Remembering Dr. Maurice Acree: Friend and Benefactor of UT College of Veterinary Medicine
(Knoxville, TN. March 13, 2013) -- The University of Tennessee College of Veterinary Medicine is saddened to announce the death of friend and supporter Dr. Maurice Acree, Jr.
Acree passed away Friday, March 8, in Knoxville, Tennessee. A memorial service will be held Thursday, March 14 at 10:30 a.m. at the Church of the Ascension, 800 Northshore Drive, Knoxville. He leaves behind wife, Reverend Nancy Acree. He will be remembered, also, at the fourth annual K-9 Veterans Day ceremony on Saturday, March 16 at 1:00 p.m. held at the war dog memorial in front of the UT Veterinary Medical Center on the UT agricultural campus.
Acree's relationship with the UT College of Veterinary Medicine began in 1997 when he brought his beloved Doberman Pinscher, Duchess of Tennessee, to the UT Veterinary Medical Center for surgery to remove a tumor on her foot. The following year, Acree donated a war dog memorial, "Always Faithful," honoring the 25 dogs that died liberating Guam in 1944. The memorial, located in front of the UT Veterinary Medical Center, honors Acree's love of Doberman Pinschers and recognizes the unique bond between dogs and humans. The memorial is a replica of the statue on the Island of Guam. At the time, Acree said, "When you get me on the subject of the veterinary school, the Doberman and animals, you've reached a spot thats close to my heart."
In 1997, he established the college's Acree Family Endowed Chair in Small Animal Research. At the time of his gift, Acree said, "I established this chair to make a difference. The deciding factors in my decision were the kindness and affection of the veterinary college staff, its outstanding faculty and the great facilities there." Dr. Joe Bartges, DACVIM, DACVN, has held the endowed chair since its inception. Bartges says Acree was an amazing person with passion and vision for improving knowledge and care of pets. According to Bartges, "His commitment to the UT College of Veterinary Medicine through funding of the endowed chair has resulted in new knowledge that has improved the lives of many pets."
Acree, a native of Macon, Ga., moved to Memphis in 1943. He graduated from the Baylor School in Chattanooga and received a bachelors degree in liberal arts from Vanderbilt. Acree pursued his medical degree as a second career later in life. His first career was a Navy fighter pilot, where he served in Korea. After several years in the Navy, he earned his medical degree from the UT Medical School in Memphis and continued specialized training in pathology. He retired as a pathologist in Nashville.
Memorial tributes may be made to the UT College of Veterinary Medicine for the Small Animal Research Fund and sent to the UTCVM Advancement Office, 2407 River Drive, Knoxville, TN 37996-4550 or by calling 865-974-4379.

For the first time in nearly a quarter of a century, the University of West Alabama has a new men's basketball coach.
Former Alabama-Birmingham assistant Eddie McCarter has been named the new Tigers coach. He replaces Rick Reedy, who retired after 23 years in Livingston.

He also was an outstanding prep coach in his home state of Alabama.
McCarter is a 1975 graduate of UAB.

I was injured in an automobile accident on 5/28/10. The woman who hit us was talking on her cell phone and pulled right in front of us.
Liability is not the issue as her insurance has claimed responsibility for the accident. My problem is that the Ohio public has no idea how insurance friendly the state of Ohio really is. It has been almost two years, and when we go to court the jurors are not allowed by Ohio law to find out the true expenses occurred by the plaintiff. If there was retribution filed against the claim due to long term disability or the health insurance claims it is not allowable in Ohio court systems. So basically, the jurors only get to hear what the state and the insurance companies want them to hear. Think about this the next time you are on a jury and the insurance companies are trying to play someone's injuries down. The public has a right to know all the facts without big business having all the rights. This can be verified by any attorney in the Mid-Ohio Valley. I will not work again due to the accident, but we all need to protect ourselves from big business and big government, just in case.

A roundup of some unusual studies making news. As always, a mention here doesn't mean an endorsement.
Tablet vs. the book: which one prevails when it comes to reading speed?
Finally, a win for the good old fashioned book. New research finds that reading speed decreases when using a tablet, such as a Kindle or Nook. The study was small, consisting of only 24 participants who enjoy and frequently read books. Each subject read from four platforms, including the Kindle, iPad, PC monitor, and a regular paper book. The subjects were tested for both reading speed and story comprehension.
The study, conducted by the Nielson Norman Group, found that when using a Kindle, participants read 10.7 percent slower than when reading off printed pages. Reading speed was 6.2 percent slower when reading from an iPad. However, despite the slower reading speeds, the results also indicated that participants preferred an e-reader to the printed book. Story comprehension remained almost the same among all platforms.
If you're planning to buy a car in the near future, you may want to read this first. A new study out of Harvard, Yale and MIT, finds that the sense of touch can influence attitudes and behavior, even if the object is completely unrelated to the task.
For example, in one out of a series of experiments, 86 participants took part in a mock car sale – some sitting in hard, wooden chairs and others in cushioned chairs. Those that sat in a wooden chair were less likely to compromise on price. John Bargh, lead study author and Yale psychology professor, explains "Experiences with the physical world, such as hardness, heaviness or smoothness, activate the physical meaning of those concepts, but it also activates the abstract meanings of those concepts — hard may mean difficult, heavy may mean serious."
A new survey finds that "cyberbullying" is dangerous for the bully and the victim. The study finds bullying over the Internet or cell phones is associated with both physical and psychological consequences. The cross-sectional survey consisted of approximately 2,200 teenagers in two Finnish communities. The results showed that about 7 percent engaged in online bullying of others, 5 percent identified themselves as victims of bullying behavior, and 5.4 percent said they had bullied others and were victimized themselves.
Medpage Today reports that among the consequences, cyber victims had above average rates of self-perceived difficulties in life and one in four reported feeling unsafe. Physical effects included headaches, abdominal pains and difficulty sleeping. Cyberbullies reported emotional distress and behavioral problems such as difficulty concentrating and hyperactivity, as well as substance abuse. The study warns that teens who are a cyberbully and cybervictim may be effected the most.

