Carina Dudas
Student Spotlight: UTSA Honors College graduate Carina Dudas will attend med school in homeland Romania, then return to United States
By Lynn Gosnell
Special Projects Writer
(June 2, 2009)--In the May 2009 commencement program, the superlative academic achievements of Carina Dudas were mentioned on two different pages.
In the UTSA College of Sciences, the biology major graduated summa cum laude, signifying the pinnacle of Latin honors. As a member of the Honors College, Dudas graduated with highest honors, an achievement denoted by her completion of an undergraduate honors thesis.
Today's headlines
- La Prensa Foundation is newest member of UTSA Lone Star Society
- UTSA alumna Jordan Kaufmann wins $50K for new stent-graft start-up
- UTSA begins new way-finding sign installation this summer at Main Campus
- USA Today: UTSA long jumper Tyler Williamson rescues three-year-old boy

And, a few weeks before graduation, Dudas was named "Most Outstanding Student in the College of Sciences" at the annual University Life Awards.
Yet, these superlatives hint at only a small part of Dudas' identity, which has been shaped by her immigrant history, her faith and her experiences as a UTSA pre-med student.
"When I was seven, my family and I were miraculously given visas to come to the United States from Romania," wrote Dudas in her personal statement for her medical school application. Her family first landed in Sacramento. What followed for the elementary school student were struggles to learn English and an immigrant's determination to excel in school.
In 2004, the Dudas family relocated from Sacramento, Calif., to Boerne, where Dudas finished high school. At UTSA, she enrolled in the Honors College and began pursuing her degree in biology with a minor in psychology. (Dudas now has a brother attending UTSA as well.)
She credits Thomas Forsthuber, professor of immunology in the biology department, for some of the best pre-professional classes she has had at UTSA.
"In the advanced clinical medicine class, we had case studies of patients. We had to try and figure out what disease they had, and then present our study to the class. It's how real medical school is, and I loved it," she said.
Dudas's pre-professional experience also included shadowing two different medical practitioners: a pediatric orthopedic surgeon and a pediatric anesthesiologist. Both experiences were formative, and cemented her determination to work with children in her own future medical practice.
For her honor's thesis, Dudas worked with Clyde Phelix, associate professor of anatomy and neurobiology, on research that mapped genes in the hippocampus of a mouse. "We were looking for links to the mechanism of Alzheimer's in humans," she said.
Outside of school, Dudas has maintained cultural and linguistic ties to her home country by being an active member of the local Romanian Baptist Church. She also has volunteered on medical mission trips to Romania, and next month she will move back to Romania to attend medical school.
And, she has yet another milestone coming up. On June 13, Dudas will celebrate with family and friends her marriage to Beniamin Petricau in Romania. The young couple will make their home in Oradea, a small historic city located near the Hungarian border.
"After medical school, I hope to return to the U.S. to complete a residency in pediatric cardiology," Dudas said.

If the distance and difficulty of Colorado's many organized bicycling events is any indication, a flat, 100-mile bicycle ride is not, for many riders, quite tough enough.
That's one reason the 11th annual Buffalo Bicycle Classic's longest route will go farther and climb higher than any of the event's courses so far. The "Buff Epic" will span 110 miles and ascend a total of 6,250 feet. It retraces much of the most mountainous section of Stage 6 of the 2012 USA Pro Cycling Challenge.
The Elevations Credit Union Buffalo Bicycle Classic is scheduled for Sept. 8 and is expected to draw more than 2,000 participants. The event raises scholarship funds for high-performing University of Colorado Boulder students who qualify for financial aid.
The epic century ride will start on campus, ascend Boulder Canyon to Nederland, follow the Peak to Peak Highway past Ward, descend St. Vrain Canyon to Lyons, head north to Carter Lake and turn south to return to Boulder.
During the Buff Epic, Boulder Canyon's westbound lane will be closed to traffic from 7 a.m. to approximately 9:30 a.m. Male and female riders in five age groups will compete for polka-dotted jerseys, signifying their climbing prowess. They will be judged by their times on the ascent of a 13.5-mile section from the base of Boulder Canyon to Barker Reservoir.
Times will be measured by individual riders' GPS devices and recorded on Strava.com. While there is the canyon competition, ride organizers emphasize that the Buffalo Bicycle Classic is not a race but a ride for those of all strength and ability levels.
The 2013 Buffalo Bicycle Classic includes its traditional courses that cater to all cycling abilities: These courses include the 70-mile, 50-mile, 35-mile and 14-mile Little Buff family-friendly community ride.
"The Buffalo Bicycle Classic accommodates riders of every ability," said Todd Gleeson, former dean of the CU-Boulder College of Arts and Sciences and one of the ride's founders. Gleeson, a professor of integrative physiology, directs CU-Boulder's new Health Professions Residential Academic Program.
"The Buffalo Bicycle Classic combines two things close to our hearts: access to higher education and the love of bicycling," Gleeson said. "An event that combines both improves town-gown relations, heightens riders' physical fitness and, most importantly, lowers one barrier to higher education."
Since 2003, the Buffalo Bicycle Classic has raised more than $1.8 million for scholarships and funded about 800 scholarships.
Chris Kerns, who graduated cum laude in anthropology from CU-Boulder in 2005, is one of those scholarship recipients. He is now finishing a Ph.D. in archaeology at the University of Southampton, England, and figures he's one of a relative few scholarship recipients who have completed a Buff Bike Classic century ride.
"Any opportunity to support deserving students in their academic endeavors is absolutely worth it. Great young minds can achieve amazing things as long as they get the support necessary to further their goals," Kerns said. "The scholarship from the Buffalo Bicycle Classic is one way in which to support and inspire students to succeed and accomplish amazing things."
Scholarship recipients are selected based on grade-point average and financial need. They cannot apply for the scholarship and don't know they are being considered until they learn they have won. All net proceeds go toward scholarships, and a portion of the registration fee is tax-deductible.

