This is one of life's great dilemmas. No matter what answers you put in the back of the book, someone will find a way to misuse and abuse them. The author MUST put something, but it must be done with the greatest of fear.
One does not want to create dependence.
One cannot guarantee that all are exactly correct.
It remains for the student to gain a little fortitude and discern for himself when an answer is incorrect.
What do you know about "consistent" systems?
If the right answer is 2a + b - c = 0, then pick some values and PROVE it. I tried a = b = 1 and c = 3. Guess what? No solution. The answer cannot be correct unless the question is written incorrectly.
Solve the first for a variable: y = a + z - 2x
Substitute into the other two:
2a - 2x + 2z = b
4a - 3x + 3x = c
Solve the first for a variable: x = a + z - (b/2)
Substitute into the other:
2a + 3b - 2c = 0
There is a relationship. I tried a = b = 1 and c = 5/2.
Why worry about it when you can PROVE it!

Papayas were scattered along the street in Kaneohe. A morning stop just to buy papayas ended in death.
An 82-year-old man parked his car on Kaneohe Bay Drive and crossed the street to go buy the fruit.
Neighbors said almost every Saturday a house on the street sells papayas, it's a popular stand in the neighborhood.
Police say after the man bought his papayas he started to cross back to the other side of the street and that's when he was struck by the car.
The man was not in the cross walk when he was hit by a silver Toyota. The pedestrian was taken to the hospital where he later died. Police shut down part of Kaneohe Bay Drive as they investigated the accident.
"It could also be weather related as its been raining on and off, so visibility may have been a factor," said Lieutenant Robert Towne.
The driver was a 39-year-old male from Kailua. Two other people were in the car with him.
"Occupants of the vehicle that struck him were uninjured," said Lt. Towne.
Police said drivers and pedestrians need to pay attention to their surroundings.
"It all comes down to visibility and looking for each other, so both pedestrian and the drivers part, we need to look for each other and be a little bit more careful," said Lt. Towne.
This is the second pedestrian death in Oahu in 2013 compared to one the same time last year.

Celebrity wigs designed for babies up to nine months old and are set to hit the market, to the outrage of children's charities.
There's a Bob Marley style dreadlock wig, a Samuel L Jackson afro as seen in movie Pulp Fiction and a Donald Trump comb-over - perhaps for that mature look.
For the girls, there's flowing pink locks based on singer Lil' Kim.
But Michelle Elliott of Kidscape said as well as unnecessary, the wigs could be dangerous.
"This is ridiculous. Any parent who buys one of these wigs for their child needs their head examined."
Wigs are incredibly uncomfortable for a start. Babies are wonderful but dirty little things and the last thing they need is a wig."
The wigs are manufactured by California-based firm BabyToupee and cost $24.99.
The firm's website says its aim is to "show that while parenting can be a great responsibility, it can also be a source of endless amusement."
Founder Graham Farrar said: "Having a baby doesn't mean you have to stop having fun or do everything by the book. We don' take ourselves or our products too seriously."

Super Bowl XLVII is full of well-known players, but chances are good an underrated star will make the biggest difference to seal the victory for his team.
Obviously, guys like Ray Lewis, Colin Kaepernick, Joe Flacco and Patrick Willis will have a huge impact on the outcome of the game. But these guys wouldn't be nearly as effective without some big help from their teammates.
With this in mind, let's take a look at a handful of underrated stars who will shine under the bright lights and extreme pressure of the biggest game of the year.

Milk Chocolate Cake with Caramel Icing
On Labor Day some friends of our came over for dinner and I made a Milk Chocolate Cake with Caramel Icing for dessert. Growing up this icing was paired with a chocolate cake on my father's birthday, only then we called it German Chocolate. I'm not quite sure why it was called that, given German Chocolate cakes normally have coconut added into the mix and the icing is a bit different, but it was something we did every year and my mom still does for my dad now most years.
When I moved out into the world I started making this cake more often than just once a year. No matter who I've served it to, it's normally a hit. I've adapted it slightly as time has passed and I no longer use a cake mix, but make a cake from scratch now too. This definitely is a crowd pleaser. It's sweet, rich and oh so sinful, but sometimes you just need a little sin on a plate!
What You'll Need for the Cake:
1 - 11.5 ounce bag of milk chocolate chips
1 stick of butter
3 cups of unbleached all purpose flour
1 teaspoon of sea salt
1 tablespoon of baking powder
1 cup of organic cane sugar
3 eggs
1 tablespoon of vanilla
1 3/4 cup of buttermilk
Preheat oven to 350 F.
In a glass bowl in the microwave melt chocolate and butter together until smooth. (Note: My microwave has a chocolate melting setting. If yours does not, you can use a double boiler or you can melt the chocolate on medium power in your microwave at 30 second intervals until melted and smooth.) Set aside to cool slightly.
In a large glass bowl stir together flour, sea salt, baking powder and sugar until well mixed. (Note: If you want to go to the trouble of sifting this you can, but I have a strict don't sift unless you just have to rule and for a cake you really don't have to! ;oP) Once the dry mixture is mixed add eggs, vanilla, buttermilk and melted chocolate and stir until completely incorporated.
Now is the fun part...What shape cake do you want to make? You can make a 13 X 9 inch sheet cake, you can make a round cake, you can make a square cake or you can even make cupcakes! I chose to make a square cake and used 2 - 8 inch square pans.
Spray your pan(s) generously with non-stick spray and pour the batter evenly into your pan(s). If you are using two pans then make sure the batter is spread evenly between the two pans...If you are making cupcakes fill each hole no more than 2/3 of the way full. Place your pan(s) into the oven and bake for 35-45 minutes until cake sticks done and remove from oven. (Note: Cupcakes would take rougly 20-30 minutes.)
Let cakes cool in the pan(s) for roughly 10 minutes and then turn them out onto a wire rack to continue cooling. Cool completely and then ice or frost.
Notes: You can use any kind of chocolate that you like. I had milk chocolate on hand, but semi or dark will work fine too.
What You'll Need for the Caramel Icing:
2 1/2 sticks of butter
1 1/2 cups of natural brown sugar
1 cup of half and half or heavy cream
4 1/2 cups of powdered sugar, sifted (Note: If your powdered sugar isn't lumpy then you can skip this step...As I mentioned above I'm about the not sifting unless you just have to! ;oP)
1 tablespoon of vanilla (optional)
Note: This mixture has to be cooled before you make the icing so you can make it well before you bake the cake or while you're baking the cake. But it must be completely cooled before the icing is made.)
In a medium sized pot melt butter and sugar with half and half or heavy cream until completely melted. Bring to a boil and boil for 2 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla if desired. Set aside and let cool completely to room temperature.
Once mixture is cooled, add to the bowl of a mixer or using a hand mixer, add powdered sugar and beat until thick and spreadable. Use icing to ice the cooled Milk Chocolate Cake.
Notes: Given the base of this icing is butter on a hot day it can not want to cooperate. Store in the fridge if you have the room to keep it from running. If you can't get it to set up then add more powdered sugar 1/4 of a cup at a time until it gets thick.

