"We give each student a lot of attention at Transylvania, and in a field like chemistry that's really important."
Chemistry teachers wrestle with how to keep their students engaged in a subject requiring intense concentration. Bob Rosenberg has found a way to use an unexpected tactic—humor—to accomplish that task.
He loves spontaneity, whether it's a fire alarm going off during class or a funny story thrown, without warning, into the middle of a lecture.
"After about 15 to 20 minutes, if it looks like their eyes are glazed over, I'll talk about something else," he explains. "Like, 'I was walking to school the other day, and this guy just cut me off. And it was so rude—do you guys drive like this?' And I'll riff on that for 30 seconds or a minute, and then I'll go back. For them it's a surprise, and for me it's calculated."
Rosenberg, who is a fan of comedians Jon Stewart, Jerry Seinfeld, and Woody Allen, says students often respond to that element of surprise and are more likely to stay with him during his classes.
"I see myself on stage in class. It's easy to do. When an audience expects you to be funny, that's very hard. If they expect you to teach chemistry, the bar is not very high for being funny. Whether I'm funny or they're laughing at me is irrelevant. I win in both cases because they're relaxing a little bit, and they can get their brain out of anxiety mode into learning mode."
Rosenberg specializes in mechanistic organic chemistry and is currently studying carbon fluorine bonds. He introduces fluorine, which is not a naturally occurring organic element, into molecules and sees what those molecules do. His students help with the research, which allows students to succeed or fail in a real lab situation.
"There's so much up and down time in the lab—it's like starting your car on a cold winter day. When you're young, there's a lot of waiting. As you mature, there's less of it. I have to decide: I can either tell them how to be efficient, or I can let them be inefficient and thereby learn on their own. It's typically a mix of the two. That's the tension in teaching."
In his spare time, Rosenberg is an avid squash player, and he can routinely be seen winning game after game against students in the William T. Young Campus Center.

Arrival of the F-5A
A Northrop F-5A Freedom Fighter joined the collection at Pacific Aviation Museum Pearl Harbor. The F-5A was a lightweight, low maintenance, single-seat fighter designed and built by Northrop in the 1950s. Although it never became a fighter aircraft for the U.S., Northrop exported hundreds of F-5As around the world during the 1960s and 1970s to U.S. allies.
The Museum's F-5A Freedom Fighter was donated by Chuck Thornton, president of Thornton Aircraft Company. It joins the Museum's growing collection of 35+ historic aircraft. Shipping was provided by Matson. For more information on the history of the F-5A click here.

May 1, 2003: A dusty spiral galaxy appears to be rotating on edge, like a pinwheel, as it slides through the larger, bright galaxy NGC 1275, in this NASA Hubble Space Telescope image. These images, taken with Hubble's Wide Field Planetary Camera 2 (WFPC2), show traces of spiral structure accompanied by dramatic dust lanes and bright blue regions that mark areas of active star formation.See the rest:
Detailed observations of NGC 1275 indicate that the dusty material belongs to a spiral system seen nearly edge-on in the foreground. The second galaxy, lying beyond the first, appears as a luminous spiral. These galaxies are believed to be colliding at over 6 million miles per hour.

text: Oh that can be so hard How old is she again? What she is probably doing is boosting your supply for a growth spurt and also doing some comfort sucking . My next advice will not be accepted by all but IF and only IF you have NO nipple confusion at all and you feel that your bfing relationship is completely established then, MAYBE, MAYBE you could offer her a paci ( being in England you may call it a dummy?! ) My ds had a very strong need to suck all of the time and for a short period we did use one just so that I could go to the loo etc.. Why don't you try to swaddle her very tightly, give her a dummy, and put her in a swing for a little while? It is up to you but after 8-9 hrs of constant nursing I know that you are ready for a break?!?

well,it all started at the 4 mos visit (!) ped checked DS said it was doing very well and then.. you can start to give him some grated apple or pear!
I asked if it was not too young and she said it was fine.
of course I didn't give DS any solid and at his 5 mos visit ped asked "so did you give him some apple?" "nope" and she said I absolutely have to start before 6 mos because he needs to GET USED TO THE SPOON!!!
OMG how am I going to tell her we want to do BLS?
we already discuss everytime because we are totally no-vax friendly...in 15 days we have the 6 mos visit...I feel so bad because I neither want to lie nor argue..any advice?

