About the Match-Up
Pitt and Mount St. Mary's are meeting for the sixth time in program history. The showdown is the sixth in the last seven years. The Panthers hold a 5-0 edge in head-to-head showdowns and are 4-0 at the Petersen Events Center.
The teams last met on Nov. 29, 2011 at the Petersen Events Center with Pitt posting a 58-45 win. Ashlee Anderson had 13 points and a career-high nine rebounds, while Brianna Kiesel pumped in 12 points. The Panthers jumped out to a 12-0 lead to start the game. The Mount made it a ball game in the second half - using a 17-10 tear to cut the deficit to seven, but would get no closer.
Other Memorable Meetings
The Panthers recorded 14 steals, setting a Petersen Events Center record, when the squads faced off on Dec. 4, 2010. The 30 points scored by the Mount in that same game were the fewest by a Pitt opponent since Nov. 18, 1981. Pitt has held Mount St. Mary's to 12 points in a half twice in the previous five meetings.
Scouting Mount St. Mary's
The Mountaineers are 4-4 on the season and have won three games in a row, lastly defeating Seton Hall, 74-64, in South Orange, N.J. Three players scored in double figures led by last year's leading scorer Sydney Henderson. The redshirt junior guard had 27 points and 10 rebounds (all defensive). Junior forward Jessie Kaufman had 16 points, which included a 4-of-9 performance from behind the arc. Mount shot a season-high 48.9 percent versus the Pirates.
Mount has posted double-digit steals in four games and seven or more swipes in five contests. In addition, the squad - who leads the NEC in free throw percentage (.804) - has shot over 78 percent from the free throw line in seven of eight games.
Henderson is averaging 16.4 points per game and 7.3 rebounds. Kaufman is second in scoring, averaging 10.6 points. The two have combined to drain 34 of the team's 47 3-pointers. Selina Mann has 29 steals for the Mountaineers - just over 41% of the team's total 70 steals. The Mount roster features a Pittsburgh native (freshman Jayla Leftwich) and two ties to the Panthers. Sophomore Lindsay Williams attended high school at St. John's College (HS) in the suburban Maryland area - as did former Pitt guard Taneisha Harrison. Mount junior Rachel Matthews is a Midlothian (HS) graduate - Athletic Trainer Ann Marie Porada is also a Midlothian product.
Versus the NEC
Pitt holds a 44-3 record against teams from the Northeast Conference (NEC). The only three losses to current NEC league members have come to state rival Saint Francis. Mount St. Mary's is the second NEC program that Pitt has faced this season as the Panthers defeated Wagner, 65-39, on Nov. 20.

Pitt head coach Agnus (McGlade) Berenato is a 1980 graduate of Mount St. Mary's and was a three-year starter for the Mountaineers. Playing for former NBA star Fred Carter, Berenato was twice named a captain. She has served on the University's Board of Trustee's for eight years and is currently a Trustee Emeritus.
Berenato received the Distinguished Alumni award from the Mount St. Mary's National Alumni Association and in 1995 was given an honorary doctorate in Humane Letters. Berenato was awarded the Bicentennial Medal of Distinction from the University in 2008.
Have We Met Before?
Berenato is facing her former college team for the ninth time in her college career. Prior to Pitt's meeting with the Mount in 2006, Berenato had not faced her alma mater since the 2000-01 season. Berenato defeated Mount St. Mary's 102-90 on Nov. 11, 2000 when she was the head coach at Georgia Tech.
Berenato faced Mount St. Mary's twice as the head coach at Rider University in New Jersey and once during her tenure at Georgia Tech. Rider dropped a 67-37 contest to the Mount in 1983. The next season, Mount St. Mary's was 72-50 winners over the Broncs in the opening round of the Mount St. Mary's Tip-off Classic on Nov. 30, 1984.

These articles are time-sensitive cultural management pieces that address current growing conditions and seasons.
California avocado growers are encouraged to attend a new seminar designed to help growers identify potential means of reducing water use and costs, and to learn about the Metropolitan Water District's new cash incentive opportunities that can help growers improve water use efficiency through the use of soil moisture sensors and other technologies.
The California Department of Pesticide Regulation issued a Section 18 Emergency Exemption for the use of Hero® EW Insecticide against the polyphagous shot hole borer (PSHB) on Monday April 11, 2016.
The USDA recently announced double-digit growth in the number of organic operations in the U.S. — a 12 percent increase between 2014 and 2015 — and reported that an increasing number of consumers demonstrate interest in locally grown food. Read more about the study, as well as the resources available to growers interested in organic production.
These articles are a collection of perennial cultural management best practices.
As growers and pest control advisors plan their arthropod pest management program for 2014, they should consider the consequences of pesticide resistance that would make pest management problematic in the future.
View three presentations concerning threats posed to California avocado groves by new pests and diseases, including laurel wilt disease, fusarium dieback disease, the polyphagous shot hole borer and the Florida redbay ambrosia beetle.
Because avocado trees are tropical rainforest trees, they are active year-round — and that means cultural management of avocado groves is necessary throughout the year. In fall, growers should prepare avocado groves for winter weather events, flush out accumulated salts, and apply pruning techniques and fertilization for optimal spring performance.

By Ridge Mahoney
Here are a trio of impressions in the wake of Spain crashing from its
pedestal and the Netherlands rebounding from a dismal showing two years ago in the European Championships:
THE DUTCH ARE A TREAT. Finalists in 2010
but first-round victims at the Euros two years ago, the Dutch came into the 2014 World Cup clouded by doubts.
They had won nine of 10 qualifiers without playing a team ranked by FIFA
amongst the top 30 nations in the world, so their incredible goal margin of 35-5 seemed tainted. Well, they romped through Group B by scoring 10 and conceding three with a bold elan typified by Robin van Persie's spectacular flying header late in the first half against Spain.
There's no question the Dutch can attack with speed and
menace. Arjen Robben's sensational solo goal against Australia was as devastating as it was brilliantly simple; he charged through a challenge to win a
ball in midfield and motored through the middle to finish smartly. He netted twice against Spain by getting possession in the box -- once from a chipped pass, once on the dribble -- and smashing home
left-footed shots.
The Dutch played some great soccer in 2010 as well. They topped their group by winning all three games, defeating Denmark (2-0), Japan (1-0), and Cameroon (2-1).
Slovakia fell in the round of 16 by a 2-1 score, as did Brazil in the quarterfinals. They then ousted upstart Uruguay, 3-2, in the semifinals thanks to goals just three minutes apart by Wesley Sneijder and Robben to break open a 1-1 tie.
Rather than risk an open game against the matadors of Spain in the final, the Dutch came out clawing
and hacking. Nigel de Jong's kick into the chest of Xabi Alonso for which he wasn't sent off exemplified
their approach that day. Seven of de Jong's teammates were also shown the yellow card, and John Heitinga departed after viewing it twice. So there's
always the suspicion they could revert to their rugged ways in the knockout phase.
And Australia exposed a few defensive frailties. Tim
Cahill's sensational volley a minute after Robben scored couldn't be stopped but the Aussies kept pushing. Australia took a 2-1 lead early in the second half before van Persie
equalized and Memphis Depay scored with a long, bouncing shot that Aussie keeper Maty Ryan should have saved.
Dank je wel to the Dutch for their electrifying play in a first-round rife with goals and drama. They certainly did their more than their share.
ADIOS ESPANA. No one was too surprised that a magical run
that began with the 2008 European Championships finally ran its course in 2014, but the suddenness and totality of said ending did cause consternation. The Spaniards couldn't recover from their
roasting by the Dutch and were eliminated when they lost their second group match to Chile, 2-0. A 3-0 defeat of Australia sent them home with at least some pride restored yet beset by questions of
what happens next.
Everton manager and Spanish native Roberto Martinez, whose inspired and insightful commentary on ESPN is ample reason to tune in, bluntly stated that the generation of
players that mesmerized the world by slick passing and seemingly endless possession has aged and fresh faces are needed to carry the banner forward. A decided lack of leadership -- yes, stalwart
defender Carles Puyol missed the tournament because of injuries but numerous other veterans had shouldered that burden in recent years -- and a glaring dearth
of spirit and energy left observers puzzled.
Before the tournament, all-time record scorer David Villa -- who will start his MLS career in January
with New York City FC -- announced he would retire from international play. He signed off by netting an amazing back-heeled goal, his 59th for his country, in the 3-0 defeat of Australia.
Many players were apparently burned out from grueling league and international seasons with Champions League winner Real Madrid, La Liga titlist Atletico Madrid and Barcelona, and they fell victim to
shrewd tactical plans that bottled up the Spanish midfield and ran at their back line at every opportunity.
The world awaits to know how many members of this golden generation will follow
Villa to close out a wonderful era.
CHILE REDUX. For the second straight World Cup, Chile advanced out of a group that included Spain, and once again
it will face Brazil in the round of 16.
It secured that spot by powering past Spain in the second group game, seizing the initiative early by buzzing the Spanish goal twice in the opening
minutes and taking a 2-0 halftime lead on goals by Eduardo Vargas and Charles Aranguiz. It then frustrated its opponent
in the same manner as Spain has done the past six years, by moving into open spaces and knocking crisp, accurate passes. Roared on by entire sections of fans clad mainly in red, Chile rode that energy
to one of its most memorable victories.
Rather than work its way into the tournament when it opened against Australia, Chile charged out of the gate and led, 2-0, after 14 minutes. Alexis Sanchez and Jorge Valdivia scored just two minutes apart and it then had to work hard to contain the Australians, which
got back a goal through Cahill and pestered Chile until Jean Beausejour netted in stoppage time. A measure of the team's attacking zeal is this stat: in the
three group games, Sanchez was fouled 15 times
One of the interesting subplots to the round of 16 showdown is how many Chilean fans can get tickets to the game Saturday in Belo Horizonte.
Capacity at the Estadio Mineirao is 58,170. Regardless, Chilean representation at the FanFests will be large, loud and boisterous.

