If you belong to those legions of weekend linkers who never expect to score on the bright side of 80, it may come as somewhat of a shock to learn that petite Priscilla Wright -- our 5'2" March Playmate and gatefoldom's foremost lady golfer to date -- has been a mid-70s swinger since childhood. The towheaded 22-year-old, daughter of a Huntington Beach, California golf pro, Priscilla -- or Pat, as she prefers being called -- gave early notice of her parbusting potential when, at 13, she stroked her winning way to the title of Southern California Junior Champion. "As soon as I was old enough to hold a putter," she recalls, "my dad and I would put in at least an hour a day on the greens. While all my girlfriends were building their doll collections, I was busy polishing my first set of irons. Even after my parents separated and I lived with Mom, Dad and I always had a steady weekend date to play the back nine at whatever course he happened to be working." An artful miss -- both on and off the fairways -- pert Pat helps out in her artist-mother's Palm Springs studio weekday mornings ("Mom says I might make a pretty fair commercial cartoonist if I ever hang up my clubs"), then drives out to Huntington Beach for some late afternoon pointers from her dad on how to prepare for the rigors of full-time tournament play. "When my folks first broke up," Pat told us, "I thought the world had come to an end. Now that I'm of marriageable age myself, I can understand that their interests in life were too different not to lead them down separate paths. I'm just as close to both of them as ever: When I can't keep my golf score near par, Dad and I hold a series of reassuring career conferences: and when my problems are strictly girl-boy ones, I couldn't ask for a better morale booster than Mom. In a way, I guess I'm luckier than a lot of kids from so-called happy homes whose parents never took time to help them with any of their teenage growing pains." Next fall, after she's taken a crack at teeing off in a few forthcoming regional summer tourneys, Pat plans to enroll at Santa Barbara College as a fine-arts major. "You might call it a sort of educational insurance plan," she explains. "If I don't make the grade as a lady golfer, I figure it's best to have something else going for me -- and painting is the only other field that intrigues me at the moment." When she's not busy at her drawing board or teeing off, this month's minuscule miss spends her off-ours poring over stacks of science-fiction ("Ray Bradbury and Isaac Asimov are my two literary loves") and videophiling the night away in hopes of finding one more late-late Bogey rerun to watch. "I'll take the rugged type over the pretty boy any day in the week," says Miss Wright in describing her concept of Mr. Right. "Too many of Hollywood's handsome guys turn out to be total phonies once you've looked under their photogenic surfaces." A self-proclaimed loner, Pat prefers a quiet dinner à deux and a post-prandial jazz set or two when she's out on the town ("As far as I'm concerned, crowded night clubs are for couples who substitute noise for communication"). It was at Palm Springs' fashionable Thunderbird course that centerfoldom's queen of clubs satisfied our photographer's curiosity about golf's more glamorous side. Pat made a special effort to put her best form forward during her Playmate shooting when reminded that President Eisenhower owned a home on the club grounds and might show up to shoot a few holes if he was in residence. He wasn't -- but we're sure he would join us in dubbing this month's bantam beauty a real First Lady of the fairways.

Glasgow City Council has boosted the Sandymount cemetery regeneration project with a £4,000 donation towards the £15,000 required to create a Jewish children's memorial.
Between 1905-38, 760 children were buried at Sandymount in unmarked graves, a grim indication of the then high infant mortality rate locally.
Fundraising is also under way for refurbishing the stepped entrance from Hallhill Road and the trustees of the Glasgow Dean of Guild Court Trust have pledged £2,200 to the overall project.
"We are very grateful for the support that we're getting as we're entering the final phases of the project," said Stanley Coorsh, chair of the regeneration project trustees. "There have been generous donations from the Glasgow Jewish community and we have had ex-Glaswegians get in touch from Israel and Canada."

Actor Chazz Palminteri, 44, and his wife, actress Gianna Renaudo, 29, welcomed their first child, Dante Lorenzo (8 lbs., 5 ozs.) on Oct. 10 in New York City. Writer Henry Roth, 89, whose 1934 novel Call It Sleep documented the struggle of immigrants on New York City's Lower East Side, died Oct. 13 in Albuquerque, N. Mex., of undisclosed causes. Though Sleep was an immediate critical success, it didn't become popular until its 1964 reissue in paperback. It has now sold over 1 million copies....
British author Edith Pargeter, 82, who, under the pen name Ellis Peters, wrote the Brother Cadfael series of novels about a crime-solving 12th-century monk, died on Oct. 14 in Madeley, England, of a stroke. Cadfael came to life earlier this year on PBS's Mystery!, with Sir Derek Jacobi in the monk's robe.
Baywatch's Pamela Lee, 28, was rushed to a Santa Monica hospital on Oct. 13 complaining of flulike symptoms. She went home two days later with husband Tommy Lee, 33, of Mötley Crüe. A publicist has since confirmed that the actress, who had a miscarriage in June, is pregnant.
A mugger shoved U.S. Sen. Barbara Mikulski (D-Md.) and ran off with her purse on Oct. 15 outside her Baltimore home. Mikulski, 59, hurt her hand while defending herself and was treated at a local hospital. Her purse was recovered—minus $40 and some traveler's checks. The police have no suspects....
O.J. Simpson defense lawyer Barry Scheck, 45, was stopped by New York City police on Oct. 12 for making an illegal U-turn and was issued summonses for driving with an expired license and without proper car registration. Scheck pleaded no contest to the U-turn and renewed his license that day. He may contest the registration charge.
On Oct. 10, model Christie Brinkley, 42, filed for sole custody of her son, Jack, 4 months. Jack's dad is Brinkley's estranged third husband, real estate developer Rick Taubman, 46. Brinkley and Taubman wed last December and separated seven months later....
On Oct. 17 in London, accountant Keith Moore, 51, was sentenced to six years in jail for stealing more than $9 million from rocker Sting (born Gordon Sumner), 43. Moore took the cash during his 15 years as Sting's money manager.
Actor Ralph Fiennes, 32, and British actress Alex Kingston, 31, have split after two years of marriage. They are "leading separate lives," said his publicist, who won't say whether the couple plan to divorce.
Actor Johnny Depp, 32, recently paid $2.3 million for the Los Angeles home that once belonged to creep-meister Bela Lugosi, who died in 1956. "The Castle" had been owned by Hollywood palimony lawyer Marvin Mitchelson since 1980. Last year Depp played Lugosi's friend, C-movie director Ed Wood, in the film bearing Wood's name.