Tuesday, May 10, 2011 | While the drama of the Orange County Fairgrounds sale arrives at a Santa Ana courtroom on Friday, Sacramento leaders will have a unique chance earlier in the week to vote on the future of the iconic property.
They could even send judges and the governor a critically timed message by potentially endorsing a revenue sharing plan instead of a sale.
At a state legislative appropriations hearing on Wednesday, two key foes -- activists with the OC Fairgrounds Preservation Society and the Orange County Fair Board -- will find themselves on the same side: opposing the sale.
State Assemblyman Jose Solorio said his bill, AB35, simply calls on the governor to begin exploring revenue sharing on the fairgrounds instead of a sale.
Solorio said in addition to pushing the revenue-sharing ideal, his legislation "has created an ongoing forum in the legislature for us to inform members from other areas with the current fairgrounds sale."
"These are real votes from the legislature on the subject matter itself, that's a powerful thing," Solorio said.
Meanwhile, Facilities Management West -- the company attempting to finalize the $100 million purchase deal negotiated at the eleventh hour of the Schwarzenegger administration -- is calling on legislators to stay on the sidelines.
"Anyone thinking of doing business with the state should take pause by the effort underway, almost two years into a complicated and costly process, to cancel this sale in the eleventh hour," said FMW spokesman Guy Lemmon.
Lemmon took critical aim at both Senator Correa and Assemblyman saying legislation and petitions are ill timed.
"To cancel the sale -- on the eve of a significant appellate court hearing, and with no credible option -- would be a breach of faith and trust, and leave the state, and Orange County's local governments and schools without the significant and ongoing
revenue that this sale to FMW would achieve," Lemmon said.
Even though FMW has severely criticized a revenue-sharing proposal (AB35 ) proposed by Solorio, opponents of the sale say it's giving them a legislative channel for their efforts to educate state leaders on the downsides of a sale.
"It is the most convenient vehicle legislatively to continue moving through our effort to stop the sale," said Theresa Sears, a founding activist with the fairgrounds preservation society.
And even though Sears notes that her group has rarely agreed with the governor's fair board in Orange County, she said they are supporting the revenue sharing plan because of it's importance to the state's fairgrounds.
There is talk among Brown administration officials to end public subsidies for fairgrounds. Even though large metro area fairgrounds, like in Orange County, are self-sufficient, smaller fairs across the state still need a subsidy.
Revenue sharing could be a way to keep public ownership but ease the burden on taxpayers, Sears said.
"There needs to be a plan to save the fairs," Sears said. "It's a policy issue that has to be decided by the governor."
Officials with Orange County's 32nd District Agricultural Association (which runs the OC Fair) have proposed a series of revenue sharing deals to the state in recent years.
That group was one of the first to raise the issue of a privatization (to a nonprofit) back in 2009. Widespread public opposition along with investigative inquiries caused the fair board to abandon the plan.
That plan eventually morphed into a full-fledged sale, which then triggered an odd public auctioning process that FMW eventually won.

tpECOmat Plus
I borrowed this mat from my boyfriend because I didn't want to use the ones rented by the studio, which feel rough insubstantial. What a pleasant surprise! I had never heard of this company, but this mat was comfortable, had good traction and some nice give to it. My boyfriend has had this mat for a few years and it still looks great. High quality and very durable. I couldn't wait to get my own!
--AJ- North End Yoga- Boston, MA
Elite Hot Hybrid
My Elite Hot Hybrid mat is the most amazing product! I am quite a sweaty yogi and this mat is the only reason I am able to obtain the correct alignment in poses like downward dog. It works wonderfully on its own or stacked on top of another mat for extra cushion.
Elite Hybrid
I love my Elite mat. I would never go back to the old mat & towel combination. The Elite, created by Kulae, is so much easier to transport, use, and clean. I have two of them, which I use in my daily practice. I rotate them and wash in the washing machine once a week.

