Talk About a Golf Hazard
This story is not about alligators on fairways, or bee swarms attacking golfers, or even irate golfers chasing each other with menacing 3-irons. In one of the more unusual instances of golf course hazards, workers have encountered some explosive situations while rebuilding a St. Louis (Mo.) golf course.
The workers have been renovating one of the layouts at Forest Park in St. Louis during the past six months. During the course of their work, theyve unearthed three unexploded World War I mortar shells.
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, which usually handles matters related to wetlands and riparian areas along rivers, say the mortars resemble a small-car muffler. Workers have been cautioned to notify police if a suspicious object is found.
The Corps said that as early as 1917, the Army conducted military exercises and demonstrations in Forest Park. The shows included mock battles, which may explain why the mortars are on the golf course. It looks like the Army was serious when it executed flop shots in the early 1900s.

U.S. Rep. Glenn Thompson, R-Howard has a big problem with proposed legislation its supporters claim will reduce global warming and promote clean energy.
The American Clean Energy and Security Act, he said, does little to help the environment while ignoring dependable and job creating energy resources such as coal and oil.
The bill is expected to come up for a House vote as early as next week.
Thompson said the legislation will introduce higher unemployment and less reliable energy.
"They want to push solar and wind," he said. "The science is not there yet. It's not even close. Those two combined make up less than 1 percent of energy needs."
U.S. Rep. Chris Carney, D-Dimock, gave less than a glowing endorsement to the legislation as well.
"It's time for the United States to lead the world in innovative environmental technologies and renewable energy," he said in a prepared statement. "For too long we have failed to address our dependence on foreign oil and the mounting problem of greenhouse gas emissions. That said, I have serious concerns regarding the proposed legislation in its current form. Surely we can find a way to address these critical issues without burdening hard-working Americans with a tax increase and without passing along increased energy bills to consumers. Increased energy costs would be a devastating blow to families across Northeastern and Central Pennsylvania, especially now as we are all struggling to turn our economy around."
Thompson called instead for tapping the nation's vast natural resources, including the natural gas reserves found in the 17 counties that comprise his 5th Congressional District.
He noted that Spain in recent years adopted a similar cap and trade measure of embracing alternative energy, which resulted in higher unemployment.
"For every green job (created), they lost 2.2 manufacturing jobs," he said.
The American Energy Alliance, a Washington, D.C.-based nonprofit advocacy group has spoken out against the legislation, claiming it will significantly raise electrical rates for families and businesses. The group's spokesman, Pat Creighton, said it would result in a net loss of 66,000 jobs in the state by 2020.
The legislation has the support of PennEnvironment, a statewide citizens advocacy group, which says it lays the groundwork for investing in wind and solar energy sources that won't run out, do not harm the environment, only grow cheaper over time, and create jobs.
Thompson said incentive-based initiatives should instead be used to protect the environment.
Such provisions would include tax credits for use of alternative fuels; cash incentives for innovative technologies, research and development, and application of renewable energy resources; and authorization of an accelerated regulary process for new nuclear reactor applicants.

International Parliament of Writers
The International Parliament of Writers (IPW) was created after an appeal launched in July 1993 by 300 writers from all over the world, in reaction to the increase of writers assassinations in Algeria. The signatories of this appeal affirmed the need for a new international structure capable of organizing a concrete solidarity with persecuted writers, in the form of a Cities of Asylum Network. Today the network is composed of about 25 cities primarily in Europe and in Latin America and Africa. The first United States city of asylum is Las Vegas. So far, the IPW has been able to offer about forty residences to authors from Algeria, Cuba, Iran, Iraq, Kososvo, Nigeria, Serbia, Sierra Leone, Uzbekistan, Vietnam, and Yemen. The artists and writers accommodated within the Network of Cities of Asylum are designated by the International Parliament of Writers, based on enquiries carried out by the observatory of Freedom of Creation in Barcelona (created by the IPW), in collaboration with an international network of contacts. The IPW also decided to defend the freedom of creation wherever it is threatened, and to undertake investigation and research on the new forms of censorship.
The IPW was created on June 27, 1994 and elected Salman Rushdie its first president. Wole Soyinka served as its second president. Russell Banks was named the third president. IPW is a non-profit organization. The publication of their annual review, AUTODAFE, is a collaboration between various publishing houses around the world: Seven Stories Press in the US, Anagrama in Spain, Agra in Athens, Denoel in France, and Feltrinelli in Italy. The review aims to be a place for debate and experimentation. It will consist of reports, interviews, correspondence, and narratives by IPW members and writers living in asylum, with common themes of censorship, of the interdict of language, the criminalization of fiction, and the censorship effects of globalization.

In a family study of a large community sample, Klein et alArticle report that the first-degree relatives of adolescents with major depressive disorder (MDD) had elevated rates of MDD and dysthymic disorder, but not of most nonaffective disorders. In contrast, relatives of adolescents with anxiety, substance use, and disruptive behavior disorders tended to have elevated rates of those disorders, but not MDD. These findings indicate that adolescent MDD runs in families, and that there is considerable specificity in the familial transmission of adolescent psychopathology.
A commentary by Harrington is included.Article
Heaton et alArticle longitudinally administered a comprehensive neuropsychological test battery to schizophrenic outpatients and normal controls, and found no evidence of progression of deficits in the entire schizophrenia group or in subgroups defined by baseline level of impairment, duration of follow-up, duration of illness, current age or age at illness onset, change in clinical symptoms, or incident tardive dyskinesia.
In a controlled twin study in monozygotic and dizygotic twins discordant for schizophrenia, Baaré et alArticle tried to disentangle effects of risk for schizophrenia and the effects of the illness itself on brain morphology as measured with 3-dimensional magnetic resonance imaging. The results indicate that increased genetic risk to develop schizophrenia is related to reduced brain growth early in life. The manifestation of the disorder, however, seem to be related to neurodegenerative processes that are most likely nongenetic in origin.
In a large epidemiological study, Wahlbeck et alArticle discovered that people who developed schizophrenia had mothers with a lower late-pregnancy body mass index, were small at birth, and remained lean during primary school when compared with people who did not develop schizophrenia. The study shows that indicators of intrauterine and childhood undernutrition are associated with an increased lifetime risk of schizophrenia.
From a community sample, Young et alArticle interviewed adults with probable major depression, dysthymia, generalized anxiety, or panic disorder. Although most people with a disorder saw some health care provider, fewer than one third received potentially effective psychotherapy or medication.
Children with velocardiofacial syndrome due to a deletion on chromosome 22q11.2 are at increased risk for developing schizophrenia and cognitive impairment. Eliez et alArticle show that parental origin of the deleted chromosome 22 influences development of cerebral gray matter, with a selective decrease only in subjects with a maternally derived deletion. This finding suggest that a potentially imprinted gene involved in cerebral gray matter development and maturation is encoded in the deleted region. Therefore, parental origin of the deletion could be the first predictive factor of brain development and neurobehavioral outcome in children with velocardiofacial syndrome.
Light therapy combats winter depression, but the effect of its timing has been controversial. Terman et alArticle measured phase shifts of the circadian melatonin rhythm after treatment. The antidepressant response to morning light was markedly enhanced with phase advances of 1.5 hours or more, which occurred with light (30 minutes at 10 000 lux) about 8.5 hours after melatonin onset or 2.5 hours after the midpoint of sleep when patients were depressed. Remission rate fell by half under evening and later morning light. It is suggested that treatment be scheduled in circadian time rather than clock time.
One night of sleep deprivation transiently cures half of all depressed patients. Orth et alArticle report that major depression is associated with a unique thyroid disorder: the gland is resistant to thyrotropin, the pituitary hormone that regulates thyroid secretion. While their thyroid hormone levels are normal, sleep deprivation responders have increased serum concentrations of normal thyrotropin, and nonresponders have normal concentrations of superactive thyrotropin.
In a representative sample of the Dutch population, Sandfort et alArticle show that in homosexual men, rates of mood and anxiety disorders are substantially higher than in heterosexual men. In homosexual women the prevalence of substance use disorders in particular is higher than in heterosexual women.

