AbstractTo reduce particulate matter (PM) in diesel exhaust gas, a diesel particulate filter (DPF) has been developed. The thermal durability of existing platinum catalyst-supported DPFs is inadequate. We are focusing on a non-catalytic after-treatment of silicon carbide (SiC) fibers with highly thermal durability. In this study, we simulated the processes of soot deposition and oxidation. Results show that even in exhaust gas without soot, a complex flow pattern is observed. The porosity of the filter is not constant along the flow direction, and the pressure gradient varies. The friction factor is slightly larger than the predicted value by the empirical equation in uniform porous media flow. Since the soot deposition occurs inside the filter, the depth filtration by SiC fibers was confirmed. In addition, the effects of filter temperature and oxygen concentration are clearly revealed. That is, comparing the oxidation at 700 °C, the deposited soot amount at 1200 and 1400 °C is decreased by 60% and 92%, respectively. Raising the oxygen concentration from 10% to 20% increases the oxidation efficiency from 42% to 64%. Although more work is needed over a wide range of operating conditions, a combination of these two parameters is important to achieve the non-catalytic exhaust after-treatment.

LUMSDEN, Sask. -- The general manager of the Saskatchewan ATV Association said that a "troubling upward trend" in fatal crashes shows the need for mandatory training.
The province had its fifth fatal crash of the year Wednesday, and set a record in 2013 with eight ATV fatalities. Speed was believed to be a factor in the most recent crash, and the victim was not wearing a helmet.
John Meed, general manager of SATVA, told the StarPhoenix that crashes will likely increase unless the provincial government steps in to mandate safety training.
"It takes a lot of skill to operate these machines, especially in rough terrain," Meed said. "It's even worse than a car. Things can happen fairly quickly on an ATV if you're bouncing off a rock or bouncing off a branch or trying to climb things."
Anyone over the age of 16 with a valid driver's license can operate an ATV, but riders must wear helmets when driving off their own properties. In December, Meed asked the provincial government to consider requiring ATVs to be registered, like snowmobiles. But unlike snowmobiles, which are actually used for transportation, many people only use ATVs as recreational vehicles, on private property.

Gianfranco Baruchello
°1924 Livorno, Italy
Baruchello lives and works in Rome. His circle of friends has included Marcel Duchamp, Alberto Grifi, Umberto Eco and Jean-Francois Lyotard.
Baruchello has made numerous experimental films. In "La Verifica Incerta" (1964), he fashioned a montage of scraps cut from American advertising footage to tell an ironic non-story.
Since the 1960's the artist has also created objects in the spirit of Roman Pop art.
For his first exhibition at Galerie Greta Meert in 2004, Baruchello showed a recent series of paintings on white grounds teeming with tiny figures, comic-strip details and image fragments. Single words floating freely amidst the imagery disrupt any suggestion of narrative flow or logic and redirect attention to the spaces between language and vision, and between one image and another.

This book, without any pretense, presents only one side of the health care picture as it exists in this country today. As the title indicates, the voluntary health care viewpoint, as opposed to government-sponsored health care, is not only presented, but championed.
The editor has collected a series of articles and speeches by prominent physicians, economists, and insurance experts. This type of presentation can result in lack of continuity and repetition, and, unfortunately, with regard to this particular book both of these criticisms are valid. The editor acknowledges this in the introduction but feels that the advantages of the format outweigh the disadvantages. I must take some exception to this because, in my opinion, they both detract significantly from the effectiveness of the material presented. Also, most of the book consists of reproductions of speeches and articles delivered or published, in some instances, more than five years ago, and no

Wine of
the Week: The 2012 Jaboulet Parallele 45 Côtes du Rhône rose is dry and clean,
and it goes with almost everything.
tomato growing season extends to November in California, then who's to say that
rose season can't extend through October? This year, more wine shops have
stocked ever more roses, and it's been fun tasting them. One that I discovered
late in the season is Parallele 45 from the respected Rhone house of Jaboulet.
Made from a blend of Grenache and Cinsault with a little Syrah, this rose from
the Côtes du Rhône is a bargain at $10.
not going to outclass Domaine Tempier rose, but for a big dinner party, this is
the one. Dry and clean, it tastes of wild strawberries and gentle spices, a
good foil for classic tapenade spread on toasts, vegetarian dishes, late summer
pasta dishes and more. I've been enjoying a glass as an aperitif with some
olives and toasted almonds.
Rhone Valley, France
About $10
What it
goes with: Pretty much everything but a steak

