Drs. Clifford McClain and Howard Gordon and Career and Technical doctoral students Ms. Kimball and Bezard recently presented at Nevada conferences.
Kimball, C., McClain, C. & Gordon, H. A methodological approach to autoethnography research: Implications for public health. Nevada Public Health Association Annual Conference Redefining Health: Strategies for Improving the Physical, Mental and Social Well-Being of All Nevadans, Reno, NV, September 12-13, 2013.

Dr. P.G. Schrader and Dr. MaryKay Orgill (Department of Chemistry) were awarded $749,700 from the National Science Foundation for their grant proposal titled Cyber-Learning Activities to Scaffold STEM Practices (CLASSP). The grant will look at how innovative, cyber-enabled instructional methods can transform STEM education and increase opportunities for underrepresented middle-school student populations. CLASSP addresses this by developing, implementing and testing a cyber-learning methodology to elevate STEM learning opportunities and success for underrepresented minority and rural middle school students in Nevada.
Research on video games has informed this approach, which combines a proven system for online inquiry with feedback. This system is being developed in concert with a community of practitioners within the existing Nevada Gaining Early Awareness and Readiness Undergraduate Program (GEAR UP) network that addresses the college preparation of underrepresented populations. GEAR UP will help identify and CLASSP will target an audience of middle-school students from ethnically and racially diverse and economically disadvantaged communities. Through this partnership, the impact of the projects' cyber-learning methodology will be piloted online and in face-to-face interactions with students in the urban settings of Reno and Las Vegas. Next, the project will expand to meet the interests and needs of rural educators and students in remote areas of Nevada. With experimental cyber-learning methods and low technology requirements, CLASSP is capable of being integrated into the most rudimentary technology infrastructures. The lessons learned will inform teacher training and STEM education of diverse students.
Dr. Leanna Archambault, a graduate of the Department of Teaching & Learning Doctoral Program, was recognized by the Teacher's College at Arizona State University as the recipient of their Promising Research Scholar Award. Since graduating, Dr. Archambault has published in several prominent journals, including Computers & Education, the Journal of Teacher Education and the Journal of Research on Technology in Education. In addition to her publications, she won the Online Learning Innovator Award for Important Research from the International Association for K-12 Online Learning in 2010 and 2012. Congratulations Dr. Archambault.
Teaching and Learning faculty member, Travis Olson is featured in the latest edition of Discoveries Newsletter. The article describes his use of software and web resources in the teaching of mathematics. The newsletter also describes his teacher professional development project funded through the Nevada Collaborative Teaching Improvement Program (NeCoTIP).
In May 2013, the Graduate & Professional Student Association (GPSA) passed a motion to recommend that all fully admitted graduate and professional students taking 9 credits or more per semester, and all graduate assistants, must have health insurance coverage either through UNLV or their own carrier. In June 2013, the NSHE Board of Regents supported and approved this proposal. As a result, the mandatory hard waiver student health insurance policy is in effect immediately for the Fall 2013 semester.

Title: Increasing Dental Student Diversity Through the UNLV Dental Prospects ProgramJournal: Journal of Dental EducationAbstract: Adequately providing for the health care of the growing minority population in the United States requires increased racial and ethnic diversity of the health care workforce. Long-term diversity in the dental profession depends on a more diverse student population in dental schools. The University of Nevada, Las Vegas School of Dental Medicine's (UNLV SDM) Dental Prospects Club is a pre-dental education program that has increased the number of underrepresented minority and disadvantaged students in the school by concentrating on outreach, recruitment, and retention initiatives. The approaches used by the club members and faculty advisors to increase the number of underrepresented minority students recruited to and enrolled in the UNLV SDM are discussed in this report. Also described are the strategies, methods, internal infrastructure, and organizational support used to increase the number of underrepresented minority students at the school.