With the Anchorage School District trying to figure out which teachers to keep as part of its budget reductions, some of those educators say they are already being told that they are on the displacement list.
It's an equation that's getting tougher to solve every year: coming up with the magic number of teachers that will remain teaching in their current schools.
But with the Anchorage School District looking to slash 219 staff positions from its budget, principals have already started to determine which staff they need the most.
"A lot of teachers were finding out at the end of last week, " said Anchorage Education Association president Andy Holleman.
Heidi Embley, ASD's executive director of communications, says selections for the displacement list focus on eliminating redundancies.
"If a staff member who works in a building (is) in a particular specialty and there's no longer a need for that specialty in the building, then they will be displaced," Embley said.
According to AEA, being displaced is not final.
"It doesn't mean that they are losing their job at this point," Holleman said. "It does mean that the odds are very high they are not going to be in the same position they are in within the same building."
After being notified about displacement, teachers then go into a displacement pool. In April, principals will select from that group to fill any open spots they have in their schools.
Despite the potential layoffs, the district says it has to hire for some specific jobs, but not everyone will be qualified.
"It can get a little tricky and it is very complicated," Embley said. "Not every educator can teach every subject or every special needs requirement."
What will happen to the rest of the displaced staff depends on several factors. ASD says it loses 8 to 10 percent of teaching staff every year to normal attrition.
"There will not be 200 layoff notices -- a number of positions have been vacated or will be by the end of the year, due to people retiring or notifying us that they will be leaving the district," Embley said.
AEA says even if state lawmakers increase their formula for base student allocation -- a highly controversial topic in Juneau this year -- it would be hard to get displaced teachers back. Administrators already have to lay out their schedules and teacher assignments for the next school year.
The district says while the displacement process has begun for teachers, actual layoff notices won't come out until May.

Bright red blood decorated the broken window at the Smoker Friendly early Wednesday morning. Employees say someone broke the drive through window and crawled into the store, cutting themselves and leaving a large trail of blood behind.
Darlene Massey describes what she saw on video surveillance. "He reaches through, puts his hand next to the register." Massey says the thief didn't get much, "Three half cartons of Marlborough Reds."
However he did leave quite a bit behind. While crawling through the window the man cut himself on the broken glass bleeding all over the counter. "About that big of round there, it had ran down the side here on to the shelf here. The window casing was completely covered," Says, Massey.
He also left bloody footprints around the store. Something employees had to clean up this morning. And the cost for the stolen cigarettes? Massey says its, "about $71.25."
In the eight years that Massey has been working for Smoker Friendly there have been four burglaries. She says, "It makes you a little uncomfortable." Especially when she walks from her car to the store in the early morning hours; but she says it's something you get used to.
Massey thinks with the amount of evidence police have in this case they will catch the thief. They also have the video surveillance. "And they have a good picture of his face," says Massey.
Smoker friendly turned over the surveillance video to the Grand Junction Police Department. If you have any information in this case you can call crime stoppers that number is 241–stop.

These penalties relate to persons over 21 years of age, who were not operating a commercial vehicle. For additional information, please complete a Free Consultation Form.
DUI First Offense: Where a chemical test was performed, and the results show a BAC of .08 or more, the DMV will suspend the drivers license for four months.
Where a chemical test is refused, the DMV will suspend for one year. In a first time D.U.I. case where a chemical test is taken, a restricted license may be obtained. Please consult an attorney for details on obtaining a restricted license.
Second Offense (within
10 years of prior offense): Where the chemical test is performed, and results are .08 or greater, DMV will suspend for one year. Where chemical test is refused, two-year revocation.
Third Offense (within
10 years of prior offenses): With chemical test resulting in .08 or greater, two-year revocation; with refusal, three-year revocation.
Fourth Offense (within
10 years of prior offenses): The punishment is the same, whether a chemical test is taken or not. In either case, there is a four-year revocation of driving privileges.
Take note: these license suspensions/revocations are separate and apart from any action taken by the court; these are only the California DMVs punishment. Curiously, the courts have no problem imposing double punishment in the field of DUI law; that is, both the court and the DMV are taking the persons drivers license in separate processes related to the same event.
In any other area of the law, this would be considered double jeopardy. With DUIs the court considers the courts suspension to be punishment, but the DMVs suspension to merely be an administrative sanction. Tell that to the person who just suffered an administrative sanction. As far as they are concerned, it is a punishment. For more information about court-imposed punishment, see the criminal punishment section.
Also, be aware that any suspension or revocation imposed by the court does not usually start to run until after the DMV suspension is over with. That means that these suspensions run consecutively, not concurrently.
If you have any questions about the DMV suspensions, or any other aspect of DUI defense, please contact a lawyer in your area that is experienced in defending DUI cases. You are welcome to call Darren, a Southern California DUI lawyer, at any time for more information about DMV penalties.