Milk chocolate was all I had on hand, so I went with it! Jamison only likes MC. Sadly though this cake was off the menu for him though with the gluten. I made him a small gluten free chocolate cake for him to enjoy.
Thanks Arundathi...Hope you enjoy it if you do try it!
Posted by: Dianne at September 10, 2008 12:40 PM
While I'm not a fan of milk chocolate, I can see that cake in my future.
I suppose I can sub semi sweet chocolate -
And you know, I've never had caramel frosting before.

Yum Yum Yum Yum Yum. I am so intrigued by the texture of your cake and frosting. Looks so good!
Posted by: Karen at September 10, 2008 11:39 PM
Megan, I've made many variations of this cake over the years. In fact I like a good dark chocolate. Hope you enjoy it if you do try it!
Frank, hopefully your suggestion worked! ;o) I'm loving your blog by the way.

By ALISSA SCOTT
TOWN OF AMSTERDAM -- With the emotions of burying her mother in St. Casimir's Cemetery in May still fresh in her mind, Stephanie Schetner visited her grave Monday finding the "sacrilegious" destruction of the family's burial plot.
"Monday was a very teary experience for my sister and I," Schetner said. "I had to come home and start processing everything."
Tractor-trailers making deliveries to the Amsterdam Industrial Park have been rerouted through St. Casimir's Cemetery for at least the past five years, according to Matthew Constantine, the cemetery's superintendent of buildings and grounds. He said signs discouraging trucks from entering the area have been overlooked or neglected and the trucks often leave a trail of destruction on their way out.
Constantine was able to speak with a truck driver who got stuck in the cemetery and learned that a GPS error led him there.
One of the stones damaged marked six of Schetner's family members' graves -- her parents, two grandparents, her brother and her uncle -- but several other stones, a cement pillar and a large tree, were also damaged. In the past five years, Constantine said, at least 20 stones have seen the same fate.
"My father was willing to give his life for his country," Schetner said. "And [the responsible party] can't face what? The fact that he made a mistake and he had poor judgment and then made it worse by what he did?"
Constantine contacted the Montgomery County Sheriff's Office Monday and a deputy investigated the scene and took pictures.
Investigator Theresa Pingitore said the tire tracks and damage are consistent with an 18-wheeler, but there is no additional evidence and they didn't receive any information after speaking with business representatives in the park.
Pingitore said all the sheriff's office can do is increase patrols in the area. The investigation is not ongoing.
She also said there is a chance that the truck drivers may not have noticed the damage, because the vehicles are so large.
Town Supervisor Thomas DiMezza said he tried to help the situation by closing off Park Road, a stretch of pavement leading into the cemetery, to traffic a couple of years ago. Now, he said, he's going to post "No outlet" signs at the start of Cemetery Road.
He said he doesn't understand why trucks are driving through to begin with.
"My heart goes out to the family; it's a terrible situation," DiMezza said. "Unfortunately, this person didn't have the common sense to report it. People don't have the respect they used to."
DiMezza said the town will do whatever it can to help out, but said it is not the town's responsibility to fund repairs, as Schetner believes.
"I don't see how liability lies with the town," DiMezza said. "I don't see how a truck driving down the wrong road is our fault. We'll try to prevent it, but the liability isn't going to fall back on the town."
Schetner said she believes that "No outlet" signs aren't going to help. As of now, there are signs indicating no turnaround permitted, but they have not worked.
She said the sign needs to be blatantly understandable -- No trucks allowed.
"No outlet?" Schetner asked. "Think about it. What does it mean? It means nothing. It needs to be as specific and clear as possible."
Schetner said her other major concern is that the businesses employing the drivers cannot continue to "cover for them."
Several businesses in the park were contacted Monday, but none were familiar with the situation nor took responsibility. The sheriff's department had the same luck.
Schetner doesn't think there is going to be a quick resolution, but she's going to keep at it. She is crafting a letter to the area businesses to ask them to speak with their truck drivers and "be good neighbors."
"They picked the wrong burial plot to run over," Schetner said. "[My husband and I] are too informed and too engaged to let this one go."

