COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (Aug. 8, 2010) – The U.S. Women's National Volleyball Team lost to Poland 16-25, 26-24, 25-19, 25-23 on Sunday afternoon during the opening weekend of preliminary pool play of the 18th FIVB World Grand Prix in Gdynia, Poland.
Team USA, which dropped to 1-2 in this year's World Grand Prix, travels next week to Bangkok, Thailand, for the second preliminary round weekend and will challenge Italy on Aug. 13, Thailand on Aug. 14 and Puerto Rico on Aug. 15. The U.S. concludes pool play in Hong Kong with matches against Germany on Aug. 20, Thailand on Aug. 21 and China on Aug. 22.
The U.S. built a quick 5-1 lead in the opening set and cruised to a 25-16 victory as it did not commit a single error in the opener. Poland rallied from a 24-20 deficit in the second set to score the final six points to win 26-24. Poland's momentum continued early in the third set with a 5-1 lead and the hosts eased to a 25-19 victory. Poland used a 5-0 run to rally from a 14-10 deficit in the fourth set and battled to a 25-23 victory as the lead changed three times in the late stages.
"Congratulations to Poland," U.S. Women's National Team Head Coach Hugh McCutcheon (Christchurch, New Zealand) said. "It was a good match in a great atmosphere. Polish fans are amazing, they are very passionate. We lost because we are not experienced. I hope we will learn from this weekend and improve a lot. We are trying to form our team right now."
The U.S. had balanced scoring for the match as all five starting hitters had at least 11 points. Destinee Hooker (San Antonio) led the Americans for the third straight match with 19 points on 16 kills via 43 attacks and three blocks. Megan Hodge (Durham, N.C.) added 11 kills and three blocks for 14 points. Heather Bown (Yorba Linda, Calif.) chipped in eight kills on 14 errorless swings and a match-high four blocks for 12 points. Jordan Larson (Hooper, Neb.) contributed eight kills, all three American aces and a block for 12 points. Foluke Akinradewo (Plantation, Fla.) rounded out the scoring with eight kills on 14 attacks and three blocks for 11 points.
Alisha Glass (Leland, Mich.) provided 41 running sets on 95 total set attempts. Nicole Davis (Stockton, Calif.) contributed a team-high 19 digs and four excellent service receptions on 11 attempts. Hodge and Glass added 16 digs apiece, while Hodge had a team-high six excellent service receptions.
"I'm really proud of my teammates, they played very well," said U.S. captain Jennifer Tamas (Milpitas, Calif.) "Now we are going to go to the locker room and think about what we can do to get this 'W' – win. We have to figure out the way to put together all the good things that happened here this weekend. We love how passionate Poland is for volleyball. Polish fans cheering in unison, singing the anthem in unison - it is very inspiring."
McCutcheon started Larson and Hodge at outside hitter, Akinradewo and Bown at middle blocker, Hooker at opposite and Glass at setter. Davis was the designated libero for the match. Cynthia Barboza (Long Beach, Calif.) was a sub in all four sets, while Ogonna Nnamani (Bloomington, Ill.) and Nellie Spicer (Barrington) were part of a double-switch in the third set.
Poland held a 67-51 advantage in kills and a 7-3 margin in aces. Poland converted 43.2 percent of its attacks into points with a .271 hitting efficiency. The U.S. converted 36.4 percent of its attacks into points as part of a .279 hitting efficiency. Team USA had a 14-9 advantage in blocks and held its errors to nine for the four-set match. Poland committed 23 errors in the match. Poland also had a 116-94 dig advantage.
Katarzyna Skowronska-Dolata paced Poland with 21 points via 17 kills, two blocks and two aces. Karolina Kosek added 16 kills, two aces and a block for 19 points, while Anna Baranska provided 18 points on 15 kills, two blocks and an ace.
