The Waiting Is The Hardest Part
After the Giants beat the Braves last night, the Phillies now know who their opponent will be in the NLCS, which doesn't start until Saturday. Granted, the Phillies made quick work of the Reds, sweeping them in three games; the Giants needed four games to dispatch the Braves. Even if both series had gone a full five games, the divisional series would have ended on Wednesday. Why do we possibly need two full days off between series???
Initially, I thought I wanted the Braves to advance, because I felt the Phillies had a better chance against their pitching. On the other hand, those two teams had already met 18 times during the regular season (with the Phils winning 10), so there was a certain amount of familiarity. The Giants and Phillies have only played each other 6 times, which I'm sure has it's own set of pros and cons.
At least now I won't have to hear that annoying (and some would say politically incorrect) Braves chant during the games, and as far as I know, the Giants don't have any sort of mass chanting from their fans.
Flip side is, I'll have to watch Tim Lincecum and his girlie hair.
Random NLDS Musings
Since my last post, following Roy Halladay's no-no, the Phils took the next two from the Reds, though in rather opposite ways. In Game 2, the other Roy wasn't quite so sharp, and in fact, Oswalt later admitted that he had felt a bit rusty. The Reds took advantage and jumped out to a 4-0 lead after 4 1/2 innings. But then the Phillies started to chip away at the lead, and the Reds let the game slip through their fingers. Literally. The Reds committed four errors in this game, and their pitchers hit three batters (more on that in a bit). Bottom line, Phillies won 7-4, though only two of the runs were earned.
Game 3 was a much more polished affair, as Cole Hamels went the distance for a complete-game shutout as the Phils won, 2-0. For the Phillies Phaithful, it was only fitting that the final out was a Scott Rolen strikeout.

Which leads me to Rolen, or as one local sports talk-radio guy calls him, "Lemon Face". [the following photo is actually not from the NLDS, but earlier in the season]
(photo by Ed Wulfstein/Icon SMI)
Lemon Face had an atrocious series, going 1 for 11 with eight strikeouts! He also committed two errors! Hee hee! You may recall Rolen's demands to be traded near the end of his tenure with the Phils, saying that the Phillies management and ownership weren't committed to winning. Looks like the Phils have been doing pretty good lately, doesn't it, Scott?

Chase Utley, for his starring role last Friday in "Chase's Excellent Adventure Around the Bases". First, Utley was (maybe) hit on the hand by Aroldis Chapman; next, he (maybe) was safe on a close play at second; and finally, he (maybe) touched the base while rounding third. He was definitely safe at home.
I had to laugh at this Utley quote regarding the hit-by-pitch: "I felt like I thought it hit me, so I put my head down and I ran to first." O-kaaay, Chase, whatever you say.😉

John Mayberry, Jr. may have been surprised to learn that he was also hit by a pitch in that game, because he is not on the postseason roster!
I've often wondered if the sportswriters actually watch the games. It would seem the answer is no, because if they did they would know that it was Ben Francisco who was nearly decapitated when the ball went off the brim of his helmet.

Listening to the TBS announcing duo of Brian Anderson and Joe Simpson was enough to make me catatonic, given that they collectively seem to have as much personality as my pinky toe. And they clearly need some lessons in enunciation – one of them (I'm not sure which, they're both equally dull) kept saying "Utley" in a way that made it sound like "Ugly".

The funniest moment of the series had to be in Game 3, when Rich Dubee was being interviewed during the game about the renaissance of Cole Hamels. With Dubee unaware of what was going on behind him, Roy Oswalt was ducking from the dugout into the clubhouse. He apparently couldn't resist the temptation to grin at the camera on his way past:
Hubby, son and I were in hysterics. This team is definitely loose and having fun!
Let's go, Phillies!

I didn't see all your games, but it seemed as if Scott Rolen was screwing up whenever I turned on the TV! What a horrible series for him. I love your description of the Utley saga. Jeter got mocked when he went to first base after "getting hit by a pitch," so I guess it was Utley's turn to do some acting. That's baseball.
Beautiful pictures Sue! and you always seem to find those tidbits to entertain us! Did I ever mention that I work with an uncle of Scott Rolen. We always talk baseball when I run into him. Yep! that Oscar has to go to Utley, a native of the greater Los Angeles area.
Got to root for the Phillies since they are playing the hated Jints.
Jane – Horrible is an understatement. Well, I guess it COULD have been worse – he did at least get one hit.
Emma – Thanks for your support! I hope the Phils can do their part and beat the Giants for you. I wonder what Rolen's uncle will have to say about his NLDS performance – have you crossed paths recently?
The waiting I think is set up that way so if it went 5 games then the winning team would still have chance to get their number 1 pitcher ready for the start of the next series. I think we have the same type of gap from the NLCS to the WS…
Glad TBS is history for the NL teams, however is Fox really any better…
Rolen is a has been, and if he's playing next year the team bettr have an everday back up, or maybe they could get Chipper Jones too and have them platoon at 3rd…LOL
Great stuff as always Sue, this weekend cant come soon enough..
Ha, ha….my husband took the same photo of the TV…I think his has Roy just slightly more to the right. Have not pulled it off the camera yet…funny stuff.
I saw Roy do that briefly while it was airing and I busted out… seein' this pic here is even better though. And I think "Lemon Face" is fitting for Rolen. I don't know why he has such a hard time getting along with people wherever he goes. Had similar problems in St. Louis with TLR.

The series: The Packers lead the all-time regular-season series 27-21-2 and also hold a 4-3 advantage in postseason play. The Packers have won seven of the teams' last 10 meetings, although the Giants won the ones that mattered most, winning the 2007 NFC Championship Game and a 2011 NFC Divisional Playoff Game at Lambeau Field last January..

