Diabetic Kidney Disease Often Missed
June 24, 2003 -- Current screening methods may be missing up to 30% of kidney disease cases among people with type 2 diabetes.
A new study suggests up to 300,000 adults in the U.S. with type 2 diabetes may not know they have kidney problems because they do not show the classic signs of kidney disease commonly associated with diabetes.
Researchers say nearly half of all new kidney failure cases are attributed to type 2 diabetes. When diabetes isn't effectively managed through lifestyle modifications and drug therapy, the kidneys have a harder time doing their job in clearing wastes from the body, which often results in kidney disease and kidney failure.
Most doctors currently screen for kidney disease among adults with type 2 diabetes by testing for protein in the urine (albuminuria). And patients who have eye disease (retinopathy) are tested because they're also likely to have protein in the urine. Retinopathy is a condition associated with kidney disease caused by diabetes.
But researchers say much of what doctors know about the nature of kidney disease in people with diabetes is based on studies of people with type 1 diabetes rather than the more common type 2 diabetes. And their findings suggest that kidney disease among people with type 2 diabetes may have different features and characteristics than those found among people with type 1 diabetes.
The study, published in the June 25 issue of The Journal of the American Medical Association, looked at data from 1,197 people with type 2 diabetes over the age of 40.
Chronic kidney disease occurs when the kidneys are unable to eliminate toxins and waste from the body effectively and maintain a normal fluid balance. The severity of the condition is measured by estimating how well the kidneys are able to filter wastes in the blood, known as the glomerular filtration rate (GFR), and a low GFR is a clear sign of kidney disease.
Researchers found 13% of the adults with type 2 diabetes had a low GFR, but 30% of these patients did not have eye disease or protein in the urine. Therefore, the current screening procedures using these standard kidney disease indicators may be missing up to 30% of kidney disease cases among people with type 2 diabetes.

GSD Course Bulletin - Fall 2012
This term's information was last refreshed on 12 MAY 2015 14:54:06.
Courses taught by Rahul Mehrotra
05210: Cities by Design I (SES 0521000)
Urban Planning and Design
Lecture - 4 credits
Tuesday Thursday 10:00 - 11:30 Gund - Piper
Rahul Mehrotra, Eve Blau, Sibel Bozdogan, Joan Busquets, Alex Krieger, Robert Lane, A. Hashim Sarkis
Course Description
'Cities by Design' is a year-long course that studies urban form. In the fall semester, 'Cities by Design' will explore six urban case studies to expose students to a range of factors that affect the design of contemporary cities in various geographical contexts. In the spring, the course will look at four cities and conclude with a panel discussion to synthesize the conclusions drawn from cases from the entire year. The case studies will focus on both the urban condition as a whole by exploring processes of urban evolution, and on the study of urban fragments or projects. Each case study will be taught during a two-week module, comprised of four lectures and one discussion section. Term grades will be based on attendance and participation in both lectures and sections, biweekly response papers based on assigned readings, and a final term paper.
Two main pedagogical objectives guide the course. The course will allow students to establish a broader definition of the 'urban,' forging commonalities amongst a diversity of cities. It will also provide the historical and comparative material to identify the urban characteristics and design strategies that render particular cities distinct. Comparative analyses of the urban case studies will be guided by the following eight themes, which will be explored through the lectures, section discussions, and assigned readings:
1. The city's genealogy and key historical events, phases of development, and patterns of growth
2. The ways in which the terrain, geography, and infrastructural development constrain and present opportunities for the city's development and ambitions
3. The city's planning and design culture and decision-making institutions
4. The challenges that social equity present to planning and design in the city
5. The orchestration of the city's relationship to the broader region
6. How the particular city contributes to a definition of the 'urban' condition
7. The framing and design of key urban projects/case studies
8. The city's planning institutions, historical conditions, urban forms, or ambitions, etc. that have contributed to its iconicity in a global context
No Prerequisites; Course is required of all entering UD students.

Critical Rating: AAA 1/2
Genre: All-Sex
This one starts slowly and deliberately, with knockout Krystal stripping and masturbating, all the while asking the camera, "Do you like me?" "Do you like my breasts/legs/feet/lips?" Her self-induced orgasm is a lead-in to five other scenes (one g/g/g) with multiple players and facial pops. All the people are young (although the box cover's claim that the girls are teenagers is stretching things a bit) and natural, mostly. All shot in apartments and hotel rooms (Locations? We don't need no stinkin' locations!), but a good time is had by all. Like the girl who takes her partner's pop as a cue to start sucking, stroking and sucking him in earnest while he yells out his pleasure.

Unsex The Oscars — Let The Best Performer Win
With 10 Best Picture nominees and two hosts, this year's Oscar-cast may not end before Monday morning. Will anyone still be awake when they finally give out the big awards?
Well, as long as the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences is comfortable having categories with 10 nominees, I can tell them how to save time, eliminate two acceptance speeches and strike a blow against sexism all in one fell swoop:
Make the acting Oscars gender-neutral.
The Logic
Nobody separates Best Director from Best Directress (directrix?), or Best Editor from Best Editress, so why Best Actor and Best Actress? Combine them, and let the best "performer" win.
Seriously. Colin Firth vs. George Clooney isn't half as intriguing a matchup as the brawl-of-the-drawls you'd get if The Blind Side's Sandra Bullock were allowed to compete with Crazy Heart's Jeff Bridges. Imagine Meryl Streep's Julia Child going up against Morgan Freeman's Nelson Mandela — now that'd be a contest.
Yeah, yeah, I can just hear the objections to combining categories: Men get all the roles; they're higher paid; their pictures have bigger budgets. Well, let me concede most of that, but also let me note that these are new developments.
Related Blog Post
The academy's original logic for separating the acting awards by gender was probably that if they hadn't done so in Oscar's early years — the 1920s and '30s — the men would've watched as Joan Crawford and Greta Garbo walked off with all the trophies.
Take 1935: It was such a good year for the likes of Bette Davis, Katharine Hepburn, Merle Oberon and Claudette Colbert, that the academy had to add a sixth slot in the Best Actress category.
The men, meanwhile, couldn't even field a full slate: There were only four Best Actor nominees, and the three who didn't take home statues all came from one picture: Mutiny on the Bounty. What they'd have done if the Bounty hadn't sailed until the following year is anyone's guess.
The Playing Field Today
Yes, of course the game has changed since then, but it's changed in a way that could actually work against men at Oscar time. The blockbusters and crime dramas that men have dominated since the studios' heyday rarely win acting awards any more. Performers wanting to place that neutered gold statue on their mantels these days have to play in something more touchy-feely — what used to be called, um, women's pictures.
Besides, acting's not like a shot-put competition. Body mass and physical strength don't give men an advantage when it comes to emoting effectively.
For proof of that, just look at this year's supporting actor nominees. I mean no disrespect to Matt Damon's rugby playing in Invictus, Woody Harrelson's crying in The Messenger, Christopher Plummer's erudite dithering in The Last Station, or the respective killing styles of Stanley Tucci in The Lovely Bones and Christoph Waltz in Inglourious Basterds. But would even one of those guys stand a chance in a gender-neutral supporting performer category, competing with the ferociously manipulative mom Mo'Nique plays in Precious?
I'm guessing no. The academy will almost certainly reward Mo'Nique on Oscar night — and that would be no less true if she were competing with the boys.