It was a Friday about noontime when I cranked-up the computer to go online and check my email. I've become accustomed to getting a cup of coffee while the machine goes through its various warm-up exercises until it finally gets to where I want it to be. That's what I did.
Returning with coffee in hand, I was intrigued by the bright red "breaking news" homepage headline announcing "Massacre In Elementary School." These four connected words seemed utterly UNconnected to me. I initially thought to myself, "That must've been some kinda snowball fight in Connecticut!" As the day and the story unfolded, the harsh reality of what was impossible to conceive began to sink in.
The Apostle Paul refers to the "sting" of death. Some things sting worse than others. Likewise, some "deaths." This one stung big-time - to families, friends, communities and even nations. Those words which should never, ever have been connected indeed were. And the grief was, is, and will continue to be great and deep.
While counselors strive to promote "closure" for those most directly affected by this horrible tragedy, another reality to be faced is that there can be NO closure. Nothing can restore the dead to life. The tragic loss of the victims of the massacre will be to all who know and love them "an ever-present absence." And in our modern society accustomed to finding answers to any question with a few mouse-clicks and curing every ailment with the latest therapy, the reality that physical life will indeed end is a bitter pill to swallow.
This event occurred more than a month ago. But its aftermath remains timely and relevant to two observances this coming week.
First, many will participate this week in observances celebrating the Sanctity of Human Life. The memory of the precious souls of the innocent children slaughtered in Connecticut should inspire all of us to a more profound respect for every human life, pre-born and born.
Many this week also will participate in various programs and services in connection with the annual Week of Prayer for Christian Unity that seeks to actualize the words of the Psalmist: "Behold, how good and pleasant it is, when brothers dwell in unity!" So many in our troubled world still urgently seek and desperately need the stability, comfort, consolation, faith, hope and strength that, historically, was to be found in the Christian church. We need to overcome economic, political, and philosophical divisions to be able to provide a united prophetic witness to modern society as did Isaiah to the ancient world: "When you pass through the waters I will be with you; and through the rivers, they shall not overwhelm you; when you walk through fire you shall not be burned, and the flame shall not consume you. For I am the LORD your God..." (Isaiah 43:2-3).
Yes, we modern sophisticated Americans seem to be constantly walking about in the midst of a fiery furnace. And sometimes we're just too darn busy to realize that, even in the midst of "an ever-present absence," there is, with us, in the furnace, "a never-absent Presence" - "like the Son of God" (Daniel 3:25).

Erie man charged in February assault
Erie police have charged a city man with beating another man on the city's west side in late February.

Panelists stressed the need to act quickly, as consumers increasingly link food with health. "If we become the solution for health issues, we will benefit from more frequent shopper trips," said Paul Boyer, vice-chairman, ...

cool use of QR codes?
Is there a such thing? Meh, pretty sure the answer is no, but Heineken gets an A for effort for at least giving them a somewhat valid purpose.
Concert festival goers could stop by the Heineken tent and get a custom QR code printed on a shirt that, when scanned, revealed a personalized message. The message could be cute, funny, inspirational or just plain dirty - whatever does it for you. The idea is to get people to connect in real life at the event.
Of course, if you've been to any musical festivals in your day, you'll probably agree that the thought of the drunken d-bags that frequent these festivals trying to scan your chest is more repulsive than it is cool.

On a side note to corn, Costco sells organic tortilla chips. Since they are organic they can't be made with GMO corn. Does that mean there is not GMO corn still in North America?

Eating primal is not a diet, it is a way of life.
Don't forget to play!
i would eat both, considering neither evil -- if i wanted them.
Carrot sticks. They make a better weapon to use against the idiot holding a gun to my head.
I'd probably pick the popcorn. Less (nasty) calories compared to the same quantity of chips - I think, and no nasty oil.

I despise popcorn, so that's not even a choice.
(Seriously, even the smell makes me nauseous because I'm allergic to the cottonseed oil movie theaters pop it in. Get a migraine and nausea after popcorn most of your life and you won't want it either. I don't even go to the theater very often because of the popcorn smell.)
Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, steak in one hand, chocolate in the other, yelling "Holy F***, What a Ride!"
My Latest Journal
I bought some organic popping corn and pop it in coconut oil. Maybe 3 cups worth (popped) every 2 or 3 months.
I count that as part of my 20% and refuse to feel bad about it.
I'd eat corn all day every day over canola oil. Societies have been consuming corn and maize for thousands of years, and properly prepared (nixtamalized corn) is pretty benign. Canola oil is a new invention. The heart disease curve mirrors the refined vegetable oils curve. It's no contest IMO.
In terms of a whole grain, if I had to eat one, corn would be right behind brown rice. Obviously white rice would be my first choice, but it's not a whole grain, so...

2015-2016 Ambassadors
Chris Retelas – Director
Chris is originally from, well, all over the West (best) Coast. Raised in the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Area (go 49ers, Giants, and Cal Bears!) until he was seven, he then grew up in Portland, OR (go Trailblazers!) for the next 11 years before he and his family moved to Sacramento. Chris graduated from CSU Sacramento with a degree in Business Administration before moving to New York (go Rangers!) for two years in order to get engaged to his wonderful wife, Kalli. Now he and Kalli live in Boston (with their newborn baby girl, Asimina!), where he is currently in his senior year of studies at Holy Cross pursuing a Master of Divinity degree. Camp and youth ministry have always been focal points in Chris's life. Some of his greatest friendships (and his marriage!) have come from his experiences at camps and working with youth. He has considerable experience as a camper, counselor, staff member, and director at St. Nicholas Ranch, Camp Angelos, All Saints Camp, and Ionian Village. Chris is looking forward to sharing his passion and experience with the youth and young adults throughout the country with this year's awesome Ambassadors group!
Cassandra Garibaldi
Cassandra Garibaldi grew up near Lowell, MA. She is currently a senior in the Master of Divinity program at Holy Cross Greek Orthodox School of Theology. In the spring of 2013, she received her bachelor's degree in Religious Studies from Hellenic College. She has been a part of the Ambassadors program for the past five years and is excited to begin a sixth year. Cassandra has a passion for youth ministry. Over her five years, she has been a part of retreats in the New England area and across the country. She spends her summers at her home away from home--the Metropolis of Boston Camp.

