I have looked into these switches and discounted them. I am looking for
some management capabilities which the PowerConnect 27xx series of
switches support. Unfortunately the GS1xx series of switches are unmanaged.
The PowerConnect switches by Dell appear to be the best bang for the
buck for a home network. However, I am still open to recommendations.

Boudoir Bump - Great Pregnancy Photos
I'm Sarah and I was one of the brave ladies to put my name forward to try out a company called FYEO Portraits and have a Boudoir Bump Photo Shoot.
As this is my second and most probably last pregnancy, (with a 20 month old running around the pregnancy has kind of passed by quickly) I wanted myself and this baby to have its own cherished memories. I felt very lucky to be chosen but also apprehensive at the name 'Boudoir Bump'! What was I letting myself in for and would I be brave enough to bare all?
I checked out the gallery on the website and saw all of these lovely maternity pictures of pregnant ladies and wondered if I could look this good a few weeks before I'm about to pop. Already my backside is growing as much as my bump and my walk has turned into a waddle and I'm only five months so how on earth would I get into the moment and feel sexy at eight months pregnant?? Help!!!!!
Anyway, I called up to book my appointment and all of my questions about the shoot were answered - especially the one about it being an all-female studio. I was told exactly what to expect and what I may like to bring along on the day to wear for the shoot. She told me not to worry if I forgot anything as she was sending out an information pack and I could call if I needed anything else. My pack arrived the following day in a lovely envelope with pictures, invitation to the shoot, and information, all wrapped in a lovely bow ...... I'm actually getting excited now .....roll on July, it seems so far away.
Keep looking at the gallery on the website and telling my friends what I'm doing; some think I'm mad; some think I'm brave but all can't wait to see the outcome.
So the day has arrived, Mum and I are driving to the High Wycombe studio, Jess is looked after and we arrive nice and early to make a day of it and stop in the pub next door for a spot of lunch in the sun!!! It's actually the hottest day of the year and I'm feeling hot and sticky and not in the slightest bit sexy but here goes, 2pm and time for my shoot.
Pregnant Bump PhotographyAfter being seen to the waiting-room we are offered cold drinks and given a bit more information about the day ahead. Looking around the room, there are canvas prints of sexy brides-to-be and bumps. I wish I looked like that.
The girls are very friendly and ask me to look through an album so I can see what we are doing and see if I have any preference to the type of shots. I'm glad I have my mum here for moral support as I am getting nervous about being in my underwear in front of a photographer and possibly being photographed naked. Aaaaaah.
We are shown through to the make-up room where I have my make-up applied and it looks both natural and sultry at the same time. Being such a hot day I'm actually starting to look forward to just wearing my underwear!!! The photographer tells me that a lot of mum- to-be are bought this shoot as a joint gift from friends and for £199 and a print at the end it seems like a lovely gift to both give and receive. I'm enjoying my time so far.
Claire my photographer introduces herself and we enter the studio which is dark and lit by spotlights, which creates the boudoir effect! We go through my little wardrobe of underwear and props - yes I left the big maternity pants and bra at home and found some nice lingerie to flatter my new curves! I start to think about her seeing me scantily clad, then a thought occurs that in five weeks time whilst in labour, all and sundry will be seeing a lot more of me than I dare think about and so I think what the heck and pop on my teeny outfit.
Claire guides me through, telling me where to look, how to pose and I soon get into it. Every now and then I get the giggles, but soon feel more confident. My mum looks so proud watching and I relax and have fun, even when she asks me to throw off my little knickers and get totally naked and bare my bum.
I'd never do this normally, even in the ladies changing rooms, but wow I'm feeling quite liberated and sexy, especially when the fan is on me blowing my hair and the sheer material is placed over my bump.
I have seen a shot with a lady lying down arching her back. Can I do that? I'll give it a go!! God knows what these photos will come out like. Can they airbrush that much off of me - ha-ha and what about the cellulite? Hopefully the dim lights will hide it all!!!
After an hour and half we are done. I have used all of my wardrobe and props and was sitting there going through what happens next. Claire will review my pictures, pick out the best ones, around 20-30 usually touch them up for me and then send me an email so that I can log in and see them on-line, I can then choose my 9 x 6 souvenir photograph and purchase any further prints I may want such as a canvas or photo album. I am so excited. How long will I have to wait?
Mum said the photos should come out lovely from what she had seen. We both agreed that the day had been fun, the ladies in the studio were really reassuring and I felt both sexy and proud of my figure for the first time in many months!
Two days later I find an email from Claire ..... it's here, my photos are ready. It's also my Baby Shower and 15 of my friends are about to arrive at my house. Do I dare show them? I take a peek,,,,,
WOW, I am completely stunned. Is that really me? They are
My friends turn up and we spend ages looking at my pictures on the website. I am so glad that they came though today at my baby shower. What timing! They are all totally impressed at the quality of the photos, the way that they make a size 14 pregnant mum like me look like a sexy goddess. I would even be happy if you asked if my picture could be projected over Trafalgar Square for the whole of London to see, that is how good about my bump and rather large backside Boudoir Bump has made me feel.
I would recommend a Boudoir Bump photo shoot to any mum-to-be. It is money well spent to have a memory like that and to feel so glamorous and sexy in the latter stages of your pregnancy.
The prices of the additional photographs and canvases are on the high side but I definitely want to purchase a second print. I love the silhouette shot where I know its me but you can't see my face. But to compliment it I would like to have a shot with my face in. it's a once in a lifetime experience and I want these photos just to prove to myself that I am sexy.
Thank you to FyeoPortraits and TheBabyWebsite for giving me this experience, its one of the best in my life and I will keep it with me forever.
Sarah Hickey, Mum to 20 month old Jess and member of TheBabyWebsite

About Me
MORE PICS COMING SOON! I'm in school, so I use my time wisely
Hi! My name is Daya Groves and I'm 18! I turned 18 DECEMBER 8th 2008. I just know there are some photographers out there who will only work with models over a certain age, so that was all for you ladies and gentleman!
I have just recently moved to the painfully small town of Cadiz, Kentucky, but I still drive all over to visit friends and relatives I've left behind, so traveling is not a problem for me I was approached to do modeling by a very experienced model/photographer and she suggested I set up a Model Mayhem account to get started, so here I am!
Modeling is another one of many artistic outlets for me. I am involved in many artforms such as theatre, painting, drawing, sculpting, musical theatre, piano, guitar, literature -including poetry-writing and short stories--, and so on... Everything I do I do it with passion and that includes anything from a community theatre project to a school paper. Modeling will be no exception.
Have you worked with Daya Groves? Add Credits for Daya Groves! >>