Scientists meeting in Yokohama have come out with a damning indictment of the way climate change is being handled. Issuing a stark warning about the most dangerous challenge facing humanity, the UN report paints a gloomy and disappointing picture of the future of humanity if there is no action to contain the surge in greenhouse gases that are primarily responsible for the rise in global temperatures.
The post-Industrial Revolution society has seen a surge in automation processes — the automobile, heavy machinery, chemical processes and burning of fossil fuels — leading to a debilitating load on natural systems like air and water. The atmosphere, with its vital mixture of gases has become the biggest casualty in an intrigue of development that has leapfrogged society into new paradigms featuring systems providing the highest comfort levels. Gas is extracted to provide warming across half the world where winter temperatures make life hard. Petrol and diesel are used not only in public transport, but also in luxurious gas guzzlers like private aircraft and large trucks used for something as banal as buying daily provisions. The report warns that our health, homes, food, and safety are all threatened by rising temperatures.
The report, partly leaked last week in the media, as expected has come out with a harsh critique of the indifference with which climate change has been treated. It says people will be affected by flooding and heat-related mortality. The report warns of new risks including the threat to those who work outside, such as farmers and construction workers. There are concerns raised over migration linked to climate change, as well as conflict and national security.
Report co-author Maggie Opondo of the University of Nairobi said that in places such as Africa, climate change and extreme events mean "people are going to become more vulnerable to sinking deeper into poverty". By drawing a link between climate change and migration, the report has stirred a subject that has political ramifications across the globe. Displacement of people affected by conflicts is an issue already being debated by the international community and informs major discussions at the United Nations. Some nations are already grappling with conflict related migration. If climate change is going to drive exodus, the world doesn't have much time to ponder. Climate has been the most vexed issue confronting humanity recently. It is a war in its own way. At major international forums, what divides nations the most after border disputes is who should foot the bill of rising carbon emissions. Increasing carbon footprint is driving the agenda of international environmental organisations and pushing groups like Greenpeace to work harder.
The report shouldn't become another document to shed tears over. It should propel major world powers into immediate action beyond the sanctity of avowed steps.

St. John Knits Is Loved by Women all world-wide, and many questions are asked.
St. John Knits is a American Company that is Located in Irvine California, Beginning in the 1960's Marie Gray made her mark in the fashion Industry by creating some of the best knits know to women.
With her creativity and thoughts of the hard working women she designed knits that make a statement. These precious knits are worn all over the world. Marie Gray has designed her collections to be worn for all occasions. From business to evening and casual wear you can't miss the class and style of a St. John Knit.
St. John knits designed these amazing garments with travel in mind. Most of her knits are made out of the miraculous Santana Knit which is a brilliant combination of 80% Wool and 20% Rayon. This blend allows the knit to be packed in a suitcase without the traveler's concern for wrinkles.
There are several processes that can be done to the knits by professionals who specialize in alterations. There is a process called "Wet-Blocking," which is done by wetting the garment than pinning it out on a board to the desired dimensions, and then letting them dry, usually over several days. There is another process called "Steam-Blocking," which is done with either a good iron or steamer. This process adds inches to the knits while holding their shape without damaging the knit. Usually no more that 2 inches can be added by either process. Finally, Altering can be done to many of the knits to reduce the size. Some of the knits that have embellishment, such as Pailettes or Stones, are usually hand set and secured with an adhesive. These garments may be more challenging so it is imperative to check with your alteration professional to make sure your needs can be met before purchasing any garment. It is crucial to make sure your buttons are covered with foil before cleaning! This will protect the gold on the buttons and reduce tarnishing. In addition, buttons with stones may need to be removed for cleaning and re-sewn after. This will protect the tiny stones from falling out during the cleaning process.
Remember, even a moth hole or fade mark can be repaired. There are many reputable private companies that specialize in these procedures and can bring your knits back to life. All these processes should be done by experts that are familiar with these knits. Remember, St. John Knits are an investment and if you take proper care of them, they will last forever.
Color Concerns:
Santana Knit in the color "Bright White" can oxidize over time because of the Rayon content. This can make it difficult to match your other "Bright White" pieces to. This will happen over time from normal wear, cleanings and sun light. Good storage will help protect them from some of this. Once they have oxidized, there is no way to get the original color back.
Navy items can also be hard to match. This is also caused from normal wear and dry cleaning chemicals. Also, Navy's can be problematic to match. St. John had a "dye lot problem" in 2003, (which has since been resolved,) so it is important to take your Navy pieces with you when shopping so you can find the best match possible.

