COSFJR (who designed the avatars for 2010 and 2011) thought it'd be a good idea to have a contest in case there's anyone else out there with some design skills that wanted to give it a shot. The winner will have their design posted on the website of course, have it used as the signature avatar, and also used for any t-shirts that may be made up.
Note: the design should be made in an electronically reproducible format to make for easier use in the shirt making process. In other words, please no sketches on napkins.
In the meantime, here is what will serve as our placeholder

A shinbone fracture is a break in the tibia. The lower leg has two bones that connect the knee to the ankle: the tibia and the fibula. The tibia is the larger of the two bones and runs on the inside of the lower leg. The fibula is much smaller and runs along the outside of the lower leg.
© 2011 Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
A shinbone fracture is caused by trauma to the shinbone. Trauma includes:
Factors that may increase your chance of getting a shinbone fracture include:
Shinbone fracture may cause:
The doctor will ask about your symptoms, physical activity, and how the injury occurred. The doctor will examine the injured area.
Imaging tests may include:
Proper treatment can prevent long-term complications or problems with your shinbone. Treatment will depend on how serious the fracture is, but may include:
Extra support may be needed to protect, support, and keep your shinbone in line while it heals. Supportive steps may include a splint, brace, walking boot, or cast. A walker or crutches will help you move around while keeping weight off your leg.
Some fractures cause pieces of bone to separate. Your doctor will need to put these pieces back into their proper place. This may be done:
Children's bones are still growing at an area of the bone called the growth plate. If the fracture affected the growth plate, your child may need to see a specialist. Injuries to the growth plate will need to be monitored to make sure the bone can continue to grow as expected.
Prescription or over-the-counter medications may be given to help reduce inflammation and pain.
Medications may include acetaminophen or ibuprofen.
Check with your doctor before taking nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medications, such as ibuprofen or aspirin.
Aspirin is not recommended for children with a current or recent viral infection. Check with your doctor before giving your child aspirin.
Healing time varies by age and your overall health. Children and people in better overall health heal faster. In general, it takes up to 4-6 months for a fractured shinbone to heal.
You will need to adjust your activities while your shinbone heals, but complete rest is rarely required. Ice and elevating your leg at rest may also be recommended to help with discomfort and swelling.
As you recover, you may be referred to physical therapy or rehabilitation to start range-of-motion and strengthening exercises. Do not return to activities or sports until your doctor gives you permission to do so.

- Heat oven to 180C/fan 160C/gas 4 and make sure there's a shelf ready in the middle. Butter and line the bases of 2 x 20cm round sandwich tins with baking paper.
- Using electric beaters, beat together all the cake ingredients with a pinch of salt until smooth, then spoon into the tins and level the tops. Bake for 30 mins or until golden and springy. Don't open the oven before 25 mins cooking time has passed.
- When they're ready, cool the sponges for a few mins, then tip out of the tins and cool completely on a wire rack. Make sure the top of one of the cakes is facing up as you'll want a smooth surface for the icing later on.
- When cool, put one sponge on a serving plate, then spread with jam. Sandwich the second sponge on top. Sieve the icing sugar into a large bowl. Add the water or lemon juice, then stir until smooth and thick. Spread evenly over the top and let it dribble over the sides. Scatter with the nuts and leave to set for a few mins before cutting.

Comments, questions and tips
I've made this a couple of times and have adapted the recipe slightly to give a thicker sponge. It is delicious though and always goes down well with guests!
Followed the instructions to a tee and it makes a really lovely, tasty cake. It definitely has that distinctive bakewell taste too. My only issue with the cake is that the sponge didn't rise as much as I would have liked. I would make a bit more of the mixture next time I make this cake, as it seemed quite thin when I put it into the tins and the end result was slightly thin sponges. Overall this cake is a real winner though - tasty, different and simple to make.
I made this as a Christmas Bakewell cake and it was delicious.
I doubled the amount of almond essence as I wanted it to be really almondy and that worked fine, then instead of sprinkling almond flakes on top I decorated it with glacé cherries, sugar crystals, fondant snowflakes, real holly leaves and a light sprinkling of glitter.
It would make an excellent alternative to a rich fruit cake for those people who don't like Christmas cake!
Really love this recipe, I've made two this week and everyone who's tried it has loved it. It's dead simple all in one method makes it nearly foolproof and its full of almond flavour. I don't bother with the flaked almonds on top, just iced and added glacé cherries and a little lemon zest grated over.

In 1997, PH Awareness Month was born from the simple tables of hospitals and clinics. What started as a humble awareness initiative for medical professionals rapidly evolved into a nationwide PH awareness campaign. Through the years, PH Awareness Month has facilitated the creation of valuable programs for the PH community and has placed pulmonary hypertension in the public's consciousness. This year's theme, "Racing Toward a Cure," highlights the determination and progress the PH field has already made toward the ultimate finish line: a cure. PHA invites your support and understanding of all that our programs offer for PH patients, caregivers and medical professionals.
More information about 2013 PH Awareness Month sponsorship opportunities is listed below.
To reserve a sponsorship or to seek additional information, please contact Maggie Bahrmasel at email@example.com or 301-565-3004 x756.
Sponsor recognition is outlined in the individual sponsorship descriptions. For sponsorships that support the continuation of an existing program, sponsor recognition will begin in November 2013 (PH Awareness Month) and continue through October 2014. For sponsorships that support the development and implementation of a new program, the sponsor will be recognized from the date of launch for a period of twelve months. Sponsors of printed resources will be recognized until the resource is exhausted.
Because all 2013 opportunities are co-sponsorships, there will be no right of first refusal process.
Sponsorship opportunities for the 2013 PH Awareness Month have been broken down into five categories to help you find the sponsorship that best aligns with your company's interests:
You can also download the 2013 PH Awareness Month sponsorship document in PDF.
$25,000 (minimum) co-sponsorships*In recent years, rapidly changing policies in the PH field have left many PH patients struggling to access expert care and adequate treatment. As shifting insurance and pharmacy initiatives create chaos for patients and their families, PHA plans to significantly expand the Patient Access Program to identify and address concerns about public and private insurance at the national and state level, as well as issues with access to care through specialty pharmacies.
PHA's Insurance Advocacy and Education program focuses on ensuring that patients have access to the treatment they need to improve their quality of life by empowering patients to be self-advocates and mobilizing leading experts in the field to respond to changes in policy and regulations. Sponsorship of PHA's insurance related activities supports not only its advocacy efforts, but also quarterly webinars, two unbranded ads per year in PHA's Advances in Pulmonary Hypertension journal, the distribution of Insurance-in-an-Instant planning guides for support group leaders, ongoing content development and promotion of the Online Insurance Guide, monthly Coverage Connection e-newsletters and many other online educational resources.
In addition to the Insurance Advocacy and Education program, PHA plans to expand the Specialty Pharmacy Advisory Board (SPAB). The SPAB is an inclusive partnership of patients, caregivers, medical professionals, specialty pharmacies, pharmaceutical companies, Caring Voice Coalition (CVC) and PHA that seeks to provide patients with a designated feedback forum and observe trends in the relationship between patients and their specialty pharmacy. Sponsorship of the SPAB supports the creation and implementation of the Board, including a web forum for patient input to be housed on the PHA website, quarterly review meetings with specialty pharmacies, and promotion of the SPAB by both PHA and CVC.
Sponsor recognition for the Insurance Advocacy and Education program will include acknowledgement in the e-newsletter promotion of four quarterly webinars and on the concluding slide of each webinar. Sponsor recognition for the Specialty Pharmacy Advisory Board will include acknowledgement on the PHA web forum. In addition, sponsors for both programs will be recognized on PHA's Awareness Month website and in the quarterly newsletter Pathlight.
*Both programs mentioned above create a total budget of $211,000. In order to defray the total cost of these critical programs, PHA is seeking minimum sponsorships of $25,000. Sponsorships may be applied to one or both programs.