Full participation – RB Ahmad Bradshaw (foot), C David Baas (ankle), S Tyler Sash (ankle), G Chris Snee (ankle), DT Linval Joseph (knee).
Case of the drops: Aaron Rodgers has always insisted that it's mental mistakes, not physical ones, that get his goat. And based on how the Packers quarterback reacts on the field to his teammates – sometimes angrily jumping them for mental errors while not showing much obvious negative body language after a physical mistake like a dropped pass – would back up his contention.
According to ProFootballFocus.com, only two other quarterbacks have gotten more practice this season at reacting to drops by their receivers than Rodgers. Entering this week's games, Detroit's Matthew Stafford had watched his would-be pass-catchers drop 33 passes, and Cleveland's Brandon Weeden had seen 32 passes dropped. Rodgers was third at 31, or 8.8 percent of his attempts. Rodgers' drop percentage also ranks third in the NFL, behind Tennessee's Jake Locker (11 percent) and Jacksonville's Blaine Gabbert (9.7 percent). ProFootballFocus then took those numbers and created a stat called Adjusted Completion Percentage, which in Rodgers' case was 75.99 percent, the second-best in the league behind Denver's Peyton Manning.
"From our standards, one drop is too many. One drop is too many," Packers wide receivers coach Edgar Bennett said this week. "We certainly have to do a better job catching the football consistently. Regardless of the situation – be it more fundamentals as far as sometimes it's hand placement, sometimes it's not looking the ball in and looking to run first. The bottom line is, we've got to catch the football. We've got to catch the football. And we know from a fundamentals standpoint how to do that. From a focus standpoint, we know what it's going to take to get that done. We have to apply it."
While the perception is that one player – you know who – is the worst offender, the Packers in fact have three receivers with seven drops: Wide receiver Jordy Nelson, wide receiver Randall Cobb and tight end Jermichael Finley. Finley has dropped seven of 48 targets, Nelson has dropped seven of 62 and Cobb has dropped seven of 69.
What's remarkable is that Rodgers' receivers have been relatively consistent in their drop numbers. As mentioned, Rodgers has had 31 of 354 attempts dropped this year (8.8 percent). Last season, receivers dropped 48 of 548 (8.8 percent). In 2009, 48 of 583 (8.2 percent). And in 2008, 43 of 536 (8.1 percent). The 2010 season is the anomaly, when they dropped 41 of 607 (6.8 percent).

A quick examination of historical sources reveals that it wasn't for the faint of heart. While Apache and Comanche raids posed a regular threat, danger also came in the form of the cattle, themselves.
According to author Jack Jackson (Los Mesteños, 1986), Spanish Colonial ranchers used the word mesteño (mustang) to describe both wild cattle and horses. The Spanish viewed hunting of mesteño cattle as a sport, and between this activity and predation by wild animals, the slower and less wily animals were weeded out, leaving the most intelligent and fleet-footed to propagate.
After approximately 250 years of this winnowing, the result was an extremely alert, intelligent, and dangerous animal physically and mentally suited to the harsh living conditions of South Texas. Ultimately, on the vast range lands of Mission Espíritu Santo, these cattle developed into the Texas longhorn.
One only has to read accounts presented in J. Frank Dobie's "The Longhorns" to understand how dangerous these animals could be.
In a first-person account dated to 1850, "...an army officer dashed up on a fine American horse and fired his pistol at the bull. Instantly the brute wheeled to attack. ... The big American horse, too slow in turning, was met full in the side by the bull's horns. Both horse and rider were lifted for one instant into the air, and then came down in a heap together. The horse was dead without a struggle, one horn being completely through his body, the other caught in the bones of the chest." (Dobie 1980:15)
Another account Dobie attributes to Colonel Philip Saint George Cook, concerns an 1846 encounter between the military and wild cattle that took place in Arizona.
"I had to direct the men to load their muskets to defend themselves. The animals attacked in some instances without provocation ... one ran on a man, caught him in the thigh, and threw him clear over his body lengthwise; then it charged on a team, ran its head into the first mule and tore out the entrails of the one beyond.
"Another ran against a sergeant, who escaped with severe bruises, as the horns passed at each side of him; one ran at a horse tied behind a wagon, and as it escaped, the bull struck the wagon with a momentum that forced the hind part of it out of the road. I saw one rush at some pack mules and kill one of them." (Dobie 1980:16).
And finally, Dobie himself said "In many ways … these cattle were more like deer than buffaloes - quick, uneasy, restless, constantly on the lookout for danger, snuffing the air, and moving with a light, elastic step. In their sense of smell they were fully the equal of deer. A wounded bull has been known to hunt for his enemy by scent, trailing him on the ground like a bear." (Dobie 1980:23)
After reading historical accounts like these, it becomes clear just how difficult life was for early Texas cattle wranglers. Whether mission Indian, Mexican vaquero, or Texas cowboy, the people who chose this way of life dealt with danger every day of their lives. After all, death could come at any time - whether from the tip of an arrow, a blast from a gun, or the point of a horn.
No wonder we, their descendants, have such a reputation for grit. It seems we inherited it.

No wonder the online rave last week over the Miss USA 2014: Stunning Miss Indiana Mekayla Diehl's 'Normal' Body Applauded on Twitter During Swimsuit Competition" @ 137 lbs she'd be considered totally unacceptable by false fashion standards.ReplyCancel
I'm not surprised at the scale at all. I'm five foot eight and a US six and I look like shamu beside these women. Have you ever met a runway model in real life? They are generally skeletal thin, I mean unhealthily so, I'm not talking the famous pretty ones, I'm talking the average run way model. The clothes horse. It's really not a good look, they are very tall and very very thin and generally very young girls.
Actually I work with women like that, seriously tiny, and I work in a male dominated environment, so only a handful of us, When I'm with my mates, I feel normal, or even slim sometimes. When I go to work, I feel sodden huge. That's a joy on a daily basis. But when you are surrounded by five foot, size 2 – 4 women, and i tend to make it worse by always wearing four inch heels, taking me to over six foot, I'm feel like xena in amongst the borrowers.ReplyCancel
@AJ-I got scouted when I was younger, mainly did local stuff. After awhile though I was told that at 5'6-7" I wasn't tall enough unless I wanted to go overseas.ReplyCancel
I think Kate can do whatever she wants, she's like a modeling God. I never took it seriously, mainly I sweated my ass off in store windows as a live mannequin so I could get school clothes.ReplyCancel
Kate Moss broke the mold and probably helped more "shorter" models break into the business if you consider 5 foot 7 -9 short.ReplyCancel
i'm 5'9 and 125 and i make it in the local stuff, but im much too big to make in nyc. also i'm way too old.
runway is age 14-19. i saw an article about a girl that got cast in the big shows, and was told for press photos not to smile because she was still losing baby teeth.
i think the industry is slowly (very slowly) changing. honestly, i love the victoria's secret look. very slim, yes, but they are lean and muscular and healthy-looking.ReplyCancel
Sophie Dahl??? Technically half american, no.ReplyCancel
I don't get the appeal either.ReplyCancel
Unpopular opinion, but I think the models mentioned are gorg. Models don't have to be conventionally attractive to be able to evoke the different characters or moods asked of them. I kind of love them more because they have quirky and unique looks. Wixsen, Joblanski, Rocha, Liu, Abby Lee Kershaw, are all unique and adorable. Also Kate Upton is a bombshell. *Slips back into obscurityReplyCancel
This is meant to be now-thin Renn, who's NY-London based and once did ads for Mango (Spanish fashion line) with Penelope Cruz no less. She works lots in Europe, repped by Elite London/Paris so any A-lister she sees is there or in NY. any hints about Colin Firth lately?
who said Bale? hardly leaves his LA house when not working, dont think he's been to an Oscar party in his life. If he runs around it's local.ReplyCancel
This is crystal renn and Javier bardem for sureReplyCancel
Bale won an oscar 3 years ago for best supporting actor ( The Fighter)
If it was about him,Enty would write that his wife is pregnantReplyCancel
@FrenchGirl, oh gosh, you are absolutely correct. Of course he did.
I actually gave it "Deep Thought" from my memory bank and decided no. Whoops! Should've Googled but am too confident in my Oscar knowledge for my own good sometimes!

