Two halal meat options, a burger or hotdog, are now being offered at the Union Market as of Jan. 28.
"Our goal is to make (halal food) available as much as possible," said Zia Ahmed, senior director of Campus Dining Services at Ohio State.
Halal meat is meat that Muslims are permitted to eat according to Islamic dietary guidelines and the Quran. "Halal" means "lawful" in Arabic. The meat, which can never be pork, must be slaughtered in a certain way and in the name of Allah.
Some Muslim students at OSU opted out of eating meat on campus because of the lack of any certified halal meat through dining services.
"As a freshman with a meal plan, I could not eat meat. I had no choice but to eat a vegetarian diet. Many Muslim freshmen, limited to meal plans, do not eat meat on campus," said Maria Ahmad, president of OSU's Muslim Students' Association and a third-year in speech and hearing sciences.
Students unable to eat meat on campus were the main inspiration behind Ahmad's campaign platform in Spring 2010 to bring halal foods to OSU.
Ahmad caught wind of Food Service Express' media outreach via webinars and speeches at conferences that advised students on ways to approach campus administrators about providing halal options.
Don Tymchuck, president of HalalHealthy.com and Med-Diet, a parent company of Food Service Express, spoke at the Muslim Students' Association Conference on Jan. 30 at the Ohio Union.
"Students must create the demand. Campus Dining Services will not provide alternative dining options unless that demand is expressed," Tymchuck said. "It is my goal to prime the pump by guiding students."
After reading a packet on Tymchuck's steps for addressing campus administration, Ahmad contacted Ahmed in Autumn 2010.
"I came from the University of Akron four months ago and my goal is to refocus commitment to student feedback, to address all backgrounds: religious, cultural, and even dietetic needs," Ahmed said. "We've met with students from the USG, BSA (Black Student Association) and graduate societies."
Campus Dining Services is not just waiting for requests; it is also focusing on reaching out to students.
"We are reaching out and soliciting information. But we would never arbitrarily place a product out there … it would not make sense to introduce a product no one wants," Ahmed said.
Tymchuck said there is a niche for halal.
"Halal has a market. Nearly half of the colleges we surveyed had 100 or more Muslim students; however, only 6 percent had halal meal plans," Tymchuck said.
Ahmad said it took three meetings with the Undergraduate Student Government's Diversity Committee supporting the Muslim Students' Association and one meeting with the Muslim Students' Association representing itself to convince Dining Services that halal should be offered.
Ahmed said Campus Dining Services took its time sorting out the logistics of offering halal. Ahmad said it is difficult to provide food that meets religious guidelines. It took two weeks for dining services to get halal meat on the Union Market grill.
"It is important to do something the right way. You can imagine how terrible it would be if we called something halal or kosher and it was discovered not to be," she said.
Food supplier Restaurant Depot now provides meat that is halal-certified to Campus Dining Services. The issues of contaminating halal were also addressed. Halal meat ceases to be halal if contaminated by haram foods — "haram" means "forbidden" in Arabic.
Ahmed said measures were taken to educate chefs about halal and that one side of the grill is used specially to cook halal burgers or halal hot dogs.
"The University will probably see if students respond well to halal. They should; it's a big deal," said Ahmad. "Students want dining to be a home away from home."

