Green Bay followed up its regular-season title with three of five possible Horizon League postseason awards.
Junior Keifer Sykes was voted as Horizona Player of the Year, Alec Brown as deDefensive Player of the Year and Brian Wardle as Coach of the Year.
Sykes, named to the league's first-team squad again this year, averaged 20.4 points and 5.0 assists per game. Brown, a senior, is three blocks shy of tying the league's record for career blocks, set at 309. He averaged 15.8 points and 5.8 rebounds per game for Green Bay, which finished the regular season 14-2 in conference play and 24-5 overall.
Sykes, Brown and co. earned a bye into the semifinals of the conference tournament. They'll play Saturday, March 8.

I currently work for a company that is moving to an AIX platform for a

overseas, ftp access. The environment doesn't exist yet, just doing
some homework :)
My question is, once I get the Active Directory authentication
working , will ftpd utilise the Active Directory mechanism to
authenticate users trying to ftp?
Or...Since authenticated users will have secure shell access would it
be best to have them transfer files via sftp?
I am new to integrating within a Microsoft ruled environment, so I may

A New Element Added to the Periodic TablePosted Monday, October 6, 2008, at 11:47 AM
A friend emailed me the following and I am posting it here. I personally cannot vouch for the validity of the subatomic observations, but, it does seem plausible.
"Research has led to the discovery of the heaviest element yet known to science. The new element, Governmentium (Gv), has one neutron, 25 assistant neutrons, 88 deputy neutrons, and 198 assistant deputy neutrons, giving it an atomic mass of 312.
These 312 particles are held together by forces called morons, which are surrounded by vast quantities of lepton-like particles called peons. Since Governmentium has no electrons, it is inert; however, it can be detected, because it impedes every reaction with which it comes into contact.
A minute amount of Governmentium can cause a reaction that would normally take less than a second to take from four days to four years to complete. Governmentium has a normal half-life of 2-6 years; it does not decay, but instead undergoes a reorganization in which a portion of the assistant neutrons and deputy neutrons exchange places. In fact, Governmentium's mass will actually increase over time, since each reorganization will cause more morons to become neutrons, forming isodopes.
This characteristic of moron promotion leads some scientists to believe that Governmentium is formed whenever morons reach a critical concentration. This hypothetical quantity is referred to as critical morass. When catalyzed with money, Governmentium becomes Administratium, an element that radiates just as much energy as Governmentium since it has half as many peons but twice as many morons."

Governmentium by democracy is preferable to totalitarianism or anarchy, even if morons are sometimes elected.................... all we peons can do is vote and try to inject some negatively charged electrons to energize the neutrons...................... But positively charged protons are critical to counteract all the negativity and neutrality..................

A New Element Added to the Periodic Table
The Sky is falling


text:
This study was designed to test the results of Valsalva's maneuver and limb compression against the standing-cuff inflation-deflation method for the detection of venous valvular reflux.
The study was conducted in 67 patients (134 extremities) who had an episode of deep vein thrombosis. An ultrasonic duplex scanner was used to evaluate two methods of testing for reflux. The most commonly used methods are Valsalva's maneuver and limb compression, both of which can raise the venous pressure and promote reflux. With the cuff method, the patient is studied in the standing position. The cuffs are segmentally placed (thigh to foot) with reflux encouraged when the inflated cuff is suddenly deflated.
The patients were a part of a long-term natural history study of acute deep vein thrombosis and its effects on venous valve function.
Outcome Measures:
Valvular reflux was documented by the appearance of retrograde flow in the vein when the normal transvalvular pressure gradient was reversed.
Both limb compression and Valsalva's maneuver can elicit reflux, but the maneuvers are difficult to standardize and come up with meaningful results. With the cuff inflation-deflation method, the time to valve closure was less than 0.5 seconds in 95% of normal subjects. The results were easier to quantify and worked well for all segments of the venous systems—superficial and deep.
The cuff inflation-deflation method provides more uniform quantifiable results for detecting reflux in the superficial and deep veins of the leg.(Arch Surg. 1994;129:701-705)