America's hospitals are places of healing and hope. But they're also home to a growing threat. You may have heard of MSRA - a dangerous infection that can often be treated with antibiotics. Now there's a new class of superbugs - infections striking patients with little or no effective treatment at all.
Jackie Cash and her sisters, Katie and Moira, weren't worried when their 78-year-old father, Bill Shields, checked into a New York hospital earlier this month with a highly treatable form of pneumonia.
CBS News Anchor Katie Couric reports this once-healthy, active man is now clinging to life after he got an infection that's resisted everything the doctors have thrown at it.
(Scroll down to watch the video.)
"You realize there may not be something out there that can actually fix this," Moira said. "That is a horrendous realization."
The organism raging through Bill Shields is KPC-KLEBSIELLA. It's one of five deadly superbugs turning up in America's hospitals with alarming frequency. They're now responsible for 60 percent of all intensive care unit infections.
"What these organisms have done, by creating super-antibiotic resistance, is that they've set medicine back 70 years in time," said Brad Spellberg.
Spellberg is an infectious disease doctor and author of new book, Rising Plague.
Spellberg said "there are increasing cases of infections caused by bacteria that are resistant to every FDA-approved antibiotic. And we literally have no treatment for those bacteria."
The particularly vicious Klebsiella, first reported 10 years ago in one state, has now been found in hospitals in 35 states.
Arjun Srinivasan tracks these lethal bugs for the Centers for Disease Control. "I think the most common sources that we see from the transmission of these types of organisms are the hands of healthcare personnel," he said.

350 surging at 1800 rpm
Hi, this is my first post with HR's
I have a 71 350, 4 bolt, 8:1 compression
TH350 up to a NP205 turning 3.83 on 33's
750 Demon, mechanical 2nds, no choke, stock jets (I know, I know, but new for $200 you'd use it too)
Edelbrock performer intake
Summit billet HEI vacuum, new module, new condensor - set to 14degrees
Stock heads,
Edelbrock 280/290 430/440 @112 hyd flat cam
Roller rockers - 1/2 turn past lash adjusted
I burned a lobe about 1000 miles ago. Put in the new Ed cam kit and ran fine. Noticed that as time went on a surge has developed around 1800 - 2000 rpms. No notice at all at idle or in park and reved up to 1800 range. As soon as I put it in drive and have load the car will cruise down the road then subtle surge will kick in around 1800 rpms. The car will make a very slight acceleration (maybe 1-2 mph) then cut back and start over again. Get it above 2000 and the surge goes away. Problem is I'm always cruising around 1800-2000 and notice it. I checked the vacuum off manifold, solid. Checked the booster valve, fine. Warmed up and sprayed carb cleaner around engine, no change in idle.
Then I was traveling up a grade on the freeway, threw it in 2nd and climbed about a mile distance at 3500 rpm. Got her warm as soon as I pulled off the freeway and came to idle she stalled. Would start back up with some kicking, idle fine, rev fine, put it in D with some load and died. Kept doing it until she cooled back down. Thought maybe the control module was going so I just replaced it. However the surge is still there.
What in the world is it? The carb? It's less than 1500 miles old... Is it a bad ground? But then why would it rev over 2000 fine? Is it a bad lifter messing the valve adjustment?
Any help would be great!
Check your power valves probably not matched to your vacume
Nope, ran it again tonight, stall issue happened again. Died, would start, idle won't run under load, still had the surge issue around 1800 rpm. Valves were fine with previuos blueracer cam at same specs.
Help pleas
Do you have a insulator plate under the carb or is the carb bolted directly to the intake? It could be that you are getting some fuel boil in the bowls. Also, make sure you are running the correct heat range plugs and re-check the plug gap and check that the carb floats are adjusted correctly.
A "surge" at the RPM range you are feeling it could be the mechanical advance being right at the cusp of wanting to come in more, and is waffling back and forth. For testing purposes, replace one spring that's now on the mechanical advance mechanism w/a stronger spring- this will increase the RPM where advance occurs and will tell you if that's the problem.
An over advanced ignition will cause a surge, also- so the spring swap will show if there's any issue w/the ignition advance- and if it is, you can then diagnose whether it's the advance coming in too soon or if it's just too much advance at that RPM. If it's the latter, there is an inexpensive cure to limit the vac can's travel w/a VACUUM ADVANCE LIMITER PLATE- Crane #99619-1, #99619-1 INSTRUCTIONS, if your unit is not adjustable.
The carb float level should be verified, and be sure the float hasn't taken on any gas. Usually just shaking the float (if brass) will tell you if it has a pinhole leak, but obviously this requires pulling the bowl. And has been said, heat soak into the carb can cause problems, even possible signs of a vapor lock are being shown by the stalling and hard re-start.
There's always the possibility of too much fuel pressure overwhelming the float's ability to control the flow. What do the plugs look like to you? At this point, you should try to determine if the cause of any carb problems are due to a rich or lean condition. Not knowing if there even is a carb problem complicates diagnosing things. But generally speaking, I tend to want the timing properly sorted out BEFORE I go after the carb tune.
You want to check the vacuum at idle, w/the trans in gear. Take that reading (the engine has to be in tune) and divide it in half to arrive at the power valve you need to use.
But how the ignition timing is set up has a LOT to do w/how much vacuum you will see at idle. There have been many posts on setting up a timing curve for performance, even one today. I'd check it and others out for an idea of what's needed in that regard, or give the details of the vehicle (weight, use, gears, tranny, fuel, head casting number, etc.) and maybe someone here can make some suggestions.
You can DETERMINE TDC if you have any doubt if the damper line and the timing tab are accurate.
Also, you can MAKE A TIMING TAPE. This temporary tape will allow you to read the advance beyond what the tab allows- if you don't have a degreed damper or a dial back timing light.
Good luck.
On the power valves, all i'm looking at is the PCV and Booster Check Valve, correct? The Demon carb doesn't have a master valve like the Holley does.
Then on the carb, I have a 2 inch aluminum spacer. And I think I can rule out boil, cuz the surge happens when running cold. Also the bowls do not get hot when touched. When I got the carb I set it to Berry Grant specs and it ran GREAT with the old cam. That however was during winter and the weather is quite warm now. The floats are fine, there's two filters 1 at the tank, other in front of carb and both run clear.
I'll change the springs, from what I understand the "pink" springs are probably my best bet...
Coming home last night after a cool down, the surge was still there and maybe I'm missinterpreting it as a cuttout... Reason being I got a couple pop's coming from the exhaust when trying to accelerate and there's definitely a loss in power. Am I looking at the begining of a burned valve? Could the previous burned cam lobe, which was on +4 exhaust have started a blowbuy and that is now grown? I'm pulling the plugs and will run a leak down test. Would a burnt valve cause these conditions? Would make sense that when cold the valve is still seating enough to not throw the Vacuum gauge off, but after warmed up and expanded it would start to loose more blowbuy. Would that cause the stall and hard start?
The power valve (aka "PV") I'm referring to, is an internal carb valve that allows a richer a/f mixture depending on the engine load. It is "sized" by what vacuum reading allows the enrichment to occur. A "65" PV will start to add fuel when the vacuum drops to 6.5 in/Hg of vacuum, for instance. Usually anything over 12 in/Hg will use a 65 PV, but lower and higher rated valves are available depending on the idle vacuum (in "D" for AT, in neutral for a stick trans).
When you say "pink springs", are you talking about the secondary spring? There are purple, but no pink- or are you by some chance talking about an Edelbrock or Carter carb, and the pink springs are step up springs, used on the primary metering rods?? This carb doesn't have a PV...
The previous cam lobe wipe-out wouldn't in and of itself cause a valve seal problem.
If the valve was adjusted too tight, that could set into motion a burned valve. The valve needs to be on the seat long enough to cool itself, if this wasn't allowed to happen- for whatever reason- it can overheat the valve and this, in turn, can erode and/or warp the valve.
But I still think the problem is more ignition timing related. But even if it isn't, the tining curve needs to be sorted out to optimize it, and to exclude it as being a cause to the problems you're having. Once that's done, move on to the carb. At least that's how I've usually done it.
OK, sorry for the delay, took me awhile to get around to making the changes.
I've changed the following:
1. New ignition wires
2. jets on the demon to 64 mains, 76 secondaries
3. Set Demon idle mix 1-1/2 turns out, EZ idle mix screw 2 turns out
4. "had" 14 psi vacuum, put in a 6.5 PV
5. swapped out mechanical advance springs to Mr Gasket black/lightest
6. loosened the rockers, let the hyd lifters rise and re-adjusted the valves 1/2 turn pass lash
7. Set initial timing at 8 deg, given new spings hit 24 deg by 3K rpm + vacuum adv.
It runs worse...
Current issues:
1. @8deg initial, I can't get the idle to drop down below 900rpm
2. Current vacuum is now at 16.6!!!
3. When I took #1 exh rocker off, there was a mar on the valve head. Looks like the rocker slipped over and the roller was digginn in at an angle. It's a very small gouge, not deep - but noticable, maybe 2mm by 5mm in size. Took a small file to the head to clean up the bur. Came out pretty clean.
4. There's a rocker clicking. Coming from drivers valve cover and damn if it doesn't sound like #1 exh.
5. When running, idles fine, throtles fine in park, nice exhaust, little rich. Accelerate and it studders and is rough from 1600 - 1900 rpm. Fine after getting up over 2K.
6. Bogs when stomping the trottle (probably cleaned up with idle mix tune)
Haven't ran the leak down test on all cylinders yet. Is it a bad valve that's causing all this?
any help would be great
OH!!! the surge did go away though
I'm guessing it was the spring, thanks cobalt!