"We are very happy about the victory," Skowronska-Dolata said. "We knew it wouldn't be an easy game, that the Americans are a strong team, who play very well technically. They caused us some problems with flat balls right above the net. We are happy to win the group and we hope that after the long journey to Japan we will win the next one as well. We are in the stage of training where we are treating everything as an occasion to harmonize our team. I think traveling and time differences will bother us a little, but we are professionals, and we have to deal with it. Of course we are tired, we won't be walking around smiling and full of energy, because we are in the middle of the season. We have to give a 100 percent on the court. At the end of the second set, when we were losing 20-24 we had very good service and spikes. Moments like these show that with maximum concentration we are able to win. It is a shame that we let the situation like this happen."
"We are very happy that we won three games here," Poland Head Coach Jerzy Matlak said. "In first two sets today we were losing because of our mistakes, but we have managed to win with our problems. We played great at the end of the second set and from that moment it was easier. Situations like these give us a lesson – nothing is impossible, you can't give up after losing first set. The girls showed us, that despite all the mistakes, anything is possible. I am scared to think what will happen when we won't have all those troubles. Our chances for World Grand Prix Final Round are now bigger than three days ago. Now my players will get free evening, but tomorrow we are going to Japan."
In other World Grand Prix action today, Italy (2-1) surprised defending champion Brazil (2-1) with a 25-22, 25-21, 18-25, 25-19 victory and Japan (2-1) topped Chinese Taipei (0-3) 25-16, 25-16, 25-16 at Sao Carlos, Brazil, in Pool A. China (3-0) downed Netherlands (2-1) 19-25, 25-20, 25-15, 25-21 and Puerto Rico (1-2) beat Thailand (0-3) 25-22, 25-23, 25-21 at Chengdu, China, in Pool C. Later today, Germany (1-1) takes on Dominican Republic (0-2) in Poland to wrap up Pool B.

The U.S. scored the first two points of the opening set with an Akinradewo kill and Glass service winner at 2-0. Team USA increased its advantage to 5-1 following an Akinradewo kill, Poland error and Larson ace leading to a Polish timeout. The teams traded the next 16 points until Bown and Hodge put up consecutive blocks to push the U.S. advantage to 14-9 leading to a second Poland timeout. Out of the break, Bown hit consecutive kills to extend the American advantage to 16-9 at the second technical timeout. Larson followed a Poland service error with a kill to increase the American advantage to 18-10. Poland scored its first point off its serve at 22-16. However, the U.S. would score the final three points on a kill and block by Bown and a Poland hitting error on match point at 25-16. Bown, Akinradewo and Hodge all had four points for the U.S. in the opening set as the Americans did not commit an error. Team USA also had a 3-0 advantage in blocks.
Poland picked up a two-point cushion early in the second set at 3-1, then extended its lead to three points at 5-2 on an ace. Poland went into the first technical timeout leading 8-4 on its second ace of the set. The U.S. went on a 5-0 scoring run with a kill from Hodge and blocks from Hooker and Akinradewo surrounded by Poland errors to assume a 10-9 advantage. Team USA stretched its lead to two points with an Akinradewo block and Larson ace at 12-10. Poland bounced back to tie the set at 12-all. Bown connected for a kill going into the second technical timeout and Larson scored consecutive kills following the break to yield an 18-15 American lead and forcing Poland to call timeout. Team USA jumped its lead to four points at 20-16 with a Larson kill and Hooker block. Poland narrowed the gap in half with an ace at 22-20 leading to a USA timeout. The Americans responded with a Hooker kill and Poland error to reach set point at 24-20. Poland saved two set points to close to 24-22 resulting in a USA timeout. Poland continued the comeback and tied the set at 24-all with the fourth set point saved coming on an ace. Poland then went on to win 26-24 with its sixth straight point. Hooker had six points in the second set to pace the Americans in the set, but Poland's four aces kept it in the set despite its eight errors leading to USA points.
