cooldown based ability is a learning curve for both how it works and when to use it. Hopefully I can help clarify some about both.

Over at Rustique Restoration, Jen and Brock found a way to repurpose some salvaged wood fencing (like that pictured below) and get a lovely way to display Jen's collection of white dishes.
They started with some weathered wood from an old fence that a friend had passed along to them. Since Jen loves the pairing of old wood with crisp white, deciding to turn the fencing into a display shelf was a natural progression. They cut the boards to size and built a box first, then used more boards to make the shelves. Jen stained all of the wood with Mixwax Jacobean. It made a truly lovely way to show off the white dishes.

WASHINGTON — Senate Democrats praised Sonia Sotomayor as a Hispanic pioneer well qualified for the Supreme Court today, but Republicans questioned her impartiality and President Barack Obama's views as well at the start of confirmation hearings.
Despite Republican misgivings, Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., told Sotomayor, "Unless you have a complete meltdown, you're going to get confirmed."
"And I don't think you will" have a meltdown, he added quickly as Sotomayor sat listening, her face in a half-smile.
Graham spoke after Sen. Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, praised Sotomayor in remarks that opened the proceedings in a packed Senate hearing room. "She's been a judge for all Americans. She'll be a justice for all Americans," he said.
Leahy likened Sotomayor to other judicial pioneers, citing Thurgood Marshall, the first black justice on the high court, as well as Louis Brandeis, the first Jew, and Sandra Day O'Connor, the first woman.
"Let no one demean this extraordinary woman," Leahy said in a warning to committee Republicans to tread lightly in the days ahead.
Sen. Jeff Sessions of Alabama, the senior Republican, vowed a "respectful tone" and "maybe some disagreements" when lawmakers begin questioning Sotomayor on Tuesday.
Moments later, he took aim at Sotomayor's 2001 statement that her standing as a "wise Latina woman" would sometimes allow her to reach a better decision than a white male.
"I will not vote for, and no senator should vote for an individual nominated by any president who believes it is acceptable for a judge to allow their own personal background, gender, prejudices or sympathies to sway their decision," he said.
"Call it empathy, call it prejudice or call it sympathy, but whatever it is, it's not law," Sessions said. "In truth, it's more akin to politics, and politics has no place in the courtroom."
That was a reference to Obama's declaration — made before he named Sotomayor — that he wanted a person of empathy on the high court.
Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse, D-R.I., made a spirited rebuttal later in the morning. "The empathy that President Obama saw in you has a constitutionally proper place" in the judiciary," he said.
Obama named Sotomayor, 55 and a child of the South Bronx, to replace retiring Justice David Souter.
While Souter was appointed by President George H.W. Bush, a Republican, he became a reliable member of the court's liberal faction.
If confirmed, Sotomayor is not expected to alter the court's balance on controversial issues such as abortion and affirmative action.
Sotomayor, who has served 17 years as a federal judge, including 11 on the appeals court, listened silently from her seat at the witness table a few feet away as the members of the Senate Judiciary Committee made introductory remarks.
Her turn to speak came next, to be followed by two or three days of questioning from the panel that will cast the first votes on her appointment.
Leahy and Sessions escorted Sotomayor to her seat before the hearing began into the first Supreme Court nominee by a Democratic president in 15 years.
Outside, a small group of anti-abortion protesters opposed to her confirmation unfurled a banner that said, "Senators: Stop the Slaughter! Filibuster Sotomayor." It was unclear whether Sotomayor saw them.
Less than an hour into the hearing, one anti-abortion protester began shouting inside the room, and was quickly hustled away.
From its opening moments, the hearing was drenched in racial politics.
"The Hispanic element of this hearing is important, but … this is mostly about liberal and conservative politics more than it is about anything else," said Graham.
In the Senate as a whole, there was no talk of a filibuster, under which Republicans would attempt to block a vote on her nomination. Instead, barring a gaffe of major proportions, as Graham said, Sotomayor seemed on her way to confirmation even before Leahy rapped the opening gavel.
Graham hinted that he would vote to confirm Sotomayor, but he was the only Republican to sound so inclined.
And even he joined other GOP lawmakers in questioning her ability to serve as an impartial justice.
Said Jon Kyl, R-Ariz.: "From what she has said, she appears to believe that her role is not constrained to objectively decide who wins based on the weight of the law but who, in her opinion, should win."
