Years of hard work, and a lot of studying, paid off for dozens of graduating medical students across the county.
You can just imagine the anticipation and nerves, as ETSU Quillen College of Medicine students opened up their "match" letters Friday, to find out where they will be going for residency training.
The East Tennessee State University Rural Primary Care Track (RPCT) is a 4-year community-based experiential curriculum whose core goals emphasize community, rural culture, interdisciplinary team interactions and leadership development. Rural Medicine is at the very heart of the mission of the Quillen College of Medicine at East Tennessee State University.
The Quillen COM is ranked 8th in the nation for excellence in rural medicine education by U.S. News & World Report in its "America's Best Graduate Schools" 2015 edition. For several consecutive years, ETSU has been ranked among the top 10 schools in the country for rural medicine. U.S. News also ranked ETSU in the top 25% of medical schools for primary care education. The National Rural Health Association this year bestowed the "Outstanding Rural Health Program of the Year" award upon the Community Partnerships for Health Professions Education Program at ETSU.

White-nose syndrome, named for a distinctive fungal growth around the muzzles and on the wings of hibernating bats, was first identified in Vermont caves in 2008. The poorly understood disease has been associated with the death of millions of North American bats. As of 2013 five of Vermont's six cave dwelling bat species are listed as either State endangered, threatened or Federally endangered. Each spring biologists capture bats to learn more about their habitat needs as well as keeping tabs on the health of the existing population.

Iceland Inflation Holds at 5.4% in June as Interest Rates Rise
Iceland's annual inflation rate was unchanged this month after the island's central bank raised interest rates.
Inflation was 5.4 percent in June, Reykjavik-based Statistics Iceland said today on its website. Consumer prices rose 0.5 percent in the month, the office said.
The central bank this month raised its benchmark rate by quarter of a percentage point to 5.75 percent, the fifth increase since August to steer Iceland's recovery and ensure a stable krona as capital controls are unwound. The bank targets 2.5 percent inflation.
"Raising interest rates in May and again now, in June, has withdrawn some of that accommodation, as is appropriate in view of the recovery of the real economy and the deteriorating inflation outlook," the central bank said in a June 13 statement. "As the recovery continues and spare capacity disappears, it is necessary that the monetary policy slack should disappear as well."
The currency has slipped about 3 percent against the dollar this year and strengthened 0.8 percent against the euro. It plummeted as much as 80 percent in the offshore market against the single currency following the island's economic collapse in 2008.
The government in March closed a loophole in the island's capital controls it said had allowed short-term investors to speculate on the krona. Iceland's $13 billion economy will expand 3.1 percent this year, the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development said May 22.
"We anticipate that inflation will continue to subside in the near term, assuming, of course, that the krona doesn't depreciate," Ingolfur Bender, head of research at Islandsbanki hf, said in a note prior to the release. "Our forecast is based on the assumption that the krona will continue its seasonal fluctuation pattern but will appreciate overall in coming quarters. If it fluctuates in line with the conventional pattern, it will appreciate until the fall, with the impact making itself felt through the winter."

text: papal conclave Argentine Jorge Bergoglio elected Pope Francis By The Associated Press • Mar 13, 2013 Gregorio Borgia / Associated Press Jorge Bergiglio of Argentina was elected pope Wednesday and chose the name Francis, becoming the first pontiff from the Americas and the first from outside Europe in more than a millennium. Looking stunned, Francis shyly waved to the crowd of tens of thousands of people who gathered in St. Peter's Square, marveling that the cardinals needed to look to "the end of the earth" to find a bishop of Rome. The Smoke Is Black: No Pope After Cardinals' First Vote By Mark Memmott • Mar 12, 2013 Update at 2:43 p.m. ET. No Pope Today: Black smoke just poured from the chimney above the Vatican. That means, as was expected, the cardinals did not choose a pope on the first vote of their conclave to name a successor to the now-retired Pope Benedict XVI. As the cardinals' ballots are burned, NPR's Sylvia Poggioli says, chemicals are added to a fire in a second stove to turn the smoke black if there's no pope elected and white if there is. A rough guide to what will happen at tomorrow's papal conclave By Philip Reeves • Mar 11, 2013 The stage is now set for the opening act of one of the more spectacular and intriguing theatrical dramas on the planet: the election of a pope. In Rome, TV camera crews have set up their positions on big platforms overlooking St. Peter's Square and the Vatican, where the secretive process will begin Tuesday.

