Coach Skip Prosser of Wake Forest said he wasn't that much of a basketball player during his days at the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy.

I forgot I had this photo lying around
0.o? Youre in it?
Ahh I love your shoes! Where are they from?
A random asian store. They have a bunch of fake Converse that look cool like that
They're on ebay I think too
They're on ebay I think too
I've flipped through that book twice in different stores and I haven't been able to find your stuff in it... Although admittedly I didn't look all that thoroughly, and I was also looking through the Swedish version and I don't know if they've changed stuff for it, but I should hope not. Need to get a better look at it next time. Or better yet, find the real thing and not a translated version.
They're at the back in the 500's page-count-wise
*psssst* switch out the cover with a different book, then no one will know it's twilight.....
switch it with the hichiker's guide book cover.... or harry potter.... or where the wild things are....ANYTHING really.....
I flipped through it in a book shop a few months ago looking for your work! but alas, couldn't find it and didn't want to be laughed at for looking interested in twilight
hahaha yeah, theyre near the back around page 500
Oh my God, I forgot about that! I saw it in the bookstore and I was like 'UGGH MORE TWILIGHT WHY' without picking it up! Next time I will actually look through it.
hahahahaha yeah when it came out I was so embarassed to be seen looking though it to see where my images were
LOL! Airport bookstores FTW! There will come a day soon where we will only be able to buy books in airports...
I seriously almost bought that book, Kat, even though I don't like Twilight at all anymore. For two pictures, I almost bought it.
hahaha dont do that I refused to buy it
Yeah, well, considering it was like $25 for only two pictures and you wouldn't get a cent of it...I just put it back. I'll probably save up for another commission soon though
Love your outfit. you totally look like Alice in Wonderland

Less income inequality and more growth - Are they compatible?
Can both less income inequality and more growth be achieved? A recent OECD study sheds new light on the link between policies that boost growth and the distribution of income. It suggests that there are win-win policy options: raising human capital is key, various labour market reforms can help and taxation can be made more equitable and growth friendly. But there are also reforms that lead to a trade-off between growth and equity.

Handheld metal detectors used for screening patients at airports did not affect pacemakers or implantable cardioverter-defibrillators in 388 people who participated in a recent study, according to a report published Oct. 31 in the Annals of Internal Medicine.
Jilek Clemens, MD, of the electrophysiology department at the German Heart Center in Berlin, and colleagues did not detect any malfunctions of cardiac rhythm devices during or after exposure to handheld metal detectors, according to the study.
"As security measures have intensified in the past decade, metal detectors are routinely used in many settings to detect ferrous items. Metal detectors create a magnetic field that might interfere with the function of cardiac rhythm devices, and patients with pacemakers and ICDs are often advised to avoid screening with metal detectors because of the risk for electromagnetic interference," the authors wrote.
The researchers had previously demonstrated that metal detector gates are safe for patients with cardiac rhythm devices, and aimed to assess the risk associated with handheld devices. The FDA reported 44 instances of possible interference between handheld metal detectors or antitheft protection devices and cardiac rhythm devices between 1988 and 1998.
Clemens and colleagues used two handheld metal detectors commonly used in airport security screening to evaluate their effects on 209 patients with pacemakers and 179 with ICDs. Participants were evaluated to ensure their devices were working properly and then they were swiped with a detector for at least 30 seconds, longer than a normal security screening, according to the report. Investigators then evaluated the participant for any abnormalities in the function of their cardiac devices.
"In the assessment of interference between commonly used handheld metal detectors and carious cardiac rhythm devices in a convenience sample of patients assessed at two medical centers, we found no adverse effects from use of handheld detectors on cardiac device function," wrote Clemens et al. "We aimed to maximize the likelihood of interference by using the highest possible magnetic field of two commonly used handheld metal detectors and by increasing the duration of exposure to 30 seconds per test, which far exceeds the duration of conventional screening."
Researchers acknowledged that their findings cannot be considered definitive because the study used a convenience sample of patients and devices. Additionally, the research was conducted in isolated clinic rooms, and interference may be possible in airports or other security settings.
"We believe that this scenario is unlikely, however, given that the strength of the magnetic fields is inversely related to their distance from the source," the authors wrote. "We encourage device manufacturers and other investigators to repeat our protocol in order to more systematically evaluate the interaction between metal detectors and cardiac rhythm devices, and possibly to confirm these findings."

Wise Guys - August 3, 2013
Some notes from this week's show:
Google's Motorola division releases "Moto X" smartphone
Notable: It has a 10-megapixel camera
Research report claims 80% of smartphones shipped last quarter ran Android
Apple's iOS is still #2, with little falling to any otehr systems. That means there's still a decent place for a #3 competitor, if commonplace patterns hold true.
Sale price for the Boston Globe: $70 million in cash
The principal owner of the Red Sox is buying the paper and its associated properties for a tiny fraction of what the New York Times Co. paid for it in 1993. Note that people paying high prices for Facebook stock need to take notice: Major media properties can plummet in value over time.
Google wants into the local-news business
Some people are taking hints from Google that the company is shifting focus. News aggregation on an ultra-local basis wouldn't exactly be a change of focus -- but it would certainly be different from organizing the information locked inside the world's printed libraries, for instance.
Microsoft writes down more in lost value of Surface tablets than it sold in the last year
Microsoft still can afford to make a lot more mistakes than any other major tech company

