text: Pharmaceutical disclosure rules pulled, worrying advocates By Phil Kabler November 7, 2011 Story Share CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- Rules for enforcing a 2004 state law requiring pharmaceutical companies to disclose spending on advertising and marketing of brand-name drugs in the state have been withdrawn by Gov.-elect Earl Ray Tomblin's administration -- raising concerns among advocates of the sunshine law.According to the State Register, Tomblin officials withdrew the rule for Prescription Drug Advertising Expense Reporting late last month.Tomblin spokeswoman Kimberly Osborne said the rule, which went into effect in 2010, was withdrawn over concerns it had changed the filing requirements for drug manufacturers from the original 2006 rule."It would have changed filing requirements that prescription drug companies would have had to abide by," Osborne said Monday.Under state law, agencies adopt rules spelling how they will carry out legislative mandates. Under the rule-making review process, those rules have to be formally approved by the Legislature before they go into effect.The 2010 rule made two changes to the 2006 rule, allowing for electronic filing of reports and clarifying that the reports are to be filed with the Governors Office of Health Enhancement and Lifestyle Planning (GOHELP), rather than with the now-defunct office of the state Pharmaceutical Advocate.Sen. Dan Foster, D-Kanawha, a physician and a key legislative advocate for the pharmaceutical spending disclosures, said Monday he was concerned that the rule had been withdrawn, particularly since there had been little or no advance notice to legislators."There seems to be a lack of transparency about how this was done," he said."I don't think that they talked to anybody in the House about this," said Foster. "[House Health and Human Resources Chairman] Don Perdue and I were very much involved in the initial legislation in 2004."Foster said it is important that pharmaceutical companies be required to disclose what they are spending to encourage consumers to request -- and doctors to prescribe -- expensive brand-name prescription drugs. "If we don't do things to control pharmaceutical costs, it's going to cost us more for PEIA and other programs," he said.Osborne said the rule also was withdrawn to allow the next director of GOHELP to have input in any rule changes."We withdrew it because we want to have input from whoever becomes director," she said.Martha Walker retired as GOHELP director July 31, and a successor has yet to be appointed.There have been three financial disclosure reports published since the rule went into effect. The first, by the Pharmaceutical Advocate and covering the last six months of 2007, disclosed that pharmaceutical companies had spent more than $16 million in direct-to-consumer advertising and for nearly 15,000 "gifts, grants or payments" to state physicians, ranging in amounts from $50 to $52,000.The next report for calendar year 2008, showed more than $33.2 million in expenditures, including nearly 16,000 gifts, grants or payments. Four physicians received payments in excess of $100,000, according to the report.The most recent report, for calendar year 2009, cited total spending of $28.6 million, of which $7.7 million was on direct-to-consumer advertising.That report, the first prepared by GOHELP, was two pages long and did not provide a breakdown of payments to providers by payment categories.Reach Phil Kabler at firstname.lastname@example.com or 304-348-1220.

How do I use modules to view the progress of students in a course?
Within Modules, you can view the progress of your students and see how they are progressing through the course.
Module progress is determined by the students completing required elements in the module. If you don't set up any requirements, you won't be able to track your students' progress within each module. Required elements may include requiring the students viewing a page, submitting an assignment, or earning a minimum score on an assignment or quiz. For more information please see the lessons about setting up prerequisites and adding requirements.
Note: Numerous module items may affect performance. Modules supports up to 100 module items in the student progress page.
View Student Progress
Select Student
View Module Progress
The Module Progress window shows the progress of each student in your course. Modules can be completed, in progress, or locked.
- Modules that have no completion requirements, or modules where the students have completed the requirements, will be marked as completed.
- If a student is in the middle of a module, the module will be marked as in progress.
- If a module cannot yet be accessed by the student because of completion or prerequisite requirements, the module will be marked as locked.
Student progress is displayed showing the state of each module.

A few weeks ago we were talking with friends who got married about a year ago. The topic moved to weddings, and the former groom said, "You won't have time to be nervous. It all just goes by so quickly."
"You don't get it," I replied. "When I think about the wedding itself I actually start to feel panicky, just sitting here."
It's true. I think I have a touch more anxiety than the usual pre-wedding jitters. Mr. Dragon is the same way. Neither of us can really start thinking about what it's going to be like to walk down the aisle/wait at the front without having to shut it down immediately because we start feeling terror.
I really am excited about our wedding, as is Mr. Dragon. It's just that as the days tick by, everything is becoming a lot more real instead of that nice, fuzzy abstract image of wedded bliss.
It's not that we don't want to get married, it's just that there are going to be SO MANY PEOPLE staring at me. At least, that's my problem. Mr. Dragon gets nervous when he's stuck in a situation he can't gracefully duck out of, and one can't really gracefully duck out of a wedding when one is the groom. And now I'm at the point where I'm anxious about what to do if he faints from anxiety and we're stuck in an anxiety cycle.
Another problem for me? I'm an introvert. I like small groups, quiet get-togethers, controlled scenes where I'm not bombarded by fifty people trying to hug me, talk to me, or otherwise engage with me. How the heck do introverts tackle weddings?!
I'm afraid that, with all the people to see and things to do before the wedding—and during the wedding—that I'm going to melt down into a puddle of leave-me-alone and hyperventilate. I'm really hoping that blissful bride feeling takes over before that can happen.
So, hive, can you help me out? Are there any fellow panicked people/introverts out there who successfully made it through their own wedding without fainting or hiding in the bathroom? I'm willing to entertain any and all coping mechanisms. Even writing this entry has me feeling a bit panicked!

I was wondering if it's possible to change the final drive without worrying about the diff and other stuff.
Also which f/d would you recommend?
I was wondering if it's possible to change the final drive without worrying about the diff and other stuff.
Also which f/d would you recommend?
The final drive IS the diff, and there isn't many other options available.
You'll have a 3.15 ratio, same as the 3.0 M3.
The next closest would be the 3.23 from the M3 3.2, but that would need the complete rear axle swapped, and a custom prop (or swap the gearbox to a ZF from a 328)
The final drive isn't necessarily the whole diff. You can swap the crown wheel and pinion from any same sized diff.
I've got a 4.10 from the states to go in mine. Any 188mm crown and pinion can be fitted to the "medium" sized diff.
Bear in mind altering the final drive ratio will have an effect on your top speed gearing. The 4.10 diff I have limits a top speed of around 115mph with the standard rev limit. Remapped to 7200 rpm, ~135 should be possible.
Also what is the standard ratio on a 325i on a 1995 M plate?
Mark_F (10-02-2012)
E36Coupe328 (10-02-2012)
4.10 is extreme for the road I think, I had originally looked at 3.91 as you say, but I can count on one hand the amount of times I've seen more than 130mph in the past few years...
As far as I can remember, 3.91 with 17 inch wheels will turn 127mph. - Google a final drive calculator though to confirm.
Quick calculation;
Tyre size: 235/40/17
5th gear ratio 1:1 (double check this, it may not be the same on the 325)
3.91 final drive
6500 rev limit
Top speed 119mph.

