Titusville Rockets
Coach (season, record): Scott Davie (3rd season, 8-36)
2010-11 overall record: 5-17
2010-11 region record (place): 1-15 (ninth)
2010-11 playoff results: Did not qualify for the District 10 Class AAA playoffs.
Top players lost: Jimmy Burt, Brennan Becker, Michael Vinopal
Top returning players: Alex Kline, Kennedy Neely, Robby Johnson, Corey Ciccarelli, Jayce Corklin, Dillon Speer
Assistant coach: Ed Kline
Outlook: Titusville has an experienced team back this fall after losing only three seniors to graduation. Jimmy Burt, Brennan Becker and Michael Vinopal are gone but the Rockets have everyone else back this winter. Alex Kline, Kennedy Neely, Robby Johnson, Corey Ciccarelli, Jayce Corklin and Dillon Speer are returning lettermen this year and are looking to improve and compete in a tough region. Johnson, Kline and Neely provide senior leadership, while Ciccarelli, Corklin and Speer received important minutes last year to gain experience. Titusville is probably still a few years from contending in one of the toughest Class AAA regions in the west but improving the program and developing chemistry as a team will be important this winter.

Outlook: Titusville will be young and fast this winter but size will be an issue. The Rockets don't have many rebounders but second-year coach is hoping to make up for that with speed. Dorothy Stromdahl is gone to graduation, but the Rockets have Grace Champion, Carly Kriner and Renata Drusko are back. Champion is the starting point guard and last year's fourth-leading scorer, while Kriner was second in scoring and a shooting guard. Drusko is the only senior back and is a solid rebounder. Haleigh Scott and Praise Mabugu could see more varsity action this winter after stepping up in the offseason.

The Record: Homes at sea
THE ANNOUNCEMENT that the federal government will provide $300 million to start buying out houses in certain flood-prone areas brought a joy of relief to many homeowners anxious for a fresh start after seeing superstorm Sandy destroy their neighborhoods.
We support these buyouts in order to get homes out of flood-prone zones while providing new open space in those areas that can better sustain flooding. And while Governor Christie has suggested that residents pressure their reluctant neighbors, that may not be necessary at this point.
The state will administer the buyout offers to willing homeowners through its existing Blue Acres Program. The process could start in the next month or two with the first closings expected by Labor Day and the rest done within a year.
The initial targets for buyouts will include approximately 350 homes in Middlesex County and Cumberland County, but more areas are expected to be added in the future.
Christie said this will be voluntary and doesn't want the state to use eminent domain to seize any properties from homeowners. But the key to this initiative is that groups of homes in neighborhoods are sold together. It can't be a piece-by-piece deal if it is to be effective. That way the land can be turned into open space without one remaining home that will be even more vulnerable to future flooding.
While many residents of the areas in the initial buyout zone sound excited for this opportunity, there may still be some holdouts — which could potentially cause problems.
"I hate to think that because of two to three families who do not want to participate that that would stop us from moving forward and picking up the pieces of our lives," a Sayreville resident told Staff Writer Melissa Hayes at Christie's town hall-style event on Thursday.
Christie said the state will seek an "overwhelming majority" and might allow buyouts even if one or two owners won't participate. But he also encouraged residents to try persuading their neighbors to join in, and joked that they "use the gentle persuasion that New Jerseyans are known for all across America."
But we feel the housing market could dictate this move as necessary without anyone's "gentle persuasion." If someone has the lone house on a flood-prone street it could be very hard to sell it in the future. Prospective buyers will be able to easily read the writing on the wall — especially if there are only one or two houses with walls up left in that neighborhood.
There's no hiding the fact that it's in a flood zone and will most likely suffer great damage in the next major storm. When that happens — and it appears strong storms are happening more frequently than in the past — that lone house will be the only buffer from the rising waters, so the destruction will be great.
The value that homeowners will get from the federal government for their properties hasn't been established yet. People have the right to live where they want as long as they're not harming the public safety. But we expect that most, if not all, homeowners will be smart about this.
If people find themselves surrounded by nothing, they may soon find that their homes are worth nothing.

Buy-Sell-Trade Rating: (
I voted extremely satisfied, because it is the reality. I don't even try to compare the DCT with any slushboxes I drove (not owned though). I come from a life driving MT so my impressions may be biassed, because the DCT is acting more like a MT and not an slashbox AT. I am for sure not "conditionned" to "slushbox driving experience" and I love it. Yes, I know it can be the "mother of all the frustrations" when it is not programmed properly (
because of poor technical expertise of the people working in some Ford dealerships, mostly
). My advice to those who experience these problems would be : change the F... dealer ! Get a second opinion ! Do something to solve your problems. The time you spend here complaining day long about the DCT is time lost for you getting the DCT fixed. Because IT CAN BE FIXED ! I had problems with my DCT after an update, but I chose to focus on finding a solution to my problem, not on bashing on the forum against DCT. And the problem was solved - the dealer from whom I bought the car was changed for a better one too ! So, yes, I enjoy driving my FF and WizeGuyDezignz, I thank you for mentionning my name, but you did the poll. So, kudos to you !

