Users on this website who are minors
The internet already is quite a jungle of perils as it is but what about those who arrive and or stay here and read about adult themes that are too extreme for them?
Such as swearing, sex or horrible news stories that would question humanities mindset that tend to show up on this site, should we be more wary of peoples minds getting warped while underage?
Re: Users on this website who are minors
it's not really any worse than what can be seen on prime time news, if the kiddies can't handle it, they know where the log out button is.
Re: Users on this website who are minors
^Agreed. There simply isn't any escape from the cold, cruel, harsh reality that we share, whichever form of communication.
Re: Users on this website who are minors
Who cares? If they don't like it then they should just leave.
I was 17 when I joined this forum, and had no problems with all the stuff you listed
Re: Users on this website who are minors
I don't think they'd hear anything on a site like this that they wouldn't hear in real life. I would also like to think that the usage of under 18s on this site is so small it shouldn't make a difference anyway, meaning I'm hoping that if you're under 18 you aren't spending enough time on wrestling forums for anything to affect them.
Overall, this site doesn't have nudity and any swearing it does have is either filtered rare, or used by people who don't know any better. If there are people under 16 using this site and are here to stay, aren't trolls and just making random John Cena threads then I would say they have proved enough for us to know they won't be affected by what they read on here.
If you stay out of Rants section and don't read the news stories in the Anything section, then I would say anybody of any age who knows their wrestling can get along fine on this site without any worry.
Re: Users on this website who are minors
You right to censor? Stupid thread. Babies are exposed to tits and vagina when they immediately born. I think they can handle the rest moving forward.

Search for values in schools holds a lesson for all
Page Tools
Hugh Mackay ("When private schools are used as surrogate parents, only the best will do", Herald, August 9) writes a deal of sense about the perceived attractions of independent schools in regard to discipline and moral instruction. These are strong pull factors. He neglects, however, to address the push factors that are persuading parents to dip deep into their pockets to pay private school fees.
Many parents perceive the state school system to be weak in these areas, and as being biased towards supporting childrens' rights and less concerned with their responsibilities towards their parents and to society in general. These perceptions may well be ill-founded, but they are widespread.
Basil Johnson, Weston (ACT), August 9.
As usual Hugh Mackay gets to the heart of the drive towards private schooling. While looking at this phenomenon, we should look beyond the parents to the influences acting on them. Parents are part of the workforce, where everyday they are compelled towards more personal commitment, efficiency and profitability. They have mortgages, car payments and rates that must be met regardless. When it comes to the cynical decisions of leaders around them, they are almost certainly reminded that "that is the reality". There is no belief in a better way, just more of it.
Thus these moulded mindsets conclude that though the system is deeply flawed, children must be given the best chance to survive in it. So, is it ironic - or moronic - that such widespread suspension of values in society sparks such an earnest quest to ensure our children are educated in them?
David Cumming, Mosman, August 9.
Among the reasons for the perceived return to a more stratified and hierarchical society would seem to be parents' busyness coupled with the fear that somehow their children will "miss out" in the race for tertiary education and the more desirable jobs. The busyness is, of course, directed to the accumulation of funds, to enable children to attend the "best", i.e. private schools.
A pleasing counterpoint is the fact that the Governor-General, the Prime Minister and the Leader of the Opposition all attended government schools.
Pamela Chippindall, Point Piper, August 9.
Hugh Mackay, you are dead wrong. Parents simply want the best for their children. Any attempt to further analyse their motives is pointless.
Richard Pocock, Elizabeth Bay, August 9.
The findings ("Push for values drives public school exodus", Herald, August 9) that concern over discipline is the reason a third of the public school parents would switch their children to private schools is great news. It means that when my son starts at a public high school next February there will be less of these ill-disciplined simpletons to interfere with his education.
Now as long as the next government can assure us taxpayers that the funding from the public purse that is provided to public schools is equal to that provided to the elitist schools, everything will be perfect.
Stuart Lecky, Croydon, August 9.
Parents' attraction to private schools is the logical outcome of recent education policies. While the funding issues have been well covered, obsession with literacy and numeracy outcomes means that rather than striving for excellence, parents are primarily concerned that their children avoid abject failure.
This combination of a dumbed-down curriculum, combined with the emphasis on meaningless outward affectations such as uniforms, is gravely undermining the intellectual capital of the nation.
Peter Lloyd, Queanbeyan, August 9.
During the 1970s the Federal Government "valued" public education and funded it accordingly. Not surprisingly, the vast mass of parents responded by sending their kids to public schools. Take the history lesson, federal election candidates. This value is one worth upholding, to give us a quality education system available to all.
Alison Orme, Marrickville, August 9.
So private school parents search for "traditional values"? Still shaky after a knee operation and nearing 80, I boarded a full busload of students heading for a large private school near my home. No student offered me a seat. I had to stand for the entire journey. Seems concern for old people was one value not taught.
Leicester Warburton, Cremorne, August 9.
One handicap that families don't need
It will be disgraceful if changes to programs designed to assist disabled young people into work and training end up condemning them to a future with no hope ("Cuts in disability service enrage families", Herald, August 9).
Parents, other family members and not-for-profit service providers have every reason to be very angry at the arrogance of the NSW Department of Ageing, Disability and HomeCare in deciding, without consultation, to almost halve the funding levels previously available for these critical services. The Disability Services Minister, Carmel Tebbutt, should have ensured her department didn't behave like this. She must now ensure that clients, their families and their service providers do not suffer.
Gary Moore, Director, Council of Social Service of NSW, Surry Hills, August 9.
Still at secondary school, our son enjoys an environment which is acknowledging the right of people with disability to develop their skills in the same context as other people without disability.
As parents, we have been able to maintain some optimism that the significant progress that has been made within schools would eventually translate to real post-school opportunities for people with disability to lead dignified lives alongside other citizens.
I say "other citizens" because I stupidly assumed that, despite his disability, my son would be regarded as a citizen, too. No.
Citizens have rights. The Government's failure to provide any kind of meaningful opportunity to people with disability when they leave school shows that they effectively do not.
Wendy Stroeve, Kelso, August 9.
Curfew worth it
Not being allowed to drive at night (Letters, August 9) will cause inconvenience for some (and 10pm seems a bit early), but so does getting yourself killed.
Adrian Gallagher, Dapto, August 9.
Since when is prohibition a solution? If a child hits another child with a toy hammer, take away the toy hammer. But by removing it, does it address the reasons for the behaviour? This curfew is a naive attempt to legislate common sense regarding our youth driving at night.
Noel Grannall, Caringbah, August 9.
Having lived in New Zealand and seeing curfews in action, my impression was that they seemed to work. They did not just apply to young drivers but anybody with a new licence. They also had a system of exemptions based on need, such as work. Those exemptions were mainly targeted at rural kids and uni students.
We have power-to-weight restrictions for new motorcycle riders, why not cars?
Brian Kelly, Beecroft, August 9.
Sex and responsibility
I never cease to be amazed by women who think they have the right to end the life of an unborn baby simply because it happens to grow inside their bodies. Baby factories women are not, but where has adult responsibility gone? The privilege of having sex carries responsibilities. Prevention is the much better choice.
Trisha Smith, Penshurst, August 9.
A right royal fiasco
Four senior staff members of the Tasmanian Governor, Richard Butler, have resigned ("Premier's support for Butler falters", Herald, August 9). Big deal. The first step to a republic should be the abolition of the unnecessary and parasitic positions of governors.
Ian Semmel, Maleny (Qld), August 9.
Give Jana a rest
The news is full of a human interest story about a lovely young athlete who hurt her knee. For crying out loud, there's a war on, you know. There's more to report than circuses.
James De Siun, Woolloomooloo, August 9.
Full credit to Jana Pittman in her attempt to regain her fitness after her knee cartilage injury. The prospect of doing this in the 12 days left before her Olympic heats must be small.
The relentless pressure of elite sport may yet create another casualty if she attempts to hurdle so soon after the surgery on her knee. Climbing stairs is one thing; racing over hurdles against the best in the world is another.
Dr Raymond Seidler, Kings Cross, August 9.
Paul Sheehan wrong
Paul Sheehan ("Why sexual violence is almost legal", Herald, August 9) says twice that I charged Karen Brown with murder. That is wrong. The police charged Ms Brown without any involvement by my office.
The assertion in the headline that sexual violence is "almost legal" will certainly come as a great surprise to the hundreds of police and other investigators, prosecutors, defence lawyers, magistrates, judges and corrective services officers who daily investigate, prosecute, defend, try and supervise sexual assault offenders against both adults and children (the great majority of victims being female).
It will astonish my witness assistance service officers and the legions of counsellors and community support groups who daily assist the victims and seek to reduce the stress of their involvement in the criminal justice process. It makes me wonder what all those sexual assault files crossing my desk every day are really about.
My office has responded fully to the recommendations of the "Heroines of Fortitude" study. It has reported regularly on those responses and has been praised for them. There was no inertia in this office. There have been consequential improvements in procedures.
Trial by media certainly does provide "rough justice". The criminal justice system does a lot better. Mr Sheehan (and anyone else) can find out what this office does and how we do it by going to our website, especially the prosecution guidelines.
Nicholas Cowdery, Director of Public Prosecutions, Sydney, August 9.
Wind farms yield a bitter harvest
Good on you, Prince Charles, for speaking out against those dreadful wind towers ("Charles blows cold on wind farms", Herald, August 9). I have been saying the same thing since I first laid eyes on them. It seems we are expected to accept and applaud anything labelled "environmentally friendly" without fully assessing long-term benefit and liability questions.
Parts of the Victorian coastline look like a set design for a Steven Spielberg science-fiction horror movie.
Doug Osmond, Southport (Qld), August 9.
A hero, start to finish
Thanks to Steve Moneghetti for giving us one of those great moments in Australian sport in Sunday's City to Surf ("Thousands catch whiff of the sweat smell of success", Herald, August 9). I will cherish forever the sight of 41-year-old Monas strapped up with microphone and electronics chatting to us about how he felt a bit rough and was just trying to keep the bloke next to him company as he damn near won that City to Surf against a team of Tanzanians half his age. You are a hero.
John Woodward, Oatley, August 9.
What a great day the City to Surf is - 56,000 people plus countless volunteers enjoying the sun, fun and atmosphere. However, as I took part, I couldn't help but think how much better it would be if even just $1 of the entry fee supported a charity - as is the case with so many fun runs.
Nerida Smith, Cammeray, August 9.
Resistance is useless
Brad Truran is correct in differentiating between robots and Daleks (Letters, August 7-8), but there may possibly be a connection. The word "robot" arrrived in the English-speaking world from Karel Capek's play, RUR - Rossum's Universal Robots of 1921. The Czech word "robot" means enforced statutory labour, similar to villeinage, while "daleko" in Czech means distant, or far away.
Perhaps Terry Nation, the writer of the Doctor Who scripts which first included the Daleks, had a Czech connection, however remote?
Ian Juniper, Frenchs Forest, August 9.
On the dog and bone
Yes, Richard Pocock (Letters, August 7-8), mobile phone owners are like the situation with dogs - their owners are the problem. Dogs left alone bark all day. Dogs continue barking at night. Dog owners never hear, or they ignore, the barking. Ownership agreements including a harmony clause wouldn't be a bad idea for dog ownership.
Margaret Fleming, Avoca Beach, August 9.
Grown up and up late
Yes, what are "adult themes" (Letters, August 9) and why do we need to be warned about them?
Norm Crothers, Maroubra Bay, August 9.
Honesty versus impartiality in the Westminster system
I was heartened by the the statement from 40-plus courageous people, criticising the actions of the Howard Government over past years ("PM stung by roaring 40 band of top brass and diplomats", Herald, August 9). As usual, Mr Howard and company have handled the criticism by dismissing their critics.
It's very sad that truth and honesty in government is something that has to be asked for and is not a given. I thought that these two elements were basic to our Westminster system of government and democracy.
Robin Cook, Cranebrook, August 9.
Can John Howard now muster 43 former military chiefs, department heads and senior diplomats who will say the Australian public were not deceived over Iraq and that Australia has become safer as a result of our invasion and occupation of Iraq?
Frank Walker, Budgewoi, August 9.
Mr Howard's statement that "the argument that we took the country to war based on a lie is itself a misrepresentation and I continue to reject it" is itself a misrepresentation, and I continue to reject it.
Alan Luchetti, North Sydney, August 9.
The statement released by Peter Gration, Richard Woolcott et al is timely. One can only hope that Australians in general will take the time to read this release by a group of people who continue to display political astuteness and intellectual depth. That they are all retired is irrelevant. In this case, distance lends perspective.
Michael Lang, New Lambton, August 9.
C'mon, do we really need a blatant political message from a concerned group of distinguished has-beens to convince us that the Howard Government should go?
All we need is to exercise that amazing gift of reason, come up with the obvious conclusion, and then send a loud and clear message on election day.
Max Fischer, Scarborough, August 9.
One has to query the political impartiality of many of the top former public servants publicly attacking John Howard's policy on Iraq.
Eugene Herbert, Balmain, August 9.
Historically, there has been a tradition of being apolitical in the public service and the military. Thank heavens that no presently serving public servants or military officers signed the piece of paper.
Brian Swan, Epping, August 9.