The genie may still be in the bottle, but the lid is about to be blown off the NFL.
Barrett Green became the first former player to file a lawsuit and use the term "bounty" in his case.
It was only a matter of time before this happened. While the Saints may not be named in this first suit, clearly they have their hand in the cookie jar.
That is why commissioner Roger Goodell punished the Saints so hard after the franchise refused to stop a pay-for-pain program despite numerous warnings.
Goodell feared the day when some former player limped into a court room and blamed the NFL, a team and individuals for allowing such a system to take place.
Green became that player and some day was Monday.
A former linebacker for both the New York Giants and Detroit Lions, Green claims the knee injury that ended his career in 2004 came as a result of a bounty program.
The suit calls the hit that knocked Green out as "unusual, outrageous, and an obvious cheap shot."
Now he wants to be compensated for his pain.
Football is a rough sport, but now former players are finding ways to show that he doesn't have to be that dangerous. Or at least they are trying to find the guys who make it more dangerous than it should be.
It was easy for Saints fans to get upset with Goodell and blame him for all their woes. Makes sense. He was judge, jury and executioner when it came to handing down the punishment.
Head coach Sean Payton was forced to sit out the season. Coaches were suspended, players as well.
While some won their appeals, it didn't matter. The damage was already done to the Saints and last season proved to be a lost one.
Thanks to Goodell, the club went from title contender to missing the playoffs.
All this while saying he was taking the action for the good of player safety.
Forget that. This was about money, nothing more and nothing less.
It was Goodell and the rest of the NFL trying to hold on to their cash cow for as long as they can.
Bounty talk and paying for big hits has always been pro football's dirty little secret. The Saints brought it out in the open.
But don't for a minute think Goodell wasn't worried about this first bounty lawsuit and what it might mean.
If it was really all about player safety there is no way anyone in the league would be talking about playing an extra two regular seaon games. Not at the price that is being paid every week by players and their bodies.
Yet the league would like to expand the schedule.
No, Goodell was always worried about facing players in court who claim the league did not do enough to protect them from themselves.
The NFL is already in that kind of fight when it comes to ex-players believing they were forced to play games despite their conditions. Those cases are starting to get to the interesting point and now this.
Green points the finger at the Washington Redskins, claiming the team had a well-known bounty program going at the time of his injury.
An assistant coach on that team was none other than Gregg Williams, the man front and center of the storm in New Orleans.
We all witnessed what happened in that fallout. Williams was sent packing, Payton was suspended for a year, players lost games and the team lost a season.
By the time all the stuff had finally hit the fan, the biggest losers were those who root for the Saints. They lost an entire season and a championship contender was left in the middle of the pack.
That is still nothing compared to what might happen to the game by the time all the lawyers get through.
Already fighting more than a few battles over injuries and the treatment of ex-players, the last thing the league wanted to do was to fight on another front when it comes to injuries.
Green's lawsuit won't likely be the last when it comes to bounty talk.
The Saints are clearly on the clock.

No, not generally. I just had a problem when I wanted to read your post. I could log in and I would get the correct forum list, but could not get into any of the threads. After trying the 4th or 5th time it worked as usual, and I left you the note.
Don't know what was wrong. Had problems loading e-mails earlier too though. Maybe they are working on our line or whatever...

Re: Nora's Kitchen
Hi ladies how have you all been
Susanne, did you end up going out? And what about your hair .. did you get something fresh done?
Well I am still alive, 3 weeks left of work and then 3 weeks at home before my due date. Work has been awful really, far too much work and stress when you are 7 months pregnant. Part of me is looking forward to sometime off but then I am worried about the problems the 2 new people will have while I am not there to back them up. But thankfully the baby and my body are handling it quite well. My feet and ankles have only just started to swell over the last couple of weeks. We see the doctor once a week now for check ups and he seems happy overall with everything. My OH & I have 1 more antenatal class to attend this Tuesday night and I have been to a breastfeeding class as well. All very interesting and also a bit scary.

Re: Nora's Kitchen
Hi Michelle
I did not end up going out yesterday - unless you count that we went for Chinese takeaway...
Went to the hairdresser this morning. My hair fell well over my sholders yesterday, but all the same length. Now the longer ones end on my shoulders and they are layered through completely. I chickened out and did not cut them short, but never had them in any way similar to now, so am quite happy for the change.
Here in Germany you MUST stop (employed) work 6 weeks before the due date, and may not start until 6 weeks after the birth. It's to protect young mothers.
Glad that your pregnancy is going well and really hope for the birth to be not too hard and both of you are healthy.
Don't work yourself too much
#20 Sat 20 Sep 08 2:55pm
Re: Nora's Kitchen
Hi Susanne and Michelle!
Susanne, Here in the US we can work right up to the birth of the baby. I like Germany's way better. I bet your hair is great!! My hair is getting to where it has body on one side but not the other!! That's what happens when you start getting old!!
Michelle, I miss you! I started swelling at about the same time. The last 6 weeks will still be an adventure for you. It is completely different. Enjoy it! (I am virtually rubbing your feet now.)