Since 2009, the Congressional Luncheon has served as an invaluable tool for connecting the PH community with their Members of Congress. Now, with the introduction of the Pulmonary Hypertension Research and Diagnosis Act of 2013 (H.R. 2073 and S. 1453) in the House of Representatives and Senate, the Congressional Luncheon is more valuable than ever.
With a neutral budget and the emphasis on collaboration between government health agencies such as the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and National Institutes of Health (NIH), the PH Research and Diagnosis Act of 2013 is in line with Congressional budget goals, giving it a greater chance of passage. The Congressional Luncheon will serve as the kickoff for this effort, where attendees will educate Members of Congress and their staff about PH from the patient, caregiver and physician perspectives, and share information about PHA's bill. The 2012 Congressional Luncheon had significant representation from elected officials, Congressional staff members, patients and patient supporters, and PHA anticipates another well attended event in 2013.
Sponsor recognition will include signage, introduction and acknowledgement at the Congressional Luncheon as well as on PHA's Awareness Month website and in the quarterly newsletter Pathlight.

Every month, specialty pharmacies reach PHA members and non-members alike through medication packages. Accredo and CVS Caremark, understanding their role in providing patient education and awareness and as part of the Corporate Committee, have provided PHA access to these medication packages. Each of these monthly mailings includes a different flier, allowing PHA to reach more than 20,000 patients with information on how to handle emergency situations, how to connect to a local support group and how to access PH resources online. This flier is often a patient's first introduction to PHA and its community of information, connection and hope.
Sponsor recognition will include acknowledgement on each of the next 12 Specialty Pharmacy monthly fliers (reaching more than 20,000 patients each month; 240,000 each year) on PHA's Awareness Month website and in the quarterly newsletter Pathlight.
$25,000 co-sponsorships
PHA Signature T-shirts are provided to special event organizers and volunteers as a benefit of hosting a Special Event fundraiser within their community. They are an effective way to promote solidarity among event planners and volunteers, while simultaneously raising awareness for PH. The Signature T-shirts allow PHA to promote awareness of PH, brand special events as PHA-supported activities, and spread the message of hope each time members of the community wear their shirts. PHA plans to produce 2,000 T-shirts. In addition, the T-shirts will be made available for purchase through the PHA store.
Sponsor recognition will include printed logos from each sponsoring corporation on the PHA Signature T-shirt sleeve, and acknowledgement on PHA's Awareness Month website as well as in the quarterly newsletter Pathlight.
$12,500 co-sponsorships
During the past year, PHA welcomed more than 1,000 new patients and family members to its Community of Hope. PHA extends a warm welcome to each new member by providing a New Member Welcome Packet that highlights PHA's resources and services and provides information on how to get involved with programs to advance PHA's mission, including the 435 Campaign, PHAware and a "Jump In!" section where patients and families can get a sneak peek at new initiatives at PHA.
Sponsor recognition will include acknowledgement on the New Member Welcome Packet, on PHA's Awareness Month website, as well as the quarterly newsletter, Pathlight.
$10,000 co-sponsorships
PHA folders introduce new and existing members of the PH community to PHA's programs and services by featuring important brochures, fliers and publications in one comprehensive packet. The folders, which are used to make new PHA member packets and to distribute information at PHA events and meetings and through the mail, offer continuous visibility and a broad reach. This year, PHA plans to redesign the folders and increase their reach by using them to distribute information about new initiatives. PHA plans to print and distribute 30,000 folders.
Sponsor recognition will include acknowledgement on the PHA folders, as well as on PHA's Awareness Month website and the quarterly newsletter Pathlight.

Thanks in large part to the PHA Medical Education Fund and PHA's expanding structure across the nation, more people are coming into contact with PHA than ever before. While PHA has many brochures for individual programs and services, this brochure answers the simple but important question, "What is PHA?" Due to the brochure's popularity, PHA is seeking to reprint the brochures for continued distribution over the next year.
Brochures will be made available at PHA on the Road forums, medical and patient conferences and Building Medical Education in PH events. Additionally, PHA will provide copies to special event hosts, support group leaders, and workplace fundraisers, and include copies in media kits and general inquiry packets. PHA plans to print and distribute 15,000 brochures.
Sponsor recognition will include acknowledgement on 15,000 "Meet PHA" Brochure and on PHA's Awareness Month website, as well as in the quarterly newsletter Pathlight.