Harlem Shakes up its Image
"Our community is telling us that we really need better information on that website," said Morris.
She went out and found PR, Etc, a public relations firm, to improve the site and the district's overall image.
The district has already paid $3,000 to upgrade the site and another $7,000 to upgrade the district's logo and improve
"We could very conservatively bring in expertise to help us build that structure."
It's not overstating the possibilities once the website is unveiled this fall.
"It might get more people in our district," said Kelly Nimtz, parent of a freshman-to-be at
That could mean increased revenue for the school district and increased productivity within the district as well.
"I think one of the key components now is the communication between your stakeholders, parents, athletes, other schools," said Kurt Weight, Harlem High School Athletic Director. "So all that information that's disseminated throughout the community, it's streamlined and more efficient."
More efficient, allowing Weight to focus on his daily responsibilities in his second year as the school's AD.
"If you get the information to the people that want it, in a simpler format, it makes my life a lot easier," said Weight.
In the end, it may make everyone in the district's life a little bit easier.
"We're focused on doing what our community has asked us to do," said Morris.

New material mimics the structure of coral, a natural adsorbent of heavy metals
A new material that mimics coral could help remove toxic heavy metals like mercury from the ocean, according to a new study published in the Journal of Colloid and Interface Science. The researchers, from Anhui Jianzhu University in China, say their new material could provide inspiration for other approaches to removing pollutants.
Toxic heavy metal ions like mercury, lead and arsenic are released into the water through human activity, including manufacturing and industrial processes. One major source of toxic metal contamination is the ocean. When mercury pollutes the water, plants and animals absorb it. The mercury builds up in the food chain, ultimately resulting in toxic fish. According to the WHO, between 1.5 and 17 in every thousand children living in selected subsistence fishing populations showed cognitive impacts caused by the consumption of fish containing mercury.
Heavy metals are also toxic to corals: even at low concentrations, small amounts of heavy metal pollution can kill corals. This heightened toxicity is due to coral being very efficient at collecting, or adsorbing, heavy metals. The researchers behind the new study have taken inspiration from this and developed a device that mimics the way coral adsorbs heavy metals.
Dr. Xianbiao Wang and colleagues have made coral-like nanoplates using aluminium oxide, with the aim of adsorbing mercury from water. Aluminium oxide has previously been used to remove pollutants, but the structure of the material has not been optimal, so they have not performed very well. The new nanoplates curl themselves up into a coral-like structure, which behaves in a similar way to real coral, making the material more effective.
"Adsorption is an easy way to remove pollutants from water, so developing new products that can do this is a big challenge in environmental remediation," said Dr. Xianbiao Wang, one of the authors of the study from Anhui Jianzhu University in China. "The chemical and physical structure of such products is very important, it is interesting to design and fabricate adsorbents with different structures to see how they behave. In particular, materials that mimic biological adsorbents like coral have potentially huge applications."
The researchers tested the coral-like nanoplates on removing mercury from water. They found that the coral-like structure removed around 2.5 times more mercury from water than the traditional aluminium oxide nanoparticles.

Fishery Management Games: How To Admit New Members And Reduce Harvesting Levels
This paper applies game theory to address the problem of allocating profits among fishing nations, once the countries concerned have expressed an interest in achieving an agreement through a Regional Fishery Management Organization (RFMO). Proposing the population monotonic allocation scheme as management rule for division of profits, we argue that existing RFMOs can be expanded by means of the Shapley value. We also show that adjustment from the Nash equilibrium to sustainable or more efficient can be achieved by means of the proportional rule without harming any of the countries involved.

Since nVIDIA has aquired ULi, it is likely that the Epox EP-9U1697 will be one of very few motherboards using the ULi1697 chipset.

Subject: Motherboards | March 8, 2006 - 04:15 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
X-bit Labs was not impressed with the A8N32-SLI the first time they looked at it. Once they fixed the settings in the BIOS, and utilized the newest nForce4 drivers, their opinion changed. Not only is the board worth a look, you get an idea just how difficult it is to ensure everything is tested right when you are reviewing a product.

It's not a final product by any means, nor is it even a working beta, but it is likely to bear some resemblance to the final product. TweakTown snapped some shots of Gigabyte's upcoming AM-2 motherboard in Taiwan.
"The pictures you are about to see are of a motherboard which is a 'dummy', meaning it doesn't
work and it is still very much a prototype, as the Chinese characters indicate in this article's

Gigabyte provides Quad SLI for Intel chips
Subject: Motherboards | February 28, 2006 - 11:57 AM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Motherboards.org has reviewed the GA-8N Quad Royal SLI from Gigabyte, and it is a truly impressive board. With 4 PCIe 16x slots and support for both nVIDIA's SLI and ATI's Crossfire, this board will be the base of some truly impressive systems in the near future. It also supports pretty much every LGA775 processor out there, including the new Presler chips, if you upgrade the BIOS first.

Correction: EPoX EP-5NVA+ SLI
Subject: Motherboards | February 27, 2006 - 04:41 PM | Jonathan Hung
In the EPoX 5NVA+ SLI review there was an error that was published. I incorrectly stated that a SATA-to-PATA adapter was included with the 5NVA+ SLI, but this is incorrect. The adapter is actually a PATA-to-SATA adapter which allows you to connect your old drives to the SATA interface. Please see this link for the update.

t-break wanted to know what improvements came about when nVIDIA switched from it's original SLI to SLI X16. They tested 4 games, and several benchmarking tools with a pair of 7800GTX's, and have came to a pretty solid conclusion.
"We initially started out by conducting tests at only 0X and 4X AA however we really didnt see any
difference at all. We contacted nVidia about this and they suggested doing tests using 8X and 16X
AA and thus we went back and benched all four games using that setting as well.