The humble beginnings of Andrea Correale, one of the finest New York Caterers, began at the Correale family dinner table, where her mom, Marie, would teach her how a table can be beautifully prepared with creativity on any budget. Andrea started her career at the age of 16 when she created an "event staff for hire" company in Long Island. Upon graduating with a degree in Hotel and Restaurant Management in NYIT, she established Elegant Affairs, which is now an extremely successful off-premise catering and event planning empire!
Elegant Affairs is now a 15,000-square-food facility in Glen Clove, New York that hosts over 800 events per year, which catered to top brands like L'Oreal Paris Academy, Ehow.com, Sam's Club, Celebrations.com, and most recently, Lenox China. Andrea is not only famous for her fierce entrepreneurial skills and infectious personality, but also for her innovative and unique food presentations. Elegant Affairs has satisfied some of the most discriminating of palates like Mariah Carey, Kevin Spacey, Mitt Romney, Ivana Trump, and Brooke Shields.
Today, Celebrity Caterer & Lenox Home Entertaining Expert Andrea Correale of Elegant Affairs Caterers, will be sharing her recipe for "Mulled Red Wine," which has an irresistible warmth and flavor perfectly fit for this festive season.
Mulled Red Wine
One bottle (750 ml) of red wine (suggestions: Cabernet Sauvignon, Zinfandel, Merlot)
One peeled and sliced orange (keep peel to add zest to taste into cooking pot)
1/4 cup of brandy
8-10 cloves
1/3 cup honey or sugar*
3 cinnamon sticks
1 tsp fresh or 2 tsp ground ginger (allspice can be substituted)
Sun Dried Cherries for Garnish
1. To make the perfect cup of mulled wine, combine all ingredients in either a large pot or a slow cooker. Gently warm the ingredients on low to medium heat (avoid boiling), for 20-25 minutes. Stir occasionally to make sure that the honey or sugar has completely dissolved. 2. When the wine is steaming and the ingredients have been well blended it is ready to serve.
3. Ladle the mulled wine into a Tuscany Classics Red Tumbler by Lenox garnish with sun-dried cherries on a skewer and enjoy!
Note: The 1/3 cup of honey or sugar does make a sweeter-styled mulled wine, feel free to cut honey/sugar down to taste.
Elegant Affairs is located at 110 Glen Cove Avenue Glen Cove New York.

The Shakespeare Conference: SHK 11.0506 Wednesday, 15 March 2000.
Date: Tuesday, 14 Mar 2000 08:11:42 -0800
Subject: 11.0490 Re: Julius Caesar, Cesario, Ganymede
Comment: Re: SHK 11.0490 Re: Julius Caesar, Cesario, Ganymede
I take L. Swilley's point about not constructing characters on the basis
of historical determinacy, but isn't historical determinacy a special
deployment of historical research? I mean, couldn't I research
Plutarch's Caesar in order to see how Shakespeare's is different,
therefore to determine the sorts of decisions Shakespeare is making?
For that matter, I could look at previous depictions of Caesar in
fiction to see how Shakespeare is correcting them.
Somebody argues (I still haven't found it) that not only was Shakespeare
breaking with his sources in showing Cordelia murdered, rather than
committing suicide, but that he was correcting his sources, reversing
the lie that Edmund would have promulgated. I would think that this
makes us more sympathetic towards both Lear and Cordelia, which, by at
least one definition, makes them more into persons.
I'm thinking here of how any sort of depiction of Hitler on screen
invites comparison with Chaplin's Great Dictator, or how Pierce
Brosnan's agent 007 is relentlessly compared to Sean Connery's. This
isn't to say that they're simply the same. It might be to point out
variations, and therefore the director's, actor's, or writer's
approach. In reading Shakespeare's Henry VIII, I'm always struck by how
different his title character appears from the wife-slaughtering,
obscenely overweight creature of popular (twentieth-century) history.

Maybe it was the sunny weather, but Toronto Raptors fans attending the pre-party for the basketball team's first playoff game against the Brooklyn Nets on Saturday were a decidedly optimistic bunch.
Thousands came out to watch the game live on a large screen outside Toronto's Air Canada Centre at 12:30 p.m. and celebrate the end of a five-year playoff drought. The Raptors last made the playoffs in 2007-08.
The pre-party kicked off in Maple Leaf Square at 10:30 a.m. but people were lined up more than an hour before, said Josh Jueols, 18, holding a large Raptors blanket with his friend Jermaine Powel, 20.
Mr. Jueols thinks the Raptors had "the skill level" in past seasons, but not the chemistry he thinks they have now.
"Toronto's going all the way this year," he said.
The boisterous crowd and loud music didn't deter George Jakji from coming out with his seven-year-old twins, whom he described as "diehard fans."
He said Mathew and Andrew, both sporting Raptors jerseys, were supposed to go to hockey this morning but wanted to come here instead.
With his father's encouragement, Andrew said wasn't surprised to see the Raptors in the playoffs. "They did really good [this season]."
While many fans in the thick swarm of people claimed to be Raptors fans through thick and thin, Shyan Van Heer admitted his support wavers from time to time. "It's a love-hate relationship," said the 18-year-old with a grin.
But he thinks home court advantage will bring in Saturday's win.
"We've got this, we're dinosaurs," his friend piped in.
In another corner of the crowd, Mark Walker said he was so revved up for Saturday's game he couldn't sleep the night before.
"It's really exciting," he said. He's thinking about making the weekend trip down to New York for games three and four.
An hour before the tip-off, the line to get into the party still snaked around Air Canada Centre almost one full block.
Gabriel Badejo, 23, and Joel Jeyaraj, 22, were waiting in line and didn't seem to mind.
"It's pretty dope out here," said Mr. Bandejo. He's hopes the hype around the Raptors' success will show the rest of the world how much Canada loves basketball.
The Murphy family, traditionally hockey-lovers, were watching the party from just outside the fence in Maple Leave Square. Jennifer Murphy said they got caught up in the basketball hype this year and went to a couple of Raptors' games for the first time.
"There are a lot of diehard (Raptors) fans at work and it's infectious", said Ms. Murphy, who was with her husband Stuart and son Jack. But she still wishes her favourite hockey team made the playoffs.
"Too bad the Leafs couldn't be joining them," she said with a shrug.
Organizers were expecting 5,000 people at Saturday's event.Report Typo/Error