I agree - I've even repurchased a digital copy of a book just because it's
much more convenient. When you're really tired and just want to read something before conking out, it's a lot easier to tap the tablet to turn the page than to actually turn the page, haha. Geez, do I sound lazy.
The biggest problem with guides like I mentioned, is that it obviously wasn't meant for such a high-res screen, so I often had to zoom in and zoom out. That problem just doesn't occur with books of course, since those are designed to scale to the screen.

Outside dog kennel
I am renting, and I have an outside 10x18 dog kennel. That being said I do not want to install a permanent floor. I was thinking about concrete pavers, something I can take with me whan I purchase my own home.
Also, it is very muddy right now in my yard and it will keep the dirt down.
Does anyone have feedback about this? I also have to deal with the cleaning up dog messes. I am fine with cleaning up every day but would like the easiest solution.
No first hand experience in this regard, but given that you are renting, regardless of whether it is the ideal solution, I believe that your first thought, pavers, is the only practical way to proceed, and since you will be rquired to, or at a minimum, should, restore the yard as close to as it's original state as possible, I would be inclined to forego normal preparation, i.e. base, and just lay the pavers on the existing ground. If any leveling is required, it seems to me that the best solution would be to use top soil, so that it could be raked in when the lawn is restored, after you leave. Not the ideal solution, but you have to respect the owner's property. To make it easier to clean, I would think that 24" patio stones would be the way to go. Obviously, you will want to discuss anything like this with your landlord, prior to making a final decision.
Paving stones a a convenient option for you. But not so nice for your dog. In hot weather they get hot and radiate lots of heat back into the enclosure. In cold weather they are... well... cold. They are hard rough surfaces that will be hard on your dog's pads and elbows. I'd encourage you to consider mulch or wood chips, or pea gravel - for the sake of your dog.
Good luck.

I would like this pick a lot. This coupled with restructuring Gross' contract would do a lot to strengthen the offensive line. The good news about this guy is that he is a project even though he is starter caliber. He only switched to OL when he was a senior in high school so is some respects he is still raw.
Fisher > Lewan
I like Lewan and he's certainly on my list of guys Im looking at for our selection come April.
He's mean and aggressive, and best suited as a pass protecting LT, exactly what this team needs as we continue to build out ourselves a modern NFL roster moving forward.
Don't want him. Had the most facemask penalties, both called & uncalled, against Clowney I've ever seen a lineman have. If he can't handle an NFL ready guy 1-on-1 without having to constantly resort to penalties that will be called in the NFL, there's no reason to draft him. He does have room to grow though, so he might be able to work that out of his game.
There's a couple of lineman in the draft coming out better than him, but sadly they might all be gone by the time our pick comes up.
Joeckel is the best OT in this class but I think Lewan will def be the nastiest and most physical.
Still a chance that Matthews goes pro
From GBNReport
(5:00 PM): Top OT to declare for draft … Texas A&M junior LT Luke Joeckel has indeed announced that he will be entering the 2013 draft where he is projected to be a top 5 pick. In fact, there is a chance that Joeckel could ultimately be the first player selected this coming April. The more interesting story at OT for the Aggies is what junior RT Jake Matthews opts to do. Matthews is also projected to be a first-round choice this year if he also leaves school this winter, however, there are reports that Matthews is seriously considering returning to school for his senior season with the intention of sliding over into Joeckel's LT slot and possibly becoming a top 5 pick himself in 2014. Stay tuned.
Posted January 10, 2013
Lewan has decided to stay in school for his senior season. Take him off the list.