T&L assistant professor Hasan Deniz's work with Project VISION was recently featured on the UNLV News Center. Dr. Deniz is working with chemistry associate professor Mary Kay Orgill and CCSD's science director, Mary Pike to help improve elementary science education in local schools. The work is focused on providing professional development for elementary school teachers. The project is funded by the Nevada Department of Education via the Math Science Partnership program.
Doctoral student Kyle Kaalberg was one of six UNLV students who were selected invited to attend a private breakfast event with dignitaries of the Las Vegas Community. First Lady Michelle Obama served as an invited speaker. Kyle was more than happy to accomodate the First Lady's request for a group picture.
Department of Teaching & Learning Professor Dr. Jane McCarthy was featured on the home page of the Association of Teacher Educators where she delivered the "Distinguished Educator Lecture" at the Association of Teacher Educator's 2012 Annual Event Meeting that was held in San Antonio, Texas. Dr. McCarthy is also featured throughout the conference slideshow.
In the past, Dr. McCarthy has served as the Dean of the College of Education, Department Chair of the Department of Curriculum and Instruction, and Chair of the UNLV Faculty Senate. She has an extensive record of research and publication in the fields of school reform, classroom management, and effective teaching strategies for students in at-risk situations. She has been a faculty member at the University of Houston, Rice University, and a project director at Stanford University before coming to UNLV sixteen years ago. Dr. McCarthy is a member of numerous boards and committees.
In her role as Director of the Southern Nevada Writing Project Professor Marilyn McKinney's work and research connect her with 196 other writing project sites across the country through the National Writing Project (NWP). Recently, Dr. McKinney participated with NWP site leaders to review site reports and create an online resource of promising practices gleaned from the reports; upon her return she heard good news. The U.S. Education Secretary Arne Duncan announced the award of nearly $24.6 million for three grants to improve student achievement by increasing the effectiveness of teachers and principals. Funded under the Supporting Effective Educators Development (SEED) program was the National Writing Project. Based in Berkeley, Calif., the NWP will use its $11.3 million grant to train 3,000 K-12 teacher-leaders in the teaching of writing, who will then conduct professional development for teachers in local schools and districts in all 50 states. They are expected to reach some 12,000 students during the 2012-13 school year. The training will be conducted at intensive summer institutes for teachers on university campuses as well as through online programs. Another focus of the National Writing Project grant is to provide at least 30 hours of professional development in writing instruction throughout the school year for teachers serving high-need students in 100 schools and districts across the country. Though the SNWP is not a direct recipient of the funding, Dr. McKinney's team will benefit from this national award.
Department of Teaching & Learning doctoral student Kyle Kaalberg is interviewed by local station (Channel 8) for his work with UNLV Cares. Kyle is the acting Vice President at the UNLV Cares Food Pantry.
UNLV Cares is a student organization that is an entity separate from UNLV, but provides a support system for any UNLV community member who may be struggling due to devastating budget cuts. Well over 100 were served during the first two months of 2012, with hundreds served during the fall semester. It is a discreet system where individuals associated with UNLV may receive non-perishable food items. UNLV Cares is located across from campus on the second floor of the Promenade Center, and relies solely on food donations from the campus. Within the next few weeks, UNLV cares will be able to accept cash donations as well. Donations are essential to the sustainability of this organization, and anyone wishing to donate can use the drop boxes located around campus or email firstname.lastname@example.com to have food picked-up. To learn more about UNLV Cares visit the UNLV Cares Facebook page.
**Attention Education Students**
Effective Spring 2012, the College of Education will no longer require EDU 210-Nevada School Law as a program requirement. HOWEVER, the Nevada Department of Education DOES require Nevada School Law for licensure. Students will now have the OPTION to either take EDU 210 (2cr), which we expect will continue to be offered for elective credits, or take the equivalent test-out exam. Information about this exam can be found at http://www.unr.edu/educ/el/nvlaw/. For those students on a non-licensure program, this requirement is no longer necessary. You may still enroll in EDU 210 for elective credits.
**Please keep in mind, should you take the test-out option instead of EDU 210, you may need to make up those 2 credits with electives to reach 124.**
If you have any questions, please contact the College of Education Advising & Field Placement Center at 702-895-1537, or stop by CEB 221.
Reminder: Rebelmail is used for all course and program related correspondence. This includes course evaluations, cancellation announcements and other important information.

