A cannon is fired at Fort Mulligan. A 150th anniversary celebration of this historical Civil War site will be held Saturday from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m.
A scripted Civil War skirmish is scheduled for 1:30 p.m., followed by a Ladies Tea at 2 p.m. and a period dance at 7 p.m. There will also be period craftsman, music, food and craft vendors. For the adventurous, lantern tours of the fort and camps begin at 9 p.m.
The South Branch of the Potomac River was a middle ground, sought after by both the Union and Confederate troops during the Civil War because of its location between the Shenandoah Valley and the Upper Potomac region.
The fort was constructed in 1863 by Union troops under Colonel James A. Mulligan to protect the South Branch Valley from Confederate forces and is built entirely of dirt and lined with timber. Troops also used the fort as an auxiliary depot.
"For years the fort was inaccessible, until its historical significance was recognized by group of residents who organized and began taking steps to ensure its preservation," said Hanna Weaver, executive director of the Grant County Convention and Visitors Bureau. "It's a very important historical Civil War site not only for Grant County, but all of West Virginia. It is one of the lesser-known historical sites in Grant County, making it one of Grant County's best-kept secrets. We're hoping that will change as more people learn about its significance."

The efforts of a group of Davis & Elkins College Education students have paid off for 37 students at Riamukurwe Primary School in Nyeri, Kenya. As part of their service-learning project, the D&E students sold T-shirts and hoodies and raised more than $1,500, which will provide tuition and uniforms for the Kenyan scholars.
The students also recently received a $500 gift from an anonymous donor at Davis Memorial Presbyterian Church.
The project began in the spring when students in Assistant Professor of Education Dr. Jennifer Tesar's EDUC 311 Social Studies Methods class adopted Riamukurwe Primary School in Nyeri, Kenya, and started the Riamukurwe Primary School Scholarship and Uniform Fund. After conducting research, the class decided to raise money for a scholarship and tuition fund to aid Riamukurwe Primary School. Lisa Papez, a senior from Beverly, led the class project. Other members of the class are Gloria Lemus-Perez, a junior from Arlington, Va.; Rivanna Kyle, a senior from Mill Creek; Taylor Hurley, a senior from Logan; Markita Prieto, a senior from Belington; Emilee Beckwith, a junior from Beverly; Shanda Ross, a senior from Bowden; Amanda Poling, a junior from Mill Creek; Tiffany Carr, a sophomore from Elkins; and Sarah Shelton, a senior from Belington.

The Davis & Elkins College Social Studies Methods class, instructed by Assistant Professor of Education Dr. Jennifer Tesar, seated center, raised more than $1,500 to help provide tuition and uniforms for students at Riamukurwe Primary School in Nyeri, Kenya. Class members are, from left, front row, Gloria Lemus-Perez, Rivanna Kyle, Lisa Papez, Taylor Hurley and Markita Prieto; back row, Emilee Beckwith, Shanda Ross, Amanda Poling, Tiffany Carr and Sarah Shelton.
"While Kenya has adopted a free primary education system, the government provides very little to no money to help support the primary schools," Tesar says. "In order for students to attend Riamukurwe Primary School they must pay tuition and purchase a uniform, which equates to about $40 U.S. Unfortunately, many families living in Nyeri, Kenya, cannot afford to send their child to school due to tuition and uniform cost."
The selection of Riamukurwe Primary School wasn't random. For the past nine years, D&E Professor of English Dr. Bob McCutcheon has been visiting Nyeri, Kenya, to extend and foster the relationships among Davis & Elkins College, Davis Memorial Presbyterian Church, the Presbytery of West Virginia, the Synod of the Trinity with The Presbyterian University of East Africa, Nyeri Presbytery and other Presbyterian churches in Nyeri, Kenya.
Tesar says one of the main objectives of the service-learning project was to help preservice social studies teachers make global connections, develop their global perspective and engage in civic action.
"Global service learning projects often differ from what many people consider a 'typical' service-learning project," Tesar says. "Typically a service-learning project entails students studying a local group/community, understanding their needs, raising awareness about their needs, and then applying concepts and knowledge learned in class in order to work as a group to raise funds and/or building something to meet the needs of the group/community."
However, for this project, students used concepts and information learned in their Social Studies Methods course to raise funds by educating others on Riamukurwe Primary School and the country of Kenya.
Over the next several years, Davis & Elkins education students, specifically those in Tesar's Social Studies Methods course, will continue to raise money and educate their peers, the college community, the local community and local K-12 classrooms on the students at Riamukurwe Primary School. The next step in the project is to take education students to visit Riamukurwe Primary School in the winter of 2015.
"It will be through this safari (the Kiswahili word for any journey, not just hunting) that our students will connect with the teachers and students at Riamukurwe Primary School," Tesar says. "Our goal of the trip is for Davis & Elkins College education students to observe a 'typical' school day, collaborate and teach with the teachers and administrators as much as possible, and, most importantly, provide assistance to fulfill Principal Samuel Thuku's dream of building a school library."
Short- and long-sleeved T-shirts and hoodies in sizes youth to XXL are still available. The back of the shirts features a quote from Henry Broughman's 1828 speech to the House of Commons, which reads: "Education makes people easy to lead difficult to drive impossible to enslave." The same quote, inscribed on a plaque, hangs on a wall at Riamukurwe Primary School. Tony Daft of T.D.'s Classic Tees in Beverly assisted Papez and the class with the design of the shirts.
In addition, Tesar says Kenyan student sponsorships are also being accepted. A gift of $25 covers tuition and $40 includes tuition and a uniform. Anyone interested in purchasing a shirt or making a donation may contact Tesar at firstname.lastname@example.com.
For more information, please visit the college website at www.dewv.edu or call 304-637-1243.