The Dallas Cowboys had the NFL's worst run defense in the preseason, allowing 158.3 yards per game.
For the Cowboys to have any chance to beat San Francisco, they must slow down the 49ers' running attack. Jim Harbaugh's offense isn't fancy; it wants to dominate the point of attack and use the running game to set up everything else.
Frank Gore does most of the work for the 49ers, who ran finished third in rushing attempts last season.
He has three 100-yard games each of the past two seasons and 11 games with the 20 carries of more. He's not a speed runner, but demonstrates extreme patience as a runner.
He has no problem taking his time to let a play develop before attacking the defense's soft spot.
The Cowboys ranked 27th in the NFL in run defense last season (128.9 yards per game) and yielded more than 130 yards eight times. The Cowboys were 3-5 in those games.
They were 4-0 when holding opponents to fewer than 100 yards.
To slow down San Francisco, the Cowboys will need good performances from defensive end Tyrone Crawford, especially with starter George Selvie slowed by a shoulder injury that kept him out of practice on Monday.
Bruce Carter and Kyle Wilber, who will each play some strongside linebacker, need to perform at a high level.
"They have a big, strong offensive line," coach Jason Garrett said. "They have a great runner and they have a dynamic playmaking quarterback. The challenges are certainly there. They're all over the tape."

Trash Tucker Carlson on Dancing With the Stars!
Dancing with the Stars (which started its third season last night) is some of the most addictive crap on TVprimarily because of the cringe-worthy dancing from un-note worthy celebs such as "political pundit" Tucker Carlson. Here's his hilariously awful dancing debut from last night's episode, but stick around for the judges' comments… especially those of my fave, Bruno Tonioli!

Big Firms, Little Competition Mark Federal Stimulus Deals
WASHINGTON -- The biggest recipients so far of the federal contracts awarded with stimulus money are large companies that faced little competition for the funds.
Most of the money that has flowed from the $787 billion stimulus plan since it was passed six months ago has gone to the states. But about 22,000 federal contracts with a total value of around $12 billion have been signed with companies, according to a public database of the deals. Companies faced no competition in about a fifth of the dollars and almost all of the contracts agreed to so far have had four bidders or fewer, the records show.
The reported contracts include millions of dollars for big-name food, drug and auto companies. Del Monte Foods Co. and Hormel Food Corp.'s Jennie-O Turkey unit are providing supplies for food pantries, and so are private-label firms such as Lakeside Foods. Drug makers GlaxoSmithKline PLC, Merck & Co., Novartis AG and a unit of Sanofi Aventis Group are supplying extra vaccines for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Chrysler Group LLC, Ford Motor Co. and General Motors Co. are selling hybrids and other fuel-efficient vehicles to the General Services Administration for the federal fleet.
The database also includes details of goods and services, from tree-thinning and cables to uniforms and advertising. About a fifth of the contracts were awarded to small vendors, according to the Small Business Administration.
The single biggest chunk of the money going to companies -- about $4 billion -- has been doled out to speed cleanup at Cold War-era nuclear sites. The money has flowed to those companies quickly, in part because the Department of Energy was already working with them on the projects.
The biggest recipient so far is Savannah River Nuclear Solutions, a management corporation created to handle cleanup at the South Carolina site, which has $1.28 billion of contracts. The corporation's partners include Fluor Corp., Northrop Grumman Corp. and Honeywell International Inc. URS Corp., Energy Solutions and CH2M Hill are among the companies carrying out similar work in Hanford, Wa.
The $4 billion in nuclear-cleanup contracts translates into 5,100 jobs created and 1,967 saved, according to the Energy Department's Office of Environmental Management. The department has an initial estimate that its $6 billion in nuclear-cleanup funding will create or save 10,000 jobs for two and a half years.
The cleanup companies are creating jobs for workers who don't have special skills, as well as professionals and unionized construction workers.
"There are some jobs that are for specialists, but there are many jobs that are for individuals who are willing to be trained," said Inés Triay, assistant secretary for environmental management. "We have a lot of indications that many people are coming to these jobs from unemployment status."
At the Hanford site, one of the largest groups of new hires is 30 radiological-control technicians, said John Britton, a spokesman for Washington River Protection Solutions, one of the joint ventures handling the work. They are all recent high-school graduates or career changers under the age of 35 who are finishing on-the-job training and earning about $20 an hour to learn how to keep the rest of the cleanup workers safe. They were recruited through ads in regional newspapers and fought off 470 other applicants to land the jobs.

ANTH 204: HUMAN ECOLOGY (Section 1 & 2)
Fall 2015
W/F 11:30-12:45 and 1:00-2:15
Bailey 152
Instructor: Barbara Welker Office: Bailey 150 or Lab: Bailey 152
Telephone: 245-5204 email: email@example.com Office hours: Tu/Th 2:30-4:00
This course will examine human ecology within an evolutionary, biocultural, cross-species, and cross-cultural framework. We will begin with an overview of the disciplines of ecological anthropology and human behavioral ecology. The remainder of the course will be divided into the following: (1) human biocultural adaptations to various global biomes, (2) the significance of human behavior from a cross-species perspective, (3) the status of the earth in relation to anthropogenic activities, and (4) student presentations of individual research focused on relevant/related topics in sustainability.
Students will:
1. demonstrate their knowledge and understanding of human adaptations to various environments (both biological and cultural) and the adaptive significance of many aspects of human behavior via (1) three written exams; (2) in-class presentations, seminars, and discussions; and (3) a five-page term paper. They will acquire said knowledge via assigned readings, lectures, films, seminars, case studies, discussions, and individual research projects.
2. demonstrate their research, writing, and speaking skills, respectively, via (a) conducting a literature review-oriented research project, (b) organizing and writing a five-page term paper based on their research, and (c) presenting an overview of their project.
3. demonstrate the completion of assigned readings via in-class discussion (in both small and large groups). This will give them a practical perspective of human biocultural adaptation via articles, ethnographies, films, and discussion of specific cultures that have adapted both physically and culturally to disparate environmental conditions, e.g. arctic, tropics, desert, high altitude, etc.
4. become more aware of anthropogenic damage to the global environment and differential access to resources via readings, discussion, and research.
5. demonstrate their knowledge of their nutritional needs and success at fulfilling those needs via the completion of the nutrition project. They will use course information and outside resources to evaluate their individual needs in relation to their current diet, so as to gain a better understanding of what their bodies need to function. It is my hope that students will adjust their diet accordingly (if necessary) to improve their health and well-being.