from journalism to public relations. Whether they supported crime
victims at the Northampton office of District Attorney Elizabeth
D. Scheibel '77, compiled research for CNBC's America Now,
or developed hands-on activities for a new Art Discovery Center
at Springfield's George Walter Vincent Smith Museum, this year's
interns took full advantage of their three-week work experiences.
Some even discovered passions they plan to continue this term,
next summer, or after graduation. In the following short pieces,
some J-Term interns reflect on what they learned.
Amber Cushing '04
District Attorney's Office
Northampton, Massachusetts
Working for the Victim/Witness
(VW) Unit of the northwestern district attorney's office in Northampton,
I spent many hours in court observing and taking notes for the
VW advocates, whose job is to ensure that victims in all cases
prosecuted by the commonwealth understand the legal process, convey
victims' desired outcomes to the assistant district attorney (ADA)
handling the case, and emotionally support victims during court
proceedings. The advocates and ADA work as a team and depend on
each other to make cases run more smoothly. In my three weeks
working for the district attorney's office, I became more familiar
with Massachusetts law and the court system, as well as what goes
on outside the courtroom. I feel proud to have been part of a
system that helps ease the stress of crime victims. I also enjoy
knowing that my tasks had a purpose; if I had not been there to
take notes on cases, the advocates could not have spent as much
time with the victims while court was in session. Although I will
remain an avid viewer of the televsion law series The Practice,
in which lawyers single-handedly "save the day," I will
watch it with the understanding that a team effort is necessary
for successful prosecutions.
"She was fabulous,"
said Susan Manatt, director of the Victim/Witness Unit. "Amber
was competent and intelligent, and pitched right in. She did a
beautiful job on a special project, reorganizing and reinventorying
our lending library of victim books and brochures. She took the
initiative, ran with it, and did a very thorough job. Our experience
with Lanae Erickson '03 in our Greenfield office was equally positive.
At first we wondered how much work interns could possibly do in
three weeks, but we've been very pleased with the quality of their
work and how much they were able to accomplish."
M. Kim '02, America Now intern
Jennifer M. Kim
CNBC America Now
Fort Lee, New Jersey
I have a self-designed
major in communications and hope to have a career in broadcasting,
so completing an internship this January at CNBC's new show America
Now offered a great opportunity to glimpse the field of television.
America Now is a nightly show that discusses the day's
top stories from a business/economic perspective. I began a typical
day by finding online opinion and editorial articles relevant
to the show's topic, as well as assisting producers in researching
topics. Other responsibilities included logging press conferences,
shooting visuals, and obtaining videos from archives. Although
I mainly assisted the news associate by distributing scripts and
guest lists, setting up the anchors' set, compiling show files,
and greeting guests, I often shadowed producers and editors in
the control and editing rooms. My desire to learn was met by their
desire to teach. I was even given the rare opportunity to make
my own video package, which I have added to my portfolio. Having
a hands-on experience in devising my own story, editing the package,
and recording my own script was an opportunity I could never have
gotten in the classroom.

Smiths office, and another intern
(Rachelle) Rhiannon
Palmer '04
Senator Gordon Smith
Portland, Oregon
I accepted an internship
with Senator Gordon Smith (Republican, Oregon) in his district
office in Portland, choosing Portland rather than D.C., because
there were fewer interns there. Smith's D.C. office can take as
many as fifteen interns; in Portland, there were only two of us.
From the first day, I was thrown right in, answering phones, responding
to letters, researching appropropriations for the field representative
for natural resources. It was a little overwhelming but a great
experience for me in many ways, and one that helped me narrow
my career interests. I thought that being a senator was all glamour,
but after this job, I know I don't have the stomach or thick skin
to handle the criticism that comes with it. But I did like the
work of the legislative assistants, who compile information and
constituent opinions on state issues for the senator. I worked
long hoursmy day started at 5:30 am, and often I didn't
get home until 7 pmbut I loved every minute of it. The staff
was wonderful, and I made use of my networking skills. They must
have worked, because I was invited to a presidential dinner in
"Rachelle was
great," said executive assistant Kirsten Zimmerman, who coordinates
interns for Senator Smith's office. "She's a very quick learner,
someone who could jump right in at a very busy office. We would
have loved to have her here longer."

