"For women scientists, children are not the big mobility problem. It's their partner"
The EuroScience Open Forum (ESOF) has sessions of all sorts: presentations of cutting-edge scientific developments of all scientific areas, sessions on science policy, science to business, and also on science careers. I attended a session on new concepts of mobility to foster career development, and got involved in a discussion on the opportunities and challenges that women researchers face as a consequence of mobility. "When I got a job offer in a different country, my husband decided not to follow", one of the female researchers in the discussion group said. "Whereas when the man gets a job offer, it's still taken for granted that the woman will follow."
In fact, a study conducted by Stanford University on dual-career couples shows some shocking numbers: while 59% of women who have an academic partner considers both careers to be equally important, only 45% of men do. Furthermore, 50% of men stated their own career was the primary one, and only 20% of women did. A study performed by the European Molecular Biology Organization (EMBO) found a similar trend. So what can the scientific system do to make sure women are not facing yet another wall in advancing their career?
For Charikleia Tzanakou, a vibrant research fellow at the Unviersity of Warwick and former mobility work group leader at Eurodoc, there are clear steps an institution can take, like setting up dual career services to tackle the "two-body problem". Tzanakou wanted to raise awareness for this issue and organized a session at ESOF on dual career services for early career researchers. The Stanford professor Londa Schiebinger presented the earlier mentioned report on dual-career couples, and explained that American universities take a great deal of effort in putting in place attractive dual-career programs. For the institutions, it is a way to guarantee excellence, diversity and a high quality of life for their faculty. Many universities have specific policies for dual hiring and funding models in place to secure the second position. They signal dual-couple friendliness on their websites, and have a Vice Provost for Diversity. In the end, what counts is hiring the candidate with the highest quality, and Schiebinger notices that dual hiring is starting to become crucial even for PhD student candidates, and not only for professors.
But how is Europe dealing with this issue? Alexandra Zingg, project leader at swissnex Boston, works on the Euraxess Tandem project. The project analyzed the chances and risks of mobility for researchers in Europe, with a focus on female postdoctoral researchers. The state in Europe is bleak: most European institutions have no dual career services in place, although dual hiring is an important aspect for many young researchers.
The study shows that, unlike in the US, the challenges that most scientists face as a consequence of mobility in Europe are related to language and culture. Pioneering work on this issue is being done by the University of Copenhagen, which puts a great deal of effort into making the family of their international recruitees feel at home. Mark de Vos is responsible for the University of Copenhagen's Dual Career Spouse Network, but as he puts it: "We work with everybody, not just your spouse, also with your mother." All family members of scientists hired by the University get access to a program that includes information meetings, social events, individual counseling and career planning. Still, he has words of caution: "Don't move if both partners need a job immediately. It takes time to find a job, and then the partner that tags along will be disappointed".
In the end, dual career couples still need to compromise. But hopefully, more and more European institutions will realize how important it is to make themselves attractive for their candidates and start offering dual career services, which would make these compromises less dramatic. Women especially can benefit from these programs and stop putting their careers behind those of their partners.

I just received my C&R lisence today. It took about three weeks to get after sending in the paperwork.

That's pretty quick. I think you'll save a good bit of money shopping with the Cruffler's license.
January 19, 2007, 09:21 PM
Good to know. Make a copy, sign it and send it to MidwayUSA. You'll save plenty of money on reloading equipment once they set up a dealer account for you.
January 19, 2007, 10:50 PM
Rusty, now you have my hopes up. My check was cashed by the BATFE about 3 weeks ago...
I am out of reloading supplies and need to make a MidwayUSA order but am holding out for having my C&R account set up...

I just recently heard of the C&R licence. Would anybody be willing to tell the short story about what it basically is, why you would want one, and how much it costs?
I would LOVE to save a few $$$ on reloading stuff, especially as we see prices starting to climb.
-Thanks in advance
January 19, 2007, 11:12 PM
This might help some:
January 19, 2007, 11:53 PM
Anyone actually have a C&R in New Jersey? I keep hearing conflicting stories that you can't have them here. Honestly, I only want one to save money on supply and accessory purchases. I wouldn't use it to actually purchase C&R guns due to the laws here.
January 20, 2007, 05:48 AM
I don't know about New Jersey, but I know the BATF has a website that'll answer most of your questions or give you a phone number for your local BATF office, whom you can call and get answers to your questions. On this one and in in that state, it's better and safer to get the scoop right out of the horses mouth.
January 20, 2007, 11:48 AM
Any other companies offer a Discount for C&R?? I just sent mine in yesterday... GRAFS?? I think Brownells does...Any other company's??

I've thought about this for a couple reasons.....one of which is discounts from stores like Midway and another is, I'd like to get both a Garand and an AK.
how much did it cost you?
how long is it good for and what is renewal fee?
approx. what % off do outfits like Midway give for business accounts?
January 20, 2007, 02:23 PM
It cost $30 and is good for 3 years. I think the renewal is also $30.
January 20, 2007, 03:01 PM
Renewal is also $30. I just renewed mine this month.
January 20, 2007, 03:08 PM
What is the discount that Midway or others offer?
January 20, 2007, 11:47 PM
MidwayUSA discounts are very, very small; hardly worth the effort. Brownells discounts are significant and very much worth the effort but they don't have alot of stuff that MidwayUSA and others have. Also, be carefull about shipping; some places that ship for free don't do it if you buy with a C&R license.
January 21, 2007, 12:30 PM
Brownells offers a discount to any business (doesn't even have to be firearms related).
My wife has a hair salon and one day I had her order me some stuff. Ups shipping is a little cheaper if it is shipped to a business. The woman on the phone asked if it was a business and my wife told her it was. She then told the lady on the phone that it wasn't a firearms related business and the lady said it didn't matter.
Its to bad that they don't sell reloading supplies since it is a pretty good discount off their regular prices.

MECHANICSBURG — The following actions were taken at the Wednesday meeting of the Silver Spring Township Board of Supervisors:
- Approval was given to a $56,240 proposal from township engineer HRG to complete the design and permitting work for the Carlisle Pike drainage project. The developer of a proposed retail and restaurant complex at 6445 Carlisle Pike has offered to construct a storm water line. As a private construction project, the line would run east from the adjacent Lawrence Chevrolet business where a deep basin will be dug, and then jut underneath Carlisle Pike to the proposed Metro Bank construction site in front of the Kohl's department store, where a connection would be made. According to the agreement, the township will pay for the design and permitting work. The project is expected to fix problems of road flooding in that area. Permits approval is expected by the end of the year.
- Supervisors awarded a $59,458 bid for a sidewalk ramp and cross walk project on behalf of New Kingstown Vision to Doug Lamb Construction Inc. The project in the village will include the installation of stamped asphalt crosswalk improvements including milling, asphalt paving, thermoplastic products, concrete placement and relocated work at East Main Street intersections with New Kingstown Deli, Stephen's Church and Farmers Street.
- The villages of New Kingstown and Hogestown are on their way to receiving new historical markers that will include the name of the towns, a mileage marker to Carlisle and a history of how the town was founded.
- Parks and Recreation Director Jeff Williams and assistant director Kristy Owens presented the township with the "Most Innovative Special Event" award certificate, received recently from the Pennsylvania Recreation and Park Society in honor of the Willow Mill Park Fall Festival. Williams, who credited Owens' hard work, said this is the seventh consecutive year the township has received an award. Owens thanked all the people who get involved with the events each year, which makes them a success. The fall festival last year not only added new attractions, but focused specifically on breast cancer awareness.
- Supervisors approved employment of Caleb B. Inch as a full-time MS4/Public Works laborer at $14.50 per hour, and Joshua A. Feaser as a full-time Public Works laborer at $13.75 per hour. The following seasonal Public Works laborers were also approved: Ronald Belle and Roger Brunner, $11 per hour, and Robert E. Stailey, $10.50 per hour.