But spokeswoman Jenni Coutts conceded some of the initial planting works by contractors had needed to be redone.
"It wasn't done at the right time and it died off," she said.
Transurban was trying to work with the council and community groups for a spring planting program, she said.
Furthermore, contractors were only required to paint the walls to a height of four metres.
Ms Coutts said these items were scheduled for discussion with Moreland Council on Friday.
Moreland Council wants about $500,000 for landscaping and $35,000 a year for maintenance.
Transurban wants the council to agree to a deal struck with Moonee Valley council for about a third of the price.
"We won't accept half-baked quotes that will not result in the work being properly done. It's about quality," Cr Larocca said.
Transport Minister Peter Batchelor said he would ask Melbourne City Link Authority to follow up on all outstanding landscaping contractual obligations.
On a tour of the area, Cr Larocca pointed out the house at 31 Wheeler Street: it was used as a site office during construction but is now derelict. With a smashed front door and windows, the house is used by squatters.
Greenbank Crescent resident Linda Gunn pointed to areas of concrete where plants once grew.
Audrey Biggs and Rita Minuzzo of Balfe Crescent said the solid concrete walls had blocked panoramic views.
Windows from upper and lower storeys of public housing at Waxman Parade looked on to a plain grey concrete sound wall only metres away.
The MCLA it had just received the legal transfer of the derelict house last Thursday and would be securing and tidying the site, spokeswoman Mary Baker said.
"The property will be transferred back to the Victorian Government Property Group who will determine the best commercial use of the land," she said.
It may be sold as a dwelling or bulldozed.
The MCLA had spent more than $1million of public money on 1300 square metres of see-through panels for seven locations in response to community concerns, even though they were not required under the City Link contract, she said.
"Where the walls shadowed people's homes we agreed to provide the transparent panelling and pay for it.
"Transurban are under pressure regarding the appearance of the landscaping," Ms Baker said.

3.. 2.. 1.. Take off. The Flyers' season doesn't begin for another week and a half, but goaltender Ilya Bryzgalov is already making headlines in the Philadelphia media with his quotes. "He's like from the movie Cast Away. We need to buy some ball for him so he has best buddy Wilson," said Bryzgalov when asked about forward Scott Hartnell's hairstyle. It was a line that certainly generated some laughs around Twitter and the blogosphere today, but does Bryzgalov's joking nature distract him from performing well on the ice? Last season, Bryzgalov saw some stretches where he really struggled, and it sometimes seemed as if he would never gain his bearings and fit well in Philly. Heading into 2013, the 32-year-old goaltender seems much more prepared to be the go-to guy. "I had a great experience the last year. I understand the philosophy of how it works here, the fans, media, even the management of the team. I make some notes in my head for myself. And I'm going to follow them," said a collected Bryzgalov. The former Phoenix Coyote netminder is also looking forward to an expanded workload, at least percentage wise, this season. Head Coach Peter Laviolette has vowed to play Bryzgalov more this season, and Bryz certainly welcomed that opportunity. "When I play in Phoenix, I play almost 70 games a season and I feel great," said Bryzgalov. Obviously, 70 games isn't going to be an option in this 48-game, lockout-shortened campaign, but not having a goaltender like Sergie Bobrovsky behind him stealing more than just spot starts will certainly force Bryzgalov into a more prominent role. Last season, Bryzgalov finished with a .909 save percentage, 2.48 goals against average, and one charge of larceny after a fully-extended glove save on Pittsburgh Penguins' defenseman Kris Letang in the playoffs. Bryz started just 59 games in the regular season. With the Coyotes in '10-'11, Bryzgalov played in nine more games. He finished with an identical goals against average (2.48), but his save percentage was much more efficient at .921 for the season. The year before that, Bryzgalov started all 69 games that he played in. He posted a 2.29 goals against average with a .920 save percentage and 42 wins in what stands, right now, as the best season of his nine-year career. The moral of the story? Ilya Bryzgalov needs to play, and he needs to play often. He has the ability to be an elite goaltender in the National Hockey League when he's on top of his game. With the mental hurdles seemingly in the past, and without anyone breathing down his neck for playing time or overly criticizing his off-the-wall quotes, Bryzgalov can focus on being the starting goaltender. We're acclimated to Bryzgalov's personality and playing style. He's acclimated to the hightened media attention and extremely passionate fan base. Let's hope the Russian goaltender can build upon a decent 2012 campaign and turn it into a stellar 2013 season. That would be one small step for Bryz, one giant leap for the Philadelphia Flyers. C.J.

There was no shortage of storylines surrounding the Seneca Valley football team as this season got under way. It was believed by those outside the program that the Raiders would be void of the talent that earned them a spot in the WPIAL semifinals in 2012.
Then, there was much focus Quad North opposition. There were three-time defending WPIAL champion North Allegheny, the hot assistants-turned-head coaches in Pine-Richland's Eric Kasperowicz and North Hills' Pat Carey, and the hype surrounding Central Catholic.
All of the drama left the Raiders out of much of the preseason conversation.
As the season heads down the stretch, the Raiders are back in the conversation in a big way, thanks in part to junior quarterback T.J. Holl and some of his long-time teammates.
Holl, who spent all of last season playing strictly defense, quietly earned the starting quarterback job. But since the opening game, the new starter has been anything but quiet on the field.
The Raiders opened the season beating rivals Pine-Richland and North Allegheny for the first time in a decade. The team dropped its only game to Central Catholic before rebounding at Shaler two weeks ago. Holl threw for 251 yards and two touchdowns and rushed for four more, helping the Raiders keep pace for a possible share of the section title.
"I knew I would have to step up this year," Holl said. "I like being the QB; I like the responsibility. I know some people can be critical because I am the coach's son, but I think I have proved to the doubters that I am the right guy for the job."
Holl said the biggest challenges for him were learning how to read a defense and knowing exactly where to go with the ball post snap.
"What I bring to the offense is intensity and the fact I am a dual threat with my running and throwing," Holl said. "I think I have a high football IQ thanks to my dad being the coach and my brothers. Because of that, I was able to learn what I had to very fast."
Although he likes to throw and run the ball, Holl was adamant that he is willing to do whatever it takes for the team to win.
By spending much of last year on the other side of the ball, Holl was probably an afterthought on offense for those outside the team. But Holl and other players contributing on offense knew what they could do when their opportunity came.
"Me, Eric (Mrkonja), Brad (Hensler) and Mason (Dehart) have been together since eighth grade," Holl said. "We knew Mason would be big time, and Eric and Brad are just so consistent. We all worked out together all summer and knew we had to step up."
Mrkonja knew that Holl was the right guy to lead this team.
"T.J. has a lot of heart, a lot of skill and is an amazing football player," Mrkonja said. "He picks up players who are down and will push people to the limit."
Holl noted that the win over North Allegheny was the testament of hard work paying off for the Raiders.
"They were a stake in our sides, and we felt the weight on our shoulders," Holl said. "It was a relief, it was gratifying and the fact we beat NA made it 10 times better."
Holl's dream since eighth grade has been to play for and win a WPIAL championship.
The dream has a chance to be a reality for the Raiders because many of the skill players are juniors.
"We just have a connection," Mrkonja said. "Ever since we were in seventh grade, T.J. and I have had a connection. It's like when he is scrambling out there, we can read each other's minds."