Since 1980, with the inception of the Texas Assessment of Basic Skills, the first attempt to find out what students in the Texas schools learned during the year and an attempt to curb the fees for students taking the California Assessment of Basic Skills, I have watched as an observer and teacher whose students would take the test at the end of the year. I became a proponent of end-of-the-year testing during my second year as a high school English teacher – the year English IV became a requirement – when, at the end of the year, one of my students failed English IV because he could not read. He had just been passed on because of who his family was. I have seen the end of this train of thought in the 32 years I taught.
Now, the state has consistently made the test harder and added the report card to the mix, which has the local superintendents looking at what their schools are doing and why. Dr. Thomas recently published her opinion on why the disparity exists between BISD and the smaller surrounding schools. That could be one reason. She cannot address the biggest reason because she wants to remain in the system. That reason is the disparity of how schools are measured in the area of special populations. Of all the schools BISD is measured against, Tuloso-Midway is the only one judged by the same standards. The smaller schools get their special populations problems waived by state decree that a small group of students cannot be measured by the same percentage formula.
In any other circumstance, people would cry foul play. Property taxes divide homes and property into groups by factors such as composition and use. Football players follow the same pattern and divide schools into groups by population. When the game is played, all players on the field are judged by the same rules. Why is this not possible for AYP (Annual Yearly Progress)? If reports and newspapers are going to publish and compare, why is the basis for judgment not the same for all schools? This unfair comparison method has forced all kinds of expensive rules on the larger districts and not the smaller.
While I won't tell you that I could see no problems with BISD as a parent, I will tell you that both of my daughters graduated from BISD in the top of their classes. One began her college career with 42 college hours with a cost of less than $1,500 and the other with 57 college hours at less than $2,200. Not to mention the full scholarship that each received. The first is employed by Valero Corporate in San Antonio. The second is on the President's List at UTSA. But for a choice I made at one point, one of my daughters would have been a member of one of those special populations. All in all, I thank the teachers of BISD and First Baptist Church School for the success of my children.

/ Grassland Reserve Program (GRP)
Sign up for E-mail updates on GRP and Other Easement Programs
The Grassland Reserve Program (GRP) is a voluntary program that assists landowners and operators with conserving and restoring grassland resources on eligible private lands through rental contracts, easements, and restoration agreements. GRP emphasizes supporting haying and grazing operations, maintaining and improving plant and animal biodiversity and protecting grasslands from the threat of conversion to other uses.
Landowners who agree to keep their land in grass can receive annual payments through 10, 15, or 20-year rental contracts, or they can apply for permanent grassland easements that offer a larger lump sum payment.
For Easements: applicants must own the land
For Rental Contracts: applicants must either own the land or have control of land for the life of the contract.
Applicants must meet conservation compliance requirements for Highly Erodible Land and Wetlands Conservation, and not exceed current Adjusted Gross Income (AGI) requirements for participants in USDA Conservation Programs.
There is no minimum acreage for enrollment.
Private Land is eligible. Publically owned land is not eligible for GRP.
will be required to follow a grazing management plan based on the NRCS prescribed grazing standard for pasture land, or based on the Forage Harvest Management standard for hayland.
Land must be one of the following:
All Grasslands Reserve Program easements are subject to restrictions on grazing, haying, mowing and harvesting for seed production during the nesting and brood rearing season for ground nesting birds, which lasts from April 15th through August 1st. All land enrolled under easements and rental agreements must set aside a minimum of 10 contiguous acres or 20 percent, whichever is larger, to be managed as wildlife habitat for ground nesting birds. The ground nesting bird wildlife habitat acres can be rotated throughout the entire enrolled acreage on a yearly basis.
In order to meet the wildlife habitat requirement of GRP, rental contract participants will meet the wildlife requirement as determined by the "Pennsylvania Wildlife Habitat Evaluation Pasture and Permanent Hayland – Grassland Birds" worksheet (PDF, 48KB). Rental contract holders must score an overall score (Index) of 50 percent (0.5 Index) to ensure adequate nesting and brood rearing habitat for grassland birds. The worksheet evaluates both existing and planned activities. Potential participants who do not meet the minimum score for existing management can improve their score (Planned Condition) through planned practices and still meet the wildlife habitat requirement for GRP.
NRCS will accept GRP applications on a continuous basis year round. Applications will be ranked monthly until funding expires. Applicants who were not approved for funding this year can request their application be retained for consideration next year. Producers may fill out an application form and apply at any USDA Farm Service Agency or Natural Resources Conservation Service office. Click here for a list of offices and their contact information. Landowners who are applying for an easement must provide a copy of their deed to verify ownership. Operators who are applying for a rental contract and do not own the land must provide proof of control of land for the life of the rental contract.

This beautifully carved stone composite meditating Buddha plate depicts the most prominent Buddha authority figure Shaykamuni in Padmasana Asana, the well known lotus position. His left hand is in the Bhumisparsa mudra, which mens touching the earth, to invoke the earth as a witness to the truth of his words. The flames are symbols of eternal lights. The lotus throne Shaykamuni is sitting on is held by a strong heavenly God, or Luo Han, the two standing Buddhist monks serve as devotees and protector of the Buddhist God Shaykamuni. Note just below the two Buddhist monks are two additional Buddhists in the kneeling praying position holding a lotus stem. Just below the Lua Han are carvings of two Kirin, the mystical creature that symbolizes good luck. The side and back of the statue consists of carvings that says the following: "Praying above for the Pu Sa (Pu sa - Buddha God), Saving all of the people below on earth". In the middle of the back plate is the carving of Swastika, the symbol of the law; sign of good fortune. It is one of the 65 signs of buddhahood which can be seen in Buddha's footprint. This amazing marble stone statue consists of elegant and well thought out designs on all four sides. An elegantly executed statue that makes a wonderful Garden or home focal point. A Beautiful piece that can be placed indoors and outdoors. This special piece was a rescued find from a formal Shan Dong monk school's backyard garden. Monk schools were schools that taught Buddhist philosophy, with heavy Chinese Taoism influence. Since Monks do not eat meat, every monk school has its own vegetable garden that produced vegetables for the monks. Refer to S1205 for its back side of the carvings. Size: 10" by 6" by 18". Weight: 40 lbs.