Notes from Linked In: Obesity Rates Expected to Double
By Marcus Samuelsson | December 5, 2012
This article was first posted on LinkedIn on December 3, 2012.
A friend forwarded me a link to this slide show (it's at the bottom of the page) and it was startling. Created by the Center for Disease Control, it simply shows the changes to the geography of U.S. Obesity from 1985 until 2010. As you sit and watch, this simple set of maps starts from nearly all blue and just gets redder and redder, effectively and dramatically showing the yearly increase of American wastelines. While we've all heard the phrase "Obesity Epidemic" being thrown around, this visual really hit home for me how recently and dramatically this excessive weight gain has happened in our nation.
To put this information in number form: In 1990, according to the CDC, no state surveyed had an obesity rate of more than 15%; by 2009, only two states, Colorado and the District of Columbia (not a state, but still) had obesity rates of less than 20%. Furthermore, according to the Trust for America's Health, by 2030 obesity rates in states like Mississippi could be as much as 67%. 67%! That's 2 out of every 3 people that are not just overweight, but obese. And it's not just American adults being affected. Childhood obesity is up; global obesity rates are skyrocketing (2.3 billion overweight people by 2015); even animals living close to humans are getting heavier. And it's not necessarily the weight that is the issue but rather the chronic diseases associated with this type of lifestyle that are costing billions of dollars and millions of lives.
With all this frightening data, what can we do about it? As a chef, I think an effective individual step is simply taking a few extra minutes each day to think critically about what we are putting in our bodies. "Healthy" food can be both incredibly nourishing and delicious; we just need to take the time to make sure what we eat fits both of these criteria, whether it's through cooking at home or simply choosing a more wholesome item on the menu.
Perhaps this is too simplistic, and of course there are many other factors to consider when battling obesity, (genetics, activity level, socioeconomic issues, etc), but it's amazing how far a little purposeful thought can take you.
What do you think? How can we combat obesity and ensure future generations lead healthier lives?

High Poverty, High Achievement in Hong Kong
Marc Tucker details a recent visit to a school in a high-poverty Hong Kong neighborhood and asks: Could such a success story happen in the United States?
Marc Tucker details a recent visit to a school in a high-poverty Hong Kong neighborhood and asks: Could such a success story happen in the United States?
In this blog, Marc Tucker responds to two critics of his earlier blog on the question of whether annual testing helps or hurts poor and minority children.
Why are civil rights groups fighting so hard for annual accountability testing when there is no evidence that it helps poor and minority students?
In the search for answers and understanding in the wake of the death of Freddie Gray and the resulting riots, how can educators and school leaders foster hope and give students in challenged communities a better future?
Marc Tucker explains how housing segregation leads to school segregation and calls for reforming our school finance system.
In order to meet the demands of our workforce, the United States must build a strong vocational education and training system and provide students who want to pursue this path with much stronger academic skills then they currently have now.
How to balance the federal government's interest in making sure that federal education funds are well spent with the states' interest in retaining their constitutional right to enact their own education policies.
A call for changing the culture of schools so that teachers are accountable to their professional colleagues and have more time during school hours to collaborate.
Marc Tucker explains that there is no evidence that test-based accountability, for schools or for teachers, actually improves student achievement.
Marc Tucker explains that while China's policies regarding migrant students are problematic, these are slowly being changed. In the meantime, Shanghai's education system still has much to teach the rest of the world.

Church Unity - John Francis - 21-10-2009
With the recent talks between the Roman Catholic Church and the Russian Orthodox Archbishop concerning reunification and the welcoming of "concerned"Anglicans into communion with the Catholic Church what are your views /opinions/observations.
Is there possibility of other Orthodox Churches joining together with the Catholic church-Not subservient but as equals .All in full communion with each other?
Could this be at last the start of Christian Churches Being
"one Lord, one faith, one baptism; one God and Father of all,"
Or is this me being too optimistic and simple.
In God's love