Gregory pursued his undergraduate degree at Brooklyn College with a double major in Religious Studies and Classical Literature.

Demetrios Constantine
Living in a number of states and growing up with a number of siblings, Demetri Constantine, a Hellenic College graduate, is starting his first year at Holy Cross, where he is currently working on a Master of Divinity degree. However, grad school is not the newest life change for Demetri. This past August, Demetri was blessed to marry the most amazing person in the world, his new wife, Maria. Over the last several years, Demetri has enjoyed working with the youth in various capacities, spending four years on staff at Camp Nazareth in PA, volunteering at All Saints Camp in WA, and helping to lead various retreats and youth activities. In his free time, Demetri loves playing just about every sport; he also likes watching movies, playing board games, singing, chanting, painting, cheering on the Baltimore Ravens and Orioles, and, simply spending quality time with good company. This is his second year as a member of the Ambassadors program, and he is very excited about everything this year has to offer!
Sarah Livick-Moses
Sarah Livick-Moses is a senior in the Literature and History major at Hellenic College and she recently got married in July 2015. This is her second year as an Ambassador. As a GOYAn, she enjoyed many summers at St. Stephen's Summer Camp in SC and attended the Winter Youth Rally in Atlanta. She believes that, as an Ambassador, she can add to the experience of youth who are attending those events now. Having moved all over the USA as a military brat, Sarah enjoys the travel that comes with the Ambassadors' job description. She loves getting involved with youth events and is excited for the opportunity to minister to Orthodox youth around the country!
Alexander Kamilaris
Embarking on a new journey in life, Alexander is a first-year seminarian at Holy Cross. He graduated from Hellenic College in May 2015 and has a great deal of love and respect for all happenings on the Holy Hill. He is eager to be on the Ambassadors team, as he thoroughly enjoys working with youth and sharing his experience at HCHC. Alex enjoys writing poetry, spending time with family and friends, serving those in need, and playing racquetball. He hopes that he can bring the light of the Lord that shines so brightly on the Holy Hill at HCHC to all those whom he encounters in life.
Anna Teodosiadis
Anna Teodosiadis was born and raised in Seattle, WA, and is a junior at Hellenic College. She is studying Human Development and Religious Studies because of her interest in the connection between psychology and spirituality. Anna has attended and counseled at All Saints Camp in her home state for as long as she can remember. She is in love with being at camp, and if she could, would be at camp for life! Her love for dancing, teaching, traveling, laughing, and Orthodoxy makes her very ecstatic for her second year as an Ambassador.
Claire Barden
Claire Barden grew up in Raleigh, NC, but calls Boston her home (and is learning to love the Sox). She is a sophomore in the Literature and History program in Hellenic College, which means you won't find her forgetting the Oxford comma in her papers. As she grows in her Orthodox faith, she's finding more ways to be involved in the Antiochian Archdiocese and HCHC – having been a camp counselor at Camp St. Thekla in SC, a HCHC Orientation Leader, and now an RA in Polemanakos Dorms. In Claire's spare time, she loves to read, play her guitar, and write on her blog about life's small adventures. This is Claire's first time serving with the Ambassadors program, and she is thrilled to share her love for Christ with Orthodox youth around the nation.
Dimitri Konstantinou
Dimitri Konstantinou is a seminarian in his junior year at Hellenic College in the Religious Studies program. He plans to go on to Holy Cross and receive his Master of Divinity degree, so that, God willing, one day he may be ordained to the priesthood. Dimitri hails from Williamsburg, VA. Dimitri has a passion for youth ministry and has spent his summers as a counselor at Camp Good Shepherd and Camp Good Shepherd Virginia. He has spent the past summer serving as the Director of Youth Ministries at his home parish of Sts. Constantine and Helen in Newport News, VA. In his free time, Dimitri enjoys chanting, playing football or basketball, Greek dancing, or just relaxing outside on a beautiful day. He is also a diehard Washington Wizards fan, and he loves Virginia Tech football! Dimitri is thrilled by the opportunity to give back to Orthodox youth across the country.
Alexandra Drechsler
Alexandra is in her second year at Hellenic College, studying Elementary Education with a minor in Religious Studies. At her high school in the Chicago suburbs, she ran four years of varsity cross country and played viola in the chamber orchestra. She graduated from high school a cum laude scholar and an AP scholar of distinction, and was named a 2015 Pan-Hellenic Scholarship recipient. She has taught English at the Orthodox Metropolis of Korea's summer camp, helped build a house with Project Mexico, and interned at a Chicago area law firm. At HCHC, Alexandra loves Orthros, studying Byzantine chant, and running around Jamaica Pond. She hopes to use her education degree to serve the Church in domestic and international mission work in the future.
Seraphim Ramos
Seraphim was born in California as Spencer Ramos, and was raised in Washington State with his three brothers and two sisters. Sports (track, wrestling, and football) and the Christian faith were both integral parts of his formation. On Christmas Eve 2007 the entire Ramos family was received into the Orthodox Church and this was really the turning point of Spencer's life at 16 years old. This transformation was initiated by reading the life of St. Seraphim of Sarov and taking his name. After graduating from high school, Seraphim moved to Boston and entered Hellenic College by God's grace. There he met Olenka, his lovely wife, and they both graduated in the class of 2014. Later that summer they were married in the Church of the Theotokos "Joy of All Who Sorrow" in San Francisco, where the relics of St. John Maximovitch reside, and they are now expecting their first child. Seraphim is in the second year of the three-year Master of Divinity program at Holy Cross. St. Nicholas Ranch and the Metropolis summer camp held there every July was also a wonderful part of Seraphim's experience of the Orthodox Church and camp will forever have a place in his heart as an important and beautiful ministry to show the beauty of the Orthodox faith to the young people of the Church.
Matthew Jouthas
Matthew Jouthas was born and raised in California and is in his final semester of Hellenic College in the Religious Studies A program, looking forward to starting Holy Cross! He enjoys hiking, basketball, Greek dance, and offering everything he can to serve the Church. Having participated in Saint Nicholas Ranch Summer Camp, he is excited to offer his best to his first year in the Ambassadors program!
Bailie Henry
Bailie Henry grew up in the great state of Oklahoma and is in her sophomore year at Hellenic College, pursuing a bachelor's degree Business Management and Leadership. Bailie has been involved in her metropolis camp since she was in 7th grade and is now a camp counselor there in the summer. Bailie has a great love for baseball, traveling, crafting, and country music! This is her first year as an Ambassador and she is very excited to work with the Orthodox youth and help to serve Sonia Belcher's HCHC Ambassadors Program.