Ohio Northern University inducts four into Athletic Hall of Fame
The Ohio Northern University Athletic Hall of Fame inducted four new members on Friday, Oct. 18, as part of ONU's Home coming weekend.
The four inducted were Dr. DeBow Freed, the ninth president of the University who served from 1979-99; Alisa Agozzino, a 2001 communication arts graduate and volleyball and track athlete from Attica, Ohio; Jesse Marlow, a 1983 e conomics major and track and basketball athlete from Mahomet, Ill., and Terri Krach, a 1988 management and marketing major and softball athlete from Rocky River, Ohio.
To be inducted into the ONU Athletic Hall of Fame, one must have made great contributions to the field of athletics through their athletic performance at the University or meritorious efforts made on behalf of athletics. Nominees do not necessarily have to be former ONU students unless they are nominated as an athlete; however, they do have to have served the University for at least 12 years.
Athletes must have attended Northern at least 10 years ago and must have earned two letters in one sport or one letter in three or more sports. All nominees must have demonstrated good citizenship both at ONU and beyond and served the athletics program in any capacity that contributed to the overall program.
Agozzino excelled at two sports during her ONU career: volleyball and track and field. In volleyball, she was a starting player on ONU's 1997 Elite 8 team, which also won the OAC tournament and OAC regular season that year. She currently is ranked No. 8 on the all-time career list for attacks in volleyball. Agozzino's outstanding athleticism also was apparent in track and field. A two-time national NCAA qualifier in the heptathlon, she finished No. 16 nationally in the NCAA in 2000. She also made first team All-OAC two times. In ONU's record books, she remains on six superlatives lists: No. 1 in heptathlon, No. 2 in javelin, No. 6 in high jump, No. 6 in 55-meter hurdles, No. 7 in 100-meter hurdles, and No. 9 in long jump.
Agozzino was a bright and motivated learner who excelled in the classroom. She was named OAC Scholar-Athlete of the Month in February 2001 and, that same year, was awarded the OAC's prestigious Clyde Lamb Award. After graduating from ONU in 2001 with a Bachelor of Arts in public relations, Agozzino continued her education at Bowling Green State University, receiving a master's degree and a Ph.D. in communication. She earned her accreditation in Public Relations (APR) in 2013. She currently is an assistant professor of public relations at Ohio Northern. Agozzino volunteers as a coach for ONU's track and field team and serves as an official for both high school and college volleyball and track meets.
During his presidency, Freed gave unwavering support to ONU's athletic programs. He personally knew many of the student-athletes, celebrating their victories and standing by them in defeat. He upheld high academic standards for all ONU student-athletes, ensuring they received the support they needed to be successful in the classroom and in their sports. He also championed improvements to ONU's athletic facilities, including the expansion and improvement of King Horn Center, construction of the outdoor track, and the preparation for the construction of Dial-Roberson Stadium. He encouraged expansion of the west-campus athletic complex with several playing fields and the 2.5-mile paved path for walking, jogging and rollerblading that surrounds the western part of ONU's campus.
Freed graduated from West Point and later earned master's and doctoral degrees in nuclear science and nuclear engineering from the universities of Kansas and New Mexico respectively. His distinguished 23-year military service included seven years overseas and assignments as chief of the plans branch, U.S. Army Vietnam, and director of the nuclear branch of the Defense Atomic Support Agency.
After his military career, Freed continued to devote his life to public service, serving five years as dean of Mount Union College and 32 years as president of Monmouth College, Ohio Northern and the University of Findlay. He was honored last year with the dedication of a room in the historic Thayer Hotel on the campus of the United States Military Academy at West Point. He also was recently featured in the book West Point Leadership: Profiles of Courage, which lauded his lifetime of service to others.
Freed's wife, Catherine, a former college faculty member and church leader, brought exceptional abilities and grace to many areas of University life. She holds a Bachelor of Arts and a Bachelor of Fine Arts from the University of Texas, a master's degree from the University of Kansas, and an honorary doctorate from ONU.
Krach, who was a team captain her junior and senior year, did not sit out a single inning during her illustrious softball career at ONU in the mid-80s. She led the Polar Bears to an OAC championship and an overall record of 87 wins and just 25 losses during her four seasons on the team. Krach's softball accomplishments stand out in ONU's record books. She is an all-time career leader for ERA, wins, walks and runs scored. She also managed to steal a then-record 47 bases during her ONU career; this tally now ranks No. 4. She still maintains the position of No. 1 in the record book for ERA in a single season. Her athleticism on the diamond resulted in her being named First Team All-Central Region in 1986 and First Team All-OAC in 1985 and 1986. She's the only player in ONU history to be selected as first team in two positions – pitcher and third base – in a single year. She also was selected to Outstanding College Students of America in 1988.
Krach's passion for softball hasn't subsided since graduation. She plays in a softball league, and her team has won numerous ASA and USSSA tournaments. She also coached softball for Rocky River High School in Cleveland. One of her star pitchers followed in her footsteps and now plays for the Polar Bears. She works for the city of Rocky River's Recreation Department as a supervisor and tennis instructor and currently holds a 4.5 USTA ranking. In her spare time, she encourages high school students to tutor younger students in a program called S.O.S. She enjoys boating and spending time with her two golden retrievers.
Marlow played junior varsity basketball and was an outstanding track and field athlete at ONU in the early '80s. He received varsity letters in track in 1980, 1981, 1982 and 1983. He was All-Conference in indoor and outdoor track and participated in the state championship for the high jump in 1980 and for the decathlon in 1983. Thirty years later, he still holds the No. 1 spot in the school record books for the decathlon and the No. 4 spot for the high jump. He was named an All-American in the decathlon in 1982 and in track and field in 1983. Marlow also was a member of the economics honorary Omicron Delta Epsilon.
A well-rounded athlete who played several sports in high school, Marlow shares his passion for sports with the next generation. He's a volunteer YMCA basketball and soccer coach, and he coaches the Mount Vernon Middle School girls' basketball team. Since then, he has enjoyed a successful career in the banking industry, currently working as a vice president at Fort Knox National Bank in Mount Vernon, Ohio. Active in his community, he's a past distinguished president of the Kiwanis, board president of the YMCA, and past board chairman of the Community Mental Health and Recovery Board. He also serves on the Knox County Board of Development Disabilities. Marlow and his wife, Jane, have two adult children, Jenell and Sarah.