Tags and QR readers giving CAC an electronic leg up in recruiting students
By Guy Harrison, Media & Marketing Specialist
PINAL COUNTY, Ariz. - While tag and QR (quick response) readers may appear to be the latest gadgetry to hit the telecommunications world, more organizations and business are using this technology to better reach their customers.
Count Central Arizona College, and in particular, its office of student recruitment, among the many organizations to ride this new wave of student interaction
This was just part of an updated annual recruitment plan unveiled at the Pinal County Community College District Governing Board Meeting held on Tuesday, May 17, at CAC's Signal Peak Campus.
The plan includes four goals, the fourth of which was to develop a more efficient way of receiving prospective student data from traditional age students (18-22).
Tag and QR readers allow their users to scan pixilated, nondescript images with the cameras on their Smartphones, instantly bringing the user to a specific webpage - in this case a site where students can request more information from the college.
"Our students don't want e-mails anymore," Luis Sanchez, CAC's assistant director of recruitment, stated. "They would rather get information on their phones."
It goes without saying that as a collegiate recruitment office it pays to keep up with the latest information-gathering trends. The use of tag and QR technology allows the recruitment office to meet the demands of its target demographic.
In addition, the recruitment office has as one of its goals to assess and evaluate its current recruitment practices in order to develop higher-quality and more effective recruitment practices.
"We'll be conducting surveys with local guidance counselors, our prospective students, and our own outreach staff to evaluate our performance," Sanchez explained.
By evaluating its current practices and developing streamlined ways of reaching target audiences, the office of recruitment hopes to increase its number of admitted students by five percent.
The office's annual plan also calls for an increase in its communication with prospective students, hoping for an increase in matriculation rate from prospective student to enrolled student.
To achieve this, the office will, according to Sanchez, make individual visits to all of CAC's feeder schools as well as maximize its use of e-mail, social networking, and text messaging. The goal is to increase the district-wide enrollment by 10 percent.
The office of recruitment plans to create a more comprehensive online portal for prospective students. Specifically, the plan calls for the creation of a CAC prospective student webpage and tags or QR (quick response) readers that will allow students to enter their own data into our system for accuracy and faster response times.
Sanchez envisions that this website will contain a virtual campus tour as well as electronic versions of all catalogs and brochures that will provide instant visuals of the college's campuses and centers as well as access to prospective student materials.
Through this webpage, Sanchez hopes that students will be able to schedule campus tours.
Increasing CAC's Pinal County high school capture rate by five percent is another target area for the recruitment office.
Additionally, CAC's Pinal County high school capture rate has seen a steady increase over the past five years, totaling 29.3 percent in Fall 2010 after seeing a capture rate of 14 percent in 2006.

The best party night of the year?
Forget the contrived, costumed craziness of Halloween.
Skip the forced, "we're all green" camaraderie of St. Patrick's Day.
New Year's Eve? That's strictly for amateurs.
If you ask me, to best night of the year to go out for a few friendly drinks with friends is ... drumroll, please ...
The Wednesday before Thanksgiving has a "homecoming" vibe about it. If you're in college, it's the first time to come home, see the folks and put the high school "band" back together.
Even if you've graduated, Thanksgiving Eve is the perfect night to gather at a familiar hometown watering hole and catch up with people you haven't seen in awhile. Almost nobody works on Thanksgiving. The entire holiday is built around eating and watching TV, both of which can be accomplished (if necessary) with a throbbing hangover.
If you aren't charged with cooking, cleaning, shopping or traveling, I recommend that you capitalize on this wonderful night (responsibly, of course) and offer for your consideration my list of favorite cocktail occasions on the calendar:
1. Thanksgiving Eve. (Reasons stated above).
2. The Sunday before Memorial Day. (It's when summer really takes hold.)
3. The Brewers' home opener. (Everybody in town plays hooky for that one.)
4. Any Badgers home football game.
5. The Sunday before Labor Day. (Especially if it coincides with opening week in the NFL.)
6. The opening hours of Summerfest. (It's great for 11 days, but the first few hours are precious.)
7. My birthday.
8. Your birthday.
9. St. Patrick's Day. (Espeically if it coincides during the NCAA Tournament.)
10. Halloween. (But only if I don't have to wear a costume.)
Use the Talkback feature to add your favorites. And, be sure to designate a driver or call a cab.

Whiskey Wednesday is a great bar night, but let's not get carried away...St. Pat's and New Year's Eve are by far and away better business nights for taverns. Yes they are amateur nights, but even people who normally do not indulge get carried away on these nights. Opening Day is another amateur day where people break laws and rules they would not do on any other day. The best night to go out.....Any night you can get a sitter! And the best 30+ bar with a dance floor...try a gay bar....really! Lot's of women, no competition, an occasional free drink, great music and dancing. Good Luck and Happy Thanksgiving.

Tedddd Not really sure where the 30+ spots are. As I am only 22 in my heart and my actions. Not to mention I try and stay away from clubs. Try local bars around where you live that have an excellent Wednesday special. That is where you will find the people. I prefer the bar near my house that has a $10 AYCD special.

I perfer to get to the edge of a buzz the haul off to the family, where I can start getting that to a full on buzz. I can then sneak off and sleep it off after the dinner and blame it on friends visiting. That way you can also avoid "Aunt Gert's" revolving question of why you haven't found "the right person."

I have gone ever year on that night before Thanksgiving since turning 21....and I think it's actually cooled off in recent years, although the line @ Oakland Gyro's last year after bar close was insane. What hurts is bad weather - and it's supposed to snow. Whether it's more busy than say St Pat's Day or Halloween, I guess would have to ask some bar owners on that one.