Trends: Ombre & Smashing!
Something that has been popping up recently, is the Ombre trend. "Ombre (with an accent over the e) is defined as having colors or tones that shade into each other."-quoted from the ScrapFIT Blog. I've been wanting to give this a try and lo and behold, there were two Ombre challenges posted this week on two different sites. ScrapFIT is hosting an Ombre challenge for their Step Class #5 and Sheila shows you a fun way to incorporate it into your layout. Club CK also has some Ombre inspiration on their Pinterest challenge this week, so I thought it would be great to do one layout for both of these challenges.
I used the Ombre in two ways on this page. I knew I wanted to use this technique somehow on my title treatment, but couldn't decided how to do it. I thought the easiest way would probably be to use my Desktop Publishing program. So I used the rectangle tool to draw 6 shapes across my page and then I varied the shades of blue for each box. I moved each of the boxes right below one another, to have a solid rectangle shape with no white spacing showing. Next, I opend WordArt and used the Arial Black font to type the word "raindrops". Then I selected a thicker line for the word, turned the line white, and cleared out the center of the letters so the ombre background would show through. I decided to print the word out on photo paper for a more glossy look and then just cut out each of the letters.
For the second treatment, I took some inspiration from the fabulously talented Amy Tan. She has an awesome video on her Blog where she uses the Studio Calico Chevron mask and some Mister Huey's spray mist, to whip up a totally adorable page. I didn't have the chevron mask on hand, but I have the cute circle mask (my friend and I bought one of the circles and one of the chevron, so we could swap them out when we get together for crops)! So, I used the circle mask on a white background and sprayed the upper part with Sun Kissed Smooch Spritz and the lower part with Carrot Cake Smooch Spritz. After my mist dried (which it does pretty quickly), I just cut it out into a rectangular shape and used it as a layer behind my photo.
Products Used: Cardstock: The Paper Studio; Patterned Paper: Bella Blvd.; Circle Mask: Studio Calico; Smooch Spritz: Clear Snap; Mini Alphabet Stickers: MLS; Thickers: American Crafts: Fonts: Arial Black & CK Emily; Washi Tape: Heidi Swapp; Baker's Twine: The Twinery; Button: Michael's; Rhinestones: Close to My Heart; Pen: Sharpie
The second trend that has popped up is SMASH Books. This trend has been out for a little longer, but I hate to admit that I've had my book sitting on my desk for about 6 months and I've just now started using it!! Smashing is a little difficult for me, because the randomness is something that I have trouble with. I am usually always in layout zone, where I have to have some kind of structure to my page with photos, title, and journaling. So, working on my SMASH book is somewhat out of my comfort zone. But, I FINALLY got a phone that works correctly and lets me download all the cool kid apps - which meant I was able to get Instagram!!! :) I thought this would be the perfect motivation to start working in my SMASH book. So far, I've only completed three pages, so here they are:
It will definitely be a work in progress, of letting go of my preconceived notions on having every page "perfect", but I think I'll get the hang of it as I go along. When these little baby's first came out, it was pretty hard to get your hands on one. But if you are thinking about getting into the SMASH craze, you can now pick up the books and accessories at Michael's and Hobby Lobby. The books usually run around $12.99 and most of the coordinating products are anywhere from $2-$4. There is a lot of fun stuff to go a long with the books, especially the teal washi tape and the black & white polka dot washi tape!
And just one last thing to share today: Frosted Designs will be hosting a Crafting Space Blog Hop starting Friday, June 15, at 6PM (CST). Come join in the fun and check out all of the Creative Spaces for the Frosted Designs Team Members. There will also be organizational tips and some giveaways hosted at the various Blogs. I hope you will stop by to check out my space and see where all of my crafty "magic" happens!! :)

Pink Paislee did a week of this technique about a month ago....and before that I hadn't heard of it (what can I say... I live in a cave! LOL!!!)... still haven't figured it out yet though... (cave, remember?? lol!!)ReplyDelete
I loveeeeeeeeeeeeeeee how you incorporated it though!! LOVING the colors and loving the title work!!! And loving your SMASH pages too!! Awesome work my dearest!!!
Great projects! Love the ombre look. I'm not much of a trend setter and need to see something several times in several different ways before I decide if it's for me. Just starting collecting washi tape this spring!ReplyDelete
love how you did the title on your page Ashley, that is such a cool look! the whole page is really fun, love the circle background...your smash book is great! I bought one of those last summer, it still sits on my sewing table, because like you I was thinking I didn't know what to do with it because it's not a clean slate, and I still don't!! lol, I was thinking of cutting it up and using the images as embellies for other pages, I am not really a mini book kind of scrapper...ReplyDelete
I love the Ombre look! I didn't know that it was called that! You always do such fabulous creations! I would have never guessed that you haven't done something like this before! Loving it all! And your smash book is coming along beautifully! I really love the pages you have completed!ReplyDelete

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is announcing a meeting for patients, caregivers, independent patient advocates and patient advocate groups, and health professional groups to explore ways to more effectively include patient input in regulatory decisionmaking on drug, device, and biological products. The meeting will serve as a forum for FDA's patient stakeholders and the general public, including health professionals, academia, and industry to learn about the regulatory process related to the medical product life cycle, analyze where in the process patient input may be most practical and most valuable, and explore practicable approaches to collecting and incorporating meaningful input that well represents broad patient perspectives into regulatory decisions.
DATES: Back to Top
Date and Time: The meeting will be held on May 18, 2012, from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Register at http://fda.contractmeetings.com/home on or before May 4, 2012. Please include the name and title of the person attending, the name of the organization, the role within the organization, email address, and telephone number.