Lin had a bad game, yet had the second-best +/- amongst Knicks players for the game......... For the second straight game, the Knicks were just plain awful with him on the bench. (Lin was +13 in the Bucks loss. That should tell you something.)
I think Jared Jeffries is the most-important missing link right now. When he was in the rotation, the defense was fine.

What os the difference between reflux and spitting up? Thanks!
What os the difference between reflux and spitting up? Thanks!
Spitting up can be caused by a food allergy (often dairy) or just because baby eats a little more than his tiny stomach can handle. (His stomach is about as big as his fist, so there's not much room in there!) Spitting up can also happen when an air bubble gets trapped under the milk. When the bubble comes up, so does the milk.
Reflux happens when the valve at the top of the esophagus hasn't totally developed and the contents of the stomach get "refluxed" back up. This is still spitting up, but it has a different cause and it can cause pain or burning, like heartburn, for the LO. "Normal" spitting up will not be uncomfortable for the baby, but LO will usually react strongly if it's reflux.
Most babies have some small amount of reflux until the valve matures, but some babies have major cases of it. A lot of times peds will prescribe Zantac to help with it.
Dr. Sears has a very good section about reflux in The Baby Book, if that helps.
I love my kids. I care for them accordingly. What more can I say?
heres a good link!
spitting up is more of a laundary problem then a medical one.
Sometimes tweeking how baby is fed helps with spitting up.
are you worried about your baby?
Could you tell us more about her spitting up?
Thanks so much. Being in the NICU for 23 days, I noticed that a lot of preemies had 'reflux' and that makes sense from a development standpoint.

April 2, 2002
SPRINGFIELD - The Illinois Board of Higher Education has voted to recommend a measure to crack down on trafficking in bogus college degrees. The Board, meeting April 2 at Illinois State University in Normal, endorsed legislation establishing criminal penalties for individuals who falsely claim credentials from legitimate Illinois colleges and universities.
Board members also voted on the final report of the Committee to Study Nontenure-track Faculty, approved an allocation of Governor George Ryan's fiscal 2003 budget, and examined a report showing progress in achieving gender equity in intercollegiate athletics at public universities. The Board meets at 9 a.m. at the Bone Student Center on the ISU campus.
The proposed legislation is designed to counter the proliferation of Internet sites peddling false college credentials. The proposal would make it a Class A misdemeanor, punishable by up to a year in prison and up to a $2,500 fine, for an individual to use false credentials from Illinois colleges and universities for the purpose of securing business, employment, or admission to legitimate academic institutions.
The staff report on the proposal notes that a recent search found 20 Internet sites trafficking in fake degrees, including Bogusphd.com, Graduatenow.com, and Degrees-r-us.com. One site - fakedegrees.com - specifically markets false credentials from a variety of Illinois public and private universities and community colleges, including Illinois State University, where Board members will be meeting. Another site, Closedcollege.com, offers degrees, transcripts, and other documents, lists 21 Illinois institutions, and advertises a phony B.S. degree allegedly awarded a student from Metropolitan Community College of East St. Louis.
According to the staff report, most sites offer a template that permits purchasers to insert the name of the "graduate" and the "degree awarded." A few sites include realistic logos, letterhead, and other paraphernalia to put a gloss of legitimacy on forged credentials.
The report notes that "individuals who falsely hold themselves out as graduates of legitimate institutions displace legitimate graduates, lower the overall quality of the workforce, and compromise the reputation of the universities they claim to have graduated from."
The Governor's fiscal 2003 budget includes $2.6 billion in general funds for higher education operations and grants, an increase of $78 million, or 3 percent, over the FY2002 adjusted base. The Governor directed that $24.2 million be set aside for retirement, and increased funding of $936,400 for Career Academies, at least $10.4 million for the needs-based student financial aid, and $3 million for a teacher loan repayment program. The budget asks public universities to continue a FY2002 commitment of $45 million to group health insurance coverage. Governor Ryan's capital budget calls for $283.7 million in new spending for capital renewal, 18 new projects, and the second year of the Illinois Community College Board Enhanced Construction Program.
Six public universities in Illinois gave female athletes tuition waivers valued at more than $1 million in fiscal 2001 in an ongoing effort to achieve gender equity in intercollegiate athletics, according to a report Board members will review next week. Nearly $400,000 in tuition waivers were given to male athletes in FY2001 under gender equity policies approved by the General Assembly in 1995. Tuition waivers designed to balance spending for male and female sports under federal Title IX requirements are used at Chicago State University, Eastern Illinois, Western Illinois, Northern Illinois, and the Carbondale and Edwardsville campuses of Southern Illinois University.
The report shows the policies have significantly increased female participation in intercollegiate sports, which rose by 57 percent between fiscal 1995 (the year before waivers became available) and 2001. Female participation at EIU jumped 140 percent during that time frame, 137 percent at SIU-E, and 112 percent at Chicago State. There were other notable increases, even at institutions that did not offer tuition waivers to promote gender equity, such as at the University of Illinois' Springfield (106 percent) and Urbana-Champaign (100 percent) campuses.
Between FY1995 and 2001, spending on female athletic programs rose $8.5 million, or 82 percent, while spending on male sports rose $9.4 million, or 45 percent.
However, the report also notes gaps that leave room for additional
progress. Overall, women comprised 52.6 percent of full-time
enrollment at the ten universities with intercollegiate athletic
programs, but only 42 percent of athletes were female. Athletic
expenditures were even more out of whack - 38 percent of spending
goes to female sports, 62 percent to male. On the other hand,
female athletes have been improving their portion of athletic
financial aid dollars. Women made up 42 percent of participants
in intercollegiate sports in 2001 and received nearly 44 percent
of financial aid dollars related to athletics.
The committee recommended that public colleges and universities devise plans to eliminate inequities among faculty on the nontenure track and to more fully develop their teaching abilities. The report cautioned institutions to ensure that faculty paid on a part-time basis are, in reality, teaching only part time, and urges higher pay scales for nontenure-track faculty whose workload is at or close to full-time employment. Finally, the study recommended that public colleges and universities monitor hiring to ensure a balance between tenured/tenure-track faculty and nontenure-track that is educationally appropriate.