Did you get into the Call of Duty 4 beta? Did you get in by having a buddy exploit a glitch that allowed people who did not receive keys from Infinity Ward to download the beta?
If so, BANNED!!! You are now banned
forever for a day. Wait, that's not so bad, but let this be a lesson to you! Don't glitch the system.
Hit the cut for Microsoft's statement on the matter and some beta gameplay that should hold you over while you take a 24 "break" from Live.
Microsoft had this to say:
"The current POR is to issue a 24-hour console lockout that will prevent these 23k users from using their consoles to sign in to LIVE. These users will also receive a message in the dash with an explanation as to why their console has been locked out for 24 hours for violating the LIVE TOU [Terms of Use] and a warning that more severe actions may be taken if they attempt a similar action in the future (console could be banned permanently, etc.)."
Now enjoy some footage of the beta you aren't playing.

By Anthony Marshall - Newcastle United Managing Editor
At St. James' Park
Newcastle United 1 (Cisse 90)
Anzhi Makhachkala 0
(Newcastle United win 1-0 on aggregate)
Papiss Cisse headed an injury-time winner to put Newcastle United into the Europa League quarter-finals, with a 1-0 victory over ten-man Anzhi Makhachkala on Thursday night.
The Senegalese forward nodded home Sylvain Marveaux's cross with the last touch of the game at St. James' Park, as the Magpies navigated their way through a tricky two-legged Europa League Round of 16 tie.
United fully deserved the victory, having dominated for large parts of the contest, and could have taken the lead through Steven Taylor, Marveaux and Cheick Tiote.
But Anzhi had their moments too, with Samuel Eto'o threatening and Mbark Boussoufa crashing a free-kick against the woodwork.
The Russians' cause wasn't helped when midfielder Mehdi Carcela-Gonzalez received his marching orders early in the second half for a second booking, and Cisse made them pay with his late, late header.
The visitors could have taken a shock lead inside the opening three minutes.
Andrei Eschenko galloped forward from his right-back berth and was allowed time and space to reach the final third before slipping a ball into the path of Eto'o, who drove across the face of goal and narrowly wide.
But United controlled the early stages, with Marveaux particularly prominent. And it was the midfield schemer who had their first shot in anger in the 11th minute.
Exchanging passes with Papiss Cisse, the Frenchman's quick feet saw him ease past Yuri Zhirkov before unleashing an immediate strike which wasn't too far away at the near post.
Taylor twice denied Lassana Diarra with vital last-ditch blocks - firstly after the former Arsenal, Chelsea and Portsmouth man had latched onto a loose ball inside the box, and then when he robbed Cheick Tiote and let fly from 18 yards.
The Magpies were dealt a blow on 37 minutes when captain Yohan Cabaye limped off, having earlier pulled up holding his groin, and their pain was almost doubled immediately.
Mapou Yanga-Mbiwa knocked a pass straight into the feet of Carcela-Gonzalez, who played a one-two with Eto'o before rippling the side-netting from a tight angle.
For all his heroics at one end, Taylor came close to breaking the deadlock on the stroke of half-time, rising highest at the far post to meet Marveaux's floated free-kick but powereing his header over the top.
United roared out of the traps after the interval, with Moussa Sissoko nodding Davide Santon's cross off-target within seconds of the restart.
On 52 minutes it was that man Taylor, again in the thick of the action, when he was presented with the best opportunity of the night.
Another inch-perfect Marveaux free-kick was knocked down into the centre-back's path by Sissoko, but Taylor could only stab straight goalkeeper Vladimir Gabulov from a close range.
With the hosts on the front foot, Anzhi's task got even tougher ten minutes into the second half.
Already booked for a tug on Tiote's shirt just seven minutes previous, Carcela-Gonzalez clattered into Massadio Haidara out on the left touchline, leaving German referee Deniz Aytekin little option but to produce a second yellow card for the winger.
With the Magpies looking to stretch the ten men of Anzhi, 18-year-old Adam Campbell was introduced from the substitutes' bench, for only his third first-team appearance.
The pacy Academy forward immediately took up a role wide on the left and it wasn't long before he was involved - starting a neat flowing move which ended with a long-range Tiote strike rising just over the top with Gabulov at full-stretch.
But the visitors almost stunned more than 45,000 Geordies inside St. James' Park with a late winner. Awarded a free-kick 20 yards out and with just two minutes remaining, wide man Mbark Boussoufa curled a strike over the wall and against the underside of the bar, with the ball fortunately bouncing clear to safety.
And Cisse made them pay with the last kick of the match.
Marveaux jinked in off the right flank before curling a ball onto the frontman's head six-yards out, and Cisse made no mistake with a bullet header that clinched United's spot in the Europa League quarter-finals.
Newcastle United (4-3-3): Rob Elliot; Davide Santon, Steven Taylor, Mapou Yanga-Mbiwa, Massadio Haïdara; Vurnon Anita (Adam Campbell 71), Cheick Tiote, Yohan Cabaye (c) (Jonas Gutierrez 37); Sylvain Marveaux, Papiss Cisse, Moussa Sissoko

4 buried tanker cars found a Waterloo plant site
Demolition workers have found four railroad tanker cars buried at a former plant site in Waterloo.
City officials don't suspect the cars hold any hazardous materials and say the city knew the cars were at the former Chamberlain Manufacturing Corp. site.
Chris Western, of the city planning department, says the city was told the cars had been cleaned and were filled with sand.
Western says the city will be asking Chamberlain Manufacturing to pay the expected $2,000 cost of removing them. Chamberlain is now a part of The Duchossois Group of Elmhurst, Ill.
He also says that if the cars are indeed cleaned out and pose no environmental hazard, it wouldn't hurt to leave them buried in place.