According to PHA's study, The Impact of Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension (PAH) on the Lives of Patients and Caregivers, newly diagnosed patients report a need for succinct, comprehensive information at their time of diagnosis regarding their emotional concerns, treatments and how their lives may change as a result of PH. The Newly Diagnosed Patient Program provides comprehensive, easy-to-understand resources for newly diagnosed patients and their families, including:
Sponsor recognition will include acknowledgement on the Envelope of Hope, Resources for Family and Friends, PH Handbook for Families, Understanding PH brochure, When an Adult in Your Life is Diagnosed with PH booklet, PH resources magnet, "10 Things to Do" bookmarks, PH Ready and PH Ready Caregivers webinar series, on the bi-annual webinars for newly diagnosed patients and caregivers, on the bi-annual webinar trainings for peer supporters, on PHA's Awareness Month website as well as in the quarterly newsletter Pathlight.
$45,000 co-sponsorships
According to the REVEAL Registry, more than half of PH patients are living with non-idiopathic PH, meaning they live with an associated condition such as COPD or sleep apnea in addition to PH. In order to reach patients living with PH and a secondary disease, PHA has created the Associated Disease Program, which uses outreach to clinics and associated disease organizations to connect patients with services at PHA.
This year, PHA plans to create a series of four secondary disease webinars, to further engage patients who may be living with more than one disease. In addition, PHA will develop a CTEPH brochure and two new "PH and..." brochures, including "PH and COPD" and "PH and Sleep Apnea." PHA also plans to print 1,000 of the eight existing "PH and..." brochures, including: Pulmonary Hypertension and Scleroderma, Pulmonary Hypertension and Sickle Cell Disease, Pulmonary Hypertension and HIV, Pulmonary Hypertension and Methamphetamine Use, Pulmonary Hypertension and HHT, Pulmonary Hypertension and Liver Disease, Pulmonary Hypertension and Lupus and Pulmonary Hypertension and CHD.
Sponsor recognition will include acknowledgement on the print and digital copy each of the CTEPH and "PH and..." brochures, on the secondary disease webinars, on PHA's Awareness Month website as well as in the quarterly newsletter Pathlight.
$22,500 co-sponsorships
One of the greatest obstacles PH patients and caregivers face is feeling isolated and alone, worried that no one understands what it's like living with this disease. PHA's Peer Support Program works to end that isolation, and provide patients, their caregivers and families with the emotional, social and practical assistance necessary for managing PH and staying healthy. Trained PH community members serve as peer mentors on daily and monthly telephone and email support networks, lending a sympathetic ear, giving encouragement, and using their own experiences with PH to help others identify helpful resources.
Peer supporters currently receive an average of 20 calls and emails each day, with an average of 30 more participants on monthly telephone support groups for patients, parents and caregivers. To supplement this support, 22 PH email mentors are actively mentoring at least one mentee. This year, in addition to sustaining the peer supporter networks, PHA plans to design and distribute 50 training manuals for peer supporter trainings, facilitate one-on-one training and follow up with each peer supporter, and distribute 30,000 peer support wallet cards, which will include information about the program.
Sponsor recognition will include acknowledgement on the training manual, peer support wallet card, as a part of five peer supporter trainings, on the peer support telephone line and email support network web pages, on PHA's Awareness Month website and in the quarterly newsletter Pathlight.
$22,000 co-sponsorships
In 2012, PHA conducted The Impact of Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension (PAH) on the Lives of Patients and Caregivers to complement an earlier European study, and to more fully understand the psychosocial effects of living with PH. In response to patient and caregiver feedback about the prevalence of denial, depression, anxiety and stress, PHA developed population-specific Coping with Pulmonary Hypertension guides for newly diagnosed patients, long-term survivors, parents, caregivers and teens. Since then, PHA has expanded the goals of the Psychosocial Support Program to empower patients to determine coping skills that best fit them, to help them stay mentally well with their illness.
In addition to offering the coping guides on the website for download, PHA plans to print 1,000 of each guide and 20,000 psychosocial support postcards to distribute directly to patients, PH centers and associated disease organizations. PHA also plans to design and distribute 1,000 Points of Transition: Self-Management Psychosocial Resources booklets, with information about resources that patients can use by themselves to sustain their mental health. With the help of a professional with a background in social work, PHA will continue training its community leaders in how to address psychosocial issues that they encounter as they offer support through the PH Email Mentor program and Patient-to-Patient telephone support line.
Sponsor recognition will include acknowledgement on 1,000 of each of the five Coping with Pulmonary Hypertension guides, 20,000 psychosocial support postcards, on 1,000 Points of Transition booklets, on the Coping with PH website, on the webinar training for leaders, on PHA's Awareness Month website as well as in the quarterly newsletter Pathlight.
$15,000 co-sponsorships
A key part of PHA's success is its community's enthusiasm for fundraising through special events. The Special Event Toolkit will be a digital and printed resource containing helpful tips, timelines and examples to assist special event planners in hosting PHA Signature Events such as Fun Walks/Runs for a Cure and Periwinkle Parties. The easy-to-understand, how-to information and structured templates will ensure that volunteer event planners, regardless of prior fundraising experience, can host successful community-based PHA Special Event fundraisers. The sponsorship will cover the creation and distribution of 100 printed toolkits and 500 flash drives containing a digital copy of the toolkit, including editable template forms compatible with Microsoft Office.
Sponsor recognition will include acknowledgement on the digital and printed Special Event Toolkit, including the flash drive case, on PHA's Awareness Month website and in the quarterly newsletter Pathlight.
$15,000 co-sponsorship
The Support Group Leader Manual is a valuable tool for both new and experienced support group leaders that provides comprehensive instructions from the first steps of planning a meeting to resources for the ongoing management of group dynamics. This year, PHA will be doing a complete redesign of the current manual, breaking it into three segments so leaders can get exactly what they need, whether general information, specific guidelines for setting up an initial meeting, or ongoing management of a group. Copies will be mailed to all 300 support group leaders, as well as new leaders as they are oriented.
Sponsor recognition will include acknowledgement on the Support Group Leader Manual and PHA's Awareness Month website, as well as in the quarterly newsletter Pathlight.
$7,000 co-sponsorship
As a PH Support Group leader, devoting special attention to newly diagnosed patients and new support group members while simultaneously providing for the needs of the larger group can be a tough act to balance.
PHA aims to make this balancing act easier by giving leaders the Support Group Welcome Brochure to provide an ample introduction to PHA and their support group without ignoring the continuing needs of long-term group members. The brochure explains the purpose of the support group, helps new members know what to expect, provides access to other valuable PHA resources and provides a way for new members to connect with PHA. PHA plans to design, print and distribute 10,000 brochures to 245 support groups across the country.
Sponsor recognition will include acknowledgement on the Support Group Welcome Brochure and on PHA's Awareness Month website, as well as in the quarterly newsletter Pathlight.Back to Sponsorship Opportunities

In order to increase global awareness of pulmonary hypertension and support for patients, PHA works hard to coordinate the collaboration of PH associations around the world. Exhibiting PH resources and distributing publications at international medical meetings each year has proven effective in building a professional network for clinicians and researchers (PHCR) and expanding the reach of PH knowledge to new populations. PHCR's international membership has grown nearly 15% since 2012, and PHA expects that number to continue to increase. With more than 600 leading physicians in the field as members of PHCR, PHA is anxious to engage those who travel and speak internationally with its message.
This sponsorship will create increased opportunities for face-to-face connections abroad by supporting:
Sponsor recognition will include acknowledgement on the international section of PHA's website, on two Spanish webinars, on PHA's Awareness Month website and in the quarterly newsletter Pathlight.