When Painter met with rising sophomore center A.J. Hammons—a microcosm of that Boilermaker team, with his inconsistent play—his message was a bit more direct.
"He pretty much told me to grow up and do what I need to do," said Hammons on Wednesday, recalling the April meeting with his head coach.
Hammons' first season will be defined by its moments. There were lows, like when he missed the bus to a game against Northwestern, and also highs, like posting 19 points and 13 rebounds off the bench in that game. His emotions were released in spurts—see the emphatic dunk during a 37-point loss to Indiana as an example. Still, Hammons lacked the motivation to reach his potential.
After meeting with Painter this spring, Hammons was sparked to improve in the offseason. But that feeling didn't last long.
"It stuck with me for a second," Hammons said. "But then I forgot it."
It wasn't until Hammons returned to West Lafayette in May, after a few weeks at home, where it began to click.
While Hammons was home in Gary, his brother, Tyrone, offered words of encouragement for his offseason. Older brother lectured A.J. like a coach. But it was the support from family which stuck with him more than anything.
"I just don't want to let him down," A.J. said of his brother. "He's got so many expectations. He just wants me to do well. … I'm just trying to make it better for him and my mom."
And that's the motivation for A.J. Hammons. He wants to make his family proud.
When Hammons began his offseason training in May, he had a brief lapse in judgment and the work ethic wasn't there. But Hammons found motivation in his family.
"I kind of noticed my immaturity, which I really needed to work on," Hammons said.
Hammons went to work—harder than ever before. His focus was on losing weight and adding muscle, all while adding some go-to post moves.
Now four months into the offseason and Hammons has dropped 25 pounds, putting his 7-foot frame at 252 pounds. He's slimmer and more athletic—much more able to get up and down the court. That's the biggest difference from his freshman year.
In workouts, he followed the lead of Jay Simpson, Purdue's workhorse.
"I was just seeing the way [Simpson] was working so hard, losing weight getting stronger," Hammons said. "It inspired me to keep going hard, too."
When Hammons took shortcuts in workouts, Travis Carroll, the Boilermakers' senior leader, was there to push him.
"Anytime I'm ready to quit, [Carroll] was always there pushing me," said Hammons.
In June, Hammons traveled to Colorado to take part in the World University Games camp—one of a select group of American college basketball players given a chance to make the team. His tryout ended early due to a family issue. However, during his time in competition, he impressed against the game's best.
Iowa forward Aaron White, one of the big men he went up against in camp, was among those who noticed Hammons' more athletic build.
With a lighter, more able body, Hammons is able to bring a bit more hustle to his game. However, even he acknowledged that comes internally. This season, he has a new approach to the game.
"No plays off," Hammons said," really, which is hard for me, because I'm used to taking plays off. But I'm working at it."
As a freshman, Hammons came to Purdue with NBA potential, but didn't meet that standard.
It's a new year and a new Hammons. This time around, he hopes to lead the Big Ten in blocked shots—that after finishing second, just six blocks behind Wisconsin's Jared Berggren. But his team goal is more important than any personal stat.
"I just want to win," he said.
Hammons hasn't reached full maturity; that's something even he willingly admitted. He is still a jokester with teammates and a prankster in the locker room.
"I think I grew up a good 70 percent," Hammons said with a smile.
But the new-look A.J. Hammons will be on full display when the season starts. He's all business.