Gravity and Boundary Conditions
Application ID: 2152
The influence of gravity on the flow pattern is often an important issue when modeling flow in fluids with variable density. You can account for this influence in the model equations by adding, to the momentum balances, the volume force.
This model shows a simple example of the implementation of boundary conditions when volumetric forces are included in the momentum balances. This can be used to account for hydrostatic pressure and to account for density variations in free convection problems.
This application was built using the following:CFD Module
The combination of COMSOL® products required to model your application depends on the physics interfaces that define it. Particular physics interfaces may be common to several products (see the Specification Chart for more details). To determine the right combination of products for your project, you should evaluate all of your needs in light of each product's capabilities, consultation with the COMSOL Sales and Support teams, and the use of an evaluation license.

At the close of Michael Nutter's campaign, the now-mayor-elect was urging people to vote, not just for him but to send a message to President Bush and to help elect Democrats as judges.
Nutter's theme: It's not over.
Most voters weren't listening.
Seven of 10 registered voters in the city skipped a trip to the polls yesterday, treating the mayor's race as an issue settled in the May Democratic primary when Nutter bested four rivals.
With more than 96 percent of the divisions reporting late last night, only 28.7 percent of the city's registered voters cast ballots.

PRINCETON TOWNSHIP – An accidental chemical reaction caused a tub of pool chlorine to briefly emit noxious fumes in the driveway of a township home this afternoon, fire officials said.
No injuries were reported. Trenton's Hazmat Team was called out but found the chemical reaction had burnt itself out by the time firefighters arrived, city Battalion Chief Dave Turner said.
A contractor had a five-gallon pail of chlorine in the back of a pickup truck parked in the driveway of a Winfield Road home when it started emitting fumes around 12:30 p.m.
"Obviously, the guy was working on it and it just reacted," Turner said.
The city hazmat team was called out to assist local firefighters, and was told to proceed to the scene at emergency speed with lights and sirens activated for the first half of the trip to Princeton, Turner said. When the pail stopped smoking about five minutes later, the response was slowed down.
City firefighters found no hazard at the scene. Turner said the reaction was likely caused by an accidental mixture of the chlorine and water or another chemical on the truck.

In this movie, I'm going to show you how to extend it even further by creating your own add-in. Remember that an add-in is an application that is installed once and then loaded each time Excel runs. It's not tied to a specific document. For this demonstration, I'm going to create a custom ribbon inside Excel 2010. I'm inside a project called ProcessAnalyzer. I've already written the demonstration code for today. I'm going to start by showing you how to add your own custom ribbon to an Excel project.
You right-click on the project, and choose Add > New Item. Here is the ribbon designer that I want to use. Now, I already have a ribbon, so I'm not going to go ahead and click on the Add button. Instead, I'm going to cancel this one and show you the existing ProcessMemoryRibbon I've written. As you can see, it has a designer surface. There's also a special section on the Toolbox that contains Office Ribbon Controls. So if I wanted to, I could take this CheckBox here and then drag it over and drop it on my designer surface.
Of course, I can go to the code behind and manipulate this item, or read this information and push it into the Excel document. Now let me show you what I mean. I have this button here that I've added an icon and some pictures to. You can see it's a Button though. If I switch over to the code behind view by pressing F7, and scroll down here, you can see I've written a Button1_Click procedure. I start by creating a reference to an Excel worksheet. Then I go to the Globals area, and I find the current application.
I get its Worksheet collection, and I tell it to add a brand-new worksheet. Once I've done that, I go into the sheet and I print some text into the A1 cell. I then print some other text into the B1 cell. And then I have a small link query here that goes out and talks to .NET and gets all the running processes on the computer. I then take those, apply a link query to that, and I say, I want to order them By their WorkingSet, how much memory are they using, in a descending order.
Then I select out the processes. Then down here, I take the number of items--five, ten, fifteen, or twenty--and I convert this to Array and assign it to their process. And then down here, I'm going to generate some cells in my spreadsheet. This number is coming from my Ribbon value. If I go back to my Ribbon, you'll see that I have a Count dropdown here, and I've populated this with words like "Five, Ten, Fifteen." So that's why I'm getting that Count value.
As you can see up here on line 20, I'm getting that from the Gallery, my Gallery, SelectedItem.Tag, and then I'm just returning an integer value. So down here, I am iterating over the processes.Length times one--the number of items inside this array--and I'm printing out a cell with the ProcessName, and its WorkingSet. Then I'm changing the NumberFormat for the cell. Once that's done, I select that range, and I create a brand-new chart.
The name of the chart's going to be Memory Used. So, what's going to happen, when you click on my add-in, I'm going to look at the operating system, tell you the number of processes that are using the most WorkingSet memory, and then generate a chart out of that. Does that sound good? Let's see if it works. I'm going to press F5 to run the application, which will launch Excel, load my add-in. My add-in is living in this Add-Ins section. Office 2010 has a separate area for all custom Add-Ins. Here is my item.
Here is my Count. There is Five, Ten, Fifteen, right? So I'll choose Ten. Now, I'm going to click in this button, and it generated this sheet with the names of the processes and the amount of memory used, and it generated this chart, which shows that Visual Studio is using the most memory of all the applications. Now, your user can uninstall this add- in by going to their Add-Ins menu. Or if you're a programmer, you can go to the Developer toolset to remove this.
Let me show you how to do that. I'm going to go to File > Options, click on the Customize Ribbon, and then I'm going to check the Developer tab here and then OK. Now, I have a new tab right here, and I can go into the COM Add-Ins and find out my add-ins. Here is the Load Test Report add-in, and I can uninstall that. The other way to uninstall this is to go back to Visual Studio and choose this Build > Clean Solution.
This will go out and remove it from the list of add-ins to run the next time Excel runs. So, I'll choose Clean Solution for my final demo. This concludes the section on Office automation. Many of the other Office products have similar add-in templates. I encourage you to explore your own ideas in your favorite Office tool.