Poland continued its momentum by jumping to a 5-1 advantage in the third set as the American serve-reception accounted for three Poland points. Poland jumped its margin to five points at 13-8 following a U.S. attack error, then increased the advantage to 18-11 with three unanswered points. Akinradewo stuff blocked a Poland attack after a Poland error to slice the deficit to five points at 18-13. Hooker connected for consecutive kills to whittle the gap to four points at 21-17, but Poland answered with consecutive points to take a 23-17 advantage. Poland traded points to reach a 25-19 victory. Hooker totaled five points in the third set in which Poland had two aces and two blocks.
Poland scored three unanswered points to break a 2-all tie and gain a 5-2 advantage. The U.S. answered with kills from Larson and Hooker to move to within one at 5-4. Poland scored back-to-back points to assume a 7-4 lead. Akinradewo connected for two quick kills and Hooker slammed a kill to tie the set at 7-all. Larson found open court for an ace yielding a U.S. 8-7 lead at the first technical timeout. Out of the break, Hodge added to the run of five points with a block at 9-7. Akinradewo and Hodge turned in kills around a Poland error putting the U.S. up 12-8 forcing a Poland timeout. Poland cut its deficit in half with consecutive points at 12-10. Bown answered with a kill and block to push the margin back to four points at 14-10. However, Poland pushed back to score the next five points to take a 15-14 advantage. Team USA responded with a Hodge kill and Larson block to reach the second technical timeout leading 16-15. Out of the break, Poland scored the next two points to take a 17-16 lead. The U.S. went back in front 20-19 on a Hooker kill and Poland hitting error. Team USA increased its lead to 22-20 with a Hodge kill and Hooker block. Poland came back with the next two points to tie the set at 22-all, then put up a block after a U.S. timeout to take 23-22 lead. Poland reached match point at 24-22 before Hodge saved one match point with a block. However, Poland was not denied on its second chance with a kill at 25-23. Hooker and Hodge each scored five points in the fourth set and the U.S. has six blocks in the set. Poland turned in five blocks in the fourth set and had just two errors.

Hooks, Bell
Bell Hooks 1952–
(Born Gloria Watkins) American essayist.
Known as one of the new African American intellectuals along with Cornel West, Michael Eric Dyson, and Derrick Bell, hooks reaches a wider audience than most essayists because of her dismissal of academic convention and her inclusion of personal reflection in her scholarly work. Hooks, who addresses such subjects as feminism, civil rights, and black womanhood, raises important questions about the tension between black women and white women in the feminist movement and analyzes how the media and popular culture portray African Americans.
Biographical Information
Born Gloria Watkins in Hopkinsville, Kentucky, hooks chose to write under the name of her great-grandmother to honor her foremothers; she often refers to a household full of strong black women as one of her greatest influences. Hooks received her bachelor of arts degree from Stanford University in 1973 and her Ph.D. in English from the University of California at Santa Cruz in 1983. Throughout her years of study, hooks had difficulty reconciling her small-town Southern roots with her academic life. This disparity would later become a subject in her essays. In the mid-1980's, hooks became an assistant professor of Afro-American Studies and English at Yale University. Later she became a professor of English and Women's Studies at Oberlin College and then moved to City College in New York as a professor of English. Hooks had always been interested in expressing herself through writing, and a friend finally convinced her to write her first collection Ain't I a Woman (1981). In 1991 hooks was presented the Before Columbus Foundation's American Book Award for Yearning (1990).
Major Works
The major theme of hooks's first two works, Ain't I a Woman and Feminist Theory (1984), is that of black women finding a place in mainstream feminism. She explores this issue by tracing the oppression under which African American women have suffered since slavery. Arguing that domination is at the root of racism, classism, and sexism, and that black women are at the bottom of the hierarchical struggle in this country, hooks asserts that mainstream feminism is interested in raising only white women up to the level of white men. According to hooks, real equality can only be gained by overturning the whole hierarchical system. In Talking Back (1988), hooks begins to infuse more of her personal life into her work. In this collection she combines her personal experience as an African American woman with theory and analysis to show that feminist perspectives can be useful to assess the position of African American women in American society. In several of her works hooks discusses how portrayals of African Americans in the media have hurt African American women. Breaking Bread (1991) is a dialogue with African American social critic Cornel West in which hooks and West discuss the crises many black communities face, and how the media has contributed to these problems. Hooks also asserts in Black Looks (1992) that the mass media has denied the existence of a critical black female subjectivity. In addition to criticizing the media's complicity in racism and sexism, hooks attacks the educational system in Teaching to Transgress (1994) for its role in perpetuating the hierarchical system in this country. She asserts that true freedom can only be obtained when our education system is free. The focus of all of hooks's work, including her most recent book, Killing Rage (1995), is to heal the divisions in American society by creating a dialogue that respects all people and leads the way to rebuilding a new society.