Silent PC Review has posted a review of the ASUS A8N32-SLI Deluxe that strays a little from the norm, but is perfect for this unique heatpipe using mobo. By focussing on heat and power, the review covers more than just performance, but helps to explain the 8 phase power the motherboard uses, and reveals a quirk about how it deals with SLI.

TweakTown reviews a sweet little s754 board from EPoX, the 8NPA-SLI. Now you can get an SLI setup, without having to upgrade your CPU, memory and everything else at the same time. You get to save some money on the CPU as well.
Also from EPox, the EP-5NVA is an LGA775 board, and our own Jon Hung has posted a fresh review of it.

Genealogy Today announced the release of a new website designed to help researchers locate genealogical data — both online and offline, and either digitized or in-print. Live Roots bridges the gaps between independent websites, large commercial repositories and printed materials yet to be digitized and published on the World Wide Web.
"I've always tried to stay informed about new resources; but with so many outlets, there hasn't been a single place to search across different catalogs," commented Illya D'Addezio, owner of Genealogy Today. "Through Live Roots I'm partnering with major genealogy companies and many medium and smaller publishers to combine their respective catalogs into one repository."
"The "live" part of the Live Roots concept lets your research continue even when the publication isn't available online," added Illya. "There's nothing more frustrating than finding a resource that could hold the missing link in your tree, and then discovering that there aren't any places online to access it."
For many of the resources in its catalog, Live Roots captures names from their listings and aggregates the data into a searchable index. This makes it possible to locate names within resources, rather than just searching for keywords in titles and descriptions. This includes many of the resources that have yet to be digitized and/or transcribed online.

2012 Preakness Stakes Results
The 2012 Preakness Stakes finished in nail biting fashion, particularly for those pining for another Triple Crown winner, as I'll Have Another just edged Bodemeister to win the Run for the Black-Eyed Susans. Official 2012 Preakness Stakes Results went as follows: I'll Have Another ($8.40 to win), Bodemeister ($3.20 to place), and Creative Cause ($3.60 to show). Horse Racing Odds had I'll Have Another, a second pick to Bodemeister (a 2 to 1 favorite going in) listed at 3 to 1 odds just prior to post time.
I'll Have Another did, indeed, have another, overcoming Bodemeister on the back stretch, yet again, to win the 137th Running of the Preakness Stakes by a nose.The colt recording a an official winning time of 1:55.90.
Many felt the shorter distance of the Preakness would provide Bodemeister an edge it did not have in the 1 1/4 miles Derby, but that thinking was proved false in dramatic fashion. Jockey Mario Gutierrez paced I'll Have Another well throughout the race, keeping the colt near the front and toward the outside, but when he called on him late, he answered just as he did at Churchill Downs two weekends ago.
I'll Have Another broke from the pack and slowly reeled in Bodemeister, who did not exhibit the same signs of late fatigue that he did at the Derby, to become the 33rd horse to win both the Kentucky Derby and Preakness Stakes. The son of Flower Alley, a product of Distorted Humor, now has an opportunity to become the first Triple Crown winner since Affirmed completed the famed trifecta in 1978.
Trainer Doug O'Neill indicated after yesterday's race that I'll Have Another will, barring an injury or unforeseen health issue, run in the 144th Belmont Stakes. The final leg of the Triple Crown Series will take place on Saturday, June 9th at Belmont Park in Elmont, New York.

We've all been there, honestly
Bear with us as we celebrate a rare but relevant political detour Friday! Emphasis added for reasons that will quickly become obvious:
COLUMBIA, SC (WIS) – South Carolina Lt. Gov. Ken Ard has resigned from his position following an almost year-long ethics scandal.And all he got for his troubles was an ethics investigation and a highly public pantsing of his team at the hands of Auburn. Look, we're not cheerleading political corruption over here, but YOU try finding a hotel room within comfortable driving distance of the Georgia Dome, especially when the season's already started and particularly on a government salary. Alabama fans book up everything within 20 miles five years in advance, just in case. MARRIOTT POINTS NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP, PAAAOWL.
Ard's ethics trouble began shortly after he was elected in 2010. Campaign disclosure forms showed he had been using campaign funds for things like a hotel room for the 2010 SEC Championship, gas, food, meals, airfare across the country, postage, advertising, phone services, and consulting.