Good things come to those who wait. Just ask Arkansas native Buddy Jewell, who spent 10 frustrating years knocking on Nashville doors in hopes of landing a record deal. The singer/songwriter had been turned down so many times that he had considered throwing in the towel altogether.
But Buddy's life changed in an instant when millions of Americans voted him the winner of USA Network's series Nashville Star. His prize was a recording contract with Sony Nashville, and a CD produced by superstar Clint Black.
"It was darn near the last-ditch effort for me," recalls Buddy of his audition for the show last year. "I thought, 'Well, I've tried everything else -- maybe I can win a record deal, if I can't get 'em to give me one.' I felt like if enough people knew about me and heard my music, maybe somebody would feel like they couldn't ignore me anymore."
No one's ignoring Buddy now. Since winning the heated competition, Buddy's life has gone from zero to 60. He's been bombarded with countless interviews for radio stations across the country, released his debut single, the touching "Help Pour Out the Rain (Lacey's Song)," and has begun to search for songs to include on his album, slated for release in July.
"I've had about eight hours sleep in the past three days," says a weary Buddy with a grin. "I'm like Pecos Bill -- I have lassoed the whirlwind! But hey, it's a fun ride."
Buddy will never forget the moment Nashville Star host Nancy O'Dell read his name as the winner. "It was like I was watching somebody else go through it," he says. "When Nancy opened the envelope, I was looking out in the audience for my wife, Tene. I thought, 'You know what? Live or die, I want to see her and it'll help me get through this moment one way or the other.'
"Then she read my name, the confetti went off, and it's a good thing it did -- it helped to cover the shock I was in. There was this rush of emotions -- the happiness of it happening, feeling vindicated after so many years of trying to break into this business." He laughs. "Now somebody's gotta give me a record deal, whether they like it or not!"
As he stood on the stage waiting for the winner's name to be announced, in front of an anxious Nashville crowd and a TV audience of millions, Buddy put his hand on the shoulder of the other remaining contestant, John Arthur Martinez, as a gesture of camaraderie -- and solidarity.
"How are you feeling?" asked Nancy.
"John Arthur and I are great friends -- great Christian friends -- and we're doing wonderfully," responded Buddy.
Buddy says the final outcome of the eight-week competition unfolded like a scene from a movie.
"I thought, man, if this were a movie, I couldn't have scripted it any better," says Buddy. "The two old guys were the last ones standing -- and we were there because America put us there."
Indeed, the "old guys" (42-year-old Buddy and John Arthur, close behind at 41) outlasted 10 younger finalists, several of them close to half their age. One by one, the younger competitors were voted off.
For the many years that Buddy hoped to score his big break, he made ends meet by singing demo recordings for other songwriters. Now he's already been pitched demos -- with him singing them -- from the very same writers who had originally hired him! The writers are hoping he'll cut their songs on his album.
"I'm hearing lots of me!" he smiles. "There are writers who have used me year in and year out and helped feed my family, so I want to look at their songs first. I want to be a blessing to them, because they've been a blessing to me."

This philosophy is still evident in Kennedy's approach six years later. With his hands-on involvement in the Northern Ireland peace process and his love of his ancestral home, Kennedy is a true friend to Ireland.
"He is a chieftain, which is what the old Irish word Taoiseach actually means" says Niall O'Dowd, publisher of Irish America, in explaining the choice of Kennedy as Irish American of the Year. "He has led the cause of Ireland on Capitol Hill for over a generation now and has often received little recognition in return. I am convinced that when the history of this era is written, however, that he will loom largest of all. He deserves the gratitude and respect of every Irish American for what he has done.

A Medford police SWAT team is searching a home on Shelterwood Circle after receiving information that a man suspected in a weekend shooting is inside.
Medford Police Chief Tim George said two people from the house have been arrested and one of them could be a suspect in a shooting Saturday in the parking lot of Los Arcos, a Mexican restaurant on Sage Road.
Officers blocked off the area surrounding the house, and nearby Howard Elementary was placed on precautionary lockdown while a SWAT team served a search warrant at the residence.
The students have since been released from school for the day.
"We will be speaking with these two individuals about this Los Arcos shooting over the weekend," George said.
Investigators said the victim was involved in an argument with a man he knew by first name only and that man shot him with a handgun before fleeing the scene in a vehicle. Police said the two weren't customers or employees of the restaurant.
The victim was treated for a gunshot wound to the leg and released from the hospital.

More than £2,000 has been raised for the family of Jamie McMahon by a group of his friends who are being sponsored to get a tattoo of the word 'Thumb' on their toes.
Mr McMahon, aged 26, from Abbey Road, Northampton was found dead by a member of the public at around 7.45am on Wednesday, October 2, in St Giles Churchyard. Two men have been charged with his murder.
As a way of remembering his best friend, Chris Scullion has set up The Thumb Fund which involves people getting the word 'Thumb' tattooed on a big toe.
Mr Scullion said: "Jay lived with Danny Desmond, who was a tattoo artist. After a few too many beers, Jay decided to get a tattoo of the word "Thumb" on a toe.
"As a tribute to Jay, his closest friends will be recorded getting the same "Thumb" tattoo on their toes.
"The toe is notoriously painful to get tattooed, but it is nothing compared to the pain we have gone through since he died.
"The support has been unbelievable. I think Jamie would think we are all idiots, but that is why he was friends with us," he added.
The total amount raised via the website, Go Get Funding, is currently £2,097 and more than 20 of Jamie's friends will be getting the Thumb tattoo done this Saturday.
To donate to The Thumb Fund go to www.gogetfunding.com/project/jamie- mcmahon-thumb-fund#/project_details
Mr McMahon's funeral was due to take place at The Counties Crematorium in Milton Malsor today, Thursday, at 2pm. Hundreds of people were expected to pay their respects to Mr McMahon, who was described as a "caring young man who would do anything for anyone".
In a statement issued through Northamptonshire Police, his family said: "He was the most lovable, caring young man, with a tremendous sense of humour and a contagious smile. We are so proud that he was part of our family."