Lion population in Kenya could disappear in 10 to 20 years
Ryan King, special to mongabay.com
August 20, 2009
The dramatic declines in cats in Kenya and the rest of Africa are mostly a result of human population growth and conflict with livestock.
Wildlife biologist Laurence Frank explains, "Vast areas of Kenyan rangelands that held lions 20 years ago are now devoid of nearly all wildlife. Predators have been poisoned and speared, herbivores have been snared for meat, and the rangelands themselves have been destroyed by massive overgrazing by domestic stock." Other experts report that people commonly lace cattle carcasses with poison to kill entire prides, which also ends up poisoning many other predators and scavengers.
A crippling drought has been effecting Kenya, forcing increasing amounts of pastoralists to search for water and resources to support their livestock. This migrating pastoral population tends to exploit wildlife areas and out-compete natural inhabitants.
Frank insists, "Only drastic action on many fronts – policy change, effective law enforcement, giving rural people an economic stake in their natural heritage, and a great deal of investment – will prevent the loss of wildlife in Africa."

Africa's lion population is falling
An interview with lion researcher Leela Hazzah
(March 25, 2008) The lion is Africa's best known carnivore. Once widely abundant across the continent, recent surveys show that lion populations have plunged from over 100,000 individuals to around 23,000 over the past century. The reason for recent declines? Lions are poisoned, shot, and speared by locals who see them as a threat to livestock. While lion populations in protected areas remain relatively healthy, conservationists say that without urgent measures, lions may disappear completely from unprotected areas.

Fourth 'Dancing with the Stars' couple announced
CROWLEY – The Rotary Club of Crowley is proud to announce its collaboration with the Community Outreach Corporation and the Crowley Christian Care Center as they join together to present "Dancing with the Stars, in a Caring Way" May 4, 2013 at 7:30 p.m. at the Grand Opera House of the South.
The focus of this combined effort of fundraising is to provide for the needs of this area's small portion of the world through the efforts of the Community Outreach Corporation and the Crowley Christian Care Center.
These organizations fit together like the pieces of a beautiful puzzle and together they invite you to join them in a "caring way" as they present their very own version of "Dancing with the Stars."
The charity fundraising gala is being co-chaired by Emily Stoma and Mary Zaunbrecher. Brenda Core of The Core Dance Center is the chairwoman of the choreography team that has also generously donated their time and talent. Troy Breaux will act as financial chairman as well as silent auction chairman.
The inaugural event will feature 11 couples, the "Stars of Acadiana." Each week a new couple will be introduced to the public.
Dancing with the Stars is proud to announce the fourth couple and their choreographer selected to participate in this year's gala.
Mark Cullen: Cullen is CEO and president of Compass Health. He is married to Lynn Faulk and the father of Katherine, Alyssa, Ross and Jon Austin.
Kimberly G. Gattle: Gattle is married to Tommy and is the mother of Thomas and Mary Elizabeth. She is a graduate of LSU and is the executive director of the Grand Opera House of the South. Gattle is also employed in her family's business, Gielen Enterprises, and is the owner of Le Grand Hall.
Gattle finds great enjoyment in giving back to the community.
The choreographer for Cullen and Gattle is Lisa Johnson. Johnson is a graduate of LSU with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in dance. She is the mother of Alyse and Drake Lalande. She has over three decades of dance teaching experience and is a former dance studio owner and former adjunct faculty member at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette–teaching ballroom, jazz, tap, modern, rhythmic analysis for dance and aerobics. Johnson has performed with Moving South Dance Company locally and as a touring performer in Louisiana and Texas.
The success of this worthwhile event is based on raising money through sponsorship, ticket sales and voting for the couple of your choice to win the highly sought after mirrored ball and the title of inaugural "Dancing with the Stars" winner.
Tickets are can be purchased through the opera house by contacting Gattle at 785-0440. Tickets are $100 per seat and will include a cocktail party from 6:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m., attendance at the actual event and a silent auction. Tickets will be sold on a first-come basis.
A voting website will soon be finalized and established at www.crowleydancestars.com. There, people will be able to vote for the couple, or couples, of their choice in the near future. Votes are $1 each and can be cast through the website. They can also be cast through the dancer of choice directly or by giving the money for votes to Stoma or Zaunbrecher.
Sponsorship levels are also available by contacting Stoma or Zaunbrecher.
For more information, you can contact Stoma, 523.6044, or Zaunbrecher, 207.9789.

Fixing that bug revealed another one (and so on). It's taken a while to

I heard earlier today that named.exe had been running under stress test

Construction of horizontal trays in the existing conventional settling tanks was the first practical attempt to introduce the principles of shallow depth sedimentation. Tube and plate settlers provide shallow settling depths, stablehydraulic conditions, improved removal performance and/or higher loading rates. In them, detention time is measured in minutes rather than in hours as is the case in conventional sedimentation basins. The successful applications of the plate and tube settlers intreating raw waters of various qualities and sewage at different effluent stages, assure the practical soundness of the shallowdepth sedimentation. Optimum flocculation, overflow rate, raw water turbidity, length and inclination of the plate and tube settler dotinfluence the settling performance. The amount of sludge volume fraction in the liguid is an important factor in selecting the type of lamella separator. The experimental investigations of this study show that the results obtained from column settling of the flocculated watercan be used as basis to design the tube settling unit. /Kir09

Tiny Price - Trendy Kreuzberg
Size18 m²

There is a bunk bed, a single bed, and a sofa bed for 2 persons.
The room is private but shares the bathroom with another room on the same floor.
The accommodation is located in the famous district of Kreuzberg. While Berlin was divided, this neighborhood was a border area of West Berlin, where the rents were low enough to attract artists, dropouts and immigrants. For this reason, Kreuzberg has been known ever since for its multicultural flair and alternative subculture.
Night owls can enjoy the legendary `Kreuzberg nights' especially in the area around Mehringdamm, Bergmannstraße and in the Oranienstraße. In Kreuzberg you will find clubs like 'SO36', 'Watergate' (both less than 10 min by foot) or 'SchwuZ': this area has something to suit everyone's taste.
The Görlitzer Park is a beloved summer meeting place for young people. It is just around the corner.
If you want to chill out, the 'Victoriapark' is a popular relaxation area in in the western part of the district. Here you will find the eponymous Kreuzberg Hill, from where you can enjoy a fantastic view. During the summer, an artificial stream flows down from the top in the form of a waterfall.
Kreuzberg is well connected to the neighboring districts through the U-Bahn lines U1, U2, U6, U7 and U8, and the S-Bahn lines S41 and S42 (circle line). Unlike the eastern districts there is no tram network.
The neighbors are very happy when it's quiet in the yard from 22 clock.
Smoking is not allowed in the guesthouse. You can smoke in the backyard.
Wifi is free. PLEASE NOTE: Germany is very strict chasing people who download content illegally and apply heavy fines. Please don't! We would like to keep the internet open for our guests.