Posted in the Keysville Forum
#1 Nov 9, 2007
So I left CC in 1991 and now I find myself splitting my residence between CC and North Carolina. I am utterly amazed at the incompetence of the leaders of CC from the Town Manager on down. These fools are people that have been educated beyond their intelligence and promoted to their level of incompetence. Chase City is dead. Not dying but DEAD. I would like to know what, if any, efforts this town, led by an incompetent Town Manager, have done in the last 15 years to bring business and commerce to CC. NOTHING as far as I can see. Soon I'll be back in NC full time and will be wiping the shit of what was once a flourishing community off my feet.
And on a side note. I wouldn't take my dog to see the "Doctors" that "practice" medicine in CC. You'd be better off with a bottle of Vitamins and referral to a REAL health care center.
#2 Nov 9, 2007
One more thought. I know the News Progress reads this forum. Do me a favor. Request the phone logs and business trip records to see if Ricky Reese, our "esteemed" Town Manager, has made any effort to recruit industries to CC in his tenure. Seriously, aside from running the day-to-day operations of a VERY SMALL town, what has he done to earn his salary and try to help this community to grow? Go back to his first day on the job and if I'm wrong I'll post it here...but I'm almost positive that he hasn't done a damn thing to help this town grow.

#3 Nov 10, 2007
so i have to ask with your statements. Are your for or agianst this proposed plant coming into town or is this a random comment just because?
#4 Nov 10, 2007
FOR....positively FOR!!!!!! But it's more than that. This town once was thriving. I grew up here in the 70's and 80's. A man used to have at least a couple of options if he needed a new shirt, a pair of pants, or even a suit...Leggett's and the Men's Department Store. Now you have Hite's and that's it. You used to be able to catch the latest movie at a theater...not any more. Main street used to be full of businesses...now it's full of empty store fronts. I'm not blaming CC leaders for Manufacturing leaving not only SS Va., but the US...but I think that a MUCH more proactive leadership could have done something...anything...to try an get industries (ex. Soda plants, Beer plants, Ethanol plants) to locate here. If I'm not mistaken, part of the reason that Hwy 47 was improved in the 80's was to provide a better, safer route for Trucks to make travel between I-85 and CC. Have our leaders capitalized on that??? I'm just saying that either a community is growing or it is dying. These transplants that say "Oh we like Chase City the way it is" will be dead in 10-20 years. Where does that leave the people that appreciate the local but would like to make a living without having to commute 50 miles one way every day? I'm sorry but the Town Manager has to go. Then the town council as it stands. We need new, young blood in this town. We need someone on the phone or in a plane EVERY day trying to recruit some industry here.

Man! Somebody wee wee'd in your corn flakes. I agree CC is in pretty bad shape but darn. I know, too, we need industry but it's not fair to blame the town council or Ricky for industry that left town. We can blame that on Americans, us. We Americans by cheaper made foreign rather items than items manufactured in America. Craddock & Terry closed because they couldn't compete with South American tanners and foreign made shoes. Same with Jonbil. Levis are made overseas now. When was the last time me, you or anyone else bought a shirt made in America? Toys, cars,etc, etc,etc. Not even American flags are made in America any longer. CC is on the brink of getting an ethanol plant, but what's going on? Some CC residents are fighting it. Some folks are too ignorant to know a life preserver when its thrown to them. Are you one of those, or do want to see it locate here? If you are against it then I hope you have a nice life in NC, if not then maybe you can throw some supporting statements for CC rather than vile.
Since: Jul 07
#6 Nov 11, 2007
I think that he did throw some support for it in there CCRez. However it is fair to say that we WILL HAVE to stop shoping at the walmarts and spend more money for things to get thoes items made here. But let me take this a step further. You see most if not all in this coutry is totaly agianst the thought much less the concept of slavery in this country. BUT that does not stop them from going to walmart for the everyday low price that is the biggest contributor to slave labor in all the other contries over seas. THere have been documentary after documantary about it. These people work for a measly 2.00 a day.LET ME SEE ALL OF YOU READING THIS DO THAT. That constitutes slave labor in my book.
Now back on topic. NoSanctuary if you are as concerned about this area as you have stated then you to should get involved in this plant. THe problem we have around here is there is a lot around here that will talk a big game. But they will not do it pubiclly. It is easy to do it behind a screen name on this post as well. If you notice i do not use an allias NOR WILL I! If all the people that have talked to me that were in support of this plant would stand up and speak out then this would not be an ongoing debate and the plant would be here sealed deal. But everyone wants to be liked by everyone or thinks that there voice will not matter. YOU ARE RIGHT IF YOU KEEP YOU MOUTH SHUT!!!. I have lived here 29 years. I am going to fight any retiree, transplant, yankee, dumbass, or what other names that have been called that i have not mentioned. However i say these names so the rest of the ignorant people that can not refrain from the name calling will understand what i am saying. I my self have not nor will i stoop to the level of name calling that has gone on. YOU PEOPLE NEED TO REMEBER THAT THEY HAVE AN OPINION TO. They do not deserve to be called transplants or anything else no more then you do. They live here now just like you and they have concerns. But it will be the side with the most voices that will make the decission.
Further more how can the town manager recuite more business when he doesnt even have the support he needs when he finds it. The ones that are agianst everything dont mind making a fool of them selves if need be to make thier point. So the ones that are for it should be afraid of making a fool of themselves either. The town councile can only do what they have the support to do. If you have concerns then it should be your face in thoes chambers reminding these people that you support them and that they work for you. If you cant take time from your busy day to do that then dont hack them for not going out of there way either.
Im glad to have you on board. I hope you will keep coming back. But please think about all that i have just stated

Sorry, I miised No Santuary's post stating his support. He must have posted at the same time I was writing my post. Like Stephen said, welcome aboard NS. It sickens me too that Chase City is just a shadow of what it once was. I think we have a chance to breathe some life back into it however. Again, like Stephen said, what is needed is people willing to show up at council meetings, encourage growth, be willing to stand up and say "Let's take a chance", be willing to make and accept changes and not just rely on the same old same old. There are folk that want the status quo. Me, I want growth. The status quo crowd have their eyes on the now, not the future. The hell with NOW, NOW is killing this town.