Interest High for Mommy Makeovers, but Is it Worth It?
mellieb on 18 May 2010 at 4:06pm
Wouldn't it be nice if every woman could bounce back from pregnancy the way celebrity moms seem to? The truth is, carrying a child take a toll on a women's body, and many times it takes a little extra help to get one's figure back. In a recent survey RealSelf.com conducted with Harris Interactive, we found that for many women, changes to their post-baby bodies are a top priority. According to the survey, tummy tucks are most popular among women aged 35-44 – almost half (46 percent) would choose to tone their midsection if money wasn't an issue, compared to 34 percent of women 18-34. More than one-third (34%) of women aged 35-44 would undergo a breast lift, and 28 percent would opt for liposuction, possibly thinking ahead to swimsuit season. (These three procedures are most often associated with "Mommy Makeovers.")
Among RealSelf users, Mommy Makeover is the highest rate procedure with a Worth It rating of 97%. Here is a sampling of what these women are saying:
- "After having 4 large babies, the last pregnancy being full term twins (8 and 6 lbs) and no matter what I tried I could not undo the damage to my mid-section! I found that the extra skin was uncomfortable…. After about 3 months of online research and reading about others' experiences I decided it was something I really wanted to do. I am so happy with my decision." Mummy864
- "After having two children, I was left with a herniated belly button, stretch marks, and extra skin….The results are amazing! My stomach is completely flat and my belly button is beautiful." 3132anon
- "I am a 31 yrs old mother of 2. After many years of fighting with my weight after childbirth, I finally decided it was time to do for me!! Stretch marks, muffin top, back bacon... you name it I had it! I had a tummy tuck, lip, and breast lift on February 16th 2010 and I am feeling awesome. I know I am swollen, yet I am so happy with just the way I look now that I would be content staying this size." Katgrr

Businesses Speak Up for Polystyrene
Mayor Bloomberg has proposed banning plastic foam cups and food packaging, saying they are bad for the environment. But some businesses are reluctant to part with polystyrene. Here are three reasons why.
It's cheaper for businesses
The American Chemistry Council, An industry group, estimates the price is three to five times less than paper, metal, or hard plastic.
"We have to change to the plastic cup, right? And you know the price will be higher. So many restaurants, they'll be making, like, less money," said Jeff Won, who works in the kitchen at a Tex-Mex takeout restaurant in the West Village.
It's cheaper for consumers
Alex Park, who works at a hot and cold bar in Soho, noticed that most customers choose polystyrene clamshells over hard plastic packaging.
"Some people like it cause it weighs less. And when you weigh the food, like, it all adds up," Park said.
There are some things polystyrene just does better
Like keeping coffee warm.
"If you buy a cup of coffee at Starbucks, you may be getting a double cup or you might be getting a sleeve or a jacket that might go onto the cup. You don't have those concerns with a foam cup because of the fine insulation qualities," said Frank Liesman, vice president for government affairs for Dart Container Corporation, one of the nation's biggest makers of foam cups.
Liesman says if he could get Michael Bloomberg's ear, he'd like to try to convince him to give polystyrene a chance.
The American Chemistry Council, an industry group, says New York City should start recycling polystyrene instead of banning it.
Polystyrene is sometimes incorrectly referred to as styrofoam. It makes up about half of one percent of all of New York City's trash.
Environmentalists praised the mayor's proposal, saying it will reduce litter.