For 30 minutes Saturday night at the Farm Show Complex's Equine Arena, it looked like two words that described that Harrisburg Stampede's season to date, lackluster and disappointing, would be out of the evening's dictionary.
Two Eugene Goodman touchdown runs coupled with a Brian Harris TD pass and a Steve Link field goal to end the first half gave Harrisburg a 22-21 at the break over a Trenton Steel team that appeared to still be resting from their bye last week.
But loss number 10 was no different for the Stampede (2-10); good start be damned, the Stampede would find a way to stop scoring, stop holding defensively, and as a direct result, stop themselves from winning.
It happened swiftly. E.J Nemeth, the leader of the SIFL's best offense and the most productive quarterback in the league led Trenton (8-4) on three consecutive scoring drives in the third quarter, and opened the fourth quarter by scoring one final TD pass, mercifully drawing the Stampede's season to a close with a 52-22 loss to the Steel.
"We played a decent first half, but obviously would have liked to see a lot more offensive production," coach Josh Resignalo said.
"And our quarterback play was just terrible in the second half. That didn't help matters at all."
Harris threw a total of six interceptions, five in the second half, that fueled the Trenton fire.
It started just under eight minutes in to the second half, as Nemeth hooked up with Oderick Tuner, who finished with a game-high 107 yards and 2 TDs, for a 23 yard pitch and catch that put Trenton up for good 28-21.
By the end of the third quarter, Nemeth added touchdown passes to Daniel Huff and Antonie Rivera of 31 and 12 yards respectively, and when Turner hauled in touchdown number 2, a 42 yard bomb with 12:49 to play in the contest, it was just gravy for the Steel, who will travel to Georgia next week to play the Columbus Lions in the opening round of the SIFL play-offs.
"Trenton is a really good coached team, and they have one of the best quarterbacks in the league," said defensive coordinator Archie Smith.
"We have a lot we need to sure up in the off-season, and it starts with personnel," Resignalo said.
However, with co-owner John Morris recently acquiring the Fayetteville Speed, he was in Fayetteville for this evening's match-up between the Speed and Columbus Lions, there is a sense of doubt that Harrisburg will have an indoor franchise next season.
If there is one, Smith says one of the team's biggest goals will be to avenge this season's struggles.
"We have to come out next season and show people we aren't the team that we looked like this season. We are much better than that, and I think we'll show it next spring."

I very much prefer to just watch games at home, instead of going to the games. I don't have to shell out a hundred bucks for parking, overpriced crap beer, etc. Instead I can sit at home with my friends and enjoy great food that only cost what the ingredients cost, good beer, not have to deal with assholes, actually be comfortable, etc.
Oh, and to the person bitching about the people who complain about how the seats are too small, well they are. I am your average tall guy and I am not fat, but I could barely fit in the seats. They are made for shorter/skinny people. Its like the people who say the people complaining about the seats on planes are just fat whales, when in reality if you are over 6'2", there is no way you can comfortably sit in a coach seat. Thats just facts.

It wouldn't? Guys like Kaleta (nice to meet him tonight without an enforcer...), Cooke, Torres and other over the line rats would have a field day with younger and star players because they won't have to answer to qualityguys like Orr, McGrattan, MacIntyre, McLaren, Engelland or Thornton or Scott.
Like I said if people hate fighting that much, there are other sports to watch..Yes hitting is part of the game and that's why this stupid front-office and the department for players safety has been to remove it from the game, with ridiculous rules.

Like I said, I'm not sure exactly how I feel about fighting being taken out of the game, but the more it gets talked about the more I see there's not a lot of strong arguments to support it. And I'm kind of hoping someone will make one. Because overall I like fighting in hockey. But think of the guys you just mentioned.
Cooke and Torres have a long history of cheapshotting players. All while fighting is still a part of the game. It's apparently not an effective enough deterrent for either one of them to stop cheapshotting. What finally got to Cooke's attention was a 17 game suspension from the league. The league's suspensions clearly haven't gotten Torres' attention yet, but neither has any enforcer.

You dont have to imagine.
Perry went after Datsyuk. Because Datsyuk answered the bell, Perry took it easy on him and they ended up both unhurt. Datsyuk didnt slash or spear. He just showed Perry he would go if he had to. After Perry realized that, he let up out of respect and just jossled with Pavs. Cool, and code compliant by both players.

Perry, while bigger than Datsyuk, is hardly a comparison to John Scott dropping the gloves on a faceoff to go after Kessel in a preseason game.
Perry is not a very good fighter for starters, while Scott is a straightup goon. Perry is also a top line player squaring off with another top line player. And it was still a bush league move when he went after Dats.
There is no earthly reason why Kessel should've dropped the gloves with Scott there.