- Severus - 22-10-2009
For a reaction to Pope Benedict's initiative, have a look at my recent posting in the General Conversation folder.
- Antony-Paul - 25-10-2009
I find myself in something of a dilemma here. As a Christian I am hurt and diminished by the divisions that exist within Christianity. Clearly the objective has to be the joining together of all God's people in His love.
And yet, the very existence of differences suggests there are factors that keep us apart. My own experience is one of examining such matters in my own life. As a 'cradle Catholic' I have spent 66 years trying to be true to my upbringing. But recent years have seen me struggling with various aspects of the Roman church that have given me major difficulties. Now I have been studying Orthodoxy (specifically the BOC) and finding that it meets my needs on the issues I have been upset by. Thus I am close to making a committment to the BOC and thereby severing my lifelong links to Rome.
Examining these matters over recent months has brought me to discern a distinction between unification of churches and unity in Christ. This has removed the sense of guilt and betrayal I have struggled with recently, easing my path into Orthodoxy. Furthermore, I have to consider the possibility that my searching has been a direct result of God's influence. I have placed myself in His service and allowed myself to be directed by Him as much as I can perceive His voice in my heart.
This means, nevertheless, that I have identified differences of view - things which keep us apart - and this means I am contributing to precisely the opposite of the aim of unity as commonly defined.
I have begun to rationalise this by considering myself a Christian first and foremost. (I actually came to this view many years ago.) I see this as more significant than which particular brand of Christianity is my spiritual home. I have no difficulty embracing Christians of other denominations - I see them all as my brothers and sisters in Our Lord. Thus while I can accept Orthodoxy as the true faith, that is the right place for me to be, I accept that others are 'different' Christians in good faith. This allows me to overcome my feelings of dilemma.
But where would all this take me if the BOC was to somehow move to Rome en bloc, thereby negating all my heartsearching?
I feel that redefining 'unity' can help to overcome the problem, without making me change either my difficulties with Rome or watering down what I see as the strengths of Orthodoxy.
I've probably said enough! Clearly I need some help with this (I am getting it from my priest, but any input will always be useful).
Please pray for me as I approach the point of making my committment.
church unity - kirk yacoub - 18-11-2009
Yes, it can be a dilemma, apparently uniting when there are so many serious differences. However, I doubt that, at the moment, there can be a merger of Roman Catholicism and Orthodoxy. I am a member of the Syriac Orthodox Church and for the past 25 years we have enjoyed a very close relationship with Rome, enabling us to commune each other and offer each other pastoral care. Yet this has not meant that differences have been put aside. We Orthodox still believe in the equality of Bishops, not the primacy of the Pope; we have not incorporated the filioque in the Creed etc etc. What is happening is that two Churches are trying to act as closely together as possible, believing that common prayer and worship will lead to us becoming worthy of the Holy Spirit's giudance in how to overcome our differences.
Yes, Christ is One, the Church is One, and we sinful human beings can only pray and act according to Christ's commandments in pursuit in a public union that is truly of His Divine Will.
Kirk Yacoub
- Antony-Paul - 19-11-2009
Thank you Kirk for your thoughts.
I have been most fortunate to have Father Simon as my priest, and he has confirmed the position as far as the BOC is concerned. The views of Abba Seraphim have been most comforting as well. I am no longer troubled by this issue. Indeed, I have had the joyful experience of admission to the Catechumenate last week, and so I am now moving forward in Orthodoxy.
With love and prayers,
In peace,

Dear Tony,
Welcome to Orthodoxy. My prayers are with you.

RE: Church Unity - Peter Cvek - 23-06-2012
Dear Brothers in Christ,
My name is Peter Cvek and I also am on the verge of finding my spiritual home in Orthodoxy. For many years I have struggled with the same questions and dilemnas as Tony has, excepting from a Protestant as well as Roman Catholic perspective, since being raised as a Communist I had not the benefit of a religious upbringing, and upon my conversion began to search through both... I would find it difficult to join, however, an Orthodox Church that would seek equality, let alone subservience, with the pretenses of Rome and its Papacy.. I can accept the Liturgy of Saint James and Saint Mark as of Apostolic origin and blessed indeed, but how can we partake of a liturgy in the Roman Church which is largely the work of Thomas Aquinas, and his wayward doctrines on Transsubstantiation, which certainly are and were not the original Orthodox teaching on the Sacrament of the Lord's Supper? How can we accept as equal, if Orthodox, a denomination that regards its Inquisition arm ( to this day) as a Holy Office? How can we accept as equal the blasphemous claims of the Papacy to Montanistic Infallibility, and to Indulgences? The last of the Orthodox Bishops of Rome, Bishop Hippolytus @ 200 AD, was ousted by the heretical Bishop Callistus to his rightful claim on the throne of Rome... The Popes since Callistus have in the main continued his legacy.. Are we asked to cast all genuine reason and historical discernment out the door if we join Orthodoxy simply for the sake of a worldly tolerance of matters that Christ never intended to be tolerated, or some vague " peace", which Christ did not come to give for, as He says, His peace is one that " passes all understanding" and " not of this world"? Dear brothers,the martyrs of old died for a point of doctrine that they knew would breed future heresy and apostasy.. The blood of martyrs stains Roman hands to this day.. What indeed do we do?... Must we compass land and sea, like Rome, in search of one proselyte and then make them twice the child of Hades as herself? Are sincere seekers, such as Tony and myself, being merely asked to move our capital from Rome to Byzantium, yet keep the same emperor's clothes and political agenda? I truly do not desire to be contentious.. I seek the same answers as Tony does, and as millions of other potential Orthodox converts do... I love the truth enough not to merely use it as a mask for tolerance of things that ought never to be tolerated.. It is still worth dying for... What must be done, brothers, if we be true not to man's inventions, but to the Lord.... Peter Cvek, Australia...
RE: Church Unity - DanielM - 25-06-2012
Peter, as mentioned previously in is post, these issues would all need to be addressed pre-reunion.
Tha matters of Roman Practice would certainly be addressed with regards to their doctrines but other matters would probably be left to Roman discression to be seen as a local practice. With regards to Liturgicl practice, key elements and prayers in the Roman liturgy come from the St James and much of it I recognise from our own practice. Even within Orthodoxy many elements in Liturgy have been adapted so we can admit Apostolic and Patristic origins in our Liturgies but not to use a completely Ancient Liturgy.
Either way, union between Rome and the East is looking unlikely for the time being so yu can hold your breath.
RE: Church Unity - sansan1 - 12-11-2012
Usually prioritize items which are from God. Mainly because what you have now is often a blessing from Him.