Valparaiso (18-9, 11-4 Horizon)
Game #28: Tuesday, Feb. 14 - 7:05 p.m.
UIC (7-17, 3-11 Horizon)
Athletics-Recreation Center (5,000) - Valparaiso, Ind.
Next Up in Crusader Basketball: Valparaiso returns home to the ARC in first place and will close out the Horizon League slate with a trio of home games, starting with a matchup against UIC Tuesday evening at 7:05 p.m.
Last Time Out: A 16-0 first-half run by Youngstown State proved to be too much for Valparaiso to overcome on Saturday evening, as the Crusaders dropped a 71-53 decision in Horizon League play to the Penguins. Valpo led by four points approaching the midway point of the first half before the run put the Penguins ahead for good, as the Crusaders would get no closer than seven points the rest of the way. Richie Edwards led Valpo with 19 points, while Ryan Broekhoff added 12 points and 11 rebounds.
Following the Crusaders: Every game this season will be available on the Valpo Sports Radio Network, with Tuesday's game broadcast live on WAKE (1500 AM, Valparaiso), WEFM (95.9 FM, Michigan City) and WJOB (1230 AM, Hammond). Todd Ickow is back for his 20th season on play-by-play, while Keaton Gillogly will join him on color commentary Tuesady. As always with every league game, there will be a live free video webcast through the Horizon League Network as well. Links to the live audio and video webcasts, as well as a link to live statistics and the Valpo Gameday interactive page, will also be available at www.valpoathletics.com.
Head Coach Bryce Drew: Bryce Drew made his head coaching debut at Arizona on Nov. 7, as he was named the 21st head coach in the history of the Valparaiso men's basketball program on May 17, 2011. Just the fourth new head coach to grace the Crusader sidelines in the last 31 years, Drew had spent the last six seasons as a member of the Crusader coaching staff before earning the head position. He famously hit the game-winning shot against Ole Miss for Valpo in the first round of the 1998 NCAA Tournament to cap an illustrious Crusader career, before going on to a seven-year professional career, six of which were spent in the NBA.
Series Notes: UIC leads the all-time series against the Crusaders, 29-15, but Valpo holds the 6-3 edge since joining the Horizon League, including winning each of the last five meetings. In the two squads' initial game this year, Kevin Van Wijk and Ryan Broekhoff combined for all ten points in a 10-0 run that put the Crusaders up nine points with seven minutes to play in a 60-55 victory. Van Wijk paced Valpo in that contest with 20 points, while Jay Harris scored 13 and Broekhoff 12.
The Road Ahead: Valpo travels west later this week, flying into Los Angeles to take on Loyola Marymount on Feb. 17 live on ESPNU as part of the Sears BracketBusters X event. The Crusaders then close the regular season at home with their final two league games of the year, facing Loyola (Feb. 21) and Butler (Feb. 24), the latter game live on ESPNU.
Scouting UIC: The Flames enter this week at 7-17 overall and 3-11 in Horizon League action and have lost six of their last seven, most recently a 78-69 loss to Loyola on Saturday. UIC averages just 61.3 ppg on the season while giving up 67.3 ppg and allowing opponents to shoot nearly 45% from the field. Gary Talton leads the way with 11.5 ppg and also tallies better than three assists per contest, while Daniel Barnes is close behind at 11.4 ppg.
Coming Down the Stretch: With just three Horizon League games left to go, the Crusaders are coming down to the wire with a chance to earn their first Horizon League regular season title. Valpo's schedule sets up favorably, with home games against UIC, Loyola and Butler left on the docket. The Crusaders are currently a half-game up on Cleveland State for first place and two games up on a three-way tie for third. The top-two teams both earn a double bye into the Horizon League Championship semifinals, while the regular season champion earns hosting rights.
Flip the End Result: Valpo's situation this year is quite similar to last year's squad, which was tied in the loss column with three games to play with an 11-4 league record and home games remaining against UIC and Loyola as well as a game at Green Bay. The Crusaders are hoping for a different result this year, as last year's team ended up losing to Loyola and Green Bay, finishing the league season 12-6 and in fourth place in the standings.
Rough Outing: The Crusaders struggled in numerous facets of the game last time out against Youngstown State in Saturday's 71-53 loss. Playing without the league's most accurate shooter in Kevin Van Wijk, Valpo connected on just 15-of-47 efforts from the floor. The 31.9% shooting clip was the worst by the Crusaders' since playing at Kansas last season on Nov. 15, 2010, when they shot 27.4% from the field. In addition, Saturday saw the Crusaders get out-rebounded 39-29, their worst margin in the rebounding column this season.
Bouncing Back From Big Losses: Valpo has shown a proclivity for rebounding with a victory after suffering a large defeat the previous time out. The Crusaders have won six consecutive games overall over the last two seasons following a loss by at least 10 points. In fact, over the last two years, Valpo has lost by at least 10 points in Horizon League play five times and followed with a victory each and every time.
Defense Also Steps Up: Lost in the offensive superlatives from the last two victories might be the Crusaders' performance on the defensive end. Valpo held Wright State to just 29.6% (16-of-54) shooting from the floor and 5-of-24 (20.8%) from behind the 3-point line on Feb. 4, and then limited Cleveland State to 25.9% (14-of-54) and 7.7% (1-of-13) from the floor and 3-point range, respectively, last time out. The two games mark the Crusaders' two best efforts of the year defensively against a Division I opponent in both field goal percentage and 3-point percentage.
Record-Tying Barrage: While Feb. 2 against Detroit wasn't the first time Ryan Broekhoff has hit six 3-pointers in a game in his Valpo career (freshman year at Loyola), it was the first time he did so without missing a single attempt from deep. The junior's 6-for-6 performance from 3-point range matched Jared Nuness' Valpo record for most 3's in a game without a miss (12/22/1997 at Belmont). Broekhoff now has three six 3-pointer games in his career following a 6-for-9 effort last time out against Cleveland State.
BracketBusters on TV: For the third time in the last five years, Valparaiso has been selected for a televised game as part of the 2012 Sears BracketBusters X event. The Crusaders will travel to the West Coast to face off against Loyola Marymount (13-9, 6-3 WCC) at 8 p.m. CST on Friday, February 17 live on ESPNU. Valpo has won both of its previous television appearances in the event, downing Miami (Ohio) in 2OT in 2008 and Missouri State last season.
Proficiency Inside the Arc: Valparaiso's success shooting from 2-point range has carried over into the 2011-2012 season. Last season, the Crusaders finished the year hitting 55.3% of their 2-point attempts, good for third nationally. So far this year, Valpo has connected at athe exact same rate from inside, knocking down 55.3% of its tries from inside the arc, tied for second nationally. In fact, of Valpo's seven rotation players who have been playing the entire season, six are hitting at least half of their 2-point attempts. But last weekend, the Crusaders struggled inside the arc, as Valpo went just 17-of-46 (37.0%) from two-point range on the northeastern Ohio swing.
Valpo Tabbed Fifth in Preseason Poll: Valparaiso was picked to finish in fifth place in the Horizon League preseason poll conducted of the league's coaches, sports information directors, and media members. The Crusaders tallied 255 points in the polling. Preseason league favorite Butler received 28 of the 50 first-place votes, while Detroit was picked second and received 19 first-place votes. Cleveland State (2 first-place votes) and Milwaukee (1 first-place vote) were chosen third and fourth ahead of the Crusaders, while Green Bay was just behind Valpo in sixth position. Youngstown State, Wright State, Loyola and UIC rounded out the polling in order.
A Look Back at 2010-2011: Valparaiso is coming off of its tenth postseason appearance in the last 16 seasons, having earned a berth into the CollegeInsider.com Tournament (CIT) last season. The Crusaders won 23 total games in 2010-2011, their greatest number of victories since the 2001-2002 season. Valpo also went 12-6 in Horizon League, posting its best record in league play since entering the HL and finishing just one game out of a share of the regular season title.
Home Court Advantage: With 15 regular season home games slated for the ARC this year, Valparaiso has plenty of opportunities to utilize its home court advantage. With the win over Wright State Feb. 4, the Crusaders are now 10-2 at home this year and now own a 256-112 (.696) all-time record at the ARC, including a 203-47 (.812) mark over the last 18-plus years at home. Last Thursday's win over Detroit also guaranteed that the Crusaders will finish above .500 on their home court for the 19th consecutive season.
High-Scoring Coaching Staff: Valparaiso boasts the third-highest scoring coaching staff in Division I basketball, as judged by points scored by the core four coaches at the Division I level. Head coach Bryce Drew scored 2,142 points at Valpo, while assistant coach Jake Diebler scored 826 points as a Crusader. Assistant coach Roger Powell Jr. added 1,178 points during his time at Illinois. Valpo's total of 4,146 Division I points trails just Tennessee and Auburn.
A Lonely Banner: Each year's senior class has banners hung inside the ARC during their senior season, but this season, there is just one men's basketball banner hanging from the rafters. Walk-on guard Nick Shelton started the season as the lone member of this year's senior class, as fellow senior walk-on Nathan Stegelmann was added to the roster in mid-November.
Calling All Captains: With no scholarship seniors on this year's squad, Valpo looks to a trio of juniors to lead the way as the captains for the 2011-2012 team. Ryan Broekhoff, Erik Buggs and Matt Kenney will share the captaincy this season.
Short Bench: Finally, the Crusaders have available to them all 10 scholarship athletes who are eligible. Other than the Dec. 17 game against Oakland, Valpo had not been able to use the full contingent of 10. Prior to that point, Ben Boggs had to sit out the first semester after transferring in from Virginia Tech, while Tommy Kurth had missed nine games due to illness. The Crusaders are also without scholarship players Bobby Capobianco, who must sit out the entire season after transferring to Valpo from Indiana, and Vashil Fernandez, who will be sitting out this season.
A Set Rotation: Head coach Bryce Drew seems to have settled into a regular eight-man rotation as the Crusaders hit the heart of Horizon League play. Other than the disqualification of Richie Edwards after just four minutes at Milwaukee and an injury to Kevin Van Wijk at Cleveland State which forced him to miss the YSU game, over the last 11 games, all eight regulars have played at least 10 minutes in every game, while over the same stretch, only once (Broekhoff at Wright State) has any Crusader been asked to play more than 35 minutes. Against Youngstown State, Erik Buggs led the way with 31 minutes.
Countdown to 1,000: While junior Ryan Broekhoff struggled from the floor last time out at Youngstown State, going just 2-for-10 from the field, he still ended the night with 12 points and 11 rebounds for his tenth double-double of the year. The Australian, who has scored at least 10 points in 19 of Valpo's last 20 contests and has grabbed at least five rebounds in 18 straight games, now has 976 career points after Saturday's effort. Broekhoff has also started to move up the Crusaders' career charts in a number of categories, as he ranks tenth all-time at Valpo with 68 career blocked shots, moved into ninth in 3-pointers made at CSU, passing Seth Colclasure, and now has 155 career triples, and currently is tied for 16th in career rebounds with 546 caroms. The junior also maintains a chance to lead the Horizon League in both scoring and rebounding, as he ranks third (15.2 ppg) and first (8.7 rpg) in the respective categories.
Edwards Steps Up: Junior Richie Edwards has stood out over Valpo's last four contests. Edwards started his hot stretch with back-to-back 16-point efforts two weekends ago against Detroit and Wright State. Then last Thursday against Cleveland State, Edwards posted a 20-point night, his best effort of the season against a Division I opponent. Last time out at Youngstown State, Edwards received his first career starting nod with Van Wijk out due to injury and continued his stellar play of late, tallying 19 points in 28 minutes of action. The junior college transfer is now averaging 9.1 ppg on the season and has pushed his average up to 9.7 ppg in Horizon League play.

Has BPA Fight Obscured Wider Dangers of Plastics?
Nearly two decades after scientists discovered that the common plastic additive BPA is linked to health problems, new evidence suggests even plastics labeled "BPA-free" may expose us to similar effects. Mother Jones reporter Mariah Blake found that potentially dangerous plastics are still everywhere — from your baby's bottle to your toothbrush. In her article "The Scary New Evidence on BPA-Free Plastics," in the March/April issue of Mother Jones, Blake looks at all the plastics in our homes and the potential worrisome health effects.
In 2008 multiple studies showed that BPA, a plasticizer frequently found in baby bottles, sippy cups, water bottles, the liners of aluminum cans, and other products, mimics the hormone estrogen. Exposure can lead to behavioral and health disorders — especially for infants and young children. The United States and other countries have banned BPA in infant products, and many consumers switched to BPA-free products.
However, a 2011 study showed that many plastics contain estrogenic chemicals, not just those with BPA. Scientists tested 455 commercially available plastic products and found that the majority of them had estrogenic compounds. But Blake said the plastics industry has systematically attacked and attempted to discredit that study and others showing similar results, in what she described as a "Big Tobacco-style campaign to bury findings."
Blake said that unless plastic products are made specifically to avoid estrogenic chemicals, chances are they do contain them. That includes baby bottles, plastic sandwich bags, plastic wrap, and water bottles.
"I was shocked when I started working on this story how little we know about the chemicals we use every day," said Blake. "[Companies] don't have to test these chemicals for safety. And if they do test and find them harmful, they don't have to disclose that to the public."