I. FDA Patient Network Back to Top
This is the inaugural FDA Patient Network Annual Meeting hosted by the FDA Office of Special Health Issues, the Agency's liaison to the patient and health professional communities. This annual meeting is being hosted in conjunction with the launch of the overarching FDA Patient Network program. The FDA Patient Network is a new resource for patients, caregivers, independent patient advocates, and patient advocate groups that seek to:
- Educate and inform patient stakeholders about FDA, its regulatory authorities and processes, its initiatives and programs, etc.; and,
- Provide a venue for advocacy for patient stakeholders within FDA and be transparent to patients about Agency actions.
In addition to an annual meeting, the FDA Patient Network consists of other activities, including the:
- FDA Patient Network Web site—A new, patient-centered Web site that contains educational modules, centralized Agency information, and multidirectional communication tools;
- Biweekly FDA Patient Network News email newsletter; and hosting of periodic meetings, briefings, and listening session between patient advocates and FDA staff.
II. Patient Perspectives in Regulatory Decisionmaking Back to Top
Establishing a means for obtaining input from patients and patient advocate groups will allow FDA to further enhance its benefit-risk assessment in regulatory decisionmaking. Patients who live with a disease have a direct stake in the outcomes of the review process and are in a unique position to contribute to the weighing of benefit-risk considerations that can occur throughout the medical product development process. Though several programs exist that facilitate patient representation on Advisory Committees or participation in selected review meetings, there are currently few venues in which the patient perspective is discussed outside of a specific product's marketing application review. The medical product review process could benefit from a more scientific, systematic, and expansive approach to obtaining input from patients who are experiencing a particular disease condition.
As part of the proposed agreements for Prescription Drug User Fee Act (PDUFA) V, FDA plans to conduct meetings with patients and patient advocacy groups to gather broader patient input. This meeting kicks off these efforts and provides an opportunity to gain feedback on how FDA can best structure these upcoming meetings.
FDA seeks public discussion based on the following questions. These questions are intended to frame patient input at the May 18, 2012, meeting and there will be time at the meeting to discuss the following issues.
(1) How can FDA ensure gathering a broad range of representative patient input that is relevant to a specific disease area during its meetings with patients? For example, who should serve as representatives of patients?
(2) What methodological and practical issues should FDA consider as it develops its strategy for eliciting the patient perspective? For instance, FDA is interested in addressing topics including, but not limited to, the following:
(a) Are there particular advantages or disadvantages to utilizing face-to-face meetings versus web-based or other methods in obtaining the patient perspective on a particular disease condition and its treatment?
(b) How can FDA ensure that certain subpopulations, such as patients with the most severe form of the disease, are represented?
III. Center for Drug Evaluation and Research and Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research Efforts Back to Top
Center for Drug Evaluation and Research and Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research plan to conduct a series of patient-focused drug development meetings to gather patient input on the clinical context of a disease and its impact on a patient's daily life. These considerations, which would include an analysis of the severity of the disease condition and the current state of the available treatment options, can be critical in regulatory decisionmaking. FDA is interested in obtaining patient input on the context of specific disease areas through the patient-focused drug development meetings. The following questions are examples of topics for which FDA believes the patient perspective could add valuable insight. They are presented in this document for general discussion at the Patient Network Conference.
A. Understanding the Disease Condition
(1) What are the clinical manifestations of the disease that have the greatest impact on patients?
(2) Are there other aspects of the disease that have a significant impact on a patient's daily life? (e.g., impaired mobility, sleep problems, etc.)
(3) How do the clinical manifestations change with disease progression?
(4) How do the other aspects of the disease change with disease progression?
B. Assessment of Treatment Options
(1) How effective are approved therapies at treating the clinical manifestations of the disease?
(2) How well do approved therapies mitigate the other aspects of the disease?
(3) How does the effectiveness of approved therapies change with progression of the disease?
(4) Does therapy effectiveness vary by patient subpopulation?
FDA is continuing to make plans for its efforts and will be able to provide more detail on the patient-focused drug development meetings at the Patient Network Conference.
IV. Center for Devices and Radiologic Health Efforts
Center for Devices and Radiologic Health is interested in a public discussion on issues related to risk associated with medical products, and on avenues for patients to provide input into regulatory decisionmaking related to the amount of risk patients may be willing to accept in exchange for a potential treatment benefit. The following questions are presented in this document for general discussion at the Patient Network Conference.
(1) How do patients perceive and weigh risks associated with medical treatment in light of the risk associated with the underlying condition being treated and the potential benefit from the treatment?
(2) Under what circumstances and in which populations would various levels of risk be appropriate/acceptable?
(3) How can medical device companies, government, academia, community physicians and patients collaborate to account for the level of risk acceptable to patients affected by serious or life threatening illnesses?
(4) What mechanisms would be appropriate for patients to provide input into regulatory decisionmaking for new therapeutic and diagnostic products—e.g., web-based survey instruments? Patient representation at advisory committee meetings? Patient input to medical device companies during clinical trial design? Who (FDA, patient advocate groups, medical device companies, etc.) could sponsor such surveys?
(5) Are patients willing to accept responsibility for the level of risk to which they may be exposed if patient input increases risk tolerance?

Sunday, September 14, 2008. (AP) -- Southern California is now a no-doubt-about-it No. 1 in the AP Top 25, and there's a new No. 2 as Georgia slipped again.
The Trojans' resounding 35-3 victory against Ohio State on Saturday night made USC an overwhelming No. 1 in the media poll. USC received 61 first-place votes and 1,596 points on Sunday. The Trojans had 33 first-place votes last week.
Oklahoma moved past Georgia into No. 2. The Bulldogs barely got past South Carolina 14-7 on Saturday and the Sooners notched their third consecutive blowout victory, winning 55-14 at Washington.
Georgia is the first preseason No. 1 to drop that far after starting 3-0 since Oklahoma in 1985. The Sooners also fell to No. 3 after winning their first three games.
The Bulldogs received two first-place votes this week. Clemson moved back into the Top 25, coming in at #23.

Frisco ISD considers schooling FC Dallas players
Future FC Dallas players may also become Frisco ISD students, if a planned partnership with the nearby soccer team works out.
Two local players already attend several classes at Liberty High. The team hopes to recruit students from outlying areas and enroll them in similar flexibly scheduled programs.
FC Dallas has hired someone to oversee the students and their academic program, Assistant Superintendent of Program Evaluation and Assessment Mike Waldrip told the board at its Monday night meeting.
Most won't go directly into the world of major league soccer, but further their skills in college.
The board may consider a policy amendment that allows players to attend Frisco ISD while in this developmental program, said spokeswoman Shana Wortham.