with four other Museum of Jewish Heritage interns
Jill Graboski '03
Museum of Jewish Heritage
New York, New York
I was one of sixteen
interns from throughout the Northeast chosen to work with educators
at the Museum of Jewish HeritageA Living Memorial to the
Holocaust, located in New York City's Battery Park, to learn how
to teach about twentieth-century Jewish history and the Holocaust.
The training, which was supported by a grant from the Gruss Lipper
Foundation, consisted of readings, discussions, and meetings with
museum personnel. Besides working with the staff and other interns,
the most memorable and moving part of the training was meeting
with Holocaust survivors and hearing their stories. This semester
I will apply my training with local middle school and/or high
school students by presenting them a slide show, taking them to
the museum in New York, giving them the museum's "Meeting
Hate with Humanity" tour, and providing a follow-up visit
to discuss what they learned. I am honored to be a Lipper intern.
Not only am I applying my major in history and minor in museum
education, but I am also acting as an ambassador for a wonderful
museum with invaluable messages of social justice, remembrance,
hope, and tolerance.
Hayley Beers '05
Ronald McDonald House
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
I spent three weeks
as an intern at the Philadelphia Ronald McDonald House, the first
Ronald McDonald House created. The internship allowed me to explore
my interest in pursuing a career in a not-for-profit organization,
enabling me to experience the day-to-day routine of one. My goal,
to learn how a not-for-profit operates on a daily basis, was definitely
met, because I did not work in one set area of the house but instead
moved day-to-day between the administrative office and the office
of the director of volunteers. Among my duties were answering
phone calls and family queries, writing letters, and choosing
the graphics for the House's monthly newsletter. My supervisor,
Director of Volunteers Tina McDonnell, and the rest of the staff
at the house were incredible. They welcomed me onto the staff
wholeheartedly, inviting me to share not only in the work but
also in staff traditions, such as Friday lunch at a nearby restaurant.
I had a great time; not only did I learn a lot, but I was able
to see firsthand how organizations such as the Ronald McDonald
House are able to make a significant positive impact on the families
they serve.
Director of Volunteers
Tina McDonnell said, "What a gift Hayley was. We were so
fortunate to have her. We ask volunteers to do hundreds of different
tasks that require commonsense decisions. Hayley was thoughtful
and mature. She had tremendous common sense and caught on very
quickly. In the short time she was here, she even showed longtime
volunteers shortcuts on the computer, and she did it in such an
unassuming and kind way that they took to her right away. She's
a fabulous kid who shared a lot of herself with us. I hope she
will come back."

Hannah Hafter '04
Global Exchange
San Francisco, California
Global Exchange is
a nonprofit research, education, and action center charged with
increasing global awareness in the United States and building
international partnerships around the world. I accomplished far
more than I expected with Global Exchange: calling members of
Congress and setting up a network of town hall meetings to discuss
immigrant rights post-September 11; compiling a one-hundred-page
reading packet for a delegation traveling to the U.S./Mexico border
to examine increased militarization; creating a handout describing
President Bush's military tribunals and their dangers; writing
the text for a widely distributed pamphlet describing Global Exchange's
Public Education Campaign and how to get involved; doing preliminary
organizing for a speaker's tour; and more. Beyond learning skills
and contributing to something important, I gained a better understanding
of my role in global issues, from economic justice to civil rights.
I realized, for instance, that the cheap fruits and vegetables
I bought from street stands on my way home from work were related
to the poor labor conditions of the exploited migrant workers
I was researching eight hours a day. I plan to continue not-for-profit
work in the future and know wherever it takes me, the skills and
understanding I gained at Global Exchange will shape my direction.
Hartwyk '03 helps a young visitor at Springfields
George Walter Vincent Smith Museum.
Kate Hartwyk '03
George Walter Vincent Smith Museum
Springfield, Massachusetts
My experience at the
George Walter Vincent Smith (GWVS) Museum at the Springfield Quadrangle
was truly rewarding and helped me identify some of my strengths
and weaknesses. I researched symbols in Eastern art that will
be included in an activity in the Art Discovery Center, a permanent
installation currently under construction. I also researched the
life of Japan's samurai warriors, whose arms and armor are displayed
in the museum. In addition to doing research, I observed and led
tours for kindergartners through second graders at the GWVS and
at the quadrangle's Museum of Fine Arts. For one tour, I had free
rein to design a craft to teach two groups of Montessori schoolchildren
the creative process involved in designing the Discovery Center.
The tours gave me an opportunity to learn about collections at
the quadrangle and to overcome my discomfort with public speaking
and teaching. When I was not working on research or tours, I was
working with three artists, two from Tibet and one from UMass,
who were designing the Discovery Center through a tedious and
detailed process of chalking stencils onto the walls, then applying
a textured outline and several layers and colors of decorative
paint. Watching them allowed me to truly appreciate the creative
process sometimes overlooked by art historians. On the whole,
my internship was a wonderful opportunity to try my hand at many
different aspects of museum education.
"Kate brought
a real fresh enthusiasm to the museum," said Julia Courtney,
director of museum education for art and history. "It was
clear to me that she has a love of art, art history, and education.
She was hardworking and had a real gift in developing rapport
with the students and helping them understand what they were seeing.
We were very blessed to have her, and I only wish she could be
here longer." The museum would like to have additional interns
this spring. Contact Julia Courtney, museum educator for art and
history, at 263-6800, ext. 323.
Lindsey Coyle '04
Dittus Communications
Washington, D.C.
Dittus Communications
turned out to be the most fantastic learning environment! This
public relations office is divided into teams, and I worked on
projects for each of them. For the technology policy team, for
example, I compiled a comprehensive media list for a major press
conference for Dell Computers. For the administration team, I
attended a seminar regarding company security with CEOs of Capitol
Hill's top tech firms. My biggest, most exciting project was doing
press relations for the "Gala Concert" of Operalia 2001,
an international vocal competition for young opera hopefuls headed
by Placido Domingo. Pre-concert, I pitched the event to TV, news,
and daybook editors. During the concert, I was in charge of the
press table. I even met Mr. Domingo! Post-concert, I prepared
media clips and developed the wrap-up report book. During this
internship, I developed such sensitivity to detail that I could
quickly spot and rectify a journalist's error. I learned that
public relations is not a nine-to-five job; you work long hours
to produce a result synonymous with the client's idea of success.
I also learned that while it's hard to get motivated working towards
a vague goal in college, public relations clients make goals clear
at conception. You are motivated simply because you work against
deadlines and heavy competition. I was lucky to discover that
I love public relations. I'm heading back to D.C. this summer!
Caroline Dietz, internship
coordinator and technology policy team assistant account executive,
called Coyle's internship "a valuable experience for our
company." She said, "In three weeks, Lindsey became
very much part of our team. Her help was absolutely appreciated
by all. She showed dedication to the clients, was punctual, and
was always willing to helpand help in a very positive way.
Her enthusiasm will serve her well in this industry. We really
enjoyed having her here and hope she will come back in the summer."
Claire Salier-Hellendag
Harris County Public Health and Environmental Services
Houston, Texas
I was an intern at
Harris County Public Health and Environmental Services (PHES),
in Houston, Texas. This organization provides services to all
of Harris County, Texas, except for the city of Houston. I worked
in the epidemiology section of PHES. This section surveys the
county for outbreaks of disease, provides information to county
residents about diseases, and tracks and reports certain diseases
and deaths. Before this internship, I thought epidemiology sounded
interesting, but I really did not know anything about it. Now
I have a much better sense of what disease surveillance is and
what career options are available in epidemiology. The best thing
about this internship was the people. They were all incredibly
nice and went out of their way to make me feel welcome. The chief
epidemiologist even gave me a tour of Houston and arranged for
tours of the Houston city labs and the Harris County jail so that
I could observe other kinds of public health jobs. I am not sure
if disease surveillance is the direction in which I want to go,
but this internship did help me realize the scope and importance
of public health.
"She was really
interested and really sharp and absorbed everything that was given
to her," said Cindy Kilborn, PHES chief epidemiologist. "She
was our first intern from Mount Holyoke, and we really enjoyed
having her here."
Cata '03 at Goldman Sachs
Raluca Cata '03
Goldman Sachs
New York, New York
My internship in the
foreign exchange sales department at Goldman Sachs was extremely
challenging, interesting, and even more exciting than I expected
it to be. I worked in a huge room that occupied an entire floor
of the building and was filled with rows of small desks, each
with at least three computer monitors and a telephone with many
lines ringing all the time. It was very exciting to work in such
a frantic environment, listening to employees talk to clients
and shout out trades to each other. The days went by really quickly,
because I was so busy learning about the concepts of foreign exchange
trading and the specifics of the different jobs on a trading floor.
My responsibilities were contributing to the writing of the foreign
exchange newsletters and supporting the people in my department
with different projects. Besides the exposure to the foreign exchange
trading floor, I loved the challenge of figuring out things by
myself and doing everything quickly and well at the same time.
I loved the trading floor environment, the work, and the people.
The internship was a great experience, in which I learned a lot
about myself and my career goals.
McGann '02 worked with skeletal remains at the Florida Museum
of Natural History.
Sarah McGann '02
Florida Museum of Natural History
Gainesville, Florida
I spent two weeks
interning at the Florida Museum of Natural History, where the
skeletal remains of 143 Native Americans were recently returned
to the collection. These were the remains of Native Americans
who lived and died at a Spanish mission on Amelia Island in the
seventeenth century. They had been lent to the University of North
Carolina at Chapel Hill as part a study of the impact of colonialism
on the health, diet, and demography of Native Americans. A leading
anthropologist was conducting this research. I worked under the
supervision of collection manager Scott Mitchell to begin the
process of taking inventory, curating, and reintegrating the remains
that will go back into the museum's collection. We began by removing
the crania and bags of cranial fragments and teeth from the boxes
of bones. We placed each skull on a "doughnut," a ring
we fashioned out of thick foam and superglue, and placed all loose
bags with the matching crania. Next, we transferred all bagged
material into thicker, acid-free bags to ensure prolonged protection.
Each bag was specifically labeled to prevent any mix-ups. During
my time at the museum, we finished organizing all of the cranial
material and were able to move on to the postcranial remains.
Opening boxes of completely intact femurs and bags of whole vertebrae
was quite exciting, and being able to work with and handle these
remains proved to be an extremely rewarding and thrilling experience.
"She was terrific.
She did a great job. Send us more!" said curator Jerald Milanich,
who explained that the Florida Museum of Natural History is in
compliance with federal and state regulations on handling human
remains. "Handling human bones is a sobering experience,"
he said. "But through this process, archaeologists can learn
tremendous amounts and give these people a voice for the historical