3-prong recepticle
Just curious,, it was mentioned around that when installing a 3 prong outlet, the "new" way was to point the ground hole upwards. I've heard its not officially code but you should do it that way when replaceing one. Point I'm trying to get across is that it seems with the design of power cords, this doesn't work right. I've seen plugs that are molded that dont' quite lay flat against the wall when placed "upside down". Curious about others take on this.
If it aint broke don't fix it. I never seen anything wrong with the way it was.
I prefer ground down in a residential setting, since yeah, lot of devices and plugs are design to go in better this way and I'm just used to seeing it that way. I did notice in commercial settings they often put ground up, and it's probably for that extra safety, but the odds of something falling perfectly between the blades is slim, and even with ground up, if that chance did happen, it can still hit the ground and hot if it falls at the right angle. Either way the odds are slim when things are plugged in properly.
If you REALLY want to be safe replace everything with twist lock plugs. :laughing: J/K
My parents house have a few the right way and a few upside down . Frankly I think it's just coincidence and the person installing them just did whatever was easiest.
I tried just for kicks - when I replaced all my old 2-prong ones, they wouldn't actually fit in the box upside down, only w/ the ground plug down.

Former Manowar Drummer Dies
Former Manowar drummer Scott Columbus passed away yesterday, April 4th, at the age of 54. The cause of death has not yet been disclosed.
The news was first reported via ex-Manowar guitarist Ross the Boss' Facebook page and was corroborated by Columbus' girlfriend of almost four years, Nancy, who wrote on the drummer's Facebook page, "For all you to know, this is Scott Columbus's girlfriend of over 3 1/3 years... and I cannot get the words out, but he died today... Please send your thoughts and prayers. I can't believe he is gone. He was the absolute love of my life."
Manowar has released the following statement regarding Columbus' passing: "With great sorrow we announce the passing of our brother Scott. A rare talent, equally a rare individual, a father, friend and a brother of metal.
"All the great moments we spent together are burnished in our hearts and memories forever. We know he is in a good place and at peace. He will never be forgotten."
Columbus joined Manowar in 1983 but left the band in 1990 when his son fell ill. He returned to the fold for the Louder Than Hell album in 1996 and remained with the group until April 2008.

Hair Loss
Alarmist scenario: The beginnings of baldness.
More likely cause: Stress, pregnancy (typically about three months after giving birth), medications (including birth-control pills and antidepressants), or being over 40.
Reality check: "Although hair loss is a common complaint, for women under 50 it's often likely to be temporary and due to stress or medications," says endocrinologist Gregory Brent, a professor of medicine at the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA.
Rx: If hair is falling out from the top of your scalp but not the back, see a dermatologist. In some cases, minoxidil (Rogaine) can help the hair regrow. If a hormone imbalance is the cause, correcting that can help.

History research gets a boost at ACU
A new Historical Studies Research Concentration at ACU will capitalise on the University's existing strength in historical studies and boost research output and productivity.
The initiative will focus on the core ACU values of social justice and the common good, and builds on the work of researchers such as Professor Shurlee Swain, Associate Professor Nick Carter, and Dr Noah Riseman. These values are explored through three programme areas: Historicising Social Policy and Change in Australia, Australia's Changing Identity in the Postwar Era, and Conflict, Continuity and Change in European History.
"Historical research at ACU has long had an impact on public debate and scholarship, and that impact is now set to increase," Professor Swain said. "The Historical Studies Research Concentration will bring together staff to create a vibrant knowledge centre, and further critical research in the area. We believe that this focus on core ACU values will create new avenues for cross-campus and cross-disciplinary research collaborations among staff."
Key staff members include Professor Shurlee Swain, Associate Professor Nick Carter, and Dr Noah Riseman, Dr Nell Musgrove, Dr Ellen Warne, Dr Chris Matthew and Dr Maggie Nolan. The group has received a further boost with the recent appointments of Dr Melissa Bellanta, Dr Hannah Forsyth and the internationally recognised Italian historian Professor John Foot. A postdoctoral fellowship will also shortly be advertised, allowing a new member to join the group later this year.
To find out more about the Research Concentration's work, contact Professor Swain.

PHOTO: Lady Gaga Covers Elle Magazine
Every time we've seen Lady Gaga this era, she's usually sporting an entirely different look than when we last saw her. The image she's constructed for ARTPOP is one of no image, in which she can wear whatever she wants, whenever she wants. One minute she's a mermaid, then she's a swine, and then she's completely naked and spread eagle in V magazine. It's fabulous, isn't it?
Check out Gaga's latest transformation for Elle magazine below, as well as a few obligatory Gaga quotes about being a tortured artist and listening to Bowie.
On handling pressure: "What are you talking about, pressure? I'm great under pressure. I'm a warrior. I'm Rocky, round 12."
The difference between Gaga's high-priestess act and the girl who spends time with her family: "I am—Stefani is—a perpetually tortured artist. That's why I changed my name. I can't be her in public. She would be a mess!"

Industry is increasingly aware that sustainability combines environmental, societal, and economic considerations in product development and that this linkage, while driving improved performance, can pose both a business opportunity and a challenge. On the one hand, innovations make good business sense by bringing new products to supply a growing market demand for sustainable goods. On the other hand, new regulatory standards, such as REACH and RoHS, demand cleaner, less-toxic products which can be difficult to develop economically, and in addition require an agreed upon infrastructure to demonstrate compliance that can also be difficult and expensive. In this paper, we discuss ways in which measurements, standards and data, being developed and deployed worldwide by national measurement institutes (NMIs) and standards development organizations (SDOs), are helping industry to meet the challenges of developing and using sustainable materials. In particular, measurement research and established standards are helping industry make use of alternative, more sustainable materials in the manufacture of a variety of goods, including bio-based polymers, lightweight automobiles and lead-free solders. In addition, we discuss how measurements, standards and data are easing industries compliance with new and emerging regulations, including those that demand decreased CO2 emissions, higher energy efficiency and less toxic components.