Blur ReviewBy Tim Stevens - Posted May 25, 2010
Blur pledges kart-style racing for adults with its combat-infused gameplay mixed with beautifully rendered supercars. But, if you can't release your inner child and dive into some online hijinks, you might have a hard time enjoying this one.
The Pros
- Incredibly polished presentation
- Plenty of replayability online
- Fast-paced online action
The Cons
- Racing takes a back seat to fighting
- Chaotic online multiplayer gets frustrating
- Car physics too far from reality
While the Burnout series waits on an engine rebuild before devastating the competition on-track again, there's room on the market for a new breed of high-impact, adrenaline-fueled racers. Blur is one of the models trying to fill that void and at the same time, allows developer Bizarre Creations to try and shake itself free of Project Gotham Racing and establish a new franchise. Despite the automotive theme, Blur is a big departure from the various PGR entries, and while this is not necessarily a game for fans of Bizarre's previous work, those intent on bending fenders will feel a bit more comfortable.
Obvious Comparisons
It's hard to avoid calling Blur a fusion of Project Gotham Racing and Mario Kart (not unlike calling PGR a hybrid of Gran Turismo and Need for Speed). Take the licensed autos, the superficial crash damage, and the funky presentation of the former then blend in the silly power-ups and the "last to first to last again" frustration of the latter and you have something of an idea of what Bizarre's latest is all about.
There are multiple gameplay modes at hand here, but the primary one is combat-focused racing. You face off with up to 19 white-knuckled adrenaline junkies and try to complete a number of laps around a variety of circuits faster than everyone else while staying out of trouble and out of those 19 sets of crosshairs.
Scattered about the courses are icons representing each of the eight power-ups available, like the fire-and-forget shunt (ala the red turtle shell), the shock attack (lightning that targets the leaders, not unlike a blue turtle shell), mines, turbo boosts, and shields. Most projectiles can be fired forward or backward and it's important to use them in both directions. Focus entirely on what's ahead and an opponent will quickly fill your tailpipe with fire and brimstone, but keep your head on a swivel and you might make it for 30 seconds or so without getting blasted – maybe.
Getting your Crash On
Offline, you're presented with a series of challenges grouped into nine sets containing things like races, time trials, and some mindless shooting of brain-dead opponents. Complete a set of challenges, then beat an end-boss and you'll unlock a new special car and a new special ability like boosted shields or extra ammo. Meanwhile, you'll be earning experience in the form of fans, groupies who show their appreciation of your on-track prowess by filling your garage with savory autos. There is plenty to unlock here and, while it won't keep you occupied as long as some of Bizarre's previous efforts, the online component makes up for that.
There the career is much the same, again unlocking cars and power-ups as you earn experience based on how well you perform. Racing with power-ups is still the primary mode, with up to 20 players competing at once, but there is also arena-based combat and even honest-to-gosh racing without weapons. However, that action will leave you wanting thanks to the unrewarding physics. Some cars grip and some cars slip, and while drifting is certainly encouraged it feels far too detached from reality. Meanwhile, "motor mash" arena combat is unsatisfying because the cars are so fast; competitors fly in and out of your sights in a flash, leaving everything chaotic and random. It's less "hunter vs. hunted" as much as it is a barrel full of monkeys -- with guns.
Combat racing is similarly chaotic; it's played out in a frantic nature that people will either love or hate. You can easily be off in the lead in a race, get knocked over a cliff or into a barricade by an opponent and get zapped again by a mid-pack racer only to find yourself last. From here you might claw your way up to the middle again, but victory will be out of reach. There is certainly skill involved here and a better competitor will finish higher on average, but one great racer won't be able to fend off attacks from 19 trigger-happy rookies. Bizarre's previous racers were all about celebrating driving prowess, while Blur embraces random acts of violence. That's not to say a little carnage can't be fun, but constantly being pummeled by attacks out of the blue quickly becomes frustrating. Blur's biggest problem is that unlike a genre standard bearer such as Mario Kart, it throws too many cars at you, and such a high number of weaponized vehicles destroys the balancing. Factor in the idea that Nintendo's game doles out the power-ups based on your performance and not on a constant location on the race course, and you can see the contrast between an ambitious kart racer and the genre juggernaut.
Thankfully, soothing techno tunes will bring that blood pressure back down as soon as you hit the menus, part of an overall package of audio and visual treats that delight from the first moment the disc loads to the second your once shiny Lotus Exige expires in a dazzling ball of fire. From fireworks popping on the beach to heavy beats stirring from a mid-course nightclub, Bizarre Creations has always paid incredible attention to the little details of a game and has really outdone itself with Blur. Likewise, online performance is solid, and while we did see the occasional car warping, things were generally smooth during my time invested in races. Crazy, but smooth.
In Blur, skill at driving definitely takes a back seat to one's ability to attack and defend against 19 other cars, which becomes the primary focus here. Instead of finesse-heavy racing made more intense by the addition of power-ups, you have a simplistic driving game flooded with projectiles. There's certainly a fair amount of fun to be had, but the constant barrage and the bare-bones physics leaves this feeling like any other kart racer: a little bit shallow. That's fine if you really just want another kart racer (especially one with a lot of goodies to unlock), but not if you were instead hoping for something a little bit special. Blur is a good game, but as a hybrid of two fairly disparate subgenres of racing games, it's not the dream combination you'd expect.