Lessons Learned From Flint
Two years ago in an attempt to save 5 million dollars, Flint switched the source of the city's drinking water to the Flint River from the City of Detroit water system. This switch to a contaminated river and improper water treatment released lead into the drinking water system. So far, it has cost over 50 million dollars to address the immediate situation with much higher costs anticipated to implement a long term solution. Please see Water Management's brief article on the topic.

Season 1 | Episode 1 | "Pilot" | Aired September 24, 1993
Editors' Note: As our excitement for the upcoming spinoff series Girl Meets World builds, John Hanlon will recap the original series that ran from 1993–2000, reminding us why we fell in love with Cory Matthews, Topanga Lawrence and Shawn Hunter in the first place.
"Good morning, Mr. Feeny," are the first words Cory Matthews (Ben Savage) speaks during the pilot episode of Boy Meets World. The show opens in the school cafeteria of John Adams High School in the Philadelphia area, where Cory is an 11-year-old sixth-grade student and the wry George Feeny (William Daniels) serves as his curmudgeonly teacher.
The pilot revolves around the concept of love, which is consuming young Cory's mind. After a sarcastic encounter with Feeny, Cory shows his love for his best friends — whom he later refers to as his brothers — as they compare notes on who was was able to stay up later watching television the night before. Cory's friends are the beloved Shawn Hunter (Rider Strong) — a fan favorite who stays on the show until the end— and Nicholas (Chauncey Leopardi), who never appears again. Oh, love is such a fickle thing.
In his English class, Mr. Feeny — who lives next door to the Matthews family — teaches about love via the classic novel Romeo and Juliet. Instead of paying attention in class, Cory listens to the Phillies baseball game over his headphones, which he argues serve as his hearing aid when Feeny confiscates them. Feeny wants his students to learn about what he calls "the all-consuming power of love and the inevitability of its influence on each of our lives," but Cory doesn't care about the concept.
Cory even begins to hate the idea of love when his older brother, Eric (Will Friedle), cancels their planned outing to a Phillies game because of it. The Phillies are approaching the playoffs, so Cory is disappointed when he learns that Eric would rather go to the game with Heather, one of Eric's popular female schoolmates whom everyone in his class wants to date. Cory complains to his parents about the situation — they're are unsympathetic to his plight — and argues that he earned one of Eric's tickets.
"I slept with him for 11 years," he says, referring to their shared bedroom.
With his family unmoved, Cory relocates to the family tree house — sleeping there for the first time ever. From his perch, he witnesses Feeny setting out a fine dinner for him and a date before the professor receives an abrupt phone call and removes the second plate from the table. His date has canceled on him, Cory believes.
At detention that Friday, Cory talks to Feeny about the negative impact of love. Cory argues that his older brother had abandoned him because of love, and Feeny's own heart had broken when he put too much emphasis on the concept. Feeny rejects the argument, noting that Cory and his whole family only exist because his parents fell in love. Love has its downside, but Feeny believes it's worth fighting for.
As the episode winds down, Cory — who is caught stealing underwear from his bedroom by his mother (Betsy Randle) — recognizes that priorities change. Eric may have abandoned Cory in this situation, but Cory learns that he had abandoned his father (William Russ) years earlier when he opted to throw the football around with his friends rather than his dad. Cory moves back into the house and, after hearing about Eric's botched date, he even encourages his brother to ask her out again. Concluding the episode, Cory sits down to have tea with his younger sister, Morgan (Lily Nicksay), who serves her beverages with the imaginary ingredients of "sugar, milk and ketchup." Cory also learns that Feeny's botched dinner wasn't a date at all. He was planning to have dinner with his sister, who canceled at the last minute. When the episode ends, though, Feeny looks for love himself and invites his fellow teacher Evelyn (Cynthia Mace) to dinner.
Like Nicholas, Evelyn is never seen again on the program.
Love is such a fickle thing.
Life lesson: Priorities change, but love will always remain (except if your name is Nicholas or Evelyn).
Memorable Quote: "I'm a kid. I don't understand the emotional content of 'Full House.'" — Cory on Feeny's attempt to teach him about the emotional content of Romeo and Juliet.
Note: Topanga (and Stuart Minkus) are noticeably absent in this episode about love. Neither of those supporting characters has been introduced yet.
What did you think about the pilot episode of Boy Meets World? Do you think Girl Meets World can live up to the show? And where do you think Nicholas went?

Protests against Taichung's planned Xueshan gondola
By Janice Lin, Special to The China Post
July 9, 2014, 12:01 am TWN
TAIPEI, Taiwan -- Taichung City's Xueshan-Kukuan gondola project angered numerous conservation groups, who have announced plans to march in the streets of Taichung City on Sunday.
Tsai Chih-hao (蔡智豪), the secretary-general of the Taiwan Academy of Ecology, said in order to build the gondola, construction would do irrevocable damage to the local forests and mountainsides. Tsai said the construction will also harm the habitats of the Formosan Black Bear, further endangering the nearly extinct species; Tsai urged civilians to step forward against the project.
Kuo Yan-ren (郭彥仁), a researcher of the Formosan Black Bear Conservation Association, said the Xueshan gondola would reach an elevation of 2,200 meters, which would disturb the habitat of a batch of wild black bears.
In May, researchers captured surveillance footage of at least five different adult black bears and a mother bear leading her cubs, Kuo said. Formosan black bears are rarely seen in Northern Taiwan, making their appearance in Xueshan even more significant, according to Kuo.
Kuo said that mountain climbers would sometimes walk 200 kilometers into the habitat of the black bears. He also said that after the gondolas are successfully developed, it would slice the black bears' habitat in two, compressing even more of their living space.
Tsai said the final destination of the protest against the Xueshan gondola, which is slated to take place this Sunday from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m., would be the Taichung City Hall. The protest will begin in the Taichung Public Square. He also finds the Taichung City Government's move to assign Environment Protection Bureau (EPU) staff to accompany the protesters as an act of cooperation to be inappropriate, preferring representatives from the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) team because officials from the EPU have no professional ecology background.
Huang Chong-dian (黃崇典), an advisor for the EPU, suggested that the bureau seek advice from the central government on the matter.