Critical Reception
Hooks has received varied critical response throughout her career. Many reviewers praise her for her insight and boldness. However, while most agree that her arguments are strong and challenging, many disagree with her opinions. The flaw most often noted by critics is her flouting of academic style. Many are uncomfortable with hooks's lack of footnotes and scholarly references and her reliance on self-help rhetoric and pop psychology. They also argue that she shows contempt toward black men and what they have suffered, and that she appears to be homophobic. Many of her reviewers, however, praise her for bringing a balance to feminist theory by including nonwhite, poor, and working class women into feminist discussions. Patricia Bell-Scott has observed that "we must keep in mind [hooks's] goal, to enrich feminist discourse and 'to share in the work of making a liberatory ideology,' as we struggle with the uncomfortable issues she raises."

Barbara Smith (essay date January-February 1983)
SOURCE: "Black Feminism Divorced from Black Feminist Organizing," in The Black Scholar, Vol. 14, No. 1, January-February, 1983, pp. 38-45.
[Smith is an American editor. In the following essay, she criticizes hooks's antagonism toward black men and white women as well as her apparent homophobia in Ain't I a Woman: Black Women and Feminism.]
In 1973, when I began to identify as a black feminist and to do black feminist organizing, there was barely a word in print that spoke about black women from a feminist perspective or which even admitted that sexism was a daily factor in our lives. In women's movement literature there was a stray sentence here or there. And in writings by black women and men black women were occasionally discussed without, miraculously, ever breathing a word about male privilege or women's lack of it. The best source for those of us who were dying to read something about ourselves that made sense was black women's creative writing. Hurston, Lorde, Petry, and Walker at least told the truth, perhaps theory would have to wait until we got our movement off the ground.
In 1982 there are more things to read that supposedly address the sexual politics of black women's lives, but too often the writing seems peculiarly untouched by a Third World feminist movement that is now at least ten years strong. Such disconnectedness is not surprising in books from trade and academic publishers. Unfortunately, Bell Hooks' Ain't I A Woman; Black Women and Feminism from South End Press, an alternative, left publisher, is also full of the contradictions that result when one attempts to talk about black feminism divorced from black feminist organizing.
Before going any further, I have to admit that this book has worried me nearly to death and reviewing it is no easy task. I wanted Ain't I A Woman to be good, incisive, and, most of all, useful. The fact that Hooks provides information about black women's historical oppression and asks some significant questions about sexism and racism raised my hopes. But from the very beginning I found myself questioning the conclusions she draws from the factual material she presents and being constantly surprised by her answers to the questions she poses. It soon became clear that despite its subject I was in profound disagreement with the assumptions of this book.
The book is divided into five chapters which potentially address pivotal black and feminist issues: "Sexism and the Black Female Slave Experience"; "Continued Devaluation of Black Womanhood"; "The Imperialism of Patriarchy"; "Racism and Feminism"; and "Black Women and Feminism." The first two chapters contain interesting documentation of black women's continuously inferior status in the U.S. I was mystified, however, to see that in these first chapters, as throughout the book, there are numerous quotations, but no footnote references and at times not even references to the author or book from which the quotations are taken. These omissions make Ain't I A Woman much less useful for research. Such an oversight is not merely the author's responsibility, but her publisher's, and is just one indication that this book was editorially handled in such a way that was a disservice to all.