"The factors that will influence her decisions apparently include her gender and Latina heritage and foreign legal concepts that get her creative juices going." he added.
Sen. Orrin Hatch, R-Utah, broadened that line of skepticism to include Obama. He noted that as a senator, the president opposed Janice Rogers Brown, an African-American appointee to the appeals court by President George W. Bush.
"He argued that the test of a qualified judicial nominee is whether she can set aside her personal views" and decide cases on their merits, Hatch said.
He also said Obama noted at the time that while a nominee's gender, race and life story "are important, they cannot distract from the focus on the kind of judge she will be."
Hatch added, "But today, President Obama says that personal empathy is an essential ingredient in judicial decisions."
In the nearly seven weeks since Sotomayor's nomination, critics have labored without much success to exploit weaknesses in her record.
Even as they try, Republican senators also must take care to avoid offending Hispanic voters, the fastest-growing segment of the electorate by attacking Sotomayor too harshly.
Still, Republicans signaled that they will press her to explain past rulings involving discrimination complaints and gun rights, as well as remarks that they say raise doubts about her ability to judge cases fairly.
The most fertile ground for Republican questioning appears to be on race and ethnicity, focused on Sotomayor's "wise Latina" comment and a ruling on white firefighters from New Haven, Conn., who won their Supreme Court case last month.
By a 5-4 vote last month, the high court agreed with the firefighters, who claimed they were denied promotions on account of their race after New Haven officials threw out test results because too few minorities did well. The court reversed a decision by a New York appeals court panel that included Sotomayor.
What they said, what they meant
In the polite but white-hot world of confirmation hearings, senators and witnesses don't always say what they want to say. So they speak in code.
Here's a translation of what was said in Sonia Sotomayor's confirmation hearing, and what the players actually meant:
What she said: "If I introduced everybody that's family-like," Sotomayor said with a strong voice and a smile, "we'd be here all morning."
What she meant: I may not look like all of you but, trust me, I'm no different from every other family-loving American. I'm surrounded by people who love me.
What he said: "Judge Sotomayor's journey to this hearing room," said Judiciary Committee Chairman Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., "is a truly American story."
What he meant: If you love America, you'll love Sotomayor — or at least vote for her.
What he said: "The confirmation of Justice Louis Brandeis, the first Jewish-American to be nominated to the high court, was a struggle ripe with anti-Semitism," Leahy said. "Likewise, the first Catholic nominee had to overcome the argument that, as a Catholic, he'd be dominated by the pope."
What he meant: Criticize Sotomayor at your own risk. You don't want to sound racist.
What he said: "Let no one demean this extraordinary woman," Leahy said.
What he meant: Criticize Sotomayor at your own risk. You don't want to sound sexist.
What he said: "I expect this hearing and resulting debate will be characterized by a respectful tone, a discussion of serious issues, a thoughtful dialogue and maybe some disagreements," said Sen. Jeff Sessions, the committee's senior Republican.
What he meant: This is a lifetime appointment, folks. We're not going to roll over and play dead.
What he said: "Politics has no place in the courtroom," Sessions said.
What he meant: Democratic politics has no place in the courtroom.
What he said: "Abortion is murder!" shouted a protester in the hearing room.
What he meant: Sotomayor supports abortion rights! (Sotomayor has not ruled in any cases that squarely confronted the right to abortion. As an appeals court judge she dismissed a challenge to the so-called global gag rule, deciding against an abortion rights group. But in her opinion she used the phrases "anti-abortion" and "pro-choice," typically used by the abortion rights side.)
What he said: "Your 'wise Latina' comment starkly contradicts a statement by Justice O'Connor that 'a wise old woman and a wise old man would eventually reach the same conclusion in a case,' " said Charles Grassley, R-Iowa.
What he meant: You played the race card. So can I. (In a speech in 2001, Sotomayor said she hoped a "wise Latina" often would reach better conclusions than a white male who lacked the same life experience.)
What he said: "Unless you have a complete meltdown you're going to get confirmed," said Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C. "And I don't think you will."
What he meant: But everybody's going to be watching to see if you melt down. I hope my supporters know there's nothing I can do to block your confirmation.
What he said: "My inclination is that elections matter," Graham said.
What he meant: Barack Obama won, so will you.