Nikon Digital SLR Camera
Looking for a Nikon Digital SLR camera? Look no further because I'll show you why Nikon Digital SLR Camera is the right choice to make when looking to purchase a high end DSLR camera. Whether you're looking for Wi-Fi, DX-Format CMOS, fx-format, 24.2 MP (mega pixel) or more camera Bundle, you'll be glad you found this article. Not only you'll be a Nikon fan for the rest of your life but I'll show you how you can save on hundreds of dollars on Nikon SLR camera like the Nikon, D3200, D3300, D3400, D3X, D300S, D3 FX, D4S, D50, D500, D5100, D5200, D5300, D5500, D600, D610, D40X, D750, Df 16, D7000, D7100, D7200, D800, D800E, D810 and many others I'll show you how to get the best deals on Nikon Cameras Online. Whether you're a professional or an amateur photographer you'll see the benefits of using these tips.
Some of the bundles you can get online comes with one or two of the following lenses; 50mm f/1.4G, 28-300mm VR Lens, 24-70mm f/2.8 Lens, 24-85mm, 18-140mm, 24-85mm VR Lens, 24-120mm f/4 VR Lens, EF 24-105mm f/4L IS II USM Lens Kit, 18-200mm, 18-300mm, 500mm, 55-300mm, 55-200mm, VR Zoom or VR II Zoom Lens (Red, Black or Grey) with 70-300mm VR Lens + 64GB Card + Case + Flash + Grip + Battery + Battery & Charger + Tripod Kit + 3 Filters + Remote Kit Carrying Case and Accessory Kit (Items) so you don't have to come up with additional money to purchase these lenses.
First off I'll come out bluntly and say there's only two competitors on the SLR market today Nikon and Canon. I'll probably get a bunch of hate mail for saying that but that's the reality. The majority of the film and music industry either uses Nikon or Canon when taking pictures on a set or filming HD movies. I'm just going to quote kens' blog for more about this age long argument Nikon vs. Canon (kenrockwell.com/tech/nikon-vs-canon.htm):
"Did you know that Nikon is one of the world's leading makers of professional laboratory microscopes, often beating out Zeiss and Leitz? Nikon also makes the million-dollar lenses and mechanical steppers used in semiconductor manufacture. They have a 37% market share. These lenses and mechanics resolve at 45 nanometers, or less than one-tenth of a wavelength of visible light. That's over 10,000 lines per millimeter! "
Most people when looking for Digital SLR Camera they usually go online to see if they can find good deals. First they'll start out by reading reviews on sites like dpreview.com, kenrockwell.com, digitalcamerareview.com, nikonrumors.com, slrlounge.com and others until they get tips on which camera performs better than others in their respective categories of course.
Once they have an idea what to look for they head to Google looking for keywords like "Best Prices for Nikon Digital SLR camera" "Deals on Nikon digital slr camera", or "Nikon Digital SLR Camera Sale". Then they'll continue with their search by being a little bit more specific like "Nikon Digital SLR Camera Body With Lens for Sale Online" By using these specific keywords to look for the camera you want, you're already on the path of finding your future camera : ) Now what most professionals will do when they're in the market for a new digital camera, they will be even more specific with the camera terms they're looking for. They will use more specific search terms like Nikon D7100 Digital SLR Camera Body with 18-300mm Lens + 64GB Card + Battery & Charger + Case + Flash + Filter + Tripod + Accessory Kit or they might just be looking for lenses and they'll probably put the following keywords for lenses; VR DX AF-S Lens, VR AF-S Zoom Lens, AF-P DX NIKKOR 18-55mm or 70-300mm f/4.5-6.3G ED VR, 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G VR, AF-S Micro-Nikkor 60mm F2.8G Lens Bundle,
AF-S Nikkor 85mm F1.4G Lens Bundle or even more specific; f/3.5-5.6G AF-S DX VR & 55-200mm, f/4-5.6G ED IF AF-S DX VR Nikkor Zoom Lenses,
DX NIKKOR 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G VR II Lens, AF-S DX NIKKOR 55-300mm f/4.5-5.6G ED VR Lens,
This will give them access to the all the big name brand players that have those specific camera on sale at online stores like Amazon.com, Bestbuy.com, Walmart.com, TigerDirect.com, Newegg.com, ritzcamera.com, adorama.com, cameta.com, bhphotovideo.com and a whole host of other stores online. This will allow them to compare prices to see which ones have the best prices, best return policy and promotion going on for that day.
Now here is where you save money on your camera, most of these online stores have new used and refurbished cameras that they sell, for example Amazon.com has warehouse special prices for the exact camera where ordinarily you would pay the full price for but sometimes with amazon warehouses you end up saving up to four, five hundred dollars off the exact camera you would buy online. Warehouse cameras are usually returned cameras by customers where the container has scratches or was open during shipping and the customer returns it or customer didn't like it for whatever reason but this is a great way of saving hundreds of dollars on the camera you're looking for. This is how I found my Nikon Digital SLR Camera.

LATE PICK-UP CHARGE: Because we have generous hours and we are not set up to keep staff on duty after 6:00 p.m. there is a steep charge for late pick up of children. The penalty fee is $5.00 for the first 1-10 minutes, $10.00 for 11‑20 minutes, $15.00 for 21‑30, etc. Time is determined by the clock in the lobby.

Walking in the Spirit
In His Presence: Proverbs 9:10
"We know by this that He abides in us, by the Spirit whom He has given us"(1 John 3:24).
Since we all live in the flesh, we will struggle with the desires of the flesh until we get to heaven. But we can bring these desires under the Holy Spirit's influence. "I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not carry out the desire of the flesh" (Galatians 5:16). Notice that the apostle Paul doesn't say we won't have the desires of the flesh when we walk in the Spirit, but that we won't carry out those desires.
Walking in the Spirit is similar to the concept of being filled with the Holy Spirit. To walk implies that the Spirit is going somewhere—there's a destination. He always goes to the same place, to that which brings God glory. In contrast, the flesh is always moving to that which will please itself. Walking is continuous, so not only do we have to pay attention to our destination, but our walking also involves dedication. Like the filling of the Holy Spirit, walking in the Spirit is ongoing. A third aspect of walking includes dependency. The act of walking is taking one step after another.
The key to walking in the Spirit is to look to Him to give us the ability to do what we know we can't do on our own. The moment we try to do it on our own, we reject the work of the Spirit. The Spirit doesn't need our help; we need His.
One Minute Please
When we walk in the Spirit, the flesh will lose its ability to have the last word.

Listen to Dr. Tony Evans Online Broadcasts at OnePlace.com.
Rather than viewing the cross as an historical event that will take us to heaven, we ought to view it as a current event containing everything we need to bring heaven to bear on earth.
In The Power of the Cross, Tony Evans carefully and pastorally applies the cross of Christ to life today. In three parts, he considers:
• What makes Christ unique; how Old Testament prophecy and typology looked ahead to Him; and how His humiliation, death and resurrection sets Him apart as Lord
• What was accomplished on the cross for us, how it is to be the centerpiece of our lives, and how it's a source of authority for us
• What is the power of the cross and the stability it provides, deliverance it offers, the power of its ongoing remembrance, and more
The cross is the hinge of history. How much more, then, is it the hinge of your life? It gained more for you than you may realize; do not make the grave error of overlooking it. As a thank you for your gift of any amount, we'll get this brand new book, The Power of the Cross, out to you right away.