The book's analytical difficulties are apparent in the first chapter. In order to disprove the familiar argument that slavery and racism were worse for black men than for women, simply because men are inherently more valuable beings, Hooks attempts to show not only that black women suffered more in slavery, but that black men suffered less than is commonly believed. This is tricky territory that scholars continue to debate: what was slavery actually like and what was the typical slave experience? I basically agree with Hooks that because of sexual oppression, systematized rape, forced breeding, and responsibility for domestic tasks, black women suffered in more ways than black men. What I find so upsetting is the contempt that Hooks shows for black men in the process. For example, in refuting the concept that black men suffered from a loss of masculinity in slavery, she writes:
Enslaved black men were stripped of the patriarchal status that had characterized their social situation in Africa but they were not stripped of their masculinity. Despite all popular arguments that claim black men were figuratively castrated, throughout the history of slavery in America black men were allowed to maintain some semblance of their societally defined masculine role. In colonial times as in contemporary times, masculinity denoted possessing the attributes of strength, virility, vigor, and physical prowess … That white people recognized the "masculinity" of the black male is evident by the tasks assigned the majority of black male slaves.
Of course Hooks conveniently ignores power and autonomy as essential components of masculinity and male privilege. Being an unpaid and terrorized beast of burden has never had much to do with exercising power. Hooks continues:
The sexism of colonial white male patriarchs spared black male slaves the humiliation of homosexual rape and other forms of sexual assault. While institutionalized sexism was a social system that protected black male sexuality, it [socially] legitimized sexual exploitation of black females.
If the system protected Black male sexuality so thoroughly, what in the world is the history of lynching all about? This statement is disturbing on a number of levels. One is that it's not clear what is humiliating—the rape or the homosexuality. If the word homophobia had been used instead of sexism to explain why black men were not victimized in this way, it would be obvious that the author is critical of negative attitudes toward male homosexuality and lesbianism. But as I will discuss in more detail subsequently, she is not.
It isn't necessary to prove that slavery wasn't so bad for black men in order to prove how very bad it was for black women. It is obvious, however, that Hooks' conclusions are affected by her animosity toward black men which surfaces repeatedly throughout the work. It is perfectly legitimate to criticize, even castigate, black men for their oppression of black women, but I found the author's unveiled hostility shocking.
Hooks obviously has an ax to grind with black men and to an even greater extent with white women. There's nothing inherently wrong with that, but it does not make for sound theory. Why do I constantly get the impression that Hooks sees Ain't I A Woman as an opportunity to finally put black men and white women in their place? Certainly her tone is a factor. Another is the major and minor inconsistencies of the book, the way that Hooks in building her case reshapes logic and history. According to the author even black women are culpable for perpetuating their own oppression.
At the conclusion of the first chapter Hooks states:
The fact that enslaved black women were forced to labor as "men" and to exist independently of male protection did not lead to the development of a feminist consciousness.
Her evidence for this assertion is that black women wanted the "considerations and privileges given white women" and that as soon as slavery ended many black women "refused to work in the fields." Hooks seemingly does not consider that "forced" equality under the horrors of the slave system, which she has just vividly described, might not automatically lead to higher consciousness, but merely to a desire for some relief. The ex-slave women probably did not want to be Miss Ann as much as she wanted to stop being sexual and economic chattel. Hooks also does not consider that a desire to leave the fields might have been a desire to have only one full-time job—childrearing and housework—instead of two. Ignoring these realities, she concludes the chapter:
By completely accepting the female role as defined by patriarchy, enslaved black women embraced and upheld an oppressive sexist social order and became (along with their white sisters) both accomplices in the crimes perpetrated against women and victims of these crimes.