Landry-Walker Coach Brian Gibson knew his team's already tough schedule this season would pay off.
It did Wednesday. The Charging Buccaneers earned a 60-51 win over a streaking East Jefferson squad in front of a crowded home gym.
Senior guard Tyree Griffin had a game-high 19 points, including two of his four fourth-quarter free throws with 1:28 left in the game. Curtiss Anderson fouled out of the game when Griffin, who made 12-of-15 free throws, went to the line.
"They were in a 1-2-2 zone," said Griffin, who played in front of "a lot" college coaches. "Coach just said to dominate the zone and get in between."
He did.
"I wasn't expecting it," added Griffin, an UTEP commitment. "Especially against the zone and with the two big men."
The game was tied at 43 entering the final eight minutes. Landry-Walker (17-3) benefited with big junior center Wilton Breaux back in the lineup. He missed all of the Allstate National Prep Classic with illness. Corey Wells (10 points) and Terrell Gilmore (12 points) provided their biggest spark in the first half.
"It was a big team win," Gibson said. "Our bigs battled because they have excellent big-men play.
"Griffin also is a four-year starter, and he understands when he has to exert himself a little more. That was definitely needed today. We were able to get some picks for him, and he was able to penetrate. We were the better team tonight."
East Jefferson Coach Ryan Dicharry said the Warriors (14-3) have to play better defense. East Jefferson still has six games before it opens district play. Landry-Walker opens district against Karr on Jan. 24.
"We had a real hard time staying in front of (Griffin)," Dicharry said. "He was able to get us off the dribble whether we were in man or zone. He was able to get to the rim and make contact.
"We have a long way to go. We learned to play an excellent team on the road we got to be a lot more prepared handling the ball, rebounding and do a much better job in the defensive end."
Both teams found a rhythm early. Landry-Walker started on a 5-1 run then East Jefferson went on an 11-0 run.
Landry-Walker responded with its own 11-0 run to end the first quarter. That turned into an 18-0 run, which gave the Bucs a 29-21 halftime lead. Shaquille Preston led East Jefferson with 18 points, including 10 points in the third quarter. He was the only East Jefferson player in double digits.
"We played a good first half," Griffin said. "We locked up the big men."
Landry-Walker will see more size Friday when it meets the reigning Class B state champions Madison Prep.

"We know that deteriorating water quality is a significant factor contributing to the decline of the smallmouth bass population in portions of these rivers and we continue to work with other state agencies and conservation groups on the issue," said PFBC Executive Director John Arway. "But at the same time, we can protect the existing bass population by reducing angling pressure on them."
The final regulations approved today have been in place since January 1 under a temporary order issued by Executive Director Arway. They apply to approximately 32 miles of the Juniata River, from the State Route 75 Bridge at Port Royal in Juniata County downstream to the mouth of the river at Duncannon, Perry County. On the Susquehanna, the regulations cover 98 miles, from the inflatable dam near Sunbury in Northumberland County downstream to the Holtwood Dam in York County.
Under the proposed rulemaking approved today, harvesting or attempting to harvest bass on the designated river segments and portions of tributaries would be prohibited during the spring spawn, from the first Saturday after April 11 until the first Saturday after June 11. During the remainder of the year, catch-and-immediate-release regulations would apply to anglers and a catch-measure-immediate-release format would apply to tournaments.
The proposed rulemaking also would extend catch-and-immediate-release regulations into the tributaries to a point one-half mile upstream. If approved under a final rulemaking order, the proposed regulations would take effect Jan. 1, 2012.
In other formal action today, Commissioners approved:
Also, Commissioners postponed until May 24 a formal vote on a proposal to add 99 new waters to the list of wild trout streams. The postponement will allow the Fisheries Committee additional time to consider the matter and make a recommendation to the full board.
A copy of the agenda can be found on the Commission's web site at www.fishandboat.com/minutes.htm.
The mission of the Fish and Boat Commission is to protect, conserve, and enhance the Commonwealth's aquatic resources and provide fishing and boating opportunities. For more information about fishing and boating in Pennsylvania, please visit our website at www.fishandboat.com.