|Appearance chronology
|◄ "Voorgoed voorbij" (1956)
|"Heel de wereld" (1958) ►
"Net als toen" ("Just like then") was the winning song of the Eurovision Song Contest 1957 performed in Dutch by Corry Brokken representing the Netherlands.
The song is a classic chanson, with the singer addressing her husband and asking him if he remembers their early days as a couple. The lyrics suggest that the romance has gone out of the marriage, although it had not always been this way. Brokken also recorded the song in French and German, as "Tout comme avant" and "Damals war alles so schön".
The song was performed sixth on the night, following Austria's Bob Martin with "Wohin, kleines Pony?" and preceding Germany's Margot Hielscher with "Telefon, Telefon". By the close of voting, it had received 31 points, placing it first in a field of ten.
The song was succeeded in 1958 as Contest winner by "Dors, mon amour", performed by André Claveau representing France.
It was succeeded as Dutch representative at the 1958 contest by Brokken again, this time singing "Heel de wereld".

Next, get x by itself, adding 11 to both sides, and then dividing by 132...
Remember, you can add or subtract the same value to both sides of the equation, and it stays equal. Not just numbers, but variables too, like x, or 5x, etc. And you can multiply or divide every term on both sides of the equation by the same value. Again, number and variables work.
Try it on this one.
- Clear the fraction by multiplying.
- Get the x terms on one side, and the numbers on the other, by adding and subtracting as needed.
- Get x by itself by dividing.Well, the rule or equation will be linear, and so should be of the form:
and this
Complete the table, and write a rule relating x and y (write an equation)
You need to figure out m and b. Use the entries where both x and y are given (there are four of them) to do this. If you pick the right one, you should be able to get a value for b. Then, use one of the other three to find m.
You'll need to use the techniques from the first two problems when solving for b and m.

Degrees Held: MClSc in Audiology (Western),
BA Honours in Psychology (Winnipeg)
Current Role: I am an Audiologist and Clinical Specialist with Advanced Bionics, a cochlear implant manufacturer. A cochlear implant is a surgically implanted hearing device that restores hearing for children and adults with severe to profound hearing loss. My role is to support audiologists working with cochlear implants through programming support, troubleshooting assistance, and training. I work from my home and travel to audiology clinics across Canada on a semi-regular basis.
Why did you choose Western Health Sciences: I wanted to work with and learn from the best clinicians and researchers in my field. Western offered academic and real-world experiences that could not be found elsewhere.
How did your Western experience prepare you for the next steps in your career and what doors did it open for you:
I learned the skills necessary to enter the workforce prepared and confident in my abilities. I learned how important formal education and training is to my profession as well as the importance of ongoing, self-motivated learning. My experiences at Western connected me with professionals around Canada and internationally. I graduated as part of a community of professionals striving to provide the best possible care. I made invaluable connections with clinicians, researchers and industry representatives.
What do you find most satisfying about your career choice: The opportunity to help people in a way that truly impacts every aspect of their lives. Being part of a team that restores a person's sense of hearing can be profoundly moving. I get to be involved in not only providing the sense of hearing but also helping children, adults and their families fully engage with the world.
Favourite Western memory: There is no one memory of Western that sticks out as a favourite. Rather, it is thinking of all the friends I made and how much fun we had in spite of (or because of) being a great big group of audiology-nerds. We pushed and constantly challenged each other and had a lot of fun doing it.
Best thing about being a student at Western: Being part of a community of like-minded individuals and learning from people who are the best in their field.
Advice to future students considering Western Health Sciences: Be prepared to be challenged and pushed beyond your limits. Take responsibility for challenging and pushing your professors and mentors beyond their limits. Ask questions and appreciate the discovery of new information and skills. Enjoy every aspect of the experience and be prepared to be welcomed in to the working world when you're done.