I voted yes......but it only matters to the extent of how much has the pistol I want.....gone up.
It seems like everything that I have bought recently and everything that I am going to buy has disappeared and has gone up in price.
Wondering how many are interested in sales trends and what is and is not moving in the markets.
I voted yes......but it only matters to the extent of how much has the pistol I want.....gone up.
It seems like everything that I have bought recently and everything that I am going to buy has disappeared and has gone up in price.
Nope, don't really care about the trends. I never was one to follow the crowd.
I don't care about the trends because I want to follow them. I follow them because I'm interested in economics and sociology. Sales of any piece of merchandise are interesting in their impact on sociological events.
Guns are particularly interesting, because sales of them are often directly related to certain economic or sociological trends. When things like elections and political spinning can affect direct sales it is interesting. Most sale items are not directly impacted by a given political environment.
I definitely care about the trends. In a down economy, many guns have appreciated in value and continue to rise on Obama speculation. I've purchased new, shot and then consigned a number of guns with little or no monetary loss. It's like renting with an option to buy. It's good to keep up on this trend so I'm not stuck holding a devalued inventory of guns I might want to trade at some point.
Never have cared. I set my own trends and what works for me best, when I can afford it. All the panic buying and other "crazy" behavior only feeds the trolls that will end up twisting the data into statistics to further reduce our freedoms and increase the tactical leverage of criminals.
I'm not a crowd follower, either. (check my signature) I rather enjoy being the black sheep.
Besides, if people think you may be a lttle crazy, they're less apt to mess with you. lol.
I buy what I want and sometimes I buy what I need.
I don't really care because I don't sell my guns. I buy them and just add to my collection from time to time.
I think that the recent gun buying rush is nothing more than a truly unsupported fear, by a lot of people that do not have a clear understanding of what is really going on in the world around us. I mean I want to have my rights protected just as much as anyone on this forum. But I think the general publics idea of "revolutionary uprising" as I heard one fellow say at a local firing range, trying to purchase a weapon that there is no way in the world 75% of the people that have purchase weapons in the last 2 months have enough sense to really even own one.
I also think it is absurd how much some of the gun dealers are trying to raise prices through the roof due to the fact of the overwhelming demand trend
I voted no, the only sales trend I need to be interested in is the product that pays my bills. Tires and Dishwashers. I do not sell my guns I just semi retire them. My kids will sell them to pay for the nursing home they choose for me.( hope its a nice one)
funkypunk97: I agree with you
just interested in the data of what is going on
i do not buy based on the trends and besides -
the way the ATF releases their data it is not possible to trend a specific model - only caliber and manufacturer
But I'm always interested in the data just to learn.....
As I said, guns sales are related to economics and sociology...two things I like to study.... and since I like guns and own them I will always learn what I can.....

63 impala steering geerbox
hello i was wanting to upgrade my old leaky steering componets with new and improved. i heard about this abs gearbox and column i was waondering if anyone has heard about that for beefin up old chevy front ends thanks!!!1
You may wish to check Classic Performance Products. They have a new 600 series
steering box for your car as well as a full line of performance suspension upgrades and steering columns.
I have a CPP500 steering box on my '55 Chevy as well as CPP tubular upper a-arms. The old "shoebox" drives like a new car.
thanks for the advice i sure do need it. i just want it to drive like a new car. my slave cylinder is old and the seals leak!!
cpp doesnt have any thing for my year impala!!
Sorry about that. CPP's online catalog is a bit difficult to navigate. You have to search for Impala and still everything from 1955 to 1967 is listed together.
Here are some links to '58 - '64 Chevy applications:
CPP50003 Power Steering Box
#5864PSKS Complete Power Steering Kit (I'm not a big fan of the 605 steering boxes)
#1140670010 IDIDIT Steering columns
Maybe just a rebuild of the stock components would bring her up to snuff?
Hope this helps,
How do you like that box???
I have a 605 in the 59 and am not happy with it at all---seems to wander and the front feels sloppy----Nothing has more than 3000 miles on it.
Camber at -.5 and caster at +1 I think someone set the to to 0.
If the 500 box is the same as the 600 (internally), I was wondering how it feels to you?
The 605 seems to have way too much play in it.
(also considering going to a 64 centerlink and pitman to eliminate the ball/socket and springs in the centerlink)
So Can I Put The 500 Steering Box On My 63 I Want It Tight And If I Do That Can I Use The Same Power Steering Pump And Slave Cylinder Or Do I Replace It All The Front End Only Has About 8,000 Miles On It. Thanks Guys
nope----the 500 series is for the tri-5 chebbies (rear steer long pitman shaft)
The 600 series would be for the 58-64 (front steer short pitman shaft)
This box would replace the slave unit you have now, may need to get a different pump----WILL need to use a non powersteering centerlink and pitman arm. (I believe CPP has parts to convert the centerlink)
thanks bryan i sure appreciate the tech help you have given me
605 vs 500 & 600
There are folks who swear by their 605 boxes. The majority are disappointed by the lack of feed back (overpowered) and wandering (no return to center). The 605 steering box is not a recirculating ball design and has a stamped metal cover which controls shaft end play. The CPP500 is a new casting with the internals of a late model steering box. It has great feed back and return to center. I would assume that the new 600 is similar. There is confusion because there was a 600 series box that preceded the 500 series. That 600 series box is no longer made. You can find information on the CPP forum @ ChevyTalk.com .
My CPP500 would hold center at speed but would not return to center below 15 MPH with 3/4 degrees of caster. Tri five Chevies by design have limited front alignment adjustment. Adding the CPP tubular upper a-arms allowed 3 1/2 degrees caster. Now the wheel returns to center and the car drives about as good as any new car.
Sorry that your 605 box is not working out. You are not alone. There are other companies that make quality steering upgrade components. I only have experience with the CPP products that are on my '55 so that is all I will comment on.
Thanks Dave.
Virtually everything having to do with the steering (and brakes -4-whel disc)came from CPP.
605 box, 706 bar, and all front end joints and ends.
(I did have to make my own box mount to use the sway bar---this actually put the idler and pitman much closer to the same angle than the mout that came with my kit.
I guess when SHE :mwink: is not looking, I can order the new box for the x-frame cars--
Don't try to do this without your wife's knowledge. If you kill yourself she won't know how to tell the bloodsucking lawyers how you did it.
What do you think is the best way for me to convert my 63 small block SS to power steering?