The 2010 Best Music Poll nominees announcement is fast approaching, but we do know all of the '09 victors will return to defend their titles, including jazz/funk reigning champs Funkatronic, who are looking for a three-peat. Paul Caraher (guitar/occasional vocals) and brother Justin (drums) were born and raised in the music mecca of Nashville, but their affinity for jazz, funk, and the jam band scene eventually lured the aspiring duo north. In 2001, they relocated to Providence, which they considered a central locale to set up shop and kick out the jams.
"We wanted to be closer to the jazz scenes in Boston and Manhattan, as well as the Northeast jam band scene, which has a significant presence in Vermont and upstate New York," Paul told me earlier this week while chatting up Funkatronic's upcoming show at Jerky's, an opening slot for drummer extraordinaire Yonrico Scott of the Derek Trucks Band.
"We really wanted to get out there and play shows, and the Northeast corridor just seemed like an ideal region to work, with so many big cities in such close driving distance." (Close driving distance? With that outlook the Carahers were clearly raised elsewhere.)
Paul cites Miles Davis, Charles Mingus, and Chick Corea as vital early influences, along with the jazz-laced jams of Lettuce and Medeski Martin & Wood. But Herbie Hancock provided the blueprint for Caraher's aural game plan.
"Herbie Hancock is the bridge that led us from jazz to funk via records like Head Hunters and Man-Child," he said.
Shortly after relocating to Rhode Island, Paul and Justin released Caraher, an acoustic album of covers and original compositions (available at CDBaby.com). The duo competently interpreted John Coltrane and saxist Joe Henderson, along with a nimbly accurate rendition of "Mediterranean Sundance" by acclaimed fusion and Latin jazz guitarist Al Di Meola. Following the album's release, the brothers scored their first local gig, a major slot at the 2002 Capitol Arts Jazz Festival.
"Our first album is an interesting point of reference as to how our approach to music has changed and evolved," Paul offered. "[At] the Capitol Arts Fest, we played basic jazz standards on two acoustic guitars, but we have since focused more on funk and Latin rhythms, with the addition of drums and bass into the mix."
The Carahers linked up with local musician/producer Brendon "Low B" Bjorness-Murano (of notable jam bands Funk Nugget and the Law) in 2003 while he was working at Guitar Center in Warwick. He eventually became a quasi-third member of Funkatronic, playing more than 30 shows with the brothers. (Bjorness-Murano reports that the Carahers will back him on a few tracks on his forthcoming solo album, Low B. and the Daily Blotter.) Funkatronic released its debut disc, Up from the Underground, in 2006 (available at iTunes and MySpace.com/Funkatronics).
The Carahers will be soon be gigging in New Hamapshire, Connecticut, and Albany, in addition to their local dates, and may take up Yonrico Scott's open invite to jam with his crew in his hometown of Atlanta. You can also catch Paul performing weekly at Powers Pub, a piano bar in Pawtuxet Village, satiating the after-work crowd with covers ranging from the Beatles to Marvin Gaye.
But Paul guarantees a full set of originals at the big Jerky's show, for which the duo has recruited veteran Newport bass player John Sippell. The set will include new numbers "F to A" and "Porno Funk," and a "big two drummer jam session with Funkatronic and the Yonrico Scott Band.

The U.S. Chemical Safety Board (CSB) investigated two explosions in the past year in an industrial plant in North Carolina and a nearly completed power plant in Connecticut. In both cases, the venting of natural gas through the piping system and into the atmosphere led to ignition and subsequent fatalities. The CSB issued urgent safety recommendations to NFPA and other parties.
Subsequently, the National Fuel Gas Code Committee issued a Tentative Interim Amendment (TIA 54-09-3) that addresses the purging of air and fuel gas from gas piping systems. However, the process of using natural gas to clean the piping system, which led to the explosion at the power plant, does not fall within the scope of the National Fuel Gas Code because fuel gas piping in electric utility power plants is not
within the scope of the code (Section 18.104.22.168 [10]).
Therefore, the NFPA Standards Council proposed two options for consideration. The first option is to revise the scope of the National Fuel Gas Code Technical Committee to permit it to address power plant piping systems, which would then permit the consideration of revisions to the code to address pipe cleaning operations using fuel gas. In addressing this option, the Standards Council must decide whether the National Fuel Gas Code is the most appropriate location to address these types of operations; whether the members of the committee have the necessary expertise to do so; and, whether the committee members themselves believe that it should undertake that
The second option being considered is to have the Standards Council appoint a separate technical committee that would develop a standard dedicated to addressing the safe practices associated with an array of gas process activities, including the "cleaning of gas piping, enriching the concentration within gas piping during commissioning (charging the line), and discharge of gas already in the system during gas purging or maintenance."
The Standards Council voted to publish a notice seeking input from the National Fuel Gas Code Committee and the general public by September 17 on how to proceed. The input received will be reviewed by the Council at its October 2010 meeting. To provide input, please go to www.nfpa.org and look under "Codes and Standards."

- Abdominal bloating
- Gas
- Lower abdominal pain
What causes abdominal bloating, gas and lower abdominal pain? 8 possible conditions
See a list of possible causes in order from the most common to the least.

Assuming a price of $7.50 in 1975 adjusting for inflation a queen should have gone for $32.49 in 2013 in US$. Can anybody verify the cost of queens in 1975? I have heard anecdotal reports of $6-$8 bucks per queen.
This seems counter intuitive to me. How could Varroa, CCD, and a tighter bee supply contribute to relatively cheaper queens? I feel an economics lesson coming on. Note the demand curve for queens should be relatively inelastic. There are no substitutes for queens. This means demand should not fluctuate very much with price increase. Efficiency in production could be a possible factor. Are we really that much better at making queens now than in the 70's or is actually more difficult now? Are there more or fewer suppliers now?
Was debating putting this in the general bee forum. Beekeepers often under value their pollination services (see some of Burgett's studies); have we made the same mistake with queens??