PHA's International Seed Grant Program has been instrumental in the development and growth of global PH associations. The formula is simple: applicants must demonstrate to a peer review panel that with a small infusion of cash, they have a plan to more rapidly accelerate the growth and effectiveness of their association and are willing to share their lessons learned as a best practices across the globe.
Every year, the review panel awards up to three grants of a maximum of $10,000 each or six grants of up to $5,000 each. The grant proposals are reviewed by seasoned leaders who have helped to build PH associations in the U.S. and other nations, including at least one past International Seed Grant winner. Their role goes beyond peer review to mentoring, and they often help applicants refine their ideas to increase the likelihood of success.
Sponsor recognition will include acknowledgement on PHA's Seed Grant website, on print and web materials produced to advertise or award the grants, on PHA's Awareness Month website and in the quarterly newsletter Pathlight.

PHA's comprehensive Pulmonary Hypertension: A Patient's Survival Guide is a "soup-to-nuts" book for patients living with PH. Over the years, PHA has received requests from individuals and PH associations in other countries to translate the Survival Guide into their native language. To date, the Survival Guide has been translated by medical experts fluent in English into Japanese, simplified Chinese, Spanish, Farsi, Korean and Hebrew with plans to translate the text into Dutch. PHA's goal is to distribute copies of the Survival Guide to every association with an explanation of how the translation process works. The translations, which undergo medical review, benefit not only patients living in that country but also patients in the U.S. whose primary language is not English.
Sponsor recognition will include acknowledgement in the letter that accompanies Survival Guide mailings, on PHA's Awareness Month website and in the quarterly newsletter Pathlight.
$25,000 co-sponsorships; each company may set its own matching challengeReserved: Actelion Pharmaceuticals
With matching gifts from members of the PHA Corporate Committee, the End-of-Year fundraising campaign has been immensely successful. When donors know that the impact of their gift will be doubled or tripled from matching gifts, their motivation to support PHA increases considerably. In 2012, despite continued economic hardships, the greatest number of donors yet rose to the occasion and made gifts totaling more than $100,000 to PHA for a campaign of more than $125,000.This unrestricted giving covers a significant portion of the costs of essential initiatives designed to advance PHA's mission. PHA is again seeking sponsors to match its constituents' donations for the 2013 campaign.
Sponsor recognition will include acknowledgement in the End-of-Year appeal, PHA website home page, PHANews, as well as on PHA's Awareness Month website and in the quarterly newsletter Pathlight.

Because of the price, I was skeptical and still skeptical until I checked it over thoroughly. It looks surprisingly well made. There was a tiny chip on one of the little leaves off of a lamp, but it was easily touched up with a little black paint. Easy to put together (although a little time consuming), and easy enough to hang. We purchased a cord cover from Lamps Plus to cover up the cord and it looks really pretty. We have a traditional/casual home in the wine country and wanted something that would sparkle a little but wasn't over the top. Can't beat the price.
I was a little leery about purchasing a chandelier online but I couldn't find what I wanted in the stores. This fit my bill perfectly. Everyone compliments me on it and contrary to other reviews I found it simple to assemble. The crystals came with a few scratched but I emailed the company and they sent me out replacements right away. I'm not going to say these are gorgeous waterford crystals or something to that effect as they are just glass however it's a very beautiful piece. Customer service was great. Shipping was quick and we love the chandelier. The only reason I gave it a 4 was becasue of the glass teardrops they are not crystals but still look great and for the price you can't expect more. We are very happy with our purchase!!
This items is better looking than it shows. Their are more crystals then I expected, and it's just beautiful. We will enjoy this for many years in our bedroom. Thank you, "Overstock" for your great service too! Gayl S.xxxx
Very simple, yet classy chandelier for that shabby chic look. We bought 2 for above our gold/black granite island
I get so many compliments on this fixture- I absolutely love it and it was a great bargain. It looks so expensive. I use it without the shades. Be very careful when hanging that the assembly is sturdy/working properly.
Nice chandelier fits my dining room nicely. I have several wrought iron lamps and black cabinet pulls and bin pulls, and am in the process of switching out all of the brass door knobs for bronze or black, so it fits right in. Installation took my husband and adult son about an hour mostly due to the wiring situation in our ceiling. (FYI: Instructions were in the little bag with the screws, etc). Wish the glass pendants were a bit nicer, and am tempted to find some that look like crystals, although their simplicity gives the chandelier a casual feeling. Downside is the fixture is a bit chunky. Maybe more delicate pendants would lighten it up.
All parts were received unscratched (and extra "crystals" were included). It is not difficult to put together although can be a bit time consuming. For the price, it's perfect. We really like it and get lots of compliments on it. It is a fun and whimsical piece, certainly not of high quality but we didn't expect high quality for the price.
This chandelier looks as nice as the ones that are twice the price. It was well packed. It had all parts. Love this in my dining room over my rustic trestle table!
Very nice. Easy to install. Very satisfied with my purchase

Her proof is pictured on a poster-size photo the 19 year old carries around with her.The image is of her dead brother's crush sedan.Alex shared the story of her brother Caleb with other teens on Saturday at the 2013 Safe America SafeTeen Georgia Driving Academy at the Cobb Galleria. On December 15, 2009, the Morgan County teen was killed when he looked down to text and was killed instantly in a crash.Six months later Caleb's Law was signed by the governor making it illegal to text and drive.The law has deterred some, but other need reminding. That is why Alex goes to events like the one held Saturday which offers teens a day-long driver's education class.Experts say Georgia ranks fourth in the nation for teen-involved crashes with injuries and fatalities. One safety expert says it all comes down to distractions in the car combined with their inexperience.

The first trailer for The Place Beyond the Pines bubbled over with mood, only scratching the surface of the multi-generational story and focusing squarely on the drama's stark look and inherent tension. The latest poster for the movie follows suit, even subverting expectations on the popular ""giant heads"" trend. Stars Ryan Gosling, Bradley Cooper, and Eva Mendes get their moment in the spotlight, but they're forcefully pushed to the top to make way for storm clouds sweeping over a suburban landscape. Pretty much the definition of ""foreboding.""
We caught Place Beyond the Pines at this year's Toronto Film Festival, and can say on good authority that the movie lives up to its morose aesthetic. Director Derek Cianfrance (Blue Valentine) once again finds beauty in the dilapidated, serving parts to Gosling and Cooper that solidify them as the top of the current crop.
Check out the poster below and prepare for this gut punch of a movie when it arrives in theaters on March 29, 2013.