VOLUNTEERS from St Margaret's hospice hosted a successful duck race at Maunsel Lock Canal Centre.
The event was held on Saturday and raised £906 for the hospice.
It was the first race of its kind that community fundraising officer Julie Draper had organised, and she said: "I honestly didn't think we would raise so much money. It was absolutely amazing – everyone seemed to be having fun and the volunteers were incredible. There were so many people who helped put it all together – I couldn't have done it without them.
"We are hoping that it will become an annual event."
St Margaret's Hospice would like to thank volunteers Andy Reed for donating a PA system for the event, Bridgwater and Taunton Canal Association and Canoe Somerset.

Collection Overview
Table of contents
The collection documents Latino cultural and entertainment history of recent years. Dan Guerrero's professional life in the world of entertainment as well as his personal family life is represented. It includes video and audio tapes of selected programming, scripts, publicity items and programs relating to the Latino community. There are photographs relative to Mexican American art and culture, transcripts of interviews with various members of the Latino entertainment industry. A significant amount of correspondence, audio tapes, video tapes, color slides and other items concerning his close friend, the late Carlos Almaraz, a veteran Chicano artist are in this collection. Other notable celebrities represented are Vikki Carr, Lorenzo Lamas, Cheech Marin, Ricardo Montalban, Kenny Ortega, Paul Rodriguez, Cesar Romero, Lalo Schifrin, Edward James Olmos and Jimmy Smits. The collection is of inestimable value in the study and understanding of Latino entertainment and the arts in the last decades of the 20th Century.
Dan Guerrero began his eclectic career in New York where he was a successful theatrical agent with clients in countless Broadway musicals and plays. He returned home to Los Angeles for an equally successful time as a casting director for stage and television before turning to producing. He has been widely-acclaimed as a highly creative independent producer of diverse programming for network and cable television in both English and Spanish. At the same time, he has produced, written and directed non-broadcast live events at such prestigious venues as the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C., the Mark Taper Forum in Los Angeles, the House of Blues in West Hollywood and the Cite de la Musique in Paris, France. Guerrero is considered an early pioneer in the U.S. Latino market and has been twice honored by the distinguished Imagen Foundation for bringing positive Latino images to the screen. Hispanic Magazine also recognized him as "one of the 25 most powerful Hispanics in Hollywood." Guerrero began his production career in 1990 at Guber Peters Television as one of the original team that developed the weekly talk/variety program, El Show de Paul Rodriguez. The landmark show aired nationally on Univision and internationally throughout Latin America bringing the biggest U.S. and Latin American stars together in a ground-breaking bilingual format. Guerrero was brought on as head writer and was named co-producer after the first 13 shows and continued in that capacity for the three year run. He eventually headed Paul Rodriguez Productions with two El Show colleagues where the team produced four "docu-comedy" specials for FOX starring the comic actor: Paul Rodriguez: Behind Bars, Crossing Gang Lines, Back to School and Born to Ride. The highly-rated programs were a unique mix of documentary footage of gangs, bikers and multi-cultural issues inter-cut with music and comedy taped at locations from San Quentin prison to the Black Hills of South Dakota and the barrios of East LA and South Central. As a partner in There Goes the Neighborhood Productions, Guerrero produced Loco Slam, a series of half-hour Latino stand-up comedy shows for HBO and co-produced the PBS Kennedy Center Concert of the Americas for Quincy Jones/David Saltzman Entertainment. President Clinton and 34 leaders of Western Hemisphere countries attended the star-driven concert celebrating the Summit of the Americas conference in Miami. The event at the James L. Knight Convention Center boasted the biggest name artists from the U.S., Mexico, Central and South America and the Caribbean. Under his own banner, Guerrero produced the Vida Awards, an NBC nationally-aired special that honored Latinos in education, business, entertainment, sports, science/medicine and the arts. He also produced the CNBC J.D. Power Global Automotive Awards hosted by Tim Allen and taped at the Petersen Automotive Museum in Los Angeles. His multi-faceted career took a new direction in 1999 when he was named Vice President of Talent and Specials for the Telemundo Network under the new Sony ownership, a position especially created for his varied skills. Prior to joining Telemundo for the year on a corporate level, Guerrero was executive producer of their Al Dia con Maria Conchita, a daily talk/variety show hosted by Maria Conchita Alonso. During the same time, he produced and co-wrote the PBS national pledge special, Vikki Carr: Memories/Memorias for KCET. The bilingual concert also featured Arturo Sandoval, Pepe Aguilar and Jack Jones. The critically-acclaimed program included a CD and video release. An earlier bilingual Christmas special produced for Buena Vista International also created a best-selling CD that hit #8 on the Billboard Top 50 Latin Albums chart. Navidad en las Americas was taped at Disneyland and aired on Univision with Ricky Martin, Chayanne, Celia Cruz, Jose Feliciano, and Luis Enrique among the TV guest performers.

Everyone has potential because everyone is made in the image of God.
Most of my life, I have been blessed to have people call out my God-given potential.
Just old enough to drive, I stood in front of our small inner-city congregation one evening and preached a sermon about Peter's redemption. I was preaching a message of redemption, but in reality it was my message that needed saving. I wasn't very good, but our church was very gracious.
My pastor blessed me that evening by giving me an opportunity to see for myself what others had already noticed: I had potential.
In a day when church websites look like advertisements for LED lighting, we often do not provide opportunity for the development of young people. The art of calling out potential is being lost to the mantra of "excellence or bust." Even among the more traditional and established churches there can be a sense that order and discipline do not allow for young leaders to express and develop their gifts. For the sake of gospel advancement, we must adjust our thinking.
On that night many years ago, a poorly scripted sermon became a God-sclupted cornerstone. Brick by brick and sermon by sermon, God has since allowed me to grow into an effective communicator of the gospel. Long before I could see hundreds come to Christ, I had to see that someone believed in me. Potential is one of the most powerful and potent gifts you can give.
Because there is so much power in potential, I am ecstatic that on October 26, 2014, Captivate Church will host "The Preach Off" at our East Baltimore Church location!
This event gives our church the opportunity to pass along that blessing afforded me by the former congregation of Second & Fourth Baptist Church. We will affirm God's work in the lives of three young men from Luzerne Avenue.
The Origin of The Preach Off:
This summer I stepped out of the pulpit for several weeks, and our elders each took a week preaching at Captivate Church. This rotation of speakers gave some of the young men from East Baltimore the idea that they too could preach a sermon. As with most teenage boys, the observation turned into a competition. Two of our GEM Program teens began joking with one another about how great they would be as a preacher. They began giving each other a hard time until I finally intervened and asked, "Do you want to settle this for real?" Intrigued, they leaned in and we discussed the idea of a preaching competition. Soon, a third young man jumped in and our duo became a trio. Stuff was getting real!
Within a few days we decided that we would host a preach off at Captivate Church in East Baltimore!
The Format:
Each teenager selected a mentor. Noodles selected me. Antuane selected Pastor Rob, Pastor of Captivate Church: East Baltimore. Rashard selected Mr. Mo, an Elder at Captivate.
They played Rock Paper Scissors for their preaching order.
Each of the three young men will have 15 minutes.
The students have studied the scriptures, outlined the passages, outlined their messages, considered how to connect with the audience and rehearsed their presentations.
The Scoring:
Everyone in attendance will receive a scoring guide for each presentation, which will list a 1-10 scale for areas such as appearance, delivery, clarity, exegesis and application among others.
The Prizes:
For simply participating, each student is going to have a day of riding dirt bikes out in the country. In addition, we are developing a prize pack for the winner. Finally, the winner will have his picture hung on the wall of our newly renovated church fellowship hall. This is in a prominent place where all of our GEM program students will see it as they come each week for GEM.
The Why:
Our passion is to build a church culture where it is natural to call out the potential we see in each other. In the concrete jungle of the city it is considered normal to be told what you cannot accomplish. We want to provide a venue where people can come and find that, through Christ, they are not limited by their circumstance. Our GEM Program is already producing some great kids. None of our kids are perfect. Their pastor is not perfect. What we all have, however, is potential.
I can't wait to see how God works through these kids on October 26th. We would LOVE for you to join us!
"The Preach Off" | October 26, 2014 | 6:00 p.m. | 400 N. Luzerne Avenue | Baltimore | 21224