A previously healthy 3-year-old girl presented with a 1-month history of influenzalike symptoms complicated by a 4-day history of cough, tachypnea, tachycardia, and respiratory distress when recumbent. She had recent complaints of low-back pain and left shoulder pain. There was no significant medical history.
Vital signs on admission to the hospital were as follows: temperature, 36.5°C; heart rate, 154 beats per minute; respiratory rate, 50 breaths per minute; and blood pressure, 104/64 mm Hg. Physical examination revealed an illappearing girl with moderate respiratory distress who was most comfortable lying on her left side. Examination of the left side of the chest revealed a prominent hemothorax and decreased breath sounds on the left side. Examination of the right hemithorax revealed prominent heart sounds. There was some fullness of the left side of the abdomen, and an indistinct mass was palpated in the left upper quadrant. Results of

Representations of Women's Intellect in Film and Television
Scarecrow Press (History and Film Book Series)
Since the Second Wave Feminist Movement during the 1970s, Hollywood has slowly begun to give prominent and leading roles to women. However, the intellectual representations of women are out of line with reality, in many cases failing to reflect the successes and struggles that women have faced in a resistant social and political environment. This book considers the portrayals of traditional myths about women's intellect across film history, as well as new myths and/or myth-busters that may have arisen since the Second Wave.
When women are given space as "smart" in the media, they often find themselves simultaneously undermined by stigmatizing qualities; finding it difficult to gain and maintain a romantic connection, for example, or watching her less intelligent friend/sister/colleague get all of the attentions of others. Some smart women are coded as nerds, and in many other cases, intellect is conflated with madness, monstrosity, or witchcraft, harkening back to the healer and the hag.
In what ways does Hollywood control expectations about the brains of women by foiling their intellect with their own bodies? How are smart women cast as threats to the social order? What do we make of cinematic strategies that cast women as the counter-intellectual to men of superior intellect? And what of those whom we don't allow to display any characteristics of the intellectual at all?
Women earn 77 percent of the salaries of all American men—and that is not because fewer women than men are working. The reality of the American workforce is that women cluster in poorly paid occupations. This stems from the pervasive cultural maintenance of male privilege, something that is still communicated to girls and young women through peer groups, the media, and even the historical structure of education that educated women differently than men.
Contemporary media exploits this hypocrisy. More women go to college, but they end up in overwhelmingly lower-paid jobs. Women who choose more elite career paths in medicine, science, or crime fighting are made less threatening by an over-accentuation of their "womanliness," thus exceptionalizing their intellectual position. If she is attractive, the viewer can ignore her brain in favor of gazing at her body; if she is average looking, or nerdy, viewers are offered ways to desexualize her in order to accept her as an intellectual.
This Call for Chapters looks for scholarship that focuses on women's brainy roles in film and television since WWII. Questions for consideration may include, but are not limited to:
*In what ways are women in film imprisoned by their intelligence?
*In what way are women ostracized for it?
*Are there cases in which women in film are set free, or live better, as a result of intellectual growth?
*How do female roles in film reinforce standards of beauty, submissiveness, and silence, over intellect, problem solving, or leadership?
*In what ways are smart women infantilized, or commodified, by their intelligence in film (i.e.: chicks, babes, and honeys who are, despite their appearance or place in society, intelligent)?
*How does an actress's personal standards of intellect in her real life affect the way she is given roles, or seen on screen?
*Are there successes (i.e. women in film and television who are intelligent without also being objectified or villified)
2-5 page chapter proposals should be e-mailed to the book editor, Laura Mattoon D'Amore: email@example.com. Please include a CV or brief biography with your proposal.

In the preface it is said that the conferences of the Josiah Macy, Jr. Foundation are efforts to provide communication between investigators by means of small meetings with emphasis on discussion. The conference on polysaccharides appears to have fulfilled this purpose. The transactions are reported in a manner which preserves the spirit of spontaneous discussion, questioning, and rebuttal. Dr. Paul György was the chairman. There were twenty-seven members and guests.
In the transactions the first discussion, led by Dr. M. L. Wolfrom, is concerned with nomenclature. Among other things, the participants raise questions regarding application of the rules of carbohydrate nomenclature to the complex polysaccharides and consider such items as the use of desoxy- versus deoxy- as a prefix. The second discussion, conducted by Dr. Karl Meyer, is on problems of classification. A sample of this section is a question on the definition of mucopolysaccharides, which leads to several pages