For decades, Sir Moses Montefiore (1784-1885) has been a towering presence in the life of Anglo-Jewry, and for Jews (and non-Jews) in Europe and around the world. As president of the British Board of Deputies (1835-1874), he exerted a significant degree of control over the life of Jewish congregations in the United Kingdom.
His appointment as Sheriff of London and the bestowing of a knighthood by Queen Victoria (1837), and later a baronetcy, seemed to hold a promise for Jewish integration into the fabric of the British elite. Combining this success in the society at large with strict observance and a lifelong commitment to the Holy Land impressed Jews and non-Jews alike. His interventions on behalf of Jewish communities under duress and his longevity further added to his larger-than-life presence.
This seminar aims to investigate the ways in which Montefiore's example encouraged Jews of the most diverse identifications to rethink – but also to re-assert – their visions of community: strictly observant communities and associations in Poland-Lithuania, ardent reformers in the United States, freemasons, secular nationalists, rabbis and intellectuals, but also followers of the secular, early Jewish nationalist movement, many of whom expressed their admiration in letters and tributes to Sir Moses.
Over the past years, a collection of hundreds of such tributes has been digitized at UCL and subsequently transcribed by volunteering students of the UCL Department of Hebrew and Jewish Studies. This collection, owned by the Montefiore Endowment and on loan to UCL Special Collections, has been prepared for online presentation by UCL Library Services and will be easily accessible and fully searchable in the very near future.
The organisers wish to thank the Montefiore Endowment and the Department of Hebrew and Jewish Studies for making this event possible.

A little over a year ago, I wrote a review of Baldur's Gate, in anticipation of its upcoming rerelease. It was a sloppy piece on looking at the relationship between the main character and their father, Bhaal, god of death, murder, horror, and all that is wrong and unholy in the world. For me, what I found still engaging about the Baldur's Gate story line is how it played with the idea of the abjected subject position, i.e. subjects and identities that are integral to society, but nonetheless marginalized because of their "unseemly" aspects that make them uncomfortable to a normative world.
The abject is typically marked by bodily excess and waste, like vomit, shit or blood, because these wastes are necessary for our body's proper functioning, but they are also kept at a distance and we do not fully integrate them into our embodied conception of ourselves. Yeah, I'm a lot of fun to have conversations with. So in Baldur's Gate, your character becomes abject through their association with blood — not just the spilling of blood through battles, because the realm is replete with warriors doing illicit deeds — but with your own tainted blood, the blood of Bhaal.
So that article and my replay of Baldur's Gate — especially the sequel, Shadows of Amn — stayed in the back of my mind when I first started playing Borderlands 2 and Jack, spoiler, was revealed to be Angel's father. I kept thinking how sad and strained both father/offpsring relationships were, with the offspring character becoming ostracised and pushed to the boundaries in society because of what this relationship passed down to them: my character in Baldur's Gate was deemed illicit and morally corrupt because of her lineage, and Angel is revealed to be a traitor, who is ostensibly both working for and against us as we play. Then enters Eleanor in BioShock 2, another abandoned daughter, held captive (physically and emotionally) by a controlling parent figure, whose identity is formed in a resistance to and an acceptance of the horrors committed by the father.
A quick head's up. When I refer to Baldur's Gate and BioShock 2, I'm referring to my specific experiences with the story and how I chose to play to play the game. In Baldur's Gate, I was a chaotic neutral female and in BioShock 2, I played by harvesting enough Little Sisters to get me all the Adam I could use, then I went about adopting and rescuing them. (Monster status = horrifically confirmed.) In BioShock 2, I then chose to sacrifice myself at the end to allow Eleanor to be free: the horrors we committed together in Rapture were part of a war, and I wanted to show her that with Rapture being behind her, she could move on. I was trying to be a good role model, and I feel like the neutral ending I received was the perfect culmination of the story: Eleanor is going to have to live with the atrocities we did in order to survive, but I gave her the chance to be free from that when we escaped and to eventually, hopefully, move on. As BioShock games always teach me, I don't think I'm the "maternal" type.
What I find interesting about Parent-Daughter relationships in these games are the way they position the female character in society. In Borderlands 2 and BioShock 2, Eleanor and Angel are twisted examples of the damsel trope: they are held captive by a parent who is using them to fulfill their own ideology, but through their resistance, they also become abjected emblems of intersectionality, of a society that binds and rejects the very subjectivities, female or not, they use to construct themselves. They are pushed to the fringes of society, but not outcast because they are pivotal to a functioning society. For example, Sofia Lamb keeps Eleanor quarantined and hidden, despite her necessity as the embodiment of her extreme collectivist mentality. With Angel, Jack also hides her, keeps her contained and hidden, despite her power being the key to him achieving the domination he wants. They are emblematic of Others through their parental enforced abjected positions. We are all defined by our relationships. For the societies that Eleanor, Angel and your character in Baldur's Gate live in, the collective societal identity is formed through both an acceptance and a rejection of what these abjected subjects represent.
So what do I mean when I call these characters abject? They are visibly marked with signifers of the abject (the gross-out aspects of blood, gore and bodily viscera), and as non-normative identities, they are also necessary to a functioning society, but which society would rather not think of or associate with themselves. They represent the shunned, the cast off, everything and everyone who works against the "clean" norm. They are dirtied, they are hazardous, but they are strong and symbolically threatening to destabilize safe normative conceptions of identity and society. As powerful females, they destabilize tropes of femininity. As abject subjects, they threaten the exclusionary normative ideal of their societies.
In the case of Angel, she is not marked by the typical gross-out aspects of human waste, but she is marked by Eridium. Same with the Little Sisters and Eleanor: they do not bleed or vomit, but they do remove valuable chemical compounds from corpses (with corpses being another abject signifier). Eridum and Adam take on the narrative consequences of bodily excess and refuge: they are synthetic compounds that once ingested, become integrated into the body, enhancing it but also creating a powerful addiction that marks and changes the body. Moreover, anybody enmeshed with Eridium or Adam become marginalized in society. Splicers and Sirens are looked at as non-normative subject positions, people to be wary of because the effects of their power sources are unparalleled and lead to devastating effects (Splicers lose their minds and become homicidal, whereas Angel and Eleanor are being harnessed to bring about untold power and destruction for the bad guys).
The fact that they are also Guardian Angel characters, guiding your character's movements from afar, suggests a form of copendency: normative identities are based off an exclusionary definition: we are what we are not. But to be defined thusly, we need to define the "are not." It is this othering and abjection of marked bodies that draws me to characters like Angel and Eleanor. They are women and are marked in that way, but they are also other marked bodies, signifiers of difference from "healthy" (where healthy itself is an exclusionary semantic ideal), normative bodies. We are not Angel and Eleanor at the same time that we are Angel and Eleanor. And it is the way that we treat and represent these abjected subjects that ultimately define our society.
I think for me this is particularly telling with the Handsome Jack and Angel dynamic. Jack's conception of his rule involves Angel's very essence, but in a way that drains, harnesses and controls it. She cannot exist just as herself: her powers, what makes her her, are being manipulated and used for a goal that is exempt from her. Same with the character in Baldur's Gate: you must use your strength, given by Bhaal and feared by your society, to stop Bhaal and save the world that excludes you. These abjected subjects cannot exist for themselves, because they are not granted that luxury of being self-contained subjects: they are excluded, but used. These characters are pivotal to overcoming the evil, but excluded because of it: not a part of society, but integral to its continued proper functioning.
It is the societal collective that is fucked here, not in an anti-socialist way, but in a way that demonstrates that there cannot be a cohesive societal identity because it is defined by exclusionary practices. With Sofia Lamb, it is not an acceptance of the individual within the collective, but an erasing of the entire idea of the individual to achieve a tyrannical power. What we learn from abjected subjectivities and intersectionality is that identity is comprised of different aspects, and most society-forming practices exclude based on these aspects. We struggle against what we are because what we are more than likely excludes us from this clean conception of self. And this is true for most of us, in one way or another.
Talking about the abject matters in games because we already are, just maybe not in the same words. So many fantastic critics are already looking at intersectionality as a way of understanding relationships within power structures (like Samanatha Allen's piece on teaching intersectionality using Halo). Examining our representations of different subjectivities, particularly those that have been deemed as non-normative, is crucial for us to grow into a more inclusive community.