It most certainly is. But I feel as if we're finally in a position to where we could pull off a blockbuster like that without regretting it. We'd get two young players who are more ready to make an impact now, while Z and Pavel are still dominant, and they're still young enough to be key players in future too. It's admittedly a farfetched idea... but I can't help but fantasize about how great our lineup would look with those two in it.

Longwood police chief: 'I will never let you down'
Chief Hickson under FDLE investigation
Longwood Police Chief Troy Hickson spoke out Monday night as investigators continue to look into one of his cases.
The Florida Department of Law Enforcement is looking into Hickson because he is accused of improperly involving himself with a misdemeanor marijuana possession case involving the son of a former commissioner.
Commissioners gave a ceremonial vote of confidence for the chief on Monday.

An El Salvadoran man was sentenced to 40 years in prison Wednesday.
Marvin Aguilar-Lopez, 26, was sentenced for his armed robbery and felony murder conviction. He will be deported after he completes his prison sentence.
He and two others were indicted in Oct. 2009 and charged with robbery, felony murder and firearms offenses. The nine-count indictment stemmed from an armed robbery of a Denny's Restaurant in northwest Albuquerque, and a murder of a female cook at that restaurant.
Aguilar-Lopez entered guilty pleas to Counts 3 and 4 of the second superseding indictment charging him with the armed robbery and the felony murder.

The full report is titled "Treatment of Chronic Rhinosinusitis With Nasal Polyposis With Oral Steroids Followed by Topical Steroids. A Randomized Trial." It is in the 1 March 2011 issue of Annals of Internal Medicine (volume 154, pages 293-302). The authors are S. Vaidyanathan, M. Barnes, P. Williamson, P. Hopkinson, P.T. Donnan, and B. Lipworth.
Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is a common medical condition in which inflammation of the lining of the nose and sinuses (airspaces in the skull) causes poor drainage of fluids from the sinuses, leading to nasal congestion, pressure, and pain in the face. In some patients, repeated episodes of inflammation (for example, due to infections or allergies) cause the lining of the sinuses to swell with fluid and protrude as polyps, which may result in more inflammation and further impair drainage.
Nasal steroid sprays are widely used to attempt to reduce inflammation and treat CRS; however, their effectiveness might be reduced if polyps block the spray from adequately reaching inflamed areas. Although some physicians try to first open the sinuses with a short course of steroid pills so that subsequent steroid sprays can work better, it is unclear whether this strategy is effective.
60 adults who were referred to ear, nose, and throat specialists by their primary physician for evaluation and treatment of CRS. The ear, nose, and throat specialists confirmed that CRS with nasal polyposis was present.
The participants were randomly assigned to receive either steroid or placebo pills by mouth for an initial 2 weeks. After that, both groups received steroid drops and then steroid spray for a total of 26 weeks. The researchers measured the size of the polyps in the participants' noses before and after treatment and asked them to complete questionnaires about their symptoms (such as their sense of smell).
Over the course of the 28-week study, participants who started out receiving the steroid pills had greater shrinkage of their nasal polyps than those who received placebo pills. In addition, those who received the steroid pills had greater improvement in their sense of smell. No problematic side effects were seen.
The participants were evaluated by specially trained ear, nose, and throat physicians who were expert in recognizing nasal polyps. Not all patients with CRS have nasal polyps. Whether the treatment used in this study would be beneficial (or harmful) in patients who have not been evaluated by specialist physicians, or who do not have nasal polyps, is unknown.
Some patients who have CRS with nasal polyposis might benefit from initial treatment with steroid pills.

Dancing fountains, rare rhododendrons, white stags and shadows of famous philosophers: gardening journalist and author Fionnuala Fallon picks six of Ireland's prettiest garden walks.
Garden overview: Featuring ornate terraces, dancing fountains, a flower-filled walled garden and panoramic views of the Wicklow Mountains.
Added intrigue: This historic garden is frequently used as a location for Hollywood movies and TV-series such as Far and Away, King Arthur, The Tudors and Camelot. Recently voted third in a list of the world's top 10 gardens compiled by National Geographic, explore its beautiful wooded valley where you'll find the Pepperpot Tower, modeled on a pepper-pot from Lord Powerscourt's dining table.
See or do nearby: Visit the spectacular Powerscourt Waterfall or hike part of the 127 km (79 miles) Wicklow Way.
Garden overview: Founded in 1795 by members of the (Royal) Dublin Society, the 'Bots' is at the heart of Ireland's horticulture history.