A CVS Job Application Can Only Do So MuchBefore you apply, have you asked yourself the following questions;
- Have I conducted any research on the official CVS careers website to learn more about the company?
- Do I have an idea of the type of job that fits my experience or expertise, or if I don't have any experience, does it fit my personality and goals and is it really what I want?
- Have I considered any other options such as applying at different retail stores or an entirely different business altogether?
- Am I prepared and committed to doing more than the average job applicant would do to try to secure a job at CVS?
A CVS job application can only take you so far; it's up to you to do all the legwork to take it as far as you want to go.

Upon further review, former Davenport North swimmer Michael Brus set an NCAA Division III record in the 200 backstroke Sunday in the Midwest Conference swimming championships.
Brus, a junior at Grinnell College, was thought to be short of the NCAA mark but it has been determined that his clocking of 1 minute, 45.94 seconds is an NCAA record. The previous mark of 1:46.01 was set by Dylan Davis of Johns Hopkins last year.

The Nintendo Switch only comes with 32GB of internal memory, but does allow for removable memory in the form of MicroSD cards. SanDisk cards are some of the most common on the market, and a new report claims some users have had their 128GB MicroSD card melted inside the Nintendo Switch.
UPDATE: SanDisk Customer Care provided iDigitalTimes with the following statement: "We have not came through any such issue. We put outmost case in quality and durability of our products. There could be various reasons for card failure and overheating. In most of the cases we have found that there is no fault in the card but the host device. We would not be able to comment on this until we perform a failure analysis of the card."
PVPLive reports instances of the SanDisk 128GB MicroSD card melting when used with the Nintendo Switch. Here's one instance of the MicroSD melting.
I just put my @SanDisk 128GB MicroSD inside the Switch, and it got so hot it melted! Burnt my finger and left my fingerprint on the plastic! pic.twitter.com/s1B0HakkCj
— Sos Sosowski (@Sosowski) March 13, 2017
There have been instances of the SanDisk MicroSD card melting and not working with other electronic devices. This Amazon review alleges similar problems affecting laptops and GoPros. The SanDisk help center actually has a section for damaged SD Cards, but it only refers to SD Cards not working on Android devices, so it doesn't pertain to the Nintendo Switch.
So far only the 128GB SD Card has been reported melting in the Nintendo Switch. The 68GB model of the MicroSD Card was used in the case of the laptop/GoPro incident. It's unclear whether it's just this particular model that could melt in the Switch (online Switch owners believe this instance was caused by using an older version of that particular card) or if the Switch's elevated temperatures while docked are to blame for the SD Card damage.
The Nintendo Switch is compatible with MicroSD cards for up to 2 terabytes of storage, which doesn't exist yet.
We have reached out to SanDisk for comment on the issue and we will update as soon as we hear back.
In the meantime, let us know if this concerns you or if this has happened to your Nintendo Switch in the comments section below.

SENDAI – Sumitomo Mitsui Trust Bank will start a new service that will make it easier for charitable donors to confirm how the money they give is being spent, bank officials said.
Through the service, the core unit of Sumitomo Mitsui Trust Holdings Inc. will encourage the wealthy to donate toward the reconstruction of areas devastated by the March 11, 2011, earthquake and tsunami, the officials said.
The target of the service will be donors who put at least ¥10 million into special donation trusts the bank set up for charitable purposes. The bank will regularly report how their money is being spent, a step designed to make the use of donations clearly "visible," the officials said.
Sumitomo Mitsui Trust Bank's customer base includes a number of wealthy people, many of whom are interested in making large donations to support reconstruction, the officials said. But some remain hesitant, an official said, noting they are unsure whether the donations will be spent wisely.
The bank will significantly broaden the coverage to include various nongovernmental organizations, including those operating in the medical and educational fields as well as in the agricultural, forestry and fisheries industries.