The movie opens in 1969 as Frances McDormand is lecturing her daughter about sex, drugs and rock and roll. Her daughter, now 18, can't take it anymore and leaves home to become a stewardess. She leaves 11 year old William (who has always thought he was 13) her record collection.
This collection changes his life. Four years pass and he has now learned everything about the artists and the music. In fact, he writes a music column in his school paper. He contacts the editor of "Cream" magazine and gets lessons and encouragement about his writing. This editor likes him and gets him passes to the Black Sabbath concert to write a small review of the concert.
While trying to get backstage before the show, the security guard won't give him the time of day. Hey, he's "not on the list". William meets a few groupies who are also trying to get in. No luck. Finally, the opening act, STILLWATER arrives. William notices an opportunity and starts shouting out compliments to the group. The lead guitarist of the band, Russell, stops and listens to William carry on about their songs. Russell lets him in along with the other groupies.
The leader of the groupies is Penny Lane played by Kate Hudson. She doesn't consider herself a groupie thinking instead that she inspires the band. She refers to her and her friends as Band-Aids. William is instantly attracted to Penny as she is very charming and worldly. She ask William to someday go to Morocco with her. Russell gives William a quick interview and is impressed with him. He invites William to their next concert. William goes to the next concert in LA and finds Penny there also. Turns out that Penny follows Russell from town to town and is more than just a groupie, she is in love with Russell. Russell isn't in love with her, although he is very attracted and has deep feelings towards her and even though he's married, sleeps with Penny when he's on the road.
Somehow, ROLLING STONE magazine reads William's articles and is very impressed. They would like William to write an article for them and will pay him $1000. William asks if he can cover STILLWATER and they agree. He will go on the road with the band covering everything that happens. The band isn't sure about it since he is the "enemy" and will destroy them. Russell defends William and says he can be trusted.
Once he's on the road, riding the bus with them, he sees another side of the band. The main problem is the ego struggle between Russell and the lead singer, Penny and the rest of the groupies are there and William can't stand the thought of Russell and Penny together. Slowly Russell gives William a little information for his story. It turns out that Russell wants to quit the band but as they get more and more famous, he can't let his other band members down.
As the tour gets closer to New York, Russell realizes that he must get rid of Penny since his wife will be in New York waiting for him. During a poker game, he sells his groupies to "Humble Pie" for $50 and a case of beer.
Penny goes to New York anyway on her own and during a dinner with the band and their girlfriends and wives, Penny shows up in the background. The band manager asks her to leave and she is devastated. William goes to Penny's room and finds her overdosed and on the verge of death. While trying to wake her up, he tells her he loves her. The doctors come and pump her stomach.
On a plane ride to another concert, the plane is in trouble and looks like it will have to make a crash landing. Everyone including Russell's wife is panicking and shouting at each other. The lead singer tells Russell he has slept with his wife. Russell shouts back at him but the singer says who cares, you're sleeping with Penny. Just as it's about to crash, one of the band members shouts out that he's gay. Suddenly the plane recovers and all is well and quiet again. Everyone looks at the now "out" band member as he shrinks down into his seat. (Pretty funny scene)
ROLLING STONE calls and wants the story. As William is leaving to fly to San Francisco, Russell tells him to go ahead and write whatever he wants. The Rolling Stone editor loves the story and can't wait to publish it. First they have to ask the band to verify it. They don't, saying it is all lies. ROLLING STONE won't publish it and are pissed at William for fabricating the story. William is crushed. While sitting dejected in the airport he sees his sister the stewardess. They go back home together.
Back on the STILLWATER tour, one of the groupies tells Russell how horrible he was to Penny and to William. Russell calls Penny and wants to meet with her. He asks for her address. Penny, feeling bad for William, gives Russell William's address instead. Russell goes to the house thinking it's Penny's but Frances McDormand answers and lets him talk to William. The two of them talk things through.
The final scenes are a picture of the cover of the ROLLING STONE with Russell's picture on the front with the rest of the band behind him.
We then see Penny buying a ticket for Morocco.

Once Called
Tiahuanacu is in the Bolivian Andes lying 12,500 feet (over 2 miles) above sea-level. It is located several miles from the shores of Lake Titicaca. Archeology in general dates the city at c. 200 A.D., but it was not always so. Its first investigator, Prof. Arthur Posnansky, a Polish engineer who dedicated fifty years to its study, dated its origins to 15,000 B.C. As we shall see, this date is based on the convergence of several varieties of physical and astronomical data.
Strangely, Tiahuanacu appears to be a seaport (Posnansky, 1945), although the nearest body of water is Lake Titicaca, some 12-15 miles away (the distance depends on the level of the lake). There are several theories about how this happens to be. We will consider only one here.
On the rock cliffs near the piers and wharfes of the port area are yellow-white calcareous deposits forming long, straight lines indicating pre-historic water levels. These ancient shorelines are strangely tilted, although they must have once been level. The surrounding area is covered with millions of fossilized sea-shells. It appears, from the tilting of the ancient shoreline striations and the abundant presence of fossilized oceanic flora and fauna, that a tremendous uplift of land has taken place sometime in the ancient past. Geologists estimate that this happened roughly around 100 million years ago; but the data gathered from archeological and astronomical investigations indicate a different story.
What appears to be the original seashore is strangely tilted, as if a tremendous geological upheaval has taken place. It has been pointed out that my source describing the salinity of the lake and its having an "oceanic" fauna was either faulty or out of date. As will be seen below, the lake periodically changes its waters over thousands of years, which could account for changes in both salinity and fauna over time. (See Note)
Huge building blocks thrown about in all directions at the ruins of Puma Punku. (Photo by Holly Ahlberg)
The port of Tiahuanacu, called Puma Punku or "Door of the Puma," is an area filled with enormous stone blocks scattered hither and yon like matchsticks, yet weighing between 100 and 150 tons! One block still in place weighs an estimated 440 tons! One wonders, how these blocks were quarried, how they were transported from the quarries to the building site, and how the builders managed to place such huge blocks so skillfully to form this massive complex of megalithic buildings? And above all, what tremendous forces could have tumbled these gigantic stones over one another as if they were light as driftwood? Archeologists have no answers.

OpenSync is a framework which provides synchronization services for PIM data. Generally it consists of the library libopensync, various plugins and the cli msynctool/osynctool.
The OpenSync project provides a stable release, currently version 0.22, and a unstable/experimental release 0.3x, currently latest is version 0.39. Project access via SVN is also possible. A release date for the next stable version 0.40 is not yet announced.
Generally a mixture of different version numbers should be avoided especially between the stable and experimental releases. A version 0.22 plugin insists on a version 0.22 libopensync and a version 0.39 plugin should joined with the corresponding unstable library version. Since not every version step provides all available plugins, your chosen version of libopensync may depend on your plugin needs.
|libopensync version
|libopensync-stableAUR[broken link: archived in aur-mirror]-0.22

The kdepim plugin in the stable branch is useless in KDE 4, since PIM data is managed by akonadi. A suitable plugin is proposed as a part of the oncoming version 0.40. A user who wants to synchronize a syncml-capable mobile phone with evolution might be satisfied with the latest unstable version. Other users might prefer the old but stable branch. Since the community repository provides the latest unstable version of libopensync a manual downgrading is necessary. For i686, there is a unofficial user repository:

Chew on This! Food Truck Uses Compressed Natural Gas
Mayor Michael Bloomberg and oil man turned natural gas booster T. Boone Pickens introduced a new kind of food truck Thursday — one that they say is more environmentally friendly than the gas-guzzlers that choke city streets.
WNYC's Brigid Bergin says the truck is a partnership between Neopolitan Express and the company, Clean Energy Fuel.
Basically they described it as a chance to make the mobile food industry cleaner and greener. Neopolitan Express Pizza Truck cooks pizzas that are cooked for about 90 secs in an oven that's at 900 degrees. The mayor did a taste test in City Hall Park and said, with cheese hanging from his lips, the pizza is good
New York City is getting its first food truck fully powered by compressed natural gas. Proponents say it's easier on the environment.

Irene Surette – South West Nova Scotia Ostomy Chapter (February 2010)
Irene Surette is a significant other. Her husband, Mike, passed away several years ago, and since then she has remained a member of the South West Nova Scotia Ostomy chapter.
At every promotion, at every fund-raiser, at every meeting and at every function, Irene is present. There is never a gathering for which she doesn't bake. There is never a new member that she doesn't support in her own special way. Irene's pleasant manner, the twinkle in her eye, and her kind personality are assets to each and every member that comes our way. For our chapter to sing a tune for Irene is both enjoyable and rewarding.
Her husband, Mike, was President of our Chapter for 10 years and during those years Irene supported her husband's responsibilities. She was also loyal to him with his health, surgery and living with an ostomy. Irene was always at his side at functions, meetings and fundraisers. Once again, behind every good man stands a good woman and, in this case, it was, and still is, an attractive lady known as Irene.
Irene is a volunteer at the Yarmouth Food Bank, a member of the Yarmouth Garden Club, a member of the Lionettes and a fund raising chairperson of our chapter. She is very active in her own personal life such as shopping, cleaning, baking, gardening and sharing time with a very close friend who is very supportive to her and her interests. Irene has collected and packed supplies for third world countries for many years, and still assists.
Alfred Thébeau – Moncton Chapter
Alfred Thébeau received a colostomy 19 years ago due to cancer. He has been married to Marie Celine for 43 years and has two children and three grandchildren. He is now retired, having worked for nine years as a mechanic, 10 as a Service Manager and 16 as a truck salesman, all with the same company,
Alfred was Moncton chapter president twice. The first time was for 4 ½ years and the 2nd for four years (2006-2010). Prior to being president, he was in charge of getting guest speakers for the meetings. He was co-chair of the annual UOAC conference in 2006 in Moncton. He worked very hard, along with his co-chair Minerva Holton, by getting speakers, doing fundraising and any other things that needed to be done. During the conference, Alfred ensured everything went smoothly. For the four days of the conference, Alfred and Marie Celine were available almost 24 hours a day.
Alfred is a certified visitor as well as a member of the telephone committee. He participates in any fundraising the chapter organizes. He has also attended a number of conferences. He says that he always learns something new during conferences and has made many new friends.
Alfred is a charter member, and now a life member, of the Irishtown Lions Club. He served as President, Secretary and visitation chairman of the Lions Club. He was also involved in the committee to build the Irishtown Community Centre in conjunction with the Lions Club. In 1990, he received the Melvin Jones Fellow Award given for Dedicated Humanitarian Services. At present, he is a member and treasurer of the Saint Antoine Gun Club.
During his spare time, Alfred's passions are hunting, golf, watching hockey and walking. He also enjoys spending time at his camp.
Alfred likes making people laugh at meetings. He says that laughter is good medicine. Because of his friendly smile and always upbeat attitude, he is a joy to have at our meetings.