|Little Angels strongly believes in assisting those with psychiatric disabilities. While
this is a disability that is often overlooked, it is a condition which can be even more
detrimental than some challenges which are strictly physical.
Recently the public has received education regarding psychiatric service dogs with
respect for our soldiers who are returning from war with PTSD. The trainers and
volunteers of Little Angels work diligently to place dogs with our soldiers, as well as
civilians who suffer from similar forms of PTSD, and other psychiatric conditions
such as severe anxiety and depressive disorders.
Medical Alert
Just as a dog can be trained to alert to seizures and other medical conditions, a dog can also be trained
to sense the changes in a person's body when they are beginning to have a panic attack, flash back,
anxiety attack, or other psychiatric condition. The dog is able to paw at the leg of their disabled recipient
and interrupt what would otherwise be a debilitating and destructive behavior for the individual. This
helps the handler to refocus on their dog and work through the problem.
Deep Pressure Therapy
Just as medical wraps are used to alleviate anxiety in persons with psychiatric conditions, dogs can be
trained to put the pressure of their body weight on their handler's lap and abdomen to physically, and
then mentally relieve anxiety and induce a sense of calm.
Boundary Control
When the individual suffers from anxiety due to the close proximity of others, or due to claustrophobia in
a crowded room, the dog can be trained to stand in between their handler and others to gain more
personal space. The dog is not being protective, but is simply following a simple cue from their handler to
move their body into the space surrounding their handler.
A frequent problem for those suffering from PTSD is to negotiate corners without the fear of what is
waiting on the other side. Our dogs can be trained to go around corners in front of their handler and
then alert their handler if there is someone waiting on the other side. Over time this form of therapy can
assist the disabled recipient when becoming more comfortable with going into public.
Signal Alert
There are many situations when a recipient will need to excuse themselves from a classroom or meeting
due to personal psychiatric concerns. With a discrete signal to the dog the handler can command his
dog to paw at the leg, making it look like the dog is seeking attention. The handler is then able to
comfortably leave the situation with the excuse that his dog needs to relieve itself.
It goes without saying that any service dog's greatest assistance is the emotional support they can offer
their handler. Most disabilities present trials than can be relieved on a mental level simply by the dog's
presence. A well behaved dog can help to lower blood pressure and give a sense of ease to anyone who
is near.
What We Don't Do
We do not create unnecessary tasks for dogs to complete simply because we are looking for a way for
dogs to 'assist with a specific disability'. Public Access laws state that a dog cannot be granted public
access simply for emotional support, and that the dog must be trained in specific tasks to assist their
disabled partner. Because of this many are 'looking' for tasks to train to their dogs. We will not train a
dog to pick items up off the floor if you can easily do this, etc. We will not train a dog to protect you - it is
not safe. We WILL train a dog to assist you with actual tasks for actual needs.
Is a Little Angels Psychiatric Service Dog right for me?
You must ...
1)Have a life-inhibiting psychiatric condition, with documentation from your doctor to support
your diagnosis.
2)Have strong communication skills and the ability to be consistent with a dog regarding
training exercises.
3)Have a love for dogs.
4)Have patience to work through problems. (Even a trained dog is still a dog.)
5)Have finances to provide your dog with veterinary care and maintenance for the next 10-12
6)Be willing to travel to San Diego, California for handler training, preferably with a friend or
family member for support.
There are many important factors that will determine if a service dog can help someone with a
psychiatric condition. In some cases having a service dog can exacerbate the struggles of the
individual. Applications are reviewed on a case-by-case basis to insure a service dog is right
for each individual.
Handler Training
Hander Training is where the disabled party learns how to work with the dog as a team. This
generally takes 14 days, with training every day. This is when the dog learns to respond to the
commands of the handler, and when the handler learns how to reinforce the training that the dog
has already received. We cover practical, day-to-day life experiences so you will feel confident
taking the dog into your care. We work in real-life situations such as outings to shopping malls,
restaurants, and parks so you will feel comfortable taking the dog with you into the public setting.
After the completion of Handler Training we work together on a series of field tests, which are
administered by the trainer. After graduation, you and your dog will be certified as a working
team. A certification card will be provided to the handler, as well as a service vest and
identification tag for your dog, which labels him or her as a service animal.
We have a lifetime commitment to each
recipient and each dog that we place.
Once you and your dog have graduated we maintain contact to insure that your dog's training
and assistance remains in tact,
that the dog remains healthy and happy,
and that the dog is improving your quality of life.
What are the steps involved for receiving a Psychiatric Service Dog?
Step 1: Request an application through our 'Apply for a Dog' page.
Step 2: Return the application for review.
Your application is received via email, and you will receive
a response within 10 business days.
Step 3: If accepted we will contact you to schedule a phone consultation.
The consultation is an average of 60 minutes where we discuss realistic expectations of how a service
dog can assist you, and to make sure you are a good fit for one of our dogs.
Step 4: Agreement.
If we believe one of our service dogs can assist you we will write out a customized agreement and ask
you to review your final decision with friends and family.
Step 5: Return your agreement with your $500.00 deposit, to be added to
our waiting list.
The deposit is your sign to us that you are committed to the program. Once this is received we begin
fundraising for the costs associated with your dog. Some recipients also choose to be added to our
website under the 'Donations' page - this is a personal decision and is not a requirement.
Step 6: Fundraising.
Organizations nationwide spend an average of $30,000.00-$40,000.00 on each assistance dog trained.
The average service dog graduates with over 600 hours of training, and with that expense also comes
veterinary care, boarding, grooming and training supplies. Because of the commitment of all our
wonderful volunteers Little Angels spends a fraction of that, at $24,000.00 per dog. This is an expense
covered through fundraising. If possible, we ask each recipient to be involved in the fundraising process
when they can, but it is never a requirement.
Step 7: Dog Selection and Specialized Training.
Once the funds are met, regardless of how the funds were raised, we move you to the second part of our
waiting list where you are a priority for dog placement. This is when we choose a dog from our training
program that has the natural propensities to assist in the ways needed for your disability, and we
continue any additional specialized training needed specifically for your needs.
Step 8: Handler Training.
During handler training we work with you, one-on-one, and show you how to reinforce the training your
dog has already had. Once you and your dog graduate our program we stay in daily contact for the first
month, followed by monthly, and bi-yearly consultations for reports on your dog's ability to continuously
provide assistance to you. Handler training takes place in San Diego, California.
We have partnered with
The Anxiety Research Center and Curtis Hsia, Ph.D.
Dr. Hsia specializes in treating anxiety through cognitive behavioral
therapy, and is an advocate in therapy through the use of Service
Dogs through Little Angels.
Dr. Hsia is available for consultations by phone for those who reside
outside of California.

Ted Hughes's Letter to his Son
From Letters of Note: A wise and inspiring letter from Ted Hughes to his 24-year-old son, Nicholas. Early in the letter, Hughes describes his life in America with his wife, Sylvia Plath, writing, "I came to America, when I was 27, and lived there three years as if I were living inside a damart sock… We made hardly any friends, no close ones, and neither of us ever did anything the other didn't want wholeheartedly to do."
Hughes goes on to advise his son to venture outside of the "damart sock":
…When you realise you've gone a few weeks and haven't felt that awful struggle of your childish self—struggling to lift itself out of its inadequacy and incompetence—you'll know you've gone some weeks without meeting new challenge, and without growing, and that you've gone some weeks towards losing touch with yourself. The only calibration that counts is how much heart people invest, how much they ignore their fears of being hurt or caught out or humiliated. And the only thing people regret is that they didn't live boldly enough, that they didn't invest enough heart, didn't love enough. Nothing else really counts at all.
Read the full letter here.

Front Street Gallery Hosts Group Show Winners
Opening on Saturday September 14, "Life Forms," features the winners of Front Street's second annual juried group show, Roberta Dixon of Ithaca, and Millie Falcaro of Manhattan.
Roberta Dixon, the first prize winner, uses acrylic paints to create organically constructed patterns that reveal repetition and change, with the energy and rhythms of natural processes. She considers her genre Abstract Expressionism, which she says "speaks both from and to the psyche."
In this exhibition, Dixon's exuberant patterns echoing the most vivid aesthetics of nature contrast with the subdued naturalistic arrangements of Millie Falcaro's photographs. Her art is photography in the elemental sense that she uses light and film, but this work is more closely related to the photogram process, a precursor to modern photography invented in the 1830s by Henry Fox Talbot. Millie takes us back to photography's organic roots.
The photogram process requires her to arrange her collected natural objects in the dark. Photography, the essential visual medium, here responds to touch, to tactile cues that become visual only later when the plate is exposed, when the lights come on. Imprinting at a molecular level, the deep presence and essence of natural objects become something to feel as well as see. Fox Talbot called it "Nature's pencil."
"Life Forms" featuring Roberta Dixon and Millie Falcaro opens with an artists' reception Saturday, September 14 from 6-9 p.m. at Front Street Gallery, in Patterson. See frontstreetgallery.org for details.