I figured I'd create this thread for the benefit of those of who could not see the game. Apologies to the mods if this belongs in the GDT.
First off: the Pens' broadcast team was atrocious. Paul Steigerwald couldn't even remember the names of some of his own team's players---Olli Jokinen plays for the Penguins in his world---and botched the pronunciation of others; apparently the Wings have a player named Agleketer. Meanwhile, Bob Errey couldn't even properly recall his own time with the Red Wings; he reminisced about how the Wings racked up 62 wins only to suffer a heartbreaking loss to the Devils. Needless to say, the two of them were also biased in typically inveterate fashion; they are collectively known rightly as one of the most homerish duos in the league. To their minor credit, they did lavish some praise on certain Red Wings.
General impressions: the PK was very good; the PP was not so great, but then there were a lot of rookies playing on it; after the Wings scored their fourth goal, the top line didn't see much playtime even when Crosby was on the ice, Babcock instead opting to give the youngsters more time on the ice. Generally a good effort; the first period went the way of the Penguins, but the Wings dominated the 2nd and 3rd frames.
Now to the players:
Abdelkader: Meh. He battled in the corners and did some dirty work in the crease, but his biggest contribution was making little Sid unhappy. The two were jawing at each other all game. Aside from this, Abdelkader was not particularly noticeable; then again, the top line got less and less time as the time went on---particularly after the Wings went up 4-1---and so he really didn't get much time to show anything.
Almquist: Wow. Though small and not particularly good on defense, this guy's offensive instincts and hockey IQ are as high as advertised. On both of his goals, he picked the correct time to shoot the puck and picked the correct place to shoot it. If he does as well in the AHL, it'll be silly to let him go (he'll be out of minor league options); if so, he might get Quincey's spot after this season.
Andersson: Good enough. His skating has improved, and he plays as hard as we've become accustomed to. Unfortunately, at even strength he was handcuffed by his association with Cleary and Samuelsson. He did well enough on the PK.
Cleary: Sad. He was totally unremarkable. I can only hope that he was simply not trying, because his play on the PK appeared totally lackadaisical. If that's the case, then this was an extremely poor showing after what the management went through for him to maintain his spot on the team. I don't recall him being used on the power play. He might have been there. I don't remember.
Datsyuk: Typically brilliant, though he was not trying very hard; this was, needless to say, not really a big deal given that this is the preseason and he is an established superstar. That said, he stickhandled wonderfully, defended ably, and scored a beautiful goal. Some of the Pens' prospects seemed spellbound by his play.
DeKeyser: Excellent. He was functionally the Wings' #1 defenseman, playing excellently on defense and ably on offense; indeed, he ended up on a breakway at one point and the Pens had to haul him down to stop him (sadly, there was no penalty shot). He did well with Kindl, and was substantially better than either Smith or Quincey.
Evans: Steady but unspectacular. He's an AHL-caliber defenseman.
Ferraro: Impressive, if not flashy. While small, he's feisty, hard on the puck, and full of effort. He's got a right-handed shot---rare for the Red Wings---and has decent offensive instincts. He certainly seems to be better than Emmerton. Look for him to replace the latter next season.
Glendening: A basic grinder. Good on the PK, good speed, good effort, but ultimately unremarkable. While he performed decently in his first NHL game, he doesn't appear to be anything special. He'll be a decent call-up option in a pinch, but he's got to improve if he's going to have any sort of career in the big league.
Howard: Very good. He made some good saves while being bombarded by the Penguins early on, and let in only one goal on 16 or so shots in the first two periods.
Jarnkrok: Clearly unready for NHL action. This was his first NHL action, but he's currently too small and too inexperienced to really make an impact of any kind. This was his first NHL action. That's natural, as he doesn't even have any AHL experience yet.
Kind: Very nice. He seems to have made significant progress in his two notable problem areas: defense and confidence. He laid down a nice hit, too. As with DeKeyser, he played substantially better than Quincey or Smith. Look for he and DeKeyser to make up the 2nd pairing this season.
Mantha: Like Jarnkrok, he's simply not ready. He looked alright in his first few shifts, and then disappeared. It was obvious that he was dying to take some shots, but right now he just doesn't have the experience to find the sweet spots in the offensive zone yet, and he was easily shut down by the Penguins.
Mrazek: Steady. Barring a catastrophe, he'll be with the Wings in 2014-2015 (obviously).
Quincey: Not very good. He did a passable---but only passable---job on defense and took a few shots, all of which missed the net.
Samuelsson: Gah. He was terrible on the power play and invisible at even strength. Babcock seems to have agreed with this assessment, as Samuelsson's playtime in the 2nd and 3rd periods decreased while that of the other bottom-sixers increased.
Smith: Worrisome. He showed no improvement over last season. Unfortunately, he was also paired with Quincey yet again. Not good.
Tatar: Quite good. He drove to the net to score the first goal of the game, and throughout the game exhibited his excellent stickhandling skills and willingness to go to the tough areas. Steigerwald and Errey seemed certain that he'll be on the roster this season.
Tootoo: Invisible. He was simply an unnecessary piece of the roster, though admittedly he did not receive much playtime and is probably aware that barring a miracle, he won't be on the roster in three weeks regardless of what he does.
Zetterberg: Good enough, though, like Datsyuk, he was obviously not putting forth maximum effort. As with Datsyuk, this was not a big deal.

The NHL hates goalies just excellent making the second toughest job on the team - goons having the toughest - even more complicated.
Want to bring back excitment to the NHL? Allow hitting, hip checks and other stuff again instead of trying to force more offense.

disagree 100%. goalie gear grew exponentially in the last 20 years. its just shameful how big the gear is. it has to be reigned in. and part of the problem is that they always talk about it but change very little. so there is this impression that they have been taking away all this real estate from goalies and it ends up being like half an inch or something not even worthwhile. then add to that that the goalies often just replace it with other pads to compensate, and its just a circle. in the article it already mentions that many goalies are trying to make the knee pads larger to compensate for lost inches. until goalies stop looking like the michelan man out there, they have no room to say anything.
i also think you are way off on allowing more hitting making the game more exciting. all you have to do is go back 10-15 years to the dead puck era. there was far less regulation on physical play. yet did you see more hits, more excitement? no way. you saw more clutching, more grabbing, more bear hugging. it was terrible.
nhl hockey has a fundemental flaw right now that prevents it from being as exciting as it should be. teams, coaches and organizations focus not on scoring more goals than the other team, but giving up less goals than the other team. and no i dont think thats just semantics. teams constantly play a style which is to not give up scoring chances at any cost. even if that means not taking any chances offensively. why? because its become too hard to score a goal, so teams are afraid to give one up. if you make goalies human again, then you will see scoring increase, which will change the entire dynamic of the game.