Native living in raleigh. I am with you to. I dont care who gets offended. I just want this town back on its feet. But understand as i stated before. The people of this area MUST GET INVOLVED for that to happen. Evenif we took your method and replaced the council with new that isnt the fix to the problem. The fix will be the proples involvment in the matters. They are your elected officials and you have to remind them of that by GETTING INVOLVED!!:):):)

I have to say I know where NS is coming from. I know there has been at least one instance of interest in which the town manager was given the contact information and he failed to follow up.
On the flip side, yes, we need to express our concerns and back our officials when they persue growth for the town. Too many people only go to the meetings when they have a beef about something that involves just them and otherwise they stay away. Most people claim it won't do do any good and the TM and council will just pay lip service to any issues and hope it will go away. True in many case, I think.
Former Mayor Charles Duckworth speaks of the "silent majority" often. These are the people who were the backbone behind the completion of the Estes Community Center and look what they have to show for their efforts! Now the silence needs to end once again and the majority needs to take action.

I whole heartedly agree with you NG. We have several business people willing to speak out. We have several citizens willing to speak for the silent majority. What saddens me is the APMers have a lot of business people scared of losing business if they speak out. That's just a shame. I understand it, but still it's a sad state of affairs when you have to keep quiet over this. What's needed is a show of support in a major way. I'm just not sure how to lure the supporters out in the open. CCP is working on that though.

Scared of losing business if they speak out??? After Richie clearly stated he didn't think people should stop spending money at his pharmacy because of his views? Wow, what a morally-poor tactic they are using! Since when is it not okay to disagree and discuss?

I know it sounds bad that business folks are scared to speak out, but it's just a sad fact. For me, it's no problem doing business with some of the anti's and I will continue doing business with them as long as they are civil. On the other hand there are some anti's you can't talk with. They just want to bombard you with their view but not listen to opposing views. Stephen knows this first hand as well. What I'd like to see is the leaders of APM hold an open public meeting just like CCP did. Invite the public, present bonafide officials asserting the cons of ethanol, and open them for questions from the public. When CCP did this we had VA Dept Ag., Osage officials, VA Tech Extension Agents and others. Oh well, just a wish. As Stephen said, we'd love to have you join our meetings, offer new ideas. We're trying to move to civic issues now and that'll be on next weeks agenda. Lord knows CC and our area needs more citizen involvememnt.

Sad to see this forum has died. I guess I found it too late. I was looking for 'get-it-done' voices to pull with. I have spoken out numerous times to the town manager and can't get him to take his role seriously about any of the issues. He just sits back and says if you wait long enough the problem will fix itself. Huh! It is only getting worse. Who will stand and speak? Others, kindly step out of the way.

Northwest Jello Salad
Recipe by Heart 'N Soul
I love the flavor of this jello and it is very pretty when molded in a bundt type pan. My mom aquired this recipe and made it for the 4th of July as it is layers of red white and blue, however, we enjoy it so much it has become a part of most other holidays as well! Be sure to cool down the second and third layers before pouring onto the chilled set layer(s) to avoid melting set layer(s)!
Top Review by Judy from Hawaii
I made this for a 4th of July themed party. Canned blueberries were about 6 bucks, & I had some fresh fruit on hand. So I chose a blue colored jello for that layer & used the fresh fruit. I tend to stay away from jello (don't know why, but I seem to have a jello phobia), but this receipe was actually quite easy to put together & was very pretty. Taste wise, I liked the fruit layers better than the creamy layer, but it was all good.

Connecting Art to the Needs of the Community
Posted by May 03, 2012 0 comments
In reading people's Blog Salon posts I am glad to see innovative approaches to assessing the impact of public art, how inviting people to tell stories can be used as an assessment tool, and how one can look at arts impact on well-being and social cohesion.
I am even more convinced that it is important that the evaluation process be one that is engaging and inclusive of arts richness rather then an empty distillation of findings that caters to a potential funders need to assess impact.
This process must be more then about giving funders what they want or about being able to tell whether one program, artist or project is better than another, but rather, to help us understand arts role in our communities and on the individual so that we might advocate for a change in the way investment takes place.
If art is in fact offering a space for developing social understanding, for connecting and building relationships, and for developing greater cohesion, part of the story that needs to be told is about how and why this is a valuable counterbalance to a society whose bureaucracies emphasize productivity, economic success, and competition without fostering the larger social fabric of communities.
One possible way to frame evaluation is to make clear the problems that art addresses.
One compelling piece of data in Baltimore is the dropout rate, which hovers around 50 percent (depending on who you ask and how you count).
When comparing this number to how youth rate their school climate through the Baltimore City School Climate Survey, it seems that about half of youth in schools experience negative social climate (about the same rate as they are dropping out). Though these two figures are not proven to be causal it does seem likely that a poor social climate plays a role in kids dropping out.
One could also look at our cities budgets and see them as representative of our value systems on a larger scale. In Baltimore our city spends 24 percent of its budget on safety, 6 percent on "stronger neighborhoods," and 13 percent on schools.
To invest in art in our systems, in schools, public spaces, or in community spaces requires a significant paradigm shift towards acknowledging the importance of our essential joy, our bond and connections with others and our communities.
Assessment needs to not just define effectiveness but build a compelling picture of this greater need for balance and promote the positive solutions to social challenges that art can offer.