Love the Life You Live3 Secrets to Feeling Good, Deep Down in Your Soul
By Les Parrott and Neil Clark Warren
Tyndale House Publishers, Inc.Copyright © 2003 Les Parrott and Neil Clark Warren
All right reserved.
Chapter One
Life is my university, and I hope to graduate
At a renowned museum in Florence, Italy, you will find four partially finished sculptures. The famed sculptor Michelangelo had intended for each of them to be used on the tomb of Pope Julius. But midway through the project, he decided not to use them and ceased his work. Today anyone traveling to Florence can see the results-a hand protrudes here, a torso of a man there, a leg, a part of a head. None of them are finished.
If you stand in this great hall, looking at these fragmentary figures, you will sense the turmoil, the struggle embodied in these stones. It's as though the figures are crying to break free from their blocks of marble to become what they were intended to be.
Michelangelo called these figures "Captives." Study them for a time, and they are certain to stir up within you a deep longing to be completed yourself. Somehow these figures bring more consciously into your awareness the ache in your own soul to be free from anything that is holding you down and preventing the realization of your full potential. The incomplete figures eerily remind you of your own incompleteness. We know-both of us have stood there in that spot and quietly wondered if we were fully alive.
All of us, as humans, share a universal longing to be complete, to enjoy the fulfillment of realizing our God-given destiny. But like Michelangelo's captive statues, we are often frozen in our efforts to experience who we are really meant to be. We never learn the secrets to chipping away at what holds us back. We never discover the parts of ourselves that are still in captivity. The result? We suffocate our calling and remain imprisoned in the jail cell of unfinished work. We are incomplete-never truly loving the life we live.
You may be single or married, young or old. You may have suffered unthinkable abuse or lived a charmed life. You may have a Ph.D. or be a high-school dropout. Whatever your baggage or background, we know at least one thing about you. Each moment of every day you are either moving away from or toward the person God designed you to be. And as a result, your inner self is either hemmed in and stuck, or it is quietly becoming a work of art. You are either maximizing your moments or allowing them to slip by without notice.
No matter our age, stage, faith, or career, all of us are searching for inner contentment-the kind that comes from being whole and complete. All of us want to love the life we live. This is exactly why we have filled this book with time-tested tools for seizing every moment of every day. We want you to learn the secrets of maximizing a simple moment in time by releasing the positive potential it contains for you and everyone around you. Once you begin to learn the simple skills we are about to teach you, the moments of your day will become consistently more meaningful, more exciting, until you realize you are growing. Thriving. Flourishing. You are becoming healthier, more complete. You are unlocking parts of yourself you didn't know you had. You are freeing yourself and your relationships to be fully alive.
Since you are reading this book, we know that something within you has been stirred to move more intentionally toward health and wholeness. And we are going to do everything we can to help you experience it deeply and consistently. We are convinced that it is only when you achieve a deep level of emotional and spiritual health that you can find enduring inner peace and long-lasting joy. If you want to feel good, deep down in your soul, you've got to get yourself solidly healthy.
When you achieve the level of health and wholeness we've been describing, you will begin to feel unusually good about yourself. Not the kind of good that is self-centered, but the kind of good that makes a positive, generous, caring human being out of you. Not only will you feel good, but you will be good. You'll catch yourself expressing all kinds of natural and free-flowing appreciation and love for others. And your newly found health will be so contagious that your whole community of friends and family-even strangers you encounter-will find their lives moving toward personal joy and self-giving love.
Goodness comes out of a solidly healthy inner place-and then it pours out of you in all directions. In the process of discovering new levels of personal effectiveness and fulfillment, you will inspire others to find those same new levels for themselves. As you learn to live serenely, above the grit of the daily grind, you will become committed to making this possible for every person you know. As you develop the skill of making wise decisions that define your life for the better, you will discover an inner passion to help others enjoy the same powerful and life-changing process. As you shake off your hurry-sickness and live in the now, being fully present for yourself and those around you, you will see the same thing beginning to happen for your dearest friends and family members. In short, as you love the life you live, this whole wonderful phenomenon will spread across the struggling society of eager human beings who make up your personal world.
If this is what you want for your life-a positive transformation of you and your relationships-here's the good news: You can have it! This is exactly the kind of life you can live. At the risk of sounding like two slaphappy psychologists who are seemingly out of touch with the arduous work traditionally required for authentic wholeness, living the life you long for may be less complicated than you think.
We believe you can reach your most cherished goals for loving this life by following a relatively simple path.
An easy path? Not always. But simple nonetheless.
How can two veteran psychologists who have spent their professional lives in the hallowed halls of academia and in the clinical offices of mental-health centers make such a bold and seemingly naive claim? Because we believe wholeheartedly that all the answers to life's most challenging questions are available in ancient, time-tested principles-and our confidence in these truths is bolstered by new and powerful research in the social sciences. A contemporary generation of researchers with a fresh perspective in the sciences has shifted psychology's primary analyses of misery to an understanding of wellness. Psychology used to think it was critical to focus on-and then eliminate-negative emotions. Now we know there is a better way.
The new research reveals that you can't be happy simply because you aren't encumbered by depression, stress, or anxiety. No-you can't be happy without being healthy. And there's a lot more to health than not being sick. Emotional health is more than the absence of dysfunctional emotions. Emotional health is at the center of a life you can love living.
You'll never be content in your career, at least not for long, if you're not emotionally fit. You can't enjoy being single until you like being you. You can't have a winning marriage if you are psychologically stuck. You can't be a good parent until you understand -and appreciate-who you are. You can't be well-adjusted if you're constantly comparing yourself to others or equating what you do with who you are. And you can't look into the face of death until you optimize your spiritual health.
It is nearly impossible to exaggerate the profound impact getting healthy and whole has on every aspect of your life. So it is certainly no exaggeration to say you will never, ever love the life you live until you become profoundly new and reborn emotionally, mentally, and spiritually at your very core.
The professional community knows more today about how to live a fulfilled life, no matter what your circumstances, than ever before. That's why we felt compelled to write this book. As psychologists specializing in relationships, we have seen more than 5,000 people in therapy. We have spoken to more than 300,000 people in seminars and appeared on several thousand radio and television talk shows. And we've written more than a dozen books-all in an effort to help people improve their lives and relationships. We are passionate about helping you do this too. But rather than give you tips and techniques (for improving communication, understanding gender differences, and all the rest), we've learned that until you get yourself healthy, the tips and techniques are superficial. They eventually fall flat. Why? Because your relationships can only be as healthy as the least healthy person in them. For this very reason, we believe the most important goal you can ever accomplish is getting yourself healthy.
"Your life is like a coin," said writer Lillian Dickenson. "You can spend it any way you like, but you can spend it only once." The question is, how are you going to spend your capital? It is a question we have explored personally and thoroughly while writing this book, and because you are reading it, we know you want to make the very best investment you can. So in the next chapter, you will discover our plan for helping you become healthy and whole.