Beauty Tip: How To Make Your Makeup Powder Products Perform Like Brand New
Have you ever wondered why some of your powder products suddenly stop working like before? Like somehow your brush picks up less product from the same pan, somehow it doesn't glide on as smoothly on the lids, somehow the color is not as pigmented, somehow it doesn't last as long as before?
MAC Shroom eyeshadow was the one that got me thinking.
Shroom is described as a 'soft muted golden beige with opalescent shimmer' and is well-loved for its soft and subtle neutral beige color. I love it as a brow bone highlight as it's not overbearing like some highlight shades that are either too glittery or too pale.
For example, Virgin from Urban Decay is a little too pale and leans slightly pink, not too good for my yellow undertone. Shimma Shimma from Makeup Geek is gorgeous but can be a little too shimmery for a very simple, day-time kind of look.

Listen Up1 of 11
By Shannan Rouss
Over the past year, I've listened to more books than I've read. The reason? A long commute—one involving freeways and back ways, wrong turns and traffic jams. The drive to work is just 13 miles, though it can easily take an hour. (This is Los Angeles, after all.) But to the researcher who says that long commutes can lead to obesity, stress, even divorce, I say you haven't discovered audiobooks. Sit back, relax and enjoy the ride with these ten great reads, er, listens.
Anansi Boys2 of 11
Give this book ten minutes—it may take about that long to get a handle on its playful, yet mythical tone—and then you'll be hooked. The narrator, British actor Lenny Henry, moves easily among the voices of the protagonist, the diffident Fat Charlie; his conniving boss, Mr. Grahame Coats; the old Caribbean-born women of his childhood, and others. The book follows Fat Charlie as he reunites with his brother, the smooth-talking Spider, and discovers things about his family—and the magical world around him—that he never knew.
READ MORE: Anansi Boys by Neil Gaiman
Geek Love3 of 11
Don't be misled by the title: This is not a book about two techies finding love. It's about a family of circus performers, as told by Oly, an albino dwarf and the second youngest child of Al and "Crystal" Lil. Unlike her beautiful, piano-playing Siamese twin sisters or her charismatic "Aqua Boy" brother (with flippers for arms and legs), Oly has no act; instead she sells tickets and looks after the others. The book is dark, twisted and tragic in parts, but Oly's love for her family and the realness of these strange characters give the book its heart.
READ MORE: Geek Love by Katherine Dunne
The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat4 of 11
In this book of "clinical tales," Oliver Sacks shares the very personal stories of his patients: people who have lost the ability to recognize loved ones, who can no longer sense their own bodies, whose memories fade in seconds. While Dr. Sacks is a neurologist, the most profound questions he asks aren't about science; they're about identity, connection and what it means to be human.
READ MORE: The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat by Oliver Sacks
Me Before You5 of 11
This book is warm, funny and heartbreaking, a bona fide tearjerker. Louisa Clark is a small-town waitress outside of London who finds herself working as a caretaker for Will, a paraplegic former playboy. Yes, a kind of romance ensues, but its progress is slow and not what you'd expect. Both Louisa and Will have secrets from one another, and with every step forward, they manage to take another two steps back. You'll keep listening, hoping they finally get their happily ever after ending.
READ MORE: Me Before You by Jojo Moyes
The Stand6 of 11
Clocking in at just under 48 hours, this Stephen King thriller is by far the longest on the list. When you finish it, you'll realize that you've spent the equivalent of two full days driving, probably over the span of a few weeks. That's a lot of time, but this book makes for good company. It begins with a super-flu that wipes out roughly 98 percent of the population. The survivors converge and attempt to rebuild society, but first they must contend with the Dark Man, who haunts their dreams.
READ MORE: The Stand by Stephen King
The Emperor of All Maladies7 of 11
This is the sort of book you might feel obligated to read: because it won the Pulitzer, because it's been touted by critics and fans, because it may just neutralize all the mind-numbing reality TV you've watched. But a biography of cancer? Daunting—which is why it's an ideal book to listen to. The personal stories—of patients and researchers—are more compelling than any reality show.
READ MORE: The Emperor of All Maladies by Siddhartha Mukherjee
Dry8 of 11
This memoir could just as easily be titled Wry, as Augusten Burroughs muddles his way through rehab and sobriety, relying half-heartedly on A.A. meetings of questionable value and "one day at a time" wisdom. The audiobook is read by the author himself, who amiably recounts his own story—even in its most despairing moments—with wit, candor and a little bit of Southern charm.
READ MORE: Dry by Augusten Burroughs
Cloud Atlas9 of 11
The movie may have been meh, but the book is an imaginative, cerebral adventure that spans continents and generations, from the 19th century to a primitive post-apocalyptic world. The beginning may read like a traditional travel narrative, but stick with it. And when you get to that post-apocalyptic world, the pidgin English invented by author David Mitchell will continue to resound musically in your ears.
READ MORE: Cloud Atlas by David Mitchell
State of Wonder10 of 11
What if a woman could bear children well into her 40s, 50s, even 60s and beyond? What if the secret to doing so were located deep within the jungles of the Amazon? That's the premise of this book, a literary adventure read by actress Hope Davis. It's the kind of story that will seem at once far-fetched and romantic, yet somehow entirely plausible.
READ MORE: State of Wonder by Anne Patchett
Lolita11 of 11
The commute is a fine time to catch up on books you either read in school and since forgot or read the Cliff-Notes version of and since feel guilty. This audio version of Nabokov's literary classic features Jeremy Irons, whose voice easily captures the intellect, charm and desperation of Humbert Humbert.