Presently, all that is heard about government is the GOP refusal to compromise with President Barack Obama on the artificial fiscal cliff.
You ask me "artificial fiscal cliff?" Hey, it is real, because the Democrats tell me it is. Well, in truth there is a fiscal cliff and we have stepped off of it about 12 years ago. We are now in free fall, quickly approaching the rocky bottom.
At present, the only sane thing out there is the automatic austerity plans that will kick in the first of the year. Yes, everyone will bite the bullet on this one, but there is no choice.
Those fools (and I use this word seldom) who wish to believe Obama in the fact that the Republicans are creating a crisis because they will not raise the tax on their rich buddies should know this is pure bravo sierra, an old Navy term which many know. The crisis is here and has been for nearly 12 years so far, it is just Obama's administration runaway spending put things into overdrive.
As it stands, Obama and friends are trying to tell the American public they want to increase the debt limit by $1,600,000,000,000 (a bunch of 0's, isn't it?) while increasing revenues, which even under the most rosy estimate will be no more than $80,000,000,000. Now you can see, if you took grade school math, a 0.2-percent increase on income as compared to spending is not a real good fiscal plan, is it?
Obama and friends keep stating this is a good idea and will work out fine. Well, let me use a simple example that shows you just how foolish this is. This is similar to someone with a $50,000 income buying a $1 million home because he got a $250 annual raise and now can afford the loan. Oh yeah, liberals, all I did was take the same percentages and bring it down to a common-man level; no smoke and mirrors involved.
The Republicans are not clean as the fresh wind-blown snow, either. They also contributed into this deficit spending when they held the House, Senate and presidency; however, not to the level that this administration has. So both sides are at fault.
Now that the Republicans are taking a stand, which I feel they will wimp out, on letting the automatic spending cuts take place, the public is against them. If they wimp out and allow the Democrats to have their way, we will not gain a thing, maybe months before the wheels fall off and nothing more.
Many entitlement programs are bankrupt already, Social Security being one of the worst, due to incompetent government management. An example is Social Security and its funding methods, very low interest on investment due to their payout methods. It is set up so that once someone retires, their supposed account is moved into a non-interest bearing fund at one time. If you don't believe me, look it up; if it were done by a private agency, the management would get to wear a set of bracelets with a short chain, be told a short story of what their rights were, get to ride in the back of a car with no door handles on the inside, get to talk with a stern man in a black robe about his actions, and then get a fully paid vacation in a resort with crossbars on the windows and doors.
To sum it up, "We, the People," have been taken to the cleaners due to our own inaction, not Congress or the presidents past or present.
The only group seeming to be acting like real leaders are the Republicans in the House; sometimes you gotta do what is right and not what is popular. Taxes are going to have to go up on everyone, and government spending, including entitlements, are going to have to be cut. Yes, it is going to hurt, but allowing this to continue and ignoring the situation is just making the problem worse.

"Pleasantly surprised"
By 1st time buyer from New Jersey
I love my new blinds! They blackout light well and also reduce draft from my windows. When I am able, I will most likely purchase more for other windows in my home. The installation is not as easy as I expected, however, or perhaps my measuring wasn't as accurate as it should have been. Two of the blinds were a very tight fit into my window frame and the adhesives came off during installation. Fortunately, the inner mounting device is quite strong and is adequate form holding the frame in place.View this product
"Pricey but worth it"
By DocMahogany from Brooklyn, NY
My windows swing open inwards so traditional blinds weren't an option as window always hit the blinds. These were ridiculously easy to install and fit my window pane like a glove. I have had the best sleep in months and I have been able to enjoy watching my movies during the daytime because the shades definitely block out the light.View this product

banana_noob:does anyone play these anymore, cause i was on line 2day and saw no games
Those two game types have never been played much. I see them hosted once in a while but i guess you have to host your own games if you wanna play them.
Its really to bad they arent played. things like treaty are, and god knows its unbalanced. maybe I will try for a king of the hill or regicide game some time soon.
(yup, just boosted this completely dead thread, and for no real reason!)
cam44:wut inn thee fawk r u tokking abowt?
It is definetely a bad thing that these game types are not so popular nowadays as the best thing in regicide is that you can always win the game no matter what the score says, even if your town is a burning ruin and your army is defeated.
Haven't either played regicide or been online for a while, though.
Alicorn700:wat up niggas
tycho.psycho:They would be played a lot more if they were actually rated, and ffa needs to be rated too.
Musketeer925:I'm pretty sure regicide is rated.
Yes, they are, at least I think so, one time I played it with a bash of 4 players, I forgot if I got points or not, but I think I didn't, but it is in the Normal maps, therefor it's rated.
For King of the Hill, it's only good for making the game Not Rated, also that you can just delete the Hill, and ending the timer.
You do know that RE will not fix/add/make anything on ESO, they will only repair the servers and a few other errors, not all, however. It wouldn't be much easy to win against all others, so RE didn't make it rated, plus it would ruin it due to many wanting rank, not fun, but it is an idea. Maybe you should go into game designing and make one with that?
Is that king thing listed as hero or mercenary ?
If yes, petard spy FF ftw ? :)
The Regicide?
No, it is a Daimyo, a very very VERY weak Daimyo, not a Mercenary or Hero.
It is a Cavalry unit.
The Kings Hill looks like a fort, but it cannot attack, or be attacked.
It's like a ragdoll, that looks like a fort.
sief3792:does anyone play these anymore, cause i was on line 2day and saw no gamesWOW GoldCheap Maplestory Mesoscheap tera gold
Unfortunately absolutely no people play King of the Hill even though its extremely fun. You will see the occasional group play regecide even though its not as played as most games.

James E. Uptegrove, of Ryan Street, was arrested several hours after he allegedly threatened a clerk and stole several hundred dollars Thursday evening at a Kwik Fill gas station at 3625 North Buffalo St.
He is accused of forcing the clerk to lie down on the floor while claiming to be armed.
Police learned Uptegrove drove from the store in a 1998 Blue Chevy Blazer.
After Uptegrove was arrested by Orchard Park detectives later in the evening, he was identified as a suspect in other robberies that have occurrred in recent weeks at stores in Buffalo, West Seneca and Orchard Park.
Orchard Park detectives credited the help they received from Buffalo and West Seneca police in tracking Uptegrove.