by Al Ristori
Prospects weren't bright before dawn Sunday morning as Matt Calabria of Hazlet, Nelly Greer from Pa., and I sailed with Chuck Many of Annandale aboard his Tyman from Gateway Marina in Highlands. We wore wool caps and were squeezing hand warmers to ward off the unseasonable cold from a gusty northwest wind, but Many was determined to kick off bunker fishing for stripers in Raritan Bay.
Thanks to Calabria's expert castnetting on small readings, we loaded the live well and a cooler with about 100 bunkers before heading across rough bay waters to seek fishing shelter in the lee of Staten Island. We never made it there as Many had good readings in the middle of Raritan Bay, and our live bunkers were immediately attacked. Though Many moved around several times, we never stopped getting hits for long the rest of the day.
After most of our bunkers were gone, I started casting a white Tsunami Deep Shad that had been on my spinning rod since fishing in the ocean early last winter -- and did even better with that lure. Many had to get Calabria in for work by mid-afternoon when we left them biting with the striper count at 95. Except for possibly a couple of those caught on jigs, all of the bass were of keeper size. Calabria retained two, but 93 were released.
The last time I remember having fishing in the bay even close to that was many years ago when Tony Arcabascio was fishing with bunkers out of Great Kills. The manufacturer of Tony Maja Fishing Products called it "stupid fishing" when it got so good that anglers with no knowledge of structure could simply look at their fishfinders to drop on concentrations of stripers -- and that's exactly what it was like Sunday.
Since the spring run in Raritan Bay had been declining for years, and last year was particularly poor, Sunday's massive influx was an indication that the Hudson River spawning stock is in good condition. Indeed, it was the best volume fishing for quality bass I've ever experienced in the bay. The only thing we lacked that day were the 30-pounders Many really wanted. Calabria had a 22-pounder on bunker, and I matched that with my last bass on the Tsunami shad before heading in, but there were lots of 15-to-20-pounders.
It would have been unlikely for Many to be able to duplicate that fishing when Calabria and I returned Wednesday after two days of northeast winds. Bunkers were even harder to net, and fish marks in the bay were more scattered. Furthermore, the bass weren't hitting live bunkers with much enthusiasm. I actually did better by blind casting the Deep Shad to catch seven on that lure as we drifted areas with scattered marks to end with 19 releases of bass from 31 inches up to 18 pounds. That would ordinarily be fine fishing if we hadn't been spoiled by Sunday's amazing action. A negative note was that one of Many's bunkers got cut in half -- the first sign we've seen of bluefish in the bay.
Fishermen using clams in the bay have also been doing well with stripers. Capt. Rob Semkewyc reported good morning action yesterday with more shorts than he's been seeing on his Sea Hunter from Atlantic Highlands before keepers turned on around noon.
Capt. Vinny Vetere, of Katfish in Great Kills, had a report of at least one jumbo bass in the bay as a friend released a striper in the 50-pound class that hit a Stretch plug trolled in Raritan Reach. Hopefully, other anglers will give the same consideration to the future of the fishery. Those larger bass with rounded bellies are invariably females loaded with roe, and should be released to spawn within a few weeks in the Hudson.
Captains Fletcher Chayes and Lou Grazioso found striper fishing to be tougher yesterday for Tank Matraxia's party from Lyndhurst on Riverman from Bahrs in Highlands. Raritan Bay was very rough in the morning, though it settled in the afternoon. Matraxia put an ALS tag into a keeper bass, and two others were retained as two were trolled and one hit clams. Rob DeYoung caught the first sea robin reported this spring. Chayes had hot afternoon jigging during the northeaster on Monday and Tuesday when the wind and tide were together.
For updated fishing reports visit my daily blog at nj.com/shore/blogs/fishing.
The Sportsmen's Center on Route 130 in Bordentown will hold two free fluke fishing seminars Monday between 7-to-9 p.m. Capt. Steve Horvath from Delaware Valley Outdoors TV will cover deep water wreck fishing, and Fisherman magazine reporter Bob Misak discusses fluke fishing from the beach, jettties, inlets and bay sod banks.
The Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission (ASMFC) has granted N.J. 11 extra days of fluke fishing this year. That came from excess quota held by other states that agreed to share it with N.Y. and N.J., the only states that overfished their quotas last year and had to cut back. New York was able to reduce their minimum to 19 inches with a bag of four fluke from May 1 to Sept. 29. It's assumed that our 11 days would be added to the current end of the season on Sept. 16, but N.J.Marine Fisheries Council Fluke Advisor Paul Haertel notes that the decision must be made by that Council at their July meeting. Some members seem inclined not to use the extra days as they are afraid that might result in overfishing the quota. September provides the best opportunity for surfcasters to catch a keeper fluke,but storms at that time usually greatly reduce the boat catch in any case.
The ASMFC cut back the Northern Area black sea bass reduction from 32 percent to 24 percent, enabling N.J. to retain the 12 1/2-inch minimum instead of going to 13 inches -- while the bag drops from 25 last year to 20 with seasons from 5/19 - 8/8, 9/27 - 10/4, and 11/1-12/31. That 160-day season would be a reduction of 30 days from last year. Those regulations are up for approval at a May 1 Public Hearing from 7 to 9 p.m. in Manahawkin.
At Brielle, Capt. Howard Bogan reports last weekend was still tough for jigging stripers, but at least a few were caught Sunday on the Jamaica which is now sailing daily for stripers. Capt. Joe Bogan says Jamaica II is out of drydock, and resuming 5 a.m. to 5 p.m. trips today for ling and cod on Wednesdays, Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays.
Capt. Steve Purul has been catching some unusual red drum while casting for school stripers in Barnegat Bay from his Reel Fantasea out of Barnegat. One day last week he had four legal puppy drum from 18 to 21 inches (red drum can be kept between 18 and 27 inches in N.J., with one per day all year). I doubt that those red drum are migratory, but probably wintered in the warm water at the Oyster Creek nucleur plant. On frigid Sunday, Purul's party added the first two bluefish while catching eight bass.
At Seaside Park, Betty & Nick's Tackle has projected May 3 as their opening day. Grumpy's Tackle has been weighing in a few "eating-size" stripers caught in the surf on clams, but Richard Kenny plugged a 31-incher Sunday.
Joe Melillo, at Castaway's Tackle in Point Pleasant says his regulars are starting to plug some 22-to-28-inch surf stripers north of Manasquan Inlet. Jerry Lasko of Point Pleasant weighed in bass of 13 and 15 pounds that hit a green-back Bomber on Tuesday around Spring Lake. Small blues have invaded Manasquan River and Inlet. Some flounder are still being caught on sandworms at the south end of Point Pleasant Canal and to the Mantoloking Bridge, along with a few blackfish.
Bobby Matthews, at Fishermen's Den in Belmar Marina, reports flounder are moving out of Shark River. One boat out on Wednesday released five early fluke and two stripers, but caught no flounder. Mostly short surf stripers are being caught on clams, but Chris Buchta of the Asbury Park Fishing Club weighed by far the largest surf striper reported so far-- a 24-pounder.
Tom O'Connor of South Amboy and Tom Jones from Parlin fished the bulkheads at Belmar last Friday to catch six flounder in 1 1/2 hours.
Allen Riley of South Plainfield and Duke Matero from Piscataway each caught two short stripers on clams yesterday morning at Long Branch. Riley reported the surf was sloppy and nasty.
Sandy Hook with be open for parking by fisherman at 5 a.m. on May 1. Parking will be free until Memorial Day, and then $15 after that.

The Daughters of Juarezby Lisa Pulitzer Teresa Rodriguez Diana Montan
Despite the fact that Juarez is a Mexican border city just across the Rio Grande from El Paso, Texas, most Americans are unaware that for more than twelve years this city has been the center of an epidemic of horrific crimes against women and girls, consisting of kidnappings, rape, mutilation, and murder, with most of the victims conforming to a specific profile: young, slender, and poor, fueling the premise that the murders are not random. Indeed, there has been much speculation that the killer or killers are American citizens. While some leading members of the American media have reported on the situation, prompting the U.S. government to send in top criminal profilers from the FBI, little real information about this international atrocity has emerged. According to Amnesty International, as of 2006 more than 400 bodies have been recovered, with hundreds still missing. As for who is behind the murders themselves, the answer remains unknown, although many have argued that the killings have become a sort of blood sport, due to the lawlessness of the city itself. Among the theories being considered are illegal trafficking in human organs, ritualistic satanic sacrifices, copycat killers, and a conspiracy between members of the powerful Juárez drug cartel and some corrupt Mexican officials who have turned a blind eye to the felonies, all the while lining their pockets with money drenched in blood. Despite numerous arrests over the last ten years, the murders continue to occur, with the killers growing bolder, dumping bodies in the city itself rather than on the outskirts of town, as was initially the case, indicating a possible growing and most alarming alliance of silence and cover-up by Mexican politicians. The Daughters of Juárez promises to be the first eye-opening, authoritative nonfiction work of its kind to examine the brutal killings and draw attention to these atrocities on the border. The end result will shock readers and become required reading on the subject for years to come.