Lest We Forget: Influenza Can Be Devastating
One of our readers suggested that I review the book The Great Influenza: The Epic Story of the Deadliest Plague in History, by John M. Barry. It's not a new book (it was published in 2004) but it is very pertinent to several of the issues that we have been discussing on this blog, especially in regards to the current anti-vaccine movement. It's well worth reading for its historical insights, for its illumination of the scientific method, and for its accurate reporting of what science has learned about influenza.
In the great flu epidemic of 1918, influenza killed as many people in 24 weeks as AIDS has killed in 24 years. It's hard to even imagine what that must have been like, but this book helps us imagine it. It tells horror stories: children found alone and starving beside the corpses of their parents in homes where all the adults had died, decomposing bodies piling up because there was no one left who was healthy enough to bury them. Sometimes the disease developed with stunning rapidity: during one 3 mile streetcar trip, the conductor, 3 passengers, and the driver died. In another incident, apparently healthy soldiers were being transferred to a new post by train; during the trip, men started coughing, bleeding, and collapsing; and by the time it arrived at its destination, 25% of the soldiers were so sick they had to be taken directly from train to hospital. 2/3 of them were eventually hospitalized in all, and 10% of them died. The mind boggles. (more…)

Counseling Services provides confidential counseling free of charge to assist undergraduate students with personal, developmental, or psychological concerns related to their academic progress and/or personal growth. Counseling is short-term, solution-focused with limited sessions. For chronic mental health issues or those that may require more extensive counseling, Counseling Services provides consultation and referral to community resources.
Services are available Monday through Friday by appointment. For more information about Counseling Services or to make an appointment, please call Counseling Services' staff at 910-814-5709/5708.
Undergraduate students (who are enrolled currently for full-time hours) are eligible for services. Graduate and professional students are not eligible for services in our office, but are served by Dr. Dan Marlowe, Director of Behavioral Health for the School of Osteopathic Medicine. Graduate and professional students interested in scheduling an appointment with Dr. Marlowe should contact him directly via email at [email protected]
NEW SERVICE! Counseling Services is pleased to announce we now provide substance abuse assessment and counseling for undergraduate students. These services are offered on Wednesdays and Thursdays.
Location & Hours: Counseling Services is located in the Lanier House on Leslie Campbell Avenue (beside Memorial Baptist Church and across the street from Bob Barker Hall Apartments/Suites). Our hours of operation are from 9:00 a.m. - 4:30 p.m. Monday-Thursday, and 9:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m. Friday. Our office closes for lunch, typically from 12:00 - 1:15 p.m.
Generally, people seek counseling because they are struggling with issues that affect the way they feel or inhibit their ability to go about their daily lives or meet their goals. These issues can interfere with relationships, affect one's ability to concentrate on school or work, impact one's energy level, appetite, and sleep, and/or create feelings of depression, anxiety, and stress. Specifically, people come to Counseling Services for a variety of reasons including:
Confidentiality is a priority. Our goal is to provide a safe environment in which to discuss personal issues. If you seek counseling, you have a right to privacy. This means that neither the fact that you have received counseling nor the specific issues discussed will be disclosed to anyone without your written permission. Rare exceptions may occur in regards to safety issues or court orders. A counseling record is kept for the Counselor's use only and is filed in a secure location.
The initial session provides a time for you to get acquainted with your counselor and discuss the reason you are seeking counseling. Information about your background will be gathered, and you will be given information about your rights as a client and about confidentiality. Sometimes an initial session is all that is required. Some issues are easily addressed, and in other cases, a referral to someone else who specializes in a particular area is appropriate. If you and the counselor decide to continue to work together, a plan will be developed and the goals of counseling will be defined. A follow-up appointment will be arranged at the close of the session.
Counseling Services provides crisis intervention during our hours of operation [Monday–Thursday (9:00 a.m. - 4:30 p.m.), and Friday (9:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m.)]. If you are experiencing a crisis, call Counseling Services at 910-814-5709 or come to our office and MAKE IT CLEAR THAT YOU ARE IN CRISIS. Every effort will be made to respond as soon as possible.
If you are experiencing suicidal thoughts/actions or have a plan to harm yourself, from campus dial x1911 for Campus Safety immediately or from elsewhere, dial 911 or present to the nearest hospital immediately for assistance. If you are experiencing another type of psychological emergency (emotional crisis) after our office hours, please contact Campus Safety (x1911), Residence Life Staff, and/or contact a crisis line. If you reside off of campus, please call 911 for emergency situations.

Where can I get the best price for the medela pump in style??
Where can I get the best price for the medela pump in style??
I don't know where you live, but I bought mine at Babies R Us for $250. HTH
I was going to say babies are us might send you a coupon if you ask for one..I think the coupon they sent me was for $20 off. and I am not even pg.. lol..
on the web site you can get a free umbrella stroller with anything over $100..
Last edited by @llli*andrea.wolford; May 25th, 2006 at 09:20 AM.
Here is an online source:
$180 plus shipping
A local lactation consultant probably sells it for less than Babies R Us.
Another option is the Ameda Purely Yours pump, which is usually a little less money. I have used both the PIS and the PY and I get the same results.
I have seen used pumps in Kid to Kid. I don't know if you have one there or if you're willing to use a used pump. They range from 20 to 50 dollars. I guess if you boil it, it would be ok. My husband bought me a new First Years pump at wal mart for 60 dollars and I think it works just as well as a Medela and it's easier to clean.