The Highly Selective Thesaurus for the Extraordinarily Literate (edition 1994)
by Eugene H. Ehrlich
Work details
The Highly Selective Thesaurus for the Extraordinarily Literate by Eugene H. Ehrlich
No current Talk conversations about this book.
In this era of the internet and Google, one wonders why there would be a need for reference books in print (aside from times of the occasional power outage). But internet sites aren't always comprehensive or "extraordinarily literate." In the case of online thesauri, I tend to rely on thesaurus.com. But I check this book as well, because it often has very useful entries not provided on that website. For instance, take the noun "official" meaning "administrator" or "dignitary." This book has terrific synonyms you won't find at thesaurus.com, such as bashaw, chamberlain, chiaus, Dogberry, Junker, Master of the Revels, Pooh Bah, waldgrave, and so on. For "medicine man," thesaurus.com has some the book doesn't, like mundunugu and wangateur, but the book has some the website omits, such as angakok, curandero, and kahuna.
For common words like "interesting," this book only provides a few synonyms, and you are better off with the web. But for even slightly less common words (like "banker") and phrases (like "New Testament Books"), this book is still an excellent resource, and includes literary and foreign references not readily provided online.
A gift from my mom.
Somehow it seems like this book should be longer and contain more words--my same complaint about almost all thesauri--oh well it is what it is, and i do use it

Amazon.com Amazon.com Review (ISBN 0062700162, Hardcover)If you're serious about writing and speaking language that crackles with delightful and obscure words, then you must have this book. As indicated by the title, it is a selective thesaurus containing 50,000 words and phrases, focusing on the more arcane or colorful choices. The main weakness is lack of cross-referencing, but it is nonetheless a superlative supplement to standard thesauri or synonym dictionaries.

The name of debut novelist Vawter's 11-year-old protagonist, Vincent Vollmer III, doesn't appear until the very end of this tense, memorable story—Vincent's stutter prevents him from pronouncing it. Vincent is an excellent listener and a keen observer, and the summer of 1959 presents him with the challenge of taking over a friend's paper route in segregated Memphis. He engages with several neighborhood customers and characters while on the job, gaining new awareness of varied adult worlds, racial tension, and inequality, as well as getting into some dangerous situations. Vawter draws from his own childhood experience at a time "when modern speech therapy techniques were in their infancy," he writes in an endnote, calling the story "more memoir than fiction." The story unfolds as Vincent's typewritten account of the summer, and inventive syntax is used throughout. Commas and quotation marks are verboten—Vincent isn't a fan of the former, since he has enough extra pauses in his life already—and extra spaces appear between paragraphs, all subtly highlighting his uneasy relationship with the spoken word. Ages 10–up. Agent: Anna Olswanger, Liza Dawson Associates. (May)

lone pair
In the molecule of a compound, a lone pair is two unbonded electrons associated with one of the component atoms. For example, the nitrogen atom in ammonia (NH3) and the carbon atom in carbon monoxide (CO) each have a lone pair of electrons. These electrons can form bonds in coordination compounds, in which their molecules act as ligands.

Baghdad (AFP) Nov 28, 2013
American energy giant Exxon Mobil on Thursday sold part of its controversial stake in a massive Iraqi oilfield to PetroChina and Indonesia's Pertamina amid a long-running row with Baghdad.
The sale of the stake in the West Qurna-1 field in south Iraq, one of the country's largest, marks a key step towards resolving the dispute with the central government over Exxon's contracts with the autonomous Kurdish region.
"The agreement was signed for Exxon Mobil to sell part of its 60 percent stake," oil ministry spokesman Assem Jihad told AFP.
"Representatives of all the companies signed the deal today with the Iraqi government in the ministry."
PetroChina takes a 25 percent stake in the oilfield, while Pertamina will hold 10 percent, thereby reducing Exxon's share to 25 percent.
Anglo-Dutch giant Shell will retain its 15 percent stake, while the Iraqi government holds the remaining 25 percent.
Asked whether the sale resolved the dispute between Baghdad and Exxon, Jihad replied: "We do not have problems with international companies who respect their promises to the Iraqi government, and we respect all efforts towards investing in the oil industry in Iraq."
In January 2010, Iraq completed a deal with Exxon and Anglo-Dutch giant Shell to develop production at the field, which has proven reserves of 8.5 billion barrels of oil.
In October 2011, however, Exxon signed an oil exploration deal with the Kurdistan region in northern Iraq covering six areas, including two that are claimed by both Baghdad and Kurdistan.
The Kurdish deal infuriated Baghdad, which says all oil contracts must go through the central government and regards any that do not do so as illegal.
Iraq has repeatedly given an ultimatum to Exxon to either sell its stake in West Qurna-1 or give up its Kurdish deals, but has never set a deadline or outlined any potential consequences.
The American energy firm nevertheless told Baghdad a year ago that it was looking to sell its stake.
Iraq is heavily reliant on oil production for state revenues, and is looking to dramatically ramp up crude output in the coming years to fund much-needed reconstruction of its conflict-battered economy.
The Exxon dispute is one of several between Baghdad and the Kurdish region -- the central government also regards other contracts signed by the Kurds to be illegal because they were not approved by the federal ministry.
The two sides also disagree over claims to a swathe of territory stretching between Iraq's eastern and western borders, as well as the apportioning of federal oil revenues.

During the past 150 years, scientists and physicians first discovered that germs, bacteria and viruses caused disease, then found agents that could destroy, thwart and obstruct the pathogens. Disease and its treatments were the topic this winter of a five-part public lecture series sponsored by the Office of Postgraduate and Continuing Medical Education. This year's series was titled What's In Your Medicine Cabinet?
"The past few decades have seen remarkable advances in pharmacology and the management of a large number of common diseases," said James D. Kenney, M.D., associate dean for postgraduate and continuing medical education and the course organizer. "The effectiveness of frequently prescribed drugs, as well as their costs and interactions, are matters of public concern." The Patrick and Catherine Weldon Donaghue Medical Research Foundation, based in Hartford, Conn., provided support for the series, which attracted 44 people from New Haven and surrounding towns.
While scientists today explore the genetic and molecular underpinnings of disease and treatment, early chemists and physicians found medications in unlikely sources. Toxic waste generated in the manufacture of coke yielded synthetic indigo, from which German chemists derived sulfa drugs that stymie the production of bacterial DNA. Arsenic, a heavy metal, became a remedy for syphilis. Scientists developed gramicidin as they exploited bacteria found in soil to control other bacteria.
Speakers for the lecture series included Frank J. Bia, M.D., professor of medicine (infectious diseases), who discussed How We Pick and Choose Antibiotics; Silvio E. Inzucchi, M.D., assistant professor of medicine, Diabetes Treatment in 1998: Something Old, Something New; Karl L. Insogna, M.D., associate professor of medicine, Osteoporosis and Paget's Disease of the Bone; John F. Setaro, M.D., associate professor of medicine, The Management of Hypertension; and Elena Citkowitz, M.D., assistant clinical professor of medicine, Treatment of Cholesterol and other Lipid Disorders.