May 29, 2013 Fran Kritz 8 Crazy Side Effects of Drugs You Might Be Taking Every medication comes with a risk of side effects—often general, catch-all ones like fatigue, drowsiness, nausea, or headache. But some medications do things to your body that are a little wackier—like turn your pee a different color, or cause you to grow hair in places you'd really rather hair didn't grow. "The same chemical structure that causes the drug to work can cause the side effects," explains Andrew Forest, Pharm.D., clinical pharmacy manager at Mercy Medical Center, in Baltimore, Maryland. "Changing the drug even just a bit to lose the side effect could result in [patients] not getting the full benefit." Barbara Young, Pharm.D., editor of Consumer Medication Information, for the American Society of Health-System Pharmacists, in Bethesda, Maryland, concurs: "Side effects, even weird ones, can be the collateral damage" of the drug's benefit. Read on for some pretty wacky medication side effects that can happen—and tell us if any have happened to you. Photo: skhoward/Getty Images Colored Urine Seeing your pee turn psychedelic colors can be disconcerting, to say the least. "This has to do with how the drug metabolizes," says Forest. Dyes in the drug can leach out and color urine and other body secretions. Women with urinary tract infections who use the drug Pyridium, for example, may see orange urine. (If you're a woman treating a UTI with the drug it's also a good idea to take your contact lenses out because it can stain them orange as well.) Other colors of the rainbow you might see in the toilet bowl: red from the chemo cancer drug doxorubicin (Doxil); methyldopa (Aldomet), which is used to treat high blood pressure in pregnant women, can turn urine black if it comes in contact with a toilet bowl that's been cleaned with bleach; methocarbamol, a muscle relaxant, can turn urine green; and Urised, a bladder infection drug, can turn urine blue. If you see dark brown or red urine—especially if you're not on any medication— check with your doctor; this can be a sign of infection, says Young. Photo: Mark Evans/Getty Images Hair Growth Several years back, men taking the drug minoxidil—taken orally to treat an enlarged prostate—noticed that hair was growing on their bodies. The drug's manufacturer saw the huge potential and soon turned that unexpected side effect into Rogaine, one of the few options for treating hair loss (it's applied topically to the head to stop baldness and regrow hair). Similarly, finasteride (Propecia), which is also used to treat an enlarged prostate, has the fringe benefit of treating male-pattern baldness (it's not approved for use in women). More recently, people taking a glaucoma drug noticed their eyelashes were growing longer and fuller; drugmaker Allergan turned that "side effect" into a booming business with Latisse, which can be used to plump up paltry lashes. It's worth remembering, though, that medication side effects can sometimes cause additional side effects: Young says Latisse can also cause darkened eyelid skin and change your eye color to brown. "Use this, and all other drugs, according to their directions," she cautions. Photo: Slobodan Vasic/Getty Images Metallic Taste The antibiotic clarithromycin (Biaxin) is one drug that can cause your food and beverages to taste tinny, as if you're eating or drinking something full of metal. "When I drank soda while on the drug, it tasted as though I was drinking the can," says Young. If you're taking Biaxin, try different foods to see if there are other foods that are more palatable, rather than getting off the drug altogether, says Young. It's imperative that you complete a full regimen of antibiotics for them to be optimally effective. Photo: ooyoo/Getty Images A Torn Ligament or Tendon A class of antibiotics called floroquinolones—which includes the drug Levaquin—can result in torn ligaments and tendons, though it's not clear why, says Forest. "It's more likely to happen to kids and older patients, but if you're on an antibiotic and notice leg pain, contact your doctor right away," he advises. Photo: Todor Tsvetkov/Getty Images Yellow Teeth Because tetracycline—a common antibiotic—can permanently turn kids' teeth yellow, they're not used much in children anymore and the medication is also rarely used in pregnant women because the baby can be born with discolored teeth, explains Young. But the drug is effective for severe acne, so women who are pregnant should ask their doctor about side effects if the treatment is recommended. Photo: Sven Hagolani/Getty Images Colored Vision If you're using the erectile dysfunction drug Viagra (sildenafil citrate), your sight may take on a blue or green tinge, and your vision can also become slightly blurred; both are well-known symptoms of the medication. That said, any changes to your vision should be discussed ASAP with your doctor; the side effect may pass or you may need to be put on another drug. Photo: Petek Arici/Getty Images A Bad Sunburn Certain drugs—including floroquinolones, statins (which lower cholesterol), and tetracycline—can make your skin very sensitive to the sun, says Young—what's called photosensitivity. That means you could sunburn faster than you might otherwise if you weren't on the drug. If you're taking a medication that makes you photosensitive, the best advice is the most obvious: Stay out of the sun (especially during the hottest period of the day, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.) and cover up your head, eyes, and skin when you're outside. Also, of course, use an SPF 30 sunscreen and reapply often. Photo: Joel Carillet/Getty Images Sleepwalking How common is this side effect? Well, it happens enough that the Food and Drug Administration recently urged drug manufacturers to lower the recommended dose for zolpidem, the active ingredient in some sleeping pills, including Ambien. And the side effects during sleep aren't limited to walking while you're snoozing: People on zolpidem have been reported to have sex, eat, and drive, all while slumbering away. If you're trying to stop smoking and taking the smoking-cessation drug Chantix (varenicline), you might want to warn your bedmate that you could be grabbing them during the night: The drug can cause nightmares and night terrors. Whether or not a drug you're taking may have a side effect (weird or not), Young recommends holding onto the pamphlet of information that comes with the medicine when you pick it up at the pharmacy. That's so you can check your medication side effects later, if any come up, as some may not start until you've been on the drug for days or even weeks. Knowing that your pee could turn blue—and that it's fine if it does—could keep you from racing to the ER. That said, if you're really concerned, always reach out to your doctor for answers to your questions.