Where was I on Abrams Creek?
I went up Lower Abrams from 72 the other day without a game plan and was wondering where I was (I know this is does not sound good). I went up past the campground beyond the parking lot and followed the hiking trail for about a mile or so (I did not have a map) and made a right hand turn at the next campsite. From there I went up a mountain and followed the trail for about another mile until the trail came down to meet the river on my right (about 15 feet away) - any idea where I was and why it took so long to hike back down to the campsite? I have since looked at maps and they do not seem to make sense. Is it possible that I hiked in further than I think I did? It was an awsome day of fishing and hiking, but is this strectch passable when the water is up? Is there any way to get back to the trail if you do not want to fish the entire strectch that I may have missed? I must tell you, I was happy to finally see the campground and wish I had taken a camera. Ultimately I am trying to see where I was a map of some sort. Any help would be appreciated.
Sounds like you were headed to campsite 17 on the Little Bottoms Trail. If you started out at the Abrams Creek Campground you would have been on Cooper Road Trail. The right hand turn would have been at Backcountry Campsite 1 onto Little Bottoms Trail. You were back there a ways if this is the case.
You say the fishing was good? I would have thought this time of year that section of Abrams would mainly hold smallmouth and shiners. If you don't mind me askin, what all did you catch?
You must have really fished hard to get all the way back down to the campground. I'm not trying to be flippant here, but take some advice:
Buy a park map and a compass and know how to use them. Your outing ended just fine, but others have not been as lucky.
Glad you got out before dark!
Charles M.
Abrams Creek
I greatly appreciate the information and would love to share some with you.
PM me at firstname.lastname@example.com
Little Bottoms
Like Charles said, you were on the Little Bottoms Trail near Campsite #17. If you like exploring, I would recommend the TrailsIllustrated Map for the Great Smoky Mtns National Park (#229) and also the Hiking Trails of the Smokies book (it has elevation profiles and points out spots that trails cross stream, etc). You can easily carry both of them with you (as well as a compass).
The hike up over the ridge is good heart pumper. Did you say you fished all the way back down to the campground? Did you really catch any fish over there? How was the water? Typically that section of the stream does not fare too well, this time of year. It's usually much better in the spring.
No one has talked much about Abrams in awhile, so any info would be appreciated by everyone...
Where was I
Yes I did make it all the way back to the campground. The fishing was good, if you count big chubs (really big and colorfull) and smallmouths. Saw some good looking fish. The landscape is awsome - but, boy it is a hike.
The water
There seems to be plenty of water, but based on the exposed rock bed it could be higher. If it were any higher ( say 12 - 15 inches ) I do not know how you could wade straight through to the campground. If it was as high as I figure it could be there is no way you could make it through without bushwacking.
Water Levels
I've fished it in the Spring a little past Kingfisher Creek (where the stream bends and the trail leaves Abrams) and at Little Bottoms, but not in between. Parts of Abrams above the campground can be waded, but not forded. Most of it can, but there are a few spots that it is pretty deep. There also isn't much of a trail below Little Bottoms, so bushwhacking would be the only way (other than through the water).
What did you catch the Smallies and Chubs with?

park map
I know that this has been mentioned before, but for those who may have missed it check out the trail map at www.nps.gov/grsm/planyourvisit/maps.htm
Hey there fellows, I was wondering if any of you could give me any suggestions on flies to use on lower Abrams. I just moved to Maryville, TN from south Alabama and am trying to check out some of the fishing holes. I also am new to trout and smallmouth fishing. I read an article about Abrams, it said to use the nymphs and that dry flies weren't that productive. Is that true? I wanna learn to trout and smallmouth fish so any suggestion on flies to use over at lower Abrams would be greatfully appreciated.
If you don't wanna post it on here, you can email me at

As cyclists around central Ohio prepare for the 2014 Pelotonia cancer research fundraiser Aug. 8-10, Team Bexley is nearing an important mile-marker.
The group of volunteers is just $5,000 away from having raised $1 million for Pelotonia.
That amount represents the cumulative total that Team Bexley members have raised in the four years it has been in existence, team captain Susan Kondracke said. The amount is particularly impressive, considering Team Bexley is an independent group with no corporate sponsors, she said.
"We're just a group of passionate people who are willing to continually put posts on our Facebook page and send out notes and people respond," she said. "Cancer is something that everyone is contending with. We are reaching far beyond Bexley."
For many of the Team Bexley members, raising money for cancer research is a cause that hits home.
"I lost my dad to cancer 27 years ago," Kondracke said. "Pelotonia is really like therapy. I'm doing something positive. I'm giving back.
"It's empowering, both from a personal level and a global level."
Team Bexley currently has 33 members, but that number has varied over the past few years, Kondracke said.
Each person commits to raising a certain amount of money each year, such as Kondracke's individual goal of $1,800.
Team members raise money by sending requests to family, friends and neighbors. The team also holds group fundraisers, such as the upcoming "Cardio for a Cause" from 10:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. May 17 at Ignite Health & Fitness, 21 E. State St. in downtown Columbus.
To prepare for the actual cycling, Team Bexley meets for monthly training rides, departing from the Roll bicycle store at 2468 E. Main St. Its most recent training session was held Sunday, May 4.
Team Bexley members were joined on their May 4 ride by a guest cyclist, Dr. Richard Goldberg, physician-in-chief at the Ohio State University's Comprehensive Cancer Center-Arthur G. James Cancer Hospital and Richard J. Solove Research Institute. Goldberg, a Worthington resident who lost his mother to cancer 10 years ago, said he rode with Team Bexley to help motivate members to raise as much money as possible.
"I'm here to help cheerlead for the Pelotonia. We're delighted having so many people from Bexley participating," Goldberg said. "I get support for my research from Pelotonia funds, so I'm personally grateful as well as institutionally grateful for what everyone in Columbus does to support the teams."

Characteristics: The zinfandel grape is California's own noble variety that assumes as many disguises as a Hollywood actor. It can be anything from a simple charmer to an intense, high-alcohol wine that screams for attention. The new fetish is for "old vine" zins, made from patches of 50- to 100-year-old vines like this one. Renwood's old vine zinfandel is impressive with its ripe, zesty, jammy berry and raspberry flavors and complex peppery finish. Be prepared to have your lips turn red!
Cost: About $20
Food Pairings: Heavy zinfandels require heavy, robust foods such as beef stews, big Texas steaks, braised lamb chops and, my favorite, barbecue briskets.
Comments: Renwood Winery is located in the middle of Shenandoah Valley in Amador County in the Sierra Foothills of California. This is zinfandel country and home to the oldest vineyard in the state - an 1868 vineyard still producing wine. Renwood's zinfandels are all French oak-aged and bottle-aged for two more years before release in a full-throttle, take-no-prisoners style. There are as many as eight zinfandels made at Renwood.