I wandered over to Facebook for a couple of minutes (funny how that happens!) and found these remarks about Sarah and Ryan's wedding. Here, again, is that sense of serendipity when, late in the day, the clouds part and the sun emerges long enough for all to be warmed and the two to say "I do".
That is just absolutely stunning !!!!!!!
Great, fun wedding. Thanks!!!!!
So glad we could be there to celebrate with both of you. We had a great time.
Beautiful time…beautiful wedding….lovely place……!
Hear what they have to say about Migis Lodge, about the Delta Knights, about the Snell Family Farm in Buxton, and about what a lovely time they had!
P.S. There are still a few 2013 openings. Give Robyn a call! 207-655-4524.

2009 Monticello Vineyards Estate Grown Pinot Noir - Magnum
Our Estate Grown Pinot Noir is produced from grapes that we grow in the Oak Knoll District of Napa Valley. This region of Napa Valley provides a cool climate from which we produce Pinot Noir grapes that are lush with abundant rich fruit flavors.
This 100% Pinot Noir is sharing some beautiful tones on the nose. I find strawberry, vanilla, cola and spicy dried flower aromas on the nose. It is a nice medley of fruit, floral, and oak tones that is very well balanced and inviting. On the palate this wine has a vibrant acidity that invigorates the palate immediately. There are light grain tannins that coat the palate and the finish is long and rich, climaxing with a juicy fruit and vanilla tone that lingers. Drink Now through 2016.
– Chris Corley, Winemaker

Kanchanaburi : Michelin's recommendations
This former garrison town, founded in the 17C to defend the border from Burmese attacks, now makes a pleasant stopping-off point before heading on to explore the region's national parks. Unfortunately, Kanchanaburi is known mainly for the tragic events of 1942-43, in which hundreds of thousands of people lost their lives during the construction of the "death railway" and the bridge over the River Kwai, immortalised in the film by David Lean. The Death Railway Museum and the military cemetery evoke this appalling period of contemporary history.

Doing "unfeminist" things doesn't make you a hypocrite, it makes you human.
The sexual exploitation of black girls continues to only be a problem for black girls. For the world at large? Not so much.
My main concern with BusinessWeek's grossly framed, woman-penned article about the psychology of female 'bitchiness' is that it might deter future research on a worthwhile topic.
kathleen hanna
But this is my second time interviewing her -- that automatically makes us BFFs, right? A little? No? Anyway, here's what the feminist punk icon has to say about riot grrrl, Lyme disease, "Scandal," and the new movie about her.
You know that thing where you write a word so many times it starts to lose all meaning? I'm doing that with "selfie" right now.
oprah dress
Black women will not stand for you making yourself feel better at our expense.
How different would life have been for those of us who grew up in the '70s and '80s if we'd seen more women like this on TV?
Intent doesn't mean much when what you're doing is still causing damage by perpetuating racist stereotypes.
alison bechdel
If you think of something that would be cool for society to do in order to address inequality, Sweden has probably done it or is thinking about it.
My books help prove the point that "feminism" and "erotica" aren't mutually exclusive terms. But how can I make people realize that the feminism in my books is, well, FUN, not to mention sexy?
pubic hair
This is not an academic treastise. These are some pure, unedited, early morning pre-coffee shaving-your-pubic-hair thoughts.
If the entire notion of women as the fairer sex and the "prettier" gender disappeared, thus allowing us to be ugly all the time or some of the time without cultural shaming/pity/donning the cloak of invisibility, what would it be like?
Women aren't the only ones driven to act unfavorably by hormone fluctuations. Imagine the massive disorder diagnosis upswing if only testosterone poisoning were A Thing. Every time a guy punches a wall because he missed a layup? Road rage, chair throwings, gang skirmishes, fraternity hazing gone tragic? Every war, ever?
Does that make them incredibly vain and insecure? To me, it seems like not the biggest of whoops.
Trigger warnings for rape and victim blaming!
For the average American mother, "opting in" really isn't an option—it's a necessity.
having it all
I don't even have kids and I'm struggling to keep my head above life's waterline.
Short answer: because a tiny part of me is afraid of being uncool.
Apparently super femme bikes are the new push-up bra.
natalie portman
Your recent comments about feminist movie roles just made me adore you more. Also, can we all just stop it with the "strong woman" trope already?
Ms. Smith is no fool. I suspect she knows exactly what she's doing, and she's doing it right, because here we are discussing it.
the pill
The author of a controversial new book about the alleged risks and dangers of hormonal birth control shares her thoughts on the matter.