Visit the newly refurbished Clotsworthy House and the Garden Heritage Exhibition where you can discover more about the history of the gardens and the story of the Masereene family dynasty. Then head for the ancient motte, whose timber castle was once the centre of an Anglo-Norman manor. Admire the flower-filled terrace gardens, stroll along the peaceful lime avenues and visit the newly created formal parterres laid out in the style of the late seventeenth century. Along the way, watch out for the centuries-old stone statue of a wolfhound, the formal garden pond and the gardens' long canals. Legend has it that on the 31st of May of each year, a ghostly coach pulled by four ghostly horses descends into the murky waters. Finish off, with a leafy woodland walk to the shores of Lough Neagh.
See or do nearby: Go canoeing along Lough Neagh canoe trail, Northern Ireland's largest inland lake with a shoreline of over 90 miles.

In a state where hot-springs skinny dipping and strip-club flesh ogling are de rigueur, can an art exhibition about naked bodies pique, tweak or shock anyone? Not really, as it turns out. But Froelick Gallery nonetheless deserves props for giving it a go in its juried group show, Undressing Room. The 56 artists on view utilize the nude form in diverse, if seldom groundbreaking, ways.
Some of the tactics are arbitrary. Painter Rick Bartow and sculptor Lisa Kaser basically use the same sort of imagery they employ in their non-nude work, except for the handy addition of a penis. Gregory Grenon, who normally paints clothed women, removes the clothes to expose boobs, bush, and tan lines. Other artists aim for whimsy but achieve mere cutesiness, as in Heidi Preuss Grew's mascotlike sculptures, Valerie Wallace's print of a nude George Washington and John Opie's portrait of a nude woman vacuuming.
But "cutesy" is far from "hot," and while nudes are not required to arouse, any show with this much skin ought to throw viewers a few more bones. Yes, it's difficult to truly titillate in the era of ubiquitous porn, but it's not impossible; contemporary artists such as Bill Henson, Nan Goldin, Shen Wei and Takashi Murakami know how to darken the nude's overexposure with tinges of psychological danger. But Undressing Room includes only a few works that are genuinely, disturbingly erotic. One is James Rexroad's shadowy ode to clit-fingering, Untitled (Secret Girlfriends), and another is Leiv Fagereng's pagan celebration of armpits and erections, Deseo.
A few works transcend eros to make a point about the fragility of the mortal coil, celebrating bodies that differ from those in fashion magazines and blockbuster films. In a self-portrait, Sam Roloff, who was born with diastrophic dwarfism and walks with crutches, shows off his body, adorned with nothing but eyeglasses. Photographer Jim Riswold, assisted by fellow photographer Ray Gordon, bares his scars, bandages, bruises and catheterized penis in Riswold's Owies (Without Pants), a testament to the ravages of leukemia, lung disease and prostate cancer. A well-known advertising executive for Wieden+Kennedy before he became an artist, Riswold remains one of the savviest self-promoters in the Northwest, so at first it's difficult to separate the courageousness of his body-positive exhibitionism from the borderline unseemliness of a marketeer turning medical problems into artistic fodder. But clearly—visibly, poignantly— Riswold has earned the right to exploit his own body. In a show that all too often errs on the side of caution, Riswold's mélange of self-confidence and devastation is unexpectedly shocking and more than a little sexy.
SEE IT: Undressing Room is at Froelick Gallery, 714 NW Davis St., 222-1142. Through July 13.

y undergraduate experience at Utica College prepared me tremendously for dental school. I did very well on my DATs, and I was accepted into every dental school I applied to. When I got my class list, I was intimidated. All of my classmates were coming from more prestigious or bigger university settings. When I got to dental school I was as prepared if not better prepared than they were. There were even a lot of courses that I took that they didn't."

Got Puss?
It brings a tear to my eye that bandick reigns supreme*, and google still loves us best.
*I did just post an appendix oozing puss status update last April, but this one is almost four years to the date of the first. That's a long time to hold the title…plus, the more times I write appendix oozing puss, the more I cement my #1 status.
**This has sort of turned into a chicken and egg conundrum, because now the #1 appendix oozing puss status on google links to the January 14, 2005 post. But this was the original post that prompted the meteoric rise to fame. Please note that appendix and oozing puss aren't actually used in the same symptom, but I can't even BEGIN to tell you how many people find this site using the "appendix oozing puss" search string. How do you know that your appendix is oozing puss? See what I'm doing? That's just gross, man.
How excited are we…?
I had been saving my good thoughts for the new boy but I'm totally willing to divert them to the yorkie pud'!

1.Person who thinks they're better than everyone else, except within their clique of friends. Most often a stuck up person is also really fake, they are also extremely conceited.
1. You drop your papers on the floor. A nice person will help you to pick them up or at least ask if you need any help. A stuck up person will just walk past you. They might glance to see what happened.
2. A stuck up person won't acknowledge your presence, even if they know you. Unless for some unfortunate reason you happen to be good friends with one.