An ambulance crew was set upon by a crazy man earlier this week. They called for help and were first denied it by a supervisor. Please take three minutes and listen to the tape. (article below player)
When Disaster Strikes Detroit, What's the Plan?: MyFoxDETROIT.com
The recording offers a glimpse of the dangers emergency responders in Detroit face on a daily basis. It also shows the woeful lack of planning by city leadership.
I reached out to those paramedics but they never got back to me and I understand why. Whenever I quote a cop or firefighter or medic it seems the city comes down on them with suspensions or other disciplinary action.
And when that happens their colleagues call me and ask: what's the deal? What's my hang-up with the fire department? What change is coming from my magnifying glass except that good people in uniform are getting burned?
As a reporter for the New York Times, I covered Ground Zero in New York from Day 1 to Day 365. I wrote at least 40 obituaries.
Over the course of that year, I also I profiled Squad 1 in Brooklyn – an FDNY unit that lost half its men that terrible, unseasonably warm morning.
I got to know firefighters well. Their fraternity. Their interdependence. Their bravery. I like them. They are men and women of substance. When the bell rings, they answer. No questions asked.
And then, three years ago, I returned home to Detroit. Naturally, I gravitated to the fire department. I profiled Engine 23/Squad 3 on the city's east side as one of my first newspaper stories.
I couldn't believe what I saw. Boots with holes in them. Air tanks out of date. Broken down rigs. A jerry-rigged alarm bell. The department brass hadn't bothered to compile statistics for four years -- a violation of federal guidelines.
While the rest of the country's fire departments retooled and retrained after the terrorist attacks in New York, Detroit seemed to be in retrograde.
In late 2008, one of the men I profiled at Engine 23 in Detroit died. Walt Harris smothered when a roof collapsed on him and the men could not find him because his homing alarm did not trigger.
It was ruled an arson, making his death a murder, but the police brass put no homicide squad on the case until I shamed them in print. Eventually, the arsonist was caught and sent to prison. Still, it didn't make me many friends in City Hall and Harris is still dead.
Last September, fires fueled by high winds swept through the city. Neighborhoods burned. There was not then -- and there is not now -- a comprehensive plan for such a fire emergency. In fact, suburban chiefs tell me there is no comprehensive regional plan should the city --God forbid -- be struck with a 9/11 type scenario.
It's so broken, the city is finding it difficult to find a qualified candidate to fill its vacant fire commissioner job.
Since I started working at FOX 2 a few months ago, I've given you at least a dozen stories about infants and elderly who didn't get an ambulance on time; firefighters and cops thrown in the back of squad cars and transported to the hospital because there were no ambulances available.
The city says the problem is that citizens abuse the 911 system, treating ambulances like taxi cabs. But the fact is people in Cleveland call more. And Cleveland paramedics manage to get to an emergency call in eight minutes.
Why in Detroit don't all police cars have computers? Why do firefighters carry antiquated radios? Why don't dispatcher operators have the software to track ambulances? Why does the fire department have difficulty reporting arson number accurately?
City cops routinely pull over to show me their beaten down cruisers. The federal government has sent in excess of $100 million over the last decade to beef up homeland security in the area. Where's the money, they ask?
I can't answer them. When I try to find out, I'm met with official roadblocks. I'm asked to pay thousands of dollars to view public documents and contracts that should be available with a phone call.
But I'll keep digging. I'll do it on behalf of those in uniform and the people they serve. I'll do it because I don't think I have another obituary in me.

True, crisp ginger
We use ginger essential oil to warm and spice up Ginger fragrance so it smells like true, crisp ginger (not gingerbread). We combine it with fragrant flower absolutes - mimosa, geranium, rose, ylang ylang and jasmine - beautiful scents which are traditionally used to keep you feeling calm and serene. A touch of juniperberry adds a vibrant, fruity note, just to keep you on your toes. We wanted to encapsulate the excitement of sailing to the Spice Island, tasting ginger for the first time and the feeling you get as it warms your body.
- The not-so-new kid on the block: Ginger was first conceived for the LUSH predecessor, Cosmetics To Go.
- Spicy, floral fragrance: Ginger perfume is a wonderfully crisp scent to keep you fresh and focused.
- Main notes: Ginger, mimosa, rose, geranium, jasmine, juniper, ylang-ylang

A:Mine tends to melt down some because of how hot it gets here. Just put the cap on it and sit it some place cool. I am not sure about how melted you mean... if it is liquified, I imagine you could stick it in the freezed for a little while and then it would be ok.Answered on 6/28/2014 by Mary from Alabama

- Love DermaDoctor!! Review by HopeAgain
Quality Price Value
Well, first, I have to qualify that the key to all skincare is to use the same brand/product line for your skincare because they're all designed to work together and that delivers the best results. So, when I try a new product line, I try the line - not just one individual thing, so I feel a little weird posting a review for just one product (I guess I'll post this on the other products I'm using too). Anyway, oddly enough I read about DermaDoctor in a Jezabel article about adult onset cystic acne. I was curious and hopped on over to the website. I've tried TONS of other product lines and brands since my once zit-free skin turned into a nightmare of cystic acne at 25 years old (seriously! Not a teenager. Why was this happening?!). 6 years later, I still hadn't found anything that helped THAT much. My doctor put me on a clinical anti-cyst topical gel. It helped, but not that much and turned my skin into a greasy mess. I decided to give this a try. I got the Ain't Misbehavin' cleanser, the Ain't Misbehavin' serum, and the Ain't Misbehavin' face mask. My skin started improving noticeably. I decided to add the Litmus test toner and this Litmus test facial moisturizer and WOW. My skin hasn't looked this good well. . . ever. Even back in my younger days when I didn't get acne, I ALWAYS had stubborn blackheads on my nose that I'd resigned to managing with a combo of attacking them once a week with a blackhead remover and covering them with makeup. They are GONE. I couldn't believe it. After all these years, no blackheads! And, no acne!!! Anyway, I've read some reviews about miraculous overnight results. Skincare doesn't work that way. It usually takes between 6-12 weeks to really start seeing results. I will say that I noticed improvement within the first week, and now 8 weeks later, my face is clear and (dare I use a cliche?) my complexion is luminous. Even my boyfriend commented on how great my skin looks, and he doesn't usually notice things like that. This stuff is not cheap, but at least in my case, it is worth every penny. If you're like me and your skin suddenly decided to revert to its teenage years well into adulthood, I'd say do yourself a favor, and try these products!

i love this product. since I started using this plus the litmus cleanser, my skin has looked incredibly clear. No more oil, no more blemishes. Not sure the products have anything to do with it considering I am using some oral meds but they definitely aren't hurting.
- loving it Review by Rachel
Value Quality Price
This product is on the pricey side, however it works wonders. I first bought it a few years ago and loved the results. But after my bottle ran out, I tried several other cheaper lotions expecting the same results. Finally, I came to my senses and purchased it again. I'm so glad I did. It's a great product, and will make your skin glow. I think it's helping with those bitty fine lines that are starting to form. I do use the retinol cream every other night and the facial moisturizer every morning and alternate nights. I swear, I can see those lines fading. I will continue to buy this cream.
- Amazing!! You will notice a big difference! Review by Valerie
Price Value Quality
I am in the skic care/beauty industry so I have tried a lot of products & I have to say this is amazing! It even makes your makeup look flawless once you have applied this moisturizer first. Because it is a little steep in price, I use something else at night & save this for daytime so I can wear it under my makeup for that flawless looking finish! I have very sensitive eyes & this does not bother them. This is my first DD product to try & I will definitely be trying some of your other products!
- Greatest moisturizer EVER! Review by Ces