Dr. Jeffrey Thompson is one of the most reliable names in the field of brainwave synchronization. His delta sleep systems incorporate subliminal brainwave entrainment sounds with soothing nature and are meant to be played as you drift off to slumber. Dr. Thompson's Sleepy Ocean is meant to lull even the most stressed-out listener to pleasant dreamland, and it does so with a solid hour of nothing but the ambient sound of gently lapping ocean waves and subliminal delta-wave entraining frequencies. While your upper brain responds to the tranquility of shore associations, your lower automatically adjusts its wavelength to match the delta waves on the disc, sending you deep into relaxation and sleep. This CD does everything but put the smell of brine in the air and the lotion on your back, and no chance of sunburn.
Even without the delta waves to help lull your mind into a reflective calm, the ocean waves are incredibly soothing. Nature's own stress-reducing machine, the ocean's ceaseless lapping of tide, is something we instinctively respond to; it's a million years of hard-wired evolution. It's the mother of us all; we feel protected, safe, when we're in her presence. Put on Dr. Thompson's Sleepy Ocean the next time you are feeling harried and overbooked. Let Mother Nature carry your weight awhile, and find yourself floating on a bed of pleasant impressions and calm. Add delta wave impulses and your agitation and anxiety haven't got a chance.
In addition to using Thompson's CD as a sleep aid, it's also great for napping inside on a peaceful afternoon when you can't get to the beach. Find a spot to lie down in where the sun is on your face. Close your eyes and—with Sleepy Ocean on in the background—put some coconut oil or your favorite suntan lotion on so you can smell it as you lie there. The sensory combination of smell (lotion), sight (sun behind closed eyes), and sound (Sleepy Ocean) will send the impression to your unconscious that you are in fact at the beach. You may even feel that weird floating feeling that can sometimes overtake you when falling asleep after a day of playing in the waves. How much more stress-reduction can you get when going to the beach doesn't involve traffic, finding a parking spot, or sunburn?

Editor's Note: This is the second of a 12-part series previewing Big 12 football teams. Thursday's preview will feature be on Missouri's Tigers.
LAWRENCE, Kan. (AP) - Maybe four concussions would convince Zac Wegner to quit football. He's up to three, and still playing.
"As far as the concussions are concerned, there was talk that I wasn't going to make it back after what happened in the Kansas State game," said Kansas' oft-unconscious quarterback. "It was tough on me emotionally for three or four months. After taking many tests in Chicago and in Lawrence, I've been cleared. That's all in the past.
"Once I got the OK from the doctors, it's a full go."
How much improvement the Jayhawks make from last year's rather deceptive 4-7 record may hinge a great deal on how healthy their quarterback can stay. Although he's No. 10 on the all-time passing charts, Wegner comes into his senior season bedeviled by any number of misfortunes.
He suffered his first concussion last year in an off-season incident. Then, in back-to-back games against Colorado and Kansas State, he suffered two more.
It was widely assumed his football days were done.
"It takes a lot of courage to come back from a situation like that," said Terry Allen, who is beginning his third year as head coach. "He's suffered three concussions in a year. It's not like a knee injury that you can rehab. A concussion is multiplied each time."
Another possibility is junior college transfer Dylan Smith, provided he cleared academic hurdles.
At least the quarterbacks will have a more experienced backfield to work with. Junior running back David Winbush, who finished with just under 1,000 rushing yards last season, is back. The Jayhawks are also hoping to make fuller use of Mitch Bowles, who showed promise as a runner.
Altogether, Allen has 48 returning lettermen to make up for the loss of nine starters, including the entire linebacker corps. The Jayhawks believe Dariss Lomax, a powerful, talented inside linebacker who redshirted last year, has star potential.
"We won't be a better football team until we become better against the rush," said Allen. "The thing we're excited about is we will start with four new linebackers on the inside and outside. The return of Dariss Lomax and four new players will make us better."
The Jayhawks' schedule is tough. Their Big 12 opponents will include 1998 bowl teams Kansas State, Missouri, Nebraska and Texas A&M. But first they open on Aug. 28 at Notre Dame in the Eddie Robinson Classic.
"You hear about Notre Dame all the time," said Winbush. "There's definitely a motivation to work harder in off-season workouts knowing that we are opening against Notre Dame. What a way to start the season."
It's not as though the Jayhawks were not competitive last season. They came close to beating Texas A&M and had second-half leads against Oklahoma State, Baylor and Iowa State. But each time they wilted in the second half. Colorado was their only Big 12 victory.
"I think we can be a bowl-eligible team," Allen said. "We play 12 games so we have to win seven. But I think we can do it."
Fans will have a new $3.1 million Jumbotron video board to see replays on, part of a two-year, $25 million renovation project which also includes a new press box and 36 luxury suites that are scheduled to be ready by the home opener on Sept. 11 against Cal-State Northridge.
"This is going into our third year and I'm very excited about this team," said Allen. "We're playing with young players who are getting more experience, and from a facilities and student-athlete standpoint, we are very proud of where we are at Kansas. This is obviously a critical year for us. We need to put some wins on the board." KANSAS5D1D

Local law enforcement agencies teamed up with Crimestoppers Inc. Thursday to promote the upcoming National Night Out festivities in the New Orleans area. Crimestoppers Executive Director Darlene Cusanza also revealed the names of the neighborhood groups that won sponsorship for their Tuesday evening events through the agency's National Night Out contest.
"This is a really special week for everyone that's here," Cusanza said, motioning to the crowd behind her, including U.S. Attorney Jim Letten, Jefferson Parish Sheriff Newell Normand, Harahan Police Chief Mac Dickinson, Commander Chris Goodly of the New Orleans Police Department's 5th District.
The contest invited local civic or community groups to share their plans for this year's Night Out, the nationally-celebrated block party that encourages neighbors to get to know one another and fight crime. Local law enforcement agencies this year voted to move the event from Aug. 2 to Oct. 11 so attendees would have cooler weather.
The civic groups were also asked to share their creative efforts to keep their neighborhoods safe and how Crimestoppers could help. The prizes included money for refreshments, a visit from local law enforcement and Crimestoppers VIPs, T-shirts and other goodies.
The large-audience category winner was Reconnect Nola, a non-profit organization that will hold its Night Out event at Lemann Playground, 538 N. Claiborne Ave., New Orleans from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. Though based in New Orleans' Treme neighborhood, Chairman Wayne "D.J. Wild Wayne" Benjamin said the group reached beyond its borders to invite residents from all of New Orleans.
"I think the really big thing is to invite the kids and the younger kids to be a part of this," said Benjamin, who noted that they are most often the perpetrators or victims of crime. "We need to involve them in the process.
The small-audience winner was Night Out Against Crime party that will be held at Sampson Playground, 3100 Louisa St., New Orleans, from 5 to 7:30 p.m. The party, sponsored by the American Friends Service Committee and A Desire for Change, will feature a D.J. and peace-themed dance contests, chalk art and sports, according to organizer Ahmane Glover.
Crimestoppers handed out a surprised third-place award to the Multifamily Council of Greater New Orleans, an affiliate of the Home Builders Association of Greater New Orleans. Their carnival-style party will be held at 733 Trisha Court, Westwego, from 5-7 p.m.
For more information about Crimestoppers-affiliated Night Out gatherings or to receive Crimestoppers materials for a Night Out event, call 504.837.8477 or visit the group's website at www.crimestoppersgno.org.