If you want to find the real taste of Berlin there is no better place to stay! It's not an anonymous hotel but clean and cosy place to chill. The central location allows you to go out whenever you want - U-Bahn line lets you go for the remote part of the city but there are many nice cafes and pubs nearby. The very friendly atmosphere created by the host fulfill the overall positive opinion. I hope it was a first but not last time I stayed there. Have a nice stay at freiraum!
Super angenehmer Aufenthalt. Schöne, saubere Zimmer in bester Umgebung, mitten in Kreuzberg. Sehr empfehlenswert, einfach und günstig.
Super Lage, blitzsauber, hervorragende Kommunikation, sehr freundlich- sehr zu empfehlen! Jederzeit wieder, vielen Dank!
The apartment was exactly what we required and comfortable but basic, with lots of space. The kitchen is fairly well stocked with utensils. The office were really helpful and communicated back quickly. The area was nice too, very alternative but good to get into the centre. The apartment was very close to a metro station and lots of places to eat. I would recommend if you are looking for somewhere to use as a base.
Very nice apartment with a large common space and a kitchen.
Quiet and very clean.
Close to the underground (line U1).
Very helpful and friendly staff. The apartment has a nice size but is a bit run down. However, that is easily forgotten because of the absolutely perfect location in Kreuzberg. What a wonderful neighbourhood. Wi-fi was perfect.
The apartment and the location were both good, everything was clean and tidy indide, and Ivos was always very nice. He even picked up us from the airport at a very good fare as we arrived very late at night, and explained everything clearly and gave us a lot of recommendation. I would likely choose it again
1. Great location (right next to underground)
2. Great view
3. very nice owner
1. Small studio
2. Sofa bed didn't open up and the single bed not very comfortable for sleeping

McDowell rolls into PIAA quarterfinals
SLIPPERY ROCK -- Snowflakes caked Mihalik-Thompson Stadium throughout Saturday afternoon's PIAA Class AAAA first-round football game.
James Conner, Khyre Drayer and McDowell's offensive line did all they could to clear away each of them. While that didn't happen, they settled for avenging previous playoff losses to State College.
Conner and Drayer combined to run for 303 yards and five touchdowns in the Trojans' emphatic 42-0 victory at frigid Slippery Rock University. After the game, McDowell coach Mark Soboleski briefly huddled the players to tell them they just completed their best all-around performance in his eight seasons there.
"I'm so proud of this team and the way they practiced all week," Soboleski said.
"That was one of the best physical efforts we've had since I've been here. Both sides of the ball, we were as physical as we've been all season," Soboleski said.
It is a season assured of lasting at least one more week.
McDowell takes a record of 7-5 into its first state quarterfinal since 2004. The District 10 champion will make an even longer trip down Interstate 79 to Harmony to face North Allegheny, the state's top-ranked AAAA program, in that game.
The Trojans and Tigers, who met as WPIAL opponents in 2010 and 2011, will clash Friday at Seneca Valley High School. Kickoff is scheduled for 7 p.m.
Conner should be thawed out by then. The senior running back was still chilled long after he departed Saturday's action.
Before that, Conner found himself roaring through the Little Lions' defense. The University of Pittsburgh recruit carried a bevy of tacklers during some of his 20 carries as he finished with 213 yards.
"It was like backyard football, playing in this snow," Conner said. "It wasn't fun once it got too cold (in the fourth quarter), but other than that I liked it."
Conner carried a State College player into the end zone for his first touchdown, an 11-yarder that gave the Trojans a 14-0 lead early in the second quarter. He scored one play after McDowell defensive lineman Riley Dunbar recovered a fumbled snap by State College quarterback Pat Irwin.
It was one of three turnovers recorded by the Trojans, who held the Little Lions (9-4) to a miniscule 41 yards in offense.
Ryan Goeke, State College's leading rusher, finished with 19 yards, while Irwin, who had thrown for more than 1,400 yards this season, completed one pass for 1 yard.
"We watched so much tape on them this week that it feels great to not let them score on us," Dunbar said.
Conner concluded his huge first half, in which he ran for 198 yards, with a 9-yard touchdown that made it 21-0 in the final minute. His third score, an 8-yarder that made it 35-0 Trojans in the third quarter, was his last carry.
Drayer joined Conner on McDowell's sideline in the fourth quarter once the mercy rule was in effect. He ran for 88 yards, with the first 29 coming on a touchdown run less than 2 minutes into play.
Reserve back Dylan Ukasik also contributed 32 yards and scored McDowell's final touchdown.
The Trojans enjoyed postgame pizza and chicken wings before they returned home to prepare for North Allegheny, which remained perfect (13-0) with Friday night's 21-14 win over Woodland Hills in the WPIAL AAAA title game at Heinz Field in Pittsburgh.
"We watched them (on television Friday) and they're as impressive as they've ever been," Soboleski said of North Allegheny. "They're a great program and we're honored to be at this point. We want to do our best all (next) week to play them."

DLLR Immediately Suspends Eleven Maryland Mortgage Broker Licenses
Financial Regulation Commissioner Uses Provision of Law for First Time
BALTIMORE (2-15-08) Department of Labor, Licensing and Regulation Secretary Thomas E. Perez today commended Financial Regulation Commissioner Sarah Bloom Raskin for her swift action in the summary suspension of eleven Maryland mortgage broker licenses.
Commissioner Raskin determined that Florida based Superior Mortgage Group, LLC was in violation of several statutes of the Maryland Mortgage Lender Law, and immediately suspended all eleven licenses. Commissioner Raskins action requires that Superior suspend any further business prior to a hearing.
Gloria Freifeld, owner of Superior Mortgage Group, LLC, had applied for and received all eleven licenses between May of 2006 and October 2007. The Financial Regulation Enforcement Unit received specific information alleging that Gloria Freifeld had knowingly falsified information on her application for the licenses.
The investigation revealed that Ms. Freifeld misrepresented her experience in the mortgage lending business and did not qualify as a broker. Furthermore, the investigation uncovered that Ms. Freifeld made material misstatements regarding her experience and qualifications on the Maryland mortgage lender application.
This is the first summary suspension of a license by this office, said Commissioner Raskin. I found this emergency action necessary to promote the public welfare and protect Maryland consumers.
While the summary suspension of Superiors Maryland Mortgage broker licenses are immediate, Superior may request a hearing within the statutory time limit. A request for a hearing, however, will not stay the summary suspension of the licenses.