Term Paper 15%
Participation in seminars/case studies/discussions 11% maximum
Nutrition project 5%
NOTE: You can miss one participation day without losing credit but there is no way to make up any of the
remaining 10, unless the Dean of Students deems that you should receive special consideration.
EXAMS consist of fill-in-the-blank, multiple choice, short answer, and essay questions. They are, for the most part, non-cumulative.
Topics for individual/group projects on sustainability:
Sea level
Food production
Renewable energy
Groups of 5 people in each class will work on one of the topics above. You will collaborate collectively on the topic while individually exploring a component of it for your presentation and paper. Individual research topics are due 9/18.
INDIVIDUAL PRESENTATIONS will be ≥12 & ≤15 min long. Students will share what they have learned with the class via a PowerPoint/short lecture. I must receive PowerPoint's via email, at least 1hr before class time or the most you can earn is 75%. This will avoid last minute uploading. In addition, videos/audios are not to be used as they cause schedule delays and use time that is allotted for presentation of research. All .ppt files should be saved in .pptx mode and Mac users should convert accordingly, so as not to lose graphics… CIT folks can help.
TERM PAPERS will be based upon the aforementioned research. Papers should be a minimum of 5 double-spaced, type-written pages (5%/half page x 10 = 50%, in other words, a missing half page will incur a loss of 5%), 12 font with standard margins, and use a minimum of 5 acceptable references (10% per reference = 50%). References must be cited throughout. Only peer-reviewed journal articles, monographs, or chapters from edited volumes are permitted for the minimum number of references. Students may, however, use additional references, e.g. course materials, popular journals, internet sources, etc. You need to check for spelling and grammar before submission. If you violate any of the requirements, you will forfeit a revision. Once I have corrected papers, you may make all corrections and re-submit your paper so you benefit (if needed) from the feedback and extra points. When you submit a revision, you must include the original.
Papers are due 1 week after the individual presentation (except in the case of scheduled breaks and last presentation dates wherein papers are due the same day as presentation so that I can correct them and you'll have time to revise).
Overdue papers will not be accepted beyond 1 week after they're due and will be penalized 5%/day.
PARTICIPATION: You can earn up to 1 pt for each discussion that you prepare for and participate in (11 pt max). Discussions include seminars, case studies, and discussion days. You will demonstrate your preparedness by preparing and submitting topics/questions/comments for discussion on those days. It should be apparent from your submitted "topics" that you read and considered each of the assigned readings. You must be present and prepared to earn credit.

A St. Johns County man was found dead inside a mobile home that caught on fire, according to the St. Johns County Fire Rescue.
Kelly L. Nunley, 44, was found inside what is believed to have been his mobile home on the 6300 block of State Road 13 at around 10:40 p.m. Saturday, Fire Rescue said.
Firefighters discovered Nunley while they extinguished the mobile home, which was a total loss, Fire Rescue spokesman Jeremy Robshaw said.
The state fire marshal will determine the cause of the fire, which appears to have been accidental, Fire Rescue said.
Although medical examiners will determine the exact cause of Nunley's death, Sgt. Chuck Mulligan of the St. Johns County Sheriff's Office said there is no indication of foul play.

It's common knowledge that Athens serves as a regional hub for medical care in Northeast Georgia, but a recent report from the Georgia Hospital Association reinforces the significance of that status.
The GHA, a hospital trade association serving 170 Georgia hospitals, just released its economic impact report on Georgia's medical centers, and the economic influence that Athens Regional Medical Center and St. Mary's Health Care System is worth noting. GHA's most recent figures cover the 2007 year, so it does not include figures for our long-term acute care center Landmark Hospital, which opened two years ago.
Athens Regional Medical Center, the larger of our major health care centers, generated more than $700 million in revenue for the local economy, the GHA reported. During that time, ARMC also provided approximately $28 million in uncompensated care while employing more than 6,000 full- and part-time workers throughout Athens and the rest of the state.
ARMC's direct expenditures amounted to more than $290 million in 2007, but when factored in with an economic multiplier developed by the U.S. Department of Commerce's Bureau of Economic Analysis, ARMC's total economic impact exceeded $717 million.
The output multiplier accounts for the "ripple" effect caused when hospitals spend directly in the community on things like medical supplies, equipment, medicines and food. The vendors the hospitals buy from then, in turn, spend money in the community, and a cycle of spending is created.
Athens' other health care center, St. Mary's, accounted for more than $330 million in revenue for the local economy in 2007, the GHA report found.
St. Mary's generated nearly $136.5 million in direct expenditures, which translated to roughly $337.4 million when the multiplier is factored in.
From a jobs perspective, St. Mary's provided full-time jobs for more than 2,400 people living in Athens and in more than a dozen surrounding counties in Northeast Georgia.
In addition, St. Mary's offered approximately $8.8 million in uncompensated care to patients, the GHA reported.
On a statewide basis, Georgia hospitals generated total direct expenditures of nearly $14.7 billion, creating a ripple effect worth more than $36 billion in 2007, according to the GHA's report.
State medical centers provided more than 144,300 jobs and total direct household earnings among hospital employees of $14.3 billion.
Georgia hospitals also provided more than $1.3 billion in uncompensated care, including more than $634 million in indigent and charity care.
Keep in mind that all these figures are from 2007. Imagine what the economic benefits are three years later when you factor in higher medical costs, hospital expansions and the growing field of specialists in our area, among other things.
The future looks bright as well with the first crop of first-year medical students scheduled to begin classes this fall at the Athens campus of the Medical College of Georgia, which is being run in cooperation with the University of Georgia.
The MCG satellite campus in Athens currently is located in a renovated mill building on Williams Street, but eventually will move to the Navy Supply Corps School campus on Prince Avenue, which is expected to be handed over to the University System in 2011.
Combined with an already robust medical community, the Athens MCG campus might be one of the biggest economic opportunities this area has seen in years.
A strong and healthy medical front helps make Athens such a great place in which to live.