Whirlpool Residential washersmodel #WTW6200SW0
Questions & Answers about this model powered by
Whirlpool Cabrio washer leaking. Repairmen said too high RPMs causing splashovers. Any solutions?
Whirlpool Cabrio washer model WTW6200SW0 purchased in 2006 from Sears. When 1 yr old it started leaking small puddles, mostly near the front of the machine. Three Center Pt. Energy repairmen have looked at it. they concluded it is from high RMPs causing water to splash over the tub ring and down inside of the machine housing. They and I spoke to Whirlpool over the phone on two different occasions. Whirlpool does not acknowledge a problem or recall. I spoke to Sears technician over the phone. He suggested I purchase a tub ring. However, the part (W10130806) is already factory installed on the machine. Water's leaking into my subfloor so I can't just ignore it. Any suggestions?

I was resolved to accept the fact that our best option was the very unappealing group of free agents. Now I've said all along I could handle one of them as a fifth starter but taking on two, hoping that say a Colon has a rebound year and can be counted on for middle of the rotation numbers is hard to accept in early December. Just as I was acknowledging that this might be our fate rumors started to circulate about the Mets acquiring Bedard.
While this is still in the realm of blogosphere rumors it has pickup significant momentum. Initially Matt at Metsblog had a post that there was buzz about the Mets and O's working on a deal. There was even some speculation that Miguel Tajeda was included in the package as a salary dump, either coming to the Mets or going to the Angels in a three-way deal. Several reports state that those lisening to the WFAN tonight heard a report from Sweeny Murti that the Mets might be close to landing Bedard (MLBTR). Even one site had the presumed players in the trade, MLB-Rumors. Since about 8:30pm nothing further has come out, negitive or positive.
I'm still doubtful because there are other teams willing to put better packages on the table. I remember last year there was a similar incident with Zito, so I try not to get my hopes up but it's exciting to think of acquiring Bedard.

Hi there
I was wondering if anyone could recommend a good compression application or webapp for swf files.
I do the occasional animation in photoshop and exporting a large banner as a gif just looks plain ugly due to the limited color palette, exporting as a swf, gives me the image resolution I want – especially for photos/gradients but the file size is HUGE . Any suggestions for a decent swf image compression app would be much appreciated.
I would not take the risk of using a external compressor. Flash IDE has an option to compress the swf (inside publish options). Try to play with the resolution of the images to save some kbs. In case you can't get it, i've heard not too bad things about flashoptimizer.
Thanks pezflash, I'm useless at Flash, I dont quite know if Photoshop really qualifies as a Flash IDE so my save options are very limited I can just choose jpg and lossless, I'll try flashoptimizer.
As an advice, it's much better if you compress the images with photoshop than playing around with the flash publish compress settings. I recommend to keep the default compression of the images in flash, and make a good optimization in Photoshop "save for web" subapplication.
But yes, from my experience, working with the size requiered for banners in most of the sites is a hell. I have never done anything without sacrifying (more than i would like) image quality.

Possible waste water pipe along outside of home
2 Attachment(s)
I have placed a bid for a bank owned property in central Florida. The home is a single story ranch built in 1966. The bank has not yet formally accepted my offer, and therefore I have not had an inspection done yet, but I noticed something that seemed unusual. There is what appears to be an approx 2.5 inch PVC pipe that that comes out of the exterior wall (about where the kitchen sink is) and runs along the exterior of the house, makes a 90 degree turn around the corner, and runs towards the front of the house at a slight angle, and eventually disappears underground. The water was not turned on, so I couldn't really test it to confirm, but I am suspecting there was a serious blockage or root problem in the kitchen sink drain line, and they chose to run the kitchen waste line outside instead.
I could be wrong and would definitely have the inspector examine it closely, but I was curious if this is acceptable if my suspicion is correct? It obviously doesn't look good aesthetically, but other than that could it lead to other issues here in Florida? If it is a big deal, I would consider asking for a credit off the purchase price for repair.
Here are some pics where you can see the pipe running along the wall in the 1st picture and then rounding the corner in the 2nd picture..
Attachment 65885
Attachment 65886
Any input would be greatly appreciated.
Maybe a kitchen drain line re route its common but not entirely correct you'll need to pursuit when the water is on, sometimes owners prefer to run a new line rather than break up the floor in the home. depends on the circumstances.
Thanks for your reply. It's good to know its not unheard of at least.