Obama the Job-Killing Owl-Killer
Welcome to the pretzel logic of liberal environmental protection: In order to "save" owls, the Obama administration is going to shoot them dead.
This is not — I repeat: not: — an Onion parody.
Over the Thanksgiving holiday, the White House released a big fat policy turkey: its final critical habitat rule for the endangered northern spotted owl. The Obama plan will lock up 9.6 million acres of land (mostly, but not all, federal) in Oregon, Washington and northern California. This is nearly double the acreage set aside by the Bush administration. Thousands of timber workers (along with untold thousands of related support jobs) will be threatened in the name of sparing a few thousand spotted owls from extinction.
As House Natural Resources Committee Chairman Doc Hastings, R-Wash., pointed out earlier this year, timber-dependent counties hit hard by the federal land grab and unending environmental litigation remain racked by high unemployment. "The loss in economic activity caused by the original spotted owl plan caused an astounding decrease in federal tax receipts of nearly $700 million per year — all from rural Northwest communities."
Despite two decades of massive government intervention and the near-destruction of the northwest timber industry, the furry bird is vanishing faster than ever. According to the Smithsonian Magazine, "(t)imber harvest on 24 million acres of federal land had dropped 90 percent from its heyday" by the year 2000. Yet, northern spotted owls are now "disappearing three times faster than biologists had feared." Indeed, spotted owl populations in key parts of Washington State "are half what they were in the 1980s." And overall, the bird has seen a 40 percent decline over the past 25 years, according to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.
Punishing loggers and bringing the timber industry to its knees have made vengeful environmental groups fat and happy. But the northern spotted owl they claim to care so much about is catastrophically worse off thanks to green zealotry. One root cause: habitat loss (thanks in part to raging wildfires resulting from poor forest management and green opposition to thinning/controlled burns).
The other major, nonhuman culprit: the barred owl.
These barred owls began migrating from the East Coast in the 1950s, and the USFWS reports that the larger, more aggressive and more adaptable birds "are known to displace spotted owls, disrupt their nesting and compete with them for food." Barred owls are more prolific breeders, less finicky about their food and less picky about where they live. They also don't bow down before the Endangered Species Act or the hallowed "threatened" status of its weaker brethren. They are brutal predators known to slam into spotted owls, slicing them with their talons and decapitating them in their nests.
Conservation groups whine that barred owls are victims of "scapegoating." But USFWS Director Dan Ashe spoke the truth earlier this year: "We can't ignore the mounting evidence that competition from barred owls is a major factor in the spotted owl's decline."
Instead of admitting failure and letting nature take its course, however, command-and-control bureaucrats have appointed themselves Mother Nature's judges, juries and executioners. Their "main priority" is "reducing competition from barred owls." How? By gunning them down. Final details are still in the works, but the agency has floated past removal schemes that involve "luring territorial barred owls into close range … using recorded calls and an owl decoy. … A shotgun would be used to prevent wounding and ensure rapid and humane death." Experts say such an eradication plan would need to continue for centuries.
Twenty years of regulatory salvation have failed the northern spotted owl. Who believes that another top-down government exercise in species engineering — this time backed with bullets — will do the trick? When the government picks winners and losers, taxpayers always get screwed. No matter the job losses. No matter the death toll. Arrogant and unaccountable central planners never give a hoot.

It's a big problem in urban areas of Honolulu -- pigeons. Until now, those wanting to control the population had to kill the birds.
Enter bird birth control. At least one Waikiki landowner says it works!
If you go to the International Marketplace, you'll notice something is missing: pigeons and pigeon poop. That's because about a year ago, landowner Queen Emma Land Company began a pigeon birth control program called OvoControl.
Since then, the company saw about a 60 percent decrease in the number of pigeons.
"So, initially there were hundreds, if not thousands, of pigeons that you could see basically at any time of the day," said Inga Gibson of the Humane Society of the U.S. "Now, when we walk through, the reduction in the number of pigeons is really noticeable."
A video from the company that produces OvoControl shows how it works. Feeders are set up to distribute the product to the pigeons who gobble it up.
"As long as they are getting fed the bait once a day, they are contracepted," said Gibson. "It's completely non-toxic, environmentally safe and, of course, humane."
Queen Emma Land officials say they're pleased and say their maintenance costs are down.
Gibson is hoping Waikiki hotels and businesses will pick up the idea, as well as state and city offices.
State officials told KITV4 News they are looking into using OvoControl for the state capitol where birds and bird poop continue to be a constant problem.
Just last year, the state spend $25,000 to replace the worn netting at the capitol that is supposed to keep the birds away.
Gibson says the bait and system costs about $8.50 a day, depending on the pigeon population size. She says as the pigeon population goes down, the bait costs decrease as well.

This is not your father's Internet. When the Web was first emerging onto the scene, it was simple. Individual web pages were self-contained static blobs of text, with, if you were lucky maybe an image or two. The HTTP protocol was designed to be "dumb". It knew nothing of the relationship between an HTML page and the images it contained. There was no need to. Every request for a URI (web page, image, download, etc.) was a completely separate request. That kept everything simple, and made it very fault tolerant. A server never sat around waiting for a browser to tell it "OK, I'm done!"
Much e-ink has been spilled (can you even do that?) already discussing the myriad of ways in which the web is different today, mostly in the context of either HTML5 or web applications (or both). Most of it is completely true, although there's plenty of hyperbole to go around. One area that has not gotten much attention at all, though, is HTTP.
Well, that's not entirely true. HTTP is actually a fairly large spec, with a lot of exciting moving parts that few people think about because browsers offer no way to use them from HTML or just implement them very very badly. (Did you know that there is a PATCH command defined in HTTP? Really.) A good web services implementation (like we're trying to bake into Drupal 8 as part of the Web Services and Context Core Initiative </shamelessplug>) should leverage those lesser-known parts, certainly, but the modern web has more challenges than just using all of a decades-old spec.
Most significantly, HTTP still treats all URIs as separate, only coincidentally-related resources.
Which brings us to an extremely important challenge of the modern web that is deceptively simple: Caching.
I've spoken a great deal recently about architectural priorities. In short, we as software developers cannot eat our cake and have it too. Improving flexibility in one area may hurt performance, while improving usability one another area may hinder flexibility. These trade-offs are not necessarily right or wrong, except in the context of the goals and purpose of the project with respect to its target audience.
But what is Drupal's target audience, and how does that impact our architectural decisions?
DrupalCon Copenhagen was a watershed event in terms of understanding how to conceptualize that question, in my view, based on conversations I had with the likes of Mark Boulton, Jen Simmons, and Sam Boyer. In his (excellent) keynote, Jeremy Keith noted that the HTML5 Working Group had a specific, defined set of priorities:
In case of conflict, consider users over authors over implementers over specifiers over theoretical purity.
That may be a good priority order; it may be bad. That depends on your point of view and your goals. It lays out the order in which different stakeholders should be listened to, and if you come to a decision where you have to screw one group over to benefit another how that decision should be made. Having such a clear understanding of your constituent priority is critical to making good, consistent architectural decisions.
So what are Drupal's priorities?