A prayer vigil was held Thursday night on the Penn State campus for a cheerleader from Louisville who fell five stories out of an apartment window.
As that was happening, Paige Raque's family said they are encouraged how the 19-year-old responded to a drug to stimulate brain activity.
Family spokesman Randy Jepson said doctors were hopeful after Paige stirred and opened her eyes a few times Thursday, even though she's still in a coma and in critical condition.
Her brother is captain of the men's gymnastics team coached by Jepson.
Police have said Raque fell through a screen during a party at an off-campus apartment building Saturday night.
So far, they said it appears to be an accident.

Douglas Gautraud had the feeling he was wasting his life, so he dug into the lives of his grandfathers to see how they lived. What he found convicted him about a life that seemingly had nothing to show for it, and inspired him to pursue real experiences. But his mother has the surprising last word in this offbeat and colorful short film.

Dee Rockwell lost a championship basketball game Thursday night, but she gained something more important — a family.
Adopted at age 4 by Dan and Cindi Rockwell, the Lower Dauphin High School junior met two of her biological family members for the first time after the Falcons' 48-38 loss to Trinity in the Mid-Penn Conference title game.
Dee's grandmother, Bernice Williams, and sister, Yamina Oliver, came from Philadelphia after first making contact with the Rockwells via Facebook.
And the tears flowed.
"It's surreal," Dee said. "I don't know whether to laugh or cry or even write everything down. It's great."
The Rockwells adopted Dee out of foster care in a closed process, which left the family with no way of knowing anything about Dee's biological family.
However, Williams had been keeping track of Dee's accomplishments via Google searches. She reached out to Cindi Rockwell through Facebook and called Dee for the first time on Feb. 11.
Dee has other siblings around the country who she has never met. Having reached out to Dee, Williams now has found all of them.

Conservatives Denounce 'Anti-God' Human Rights Ordinance in Jacksonville
Remember gay-demon-exorcist, Halloween-candy-foe and NAR Apostle Kimberly Daniels? The preacher was elected to the Jacksonville City Council last year despite her claims that "the Jews own everything," Haiti's 2010 earthquake was divine punishment and that President Obama is tied to the illuminati. As Jacksonville weighs passing an anti-discrimination ordinance strongly opposed by the Religious Right due to its protections for sexual orientation and gender identity, the freshman councilwoman said that proponents of the ordinance have "discriminated against" her and are "anti-God":
Councilwoman Kimberly Daniels, who is also a local pastor, took a point of personal privilege to address how some individuals laughed at her and made comments at the May 22 meeting.
"I am a believer; I am a Christian," Daniels said. "Religion is a protected class. What I experienced last Tuesday night, it was not pro gay; it was anti God."
"My family is being harassed; my life is being threatened," Daniels continued. "I have experienced so much hate from the homosexual community…I don't care who sleeps with who… I love America…I would like not to be discriminated against, too."
John Stemberger of the Florida Family Policy Council is organizing the opposition to the bill, warning that "this artificial, social construct called gay" is "new" and "dangerous":
"We have basically exposed this piece of legislation for what it is," Stemberger said following a June 5 hearing. "And that is an infringement upon religious liberties, the Constitution, and rights of association."
Stemberger put the issue into a larger context.
"Same-sex attraction has always been with us since the beginning of time. That's nothing new. … What is new, and what is dangerous and what we oppose, is this artificial, social construct called gay," Stemberger said. "It's in your face; it's shoving down your throat; and it's intimidation. It's not just, 'let's be left alone and let's just have rights.' It's now forcing everyone else to agree—by the force of law and lawsuits with money damages. That's what we oppose."