After a super-busy season of racing, Ty Tessman is relaxing back home in Canada with another ROAR Championship and 3rd place overall at the recent IFMAR Worlds - both achievements taken with the help of his HB D413!
We were lucky enough to be able to steal a few minutes from his busy schedule and get a few questions to Ty as he worked on his buggy:
Thanks for talking with us Ty! We know that the RC racing world is anxious to hear what it's like to drive the D413.
First things first: the designer of the D413, Torrance Deguzman, says that he designed the car to be super-durable so that drivers can feel confident about pushing 100% without fear of breaking. How long did it take for you to get used to driving full-bore around the track? Were there any big changes to your driving style required?
I was able to drive the car like I drive my 1/8 scale so it wasn't hard for me, when I drove my previous 4WD cars I felt that I couldn't push the car, if I had to make a pass like taking a jump long or jumping a curb I didn't have the confidence that the car could take it. I had to drive accordingly, if I got behind I basically had to hope for the other driver to crash I just couldn't go any faster. With the D413 I have the confidence that no matter what I throw at it, it isn't going to break so that if I have to step it up a bit I don't really give the car's durability a second thought. This is very important in mains when it comes to side by side racing.
And did you have any 'wow' moments when something happened that you were sure had broken the car, but it kept on going?
There was the one moment in A2 at the worlds where Cavalieri spun out in front of me, I had nowhere to go and I hit him and spun out, and then Maifield was right behind me with also no where to go hit me. It all happened within about a second, both their cars broke and I drove away, it was a pretty spectacular crash and definitely showed the durability of the D413, although I did bend the front sway bar.
You were qualified 3rd to start the triple A-Mains and you're the reigning ROAR Champion, so you're no slouch on the track, but just ahead of you, there's one racer trying to hang onto his World title and ahead of him is the European Champ on pole, who's going to be desperate to not let anyone past. Do you think there was more pressure on them than there was on you going into the mains?
I can't speak for them but for me this is probably the second most nerve wracking race I have ever run, a lot of the pressure I felt was put on me by myself, I really wanted to do well with the new car, I did everything I could to prepare for this race, I think the only thing that could have been better is if I could have had more time with the car but I would have to say that the last couple of laps of the 3rd main was the most nervous I have ever been in my racing career.
And how do you deal with race pressure like that when a World title is on the line? What kind of tips could you give someone who gets on pole for the first time at a club event?
I say a silent prayer that my Lord and saviour will help me to stay calm and focused on what I need to do which is drive my own race and don't crash. To someone that is on pole for the first time at a club race I would say try and stay calm, take a deep breath, run your own race, you are on pole for a reason you are obviously fast enough just try not to crash.
In the second A-Main, you went through 2 crashes that could have ended your run, (I think with a broken car in each incident), and in fact we saw in the A3 run Matsukura broke to lose his chance at the title, and we saw Lutz break in the A1 as well – if drivers are this rough at the World Championship level, how do you think the D413 will hold up in clubman races around the world?
This was my first electric worlds and I was quite surprised how rough the 4WD mains were, this track was extremely difficult and extremely fast and throwing the wind factor in made it even more difficult but I can honestly say that the thought of me breaking my car never crossed my mind. I ran all practice, all qualifying and all the mains without breaking once, the only parts I replaced were the inner hinge pin mounts that wore from the abrasive surface, one slightly bent shock screw and one sway bar from the crash in A2. I think that without question the D413 will definitely outlast every other car on the track.
Back to racing tips for a moment: the Worlds track was huge, and presumably you have to learn the track a section at a time – what's your process for learning a new track, especially one with such tough and complex areas?
Before the race even starts my Dad and I walk the track and we pretty much have the lines figured out before I even drive on the track, then I just have to learn how much throttle for each jump and each section. The depth perception from the drivers stand is always slightly different and on the worlds track the drivers stand was unusually high for an electric race, the first couple of laps I kind of take it easy getting the angles and speed figured out, it normally only takes the first practice round to get the layout figured out and then I need to work on getting more and more speed as I go.
And back to the D413: For you, what was the difference between the shorty LiPo, which is what 4WD buggies seem to be moving to, and saddle pack? What advantages will HB racers have being able to swap between the two setups? Will it be as big as going from rear- to mid-motor in 2WD?
The difference between the shorty and saddle pack is not that big it is more of a subtle change, the shorty makes the car lighter and more nimble and the saddle pack basically slows everything down, the handling response is toned down and the car feels a little bit lazier. I could definitely see using the saddle pack on really rough tracks, like the one that the Euros was run on this year.
Finally, when the D413 gets in racer's hands around
the world, they're going to want to know the best setup
– which is going to be yours, obviously! So what's the
number one thing racers should do with the D413 when they get it
built properly?
Until the car is released we are kind of keeping everything under wraps as to not give our competition any insight into what we are doing but when it is released we will have setups for both loose and high bite tracks and we are working on some build tips videos that will be posted on my website and also be shared with HPI for their website.
Thanks so much for taking the time to answer these questions, Ty!
Thanks to HPI for giving me the opportunity to share my thoughts on this awesome car.
We'd like to thank Ty and the rest of 'Team Tessmann' for their help and achievements this year: his father Gord, mother Leann and sister Jesse!

The findings of a new study show that mothers with infant children in the U.S. are more educated than they ever have been. And they are more likely to be older and married by the time children arrive.
That's good news for a generation of children that will grow up with more opportunities and a better quality of life just because their mothers are better able to provide the necessities and the niceties of family life. Statistics show there will be fewer children growing up in abject poverty, and more of them will be likely to stay in school for a good education.
Studies from around the world concentrate on a woman's quality of life as an indicator of how likely her family is to succeed and flourish.
The increase in education for women is a long-term trend, according to new Pew Research Center analysis of U.S. Census Bureau data. The study found that in 2011, about two-thirds (66 percent) of mothers had at least some college education, while 34 percent had a high school diploma or less and just 14 percent lacked a high school diploma. The analysis of the census data found that with education also comes the greater likelihood that women will be married when they have children. About six in 10 mothers with less than a high school diploma were unmarried, while only 9 percent of women with at least a bachelor's degree were unmarried.
With those statistics also come age variations. According to the study, almost half of new mothers without a high school diploma are younger than 25, while only 3 percent of new mothers with a bachelor's degree are younger than 25.
The Berkeley, Charleston and Dorchester county census numbers for 2011 reflect the nationwide statistics. The majority of mothers in Charleston County, 660 out of every 1,000, had some form of college experience. The same trends hold true for Berkeley and Dorchester counties.
For women with less than a high school education, the numbers were 163 in 1,000 for Charleston County; 145/1,000 for Berkeley County and 113/1,000 for Dorchester County.
If you think women aren't making progress, you only have to look back to 1960 to see the difference we have made in educating women and, thus, their families.
In 1960, only 17 percent of mothers with infants had any college experience, and 82 percent of mothers had only a high school education or less, according to the census figures.
The data also pointed out that the problem of young, unwed mothers is still a real problem, although the numbers are getting smaller.
The study says only "20% of those without a high school diploma are married, compared with 37% of high school graduates and 36% of women with some college experience. More than half (56%) of women ages 15 to 44 with a bachelor's degree are married."
All of this is good news for our society. It's good to know that 50 years can make a difference. And we know that a mother with more education is more likely to give birth to a healthy child. The children have better skills in school and tend to achieve higher educational goals. And a family with both a mother and a father is more likely to have a better quality of life, both emotionally and financially.
So now it's time to concentrate on those at the bottom, and work with those very young, unwed mothers so their kids will have a better shot in life, too.