A Chic Week in Barcelona
Europe's undisputed capital of eccentricity and design, Barcelona is high on our list for experiencing a Chic Week. Here at the jewel of Spain's sun-kissed east coast, with the Mediterranean Sea on one side and the Catalan countryside on the other you'll find a whole host of unique experiences to sink your teeth into. Once you've had your fill of the sights and sounds of Barcelona we'll whisk you off to the super stylish Catalan infused La Roca Village, where you can pick up exclusive brands like a few of our favourite's Adolfo Dominguez, Lupo and and Munich. Sounds like your kind of Chic Week? Read on…
Artsy sleeps
Once you touch down in Barcelona you'll be whisked off to your sleek crash-pad for the next five nights, The Pulitzer Hotel. A stone's throw from Plaça Catalunya, and within easy reach of the city's Gothic and El Born quarters, those who love to be surrounded by an artsy vibe will feel right at home at this designers playground. Each of the 92 rooms is designed with comfort and style in mind, with Superior Doubles reflecting an architect's studio. Think high-gloss black doors, hinged headboards upholstered in vertical black pinstripe, and large spacious seating areas for you to sit back and relax with a good book. Once settled in, take to the streets to soak up the balmy after hours ambiance at a local tapas joint.
Hitting the pavement
Once feeling revitalised after a good night's rest it's time to hit the pavements and explore this intoxicatingly beautiful city. Renowned for its artistic heritage and breath-taking architecture the visual impact of Barcelona is enough to leave you awe-struck. Explore the Barri Gòtic area where you can marvel at the Gothic architecture and stop at one of the cafés lining the historical plazas. No visit to Barcelona would be complete without a stop at the Parc Güell, designed by local and iconic artist Antonio Gaudi.
Spanish designs and Catalan chic
After taking a few days to explore the city it's time to hop foot it to Chic Outlet Shopping® destination of La Roca Village. A mere 40 minutes' drive from the city centre here you'll find a vibrant collection of boutiques bursting at the seams with famous international and Spanish names, such as Sandro, and Bimba & Lola. Once you've shopped till you (almost) drop, settle down for a bite to eat at the café Andreu, where you can sample their famous jamon, cheeses and smoked salmons, washed down with a glass of Rioja of course. Simply delectable we say.

New Video: Meet Carlos Curbelo
After torpedoing immigration reform in Congress, it's no surprise that Washington Republicans are supporting Carlos Curbelo – who said "Immigration is not a core issue for Florida Hispanics," and served as the Hispanic issues advisor to Fred Thompson's virulently anti-Hispanic, anti-immigrant presidential campaign.
Even more concerning, Curbelo confirmed that "he does agree with some of the planks of Thompson's reform proposal at the time, and the substance of some of his arguments."
That's why today, the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee is releasing a new web video: Meet Carlos Curbelo – highlighting examples of these proposals and arguments, including Thompson's statement that "Twelve million illegal immigrants later, we are now living in a nation that is beset by people who are suicidal maniacs and who are killing thousands of innocent men, women and children around the world" and that Cuban immigrants could be bringing in suitcase bombs.
"Carlos Curbelo played a leading role in one of the most derogatory and offensive campaigns against Florida's Hispanic community, which shows just how out touch Curbelo is with the values of South Florida," said David Bergstein of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee. "Unfortunately, the anti-Hispanic policies and rhetoric that Curbelo practiced do put him perfectly in line with the dysfunctional politics of the Republicans in Washington who were responsible for torpedoing immigration reform efforts that are so vital to South Florida's economy and families."
Carlos Curbelo: Immigration Not a "Core Issue" For Florida Hispanics. "No one can say that someone's position on immigration will cost them the Hispanic vote in Florida," said Curbelo. "Immigration is not a core issue for Florida Hispanics." [Miami Herald, 11/08/10]
Carlos Curbelo Advised Fred Thompson on "Building a Relationship With the Hispanic Community.""A Republican House candidate in Florida who advised onetime GOP presidential candidate Fred Thompson on Hispanic issues is distancing himself from Thompson's controversial statements on immigration reform […] Curbelo's firm, Capitol Gains, received $33,750 from Thompson's campaign from October 2007 through February 2008. During that time, Curbelo said, the firm advised Thompson on 'debate prep, building a relationship with the Hispanic community.'" [The Hill, 7/11/13]
Fred Thompson Proposed Anti-Immigration Initiative Called "One of the Harshest and Most Draconian Proposals." The Executive Director of the Florida Immigrant Advocacy Center called Thompson's proposal "one of the harshest and most Draconian proposals I've heard of in a long time." The plan would in part include denying federal funding to sanctuary cities and public universities offering in-state tuition to children of undocumented immigrants, limit the immigration of extended family members, and make English the official national language. [NBC, 10/23/07; ABC, 10/23/07; Miami Herald, 10/24/07]
Fred Thompson Repeatedly Used Anti-Immigrant Rhetoric. In July 2007, Thompson alleged Cuban immigrants could be brining in suitcase bombs, stating, "I don't imagine they're coming here to bring greetings from Castro. We're living in the era of the suitcase bomb." In May 2007, Thompson said, "Twelve million illegal immigrants later, we are now living in a nation that is beset by people who are suicidal maniacs and want to kill countless innocent men, women and children around the world […] We're sitting here now with essentially open borders."In September 2007, Thompson said, "If we catch illegal immigrants who are here, they need to be deported." [Associated Press, 7/01/07; Associated Press, 5/26/07; ABC, 9/07/07]