Cat Veterinary
Have Cat Questions? Ask a Cat Vet Online.
This is Dr. Christian. Because it improved on steroids it is almost certainly allergies that are causing the problem. Allergies can occur to anything in the environment (food, dust, pollen, grass, trees, cats, etc.). Unfortunately, these allergies can occur at any age and can be difficult to determine what they are allergic to without testing. In most cases medications are necessary to control the symptoms so that infection and hair loss does not occur. Even food allergies are still possible if you have not tried a prescription food. Over the counter brands commonly have the same ingredients and therefore if your cat is allergic to one of those he will still itch. Here are some thoughts:
Allergy testing can be done to determine what exactly he is allergic to and then a series of shots can be given over a period of months to reduce the severity of his allergies. While a little more costly (you can check with your vet about the cost) in the long run it is safer than steroids and can be very effective. I once had a cat that was allergic to mice plus about 20 other things. The allergy shots did well for him.
Steroid Injections (prednisone) from your vet may be necessary for temporary relief. Long term steroids can be detrimental so you want to use this as little as possible.
Unfortunately, other than diet, there is not much to be done at home because antihistamines do not help cats much. I would start with a prescription diet if you have not done that already and then talk to your vet about allergy testing. If you don't want to do allergy testing then steroids can get him some relief while the diet starts to work. If you have allergy testing done he can't have the steroids because it ruins the testing.
I have tried the science diet z/d and it didn`t work. I also bought other special foods like the science diet without the whey,chicken and other ingredients. He is a very picky eater. I have had him for 2yrs and he has never wanted treats or can food. Is there any cremes like destin or i can put on his bottom or bloody sores? just until i get him to vet Monday? thanks,Jennifer

The mission of the Annapolis Film Festival is to encourage the development of all aspects of the creative arts in and around Annapolis through the cinema experience. We seek independent films, features, documentaries and shorts, that will inspire, enlighten and entertain all audiences on a variety of topics, promoting Annapolis as a cultural arts center.
The Annapolis Film Festival made its debut in March 2013. Nestled on the banks of the Chesapeake Bay, the city is best known for its rich naval history, its charm as a vacation destination and its many restaurants and galleries. The film festival has had an extraordinary first four years with five venues in the historic and walkable city center and annual attendance of over 7000.
The Annapolis Film Festival is seeking a total of 50–70 films to be shown March 30 through April 2, 2017. The festival showcases a strong line-up of documentary and narrative films from up and coming independent filmmakers. We present a balanced program of comedy, drama and issue-oriented films with a common focus on excellence in storytelling.
In addition, we strongly encourage submission of films with a tie to Maryland (made in Maryland or with a producer, director, or actor from Maryland). Films with a nautical theme, environmental films and films on African American culture and history have a special appeal to this community.
The 2016 Annapolis Film Festival will include a Short Film Juried Competition with awards of $500 each to the Narrative Short and the Documentary Short displaying exceptional creativity, originality and skill in script, direction, acting and high quality production values. Five shorts in each category will be nominated and judged by a jury of industry professionals. In addition, some travel expenses for the winning filmmakers will be covered.
Beyond the screenings, the festival offers educational and networking opportunities. We host an engaging and lively series of panel discussions with leading industry professionals. Filmmakers will have an opportunity to participate in these events, as well as numerous receptions that provide a fun and relaxed environment to meet and discuss your work with industry colleagues.
Past season guests have included director Albert Maysles (Grey Gardens, Gimme Shelter), Oscar winning screenwriter David S. Ward (The Sting), Oscar winning editor Gabriella Cristiani (The Last Emperor), actor/director S. Epatha Merkerson (Law and Order), actor Rory Culkin (Gabriel) and noted speaker/writer/producer Ambassador Shabazz.
As a relatively new and rapidly growing festival, AFF wishes to continue to strengthen the reputation of this beautiful city as a haven for filmmakers to showcase global perspectives and independent thought.

Kent Roosevelt's Pat Smith, Ravenna's Jeff Kirby and Crestwood's Cody Kothera got to take the field in the major league ballpark as representatives of Portage County in the Second annual Northeast Ohio Baseball Coaches Association All-Star Game.
The game pitted the Portage County stars along with standouts from Trumbull, Ashtabula and Columbiana counties in a nine-inning exhibition game against a squad formed from Lake and Geauga counties.
Portage County was also represented in the dugout as Ravenna head coach Guy Tontimonia served as a coach for the Portage squad. The thrill of playing in a big league stadium serves a just reward for top athletes in recognition of a great season.
"This is a great thing for the kids," said Tontimonia. "It's too bad we couldn't have gotten more kids on the team though, but the kids who got to play just loved it."
The Portage squad got off to an early lead with some fireworks being provided by Smith. The Rough Rider smacked a two-run double off the left-field wall and later scored on a double steal to put the Portage squad up 5-0 in the fourth inning.
"It was really nice to play here and to get a hit in my first at-bat," said Smith. "I really had a good time and I'm glad I was picked to come here."
Offensive success is nothing new to Smith who hit .543 in 2000, but playing defense was just as big a thrill. The shortstop got to take the field in the same place as one of his heroes, the Indians acrobatic Omar Vizquel.
"It was neat to play in the same spot as Omar," said Smith.
Ravenna senior Jeff Kirby was not as lucky at the plate as Smith. Kirby, a third baseman who batted .413 with four home runs and 24 RBI this spring, did not see a good pitch in either of his two at-bats, drawing a pair of walks.
"I really didn't see any pitches," said Kirby. "I took a few swings in the second at-bat but they were bad pitches and I was just swinging at everything. This was an awesome experience, to play on the same field as some of the best players in the world."
Playing in Jacobs Field is nothing new to Kothera as the Crestwood senior has now played in the ballpark three times. Crestwood has competed in the Indians' Summer Tournament in the past and Kothera was the first Crestwood athlete to record a hit in the stadium.
"I played here before, but this is still a great experience," said Kothera. "It's a lot of fun to play here and to play with some of the best players around."
Kothera, who hit .381 in 2000 for the Red Devils, didn't see much playing time in the game despite getting the starting nod at second base. In his only plate appearance, Kothera chopped a ground ball to the pitcher but reached base as the first baseman pulled his foot. Kothera did show his stuff in the field though, converting a ground ball into an out and working a successful pickoff play.
Despite the efforts of the local athletes and an early 5-0 lead, the Portage team saw their rivals mount a comeback. The team from Lake and Geauga counties rallied for three runs in the fifth and five runs in the sixth on their way to an 11-8 decision.