La situation de l'appartement en centre ville Le calme la décoration L'accueil très amical et la disponibilité de Juan
This is a very clean, well furnished apartment in a great location to experience the center of Seville, especially during busy events like Semana Santa or the Feria. All the major attractions are within walking distance. The apartment has one larger bathroom with a shower and a separate toilet. There are kitchen supplies and a dryer washer but most people will not use them a lot. The beds are good and again very clean. Duande the owner was very good in receiving us and helpful during the stay. Overall a perfect location for 2 people who want to get to know Center of Seville. Even when the crowds are noisy outside the apartment is inside a former convent and is totally isolated and quiet,perfect for a good nights sleep after the the festivities.
location and equipment
Spacious, well-equipped, charming unit; close to historical venues, restaurants and shops.
Our host, Juan, gave us a walking tour to become acquainted with the neighborhood. Very helpful.

We loved the beautifully decorated and appointed apartment and all the care and attention that was given to its design elements. It is owned by Juan and his wife and you could tell that they have put a lot of thought into it. We loved the indoor courtyard of the building. It was beautiful. The apartment was also within walking distance to the sights and was on a quiet side street which added to the feeling of intimacy. You didn't feel like a tourist and that was what we were aiming for.

The destination of our trip is Anxian County in Mianyang Prefecture. We start our journey in the early morning with Dr. Amgaa from the regional health delegation, communications and information officer Mr. Francis from IFRC, Mr. Ding from the Chinese Red Cross and myself from UNV.
After an hour and a half's drive, we arrive at Anxian County in Mianyang and meet with the first psychological support team sent by the Government. It's interesting that some Chinese Olympic medal winners are involved in the activities psychologists have come up with to ease the psychological pressure on people. There are superstars such as table tennis winner Deng Yaping, diving winner Gao Min, gymnast Mo Huilan and shot-put winner Sun Haitao.
Then we have a talk with the leader of the team, Professor Yang Fengchi from Capital Medical University. He explains his team will stay in this county for five to ten days. Their tasks are mainly to provide individual and group psychological support, as well as training courses for local doctors and volunteers to enable a long term project.Now they are focusing on psychological intervention for soldiers who have just withdrawn from the disaster area and have witnessed many terrible things. They draw on both international and domestic methods and say that if such support can be continued, maybe the patients will recover in one or two years.For every person who is dead or injured, each will give psychological 'infection' to 10 relatives, says Professor Yang. Since this disaster brought approximately 270,000 casualties, that means there are 270,000 × 10 people need psychological aid. It could take ten years and three generations of Chinese psychologists1020hrs
After the interview with the first psychological team serving soldiers, we move to Mianyang city where the second team is implementing psychological support to refugees in the big camp nearby. Here the team is divided into several small groups giving talks to refugees. They also do some questionnaires and assessments in order to build up a database for tracking people in the future.
After lunch we go back to Anxian County to check the conditions of hospitals there. There are three hospitals at the county level and more than 30 subordinated clinics in rural areas. Almost all clinics were destroyed completely and can't function.
Though the better hospital at county level can still get running, all the buildings are in a dangerous state and surgical equipment cannot be used. All patients were moved out. Fortunately, the most heavily injured patients were transported to another safer city and those staying can get enough medical aid.
We arrive at Chengdu. After 10 minutes rest we have a meeting. Some good news is coming that a German field hospital will arrive at Chengdu this week, donated from the German Red Cross Emergency Response Unit to the Chinese Red Cross.
Australia is going to supply some water purification equipment to disaster area. The first batch of emergency tents amounting to 10,000 donated by IFRC will be transported to Chengdu in the coming few days from abroad, and those tents will be delivered to local schools and hospitals for emergency use.

Do you know the Texas laws on sexting, special needs and protecting kids in day care?
Parents and teens need to know about some of these laws that have passed in Texas, particularly the one about sexting, which is a misdemeanor. Here's a look at some of the laws that may affect your health, along with a few new laws that passed in other states that I wish would be considered here.
SEXTING: Youth who sext — sending sexually explicit pictures or messages usually between cell phones — can be charged with a misdemeanor, which could mean jail time. Underage kids who are convicted will take a state-sponsored educational class about the dangers of sexting with a parent. A conviction may be removed from the youth's record at 18.
TEEN SEX: Youth who have consensual sex with someone 15 years or older do not have to register as sex offenders if there is less than a four-year age gap between the couple.
SPECIAL NEEDS: When I interviewed Special Olympics CEO Timothy Shriver, he told me how offensive the 'R' word was. I think he and the supporters of the Spread the Word to End the Word effort would be happy to learn that in Texas, the term "mental retardation" has been replaced with references to developmental and intellectual disabilities. In another welcome law, statewide AMBER alerts, traditionally made for abducted children, can be made for missing adults with diagnosed intellectual developmental disabilities.
MEDICATION FOR KIDS: Daycare center workers, before or after school care providers and workers in group daycare homes need written parental permission to give medicine, including prescriptions and over the counter medications, to a child or they will face prosecution. The sad inspiration for this bill was the death of 3 1/2 month old Nathan King of Bryan, Texas, who died in 2008 of sudden infant death syndrome, or SIDS, after day-care workers gave him medication, diphenhydramine (commonly known as Benadryl), that had not been approved by his parents.
BOATING SAFETY: Do you like boating? If you're born after Sept. 1, 1993, you have to complete a boater safety education course first. Boaters must keep a valid ID and documents showing that they passed a boater education course with them. You also have to be at least 13 or supervised by someone older than 18, who can legally operate a motoboat, to operate a motorboat with a motor of more than 15 horsepower.
Here's some laws that just passed in other states that I'd love to see considered here:
TEENS AND DEFIBRILLATORS: Illinois now requires all middle school students in grades 6-8 to learn how to use a defibrillator. Way to go, Illinois! We have lost too many wonderful adults and kids, like Zachary Schrah, to sudden cardiac arrest because defibrillators were not readily available or people did not know how to use them.
ELECTRONIC CIGARETTES: New York now bans the sale of electronic cigarettes to kids. Electronic cigarettes serve a need for adults trying to kick the smoking habit, but sales to kids seem to have the opposite effect in promoting smoking as cool, especially when the electronic cigarettes are marketed in candy flavors. With smoking being one of the hardest habits to break, I applaud New York for doing its best not to tempt kids to start.

For first-year Bishop Carroll Catholic High School girls basketball coach Crystal Horton, as for millions of other Americans, today's celebration of Martin Luther King Day is very special.
Before the great clergyman and prominent leader in the African-American civil rights movement met a tragic death from an assassin's bullet in 1968, King's "I have a dream" speech resonated across the country, setting a shining example of hope for a better world.
King was a pioneer and trailblazer, and Horton appreciates that because he lived by the courage of his convictions, the lives of so many others - in his own day and forever more - were changed for the better.