Meningococcal Vaccines: What you need to know in 2017
1. What is meningococcal disease?
Meningococcal disease is a serious illness, caused by a bacteria. It is a leading cause of bacterial meningitis in children 2 through 18 years old in the United States.
Meningitis is an infection of fluid surrounding the brain and the spinal cord. Meningococcal disease also causes blood infections.
About 2,600 people get meningococcal disease each year in the U.S. 10 to 5 percent of these people die, in spite of treatment with antibiotics. Of those who live, another 11 to19 percent lose their arms or legs, become deaf, have problems with their nervous systems, become mentally retarded, or suffer seizures or strokes.
Anyone can get meningococcal disease. But it is most common in infants less than one year of age and people with certain medical conditions, such as lack of a spleen. College freshmen who live in dormitories have an increased risk of getting meningococcal disease.
Meningococcal infections can be treated with drugs such as penicillin. Still, about 1 out of every ten people who get the disease dies from it, and many others are affected for life. This is why preventing the disease through use of meningococcal vaccine is important for people at highest risk.
2. Meningococcal vaccine
Two meningococcal vaccines are available in the U.S.:
Meningococcal polysaccharide vaccine (M.P.S.V.4) has been available since the 1970s.
Meningococcal conjugate vaccine (M.C.V.4) was licensed in 2005.
Both vaccines can prevent 4 types of meningococcal disease, including 2 of the 3 types most common in the United States and a type that causes epidemics in Africa. Meningococcal vaccines cannot prevent all types of the disease. But they do protect many people who might become sick if they didn't get the vaccine.
Both vaccines work well, and protect about 90 percent of those who get it. M.C.V.4 is expected to give better, longer-lasting protection.
M.C.V.4 should also be better at preventing the disease from spreading from person to person.
3. Who should get meningococcal vaccine and when?
M.C.V.4 is recommended for all children and adolescents 11 through 18 years of age.
This dose is normally given during the routine preadolescent immunization visit (at 11 to 12 years of age). But those who did not get the vaccine during this visit should get it at the earliest opportunity.
Meningococcal vaccine is also recommended for other people at increased risk for meningococcal disease:
College freshmen living in dormitories.
Microbiologists who are routinely exposed to meningococcal bacteria.
U.S. military recruits.
Anyone traveling to, or living in, a part of the world where meningococcal disease is common, such as parts of Africa.
Anyone who has a damaged spleen, or whose spleen has been removed.
Anyone who has terminal complement component deficiency (an immune system disorder).
People who might have been exposed to meningitis during an outbreak.
M.C.V.4 is the preferred vaccine for people 11 to 55 years of age in these risk groups, but M.P.S.V.4 can be used if M.C.V.4 is not available. M.P.S.V.4 should be used for children 2 to 10 years old, and adults over 55, who are at risk.
How Many Doses?
People 2 years of age and older should get 1 dose. (Sometimes an additional dose is recommended for people who remain at high risk. Ask your provider.)
M.P.S.V.4 may be recommended for children 3 months to 2 years of age under special circumstances. These children should get 2 doses, 3 months apart.
4. Some people should not get meningococcal vaccine or should wait.
Anyone who has ever had a severe (life-threatening) allergic reaction to a previous dose of either meningococcal vaccine should not get another dose.
Anyone who has a severe (life threatening) allergy to any vaccine component should not get the vaccine. Tell your doctor if you have any severe allergies.
Anyone who is moderately or severely ill at the time the shot is scheduled should probably wait until they recover. Ask your doctor or nurse. People with a mild illness can usually get the vaccine.
Anyone who has ever had Guillain-Barré Syndrome should talk with their doctor before getting M.C.V. 4.
Meningococcal vaccines may be given to pregnant women. However, M.C.V.4 is a new vaccine and has not been studied in pregnant women as much as M.P.S.V.4 has. It should be used only if clearly needed.
Meningococcal vaccines may be given at the same time as other vaccines.
5. What are the risks from meningococcal vaccine?
A vaccine, like any medicine, could possibly cause serious problems, such as severe allergic reactions. The risk of meningococcal vaccine causing serious harm, or death, is extremely small.
Mild problems
Up to about half of people who get meningococcal vaccines have mild side effects, such as redness or pain where the shot was given.
If these problems occur, they usually last for 1 or 2 days. They are more common after M.C.V.4 than after M.P.S.V.4.
A small percentage of people who receive the vaccine develop a fever.
Severe problems
Serious allergic reactions, within a few minutes to a few hours of the shot, are very rare.
A serious nervous system disorder called Guillain-Barré Syndrome (or G.B.S.) has been reported among some people who received M.C.V.
6. This happens so rarely that it is currently not possible to tell if the vaccine might be a factor. Even if it is, the risk is very small.
7. What if there is a moderate or severe reaction?
What should I look for?
Any unusual condition, such as a high fever or behavior changes. Signs of a serious allergic reaction can include difficulty breathing, hoarseness or wheezing, hives, paleness, weakness, a fast heart beat or dizziness.
What should I do?
Call a doctor, or get the person to a doctor right away.
Tell your doctor what happened, the date and time it happened, and when the vaccination was given.
Ask your doctor, nurse, or health department to report the reaction by filing a Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) form.
Or you can file this report through the VAERS web site at w.w.w. dot vaers dot h.h.s. dot g.o.v., or by calling 1-800-822-7967.
VAERS does not provide medical advice.

Music Aids in Studying, Concentration, Retention and Retrieval of Information
Research has shown that music aids in absorption, retention and retrieval of information.
Try playing classical music as background music while your child when he is studying or doing home work. It helps him to concentrate, focus and memorize facts easier.
At home, we play smoothing music in the background when our daughter (41/2 year old at point of writing) when she is doing mental work like maths and puzzles. She perform a lot better as compared to the time when no music is played.
Also, I played music for our 8-month-old son when he cried or get irritated for no reason. The moment when the music is played, he calmed down immediately and even tapped his hands and feet. Music really has a powerful effect on human brain.
Below is a list of music that I highly recommend to parents:

Reversible protein O-GlcNAc modification has emerged as an essential intracellular signaling system in several tissues, including cardiovascular pathophysiology related to diabetes and acute ischemic stress. We tested the hypothesis that cardiac O-GlcNAc signaling is altered in chronic cardiac hypertrophy and failure of different etiologies. Global protein O-GlcNAcylation and the main enzymes regulating O-GlcNAc, O-GlcNAc transferase (OGT), O-GlcNAcase (OGA), and glutamine-fructose-6-phosphate amidotransferase (GFAT) were measured by immunoblot and/or real-time RT-PCR analyses of left ventricular tissue from aortic stenosis (AS) patients and rat models of hypertension, myocardial infarction (MI), and aortic banding (AB), with and without failure. We show here that global O-GlcNAcylation was increased by 65% in AS patients, by 47% in hypertensive rats, by 81 and 58% post-AB, and 37 and 60% post-MI in hypertrophic and failing hearts, respectively (P < 0.05). Noticeably, protein O-GlcNAcylation patterns varied in hypertrophic vs. failing hearts, and the most extensive O-GlcNAcylation was observed on proteins of 20-100 kDa in size. OGT, OGA, and GFAT2 protein and/or mRNA levels were increased by pressure overload, while neither was regulated by myocardial infarction. Pharmacological inhibition of OGA decreased cardiac contractility in post-MI failing hearts, demonstrating a possible role of O-GlcNAcylation in development of chronic cardiac dysfunction. Our data support the novel concept that O-GlcNAc signaling is altered in various etiologies of cardiac hypertrophy and failure, including human aortic stenosis. This not only provides an exciting basis for discovery of new mechanisms underlying pathological cardiac remodeling but also implies protein O-GlcNAcylation as a possible new therapeutic target in heart failure. © 2012 the American Physiological Society.

Magnetic Resonance in Medicine | Year: 2013
Phase-contrast MRI (PC-MRI) velocimetry is a noninvasive, high-resolution motion assessment tool. However, high motion sensitivity requires strong motion-encoding magnetic gradients, making phase-contrast-MRI prone to baseline shift artifacts due to the generation of eddy currents. In this study, we propose a novel nine-point balanced velocity-encoding strategy, designed to be more accurate in the presence of strong and rapidly changing gradients. The proposed method was validated using a rotating phantom, and its robustness and precision were explored and compared with established approaches through computer simulations and in vivo experiments. Computer simulations yielded a 39-57% improvement in velocity-noise ratio (corresponding to a 27-33% reduction in measurement error), depending on which method was used for comparison. Moreover, in vivo experiments confirmed this by demonstrating a 26-53% reduction in accumulated velocity error over the R-R interval. The nine-point balanced phase-contrast-MRI-encoding strategy is likely useful for settings where high spatial and temporal resolution and/or high motion sensitivity is required, such as in high-resolution rodent myocardial tissue phase mapping.