Coit Tower, one of San Francisco's best known landmarks, is closed for renovations from mid-November 2013 through a projected re-opening date in April 2014. Built in 1933, the monument requires a $1.1 million overhaul to protect it from ingress of rain and moisture which has damaged the walls. Cracked paint, electrical and plumbing systems and asbestos treatment are on the to-do list for repairs.
Facelift for a lady
The beloved 80-year-old white concrete structure atop Telegraph Hill can be widely seen from the bay and from various points across the city. Views from Pioneer Park at the base, which features a statue of Christopher Columbus, are outstanding. Some visitors pay to take the elevator to the top of the 275-foot tower, but the real treasures of the simple fluted column are on the walls of its lobby.
Painted murals
Scenes from every day life around the Bay Area during the Great Depression were painted on the walls of Coit Tower by a group of artists employed by the Public works of Art Project, later the Works Progress Administration (WPA), in 1934. Controversial at the time, they are now highly acclaimed. However, the wear and tear of millions of visitors, as well as the ravages of time and weather, threatened the longevity of the frescoes.
The San Francisco Recreation & Parks Department indicates that once the maintenance on the structure is completed, attention will turn to restoration of the murals.

Thought Id make a tentative enquiry at this stage to see if anyone is interested in any of the following cracking items that I am thinking about selling, due to lack of regular use:
1. Totem Mani-2 Signature Maple finish.
Superb stand mount speakers. Good condition overall, with one or two very small marks from previous owner, only visible at close range.
To be sold with Partington Heavi-2 speaker stands, finished in black. These really are incredibly well built, and are a perfect match for the Totem speakers.
Recent good review from internet:
Had a quick look on dealer sites, and this pairing would cost around £5700 new. After £2000 for the speaker and stands combo.
2. Audio Analogue Maestro
Remote controlled, Phono stage (MM/MC), Balanced and phono inputs.
Bought off a fellow wammer, condition is good, except for a small blemish on the top edge of the front panel. Solidly built amp, and more than capable of driving the Mani-2s.
Spec. can be found here:
and a review here:
Looking to get back what I paid, so £850.
2. Leema Acoustics Antila 2 CD Player.
Again, some excellent reviews around on the net. In excellent condition. Has balanced XLR and phono inputs. After £1450.
Can supply photos via email for anyone interested.
Please let me know if you want any further info.

March 19, 2014 - Bustees is a clothing line that designs bikinis with fit, fashion, as well as performance in mind for women who have a busty-build. Starting this year with the launch of swimwear and Summer separates, the company launched a Kickstarter campaign to fund their sample making process and the complete line is scheduled to release this year. As of this morning, they are 39% funded with 28 days left in the campaign.
So if you can relate to rocking similar, knockout curves to that of Christina Hendricks, or Kat Dennings (aka women who wear cup sizes D-K and band sizes 28-40) you are in luck: Bustees wants their clients to be beachside, or poolside, and only be focused on enjoying themselves as well as reveling in the fact they look fabulous and are fully supported. Not only is one of the perks in their campaign one of their bikinis, but a new perk has been added that will include all the previously listed perks! All cup sizes (A-K) are available for the bikini perk, so donors can order their specific size at the closing of the campaign.
You can find Bustees at their website, Facebook, Twitter, or you can head over directly to their Kickstarter campaign to read more on their cool perks that include Bustees gear for women and graphic t-shirts for men!

Story by Brandon Steinert
Five Barton instructors earned the Distinguished Instructor Award for the 2013-2014 school year for their efforts in the classroom.
The Distinguished Instructor Award for full-time faculty was created in 1984 to recognize teaching excellence. Faculty members are nominated by their peers and then evaluated by a committee including Barton students, a previous Distinguished Instructor Award recipient, members of the Barton Foundation, Board of Trustees and community members. The committee considers each instructor's contributions to teaching and learning, the College mission and the community.
In 2003, the President's staff recognized the many contributions of Barton's associate faculty members by establishing the Distinguished Instructor Award for associate faculty as well.
A plaque reflecting the names of the award recipients is displayed in Barton's Office of Instruction and Student Services.
The winners are:
Vern Fryberger, Director of Chorale Activities at the Barton County campus
Mike Cox, History Instructor at the Fort Riley campus
Brian Koch, Associate Math Instructor at the Fort Riley campus
Amy Neidig, Associate Math Instructor at the Fort Leavenworth campus
Karey Marshall, BARTonline.org Chemistry Instructor