Las Hijas de Juarez (Daughters of Juarez)by Lisa Pulitzer Teresa Rodriguez Diana Montan
Ciudad Juárez, México, queda en la frontera sur del Río Bravo, frente a El Paso, Texas. Por más de doce años, aquí se ha llevado a cabo un sinnúmero de crímenes atroces contra mujeres y niñas que incluyen secuestros, violaciones, mutilaciones y asesinatos. Según Amnistía Internacional, para 2006, se habían encontrado más de 400 cadáveres, sin contar centenares de desaparecidas. Muchos creen que las muertes se deben a la violencia e impunidad que imperan en la ciudad. Entre las teorías que se proponen están uno o varios asesinos en serie, los sacrificios en rituales satánicos, el poderoso cartel del narcotráfico de Juárez y hasta corruptos funcionarios mexicanos que encubren a los responsables. Las hijas de Juárez promete ser una reveladora obra literaria que revela no sólo la brutalidad tras estos sangrientos hechos, sino las violaciones de los derechos humanos de la mujer en México.

Why does Eco-Complete™ planted aquarium substrate outperform other products? The secret lies in rich basaltic volcanic soil which contains iron, calcium, magnesium, potassium, sulfur plus over 25 other elements to nourish your aquatic plants.
Eco-Complete™ Planted Aquarium Substrate is mineralogically and biologically complete, giving you luxuriant aquatic plant growth without nuisance algae! Iron rich Eco‑Complete™ eliminates the need for laterite. No artificial dyes, paints, or chemical coatings. Eco-Complete™ has highly porous spherical grains for optimum diffusion performance and contains live Heterotrophic bacteria to rapidly convert fish waste into natural food for your aquatic plants. It establishes a natural biological balance which makes cycling a new aquarium faster and safer.
Question: How long does the Eco-Complete™ Planted substrate remain effective for or after what period of time will I need to replace it?
Answer: Eco-Complete™ Planted is a geologically recent basaltic volcanic material. Since it is not a weathered product such as clays or laterites it will stay active over the life of the aquarium, will not break down into a mud, and does not need to be replaced.
Question: Hi i was wondering how long does the Eco-Complete™ Planted last in a tank and also is it ok to add like a sand on top or will that defeat the purpose of the Eco-Complete™ Planted and lastly does Eco-Complete™ Planted take in the nutrients from the water column and feed the roots with it cause im gonna fertilize the water column and need a substrate that will do that.
Answer: Eco-Complete™ Planted will last indefinitely. It won't break down or turn to mud. Eco-Complete™ Planted will supply trace elements that the plant needs but does not supply a fertilizer component ie. N,P or K. You either need to add the fertilizer or have fish in there that you feed regularly.

Great substrate. No washing, drain it and I was able to put it straight away - small amount of cloudynes gone in minutes - very easy to plant in. Big thumbs from me. 👍

I really like Eco-complete and have used it before with good success. Water clarity is excellent and because it is relatively heavy, plants don't float away - even single stems of HC stay put. It stinks when you open it, but its all good stuff! I previously used FloraBase but it was an absolute disaster - so light that it moved around in decent water flow and leached ammonia like nothing I have seen before. I had to completely strip down the tank and start again, with Eco-Complete. None of the above problems so far, so highly recommended. Worth the extra few quid.

Delivered quickly and looks great in my tank, really brings out the colours of my neon tetras. Tank was already cycled so followed the instructions to drain of the fluid in the bad and within 30 minutes any cloudiness was gone. Looking forward to seeing how well plants grow in this substarate.

This stuff looks great in the tank, very professional.
Date Added: 06/01/2015 by Colin Tweddle
Great looking (black) substrate, which you use straight from the bag, so no washing. Very little dust/cloudiness on filling and no ammonia peak observed. A bit of an algal bloom on day 2, but cleared in 24 hours without any action. Very light in weight, so tricky to plant out fine/lawn type plants (the fine grade is probably better for this). One bag was enough for a highly aquascaped 55l tank. Really attractive in use and plants seem to be taking to it well.

Quick delivery, only just planted a selection of plants but looking good so far.
Date Added: 25/10/2014 by Daniel Gray
This substrate really does live up to its name. It has a nice dark-brown/black colour to it which really brings out the greens in plants and just instantly makes the tank look a lot more professional. It contains all the bits and bobs with the substrate that plants need such as bacteria and nutrients which is also an added bonus. If you are thinking of buying a substrate for a planted tank and you are uncertain which to choose then I would highly recommend this one.

I have had this substrate in my tank for less than two weeks and I can already see a marked difference in growth rate on my plants. Simply Brilliant.
Date Added: 12/04/2013 by John Banks
I have had 5 bags of this substrate in my 54 gallon Fluval Osaka planted discus tank for 3 years now, and I have to say my plants just love it! The black colour I have found is not true black, but more of a grey. (Perhaps it is my lights..) I am more than satisfied with it's affinity for my plants. Discus also enjoy nosing around in this substrate with my cories and bottom feeders.. It's great stuff.
Date Added: 28/02/2013 by Darren Farnden
This is a really nice substrate,it comes wet in the bag and so there is no clouding.its really good for topping up substrate or as a new setup.I really recommend this product.

a great product if your looking for instant results as its pre washed and dosnt cloud the water

As a complete novice I chose this substrate for my new aquascaping attempt and saw new growth appearing on the plants I had trimmed and planted within days. The black substrate really shows off the vibrant colours of my healthy plants and a single bag was ample for my 64 litre tank.

Great substrate! I like this more than ADA AquaSoil and other substrates for planted tanks.
Date Added: 08/09/2007 by Carolyn Fish
Brilliant substrate. After a novice error of choosing gravel, coupled with a pre-made 'carpet' of HC , my tank was ruined as the gravel went completely black. Had to re-home my fish into a smaller tank & the rest of my beloved plants withered & died. After 6 hours of using this eco complete the tank was crystal & I mean crystal clear, no washing off before hand.New plants are at early stages, but no yellowing of leaves & I am getting oxygen bubbles on my new riccia with the CO2 turned off & only low lighting. Expensive- yes - worth it - oh yes. Highly recommended