Like lots of people, when Oct. 31 rolls around, Trey Capnerhurst dons a pointy hat and doles out candy to children who darken the door of her cottage in Alberta.
But she's not celebrating Halloween. In fact, she kind of hates it.
Capnerhurst says she's a real, flesh-and-blood witch, and the Halloween stereotypes of witches as broom-riding hags drive her, to put it mildly, batty.
"Witches are not fictional creatures," the 45-year-old wrote in a recent article on WitchVox.com.
"We are not werewolves or Frankenstein monsters. We do not have green skin, and only some of us have warts."
Warts or not, many witches say they have mixed feelings about Halloween.
Some look forward to the day when witchcraft is front and center and no one looks askance at big black hats. Others complain that the holiday reinforces negative stereotypes of witches as evil outliers who boil children in black cauldrons.
Capnerhurst falls into the latter camp.
Hanging up witch decorations at Halloween is no better than wearing blackface costumes or taking a slur, like "Redskins," as the name of your football team, she says.
"Unless one actually is a witch, dressing up as stereotypical witches is bigotry," Capnerhurst said.
In June, the wife and mother of two started her own church for "traditional" witches called Disir, an old Norse word meaning "matron deities," she says.
(Capnerhurst draws a distinction between "traditional" witches, like her, who were born into the religion, and Wiccans, most of whom are converts.)
Most Wiccans identify as witches, and they form the largest branch of the burgeoning neo-pagan movement, said Helen A. Berger, a leading scholar of neo-paganism at Brandeis University.
A 2008 survey counted about 342,000 Wiccans in the United States and nearly as many who identify simply as "pagans," a significant increase from the last American Religious Identification Survey, taken in 2001.
Three-quarters of American Wiccans are women, according to Berger.
"It's harder to train male Wiccans," Capnerhurst said with a cheery sigh. "Most men just aren't going to sweep the kitchen and think about sweeping out the bad energy."
The faith is fiercely individualistic. Although there are umbrella groups like Wisconsin-based Circle Sanctuary, most Wiccans practice their own blends of witchcraft.
After centuries of persecution in Europe and colonial America, modern witches still bear a sharp suspicion of authority. The rede, or ethical statement at the core of Wicca, is: Harm none and do as you will.
Despite the rising popularity of their faith, many Wiccans remain "in the broom closet," fearful of losing their jobs, their families or their reputations, said Berger and other experts.
Trey Capnerhurst in her traditional witch garb.
Capnerhurst said she was "outed" in 2005 while running as the Green Party's candidate for local office. A reporter noted the pentacle -- a five-pointed star often mistaken as a satanic symbol -- hanging around her neck.
"I kind of became the poster girl for paganism," Capnerhurst said.
But the notoriety came at a cost.
Neighbors have threatened to burn down the house she shares with her family, Capnerhurst says. She's lost jobs. And people keep asking her whether the "Blair Witch Project," the 1999 horror movie, is real.
"I'm like, What the frick! No!"