Turn your HDD copy into version 1.0... then the Version 1 trainers will work...
How do i do this?
Well im not too sure which i have so how can i find out? Its on my HDD and no trainers work.
Thanks for any help
Posted 20 February 2007 - 09:25 PM
and make sure your getting certified trainers from maxconsole.
Posted 08 August 2008 - 02:31 PM
Does anyone know why?
Anything else that i can do, or try to get these trainer settings to work?
Do I need to patch something else to the Default.xbe file other than the patch to turn it from a version 2, to a 1 in order for the trainers to be active when selected?
Posted 14 August 2008 - 08:11 PM
Come on Z28.....I know you got the answer to this one!! Help a brotha out man!!!
Posted 15 August 2008 - 09:03 AM
xbox-scene used to e-mail me when replies are posted but I guess their system doesn't do that anymore....
Since I primarily do testing on my V1.0 game I just realized I never actually tested trainers one the 2.0 patched version. But since the patch makes the xbe identical in the process (and trainers only modify the xbe themselves) it should work. Well I just tested it and it indeed does work.
Couple things to check. What trainers are you using?
I'd recommend the one I used personally (note: this one if for NTSC only!)
I have yet to test the pal one but I've been told it works. it can be found here:
and one last thing is make sure to only enable ONE GAME AT A TIME.
other trainers WILL conflict when you try to run GTA even if the trainers are for a another game. turn em all off except the game your playing.
please note:
I do all trainer testing with the X-Chip Evox V1.3 Bios, not evox or xbmc. why? cause the x-chip rules
Edited by 82_Z28, 15 August 2008 - 09:12 AM.
Posted 15 August 2008 - 12:59 PM
I have so many trainers for GTA SA in my trainers folder it's gonna be a pain to find them all, but I am gonna do that this evening and then load the NTSC version trainer that you so graciously pointed me to and hopefully that will fix the problem.
A couple of questions though....
1) When you tested yours did it have the trainer symbol (yellow yield sign) in the bottom right like all of the other trainers do?
2) Did you notice the trainer working as soon as you turned the game on? Which trainer settings did you use to notice it immediately? Lotsa money, all stats?
I can't wait to try it this evening when I get home!!
Posted 16 August 2008 - 06:57 AM
like I said, I'm using the bios to handle the trainers, so no I don't see this.
yep, I defaulted to a new game (cause of some of my script tweaking from last week) and as soon as I was out of the cutscene I had 999999999$ infinite health ect.
the settings were: etm's loaded by X-Chip Evox V1.3
San Andreas (NTSC) [+17] v2.5 Evo-X Trainer:
Enable = true
lots of cash = yes
Infinite Ammo = yes
(and others)
and the game was launched from unleash X
Posted 21 August 2008 - 01:47 PM
I have an X3 modchip and the latest build of XBMC (T3CH).
Things that i have done from the start.......
1) went to e:/udata/545400a3/ (I believe that was the save folder name) folder and deleted all contents.
2) Opened up "ppf-o-matic" and used my "default.xbe" from my "GTA: SA" folder and used the "ppf patch (saV2.0 mod.ppf)".
3) FTP the newly patched file to the "GTA: SA" folder overwriting the original "default.xbe".
4) FTP the trainer file that you gave me to e:/XBMC/trainers/ and deleted all other trainers that i could find relating to "GTA: SA".
5) I rebooted my Xbox and went into my games section turned off all other trainers, and updated my trainers list.
6) Highlighted "GTA: SA" and pressed my "White" button to access the trainers list.
7) Found the +17 trainer and turned on the infinite health, lotsa money, and all skills cheats on and then pressed start.
8) I then entered the game and started a new one and the money went up to $350.00 just like usual.
Am I just sh*t out of luck???
I have been trying to find a version 1 at a rental store or something just to see if maybe that would work, but they are pretty hard to come by apparently.
I really don't know what else to try???
Anything that you see that i may have done wrong??
Posted 22 August 2008 - 09:00 AM
I setup mine using this guide here:
also note I used the trainer etm linked above and XBMC-SVN_2008-08-19_rev15026-T3CH
EDIT: I also tested my patched xbe using this setup as well
anywho my trainer is in the dir /C/Trainers/xorgtasav25.etm
and I setup XBMC to use the trainers dir C/Trainers/
if you have the etm inside its own folder it may not load (check that first)
next be sure to only have one etm per game in the trainers dir. perhaps its getting confused as to which one to load?
don't turn on any trainers till you see the grey trainer icon on the game icon. (refer to the link above for screenies)
if this still doesn't work I recommend trying out the xored xbe found in the usual places

CSM Althea Green Dixon became the top noncommissioned officer of Medical Command, after serving as the command sergeant major of North Atlantic Regional Medical Command and Walter Reed Army Medical Center. She also has held the same position at the Medical Research and Materiel Command and Fort Detrick, Md., and at the Southeast Regional Medical Command and Eisenhower Army Medical Center.
LTG Eric B. Schoomaker, who earlier in the day assumed command of Medical Command, passed Dixon the NCO sword representing her position. Schoomaker then recounted how he has come to rely on Dixon as they served four previous assignments together.
"Our Army has changed much over the last 30 years since I was a private, but two basic responsibilities of a noncommissioned officer have not changed ... accomplishment of my mission and the welfare of my Soldiers," Dixon said. "What has also not changed is how noncommissioned officers make this happen. We make this happen by sticking to the basics, we make this happen by enforcing standards, we make this happen by holding people accountable."
Earlier in her career, Dixon served at MEDDAC Alaska, Letterman Army Medical Center, 7th Medical Command, 36th Medical Battalion, 68th Medical Group, 30th Medical Brigade, 1st Cavalry Division, and the 25th Infantry Division.
While assigned to the 30th Medical Brigade, she deployed to Bosnia as part of the Implementation Force, and served as the brigade operations sergeant major during Operation Joint Endeavor.
Dixon received the General Ralph E. Haines Award for Outstanding Student Research when she graduated from the U.S. Army Sergeants Major Academy. She also has completed the Combat Medical Specialist Course; Ear, Nose and Throat Specialist Course; Battle Staff NCO Course; Joint Deployment Officer Course; and all levels of the NCO Education System.
Other professional achievements include her selection as the 1983 Health Services Command (now Medical Command) Soldier of the Year and membership in both the Sergeant Morales and the Sergeant Audie Murphy Clubs.
Dixon holds a Master of Science degree, and is a member of the American College of Healthcare Executives. She is also a member of the Order of Military Medical Merit.
Her awards and decorations include the Expert Field Medical Badge, the Legion of Merit, seven awards of the Meritorious Service Medal, four awards of the Army Commendation Medal, four awards of the Army Achievement Medal, the NATO Medal and numerous service medals.