JOHNS ISLAND -- Haut Gap Middle School enrolled 211 students last year, but only 23 of them were white.
This year, the predominantly black, high-poverty school has nearly twice as many white students, and the growth in diversity can be attributed to its new Advanced Studies Magnet program.
Students can earn at least five high school credits in courses such as algebra, geometry and global studies, and they can take academic electives, such as Charleston history, that aren't available in most other schools.
Five Charleston County schools opened partial magnet programs this year in an effort to boost student achievement and increase racial diversity. Poverty and low student achievement plague most of the five schools involved.
It's too early to tell whether the programs will result in higher test scores, but at least two of the programs, the Advanced Studies Magnet at Haut Gap and the Montessori program at Mitchell Elementary, have succeeded in attracting more white students to previously predominantly black schools.
School Superintendent Nancy McGinley created and spearheaded the partial magnet initiative, and her long-term vision is to create more of these programs in every area of the district. Partial magnet schools have a theme -- such as Montessori, arts-infused, or math and science -- and students from outside their attendance zones can apply for acceptance. Neighborhood students have a guaranteed spot at the school.
It's up to schools to decide whether the themed classes will be offered to a portion of the student body or to every student enrolled. The two schools that have seen a substantial improvementin racial diversity have separated their students in the magnet program from the rest of the student body and allowed them access only to its specialized classes, in essence segregating the program from the rest of the school with the exception of certain times, such as lunch. The other partial magnet schools have allowed the entire student body to take the themed classes, but they have seen less of an increase in racial diversity.
McGinley said she would like every student to be able to take advantage of a school's themed classes, and she called the programs at Haut Gap and Mitchell Elementary a starting point.
"Our goal is to have a ripple effect on the rest of the school," she said. "I'm not in favor of creating elite programs for a small number of kids. What I'm trying to do is bring about systemic changes that elevate all children."
She'd like to see at least three more partial magnet schools open by next school year and possibly more if she can find additional money. Each partial magnet received $6,000 for planning money, two extra teaching positions and $40,000.
A partial magnet
Haut Gap Principal Paul Padron, who's earned a reputation among local educators as an all-star, has been the driving force behind his school's Advanced Studies Magnet program.
He put together a team that surveyed the community, including families without children at Haut Gap, to find out what they wanted. Many indicated they would support a math and science themed school, but Padron decided to go a step further and create a program in which all subjects would be taught at high levels.
Armed with an ambitious plan, Padron began working on the most critical component of the partial magnet program: recruiting parents and convincing them to give a new, unproven initiative a try. He recognized that parents had opinions and fears about the school that he had to address. Many needed assurance that the school was a safe place and that teachers would demand high academic achievement.
He talked to parents at nearby elementary schools' PTA meetings, but he also ventured off the island to Stiles Point Elementary on James Island and St. Andrews School of Math and Science in West Ashley to promote his school's new program. He made school tours a priority; and when any parent stopped in to check out his school, he or another school staffer would take time to show them around the building.
Cheryl Levin Roberts was one of the white parents in the PTA audience at St. Andrews School of Math and Science listening to Padron make his pitch. Roberts lives on Johns Island but didn't enroll either of her sons in their neighborhood school because she feared they wouldn't be challenged.
Padron's presentation impressed her, particularly the offering of the unique academic electives and the promise of an advanced curriculum, especially in math.
She decided to visit Haut Gap Middle, and she felt good about what she saw. Still, she felt concerned about her son's safety and whether he would be pushed to excel. She felt like he'd been prepared well in math, and she didn't want him feeling bored.
It wasn't until the end of last school year that she decided to give the new program a try. She saw Padron's passion and vision for the school, and she said he made her believe in Haut Gap Middle. She wanted the partial magnet program to be successful, and she was willing to take a risk.
So far, she said she's been thrilled with the program. Her son is happy, and he comes home wanting to tell her about what he learned in school.
"That's pretty exciting for a mother," she said.
Padron credits parents for trusting the school with their children. Some of the 39 students in the program were in private schools last year, and others were zoned to attend middle schools on James Island this year.
"It took a lot of guts to make that first step," he said. "That's a tough choice."
Making it work
It's 7:45 a.m., but the early hour doesn't seem to make a difference for students in the Charleston history elective that's part of the school's Advanced Studies program. Students are sharply focused and their hands shoot upward in response to questions coming from their teacher, Jane Aldrich, an archivist and research consultant with the South Carolina Historical Society.
Aldrich is reviewing what the class learned the previous day when a guest speaker, the director of Charleston archives at the county library, taught the class about Charleston music in the late 1700s and early 1800s.
Students asked question after question, and Aldrich patiently answered each one. Their curiosity seemed difficult to satiate, but that's pretty typical for these children, Padron said.
"I wish we could offer this kind of class to all students," he said.
The school has two classes of students enrolled in the magnet program, and they take all of their classes together and remain separated from the rest of the student body. Students accepted to the program had to have a 3.0 average and score among the top 75 percent of their peers in reading and math. The program began this year with sixth-graders and will grow to include seventh- and eighth-graders during the next two years.
Eleven-year-old Arran Parker, a white James Island resident who attended Stiles Point Elementary last year, is one of the students in the program. He said he hadn't heard anything about Haut Gap Middle before enrolling there, and his classes are harder than they were last year. He likes the small class size and the academic electives because he says he feels like he's learning something.
On that day, Parker appeared to be learning alongside six black students, eight white students and two Hispanic students. Less visible are students' diverse economic backgrounds: 48 percent are considered high poverty.
Padron loves the diversity and said it's a reflection of the broader community. Students can learn from one another, and they need to learn how to work with people from different backgrounds, he said.
Padron feels confident that students in the Advanced Studies program will have higher test scores, and the remainder of the school's students will benefit from that program. The magnet class teachers are using similar strategies and activities in their non-magnet classes, and that will increase the instructional level and rigor of those lessons, he said. He's determined to see strong test results for both magnet and non-magnet students, which will help with student recruitment for the future.
"The results must show," he said.
The following is a racial breakdown of the students enrolled in Charleston County's five new partial magnet schools:
Entire school participates in its partial magnet program. The school enrolled 42 students from outside its attendance zone; 35 were black, five were Hispanic and two were white. Last year, the school had 340 black students, 12 Hispanic and two white students. This year, the school has 374 black students, 13 Hispanic and two white students.
Program is available to a small group of students, not the entire school. The school enrolled 39 students in the advanced studies program; 17 were black, 17 were white; four were Hispanic and one was another race. Last year, the school had 158 black students, 29 Hispanic students, 23 white students and one student of another race. This year, the school has 168 black students, 42 Hispanic students, 41 white students and one student of another race.
Entire school participates in its partial magnet program. The school enrolled 33 students for outside its attendance zone; 11 were black, 18 were white, one was Hispanic and three were of other races. Last year, the school had 137 black students, 15 Hispanic students, 262 white students and five students of other races. This year, the school has 139 black students, 14 Hispanic students, 296 white students and five students of other races.
Entire school participates in its partial magnet program. The school enrolled 33 students from outside its attendance zone; 28 were black, two were white, one was Hispanic and two were other races. Last year, the school had 290 black students and 10 white students. This year, the school has 369 black students, two Hispanic students, six white students and three students of other races.
Entire school participates in its math and science program; the school offers a separate Montessori program to a small group of students. For its math and science program, the school enrolled 37 students from outside its attendance zone; 32 were black, two were white, two were Hispanic and one was another race. For its Montessori program, the school enrolled 36 students; 18 were black, 16 were white and two were other races. Last year, the school had 345 black students, one Hispanic student and one student of another race. This year, the school has 380 black students, three Hispanic students, 23 white students and one student of another race.

Whale Story
"Plastisphere" ecosystems may be biohazards.
This biological community starts with particles of degraded plastic no bigger than grains of salt. Bacteria take up residence on those tiny pieces of trash. Then single-celled animals feed on the bacteria, and larger predators feed on them.
"We've created a new man-made ecosystem of plastic debris," said Lopez, a graduate student at the University of San Diego, during the recent expedition.
The plastisphere was six decades in the making. It's a product of the discarded plastic flip-flops, margarine tubs, toys, toothbrushes that gets swept from urban sewer systems and river channels into the sea.
When that debris washes into the ocean, it breaks down into bits that are colonized by microscopic organisms, many of them new to science. Researchers suspect that some of the denizens may be pathogens hitching long-distance rides on floating junk.
Scientists also fear that creatures in the plastisphere break down chunks of polyethylene and polypropylene so completely that dangerous chemicals are leached into the environment.