The Portland Phoenix
October 5 - October 12, 2000
| reviews & features | galleries | museums | schools & universities | other museums | hot links |
The following preview represents only a fraction of the galleries participating in the Artwalk. Some, like The Clown, June Fitzpatrick, and Davidson & Daughters, didn't have Friday's shows up before our deadline. Check the listings for October 6 openings, to see if your favorite gallery is participating.
"Berenice Abbott's U.S. Route 1" at the Portland Museum of Art. When Abbott felt the urge to road trip, she didn't fool around. In 1954, at age 56, the photographer drove Rte. 1 from New York to Key West, turned around and headed north to Fort Kent. Along the way, she took 2400 pictures. This show surveys some of "reality's unparalleled beauties," as Abbott called them, from the nighttime parking meters of Augusta, Georgia, to the stoic potato farmers of Aroostook County. The images from Miami are among the richest and moodiest, their greenish light dense and saturated with heat and humidity.
"Photographs by Todd Webb" at Aucocisco. Todd Webb's pictures of New York are the kind that make you hear the rumble of the city and smell its steam and dust, as if a window to the past had just been thrown open. The New York pictures are mostly from the late 1940s, and their characters are mostly gone now: Maisie, queen of the Bowery, in her fur-tail hat; the peanut man with his cart; the tough boys of Fulton Street. The clarity of the urban light is breathtaking, the city's vertical mass imposing and inspiring. In a quieter, more solitary mood, the show also offers an intimate look at Webb's friend Georgia O'Keefe in New Mexico, sketching a canyon wall in a mud-splattered skirt and relaxing with her two big, fluffy dogs. Webb, who died this year, deserves to rank with the greats.
"Figures, Flora and Fauna" at Radiant Light Gallery. Radiant Light is off the beaten path, on the third floor of the Congress Building, and if Tipper Gore was running the Artwalk, it might be the place to get slapped with a parental warning label. Director Thom Adams specializes in figurative photography, because artists have trouble showing it, he says. That means lots and lots of nudes, especially in the natural landscape, in a tradition that stretches from Michelangelo to Bruce Weber. In the strongest images, including those by Karin Rosenthal and Frank Yamrus, the body is abstracted and mysterious: curving male chest as mountain range; knees, rounded by their reflection in water into alien pods.
"She3: New Work by Carey McDougall, Diane Wiencke and Nancy Kureth" at Local 188. You can fuel up on tapas while you check out this three-woman show, which ranges engagingly from the dark to the delicate. McDougall makes ceramic dresses, and cloth ones dipped in wax and set in plaster, and her titles make whimsical reference to the inner lives of women: "Walking on Water after her Wedding," "Wishing for Tallness." Kureth, too, uses dress imagery to clothe emotions, in "Ghost Dress," where a delicate paper cutout is framed by a sturdy box, and in the poetic, melancholy "Her dress of words #1." The text of the latter is written in white ink inside an old drawer. Then there's the seductive pull of Wiencke's dark, stained-glass paintings, where muddied fruit slices of crimson, yellow, and orange build to bull's eye spirals.
"Mechanical Music by Christopher Keister" at Cafe Uffa. Keister also uses the circle-in-a-circle of the bull's eye, taking such a pared-down approach that the viewer can almost hear the pitch of the art free-falling to silence. The young Portland artist has written of these paintings that their repetition and precision reflect his interest in clock faces. He stresses the importance of restrictions in their composition -- limited forms, a limited palette, and an absence of value changes. These black, olive, red, and cream rings could be mechanical diagrams stripped of all their details, and the circles and dots, matte and impenetrable, keep all their secrets.
"Rachael Eastman: Face, Facade and Portal" at the Hay Gallery. Eastman's soft, luminous paintings are indebted to the old Italian masters, and their patchy surfaces and golden-brown palette make them look as if they could be time-worn Renaissance artifacts. There are dream-portraits of old and young women who might be saints or sibyls, and in visual language poised between the religious and romantic, she records portals -- doors and windows in a spare, pale, and clouded emotional landscape. "Far and Near" is simple but powerful, a study of two doors, one close and the other receding into the distance. "Boy" has the approximated exactness of a Da Vinci drawing. Not everything is romance. "Scream," a blurred face, has the ambiguous angst of the version by Edvard Munch.

Lady Bulldogs Look for 24th Straight over Alabama
Jan. 25, 2014
Starting five
Lady Bulldogs Trek To Tuscaloosa
The Georgia Lady Bulldogs return to action on Sunday following an open date from SEC play on Thursday. Georgia will face Alabama at 2:00 p.m. CT in a CSS regionally televised match-up also available on espn3.com. Matt Stewart and Joe Ciampi will handle play-by-play and color analyst roles, respectively.
Georgia is 14-5 overall and 2-4 in SEC play. The Lady Bulldogs raced to an 11-0 start - equaling the seventh-best beginning in school history - and climbed as high as No. 15 in the national polls before losing five of their next six and their first four SEC outings. Georgia has since bounced back with consecutive wins over Arkansas and Florida.
Shacobia Barbee supplanted classmate Tiaria Griffin as the Lady Bulldogs' leading scorer during a 17-point performance against Arkansas. Barbee now paces Georgia in scoring (12.2 ppg), rebounding (7.8 rpg), assists (3.5 apg) and steals (an SEC-leading 2.7 spg). Griffin (11.2 ppg) and Khaalidah Miller (10.8 ppg) also supply points at a double-digit pace.
In SEC action, Barbee and Krista Donald offer almost identical team-high stats. Barbee's 11.8 ppg is a single point better than Donald's 11.7 ppg, while both are averaging 6.7 rpg.
Alabama is 9-10 overall and also is off to a 2-4 start in SEC action. The Crimson Tide is coming off a 57-55 win at No. 9 Kentucky on Thursday and did so without leading scorer Shafontaye Myers in the lineup.
Daisha Simmons' game-high 21 points in Lexington upped her season average to 14.0 ppg. Myers is currently contributing 15.1 ppg and Ashley Williams chips in 11.2 ppg and a team-high 5.8 rpg.