2 cougar cubs killed; Prineville neighbors on alert
Sheriff defends killing of pair due to safety risk
PRINEVILLE, Ore. - Not one, but two cougar cubs -- apparently malnourished and hunting for food -- were roaming a southeast Prineville neighborhood on Sunday.
Because of the danger in a residential neighborhood, authorities decided they had to shoot and kill them.
Crook County sheriff's deputies asked the kids playing outdoors in the Crystal Springs neighborhood to go inside their homes, and that's when several neighbors learned about the cougars in their neighborhood.
They said they 6- to 8-month old cats were 400 yards away from children playing at a playground.
"I love (the neighborhood), because we have a beautiful view," said resident Tara Smith. "Yeah, we get all the deer, we get everything that comes down here, wouldn't trade it for anything."
Smith has lived in the neighborhood for six years and has never seen a cougar in her backyard -- but that changed on Sunday afternoon.
"I think all of Central Oregon knows that it's cougar country," Smith said. "You just never think it would be really your backyard."
The male and female cougars were up against a building in one of the neighbor's backyards.
Deputies said they shot them after attempting various methods to move them out of the residential area.
"I don't want us to be the first county that has had someone who is attacked by a cougar," Sheriff Jim Hensley said.
Hensley, who was on scene, said one of the cougars looked at the deputies constantly, and it appeared wasn't afraid of anything.
"I far rather take the heat over that than I would have a child injured, not worth the gamble," Hensley said.
Not taking any chances, Smith kept her kids inside.
"We've had our little lectures," Smith said. "And of course, mine are in our house. But it's spring break, everybody wants to be outside. But the fear is definitely in the parents' minds."
"There were some concerns (from residents) that 'no one came to our door and warned us there', Henlsey said. "The bottom line is, the cats were under observation and we had them covered the whole time."
Smith says she's glad the sheriff's deputies did what they had to do.
"My children are safe -- the rest of the neighborhood children are safe," Smith said. "So I'm quite happy with that."
Parents in the area told NewsChannel 21 that they are still on alert Monday because these were cubs, meaning there is likely a mother out there running out and about.
That's why officials warned parents in the area it's important to watch your kids and keep pets inside.
Deputies were called out just after 3 p.m.Sunday on a reported cougar sighting in the area of SE Slayton Court and Stearns Road in the Crystal Springs subdivision, said Deputy Mitch Madden.
The caller told 911 he had seen a cougar in his backyard, Madden said. Authorities found two cougars in the backyard of another home, north of the one they were called to, he said.
Prineville police, Oregon State Police and Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife officials also were called to the scene, a heavily populated residential area, Madden said. While they were there, children were heard outside, playing in the area.
"It was then determined that the cougars posed a severe public safety hazard," Madden said in a news release. "Therefore, the cougars were put down."
An ODFW biologist later determined the cougars "were malnourished and possibly in the area searching for a food source," possibly cats or kittens, said ODFW wildlife biologist Jason Journey.
"Even though cougars are majestic animals, they are very dangerous to humans, especially children," Madden said. "If you spot a cougar in a populated residential area, keep yourself, children and pets indoors and contact law enforcement immediately."
Resident Dan Smith told NewsChannel 21 children out playing in the subdivision were told to go inside.
Smith and fellow neighbor Clarissa Leary said they understood a mother and two cubs were living at the end of the subdivision, above the mailbox station. Leary said the mother cougar and possibly another cub were still nearby.
But Madden said, "The two were the only ones present and the mother was not witnessed."
An automated emergency phone system notification was requested, to alert area residents of the cougar sighting, Madden said, adding that only one call was received in regards to the cougar.

Charming apartment very well arranged, very well located. We were able to visit on foot from the apartment, we had a very good stay
Logement charmant très bien agencé, très bien situé. Nous avons pu visiter à pied à partir de l'appartement , nous avons passé un très bon séjour
Apartment very well located in the center of Madrid, next to the subway and walking quickly reaching everywhere. Very clean and most perfect for a short stay !!
The Amfitrion dusas and solves all problems encountered throughout our stay.
On the downside, the neighborhood dumpsters at 4am making lots of noise, we have awakened every night, and being close to nice bars, people singing and shouting throughout the night. Not much space to sit and eat, but it was not our intention. Highly recommended for short stay QUALITY-PRICE
Apartamento muy bien situado en el centro de Madrid, al lado del metro y andando llegando enseguida en todos los sitios. Muy limpio y para una corta estancia perfectisimo!!
El amfitrion resuelve todas las dusas y problemas surgidos a lo largo de nuestra estancia.
Por parte negativa, los basureros del barrio a las 4 de la mañana haciendo mucho ruido, nos han despertado cada noche, y al estar cerca de zona de bares, gente cantando y chillando a lo largo de la noche. No tiene mucho espacio para sentarse a comer, pero tampoco era nuestra intencion. Muy recomendable para corta estancia CALIDAD-PRECIO
Very very good apartment in the heart of beautiful Madrid. Very close to metro stations and Gran Via, making it easy to go everywhere fast.
The renters were very nice and the apartment nice and clean.
Only problem was, that there were some trouble with the water heater, which meant cold showers all weekend.
But I would definitely come back! Thanks for a nice stay.
Just a perfect host. The apartment was clean, tidy and nothing was missing. We had a great stay in Madrid. Thank Renan!