Employee Same-Sex Domestic Partners Benefits at Vanderbilt (Human Resources)
Vanderbilt offers the same benefits (health, dental, vision, tuition reimbursement) access to same-sex domestic partners as it does to opposite-sex spouses of employees. The benefits extended to children of employees are also the same (health, dental, vision, dependent tuition). In the event of a serious medical condition with a same-sex domestic partner or the partner's child, Vanderbilt has chosen to extend the same protections provided by the Family and Medical Leave Act.
Program ends in 2017: [from the HR Website] Because same-sex marriages are now performed and legal in all U.S. states, married same-sex couples are eligible for the same benefits and tax advantages as other married couples. Vanderbilt will continue to offer unmarried same-sex domestic partners and their children access to Vanderbilt benefit programs, including insurance plans and tuition assistance, in 2016. However, only spouses and natural, step- and adopted children will be eligible in 2017. This updated eligibility also extends to FMLA protection.
Trans Friendly Health Care Coverage
Vanderbilt has opted into both Navitus' requirements and benefits regarding hormone therapy, and Aetna's clinical policy regarding Gender Reassignment Surgery. Employees are still subject to requirements outlined by Navitus and/or Aetna for eligibility.
Vanderbilt's Non-Discrimination Policy and Reporting bias or discrimination
Vanderbilt lists "sexual orientation" and "gender identity" in it's equal opportunity and affirmative action statement. The Equal Opportunity, Affirmative Action, and Disability Services Department (EAD) is responsible for investigating and resolving complaints of discrimination, harassment and related retaliation within Vanderbilt University, whether the complaints originate internally or externally.
VU Medical Center
VUMC has been recognized as a leader in LGBT health care equality by the Human Rights Campaign (HRC) Healthcare Equality Index (HEI). VUMC is one of only four hospitals in Tennessee with such a distinction. The Program for LGBTI Health within the Office for Diversity in Medical education provides training at the School of Medicine, School of Nursing and numerous departments in relation to LGBTI medical concerns.

Dr. F. W. Mann reports in the Medical Record some remarkable psychical symptoms following an overdose of this drug. The patient, a laborer of German birth, required treatment for a subacute rheumatic attack, for which was ordered a mixture containing two drachms of the salicylate in four ounces of mint water. This was to be taken in teaspoonful doses every second hour. Like many another German of his class, the patient thought that the more rapidly the remedy was ingested the more speedily the cure would be accomplished; he proceeded to swallow the whole four ounce mixture in the course of four hours. As the result of this overdose the patient began to have hallucinations, especially delusions of persecution. During the evening of that same day he became so troublesome to his friends that they felt constrained to call the aid of the police. The patient had to spend the

The New Hampshire Bureau of Emergency Medical Services (NHBEMS) currently employs three Education Specialists assigned to specific geographic locations (8/2015) throughout the state. The Education Specialists report to one state Education Coordinator. Together, this group oversees the various EMS training courses offered throughout the state. The Education Specialists' duties include monitoring instructors and courses, developing course curricula and related training presentations. In addition, they provide a direct link between our providers in the field, our instructors, and the Bureau's administrative and other staff.
The Bureau oversees the training programs listed on the Synopsis of Bureau Approved Training Programs on this site. Specific curricula objectives must be met in order for these programs to meet the training standards. For approval of these training programs, a licensed New Hampshire EMS Instructor/Coordinator must request course authorization at least 30 days in advance of the projected training program start date. Each of these programs requires successful completion of practical and/or written exams in order to complete the process. These exams are overseen by the NHBEMS.
Current registration with the National Registry of Emergency Medical Technicians at the appropriate training level is required for licensure of all levels of EMS providers in New Hampshire. Initial registration with the National Registry requires successful completion on both practical and computer based (CBT) cognitive exams.
EMS continuing education courses are offered by many different organizations. The content of these training programs should meet current standards of practice. Sessions can be taught "in-house" within a service or elsewhere by an appropriate EMS educator. The categories and amount of continuing education needed for re-registration for each level of EMS Provider is regulated by the National Registry of Emergency Medical Technicians.

EAST LIVERPOOL-House Bill 99 took effect on Friday, officially making it illegal for motorists to text and drive in Ohio.
The bill reads: "No person shall drive a motor vehicle, trackless trolley, or streetcar on any street, highway, or property open to the public for vehicular traffic while using a handheld electronic wireless communications device to write, send, or read a text-based communication."
The statewide ban makes Ohio the 39th state to ban texting while driving. The bill was signed by Governor Kasich in June 2012; however, it is just now beginning to be enforced after a six-month grace period, according to a AAA press release. The bill provisions that the ban may only be enforced on a secondary basis, meaning that another traffic violation must occur before a motorist can be cited.
House Bill 99 includes special provisions for drivers under 18. Young drivers are forbidden from using their phone in any manner-not just texting but talking on the phone as well. These extra strict rules for inexperienced drivers were added to the bill by Senator Tom Patton, according to AAA.
Students at East Liverpool High School seemed to support the texting ban.
"I think it's a good idea because it's very unsafe to text and drive," said Morgan Campbell, a senior, who added "I think it took too long" to enact the law.
The AAA Traffic Safety Foundation found that taking one's eyes off the road for more than two seconds doubles one's risk of having a crash. Students at East Liverpool High school appeared to be familiar with the dangers associated with texting while driving.
"If you take your eyes off the road for one second anything could happen," said Andrew Arcuragi, a senior. "A lot of people have suffered because of other people's mistakes, especially texting."
When asked if they ever texted while driving the students were honest: "Everyone has before," said Arcuragi, with others agreeing they too have texted and drove on occasion.
AAA announced that it will begin an advertisement campaign featuring billboards reading "dnt txt n drv,"as an appeal to youthful drivers to not text and drive.
Students seemed to be in agreement that the obvious dangers posed by texting and driving were a more effective deterrent than any add campaign. They even cited one incident which occurred in the driveway leading out of the school, where a student rear ended a school bus because he was preoccupied with texting.
When asked if the new law will prevent them from texting while driving, the upperclassmen responded they never really texted while driving to begin with, because they knew the danger it involves.
"I don't really text and drive much anyway," said Andrew Martin, a senior.