Hideki Matsuyama fired a 5-under-par 34-33=67 during the second round of the Hero World Challenge, posting a halftime score of 12-under 132 to grab a share of the 36-hole lead with Dustin Johnson.
Tiger Woods looked to be in full form today, styling a bogey-free, 7-under-par 33-32=65 during round two of the Hero World Challenge, raising seven spots up to T10 on the live leaderboard with play still in progress.
With an eagle-3 at Leopard Creek's 18th hole, local man Brandon Stone completed a 6-under-par 33-33=66 in round two of the Alfred Dunhill Championship and jumped into a one-shot lead after 36 holes.

Andrew Dodt fired a superb 5-under-par 33-34=67 to take a two shot advantage into the weekend at the Australian PGA Championship; his 12-under 132 total leads Ashley Hall with Ryan Fox and Adam Scott four back after 36 holes.
J.B. Holmes set the pace with an 8-under-par 33-31=64 during the first round of the Hero World Challenge, ending the day with a one-shot cushion over the field.
Paul Dunne had a double bogey on his card but still managed to splash enough red to shoot a 6-under-par 33-33=66 and move into a tie for the first-round lead at the Alfred Dunhill Championship alongside four-time winner Charl Schwartzel.
Four-time winner Charl Schwartzel continued his love affair with the Alfred Dunhill Championship by posting a 6-under-par 34-32=66 in Thursday's opening round, good enough for a share of the clubhouse lead with Ireland's Paul Dunne.
On the first very day of the new 2017 European Tour season, Jarrod Lyle registered an ace after sinking his tee shot on the fifth hole in round one of the Australian PGA Championship.

'Hottest Woman Of The 21st Century' Beyonce Nearly Bares All For Racy GQ Photoshoot
Beyonce shows off her sexy curves in the February 2013 issue of GQ Magazine, which calls her the "Hottest Woman of the 21st Century".
The singer shows off her post-baby body in a very risque shoot for the magazine, which comes a year after giving birth to her first child with husband Jay-Z, Blue Ivy.
Bey tops the list of the magazine's pics for its "100 Sexiest Women Of The 21st Century", which also includes voluptuous and curvy supermodel Kate Upton, actress and perennial hottie (and newest member of the MILF club) Megan Fox, sexy and versatile actress Mila Kunis, and "all your favorite Jessicas".
The cover image leaked online Wednesday and prompted GQ to release the "the real version of the cover everyone is talking about".
Beyonce is pictured in a football jersey and holding a football helmet and a football in a few of the shots; taken by famed celeb photographer Terry Richardson; obviously gearing up for her headlining performance at this year's Super Bowl.
"One of the reasons I connect to the Super Bowl is that I approach my shows like an athlete," she tells GQ. "You know how they sit down and watch whoever they're going to play and study themselves? That's how I treat this.
"I watch my performances, and I wish I could just enjoy them, but I see the light that was late. I see, 'Oh God, that hair did not work.' Or 'I should never do that again.' I try to perfect myself. I want to grow, and I'm always eager for new information."
The singer also discusses her work ethic, saying that her childhood goal was to be able to do whatever she wants by the time she turned 30; and now that she's reached that goal she feels "fortunate to be in that position."
Beyonce also says that she's "worked harder than probably anyone" she knows, and because of that she's become very powerful.
"I now know that, yes, I am powerful. I'm more powerful than my mind can even digest and understand," she says.
Check out Beyonce's full interview and more pics at GQ.com and pick up a copy of the February issue, on newsstands everywhere January 22nd.

A 68-year-old grandmother in Tennessee was arrested after authorities said she called 911 for "police assistance in getting a beer."
Rosie Pate told Memphis TV station WREG the allegations just aren't true.
"I have lived to be 68 years old and I never dialed no police to bring me beer," she said.
According to the criminal complaint obtained by The Smoking Gun, Pate got into an argument with her granddaughter and slapped her because she wouldn't get Pate a beer.
That's when Pate called 911.
She claims she told police about the argument, but didn't ask them for alcohol.
Authorities beg to differ.
Pate has been charged with domestic assault and making a non-emergency 911 call.