Brian Kelly met with the media on Tuesday, revealing a few details about the defensive changes he plans to implement. And while he kept any specific schematic or personnel tweaks to himself, his comments helped clarify why he made the decision to relieve Brian VanGorder of his duties Sunday morning.
At the second inflection point of his tenure in South Bend, Kelly is once again betting on himself. We saw him do this to great success after he made the unconventional decision to name Chuck Martin his offensive coordinator after the 2011 season—betting on his protege instead of Ed Warinner, who then left to go to Ohio State after being passed up.
That's not to say this move has the ceiling of Kelly's last great pivot—an undefeated regular season that ended with a date in the national title game. You could just as easily argue it's a survival play.
So perhaps that's why Kelly was less interested in defining what Greg Hudson's new job title means, and more resolute on clarifying that this defense will operate the way the head coach sees fit.
"He's going to adapt to what I want to run. His style is going to be Coach Kelly's style," Kelly explained.
"I'll worry about the implementation, the scheme. I'll take care of that for him right now. As he gets more comfortable with what we have and what our system is about, then he will be much more involved in what we do.
"But right now, we'll write the music and he'll be the lead singer. I don't know if that's a great analogy, if that makes any sense. He's going to be out front, but he just got here. In terms of assuming this role, he's learning everything as well."
For those worried that the Irish head coach was shirking responsibility for his team's 1-3 start, Kelly certainly is acting like a coach who is doing the opposite. He's doubling down, and in doing so, acknowledging some of the fatal flaws that became exposed each and every game Brian VanGorder continued to coach.
The head coach will simplify game plans, asking his young team to do less but do it better. The staff will learn from the opening night debacle in Texas, a game plan that stressed scheme over personnel, a decision that was largely emblematic of how VanGorder handled his time in South Bend.
"We can't defend everything. We can't defend everything, but we have to be sound," Kelly said. "I'll leave it at that."
Kelly's other major move will be developing a better rotation. After seven recruiting cycles, the roster has a deeper talent pool than VanGorder was willing to access. And for all the talk of sub-packages and defensive specialization, Kelly sounded like a coach who knew he needed to take things back to the basics.
"I can't have 15 different personnel packages. We've got a couple personal packages. That's it," Kelly said. "There can't be cross-training into three different personnel packages. We've streamlined that to the point where the guys are going to know by hopefully Thursday exactly where they fit in each group."
With just days to prepare a defense that's already at rock bottom, implementing any gigantic scheme change was always out of the question. But in looking for a new identity, Kelly also acknowledged some of the breaking points that forced him to make the change.
Notre Dame's defense is starting fresh with Greg Hudson, at least temporarily, at the helm. But Syracuse head coach Dino Babers doesn't expect the instability to lead to a weakened opponent.
In fact, he thinks it'll have the opposite effect.
"What normally happens in those situations is just like in a cowboy movies you circle the wagons and you find out who wants to fight and who doesn't want to fight," Babers said Monday. "So we're going to get an angry mama bear that's been wounded, that's going to be fighting and clawing and coming out with all they have, and really wish they wouldn't had done anything and wish they would have won the game last week."
But the Irish didn't win against Duke. And Brian Kelly's decision to remove Brian VanGorder of his duties after just four games leads Notre Dame's young defense into some uncharted territory.
Because the Irish will have to find a way to slow down a Syracuse offense that might not have as good of personnel as Texas, but is better at running the up-tempo, spread attack that the Longhorns installed this offseason. And Babers comes from the same Art Briles coaching tree that Sterlin Gilbert.
So Notre Dame will need to find a way to tackle receivers in space. And they'll need to find a way to get an offense off the field that's run more plays than every team in college football but three.
While Kelly promised both personnel and scheme changes, what can be done in a week remains to be seen. But with the Irish offense going up against a defense that's actually worse statistically in every major category than Notre Dame's, finding any success on the defensive side of the ball will be key.
Sunday's move was emphatic. Brian VanGorder's departure confirms that a 1-3 record is unacceptable. And the demise of this team was as swift as the departure of a colleague Brian Kelly has known for the bulk of his 25-plus year coaching career.
But that's the job. And the move likely wasn't easy for a head coach who saw himself as close to tenured as any man this side of Lou Holtz had been, and is now clearly in uncharted territory.
"I'm under review, as well," Kelly acknowledged on Sunday afternoon. "We're all in this together: All the players, coaches, everybody. So players' jobs are on the line. Every job is being evaluated as the players. All coaches' jobs are on the line as well."
With Greg Hudson now directing the defense, and Syracuse having run more offensive plays than every program but three, the challenge this weekend is stark. So let's move forward ourselves and finish off the good, the bad and the ugly.
Dexter Williams. Brian Kelly gave him credit, so let's start there. Williams ran hard, looked explosive and flashed on special teams.
It's time for Williams to get some more reps, even if it means taking away from Josh Adams' leading load as well as Tarean Folston's.
Donte Vaughn. Notre Dame's freshman cornerback wasn't perfect—he got beat inside a few times on slant routes that everybody in the building saw coming. But he came up big and made a play, something Notre Dame's defensive backs haven't done since Shaun Crawford went down for the season.
His length and cover skills should be put to the test again next weekend when Syracuse's Amba Etta-Tawo looks to replicate his monster 270-yard performance against UConn. The focus will be on Cole Luke, Vaughn, Julian Love and Nick Coleman.
Kevin Stepherson. The freshman only caught three balls, but all of them were big gainers, including his beautiful 44-yard touchdown catch. With Torii Hunter unable to push the lid off opponents, Stepherson might be a better fit for the X moving forward, assuming he continues to learn the playbook and run precise routes.
The Weather. Looked like a heckuva day in South Bend, at least from a weather perspective.