A Fighting Chance
Drawing Strength from His Family's Love, Talk Show Host Montel Williams Vows He'll Never Give in to MS
Despite the fact that Manhattan's Unitel 53 Studio has a professional caterer on staff, its best-known tenant, talk show host Montel Williams, 43, usually arrives at work with a small brown bag of nectarines and fruit juice, lovingly packed by his son. To hear Williams tell it, it is one of the small and unexpected blessings following the Aug. 23 press conference in which the 6'2" former Marine and Naval officer disclosed that he is suffering from the debilitating neurological disease.
"At one point I said, 'Little man, do you think Daddy's going to die?' " recalls Grace, 35, Williams's wife of seven years, as she sits in the wood-paneled study of their palatial Greenwich, Conn., home. "And my son said, 'Oh, you mean from MS? No, he's not going to die from MS and not going to end up in a wheelchair.' I asked him how he knows that. Did God tell him? He said no. When I asked how he knew, he said, 'Because I looked with my own eyes.' "
In the days since Williams stood before the cameras with Grace and tearfully announced that "this disease will not stop me," he has been deluged with nearly 100,000 e-mails and letters from fans and fellow sufferers in a touching display of concern and support. "They just kept pouring in, saying, 'Our prayers are with you,' " says Williams. "And the day I got the first comment about people praying for me, that is when the weight lifted. Maybe it is the power of my mind. Maybe it is the power of remission. But my pain really kind of dissipated."
While the 350,000 Americans who suffer from MS face a bewildering array of symptoms ranging from tremors to virtual paralysis, today, as Williams bounds up the stairs of the studio where he tapes six nationally syndicated shows a week, he shows few outward signs of his incurable ailment, a poorly understood condition in which the body's immune system attacks the protective covering around its own nerves. Celebrities including Annette Funicello, Richard Pryor and Laverne & Shirley's David Lander have all suffered the visible ravages of MS, but in Williams's case, "I would never have known he was sick until he confided in me," says his manager for the past five years, Melanie McLaughlin. "He has superhuman energy."
People with MS have a nearly normal life expectancy but still endure terrible symptoms. Williams sporadically feels tingling in his feet, weakness in his left leg and an occasional loss of balance that causes him to bump into walls and objects. He had his first flare-up in 1980—years before his condition was diagnosed. During the past 10 years, his severe symptoms appear to arrive at two-year intervals, around February or March, and usually last for several months. By now he has come to grips with the unpredictability of MS. "You may have the best day or eight great hours," he says, "then all of a sudden, bam! I'll trip and fall, and the pain will be back."
On the hopeful side, Williams's physician Dr. Michael Olek, of the Harvard MS Center, says his patient "is doing really well. On our disability scale, he is 2 out of 10, with 10 the worst. His progression is slow." And since Williams's symptoms have not progressed rapidly, "the odds are that he is not going to wind up in a wheelchair." And that is important to Williams. "When this disease knocks you down, you don't always come back," he says. "That scares me. I have four children. I want to walk my daughters down the aisle, and I don't want to do it with a cane."
Hoping to forestall the disease's sporadic attacks, doctors recently put Williams on regular injections of one of three FDA-approved drugs designed to slow the disease's progression. The most difficult aspect of this, he says, came when a visiting nurse arrived to show him how to inject himself. "She came with all these bottles with skulls on them and a big hazardous-material container to discard my stuff in after I use it," he says. "I thought, 'Isn't there another way to do this?' That day I wept. It was tough."
Since 1994, Williams has also been taking alternative hormone therapy developed by Dr. Edmund Chein of Palm Springs, Calif., a self-described specialist in rehabilitative medicine. Though most mainstream physicians do not endorse the regimen, it is "relatively benign, so I'm not that concerned," says Dr. Olek. Beyond medical treatments—traditional or otherwise—Williams never lacks for encouragement. Earlier this month his boss at Paramount's television division, Bobbee Gabelmann, announced that "as long as Montel wants to do his television show, that's how long we'll do it. He's not someone who I think any disease will stop."
Still, says Williams, his strongest support comes from his family: Grace, a former Las Vegas showgirl turned actress whom he began dating after they met during a taping of his show; their children, Montel II and Wyntergrace, 4; and Williams's children from his marriage to first wife Rochele—Ashley, 15, and Maressa, 10. Soon after learning of his diagnosis on March 15, Williams came face-to-face with his greatest fear: that both his career and his life would implode. Then, as always, Grace was by his side. "I said, 'If you want, you can leave me, because I am not going to be the man you married. I'm weak now,' " he recalls telling her tearfully.
Struggling to regain her own composure, Grace replied bluntly, "Listen, you selfish little bastard. Who do you think you are? There is a reason why you got this. The Man Up There picked you for a reason, and you should count it as one of your blessings. There are a lot of people out there who need you." After that, she says, "Montel said, 'You're absolutely right.' And that was strength for both of us."
Immediately after his diagnosis "there were some pretty long faces," recalls Dr. Wirt "Andy" Hines, a Salt Lake City plastic surgeon and one of Williams's best friends. "But he spent a lot of good quality time with Grace and found that he had a great ally and supporter. Together they had the attitude that they could whip the world. And a few days later Montel was figuring out how to educate the entire world about MS and turn this into something very positive."
In the eight months since, "Grace's the reason I'm able to get out of bed every morning," says Williams, sitting next to her in his study, which is decorated with memorabilia including photographs of Michael Jordan and autographed boxing gloves from Sugar Ray Leonard. "She's taken care of everything, allowing me to keep it together."
For her part, says Grace, "I don't think I'm so strong. I think it's just pure belief and love in this person I know. I know his courage and strength and heart, and I believe that what you put out in the world, you'll get back. Montel is who he is. He's just a person who is loved."
The two are beginning to reach a point of acceptance about what cannot be changed. Her husband "has had his moments," says Grace, "and I'm there for him. But when he has his pain, there's nothing I can do. I can try to take his mind away from it. But when he falls down the stairs, there's nothing I can do. And he will fall down those stairs."
Adds her husband: "Why should I be angry at God for this when he's given me so much? To whom much is given, much is expected. So I'm not going to complain about it. I don't want to get any worse, but if I can stay here, or get better, I'll be fine."
In the months since his announcement, Williams has struck back against MS with a vengeance. Maintaining a grueling workout schedule (he deadlifts as much as 375 pounds daily), he has also made plans to visit Stockholm's noted MS research center, the Karolinska Institute, as well as Johns Hopkins in Baltimore and the UCLA Medical Center, in his quest to "see everyone out there" for possible treatment.
Beyond looking out for his own health, Williams devoted his Oct. 25 show to discussing MS and is planning to produce two public-service announcements and an as yet unscheduled Hollywood MS fund-raiser. In August he founded the Montel Williams MS Fund, which has already raised more than $80,000, under the auspices of the Foundation for Neurological Diseases. "Where is my inspiration coming from?" says Williams. "Before learning I had the disease, I'd probably met 50 MS sufferers. I think about them a lot now. If everybody gave a dollar, this disease could go away, and your family would never have to suffer the pain I've been suffering."
Within days of Williams's announcement, the National Multiple Sclerosis Society's Web site was barraged with inquiries. "People with disability ask themselves, 'Why me?' " says the organization's president, Michael Dugan. "And when they find out that someone who is famous has something like MS, they better understand that they haven't been singled out by fate. Montel talking about MS has been helpful."
To Grace, her husband's resolve is just an extension of his fighting spirit. "Montel's nature is to help people, and now he feels he can," she says. "This disease is another mountain that he can climb to the top of, to look around and see who he can help." He won't have to look far. Since 1993, the so-called ABC drugs—Avonex, Betaseron and Copaxone—have demonstrably slowed down the progress of the disease as well as the severity and frequency of attacks. "MS is the most important cause of disability from a nervous-system disease in young adults," says Dr. Stanley van den Noort, chief medical officer of the National Multiple Sclerosis Society and a professor of neurology at the University of California at Irvine. But, he adds, "it is often a very subtle, difficult disease to recognize," in part because its symptoms can mimic such illnesses as lupus and Lyme disease.
For Williams, recognition finally came last spring. Over the years, the dizziness and sporadic pain and numbness he suffered had been diagnosed as everything from a pinched sciatic nerve to inner-ear infections. During a guest appearance in Utah for the series Touched by an Angel, "my feet and legs hurt so bad that I spent an hour crying. I could barely walk," recalls Williams, a part-time actor who has also appeared on JAG and Matt Waters. At first he blamed the pain on a new workout routine. But in March, after an MRI, Williams heard the definitive diagnosis: relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis, a form of the disease in which symptoms come and go, often years apart. "I didn't want to believe it," he says. "I didn't want to have it. But after all this time, after all these years of having things wrong with me, I now knew what the cause was."
If his diagnosis provided some sense of relief, it also presented a difficult decision: whether or not to go public with the news. It was not Williams's first encounter with serious illness. At 19, he was diagnosed with a condition known as gynecomastia. Doctors, fearing cancer, removed glands and muscles in his breasts; the condition ultimately proved benign. But with MS, "I feared people telling me I was weak, or not giving me another gig because I might have another bout [of the disease], or that my insurance would be too high," says Williams. "For a lot of people, I'm kind of like a rock. And from March until mid-July, the rock was chipping."
Ultimately, hoping to avoid becoming tabloid fodder, he decided, "I'd rather control this than have someone else control it." And so, on the night of Aug. 22, he sat down and broke the news to his younger children. "I just said, 'Daddy's sick right now, but I'll be okay,' " he recalls. " 'It can get worse. I don't know. When I get tired, it's not because I don't want to do it. It's just because I can't right now.' "
For the moment, Williams's promise to slow his pace seems little more than wishful thinking. "He has to keep working," says Grace knowingly, "because otherwise he'd get worse." But now, for relaxation, Williams can often be found tooling around his at-home 1/3-mile go-cart track with Montel II.
In retrospect, Williams—who grew up in Glen Burnie, Md., as the youngest of four children of Herman Williams, 68, now the Baltimore fire chief, and his wife, Marjorie, 67, a former nurse's aide—believes the first true symptoms of his MS struck in 1980, when, as a young graduate of the Naval Academy, he suddenly lost 60 percent of the vision in his left eye. The condition, which doctors now know can be triggered by damage caused by MS to the optic nerve, lasted only three weeks, but left him unable to see most colors until this fall, when, for reasons doctors cannot explain, he suddenly regained the ability.
No one knows how long the reprieve will last, but for now at least, Williams regards it as something of a miracle, and a portent of the good luck he is determined to have in conquering the enemy within. "I got to see the colors of fall foliage for the first time in 20 years," he says, adding wonderingly, "and I finally got to see the color of Grace's eyes."