You know what? I'm glad he did it. Him and Lou too.
We lost a full season so that the league could get a cap and all of the stupid rules that went with it.
Then when Holland figured a way around it and signed Z to a long-term deal, I was worried that Z might have issues with his back, and everyone reassured me that it was ok because if Z retired, it would come off the books.
Those were the rules that Z signed the contract under. Retire and your team is off the hook.
Then we get another lockout, miss another half of a season, and all of a sudden... "OOPSIES! We don't like how people figured out how to get around that. We're going to change the rules. Now if the guy retires before the end, there's a penalty. So what if we're changing the rules in the middle of the game? We're the league and if you don't let us do this, we won't let you play hockey."
I can see them changing the rules for future contracts, but they have now changed the rules for existing ones. When teams and players sign contracts, they abide by the rules set by the league. If they find a loophole, we admire them for it. If you don't believe me, go back and find the thread where Z was signed. Kenny was a genius to the point of being a saint on this board.
Lou and Kovy played by the old rules and got the carpet yanked out from under them. Instead of crying over the lack of carpet, they went with linoleum. Good for them.
The league stuck out their tongue, and Lou and Kovy flipped them off. I feel some satisfaction knowing that Bettman is probably sitting in his office throwing a Rumplstiltskin-like tantrum yelling, "Curses! Foiled again!'

Good God, they really offered him that much? Letang has "Brian Campbell" written all over him (remember that Blackhawk's contract?). Or maybe "Sergei Gonchar", for a more familiar, Pens-centric reference.
Top-level offensive performance from defenseman really is a fleeting thing in the NHL. It's as much a product of your system as it is the skill of the defenseman, and it can be gone in a heartbeat. Just look at Jay Bouwmeester, or any number of Florida or Nashville defensemen (Andy Delmore?) that were 20 goal scorers once and never again. True shut down defenders are rare, but that is a commodity that carries over from year to year.
Yes, Letang is a skilled powerplay weapon, but he also plays with Crosby and Malkin. Even more than the money, I really wouldn't want Letang on my team if you had to pay him and play him as a #1 defenseman. He's been involved in way too many 5-4 games where the defense was a complete mess, and that could never have happened as consistently as it did if he were an elite defender along the likes of Chara, Keith, Weber, etc.

5.5, 7-8 years, no thanks he had ONE season worth that. Where does he get off trying to bully the organization that picked him 95th overall and took the time and money to develop him into a top 6 player? He should be content with signing a 1-2 year deal with the wings for 3.5-4 million and prove himself then.

We would agree that $5.5 mil AAV is too much for Filppula, but in terms of Filppula's right to be a free agent or demand whatever he wants, I think you're off-base.
You're saying Filppula owes it to the Wings to accept whatever low-ball offer we throw his way? That a player in the prime of his career needs to "prove" himself by taking one-year deals until he either (a) Has an outlier season where he blows up and then gets overpaid; or (b) Gets his head run into the boards and sees a serious diminution in his value and future earning potential?
Um, no. If I'm Filppula and another team offers me $10 million more (over the life of a multi-year deal) AND a higher profile role on the top lines and PP unit...and all I have to do is live somewhere else and wear a different color sweater? Yeah, I would at least consider that. Filppula is no longer the "property" of the Detroit Red Wings come July 5th - there was nothing stopping his from extending him previously if Holland wanted to lock him up on a multi-year deal.

I don't really mean much offense by this, but you are exhibiting a clear lack of understanding of all the factors at play here.
Firstly, this doesn't happen if the Players Association didn't agree to it...they did.
Secondly, if the players were to play for free and waive 100% liability of anyone involved (rink, team, league, etc.), then sure, no one would care, let the guy do what he wants. HOWEVER, that is not the case. The players are being paid very significant amounts of money, teams want to protect their investments and rightfully so. Someone might say they shouldn't care, they have insurance, but that just saves them a bit of money in the future should something happen....it doesn't give them the player back. Also, if everyone was wearing visors, I'm sure their insurance premiums would decrease.
I'm sorry, but the extreme short-sighted views that grown men should be able to decide (it's their life) annoys me to no end.

My issue is this: In recent years in all sports the head seems to have become fair game, there have been a lot studies that show such hits can cause permanent damage, even if there is little or no symptom presentation at the time of the injury. The head MUST be made off-limits, and even accidental contact should be punished to keep borderline plays out of the game. A player should do the mental calculus before a hit to make sure there is no way they hit the head, and Abdelkader could have gone an inch lower to make sure his hit was perfectly shoulder to shoulder. He didn't, he sacrificed safety trying to make a big play, even though its clear it wasn't his intent to hit the head. And that's the exact issue I have, if it comes between making a huge play and jeopardizing someone else, everyone should be trained from a young age to let up and adjust point of contact. He didn't and the Wings are suffering now because of it.
PS if you look at most head shot threads on this forum I say the same thing as I am now, I will not be a hypocrite because its a Wings player involved.

Columbus won't make it in. Not enough games vs too tough of competition.
Dallas is your only worry, but both teams have 2 games that wash (vs Van, vs LA) in terms of schedule. From this vantage point, it looks like game 48 determines who goes.

[QUOTE=Zach;1075843]Break the cycle by trying to eat intuitively, really listen to what your body wants and eat without any embarrassment or regret.[/QUOTE]
[b]Absolutely DO NOT "listen to what your body wants." [/b] At the moment Campanella has a real addiction to wheat and sugar and eating "intuitively" means to eat more wheat and sugar. Would you tell a drug addict to listen to his body and take more drugs?
900 calories is not enough -- you should be eating twice that. My suggestion is to keep binging... but binge on the good stuff. Ground beef and veggies and butter and salt. Yup, it goes against everything you've ever been told. Always have a big pile of frozen veggies with a big pat of butter ready to go into the microwave, and binge your heart out. Eat ground beef for meals. If you need something sweet, drink Deit Coke. Yes yes it's bad stuff, but it's better than binging on real sugar.