The Last Meeting
January 31, 2013
Athens, Ga.
Series History versus the Tide
The Lady Bulldogs own a 36-9 lead in their all-time series with Alabama, including a 14-4 mark in Tuscaloosa.
Georgia has won 23 consecutive meetings with the Crimson Tide, last losing in 1998 in Tuscaloosa during the freshman season of Coco and Kelly Miller.
Georgia swept both ends of a home-and-home series last season, winning 95-83 in Tuscaloosa on Jan. 10 and 65-59 in Athens on Jan. 31.
In Athens, six different Georgia players scored eight or more points to lead the Lady Bulldogs to victory. Khaalidah Miller and Jasmine Hassell led the Lady Bulldogs with 11 and 10 points, respectively.
The Lady Bulldogs used a 10-0 run to open up a 14-point lead with just over 12 minutes remaining. Georgia led by as many as 17 points before the Crimson Tide mounted a comeback.
Alabama used an 8-0 run to come within four but failed on four chances to pull closer.
The victory in Athens represented the 850th "W" in the history of Lady Bulldog Basketball, making UGA the 10th Division I women's hoops program to reach that milestone.
In the last meeting in Tuscaloosa, Hassell scored 21 points and Tiaria Griffin added 20 to lead five Lady Bulldogs in double figures.
After leading by five at the half, Georgia used a 16-4 spurt to expand the margin to 58-44 with 14:59 remaining.
The Crimson Tide closed the gap to single digits just once thereafter, at 66-57, but the Lady Bulldogs responded with an 8-0 spurt to quickly regain solid separation.
The 95 points not only represented Georgia's highest offensive output of 2012-13, it also qualified as its largest number in SEC play in nearly a decade...to the day. The last time Georgia scored more points in league action was a 105-62 win over Florida on Jan. 12, 2003.
Last Time out...
Erika Ford poured in a career-high 23 points to lead four Lady Bulldogs in double figures as Georgia rallied past Florida, 68-62, last Sunday.
The Lady Bulldogs outscored the Gators 15-9 in the game's waning moments.
"We talked about that with about two-three minutes remaining," Andy Landers said. "We've been in that position before. We've been in that position in our first two SEC road games at Vanderbilt and Missouri. Both of those were winnable games but we didn't play well enough down the stretch. Today, hopefully, we grew up some."
Georgia, which ranks last in the SEC in free throw percentage, shot a season-best 88.9 percent. The Lady Bulldogs connected on 16-of-18 free throws, including 11-of-12 in the final 5:34 after the game was tied 53-53.
Florida scored the game's first seven points over the opening 1:25 and maintained a comfortable lead for the remainder of the period.
Georgia got within two points four times in the second half before finally knotting the score at 43-43 on a Krista Donald jumper with 10:52 left. Florida regained a 47-43 lead before a Shacobia Barbee layup and a Khaalidah Miller 3-pointer gave the Lady Bulldogs their first lead at 49-48.
Following three lead changes, the Gators tied the score at 53-53. Merritt Hempe then hit two free throws to open UGA's decisive surge.
Barbee leads here, there, everywhere
Shacobia Barbee now leads Georgia - average wise - in scoring (12.3 ppg), rebounding (7.8 rpg), assists (3.8 apg) and steals (2.7 spg).
Barbee is the only player in the SEC to currently lead her team in all four categories.
In fact, Barbee is one of just seven Division I women's basketball players nationally entering this weekend leading their team in ppg, rpg, apg and spg as outlined below.
For the record - and to probably totally jinx Barbee's chances to do so - no player has ever led UGA in all four statistics for a season.
Team-Leading Performers
Crenshaw, Mosley know Bama well
Georgia associate head coach Joni Crenshaw and assistant coach Robert Mosley have strong ties to the Alabama program.
Crenshaw played for the Crimson Tide from 1997-98 and was captain of the 2000-01 squad. She was a significant contributor to teams that reached post-season play during each of her four seasons in Tuscaloosa, advancing to the 1998 and 1999 NCAA Tournaments and the 2000 and 2001 WNITs.
All told, Crenshaw scored 716 points, grabbed 555 rebounds and blocked 103 shots, a tally which ranks No. 4 all-time among the Crimson Tide's career leaders.
Mosley was an assistant coach for the Crimson Tide from 2010-12 before joining the UGA staff in the summer of 2012.
Prior to moving to the collegiate level, Mosley led Ramsay High in Birmingham to four state championships between 2004-10. During that span, he coached UGA graduate assistant manager Katherine Graham and former Alabama player Kaneisha Horn.
Taking advantage of the charity
Although Georgia ranks 14th in the SEC and 327th in the nation in free throw percentage, you wouldn't think so after watching the Lady Bulldogs' last 41:46 of basketball.
For the season, Georgia has made just 216-of-257 attempts at the charity stripe, a paltry percentage of 60.5.
The Lady Bulldogs are 24-of-28 - a sizzling 85.7 percent - in the aforementioned span, which includes the final 106 seconds against Arkansas and the entire game at Florida.
Georgia held off the Razorbacks by hitting 8-of-10 FTs in the final 1:46 and then connected on 16-of-18 free throws - including 11-of-12 in the final 5:34 - in Gainesville.
Andy Landers' confidence in his players' ability to convert at the line never wavered, largely due to what he saw in practice on a daily basis.
"We shoot them great in practice just about every day," Landers said. "I didn't think it was broke. I just thought it was something a young team needed to get comfortable with in games. We shoot a good percentage in practice. I know we have good strokes."
Lady Bulldogs fall from polls
After being ranked as high as No. 16 by the Associated Press and No. 15 in the USA Today coaches poll in December, Georgia dropped out of both rankings on Jan. 13 after losing its first four SEC outings.
That marked the first time the Lady Bulldogs were not ranked by the Associated Press since the end of the 2010-11 campaign and snapped a streak of 50 consecutive weeks in AP ledgers.
Georgia has a long history of AP rankings. The Lady Bulldogs' first poll appearance came in the preseason edition prior to the 1981-82 season, the same campaign that women's intercollegiate athletics came under the auspices of the NCAA. That also was the fifth year the AP published a women's college basketball poll.
Despite that half-decade gap prior from the poll's beginning to UGA's first ranking, Georgia and Andy Landers rank No. 2 in poll appearances by a school and coach, respectively.
Since 1981-82, the Lady Bulldogs have been included in 509 of 587 weekly Associated Press polls, or 86.7 percent of those released.
Of those weeks, Georgia was featured in the top-10 of 268 polls, 45.7 percent of the rankings released during that span.
Multi-game losing skids rare for UGA
Georgia's four-game losing streak was the second-longest in Andy Landers' 35 seasons and 1,115 games coached for Georgia.
Just nine times during Landers' tenure has UGA dropped three straight. In seven of those occasions, Georgia successfully snapped the skid in its next outing. The only five-game stretch of "Ls" came between Feb. 5-22, 2009.
Turning defense into offense
Through 11 games, the Lady Bulldogs possessed a healthy +141 (+12.8 ppg) edge on their opponents in points off TOs.
In the stretch when Georgia lost five of six outings, opponents outpaced Georgia 118-91 (-4.5 ppg) in points from giveaways.
That was a relatively significant swing of 17.3 ppg.
"The cause, I think, has just been a lack of discipline," Andy Landers said following a Jan. 2 loss at Vanderbilt. "We've turned it over excessively. They haven't been forced turnovers. It has been, at times, decision making and at other times it has just been poor execution of fundamental passing and catching."
In wins over Arkansas and Florida, Georgia owns a 35-33 edge on points from TOs.
Miller tops millennium, moves up more
Khaalidah Miller became Lady Bulldog Basketball's 35th 1,000-point scorer during the Nov. 19 victory over Furman.
The Atlanta native has since moved up to No. 27 among Georgia's career scoring leaders and enters the Alabama game 11 points shy of current No. 26 Sherelle Warren.
Miller's ascension went into overdrive at Vanderbilt when she moved from No. 31 to No. 28. With 16 points against the Commodores, Miller passed No. 30 Pam Irwin-Osbolt, No. 29 Carla Green and No. 28 Cynthia Collins.
FYI, Green is now Dr. Carla Williams and an Executive Associate Athletic Director and Senior Woman Administrator for the UGA Athletic Association and the envy of every former Lady Bulldog...as Andy Landers' boss.
Lady Bulldogs hit "Magic Number"
Georgia has reached the 80-point plateau five times this season and, in the process, improved perhaps the greatest statistical indicator other than wins and losses.
The Lady Bulldogs are now 430-6 when scoring 80 or more points during Andy Landers' 35 seasons in Athens. That equates to a winning percentage of 98.623853211009.
Georgia scored 80-plus points in three consecutive outings against Belmont, Kennesaw State and Lipscomb, the first time UGA has done so since the first three games of 2007-08 - 81-53 vs. Richmond, 84-56 vs. George Mason and 105-66 vs. Georgia Southern.
Freshman Starter sorority grows
Andy Landers has continued his long-standing penchant of starting freshmen.
Sydnei McCaskill got the nod against Presbyterian to become the 73rd freshman to start during Landers' 35 seasons at UGA and the 23rd do so in her Lady Bulldog debut. McCaskill played all 40 minutes, joining Coco Miller as the only Lady Bulldog freshmen to play every second of their collegiate opener.
Halle Washington became No. 74 on Georgia's freshman starter ledger five games later against S.C. State.
Eight current Lady Bulldogs - senior Khaalidah Miller; juniors Krista Donald and Erika Ford; sophomores Shacobia Barbee, Tiaria Griffin and Merritt Hempe; and freshmen McCaskill and Washington - all started as freshmen.
Barbee is one of the 23 freshmen to start their collegiate opener.