Oh, also, a price tag below $20.

Prayer & Support
Your dilemma seems to be one of discernment. As you likely know within your mind and gut, vengeance will eat at you as a cancer. Peace will not be yours.
Yet justice done for another is especially noble if the downtrodden learn their value and cease on their own to allow abuse to continue.
I believe the parable of turning the other cheek is a valuable lesson. The lesson for me is not about passivity but rather the dignity of rightful conviction. I do not believe we are asked to slither away. But rather to turn a harmful experience into a positive experience. Growth is possible for both parties.
Ghadi was non violent. Yet he did not allow those in authority to trample his (and his people's) dignity. He stood with intellect and rightful morals to turn a harmful situation around. A sub continent was freed.
I recently heard of an example of passive dignity used by Desmond Tutu. Reportedly as he walked along a sidewalk he was approached by an individual who shouted out in advance of their passing "Get out of my way. I do not share the sidewalk with gorillas". Mr. Tutu stepped aside and said to the protagonist as he passed, "but sir, I do." Apartheid as governmental policy is dead within that country.
Look internally for dicernment, seek wise council and pray. I will pray with you.
Hello Mari. I can imagine how hard things must be for you right now. This morning I read a quote that might bring you some consolation or help you put things in perspective. Here is my translation of it:
"Love Without Expectations:
When we pay too close attention to the flaws of others, we lose insight. We gain to approach others with unconditional love over personnal interest. That way, for not having held them to our own standards, their inherent goodness may be revealed." (24 heures a la fois - mars - recueil de pensees quotidiennes; Collection la semaine; publication Charron et Inc.; 2007, 12 mars.)
This certainly is not an easy thing to do. Especially since it is in the nature of us women to hold grudges and to fantasize about revenge. The sacrament of confession helps keep us in check; it calls us to remain fully honest about what we really do feel and think that make us unholy and bring our downfall. We are called to surrender our worries, our transgressions and our unholy selves to God. When we are truly repentent we are forgiven and cleansed of these. Confession always helps better understand how to proceed in areas of my life where things are unclear. All the best to you, Mari, in figuring out what you should do in your case. Blessings.
Dear CM Friends:
As some of you know, I'm quitting my job. By July I shoud have moved to the countryside to work in a little town inside a dormant volcano to work with the Parish priest and the few nuns who tend to the sick, the extremely poor and the elderly (sometimes all packed into one person).
I know that there is a very fine line bewteen Justice and revenge (note that I don't capitalize it). Management is trampling all over everyone in the office, and I'm the only one with the guts / freedom to say: Enough.
My "problem" is that I have so much political clout that I just have to make one phone call and they willl have so many inspectors, that the company will pay a lot of fines, and shake all the way to Spain (our main offices) and Abu Dhabi (our owners).
I feel that I'm standing over a cliff, and I'm afraid to fall into a pit. It's my soul's life that's at stake. I understand perfectly well that this temptation has come to me now that I subscribed again for a month, and I'm learning / remembering what being a Child of God is all about; I'm trying to pray the 54 day Novena & go to daily Mass (can't always, but try); I adopted a Cardinal for the Conclave and more... above all, it's Lent!
I don't want to be selfish and ask for prayers today, of ll days, when I wish we were all in a retreat praying for the Conclave, but I'm really in a life or death situation.
"And do not be afraid of those who kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul. But instead fear him who is able to destroy both soul and body in Hell." Mt 10:28
Bless you all,
I pray that you find the strength to give this fight over to the Lord. Let Him handle this and let His will be done. I understand where you are coming from in this situation but please don't give in to the earlhly temptation of revenge. "Vengeance is mine, And I decree the punishment of all her enemies: Their doom is sealed." Deut. 32:35
God Bless you
Mari, I'm going to offer here what I would do at this point in my life (when I was younger I would have done something different). I would walk away from this situation without doing anything other than praying for your coworkers and for the management that is not acting in a righteous manner. I would let go of this situation and focus on the amazing new opportunity you have of being on a strong spiritual and charitable path toward Jesus by serving the sick and the elderly and the poor. I would ask myself what would Jesus want me to do now. In most cases, Jesus turned the other cheek. Every employee who works at that company must do whatever he or she thinks is best - whether that be leaving the company, complaining to management (which will get you nowhere- and I know this because I worked in the corporate environment for 10 years - in the last few years as a project manager and training manager), changing jobs to be under a new manager, or just staying in their jobs and trying to make the best of it. I think that it is doubtful that anything you do would result in any changes, not because you are not right, but because that is the way corporations work.And, if you start legal proceedings you will be involved in that for years (if your legal system is anything like ours). I believe your company will ignore what you have to say or try to discredit you. And, you will effectively have burnt your bridges (so to speak). I don't think it is worth the time, energy, stress, etc. that doing this would cause. And, I believe it would totally undercut your focus on your amazing new opportunity. Just let it go. Say goodbye, bless everyone there - your friends, your coworkers, and even your managers. This will have more effect for good than any action taken against the company because good has more power over evil than negative actions have over evil (if that makes any sense to you).
So, bless them, say goodbye to them, pray for them, and move on to your new life. You will have more peace and you will be able to focus on doing good works for Christ and Mary. That is what is important. I'm not saying this is easy to do because I know it is not. But, if you can do this, you will truly feel God's grace at work in your life - and this I do know from personal experience. Money is not important in this life and even less so in the next life. All that is important is living a life of faith, hope, and love. And, as St. Paul said, the greatest of these is love (or charity). So, even though you may not want to, be charitable to the people in management who don't deserve it. We don't realize how our good actions toward others affect them. Doing this may result in far more changes than taking them to task or sticking lawyers on them.
I will keep you in my prayers when I go to Daily Mass tomorrow!