I agree that most coaches would jump at the chance to coach for Detroit, but Holland is circling the drain. The last 4 years have been a string of abysmal signings and free agent acquisitions. He was handed the keys to the Cadillac with Yzerman, Lidstrom, and a host of other star players, and every year we've lost talent and replaced it with either imports / minor league players that don't live up to their billing or washed up free agents. Ken Holland gets way too much credit for the Red Wings' success. All of his "accomplishments" can be attributed to the talents and machinations of Mike Ilitch, Jim Devellano, Bryan Murray, Scotty Bowman, and Mike Babcock.
Was Holland supposed to decline the job because it was too good? I'll give you Bowman but Bryan Murray? c'mon . Sometimes the hardest jobs to do are when the expectations are as high as they are in Detroit. We've won a cup with him as GM and never missed the playoffs. If you don't like the guy that's fine but to strip the guy of any credit for anything he's done here is ignorant and well timed considering we just lost a game.

[QUOTE=Paleobird;943911]From my experience with fasting, the first 24 hours are the hard ones and the second day is a breeze, on top of the world euphoric even. I think that first day is when the metabolic alarm bells are ringing, OMG, there's no glucose what are we going to do OMG, OMG! The second day the body says, Oh, waddaya know, we have this fat here we could be burning, let's see if we remember how to do that. Ooooh, fat is yummy. Happy body.
So I think you would have to stay at it for another day to see the ketone readings go up.[/QUOTE]
Yes, but why would they go down?? I'm in no way ready to try a 2 day fast, and have been eating to my reduced appetite. I'm wondering whether eating less is stopping the ketosis process and if I need to eat to a schedule for a while.
Sorry - I'm using this forum to try to clarify things. I'm one of those people who don't know what I think until I write it down, lol.

The iconic sand-colored brick building in downtown Greeley that has served as a home to a varied and diverse set of activities in 90 years of history formally got a new role Friday night.
Waypoints Faith Community and Tower 21 held a dedication ceremony to officially mark the old State Armory building's new role as a church and headquarters for the nonprofit organization Tower 21, which works with people who are on probation, parole or work release and people struggling with addiction. About 50 people gathered at the building to remember its history, take a tour of the newly remodeled building and thank the volunteers who made it possible.
The original Armory building, 614 8th Ave., opened on Veterans Day in 1922, and for 37 years was a training and meeting site for the Colorado National Guard. It was then used as a Catholic Youth Center, housed the Greeley Boys Club, and finally was purchased by Grand American Enterprises of Boulder, which turned it into a bar.
Before it was a bar, it served as a makeshift morgue during a couple of the region's most infamous tragedies. It served that purpose in 1955 when an airplane exploded over Weld County, killing 44 people. When a train collided with a school bus on the outskirts of Greeley on Dec. 14, 1961, and killed 20 children, many of the bodies were brought to the armory.
Grand American Enterprises had several other restaurants with similar odd-antique motifs.
When they remodeled the building to make it match, they added oddities like a B-17 to the decor. They also added a gunboat, a hansom cab, old empty missiles and bombs and a huge billboard of a model in a bikini, advertising Coppertone tanning cream.
The restaurant and bar were closed on Dec. 31, 2006. The B-17 and other items were sold off, and the building was sold to the downtown real estate development firm Thomas & Tyler LLC. It sat empty for almost six years until Waypoints and Tower 21 signed the lease on April Fools Day to take over the building.
"Our goal is to have this be a place in which the city can come on the weekends, having concerts and different things that will all be sober activities," said Todd Welch of Waypoints and Tower 21 by phone before the event.
Welch said the Armory suits the mission of Waypoints and Tower 21.
"Partly why the Armory was so attractive is we can help save a building and redo it the same way that we're trying to save people and help them redo their lives," he said.