Weather is holding up construction a bit, but the new Zaxby's restaurant should open in the next couple of months on Oak Ridge Turnpike.
The restaurant owners Chris Andrews and Brandon Barrett formed a limited liability corporation they aptly named Nuclear Chicken LLC to operate the local restaurant.
"We wanted an Oak Ridge theme,"Andrews told The Oak Ridger Thursday. "We also have a sauce named Nuclear."
He said Barrett's grandfather also worked in Oak Ridge during the Manhattan Project.
The new Zaxby's will seat about 70 people and will feature a drive-thru. Andrews said the company is in the process of hiring employeees and hopes to hire about 40 to 50 people in the Oak Ridge community.
"We're excited about it," he said.
Zaxby's is known for its "signature" dishes like chicken finger and wings, but Andrews said "salads have become real popular."
Zaxby's is based in Athen, Ga., where Barrett will continue to work. Andrews said he will operate the local restaurant, but plans to hire a manager and assistant manager for day-to-day operations.

Your life in good hands
By Nigel Bartlett

Thanks to the work of Associate Professor Kate Curtis, trauma patients in hospitals across Australia are assured of the highest levels of care.
Kate Curtis still remembers the huge buzz she felt during her nursing training in a hospital emergency department. "I liked the adrenalin rush, as well as being able to provide good care to people who were under duress," she recalls.
It was this that led Curtis, now an Associate Professor at the University's Sydney Nursing School, to become a researcher whose PhD study has brought about widespread changes in Australian hospitals. It has also seen her being honoured with a highly significant prize – one that recognises work leading to the greatest improvements in the care of severely injured patients over the past 10 years.
Curtis (GradDip CritCare '97) was presented with the 2011 Frank McDermott Award, named after the man whose own research led to (among other things) the introduction of the zero blood-alcohol limit for learner and probationary drivers. Curtis's study is just as far-reaching, even though (fortunately) fewer people are likely to know about it. She found that the simple measure of introducing a single case manager for each trauma patient in hospital would dramatically improve the care they received and their recovery.
The 14-month study, carried out at Sydney's St George Hospital and published in 2006, looked at the effects of assigning a specialist nurse to oversee all trauma cases, rather than the patient being seen by numerous people according to his or her injuries. Before the study, Liverpool Hospital was the only one in Australia to appoint a trauma case manager. St George became the second, enabling Curtis to compare the situation before and after, looking at 1300 patients. The study proved so successful that its findings were adopted into NSW Health policy, and case managers have since been appointed at virtually every Australian hospital offering major trauma services.
Encouraging results
"We found that having a trauma case manager in place saved more than 815 bed days over the 14-month period, and reduced the number of complications patients suffered, such as clots in the legs and pneumonia," Curtis explains. In addition, there were fewer unplanned admissions to the intensive care unit or an operating suite, and pathology tests were reduced by more than 6600.
Curtis describes receiving her award as a great honour. "It's nice to know that the work you've done has meant something to other people and made a difference," she says.
She is now finalising a three-year post-doctoral study looking at the cost of trauma care in New South Wales hospitals. It has been jointly funded by a fellowship from the University of Sydney and Sydney Nursing School, with 10 hospitals taking part. One of its findings is that trauma-centre hospitals in New South Wales are likely to be losing out on up to $14 million a year in Government funding. Curtis is now examining how well the State's trauma system works. "I'm looking at whether it makes a difference which hospital a child involved in a car crash is taken to, for example, and whether that affects the chances of survival," she says.
It is all meaty stuff, with an emotional element that fuels Curtis's urge to uncover all of this evidence. "That's one of the things that drives me to do the research," she says. "I want the way we look after patients to be the best it can be, and I want it to be evidence-based. I want to make sure that if you're involved in a traumatic incident, we're giving you the best opportunities you can have."