May 08, 2010
Our venue has a preferred vendor list and Amos was one of them. They sent out a special lighting package for our venue which I thought was a reasonable price. I contacted them and asked if I could get a customized package since I was only looking for some uplighting and breakout pattern (nothing too elaborate). They were willing to work with my budget and so I decided to contract with them. I booked them early on, and when it was getting closer to the wedding, I still had not heard from them regarding choosing the color and the breakout pattern. I contacted them and apparently the person that I was working with was no longer with the company. I ended up working directly with Jody, the owner, who was very nice and helpful. On the day of, they came and setup and the lights were beautiful. They also worked very seamlessly, I didn't even know when they came to setup and when they did the breakdown, all I knew was I had beautiful lighting and it was gone by the time I left the venue :)

We were looking for a place to get our wedding bands and a couple of friends recommended Derco. We went there on a weekend and Derco was packed. I almost didn't want to wait but then decided to wait a little longer. If a place is that packed, they must be doing something right. We finally met with a consultant who was very helpful. They were able to custom make our rings within a reasonable time for us based on what we described, and they turned out beautiful. Pricing was also reasonable. They were also very good with cleaning my ring every time we visited. Overall we're very happy with them.

Edith Meyer Wedding Cakes
I love cakes and desserts, so I know that I had to find a really great cake vendor for my wedding. We went to a couple cake places but I was not blown away by any of them. I came across Edith's website one day and loved her philosophy: organic, fresh ingredients, fair trade chocolate, homegrown lemon, etc. I contacted her about tasting and noted that she charges a fee for tasting, but that it would be absorbed as part of the wedding cake cost if you end up booking with her. The tasting was set at her cute house. The ambiance was really nice! (she set background music playing while we taste). I could totally taste how FRESH her cake was. I have always wanted a red velvet cake for my wedding, and as soon as she told me that she doesn't use food coloring and instead uses beets/radishes for the red color, I was SOLD! Cake was absolutely delicious and Edith was a pleasure to work with.

Luxe Image Hair and Makeup
Ever since I got in touch with Rona, I knew something felt right. Her prices were wonderful and she replied to email almost instantaneously (which I LOVED - and trust me this is not the norm with wedding vendors). I read reviews about her and noted nothing but glowing reviews. I booked her and I knew my family will be in great hands during the wedding day. On the wedding day, I only met her briefly but she was such a sweetheart. My family looked wonderful and they told me they really enjoyed Rona and her assistant. I highly recommend Rona if you are looking for a great, reliable, reasonably priced make up artist!

Sherrie Long Hair & Makeup
Sherrie is also another vendor that I found from a friend's recommendation. I checked out her website and was blown away by her portfolio. She does makeup for Hollywood artists and fashion magazines, so I was almost immediately sold :) Her name was also mentioned a couple of times on various wedding forums so I knew she must be pretty good. What sold me was after I saw her makeup on two fellow Project Wedding brides, I LOVED how their hair and makeup looked. I booked her early on (even prior to our trial) since she books really fast. She really listened to me while also providing input based on her experience on what would work best with my features. I got married during a pretty windy day and the hair stayed up the whole night! She also had this spray that made the makeup stay the whole night. Her makeup also photographs really well. I highly recommend Sherrie!

Tanjeeryn Designs
When I was looking for a florist, a friend of mine recommended Jeeryn. I set up a meeting with her and knew almost immediately that I wanted to go with her. She has this very calm persona and I felt that she was able to get my vision. After our meeting, she sent a quote that thoroughly described all the things we discussed. I felt that I was in safe hands since sometimes most vendors forget a lot of things that were discussed. I changed my mind many many times during the planning process, but Jeeryn was very patient and updated the contracts accordingly. I also really appreciated her responsiveness. Every time I sent an email, it seemed like she replied very promptly (which is rare for wedding vendors). The day of, the flowers were so beautiful! We got sooo many compliments. I highly recommend Jeeryn!

The Unique Bride
I really loved my experience at Unique, from beginning to end. Julie was my consultant and she's so sweet and very helpful. Unique was the third bridal salon I visited during my wedding gown search, so I already had an idea of what I was looking for. In fact, I already fell in love with 2 dresses which they both carried. Julie was really patient during the whole visit, allowing me to try the 2 dresses, plus a lot more so I could be sure of my decision. It was here that I realized that my dress was the one. The dress came on time, and when I tried it on they realized that there were loops with no buttons (not their fault), and they took care of the mistake which was really the manufacturer's mistake at no cost (even though I was not doing my alterations there).

I have been looking for a unique Save The Date idea for a while but have not been able to find one that I really like. One day when I was browsing a wedding planner's blog, I came across a very unique & personalized Save The Date @ PosePrints. I thought the idea was so cute, and I love the idea that I can personalize the "poses". Before placing my order, I contacted Jen with a couple questions. She replied to my email very quickly, and answered all my questions. I placed the order, and I even asked for a couple customizable features for me & my fiance, and Jen was able to incorporate my requests into the magnets. I asked for a final proof before the final printing, and she did just that to make sure I agreed with the final product. The overall process was very stress-free. I highly recommend Jen and PosePrints if you are looking for a cute customizable Save The Dates. She does other fun invitations also (for bridal showers, bachelorette parties, etc).

When you work with these girls they have a tendency to tell you a lot of personal details. Kate was no exception. We were talking while she was in make-up and I asked her if she liked to masturbate. She said, "Who didn't?" I can't argue there. As the conversation progressed, I asked her if [...]