I enjoyed reading of your misery very much, thank you!
It's terrible that Argentina has been so rough on you - I'm very disappointed to hear it - but you tell it so well!!
I wish you and Marta a very Merry Christmas together. I agree with Kerri - your luck will turn. Every Argentinian I've ever met has been lovely, so I'm sure you'll encounter good people soon.
Best wishes,
Ups and Downs Argentina

The Lakes District of Chile is certainly a beautiful place, not dissimilar to England's own poetry-inspiring Cumbria
I don't really have much else to say about the area. I can tell you that the nearby Volcano Villarica – snowy blanketed and shining brilliantly white when set against the blue sky - dominated the landscape the way a massive mound of iced Christmas pudding might dominate a table feast
Anyway, Pucon and the surrounding lakes were beautiful, but kind of unnecessary to harp on so much about. After a few days here, we carried on further south to the second largest of Chile's islands: Chiloe. Chiloe was another place we'd heard a lot about (mainly that it rains a lot there – oh so bloody true!), so we decided to suck it up, brave a little wet weather, and see it for ourselves. Kerri was very much smitten with the place, as it is a beautifully rolling, green island of seaside villages, littered at low tide with boats that look like they've sailed in straight out of a Popeye cartoon; and beset along so many of its shores by colourful wooden houses balancing on stilts stuck into the sand. She skipped about like a kid at Disneyworld, chattering about how wonderful it might be to live out our golden years here. "Sure" I muttered into the hood that was forever being blown against my face (again, when you come from a place where the grass grows sideways, you shouldn't be this bothered by a little breeze – what's happened to me?). There is some need of general upkeep – most of the houses would benefit simply from a fresh splash of paint, but it all had a kind of quaintly unkempt look, made further romantic by the salty air, glistening beaches, smoking chimneys and constant need for the wearing of waterproof ponchos
We sampled the local seafood (the biggest shellfish I've ever seen), and learnt a little of Chiloe's uniquely bizzare mythology. They seem to believe in an eternal battle between two opposing deities (crazy so far, right? It gets better), one a kind of good sea snake called 'Ten-Ten Vilu' who protects the lands from another, badder sea serpent called 'Cai-Cai Vilu' (who actually is more like half serpent, half horse), who is angry at man for leaving his original home in the sea, and who threatens to flood the lands in a cataclysm that could wipe out all of us: Rather worrying stuff. Along with these two eternally battling snakes is the legend of a dwarf (The 'Trauco') of unparalleled ugliness, who can apparently seduce women to the point of sexual possession by appearing to them in erotic dreams; and a widow ('La Viuda') who appears in the night, entrapping men with her breath and using them to satisfy her carnal cravings: Not so worrying. The most intriguing figure is the tragic 'Invunche,' a sorry state of a man, who guards some Warlock's cave door like a twisted bouncer. This unfortunate man was taken from his family at birth by witches, who mutilated him firstly by bending the bones of his leg over his back so he can't run away (but is revered by yoga practitioners). He is fed on the milk of a black cat and the remains of human corpses stolen from cemeteries
For me, the highlight of Chiloe might have been meeting Buzz Lightyear dancing outside an electrical goods shop, and having my photo taken with him. By the grin on his face, he might have been equally taken with meeting me!
We decided that Chiloe was as far south as we wanted to venture and so, dreaming of bluer skies and drier pastures, took a bus over the nearest border and into Argentina, a country known for its great travelling opportunities, and for such legendary figures as Che Guevara, Maradonna and Evita Peron. Also being known for producing some of the best beef in the world, we were looking forward to a warm reception, interesting culture and some delicious steaks. We were not disappointed, at least, by the beef. We had one of the tenderest and juiciest cuts of meat I'd ever eaten in a bus station one midnight as we awaited a bus that was only a couple of hours late.
It is said that Argentineans are known for having something of a chip on their shoulder about certain aspects of their global status. Once one of the richest countries in the world, it has struggled and fallen into economic despair over the last hundred years or so through the general tomfoolery of certain political figures that I shan't pretend to know about. It seems widely accepted that Argentineans see themselves more as European, and less as the wieldy bottom-end of the third-world continent of South America.
Our first stop was in a touristy town in the Argentinean Lakes District (literally the other side of the Andes from Chile's). Here we were met by locals who seemed to strongly begrudge our presence. Bus drivers and shopkeepers were curt at best, Tourist Information workers seemed to grumpily give us duff information, resulting in our wasting a lot of time looking for things that weren't there, and the whole general infrastructure seemed to be one intended to bamboozle and upset the very foreigners whose money has helped make the town what it is (an over-aggrandised chocolate dispensary used mainly as a base for exploring the surrounding mountains). Local buses can only be ridden with a ticket bought beforehand from only certain kiosks that sell them, spread sparsely around the town with no signs or indications of where, or how to attain such golden tickets. Upon finally discovering the kiosk nearest our bus stop, and trying to purchase the necessary tickets to get us to the main station in time to catch our long-distance bus out of there, I was told in a very 'piss-off' tone of voice "No."