Joan Mancinelli – Regina Chapter
Joan Mancinelli has had an ileostomy since 1980, due to Crohn's Disease.
Thirty years ago, Joan joined the Regina Ostomy Chapter where she has worked tirelessly in various capacities. She served on the Phoning Committee for two years in the early 1980s and was also Chapter President for one year, in 1988. She has been an ostomy visitor for 25 years and since 1999, has also been head of the Visiting Committee, arranging visitor seminars, meeting occasionally with the ETs as well as arranging all the visits to patients in the hospital, including follow-up phone calls and reports to UOAC.
Joan sits on the Executive of the Chapter, helping to find speakers for the monthly meetings (which she rarely misses) and annual seminar. She works on the Xmas party committee each year and is a hard worker when it comes to setting up for meetings or special events. Whenever we need something done, we know Joan is the person to ask for help.
Last August, Joan attended the UOAC convention in Sydney, Nova Scotia, which she thoroughly enjoyed, and now plans to be present at the next convention in Toronto, 2012.
As if her work with the chapter weren't enough, she has a son, daughter-in-law and grandson. After a 29 year career as a secretary with the Saskatchewan Provincial Government, she retired in 1996 and presently works in a bakery, which she loves.
Joan is also a 40-year member of the Catholic Women's League. She was once area coordinator for the annual Heart & Stroke campaign as well as a door-to-door canvasser for the Cancer Society. She volunteers at the Regina Globe Theatre. Lately, Joan has become involved with Grandmothers 4 Grandmothers, the Stephen Lewis foundation which raises money to help grandmothers in Africa raise their grandchildren, whose parents have died from HIV Aids. She also personally supports a child through World Vision. Last but not least, Joan has a keen interest in photography and shows herself as a true Saskatchewanite, with her avid interest in our beloved Saskatchewan Roughriders football team.
We salute Joan Mancinelli, whose dedication and support to other ostomates helps keep our Chapter going. This is why we nominate her to be our Unsung Hero.
Lorette Comeau – South West Nova Scotia Ostomy Chapter
Lorette Comeau is an ostomate who has been a South West Nova Scotia Ostomy member for many years. Her supportive husband, Robert, attends each and every meeting and event with her.
Robert and Lorette recently celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary and have three sons, certainly living proof of their wedded bliss.
Lorette is our anchor in keeping us on top of our greetings. She listens and reads the news so that she misses no one. We always know that when called upon she will send out a get well wish or a sympathy card. She uses her good judgment on many occasions to send prayer cards. Lorette also forms part of our phone committee.
Lorette and Robert are very special people and we are thankful for their support and continuous attendance. We all want to express our praise and gratitude and truly believe that Lorette is an Unsung Hero.
Des notes de louange 'a toi, Lorette.