The tackling. That was one of the worst tackling performances I can remember. Especially against a team that was anemic on offense heading into the weekend. Name a defender and you'll recall a missed tackle.
Drue Tranquill held on to a few early, then had some ugly whiffs. Cole Luke, a guy Brian Kelly called the team's smartest football player last week, sure looked lost a few times, too. And with hopes that Devin Studstill is the answer at free safety, Studstill did his best to make us wonder about that, too. He took some horrific routes to footballs, a difficult day at the office for a young kid who needs to learn quickly.
When your senior captain outside linebacker is getting run over by a quarterback for a first down and you're thinking, "at least he made the tackle," the bar has been lowered pretty significantly. But another week of "thudding" at practice might be needed—even with heavy installation coming soon.
The special teams. A missed field goal proved costly. So did some horrific tackling and coverage on the kickoff return that let Duke back into the game. And for the fourth time this season, Tyler Newsome flubbed his first kick of the game. (All but asking for the nickname Mulligan to emerge.)
Scott Booker has a ton of kids on his run teams. But they've got to get some consistency out there if they want CJ Sanders to help turn this into a positive, not another unit to hide.
The pass rush. Yes, the drought is over, with Nyles Morgan getting the first sack of the season for the Irish. But man—this team has a gigantic hole on it and finding any type of pass rush is critical.
Sure, Duke's quick passing game took advantage of the Irish's leaky secondary and didn't let Notre Dame get to the quarterback. But at this point, every snap you're giving Andrew Trumbetti over a kid who can get to the quarterback—Jay Hayes, Daelin Hayes, Khalid Kareem, or anyone—feels lost.
The coaching. Kelly raised more than a few eyebrows when he said the following, when asked about an evaluation of his defensive coaching and game plan.
"That's probably the one area that I feel better about today. We did what I wanted today in terms of coaching. And coaching had nothing to do with the outcome today," Kelly said.
That was likely a time-buyer until a long night of thinking, because morning brought clarity for the head man.
The State of the Program. With the game tied 28-28 heading into the fourth quarter, one team was jumping around like they'd won the lotto. The other was all but biting their fingernails, kicking dirty and looking lethargic.
If anything set off Kelly postgame—even more so than the defense his troops were displaying—it was the lack of effort.
"There's no passion for it. It looks like it's hard to play. Like we're pulling teeth," Kelly said. "You're playing football for Notre Dame. It looks like it's work. Last I checked they were getting a scholarship to play this game.
"There's no fun, there's no enjoyment, there's no energy. We got to look for the guys that want to have fun and play this game with passion and energy and that's where we got to go."
In Kelly's first few seasons in South Bend, he was criticized for having his team celebrate victories, even the ugly ones. But somewhere this program lost track of the ultimate goal and that likely falls on the head coach to fix that problem as soon as possible.
Firing a staffer. Notre Dame's head coach likely saw what many of us saw as well. But a decision like that from the cheap-seats is one thing, a decision from inside the program is another.
Follow Notre Dame long enough, and you'll tire of thinking about the carousel that's come and gone—Davie, O'Leary, Willingham, Weis, armies of loyal assistants who have spent years working to climb the summit. And for most, life after Notre Dame isn't the same.
Sure, there's Urban Meyer, Dan Mullen and Charlie Strong. But there are a few dozen others who have come to a program with noble ambitions—willing to do it right and win on and off the field—but they fail too often on Saturdays.
So as ND Nation almost united in celebration of the move, it's worth a quick word to a fanbase that always fashions itself as possessing proper etiquette.
Few come to your office and celebrate the worst day of your professional career. Less dig into your family's Twitter account, hoping to break a story or confirm news they celebrate jubilantly. Sure, some of that comes with the territory. And certainly VanGorder was well compensated for his time in South Bend.
But ultimately, this Sunday hopefully provided some perspective. Baseball lost one of its brightest young stars. Golf lost one of its icons. And many many more things of consequence took place—inside the sporting world and out.
But when it comes to VanGorder, a quick reminder of something that has nothing to do with sports. A man has lost his job. A family will uproot once again. And the dynamics on the current football team—where Montgomery VanGorder still plays an important role—won't ever be the same.
"I will tell you this: Brian is as fine a defensive coach as there is out there. He knows the game. He loves Notre Dame," Kelly said on Sunday. "He wanted to succeed as much as anybody here, but it wasn't working."
There should be no harm in that.
Brian VanGorder has been fired. Notre Dame's third-year defensive coordinator was relieved of his duties after just four games.
Brian Kelly made the move official Sunday morning, less than an hour before his weekly Sunday teleconference. He's replaced VanGorder with defensive analyst Greg Hudson, a former Notre Dame linebacker who joined the Irish staff in June and spent the last three seasons as defensive coordinator at Purdue, a position he also held at East Carolina and Minnesota. The rest of the defensive staff remains unchanged.
"Obviously, this is a difficult day for our coaching staff, but I'm excited and honored about the opportunity that Coach Kelly has afforded me," Hudson said in the team's statement. "We've got to improve on defense, without a doubt, and I'm confident that we will. We have great student-athletes and a tremendous defensive coaching staff. I can't wait to get started with our group."
The VanGorder era ends with the Irish ranked 101st in scoring defense, 96th in rushing defense and 87th in pass defense. The Irish are dead last in sacks, the last FBS team to get one when Nyles Morgan finally got the team's first sack against Duke.
Hired after Bob Diaco left Notre Dame for the head job at UConn, VanGorder brought with him an NFL system and a multiple, attacking scheme. But after injuries derailed his first season, it was a defense best known for its maddening inconsistency, with even last season's talented outfit plagued by the big play and mistakes.
As late as Saturday night Kelly pledged allegiance to his defensive coordinator, calling the staff's game plan the least of his concerns after the 38-35 loss.
"We did what I wanted today in terms of coaching. And coaching had nothing to do with the outcome today. I was pleased from that perspective," Kelly said.