BWW Interviews: Eliminated Bachelorette Sarah Dishes on THE BACHELOR
26-year-old Sarah Herron's run on this season's The Bachelor came to a close this week in beautiful Alberta, Canada when Sean, out of compassion, said his goodbye even before the rose ceremony. Feeling it was for the best, Sean attempted to let Sarah down easily. Now with her journey cut short, how does the advertising executive from Los Angeles, CA feel about Sean and the women who are left battling to win his heart?
Herron recently spoke about her experience on the ABC dating competition!
Are you feeling at all now that it was not the right decision to do the show?
Oh, absolutely not. I have never ever regretted one moment of participating on The Bachelor. It was really and truly this life changing journey, and there's no better way to put it. And for me, it was every bit of a life changing experience. And it was very cathartic and self actualizing. And I learned so much about myself and what I'm looking for. And it - you know, (it's helped me) understand me better. And so, in no way do I regret any of the process. I think it all has helped me become who I am today. And you know, that's - it's just part of the learning curve of life. And I don't regret any second of participating on the show.
Did you have a feeling that you would be going home this week or did you feel completely blindsided at the moment?
I definitely did not expect to be going home. I felt - I was very surprised and very caught off guard. And I did have every intention of wanting to bring Sean home and take him to Colorado and introduce him to my family. However, the week before in Montana, Sean you know, made his speech and said that he'd felt his relationship had taken a step back with a few Girls and a step forward with a few other girls.
And there was a part of me, deep down, that was concerned I was - I might have been one of those Girls that he was talking about. Because we were now you know, five weeks into the process or so, and it becomes difficult to continue to develop these relationships while he's developing relationships with the other girls.
So, I definitely was a little uneasy when he said he felt his relationships had taken a step back. And that's why, in Canada, I felt it - extremely important to reassure him why I was there and that I had the right intentions and that my heart was in it and I wanted to take it to the next step.
In your final words you said you were very embarrassed. Was that the only reason you were so upset or was there more to it than that? Had you actually fallen in love with Sean at that point?
I had very strong feelings for Sean. And I think it's just - it's human Nature to feel embarrassed when you're - you know, dumped on television and you cry, and you let yourself be as vulnerable as I let myself be. You know, I don't think I've ever let America - or let alone my coworkers and friends see me as vulnerable as I was on the show. And so, you just feel a little embarrassed that you put it all Out There and somebody didn't want to Take It All in. And so, it was just - it was hard. And yes, it's just - it was a little embarrassing.
Sean thought he was doing you a favor by sending you home two days early. But at the same time, he kind of singled you out. Do you agree with Sean's theory that it was best for you, or looking back on things, do you wish he had allowed you to go through the rose ceremony?
Absolutely not. I think Sean handled it the best way. He and I actually did have a conversation. And I said you know, if I'm one of these Girls that you ever feel our relationship is taking a step back, I want to talk about it, and I want to know about it. And I think we can communicate about what's going on. And please just - I don't want to be the last girl standing at a rose ceremony without a rose, without an explanation, just you know, completely shocked.
So, he knew that I was asking for an explanation. And I think that's what he gave me. And he said here's a girl who doesn't want to be you know, strung along, and she wants to be told how it is. And he respected that. And I think it's great. And I - even though I'm not happy with the way things turned out, I respect the way he handled it. And he - I don't think he could have done it any better.
As far as Tierra's medical emergency on the last episode, did you believe she was suffering from hypothermia?
I think - we were all very, very cold. And knowing Tierra the way I know her now, I think she's just a very highly sensitive person. And she was under a lot of stress and a lot of pressure. And I think the circumstances of the group date, combined with everything that she's probably going through emotionally and psychologically, it just kind of all combusted.
And whether she overreacted or actually had hypothermia, I'm not sure. And quite frankly, at this point, I don't even really care anymore, because it just seems like every week, something - it was something else. Whereas, you know, the rest of us had no problem just embracing the cold and absorbing the adrenalin you were getting from it. It seemed - it just seemed overdramatic when she got sick.
Obviously, you'll never really know what was going through Sean's mind, but it was such a surprise to see that he sent Selma home this week. Do you think that had to do with the fact that she decided not to take part in the polar bear plunge?
Yes. I have no idea what Sean's real reasonings were for sending Selma home. I think there's probably more to it than I know or any of the other Girls understand or America. And definitely, maybe not participating in the polar bear plunge contributed to it, because I thing Sean really wants a girl that can you know, go with the flow and is down for some adventure. And Selma wasn't really having it.
But at the same time, like, I can't blame her. And I don't think Sean blames her, (that's just not) who she is. And she was not - she wasn't sorry about it. And she stuck to her guns. And you have to respect that. And you know I - for whatever reason they didn't work out. I'm not sure, but I'm sure there's plenty of (good reason).
Who do you feel is best for Sean to end up with?
Oh, you know, watching back, I'm really starting to see the chemistry build between Sean and Catherine, which I didn't (see a whole) lot of while I was you know, in the filming process. And watching it back, I'm seeing like this really special connection between the two of them that's undeniable. And I think - I think it's great. What I'm seeing between Sean and Catherine looks pretty great.
And as far as him lasting with whoever he chooses, I think it - he will, because Sean said you know, he only wants to be engaged once. And he's not in it to mess around. He's really looking for his wife. So, I think Sean is the type of guy who's going to be very selective in who he chooses and then he's going to nurture and make sure that the relationship can withstand anything. I think, you know, he'll make it work.
Do you think Sean might be able to find lasting love with Tierra?
I don't see Tierra and Sean being much of a match at all. I think - I think he's probably very surprised, watching it back now, because I don't think he saw much of what we saw Tierra as in the house. You know, he wasn't - he wasn't seeing that. He made that clear in Tuesday's episode that he was starting to realize - he was getting a different Tierra than the Girls in the house were. So, I don't - I don't personally feel a lasting connection between the two of them.
A lot of what we saw of you on the show revolved around your arm. And it seemed like your self consciousness about it came up pretty frequently, particularly with the various physical activities. Is that something that actually affects your confidence on a daily basis or is it something that you're more or less at peace with and it was more for TV?
That's a good question. Definitely, having one arm has always, always affected my self confidence. And it's definitely given me insecurities. But I have come (to peace) with it. And I know how to be myself and you know, not let it be an obstacle in my life.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|i have 2 beams works on my tank, i feel pretty much the same about it as you! they are super cheap though hahah
Quick update. The LED's are doing there job, not much more. I am trying to mess with this point and shoot that is like 4 years old, have not really figured out good settings. I wish my light was this color, it's very blue in reality. Anyway, update.
So I bought this for another light but wanted to mess with it on a tank with not so much light and tried it on this tank:
It's actually pretty fun to mess with though most colors are way off of what I would like on this tank.
I was surprised at a few things.
First surprise. On the all white setting, it the Sylvania Mosaic setup looks a lot more blue than the BeamsWork fixture. However, it's color rendering of red is incredibly better.
My second surprise is even though the BeamsWork fixture in all my research leads me to believe it is only good for viewing, not for plants, my plants are doing as good or better than they were. Though colors do not appear vibrant using this light, experimenting between the BeamsWork, my old CFL setup, and this new Sylvania Mosaic, reds are deeper than they were. No plant seems to have suffered. I know it's a short tank but I really thought this fixture would be no good. I guess it was a pretty good bang for the buck after all.
Don't get me wrong, I am still on the fence with it and likely wouldn't buy this version again but with some neutral white LED's, it probably would be a great little nano fixture. I know they are getting more into the planted realm and would have waited if I didn't impulse buy this. I know it's a $40 fixture but for me it is having some serious pro's and con's so it's hard for me to decide.
I am still playing around with the Sylvania Mosaic on this tank. I would have thought adding a bit of red would help but it kind of looks odd. Even with one strip on the low setting, it's just too red. White looks just a bit brighter. I have a ton of the LED strips but one controller so I can't easily do yellow (not that it looks great either). If I find a cool setting, I will try to hardware a strip in one color or try to use extra as a moon light.
|So I still don't love the new light but it seems better. I don't think LED's "burn in" and change to there color over time but I am less hateful of the colors. I know hate is a strong word but I hated this when I got it, now I am some what OK. The reds still don't look good but better to my eye, not sure if it actually looks better or I just got used to it. Can't gauge growth after 1 day, especially post trim so I will give my review then. I know enough about this tank to know if the light will work out or not.
Minor trim, will likely trim down everything after wedding (1 week):