Soaring global food prices are now hurting millions of poor people according to Oxfam, which says food prices have ratcheted up last month.
Global food prices rose 40% between June last year and June this year, and the Food and Agriculture Organisation of the United Nations (FAO) has published its food price index which shows a sharp rise in June, after a steep increase in the price of sugar.
"In the last month, a significant contributor to the increase in sugar price is a 14% spike in global sugar prices due in part to a decrease in Brazil's production forecast," says Oxfam.
Its warned that the pressure to divert sugar into biofuels to offset high petrol prices has now pushed the price up artificially.
"Biofuel mandates are creating an inflexible demand for feed-stocks which drives up food prices."
"This steady climb in global food prices is hurting millions of poor people, many of whom already spend up to 80% of their income on food. The international community have been far too weak and slow in responding. The G20 and the Committee on Food Security need to tackle price volatility much more aggressively by phasing out biofuels targets, building up food reserves and improving transparency around food stock levels, so that we know what food is available in order to manage stocks accordingly", Oxfam's Food and Policy Advisor Thierry Kesteloot said.
A spike in food prices in 2008 pushed 100-million people into poverty according to Oxfam's study Growing a Better Future.
The 2011 hike has pushed another 44-million close to starvation.

I'm not sure what the 'right' way to install XR_C006 is but I used
os2serv that comes with csf144.
1) Unzip the fixpack to create the fix directory structure.
2) change to the folder with the os2serv.exe tool
3) at an os2 command prompt from that folder, use something like this:
OS2SERV P:\OS2SERV\CSF Q:\fixpack\XR_C006 R:
where P is the drive with the os2serv folders, Q is the drive with the
fixpack directories, and R is the drive with OS2 installed that you want
to service. You should theb get the os2serv pm window opening up with
the usual stuff for archive folders and drives to service.

Local unemployment numbers for November came out Friday, along with national, state and county numbers. All four indicators dropped in November.
The city's jobless rate in November for Santa Clarita dropped to 6 percent, from 6.3 percent in October.
The city's rate is down from 7.2 percent in November 2011, said Jason Crawford, manager of economic development and marketing.
"The number of unemployed in Santa Clarita continues to trend down," Crawford said. "With more businesses scheduled to open and expand in 2013, we will be seeing even more job opportunities to come."
Of all four unemployment rates, Los Angeles County saw the biggest change in unemployment figures for November dropping to 9.8 percent from 10.5 percent in October. A year ago the rate was 11.3 percent, according the state's Employment Development Dept.
California's unemployment rate also dropped to 9.8 percent last month, down from 10.1 percent in October. The biggest gains were in trade, transportation and utilities, followed by construction, information, financial activities, and leisure and hospitality.
And nationally, the November jobless rate dropped to 7.7 percent from October's rate of 7.9 percent. The national rate drop was 1 percentage point lower than a year ago.
In all, the jobless rate dropped in 45 states in November, according to data released by the Bureau of Labor Statistics Friday.
The ongoing drop in the jobless rate matched the consumer confidence rate which hit a five-year high in November. On Friday, however, the consumer sentiment index dropped to 72.9 in December, down from 82.7 in November, according to a report by the Associated Press.
Consumer confidence dropped because of uncertainty over the fiscal cliff, said Peter Newland, an economist at Barclays.
Despite the drop in the jobless rate nationally, there was a November increase of mass layoffs - where 50 or more workers are laid off. But the rise in mass layoff numbers was due primarily to the effects of Hurricane Sandy Oct. 29, on workers in New Jersey, New York, and Pennsylvania, the labor bureau reported.
There were 1,759 mass layoff actions in November involving 173,558 workers – an increase of 399 layoff actions from October.

It's not up to Les Miles, but he still wants to see Tim Tebow play.
Against his team, with two perfect seasons on the line Saturday.
The LSU football coach isn't alone. CBS wants him back for Saturday's top-five showdown because Tebow's return represents boffo television ratings. And Florida wants to improve its chances of repeating as national champ.
For Miles, it's merely a matter of wanting to see his opponent at its best.
"Tim Tebow is great for football and great for Florida," Miles said this week. "If he's healthy and capable, we'd love to play against him."
Suffering from a concussion sustained Sept. 26 at Kentucky, Tebow has become the most closely followed head case since Amy Winehouse's latest indiscretion.
Florida coach Urban Meyer says Tebow is "day-to-day." He does not yet have medical clearance.
Meyer knows that Florida is better served being patient and letting Tebow fully heal before returning him to action, whether that's this week or two weeks from now.
Because, truth is, this week doesn't matter. Florida has a mulligan.
If Florida loses a competitive game to LSU without Tebow, Florida will have lost because it didn't have its best player. It's a built-in excuse that will resonate with voters across the country.
If Florida loses a competitive game even with Tebow, the excuse will spin in a different direction. Either way, Florida has a loss to give.
That's not just my opinion. ESPN researcher Brad Edwards knows the BCS system as well as anyone. Two years ago, when LSU dropped a second regular-season game, he predicted the Tigers would get back in the national championship hunt with a win in Atlanta.It seemed laughable at the time ... until it happened.
"I don't think it matters whether Tebow plays," Edwards said. "As far as I'm concerned, every team in the SEC has one mulligan in the regular season."
What does that mean?
Simple: If you win the SEC title in Atlanta, you're going to play for the national title in Pasadena.
Look around the national landscape. BCS buster BYU has fallen, Pac-10 hopefuls USC, Cal and Oregon have been dinged, Big Ten favorites Ohio State and Penn State have blemishes and Boise State's schedule isn't strong enough.
"My opinion is that a one-loss SEC champ would be ranked higher in the final BCS standings than an undefeated Texas. So, with or without Tebow, Florida can survive a loss in this game," Edwards said.
History backs up the opinion.
"Don't forget that Urban Meyer has won two national titles in the last three years, and he lost a regular-season game to an SEC West team both times. He knows it's not over with one loss, which is one more reason why Tebow shouldn't be on the field if he isn't 100 percent."
No one knows that better than Meyer. With a mulligan for Florida, Tim Tebow can take his sweet time getting back.