(Democracy Now! 0821 PST, March 28, 2011) As many as 500,000 protesters marched in London on Saturday to protest Britain's deepest cuts to public spending since World War II. The protests come after UK officials estimated corporate taxes would be reduced even as it tackles a $235-billion deficit and plans to cut more than 300,000 public sector jobs.
Democracy Now! interviews British journalist Johann Hari who writes for The Independent of London and Allison Kilkenny of Citizen Radio in New York.
Spending Cuts Demo: Police and Protesters Clash in London

Rude Native Bistro & Lounge- Burlington
Online Reservations
we choose this restaurant as they had done a fab job at my son's wedding in the fall. Excellent pre theater dinner menu and everything was delicious. My curry was just right but my husband found his Moroccan Lamb a little too hot - he doesn't like spicy but is such a fan of lamb and will choose differently next time. But for anyone who loves flavour and food prepared well you will enjoy the tastes at the Rude Native. It doesn't disappoint. They got us out on time for the performance at the Arts Centre and we left talking about returning before the next show that we are attending in two weeks. Thanks for the service and the food. PS That chocolate pate is do die for !
The food and service were wonderful. I have never been to the Rude Native, it was recommended by a friend. My experience was wonderful and I will be sure to recommend this lovely restaurant.
What a wonderful way to celebrate two birthdays. We have dined at the restuarant before, which is one of the reasons we choose it again. An all-round pleasant and enjoyable evening of good food and good company.
I attended theRudeNative to celebrate my Birthday with friends and family. The atmosphere was great, especially liked the open kitchen. The service when we first arrives was not the greatest as we did have to wait over 10 minutes for our waitress to introduce herself and take our drink order. Unfortunately there was not a wine list at our table, so it took another 10 minutes for us to look at the list and then wait for our server to return. I would say 20 minutes is too long to wait to take a drink order taken. However, after that first little bump in the road it was smooth sailing from there. Excellent appetizers, mains and desserts!!! Above average food for sure, we will be returning to the Rude Native in the near future!
Restaurant Staff very friendly. Great food. Was not rushed. Enjoyable evening out for dinner with friends.
First time here. I took my friend for a B Day dinner. The menu is fabulous and imaginative. Wonderful choice. I had the lamb and my friend had the salmon entree. We enjoyed 2 appand etizers and shared a dessert. Everything was delicious, full of flavour and beautiful to look at.
Food is delicious, very different food, the menu is always changing which is nice. The atmosphere is great, always a please dining here.
We enjoyed our dinner there very much. The service was very good and the food was excellent. Good variety and fantastic flavours. We will be back and definately recommend the restaurant to friends.
We just love the comfortable atmosphere and great food at the Rude Native. Kudos to the chef for the great flavours! It is a friendly place with wonderful service. We will be back.
Had a nice experience here for Taste of Burlington. Sat on the rooftop patio which was nice, however, they need some background music playing. Sometimes the staff talked to each other across the patio with us in the middle which I found strange. But the menu offered lots of foods and drinks. My chicken in particular (blackened chicken) was SOOO SALTY that I thought about sending it back (the rub?), but flavours and rest of plate were good. The app (firecracker) was great and dessert good, as well as variety in menu. I LOVED the cider on tap. I would still return to this place despite the negative parts of the experience because it's not fair to have final judgement based on one experience. Overall, I'm glad I went, so thanks for that!