The enclosed pages were written over the earlier years of my life's journey, just after I first discovered a new purpose for my self and for a new friend.
It has been written with special thanks to my mother, Patricia, who first encouraged me to write as a teen. I had begun my search through the discovery of having my own thoughts, feelings and emotions when she encouraged me to do as she did......to journal as if it was a letter or story I wanted to tell my truest friend.
It was then that I found.....not only a true friend, but also my love and passion for my own written word!
I will never forget that first feeling of the pencil gliding across the page, my thoughts sliding from my mind and escaping through my fingers.... being forever recorded in front of my very own eyes!
It was exhilarating beyond belief then .....and at times often still is.
From brain surgery to stories from the "in between" and a bit of poetry taboot....something for everyone to enjoy!

Raspberry Pie with Oat Crust RecipeRead Reviews Be the first to add a review
4.5 30 21
A diabetic for 30 years, I adapted this recipe to fit my needs. When I serve this pie, no one can believe it's sugarless. The oatmeal crust is so tender...and the filly is berry delicious! —Ginny Arandas of Greensburg, Pennsylvania
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup quick-cooking oats
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup canola oil
- 3 to 4 tablespoons cold water
- 2 cups water
- 1 package (.8 ounces) sugar-free cook-and-serve vanilla pudding mix
- 1 package (.3 ounce) sugar-free raspberry gelatin
- 4 cups fresh raspberries
- In a food processor, combine the flour, oats and salt. While processing, slowly drizzle in oil. Gradually add water until a ball forms. Roll out dough between two sheets of waxed paper. Remove top sheet of waxed paper; invert dough into a 9-in. pie plate. Remove remaining waxed paper.
- Trim and flute edges. Line unpricked pastry with a double thickness of heavy-duty foil. Bake at 450° for 8 minutes. Remove foil; bake 5-7 minutes longer or until golden brown. Cool on a wire rack.
- In a large saucepan, heat water over medium heat. Whisk in pudding mix. Cook and stir for 5 minutes or until thickened and bubbly. Whisk in gelatin until completely dissolved. Remove from the heat; cool slightly. Fold in raspberries. Spoon into crust. Chill for at least 3 hours or overnight. Yield: 8 servings.

College Hockey:St. Cloud State asking young defensemen to play big roles
St. Cloud State's offense went through struggles in 2010-11, but the main concern for Huskies coach Bob Motzko this season is the defense.
"If we have a spot on our team where we're going to start with an unknown, it's on defense," said Motzko, who returns for his seventh season behind the SCSU bench. "We have six freshmen or sophomores on 'D,' so we're going to have young guys with bigger roles."
The Huskies have only two upperclassmen on the blue line — junior Taylor Johnson and senior Sam Zabkowicz — but they will get help from sophomores Nick Jensen and Kevin Gravel. Jensen and Gravel both made strides as freshmen last season.
"The guys that really shined for us on defense were both freshmen," Motzko said. "By the end of the year, Nick Jensen and Kevin Gravel were outstanding."
Mike Lee's numbers (.910 save percentage, 2.75 goals against average) from last season were below average, but Motzko was quick to dismiss Lee from all the blame.
"Mike was kind of victimized," Motzko said. "The players in front of him let him down. He's ready for his time to shine, and that could be now."
Of course, Lee and the SCSU defense are going to need more help from the offense than it provided in 2010-11. Drew LeBlanc returns for his senior season after he led the Huskies in points (39).
SCSU ranked eighth in the WCHA in scoring (2.95 goals per game) last season despite returning 12 of its top 14 scorers from 2009-10. The Huskies lost just 17 percent of their offensive production from last season to 2011-12.
About the Huskies
2010-11 overall record: 15-18-5
2010-11 WCHA record: 11-13-4 (ninth)
2011-12 predicted finish (coaches poll): Seventh
Key losses: F Garrett Roe, F Aaron Marvin, G Dan Dunn
Players to watch: F Drew LeBlanc, F Cam Reid, F David Eddy, F Jared Festler, D Taylor Johnson, G Mike Lee
Impact rookie: F Nick Oliver
Why the Huskies will finish higher than the coaches poll: The young defensive corps will progress as well as Nick Jensen and Kevin Gravel did in their rookie seasons. Eddy will have a breakout season offensively after sitting out nearly half of 2010-11.
Why the Huskies will finish lower than the coaches poll: An unproven Huskies defense could leave Lee on an island again but the offense has to be a lot more productive, too.