HSBC To Cut Headcount By 10% In Cost-Control
HSBC Holdings PLC is taking to the ax in a big way to control costs.
In its first-half results announced Monday, the bank said that job cuts, numbering 5,000 so far this year, will not stop there, with 30,000 jobs to be gone by 2013. That's about 10% of its headcount, which as of the end of 2010 was 295,061. HSBC said the job cuts would be in addition to any unit disposals, and that while U.S. headcount would decrease, in Europe it could grow.
The bank posted a higher-than-expected net profit increase of 35% from the year before to US$8.9 billion, though the improved profit comes on the back of a lower tax charge. Revenue, at $35.7 billion, was flat. Asia, along with Latin America, posted double-digit growth in revenue.
But costs remain stubbornly high. Chief executive Stuart Gulliver set a target earlier this year of a cost efficiency ratio (or costs relative to income) of 52%. That figure now stands at 57.5%, down from 60.9% at the end of the first quarter. In contrast, Standard Chartered PLC reported a cost to income ratio of 55.9% in its full-year results in March.
Apart from job cuts, the bank will accelerate its strategy of disposing of unprofitable retail banking operations, the latest being an announcement on Monday that it would sell 195 of its retail banking branches in the U.S., mostly in upstate New York, for US$1 billion in cash to First Niagara Financial Group. It also said there are prospective buyers for its U.S. credit cards business. Earlier this year, HSBC said it would exit retail banking in Russia and Poland.
Analysts, and investors, seem to believe the bank is on the right track, with HSBC's shares up sharply by 4.5% in London after the results were announced.
Hargreaves Lansdown, a brokerage in London, said "cost cutting and prudent growth management through its retail and commercial operations have been contributors to the upward surprise, whilst the bad loan figures have reduced impressively," according to Dow Jones Newswires Market Talk.
Macquarie Capital adds that HSBC's numbers are solid and don't look to be supported by one-offs or substantial provision reductions, while its strong balance sheet is a haven in these troubled times.

More and more practitioners are exploring Yin Yoga. This is a natural reaction to what has become an extremely yang health culture. Yin yoga is the relaxed practice of floor postures for three to five minutes at a time. A yin practice emphasizes the connective tissues of the hips, thighs, pelvis and lower spine. It prepares the body and mind for longer meditation practices. By drawing the student's awareness away from the muscles and deeper into the bones a deep level of relaxed focus is achieved.
This 30-hour intensive is a strong compliment for a current Yoga Teacher of any style or a spring board for the student who is ready to take the leap into a broader perspective and fuller appreciation of the practice of Yin Yoga.
Joe Barnett is an experienced Guest Speaker. Joe lives in the Unites States and lectures and speaks extensively throughout the United States, Europe and Canada. Joe is passionate about helping students to find their own natural alignment in yoga postures, particularly through Yin Yoga. Trained by Paul Grilley, the founder of Yin Yoga, and assistant Trainer to Paul, Joe is uniquely qualified to bring this intensive to the Ottawa community.
Dates and Times
SOLD OUT! Please check back for 2017/2018 dates.
The intensive is held over 4 full days, Friday, March 18 to Monday, March 21, 2016.
The hours each day are:
- Friday to Monday – 9:00 am – 6:00 pm each day
Seminar Outline
Day 1 and 2: Foundations – A Practice of Surrender
Yin Yoga is a very simple practice. We settle into an asana for 3-7 minutes and slowly relax our muscles to allow the deeper drier tissues (the connective tissues that wrap our muscles and make up our joint capsules) to be safely and therapeutically stretched, stimulated and strengthened.
The alignment rules of the postures are also simple, but more importantly they are functional and organic: We listen to our bodies and lead ourselves into the shape that follows the natural contours of our spine, pelvis and hips. However, bringing ourselves into this simplicity can be quite challenging. The practice of being still and quiet for minutes at a time can be trying enough, let alone while dropping into a powerful stretch that moves across wide sheets of fascia and drops deep into the ligaments of the joints. Listening to our bodies to find the natural alignment of the pose requires a power of discrimination and an understanding and familiarity with the ever-changing sensations in the body.
In this intensive, we will analyze, observe and practice all of these elements of Yin Yoga in depth. We will examine ourselves on a personal level with ancient meditation techniques that guide us into a steady awareness of the changing sensations in the postures. We will study with slides of real bones and by articulating the joints on a plastic skeleton. But mostly we will have an interactive, hands-on study and examine each other with anatomical range of motion (ROM) tests. The study culminates in a truer understanding of the infinite variety of human bodies (from the bones up), an understanding of why every posture should be modified to the individual, and the basic techniques to help guide each Yin Yoga student with their unique skeletal structures into the appropriate asana for them.
Day 3 and 4: Understanding Alignment, Functional and Organic
We will go further into the study of skeletal variations and individual modifications, which we reinforce with continual, live and interactive anatomical studies; and because the source of most injuries in Yoga is a misunderstanding of anatomical differences in our bones. We will go further into the study of Functional Alignment and into schematics of muscle, fascia and subtle energy channels in order to focus less on what we are avoiding and a little more on our target areas in each posture.
These 2 days culminate into the art of developing an effective and appropriate Energy Curve in a yoga class, and the art of sequencing Yin Yoga postures for a dominantly Yin class or as a means to support a more fiery and/or fluid Flow (Yang) class.
Cost and Registration
$650.00 per person.
Registration closes March 10, 2016, at 5:00 pm.
Fee includes handouts and a 5-Class Package valid for one year.

Attendees must have a minimum of one year of experience practicing yoga regularly. Prior certification to teach yoga is not a prerequisite. For 200 hour certified Yoga Teachers the credits for this intensive can be applied towards a 500 hour certification and is eligible for CEUs with Yoga Alliance.
Minimum Registration: 15 students.
Maximum Registration: 45 students.