Lately, I've been having an internal battle. Let's ponder together …
Last year I discovered Intuitive Eating, and have been working on cleansing my system of unhealthy thoughts and behaviors related to body image, weight loss, and fitness. I feel like I've been so thoroughly cleansed of these things that I've gone from one extreme to the other. I used to live at the gym, and not count anything that doesn't get me sweaty as exercise, and vet every bite of food before it hit my mouth. Now I spend maybe 20 minutes a few times a week doing activity, and that is COUNTING non-sweaty activities; not only that, but I don't really care about what I eat any more — my one rule is this: as long as I'm not allergic to it, I eat it. Although some of these attitudes have developed because I've been injured and have started a challenging venture, I think a big part of me is afraid that by wanting to pay attention to how I look is going against everything I've learned this last year, and I could wind up going down the path of ED / body image hell again.
Here is the deal: for once, I finally love my body. I'm getting to where it functions the way I like (I can run again!). I look DAMN good naked and in most of my clothes. These factors have been telling me me that I don't really need to change anything.
HOWEVER, no matter how much I love the way I look, it came to my attention that I no longer fit into ANY of my dress clothes — as in the zipper doesn't budge. And although the weight seems to have been gained in my chest (woo hoo!), I don't like not fitting into my favorite things — which are average, not ridiculous, sizes.
I've been thinking about these things a little bit, and coincidentally, last week I read a wonderful post by Alicia from Jaybird Blog, which was titled, "Can you Love Your Body AND Want to Change It?", which got me thinking more. Alicia has been working on a group Love Your Body Resolution this year, which is why her blog caught my attention recently. After reading her post, which stated that you CAN love your body AND want to improve / change it, I realized that I no longer have any goals related to how I look, but instead all my fitness goals are related to how my body functions. For example, I set a goal to run 5 miles again this year (notice that there is no speed attached to that either!), do 200 situps, and be able to do a tripod head stand. These are all functional goals, but my body will likely change in form to achieve these aspirations of mine — but my body's aesthetics are no longer the end goal.
With all of this knowledge at hand, I've decided to try to lose a bit of weight and / or tone up. But, can I try to lose weight or tone up without throwing out all the things I learned from Intuitive Eating / fitness? I think so.
Here is what I'm NOT planning to do to fit into my clothes:
- I refuse to weigh or measure myself and am planning to use my clothes to track my progress.
- I'm not going to count calories*.
- I'm not going to look at macros*.
- I'm not going to spend specific times at the gym doing specific things to burn more calories*.
- I'M NOT GOING TO OBSESS OVER IT. <==== that might be the most important thing on this list.
So what IS my plan to fit into my clothes again? My plan is pretty simple: I didn't gain weight overnight. I gained it slowly by exercising less and eating more crap. So I can lose the weight just as easily as I gained it by being more active and eating more nutritious food and less crap. Easy. Peasy.
To help motivate me to move more, I bought a FitBit. Some of my friends have these and love them, and they say that their favorite part is that the FitBit shows you how active you've been, and challenges you to move a bit more. I need that challenge to move, especially since my usual form of moving (gym time) is limited. It's been nicer out, so I've been walking to work and back, which ends up being six miles by the end of the day. If you add in all my normal walking (up and down stairs since the elevator at work is always broken, and across campus to meetings, class, and to check my mail), I usually end up walking between 8-10 miles a day, according to the FitBit.
Another feature of the FitBit that I enjoy is the sleep tracking. Turns out that not only do I not go to sleep at a decent time (thank you, Kindle, Netflix, Buzzfeed, etc.), when I do go to sleep, I wake up a bunch of times in the middle of the night. I know sleep is a huge part of maintaining general health, and, by proxy, a healthy weight. So I'm trying to put the kabash on electronics at night. What's really hard about eliminating electronics at night is those devices allow me to communicate with Mark. If I could just shut everything else out and only receive notifications of his messages, then I could better manage my time with these devices, but unfortunately, there's no way to only receive his messages other than actually talking. We've tried talking at night, but then neither of us sleep because we are too excited about talking. I'm really not sure what to do about this at this juncture, especially since our time is limited and the only time we have to talk is at night. I'll keep thinking on that. But in the meantime, I'm going to focus on getting to bed at a decent time.
Finally, another feature of the FitBit that I love is the silent alarm. If you wear the tracker to bed at night, it not only tracks your movement in your sleep, it can wake you up with a vibrating alarm. The thing about this that I like is that it's harder to escape because I'm typically too tired to take the thing off, and if I do manage to take the tracker off, it vibrates on my side table and wakes me up anyway. There is no snooze button for this sucker.
Sorry — I didn't mean for that to turn into a review of FitBit, but that thing has seriously been helping me get motivated to be active in creative ways other than spending my limited time at the gym.
Anywho, what do you think?
Do you think wanting to slim down again goes against everything I've learned about Intuitive Eating and exercise?
Those of you who are recovering from an eating disorder or other body image issues, have you felt these same feelings of guilt around wanting to change?
*I know that I can lose MORE weight FASTER by tracking calories and macros and all that stuff, but I do not want to go down that road again. I'm not interested in dropping weight fast. I'm not interested in being a bikini model. I just want to be healthy and as a bonus, fit in my favorite flippin' clothes and look as hot as I currently do.

This is such a thoughtful and helpful post–I really appreciate your support of the LYB series! That post in particular was contributed by Kourtney Thomas, an awesome running coach and personal trainer who is the best combo of pro-fitness and movement AND pro-LYB.
I am so tempted by the FitBit…a lot of my friends use it and have informal step competitions going on. The sleep feature is what I really dig; I think it could potentially shock me into really banning electronics after 9pm. Even though I know it's bad, somehow I occasionally end up on the laptop in bed til 11 or 12. Not that that happened last night or anything…
If you're thinking about it, I will tell you that I haven't gotten dragged into looking at calories, food, etc. even though it has those capabilities. I haven't gotten dragged into a step competition either. However, in the AM when I'm thinking about driving to work, knowing that if I walk to work instead of driving that I'll be at the top of my friends list for daily steps DOES help me.
The sleep function is my favorite part of the fitbit for sure. I've found that I get 6.5 hours of sleep as opposed to the 8-9 that I thought I was getting. Not much I can do about this unless I want to go to bed at 8 PM and be an hour late for work every day, but it's still good to know.
Emily (@FitandFreeEmily) says:
This is something that is a huge issue in the body-acceptance community, and one that I simply refuse to take issue with.
If you're laying love as a foundation (for ANY action), than you're doing it right. You can absolutely love your body/self and still recognize that you want to keep it fit and healthy. I don't see how anyone can argue with that!
I think your plans sound great for your personal journey. You're taking into account what's been working for you (not tracking) and what's not been working for you. KUDOS!
I hear you. I can't handle the body-acceptance community just about as much as I can't handle the HLB community some days. All the judging and expectations — no thanks. You're the second person who said that if we're doing something out of love and not negativity, then it's a healthy thing.
Kourtney Thomas says:
This is a great post, Calee! I'm so glad you got something out of my post on Jaybird 🙂 I think you are right on with wanting to make some changes, and that you are going about it in a healthy way. It definitely seems like you're going in with the right perspective! Using your clothing as a gauge and the fitbit will be great tools in your journey. I truly believe that your goals support your intuitive eating and exercise – these things can work together 🙂
Thanks for writing that guest post on Alicia's blog. It was a catalyst for me to quit being worried about this and just do what I want.
Kourtney Thomas says:
That's fantastic – pretty much the best result I could ever have hoped for in a post!
Tamara says:
I absolutely think you can love your body and want to change it. In fact, I think loving our bodies is the BEST place from which to make such changes, because we're not doing it from a place of self-loathing (which can invariably lead to self-destructive behaviors). Loving ourselves (inside and out) makes it so much easier to do great things for our insides and outs. 🙂
I think your plan sounds grand! xo
Thanks, m'lady! You make a great point about doing things out of love and not from negativity.