I would say whether it's water melon or sweet potatoes or donuts or French fries, any food that sends you down that slippery slope isn't going to be helpful when you are trying to become a fat burning beast.
Personally, I ate strict low carb paleo for > a year, no cheats whatsoever, before I knew it, I was a fat burning beast. By that time, fruit, cakes, donuts, chips, fries, pizza...etc had no hold on me.
Today, I can have a piece of chocolate cake and stop there because it's something I almost never do. I won't dream and fantasize about having chocolate cake the next day either.
I think developing the habit of eating right is very important. Doing whatever it takes until the habit is formed is crucial. Otherwise, you'll just keep slipping back to the bottom of the slope and having to start all over again. For me, it took a year of exercising immense will power over my temptation to eat junk.
Now I eat 1 meal a day with no desire to cheat on food quality and feel fantastic while remaining lean in my 40's, and I come from being a fat diabetic.

Our View: Erie needs better snowplowing plan
The calendar says that seven weeks remain before spring arrives at 7:02 a.m. on March 20. And we don't know whether Punxsutawney Phil will predict on Saturday that we're due for six more weeks of winter.
However, we are confident that Erie will get hit with more snow this season, starting tonight, when the forecast calls for snow squalls and accumulations of 3 to 6 inches of snow.
Motorists are justified in their complaints that the city of Erie takes too long to plow streets (even the main thoroughfares) to make them passable.
Our next storms might not rival the one that socked Erie early last week, when more than 16 inches of snow fell at Erie International Airport, but no matter how much snow piles up, residents have a right to expect good service when it comes to road maintenance. That's why we pay taxes.
We know that the city of Erie operates with a tight budget, but the mild winter of 2011-12 saved money, and the warm weather that prevailed until last week's frigid spell should have resulted in savings as well. Why weren't those savings funneled into an all-out snow removal effort last week?
We also know that weather forecasts can be wrong, but the meteorologists got it right last week, giving us ample warning that the weather would turn nasty. Mayor Joe Sinnott should have taken the lead to prepare Erie residents for emergency conditions and to give details about the city's plans to plow and treat main streets and then side roads.
But that didn't happen. In fact, we couldn't find any information on www.erie.pa.us, the city's official website, about the city's snow-removal plans. That's in contrast to Millcreek Township; its website, www.millcreektownship.com, includes a link, "Streets in winter," telling visitors that the township is divided into 17 plow routes and seven salt routes. "We are continually upgrading equipment and procedures to maintain and better the fine quality of winter maintenance that has been performed in the past years. We realize that our plows and salt trucks cannot be on every street instantly so we try and maintain the known problem areas first, and then continue in an orderly manner to remove snow and salt the streets." Millcreek operates with a plan, which is why city residents notice improved conditions when they travel from city streets onto those maintained by Millcreek.
Maybe Erie's snow-removal budget is so sparse that the policy is simply to wait for the sun to do the work that plow drivers used to perform. If that's the case, be honest and tell us so. Erie residents who use on-street parking also likely have ideas on how to improve snow removal on side streets. Listen to what they have to say.
With 49.5 inches of snow to date, we've already had more snow than snowy cities such as Syracuse, Rochester and Buffalo, N.Y. And we haven't even gotten to February, when Erie averages 18.5 inches of snow. Since Erie leads in this unofficial snow derby, we should be No. 1 in snow removal, too.

Summer Study Tour in GreeceThe Classics section hosts the course "Greek Monuments in Context" (CLC 250). Usually running from mid-May to mid-June, students in this class will travel to Greece to study archaeological sites in such places as Athens, Olympia, Korinth, and Delphi, as well taking time to visit the islands and Greek countryside. Ample time is allowed for students to pursue their own interests. The course counts for 3 credits. Those interested should contact Professor Kumpf (pictured above speaking with students during the 2010 study tour).
AthensValparaiso University hosts a new study-abroad option in Greece through the College Year in Athens program. This is an independent study-abroad program offering college-level courses in Ancient Greek Civilization. College Year in Athens enjoys an excellent reputation among North American colleges, and from all its participating institutions it enrolls about 100 students per year.
Students in good academic standing with at least 16 credits of Greek are eligible to apply. The junior year, however, is the best time for most students to leave the home campus for study abroad.
Students may choose from a variety of courses in such disciplines as Archaeology and Art, Classical Languages and Literature, History, Philosophy, Politics, and Religion. These may count towards a major or minor with the approval of the Department's Chair. Normally four courses constitute full-time study, and study is conducted in the fall semester of the academic year.