I purchased this moisturizer and it has changed my skin its glowing, its softer, clearer and so radiant. I feel beautiful. I use with ain't misbehavin ance cleanser and acne control serum. I live in Atlanta, so it gets pretty hot here. Wears beautifully with makeup. Absolutely no irritation or reaction. I'm in love♥

- From a glycolic acid junkie... Review by Anastasia
Price Value Quality
I have tried them ALL... and Litmus Test is thee best! Unfortunately (for me), I've developed a pretty high tolerance to glycolic acid and since it doesn't come in levels or strengths, I have to use a lot more to achieve the same results as most... and with the already steep $50.00 for 1 ounce price tag, it can become quite costly. But it's still my favorite... Believe me, if the price weren't so prohibitive, I would never buy any other brand again!
- From a glycolic acid junkie... Review by Anastasia
Price Value Quality
I've tried them ALL... and Litmus Test is definitely my favorite. Unfortunately (for me), I now have a pretty high tolerance for glycolic acid and since it doesn't come in levels or strengths, I simply have to use much more than the average person to achieve the same results... which can get costly. But I still love it the best!
- Litmus Test is the very best of all our products in my opinion, Review by Karen
Price Value Quality
I've used a prescription strength AHA product (30%) for 20+years and LOVED it.. Then when I hit 50 it just didn't work like it had. I bounced around but never again found anything I was CRAZY about. I started using Derma Dr PiL, Photo therapy sunscreen and Photo therapy eye cream...love them all BUT I'd had some MATRIX treatments for Actinic keratosis and afterwards my face had a fine peel constantly. Makeup just emphasised the flaky ness . THEN Litmus Test.AMAZING! I'm 62 and am constantly told how fresh and beautiful my skin is. Sure, I have a few tiny wrinkles too but the pores are fine, tone is even , and so soft I can't tell you. Still use everything else too but I will always buy this...always...

The property owner, who was standing on his porch watching the turkeys make their daily trek across the road to roost, couldn't believe what he'd just witnessed. As soon as the shooter saw the property owner headed his way, he hurriedly sped away, leaving the gobbler dying in the ditch.

Effective fiscal year 2013 (school year 2012–2013), the Arizona Department of Education/Exceptional Student Services (ADE/ESS) implemented a business rule change that required public education agencies (PEAs) with district-approved programs to only report students who are participating in those programs with service code C. The intent of this change was to improve PEA LRE data with respect to Indicator 5, which is included in the Annual Performance Report. The Office of Special Education Programs (OSEP) evaluates both the State and PEAs on LRE data to ensure that students with disabilities are being placed in the least restrictive settings.
After receiving feedback from the field that this change was not suitable for some EDP students that participate in district-approved EDP programs, ESS will roll back this change for fiscal year 2014 (school year 2013–2014). The rollback of this business rule will allow PEAs to report students who participate in these programs with either service code C or D.
The definitions of service codes C and D are as follows:
|Inside Regular Class less than 40% of the day. (These are children who received special education and related services outside the regular classroom for more than 60% of the school day.) This may include children placed in: self-contained special classrooms with part-time instruction in a regular class; or self-contained special classrooms with full-time special education instruction on a regular school campus.
|Public or Private Separate Day School for greater than 50% of the school day. This may include children placed in: public and private day schools for students with disabilities for a portion of the school day (greater than 50%) and in regular school buildings for the remainder of the school day; or public and private residential facilities if the student does NOT LIVE at the facility.
Note that regardless of the service code reported, there is no impact on the student's funding. Both service codes C and D are classified as self-contained.
To clarify, fiscal year 2013 is the only year that C is the only acceptable service code for students participating in a district-approved EDP program; for all other fiscal years, either service code C or D is allowed.
Please contact us at email@example.com if you have questions.