I took a girl here on a date, wasn't to sure what to expect but from the moment we walked through the front door we were treated like first class. The service was amazing the steak was probably the best steak i have ever had, I had no complaints and perfectly happy paging what I paid just to get the food I got. Would highly recommend.
Went for our anniversary, they gave us an excellent table by the front window. Eclectic menu, Recommend the firecrackers and grilled calamari. Butter chicken and Steak were great, Would definitely go again.
Nice dining spot to gather with small group of friends. Service is excellent and food always tasty and worth discovering. I like that there is a special feature every day and we went for the Tuesday night all you can eat mussels. Served in 4 different options and portions are generous. The mussels were plump and juicy. Green curry sauce was a favourite. The wine menu needs updating as some offerings have been discontinued and replaced. Also a little limited in the whites. The decor is soberly stylish and not intimidating and the background music , if any, allows you to carry a quiet conversation without straining to hear each other. A good place to enjoy food and conversation. Thank you for a great meal.
Would completely recommend this restaurant, the service was excellent and we did not feel rushed throughout the meal, all 3 courses came at a nice pace. The food was nicely presented & tasted lovely, the double baked cheesecake is well worth the indulgence, a good dessert to share, menu prices are very reasonable, looking forward to going back again!

Less is More?!?!
Put that down! You don't want to overdose on that glass of water, do you? Some substance might have left its imprint into the liquid's memory, creating a potent drug…
Sound far-fetched? The British Parliament thinks so, which is why members of the House of Commons Science and Technology Committee have recently condemned funding for homeopathic drugs.
Homeopathy is a medical system that operates based on the principle that the lower the dose of medication, the greater its effectiveness. By diluting a substance many times, the end product has only the "essence" of the substance but none of the active ingredients. (Read more…)

Well I have started weight lifting recently, trying to gain some muscle/lose weight as I try for the police force. I have gained about 40 lbs in the past 4-5 years since I left highschool, some in muscle but a large portion in fat simply because I got on a really bad eating diet and poor choice of friends who eat like crap. I can pass the physical at the moment but am looking at losing a few pounds to try and up my time. I am looking for some supplements to help me lose weight along with a good diet and weight lifting/running list if possible.
My stats:
Live in Canada (alot of supplements can't be shipped up here from main sites)
Hockey, soccer, basketball, tennis player - as much as I can around work schedule
The last 4-5 months I have been lifting a fair bit and I have noticed my strength is going up but my weight stays the same. Idealy I want to get down to 180 if possible, 170 preferred but I think 30lbs will be a stretch. Any suggestions with supplements to help me recover and lose weight and/or diet would be greatly appreciated. Friend suggested this site could help me out alot.