A third of the permanent snow and ice on the Southern Alps
has vanished in less than four decades, according to an
analysis of aerial surveys.
In an article published on Australian website The
Conversation, three Kiwi researchers describe the story of
the alps' disappearing ice as very dramatic.
The analysis, by climate scientist Dr Jim Salinger, Otago
University Professor Emeritus Blair Fitzharris and
glaciologist Dr Trevor Chinn, follows on from a paper
published by Dr Chinn last year documenting the retreat of
our postcard glaciers.
Partly using aerial surveys by the National Institute of
Water and Atmospheric Research, the three authors have
calculated the alps' ice volume has shrunk by 18.4cu km or 34
per cent - and those ice losses have been accelerating
rapidly in the past 15 years.
When compared with rapid glacier retreats in many parts of
the world, the loss raised serious questions about future sea
level rise and coastal climate impacts, they said.
In 1977, Dr Chinn began taking aerial photographs to measure
the annual end-of-summer snowline for 50 index glaciers
throughout the Southern Alps, which are still taken by Niwa.
He and his colleagues have now used Niwa results to calculate
the annual glacier mass balance, and to quantify the volume
changes of small to medium glaciers in the alps.
These glaciers responded quickly to annual variability of
weather and climate, and were in balance with the current
But this wasn't so for the 12 largest glaciers, among them
the Tasman and Godley, which had a thick layer of insulating
rocks on top of the ice lower down the glaciers' trunk.
"Their response to new snow at the top is subdued, and may
take many decades to respond," the authors wrote. "Up until
the 1970s, their surfaces lowered like sinking lids
maintaining their original areas. Thereafter, glacial lakes
have formed and they have undergone rapid retreat and ice
To make the calculations, they used the snowline survey data
along with earlier topographic maps and a GPS survey of the
ice levels of the largest glaciers to calculate total
ice-volume changes for the Southern Alps up until this year.
Over that time, they said, the ice volume had fallen by 34
per cent, or from 54.5cu km to 36.1cu km in water
Of that reduction, 40 per cent was from the 12 largest
glaciers, and 60 per cent was from the small to medium-sized
Veteran mountain guide Shaun Norman described their
calculations as astonishing but unsurprising.
An injury in 2000 had kept him off the high alps since then,
but even before, the changes had been visible, he told the
"One could see that less snow dumps in quite a few years
meant pieces of rock which you knew were always covered
suddenly were staying clear for 12 months of the year, and
getting bigger."
The World Glacier Monitoring Service estimated the 1890s
extent of ice volume in the Southern Alps was 170cu km,
compared with 36.1cu km now - a change the authors said was
evidence of the local effects of global warming.
Based on regional warming projections of 1.5C to 2.5C, it has
been projected by glaciologists Valentina Radic and Regine
Hock that just7 to 12cu km of ice would remain on the alps by
the end of this century.

Hi, I'm having a problem getting YouTube videos to play in a FancyBox pop-up when they're in a sidebar. I've used both a simple text widget and Video Sidebar Widget to get the YouTube thumbnail into the sidebar, but when clicked the videos just play in the sidebar.
Video Sidebar Widget doesn't allow you to input the actual URL, just the video ID. With the text widget though, YouTube's own embed code (inside iframe tags) doesn't work when clicked. I can, by using <a class="fancybox-youtube" href etc, get the video to play in the pop-up, but that's from a text link, not a thumbnail.
Is there any way to get both? Thanks.

--The Bulls increased their roster to 13 players by signing veteran point guard Nate Robinson. Best known as a dunk contest champion, Robinson has been a potent scorer in the past and produced a career-high 4.5 assists last season for Golden State.
Robinson might seem like an odd choice, but he does have experience with coach Tom Thibodeau from a half-season they spent together in Boston. Robinson will likely back up Kirk Hinrich at point guard early this season. When Derrick Rose returns from knee surgery, the Bulls plan to use him at shooting guard sometimes to ease the stress on his legs.
--The 2012-12 schedule has been released, and the most important game for the Bulls will be the one where guard Derrick Rose returns to the court after ACL surgery. When that happens is anyone's guess. Will he be back for the Feb. 21 date against Miami, the first home game after the All-Star break? The Bulls have two games scheduled for ABC later in the season -- March 10 at the Lakers and April 14 at Miami.
The Bulls will open the season against Sacramento at the United Center on Oct. 31. They'll play six of the first seven games at home. Then the annual "circus" road trip in November is unusual because it's only five games long. Usually, the Bulls are gone for at least seven games, sometimes more.
"If the Olympics were next month, I'd play again. This is something no one will ever take away. I'm always going to remember this moment, walking out for the opening ceremonies and playing with guys I played with my whole life." -- Forward Luol Deng on his Olympic experience playing for Great Britain.