Consultant Bios
Caroline Bowman
Caroline is from Sarasota, Florida. She is a sophomore philosophy and literature major who applied to CMC with an essay deconstructing her mixed feelings about the Oxford Comma (But she promises not to spend your entire consultation session discussing the comma's merits and flaws with you.) She thinks balance is important, so when she's not helping students at the Center for Writing, she is working as the news editor of The Student Life or copy editing for the Los Angeles Review of Books. She closely identifies with Liz Lemon from "30 Rock" and is still trying to decide if that's a good or bad thing.
Rae Brookshire
Rae Brookshire is a sophomore from Los Angeles, dedicated fully to not finding a major. She can be found yearning for Motley coffee, printing in Poppa lab, and (most often) ruminating over second sentences. Rae also runs with her beloved Stagthenas and edits international content for the Claremont Port Side. As a copy editor for the Los Angeles Review of Books, she believes, like Collete, that "all writing leads to more writing."
Christie Capper
Christie Capper is from near San Francisco, CA. She enjoys drinking chocolate milk, playing ping pong, and jumping--into fresh water lakes, newly raked piles of leaves, and piles of snow. She is currently a Management-Engineering student, but likes discussing other topics such as current events and politics. She would love to help you with your essay, regardless of the subject! Please come visit!
Miriam Cruz
Miriam is currently a junior majoring in Philosophy, Politics, and Economics, and is still readapting to the adherence to time commonly found in the U.S. after her fruitful semester abroad in Madrid, where time is not a real thing. Other than her favorite on-campus job at the Center For Writing and Public Discourse, Miriam is a Resident Assistant at the Student Apartments, where her residents welcomed her with responsible decision-making and quiet, calming music. Some of her favorite things include sparkling water, Beyoncé, and traveling. She loves creative writing but welcomes papers of all disciplines. No need to look up her shift schedule - if you're passing by Kravis just listen for her laugh.
Kenneth Cunanan
Kenny Cunanan hails from the always interesting travel destination of Los Angeles California, and is planning to major in something that interests him. (Un)fortunately, most of the majors at the school interest him, so he's going through an intense vetting process, which will be completed by next semester (hopefully). He loves hearing himself talk, but what he enjoys more than talking is listening to other people share their stories. This tendency manifests itself primarily in late night conversations with his precocious roommate Nadeem. When not working as a consultant for the Center for Writing, Kenny works as a consultant for SOURCE and as a graphic designer that makes weird little posters for various organizations. Elsewhere, he can be heard laughing at his own jokes, and belting lyrics from various musicals.
Jess Davis
Hailing from Santa Barbara, California, Jess is a Government major who spends her free time reading, hiking, and referencing the Founding Fathers. Jess is passionate about American constitutionalism, but she is excited to work with you on papers of all subjects. On campus, Jess also works as a Lead Consultant for SOURCE Nonprofit Consulting and as a Staff Writer for the Port Side.
Elizabeth Duckworth
Elizabeth (who is far more likely to respond to Ducky) is from a northern suburb of Chicago, Illinois. After a year of studying off-campus, she is thrilled to be back at CMC! When she is not helping peers craft concise, powerful essays she enjoys encouraging future students to commit to CMC while interviewing applicants for the admissions office, cleaning her apartment, writing thesis, and enjoying the SoCal weather. When not in a consulting session, she would be more than happy to discuss the inherent supremacy of dogs over cats, almost any show on television, or the plight of lemurs in Madagascar. She is looking forward to seeing the reader of this bio in the Center for Writing and Public Discourse!
Nadeem Farooqi
Nadeem is from the distant land of Rancho Cucamonga, California. Currently a Government and Economics major, he enjoys engaging in philosophical and political discussions late at night with his roommate, Bruno Mars (known informally as Kenny Cunanan). When not giving tours and travelling for competitive club tournaments, Nadeem spends his time debating, watching movies, researching international and domestic politics, dancing, singing, hanging out with friends, and telling many (very, very, very, VERY many) cheesy puns and jokes. With extensive experience in argumentation and discussion characterizing his academic career, Nadeem is excited to serve as a consultant for the Writing Center.
Carly Goodkin
Carly is from Bellevue, Washington. She divides her time between art, Pedal Spin, AquaFit and dance (at some point, you may even see her in a Reverb hip hop performance). Carly loves Claremont, but she left her heart in Madrid where she lived and studied this past summer. Having taught as a tutor and a choreographer throughout high school, Carly is enjoying the opportunity to continue working with other students as a writing consultant.
Lauren Gonzalez
Lauren Gonzalez is from Sacramento, California and is a Biology & Literature dual major. When not at the Center, she is most likely to be found on the second floor of the Keck Science Department, either working in lab or recruiting for the Keck folk band (currently still in the planning stages). She is always happy to talk about papers, presentations, cover letters, Edinburgh, the molecular responses of plants to heat stress, folk music, and/or Harry Potter, among other things.
Laila Heid
Laila Heid is a senior majoring in Government at Claremont McKenna College. Although she is originally from Seattle, Laila likes to consider herself a resident of both Washingtons, as she hopes to reside in Washington D.C. after graduation. On campus, Laila is an active member of CMC's theater troupe, Under the Lights, and is also one of the RAs of Stark Hall. She is excited to be a part of such a great team, and hopes to help her peers in any way she can!
McKenzie Javorka
Currently in her senior year at CMC, McKenzie is originally from a little town called Kalispell in northwest Montana. She knows her way around a grizzly bear and has taken on a mountain or two in her day, but don't let that scare you. Wilderness-loving aside, McKenzie studies Psychology and Literature, and aims to earn her Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology after graduating from CMC. She has also studied French for about six years, spending the fall of 2012 abroad in the picturesque city of Aix-en-Provence, France. When not working at the Center for Writing and Public Discourse, she can be found raising money for the school as a student manager at Phonenite or assisting professors with psychology research. During her free time, McKenzie enjoys doing ballet and modern dance, playing her guitar and singing, or simply being outdoors.
Hyo Sung Joo
Hyo Sung Joo hails from South Korea. Yes, it's okay to call him Hyo, and yes, that's a "yo" with an H-sound. Hyo Sung majors in International Relations, with a thematic focus on national security, which will prepare him (for sure!) for army service later. We will have to see. Also, with a long-distance love for football - the English one - Hyo trusts that Tottenham Hotspurs will win the League someday. He has taken on average 2.2 government classes each semester, which makes him an approachable consultant for those scary 25+ page research papers.
Aliza Kellerman
Sadly, this is Aliza's last semester at CMC, and sadder still, this means her last semester at the CWPD has commenced. As a Religious Studies major, Aliza has taken a generous sip of the humanities kool-aid. In particular, she loves pouring over philosophy papers. Hit her with your most obscure Levinas; she's up to the challenge! She is currently working on her senior thesis, which will explore the connection between Ashkenazi Jews and comics. When she's not writing her thesis, she can be spotted at the West End Shelter for Animals in Ontario, coveting the puppies she cannot bring back to Auen. Additionally, she loves yogurt and even skyr, which is technically a type of soft cheese. After graduation she will return to New York, where she interned with Random House and Writers House LLC, to establish a career in commercial fiction editorial. She hopes that her starry-eyed ambitions will not be (utterly) dismissed within a week.
Joel Kirk
Bio coming soon!
David Leathers
David is a current junior hailing (more likely raining) from Seattle. He is a Philosophy, Politics & Economics major here because he still doesn't really know what he wants to do after CMC. He has also studied Arabic for 2.5 years, which took him to Amman, Jordan for a semester. In his free time, David enjoys playing baseball, frisbee, singing in A Capella, taking photos, acting in and watching theater, reading The Economist, telling people about the greatness that is CMC...and helping people become better writers at the Center for Writing and Public Discourse. Stop on by to chat about how to improve your paper, project, or most anything else!
Simon Ma
Simon is majoring in Biology and Economics. His interests include dancing, writing, and rooting for his favorite sports teams. As an avid Broncos fan, Simon wholeheartedly believes that Tim Tebow will develop into the best quarterback to ever play the game of football. Simon spends his weekends studying Organic Chemistry and volunteering at the Children's Hospital in Los Angeles. In addition to assisting students at the Center for Writing and Public Discourse, Simon works as a Lab TA for General Chemistry. He has taken numerous science courses, and is very familiar with the structure of lab reports.
Gracie Mahan
Gracie is originally from the High Plains of Texas, the bustling city of Lubbock to be more precise, where the cotton grows as thick as the Texan accents. She majors in International Relations, with a focus on Security Studies, and she loves her job at the Center for Writing and Public Discourse. When she isn't working with wicked writing in the Center, you can find Gracie sparring in the boxing ring above Ducey, craving Mexican food, or walking around campus singing loudly to herself (her roommates like to joke that it allows for them to keep track of her everywhere she goes). Gracie adores spending time in the California sunshine, she loves to read and write, and that pretty much sums her up!
Regina Mullen
A Literature and International Relations dual major from Menlo Park, California, Regina enjoys hiking, Mexican food, Latin American literature, and cats. Apart from working at the Center for Writing and Public Discourse, Regina plays for the CMS volleyball team, works in the equipment room, and hopes to study abroad in Prague. Some more of her favorite things include spending time with her brothers, and eating breakfast for dinner. She's also never met a Harrison Ford movie she didn't like. Regina is happy to help students of every discipline with papers at any stage of the writing process, and is available to help with beginning level Spanish papers as well.
Shree Pandya
Shree is a Government-Economics dual major. In addition to consulting at the Center for Writing and Public Discourse, she works for the Keck Center of International and Strategic Studies and is a research assistant for the Government department. Her academic interests include (but definitely aren't limited to): sustainable development, History, Government/International Relations, Literature, and Gender Studies. In her free time, she can be found strumming her guitar idly or reading decidedly nonacademic science fiction and fantasy novels. That, or watching reruns of Castle or Firefly.
Claudia Raigoza
Claudia is a proud native of Hollywood, California. Ironically, she witnessed her first snowfall while studying abroad in "sunny" Southern Spain. During her time at CMC, she has managed to combine her passion for politics and tapas by dual majoring in Government and Spanish with a sequence in Leadership Studies. When she is not reviewing papers in two languages at the CWPD, you can find Claudia working as a Research Assistant and Editor for KLI, cheering loudly at a Stags Soccer game, or co-authoring a blog which recounts the days in the life of a sassy Maltese named "Ladybug."
Veronica Salas
For Veronica Salas, home is where the heat is. Born and raised in Mesa, Arizona, she will graduate this year with a degree in International Relations. Having just returned from a year-long study abroad hiatus in Chile and Argentina, Veronica is beyond excited to be back at the Center. When she is not on shift, you might find her hibernating under some blankets with thesis material in hand or basking in the sunlight at Scripps pool – but again, always toting a few readings.
Tyler Sonnemaker
Currently residing in Houston, Texas, originally from Portland, Oregon, Tyler is a junior majoring in Philosophy & Public Affairs. His other campus engagements include helping students find their inner Bezos at the CIE and discovering new ways to opine via the Forum. When not being academically productive, he produces music, listens to his vinyl collection, and plays hoops. Tyler is happy to assist anyone with their writing in any way that he can.
Nora Studholme
Nora is from far-away Charlottesville, Virginia. She is a double major in Economics and Anthropology with her sights set on someday working in and with developing nations. While Nora dreams of someday running her own business, one of her most fond ambitions is to get old and sit on her porch in a rocking chair, spending each day writing in the sunshine. For now, she is delighted with teaching yoga, writing articles and editing for "The Forum," and adoring CMC and life in general. Bring her a paper of ANY topic, and she will be genuinely excited and you will have made her day!
Clancy Tripp
Clancy Tripp is from Indiana where she is surrounded by cornfields and the state beverage is water. She is currently a Literature and Media Studies major who takes, in the registrar's opinion, entirely too many Creative Writing classes. She also works for The Forum and recently began her own CMC-centric satire site called The Golden Antlers. She is a staunch defendant of the Oxford comma but will still be friends with you if you forget to use it. She looks forward to tutoring you!
Caroline Ward
Caroline Ward is a sophomore from Edina, Minnesota interested in Economics/Accounting and Literature. When not at the CWPD, she can likely be found practicing at the tennis courts with her fellow CMS Athenas. In her free time, Caroline enjoys perusing farmers markets, watching Netflix documentaries, and spending time near large bodies of water. She is extremely excited to be a new member of the amazing consultant team!
Chloe Whang
Chloe is from Seoul, Korea. She is majoring in Philosophy, Politics, and Economics. Chloe plans to go on to graduate school right after college but later hopes to be "that lucky girl" who takes over the most coveted seat behind the news desk at KBS, a major TV station in South Korea. While not working at the Center for Writing, she can be found walking around campus with her pink "sunbrella," taking impulsive road trips to the beach, or exploring different cafes around Claremont. She looks forward to working with her peer writers on a variety of writing assignments.
Andy Willis
Andy Willis is a Government major and a senior. Aside from consulting at the CWPD, Andy is an Athenaeum fellow for this academic year and he is passionate about politics, popular culture, and CMC's Model United Nations team. Andy's identity as the son a Polish girl from Massachusetts who found a Canadian boy from California in Germany and then subsequently gave birth to his sister and him in a suburb of Kuala Lumpur is not exactly straightforward. Therefore, he appreciates complexity and he realizes that there is always more behind a paper than the product itself. On the topic of subjects of expertise, he is a bit of a generalist and looks forward to being surprised, intrigued, and pleasantly befuddled by the varied papers brought to the Center.