Who are these black women who "completely accept[ed] the female role" and who are their descendants? I haven't met them. What I always find so heartening about black women, no matter how nonfeminist they might be in their pronouncements, is how seldom they unthinkingly conform to conventional feminine behavior. We've always had too much sense for that. Nevertheless, in the book's introduction Hooks states unequivocally:
Twentieth century black women had learned to accept sexism as natural, a given, a fact of life. Had surveys been taken among black women in the thirties and forties and had they been asked to name the most oppressive force in their lives, racism and not sexism would have headed the list.
To cite just one piece of evidence to the contrary which indicates that black women were indeed concerned about sexual discrimination in the 1940s, I refer readers to an article by novelist Ann Petry, published in March 1947, entitled "What's Wrong With Negro Men?" Petry's article appeared in Negro Digest, a widely distributed publication, and attacked head-on black men's bad attitudes about women, including sexual harassment on the street and unfair division of labor at home. For further evidence of black women's criticism and resistance to male dominance, as well as commentary on a host of other social problems, I refer everyone to the blues.
Hooks' interpretation of events to suit her purposes is most blatant in her discussion of the women's movement. She describes a movement I find barely recognizable. Hooks collapses the totality of feminism into its most conservative manifestations:...

A Trail Runner's Love Story
How two avid runners met, connected with and courted one another on the trails
Photo courtesy of Olga King
Editors' Note: Happy Valentine's Day, Trail Runner readers! This week, we share a story submitted to us by Olga King—originally for last June's Blog Symposium—in response to the prompt "Tell about someone awesome you met on the trails."
There are many awesome, special people whom life has allowed me to meet because I began trail running. The people who find their passion in this sport are incredible, and when you meet them, open your heart and share your pains (not just physical ones), the bond can last forever. I can list all the "famous" folks who have become wonderful friends over the last 12 years, I can list my crazy and committed running partners, but the most awesome person I have met is the one who chose to spend his life with me. And we met, quite literally, on the trails.
There is this little race, Zane Grey 50, that is my favorite of all 50s I've done. I had run it in 2006 and had an amazing time, proving to myself that I am good at exactly these kind of things—crazy tough races with terrain and elements that put many folks down. I decided to come back in 2007. There was this guy—Larry King—who read my blog, and introduced himself before the race. We shook hands, and then, at mile 3, he passed me. I passed him again at mile 25, and that was it, the history, a normal thing, a thing that happens to each of us every time we go on a trail.
We were both married at the time, and from time to time would check into each other's blogs. Something he once wrote touched me, and it felt that he was seeking support during a dark time in his life. I was in my own dark days, so I reached out and told him to hold on. Turns out, there was a reason we felt such a sudden connection. Those dark times were of the same proportion for both of us; we both happened to be ending our respective 18-year marriages.

Pumpkin seeds cost at least your first born in Japan, so buying these on iherbs was great. Lots of magnesium, great to add into daily foods, etc. They don't have any added salts or anything that would enhance the flavor of anything. So, I recommend these, and will probably order them again.

Turns out, I'm not a fan of pumpkin seeds, but they were edible. I won't give them a bad review for that.

Minot man charged in shooting incident
Start living like free men
Steven Moen, Minot
Monday, Nov. 11, is Veterans Day; all the freedoms we enjoy in this country are due in large part to the veterans. More than 1.6 million of them have paid the ultimate price to gain and to keep these freedoms.
The Revolutionary War vets bled and died for religious and economic freedoms. I wonder how they'd feel if they knew Christ and His church are under direct attack by the government and the taxes they rebelled over are miniscule compared to ones we pay today?
The Civil War vets sacrificed themselves to protect the Union and free the slaves; I wonder what they would think of all the people who willingly sell themselves into servitude to the government for government handouts?
The World War II vets fought and died to free the world from tyrannical rulers who killed 11 million to 26 million victims (depending on who's included) in the Holocaust. I wonder if the 56.7 million innocent unborn dead sacrificed on the altar of convenience in this country would bother them at all.
The veterans have done their job to defend the Constitution against all enemies foreign and domestic over the years but we the people have been sorely lacking in our zeal and energy to do the same. British statesman Edmund Burke said all that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing. For too long we have done nothing and have by our apathy allowed our freedoms to be taken away from us one freedom at a time. If the veterans who have died in all the wars prior to 1970 wouldn't even recognize this country if they could come back and walk the streets they grew up on.