A last minute call from my brother lettting me know that he had an extra for Sunday only put a half smile on my face. I was hesitant to go, because I felt that it would be a bit of a tease. Apparently I hadn't yet forgiven Trey for letting himself getting drowned in addiction, but, c'mon...it's been four years. It was time to let it go.
Right from the get go, BOTT was symbolic to me. I was thinking, "Okay, this seems familiar." I am a huge fan of Driver, so I was really excited to hear this one. Waste is one of my favorite ballads. Always has been. I've always enjoyed the lyrics and the way Trey would solo on this with Phish. And then.... my man.... Mr. Michael Gordon!!!
Now, at this point, my brother and I knew that 3/4's of Phish were on the grounds. We were hoping for a helicopter to fly in with the sandwich king on board, but it was not to be. One half of Phish that day was better than none at all. But, we all know how this turned out just a few months later.....
And that's why this show has stuck with me. It felt like more than just a solo Trey show with Mike on the last few tunes. My brother and I couldn't stop smiling while they were playing, and in between saying "What if?" We knew 3 of them were there that day, so why not all four? It felt like things were coming together for something bigger than a solo Trey. Of course, we could've just been "happy" I suppose. Who knows? But, this one, aside from my first Phish show will be one of those moments that I'll always cherish.

Comments: Eats fish, crustaceans, mollusks, worms, garbage. Catches food, scavenges after ships, or pirates fish from pelicans, cormorants, and other birds. May feed at garbage dumps or along beaches. Sometimes eats eggs and young of other birds (e.g., murres, Spear 1993). See Spear (1988) for information on feeding areas of gulls from Farallon Islands.

Western gull
The western gull (Larus occidentalis) is a large white-headed gull that lives on the west coast of North America. It was previously considered conspecific with the yellow-footed gull (Larus livens) of the Gulf of California. The western gull ranges from British Columbia, Canada to Baja California, Mexico,[2] and, because of its convenient colonies on the coast of California, it is well studied. Despite being a well-known bird species on the West Coast of the US, it is of some slight conservation concern given its restricted range (for a gull).

The western gull is a large gull that can measure 55 to 68 cm (22 to 27 in) in total length, spans 130 to 144 cm (51 to 57 in) across the wings, and weighs 800 to 1,400 g (1.8 to 3.1 lb).[3][4] The average mass among a survey of 48 gulls of the species was 1,011 g (2.229 lb).[5] Among standard measurements, the wing chord is 38 to 44.8 cm (15.0 to 17.6 in), the bill is 4.7 to 6.2 cm (1.9 to 2.4 in) and the tarsus is 5.8 to 7.5 cm (2.3 to 3.0 in).[3] The western gull has a white head and body, and gray wings. It has a yellow bill with a red subterminal spot (this is the small spot near the end of the bill that chicks peck in order to stimulate feeding). It closely resembles the slaty-backed gull (Larus schistisagus). In the north of its range it forms a hybrid zone with its close relative the glaucous-winged gull (Larus glaucescens). Western gulls take approximately four years to reach their full plumage,[6] their layer of feathers and the patterns and colors on the feathers. The western gull typically lives about 15 years, but can live up to 25 years.[citation needed] The largest western gull colony is on the Farallon Islands, located about 26 mi (40 km) west of San Francisco, California;[7] an estimated 30,000 gulls live in the San Francisco Bay area.[8]
The western gull is rarely encountered inland or away from the ocean[6] and is almost an exclusively marine gull. It nests on offshore islands and rocks along the coast, and on islands inside estuaries. A colony also exists on Alcatraz Island in San Francisco Bay. In the colonies, long term pairs aggressively defend territories whose borders may shift slightly from year to year, but are maintained for the life of the male.[citation needed]
Western gulls feed in pelagic environments and in intertidal environments. At sea, they take fish[7] and invertebrates like krill, squid and jellyfish. They cannot dive and feed exclusively on the surface. On land they feed on seal and sea lion carcasses, as well as cockles, starfish, limpets and snails in the intertidal zone. They also feed on human food refuse, in human-altered habitats including landfills, and taking food from people at marinas and beaches. At times some western gulls can be predatory, preying on the young of other birds and even adults of some species. One western gull at Oakland's Lake Merritt was known for killing and eating pigeons (rock doves) on a daily basis. Western gulls will also snatch a fish from a cormorant's or pelican's mouth before it is swallowed.
A nest of vegetation is constructed inside the parent's territory and 3 eggs are laid. These eggs are incubated for a month. The chicks, once hatched, remain inside the territory until they have fledged. Chicks straying into the territory of another gull are liable to be killed by that territory's pair. Chick mortality is high, with on average one chick surviving to fledging. On occasion, abandoned chicks will be adopted by other gulls.
In Washington state, the western gull hybridizes frequently with the glaucous-winged gull, and may closely resemble a Thayer's gull.[6] The hybrids have a flatter and larger head and a thicker bill with a pronounced angle on the lower part of the bill, which distinguishes it from the smaller Thayer's gull.[6]
Western gulls and humans[edit]
The western gull is currently not considered threatened. However, they have, for a gull, a restricted range. Numbers were greatly reduced in the 19th century by the taking of seabird eggs for the growing city of San Francisco. Western gull colonies also suffered from disturbance where they were turned into lighthouse stations, or, in the case of Alcatraz, a prison.
Western gulls are very aggressive when defending their territories and consequently were persecuted by some as a menace. The automation of lighthouses and the closing of Alcatraz Prison allowed the species to reclaim parts of its range. They are currently vulnerable to climatic events like El Niño events and oil spills.
Western gulls have become a serious nuisance to the San Francisco Giants baseball team. Thousands of gulls fly over AT&T Park in San Francisco during late innings of games. They swarm the field, defecate on fans, and after games eat leftovers of stadium food in the seats; how the birds know when games are about to end is unknown. The gulls left while a red-tailed hawk visited the park in late 2011, but returned after the hawk disappeared. Federal law prohibits shooting the birds, and hiring a falconer would cost the Giants $8000 a game.[8]