I'm working nights on my tanks too, trying to get yours ready.
I really shouldn't complain as it was a cheap light, I didn't do my research, and I get zero spotlight effect. It's not super pleasant to view from the top but that is the only downside that I kind of knew about, given my lack of other research.
I also really shouldn't complain, even more so, as my friend you will meet soon, put it on his card. He is a reef guy but took me out for a mini bachelor party, we stopped at two aquarium shops instead of strip clubs haha.
Going with that, at least it gave me the budget to get my AS and an inline heater. The AS is for the new one, not sure I will even do a heater in it but I can use an in tank as I am not doing natural at the moment. That may all change, I can't decide if I want to swap out the 20L for the new or set up a tank in the studio. I like white clouds so I can get most of it done with what I have. Just need CO2 rig, thinking paintball to start, not sure.
I can type forever, haha, insomnia and Amy is out of town for the weekend.
The tank is actually looking good and the colors are not that shabby. Are you saying it looks more washed out in person?

Quick update....Everything is filling in well, still very little algae issues. I clean the front glass about once every month or two, really not getting much of any algae which is great since I don't really use ferts. You can see growth is pretty good as well. Unfortunately, the Limnophila aromatica is not coloring up at all, I know it's low tech but I was hoping for some color.
My only real change is the new light. It actually photographs well and looks attractive in pictures but is far too blue, even with the 3 blue LED's covered up. I didn't do my research on this light, saw it cheap when I was out in SF and decided to go for it. All colors, including green, look dull, reds look the worst. It also appears dimmer than the last light and in my bit of research, it may be truly low light. My tank has always been low tech but that doesn't mean it's low light. However, I am impressed by the coverage of the light, especially right on top of the tank. I will give it a bit of time before I make my final judgement but will likely be replaced regardless. It may become an intermediate step between regular lights and moon lights on a higher tank unless I start to like the color. None of my fish are all that iridescent so it doesn't even help there (Betta has none). No shimmer either since tank is low flow.
Anyway, here are some pics. I will likely do a late night trim.
Small upadate. First and foremost, I obviously killed of my Riccia and just redid that today. I had some hair algae and treated with H202, knowing that the Riccia would suffer. Didn't have enough to redo for awhile. Also, just trimmed, didn't clean the glass etc. Still need to figure out a plan for the right side, I may or may not get a smaller piece of driftwood. Tank hasn't got much love of lately but still keeps on chugging on it's own.

In the background, left to right:
Rotala Colorata
Rotala sp. 'Bangladesh'
Rotala macrandra-Hard to see (Not recommended)
Not sure what the grass looking plant is
rotala macrandra v. 'narrow leaf'/Rotala Magenta-Hard tos ee (not recommended)
Sunset Hygrophila
Alternanthera reineckii
Tiger Lotus
Sold to me as Helanthium tenellum, commonly called Echinodorus tenellus
I would say all these plants are good for a nano with decent light. Most of the colorful plants don't need much light to have decent color.
Some other good options would be rotala indica, rotala sp. red, limnophila aromatica, hygro compacta for some plants that have some color. Almost all green plants can deal with not a ton of light.

I'm new here and new to planted aquariums, so Iim just getting up to speed.
I liked reading this thread and watching the evolution (or de-evolution) of your tank.
I also really liked the previous version of your tank, with the wood, I would love to build a similar low-tech environment in my future 2-Gal nano shrimp tank that I will be scaping on top of CaribSea Eco-Complete Planted Black. Not sure if I will bottom it with soil or not.

Keep it up
A bit of an update...I honestly haven't really figured out what I want to do with this tank, just adding plants I either really like or plants I have always wanted to try.
There are two things I really don't like right now. First, I have way too much going on in the foreground. I don't know how I will deal with it. I don't expect the glosso to actually carpet in these conditions but it may or may not look decent if I just trim it. If not, that will solve the issue. I really like the Riccia but I don't want it solely for a foreground just yet. It is the easiest plant to grow ever, haha, so I can fill in the whole front in a week if I change my mind with no issue.
The other thing I don't like is the large piece of driftwood. It was the smallest peice I could find that had some character but I can't find a way to make it look good. I only put it in because I want to try Fissiden. I will swap it out with something smaller.
After that, I will start choosing where I ultimately want everything. I will likely thin out some of each plant as I will likely add a lot more species. I also replaced my Betta with a new one. He was camera shy today.

Good luck with it, Braden

Decent Flavor
- Familiarity: I gave it as a gift but have feedback to share
Flavor isn't too bad and it seems to do the trick.
Good tasting recovery drink I use a lot
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
After a hard/long session or race drinking a recovery drink with protein after helps a lot, GU Brew is also really convenient and fast, especially with the individual packs. I really like the taste of the chocolate and strawberry recovery drinks, especially compared to other brands I have tried. I also put them in a blender w ice and fresh strawberries (for the strawberry watermelon.) I also drank a lot of these when I was nursing and training as I seemed to need a lot of extra fluids and protein.
review flagged as Unhelpful and misinforming about Maltodextrin, Soy Lecithin, and Fructose.. Click here to view.
Gu says it tastes good. Meh.
Good for its intended post recovery ride purpose, but the taste isn't there.