Alison Rhodes, "The
Safety Mom"
National Child Safety Expert, Alison Rhodes, "The Safety Mom," is one of the country's
leading child safety authorities, providing tips and advice to parents on a broad
range of issues facing all children - newborns to teens. Read
Congratulations, you are going to have a baby! You have told all of your family and friends, even going so far as to tell the joyful news to your furry, four-legged "kids." As the months progress you notice Kitty, who is perched on your lap, is now closely guarding her position as Rover, appearing needy, moves in to be close to you. You may find yourself wondering if your pets understand what is happening and if they will accept the new baby as a member of the family. Although there is no single thing you can do to guarantee that the transition will be easy for your pets, there are a few things you can do to make the change a little easier on all concerned.
The first thing to do is make an appointment with your veterinarian to make sure Kitty and Rover are in tiptop health and all their vaccinations are up-to-date. While there, be sure to tell him or her that you are expecting, and ask about restrictions on what you can and cannot do with your pets while pregnant. Ask the vet for advice on preparing the pets for a new baby. Most veterinarians will be happy to offer tips that will help both Kitty and Rover adjust to the new arrival.
Remember that Rover and Kitty are members of your family. They have become accustomed to your attention and their lifestyle. The closer you can maintain the same routines for them after the baby is born, the easier the transition will be. This means that whenever possible keep up the daily walks, petting rituals, and evening snuggles. If you know that your routine is going to change after baby is born, it is best to adjust it now with your pets, before baby enters the scene.
You will need to establish some boundaries for Kitty, who may be used to going where she pleases in the house. Blowing up some balloons and placing them in areas where you want to discourage her from going can help. The squeaking and loud popping sounds the balloons make, as well as the occasional balloon clinging to her fur from static electricity, should be enough to convince her to avoid these areas at all costs. Filling the bassinet or crib with balloons and allowing Kitty to jump in will quickly teach her that she does not want to be there.
Washing Rover's blanket in the same laundry soap you plan to wash the baby's bedding and clothing with will help the adjustment beforehand. The most helpful thing for Rover would be to have dad bring home a receiving blanket from the hospital that was used by your baby. This will help Rover adjust to the new scent of baby far more quickly.
Once your new baby arrives at home, it is important to pay special attention to your pets, especially in those first few days when baby comes home. If possible, have Dad pay attention to them while you feed the baby. Then have Dad burp the baby while you take your turn paying attention to Kitty and Rover.

My former boss at The Dispatch once told me that the only person in town who is second-guessed more often than the newspaper editor is the Ohio State football coach.
The truth is that we even second-guess ourselves.
It's healthy to ask ourselves whether we'd make the same decisions with the benefit of hindsight, and how we can learn from those decisions.
On Monday night, as we juggled late-breaking stories, we made some decisions that we believe were correct. As I hung up the phone after talking with News Editor Danny Goodwin at about 10:30 p.m., I thought about whether readers would make the same decisions.
Achieving unanimous agreement is impossible, but your emails and letters always help us understand where you stand on certain issues. And we value your feedback.
One of the decisions we made late in the evening involved a story about an elderly brother and sister who were living in a garage in Athens County. The garage became their home when their house burned down about two years ago, leaving them to live without a bathroom or running water.
The 88-year-old woman was found burned so severely by a kerosene heater that her leg appeared to have melted into the chair on which she sat. The 73-year-old man was naked. The garage was in deplorable condition, with the deputy sheriff describing it as being crammed with trash and debris, including waist-high piles of feces and mounds of rotting food.
The question two copy editors asked: Would identifying them be fair?
I'm not repeating the names now because I don't want to be gratuitous, but we named them in the news story.
Our thinking: They had done nothing wrong and were in obvious need of help. Friends or family members who have lost touch with the siblings would want to know that they were in need, both financially and emotionally. And, candidly, our community is full of generous people with the desire and ability to help them.
Some will believe the story is sensational — because the facts are hard to fathom. But we published their story on an inside page, not Page One. I would hope reasonable people will not accuse us of printing the story or naming these folks to sell newspapers, because you had to buy the paper to find the story.
We decided not to name the siblings in a follow-up story for today's paper because today's news is less about them and more about an alarming spike in the number of self-neglect cases involving the elderly in Ohio.
As we wrap up our week of Thanksgiving, aren't we thankful for law-enforcement officers such as Mike Burba, who sensed something was wrong and was able to talk himself inside the Athens County garage? We can only imagine what would have happened to the seniors had he not been so persistent.
Before deciding whether to name these folks in the first story, we had to decide whether to use a quote from Ohio State coach Urban Meyer.
At his weekly Monday news conference, the coach was explaining when he fully understood how intense the rivalry is with Michigan.
Columnist Bob Hunter quoted Meyer: "Yeah, it was kind of funny. I was driving to work on a Monday morning. I was a 21-year-old graduate assistant, and I look up on those twin towers by the stadium, and it says 'Muck Fichigan' (on the) sheets hanging off. I said, 'That is really cool right there.' . . . Someone made them take it down."
The quote gave me pause.
Use it? Don't use it?
We did. Here's why: We know that in his short tenure at Ohio State, Meyer has proved to be a skilled communicator. He says what he thinks, and thinks about what he says. He didn't use foul language in this case, but in telling the story helped everyone understand the intensity of the rivalry.
Besides, I've seen the expression is on T-shirts around town for years.
So, readers, what would you have done?

GENOA, Wis. -- A Vernon County Highway Department worker setting up construction signs is injured after a teen driver hits him with a car.
Gary Becker, 51 from La Farge, was behind a highway department truck with another worker setting up the signs Monday morning on Highway 56 in Genoa.
The Vernon County Sheriff's Department says Becker was hit in the back by the side mirror of a car driven by 17-year-old Jesse Olson of Gays Mills. Olson's car also hit the highway department truck.
Becker had back and lower leg injuries, but did not ask for medical attention. Olson and the other highway department worker were not injured.
Investigators tell News 8 both highway department workers were wearing safety vests.
No citations have been issued, but the crash remains under investigation.