Alistair Darling has openly criticised Goldman Sachs over its plan to pay huge staff bonuses so soon after the financial crisis nearly crushed the banking sector.
Speaking at an event in London this lunchtime, the chancellor cited the Wall Street giant as an example of a bank that "manifestly" failed to appreciate how the City landscape had changed.
"What happened with Goldman Sachs last week sends the wrong signals," said Darling, who was attending an event at Canary Wharf. "I've spoken to all our banks and none of them would be standing here today if the taxpayer hadn't put their hand into their pocket."
Goldman Sachs itself does not appear to share Darling's concerns. Last night, Lord Griffiths, vice-chairman of Goldman Sachs International, claimed that huge salaries were a price worth paying.
"I believe that we should be thinking about the medium-term common good, not the short-term common good ... we should not, therefore, be ashamed of offering compensation in an internationally competitive market which ensures the bank businesses here and employs British people," said Griffiths.
The City is expected to pay out £6bn in bonuses this year, 50% more than a year ago. Last Thursday Goldman revealed that its bonus pot had swelled to $16.7bn (£10bn), after the company almost quadrupled its profits in the last quarter. Unless the firm's fortunes take a sudden reversal, its staff can look forward to an average bonus of $700,000 each.
Darling insisted that the government had already taken steps to prevent a return of the excesses that led to the crash, by banning cash bonuses at the partially nationalised Royal Bank of Scotland.
"It's very important that a clear message is sent that if you make a mess of things, you don't get rewarded for it," said Darling.
RBS, though, has still built up a £2bn pot to share between its 20,000 investment bankers.
Darling also criticised the Conservative opposition for pledging to make dramatic cuts in public spending to bring down the government's huge borrowing requirements. "The Tory party sometimes seems to wallow in the idea of spending cuts, which they've probably wanted to make for ever," the chancellor claimed.
Darling is himself expected to announce spending cuts in the pre-budget report next month. But he insisted that the UK economy could grow its way out of trouble. "As a country, we have a choice. You can say there's nothing we can do, wallow in an age of austerity, tell people there is no alternative. That is a poverty of aspiration.
"Or we can say, yes we can make a difference, there are jobs out there, we have a diverse economy with many strengths, ready to seize the opportunities of the future," he said.
Some retailers have urged the government to maintain the temporary reduction in VAT to 15% beyond 31 December. But Darling said he was not prepared to do so. "It's interesting that many people who said it was useless and not very helpful are now saying: 'Could you extend it a bit?' But that's life."

General News | 17th July 2007
Hussey sets the pace
Overseas star David Hussey claims he's still hungry for runs after becoming the first batsman in the country to reach the landmark of 1,000 Championship runs for the season.
The Australian blasted 180 against Gloucestershire - his third century of the summer - and has now scored 1,074 runs at an average of 97.64 in the competition.
And Hussey said: "All I'm interested in doing is scoring as many runs as possible to make sure Notts end up back in Division One.
"I'm not big on setting myself statistical targets, so I wasn't aware of the fact I was closing in on 1,000 runs.
"I've been helped by the fact I've slid down the order to number five, so the guys above me have done the hard work and taken the shine off the ball.
"But I'm far from finished and want to help Notts back into the top flight where they belong."

A student waged a sophisticated campaign of cyber-attacks which paralysed company computers causing unprecedented damage, a court heard.
Christopher Weatherhead, 22, whose online nickname was "Nerdo", exploited "the dark side" of computer technology, the jury was told.
From his student digs' bedroom Weatherhead led a gang of cyber vandals known as Anonymous in the campaign in 2010.
They targeted companies such as the Ministry of Sound, PayPal and Mastercard who either opposed online piracy or had come out against WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange, the court heard.
Weatherhead, of Northampton, has pleaded not guilty at Southwark Crown Court to conspiracy to impair the operation of computers.
The court has heard three alleged co-members of Anonymous have already pleaded guilty to a same charge.
Sandip Patel, prosecuting, said although the internet was a great force for good in society, "there is a dark side and this case is about that."
He added: "Weatherhead is a cyber-attacker and he, and others like him, waged a sophisticated, orchestrated campaign of online attacks which paralysed a series of targeted computer systems belonging to companies causing unprecedented harm.
"He went by the online nickname of 'Nerdo' and played a central and integral role in the campaign of cyber-attacks in 2010.
"He and others carried out what is referred to as Distributed Denial of Services (DDOS) attacks which paralysed computer systems by flooding them with an intolerable number of online requests and messages."
Mr Patel said that members of Anonymous described themselves as "Hacktivists".
"At times they cite libertarian ideals as part of their raison d'etre, a desire for individual freedom, the freedom to circulate information and believe the internet should be free with no online copyright protection for music or films or whatever."
Weatherhead led one attack which was described as being almost "on military lines" entitled Operation Payback against companies involved in the music industry who are opposed to internet piracy, the court heard.
Other targets included PayPal which had refused to process payments on behalf of WikiLeaks at the time that Mr Assange and others were publishing US military and diplomatic documents on line.
"Companies which began to disassociated themselves from WikiLeaks such as PayPal and Mastercard were targeting in a campaign of retribution," said Mr Patel.
Weatherhead and his co-conspirators used Twitter, Facebook and online chat relays to plan and coordinate their attacks, the jury was told.
The case continues.

One Film to Open Minds
January 31, 2011
The WMC blog is featuring Progressive Girls' Voices in dispatches from the Sundance Film Festival, as our girl journalists attend feminist film screenings and interview notable leaders and directors. In this installment, Charis Benjamin discusses media role models in the context of Jennifer Newsom's Miss Representation — watch this space for more.
By Charis Benjamin
Charis Benjamin was born in Dallas, Texas, but currently lives in Salt Lake City. She is in her Junior year at Rowland Hall. She is an advocate for discussing diversity issues, and as a young African-American woman in a state with a 1.3% Black demographic, she has a distinctive and unique perspective.
It is amazing what one film can do. After I viewed Jennifer Newsom's film Miss Representation, I noticed something change in the way I saw and critiqued the world around me. Not only did I have facts and statistics from the movie to inform the way I viewed television, but I also had new narratives from women in the film that helped me understand the issues discussed more clearly.
Miss Representation inspired my AP American Literature teacher, Kody Partridge, to bring the discussion about women's portrayal in the media to our class. For the past couple of weeks we have been studying advertising in America from the 1920s to 1950s. Part of our research led us to how women have been viewed in the media since the beginning of the 20th century. We were able to test how desensitized we actually are to the way women are portrayed on television.
For some in the class, the discussion questioned what personal prejudices they might have about what a woman should look like. This discussion is the first key to stopping these prejudices for both young women and men. By educating young people, we can teach my generation to be more respectful and less destructive of their bodies and mental images of themselves.
When I had the opportunity to speak with Jennifer Newsom, I asked her how the media affected her personality and self image. As a mother, she said, "I became much more protective- I would turn the T.V. off if was not appropriate." Newsom believes that there is some positive representation of women on the air, but the problem is that young girls have few resources to sift through the mass media and find good female role models. Personally, she struggled with understanding how far she would go in her acting career. Throughout her many television and film appearances she has developed an understanding of what characters best reflect her and what characters are not as true to her self-image. She encourages all girls to be alert and act with integrity, which I think is a pledge worth taking!