|Placed Date
|Mar 18 2012
|21145 Fifteen Mile Road, Bellevue, MI
|Found By
|Last Found
|Apr 14 2013
|Hike Distance
Bernard W. Baker Sanctuary
Audubon Society Meadow & Marsh
21145 Fifteen Mile Road
Bellevue, MI, 49021
Located on 15 Miles Road between T Drive N and Q Drive N in Bellevue, MI
At the Trail Head Parking Lot marked with the sign by the road that reads: Audubon Society Meadow & Marsh Baker Sanctuary, park in the little parking area located there.
About 1-1.5 miles
Be sure to bring a compass and we stongly recommend binoculars and a camera. :)
Step = a regular step: right (1), left (2), right (3)...
Start at the "Enter" sign located by the information board. Hike past the wrangly brush on the left and the bat house located in the field to the right. Continue and go around the corner to the right; follow the trail as it twists through the trees ahead. Descend down the path until the path comes to a T. Turn 2 Bluebird Loop. From the sign continue 34 steps down the path; find where X marks the spot (don't touch the X!) Standing in front of the X face 20 degrees N. You will find the first stamp in this series under the tree with a bended knee.
To find the second stamp in this series: Continue on the path; pass 2 houses on the left, 3 on the right and around the corner pass the 4 fingers growing out of a trunk. Go down the path but do not "Walkinshaw"! instead "Walk the other way!!!" Continue on the path and when given the option, go left, then follow the trail up to the lonely old woman who lives on the hill. You will find that she guards this letterbox very well.
To find the third and final stamp in this series: Be sure to thank the old lady for guarding the letterbox so well then head "East" on the trail. When given the option go left then follow the trail upwards, No fear a resting place is near! This is a great time to break out those binoculars and enjoy the view or listen carefully to see how many different bird you can hear. Continue on your quest to the next place you could take a rest. Don't sit this time, you will need to stay the course. Pause only to reconize that you have sucessfully found this clue and to begin to count your steps. When you reach 50 turn to the right. Looking down the hill into the woods you will see a baby standing all alone; walk carefully down to greet this little one. Take careful notice that there is a fence line that stretches out behind him. Looking down the fence line you will see a mother and her child snuggled close to one another living in the fence. Together they guard the 3rd and final letterbox in this series.
Bonus: In this letter box you will also find a bonus clue. This would be a good time to break out your camera...
Thank you for participating in this Letterboxing adventure with us! This is a great way to make priceless memories and we thank you for sharing your stamp. Please be sure to take great care to hide the letterboxes back in the same location that you found them.
You can go back the way that you came or continue up the path and it will wind you back as well.
Happy Trails!

All of your stories remind me that my mother (my own mother for Pete's sake) has lost my son (her ONLY grandson) at Disney World TWICE! Both times she forgot that he was supposed to be with her. They had both gone off together alone to go look at something and both times my mom returned without him. Uh, hello, Mother! You went to go see something *with* him. How can you forget he was with you. Once he was just 2 years old and still non-verbal (he's autistic). He also had waist length blonde curls. So the Cast Members trying to help us were looking for a boy and kept by-passing a little girl (which also totally baffled me that they weren't paying attention to a child wandering all alone!) Took about 20 minutes to find him. The second time she lost him in one of the shops. He was 4 at the time and still not very verbal. But he did what we told him to do if he ever got lost and that was just to stay where he was. As you can imagine we don't go to Disney with my parents anymore.

Sharing FTE Caps: Threshold requirements for entering into Medicare GME affiliation agreements
Teaching hospitals' full-time equivalent (FTE) resident caps dictate the maximum number or residents for which the hospital is eligible to receive graduate medical education (GME) reimbursement from the Medicare program. Once FTE caps have been established, they are, for the most part, permanent. However, under limited circumstances, certain hospitals may be able to share their caps with their neighbor, partner, or sibling hospitals.

Definitions (2)
1.Law: Inducement, reason, or willful desire (purpose) behind the commission of an offense. Whether good (such as helping a patient suffering from unbearable chronic pain to commit suicide) or bad (such as to commit murder) it is normally not a deciding factor in determination of guilt or innocence (but 'intent' is). However, it may be relevant in a libel case, or may be invoked by a defending attorney in mitigation of punishment or by a prosecuting attorney as circumstantial evidence to prove guilt.

In late August, 2013 Lake Ontario, situated on the boundary of Canada and the United States, wore a palette of milky blue-green swirls when seen from space, the result of a heavy late summer phytoplankton bloom. The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) aboard NASA�s Aqua satellite captured this true-color image on August 24 as it passed over the region.
When conditions are right microscopic cyanobacteria, or blue-green algae, will grow explosively, resulting in dramatic blooms that can be seen from space. Harmful algal blooms or HABs, have been observed in all of the Great Lakes, and are caused by a variety of factors, including change in precipitation, drought, nutrient loading from runoff (nitrogen and phosphorus) and warmer than average temperatures.
Some blue-green algae produce toxins � the most common which is microcystin - that could pose a health risk to people and animals when exposed to them in high quantities. The toxins can cause various problems when swallowed, when they come in contact with skin, or when airborne droplets containing toxins are inhaled. The toxins can cause a rash, stomach pain, nausea, diarrhea, runny eyes, cough, sore throat, asthma-like symptoms and allergic reactions, depending on the route of exposure. Large algal blooms can also cause hypoxia in the lake � a condition of very low oxygen content � which can lead to large fish kills.
On August 23, six stations on Soudus Bay of Lake Ontario performed weekly water sampling, and these samples were analyzed for blue-green algal toxins. All stations reported toxin levels at < 0.2 micrograms per liter � a level of minimal toxicity.