"And if you can't be with the one you love, honey
Love the one you're with"
This one line from a Stephen Stills song is used as a metaphor for the love lives of David, Sam and Maria as unresolved feelings between Shelly/Sam and David/Maria highlight this episode of "The Mountain. We also learn more about Whit and Ginnie while Colin throws in a job offer to Maria in an attempt to break up either Will's relationship with Maria or his partnership with David.
If you're down and confused
And you don't remember who you're talkin' to
Concentration slip away
'Cause your baby is so far away
Max and Michael are out of town visiting their mother and Sam is spending more and more time with Scarlett so David and Shelly are left to their own devices. Shelly yearns for approval from her father to the point of absorbing physical abuse from his training methods David still involved in an ambivalent relationship with Max realizes he would rather be with his first love, Maria.
Well, there's a rose in a fisted glove
And the eagle flies with the dove
And if you can't be with the one you love, honey
Love the one you're with
Sam is enjoying the conjugal benefits of his relationship with Scarlett but he still yearns for his unrequited love, Shelly. He asks David if sex is as important as love but David, wrestling with his own issues, responds with the Stephen Stills lyric adroitly avoiding an answer.
Don't be angry, don't be sad
Don't sit cryin' over good times you've had
There's a girl right next to you
And she's just waiting for something to do
It turns out that in addition to being Gennie's husband and father of her three children, Whit was an abusive coach who drove Ginnie's to her Olympic gold medal winning performance. Gennie's attempt to protect Shelly from Whit's brutal training methods backfires when Shelly over hears a conversation between her parents and takes Gennie's comments to mean that her mother doesn't believe she has what it takes to become a champion.
Turn your heartache right into your joy
She's a girl, and you're a boy
Get it together make it nice
Ain't gonna need anymore advice
Colin's offers Marie a job in his headquarters in New York causing Will to proposes to Maria and suggest that he give up his family, the job he has been raised to perform, make her the center of his life and to follow her to New York. At this point Maria realizes that she really wants to be with David.
Why did Whit return to Boundary Mountain? The cliffhanger ending of "Pop Psychology" hinted that Colin Dowling and Travis were involved in Whit's decision. In this episode we learn that Colin has been financing Whit. Is he merely another instrument of Colin Dowling's revenge or is he using Dowling to further his own agenda?
Some Random Thoughts:
With ten episodes aired it as good a time as any to review and update the major characters and plot lines. Series regulars are at best a mixed bag. With some exceptions the characters are boring and the acting amateurish. They are not helped by scripts, which bypass any opportunity to use the scenery and action on the slopes in favor of sexual tensionÂ… well not much tension as at almost every opportunity characters are jumping between the sheets as the camera pans away.
First, the good…
Colin Dowling, portrayed by X-Files veteran Mitch Pileggi, is the most consistent character in the series. He wants to take Boundary Mountain away from the Carvers and will use any weapon he can find to accomplish this goal. Following David Carver Senior's death he corrupted Travis and sent his daughter to distract David Carver while he tried to buy the property. When the initial attempt failed he purchased the St George Hotel in Boundary and moved his family operation to this mountain paradise. He rationalizes Max's ongoing affair with David as contributing to his goal. Other than the disastrous turkey hunt, every move he makes has been an attempt to accomplish his goal of redeeming his family honor by wresting Boundary Mountain from the heirs of Carver Sr. who he considered a card cheat.
Sam Tunney is Shelly Carver's childhood friend and snowboard teammate. He lives with his alcoholic father and looks to the Carver family for the emotional support that his father is unable to provide. Sam's father played by Buffy and Angel veteran James Masters has appeared in only one episode but hopefully series producers will realize there is a bounty of drama in Sam's situation. Well acted by Penn Badgley, Sam acted as Shelly's protector when her risky behavior placed her in jeopardy until she breaks into a home Sam was taking care of for a romp with Michael Carver. Sam has become sexually involved with a Boundary employee named Scarlett but he has stated that he wished to become closer to Shelly.
Tommy Dewey as Michael Dowling is the son and heir apparent to a wealthy father he can't stand. We know that he was wandering aimlessly through the course catalog of a good (Ivy League) college when his father pulled him out of school and brought him to Boundary Mountain. He had a romantic flirtation with sixteen-year-old Shelly Carver that good sense and an appreciation of rape laws has segued into a role of big brother and protector. His biting sarcasm plays beautifully against Colin's intense drive and Dewey completely overshadows Johann Urb's cardboard cutout, Travis.
The average…
Elizabeth Bogush plays Max Dowling as a strong independent woman who defies her equally strong father by maintaining her relationship, however rocky, with David Carver. Boguish's performance is uneven. He best scenes are when she is the aggressive, sarcastic Max playing off Pileggi's Colin. Her scenes with David and Travis are weak. Perhaps she needs more talent to play off in order to display her talent. Attractive enough to handle the vixen, Max has been mostly victim in her relationship with David.. Her one attempt to move forward in the relationship by requesting a drawer in David's cabin to store some personal things was met with hesitation and the request was quickly withdrawn. In "Pop Psychology" she finally stood her ground and resisted David's puppy dog attempts to return to a sexual relationship in favor of a wait and see attitude.
Maria Serrano, played by soap veteran Alana De La Garza, was David's high school love but she left him first for Travis and then moved on the Will. She is responsible for organizing special events for Boundary Mountain including Gennie's charity functions. From time to time she is used to create tension between Will and David but beyond that she functions as arm candy for Will. This may be changing. In this episode she accepts Will's proposal but realizes that she is still in love with David.
Shelly Carver is the sixteen years old sister of Will and David and an aspiring competitive snowboarder. She flirted for a time with Michael Dowling while taking for granted the attentions of childhood friend Sam. When Sam became involved with an older employee of the mountain she realized that she wants Sam to be more than a friend. Tara C. Thompson, described as a newcomer, is barely believable in her role as the woman-child who takes more risks off the slopes than on.
And the awful
David Carver is this soap opera's protagonist. However, Oliver Hudson as David is not an actor with the ability to carry the lead in a weekly series. His previous work as Eddie Dooling on Dawson's Creek was a supporting role where Katie Holmes overshadowed his talent. In "The Mountain" he has yet to display the breadth necessary for his character. The only emotional change David has shown is anger toward Travis. In the confrontation with his father at Thanksgiving Hudson delivers his lines like he was ordering pizza.
Ginnie Carver played by veteran actress Barbara Hershey is a former Olympic skiing champion and divorced from the father of her three children. In the pilot she express her disdain for Boundary Mountain, cares only about her children and her various charity foundations. We find out in this episode that she married her coach and suffered from his training style. She is concerned that Whit's attempt to become Shelly's trainer will lead to the kinds of abuse she suffered under his tutelage. In addition Whit gets bored easily. Ginnie knew that and knew what she had to do to keep him interested. She wonders what Shelly would have to do when Whit get bored of training her. Hershey has the talent to make more of his role but until this episode she seemed to mail in her performance.
Will Carver is David's older brother. He grew up learning the family business. When David was named as heir he was resentful but quickly joined his brother in fending off Colin Dowling's takeover attempt. Will is involved with David's high school girl friend, Maria Serrano, and is insecure in Maria's loyalty where David is concerned. When Colin Dowling offers Maria a job in New York City he first offers her a raise but quickly proposes marriage. Anson Mount plays what could be a juicy role as plain vanilla.
Travis Kurri functions as a second antagonist to the Carvers. We are told that Travis "grew up as David Sr's faithful protégé but his loyalties no longer lie with the Carvers but with ruthless business tycoon Colin Dowling [Source The WB} The only additional detail we have is that he came to Boundary as an immigrant, was taught English by David Sr. and that he is a chronic womanizer. Johann Urb has yet to display anything that resembles acting. Without checking I imagine that he is a former male model who came to acting with his looks and little else.
The Verdict:
"The one you're with" started with a good idea but never fulfills its promise. Eliminating Max and Michael from the story line allowed and character development for Ginnie and Whit but the dialogue was flat and this was action was boring unless you enjoy two teenagers breaking into a couple's bedroom and jumping on top of them. The audience for this show is too young to reminisce to the 70's when "Love The One You're With" was on the frequent play list of many radio stations but the point was made in the behavior of Sam. David and Maria. There are three more new episodes planned, one next week. Fans of the series should make a point of watching, as they may not have a chance to see them again. As for "The One Your With", every time I review it looking for usable quotes my rating goes down.

Rodgers has Cal thinking Rose Bowl
Originally Published: April 16, 2004By Ivan Maisel | ESPN.com
BERKELEY, Calif. -- On a chilly spring day at Memorial Stadium, California quarterback Aaron Rodgers is throwing crossfield bullets, lofting fades, zinging clotheslines down the middle, and all with a one-step drop.
In coach Jeff Tedford's offense, Rodgers threw last year from three- , five- and seven-step drops. The one-step is not a new chapter in the Tedford playbook, which is already like calculus with shoulder pads. This is Rodgers after knee surgery in January to repair his left ACL, ...

By Brendan Gilmartin
Synchronoss Technologies (NASDAQ:SNCR) is scheduled to report 3Q 2011 earnings after the close of trading on Tuesday, November 1. After slipping to as low as $23 earlier this month, Synchronoss shares are up more than 30%, having recaptured the 200-Day SMA near $30. The shift in momentum is partially attributable to the early response to Apple's (NASDAQ:AAPL) iPhone 4S. Earlier this month, the company disclosed it was expanding its role in the activation process for the popular device, while providing services to Verizon (NYSE:VZ), Sprint-Nextel (NYSE:S), and AT&T (NYSE:T).
For its part, Sychronoss provides software and activation services for mobile carriers. Synchronoss' SmartMobility integrated with the ConvergenceNow Plus platform enables users to activate or update new devices more seamlessly, while synchronizing contacts and content using cloud-enabled technology. With the growing adoption of smart phones in the U.S. and abroad, Synchronoss is benefiting from the trends in closed computing and adoption of connected devices.
Synchronoss previously indicated it expects non-GAAP EPS in the range of $0.21 to $0.22 on revenue of $57 to $59 million, an increase of 22% to 26% over the previous year. Given the recent advance in the share price and improving sentiment, results at the mid-range or below company estimates could prove to be disappointing.
Chart Review
- Synchronoss shares recently climbed back above the 200-Day SMA for the first time since early August. That will be a key level to watch in reaction to the earnings release.
- There is soft resistance near $33, followed by the recent highs at $35.
- Support is at $28/$29, followed by $27 (20-Day SMA).
- The upward-sloping Relative Strength Index (RSI), improving MACD, and 20-Day SMA crossover above the 50-Day all reflect the improving momentum.
- Note that short interest is fairly high at nearly 15% of the float, offering potential support in the event of a downside surprise.