Bishop Carroll's Crystal Horton coaches her players during a recent drill. Horton is in her first season as BC's coach.
People including Horton, who is one of the first African-American coaches - if not the first - in Carroll's scholastic athletic history.
"For me, as a young black coach in this area, he paved the way for me to have a job like this, and to be accepted,'' Horton said of King. "I am living the dream that I want as a coach, and this day is a reminder of the people like Martin Luther King who have gone on before us, and who have made it possible to be where we are right now.''
Horton, 30, brought a considerable amount of coaching experience to her appointment at Carroll, which she secured last spring.
Fact Box
The Crystal Horton file
Age: 30
Current position: First year as the Bishop Carroll High School girls basketball coach
Family: Horton and her husband, Timirr, 29, are the parents of sons Nehemiah, 5, and Josiah, 2, and daughter Moriyah, 3.
Residence: Ebensburg
Coaching experience: Horton was an assistant Division I women's basketball coach under Susan Robinson Fruchtl at St. Francis University for the 2008-09 season. Before that, she was an assistant coach at Central Michigan University in 2006-07.
Education: Horton is a 2001 high school graduate of St. Michael's Academy, Austin, Texas, where she was a two-time all-state basketball player and member of three state championship-winning teams. She is a 2006 college graduate of Cedarville (Ohio) University with a degree in sports management.
A native of Texas who attended college in Ohio, Horton has Division I women's basketball coaching experience as an assistant coach at Central Michigan University and St. Francis University on her resume.
Horton was an assistant coach under Susan Robinson Fruchtl at St. Francis in the 2008-09 season. She lives in Ebensburg with her husband, Timirr, 29, who is a chef, and their three young children.
"The St. Francis job was a blessing,'' Horton said. "It opened the door for me and my husband to come here. We've found a home here, and it's a good place for us to raise our family.''
Bishop Carroll has been a good place for Horton to resume her basketball coaching career.
"It's been a smooth transition,'' Horton said. "I couldn't ask for a better group of girls with whom to start my coaching career back up. They're fun, they're energetic, they're working hard, and they have a desire to get better. That's all I believe a coach can ask for in their first year.''
Greg Snyder, who was appointed as Carroll's athletic director last June and was not part of the school's athletic committee that hired Horton, admires the coach's work ethic.
"Crystal is hard-working, and she's dedicated to the program and the kids,'' Snyder said. "She's taking all the right steps in her first year with the program, and trying to better the kids who play for her at the same time.''
The Bishop Carroll girls basketball program is currently undergoing somewhat of a rebuilding process. This year's team is 4-8 through 12 games, including an 0-6 record in Section I of the Laurel Highlands Athletic Conference.
But junior shooting guard Haley Krug likes playing for Horton, and appreciates that the coach cares for her players as people.
"I really like playing for her,'' Krug said. "Our record hasn't been great, but I think that she's going to help us develop into a good program. She really helps us as people, too. She takes care of us on and off the court. I respect her a lot. She treats us like family.''
That includes Timirr Horton's preparation of pre-game meals for the squad at Carroll home games.
"I love his cooking,'' Krug said. "He's a great cook, and it's nice to be with your team for meals before the game. We all eat meals together at the top of the gymnasium.''
Among Timirr Horton's specialties are traditional pasta, baked chicken and a variety of soups.
"He's a chef in the Torvian Dining Hall at St. Francis University, and he's currently enrolled in the culinary program at Penn Highlands [Community College] main campus in Johnstown,'' Crystal Horton said of her husband. "He loves being a chef, and his goal is to someday open his own restaurant. He gets to prepare pre-game meals for the team, and they love it. They're eating gourmet meals, and it's been fun for the players to have that bonding time before the games.''
Horton and her assistant coaches, Jamie Boyles and Gabby Gueguen, are committed to the Carroll players, and they command a solid commitment in return.
"We're trying to instill in the players that when they step on the court, whether in a practice or in a game, that they give their all,'' Horton said. "We're demanding a level of excellence that includes taking care of all the little things as well as all the big things.
"These players are very coachable. I love what I do, and I came in with a lot of excitement and energy. And I think they've responded.''
Horton knows that there is still much work to be done, however. Carroll - once a perennial girls state basketball powerhouse - had no starters returning this year from last year's 8-15 team.
"It is a question of getting the kids into the right mind set and celebrating small victories,'' Horton said. "We're always the underdogs right now. We're trying to create a positive atmosphere, and we're trying to restore what Bishop Carroll basketball used to be about.''