BUFFALO, N.Y. - Marist kicks off its annual swing through western New York with it visits the Koessler Athletic Center for a 7 p.m. tip-off against Canisius on Friday night. Fresh off of a 3-0 homestand, the Red Foxes will look for the same magic away from McCann Arena as they will play the next three games on the road. Friday's game can be heard on the Red Fox Network as well as WKIP 1450 AM - Poughkeepsie with Geoff Brault giving the call. A live webstream is also available on The Red Fox Network and on GoGriffs.com. The pregame show will begin at 6:45.
Marist is 8-0 this season and 23-1 in the past two seasons when scoring at least 60 points.
The Red Foxes are looking to start 5-0 in the MAAC for the eighth consecutive season. Overall, Marist has won 14 straight conference games, including the postseason, dating back to last Feb. 4 at Manhattan.
Marist is currently 40th in the NCAA RPI rankings. The next highest team from the MAAC is Fairfield at 126th.
As a team, Marist is seventh in the country in free-throw percentage (.784).
Kristina Danella is just 32 points away from reach 1,000 for her career. The first 616 of her points came in her freshman and sophomore seasons when she was at UMass.
Emma O'Connor has already more than doubled her offensive output from a year ago, when she only scored 60 points. She has scored at least 10 points in eight of her past ten starts including a career-high 18 points against #2 UConn on Nov. 23 and on Dec. 2 at #12 Oklahoma. She never reached double figures in her first two years
Junior Leanne Ockenden has already proven to be one of the best sharpshooters in Marist history. She is alredady in the top-10 at Marist for three-pointers made, currently sittiing at eighth all-time with 118. She sits one behind Melissa Hauser (119) for seventh. Jean-Marie Lesko holds the top spot on the chart with 249 made three-pointers.
Canisius enters Friday's game with a 6-9 overall record and a 3-1 mark in the MAAC. The Golden Griffins have won four of their past five games including MAAC wins over Siena, Rider and Saint Peter's. Their one conference blemis was at the hands of Iona, a 68-54 loss at home.
The Golden Griffins are led offensively by the 2010 MAAC Rookie of the Year Jamie Ruttle who comes in averaging 9.4 PPG. Ashley Wilkes is the team's leading rebounder, grabbing 6.7 RPG while also blocking 1.3 shots per game. Tiahana Mills is second in the MAAC averaging 3.7 assists per game. Jen Morabito is the Griffs' three-point threat, hitting 40% (26-65) of her shots from beyond the arc.
This will be the 39th meeting all-time between the Red Foxes and Golden Griffins and the first of two regular season matchups this year. The two teams will meet again in a couple of weeks on Feb. 1 back in Poughkeepsie.
The Red Foxes have won the past eight meetings going back to the 2008-09 season including a 78-65 victory in the 2009 MAAC Championship game. Las season, Marist won both matchups, 69-57 at home, and 81-52 rout on the road. Canisius is the last team to beat the Red Foxes in the MAAC Tournament, defeating Marist 60-59 in the 2005 MAAC Championship game.
Last Time Out
Marist had another strong defensive effort, claiming a 69-55 victory over visiting Iona Sunday afternoon in a Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference (MAAC) game at McCann Arena.
The game was a matchup of the final two unbeaten teams in the conference.
Emma O'Connor (Lynbrook, N.Y.) led the offensive attack with 16 points, leading four players in double figures.
Casey Dulin (Milford, Conn.) had 13 points and a game-high seven rebounds while Elizabeth Beynnon (Burlington, Vt.) and Kristine Best (Commack, N.Y.) each added 12 points, a season-high for Best.
Leanne Ockenden (Syracuse, N.Y.) led the defense with five steals, tying her personal best in that category, while also adding a block.
In all, the Red Foxes had a season-high 15 steals while forcing 25 Iona turnovers.
After using eight different lineups all of last season, Head Coach Brian Giorgis has already used six different starting lineups this year.
The only two players that have stayed locked in the starting five are Leanne Ockenden at guard and Elizabeth Beynnon at forward.
Casey Dulin has started all but two game as she was not in the starting lineup versus Princeton due to back spasms and against Iona due to an excused absence from practice. Emma O'Connor has not started the past two games due to a wrist injury. Natalie Gomez started 10 consecutive games from Nov. 17 through Jan. 4. Kristina Danella has also made three starts, Kristine Best has made three and Sydney Coffey has made one start.
Coffey made her first career start in just her third career game, becoming the fastest player to join the starting lineup in Giorgis' tenure.
After receiving one vote in the ESPN/USA Today Coaches' Preseason Poll, the Red Foxes moved up to as many as seven votes after the first weekend of games.
For the first few weeks of the season, Marist had been ranked in the top 10 of the CollegeInsider.com Mid Major poll, but have dropped to #14 in this week's poll. The Red Foxes have reached as high as sixth and are the only team from the MAAC in the Top-25. Also making the list is Princeton at #8, who Marist defeated 56-45 on Nov. 17 in Poughkeepsie when the Tigers were ranked 4th. Hartford and Boston University, who have both beaten the Red Foxes, sit just ahead of Marist at #9 and #10, respectively. Marist also defeated Hofstra, who sits just outside the Top-25 and has been in and out of the rankings, on Nov. 28, 85-70.
On Wednesday, Dec. 5, Marist Director of Athletics Tim Murray that head women's basketball coach Brian Giorgis has signed a contract extension through the 2020-21 season.
Murray on contract: "Brian has established our program as a consistent Top-40 team in the country. I'm thrilled with the idea of him spending his entire collegiate coaching career here at Marist. He's a special coach, and a special person. And I am excited that he will provide the Hudson River Valley excellent women's college basketball for many years."
Giorgis on contract: "I can't thank Marist College enough for offering me this extension and having the faith in me to lead this program into the next decade. We may not be a BCS program, but the support by both the administration and community is comparable or better than any BCS program in the country. I am truly humbled and appreciative of what Marist College has done for me during my tenure here and I thank God every day for bringing me here to Marist to be a part of this special community. I am truly blessed."
With the first two wins of this season, 66-45 over Vermont and 56-45 over Princeton. the Marist women's basketball program now stands at 500 wins since becoming a Division I program in the 1981-1982 season
Of those 500 wins, 253 belong to Giorgis.
This season marks the third straight year, and eighth time in Head Coach Brian Giorgis' 11-year career, that the Red Foxes have started off with a 1-1 record.
Also for the second straight year, Marist finished non-conference play under .500 with a 5-6 record. Last year, the Red Foxes went on to win 20 of their next 21 to claim their seventh straight MAAC Championship.
On Thursday, Nov. 1, the Red Foxes had a league-high five players named to the 2012 All-Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference (MAAC).
This is the sixth consecutive year the Red Foxes had three or more players selected to be on the Pre-Season All-MAAC teams.
Junior guard Leanne Ockenden (Syracuse, N.Y.) was named to the First Team and is now up for MAAC Preseason Player of the Year, which will be announced during Friday's Award Show.
Senior forward Elizabeth Beynnon (Burlington, Vt.) was selected to the Second Team.
Junior guard Casey Dulin (Milford. Conn.), redshirt sophomore forward Tori Jarosz (Cortlandt Manor, N.Y.) and redshirt senior Kristina Danella (Manalapan, N.J.) were all named to the Third Team.
The trio of senior forward Elizabeth Beynnon (Burlington, Vt.) and junior guards Casey Dulin (Milford, Conn.) and Leanne Ockenden (Syracuse, N.Y.) will lead the 2012-13 Marist squad.
Giorgis on his three captains: "I am very happy that we have three members of our team that are capable of being quality leaders," Giorgis said. "Elizabeth, Casey and Leanne all started for us last year and were a big reason for our success. We will count on their veteran leadership this season both on and off the court to lead us in our challenging upcoming season."
For the sixth consecutive season, the Red Foxes were picked to finish first in the MAAC Preseason Coaches' Poll, announced Friday at the MAAC Preseason Awards Show which was held at McCann Arena and aired on ESPN3.
Marist was the unanimous choice, with all 10 of the first-place votes.
The Red Foxes continue their recent trend of playing some of the nation's best competition in the non-conference portion of their schedule.
This season's slate featuring teams from five of the six power conferences and five of the 11 teams played in last year's NCAA Tournament while four others participated in the Women's National Invitation Tournament (WNIT).
Included in the non-conference schedule are four teams that are ranked in the top 20 of the USA Today/ESPN Coaches' Preseason Poll. Leading that group is the University of Connecticut (#2), followed by Kentucky (#7), Oklahoma ((#14) and Purdue (#18).

Bulls Fall In First Game, 3-2, Against Notre Dame
By USF
Related Links
TAMPA - The University of South Florida softball team (28-15 overall, 7-4 BIG EAST) suffered their second consecutive BIG EAST conference loss to the Notre Dame Fighting Irish (16-11 overall, 3-1 BIG EAST), 3-2, in the first game on Sunday afternoon.
The Bulls nine hits were not enough as the Irish put together three crucial hits, two solo homeruns by Beth Northway and Dani Miller.
The Bulls cut the two run lead in half on an Alison Savarese single in the fourth inning to plate pinch runner Melissa Rosas.
Junior JoJo Medina looked to rally the Bulls back in the bottom of the seventh with a bases loaded walk. Freshman Gina Kafalas would trot home to put the score at 3-2 with two outs, but the Bulls' rally would end on a Laura Fountain line drive to the shortstop.
Freshman Candace Howell (6-5) received the loss hurling 6.2 innings, giving up three hits, three runs and six walks.
The Bulls look to split the series in game two of the doubleheader.