This investigation explores the cardiac four-chamber remodeling response to training in male players in Norwegian professional football league, and ethnicity as determinants in the development of athlete's heart. Standard 2D echocardiographic examination and analysis of all four cavities were performed in 504 football players of Caucasian origin, 49 of African origin, and 47 matched Caucasian controls (<3h training /week). All results were indexed to body surface area (BSA). Most athletes exhibited BSA-indexed values within normal ranges. Left ventricle (LV) mass was equally enlarged in both groups of athletes, but LV relative wall thickness and right ventricular (RV) relative wall thickness were increased in Africans compared with Caucasian athletes (0.37±0.06 vs 0.33±0.06 and 0.25±0.06 vs 0.22±0.04, respectively). Both LV and RV were smaller in Africans than in Caucasian athletes (67.8±12.0ml/m2 vs 73.6±13.2ml/m2 and 12.8±2.1 vs 13.7±2.4cm2/m2, respectively, both P<0.05), while left and right atria increased similarly. This first large-scale echocardiographic survey of elite football players in a Scandinavian league suggests use of BSA-indexed upper normal limits for both LV and RV in athletes. African athletes had significantly more concentric remodeled LV and RV than the Caucasian athletes. © 2014 John Wiley & Sons A/S. Published by John Wiley & Sons Ltd.

Background: Phase contrast velocimetry cardiovascular magnetic resonance (PC-CMR) is a powerful and versatile tool allowing assessment of in vivo motion of the myocardium. However, PC-CMR is sensitive to motion related artifacts causing errors that are geometrically systematic, rendering regional analysis of myocardial function challenging. The objective of this study was to establish an optimized PC-CMR method able to provide novel insight in the complex regional motion and strain of the rodent myocardium, and provide a proof-of-concept in normal and diseased rat hearts with higher temporal and spatial resolution than previously reported. Methods. A PC-CMR protocol optimized for assessing the motion and deformation of the myocardium in rats with high spatiotemporal resolution was established, and ten animals with different degree of cardiac dysfunction underwent examination and served as proof-of-concept. Global and regional myocardial velocities and circumferential strain were calculated, and the results were compared to five control animals. Furthermore, the global strain measurements were validated against speckle-tracking echocardiography, and inter- and intrastudy variability of the protocol were evaluated. Results: The presented method allows assessment of regional myocardial function in rats with high level of detail; temporal resolution was 3.2 ms, and analysis was done using 32 circumferential segments. In the dysfunctional hearts, global and regional function were distinctly altered, including reduced global peak values, increased regional heterogeneity and increased index of dyssynchrony. Strain derived from the PC-CMR data was in excellent agreement with echocardiography (r = 0.95, p < 0.001; limits-of-agreement -0.02 ± 3.92%strain), and intra- and interstudy variability were low for both velocity and strain (limits-of-agreement, radial motion: 0.01 ± 0.32 cm/s and -0.06 ± 0.75 cm/s; circumferential strain: -0.16 ± 0.89%strain and -0.71 ± 1.67%strain, for intra- and interstudy, respectively). Conclusion: We demonstrate, for the first time, that PC-CMR enables high-resolution evaluation of in vivo circumferential strain in addition to myocardial motion of the rat heart. In combination with the superior geometric robustness of CMR, this ultimately provides a tool for longitudinal studies of regional function in rodents with high level of detail. © 2013 Espe et al.; licensee BioMed Central Ltd.

The excitation-contraction coupling (EC-coupling) links membrane depolarization with contraction in cardiomyocytes. Ca2+ induced opening of ryanodine receptors (RyRs) leads to Ca2+ induced Ca2+ release (CICR) from the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) into the dyadic cleft between the t-tubules and SR. Ca2+ is removed from the cytosol by the SR Ca2+ ATPase (SERCA2) and the Na,Ca-exchanger (NCX). The NCX connects cardiac Ca2+ and Na+-transport, leading to Na+-dependent regulation of EC-coupling by several mechanisms of which some still lack firm experimental evidence. Firstly, NCX might contribute to CICR during an action potential (AP) as Na+-accumulation at the intracellular site together with depolarization will trigger reverse mode exchange bringing Ca2+ into the dyadic cleft. The controversial issue is the nature of the compartment in which Na+ accumulates. It seems not to be the bulk cytosol, but is it part of a widespread subsarcolemmal space, a localized microdomain ("fuzzy space"), or as we propose, a more localized "spot" to which only a few membrane proteins have shared access (nanodomains)? Also, there seems to be spots where the Na,K-pump (NKA) will cause local Na+ depletion. Secondly, Na+ determines the rate of cytosolic Ca2+ removal and SR Ca2+ load by regulating the SERCA2/NCX-balance during the decay of the Ca2+ transient. The aim of this review is to describe available data and current concepts of Na+-mediated regulation of cardiac EC-coupling, with special focus on subcellular microdomains and the potential roles of Na+ transport proteins in regulating CICR and Ca2+ extrusion in cardiomyocytes. We propose that voltage gated Na+ channels, NCX and the NKA α2-isoform all regulate cardiac EC-coupling through control of the "Na+ concentration in specific subcellular nanodomains in cardiomyocytes.