Area scouts compete in annual event
By: Scott Benjamin
"They had a blast," said Thomas Tyrell, the leader for Troop 5, which mostly includes 11 to 13 year olds.
The troop's Midnight Soldiers patrol captured the first-place ribbons in a competitive finish with 127 points during the all-day event, which was held Saturday at the Hoyt Scout Park in West Redding. The Weasels, also of Troop 5, placed second with 125 points.
"It was a great day for it, and I think they learned a lot," Mr. Tyrell said, even though temperatures hovered well below the freezing mark.
Joey's Patrol of Troop 33 in Danbury and the White Moose of Troop 270 in Newtown tied for third place, with 124 points each.
The 370 Scouts, who came from troops in eight municipalities in the metro Danbury area, were timed and judged at a variety of stations. About 250 of them camped out at the park the previous night.
Mr. Tyrell said Troop 5 and troops 135 and 8, also from Brookfield, organized this year's event. He said the derby also has been held in recent years at Tarrywile Park in Danbury and at the Governor's Horse Guard area in Newtown.
"It's been going forever," he said, noting that he participated in the derby while he was a Scout in Westchester County, N.Y., in the late 1960s.
The Scouts had been preparing for the event for months.
"We had to cut down wood and build it," Scout Michael Chengeri, 13, of the Weasels said regarding the construction of his team's sled.
He said the most enjoyable part of the weekend was "shoving people into the snow."
"It's about teamwork and leadership," Ray Pflomm, the leader of Troop 135, said regarding the derby. "The natural leader usually rises to the top."
He said that young people who participate in the Scouts acquire valuable skills.
"I don't think the community knows enough about what we give back to the community," Mr. Pflomm said. "When they're done with college, through Scouting they will know how to relate to the real world."

Seriously, that was the shirt you decided to wear for the family photo with Santa?
Seriously, that was the shirt you decided to wear for the family photo with Santa?
What's with the Clown??? And the eyebrows????????
What was the motivation behind this one - Merry Christmas from Mom, the kids and Dad the porn star?
Lil' Jo may be seeing the Baby Jesus sooner than he thinks.
OMG - it's like Christmas "camo"!
Either Grandma is getting her sexy on, or Mom is looking for her youth - stop looking.
It probably seemed like a better idea in their heads.
Why is it that people think it's okay to make a complete a#* of Grandma.
Is Santa being held hostage?
"Oh Joseph, he looks just like you!"
These guys are trying way too hard to be bad. It's painful.
Merry Christmas from the Dork family, thank you, thank you very much.
This takes Christmas to a whole new level.
They have entirely too much time on their hands to dream this one up.
I don't know what's more horrifying - the family pj's or the hideous furry couch.
To you, an your kin, we wish you peace and joy!
The first signs of little Jimmy's psychotic break.
This is wrong on so many levels.