Gentle (and not so gentle!) BMW users,
This is my first post, so if I digress from Bimmerfest etiquette on introductions first, troubleshooting second, I apologize. My symptomology is similar to that stated above, except I am getting the vibration through the steering wheel, the chassis (seat of the pants), and headrest of the unoccupied passenger seat at a glance. This behavior changes with each dealership attempt to correct-- and mind you, every time but the last, they have admitted that it is a significant problem and that BMW is aware it is a problem across the 5, 6, and 7 spectrum. The first set of POS
LS run-on-flats was replaced as out of specification for unacceptable road force. The dealer has attempted to rehabilitate the brand new
LS run flats by road force balancing them now a third time. The BMW technical service engineer, in response to a PUMA case (no one has ever described what this acronym stands for) worked with the senior BMW tech at the dealership and the vibration actually got worse then the previous attempt (should have just left well enough alone). I noticed that one of the rear wheels is now on the front and that tire has been described to me as the one with the most road force. It seems that the
LS run on flats are just POS and they can't divorce themselves from this supplier. They claim there are no alternatives. However, they let slip that another customer just gave up and bought non-runflats and somehow they warranty-claimed the
Anyway, I suspect the run-on-flats, the electroservo assist power steering, and the suspension just highly sensitively telegraph imperfections-- not in the road surface as the BMW dealer describes as "road feel," but minute out-of-round imperfections in the tire and wheel combinations, which appear to have significant manufacturing variation (read: poor quality control) and which are intolerable in this system.
I'd love for this to be a tire-only problem, but I suspect the problem is much more deeply rooted.

Nov 03, 2010 - I previously went to a curly salon that was overpriced and not very personable, then I tried a friendlier salon that gave me a weird cut...so after searching this website, I came across Nicole and after reading all her positive reviews, I decided to give her a shot. I was able to get an appointment with her the same day and she was amazing. She fixed my bad cut and was very knowledgeable about curly hair. Plus, since she works in Sears, the price was right. I will stick with her for sure.

The goal of the Murray series was to design a board that utilized the pro model
features that Shaun has become accustomed to while finding the balance of that
user-friendly ride anyone could enjoy. Shaun''s new shape begins with his first ever
Subtle 3-stage rocker line. This new rocker gives the Murray more pop than ever
before but it''s subtle enough to maintain great speed into the wake and make
carving as natural as his previous shapes. The new Dual Tunnel base contours allow
for maximum water flow past the removable .8" P-Wing fins which creates a
responsive edge but still allows for a quick release off the wake. This new shape is
finished off with a variable edge design and exaggerated landing zone for smooth
edge transitions and soft landings.
When asked to build the perfect all around boot we answered with the Team. If you''re a seasoned pro or just getting comfortable standing sideways, this is the perfect boot for you. The Team Closed Toe boot offers mid range support for the rider looking for a little extra flex, but with no loss of hold thanks to its heel retention strap. This feature pulls the riders foot into the heel pocket as the boot is laced for reduced lift. Dual quick cinch lace zones and seamless liner construction allow for a fit that produces no pressure points. The Team also utilizes the new Low Pro plate system for a lighter weight feel and the closest boot to board connection possible.

Why Not DeMarlo Hale?November 8, 2010
Adam Rubin has reported that the New York Mets will interview Boston Redsox Bench Coach DeMarlo Hale for the vacant Mets manger position this week. In the video below I give my thoughts on why I feel Hale has just as good a shot at the Mets manager job as any other candidate. Also, listen as Boston Redsox Manager Terry Francona talks positively about Hale.