Key points: Hypokalaemia is a risk factor for development of ventricular arrhythmias. In rat ventricular myocytes, low extracellular K+ (corresponding to clinical moderate hypokalaemia) increased Ca2+ wave probability, Ca2+ transient amplitude, sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) Ca2+ load and induced SR Ca2+ leak. Low extracellular K+ reduced Na+,K+-ATPase (NKA) activity and hyperpolarized the resting membrane potential in ventricular myocytes. Both experimental data and modelling indicate that reduced NKA activity and subsequent Na+ accumulation sensed by the Na+, Ca2+ exchanger (NCX) lead to increased Ca2+ transient amplitude despite concomitant hyperpolarization of the resting membrane potential. Low extracellular K+ induced Ca2+ overload by lowering NKA α2 activity. Triggered ventricular arrhythmias in patients with hypokalaemia may therefore be attributed to reduced NCX forward mode activity linked to an effect on the NKA α2 isoform. Hypokalaemia is a risk factor for development of ventricular arrhythmias. The aim of this study was to determine the cellular mechanisms leading to triggering of arrhythmias in ventricular myocytes exposed to low Ko. Low Ko, corresponding to moderate hypokalaemia, increased Ca2+ transient amplitude, sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) Ca2+ load, SR Ca2+ leak and Ca2+ wave probability in field stimulated rat ventricular myocytes. The mechanisms leading to Ca2+ overload were examined. Low Ko reduced Na+,K+-ATPase (NKA) currents, increased cytosolic Na+ concentration and increased the Na+ level sensed by the Na+, Ca2+ exchanger (NCX). Low Ko also hyperpolarized the resting membrane potential (RMP) without significant alterations in action potential duration. Experiments in voltage clamped and field stimulated ventricular myocytes, along with mathematical modelling, suggested that low Ko increases the Ca2+ transient amplitude by reducing NKA activity despite hyperpolarization of the RMP. Selective inhibition of the NKA α2 isoform by low dose ouabain abolished the ability of low Ko to reduce NKA currents, to increase Na+ levels sensed by NCX and to increase the Ca2+ transient amplitude. We conclude that low Ko, within the range of moderate hypokalaemia, increases Ca2+ levels in ventricular myocytes by reducing the pumping rate of the NKA α2 isoform with subsequent Na+ accumulation sensed by the NCX. These data highlight reduced NKA α2-mediated control of NCX activity as a possible mechanism underlying triggered ventricular arrhythmias in patients with hypokalaemia. © 2014 The Physiological Society.

Beta-adrenergic receptor (βAR) inotropic effects are attenuated and muscarinic receptor-mediated inhibition thereof is enhanced in heart failure. We investigated if increased Gi activity contributes to attenuated βAR-inotropic effects and potentiates muscarinic accentuated antagonism in failing rat ventricle. Contractility was measured in ventricular strips and adenylyl cyclase (AC) activity in ventricular membranes from rats with post-infarction heart failure (HF) or Sham-operated controls (Sham). The maximal βAR-mediated inotropic effect of isoproterenol was reduced by ~70% and basal, βAR- & forskolin-stimulated AC activity was significantly lower in HF vs. Sham. Carbachol-evoked antagonism of the βAR-mediated inotropic response was complete only in HF despite a ~40% reduction in the ability of carbachol to inhibit βAR-stimulated AC. However, neither the relative efficacy (contractility decreased by ~46%) nor the potency of carbachol to inhibit the βAR inotropic response differed between Sham and HF ventricle. Pertussis toxin (PTX) inactivation of Gi did not increase the maximal βAR inotropic effect or the attenuated basal, βAR- & forskolin-stimulated AC activity in HF, but increased the potency of isoproterenol only in Sham (~0.5 log unit). In HF ventricle pretreated with PTX, simultaneous inhibition of phosphodiesterases 3,4 (PDE3,4) alone produced a larger inotropic response than isoproterenol in ventricle untreated with PTX (84% and 48% above basal respectively). In the absence of PTX, PDE3,4 inhibition evoked negligible inotropic effects in HF. These data are not consistent with the hypothesis that increased Gi activity contributes to the reduced βAR-mediated inotropic response and AC activity in failing ventricle. The data, however, support the hypothesis that Gi, through chronic receptor independent inhibition of AC, together with PDE3,4 activity, is necessary to maintain a low basal level of contractility. © 2012 Elsevier Ltd.

Polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins/dibenzofurans (dioxins) and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) are persistent organic pollutants (POPs) with potentially adverse impact on child neurodevelopment. Whether the potential detrimental effects of dioxins and PCBs on neurodevelopment are of specific or unspecific character is not clear.The purpose of the current study was to examine the influence of maternal dietary exposure to dioxins and PCBs on ADHD symptoms and cognitive functioning in preschoolers. We aimed to investigate a range of functions, in particular IQ, expressive language, and executive functions.This study includes n=1024 children enrolled in a longitudinal prospective study of ADHD (the ADHD Study), with participants recruited from The Norwegian Mother and Child Cohort Study (MoBa). Boys and girls aged 3.5years participated in extensive clinical assessments using well-validated tools; The Preschool Age Psychiatric Assessment interview (PAPA), Stanford-Binet 5th revision (SB-5), Child Development Inventory (CDI), and Behavior Rating Inventory of Executive Function, Preschool version (BRIEF-P). Maternal dietary exposure to dioxins and PCBs was estimated based on a validated food frequency questionnaire (FFQ) answered mid-pregnancy and a database of dioxin and PCB concentrations in Norwegian foods. Exposure to dioxins and dioxin-like PCBs (dl-compounds) was expressed in total toxic equivalents (TEQ), and PCB-153 was used as marker for non-dioxin-like PCBs (ndl-PCBs). Generalized linear and additive models adjusted for confounders were used to examine exposure-outcome associations.Exposure to PCB-153 or dl-compound was not significantly associated with any of the outcome measures when analyses were performed for boys and girls together. After stratifying by sex, adjusted analyses indicated a small inverse association with language in girls. An increase in the exposure variables of 1 SD was associated with a reduction in language score of -0.2 [CI -0.4, -0.1] for PCB-153 and -0.2 [CI -0.5, -0.1] for dl-compounds in girls. For boys, exposure to PCB-153 or dl-compounds was not associated with language skills. The difference between sex-specific associations was not statistically significant (p-value=0.13). No sex-specific effects were observed for ADHD-symptoms, IQ scores, or executive functions.We found no indications that variation in current low-level exposure to PCB-153 or dl-compounds in Norway is associated with variation ADHD-symptoms, verbal/non-verbal IQ, or executive functions including working memory in preschoolers. However, our findings indicated that maternal dietary exposure to PCB-153 or dl-compounds during pregnancy was significantly associated with poorer expressive language skills in preschool girls, although the sex-specific associations were not significantly different.