Comics Time: Green Lantern #43-51
Green Lantern #43-51
Geoff Johns, writer
Doug Mahnke, artist
Ed Benes, artist on issue #47
22 story pages each except #50 which was longer
$2.99 each
Off the top of my head, here's the stuff you'll find in these Blackest Night tie-in issues of the ongoing Green Lantern series: Black Hand, Black Hand becomes the embodiment of the Black Lantern Corps, Martian Manhunter, Abin Sur, Abin Sur's sister and Sinestro's girlfriend Arin Sur, Barry Allen, John Stewart and that planet he blew up, John Stewart was part of Black Hawk Down, the Star Sapphires vs. the Sinestro Corps, Sinestro vs. Mongul for control of the Yellow Lanterns, the new Rainbow Lantern team featuring the Flash and Wonder Woman and Lex Luthor and so on, the Spectre, Parallax, Hal Jordan deliberately becoming Parallax again, Parallax getting kidnapped by some force only Hector Hammond is aware of, the Predator escapes from Zamaron, Blue Lanterns vs. Orange Lanterns, Red Lanterns vs. Green Lanterns, all the leaders of the different Corps teaming up, Orange Lantern Lex Luthor figures out that the Black Lantern Corps works the same way that the Orange Lantern "Corps" does, Ganthet becomes a Green Lantern, it looks like the Spectre might be to the Red Lanterns what Parallax is to Yellow and Ion is to Green and Predator is to Violet and Black Hand is to Black but he's not but there's a Red entity out there someplace...It's crazy. The Yellow Lantern Scarecrow gets crucified at one point--in Siege, the weight of that one beat would anchor an entire issue, but in this storyline it's like half a page.
What you have here, in other words, is supercompressed storytelling as filtered through the sensibilities of someone who really isn't interested in formal play (unlike Grant Morrison and...uh, um, those other writers who do supercompressed superhero comics besides Grant Morrison, you know the ones) so much as just taking every aspect of the greater Green Lantern mythos and exploring every possible permutation of it in as rapid succession as possible. Having had no brief with Green Lantern before Geoff Johns started writing him, I'm surprised to find myself enjoying this stuff this much, and on this geeky a level. I mean, when I read today's issue and realized that the Spectre might be the Red Entity, I actually gasped out loud. And I couldn't care about the Spectre less! It's just that kind of comic. If you enjoy the world Johns has built from the pieces of Green Lantern he found lying around and started connecting, watching the increasingly elaborate edifice he's constructing here is a true treat.
And when you sit and read it all at once, it's not even incoherent--it's just like a constant stream of rad shit hitting your eyeballs, and provided you have the kind of brain equipped to file away genre arcana and recall it as necessary, it flows from one thing into the next with the clarity and purpose of a freight train. Artist Doug Mahnke is an indispensable part of why this works. Mahnke rapidly ascended into my half-dozen or so favorite contemporary superhero artists over the course of his past three major projects; his segue from Final Crisis/Superman Beyond to these key Blackest Night tie-ins is arguably the first smooth transition from one project to another that any of DC's event-comics artists have pulled off. (Seriously, Rags Morales, Phil Jimenez, J.G. Jones, and Carlos Pacheco all disappeared from DC after their star turns.) What makes him such a good fit here is both his proficiency with horror and monster-movie imagery (standout moments include Black Lantern Abin Sur using his ring to create a ravenous horde of giant floating disembodied black skulls, like he's Stardust the Super-Wizard or something, and the way he paced Parallax's fight with the Godzilla-sized Black Lantern Spectre to interrupt Orange Lantern Luthor's tussle with Orange Lantern Larfleeze with the fall of one mighty foot) and the way his thick line, emboldened by inker Christian Alamy, holds the bright colors that the material demands. The funny thing is that the "dudes zapping dudes in all different directions" fight un-choreography I always complain about when I see it in '90s X-Men books or contemporary Avengers titles is inherent to how these characters operate, but Mahnke's visual imagination and ability to harness those effects and make them feel consequential rather than full of sound and fury but signifying nothing gets them over as involving battles anyway. This storyline--especially when read divorced from the larger plot points of Blackest Night with which it intertwines--is one of the great gonzo thrills provided by genre comics right now.
Comments (8)
I just read GL #51 and I have to agree with you on every point - this is some crazy-ass shit, no buts about it. I think back on all the boring-ass Green Lantern comics I've read in my life and I wonder why the hell they were all so boring when Johns was able to get so much out of just some very basic riffing on the concept.
Why am I so surprised to hear you're digging this, Tim? Had you said something negative about Johns's GL in the past that I'm dimly remembering? Anyway, absolutely, with a few simple tweaks and twists and expansions Johns has basically opened up a franchise with the storytelling fecundity of almost any other superhero concept you'd care to name. And he's not squirreling his ideas away, either--he's just letting 'er rip, confident that he can come up with more.
Did I say something like that? It's possible - I may have said something about the gore early on, or something like that, but I have to admit the Grand Guignol tone doesn't bother me so much.
But no, it's good stuff. It's sad, considering how much of a Marvel fan I have traditionally been, but outside of the DnA cosmic books, they've totally abdicated this kind of book in favor of what really is basically the Bendis school of event, which was novel at one point but now seems unbelievably pokey next to this. Siege is just so somnolent next to this, it's embarrassing.
Aah, I probably made it up. Never you mind. Anyway, yeah, it's just got a lot more going on than Siege. It was mentally linking Scarecrow's crucifixion with Ares' dismemberment and comparing the way the two were handled that made it click for me.
Hey, watch those spoilers. Not only wasn't I aware of Ares being dismembered, I wasn't aware there's a character called Ares.
hahahah- Spurge wins.
Mahnke has been a favorite of mine since those early Mask comics he did. I followed him to Major Bummer, JLA, Stormwatch PHD, etc etc, almost regardless of the quality of the writing.. But he's really ramped it up onto a whole new level with the Superman Beyond stuff, and he's consistently topping himself. I always liked the way Tom Nguyen inked him, but Christian Alamy is pretty excellent here. Though I'm looking forward to the end of Blackest Night as an event, the core issues of GL and GLC are some of my favorite nutso superhero comics in a while.
What's your take on the GLC issues specifically, Zack? I think they're a lot of fun, if not quite as jam-packed as the main GL tie-in arc, and play with the mythos in the same fun fashion, but they're undermined by resolutions to problems that amount to "we're going to fix this unfixable problem because we want to really badly." Kyle gets brought back from the dead because they love him so much, Guy gets purged of the Red Lantern cooties from Mogo's magical red-lantern-cootie-purging abilities that we've never heard of before, and so on.
When we pronounce the word Irina what is your first impression? I bet you can think of, there will be an article about the supermodel Irina Lazareanu, which for its distinctive style, vintage-inspired known and developed the status of ¡®official muse for designer Replica Knockoff Handbags . If this idea which is certainly wrong.