PHOENIX RECORD: Won the spring race after leading 122 laps. It was his second win at the one-mile track.
LOOKING AHEAD: Edwards said the team is heading to Phoenix "expecting to win this race and we know we can do it. We have good notes to go off of and a good place to start. I don't know if it is purely momentum but a good run like that (the first race at Phoenix) makes it easier to know what you have to do to have a good car and if we can just go out there and repeat all of that stuff, then we will be alright."
LOOKING BACK: After winning the pole and leading on six different occasions for 38 laps, Edwards felt Sunday was going to be a very good day. But he suffered engine failure on lap 187 of the 334-lap event to end the day in 37th place. "We don't usually have a lot of engine trouble," said Edwards. "We had such a great weekend going. The car, during the middle part of the race we were struggling but we were starting to get it worked out. It's just a disappointing way to end what had been a really good weekend."
ETC.: Edwards wants to end the season on a high note by winning the last two races of the season. "There is nothing we are not bringing to the race track equipment wise, effort wise and we are coming to win," said Edwards. "For us it is really about gearing up for next season. I never believed in momentum but you guys (the media) have proved me wrong. I guess what I am saying is we would really like to, no matter what the points situation, to finish the season strong because I feel it will help us get started next season."
39 RYAN NEWMAN, Chevrolet
Team: Stewart-Haas Racing
WHERE HE STANDS: 12th, 118 points out of first place.
PHOENIX RECORD: Five top-five finishes in the last seven races including a win.
LOOKING AHEAD: Newman said he "likes Phoenix. I like the race track, it's challenging. It's a place I've raced for the last 17 years. I've got quite a lot of experience at Phoenix. I've raced a lot of laps there. It's a challenging race track, and for that reason, it's a lot of fun. It's unique and totally different on both ends of the race track, so it's almost like two race tracks in one. It's definitely a driver's race track. The driver really has to drive and hustle the car a little bit and still be smooth. It's those aspects that make the track a lot of fun to me."
LOOKING BACK: Newman rallied in the final 100 laps to finish ninth at Texas. "It was a long day," said Newman. "It certainly didn't come easy. There wasn't much that we didn't try to change. We fought with the handling of our Outback Steakhouse Chevy all day, but Matt (Borland, crew chief) and the team worked on it every stop and it got better. We just couldn't get it to where I needed it to be. But in spite of how much we struggled today, to finish ninth was good. We'll certainly take that after the day we had."
ETC.: Newman's first race with Borland as his crew chief came at Phoenix in November 2000. "We qualified 10th and we ended up having a windshield tear-off cover up the grill and melt the engine down," said Newman. "Then we found out after the race that my brake pedal wasn't returning all the way, so it was cooking my brakes. We had a whole bunch of car problems but it was a good experience. To qualify tenth in my first Cup start was awesome. Then I backed it up the next time (at Phoenix) by winning the pole in my third Cup race, so we proved we were no fluke."
5 KASEY KAHNE, Chevrolet
Team: Hendrick Motorsports
WHERE HE STANDS: 13th, 133 points out of first place.
PHOENIX RECORD: One win and six top-10 finishes in 18 starts. In the last two November races, has finished fourth and first.
LOOKING AHEAD: Kahne said he is "hoping to carry the momentum (from Texas) to Phoenix this weekend and end our season on a strong note. We've been real good the last two fall races at Phoenix so we are hoping to continue that trend this weekend. We want to finish the year strong."
LOOKING BACK: Kahne was all smiles after finishing fifth at Texas, only his second top-10 finish in the Chase for the Championship. "We had a pretty good Time Warner Cable Chevy," said Kahne. "We were seventh to 10th most of the race, and worked our way to fifth there at the end. We kept working on it. It's been awhile since we've run up front so it feels pretty good. I'm glad we were able to have a flawless race, race all day and make a little ground at the end."
ETC.: Kahne admits "we definitely have had a tough Chase. I felt like at Martinsville we had a great car, and at some of the other ones too. Just have not been able to put it all together. Whether it was luck, or mistakes or whatever it's been. We still have a really solid team and great cars each week. If we could win at Phoenix or Homestead, it would make the winter a little bit easier. We tested at Homestead and had a great test so we feel good about there too."

So said a defiant Phil Robertson on Sunday, speaking to a Bible study group at his hometown church in West Monroe, La., and making his first public statements since being suspended by A&E for his controversial remarks to GQ about gays and African-Americans.
But the Duck Dynasty patriarch's latest remarks could have people quacking all over again.
"I love all men and women," said the camouflage-clad Robertson, who granted the Daily Mail exclusive access to his Bible study talk. "I am a lover of humanity, not a hater."
Robertson, 67, addressed the small class at White's Ferry Road Church for 45 minutes, defending his positions and quoting from the Bible days after likening homosexuality to bestiality and claiming African-Americans were "singing and happy" pre-Civil Rights.
"We murder each other, and we steal from one another, sex and immorality goes ballistic," he said. "All the diseases that just so happened to follow sexual mischief … boy there are some microbes running around now."
He continued: "Sexual sins are numerous and many. I have a few myself. So what is your safest course of action? If you're a man, find yourself a woman, marry them and keep your sex right there."
"Common sense says we are not going to procreate the human race unless we have a man and a woman," he told the class.
Robertson said that over the last 2000 years, "the sins are the same" and "humans haven't changed."
"We get high, we get drunk, we get laid, we steal and kill," he stated. "Has this changed at all from the time God burnt up whole cities because their every thought was evil?"
Robertson urged homosexuals to turn to Jesus, saying, "Jesus will take sins away, if you're a homosexual he'll take it away, if you're an adulterer, if you're a liar, what's the difference? If we lose our morality, we lose our country."
Robertson also defended his own intelligence, saying, "I am not uneducated. I have a degree from Louisiana Tech. But this week I have been called an ignoramus."
Show to RemainEntertainment Weekly reported Sunday that A&E intends to keep Robertson on the air, hoping the furor will die down over the holidays, and that footage featuring the family elder will remain intact when new episodes begin airing on Jan. 15.
After his class, Robertson joined his congregation for a church service led by his eldest son, Pastor Alan, and even tried to make light of all the controversy.
"Well, we've had quite a quiet week, shot some ducks, done some shopping, ignited a national controversy."

LC-MS Gains Favor Due To the...
Protein-protein interactions are integral to a wide range of biological processes, including hormone, neurotransmitter or drug binding, antigen recognition, and enzyme-substrate interactions. Fundamental to each of these interactions is the recognition by a ligand of a unique binding surface where it binds in a defined way to carry out its function.
Through an understanding of these specific interactions it may be possible to design or discover analogous ligands with altered binding properties and, therefore, to intervene in the biochemical pathway in a highly specific manner. Thus, it is extremely important to delineate the structural characteristics of the bound species in order to develop a model of the binding interaction.
Once one or more protein-protein interactions have been identified, it is desirable to investigate the interaction(s) in order to obtain a mechanistic understanding of the proteins at the molecular level; understand the interactions functional significance in vivo; and develop methods for specifically disrupting or perturbing the interaction in vivo.
A number of affinity-based methods have recently been established for the detection and quantification of biomolecular interactions. Methods widely used for characterization of protein-ligand interactions include immunoaffinity-analysis by ELISA and Western blot, isothermal titration calorimetry, and surface plasmon resonance. Most recently, the SAW (surface acoustic wave) biosensor has become increasingly important for the study of biomacromolecular interactions due to its high detection sensitivity in dilute solutions and ability to use crude biological samples.
The sam®5 biosensor (SAW Instruments) is a chip-based bioaffinity system for real-time, label-free detection of affinity interactions. Unlike SPR which is an optical method, SAW is based on the conversion of a high-frequency signal into a surface acoustic wave due to the inverse piezoelectric effect. The velocity of the SAW is sensitive to changes in mass loading and viscosity, causing shifts in the signal's amplitude and/or phase, which enable high-sensitivity detection, unlike most other biosensors that are equipped with a readout unit containing a microfluidic cell. Thus, interactions on the gold-coated chip surface can be observed at near-physiological conditions.
A newly developed method enables both identification and quantification of bioaffinity interactions of biopolymers and was applied for characterization of interaction between immobilized Substance P or Melittin, with Calmodulin. Melittin and Substance P were manually covalently bound to the five sensor elements of the gold Sensor Chip surface, which was prefunctionalized with a thiol-linker. Affinity binding experiments were started after changing to a physiological pH by the injection of Calmodulin. The interface used for online coupling of sam®5 with ESI-MS includes a six-port switching valve unit and reverse phase C4-microguard-column for desalting and concentration of dissociated ligand sample (Figure 1).
Melittin shows an approximately 2.5 times higher affinity binding to Calmodulin as compared with Substance P to Calmodulin. Determination of kinetic data and dissociation constants was performed by a number of Calmodulin injections with increasing concentration alternating with surface regeneration steps, and provides for both systems KD values in low nanomolar range (Figure 2).
The new method has shown to be applicable for several systems and enables the direct connection of KD analysis for in vitro biomarkers with quantitation and structural characterization by mass spectrometry. The method has also been further applied to other clinically important systems, e.g., human β-amyloid peptides (Alzheimer disease) and human α-synclein (Parkinson disease).