Date of Stay: July, 2010
There aren't many choices in silicon valley but this one meets the basic needs. First off, don't even try to go in without reservations. They are required and they take only cash and checks - no credit cards. The campsites are all long and laid out so even a big rig with slides can fit. We had 30 amp power and there was no on/off switch so it was a hot connection. But the power worked fine (we did have an autoformer on the line), the water was fine and the dump was conveniently located. The park is mostly full of long timers but their sites are neat and clean and everybody seemed friendly. It appears like they can take about 20 transients and the park was not full when we were there. There are no public restrooms or showers other than the pool shower. Yes there is a pool. Management is friendly and casual. Although it's in an industrial area, we didn't hear much noise from the area. Diesel fuel is available a block away once you figure out how to get in and out of the station. Walking west across the freeway is not recommended but in the other direction there are nice sidewalks and light industrial buildings. There's a terrific super market with a butcher shop about a mile up the road. Next time we are visiting the bay area we will stay here again.
Date of Stay: July, 2010
This campground is right in the middle between the Los Angeles area and the San Francisco bay area. So it's in a perfect location to stop half way. There's nothing fancy about the park but the spaces can accommodate a big rig with slides and the pull through sites are long enough to keep a tow vehicle hooked up. The manager is very nice and seems to work 24/7. The power and water were good with no issues. It's about 10 miles south of Harris Ranch so in our case it worked out for a dinner date. We will stay here again the next time we want to break up our trip.
Date of Stay: July, 2010
In 15 years of motorhoming primarily around California, this is the worst campground I have ever been in. For years our motorhome club has been going to this campground because we love the Ventura area and so we have tolerated the RV park. This year put us over the edge and we'll never return. First of all, the management has no clue how to run an RV park. During the 18 months since we booked our club in, they have lost our contract twice and we have had to send the signed version to them - remember - this contract was issued by them. When our wagon masters contacted the park about 2 months before our outing they told us that they had no reservations for us and no records of us - this after we sent them their own contract twice. They are charging us $ 66 a night - a price that normally would guarantee a first rate RV park. What we experienced was a park totally overrun by tents. 20' feet in front of our row of 12 nice motorhomes, we looked at an estimated 100 tent campers complete with kids that ran through our campsites, dozens of bicyclists weaving all over (without helmets), skateboarders (even some with motors), huge piles of garbage strewn about and noise late into the night. Although, I must say that their noise was somewhat muted by the constant roar of the freeway overhead. One of our members who has a seriously damaged back rode his small electric scooter to the office to buy an ice cream and he was told that scooters are not allowed and to not ride it again (but bicycles, skate boards, motorcycles are allowed). There was even a Pit Bull that lunged at anybody walking in the area and when we complained the management told us that there were no Pit Bulls. So the bottom line is that as much as we like the Ventura area, our club will not be back. And I concur with the previous poster regarding the vandalism and homeless situation. We even had one member's chained bicycle stolen.
Date of Stay: April, 2010
This is one of our favorite campgrounds. Our favorite spots are high up above the lake where we spend our early evenings enjoying the setting sun behind the hills. There is that magic moment when the sky lights up just before nightfall and the reflection on the lake is breathtaking. Every campsite is wide with full hookups. There is well kept grass everywhere and the park is very well maintained. If there's any downside it's that Brackett airport is next door which does result in a lot of air traffic. However, it's kind of fun to watch the various planes, helicopters and occasionally blimps fly in and out. They also close the airport overnight so air traffic doesn't affect sleeping. We have been to this park multiple times both alone and with our club. The staff are friendly and the view spectacular.
Date of Stay: January, 2010
We have been to this wonderful RV park multiple times both alone and with our motorhome club. In fact, we spend every New Years Eve there utilizing the fantastic clubhouse. There is nothing to criticize about this park. The sites are long and wide. The Wi-Fi works well. The hookups are modern. The staff are well trained and very customer friendly. And, of course, it's located right in the middle of the California central coast wine country. We will be returning with 30 motorhomes next New Years for our annual 5 day outing. And we expect to drop in a couple of times alone. I can't recommend an RV park more.

Passing The Buck On Beach Issues
Politicians love to pass the buck, to point out that somebody other than themselves is responsible for some transgression of the public good. That is the case with the seminal beach access problem that Rockaway faced for the past two beach seasons and will probably face in the summer to come. Actually, there are two separate issues at play. The first is the issue of access hours, the time that people can use the beach and boardwalk. That is strictly a city issue and it could be changed with a stroke of the pen by the city's Commissioner of Parks and Recreation, Adrian Benepe. You'll remember Benepe. He's the one that said that Rockaway's beaches were too dangerous for the normal activities allowed at all the other city parks. City Councilman Joe Addabbo, the chair of the council's Parks Committee, says that he is working with Benepe to increase the hours that residents can use the beach and boardwalk. Of course, those talks have been ongoing for almost two years to no avail, so we don't dare expect that this summer will be any different from last, except for the fact that NYPD Captain Charles Talamo, who many believe enforced the draconian beach rules with the zeal of a Torquemada, has gone to another precinct. The rules stand, however. Off the beach by 9 p.m. Off the boardwalk by 10 p.m. Those are ridiculous rules for any beach community, and Addabbo must work with Benepe to change them. The other issue, whether to allow surfing and fishing, is more complicated. The state clearly allows municipalities such as New York City to set areas for those activities. The city, however, inundated by law suits, wants the state to make the Sanitary Laws (which control the beach rules) clearer, specifically giving the city permission to set up separate, surf at your own risk, areas. The state has been working on changing the law for more than a year. It is time for our Assemblymembers, Audrey Pheffer and Michelle Titus, to get it done. They will obviously need the help of State Senator Malcolm Smith, if he is back from his junket to India in time to provide help. It is time for all of our legislators, both city and state, to stop passing the buck to each other and to get the deal done. Our beaches are Rockaway's most important natural resource. We can't take a third summer of being knocked around for making use of that resource.

A Treatise of Human Nature HTML version
Before I leave this subject I shall employ the same principles to explain that distinction of
reason, which is so much talked of, and is so little understood, in the schools. Of this kind
is the distinction betwixt figure and the body figured; motion and the body moved. The
difficulty of explaining this distinction arises from the principle above explained, that all
ideas, which are different, are separable. For it follows from thence, that if the figure be
different from the body, their ideas must be separable as well as distinguishable: if they
be not different, their ideas can neither be separable nor distinguishable. What then is
meant by a distinction of reason, since it implies neither a difference nor separation.
To remove this difficulty we must have recourse to the foregoing explication of abstract
ideas. It is certain that the mind would never have dreamed of distinguishing a figure
from the body figured, as being in reality neither distinguishable, nor different, nor
separable; did it not observe, that even in this simplicity there might be contained many
different resemblances and relations. Thus when a globe of white marble is presented, we
receive only the impression of a white colour disposed in a certain form, nor are we able
to separate and distinguish the colour from the form. But observing afterwards a globe of
black marble and a cube of white, and comparing them with our former object, we find
two separate resemblances, in what formerly seemed, and really is, perfectly inseparable.
After a little more practice of this kind, we begin to distinguish the figure from the colour
by a distinction of reason; that is, we consider the figure and colour together, since they
are in effect the same and undistinguishable; but still view them in different aspects,
according to the resemblances, of which they are susceptible. When we would consider
only the figure of the globe of white marble, we form in reality an idea both of the figure
and colour, but tacitly carry our eye to its resemblance with the globe of black marble:
And in the same manner, when we would consider its colour only, we turn our view to its
resemblance with the cube of white marble. By this means we accompany our ideas with
a kind of reflection, of which custom renders us, in a great measure, insensible. A person,
who desires us to consider the figure of a globe of white marble without thinking on its
colour, desires an impossibility but his meaning is, that we should consider the figure and
colour together, but still keep in our eye the resemblance to the globe of black marble, or
that to any other globe of whatever colour or substance.