Must-Know Beauty: How to Look SexyAll Summer Long
Must-Know Beauty: How to Look SexyAll Summer Long
This is the best-ever season, but the high temps and humidity can bring challenges. Just in time, superfast solutions for common beauty bummers.
Sergio Kurhajec
Special Offer
Page 1 of 4
There are a million things to love about the steamiest, sexiest months of the year: bare skin, natural highlights, vacation flings....But sometimes, scorching weather and frizz-inducing humidity can kill your looks. Keep your cool: We have the fixes for the seven most annoying only-in-the-summer beauty issues, including everything from smudgy makeup to super-rebellious hair.
1. Limp Locks
Your strands go all stringy...and stick to your skin like glue.
Fast fix:
Mist on a dry shampoo that soaks up excess moisture. Look for an easy-to-use aerosol spray version, and aim the nozzle at your roots to give your tresses an extra lift. We like Samy Dry Shampoo, $7.99.
Prevention plan:
Oil spreads through our hair faster in the summer, so use a shampoo that controls moisture, like Biolage Scalptherapie Cooling Mint Shampoo, $14. Blow-dry, then rub on hair powder with a nonsticky finish. Aveda Pure Abundance Hair Potion, $22, builds volume and matte texture with silica granules, says NYC hairstylist Jim Crawford.
Pat your neck and shoulders with an oil-free toner. Itll absorb sweat so your hair wont stick to your body, says Giorgio Armani Beauty national creative director Tim Quinn.
2. Chia-Pet Hair
It just grows...and grows...and grows in the humidity.
Fast fix:
Touch up the frizzy spots with a dab of leave-in conditioner or pat on a silicone infused hair sheet both will tame the dryness that makes hair puff up, Crawford says.
Prevention plan:
Rub a hair serum or jojoba oil onto your strands at night. Even if you shampoo it out in the morning, the extra conditioning treatment will keep your locks sleeker all day.
Use an antifrizz spray before and after blow-drying so it really penetrates. This will form a protective wrap around the shaft so that wetness cant get in and make strands swell up, explains celeb hairstylist Samy. New formulas with ingredients like wheat proteins are extra moisturizing but light enough for multiple applications.

Ohio students commemorate classmates slain by teen
CHARDON, Ohio (AP) — One day after a teen gunman pleaded guilty in the deadly school shooting in northeast Ohio, students marked its one-year anniversary Wednesday with hugs, supportive messages and a somber march through town.
The march by Chardon High School students, walking arm-in-arm in the damp cold from the school to the town square, was an emotional highlight during the day's commemoration.
Photos of the three slain students were displayed, onlookers applauded marchers and firefighters hung a large American flag from an aerial ladder.

Presented to: Adam Abel
For: Saints and Soldiers
Saints and Soldiers is not just the best LDS film of the past year, but the best LDS film of any year. It is so superior on almost every level, especially in its technical aspects, that it puts some of the more hastily assembled films to shame.
Directed by Ryan Little and written by Geoffrey Panos and Matt Whitaker, Saints and Soldiers follows a small band of American and British G.I.s as they sneak through enemy lines following the Malmedy massacre of December 1944. The film powerfully evokes a wintry atmosphere and a sense of foreboding and danger, while drawing characters who earn our sympathy and respect.
It also explores the inherent conflict between religion and war, the idea that one must sometimes give up one's personal responsibility in order to fight for something bigger, even if it means doing things one is normally opposed to.
And yet, despite the film's intense atmosphere, and though distinctly "light" moments are few, it nonetheless is not oppressive or dreary. It is dramatic, in the most complimentary sense of that word. It engages the emotions and the senses subtly and expertly, and the Association for Mormon Letters is pleased to honor it.