Time for a few more things that are too short for a post on their own, but too long for a Facebook status!
At what age, if any, is it too old to have crushes? Seriously, is there a point that it turns from 'Awww...that's so cute!' to 'EEEEEEWWWWW....creepy!'? Does it make it worse that the person knows it's a crush? Pre-teens and teens by and large don't know the difference, that's what makes it sooooo cute. I get that a 60 year old man crushing on a 21 year old is creepy in the extreme, but what about the gray areas? These are the things that come to my mind as I'm coming off of a caffeine fueled Epiphany...
Ladies...What is the big deal with the 'bad boys'? I'm not talking about the barflies that act all big and bad, I mean the true bad guys. The guys with a rap sheet that goes from Green Bay to Milwaukee. Maybe it's a difference in the sexes, but in reverse, I wouldn't find a gal with multiple felonies and who was just released from prison attractive, no matter what they looked like on the outside. I just don't get it. The incident in the Milwaukee freeway recently brought this one to mind. When given the choice, the gal stayed with the felon. Am I missing something?
As much as it pains me to say it, I have officially gone over the line from huge fan to fanboy. It's not something that I want to admit. I have spent my entire adult life trying desperately to avoid becoming the 'OMGOMGOMGOMG' kind of fan of anything. Yes, I have deep respect and admiration for many different people from all walks of life (writers, musicians, sports players, etc), but it has always been in a respectful way. I came to the realization last night that there is now one person that, if I ever got the chance to meet, would turn me into a blubbering pile of fanboy goo...The conscious part of my brain was a little surprised by the subject of said fanboydom, but the subconscious apparently always knew. Oh well...time to go over to the dark side.
edit: After a bit of a reflection, it has come to my attention that if you look at my electronic presence, you might get a hint at the person who is discussed above...

Further, Catholic school students in Chicago also scored above national norms in science and social studies:
Our goal is to provide your child with the best education possible. Pope John Paul II Catholic School offers students a quality education. Our Curriculum encompasses many high level standards including the Common Core Standards, and the curriculum guidelines from the Archdiocese of Chicago. These standards are in accordance with State of Illinois and incorporate a religious aspect. Follow the links below to take a look at our curriculum:
Common Core Standards
Archdiocese of Chicago Curriculum
Pope John Paul II Catholic School feels that fine arts are also an essential part of learning. Classes attend Physical Education, Music, and Technology Classes once or twice a week depending on their grade level. Students also do art in the classrooms.
We offer special assistance programs through various tutors and counselors. Please speak with your teacher or principal if you think your child may need extra help.
Please visit the Archdiocese of Chicago Catholic Schools website for more information on Catholic school achievement and attendance. Click here
We at Pope John Paul II Catholic School believe in recognizing our hardworking students for their efforts. Below is an outline of our honor roll. Each quarter, students are nominated to the honor roll based on teacher recommendations and grades. These students are presented with their awards during a special ceremony.
The following grades are eligible for these quarterly awards:
Students that qualify for the A Honor Roll have a GPA between 3.70 and 4.00
Students that qualify for the B Honor Roll have a GPA between 3.00 and 3.69
We push students to strive to reach their highest potential at Pope John Paul II Catholic School! We value all students abilities, and challenge them through differentiated teaching techniques to become better learners. Below is our Grading Scale:
Title I is a government funded program under the No Child Left Behind federal education program, focusing on supplemental reading and/or math. Because it is supplemental, the program adds to the work already going on in the classrooms. Students in Title I work in small groups, helping students build self confidence and ability to learn. Our Title I teacher work closely with classroom teachers to ensure students are making academic progress. The Title I teacher reinforces what is taught in the classroom, it is not a homework help program. Students who attend Title I do not miss new material taught in the classroom. If your student is recommended to take part in Title I Services, there is no cost to you.
If you have any questions about the Title I Program, or if your child is currently a Title I student and you would like to speak to someone about your child, please contact Ms. Susan Boone, Title I Teacher.
Homework is a useful way for students to practice skills and learn independent study habits. It is the students AND parents responsibility to be sure that all homework is completed every night! Students in grades 2 through 8 will receive an assignment notebook in which to write down each assignment as it is given. It is the parents responsibility to supervise a child's homework time and check to see that assignments are finished and done neatly. Without doing the assignments, parents should encourage the child to spend the necessary time to be neat, look up the spelling of unfamiliar words, and to use correct punctuation. Parents are encouraged to help children in these ways so that the children will acquire the self-discipline required for doing homework. On most school days, children will be asked to do homework. Reading assignments that do not require writing are as important as written work. PERSONAL READING IS ALWAYS ENCOURAGED for students to expand their learning power.
I send my children to PJPII because it provides a great learning environment. My kids are growing and are happy, healthy, and safe because they are at PJPII. The benefits are that they are respectful, responsible, and they learn about our Catholic religion - PARENT

Spell for Sunshine
No need to cross your fingers and hope for good weather. According to the Romanies, you can make the sun shine whenever you want it to.
Here's how:
- Light a golden candle.
- Draw a five-inch map of the area where you want the sun to shine.
Moving the map clockwise, circle it three times around the candle flame, imagining the flame is the sun.
- Burn the map in the flame while making your wish.
You could say:
Fair weather I ask you to shine,
On this special day of mine,
I've chased the clouds away,
So the sun will shine all day.
Your special day will be filled with sunshine.