Focus on Fossils
Oh man. One of my favorite topics. Focus on the Family, James Dobson and the complete absence of logic and reason. This is the man who accepts the biblical book of Leviticus' definition of homosexuality as an abomination but ridicules Sen. Obama's "fruitcake interpretation" of the Bible when Obama mentioned some obviously outdated passages from the same book. For Mr. Dobson, the only rules in the Bible that apply are those that help him retain his perch as the Right's watchdog of doctrine.
In some ways, "purist" baseball fans and Mr. Dobson have a lot in common. They both like to talk about the good ol' days, when things were pure and simple but also manage to ignore the irony when they take advantage of how much better things have gotten since those days. By the same token, they like to pick and choose which parts of the ancien regime they like and which are just anachronisms.
Sorry guys, you don't get it both ways. If Leviticus convinces you that homosexuality is an abomination and we have to live with that as the rule, we also need to accept that slavery is all right because Leviticus says that, too. And if the DH destroys the purity of baseball, then so does the fact that players have to remove their gloves and equipment from the field while batting. Times change and ideas and games must evolve if they want to stay relevant.
For instance, the idea of faith used to be commonly accepted, everything happens for a reason and sometimes you just have to accept that because you can't understand it. Nope. Sorry. That's not always true. Katrina destroyed New Orleans because the levees were not up to par, not because god was mad at America. And the Cardinals didn't make any moves at the deadline because they have crappy management, not because the management knows something we don't. In fact, to be fair, you can say the same thing about the Tigers' trade for Kyle Farnsworth.
So, where does this all leave us at the end of the day? Simple. Baseball is a game that has evolved and because of that, it grows more popular every year. And James Dobson is a fossilized relic of another time and like all fossils we should look at him and take the story of his demise as a warning for ourselves.
5 Comments
Obviously it's a clever argument to compare people who don't like the DH to right wing evangelical neo-cons, but this is exactly the method that the likes of Sean Hannity use when trying to do down Obama. Tenuous connections stretched to breaking point.
The DH isn't wrong because it's progress, it's wrong because it places the emphasis on power and brute force over subtlety and thought. You could even say that the DH represents the Bush/Cheney view of the world and the National league represents the progressive thinking man's view.
If the game has to change then it has to be change that we can believe in.
I love the last line, Russell. I agree that the argument is tenuous at best but that's the beauty of blogs. You can make ad hominem attacks on your friends and not even have to worry about the repercussions. In fact, the more outlandish your claim, the more likely you'll pick up a readership. I love America!
I can't accept that outlandish claims bring in readers. In fact I discuss this on my latest entry "Obama- Was He The Brains Behind 9/11?"
Now, now, everybody. I think we all know that Russell is right here and since Russell has left more comments on this blog than Allen has posts, I defer to Arizona… via Slough of course.
Good Post.

Education that prepares students to compete for jobs in the global economy must be a top priority for business, industry and education leaders, Georgia Lt. Gov. Casey Cagle warned a crowd of nearly 200 at the College and Career Academy Summit this week, according to the Rome News-Tribune.
"Each of us has the chance to shape what this economy and what this future for all of us is going to look like," Cagle said Thursday. "It's a huge responsibility… Quite honestly I don't think there is anything, as a public policy maker, that is more important today than the education system in this state."
The three-day event featured the theme "Business and Education Partnerships: Success in Action" and was hosted by Floyd County College and Career Academy and Georgia Northwestern Technical College. Leaders were scheduled to address workforce skills gaps in health care, technology, manufacturing and energy amidst a growing regional interest in the career academy movement.
According to Rome News-Tribune, Cagle said that significant economic opportunities have been rising in the U.S. because of events occurring in Asia and Europe, companies such as the manufacturing giant Caterpillar Inc. and Baxter, a pharmaceutical company, are bringing work opportunities to Georgia.
"What is interesting about those industries is that they are all located where there was a college and career academy," Cagle said. "We're leading the nation in workforce development because of … what we're doing with our college and career academies."
Floyd County Schools College and Career Academy have experienced a "powerful transformation" that has encouraged partnerships between secondary and postsecondary education, and the business community, according to a Floyd County Schools news release. On Friday, discussions were designed to focus on the enhancement and expansion of career academy development.

- Finite-temperature phase diagram of a spin-polarized ultracold Fermi gas in a highly elongated harmonic trap
- Author(s)

- Abstract
- We investigate the finite-temperature properties of an ultracold atomic Fermi gas with spin population imbalance in a highly elongated harmonic trap. Previous studies at zero temperature showed that the gas stays in an exotic spatially inhomogeneous Fulde-Ferrell-Larkin-Ovchinnikov (FFLO) superfluid state at the trap center; while moving to the edge, the system changes into either a nonpolarized Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer superfluid (P< Pc) or a fully polarized normal gas (P> Pc), depending on the smallness of the spin polarization P, relative to a critical value Pc. In this work, we show how these two phase-separation phases evolve with increasing temperature, and thereby construct a finite-temperature phase diagram. For typical interactions, we find that the exotic FFLO phase survives below one-tenth of Fermi degeneracy temperature, which seems to be accessible in the current experiment. The density profile, equation of state, and specific heat of the polarized system have been calculated and discussed in detail. Our results are useful for the ongoing experiment at Rice University on the search for FFLO states in quasi-one-dimensional polarized Fermi gases.

Choriocarcinoma is a fast-growing form of cancer that occurs in a woman's uterus (womb). The abnormal cells start in the tissue that would normally become the placenta. This is the organ that develops during pregnancy to feed the fetus.
Choriocarcinoma is a type of gestational trophoblastic disease.
Choriocarcinoma is an uncommon cancer that occurs during pregnancy. A baby may or may not develop in this type of pregnancy.
The cancer may occur after a normal pregnancy. But it most often occurs with a complete hydatidiform mole. The abnormal tissue from the mole can continue to grow even after it is removed, and can turn into cancer. About half of all women with a choriocarcinoma had a hydatidiform mole, or molar pregnancy.
Choriocarcinomas may also occur after an early pregnancy that does not continue (miscarriage), or after an ectopic pregnancy or genital tumor.
A possible symptom is abnormal or irregular vaginal bleeding in a woman who recently had a hydatidiform mole or pregnancy.
Other symptoms may include:
- Irregular vaginal bleeding
- Pain
Exams and Tests
A pregnancy test will be positive even if you are not pregnant. The pregnancy hormone (HCG) level will be high.
A pelvic exam may show uterine swelling or a tumor.
Blood tests that may be done include:
Imaging tests that may be done include:
- CT scan
You should be carefully monitored after a hydatidiform mole or at the end of a pregnancy. Early diagnosis of choriocarcinoma can improve the outcome.
After you are diagnosed, a careful history and exam will be done to make sure the cancer has not spread to other organs. Chemotherapy is the main type of treatment.
Hysterectomy and radiation therapy are rarely needed.
Support Groups
You can ease the stress of illness by joining a cancer support group. Sharing with others who have common experiences and problems can help you not feel alone.
Outlook (Prognosis)
Most women whose cancer has not spread can be cured and will still be able to have children. A choriocarcinoma may come back within a few months to 3 years after treatment.
The condition is harder to cure if the cancer has spread and one or more of the following happens:
- Disease spreads to the liver or brain
- Pregnancy hormone (HCG) level is higher than 40,000 milli-international units per milliliter (mIU/mL) when treatment begins
- Cancer returns after having chemotherapy
- Symptoms or pregnancy occurred for more than 4 months before treatment began
- Choriocarcinoma occurred after a pregnancy that resulted in the birth of a child
Many women (about 70%) who have a poor outlook at first go into remission (a disease-free state).
When to Contact a Medical Professional
Call for an appointment with your health care provider if you develop symptoms within 1 year after a hydatidiform mole or pregnancy.