Samuel Adams said it best. "If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude than the animating contest of freedom-go from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands, which feed you. May your chains sit lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen!"
Let us honor our vets by not continuing to lick the government's hands but stand up and throw off their shackles and start to live like free men.

Dear Melanie,
Our school has a filter which blocks the Immune Attack download site. Could you perhaps send the game an email attachment?
aka, teacher at a K-12 school anywhere in the US
Dear Karl,
Yes, I am familiar with that arch enemy of educational software progrIt does fit on a CD. You may download it at home, burn it to a CD, then copy that CD as many times as you like, and then insert the CD into any computer you would like to install the game on. You have to install the program. This may lead to another common and equally huge problem: permission. There is currently a debate between whether holding your breath or kicking and screaming works better. Please let us know what works for you.
I hope humor gets you though this moment of frustration! I can make a CD for you if you would like, and mail it to you. No problem, just send me your best snail mail address.
Here is a big Happy Note! Immune Attack 2.0 is now funded by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases. We will take advantage of brand new technology: IA2.0 will be programmed in the Unity Engine, and it will be Mac, PC and BROWSER playable! Yiiihaw! No downloading and no installation! However, installing onto PC or MAC will be supported, so that an internet connection will not be necessary to play IA2.0.
IA2.0 won't be ready until next school year. In the meantime, here is some more joy to tide you over:
is a fantastic looking new 3D game that is also about a microbot! This bot is inside a plant cell in which photosynthesis is failing! This game is also funded by the National Institutes of Health, also uses real proteins structures and other actual data and also turns real science facts into a real cool adventure. Level one will be released and week now…..
is a program that you can install on your PC that will let you easily find and download and install many learning games. Instead of searching for 100 different games on your computer, you just open to the mygameIQ, and click play on which ever of your games you wish to play. The best part is that we here at FAS Learning Tech get a report on how many people played IA through mygameIQ, how many times they played. So we can find out how popular the game is, which helps us design the sequel! It is also vital to get renewed funding.
PS: mygameIQ is PC only. Please let them know if you want a MAC version!
LearningTech Blog
I maintain a list of the excellent learning games that I know about. So keep up today on my blog. You can also sign up there for my monthly
Learning Technologies Newsletter.
Please let me know if I can help you out in anyway. I support the use of Immune Attack as a model for students who are designing their own games, for the study of the intersection of art and science, and to drive up interest and knowledge of molecular science in the general adult public.
Sincerely yours,

Carfun Footprint
June 8, 2010
In 2008, one in four people considering the MINI were also cross-shopping the Prius. Cultural values were clearly moving toward being more environmentally responsible, and the fun of driving was getting lost in the shuffle. The Carfun Footprint campaign proved that you don't have to sacrifice fun in order to be green.

The length of time for the expiration date or "best used before" date depends on the type of product, as well as the brand.
Perishable items (such as flax oils or certain probiotics) generally have shorter expiration dates. Although our warehouse is fully air-conditioned, these more fragile items are put in cold storage (freezer or refrigeration unit) for maximum freshness.
Our receiving department does its best to verify and then enter the correct expiration dates for all incoming products. However, discrepancies do occur from time to time. This being said, the exceptionally high turnover at iHerb ensures that our inventory is among the freshest in the industry.

Very tasty. I ate them in 2 days, just couldn't stop myself :) They are not too big- the thing I usually dislike in most waffles- the size is perfect. Simply loved them.
Can't believe these are actually GLUTEN FREE!