When a friend first told me she was going to Poland and would be sleeping on a strangers' couch it's hard to say who I thought was more mad – her or the person who's sofa it was; "What? For free? For no money? For Free?… She's letting you stay? Free? But how can you trust each other?" My friend was exasperated.
Over the next few days, and once she had come back from having a great time in a new city with a fantastic host, it dawned on me that rather than be a horrific idea, this could actually be something fun, exciting and groundbreaking. Maybe the idea of trusting strangers has its place.
This is just one example of how the trust economy is building online across a number of different community platforms. People are giving utter trust – of their homes, their cars, and their belongings to complete strangers. And it's strangely liberating.
Couchsurfing.org the site my friend used, allows people who are looking for a place to stay to get in touch with people who have places to stay. Easy.
It shows 92,403 users in my home town of London. That's 92,403 people prepared to share their space. In my adopted hometown of Cape Town, there are 3,295 people registered and when contemplating a mini break in Barcelona I found over 14,000 people who were willing to host me.
But Couchsurfing is more than just about looking for a place to stay – people ask for rides, others to accompany them to gigs, museums or just to hang out! What it's really about is making connections.
Airbnb.co.uk, where you rent people's spare rooms/sofas is so popular it now offers a host on nearly every street in Paris. In these cash strapped times, more and more people are making use of their space, for a bit of cash and just as importantly, for a bit of company.
Sharing is Liberating
People are sharing with strangers more and more and you can see why…
The average car, for example costs 4000 pounds to run and yet sits idle roughly 23 hours a day – so that's where car sharing companies such as Zip car and car pooling sites come in. When zip car took the keys away from 250 people, they lost an impressive 413 llbs between them from increased exercise, but more importantly nearly half didn't actually want their car keys back as they found that sharing cars was actually more liberating than ownership. It's not surprising then to find that over 30 million car rides have been shared across online communities.
Though the sites that are really striking are the ones where no money actually exchanges hands. Couchsurfing, again, or landshare.net which puts people who have a spare bit of land in touch with those who want to grow things. And I've used The Guardian flat swap site a few times myself – staying in strangers' homes in return for them staying in mine.
My favourite, however has to be Peerby, the Dutch site – which encourages people to ask their neighbours to borrow items. Their motto is 'Save money, live green and meet awesome people'. They've taken the idea of popping round to your neighbours for a cup of sugar that little bit further… Need a lawnmower? See who's got one in your area? A ladder? Or a drill (which on average is used 13 minutes in its lifespan)? The Peerby crowd can help… When you think how many of us own these items, it puts a whole new perspective on the need for us to actually own things. Reduce consumption and start sharing.
Reputation is everything
But how do you know who to trust? Well of course there are going to always be the bad eggs, but like on Ebay and other online sites, reputation is everything. People can of course, steal, cheat, lie and not return things, but the beauty of all of these communities is that they are open – users will feedback on behaviour and rate others. So any bad behaviour is quickly unmasked though if you do really want extra peace of mind, Peerby enables you to insure your items.
However, on the whole, in the new technology-enabled economy it seems that for now, people are more willing to trust each other than ever before. And if I haven't convinced you, check out what Rachel Botsman has to say about collaborative consumption.
Now, who can lend me a quiche tin? I've got a drill I can offer you.

Hello again
It sincerely has been too long. Can we pretend things never happened between us? Can we forget that I started feeling negative about blogging? Can I make this a safe place again?
I hope I can. I'll start where I left off.
So, the last post was about the writers conference back in march, I see. I made it seem like a bad experience. It really wasn't (I almost used sincerely again). I had a fun time, and the memories I have are positive ones.
I went to the Teen Writers Conference back in June. The Keynote speaker was Elana Johnson, who was at the teen author bootcamp conference thingie. She was wonderful, and she helped me see her point of view as a writer. I learned more about myself, and I had a blast. And I had a great entry, great characterization everyone said. Very proud of it.
Another highlight was my friend Amanda, who blogs at Amanda's Writings and lives a bajillion miles away, visited Utah and was able to go to the conference! And it was her first one, so extra happy that she came. We had a blast, and we both learned tons.
A second thing that happened is I finished editing Infinite Cold. The old idea that just keeps coming back? Yeah, I finished editing just in time to get ten copies of it in an offer from Createspace by finishing NaNoWriMo. While it is not a finished manuscript yet, I got the first round of edits done. That is quite an accomplishment for me. I've written three full books, but I've only ever finished editing on one officially now. I've posted all about it on my facebook, but here it is again because I love it.
I designed the cover and did the back text at about two in the morning, so I'm actually surprised that it has correct grammar and everything. As you can tell in the one of me and my book, I am absolutely thrilled. I signed the title page, I broke it in, I carry my copy with me everywhere I go. I love it. I can't wait until it's a real book.
Until then, I'll be trying to work out making the second book awesome (I really don't want second-book-syndrome. But who knows.) and editing Infinite Cold until I think it is as perfect as I know it can be.
So thank you for forgiving my lazy blogging, but it hasn't been in vain!

The cost of feeding a child in a third world country is relatively small and just fasting or skipping a meal or three can feed so many children.

One of the great privileges of leading a new startup is the ability to set its culture, initiatives and values.
We believe as entrepreneurs it is our duty to be a ninja, hack the system, challenge the status quo and kick ass. We also believe that giving is equally as important as product and marketing. This has evolved from an idea into an ideal.