This will be a good week to look at Mars. Roughly every two years the Earth laps its fellow planet, passing it up on the inside track of our smaller orbit. When this happens, Mars appears quite a bit brighter than usual, and also larger in a telescope.
There are actually two separate dates involved in this event. On Wednesday, Jan. 27, we make our closest approach to Mars for the year. It's not a particularly close passage, though. The orbit of Mars is noticeably oval rather than circular. Moreover, the Sun is not at the center of the orbit. Johannes Kepler taught us back in the 17th century that planets travel in orbits shaped like ellipses, not circles, and the Sun was at one focus of the ellipse, not at the center.
As a result, how close we come to Mars depends on where the Red Planet is in its orbit. Back in 2003, it was very close to its perihelion, its closest approach to the Sun. We came within about 35 million miles that year, closer than we've been in more than 50,000 years.
This time, however, we're nearly on the other side of the solar system. The space between our respective orbits is much greater. We won't get any closer than 61 million miles this time.
Still, Mars is looking more impressive than usual. All week it will very nearly match the brightest star in the night sky, Sirius, which is off some distance to the right of the planet. Go out any night now, and look for a bright reddish dot rising in the east.
I mentioned two dates. The second occurs when Mars is exactly opposite the Sun in our sky, an event called opposition. If you stretch out an arm and point to the setting Sun, then stretch the other arm out in exactly the opposite direction, it will be pointing at Mars on that date. Unless you're far out on the ocean, you won't be able to see both objects at the same time, however: the Sun sets some time before Mars rises.
Opposition occurs on Friday, Jan. 29, different from the date of closest approach because of Mars' non-circular orbit. You won't be able to detect any difference between the appearance of Mars between the two nights, unless you use a sensitive photometer or have eyes like Superman.
We have a bonus on Wednesday night. The Full Moon will be very close to Mars. Unfortunately, it's a mixed blessing: the glare from the Moon will tend to reduce the psychological impact of the planet, so I recommend also going out to look at Mars a few days before and a few days after closest approach just to see what kind of difference the Moon makes.
Because of this special event, the Department of Physics and Astronomy will host a free public open house at its rooftop observatory on Wednesday, Jan. 27, starting at 7:00 p.m. Planetarium presentations of the current night sky will also be given during the evening. If cloudy conditions prevent us from using the telescope, we'll still be presenting programs in the planetarium and other classrooms. You can get to the observatory via the elevator on the northwest corner of the Science Hall on the main Rowan campus. Campus maps are available at www.rowan.edu/map/. More information is available on the planetarium Web site, www.rowan.edu/planetarium/.
Keith Johnson ponders Mars and other fascinating celestial objects from within his celestial theater at Rowan University's Edelman Planetarium. You can send him cosmical questions at firstname.lastname@example.com. The star show "Bad Astronomy" is now playing in the planetarium theater, and also the laser light show "Laser Radiohead."

When I travel to Honolulu or San Francisco, I always head straight to the respective Chinatowns to savor fresh and authentic dim sum for breakfast.
Starting Friday, Mike's Restaurant in Wailuku will make dim sum fresh in house daily from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m., and the items are as good as it gets. While diners won't find any cart service, you will be brought small steamer baskets or small plates of exotic tastes.
Dim sum is a Cantonese term loosely translated as "dot heart." Taken with tea, it's a traditional Chinese meal that can be steamed or fried. Eaten as a snack, dim sum is the Far East version of tapas.

The Maui News / CARLA TRACY photo
Originally from Guangzhou, China, owner-chef Mike Xiao will launch his new line of dim sum for breakfast and lunch, starting Friday.
On a recent visit, owner Mike and Tina Xiao and their translator friend Sandra Ban-Martin brought out all manner of dim sum for us to try.
Originally from China, the couple have been on Maui for a while and do not need a translator anymore. But Mike was busy in the kitchen preparing the feast and Tina was working the front of the counter, where they also feature a daily lunch and dinner buffet in addition to a la carte offerings.
"Mike and his new chef are making all of this fresh, not bringing it in from the stores in Honolulu or San Francisco," said Sandra.
"One dim sum they'll make is juk, also called 'congee' or 'rice porridge.' You can have it plain or with duck egg, or topped with fish, beef or chicken."
The congee alone will keep me coming back for more. But the char siu bao was the freshest and fluffiest I've ever eaten - and the barbecue pork inside burst with savory and satisfying tastes.
Beef meatballs are made from scratch. The pot stickers are done in the Northern Chinese style as a dumpling filled with meat and cabbage. They'll also wow you with crispy spring rolls and crispy gau gee.
Lovers of spare ribs will want to order Mike's version topped with black-bean sauce. You also must try shaomai, steamed dumplings with pork and prawns stuffed inside. Roast-duck vermicelli and beef ramen take it all over the top in taste and texture. So do Chinese pancakes with green onions, and kau yuk dry mein. Kau yuk is braised and roasted pork, slow cooked until fork tender. It's like a Chinese spaghetti served on wide flat noodles with sauce. Prices are reasonable. Want to impress dinner guests? Order dim sum as takeout. Call Mike's at 244-7888.

BISHKEK, Kyrgyzstan - A parliamentary committee on Tuesday backed a deal that allows the United States to ship non-lethal military supplies through a Kyrgyz air base to Afghanistan - four months after the Central Asian nation ordered the eviction of U.S. troops from the base.
The accord to use Manas airport as "center of transit shipments" falls short of U.S. hopes of maintaining the facility as a full-fledged military air base. But it would provide a much-needed logistical support base as the U.S.-led coalition ramps up operations against the increasingly bold Taliban and al-Qaeda fighters in Afghanistan.
The deal was backed by the Kyrgyz parliament's defense committee and now goes to the full parliament for a vote - expected later this week.
Foreign Minister Kadyrbek Sarbaev told the committee that under the new agreement, rent for the base will increase to $60 million per year from the current $17 million.
U.S. officials at the embassy in the Kyrgyz capital, Bishkek, said they were unable to provide immediate comment on the deal.
President Kurmanbek Bakiyev stunned Washington in February by announcing that U.S. forces would be evicted from Manas, saying Washington wasn't paying enough and citing other concerns.
In addition to the annual rent, the base also contributes $150 million to the local economy every year through service contracts and aid packages and around 600 locals are employed there, according to U.S. officials.
U.S. Defense Secretary Robert Gates had said that Washington would be willing to pay more for use of the base, within reason.
With the Aug. 18 eviction date looming, however, Kyrgyz officials have suggested in recent weeks they might reconsider the decision.
The base's outgoing commander said that the past year has been the busiest year for the base because of the situation in Afghanistan. Col. Christopher Bence said last week that 189,000 personnel had been sent to and from Afghanistan through Manas in the past year. There were 6,370 flights from the base and it refueled aircraft with 204 million pounds (92 million kilograms) of fuel, he said.
At the same time, militants have stepped up attacks on the main route for U.S. military supplies to Afghanistan through Pakistan - although the military maintains this has little impact on its operations.
Strictly offensive missions out of Manas may be phased out under the new agreement, though observers doubt that the United States would wholly agree with that.
"At the moment, they are only talking about a transshipment of nonmilitary goods," said Paul Quinn-Judge of the International Crisis Group. "But I would not be surprised ... if there was eventually a cosmetic agreement that allowed the U.S. to fly its tankers out of there,"
Earlier this month, Afghan President Hamid Karzai appealed to Kyrgyzstan to let coalition forces continue using Manas.
U.S. forces have had access to Manas outside Bishkek since 2001. The base became even more important to the Afghan war effort after neighboring Uzbekistan evicted U.S. troops from a base there.
Bakiyev's announcement in February came hours after Moscow, which has long been wary of the U.S. presence in Central Asia, pledged more than $2 billion in aid, loans and investment for Kyrgyzstan. That led U.S. officials to suggest that Moscow pressured Bakiyev to kick out the Americans.
Russia also has an air base in Kyrgyzstan.
Analysts and opposition politicians have said in recent weeks that Russia might be linking its backing for the U.S. in Kyrgyzstan to other nettlesome issues in US-Russian relations, such as NATO expansion into former Soviet republics or U.S. plans for placing a missile defense shield in Central Europe.
"This decision tells us that the Kyrgyz government is not in charge of its own foreign policy, but is just a plaything in the hands of the Kremlin," Bakyt Beshimov, leader of the opposition Social Democrat party faction, told The Associated Press Tuesday.