Names and Taxonomy
Comments: Closely related to several other species within the Larus californicus complex; this complex poses one of the most complicated problems in ornithological systematics today. Frequently hybridizes (and may be conspecific) with L. glaucescens from southern British Columbia to western Oregon (AOU 1983).

The Canterbury Tales: The Knight's Tale
by Geoffrey Chaucer
The Canterbury Tales: The Knight's Tale Suffering Quotes
How we cite our quotes: (Line)
Quote #4
'For I moot wepe and wayle, whil I lyve,
With al the wo that prison may me yeve,
And eek with peyne that love me yeveth also,
That doubleth al my torment and my wo.'
Palamon, stuck in prison while Arcite goes free, says that both imprisonment and love cause him suffering, or "wo." In fact, love seems to cause so much suffering, that we're starting to wonder why anyone would want to feel it. Theseus raises this same question later on.
Quote #5
And in his geere for al the world he ferde
Nat oonly lik the loveris maladye
Of Hereos, but rather lyk manye
Engendred of humour malencolik
Biforen in his celle fantastik.
This excerpt concludes a passage that details Arcite's suffering while he's not able to see Emily. He's so upset, says the narrator, that he behaves not "oonly" like a lovesick fool, but rather like a former prisoner driven mad by his imprisonment. Of course, Arcite is both a lover and a former prisoner. This creates a literal connection between love and imprisonment and also links the two in the way they cause suffering.
Quote #6
Of his lynage am I, and his ofspryng,
By verray ligne, as of the stok roial,
And now I am so caytyf and so thral
That he that is my mortal enemy
I serve hym as his squier povrely.
Like the lamenting women who met Theseus on his way back to Athens, Arcite here identifies the cause of his woe to be a fall from prosperity. He once held a high position in, but now he's a "caytyf," or wretched slave, to his mortal enemy. This fall from grace troubles him, as it did the lamenting women (the ones who beg Theseus to kill Creon). Unlike them, however, Arcite has chosen his lowly position because of his love for Emily. Here again, love is causing suffering.

Work underway on new dorms at Champlain College
Buildings will house 180 students after they are finished in 2014
Construction is underway on two new dormitories at Champlain College in Vermont's largest city.
The two new buildings will house 180 students after they are finished in July 2014.
They will mark the completion of a dorm complex on a 4.7-acre tract that is part of a move toward Champlain's goal of housing 90 percent of its students on or near the campus.
The Burlington Free Press reports the college has also purchased two properties off campus with an eye to redeveloping them for student housing, although work on those buildings has not been scheduled.
Three dorms have already been built on the same tract.
Champlain College has about 2,000 undergraduates.

Curtains are a great way to make a statement within
a room. They can be stylish, yet elegant and
can bring together the whole room.
Curtain Headings:
Tabbed - these have a folded tab of material at the top of them and are attached to a curtain pole. If you have an elegant and stylish curtain pole which you would like to show off then this type of curtain heading is perfect for you.
Pencil Pleat - these are the more traditional way of displaying curtains. The name comes from the way the pleats fold together, as it resembles pencils laid side by side. It consists of tightly gathered folds that are then pulled through by a cord along on the heading tape. This allows more room for adjustment according to the window size. Pencil pleat curtains can be used on either a curtain pole or track.
Eyelet - these are a more modern form of styling. The eyelets can vary in size and diameter depending on which you prefer and the weight of the material you are using.
Curtain Linings:
Lined curtains are better in many ways, such as enhancing the appearance of colours and patterns on the fabric, giving extra insulation when it's cold, protecting from strong sunlight and adding extra hanging weight.
Readymade Curtains - Sizes:
Where the Range curtains are sold in pairs, the size given refers to each individual curtain. For example if you buy a curtain that is 167x229cm (66"x90") each curtain will be 167X229cm. Therefore when the curtains are closed this will allow you double gather on a pole that is 167cm wide.
Please note that in all of our sizes the first dimension is the width and the second is the length. For example 167 x 229cm is Width x Length.
When measuring for your curtains, always measure the pole and not the window to get the correct length and drop. Allow for extra curtain, so that they meet in the middle with sufficient gather.
Decide on what drop you want, to the floor, or to the sill. Always remember that curtains to the floor should finish about 1.5cm (1/2") from the floor in order to stop the wear on hem. And curtains to the sill should finish 15cm (6") below the window sill to stop drafts and light coming through.
Care Advice:
It is very likely that newly hung curtains will show creases and folds. However follow the correct ironing instructions and after they are hung they will drop out.
To avoid marking the fabric, attach tracks with a cord or use rods to draw the curtain.
Make sure you have a slight gap between the curtain and the window pane otherwise it may be in contact with condensation and damp conditions.
When hand washing make sure that you do not rub the materials together as this can cause deterioration to the fabric and design. Also use a colour care detergent as this will mean that the colours will not run or fade out of the materials.
Always make sure that when machine washing your curtains you use a low speed spin and a cool temperature. Once spun, the material should still have a little bit of moisture in it so that the creases will drop out and the curtain will retain its shape.
Before cleaning your curtains, always remember to remove accessories, such as the draw strings, hooks and weights. Most curtains are washable in some way whether they are hand washable, machine washable or dry cleaned. Please check the label for further instructions on your material.