Equal attention to Learning Supports is essential so that:
- Every student will demonstrate academic achievement and be prepared for success after high school;
- Every student will be supported by highly prepared and effective teachers and school leaders; and
- Every school will offer a safe and healthy learning environment for all students.
Engagement and Re-engagement
Research has demonstrated that student engagement is correlated with higher achievement (e.g., standardized tests, grades) (Connell et al., 1995, Skinner et al., 1990, Alexander, et al., 1997). Engagement encompasses three areas, behavioral, emotional, and cognitive.
Behavioral engagement consists of:
- participation in social or extracurricular school activities;
- involvement in learning and academic tasks which includes behaviors such as staying on task, putting forth effort, completing assignments, and contributing to class discussions;
- and demonstrating positive conduct (e.g., following rules, adhering to class norms, attending class).
Emotional engagement often refers to:
- emotional reactions to school and people in the school, including interests, boredom, happiness, sadness, and anxiety; and
- value placed on the work, including enjoyment of the activity, importance of doing well on the task, and any negative aspects of engaging in the task.
Cognitive engagement involves:
- the use of metacognitive strategies to plan, monitor, and evaluate one's cognition when accomplishing tasks;
- the ability to manage and control efforts on tasks (e.g., staying on task when distractions are present, persisting through challenging work, and being flexible); and
- psychological investment in learning (i.e., a desire to go beyond the requirements in order to understand and master the knowledge, skill or craft, a preference for challenge).
Antecedents of Engagement
- voluntary choice
- clear and consistent goals
- small size
- student participation in school policy and management
- opportunities for staff and students to be involved in cooperative endeavors
- academic work that allows for the development of products
- teacher support
- peer acceptance
- clear academic and social behavioral expectations
- autonomy-supportive environments
- authentic and challenging tasks
Source–School Engagement: Potential of the Concept, State of the Evidence, 2004
It is imperative to identify disengaged students and intervene as soon as possible. Some recommendations include:
- explore why the student has become disengaged (talk to student)
- formulate a personalized plan that promotes feelings of competence, autonomy, and relatedness
- provide opportunities for meaningful application
- monitor student's progress and alter personalized plan accordingly

A high school girls basketball coach has resigned, charged with sexual exploitation by a school employee.
Authorities say 30-year-old Melissa Eshelman, of Bondurant, was arrested Thursday and released later in the day.
Police County sheriff's Sgt. Jana Rooker says Eshelman resigned from Bondurant-Farrar High School last week.
Rooker says school officials reported the situation to the sheriff's office last week. School officials and Rooker declined to specify what incidents or behavior led to the accusations against Eshelman.
A phone listed for Eshelman was answered by a woman who said the number was that of a company and that no one by the name of Eshelman was there. Online court records don't list the name of Eshelman's attorney.

It was a murder trial that shocked the La Crosse community.
Could a son be guilty of gunning down his own parents for money?
Last summer the jury said yes, convicting West Salem man Eric Koula of two counts of first-degree intentional homicide.
Now, Koula is speaking in his first sit-down interview on CBS' "48 Hours Mystery."
The prosecution painted Koula as a man driven by his financial struggles to murder his parents, Dennis and Merna Koula.
Throughout the entire process, Koula has maintained his innocence -- a side of the story he fights to explain in a one-hour CBS "48 Hours Mystery" Saturday.
The verdict was read on June 27, 2012.
"I just couldn't believe it. I don't know how they arrived at that. You know, hear, 'Guilty, guilty, guilty,' over and over and over from each of them," Koula said on "48 Hours Mystery."
Koula was convicted of killing his parents in their Barre Mills home in 2010.
Koula's sister, Cindy Cowell, said it's a reality that's hard to come to grips with.
"My heart just stopped for a second there. It's like, 'Wow!' Eight million thoughts through your head. 'Mom and Dad are dead. Their killer's going to prison; was found guilty. Wait a second -- that killer's my brother,'" said Cowell.
"48 Hours Mystery" traces the evidence and testimony that led the jury to convict Koula and asks Koula and his wife directly about a note he planted in his own mailbox to throw off the investigators.
"Four days after the Koula's bodies' were discovered, Eric Koula finds a note in his mailbox," said John Christophersen with "48 Hours."
"He opened it up. He saw the letters, and he was very upset," said Koula's wife, Christine Koula.
"What did the letter say?" asked Peter Van Sant, with "48 Hours."
"'Fixed you,'" said Christine Koula.
"I wrote the note, and I put it in my mailbox. I just wanted them to leave me and my family alone and get who killed my mom and dad. I know what I did was really stupid, and I'm sorry I did it," Koula said on the stand during the trial.
To add to the prosecution's case, Koula also cashed a check from his father on which he forged his father's signature.
"Isn't it true you only came forward with the admission that you had signed that check after a handwriting expert had come to that conclusion that it wasn't your father's original signature, and that that handwriting expert, in fact, claimed that it had been written in a very slow, hesitating way, which wouldn't be the case if you had signed your father's name dozens and dozens of times as you claim?" asked Van Sant.
"I signed his signature. I don't believe I wrote it hesitantly and meticulously like she described. I've signed it lots of times. You know, I wrote it on our table, and that's not a smooth surface," said Koula.
It was cashed the day after their bodies were found
"But you hid an important fact from this investigation, and you know that looks terrible?" said Van Sant.
"Yeah, it does look terrible." said Koula.
But despite the lies and evidence piled up against him, Koula has refused to back down.

- 'I feel myself to be a world citizen': negotiating Turkish and Alevi identity in Melbourne
- Author(s)
- Hopkins, Liza
- Abstract
- The complexity and heterogeneity of modern multicultural societies can both highlight and obscure the diversity which exists within identity groups. Whilst the majority of the Turkish community in Melbourne are Sunni Muslim, significant groups of ethnically, religiously and linguistically different communities also exist. Recent research with women who participate in activities at the Alevi community centre in Melbourne has brought to light many of the issues which are faced by individuals who are doubly excluded from the mainstream of Australian life and culture as migrants and from the mainstream of Turkish diasporic life through a non-Sunni Islamic religious orientation. For some, but not all of these women there is also an added dimension of difference through embracing their Kurdish ethnicity and linguistic background. Both first and second generation Alevi women use a range of strategies to locate themselves within what one respondent called the 'rose garden' of Australia since the advent of immigrant diversity.