In a sea of black, green and gold; several graduates stood out above the rest Saturday at the 125th Tiffin University commencement ceremony.
The academic attire worn by the graduates dictates the school and field of study. Caps and gowns have been used in America since colonial times.
Several graduates chose to decorate their mortar-bard cap for different reasons.
Article Photos
Savannah Harner, of Kansas, shows off the pink TU?dragon design on her cap Saturday afternoon.
Jasmine Johnson, of Toledo, earned her bachelor's of criminal justice degree. She decorated her cap to honor her sorority, Gamma Chi Alpha. She used the sororities colors pink, gray and white.
Johnson said she was happy to graduate Saturday: "I have been waiting a while."
Graduate Madeline Kane, of Lake Peekskill, N.Y., also is a member of the Gamma Chi Alpha Sorority.
"It's (been) exciting," she said. "It's nervewracking to think where I go from here."
Kane earned her bachelor's degree in criminal justice in forensic psychology. She said she hopes to pursue a career as a criminal analyst.
The cap Kane designed is to honor her sorority and lacrosse. Her team made the semifinals and was getting ready to leave for a game right after the ceremony.
Each cap represented a personal touch from the graduate. Natalie Verba, of Parma Heights, embellished her cap with her favorite character, Eeyore the donkey from "Winnie-the-Pooh." Verba earned her bachelor's degree in criminal justice.
The cap belonging to Kelly Mayer, of Troy, included pieces describing her patriotism with an Eagle and the American flag and the quote "the Flag stands for freedom and they can't take that away." She also represented her degree in criminal justice.
"As a terrorism and homeland security major, I wanted to represent America and criminal justice," Mayer said.
Mayer also was awarded the dean's award for completing 50 percent of her degree requirements with a 4.0.
"Its bittersweet," she said. "I was nervous, but now I am excited for the future."
A pink, and zebra stripped TU dragon was designed by Savannah Harner as a way to let her parents know where she was in the crowd.
Harner, from Kansas, earned a bachelor's of business administration degree in accounting and computer information systems. She said she is just excited to be done and is looking forward to getting a job.
Tiffin native Maureen Kurtz, created her cap with photos of friends that she had made over the years. Kurtz earned a bachelor's of business administration in accounting and finance.
"It is relieving being done," Kurtz said. "I've been ready!"

18 February 13
Registration for The Rowans Hospice Moonlit Memories Walk officially opened on Tuesday 19th February when the launch took place at Biscoes Solicitors offices in North End. Biscoes Solicitors is sponsoring the event for the sixth year and will once again be encouraging local people to take part in the biggest sponsored walk in aid of The Rowans Hospice.
The sixth Moonlit Memories Walk will take place on Saturday 22nd June starting at 11pm from Castle Field, Southsea. Participants have the choice of walking 12 miles or a shorter 6 mile route. The event is open to men and women over the age of 13. Under 16s must be accompanied by an adult.
Hannah Wilding, Events Fundraiser at The Rowans Hospice, said: "The Moonlit Memories Walk remains very popular and is the biggest fundraising event for The Rowans Hospice. The atmosphere and camaraderie amongst the walkers is amazing and everyone always enjoys the event. It is not a race and many people take their time to light a candle in the Portsmouth Anglican Cathedral in memory of someone special. Whether walking on your own or as part of a group, there is a team of volunteer marshals to support you around the route and to encourage you along the walk to finish and receive a medal.
"We are incredibly grateful to Biscoes who generously supports The Rowans Hospice by sponsoring this major event which means that all the sponsorship money raised by participants goes towards the cost of Hospice services."
First to register and taking part in the Moonlit Memories Walk for the first time was Mandy Riggs who will be walking with her sister and mum in memory of her father, Rob Smith, who died on 22 June 2012, exactly one year ago to the day. Rob had been a patient at The Rowans Hospice and Mandy and her sister, Nikki Hillier, and mum, Jackie Smith, want to fundraise to say 'thank you' for the care he received.
There are several ways to register to take part in the Moonlit Memories Walk 2013, either visit www.rowanshospice.co.uk/booking or click on the following link to download a registration form .
A Registration Form is also available from your local The Rowans Hospice shop or call Fundraising on 023 9223 8533.

today for the full version!
October 18, 2007, 11:39 PM
Because I have a Thunder and its relieable accurate and has lovely custom wood grips. It also the reason I spend a lot of time at http://bersatalk.com
October 19, 2007, 12:54 AM
I have and fondly handle a Bersa Thunder 380 DuoTone.
October 19, 2007, 01:32 AM
I can't really give you good information. I've got a Duo-tone Thunder 380 but have only held the CC version.
I voted for the regular version simply because I hate finger grooves and the sights were way too small for my tastes.
I suppose if I wanted a gun to conceal then I'd pick the CC, but currently I don't concealed carry and the Thunder 380 is one of my house and range guns.
October 19, 2007, 03:09 AM
I don't remember where I read it but the review said the Thunder CC wasn't anywhere near as good or reliable as the Thunder.
October 19, 2007, 06:50 AM
I really like the T380 duo tone. The gun is very accurate and reliable. It has been my main carry gun this summer.
Ala Dan
October 19, 2007, 07:16 AM
Definitely, the Bersa Thunder .380~! :scrutiny:;)
October 19, 2007, 10:23 AM
One of my favorite guns.
October 19, 2007, 10:43 AM
They are really two different guns for different purposes to me and they each perform their missions admirably. The Thunder may be more fun at the range due to it's better sights, but the CC is (obviously) the choice for CC. As to a prior post, my nickel CC is every bit as reliable as my Duo-tone Thunder.

October 19, 2007, 12:24 PM
I own both and found that the original versions perform better than the CC. I like the sights better on the originals. Granted the low profile/low snag sights on the CC are better for a holster and cc environment, and its true that in a close range engagement, it may not make a whole lot of difference, I think you can become far more proficient with the traditional three dots than the low snag setup. The difference in size of both guns is marginal. I got the CC version because I'm a diehard Bersa collector. I think they are a TREMENDOUS value for the money, I own the .40SW Firestorm, the .45ACP Ultra, and the 9mm high cap, but the traditional 380 versions are still my favorite. They are exceptional PPK/Makarov clones. For under $300, there is simply no better value for the money. Again, both are excellent, but if you only had to choose one, I'd go for the original .380 versions with the full sights and grip extension mags.
October 19, 2007, 04:48 PM
I've owned the Thunder and shot a friend's CC. If I do it over again, which I will when Bersa starts doing their .380's in stainless, I'll get the CC.
October 19, 2007, 05:10 PM
I don't think you can buy a better .380 than the Bersa. They just plain work, period.
October 21, 2007, 07:32 AM
Few people will have both, obviously. I have the Thunder .380 in nickel. It is the cheapest/best small arm I have.
I have read a few negs about the CC.
October 21, 2007, 05:34 PM
After looking at both I decided to go with the nickel thunder 380 since it fit my hand better than the cc. The first 50 rounds of fiocchi at the shops range 5 of them jammed going up the feed ramp. After oiling seemed to work OK. Went today and put another 50 fiocchi and 100 winchester rounds through it and still jammed about every 10th or 12th shot even after being cleaned and oiled between magazines. I have seen so many good reviews on this gun I wonder if I got a lemon??