Posted by Reviewer2292556 on Dec 29, 2014
These Glutino Milk Chocolate Coated Wafer Cookies are absolutely delicious! In fact... they are so good that it is sometimes difficult to believe they are actually GLUTEN FREE!! Since I started on a diet that is free from wheat and gluten, I was craving some type of treat that didn't taste like cardboard. And then, I found these chocolate covered wafers and I was in heaven! They are really tasty and the vanilla flavor is delicious! But there is a downside. If you do not get a few boxes of these fantastic wafers and your family and / or friends try them... there will not be enough for you! Because after they try them... the wafers will be gone. Its so easy to eat several wafers at one siting because they are so good. I love them with a cup of tea. So be sure to get enough for yourself and others to try!

Addictive little things!
Posted by Reviewer2238935 on Aug 21, 2013
These gluten-free wafers are so yummy, it's hard to stop eating them once you start (I like the vanilla filled ones better than the chocolate filled.) They're not "health food" but when you're eating GF and want a sweet treat these are great to have on the shelf, or to take with to an event or party where you know there will be no dessert you can eat. The milk chocolate coating is really good but a dark chocolate option would be nice too--it would help counter the super-sweetness of the wafer. No complaints though! Just hope they keep the price down.
tasty but too sweet
Posted by netalee on May 03, 2012
I like the chocolate one much more
A favorite.....

Staff members in Einstein's office of business development led by Richard Kosman work with faculty members to further enhance the value of their research and clinical endeavors. Among the objectives of Mr. Kosman and his team is to establish collaborations with commercial, governmental, financial and entrepreneurial partners to transform advances in basic science made at Einstein to clinical applications that can benefit the public.
Known as technology transfer, such efforts seek to transfer scientific findings from one organization to another for the purpose of further development and commercialization. "The primary goal is to create products generated from knowledge attained in universities that can change people's lives—providing services for the benefit of the community, whether local, national, or global," explained Mr. Kosman.
In line with his work at the College of Medicine, over the past 18 months, Mr. Kosman, who is director of Einstein's office of business development, has had the unique opportunity to share his extensive expertise in technology transfer with academics and authorities at the Universidad Austral de Chile (UACh) in Valdivia, Chile, a top-five Chilean university, and at the Universidad de Talca (UTalca) in Talca, Chile, one of 25 institutions of higher education that make up the Council of Presidents of Chilean Universities (CRUCH). Mr. Kosman's work with these Chilean institutions was part of a joint institutional initiative between the Association of University Technology Managers (AUTM), the leading professional organization for technology transfer with a global membership of more than 3,000, and INNOVA Chile of CORFO (Corporación de Fomento de la Producción), Chile's economic development agency.
In his role as one of just seven experts/consultants, selected from AUTM's global membership, Mr. Kosman conducted three on-site, multi-day visits with the senior leadership at both UACh and UTalca. These visits, which took place in August and November of 2012, and again in April of 2013, provided Mr. Kosman with direct exposure and knowledge about each university's capabilities and achievements. He then worked with university leadership to devise three main objectives/deliverables: benchmarking Chile's efforts within the nation and with other nations; strategic planning; and operational planning.
During his November 2012 visit, Mr. Kosman also was invited to participate in the national CORFO summit held in Santiago, Chile, where he was one of several workshop presenters. He discussed "Investing in the Development of University Technologies," highlighting Einstein's Technology Development Program.
Dr. Victor Cubillos, rector of UACh, stated that "Technology transfer, in which research advances made at the university can ultimately directly benefit the local community, the nation, and the world, is critical to our university. Mr. Kosman's work at UACh established the foundation for and helped catalyze the establishment of our new technology transfer office. It was and is a privilege to work with him and to be able to count on his support. There is no doubt that his vast experience and willingness to share that experience will permit our promising technology transfer operation to rapidly progress in its service to its many important constituencies. We look forward to many more mutually rewarding institutional collaborations with Mr. Kosman."
In reflecting on the energy, optimism and sense of opportunity he observed in Chile, Mr. Kosman noted, "I'm grateful to my colleagues at UACh and UTalca for taking the time to meet and work with me, for their passion, commitment and dedication, and for the warmth and kindness with which they received me into their communities. I look forward to further interaction and collaboration."