Headlines (Campus Updates)
WLUAA donations support Laurier Brantfords Alumni Hall
Communications, Public Affairs & Marketing
Nov 11/10
Laurier Brantford and the Wilfrid Laurier University Alumni Association (WLUAA) added to the celebratory mood on campus when they unveiled Alumni Hall recently.
Alumni Hall, a lecture hall in the new SC Johnson Building at Laurier's Brantford campus, was named in recognition of a $65,000 gift from WLUAA and the estate of Walter Metzger. The Alumni Association will use a large display board outside the classroom to advertise upcoming events and other items of interest to current students and alumni.
The Alumni Association saw this as a unique opportunity to support the growth and development of the Brantford campus, and establish a stronger connection with the students and future alumni, said Tom Berczi, president of WLUAA. We are very pleased to support such a worthwhile project, and look forward to continuing to support worthwhile projects at Laurier Brantford.
Other remarks celebrating the gifts came from Max Blouw, president of Wilfrid Laurier University; Lesley Cooper, acting principal/vice-president of Laurier Brantford; Rob Donelson, vice-president: Development and Alumni Relations; Chief Bill Montour of Six Nations; Phil McColeman, MP for Brant; Dave Levac, MPP for Brant; and Mike Hancock, mayor of the City of Brantford.
The SC Johnson Building was made possible through the support of SC Johnson in celebration of its 90th anniversary and through leadership gifts from Raymond Industrial and community supporters.
The new building houses growth programs at Laurier Brantford, including a proposed business school.
The facility is also home to Laurier Brantfords innovative leadership program and its integrated learning centre, which brings together community service-learning, cooperative education and other forms of work-integrated learning.

Where is this Forest?
Located in north-central Wyoming, the Bighorn Mountains are a sister range of the Rocky Mountains. Conveniently located halfway between Mt. Rushmore and Yellowstone National Park, the Bighorns are a great vacation destination in themselves. No region in Wyoming is provided with a more diverse landscape - from lush grasslands to alpine meadows, from crystal-clear lakes to glacially-carved valleys, from rolling hills to sheer mountain walls.
Visit the Bighorn National Forest and enjoy the multiple reservoirs, 30 campgrounds, four group campgrounds, three scenic byways, 10 picnic areas, eight lodges, miles and miles of streams, 189,000 acres of wilderness, 1,200 miles of trails, and much more that provide a special recreation experience.
We hope this website provides you with inside information on the Bighorn Mountains - from the experiences they have to offer to the way we manage their many resources. Most of all, we hope it invites you to come see their spectacular beauty for yourselves.
The Bighorn National Forest has finalized a Recreation Site Analysis and Five-Year Program of Work for management of the Forest's seventy-one developed recreation sites. This is an advisory document for managing the campgrounds, picnic grounds, trailheads, interpretive areas, and other sites with facilities that support recreation use on the national forest.
Regulations are in effect in the West Tensleep Corridor. The regulations affect dispersed camping in the Corridor, inside and outside the Cloud Peak Wilderness boundary.

My dd is 5 months old. I pumped when she was younger and produced an adequate supply. Now, I'm trying to pump again and make bottles occasionally and sometimes I only get a little more than an ounce and that might be in the middle of the night. I try in the morning as well and get a little below 2 ounces or ounce and half. Also, one breast definately doesn't produce as much and she stops eating soon, I always seem to switch her to the other side and now I don't think I have enough in my left during several times of the day.
What is the best time to pump? In between two feedings? Like an hour after a feeding? Or right after a feeding? Can I build up supply again at the pump at 5 months? Sometimes, I get a mark on my aerola(sp?) from the nipple shield and wonder if this is contributing to the problem. I need help because I'd like to get out some and leave a bottle with a sitter. Would you say 4 ounces is enough for a 5 month old.
Thanks for your help!!!

SD Tips: Find the Best Finance Deals
Whether you're in the market for a new credit card or you're just looking to save some money on gift cards, we've collected all the best finance deals and specials out there. Keep this page bookmarked to stay updated and save some cash.
Choosing a credit card is going to be largely dependent on what sort of rewards you want and how good your credit is. Frequent travelers will probably benefit from a card with airline mileage rewards, while cash back cards and cards with reward points that can be redeemed for gift cards are great for many people, but only if you shop at the right places. If you think you'll be carrying a balance, you also want to make sure your card has a low interest rate. Luckily, there's no one specific time that's better for credit card applications, so once you find a card that fits your lifestyle, just keep an eye out here for a good sign-on bonus (like extra rewards points or a higher cash back percentage on your initial purchases), and go ahead and apply.
Buying discounted gift cards is basically like getting free money. But you know what's better than discounted gift cards? Free gift cards, that's what. Some retailers frequently offer gift cards when you buy a certain number of items or spend over a certain amount. Check out eBay or sites like CardCash for discounted gift cards. Target is well known for handing out gift cards with certain purchases, especially during the holiday shopping season, so that's a great option if you're a big Target fan. If you don't score a discounted gift card during the holidays, January is actually one of the best times to find them, since there's not as much demand.