Workflow Automation Smooths Production at California College
About five years ago, the San Joaquin Delta College Publication Center, in Stockton, Calif., retired its offset presses and moved to an all-digital production platform. This consisted of color and monochrome digital devices operated by the in-plant's staff as well as a monochrome digital press available for walk-up traffic.
"The next logical step was to make our workflow as automated and productive as possible," says Manager Gilbert VanOver.
To do this, the in-plant acquired EFI Digital StoreFront Web-to-print and e-commerce software to help it better utilize its new digital printing equipment and deliver more value to the college. Today, all of the Publication Center's systems are interconnected, and many jobs are processed without manual intervention.
Located about 80 miles east of San Francisco, the in-plant has done a remarkable job utilizing its EFI solutions to create an extremely automated and efficient production environment. As a result, working with the Publication Center is a quick and easy process for Delta College employees.
"Much of the work that comes in is pretty straightforward," says VanOver. "Any black-and-white work we don't need to touch comes in through Digital StoreFront and is automatically released for production to our Ricoh 1107s. A job ticket printed on colored stock is inserted between each job, so we simply pull them off of the printer and put them on shelves for pick-up or delivery."
VanOver says as many as 50 to 60 jobs are uploaded every night.
"We come in about 7:00 a.m.," he says, "and by around 12:30 those jobs have been released by my staff and pulled off of the digital presses and stacked on the shelves, ready to go. It's an awesome process."
Well-equipped Operation
The Publication Center is equipped with four Ricoh 1107 EX presses, a Ricoh C651 EX digital color press and a Canon imageRUNNER Pro 125VP digital monochrome press. All digital presses (except one Ricoh 1107 used primarily for walk-up jobs) are equipped with EFI Fiery digital front ends with Fiery Command WorkStation. The Ricoh C651 and Canon imageRUNNER 125 have in-line booklet makers to accommodate the large number of booklets the in-plant produces.

About Theodore William Richards, Nobel Prize in Chemistry, 1914
Theodore William Richards (January 31, 1868 – April 2, 1928) was the first American scientist to receive the Nobel Prize in Chemistry, earning the award "in recognition of his exact determinations of the atomic weights of a large number of the chemical elements."
Theodore William Richards was born in Germantown, Pennsylvania, USA on January 31, 1868. His father, William T. Richards was a well-known painter of landscapes and seascapes: his mother, Anna, née Matlack, won fame for her poetical works.
During his childhood, Richards travelled to England and France and, up to the age of fourteen, he was educated by his mother. In 1883 he entered Haverford College, Pennsylvania, to graduate in science in 1885 and enter Harvard University. He received the degrees, B.A. in 1886; M.A. and Ph.D. in 1888. The following twelve months were spent in Germany where he studied under Victor Meyer, P. Jannasch, G. Kruss and W. Hempel; on his return to Harvard he was appointed Assistant in Chemistry. He successively became Instructor (1891), Assistant Professor (1894) and Professor (1901); in 1901 he also declined an offer of a full professorship in the University of Göttingen. In 1903 he became Chairman of the Department of Chemistry at Harvard and in 1912 he was appointed Erving Professor of Chemistry and Director of the Wolcott Gibbs Memorial Laboratory.
About half of Richards' original work has concerned atomic weights, starting in 1886 with work on oxygen and copper. He quickly developed a new technique for the determination of halide ratios and did much towards improving methods of weighing. He invented the nephelometer and demonstrated the insidious effect of occluded moisture in gases and solids. By 1912 he had redetermined, with the highest accuracy, the atomic weights of over thirty important elements and in later years he was to play his part, by his work on the determination of the atomic weight of isotopes, in the modern concept of the atom. During his initial work he was guided by J.P. Cooke.
Richards also studied atomic and molecular volume and he formulated a hypothesis of compressible atoms. He carried out a series of measurements of compressibilities of many elements and compounds in support of his theory, developing, applying and testing new methods and techniques. He introduced the use of transition temperatures of pure hydrated salts as fixed points in the standardization of thermometers, and the fundamentals of adiabatic calorimetry were developed under his guidance. His researches are recorded in some three hundred technical papers published mainly in the Proceedings of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, the Journal of the American Chemical Society and the publications of the Carnegie Institution of Washington.
Professor Richards received honorary doctorate degrees in science from Yale (1905), Harvard (1910), Cambridge, Oxford and Manchester (1911) and Princeton (1923); in philosophy from Prague (1909) and Christiania (1911); in law from Haverton (1908), Pittsburgh (1915) and Pennsylvania (1920); in chemistry from Clark (1909); and in medicine from Berlin (1910). He was President of the American Chemical Society (1914), the American Association for the Advancement of Science (1917) and the American Academy of Arts and Sciences (1919-21). He received the Davy Medal (Royal Society), 1910; the Faraday Medal, 1911, and Willard Gibbs Medal (American Chemical Society), 1912; the Franklin Medal (Franklin Institute), 1916; and the Le Blanc and Lavoisier Medal in 1922. He was appointed Officier de la Lègion d'Honneur in 1925 and he held fellowships or memberships of academies and learned societies in the United States, the British Isles, France, Germany and Scandinavia.
Richards married Miriam Stuart Thayer, daughter of Professor Joseph H. Thayer, in 1896; they had one daughter and two sons. His favourite recreations were sketching, golf and sailing.
He died at Cambridge, Massachusetts, on April 2, 1928.
From Nobel Lectures, Chemistry 1901-1921, Elsevier Publishing Company, Amsterdam, 1966
Theodore William Richards (January 31, 1868 – April 2, 1928) was the first American scientist to receive the Nobel Prize in Chemistry, earning the award "in recognition of his exact determinations of the atomic weights of a large number of the chemical elements."
Theodore Richards was born in Germantown, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania to William Trost Richards, a land- and seascape painter, and Anna née Matlack, a poet. Richards received most of his pre-college education from his mother. During one summer's stay at Newport, Rhode Island, Richards met Professor Josiah Parsons Cooke of Harvard, who showed the young boy Saturn's rings through a small telescope. Years later Cooke and Richards would work together in Cooke's laboratory.
Beginning in 1878, the Richards family spent two years in Europe, largely in England, where Theodore Richards' scientific interests grew stronger. After the family's return to the United States, he entered Haverford College, Pennsylvania in 1883 at the age of 14, earning a Bachelor of Science degree in 1885. He then enrolled at Harvard University and received a Bachelor of Arts degree in 1886, as further preparation for graduate studies.
Richards continued on at Harvard, obtaining a Ph.D. in chemistry in 1888 for a determination of the atomic weight of oxygen relative to hydrogen. His doctoral advisor was Josiah Parsons Cooke. Following a year of post-doctoral work in Germany, where he studied under Victor Meyer and others, Richards returned to Harvard as an assistant in chemistry, then instructor, assistant professor, and finally full professor in 1901. In 1903 he became chairman of the Department of Chemistry at Harvard, and in 1912 he was appointed Erving Professor of Chemistry and Director of the new Wolcott Gibbs Memorial Laboratory.
In 1896, Richards married Miriam Stuart Thayer. The couple had one daughter, Grace Thayer (who married James Bryant Conant), and two sons, Greenough Thayer and William Theodore. Both sons died by suicide.
Richards' maintained interests in both art and music. Among his recreations were sketching, golf, and sailing. He died at Cambridge, Massachusetts, on April 2, 1928, at the age of 60. According to one of his descendants, Richards suffered from "chronic respiratory problems and a prolonged depression."
Scientific research
About half of Richards's scientific research concerned atomic weights, starting in 1886 with his graduate studies. On returning to Harvard in 1889, this was his first line of research, continuing up to his death. According to Forbes, by 1932 the atomic weights of 55 elements had been studied by Richards and his students. Among the potential sources of error Richards uncovered in such determinations was the tendency of certain salts to occlude gases or foreign solutes on precipitation. As an example of the care Richards used in his work, Emsley reports that he carried out 15,000 recrystallization of thulium bromate in order to obtain the pure element thulium for an atomic weight measurement.
Richards was the first to show, by chemical analysis, that an element could have different atomic weights. He was asked to analyze samples of naturally-occurring lead and lead produced by radioactive decay. His measurements showed that the two samples had different atomic weights, supporting the concepts of isotopes.
Although Richards's chemical determinations of atomic weights were highly significant for their time, they have largely been superseded. Modern scientists use electronic instrumentation, such as mass spectrometers, to determine both the masses and the abundances of an element's isotopes. From this information, an average atomic mass can be calculated, and compared to the values measured by Richards. The modern methods are faster and more sensitive than those on which Richards had to rely, but not necessarily less expensive.
Other scientific work of Theodore Richards included investigations of the compressibilities of atoms, heats of solution and neutralization, and the electrochemistry of amalgams. His investigation of electrochemical potentials at low temperatures was among the work that led, in the hands of others, to the Nernst heat theorem and the third law of thermodynamics, although not without heated debate between Nernst and Richards.
Richards also is credited with the invention of the adiabatic calorimeter as well as the nephelometer, which was devised for his work on the atomic weight of strontium.