It was almost the end of the year and Israel the son of Esther and Gerard Peterson had made a promise that he would never forget to feed his pet dog before New Years Eve. Israel had made a promise to the janitor that he would not forget to feed his pit-bull before the break of a new year.
The dog was given to him as a present for his birthday because he begged the Janitor who lived next to the school he was attending. The Janitor had told him that on the first of January 2012 that if the dog was not fed before the clock hit mid-night, it would change into a ferocious "Ware-wolf" Even though his Mom and Dad were present at the mention of this gross outcome, the boy neglected to take the Janitor's comment seriously and just laughed it off.
It was now the last day in the year and Israel came back from watching a movie with his friends, unfortunately he was very tired and decided to take a short nap. The full moon was bright as day and when he awoke he went to the kitchen for a drink of water. As he was almost finished drinking, he heard an unusual loud cry coming from the yard. As the lock on the kitchen door was not locked he decided to open it to see where his dog was, he yelled out "LION-HEART?" Come boy! He ventured to the side of the house searching for his dog. Once again he heard the loud cry but this time he became frightening because it was a Howl. He was scared and tried to shout out Mamma but his fear made him speechless; Suddenly, he felt something wet and slimy dripping on his head. As he froze there he took his hand and wiped his head only see blood and slime coming off his hands.
Israel lift his head upwards and he saw the most horrifying ugly looking dog in his life. He spun around as fast as he could, running towards the kitchen door and as he opened it, on the ground, lay his mother and father in a pool of blood without their heads on their bodies.
Then he decided to call out for his best friend once more, yelling he called "LION-HEART!!!!!" To frightened to move he fell asleep. When he had awakened his dog was lying down in his room chewing on the scull on one of his parents.

After a restful (and delicious!) Thanksgiving, EHS is back on the road. This week we stopped at the gorgeous campus of Amherst College. We had a great time meeting with staff, and taking in the sights around campus…
Category Archives: Uncategorized
Georgia State University
Centered in the financial hub of downtown Atlanta, more than 32,000 students attend Georgia State University.
This is one of the busiest campuses we have visited yet we were greeted warmly by the staff of University Career Services as well as the Andrew Young School of Public Policy, the J. Mack Robinson College of Business, and the College of Arts and Sciences (both Georgia State pictures are from their website).
We have had several GSU students stay with us over the years and look forward to welcoming more!
Thanks so much to all of the staffers who took time out of their busy schedules to teach us more about GSU. We hope to be back for another visit again very soon!
Columbia College Chicago
Next, we made a stop at the highly creative Columbia College Chicago. The tagline "Create: Change" is carried throughout each of the different academic departments.
This word art, decorating the wall of the Marketing Communication department, keeps that tagline fresh in the minds of visiting students:
Talk about inspirational! We had an all-around great trip; thanks so much again to all who took time to show us around. Hope to see some CCC students this summer in NYC!
Go Buckeyes! EHS visits The Ohio State University
The Ohio State University is one of the largest universities in the country with over 60,000 students. We had an amazing time when we got to visit the sprawling campus, which is centered at the edge of beautiful downtown Columbus.
We hosted an information session while we were there so we could answer the questions of any students who were thinking of coming to NYC for an internship next year. EHS has had dozens of OSU students stay with us in the past, and judging from the great turnout at the info session, we are looking forward to seeing many more.
Our trip wouldn't have been complete without saying hello to campus's favorite icon: Brutus Buckeye of course. GO BUCKEYES!

New York University Student
EHS St. George Resident
1. What is your hometown?
I am originally from Lagos, Nigeria.
2. What school do you go to? What year?
This summer I started a master's program in international PR at NYU.
3. Why did you decide to come to NYC for the summer? Have you always wanted to come?
I've dreamt of living in NYC since I was little. I heard it was as busy as my hometown in Lagos, but I knew it was not the same thing– people come from all over the world to live in New York, and I always knew I'd be one of them. I got accepted into NYU and I couldn't wait for the Fall semester to move to New York so I decided to take summer classes as well.
4. How did you find out about EHS? What made you decide to book with EHS? What made you choose the St. George?
I am very particular about where I live, and I did not want to stay on campus like I did in college. I looked up suggestions for off-campus housing and I found the EHS website. I scheduled tours with some of the different buildings, and after visiting the St.George I knew I had to live here. The staff was very friendly, and there was something very warm and relaxing about the environment.
5. What do you like best about living with EHS and at the St. George so far?
I love the RAs and the different activities in the building, because I don't remember being as cool as an RA in my college days. I also like how secure the building is, because they take our well-being very seriously.
6. What things about coming to NYC were/are you excited about? What were/are you worried about?
Initially I was really worried about where I would stay, because it was all very last minute when I moved here. Now I'm just hoping to take full advantage of the many things there are to do/see in this city.
7. What do you hope to get out of your time in NYC?
Right now, I'm taking a full course load, but I'm also hoping to get a great internship in my field and do some volunteer work.
8. What are you favorite things to do in NYC so far?
I like the Shape Up NYC fitness events, the nightlife, and hanging out in Times Square with my friends. I also love kayaking, I went for the first time with an RA and some people in my building– I made friends and it was so much fun, I'm going to do it again and again.
9. Anything else you'd like to share about yourself or your experience with EHS?
I would just like to say that your perspective is very important in everything you do. I love living at EHS and although it's easy to be overwhelmed by daily activities and deadlines, it's also important for me to take time for myself, and remember to take advantage of all the opportunities/great things there are to do here in NYC.
Dorm Flashback at the University of Oregon
The New York Times recently posted the dorm rules for the University of Oregon in the 1960s and today and we thought it was too funny not to share! Check it out below (read the full article here)…
Handbook for Dormitory Women, 1960s
DORM HOURS Freshmen are to be tucked into bed by 11 p.m., and counselors will count noses at this time — upperclass noses, too. During quiet hours (all but four and a half hours a day during the week), residents should use phones, not windows, to call friends. Call limit: five minutes.
PERMISSIONS To go home, sign out with the housemother and pay her for a 2-cent postcard. She will send it to your parents to let them know you are on your way. Written permission from home is needed to go to the beach, ski lodge, hotel or boyfriend's home.
SOCIAL STANDARDS To improve in poise and social ease, students should observe and practice good manners — for example, by standing when an older person enters the room or approaches to speak. Dining room manners should reflect the training thus far received and absorbed.
PERSONAL APPEARANCE Shorts may not be worn on campus except to and from P.E. classes, and then only when covered by a long coat.
WEAPONS Possession, use or threatened use of firearms is prohibited. Possession of knives with a culinary purpose or a blade no longer than three inches is allowed. Combat knives and ceremonial swords are not.
ALCOHOL Residents under age 21 are not allowed to consume or possess alcoholic beverages. Possession of a rapid-consumption device ("beer bong," for example) is prohibited.
PERSONAL SAFETY Residents are not allowed on roofs, sides of buildings or outside ledges. No one is allowed to extend any part of his or her body outside the windowsills.
FIRE SAFETY Ceiling lights and lamps, including lava and disco lamps, cannot be covered with hats, towels or any other fabric.
GENDER EQUITY HALL Residents can choose to room with a student of any gender or gender-identity. Restrooms in this hall are gender-neutral.