Achievement Gap Continues To Narrow As Student Population Becomes More Diverse
"These results, like the long-term July data, confirm that we are on the right track with No Child Left Behind, particularly with younger students who have benefited from the core principles of annual assessment and disaggregation of data. The results in fourth grade are particularly encouraging, and we are truly heartened by the continued narrowing of the achievement gap.
"It's notable that as our student population has become increasingly diverse, the scores have continued to rise, and it's no accident. It is a tribute to the hard work of classroom teachers, school principals and local policymakers. These results clearly show a need to apply principles of accountability in middle and high schools."
Secretary Margaret Spellings
Newest Nation's Report Card Shows Steady Growth And Progress By African American Students
- The latest Nation's Report Card, released today, shows steady growth and gains by America's schoolchildren, particularly in the early grades and among African American and other minority students. The results, from the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) 2005 benchmark exam of fourth- and eighth-graders, confirm that real progress is being made in helping to ensure that the promise of the No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB) is realized for millions of young Americans from every background.
Closing The Achievement Gap And Realizing The Promise Of NCLB
Signed into law in 2002, the No Child Left Behind Act is working to bring all students up to grade level in reading and math, to close the nation's achievement gaps within a decade, and to hold schools accountable for results through annual assessments. Under NCLB, students in grades 3-8 are tested annually with one additional test administered in high school. The NAEP results show that achievement gaps continue to narrow even as student populations become more diverse.
- The achievement gap in eighth-grade math between white and African American students narrowed to its lowest point since 1990.
- In fourth-grade reading, African American students rose 10 points from 2000 to 2005, helping to drive overall progress higher in the last five years (up 6 points) than in the previous eight (down 4 points).
- In fourth-grade math, African American students rose 17 points from 2000 to 2005, helping to drive overall progress nearly as high in the last five years (up 12 points) as in the previous 10 (up 13 points).
- Since 2003, African American fourth-graders have made significant gains in both math (up 4 points) and reading (up 2 points).
Continued Academic Progress
The Nation's Report Card, with state-by-state data, echoes the positive results shown by NAEP's Long-Term Trend data, released in July 2005. The new results show across-the-board improvements in mathematics and in fourth-grade reading, with African American students posting all-time highs in a number of categories. Across the country, a majority of states improved academically or held steady.
- Overall fourth-grade and eighth-grade math scores rose to all-time highs.
- Overall fourth-grade reading scores matched the all-time high.
- African American fourth-graders posted the highest reading and math scores in the history of the test.
- African American eighth-graders posted the highest math scores in the history of the test.
- In fourth- and eighth-grade math, higher percentages of white, African American, Hispanic, and Asian/Pacific Islander students performed at or above "proficient" levels as defined by NAEP than in any previous year.
- Forty-three states and the District of Columbia either improved academically or held steady in all categories fourth- and eighth-grade reading and fourth- and eighth-grade math.
More Work To Be Done
- The Nation's Report Card, with state-by-state data, shows across-the-board gains in mathematics and significant improvements in reading. However, the results suggest that more intensive instruction is needed to help older students stay on track. More work remains to be done. But thanks to No Child Left Behind, states and school districts now know what works and where to focus their efforts. We must now extend its high academic standards, accountability and assessments to every grade level so that all African American students and others can realize their full potential in high school and beyond.
About The Nation's Report Card
- The National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP), commonly known as the Nation's Report Card, is the yardstick used to measure learning in each state and across the country. By providing policymakers with data about what works, it helps them make informed decisions that will help more students learn. Through two components, the long-term trend assessment (released every five years) and the main and state-by-state assessment (now released every two years), the Nation's Report Card measures what America's students know and can do in various subject areas. The 2005 main assessment, released today, includes national and state-by-state scores for 338,000 fourth-graders and 321,000 eighth-graders tested in reading, mathematics, and other subjects. The NAEP is carried out by the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) within the Institute of Education Sciences in the U.S. Department of Education. It is overseen by the National Assessment Governing Board (NAGB), a bipartisan group of governors, state legislators, local and state school officials, educators, business representatives, and members of the general public.

21st CCLC Community Partners (PDF)
Family Engagement School to Family Graph (Word)
Family Engagement with Dr. Maria Paredes
Dr. Maria Paredes, Senior Program Associate at WestEd, will present Family Engagement strategies regarding Academic Parent-Teacher collaboration. Her model is an intentional, systematic means of increasing student academic learning and performance by enhancing the quality of parent-teacher collaboration, to share ownership and accountability by working together to leverage and coordinate existing resources. Participants will learn strategies that give purpose, structure, and direction to school leaders, daytime teachers, after-school teachers, and community service providers on how to engage families in student learning. By providing parent education and creating a two-way system of regular communication, teachers can ensure that parents have knowledge and understanding of their children's grade level learning goals, and that parents are engaged in helping their children meet or exceed appropriate standards.
Join 21st Century Community Learning Center Grantees for this one day workshop as Dr. Paredes shares means of building a three-way structure of support for student academic success that connects the school curriculum to that of the home and 21st Century Community Learning.

The Family Involvement Course
The U.S. Department of Education just announceed the Family Imvolvement Course on the You for Youth website. You can complete the online Family Involvement course in less than an hour, or about 10 minutes a day for one week. You'll get a certificate of completion as well as ideas and resources to support stronger relationships with students' families. Forging strong links can help students overcome challenges that have kept them from active involvement with school staff. As you know, good relationships usually don't happen by chance. The Family Involvement course includes videos, activities, research and practical tips you can put to use right away.
The Family Engagement for High School Success Toolkit: Planning and implementing an initiative to support the pathway to graduation for at-risk students
Recognizing the role that family engagement plays as part of a comprehensive strategy to keep teens in school and ensure that they graduate prepared for the future, AT&T, United Way Worldwide (UWW), and Harvard Family Research Project (HFRP) created a toolkit that will guide the development and implementation of strategies that engage families in helping at-risk high school students get back on track. The Family Engagement for High School Success Toolkit will help local United Way chapters, nonprofits, schools, and other community organizations:
- Identify how to spot ninth graders who are at risk of dropping out, considering factors such as attendance, behavior, and academic performance.
- Enlist and enroll the right partners and work creatively to reach parents of at-risk kids.
- Work with parents, schools, and partners to apply research-based strategies and promising practices to get at-risk students back on track to graduate from high school.