Make candied oranges by simmering slices in a simple syrup for the filling of this decadent treat. Roll out your dough and then line it with the oranges before you fold and trim it into pieces that are proofed, topped with slivered almonds and baked.
Discover two favorite brioche treats filled with classic French pastry cream. First, cook along with Joanne as you temper your egg yolks before adding to your milk to make to make a thick vanilla-flavored custard. Roll out your dough before adding chocolate and folding in half, or add raisins and roll into a jelly roll. Finally, cut, proof, bake and even add a sugar glaze.

Joanne shares her exclusive recipe for her famous sweet rolls as you learn how to make the rich caramel sauce that will give your rolls their "goo." Then, roll out your dough, layer on a sweet, nutty mixture, roll up and cut into buns. Proof, bake and prepare to get stuck on this treat!
"This was by far the best tutorial video I've ever seen. Everything was explained so well, It was almost like having a private baking class with Joanne Chang. ... Thank you very much."

A genre of music slowly popping up in USA in a way to combat this copy-each-other-to-be-cool mentality in the scene and emo cultures. HArdcore is what all the bands call themselves now days so this genre moves away from that and just does the crazy stuff the feel. Any idiot will call a band in this genre hardcore but they aren't they are their own thing

Summer STEM Program
We are no longer accepting applications for the 2016 Summer STEM Program.
The Albert Nerken School of Engineering at the Cooper Union has been preparing high school students to pursue undergraduate careers in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields for over 25 years.
The Summer STEM Program is an intensive, six-week experience that immerses current high school sophomores and juniors in hands-on engineering design and problem-solving, thereby placing them on the right track for careers in technological innovation. Students work closely with Cooper Union faculty at the forefront of engineering education. Projects range broadly and include robotics, digital fabrication, computer programming and app development, biomedical and genetic engineering, improved urban infrastructure, and even racecar design. Faculty and teaching assistants from the departments of civil, chemical, electrical, and mechanical engineering provide students with foundational knowledge and expert guidance to address real-world problems in their respective disciplines of expertise.
ŌĆ£This is a rare opportunity for students to explore emerging technologies while also developing their oral and written technical communication skills -- a true crash-course for future engineering students.ŌĆØ
- Professor George Delagrammatikas
Students also attend workshops on oral presentation skills, technical writing, career counseling, and college admissions. They are given access to Cooper UnionŌĆÖs library resources, computer facilities, and laboratories to perform their research, design, analysis, and prototyping. Typically, projects include at least one field trip to a local museum, exhibition, or gallery to enhance the studentsŌĆÖ experience. This program culminates with each group submitting a technical paper summarizing their research and presenting their work to an audience of invited guests. To recognize their successful completion of the program students will receive a certificate of achievement from the Albert Nerken School of Engineering.
Program History and Goals: The Summer STEM Program, an expanded version of what was formerly known as the Summer Research Internship Program, builds on that legacy by broadening the access of an invaluable summer experience to more students than ever before. As part of that legacy, financial aid will be made available, up to 100% of the cost, for students who either meet criteria of need or who are otherwise underrepresented in the STEM fields. We therefore encourage all students to apply for this enriching educational opportunity.
Program Period: Tuesday, July 5 through Thursday, August 11.
Daily Schedule: Monday through Thursday 9:30 am to 3:30 pm
2016 Tuition & Fees: $3,100 and a non-refundable $50 application fee. Financial aid (up to 100%, including application fee) available to those who qualify. If the application fee is prohibitive, have your guidance counselor contact us so that we can discuss a waiver (firstname.lastname@example.com ). Please make sure that you start (but do not submit) your application online before this discussion happens.
Transportation: At the discretion of the Metropolitan Transit Authority, students may receive Metrocards to cover transportation costs.
This program is open to current high school sophomores or juniors spending the summer in the Greater NYC area. Students must be sophomores or juniors during the period in which they apply (rising juniors and seniors in the summer they attend the program). Admission to the program is selective. We are looking for high-achieving students who have a passion for the STEM fields. These characteristics should be apparent in their transcript, personal essay, and letter of recommendation from a teacher in the STEM fields or a guidance counselor. Grades are not the only criteria for admission. We are looking for hard-working, creative students for whom this program would be transformative in their educational careers.
Note: Acceptance or rejection to the Cooper Union Summer STEM Program does not affect entrance to Cooper UnionŌĆÖs undergraduate program.

LEETONIA - A proposed expansion of Pennex Aluminum's extrusion plant in the village is expected to nearly double the workforce at the facility.
According to a company news release issued Wednesday, the $33 million expansion will result in the creation of 65 new jobs. The facility currently employs 75.
"This expansion involves advanced technology that will provide unique capabilities to serve our customers. The Leetonia facility is state of the art, with a highly motivated and productive team of people. We are excited for our employees and the community, as the expansion will bring new jobs and opportunities," said Pennex President Dave Riebe in a news release.
Pennex specializes in recycling industrial aluminum to create finished products and as such is one of the world's largest companies in terms of supplying, processing and purchasing non-ferrous metals.
The Pennex facility's 92,000 square feet will increase to 170,000 square feet when the expansion is completed later this year. The expansion will accommodate a new state-of-the-art extrusion press line and specialized fabrication production center.
"This significant investment reflects our unwavering commitment to serve our long-term customers and prospective customers," said Pennex CEO Rick Merluzzi.
The Pennex facility on state Route 344 is located in the 120-acre Leetonia Trade Park which is operated by the Columbiana County Port Authority. Pennex purchased the property in 2010 from General Extrusions, which acquired it from the port authority in the 2000s when the company relocated from Mahoning County.
Port Authority CEO Tracy Drake was obviously pleased with the expansion, saying it represents one of the largest manufacturing expansions undertaken in the county in years as well as the creation of what he described as 65 "family wage" jobs.
"The port authority has invested approximately $5 million to build the trade park and this expansion shows that our investment is paying off," he said.
Drake said the fact the Pennex expansion is unrelated to oil and gas development underway in the region "will help diversify Columbiana County's economy for the long term."
The news of the expansion first became public in early December, when Pennex received a six-year, 45 percent state tax credit. The additional jobs are expected to increase annual payroll by $2.3 million, which would translate to $35,000 more in village income tax revenue for Leetonia.
The port authority is also helping with the project by exploring whether any portions of the expansion, such as equipment constructed in other countries, would be eligible for tax reductions available through the trade park's status as a Foreign Trade Zone.