Skip to comments.Investors flee Carbonite after Limbaugh announcement
Posted on 03/06/2012 3:13:32 PM PST by Nachum
On Saturday, Carbonite CEO David Friend released a statement on his companys website declaring that Carbonite had decided to withdraw advertising from Rush Limbaughs radio show in the wake of his controversial remarks involving Georgetown Law student Sandra Fluke because it will ultimately contribute to a more civilized public discourse:
Even though Mr. Limbaugh has now issued an apology, we have nonetheless decided to withdraw our advertising from his show. We hope that our action, along with the other advertisers who have already withdrawn their ads, will ultimately contribute to a more civilized public discourse.
However, it hasnt done much to contribute to his companys stock price. Since the market opened on Monday through its close today, Carbonite stock (NASDAQ:CARB) has plummeted nearly 12 percent, outpacing the drop of the NASDAQ index in that same time period by nine-and-a-half points.
(Excerpt) Read more at dailycaller.com ...
Liberty interactive owns Proflowers.com. There, I did it. Have fun you all.
By the way, the list of advertisers came from here:
This was sent to me by a lefty family member.
What if you made up a sob story like it was your sons laptop and he was killed in a horrific moose accident (the computer was too)? Maybe they would take pity an refund? You wouldn't get to make a statement that you were dropping them because of Rush, but the end result would be the same: Carbonite loses a customer.
I never heard of Carbonite before Rush. After this, I bet I never hear of them again, either.
Anyone who dropped Rush obviously doesn't want MY business.
If we have to pay for other's birth control, then shouldn't we have a say in who they have sex with? Hmmm - makes sense to me.
Proflowers dropped Rush? Well that's ONE company I can cancel. I don't do business with any of the others.
Thanks for the charts. Interesting to see the trends following their announcements of cutting off Rush.....
I don't get to listen to Rush but I'd love a list of his advertisers that didn't abandon him so I can give them my business.
I predict that as this nation polorizes more and more, businesses on average will decide there is too much public relations liability of being involved with the sponsorship of any kind of political commentary programs, and just ditch them altogether.
I hope that gets Carbonite's attention. And all the other leftist organizations who think they don't need us- consumers.
Of course Obama has a slush fund for em, so probably won't make a difference.
You may have seen it and not known it.
a blow to capitalism at the same time—
I bought tea from twoifbytea...to help Rush. He is a sponsor of his own show.
I have to buy John Deere products sometimes but will work harder not to now. I was considering LegalZoom for a few things and Carbonite but no longer, the rest can kiss any future business goodbye too.
Your data should be quite well protected...if it survives the freezing process, that is.
IOW, we were gliding toward obscurity before. Now, we're racing toward it!!
If the data is in your house, the government would need a warrant, and you would know they were interested. If your data is on Carbonite's servers and a government official asked for it, and to not tell you they looked, how would you know?
I've always thought that liberal women only needed to use their personalities for contraception.
Let's wait till we see how Rush's ex-advertisers do over a longer haul than just today.
I'll bet when the market goes up again, his rat sponsers will stay mired at their low pond-scum level.
That depends. If they figure out first that liberals are cheap, whiny, needy customers (if they are customers at all), while conservatives will part with hard-earned dollars for a worthy product or service, they might do otherwise.
I ordered two cases the other day as well. Hope he continues to get a busy signal as he calls to cancel his own company's advertising, lol.
His total statement on cancelling his own advertising was hilarious....
Freep-mail me to get on or off my pro-life and Catholic List:
Please ping me to note-worthy Pro-Life or Catholic threads, or other threads of general interest.
It was one of the first things he said when he started his show on Monday .... it was a 'masterful' way to start the day .... say what you will about Rush, the guy is just plain "good"!!
BTW, if there is a radio station in your area that carries the Rush show, contact them and thank them. I did this today & was shocked to find that the station in my area is under intense & organized pressure by the Left. I am trying to organize "the troops" in my area to send positive feedback to the station .... the Left has declared all out WAR on Rush .... this is one war we CANNOT lose. Cowering in silence is not an option ..... so I am DOING something.
Is it wrong of me to be laughing? ;)
Thanks for that graph!!!!
It's probably a short list.
You're awesome...
I don't usually call or write, but live in the country and the station that carrys it 2 hours later is small and I think I will call them and thank them...gg
Hey folks .... I sent an e-mail to my local radio station today to thank them for carrying the Rush show because I was certain they were coming under intense pressure. The message I got back was:
It hasnt been easy. The opposition is very organized...but thanks.
I guess I should not have been surprised . but I was. This is a strong Rush market and I did not expect the station to be coming under such pressure.
If you are so inclined, PLEASE contact your local Rush radio station and let them know that you support them for carrying Rush. If you have state 'ping' lists, let them know this is going on. Enlist the aid of your friends and relatives living in the area ... whatever resources you have to get the message to these beleaguered radio stations, use them!
If you want some interesting if not shocking reading on how organized these Leftists are, heres an article worth reading:
Its a few pages long, please read it all. We CANNOT let the Left win this war and make no mistake, it is a WAR.
We are living in the times described by George Orwell when he said In an era of universal deceit, the truth is a revolutionary act. I say: To cower in silence is no longer an option. I know the power of FReepers when they get together and ACT this is the time to DO something!!!
Thanks! I sent out a ping to all on this thread .... didn't leave you out, either! FReeper power is 'awesome' .... we can make a difference!
Thanks I ill send an email to our station that carries Rush:)
I'm sure the station will appreciate it! Thanks!
True enough; but before everyone goes overboard with these sponsors, has anyone heard the radio programming before and after rush's show today? IOW, are they all still advertising on Hannity, levin, etc.?
Actually, many women use their birth control pills as hormonal regulators. And if you'd check with your significant other, you'd find that the pill as birth control does not just magically work by taking it only on the nights one has sex. They have to take it daily for a while, which is why most women of all political stripes who take the pill take it continuously throughout the year; it doesn't mean or imply anyone is having sex 365 days a year. Very different from what guys do. Viagra and male enhancement products seem to be offered on many health insurance programs' plans though.
and? so you think someone should be forced to pay for other peoples birth control and religions organizations should be included in that.
women benefit from viagra too ya know
Doesn't matter, they made public statements dropping Rush. They should suffer the results publically.
Sure will. Thanks for the update. BTW Carbonite stock down.
Payback for cowardice - they deserve it in spades!! Thanks for your help with the radio station(s).
I just told my wife to call Vitacost and tell them to pack sand up their butt...
Let's wait till we see how Rush's ex-advertisers do over a longer haul than just today.
I'll bet when the market goes up again, his rat sponsers will stay mired at their low pond-scum level.
I read it and got madder and sent off emails. Thanks for the link.
She's probably a thespian and lying about the need for BC too.
Surprised the guy would even advertise on Rush's show.
Why not advertise on Rush? They are using our money to kill us with. Hollywood has been doing it for years.It also worked with the main stream media for years.

My RotoBowl Team
Saturday was my first foray in RotoBowl and it didn't quite go as planned.
Here's a look at my draft and what I was thinking on each pick.
Round 1
Frank Gore: I had the fifth pick. It came down to the upside of Gore or the safety of Marion Barber. I chose the upside with Gore in perhaps the best offensive scheme in the NFL where the backs put up huge numbers.
Tom Brady: Those footballinjuries.com subscribers who have followed my drafting habits over the years know that I rarely take a QB before the fifth round. This pick came down to Marques Colston or Brady. I knew neither play would be there for me in the next round. I had targeted Braylon Edwards who went right before me. I just couldn't get around what Brady did last year. But I also looked ahead, as I always do, to see who might be there for me with the next pick. You have to always plan out what might happen if you take a player here. The plan would be to go with Brandon Marshall or Steve Smith or even Santonio Holmes in the next round.
Santonio Holmes: Interestingly, Marshall went off the board [...]

The conclusion to the MLB trade season brought with it a slew of trades that depleted the supply of top prospects for teams in contention and stocked up the supply for teams looking toward the future.
In the Baltimore Orioles' case, they traded away top pitching prospect Eduardo Rodriguez to the Boston Red Sox in exchange for a shutdown lefty reliever in Andrew Miller.
With Kevin Gausman losing his prospect status recently and the subtraction of Rodriguez from the prospect pool, the Orioles are now left with only Dylan Bundy and Hunter Harvey as their lone blue-chip prospects.
There is a clear second-tier of valuable prospects, though, that consists of players such as Chance Sisco, Christian Walker, Josh Hart, Tim Berry and Mike Wright.
While some of these names may be familiar to the casual Orioles fan, here are some prospects who no one has been talking about but who may find themselves shooting up prospect rankings by the end of the season.