Alyson Walsh – Halifax Chapter
Alyson Walsh may be soft spoken and shy, but she's a human dynamo when it comes to getting things done.
The 64-year-old retired teacher from Dartmouth, married to husband Leo for 33 years, suffered from ulcerative colitis for six years before she finally convinced doctors that she needed, and desperately wanted, an ileostomy done so she could have an improved quality of life.
"My gastroenterologist had me on prednisone but it wasn't really working well for me," Alyson recalls. "Finally, much of what I was eating was pureed and life wasn't great. I went to an information session with a group of gastroenterologists in Halifax and one surgeon suggested the operation would be better than staying on drugs. My doctor finally agreed, and the surgery was done in 2004."
Alyson says she's never regretted a minute. With no other health issues, she had a good recovery.
When Ann Ray, an Ostomy visitor of the Metro Halifax chapter, stopped in, Alyson was convinced to join. "I didn't know people with ileostomies or urostomies, and had heard a bit of colostomies, but I went to the first meeting I could after I left hospital."
The chapter is forever grateful. Alyson, even though benefiting from meeting new people and learning from their experiences, pitched in immediately. She quickly became the refreshments coordinator, assisted on the chapter's 35th anniversary committee and 2009 World Ostomy Day Committee , plus her ability and love for knitting and crocheting has meant a boon to chapter fundraising as she prepares quilts and other items for raffle. Her input has helped raise more than $1,000 in the last two years.
Even though she retired from elementary school teaching a dozen years ago, Alyson is never idle. She plays piano, knits, crochets, bowls in a regular league and bakes constantly.
"I'm never bored," she says, eagerly anticipating starting another streak of attending Ostomy meetings, one broken by a major snowstorm January 9, 2011, after six years of never missing one. "I've learned so much, met wonderful people who gave me a sense of togetherness, everyone so friendly and nice. At that first meeting, I just felt we all had something in common and that never stops."
Alyson brings Leo to every meeting ("I signed him as a member, too," she says) and he's now the main greeter at the door. "He's shyer than me but he enjoys meeting people and talking with them. I think I can get him more involved, too."
Robert Wychers – Ostomy Toronto
If you've ever been to an Ostomy Toronto meeting, you've met Robert Wychers - Robert is our faithful greeter at the door and welcomes everyone with a smile, a name tag and tickets for the 50/50 draw. If you haven't met Robert yet, you will if you're coming to the UOAC conference as he will be one of the people serving you coffee and offering conversation in our hospitality room. This job is perfectly suited to Robert and I'm sure by of the conference, he will have met everyone. Robert rarely misses a meeting, brings all the AV equipment I can't carry even though he too takes transit. He is the first one there to set up the room and put up signs as our new location is a bit of a maze and the last one to leave.
Robert has been our program director for many years, a member of our board and is always the first to volunteer to help. He brings an interesting perspective to all our meetings. This past year we've done a lot of displays and he takes our signs and all materials faithfully to each location - not an easy task by transit in a city the size of Toronto and he sometimes does more than one display a week. This year, he helped with the distribution of our new materials, a huge task that involved dropping packages with every ET and ostomy supplier in the GTA. He was also instrumental in finding our new meeting location when the church we were using was closing.
For everything Robert does, he truly deserves the title of Unsung Hero!
Sharon and Gerald Sheen – Calgary Ostomy Society
Sharon and Gerald Sheen have been members of the Calgary Ostomy Society for many years.
Gerald had ileostomy surgery for ulcerative colitis. Having an ostomy certainly hasn't slowed either of them down. Gerald continued to work for many years and retired from professional life about three years ago. They have been a great support to our chapter and are always ready to lend a hand when needed.
When our social convener could no longer participate, the Sheens stepped right into the role. Every meeting they make the coffee, set out the refreshments (most of which Sharon makes herself), serve and then clean up. They also look after our annual Christmas potluck, which is a tremendous undertaking.
Recently Calgary - CB Medical became the Western Canada depot for FOWC. The Sheens have been there to help sort and pack supplies for shipment to Toronto and countries that are in need of these supplies. They always make themselves available when there is an event to plan and participate in.
They are both very active in their church community. Sharon enjoys doing crafts and Gerald is perfecting his winemaking skills.
Joan Peddle – Moncton Chapter
Our unsung hero is our ET – Joan Peddle. Even though she is not an ostomate, she has helped make the Moncton Ostomy Chapter run smoothly. Joan has her RN, Bachelor of Nursing and Canadian Nursing Association certification in Community Health and Enterostomal Therapy. She has given 16 years or more years of service to community health care, working full time for the New Brunswick Extra Mural Program. She has been an ET nurse since 2006 and attends ET conferences to maintain her level of expertise. Joan also does volunteer work, and is currently involved with a dia-betic foot care peer education program through the Canadian Association of Wound care to support people with diabetes in caring for their feet.
Joan attends all Moncton chapter meetings and functions. She has attended and been involved in the Moncton Chapter cluster meetings and two visitor training sessions held in the Moncton area. She is involved in all chapter business as part of our Medical Advisory Board and is responsible for finding great guest speakers for our monthly meetings. She holds monthly Ostomy clinics at a local Lawton's Pharmacy to help ostomates in the community. The purpose of these clinics is for Ostomates to be able to access the services of an ET nurse in the community, for consultations and to pro-vide education about products that are available.
She is a great mentor for old and new ostomates; she gives family members support and she informs the community how important it is to give unused appliances to the chapter to send to Friends of Ostomates Worldwide Canada. In 2006, Moncton held the annual UOAC meeting and Joan was chair for finance and registration. This meeting was very suc-cessful with over 200 participants. Joan was part of a great team of volunteers for our small numbers, but our Moncton Chapter has and always will be a great one to belong to.
Our chapter could use more people like Joan Peddle who makes the lives of all ostomates richer. For these reasons above, the Moncton Ostomy Chapter would like to nominate Joan Peddle for the unsung hero award.
Irene Stagg, Ostomy Halifax, April 2016
Irene Stagg gives so much to Ostomy Halifax. Irene is quiet and goes about helping others with no fanfare or desire for praise. She just gets the job done.
A retired nurse after 38 years of service who looks as though she must have started her career at age 10, Irene "solved" her Crohn's problem with an irreversible ileostomy in 1981.
She immediately joined the Halifax chapter and has been volunteering ever since. Starting as member of the youth group, Irene looked after grocery tapes, totalling them for rebates that could be used for chapter funding. She was an interim treasurer, served on the organizing committees for the chapter's 25th and 40th anniversaries, was a certified visitor and, five years ago, took over as visitor chair.
"The late Olive Jackson became chapter vice-president and had to give up visitor chair," Irene recalls. "(member) Gail Creelman held my hand up as the next chair and whispered to me, 'I'll help you', and that's how it happened."
She also handles the Ostomy Halifax phone line, answering questions and solving problems for new and experienced ostomates.
In her key role as Volunteer Visitor Coordinator, Irene receives calls from the ETs with names of those who have recently had surgery. Irene links the patients to chapter visitors of the same age, gender and ostomy type, not always an easy task.
Irene also coordinates Visitor Training Sessions. Visitors must complete a national certification every three years. Irene keeps track of who needs training, works with the ETs to develop the training materials, coordinates the sessions, the delivery of the training, and the provision of information to national office.
Not content to be idle, Irene volunteers once a week, assisting patients negotiate their way through the hospital in which she worked for 31 years.
She is a true unsung hero at Ostomy Halifax.
Helmet Friesen – Unsung Hero – Posthumously, May 2016
Helmut Friesen was a member of the Winnipeg Ostomy Association since 1992 as a cancer survivor and an ostomate. Fortunately for us, the Winnipeg Ostomy Association was one of Helmut's great passions and he worked diligently to offer emotional support, experienced and practical help to all who walked through our doors.
Any new ostomate was greeted at our meetings by Helmut, hand outstretched, a smile on his face and armed with a fountain of knowledge to share.
Helmut was always respectful, a wonderful advocate for those living with an ostomy and worked to make their lives easier in some way. His great knowledge of the Government Health system, and his untiring lobbying were instrumental in the successful bid to maintain our very important and unique Manitoba Ostomy Program. His dedication to the Winnipeg Ostomy Association was very evident in every involvement.
When he was 1st Vice-President, Helmut was the kind of person who allowed mistakes without being picky, listened to ideas and problems, suggested other options with wisdom, and let people grow. When he had an idea, he was patient but determined. He knew when to push and when to back off.
His ability to speak to ostomates and give encouragement and advice was evident at all the meetings and educational sessions. Helmut was a certified visitor, reliable, caring, insightful and always ready to respond to requests for a visit.
His upbeat attitude was a great example of someone successfully living with an ostomy.
Helmut took on the responsibility, almost single-handedly, of collecting unused ostomy supplies from different sources in Manitoba. He created a pick-up team, figured out the correct way to sort and package the supplies, worked out a cost saving arrangement with a transport company to ship the supplies to the collection depot in Ontario. Countless hours of phone calls, pick-ups, and sorting and packing were all part of his ongoing work behind the scenes.
Helmut was the one constant figure in our Winnipeg Ostomy family. His commitment and strengths served us very well. In fact, I think we could call him our statesman, our patriarch, our pillar of strength.
John McCormick – Ostomy Newfoundland and Labrador Chapter – January 2017
John McCormick has been a member of the Ostomy Newfoundland and Labrador Chapter since he was diagnosed in 2001 with bladder cancer.
John has been the driving force of our Fundraising Committee since 2006.
John's motto is that if there is a child in Newfoundland & Labrador wanting to go to Camp Horizon well we will make sure he or she goes.
John starts in early September and visits every business there is in St. John's, Mount Pearl and Trinity North looking for donation for either our Christmas dinner or our annual Spring BBQ.
John is the type of person who throws himself into the fundraising project without having to be asked.
John, we really appreciate everything you do for our chapter and the children of our province.
Thank you so very much.
Emery Fanjoy – Halifax Ostomy Society – June 2017
Emery Fanjoy has been a backbone of Halifax Ostomy Society since the fall of 2010.
"My wife, Nan, had emergency ileostomy surgery in June 2010," he recalls. "We accepted it immediately as our new reality. I helped Nan manage it for about three months and then she took over the task completely. Being an R.N., she was used to such matters. The ostomy didn't affect our quality of life in any way."
Emery, an electrical engineer who turned to sales and marketing and then to an executive role in the public sector, admits to being a curious type. He saw a brochure (for Ostomy Halifax) on a hospital bulletin board and he and Nan decided to investigate.
Emery accompanied Nan to that first meeting and immediately got involved. Both became certified visitors. Nan contributed baking and sandwich-making to monthly meetings as well as offering her cheery personality to chapter members and newcomers.
Never one to seek an executive role in the chapter but to work behind the scenes, Emery used his knowledge gleaned in many years of private and public sector work to help move the chapter forward. He assisted in improving financial reporting. He spearheaded a revision of the goals, values and mission statement of the chapter, resulting in more people with energy joining the board and executive.
He guided a committee to spread letters to each of 76 pharmacies in the Halifax area, letters distributed to customers buying ostomy supplies. The letters encouraged ostomates to talk to a certified visitor if they were experiencing difficulties, something many people are reluctant to do.
He arranged an ostomy speaker to appear at the annual meeting of Doctors Nova Scotia to make family physicians more aware of ostomies and the patients.
With others, he coordinated the program, and arranged many of the speakers, for the very successful Ostomy Outreach Atlantic, held in April 2017 in Truro NS with more than 150 attendees. He emceed the event and introduced the speakers.
"From that first meeting we attended seven years ago, I was impressed with the people who do so much for ostomates," Emery says. "It was just automatic for me to help out, coming from a family that was very involved."

Long-Lasting Wooden Battery Could Revolutionize Energy Storage
University of Maryland researchers used natural fibers to create a sodium-ion battery.
Scientists are constantly looking for new and eco-friendly ways to create and store energy. Recently researchers at the University of Maryland have submitted a paper detailing their development of a battery made of wood.
The idea of a battery made of wood was inspired by trees. Wood fibers are soft, strong, flexible, and naturally designed to hold liquid electrolytes. Most batteries are made with bases that are too stiff to withstand the changes that occur when ions flow through the battery. The research team at the Energy Research Center of the University of Maryland decided to explore the use of wooden fibers as the base of a battery.
Dr. Liangbing Hu, Teng Li, Hongli Zhu, and the rest of the research team used microscopic wood fibers that have been flattened out into thin sheets and coated with a layer of tin. The team also used sodium instead of lithium to make the battery more environment-friendly.
The prototype sodium-ion battery was able to last for 400 charging cycles. The researchers discovered that the wood fibers became wrinkled but remained intact.
The research team sees the wooden battery as a low-cost solution to energy storage and their paper published on Nano Letters indicated the potential for the technology to be used in large-scale energy storage systems like in solar energy installations or wind farms.
The research was supported by the National Science Foundation and the University of Maryland.