Last night Palmer showed up at Kay Hanley's solo gig at the Lizard Lounge, and the two performed a loose duet on one of Palmer's new favorite covers, the old ragtime standard "Makin' Whoopee." Everyone knows we can't resist these two separately, let alone together, singing a song about fucking. OMFG. I can't believe they didn't invite us.

text: I have a degree in Business with a concentration in Finance, so I am equipped to understand the world of investing, but I also want to help clients feel good about the process of creating their financial plan. To help me do that part of my job better I study books on decision-making. In the Paradox of Choice author Barry Schwartz explains that there are several stumbling blocks to making good decisions. Some of them we control, some is the result of too much choice.MaximizersVs.SatisfiersMaximizers vs. Satisfiers- There are two basic kinds of decisions makers. Maximizers are those of us who want the perfect, only the best choice in their decision. They are plagued by fears that they have not seen all there is to see so they cannot have seen the 'right' choice yet. When they finally make a decision they fret and worry that there were better choices out in the world they have missed so even after their decision they are depressed and dissatisfied.Satisfiers have high standards in their decision-making but they believe that their choice is a good one and they let any belief in what else might have been purchased or decided upon, slip away and they rejoice in their choice.The paradox Schwartz refers to in the title is that when we are presented with 6 choices, 30% of people can make a decision and follow through on their choice. But when we are faced with 24 choices of an item, like chocolate, only 3% of people buy. The 'freedom of choice' is many times a tie that binds.Why discuss this in a finance section? Investment decision are critical to your retirement future and the book explains how folks decide – very unscientifically- for their investment plans. Overwhelmed and trying to do what is 'right' people put a small amount in each investment choice. That wasn't the reasoning in offering those options. Doing nothing because you are overwhelmed is another common thing I see as an advisor. Decide today to seek help and partner with an advisor who will wisely assist you in planning you financial future. Marion R. Syversen, MBA – [email protected]com

Can Zena Malek Give Arab Cities An Identity?
Architect Zena Malek's "loudly-expressed conviction that developers need to think about 'concepts' in cities is starting to pay dividends."
"...Considering this region has some of the world's fastest growing economies, now is the time to make the most of new opportunities. But nobody, absolutely nobody, is doing that, she argues."
"...'People all around the Arab world just assume that it is very expensive to do a concept. But then many people just have lazy minds. Some of them try to pretend they are leaders when they are not. When I go and sit in a building in Dubai Marina it feels exactly the same as sitting in a building in Diera. There is no new experience for me. Let us not pretend these are new concepts. All of our Arabic cities just have no identity,' she sighs."
...Another of Malek's projects is the creation of a piece of software, which looks set to revolutionise the mass-production and design of buildings as well as the way architects interact with their clients.
The programme, known as Sakani software, enables different configurations of houses, buildings, restaurants and facilities to be built through mass production methods. This means an entire housing development can be designed with each unit receiving an individual configuration."

Hey Rob, we have crossed a few state lines and are vacationing in southern Missouri, in the foothills of the Ozark mtns. . Having a great time but haven't caught any fish yet. I think Mac is having the best time of all! I remember having squishy shoes when we used to play golf at Kensington at 6 a.m.. I would be home sleeping on the couch by 11 though so it's really not the same thing. Anyway, keep on trucking!

So what state has the motto "Live free or die.?" If you guessed New Hampshire you'd be correct, and that's also my new current location! Crossed the Connecticut River at midday and celebrated entering my 13th state. Just one more state line to cross. We all know which state that'll be.
Woke up this morning to a deer or moose snorting and trampling outside in the woods, but in my mid-morning daze I didn't have the desire to go check it out. Ah well. I was ecstatic over the fact that it didn't rain overnight and things looked DRY. Barely know the meaning of that word anymore. Of course as soon as I started hiking, a couple of grassy fields took care of my dryish shoes. There's something special about hiking in soaking wet shoes and socks for nearly a week straight.
Along the hike down into West Hartford, VT I take a pretty majestic fall. I was going downhill rather fast and caught a shoe on a root and my feet lagged behind my body leaving me literally just supported by my hiking poles. This situation was not sustainable (much like our addiction to fossil fuels, BAM didn't see that one coming did ya?) and I slammed my face into the ground well downhill with my pack landing on the back of my head. I took an immediate break for five. It seems the longer I hike the more falls I've been having. Back when I was a newbie I never fell but now it's about once a day. This better not happen in the Whites too or I'll be down in a heap at the bottom of a cliff. Goodness.
Mid-morning I arrive in West Hartford VT where there is a little convenience store RIGHT ON the trail. Needless to say I stopped in for a second breakfast. Delicious. Crossed the White River and then a couple hours later I arrive in Norwich, VT. Hiking down past some houses a nice family had put out a cooler of trail magic: watermelon, banana bread, and chocolate. Lovely, much thanks to the "Brains." their son was once a thru hiker, I'm sure he is influential in getting them to do that. In this same spot I met "Red" Matt who was from East Lansing, MI. It was his first day on the trail.
Then it was time to get outta VT and cross the Connecticut! Motorists must have thought it a bit odd to see me taking pictures of the bridge (or maybe that I was a terrorist) and then literally yelling and throwing up my arms when I crossed the line. (also shouting rude things about VT, amongst them, that their ice cream is overrated... GASP!!)
Hanover NH is home to Dartmouth College and hikers are allowed to use the Internet and hang out in Robinson Hall. I take advantage and then eat my lunch on the "Green". This very much reminds me of my time at Kalamazoo College, except honestly K's campus is somewhat more attractive. Our quad area being covered by trees is a really nice feature that no other schools seem to use...despite how old their buildings are. I might be biased on this subject though.
One thing that wasn't in doubt was the presence of many very attractive young women. Since I haven't seen a female thruhiker since PA, you can imagine this was a bit of a jolt.
Picked up the other segment of my trekking pole at the outiftter (thanks Leki!) and got a free slice of pizza at the local pizzeria :) before hiking on.
The first hill out of town (especially after resupply) was tough but the next 4 or so were easy. I was picked up at the road crossing to head to "Tiggers Treehouse" a neat little donations only hostel. Really nice cool people with a bunch of rambunctious dogs running around! I watch TV, shower, do laundry, play some piano, and eat ice cream until bedtime. Somehow in town the late hours come so fast, thanks to the presence of electricity
Anyhow it was a real rush to hit the state line. I wasn't the biggest fan of VT and ready for a change in pace. The mtns here will slow me down a lot, which is probably good since I haven't done under 20 in a long time.
Thanks for all the wonderful comments and words of encouragement. I hope you all know how helpful they are. Sometimes while hiking I think of all the people out there that are rooting for me. The positive energy gets me through the rough times (ie when my feet are going squish squish squish)
Take care

Operation: make organic beer
Former SEALs launch first-of-its-kind SD brewery
Ian Anderson 5 p.m., May 22
Roughly 450 stockholders filled the tiered Irwin M. Jacobs Hall at 5775 Morehouse Drive on Tuesday, March 2, for Qualcomm's annual stockholders' meeting.
Chairman/CEO Paul Jacobs presented statistics pertaining to Qualcomm's fiscal 2009 performance, the company's expanding partner relationships, a new $3 billion stock-repurchase program, and industry trends.
Some of Qualcomm's foreseen trends involve the sale of higher-end Smartphones (which are expected to exceed all computer shipments by 2011) and 3GCMA technology required for mobile broadband.
"Still some caution with regards to the economy, however, we expect the market to grow 20 percent in 2010," said Jacobs. "We have a strong balance sheet and cash flow…up to 19 billion in significant gains."
A meeting attendee later said, "Yes, I want to know what's going on with the company and am happy to hear of their successes, but, honestly, I come for the extravagant breakfast buffet." The stockholder then wrapped up a bit of extra food and stuffed it inside her purse.