Virtual International Project Team (VIPT)
The VIPT program is currently undergoing major revision for the 2016-2017 academic year, and discussions are underway with other institutions about potential partnerships with the University of Iowa in the VIPT program. Please check back soon for updates.
Over the past decade, engineering has become a more global profession. The College of Engineering at the University of Iowa (UI) is partnering with the Universite of Provence (UP) in Marseille, France to provide an international project experience for undergraduate engineering students called Virtual International Project Teams (VIPT). The admission process for VIPT takes place during the Spring semester. Students apply on ICON by clicking on Mechanical and Industrial Senior Design Sign-up under Ongoing semester (you will need to click on the "semester" drop-down list and change the current selection, "Spring 2013 to Ongoing"). To sign up, go to the Dropbox and upload your resume to "Request for Resume" and then go to Surveys to complete the survey form.
The VIPT program involves substantial interaction between students from the two universities on a collaborative project that lasts for two semesters (typically in the senior year). It accounts for a total of four semester hours (4 s.h.). Students should register for ME:4086 (58:086) ME Design Project (Section 3: VIPT) for 2 s.h. in the Fall semester, and for ME:4186 (58:186) Enhanced Design Experience (Section 2: VIPT) for 2 s.h. in the Spring semester. Upon successful completion of this course sequence, 1 s.h. from ME:4186 (58:186) will be applied towards ME:4086 (58:086) in order to fulfill the 3 s.h. requirement for ME:4086 (58:086). The second semester hour from ME:4186 (58:186) will remain in the course pool or may be used in an EFA.
Students who are selected for the VIPT program cannot participate in the PEDE program. However, the VIPT program satisfies the PEDE requirement for students who are in the Design EFA. Since the PEDE program is a total of 6 s.h., but the VIPT program is only 4 s.h., Design EFA students need to make up for the difference in semester hours by selecting another elective from the list that is approved for the Design EFA.

Woody Allen, who had an affair with and then married his girlfriend's daughter (his children's step-sister), is among the Hollywood elites who are calling for the release of child-rapist and fugitive from justice, director Roman Polanski
Click to view image: '267c1ecb5ec7-beatingcharges400cap.jpg'
Martin Scorsese and Woody Allen want Roman Polanski back on the streets. Jewel, not so much...
The two Oscar winners, along with Pedro Almodóvar, John Landis, Jonathan Demme, David Lynch and more than 100 filmmakers, actors and industry types, have signed a petition objecting to the fugitive director's arrest and demanding his release from a Swiss jail.
Authorities in Zurich took the 76-year-old Polanski into custody Saturday at the behest of Los Angeles prosecutors, who want him brought to justice for a 1978 statutory rape conviction.
The fact Polanski's been on the lam for drugging and then having sex with a 13-year-old girl didn't seem to faze his fellow filmmakers, who are peeved that the Academy Award winner behind Chinatown, Rosemary's Baby and The Pianist was picked up while he was on his way to accept a lifetime achievement award from the Zurich International Film Festival.
"It seems inadmissible to them that an international cultural event, paying homage to one of the greatest contemporary filmmakers, is used by the police to apprehend him," proclaims the petition, which has the support of France's Society of Dramatic Authors and Composers.
Other notable signatories include directors Wim Wenders, Terry Gilliam, Wong Kar-Wai, Darren Aronofsky, Alfonso Cuarón and Alejandro González Iñárritu, as well as actresses Monica Bellucci, Tilda Swinton and Asia Argento.
"The arrest of Roman Polanski in a neutral country, where he assumed he could travel without hindrance...opens the way for actions of which no one can know the effects," the group added in their appeal.
But not every celebrity is on the "Free Roman" bandwagon.
"Polanski-admitted raping a 13 yr old-whys every1 in the arts upset hes facing jail? cause hes a gifted director? what am i missing?" asked bewildered singer-songwriter Jewel via Twitter.
Also chiming in was The View's Sherri Shepherd.
"Whew...long day at The View...two shows today...hot debate over the Statutory Rapist Polanski. 45 year old man plies a 13yr old w/drugs & Liquor and anally & orally penetrates her w/o her consent is a RAPIST," she tweeted. "We hunt down 75 year old Nazis. We must protect our children."
The outcry comes as Polanski's lawyers filed a potentially more binding petition of their own—asking the Swiss Criminal Court to release him from custody and block his extradition to the United States.
His legal team wants Polanski to be allowed to post bail or be remanded to house arrest at the Swiss chalet he owns in Gstaad.
The filmmaker holds dual citizenship in Poland and France and has remained in Paris since fleeing California authorities three decades ago.