While websites like Beeradvocate, Ratebeer and others (including this column via MassLive.com) have been spreading the craft beer gospel via the Internet for years, there's a new kid on the cyber-block and one you should check out.
The Brewers Association, a trade association representing the majority of U.S. brewing companies, has just launched CraftBeer.com to celebrate the ever-growing interest in craft brewers and their liquid libations. While the assocaition has long had a website for those in the beer business, the new site will serve more as a one-stop information center for consumers, providing information and community interaction for craft beer enthusiasts everywhere.
While this may seem to be reinventing the wheel to some, I think it's great to have another place where anyone can go for beer information. The more craft beer sites there are, the better the chance more people will learn about craft beer.
Julia Herz, a spokesperson for the Brewers Association, emphasized this very point in the press release announcing the launch of the website: "The site serves everyone, from the beer beginner to the budding beer enthusiast, highlighting the culture, authenticity and broad spectrum of beer from today's craft brewers," she said.
The key areas of the website include an interactive section on beer and food; an area featuring stories from brewers and the beer revolution we are now seeing; a "Beerology" section where information is provided on everything from beer and health to selecting the optimal glass for your favorite style of beer, as well as areas on
brewery tours, a style finder, a section about finding great local brews in your area and news and events page.
I know I'll be checking it out often, and so should you. (Just make sure you keep reading this column each week for a more personal touch to learning about the great world of craft beer!)
BEER NOTES--As of this writing, there were still seats available for the Avery Beer Dinner at Bottega Cucina in West Springfield. The eatery will be having two seatings at 4:30 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. on Sunday. The cost is $55 per person (gratuity not included) for four courses paired with four superb Avery beers. The menu will be a first course of Old Jubilation Ale paired with ale-infused carbonara with roasted veal tortellacci; a second course pairing Karma "Golden Belgian" Ale with honey roasted beet tartar with grilled crostini; a third course of Maharaja IPA matched with New York strip steak with beer poached egg and toast points and final course featuring Mephistopheles Imperial Stout paired with bacon-wrapped dates with a Roquefort blue cheese sauce. Call (413) 732-2500 between 11 a.m.-10 p.m. to see if there are any slots left. If there are not, you might want to ask about reserving seats for next month's beer dinner at Bottega Cucina, featuring Northcoast Brewery. The event again will have two seatings and will take place on March 18.
--Congratulations to Narragansett Beer, one of New England's oldest beer brands, who recently announced that it achieved a whopping growth of just under 60% from 2008 to 2009.

What was once a somewhat tame runway show of men and their legs has, through the years, has become a scene of performance art of sorts. The 14th annual Mr. Legs contest featured 16 contestants who pushed the boundaries of runway theatrics, but for a good reason: to benefit Bridge House/Grace House of New Orleans. Held July 19 at Generations Hall, contestants included Jason Borja, Jeff Carlson, Steve Carnes, Jeff Director, Roberto Espinoza, Partrick Fess, Russ Johnson, Philip Lawrence, Karl Lehmann, Brandon Maggiore, Blake Poole, Jonathan Porter, Ryan Schilleci, Landon Tucker, Kurt Valvis, and Michael Zarou.
Judges Jodi Borello, Kirk Coco, Bivian "Sonny" Lee III, Lauren Thom and Sheba Turk had their work cut out for them, but in the end there could only be a winner in each category: Blake Poole, "Skinniest Legs"; Jonathan Porter, "Hairiest Legs"; Jason Borja, "Best Costume"; Kurt Valvis, "Best Performance"; and emcee Laura Buchtel, "Sexiest Legs." But the title, the highest honor of them all, Mr. Legs XIV, went to Michael Zarou, who raised over $8,000 — the most any other contestant has raised (contestants are encouraged to raise money on their own to be named Mr. Legs.) Also appreciated in their Mr. Legs title contest were first runner up, Jeff Director and second runner up, Jason Borja.

MOBILE, Alabama -- The former principal at Holloway Elementary School has lost the appeal of her termination, which came about after Mobile County school officials found evidence of widespread cheating on state tests at the school.
Mobile Circuit Court Judge Charles Graddick's order, issued on Nov. 19, upheld the Mobile County school board's decision to fire Iesha Williams last summer.
"The sole reason for her recommendation for termination was because of the cheating activities which occurred at Holloway by both Williams and also by teachers under her direct supervision," the order reads.
Attempts to reach Williams were unsuccessful.
In hearings held Oct. 10-11, school resource officer Andy Gatewood described the various ways that teachers allegedly helped Holloway students on state tests in April 2012.
According to his testimony, teachers helped some of the special education students by telling them what to write in response to open-ended questions; used a dry-erase board to help them work the math problems; and used sign language or hand signals to give students the correct answers.
One teacher told Gatewood that another fifth-grade teacher at Holloway had copies of the correct answers to the third quarter end-of-quarter 2011-12 tests, and attempted to give copies of those answers to each fifth-grade teacher at the school.
The teacher also told Gatewood that while she was giving a make-up test in another teacher's classroom, she'd seen at least six sheets of copier paper "which appeared to contain handwritten answers to 'open-ended' questions on the ARMT test," Gatewood testified.
Mobile County schools Superintendent Martha Peek testified that she was very concerned about testing practices at Holloway based on Gatewood's investigation, and also based on what she learned from Christine Nassar, another school system employee who observed irregularities when she was monitoring state testing at Holloway in the spring of 2012.
According to her testimony, Peek met with Williams on two occasions to discuss the allegations of test cheating before recommending the principal's termination to the school board.
Reginald Wilson, principal at Booker T. Washington Middle School, which is part of Holloway's school feeder pattern, testified that some of the Holloway students, especially special education students, weren't prepared for middle school and struggled academically at Washington Middle.
He also said that the Holloway students' performance at Washington Middle did not match the test scores the students received at Holloway.
Susan Smith, the school system's executive director of research and accountability, told the court that test scores by Holloway students on the Alabama Reading and Math Test, especially in the field of special education, "were demonstrably higher than special education scores for the remainder of the entire school district for the years 2010-11 and 2011-12."
After learning of the ruling on Tuesday, Peek said school officials have been taking extra steps to increase test security. All state tests will be given electronically this spring, she said, and there will also be more proctors.
"We'll get results faster, and it will be a cost savings" to have the tests completed online, Peek said. All of the answers will be submitted immediately after a student has finished the test, and "we'll monitor the administration of the tests vigilantly," she said.
Metra Turner is serving as Holloway Elementary's acting principal until the school board appoints a new one, which may happen at its December meeting, Peek said.