OMG!! OMG!! OMG!! I can't believe my mom was actually dumb enough to let my brother buy this with his allowance money. She took him to the mall and they went into a novelty store that sells joke stuff and well my bro picked out this alarm clock. What does it do you ask? It is supposedly an alarm clock with the worlds loudest alarm and after hearing it just now I am sure they're right. I am deaf in one ear and partially in the other and that thing still made my ears ring and made me jump when it went off.
I just know he's going to be a real ass with this thing to me.

How do I manage my cat's claws if I do not have her declawed?
Because the declawing procedure is actually an amputation, some cat parents are choosing to skip this part of the kitten phase. Cats have nails (claws) that grow very quickly into a sharp point. These are very easy to trim. Start when your kitten comes home with frequent nail trims. You can use a regular nail cutter or a specially designed pet nail trimmer. Ask your veterinarian to show you how when your kitten goes in for a checkup.
Keeping the nails trimmed will prevent scratches on you or your furniture! Trim them frequently and everyone will be happy. Some cats really enjoy scratching on scratching posts, especially those wrapped with sisal rope. If you have a sisal rug, I would not recommend a sisal scratching post as your cat may not know the difference. Cats like to stretch up and put their claws in and pull down. My technique for trimming – sit in a chair in a quiet place and lay the kitty on her back in my lap. Hold each paw and squeeze gently to get the claw to extend and then trim off the sharp hook on the end. If you do this often, the sharp hook will not be that long.
This section features current events in the veterinary world and information about pet care that is timely – such as holiday hazards around the holidays or dental care during the month of February. If you would like to see a particular topic, please use our contact form and choose 'General Feedback, Other'.

A single-celled alga has evolved a crude form of multicellularity in the lab – a configuration it never adopts in nature – giving researchers a chance to replay one of life's most important evolutionary leaps in real time.
This is the second time researchers have coaxed a single-celled organism into becoming multicellular – two years ago, the same was done with brewers yeast. But the alga is an entirely different organism, and comparing the two could explain how the transition to multicellular life happened a billion years ago.
Multicellularity has evolved at least 20 times since life first began, but no organisms have made the leap in the past 200 million years, so the process is difficult to study. To replicate the step in the lab, Will Ratcliff, an evolutionary biologist at the Georgia Institute of Technology in Atlanta, and colleagues grew 10 cultures of a single-celled alga, Chlamydomonas reinhardtii. Every three days, they centrifuged each culture gently and used the bottom tenth to found the next generation. Since clusters of cells settle faster than single ones, this meant that they effectively selected for algal cells that had a tendency to clump together.

Benoit Pouliot feeling better, hopes to play better
|11.02.11 at 2:54 pm ET
Benoit Pouliot has been back on the ice for a few days now, but it's probably too early to say he was a healthy scratch Tuesday against the Senators.
Pouliot, who was sick, first missed practice on Friday due to an illness, and he did not travel with the B's to Montreal for Saturday's game. He returned to practice Monday, took part in Tuesday's optional morning skate with the scratches and did not play Tuesday. It was unknown at the time whether Pouliot was sitting as a healthy scratch or whether he still wasn't ready. Asked Wednesday, the 25-year-old said it was the latter.
"Personally, no," Pouliot said when asked whether he was healthy enough to play. "I didn't feel right and I gotta get some reps in and the cardio in and feel better. When you're not doing much, you use everything and I just gotta get back on track and I feel good."
The Bruins will next play Saturday in Toronto. That's a good thing for Pouliot, who will take all the days he can get as he works to get his legs and conditioning back. He said he first started to feel under the weather during the week last week and felt especially bad during Thursday's game against the Canadiens.
"It was tough. it was a long one," Pouliot said. "Just a bad cold but couple days now, I feel much better and hopefully it was on the right track. A bunch of things just kept me from doing much. I've been sleeping a lot and hanging out on my couch, but it's better."
Pouliot is the only skater on the Bruins' roster to not have a single point this season. He's missed three of the team's 11 games (he was a healthy scratch in the season-opener), but he isn't getting down on himself yet.
"Obviously the points and the stats aren't there, I think everyone knows that," he said. "But I think the way I am working and trying to figure out the systems and everything, I think I'm on the right track. I am doing as much as I can and working as hard as I can and if you work hard enough, things will fall into good places. It's just a matter of getting a point and getting back the confidence and everything should be good."
While he's focused on producing more than he has, a lot of Pouliot's focus has been on fitting into the system here in Boston. The former fourth overall pick is now in with his third different organizations in the last four years, so he came in determined to prove he's capable of fitting in with Claude Julien's squad as a bottom-six guy.
"Coming from Montreal, it was a lot different system wise," he said. "Here, it is a lot different. Everyone stay in your lane, up-and-down, not east-west, north-south. Sometimes I am used to going to support the guy on the other side and then I lose my position completely. That's a thing that I need to learn here and I've talked about it and coach has talked to me about it and it's nice to hear. It's a thing I need to learn but besides that everything is going pretty good."

I have never really figured this one out. Was there a rash of people doing drive bys with slignshots with (and I'll get the quote totally wrong so please forgive me) Those things that go up in the back?
I realize that the wrist band helps make the slingshot more stable, and thus more accurate, but to pass a law banning them.
Is there any law against blow darts? I haven't looked into this one.

This includes GIF, BMP, JPG, AVI, DOC, etc.
What's new in this version:
- A default filename is generated if the first file in the list has a numeric extension (.001, .002, etc.).

Denson chose Ball State over offers from Northern Illinois, Miami and Buffalo.
Denson is a versatile athlete that excels on both sides of the ball, and while he is projected as a DB by some scouting services, he is unsure if he will end up playing corner or in the slot.
With the Cardinals graduating Jamill Smith at the end of this season, the need for a slot receiver is a big one and moving Denson to the slot seems like the most likely landing spot.
Denson was recruited by Ball State Wide Receivers Coach Keith Gaither and he credits his relationship with his future position coach as one of the main reasons he chose Ball State.
Denson recently visited Ball State and took part in the Ball State Coaching Staff's "Super Sunday" recruiting event along with teammate OT Levi Walton. Super Sunday is a one day event in which Ball States highest recruiting targets all came to campus for an unofficial visit. Super Sunday has been quite a success this year as Denson is the third player to commit after attending.