Redcliffe, Queensland
|9,201 (2011 census)[1]
|13 September 1824
|28 km (17 mi) NNE of Brisbane CBD
|Moreton Bay Region
|State electorate(s)
|Federal Division(s)
Redcliffe is a residential suburb of the Brisbane metropolitan area located within Moreton Bay Region LGA in the north-east of the Redcliffe peninsula, approximately 28 kilometres (17 mi) north-north-east of the Brisbane CBD. It serves as the Central Business District for the Redcliffe Peninsula and its surrounding suburbs.
Redcliffe is part of the statistical division of Brisbane.
The town's name originates from "Red Cliff Point" named by the explorer John Oxley. Redcliffe became Queensland's first colony in 1824; however, it was soon abandoned for Brisbane.
Since the 1880s, Redcliffe has been a popular seaside resort location due to its proximity to Brisbane.
It is served by a small general aviation airfield, Redcliffe Airport (ICAO: YRED), located 2.5 nautical miles (4.6 km; 2.9 mi) northwest of Redcliffe in the suburb of Rothwell.
In the 2011 census, the population of Redcliffe was 9,201; 52% female and 48% male.[1]
The median age of the Redcliffe population was 44 years of age, 7 years above the Australian median. Children aged under 15 years made up 15.5% of the population and people aged 65 years and over made up 20.7% of the population.
68.4% of people living in Redcliffe were born in Australia, compared to the national average of 69.8%; the next most common countries of birth were England 7%, New Zealand 6.3%, Scotland 1%, Philippines 0.8%, Netherlands 0.7%.
86.8% of people spoke only English at home; the next most popular languages were 0.5% Italian, 0.4% Tagalog, 0.4% German, 0.3% Dutch, 0.3% Samoan.
Before European settlement, the Redcliffe Peninsula was occupied by the indigenous Ningy Ningy people. The native name is Kau-in-Kau-in, which means Blood-Blood (red-like blood).[2]
Redcliffe holds the distinction of being the first European settlement in Queensland, first visited by Matthew Flinders on 17 July 1799.[3] Explorer John Oxley recommended "Red Cliff Point" – named after the red-coloured cliffs visible from Moreton Bay – to the Governor Thomas Brisbane for the new colony, reporting that ships could land at any tide and easily get close to the shore.[4] The party settled in Redcliffe on 13 September 1824, under the command of Lieutenant Henry Miller with 14 soldiers, some with wives and children, and 29 convicts. However, this settlement was abandoned after one year and the colony was moved south to a site on the Brisbane River at North Quay, 28 km (17 mi) south, that offered a more reliable water supply.[5]
Redcliffe became a pastoral district in the 1860s and in the 1880s boomed as a seaside resort town with the paddlesteamer Koopa making regular trips to its jetty from 1911.
The Hornibrook Bridge connecting Clontarf in the Town of Redcliffe to Brighton in City of Brisbane was completed in 1935 and allowed easy access to and from Brisbane by motor car leading the way to rapid suburban development.[6]
In 1958, The Gibb family from Manchester, England emigrated to this area and called it home for a period. Barry, Robin and Maurice Gibb went on to form the highly successful music group, The Bee Gees. In 1959, Brisbane based Speedcar driver Bill Goode, the promoter of the Redcliffe Speedway (located at the Redcliffe Showgrounds) hired the brothers to entertain the crowds at the speedway from the back of a truck during the interval. This was the first ever public performance by the trio.[7] In a letter to the Redcliffe Museum in 1999, Barry Gibb wrote "The smell of the oil, the noise and the atmosphere was incredible. This was the first public appearance Robin, Maurice and I ever made in Australia. We sang through the PA system and people threw money onto the track, and we met Brisbane's leading DJ and racing car driver Bill Gates, who suggested we call ourselves the BG's and even played our songs on his radio show, "Swinging' Gates' Platter Chatter". Hence Redcliffe became the birthplace of the Bee Gees."
The first high-rise apartment building was "Redcliffe Towers" at 89 Marine Parade which were finished in 1974. The following year, "Warwick Tower" at 51 Marine Parade was then constructed allowing for a new building height limit of eight storeys in the area. Currently, Redcliffe has a height restriction of twelve storeys along its main strip and new development is continually in the pipeline, just like everywhere else within a 100 km radius, as the current roads, housing, healthcare and basic services necessary are no where near equipt or adequate for the constantly growing population.
Heritage listings[edit]
Redcliffe has a number of heritage-listed sites, including:
- Anzac Avenue: Anzac Memorial Avenue[8]
- 395 Oxley Avenue: Redcliffe Fire Station[9]
- 133-137 Redcliffe Parade: Comino's Arcade[10]
- 185 Redcliffe Parade: former Redcliffe Town Council Chambers[11]
Attractions and features[edit]
Attractions such as Suttons Beach, Redcliffe Jetty, Settlement Cove Lagoon, Redcliffe Museum, Redcliffe Botanic Gardens and Redcliffe Showgrounds are all within the suburb of Redcliffe. Well established restaurants including Sails On Suttons, The Redcliffe Town Icecreamery, Mon Komo Hotel and The Jetty Cafe are all found along the foreshore.
Every Sunday morning the Jetty Markets are held along Redcliffe Parade.
In September each year, Redcliffe celebrates its history as Queensland's first European settlement location with the Redcliffe Festival's 'Redcliffe Remembers' event. This festival is chiefly held in the Redcliffe CBD with Redcliffe Parade being closed off to traffic for most of the day. Other events as part of this festival include the Redcliffe KiteFest, The Jetty Fiesta, KiteFest Live and Spring Break Beach Party.
A statue and walkway in honour of the Bee Gees, which was unveiled by Barry Gibb on 14 February 2013. Barry returned to open the second stage of the walkway on 9 September 2015.[12]
- Southern Cross Catholic College
- Redcliffe State High School
- Redcliffe Special School
Sport and recreation[edit]
A number of well-known sporting teams represent the local area. Some of them are the well known Sandgate-Redcliffe Gators, Redcliffe Dolphins, Redcliffe Tigers and Redcliffe Padres. Redcliffe hosts the only harness racing in Queensland that is North of Brisbane at the Redcliffe Harness Racing & Sporting Club.[13]