I was going to give this album a 6, but surprisingly, it gets catchy at it's ending Venom always do the same thing: More than ten tracks on the album, half of them great and the other half boring. "Powerdrive", "Burn this place to the Ground", "Suffer not the Children" and "Too loud (For the Crowd)" are amongst the best venom tracks ever, along with the instrumental "Wing and a Prayer" and the silly and funny "Voyeur". These tracks grabs the attention of the listeners, giving the album a bit high rating. The other tracks are boring or just "venom"... or even both

I listened to this album several times after that post and I noticed that I was overrating it.

Schiller announces Illinois schools chosen for national education project
All State Schools to Benefit from Resources
Further information: 217/782-4648
Springfield – State Superintendent of Education Robert E. Schiller today praised the selection of nine Illinois schools to participate in the federally funded "Following the Leaders" project: Leepertown Elementary District 175 (Bureau County); the elementary, jr. high and high schools in Virginia District 64 (Cass County); and Rock Island District 41's Lincoln Elementary, Longfellow Elementary, Thurgood Marshall Learning Center, Washington Jr. High and Edison Jr. High (Rock Island County).
Following the Leaders is an initiative funded by the U.S. Department of Education to provide schools with direct services – including teacher training and online support – to help them meet the requirements of the new federal No Child Left Behind Act.
Building on existing resources, participating schools will begin to use technology that links lesson planning and classroom assessment to state standards and annual testing. In addition, schools throughout the state will now have access to an online resource center that provides a comprehensive library of curriculum guides and teaching activities – also aligned with state standards.
"This is an exciting opportunity for these schools and for our whole state," Schiller said. "Teachers and principals will become a driving force behind our efforts to comply with the law and ensure academic achievement for all Illinois students."
Illinois was among six states selected to launch Following the Leaders; a total of 28 states applied to participate. As an early leader in No Child Left Behind implementation, Illinois will demonstrate to the nation that the dramatic changes in public education brought by the new legislation can become standard practice in the classroom.
Joining Illinois are Alaska, Mississippi, Pennsylvania, Tennessee and West Virginia. Close to 34,000 students, representing 64 schools, will benefit from the school-based resources made available by Following the Leaders in the first part of the 2002-03 school year.
At the core of No Child Left Behind are a number of measures designed to significantly improve student achievement, and to further focus the efforts of states and schools on academic progress. This emphasis is intended to close the achievement gap among students and to ensure all children have the educational opportunities they need to succeed.
To truly have an impact on individual student performance, parents, teachers, administrators and policymakers must have ready access to accurate information. Following the Leaders brings the systems to make this communication a reality and ensures that everyone has the data needed to make better-informed decisions.
Upon selection to participate in Following the Leaders, Illinois was required to: mobilize a leadership team; host informational meetings; identify and prepare schools eligible for participation; provide detailed technical specifications for each of the schools; begin a comprehensive needs assessment; and offer statewide access to the Achieve Resource Center.
A delegation of state education leaders and legislators represented Illinois at the first of two Accountability Institutes, September 20-21 in Chantilly, Virginia, as part of the Following the Leaders project.
About Following the Leaders
Following the Leaders is a nationwide initiative coordinated by the Education Leaders Council in partnership witdation and the Thomas B. Fordham Foundation. Funding for Followingh Project Achieve, AccountabilityWorks, the Milken Family Foundation and the Thomas B. Fordham Foundation. Funding for Following the Leaders was awarded by the U.S. Department of Education June 28, 2002. For more information visit: www.followingtheleaders.org.

Laurier professor recognized with Petro-Canada Young Innovator Award to fund research in cognitive neuroscience
University Advancement
Communications, Public Affairs & Marketing
Jul 6/06
Laurier psychology professor Dr. Sukhvinder Obhi has been awarded the Petro-Canada Young Innovator Award worth $7,500 to study the functional and neural processes involved in the planning, perception and performance of human motor actions. Obhis work attempts to uncover interactions between the cognitive, perceptual, and motor systems in a variety of task contexts, including interlimb co-ordination and real-time and memory guided movements.
Obhi joined WLU in July 2005 and continues to develop the Cognition in Action Laboratory. Were very interested in how the brain processes information when people perform a given motor action in different contexts, says Obhi. We are always looking to recruit outstanding graduate students who are interested in studying how the brain generates, controls and consciously perceives motor actions.
Obhi received a PhD in cognitive neuroscience from University College London, in England. As a graduate student, he also spent time at Harvard Medical School in the U.S. where he had the opportunity to use a state-of-the-art technique called TMS (Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation). TMS is a useful tool for investigating the brain areas involved in various action tasks. He hopes to bring this type of technology to Laurier. Upon completion of his PhD, Obhi came to Canada to do a post-doctoral fellowship at the University of Western Ontario.
Were very fortunate to have Obhi join the Laurier team, says Dr. Arthur Szabo, Lauriers dean of science. This award will help strengthen cognitive neuroscience research.
Students interested in joining Dr. Obhis lab can contact him via email at email@example.com.
The Petro-Canada Young Innovators Award was created by an endowed donation from Petro-Canada to Campaign Laurier in 1999. The award supports young faculty whose academic work is particularly innovative and has the potential to be significant for society at large.
Petro-Canada created the Petro-Canada Young Innovator Awards Program in 1995 to recognize and help support the work of outstanding young faculty researchers at Canadian universities, colleges and major research institutes. The program has been established at more than 20 centres across Canada and is administered by the respective institute.
Since its inception, nearly $5 million has been contributed to the program and there have been 87 recipients from 24 institutes.