Based on design considerations discussed in prior sections, faculty should develop a plan for continuous reflection to effectively integrate the service activities with other coursework. Faculty might find it helpful to think in terms of the three stages of reflection: before experience, during experience, and after experience. Faculty might want to address the same set of learning outcomes at each stage, but the way in which the outcomes are addressed could be very different depending on the stage of reflection. For example, faculty might focus on helping students acquire the prerequisite problem-solving skills before the experience. During the service, the focus might be on coaching students in solving a complex S-L problem. After the service, reflection activities might focus on helping students consolidate their learning, and consider limitations and future extensions.
Examples of the goals of reflection and the design of reflection activities at each stage are given below:
Reflection before Experience
Design reflective activities that help students prepare for the service experience. Thus reflective activities could be designed to:
Reflection after experience
Use reflection to connect service experience back to disciplinary knowledge and explore future applications
Challenge students to think critically about their service experiences and the responsible application of knowledge and public problem solving.

Clinical trial sponsors are facing an increasing number of trials that fail to meet recruitment and retention goals. This failure results in missed opportunities for patients who can benefit from clinical trials, and it wastes time, funds, and other resources. Many explanations have been offered to explain this failure. Among them are that patients are not aware of clinical trials that may be of interest to them, and also that recruitment and retention technologies have not kept pace with advances in communications and other technologies.
Address the barriers to recruitment and retention of patients in clinical trials through the identification of solutions to those barriers.