A week before his grandson was gunned down in Hanahan, Elder James Johnson scoured North Charleston's streets hoping to pull the young man away from the destructive lifestyle he had been living.
Johnson's phone calls went unanswered and he never found the 19-year-old. He received word Friday that his worst fears had come true.
Now, the community activist said, he can't help but wonder if there's any more he could have said or done to save the life of Terrence Kendall McNeil Jr.
Details surrounding McNeil's death were few Monday and a suspect had not been named.
According to an incident report released by Hanahan police, authorities found McNeil slumped in a 2014 Dodge Charger that had crashed into a home on Old Point Road around 4:30 a.m. Friday. He was bleeding from gunshot wounds to his head and body, police said.
McNeil was breathing when help arrived, but just barely. He later died at the scene, authorities said.
According to investigators, a Glock pistol and five spent shell casings were found inside the car, police said.
Hanahan police Lt. Michael Fowler said investigators have heard that the shooting was a gang-related retaliation. He would not discuss what McNeil could have done for someone to want him dead.
As a police chaplain and leader of the local National Action Network, a group trying to reverse gun violence, Johnson said he's coming to terms with the fact that he wasn't able to save his own kin from the violence he's combatted for years.
Things could have ended differently had McNeil adhered to the teachings of his parents and loved ones, Johnson said.
"He had all the opportunities to have a good life, but his choices were his choices," Johnson said Monday.
McNeil graduated from North Charleston High School and could have gone to college if he wanted, family said. Instead, the streets steered McNeil down a different path.
In November 2012, when he was 17, McNeil staggered into Medical University Hospital with a gunshot wound to his neck and face. He was arrested after North Charleston investigators alleged he received the wounds while attempting to rob a man on Gordon Street.
Johnson said his family had hoped the close call would have been enough to prompt McNeil into changing his life for the better. But their pleas fell on deaf ears.
"He said he wasn't ready to leave the streets," Johnson said.
He suspected that his grandson's death was an act of retaliation. For what, he said he didn't know.
Whether McNeil had a hand in his own death or not, Johnson said the tragedy that hit his family is evidence of increasing violence throughout the Charleston area. McNeil was one of three people shot to death over the holiday weekend in the the tri-county area. Two of which died on the Fourth of July.
His grandson's death won't deter Johnson from the work that needs to be done to save his community, he said. Johnson plans to meet with area mayors and lawmakers later this week to discuss the issue.
"Nobody's immune from the crime that's in these streets," he said.

Holdout bonds' ruling: Argentina files a retrial petition at the US Court of Appeals
Argentina filed on Tuesday a petition for a retrial at the US Second Circuit Court of Appeals over a debt ruling that would force the country to pay holdout creditors owning bonds in default since 2002.
The court filing said Argentina is seeking a re-trail with the three-judge panel that ruled in favour of the holdouts last month as well as with the entire Second Circuit Court of Appeals.
Argentina in its brief said the earlier appellate ruling last month interpreted a "boilerplate" provision underlying trillions of dollars in debt in a way that was "inconsistent with market understanding."
If left in place, the Second Circuit's initial ruling "will exacerbate future sovereign debt crises by making voluntary debt restructuring essentially impossible," Argentina argued in the brief.
Argentine bonds tied to GDP growth fell by 4.1% on Tuesday, while bonds such as the Boden 2015 lost 0.8%, the Par (which is in Pesos) fell 2% and the Pro 13, 0.8%.
An analyst explained that the reason for the fall "is that Argentina is firmly opposed to conceding any payment to the 'vulture funds'." Therefore investors fear that if the holdouts aren't paid, this will cause an embargo leading to a technical default.
On Monday, President Cristina Fernández, repeated that she will continue to refuse to pay those who did not enter the debt restructuring process, which was accepted by 93% of the bondholders.
Investment fund NML Capital on Tuesday presented US judge Thomas Griesa with a note that indicated how much they demand to be paid for the bonds that did not enter the governments bond-swap deal.
The investment group is responsible for the seizure of the Libertad frigate, after presenting a lawsuit through the Ghanaian judicial system.
Last month, the US appeals court ratified the New York judge's verdict, which ruled that Argentina should pay all the bondholders, whether they had entered the bond-swap deal or not.
According to sources, after NML Capital presented their proposal, lawyers representing Argentina have 72 hours to formally respond to the proposal.
At a hearing last Friday, Griesa said he intended to rule before December 2, when Argentina is scheduled to make the first of three interest payments on the exchange bonds, which will total more than 3 billion dollars over the course of the month.
From Buenos Aires Argentina replied saying that the money was deposited in the Central bank and ready to be paid out to the exchange bonds.
In its presentation before the Appeals court Argentina claimed that upholding Griesa's rulings would undermine its debt agreements, trigger a new financial crisis in the republic and make it impossible for countries including Greece and Spain to restructure their debt in the future.
However Circuit Judge Barrington Parker who wrote for the panel agreeing with Judge Griesa said that "nothing in the record supports Argentina's blanket assertion that the injunctions will plunge the Republic into a new financial and economic crisis" adding that with more than 40 billion dollars in foreign reserves, Argentina has the ability to pay the holdouts
"We hold that Argentina breached its promise," the appellate court said, summarizing a 29-page ruling that could make it difficult for Argentina to use the US financial system unless it complies.
Griesa said any financial institution that processes Argentina's payments to the holders of restructured bonds must ensure that the holdouts are paid an equal amount to avoid violating the court's order. Effectively, this would force US banks to stop the payments unless Argentina proves it's complying with the ruling.
The appeals court sent the case back to Griesa's court to clarify how a payment formula set by the judge is intended to work and to determine how the orders apply to intermediary banks and other third parties.

Cricket clubs can play a key role in the successful delivery of Building Partnerships – cricket's strategic plan for 2006-2009 - by supporting the delivery and implementation of the following programmes:
The ECB Clubmark and community cricket clubs play a central role in all of these programmes and Clubmark will provide the standards that clubs involved in these programmes will aspire to.

The U.S Postal Service is considering cutting as many as 120,000 jobs after a second year of losses totaling $8 billion.
The loss of mail to the Internet and the decline in advertising due to the recession have rocked the agency.
Post Office officials explained that without Congressional intervention they may not have the $5.5 billion necessary to cover future employee health care costs due Sept. 30. "Our intent is to continue to deliver the mail, pay our employees and pay our suppliers." Postmaster General Patrick Donahoe said.
The agency said it's considering pulling its workers out of the federal retirement and health benefits plans and set up its own benefits systems. Both moves could face severe opposition from postal unions whose contracts ban layoffs.