When properly performed and precisely followed, the following protocol for bonding of indirect porcelain restorations will provide the clinician with the highest bond strengths possible with minimal occurrence of postoperative sensitivity. Though many alternative techniques and products exist with the aim of simplifying the process, none, in the author's opinion, approach the consistency and adaptability of the procedures outlined below.
When bonding to the natural tooth with the aim of creating a final restoration of the highest durability, there are (again, in the opinion of the author), 3 key principles for success: isolation from moisture, attention to detail, and material selection. As with most dental procedures, strict adherence to best practices will pay great dividends in the long-term success of the procedure.
Based upon the best currently available data, the following protocol has been developed with the aim of bonding posterior porcelain restorations with the highest long-term bond strengths. Slight deviations from the protocol will be required if alternative materials are utilized.
|Figure 1. Porcelain onlay preparations isolated with a medium weight rubber dam.
|Figure 2. E.Max porcelain inlays (Ivoclar Vivadent) with microbrush carriers tacked on with flowable composite.
|Figure 3. Intaglio of porcelain onlays being cleaned with phosphoric acid following trial fit in the mouth.
|Figure 4. A properly silanated porcelain inlay will have a satin finish.
|Figure 5. Differential etching of the preparation allows the enamel to be fully etched while minimizing the potential for over etching the dentin surfaces (30 seconds enamel, 15 seconds dentin).
|Figure 6. Cotton pellets saturated with 2% chlorhexidine are placed in the preparations for 30 seconds; this serves to increase the long-term bond strengths to dentin.
1. Remove the provisional—The provisional restoration needs to be gently removed ensuring that the preparation margins are not damaged in the process.
2. Ensure adequate isolation—It is the strong preference of the author to utilize a rubber dam (such as medium weight Latex Dental Dams [Hygenic] or medium weight DermaDam [Ultradent Products]) for all procedures related to posterior porcelain. The rubber dam allows the creation of an unequaled clear field in which to operate. The ability to maintain a clean, dry field throughout the duration of the preparation and cementation procedure is of utmost importance.1 Furthermore, it allows the operator and the assistant to concentrate on the bonding procedure without the need to constantly ensure that the field is clear of contaminants (Figure 1).
3. Air abrasion—Before try-in of the restoration, it is imperative that the preparation be completely cleaned and free of debris. Residual provisional material or provisional cement will impede the ability to trial fit the restorations and will negatively affect bond strength. The use of 27 µm aluminum oxide at 40 psi (such as MicroEtcher IIA [Danville Materials] or RONDOflex Plus 360 [KaVo Dental]) is well proven to ideally clean the preparation surfaces without significant risk of removing previously placed dental bonding agents, dentin, or enamel. When utilizing immediate dentin sealing, the use of air abrasion also serves to "reactivate" the bonded dentin surface at the cementation appointment.2,3
4. Trial fit of the restoration—The restoration is checked for integrity of fit and interproximal contacts. The restoration should be carried to the mouth with a nonwax pick-up stick (such as Micro-Stix Original Hold [Microbrush International] or OptraStick [Ivoclar Vivadent]). With small porcelain restorations, the waxed tip pick-up stick has the possibility of contaminating the internal surface and compromising the bond. An alternative method (developed by Dr. Ed McLaren) is to tack a microbrush to the occlusal surface with flowable composite to use as a carrier (Figure 2).
5. Clean the restoration—Before the delivery of the restoration, the intaglio of the restoration should be appropriately etched with hydrofluoric (HF) acid by the laboratory (different porcelain materials and different HF acid concentrations require variable etch times). A properly etched porcelain surface should resemble that of etched enamel. If it has a snowy white appearance, it has been over etched (this can be removed with ethanol in an ultrasonic bath). After the trial fitting, the intaglio must be cleaned (though not re-etched). A 15-second aplication of 35% phosphoric acid gel will serve to cleanse the porcelain surfaces, without further etching, and is easily rinsed off (Figure 3).
6. Apply silane to the restoration—Utilizing a 2-component silane (such as BIS-SILANE [BISCO]) allows for the creation of a highly active porcelain surface. Parts A and B of the silane are mixed just prior to application to ensure fresh chemistry. Two coats of silane are then applied to the dry intaglio surface of the restoration; after 30 seconds, the remaining solvent is evaporated with dry and oil-free air (using nitrogen or the Warm Air Tooth Dryer [A-dec]). The surface of a properly etched and silanated restoration will have a satin finish (Figure 4).
7. Etch the tooth—Utilizing a high viscosity 35% phosphoric acid gel (such as Ultra-Etch [Ultradent Products] or Scotchbond Etchant [3M ESPE]), the preparation is differentially etched. The etchant is initially placed primarily on the enamel for 15 seconds (Figure 5), followed by placement on the dentin surface for 15 seconds more. This results in thorough etching of the enamel without a significant risk of over etching the dentin.4 The risk of over etching the dentin is also minimized through the use of immediate dentin sealing at the preparation appointment. It is imperative that all steps are precisely timed, not merely estimated. The etchant is then thoroughly rinsed with an air-water syringe and carefully dried to ensure that the dentin is not desiccated, but no standing moisture remains.
8. Apply 2% chlorhexidine—The use of a 2% chlorhexidine (CAVITY CLEANSER [BISCO] or Consepsis [Ultradent Products]) solution is well proven5,6 to enhance the long-term in-vivo bond to dentin through the inhibition of enzymes (matrix metalloproteinase-2 [MMP-2, MMP-8, MMP-9]) that degrade the collagen scaffolding below and within the hybrid layer over time. It also serves as a rewetting agent if the dentin has been desiccated at the previous step. Cotton pellets, saturated with 2% chlorhexidine, are placed in the preparations for 30 seconds (Figure 6), and the preparations are then gently dried with cotton pellets, not rinsed. When utilizing immediate dentin sealing, this step is most effective when performed at the preparation appointment following the etching of the dentin.
9. Apply primer—The primer contains hydroxyethylmethacrylate, which is responsible for creation of the hybrid layer in the demineralized dentin. Primers need sufficient time (see manufacturer instructions) to infiltrate the collagen network and agitation to ensure that all surfaces are properly coated (Figure 7). It is the preference of the author to utilize a total-etch, 2-bottle system that is filled (such as ALL-BOND 3 [BISCO] or Optibond Fl [Kerr]).
10. Apply adhesive—The adhesive is applied to the restoration intaglio and to the preparation surfaces. This layer acts as a wetting agent for the resin cement. It is generally advisable to postpone curing of the adhesive until the restoration is fully seated. This will minimize the chance of inadequate seating of the restoration due to the film thickness of the cured adhesive layer.
11. Apply resin-based cement—All currently available posterior porcelains benefit from the use of a resin cement. Zirconia is the rare exception, though resin cements are still advisable in preparations of low macro-mechanical retention. There are 2 general classes of resin cements: light-cured and self/ dual-cured. The light-cured resins are beneficial primarily because of their long-term color stability. The dual-cured cements will shift slightly to a yellow shade over time. It is the author's preference to utilize the light-cured resin cements (such as CHOICE 2 [BISCO], Rely X Veneer [3M ESPE], Variolink II [Ivoclar Vivadent], or NX3 [Kerr]) for most anterior units to avoid complications with shade shifting. With thicker or more opaque restorations, dual-cure resin cements (such as DUO-LINK [BISCO], Variolink Dual Cure [Ivoclar Vivadent], NX3) are utilized. This ensures maximum polymerization of the cement with inlays, onlays, and zirconia crowns. The slight color shift in these thicker posterior restorations is nearly undetectable. The resin cement is generally applied to both the restoration and the preparation.
12. Seating—The restoration is carried to the mouth with the carrier oriented such that the restoration is properly aligned with the preparation. The restoration is gently inserted in the preparation and held in place with an appropriately-sized ball burnisher while the carrier is removed. The gross excess of cement is removed with a brush. A small amount of excess cement should be retained at the margins. Utilizing the ball burnisher, the restoration is seated with a strong, but consistent, force. It is imperative that the force not be lifted until the initial cure is started. If pressure is prematurely lifted, gaps in the cement will form at the margins.
|Figure 7. A properly primed tooth surface will illustrate a satin finish similar to that of silanated porcelain.
|Figure 8. The bulk of cement removal is performed while the cement is in a gel state.
|Figure 9. The ET6F bur (Red Stripe [Brasseler USA]) is ideal for refining porcelain margins following cementation.
|Figure 10. Lithium dislicate (e.max HT [Ivoclar Vivadent]) pressed onlays Nos. 30 and 31.
|Figure 11. Lithium dislicate (e.max HT) pressed onlay No. 3.
|Figure 12. Lithium dislicate (e.max HT) pressed onlay No. 3.
13. Tack cure—The resin cement is light-cured for approximately 2 seconds to achieve a gel state in the cement (Figure 8). During this stage, the restoration is continually held in place with the ball burnisher while interproximal areas are flossed and embrasures cleared of residual cement utilizing a No. 12 scalpel.
14. Cover with glycerin and post cure—The margins of the restoration are then covered with a layer of glycerin while the cure is completed. This ensures the prevention of an inadequately cured oxygen-inhibited layer in the cement.
15. Finalize the margins and adjust the occlusion—Most porcelain restorations will benefit from a final recontouring of the marginal areas. This ensures a flush transition from the tooth to the porcelain and will increase the longevity of the restoration. All adjustments to the porcelain should be performed with a fine diamond bur (such as an ET6F [Brasseler USA], F858-014 [Axis Dental], 8858-014 [KOMET], 858-014F [SS White Burs]) (Figure 9).
16. Occlusion check and adjustment—The rubber dam can now be removed and the occlusion checked and finalized. It is imperative that the strength, location, and direction of the contact are precisely controlled. Sequential utilization of a C-fold towel (to ensure dry surfaces), 80-µm Red (in excursive movements) (Madame Butterfly [Almore International]), and 20-µm Blue (in MIP) (AccuFilm II [Parkell]) will clearly show the details of the contacts. Adjustments should be made with a fine diamond bur (such as a 379F [Brasseler USA], F379 [Axis Dental], 8379 [KOMET], or a 379-023F [SS White Burs]) and brought back to full polish (using polishing kits such as Dialite [Brasseler USA], CeraGlaze [Axis Dental], Diamond Ceramic Polisher Kit [KOMET], or Jazz P3S [SS White Burs]).
Strict adherence to a carefully designed protocol for the cementation of posterior porcelain restorations allows for a reliable and minimally invasive procedure. Though such a thorough protocol for porcelain cementation may initially seem time consuming or over-engineered, it is quickly learned and can be applied in nearly all situations. As with many practices in dentistry, the cementation is but the final step in the creation of a beautiful, minimally invasive, and durable restoration that lies at the end of a long line of procedures. All these procedures must also be completed at equivalent levels of excellence to ensure a successful result (Figures 10 to 12).

Technical Abstract: Active and passive uptake mechanisms are important for nitrogen uptake in plants. Active uptake includes nitrogen entering a plant via a diffusive flow process in the roots. This process is believed to be controlled by the plant and depends on plant demand for nitrogen. Passive uptake includes nitrogen that enters the plant as mass flow mixed with water that enters the root system in the transpiration flow. Little is known about how the plant regulates nitrogen influx or the relative importance of the two processes as nitrogen content varies. The two dimensional water and solute transport model 2DSOIL was modified to simulate active and passive transport. Simulations were carried out using a range of boundary and atmospheric conditions from a nitrogen experiment with potato carried out in sunlit controlled environment chambers. Six nitrogen levels from 2 to 14 mmol per liter N were used. The experimental data showed that nitrogen (N) uptake varied with carbon assimilation rate and the mean carbon to nitrogen ratio of the plant. Total measured N uptake varied from 20 to 90 mg N per plant per day during the exponential growth period and passive N uptake was a small component of total N uptake but increased linearly as N concentration in the soil and transpiration rate increased. The active uptake rate increased asymptotically with nitrogen concentration leveling off at about 6 to 8 umol L-1 N. The asymptotic behavior was related to the decline in demand for N as the N rate increased and carbon assimilation rate also reached a plateau. The simulated data showed similar relationships. These results suggest that active uptake is an important component of total N uptake and that the C/N ratio and carbon assimilation rates can be used to estimate N demand.

CMA Awards: How Do Your Picks Measure Up to Randy and Sharon's?
Tonight's CMA Awards will be exciting! Eric Church leads all nominees with 5. He has certainly had a big year but so have other artists. The CMA's are on tonight starting at 8pm on ABC. Don't miss the biggest night in Country Music!
How do YOUR picks match up with Randy and Sharon's?


text: Eddy Clearwater is equally talented as a bluish singer and as an improvising guitarist. On Reservation Blues, he ranges from Chicago blues to rock & roll, throwing in a couple instrumentals too. His repertoire includes both socially relevant lyrics and good-time music, featuring some of the latter when the former gets a bit too somber. Although there are some solid solos from his supporting players (including three guitar spots for Duke Robillard, two fine solos from tenor saxophonist Dennis Taylor, and a guest appearance by Carey Bell on harmonica during "Find Yourself"), Clearwater is the main star throughout. Fortunately, he is heard in prime form, whether happily jamming "I Wouldn't Lay My Guitar Down" and "Blues Cruise" or singing in a more serious mood on "Winds of Change" and "Everything to Gain." A gem.