"No?" I enquired, in my minimal Spanish, "but why?"
"Finished!" she scowled at me
"Finished, eh?" What's finished exactly: The tickets, the buses… your menopause? " Er… Please madam, where to buy, another place…?"
"That way!" she angrily indicated down the street. Kerri was the one to undertake the task of hunting down the other place (at least four blocks away) while I kept watch over our bags, trying to resist the urge to cheerfully put a rock through the kiosk window.
So, first stop in Argentina, not a happy one. The best thing about Bariloche was that they seemed to have a thing for knitting colourful jackets for their trees. A baffling but charming tradition which may have been due to the festive period, or may be just that Bariloche is full of barmy and bored old women.
Our next stop after twenty hours of bussing north, with one layover in the middle of the night (that should have been two hours but turned into four – well they do want to be more European, they've got their bus timings right for a start – no problem, never mind), was Mendoza, famous for producing wine
Upon first arriving in Mendoza, feeling disgruntled at the fact that a woman who had originally promised us a couch to surf on there had apparently disappeared off the face of the internet, or was just ignoring us, we decided that we would have to put up with the prices of a wannabe European country, and hope to do more couchsurfing later on to save ourselves some cash. No problem, never mind, we can live cheaply (actually, as much as couchsurfing is great for saving money, we generally like to go and spend what we saved on making nice meals and things, so we don't couchsurf just to save cash – the best reason really is because making friends in foreign countries is – simply – awesome).
Our list of luck then in Mendoza continued with us getting a taxi to a hostel mentioned in our guide book and then discovering that such hostel seemed to have been derelict for some time. No problem, never mind, Kerri can wait with the bags while Stevie goes in search of another.
The best hostel in town turned out to be only a two minute walk from where Kerri had sat on the pavement for two hours while Stevie went in a huge circle of the town. No problem, never mind, at least I'm learning the lay of the land and where certain things are (shops, shops, and shopping centers), and I'm happy for the exercise
Upon deciding, the next day, to visit one of the wineries just outside of town (a crime not to, our guide book insisted), we followed the instructions given at a tourist information booth, jumped on the correct bus, and carefully followed the route on our map, only to discover that this bus does not go to the place it was supposed to, and so we had to get off in the middle of nowhere and return to town with bellies bereft of wine (luckily we had already purchased the return tickets – like in Bariloche, the bus driver does not take cash). No problem, never mind, we'll console ourselves with having seen some of the countryside, and buy a cheap bottle of wine for the evening from a local supermarket.
Having our e-book reader stolen by a twelve-year-old boy begging from us as we lay under a tree in the town's main plaza really kind of put the god dam icing on the god dam cake and that's it! We've fricken had it now! This country is really pissing us off! God dammit, that was all our books that we had to read on all those long long distance buses! What now? We'll have to shell out for a new one! Bah, bloody hell, blinking bugger, and all manner of other swear words! Problem! Mind!
And so, trying to stay cool and composed in the sticky heat of a city centre at Christmas, we spent all the next morning searching every electronics store in town to discover that in Argentina, for some odd reason, e-book readers don't seem to have been introduced yet. Alright, no problem, never mind, but this is the last time; hopefully we can arrange for Amazon to send us a new one to the address of a future Couchsurfing host
Yesterday Kerri very smartly said that enough's enough, and our luck is going to change from here on in. And here's where we meet up with you. We had been toying with the idea of just making a beeline for Brazil and forgetting trying to get on any more with Argentina, and then, within less than half an hour, like a bluebird over a rainbow over the disappearing dark clouds, we had switched on the internet and received a golden message from a woman in the town that we actually already had bus tickets for, inviting us to please stay in her home and spend Christmas with her and her family. You couldn't make this shit up.
We couldn't quite believe the spooky uncannyness of Kerri's prediction. At the moment, we've just gratefully accepted Marta's invitation and are really looking forward to making some friends here, as we're sure that it will turn our whole perceptions of the country around. In the meantime, we were almost pleased to be able to offer you a different flavor of our life compared to the previous three months of pretty much perfect luck and smugly amazing times. We feel less guilty now. Please enjoy the very mild misery we have experienced recently, with our compliments. Merry Christmas, Happy New Year, all our love xox