quote: Management universally operates on the principle of not spending a penny today even it will cost them a dollar next week.
quote: The stated "fixes" appear to be more like band-aids than fixes.
quote: I can only hope that behind the scenes there's people at work on the real fix, one that addresses the root cause(s).
quote: How is it that an intersection often doesn't get a traffic signal until there's an accident there? Because there are millions of intersections and it would be financially impossible to put signal at every one of them.
quote: By this analogy, the original 787 battery design, which had:3. Inadequate fire and smoke containment and venting
quote: As for the battery itself, two kinds of insulation were added: an electrical insulator and a thermal insulator, which will wrap around/below each battery cell to keep them away from each other and the battery case.
quote: To be fair, if you look at pics of the battery which caught fire, the battery is destroyed but the external case appears pristine. So apparently it had adequate fire and smoke containment (not so sure about the venting). In that respect there was no danger to the plane.
quote: The problem was the batteries weren't supposed to catch fire in the first place, but they had two incidents within the first few months of service. Which led to a reassessment of the fire risk, forcing a redesign which assumed a higher frequency of fire. So now they're adding things like isolating different cells from each other so a fire doesn't spread as easily between cells.
quote: Boeing didn't make the battery though. They got screwed by the supplier, obviously.
quote: As a battery engineer who regularly tests battery systems, this is complete onus at Boeing.
quote: They believed this is partially due to Boeing deciding to outsource so many of their components and not thoroughly testing the system integration of it.
quote: It is not completely the suppliers fault, but a large part of it is Boeing's management who decided to cut the amount of testing time available.

Celebrity Central / Top 25 Celebs
Lauren Conrad
- 1986
Welcome, Lauren
Conrad is the oldest child of architect Jim and Kathy's three children. The family lives in prominent Laguna Beach, Calif. In the sixth grade, Conrad realizes that she wants to work in fashion. "I think that I get bored easily with things," Conrad tells USA Today in 2006, "and I love that it's always changing."
- 2004
MTV Films Laguna's Kids
MTV approaches Conrad and a group of friends to document their senior year. The show, Laguna Beach: The Real Orange County, premieres in September 2004 as a counterpart to Fox's teen drama The OC with Mischa Barton and Rachel Bilson. "It really was presented to us like a documentary," Conrad tells USA Today. "Nobody thought it was going to blow up like it did...definitely a different way to grow up." The MTV reality series turns Conrad, Kristin Cavallari and Stephen Colletti into stars.
- 2005
Returning for More
After a semester studying fashion at San Francisco's Academy of Art University, Conrad returns for another season of Laguna Beach. She transfers to the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising in L.A. With Conrad getting less screen time, Cavallari becomes the show's center and the second season averages 3.2 million viewers. For the third season, a whole new cast comes on board, including Conrad's younger sister Breanna.
Lauren & Jason: Loving the Bad Boy
Conrad makes Laguna Beach bad boy Jason Wahler, her main squeeze. "All of my boyfriends are trouble," she tells PEOPLE. In August 2006, the pair call it quits. "Breaking up with Jason was the hardest thing I've ever done," she tells CosmoGirl! in March 2007. "I still wanted to be with him but I knew that I couldn't be."
Head to The Hills
MTV develops a spinoff with Conrad featuring her move to L.A. as she studies fashion and interns at Teen Vogue (from left, fellow intern Whitney Port, Conrad's best friend Heidi Montag and future roommate Audrina Patridge costar). Creator Adam Divello tells USA Today why Conrad was chosen: "I think she proved that she is 'every girl'...She has ambition – not to just go off and be a celebrity."
- 2006
The Hills Premieres
"On Laguna the girls would fight with their boyfriends," Conrad, 20, tells PEOPLE. "Now we fight with our bosses. The drama on this show is real problems, like, [am I] going to get fired." Divello echoes Conrad, "It's really about the next stage in life, when you leave high school and leave home for the first time. It's about Lauren trying to make a career in fashion. And that in itself is exciting."
Teen Dream
When Conrad lands the June/July cover of Teen Vogue, she makes publishing history as the first intern to become a cover girl. "I felt like I should be steaming clothes and stuff," she tells TV Guide. A few months later at the 2006 Teen Choice Awards, Conrad wins Choice Female Reality Star for The Hills, beating out Laguna nemesis Kristin Cavallari and Paris Hilton.
Briefly Brody
Conrad flirts with Nicole Richie's ex-boyfriend, Brody Jenner, and the two share a short romance. Conrad tells PEOPLE she was never serious with the Hollywood playboy. "He's a cool guy. We hung out a couple of times. But I went into it telling him – I was like, 'I don't want to date you.' Oh, he doesn't want a girlfriend either!"
- 2007
A Second Dose
The Hills returns for a second season but this time it's not just about work and boys. The show follows Conrad after her breakup with Wahler, and two of her closest friendships are on the rocks. The drama scores in the ratings with the second season outperforming the first by 9 percent. The Hills becomes the most-watched program in its time slot among 12 to 24 year-olds. That same month, Conrad makes a cameo in the comedic satire Epic Movie.
Marking Her Spot with Teens
After landing the covers of Seventeen and CosmoGirl!, Conrad proves she's a draw for teenage girls. She inks a deal as the latest face for Avon's youth cosmetics brand, mark. With the deal, Conrad collaborates with beauty and fashion campaigns slated for the fall, while working on her own fashion line.

|Serous Borderline Tumor with Micropapillary Features (MSBT): Figures 7-11. Serous borderline tumors containing micropapillary growth in an area measuring greater than 5mm are classified as MSBT. Note the contrast between serous borderline tumor at the top of Figure 7 and extensive micropapillary growth at the bottom. More proliferative examples, Figures 8-9, show long, slender micropapillae surrounding large fibrovascular cores without hierarchical branching. Figure 10 shows both micropapillary and cribriform growth patterns. The cytologic grade of MSBTs should not exceed grade 2 of 3; Figure 11 illustrates a MSBT with cytologic atypia at the high end of the spectrum permitted for this diagnosis. Submitted by Robert A.