The National Bureau of Statistics reveals that in June, Nigeria's inflation rate soared to 16.5 percent, the highest rate in almost 11 years.
According to data on the Central Bank of Nigeria's website, from 15.6 percent in May to 16.5 percent in June 2016, Africa's largest economy recorded the highest inflation rate since October 2005. This means that prices rose 1.7 percent in the month.
The NBS said in June, the Consumer Price Index (CPI), which measures inflation, continued to record relatively strong increases for the fifth consecutive month. The Headline index increased by 16.5% (year-on-year), 0.9% points higher from rates recorded in May (15.6%).

Most COICOP divisions which contribute to the headline index increased at a faster pace, the increase was however weighed upon by a slower increase in three divisions; Recreation & Culture, Restaurant & Hotels, and Miscellaneous Goods & Services Year on year, energy prices, imported items and related products continue to be persistent drivers of the core sub-index. The Core index increased by 16.2% in June, up by approximately 1.2% points from rates recorded in May (15.1%).
During the month, the highest increases were seen in the electricity, liquid Fuel (kerosene), furniture and furnishings, passenger transport by road, fuels and lubricants for personal transport equipment.
Asides farm produce, the core sub-index increased by 16.2% in June (year-on-year), up approximately by 1.2% points from 15.1% recorded in May.
The Core sub-index has increased at a faster pace for five consecutive months. Over the first six months of the year, the Core subindex increased by 12.8%, up 5.2% points from rates recorded in the corresponding period in 2015.
Inflation has increased consistently since October 2015, with the change in exchange rate policy, in the latter part of June expected to weigh in on inflation for the month of July.
The International Monetary Fund, IMF said this month, Nigeria's economy could contract for the first time in more than two decades this year as a fall in oil revenue and electricity shortages weigh on output.

Gross domestic product contracted by 0.4 percent in the three months through March as the naira peg and restrictions on trading foreign currency led to a shortage of dollars needed to import fuel and materials for manufacturers.

So… It's Been Awhile
It's been a month and a half without a post. Sorry, everyone! I've been caught up with work and life; but now things have calmed down again and I'm happy to get back into the blog and update you on the projects that my husband and I have been working on.
We're putting in a patio and landscaping our yard!
Earlier this year, my husband approached me about the idea of landscaping the yard and putting a patio in so we can use it rather than just walk through it… think barbecues and dinner parties outside; board game nights with heat from a fire pit; working on a craft on a nice bench on a sunny, weekend afternoon!
We've been working with a landscape architect to create the plans, but my husband took on some of the starting work to save money. We want a natural gas fire pit on the patio, so we had to get a gas line put in… which needs to be 18 inches below ground. Hubby dug all the trenches (with help from a friend or two) and then we hired someone to install the gas line. I'll post an update once the yard is complete!
Look at my awesome surprise!
My sister showed my husband a Kickstarter that her friend was doing. Instead of telling me about it, my husband backed the project as a surprise for me. I love surprises – no matter whether the surprise is an experience, a gift, or a hidden note. These metal flowers that open and close with temperature changes, even though hubby backed it before the yard project started, are a perfect addition to our yard once it's finished!
More crocheted stuffed animals!
One of our friends is expecting a baby within in the next month. Awhile back, she saw the baby dragon post and let me know how cute she thought it was. I knew that I had to make her some kind of stuffed animal when it came time for her baby shower! So, when I was given a crochet manual called "A Zoo for You," I knew I'd have to make a few of the mini zoo animals. I think they came out super cute!
I discovered that I am a yarn hoarder.
Speaking of crochet projects… I went through and organized my yarn recently. And, boy, do I have a lot of yarn! I think I need to go on a yarn-buying freeze until I use some of it… I cannot fit any more yarn into this ottoman! You can see two blankets that I started over a year ago, but never finished. I suppose I should finish those; what else should I do with the yarn I have?
I doodled little notes!
I love doodling. It relaxes me so much! So, sometimes I take a five minute break at my desk and doodle something that inspires me. Here are two of my recent doodles. Many of my doodles are inspired from Pinterest so I can work on new lettering techniques.
I finished a paint-by-numbers. 🙂
It took me well over six months to complete this painting. I only spent an hour every few days working on the painting. There were some moments that it felt like I'd never finish… but I finally did! It'll be awhile (if ever) before I undertake another paint-by-numbers, but this one is hanging proudly in my craft room.
It was a wonderful summer!
We had a busy summer, but it was a wonderful one! Now, we're creeping up on my favorite time of year, and I'm excited to get into more fall/winter activities like holidays and family gatherings, scarves, reading a book by the fire, and sipping on hot chocolate. What gets you excited about fall?