Facial Moisturizers - Staff Picks!
Made with fresh ingredients, expertly formulated and highly effective; we think our moisturizers are among our inventors' finest work. But don't take our word for it! The LUSH copywriters popped down to the Robson Street and Metrotown stores here in Vancouver, British Columbia and asked our wonderful store staff what their can't-live-without moisturizers are. Here's what they had to say:
Gina on Gorgeous:
"I love Gorgeous because when I put it on in the morning it melts smoothly into my skin. The smell of it reminds me of fresh oranges and honey. By the end of the day, my skin still feels soft and matte. It's perfect for the delicate areas around my eyes, because my skin is quite sensitive to ingredients. I love it, I couldn't live without it!"
Nicola on Skin's Shangri La:
"The fresh wheatgrass in Skin's Shangri-La makes me feel like I'm really nourishing my skin. It's the most hydrating moisturizer I've used and my skin really drinks it up."
Danielle on Cosmetic Lad:
"Cosmetic Lad saved my skin! The soothing orange blossom, aloe vera, chamomile and marigold take away all my redness, while leaving just the right amount of moisture. It soaks in fast, and smells like sweet tangerine! This one isn't just for the boys anymore!"
Matty on Enzymion:
"I love Enzymion for the summertime. All the fresh papaya makes sure my skin doesn't get too oily or greasy throughout the day. It's really fresh and light on the skin."
Nicole on Vanishing Cream:
"I have very oily skin, so Vanishing Cream is one I love to use- especially at night time. The lavender balances the skin and makes me feel relaxed before going to bed."
Lisa on Enchanted Eye Cream:
"Enchanted Eye Cream is a fairy tale end to puffy, tired eyes. I like to keep it in the fridge and pop it under my eyes first thing in the morning, sorta like coffee for my tender eyeball area. Shazam!"
Avery on Celestial:
"It's fantastic for sensitive skin. It has a ton of almond oil for hydration, vanilla and dove orchid extract which tones out of any redness you might have."
Rachael on Skin Drink:
"There's a big difference between covering your skin with moisturizer and Skin Drink. All of the lovely, nutritious ingredients work together as one to actually make each layer of skin hydrated and healthy! Skin drink is an understatement, try Skin breakfast, lunch, dinner and drinks!"
Anton on Imperialis:
"I love that it's pink! And that when I wear it, it doesn't feel like there's anything on my skin, it just gives me exactly what I need. I love the way it smells as well, very soft and fresh."
Niko on Full of Grace Facial Serum:
"Massaging this solid bar into my skin before bed is easy, helps with my redness, and gives me the moisture I need. It's packaging-free, a little goes a long way and it lasts forever. What's not to love?"

what about this?... bike on bike
these are both of my motorcycles. its an easy way to get to the skatepark in style
That is awesome. I was riding my Honda Helix scooter and came across 3 bikes that I had to have and was too far away from home to swap out vehicles, so.....1 rachet strap, some twine, an old extension cord and some duct tape later, I was on my way home with the bikes. Made it home ok too...close to 40 miles highway and city riding. Boy did I ever get strange looks that day
When the weather is nice I always ride with my trailer and 10 bungee cords and a length of rope. Really comes in handy. I have since painted it to match the bike and added a little ratrod advertising to it. I've used this rig to deliver bikes and bike parts as far as Peru!

oh yes then there are the bar ends made from wine bottle stoppers
I found these salt and pepper shakers at the local thrift store and thought they were cool so I stuffed a couple of Maglites into them.

When it comes to dressing for awards season, it pays to take advice from Marc Jacobs. At least so was the concluding message at the Screen Actors' Guild awards in Hollywood last night where the best dressed attendees took their lead from the New York-based designer.
Picking up where Jacobs latest collection for Louis Vuitton left off, monochrome dominated. Showing her appreciation for the season's biggest print trend, Claire Danes chose an asymmetric gown by Givenchy which featured an inset panel of black and white printed silk.
Julianne Moore joined her in an appliqued silk plunge neck dress by Chanel.
January Jones, a relative expert when it comes to exploring current trends on the red-carpet, chose a striking white and black fish-tailed gown by the US based Nepalese designer Prabul Garung.
And then there were those who played it safe by choosing head to toe gowns in black. Amongst them was the irrepressibly elegant Michelle Dockery. Just like Lady Mary, the character she plays in the award winning Downton Abbey, the actress displayed her affection for the little black dress in selecting a flowing silk column gown by Ralph Rucci. She was joined in black by Les Miserables star Anne Hathaway who collected her SAG award in a sheer and sequined gown by Giambattista Valli and by Mad Men's Elizabeth Moss who was among the only attendees to choose a knee-length dress.
While choosing gowns in vivacious shades has become common practice for celebrities determined to avoid the worst dressed lists during awards season, the gowns on offer last night proved that opting for a more discreet colour choice can still have dramatic, if elegantly understated, effect.
At the opposite end of the spectrum was the far from unassuming Kerry Washington who dazzled in a glittering white gown by Rodarte and Australian actress Naomi Watts who stood out in a Marchesa in shimmering ivory.
They were joined by Jessica Chastain who made the boldest choice of the evening. Side-stepping the monochrome movement entirely, the flame haired Zero Dark Thirty star was resplendent in a scarlet figure-hugging bustier gown by Alexander McQueen.
It pays to be brave.