EMU students and parents voice safety concerns following an upswing of crime on and near campus. Football player Demarius Reed was found shot to death on Friday in his off-campus apartment building. Police believe he may have been robbed and then murdered. Then, within the next 48 hours, two separate incidents of sexual assault were reported by female students. Both incidents were reported to have taken place on campus in a dormitory. In both cases, the women say they knew their alleged attackers. EMU police say one of the suspects is a student at the university and has been arrested. The second suspect is a man from Ohio who was visiting a relative on campus."I come to campus at night when I have classes and it just made me scared about security, or if you walk to your car late at night you never know what could happen," Zainab Malik shares with Fox 2's Alexis Wiley. "The safety of our students and our staff is of primary importance at Eastern Michigan University - it's of utmost importance," Geoff Larcom says. Larcom is executive director of media relations for the university. He says the university has beefed up security on campus and crime has gone down. However, parents like Kim and Jim Turnquist say life off campus is very different.Their 23-year-old daughter Julia Niswender was murdered in her Peninsular Place apartment less than one year ago and less than one mile away from Reed's apartment. In a bizarre coincidence Niswender's mother just interviewed Reed for a job."What parent wants to go through what my wife and I are going through?" Jim Turnquist asks. "The community over there that houses these kids need to know that they need to help make sure that they're safe. I know they cannot stop everything from happening, I mean things happen. But, you know, obviously there are some issues going on over there and they need to be addressed," Kim Turnquist says. But despite the recent tragedy several students still say they feel safe."I have night classes and I walk home. I mean, I'm aware of my surroundings but I feel safe," Torrie Veit, an EMU student, says. "What I've seen is been more police officers that it was last year," student Nate Coleman shares. Meanwhile Ypsilanti police continue the search for Niswender and Reed's killers. The university says its determined to keep its students safe."We plan on embarking on serious discussions with, in a collaborative effort, with other police agencies, with Ypsilanti city government, representatives of city government, residences around the area on how we can work collaboratively to improve security in the areas off campus," Larcom says. Crime Stoppers is offering a $10,000 reward for information that leads to the arrest of Niswender's killer and a $5,000 reward for information that leads to the arrest of Reed's killer.
Anyone who has information regarding the crime should call Crime Stoppers of Michigan at 1-800-SPEAK-UP (1-800-773-2587). All calls and cash rewards are completely anonymous.

text: I swear, nobody wants my job. Nobody. It's a lot of writing and you don't have the extended contact with the same kids that most people really enjoy about the job. I'm kind of an oddball that I like it so much. Every time they have had an opening, it has been filled by a new hire because the people here don't want the job. But apparently they are going to choose someone at random who doesn't want to work here and replace me with them. While putting me in a position I don't want, either. Seriously.