Hampshire fold to Aces
Click here for all the latest news from the domestic cricket scene, including exclusive interviews, team news, match reports and photo galleries
Hampshire's hopes of reaching the Champions League competition proper ended with a comprehensive eight-wicket defeat against Auckland Aces.
Dimitri Mascarenhas' side needed to emerge victorious today to have any chance of qualifying from a three-team group that also includes Sialkot Stallions, who were beaten by the Aces yesterday.
However, the Royals lost a crucial toss and were asked to bat on what was initially an extremely difficult surface.
Azhar Mahmood capitalised on the helpful conditions by claiming 5-24 as the Royals were restricted to 121 for eight despite Michael Carberry's run-a-ball 65.
That total proved insufficient, with Martin Guptill striking 38 and Azhar an unbeaten 55 to steer Auckland to a comfortable success on an improving pitch.
The result means Hampshire's next match, against Sialkot tomorrow, is inconsequential with Auckland having already secured the place in the next phase.
Hampshire made a flying start as Carberry cut Kyle Mills for six second ball before James Vince grabbed a maximum by driving Azhar over long-on.
Vince fell attempting to repeat the trick as Andre Adams took a comfortable catch at mid-on, after which Azhar also got rid of Jimmy Adams and Shahid Afridi.
Glenn Maxwell and Sean Ervine duly fell, and Azhar completed his five-wicket haul by having Liam Dawson and Mascarenhas caught at extra-cover and deep point respectively.
Amid wickets tumbling, Carberry was batting without fluency but showing patience and capitalising on anything short
Having rode his luck, he eventually fell to a stunning piece of fielding as Lou Vincent, having initially come in too far, ran back at long-off and took an excellent one-handed catch.
Vincent got Auckland off to a flier in reply, while Guptill showed his form with two glorious sixes off Kabir Ali and Chris Wood.
That paved the way for Azhar, who - having starred with the ball - struck four sixes, including one into the SuperSport Park pool, and five fours to see Auckland into the next phase.

- Glue Gun
- Felt scraps
- Scissors and/or Rotary cutter
- Alligator clips
- Anything else you wish to embellish with
- Take some felt in the color of your choice. You'll need a long piece, approximately 30cm, maybe less.
- Cut a thin strip. Use a ruler and rotary cutter so it is even, or use scissors. This is what you'll use to wrap your clip.
- Starting from the bottom inner part of the clip, add a small dab of hot glue and press it on.
- Wrap it around the bottom prong, adding the glue where needed.
- Wrap around ends. When you get the top prong, open the clip while you glue so you don't get the glue all over the top felted prong.
- Trim up the felt once you've glued the last part on.
- Once that's done,trim the sides with scissors, just to thin it out a bit so you don't have too much bulk.
- Draw out a quick egg shape on some pink felt.
- Cut out small strips of purple and blue for the stripes on the egg.
- Glue them where you want. Trim the ends.
- Glue the egg onto the clip.

By Andrea Sutherland (Fort Carson)November 15, 2012
FORT CARSON, Colo. -- Paige Lanier arrived at the Special Events Center early, Monday. The former Army officer dressed up for the occasion -- gray slacks, a blue blazer and his Veterans of Foreign Wars cap. With him, he brought a bag full of silver-colored coins with the VFW emblem on one side and the words "Welcome Home" on the other.
"I left the service 40 years ago," said Lanier. "I enjoy coming out and seeing the troops."
Monday's welcome home ceremony for troops from 4th Brigade Combat Team, 4th Infantry Division, held special significance for Lanier. The Soldiers arrived one day after Veterans Day, a time when many in the nation honor members of the military for their service and sacrifice.
"I always celebrate Veterans Day," said Lanier, who retired from the Army as a captain, serving with 2nd Battalion, 77th Field Artillery Regiment, in Vietnam.
One of 12 children, Lanier and five of his brothers served in the military, fighting in World War II, Korea and Vietnam. His uncle fought in World War I.
"I have family who served going back to the Civil War," he said.
It is that long history of service that Lanier credits with his desire to reach out to returning troops.
"It's important because nobody welcomed us home," he said.
Lanier said that is the reason he and other VFW representatives make a point of attending every welcome home ceremony and greeting every returning servicemember.
"We don't want to see these guys come home to an empty house," he said.
Robert Czosnyka, a retired Air Force staff sergeant, echoed Lanier's sentiments.
"I want to tell them, 'Welcome back,'" he said. "Job well done."
Czosnyka joined the Air Force after serving in the Army. He fought in the Vietnam War.
"Nobody was there to greet me," he said. "I was just by myself. That's how it was."
"All of us should take responsibility to welcome home Soldiers," said Gloria Otwell, department conductress for the VFW Ladies Auxiliary. "In the past, when Soldiers haven't been welcomed home, it takes them years to recover and some never recover."
Otwell said her husband and brother are both veterans.
"My brother served in Vietnam," she said. "He returned feeling like nobody cared."
Otwell has served as an auxiliary member of the VFW for seven years, seeing her work as her contribution to supporting the troops. Her husband served in one of the first units to enter Iraq during Operation Iraqi Freedom.
"He was the first to go, so he was the first to come home," she said. "The first welcome home was nothing like this. We stood around in a cold, damp hangar. This is so fantastic."
As the Soldiers from 4th BCT, 4th Inf. Div., filed into the Special Events Center, the veterans cheered and applauded alongside hundreds of Family members.
After the returning Soldiers greeted loved ones, Otwell and Lanier shook every Soldier's hand, pressing a welcome home coin into their palm.
"They've earned that respect from us," Lanier said. "In a way, this is healing for us."