Jimmy Kimmel Asks: "Do You Know More Avengers Or Presidents?"
With comic book movie after comic book movie being released, Jimmy Kimmel thought it would be a fun idea to hit the streets and find out how many of them people actually know.
Do comic book heroes stand out more in the mind over US Presidents?
Well, Kimmel and his team asked people on the street to name as many Avengers as they could and then asked them to name as many Presidents as they could.
Which do you think are more recognizable?

So its upon us again, Vancouver Fashion Week. As always this city is buzzing with excitement and so am I. Not only will I be spectating the dazzling designs coming down the runway but I will be keeping all of you up to speed here on the blog. One designer I'll be jumping out of my seat to see is Evan Clayton. This Autumn/Winter 2014 runway show will be Evan's one year anniversary since he first
Skincare obsessions
Recently Ive become obsessed with my daily skin care regiment and since my last post i've acquired two new products. Don't worry I am aware that I have a serious shopping addiction but it's easier to justify skin care products, they're basically a necessity. Just as a pretext my skin tends to air on the dry side and isn't very bright or illuminating. Thus I look for products to correct or fight
Mixing Sporty and Glam
Hi dolls, As promised I am sticking to my plan and posting regularly. As a blogger i'm constantly faced with the challenge of having the sun set super early and not being able to take photos during the day. I go to school and work which makes my evenings and weekends my only blog photo days. I try to take all my outfit photos on the weekend but sometimes it just doesn't happen. I'm sharing this
Kimono Weekend Casual
Hi dolls! I hope you've all had a fantastic week. I've been really sick but have still gone to all my classes, made all my meetings and just really kicked some serious ass this week. Sometimes it's easy to get run down and just give up for that week but i'll tell you it feels a whole lot better when you just take hold of life and don't let it run you off course. This outfit I wore to run errands
OOTD- Holiday edition
Happy holiday dolls! The craziness has started here and will be going non stop through till the 27th. Having a three year old sister makes Christmas and Santa more fun. She tore through all her presents and then went and opened up all of ours. It was more the act of opening the gift she enjoyed then the actual present inside. I thought I would post a little holiday outfit that I will be wearing
OOTD – Leather Leggings
Hello Dolls, After I did the fall Lookbook I acquired leather leggings, which is something I had been searching for. It wasn't that I couldn't find any it was that I couldn't find any that gave my curvy body a nice shape. I find I loved leather leggings on models (who have leg gaps) but every time I put some on I just felt blah. These ones I found are amazing and fit my body great. They show off

chart is prepared and you are still wiatlisted, so you are not allowed to board the train with the ticket. If you booked ticket online, dont do anything, your money will be refunded to your account. If you booked ticket by visiting reservation center (prs), you need to go and cancel this ticket. If you booked ticket at reservation counter, and you want to travel, contact the tte at the time of the travel and check with him, if there is any vacant berth, if its there he can allow you to travel.

Hi, I hope to get some advice. I am from South Africa and am travelling around India for a while. The rail system is confusing me! If I book a ticket online that is WL10 (for example) what are the chances of one actually getting on the train? Also I believe there is a "tourist quota"available-- how do you book tickets this way?
These are the trips I want to do in the next while:
Trichy - Hospet Junction (7th of March)

SRG*^~ 35784 blog posts 174813 correct pred (76% accurate)
Trichy to Hospet there are no direct options.
One option i will suggest is take Mayiladuthurai-Mysore Express/16231 on 7th April from Trichy to Bangalore city & from there on 8th Morning you can take Mysore-Sainagar Shirdi Express/16217 from Bangalore City to Hospet.You have about 2 hrs of buffer time in between at Bangalore to change over the trains.You can use that time to refresh yourself.

Sorry to write again, but how would I purchase one of the tourist quota tickets? Must I do it at the station?
Mar 30 2013 (10:40)
ಅಶೋಕ್ अशोक Ashok*^~ 18380 blog posts 38073 correct pred (65% accurate)
I think you have to visit station as there is no option available in online booking for selecting foreign tourist quota.
Mar 30 2013 (12:46)
SRG*^~ 35784 blog posts 174813 correct pred (76% accurate)
Visit nearest Railway station ticket counter,if to book under Foreign Tourist quota have to show your Passport & Tourist visa over there..Do visit the PRS they will guide you..

Sugar-Glazed Roasted Carrots
Recipe by Debbie R.
This is from Cook's Country, America's Test Kitchen, Feb/March 2006. Don't use baby carrots in this. They won't roast properly. I liked decreasing the sugar about one-third.
Top Review by Baby Kato
These are very tasty carrots Debbie. We enjoyed them very much. I had to turn the heat down from 475 to 425 degrees after 5 minutes because the carrots were burning and not cooking. That said they turned out great, tender and flavorful with lots of dark flavor. I will definitely be making these again, but will decrease the amount of sugar and use a lower heat. Thanks so much for sharing. Made for Name That Ingredient Tag Game.
See Discussion:3 Reviews
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1 1⁄2 lbs medium carrots, peeled and cut into 2 x 1/2-inch pieces
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 tablespoon dark brown sugar
- 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
- 1⁄2 teaspoon pepper
Directions See How It's Made
- Put oven rack in the middle position. Preheat to 475 degrees. Heat rimmed baking sheet for 10 minutes.
- Toss carrots, melted butter, sugar, salt and pepper until thoroughly combined. Remove pan from oven. Please carrots in single layer on it. Roast until they're beginning to brown, about 15 minutes.
- Remove pan from oven, toss carrots to redistribute and keep roasting until tender and deep amber in color, with some very darkened spots (but not all over)--about 3 minutes.