Stress Management Health Center
Stress Linked to Stroke
Aug. 30. 2012 -- Need another reason to take life in stride and heed the advice, "Don't sweat the small stuff"?
New research shows that people who are quick-tempered, impatient, aggressive, or naturally hostile may be more likely to have a stroke, compared to their more laid-back counterparts.
Having these type A personality traits was associated with a two-fold increase in stroke risk in the Spanish study, published this week in the Journal of Neurology, Neurosurgery and Psychiatry.
Living with chronic stress increased stroke risk almost four-fold.
Stress is a well-recognized risk factor for heart attack, but the study is among the first to suggest a direct impact on stroke.
The Stress, Stroke Link
"Our findings indicate that people can lower their stroke risk by attempting to reduce the stress in their lives," says researcher Ana Maria Garcia, MD, of the Hospital Clinico Universitario San Carlos in Madrid.
The study included 150 people who'd had strokes and 300 randomly selected people who had not had strokes.
The average age of the participants was 54, which is much younger than the typical stroke patient.
Garcia says that studying the impact of stress on stroke was easier in younger people who'd had strokes because they were less likely to have health issues like high blood pressure that have been linked to stroke.
All the participants were assessed for these known stroke risk factors. They were also asked about life stressors and other lifestyle factors that may impact stroke risk, such as alcohol use, coffee and energy drink use, and smoking history.

For three quarters, the San Antonio Spurs had a hard time trying to pull away from the Toronto Raptors. When the fourth period started it was a different story.
The Spurs opened the fourth with a 9-2 run, forcing Toronto to call a timeout after a 3-pointer by Matt Bonner with 10:22 remaining and San Antonio lead 90-86.
From there, the Spurs coasted to a 111-100 victory over the Raptors.
Here are some of the numbers which stood out in this Spurs' win.
70 – The Spurs dominated the inside game, outscoring the Raptors 70-40 on inside points.
41 – The Spurs controlled the boards, outrebounding the Raptors 41-32.
30 – San Antonio shared the ball better, dishing out 30 assists compared to the Raptors' 22. The Spurs won the game by outscoring the Raptors 30-16 in the final period.
29 – Andrea Bargnani had a game-high 29 points for the Raptors and added two rebounds and one steal.
Hit the jump for more stats and find out what's next for the Spurs!
28-11 – DeJuan Blair matched his career-high (28) in points and garbbed 11 boards for San Antonio for his 13th double-double of the season.
25 – DeMar DeRozan added 25 points, four assists and four rebounds for the Raptors.
18 – George Hill had 18 points, six assists and five rebounds off the Spurs' bench. Both teams scored 18 points a piece on fast break points.
16 – Tim Duncan and Tony Parker scored 16 points each for the Spurs. Bonner scored three points in 16 minutes of action.
12 – Manu Ginobili chipped in 12 points, nine dimes, four rebounds and one steal for the Spurs while Amir Johnson had 12 points, 13 boards and two assists for the Raptors.
5 – San Antonio had seven blocks for the game, five coming from Duncan. The Raptors had three blocks as a team.
0 – Duncan, Jefferson, Bargnani and DeRozan did not comitt a single turnover for the entire game.
Rookie Watch: Tiago Splitter had six points and eight boards in 15 minutes of action but left the game late in the third with a strained left hamstring and did not return. Gary had nine points and two rebounds in 20 minutes of playing time.
What's Next? The Spurs will visit the Philadelphia 76ers at the Wells Fargo Center on Friday.

Arizona Cardinals
ESPN analyst: Cardinals provided 'worst QB tandem performance'
ESPN NFL analyst Ron Jaworski told Arizona Sports 620's Burns and Gambo the combination of John Skelton and Ryan Lindley provided "arguably maybe the worst quarterback tandem performance" he's seen in a long time.
Anyone want to argue?
The passers combined to complete just 11-of-27 passes for 70 yards — though the team gained just 41 net yards through the passing game due to three sacks. The Cardinals ended up losing to the Atlanta Falcons despite the defense coming up with six turnovers.
It was Arizona's sixth-straight defeat, and with the season seemingly spinning out of control the topic of conversation has been Cardinals coach Ken Whisenhunt's decision to pull Skelton from the game in the first quarter.
Skelton, who had completed just 2-of-7 passes, was inaccurate, and missing a wide-open Larry Fitzgerald on what should have been a touchdown pass was likely the final straw.
"You just don't make that decision after seven passes," Jaworski said. "That decision was made on the complete body of work of John Skelton. How he's done this season, last season, training camp, mini camps, his complete body of work.
"So there had to be something that really bothered Ken Whisenhunt about John Skelton's game."

Adguard Web Filter 5.9.1081
Adguard is a unique internet filter that removes ads, ad-trackers and blocks websites with viruses & malware. One of the best ad blocker and pop-up killer for all browsers.
Adguard was developed using sophisticated heuristic algorithms and a wide range of filters that work perfectly in removing ads and popups. Once installed, Adguard silently works in the background and automatically protects you from ads and malicious websites. Though ad-blocking plugins are able to hide a part of advertisements, Adguards removes it completely, saving both Internet traffic and nerves. We created this program around three years ago and have been improving it ever since.
- Adguard removes annoying ads, reduces the page loading time and saves your traffic.
- It works with all major browsers: Internet Explorer, Opera, Firefox, Chrome, Safari.
- It blocks video ads, rich media and other non-standard types of ads. Prevents tracking by ad networks and counters.
- Adguard starts working right after installation, requires no additional preconfiguration and is regularly updated.