Baile Oakes
Sculptor and author of "Sculpting with the Environment" Baile Oakes is on a mission to "use our visual language to help bring our culture to a fuller understanding of our place within the living systems of the Earth." His outdoor projects involve creating park environments and playful interactive sculptures which educate children and adults alike. Many of his artworks highlight natural phenomena such as the solar calendar, desert landscapes, and the importance of water.
Baile Oakes favors hands on activities in the public play spaces he creates. Wheelchair accessible hand pumps and elevated sand trays help children work together directing water into canals and basins carved into the sand. A bicycle powered exhibit (with a solar option for nonpedalers) fills a model of the San Francisco Bay to overflowing and then back again to demonstrate the catastrophic effects of a mere 3 foot rise in the world's oceans due to global warming.

Few authors have written more mesmerizingly about Victorian London than Anne Perry. Readers enter her world with exquisite anticipation, and experience a rich variety of characters and class: aristocrats living in luxury, flower sellers on street corners, ladies of the evening seeking customers on gaslit streets, gentlemen in hansom cabs en route to erotic diversions unknown in their Mayfair mansions. Now Perry gives her myriad fans the book they've been waiting for—the novel in which William Monk breaks through the wall of amnesia and discovers at last who he once was.
For the prostitutes of Leather Lane, nurse Hester Monk's clinic is a lifeline, providing medicine, food, and a modicum of peace—especially welcome since lately their ailments have escalated from bruises and fevers to broken bones and knife wounds. At the moment, however, the mysterious death of railway magnate Nolan Baltimore in a sleazy neighborhood brothel overshadows all else. Whether he fell or was pushed, the shocking question in everyone's mind is: What was such a pillar of respectability doing in a seedy place of sin?
Meanwhile, brilliant private investigator William Monk acquires a new client, a mysterious beauty who asks him to ascertain beyond a shadow of a doubt whether or not her fiancé, an executive in Nolan Baltimore's thriving railway firm, has become enmeshed in fraudulent practices that could ruin him.
As Hester ventures into violent streets to learn who is responsible for the brutal abuse of her patients, Monk embarks upon a journey into the English countryside, where the last rails are being laid for a new line. But the sight of tracks stretching into the distance revives memories once stripped from his consciousness by amnesia—as a past almost impossible to bear returns, eerily paralleling a fresh tragedy that has already begun its inexorable unfolding.
About the Author
Among Anne Perry's other novels featuring investigator William Monk are "Funeral in Blue," "Slaves of Obsession," "The Twisted Root," and "A Breach of Promise." She also writes the popular novels featuring Thomas and Charlotte Pitt, including "The Whitechapel Conspiracy," "Half Moon Street," "Bedford Square," and "Brunswick Gardens." Her short story "Heroes" won an Edgar Award. Anne Perry lives in Scotland. Visit her Web site at www.anneperry.net. "From the Hardcover edition."
Praise For…
"Few mystery writers this side of Arthur Conan Doyle can evoke Victorian London with such relish for detail and mood."
–San Francisco Chronicle
"Perry can write a Victorian mystery that would make Dickens's eyes pop."
–The New York Times Book Review

In my first blog I wrote about how this foreign tour was happening at the perfect time due to our growing and youthful team. I thought a nine-day trip would be great for camaraderie as well as a growing experience for all of our players, particularly the ones who had never been out of the country before. I was interested to hear if our players thought this was actually the case after dinner on our final night in Italy.
After dessert, Coach Beilein asked each player to stand up and share their thoughts on the trip and the experience as a whole. Starting with the freshmen, Kam volunteered right away to talk about his experience. He spoke about how he got to know a lot more about his teammates, especially his roommate Zak and how it was good to finally play as a group instead of just playing against each other in open gyms. Ricky then added that without having cell service and spotty at best WiFi throughout the trip, everyone spent a ton more time conversing and getting to know each other.
As the rest of the team went through and shared their thoughts, many shared the same opinions on team bonding, while others thanked our tour guides and Coach Beilein for this once-in-a-lifetime experience. Spike in particular added that he's never been overseas before and experiencing Italian culture first hand really broadened his horizons. He thanked everyone for being a part of this incredible experience.
Once the players and rest of the staff, Coach Beilein had a few closing remarks and added that he thinks this team can really do something special this year.
I think he might be right.
Thanks again everyone for reading, we're looking forward to another great year.