2013 Fellows
From Left to Right: Elizabeth Mastropolo, Pouyan Darian, Andrew Zahnd, Elizabeth Tonne-Daims, Kerriann Stout
Pouyan Darian
- Pouyan Darian comes to the PCLP with a background providing legal services to indigent and underserved communities, including predatory mortgage lending defense, consumer debt assistance, and federal criminal defense.
- After working for an immigration law firm, he became passionate about the needs of immigrants and subsequently worked as a student attorney in the Immigration Justice Clinic at John Jay Legal Services.
- Pouyan aspires to open his own immigration law firm and remain with the PCLP as an incubated attorney when he completes his fellowship.
"As an immigrant who naturalized as a child, I am keenly aware that my success has been contingent upon the chances and opportunities that I have been afforded by my status as a citizen. At the PCLP I am learning the legal and practice management skills necessary to build one's own practice."
Elizabeth Mastropolo
- Elizabeth Mastropolo was competitively selected by the Westchester County Bar Foundation for a two-year fellowship at the PCLP through which she will serve as a dedicated legal advocate to Neighbors Link, a nonprofit organization in Mount Kisco that serves the immigrant community.
- Elizabeth's experience advocating on behalf of underrepresented communities began when she was in college, where she served as an intern in the Domestic Violence Bureau of the Rockland County District Attorney's Office and at AkiDwA, a social organization for African immigrant women in Ireland.
- Elizabeth attended St. John's University School of Law. During law school, she gained clinical and internship experience at the St. John's Child Advocacy Clinic and at Pace Law School's Women's Justice Center, where she advocated on behalf of victims of familial violence. Recognizing the significance of public interest work, she also became a leader in St. John's Public Interest Committee and a coordinator of the Courtroom Advocate's Project.
- Elizabeth also gained direct legal experience as an intern with the Nassau County Surrogate's Court and at a private law firm.
"Effective legal representation empowers clients and enables them to secure the best legal outcome possible. This is why I want to help low to moderate income citizens and non-citizens through the often confusing and demoralizing legal system."
Kerriann Stout
- As a Pace law student, Kerriann Stout gained legal experience as a legal intern in the Westchester County District Attorney's Office and the New York State Attorney General's Organized Crime Task Force. Her experience assisting survivors of crime sparked an interest in working directly with clients to address their legal needs.
- Kerriann's participation in trial advocacy classes and trial competition teams reinforced her passion to pursue a career in litigation, where she will apply her skills in a courtroom representing clients.
- Kerriann learned the importance of legislative advocacy during an internship with the Westchester County Board of Legislators.
"I was born and raised in White Plains and went to high school, college and law school in Westchester County. I came to Pace Law School with the singular focus of pursuing a career in Westchester County's public sector. My legal experience during law school broadened my conception of public interest law. I am excited to be starting my legal career as an advocate for those in my community."
E. Lilly Tonne-Daims
- Lilly attended Binghamton University, where she studied Spanish and International Affairs and spent a semester studying at La Universidad de Barcelona.
- During law school, Lilly worked for Legal Services of the Hudson Valley and the Pace Women's Justice Center concentrating on public interest issues, including domestic violence and landlord tenant disputes.
- Throughout her second and third years at Pace, Lilly worked at a Manhattan-based plaintiff's litigation firm working on complex class action cases focused on civil rights, consumer protection and product liability.
"I came to law school to be a litigator who advocates for those who need relief, but are not able to obtain counsel. The clients we help at the PCLP are in most desperate need of attorneys. I am sure this fellowship will blaze a trail to my becoming the avid litigator I aspire to be."
Andrew Zahnd
- Throughout law school, Andrew Zahnd gained experience in a variety of public interest legal settings. At John Jay Legal Services, Andrew worked in the Post Conviction Project, seeking to overturn convictions based on newly-discovered evidence. He also worked at the Disability Rights and Health Law Clinic, helping people obtain necessary court orders and pursue other legal action to secure their rights.
- Andrew also worked with the Pace Women's Justice Center in the Family Court Legal program, where he assisted individuals in obtaining temporary orders of protection, child support and custody.
- Outside of John Jay Legal Services, Andrew volunteered at The Legal Aid Society, advising prospective clients in employment and public benefit matters and at Sports Media Advisors, where he researched and wrote on intellectual property matters.
"I hope to personify two qualities. The first is empathy. Our clients come to us with personal stories, frustrations, heartaches and hopes which must always be honored. The second is hard work. There is no excuse for being outworked, and I look forward to giving our clients everything I have as we fight for their rights."

A special tribute to the late TV producer Aaron Spelling to be hosted by daughter Tori will not air on ABC this fall as planned – after Spelling's widow and Tori's mother, Candy Spelling, blocked the project, a source confirms to PEOPLE.
Spelling, the legendarily prolific creator of such shows as Love Boat, Charlie's Angels, Dynasty and Beverly Hills, 90210, died June 23 after a lengthy illness. He was 83. His wife and daughter have maintained a highly strained relationship over the past few years, aspects of which have been coming to light in the days after the patriarch's death.
Tori was to have served both as host and executive producer of the ABC tribute, according to the source, who said: "All of his (Aaron's) stars had signed on and some interviews had already been taped. … But Candy wouldn't release the clips of his shows because Tori was involved in the project. She had it killed."
Candy Spelling's representative, Kevin Sasaki, confirmed to PEOPLE that she had "talked to ABC about releasing the clips for the tribute," but denies that Candy stopped the show. Instead, he says, "she didn't feel the timing was right … since the Emmys were doing a big tribute to her husband around the same time."
He added, "She had nothing to do with this except that she was asked to release the clips and she didn't think it was the right time, so she turned them down."
ABC, which was long associated with Aaron Spelling's shows, has issued "no comment" about the proposed Spelling special.
Meanwhile, the source tells PEOPLE, Candy has agreed to provide clips to rival network NBC for a tribute to Aaron on its Aug. 27 Emmycast. The source confirms that she will attend the Emmy ceremony with son Randy Spelling but that Tori has yet to be invited as part of the family.

If you've followed Calslappy's career for any length of time you'd see that he's really shown everything. He has the skill to outbox, the pop to out power and the workrate to outwork and in every fight he's done the thing that left him in the best position. He's looked **** against opponents that other guys would dominate but he's dominated against opponents that other guys would struggle with.
I've seen him get up of the floor to win several times, I've seen him break his hand and win with the jab, and much as he's a cunto who showboats a bit too much he certainly has the ability. It's pretty ludicrous to suggest that he hasn't/

I prefer a boxer to sit on his punches and throw them with violent intentions. Calzaghe's pitter patter at the very least neutralizes his opponent ability to punch and makes them uncomfortable, which was very apparent in the last four fights of Joe's I watched live. I have to say I'm sold after this fight and seeing what B-Hop did to Pavlik. Next weeks taylor/lacy fight is going to be a very interesting matchup.

I was pumped when Roy dropped him in that first round, but as usual Calzaghe stayed strong and made adjustments. His straight left is the only punch of his that seems to hurt his opponents and his combinations are mostly for just scoring points. With that said though he is quick and has really good reflexes as he was slipping a lot of Roy's punches. He's a smart fighter no doubt about that and at anytime seems to make quick adjustments and combine that with his awkwardness, durability and great stamina he's really tough to beat.

I'm sorry but I will never consider him a great.
A very good fighter who eked out every ounce of talent he could have. Hall of Fame for longevity and going unbeaten for so long, yes.
But I don't like his style, her personality, his skillset and I don't think he could hang with prime Hopkins or RJJ. I mean, they both put him on his ass before gassing after 6 rounds. That, to me anyway, gives an indication what would have happened if they'd have met years ago.
Beating a shot RJJ doesn't raise him in my eyes. I'm just more sad for RJJ than anything else, really. A guy who he would probably knocked out in his prime was taking the piss, and there was nothing he could do about it.
